In the evening, the Prime Minister's Office held a grand party.

Many West German heavyweights came from all over the country, including high-ranking political officials, business tycoons, and conglomerate leaders.

What Boss Yang didn't expect was that there were many differences between the Germany he had imagined in the past and what he actually saw.

After being introduced by his father-in-law, Yang Chen truly realized the difference between Germany and other countries.

When it comes to consortium power, in Yang Chen's impression, South Korea is undoubtedly the number one in the world.

Not only do they control the national economy, they can also control the life and death of leaders. As we all know, almost every South Korean leader will be imprisoned under various pretexts after he steps down. The risk rate is the highest in the world.

In addition, there are island countries. The power of island country financial groups has been around for a long time and cannot be underestimated.

However, when it comes to monopoly, the Korean consortium and the island nation consortium are not as good as the German consortium.

Although Germany is a relatively new capitalist country, monopoly capital appeared earlier and the degree of monopoly is relatively high.

World War I and World War II, the two world wars, allowed German monopoly capital to continue to develop and expand. During the war, only big capital and big consortiums could concentrate their efforts on big things.

Just like inland after the reform and opening up, state-owned enterprises dominate economic development, and state-owned enterprises guide economic development and control the lifeline of the country's economy.

In both worlds, Germany's economic lifeline was almost monopolized by the country's conglomerates.

Monopoly capital groups such as Thyssen, Flick, Siemens, Krupp, Mannesmann, and the three major banks (i.e., Deutsche Bank, Dresdner Bank and Commerzbank) have long dominated and controlled the development and dominance of the German economy.

.

In Germany, there are two major types of consortia, one is a consortium centered on large banks, and the other is a consortium centered on industrial monopolies.

The former includes the Deutsche Bank Group, the Dresdner Bank Group and the Commerzbank Group, while the latter includes the Thyssen Group, the IG Farben Group, the Flick Group, etc.

The Siemens family belongs to the former and is a core member of the Deutsche Bank consortium. During World War I, monopoly organizations such as Krupp, Siemens, Damler, and Stinner became the biggest beneficiaries of the war.

After World War II, Germany's large monopoly groups were supposed to be disbanded. However, due to the obstruction of Western countries led by the United States, the German monopoly conglomerates did not disband, but remained.

Yang Chen didn't pay too much attention to these conglomerate forces in Germany. Nowadays, Germany has not yet been unified. Even if it is unified, the power of the German consortium may not be inferior to the power of the island country's consortium.

Although the power of the island nation's consortium cannot be said to be a single one that controls the economic lifeline of the entire country, the capital strength of the island nation's consortium is undoubtedly much stronger than that of the German consortium.

Nowadays, with the strength of Yang's consortium, even the major consortiums in island countries are unwilling to turn against each other, let alone consortiums like Germany.

To put it bluntly, the reason why Germany gives people a very awesome impression mainly comes from the fact that Germany started two world wars, rose twice, prospered twice, fell into despair twice, and then rose again.

To be honest, no country in the world can do this. Once many countries weaken, they basically cannot get up.

Just like the United Kingdom, once an empire on which the sun never sets, after World War I and World War II, its international status and economic and military strength plummeted. Now, let alone dominating the world, even on the European continent, it cannot be a dominant power.

And Germany, after two world wars and being beaten by the world, was able to recover and occupy a great initiative in Europe. I have to say that this country is really powerful.

Of course, this premise is after the reunification of Germany.

Now, although West Germany's economic strength has been restored, its international status is still relatively low. The entire national security is still in the hands of the United States, Britain and France, and it can only continue to grow insignificantly.

A party, on the surface, the guests and hosts are enjoying themselves.

In fact, neither party was very satisfied.

Yang Chen did not make any promises, and the German consortium did not show the greatest sincerity.

Germany is about to be reunified. If you don't know the inside story, you may think that this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

After all, national reunification is a good thing for any country. Both its international status and economy will increase significantly.

However, Yang Chen knew very well that the reunification of Germany was a pit that could not be pitted again. After the reunification of Germany, apart from the improvement of its international status, it did not get any other benefits.

The reunification of Germany is like two brothers who have separated, one is poor and the other is rich. If the two brothers reunite and they can be together, do the poor brothers need to divide the rich brother's property?

For West Germany, apart from having an extra brother in the family, he got nothing else, but instead gained an extra bastard.

Entering Germany now is a thankless task and you won't get much advantage. The best time to enter will be after Germany is reunified.

In fact, for a monopoly market like Germany, economic crisis is what the country's financial groups want to see most, and the reason why those German financial groups are enthusiastic about him is simply because he is rich.

However, after decades of development in West Germany, all the resources and industries that should be divided internally have been divided up, leaving only some soup and water. For Boss Yang, who is accustomed to eating meat, if he can pick up the leftovers left by others,

Down.

Of course, you can also be taken advantage of, pick up the meat that others deliberately threw on the ground, and beat it as a sacrifice.

However, Boss Yang, whose appetite has been cultivated for a long time, will not accept those scraps at all. Now he only needs to wait until the reunification of East and West Germany, then he can take advantage of the opportunity to acquire some high-quality industries in East Germany.

As for whether there is a chance, he really doesn't have to worry about it, because not only does he want to eat this fat piece of meat in Germany, but others also want to eat it.

For example, American capital, French capital, British capital, etc., Germany started two world wars before, and the bloody lessons will not be forgotten so quickly.

Economic control is far more effective than military control. With so many forces concerned about this piece of meat, the German conglomerate's power is hard to defeat with only four fists. When the time comes, it will be easy for them to pick up a piece of fat meat and taste it.

What's more, he also has the internal support of the Siemens family. As a core member of the Deutsche Bank consortium, the Siemens family is no joke.

Regardless of whether the Siemens family is willing or not, the Siemens family did not express any objection when Alyssa was with Boss Yang. Now the son-in-law has come to discuss marriage. In the eyes of outsiders, the Siemens family has been closely linked with the Yang consortium.

.

In recent years, the Siemens family and the Yang Group have cooperated more and more frequently. Once interrupted, both companies will suffer huge losses.

Therefore, as long as Boss Yang talks about something, the Siemens family must fully support it even if it is unwilling.
