Soviet Godfather

When Sergey was standing on the side of the iron curtain and looking towards the Federal Republic of Germany across the wall, his mind was always tumbling with various images about Volkswagen. As a supporter of German cars, Sergey was In any case, we will not let go of the future giant of Volkswagen.

Although Sergei Sha's body is imprisoned in the east of the Iron Curtain, his capital can travel freely between the two camps of the East and the West. According to Blackstone's investigation of the current Volkswagen Group, most of the company's shares are still in the hands of the Federal German government. In addition, the Porsche family also has a lot of shares in the Volkswagen Group.

Sergei asked Blackstone to ask the West German government whether it intended to sell this world-renowned automobile industry group, but Blackstone hit a cold nail. The West German government does not want this jewel of German industry to fall into the hands of foreign capital.

Sergei is really eager to see Volkswagen now. The company is not as large as the later generations at this moment. The products on hand are pitiful. The best-selling model, the Beetle, is now on the American market. The newly developed Golf It enjoys a high reputation only in Europe. It can be said that no matter how you look at it, the company is still going downhill at this moment, but Sergei believes that now is a good time to start.

The current global automobile industry is still divided by the iron curtain. This side of the Iron Curtain is the self-entertainment of the socialist countries. On the other side of the Iron Curtain, cheap cars from Japan are constantly eroding the consumer market of European and American cars. But Seryosha knew that once the Iron Curtain was broken, the original socialist camp would become a dumping ground for Europe. They would annex part of the industrial capacity that originally belonged to the socialist camp to supplement production capacity, while Eastern Europe originally belonged to Volga. The market for brands such as Lada will also be dominated by Western European car brands.

Sergei knows that no matter how much he saves the Gorky car factory, he will not be able to stop this wave of annexation. Therefore, Xie Liaosha felt that it would be better to follow the trend and first control the high-performance stock of Volkswagen, and then complete his integration of the socialist auto industry through Volkswagen.

The unfriendly attitude of the West German government irritated Sergei Sha, but this did not stop Sergei Sha's ambition to buy Volkswagen. Soon the well-known leveraged buyout company kkr in the United States received a secret commission from the Bank of Colombia, hoping With Kkr, the Bank of Colombia paid money to attack the Volkswagen Group. So a conspiracy against Volkswagen in the hands of the German government began to gradually unfold.

Under the remote command of Sergei Sha, Kkr first took a shot on the German stock market, and they slowly began to absorb Volkswagen stock from the market. Peterson of Blackstone left for the Federal Republic of Germany to start a dialogue with the major East and West German governments of the Volkswagen Group and the Porsche family, and discuss with them the issue of Volkswagen's equity.

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

"Is there something urgent? My inspection in East Germany is not over yet!" Xie Liao Sha said casually.

"This Yeltsin and Ligachev are getting more and more outrageous recently. He actually moved to the unfinished building in the Workers’ Village! The general secretary asks you to come back and persuade Yeltsin to stop fighting. Central!" Yakovlev said anxiously.

"I'm not good to come forward with this kind of thing. I'm just a deputy ministerial official. How can I reconcile the conflicts between the two Politburo members! By the way, I would like to ask you a question. You said if there is a foreign country If the company wants to invest in us, is it allowed from a policy point of view?" Sergei deliberately changed the subject.

"Sergey Sha, your pace is a bit big! But I can tell you that this matter is still inconclusive, and it may need to be discussed at the Central Committee. By the way, which company is so interested in us. ?" Yakovlev asked curiously.

"It’s not that people are interested in us, but I’m interested in them! Don’t you know, our Lada has been in production for many years, but it is still the same. In Western Europe, people’s cars are different every year, just say Volga’s steering assist. A few years ago, it was only available in luxury cars in Western Europe, but now even many low-end cars use this technology. In addition, there are car air conditioners. The car air conditioners on Lada were originally A selling point, but almost all cars this year have car air conditioners as standard equipment. If things go on like this, our market will only get smaller and smaller..." Sergey Sha Combo thinks these days~www.readwn.com ~ As well as a summary of some issues, I began to discuss the issues of the automobile industry with Yakovlev.

"Since you have such an idea, Selesha, it is better to put it forward in this year's Central Committee. Maybe we can discuss it..." Yakovlev wanted to end this topic quickly. He just wanted Selesha to come back quickly and let Yeltsin, a mad dog, stopped his attack on Ligachev. Although Yakovlev had great opinions on Ligachev, Yakovlev was Gorbachev's confidant, and he knew the real reason for Ligachev's support.

Although Gorbachev has been advocating openness and reforming the political system of the Soviet Union. However, the failure or inadequate implementation of the following departments greatly reduced the effect of Gorbachev's reform. Therefore, it is imperative for Gorbachev to regain the power of ministries and commissions. However, this plan caused even greater troubles because the political chaos brought about by the reforms seriously affected the lives of front-line workers, and the supply of various living materials made those workers dissatisfied. Even to the brink of strike.

Sergei felt very funny in his heart. On the one hand, Gorbachev tried his best to weaken his power; on the other hand, he wanted to convince Yeltsin that there is no such good thing in the world. When Stalin was alive a few decades ago, no one dared to stand up and strike out even in the post-war famine, but Gorbachev refused to work because of a few bars of soap.

Sergey and Yakovlev talked for a full hour, and finally did not finalize the time to return to China, but Sergey knew that he could not drag on here for long.

"Perhaps before I go back, I have to make this fire in Poland burn more vigorously!" Sergei planned secretly in his heart.
