Chapter 586

When he stood by the iron curtain and looked at the Federal Republic of Germany separated by a wall, he had been rolling all kinds of images about Volkswagen in his mind. As a supporter of German cars, he would never let go of Volkswagen, the future Big Mac.

Although Xie liaosha's body is imprisoned in the east of the iron curtain, his capital can freely travel between the East and the West. According to Blackstone's investigation of the current Volkswagen Group, the majority of the company's equity is still in the hands of the federal government. In addition, the Porsche family also has a lot of shares in the Volkswagen Group.

Xie liaosha asked Blackstone to ask the West German government if it wanted to sell the world-famous automobile industry group, but Blackstone met a cold nail. The West German government did not want the Pearl of German industry to fall into the hands of foreign capital.

Now Xie liaosha is really eager to see through Volkswagen. This company is not as big as later generations, and its products are very few. The best-selling car, the beetle, has begun to decline in the U.S. market, while the newly developed golf only enjoys high reputation in Europe. It can be said that no matter from any point of view, the company is on the decline at this moment, but Xie liaosha thinks that now is a good time to start.

Now the global automobile industry is still divided by the iron curtain. On this side of the iron curtain is self entertainment in socialist countries. On the other side of the iron curtain, cheap cars from Japan are eating away at the consumer markets in Europe and the United States. However, Xie liaosha knows that once the iron curtain is broken, the original socialist camp will become a dumping ground for Europe. They will annex part of the industrial capacity originally belonging to the socialist camp to supplement production capacity, and the Eastern European market originally belonging to brands such as Volga and LADA will also be occupied by western European automobile brands.

Xie liaosha knew that no matter how he saved Golgi automobile factory, he could not stop the wave of annexation. Therefore, Xie liaosha thinks it is better to take advantage of the situation, first control the blue chip stock of Volkswagen, and then complete the integration of the socialist automobile industry through Volkswagen.

The unfriendly attitude of the West German government irritated him, but it did not stop him from his ambition to buy Volkswagen. Soon, KKR, a famous leveraged buyout company in the United States, received a secret entrustment from the Bank of Columbia, hoping to use KKR to attack Volkswagen group with the help of the Bank of Columbia. So a conspiracy against Volkswagen in the hands of the German government began to unfold gradually.

Under the remote control of seryosa, KKR was the first to sell in the German stock market. They slowly began to absorb the shares of Volkswagen from the market. Peterson of Blackstone, on the other hand, left for the Federal Republic of Germany to have a dialogue with the West German government and the Porsche family, the major shareholders of the Volkswagen Group, to discuss with them the issue of VW's equity.

Just as he was waiting for progress in East Berlin, he received a call from Yakovlev. On the phone, Yakovlev asked seryov to return home as soon as possible.

"Is there something urgent? My investigation in East Germany is not over yet! " Xie liaosha said casually.

"Yeltsin and ligachov are becoming more and more disrespectful recently. He actually moved to the unfinished building in the workers' new village to work! The general secretary asked you to come back and persuade Yeltsin to stop fighting against the Central Committee! " Yakovlev said anxiously.

"It's not easy for me to come forward with this kind of thing. I'm just an official at the vice ministerial level. How can I reconcile the contradiction between the two members of the Political Bureau! By the way, I also want to ask you a question. You said that if foreign enterprises want to invest here, is it allowed in terms of policy? " Xie liaosha deliberately digs off the topic and says.

"Xie liaosha, you bought a little big step! However, I can tell you that this matter has not yet been finalized, and it is likely to need to be discussed by the Central Committee. By the way, which company is so interested in us? " Yakovlev asked curiously.

"It's not people who are interested in us, it's me! You don't know how many years our LADA has been produced, but it's still the same. In Western Europe, people's cars are the same every year. Let's say Volga's power steering. A few years ago, only luxury cars were available in Western Europe, but now even many low-end cars use this technology. In addition, there are car air conditioning, Originally, the car air conditioner on LADA was a selling point, but this year, almost all cars have taken the car air conditioner as a standard configuration. If things go on like this, our market will only become smaller and smaller... "Xie liaosha combined with his thoughts and summary of some problems during this period of time, and began to discuss the problems of automobile industry with Yakovlev.

"Xie liaosha, since you have such an idea, you might as well put it forward at this year's Central Committee. Maybe we can talk about it... "Yakovlev wanted to finish this topic quickly. He just wanted to let seliosha come back quickly and let Yeltsin, the mad dog, stop attacking ligachev. Although Yakovlev also had a lot of opinions on ligachev, Yakovlev was Gorbachev's confidant, and he knew the real reason for his support.

Although Gorbachev always advocated openness and reformed the political system of the Soviet Union. However, the following departments did not carry out the reform or the implementation was not in place, which greatly reduced the effect of Gorbachev's reform. Therefore, it is imperative for Gorbachev to take back the power of the Ministry. But this plan has caused more trouble, that is, because the political chaos brought about by the reform has seriously affected the lives of front-line workers, and the supply of various living materials has made those workers dissatisfied. It's even on the verge of a strike.

On the one hand, Gorbachev tried his best to weaken his power, but on the other hand, he wanted to persuade Yeltsin that there was no such good thing in the world. When Stalin was alive decades ago, no one dared to strike even in the famine after the war, while Gorbachev made the workers refuse to work because of a few bars of soap.

After chatting with Yakovlev for an hour, Xie liaosha didn't decide the time to return to China. However, Xie liaosha knows that he won't be here long.

"Maybe we should make Poland's fire more prosperous before we go back!" Xie liaosha secretly planned in his heart.
