Chapter 1901 Merger of Germany and Germany

The wheel of history keeps moving forward and no one can stop it; the same is true for the merger of the two Germanys. Of course, the merger of the two Germanys is not a good thing for Bao Zixuan and Heiyun Group! West Germany itself is the third largest economic power in the world.

The level of science and technology has always been at the leading position in the world. If East Germany is added, it will be even more powerful; few countries are its rivals.

At the same time, East Germany not only merged with West Germany, but also became a member of NATO. Although East Germany no longer exists in name, this is the fact. No one can deny this, and it is impossible to change it!

Perhaps it is precisely because of the continuous separation of Eastern European countries and the serious internal problems of the Soviet Union that the behemoth of the Soviet Union collapsed. The merger of the two Germanys is inevitable, and the disintegration of the Soviet Union is only a matter of time; something must be done in this process, otherwise the future

But he doesn't even have the ability to protect himself.

Time came to October 2, 1990, when the East German government agencies announced that they would stop working; the Federal Republic of Germany fully took over the East German embassies and consulates abroad. Next was the reunification celebration of the two Germanys; but Bao Zixuan was in the mood to participate; he still had

More important things to do!

The reunification of the two Germanys once brought a heavy burden to the German economy. It is indeed sad and joyful, and it deserves celebration. Economic growth continued to slow down in the years after the reunification. You must know that for the reunification of the country, the Germans paid 1.5 trillion US dollars.

The cost is more than the national debt of the country.

The weak economic conditions of East Germany and the unrealistic exchange rate between the two German currencies caused a sharp decline in East Germany's industrial competitiveness and caused the closure of many factories, resulting in heavy economic losses.

For the Germans, it was indeed a heavy loss; but for Heiyun Group and Bao Zixuan, it was a lot of money. The official exchange rate between East Germany and West Germany was one to one, and the merger was indeed based on

This ratio is exchangeable; but on the black market it has already exceeded 4:1, or even higher.

Even if many East Germans have the opportunity, they will exchange the East German Mark into other currencies. After all, holding it in their hands means devaluation. On the contrary, because of the huge economic size and advanced technology, the West German Mark is recognized in the world.

The degree is very high.

Peng Yifei has been staying in East Germany in recent years. Currently, Heiyun Group is definitely the largest holder of the East German Mark. Because of the Plaza Accord, the West German Mark has been appreciating.

So far, 100 West German Marks can be exchanged for 58 US dollars; it is definitely one of the most valuable currencies in the world.

Although the merger of the two Germanys paid a heavy price, everyone with a discerning eye knows that Germany will become stronger after reunification. Even if the East German mark is absorbed, it will not have a great impact on the overall market; the mark is still very strong.

Bonn, Germany, inside the Provisional Chancellery; different from the catharsis and celebration of the people outside, a group of elderly people are discussing the future and direction of Germany after reunification.

The East German government agencies announced that they would stop working, which meant that everything was handed over to West Germany. For West Germany, it was indeed a recognition. But for the top leaders of the country, it was also a huge pressure.

In what direction will Germany develop after reunification, and how to quickly integrate East Germany? It can be said that there are so many things, it is very headache to look at them!

An old man about 60 years old stood up and said: "Everyone, East Germany has made its attitude clear. To be precise, it has handed over the entire Germany to us."

"For the future of the German nation, they have made concessions and sacrifices; next we must come up with plans and measures, and we must not let down the colleagues who have made sacrifices."

"Now I don't want to hear any voices that are impossible or impossible; if anyone feels that he is not qualified for the current job, he can resign immediately. Participating in the great cause of national reunification is not only for the German nation; it can also leave a name in history. It will be possible in the future.

The writing has been included in the textbook, I hope you will cherish this opportunity."

"Don't say in a lifetime, maybe in several lifetimes, you will never encounter such a major event."

Everyone should perform their duties without making any excuses or reasons; including me, there is no way out for everyone!

Soon, various ministerial figures in Germany went to arrange work. Indeed, at this time, all Germans had no way out. Whether the newly unified Germany can gain international recognition has been very critical in the past few days.

Not everyone left. The Finance Minister chose to stay; he had a lot of work to report at the moment. The reason why Germany was able to unify had a lot to do with West Germany's desperate spending of money.

Although there have been considerable fiscal surpluses in recent decades, and a large amount of national debt has been issued in order to promote national reunification, West Germany has been gritting its teeth and persisting in getting the United States, the Soviet Union, Britain and France to agree to the merger of the two Germanys, which required a huge amount of money.

Now that the East German mark is to be integrated into the West German monetary system, it will have a huge impact on the West German economic system; you must know that since the split of Germany, the number of marks issued by East Germany in the past few decades has been quite a lot.

Direct one-to-one exchange is likely to overwhelm the German economy. Many things require the Prime Minister’s nod or intervention; the Finance Minister has no good solution!

Anyone who knows a little bit about world politics knows that the person who just spoke is none other than the current West German Prime Minister - Helmut Kohl!

Helmut Kohl; born on April 3, 1930 in Ludwigshafen on the Rhine River. Joined the Christian Democratic Union in 1947. Obtained a doctorate in philosophy in 1958. From 1969 to 1976, he served as governor of Rhineland-Palatinate.

State Prime Minister. He has served as Chairman of the Christian Democratic Union since 1973. On October 1, 1982, Social Democratic Chancellor Schmidt stepped down in a "constructive vote of no confidence" and Kohl was elected Prime Minister of the Federal Republic of Germany. This was the first time that the Christian Democratic Union was in opposition.

Returned to power after 13 years.

After Kohl came to power, he expanded state investment, encouraged private factories to build factories to increase employment opportunities, and adopted austerity policies to balance the balance of payments and reduce social welfare, which helped the West German economy escape the crisis in the early 1980s and enter the development stage. In terms of foreign policy

Emphasis was placed on maintaining friendly relations with the United States, strengthening cooperation with European Community countries, and continuing to develop relations with the Soviet Union.

In recent years, it has been committed to the issue of German reunification. After the "2+4" talks with East Germany, the United States, the Soviet Union, Britain and France, a treaty on the reunification of the two Germanys was signed on August 31, 1990. On October 3, the Democratic Republic of Germany joined the Federal Republic of Germany. History

If there are no deviations, Kohl will be elected as the first chancellor of Germany after reunification in two months. At the same time, he will be the longest-serving prime minister of Germany after the war.

He is definitely a legendary figure, and it was under his full mediation that Germany was finally unified!

Cole naturally understands what it means that the Finance Minister has not left; it has indeed been somewhat difficult for him recently.

The West German Finance Minister said without any nonsense: "Your Excellency, Prime Minister, everything is going on in an orderly manner at present. The major banks in West Germany have added many windows to specifically serve the people of East Germany in exchanging marks."

"It's easy for ordinary people to solve it, but some big companies hold huge amounts of East German marks; how to solve it?"

"If the exchange rate is still based on one-to-one exchange, it will definitely have a serious impact on West Germany, or the German economy after reunification. If that is the case, what all Germans will have to do every day in the next ten years is to repay debts."

As the Prime Minister of West Germany, Kohl naturally knew what the so-called big companies in the Finance Minister's mouth were. Most East German companies were state-owned, and many of them were losing money; it was impossible to hold too much money in their hands.

It must be some foreign speculators who want to make a fortune while Germany is reunified.

Cole thought for a moment and said: "In which countries are there companies?"

It doesn’t matter who it is, we still need to see if we can offend him first; or whether strong pressure will work!

The Minister of Finance said directly without any hesitation: "There are the United States, the Soviet Union, Japan, the United Kingdom, France, and other countries in the Middle East. Among them, the largest number of East German Mark holders are from Xiangjiang; Bao Zixuan of the Heiyun Group alone accounts for nearly half

Share!”

There are so many countries, many of which are the ones who decide the reunification of Germany; now is not the time to fall out, there are still too many unresolved problems. Of course, Germany at this moment has no capital to fall out.

Cole was not surprised when he heard the names of Heiyun Group and Bao Zixuan; the cooperation between Heiyun Group and East Germany lasted for more than ten years. And this time, most of the East German state-owned enterprises were acquired by Xiangjiang businessmen; although

I felt unhappy. But I also knew that before the merger, East Germany was a sovereign country and West Germany had no right to interfere.

Being taken advantage of by Xiangjiang businessmen, I felt very unhappy; but I had no choice but to suffer this dumb loss.

Cole thought for a moment and said: "According to the established plan, national credibility is very important; no one should be allowed to underestimate the German nation!"

"I know about the financial difficulties, and I will meet with Bao Zixuan later; some things must be faced, and I hope the other party will not go too far!"

Sorry, I have been busy with exhibitions in the past few days!
