Less than a month after the US ban on sales was promulgated, the German side could no longer hold it. They took the initiative to stand up and began lobbying the government to cancel the "Volkswagen Company Protection Act." At the same time, the German Federal Supreme Court came forward to mediate conflicts between foreign investors and the Saxony state government. The power of the US market embargo is unbearable for any company. The public hopes that relying on their own proactive performance, they can get an opportunity to re-behave in the US market.

Therefore, under the unanimous opposition of the United States and major Western European countries, the "Volkswagen Company Protection Act," which has been promulgated for more than ten years, will finally be thrown into the trash can of history. The biggest obstacle in front of investors has been removed, and Kalim and Tonya can finally work together to do what they want to do.

The various financial teams under Gorky began to constantly cannibalize the shares of Volkswagen on the public market. Blackstone, Bank of Colombia, and Mediterranean Shipping Company all bought the shares of Volkswagen Group through their financial platforms, so Volkswagen’s board of directors appeared one after another. Some foreigners. However, so far, the supervisory authority of the Frankfurt market only knows that Blackstone has an equity relationship with Bank of Colombia. It is not clear about the relationship between Mediterranean Shipping and them. Now within the board of directors, the Saxony state government holds 30% of the shares. Still ranked as the largest shareholder, Kalim and Bank of Colombia took 27%, while Mediterranean Shipping holds 23%. Although the controlling stake has just exceeded half, Kalim and Tonya have already obtained the biggest say in the company. Volkswagen’s equity battle is now temporarily over. In the future, Gorky financial platforms will choose to increase their holdings, but this is not important when the overall situation is set.

Since receiving a letter from Sir Dennis, Sergey has been paying attention to the case of Matthias Rust. Under Sergey's secret operation, the case was taken from the hands of the KGB and the Ministry of Defense. Allocated to the judicial department. This means that Matthias Rust will not be prosecuted for espionage or other serious crimes that endanger the security of the Soviet Union. Because the trials of these crimes are generally not open to the public, and they are all conducted in secret in military courts.

After all, Selesha studied in the law department of Leningrad University. He estimated that the Moscow prosecutors would prosecute Matthias Rust for illegally crossing the border. Given Matthias Rust’s status as a minor, The judge should not make a heavy sentence. In short, Sergey Sha could explain this matter to Dennis, so after communicating with Yakovlev, Sergey sent a reply letter to Dennis through a private channel. In the letter, Sergey Shah asked Sir Dennis to tell the Federal Chancellor of Germany, Mr. Kohl, that the Soviet Union wanted to negotiate with the other party on the debt issue. When these two things are put on a single letter, the information contained therein is self-explanatory.

Now Matthias Rust is so famous all over the world. Now that someone from the Soviet Union has thrown an olive branch, then the German side will naturally continue to anger the Soviet Union and let them take this bear. If the child is killed, then Cole's cabinet must be ousted by the opposition. So the Federal Republic of Germany happily agreed to the request of the Soviet Union.

So Sergei took the opportunity of the German side to issue an invitation, but also to avoid domestic political disputes, and then left Moscow for the opportunity of this debt negotiation and went to Bonn, the capital of the Federal Republic of Germany. When the Soviet foreign economic and trade delegation led by Sergei arrived in Bonn, Prime Minister Kohl personally went to the airport to welcome Sergey's arrival. After a brief exchange between the two, the delegation boarded the bus to the Bonn City Hall to attend the welcome event there.

This is the first time Sergei has set foot on the land of the Federal Republic of Germany. He has set two goals for his trip. The first is to convert the Soviet Union’s foreign debt into an energy contract. The Soviet Union can use its rich mineral resources. Resources are slowly repaying this foreign debt, and the second is to negotiate a plan to cooperate and build an automobile factory. Now the Soviet Union has opened up some areas to the private economy and foreign investment. Before that, only red capitalists like Xiang Hamer could do business in the Soviet Union. However, these two goals are actually more important to Sergei Shah. The debt negotiation was handed over to Gaidar, chief economist and governor of the Foreign Trade Bank.

So in accordance with Sergei Sha’s request, the Federal Government of Germany arranged a series of inspection activities for him. The first to bear the brunt was the most developed automobile industry in the Federal Republic of Germany. Sergei Shah started his journey in the German automobile industry under the arrangement of the German side. Xie Liaosha visited automobile manufacturing companies of high-end brands such as Porsche and Mercedes-Benz to learn about their advanced experience in management and technology. At the same time, he also inspected the developed German car leasing and auto finance lending institutions. Sergei intends to allow the Foreign Trade Bank to get involved in the automobile and consumer loan business to promote the personal consumption market in the Soviet Union.

While visiting the Volkswagen car manufacturing plant ~www.readwn.com~Volkswagen Vice President Piech personally accompanied Sergei to visit Audi's car production line. The reason why I visited Audi is that this brand is very close to Gorky's Volga brand in the market positioning. Both models are mainly aimed at the business market and are positioned for middle-income earners. At the end of the tour, Sergei asked the escorts of Volkswagen: "Are you willing to cooperate with the Gorky Field Plant to establish a joint venture to produce our Volga and your Audi together?"

Sergey said this, and the executives of Volkswagen Company present did not know how to answer this question. For them, if they enter the Soviet market as if they were in China, Volkswagen would certainly be happy to see the results. The Soviet Union not only has a vast territory and a large population, but the purchasing power of the people is generally higher than that of China today. But this is a company on both sides of the Iron Curtain! Is it really so easy to cooperate?

"Mr. Minister, of course we are willing to cooperate with the returnees! But we still don't know the situation in your country very well, and the time seems to be premature. Maybe we can wait a few years to discuss this issue." The executives of Volkswagen declined. Tao.

"Is there any difficulty? Our Secretary Gorbachev welcomes foreign companies to invest in the Soviet Union. If you really encounter any difficulties, you can directly contact me and I will help you solve it! I know, this one You have to listen to the government. It’s okay. I will discuss this with Prime Minister Cole in person..."
