Rebirth 1984: Starting from the development of Hanka

Chapter 201 This is the True Optical Giant!

Lauren Mullen is a speculator who often buys and sells London crude oil futures.

On this day, he read the latest issue of the newspaper, and then couldn't help exclaiming: "I never thought that M would actually do something to Y!!!"

"And, immediately dispatched a fleet to block the opponent's oil outlet!"

"Y is an important oil-producing country in the Gulf region, and its oil and gas resources are very rich. Its underground oil reserves are 430 billion barrels, or about 204 billion tons, accounting for 9.6% of the world's total reserves. The total long-term oil reserves rank second in the world. This war will definitely lead to a sharp drop in Iraq’s oil production, which will lead to a surge in international crude oil prices!!!”

Lauren Mullen was very excited, thinking that this incident would be an opportunity to make a lot of money, he immediately opened the trading software and went long on crude oil futures!
In Lauren Mullen's view, M is a major country in the world, but Y is also a major regional country with strong strength, and it is known as the third most powerful military power in the world.

M going so far away to find Y's troubles will only make Mei fall into the quagmire.

Therefore, Lauren Mullen speculates that the outbreak of the oil crisis will last for a long time.

In fact, this is also the view of most people.

The first to play the third, no matter what, it will take a year or two.

Now, the multinational force headed by M is still dispatching troops, and there are still three or four months before the real action.

International crude oil prices are rising steadily.

By October, the price of crude oil had risen to $10 a barrel.

At this time, Zhao Ye decisively ordered people to sell all crude oil futures worth 120 billion US dollars!

Next, the price of crude oil will basically not rise any more. Once the old US starts to fight, it will be almost destroyed. After only 40 days, the so-called third place in the world will collapse.

Soon, the price of crude oil will drop from $40 a barrel to below $20 a barrel.

At this time, countless hot money from around the world entered the crude oil futures market one after another, and there were countless bidders. In less than a few days, all the crude oil futures held by Wujiang Group were settled.

This transaction alone has allowed Wujiang Group to earn more than 110 billion US dollars!

However, it's not over yet.

Since Zhao Ye knew that the price of crude oil would plummet soon, he naturally wanted to go short.

So, immediately after, Zhao Ye ordered someone to short crude oil futures. Who would have thought that the old American and the old are awesome, and beating the third in the world is as easy as beating a kindergarten kid, and it can be solved in a few strokes.

Many international hot money and investment institutions believe that Laos and the United States will fall into a quagmire and the war will not end in a short time, so crude oil prices have to continue to rise.

Wujiang Group's short-buying order was snapped up by many people.

This time, we still invested 24 billion US dollars, using 5 times leverage, which is 120 billion US dollars, and we must complete the layout in the next two months.

It can be said that once the $120 billion short-selling order is completed, the biggest short-seller in the crude oil futures market will be Wujiang Group.

This wave of contrarian operations may surprise many people.

At 10:3 on October [-], East Germany officially joined West Germany, and Germany became a unified country again!
When many people saw the news, they were slightly surprised.

But for Wujiang Group, it is very important.

In order to help the former East Germany develop its economy and improve the welfare of the East German people, the German authorities announced that the exchange rate between the East German mark and the West German mark became 1:1, and the mark became the legal currency of Germany and was called the Deutsche Mark.

"Notify Tang Yingwu that we will formally initiate an acquisition offer from West Zeiss!!!" Zhao Ye said to Liu Yinyin who was beside him after reading the news about the reunification of Germany and Germany.

"Okay, boss." Liu Yinyin replied in a low voice, and immediately went outside, took out her phone to contact Tang Yingwu.

"Manager Tang, hello, I'm Liu Yinyin, secretary Liu, and the boss ordered me to initiate an acquisition invitation to Xi Caisi immediately!"

"Okay, Secretary Liu, I understand, I'll do it right now!!"

"Ok!"

Liu Yinyin hung up the phone, then walked to Zhao Ye's side and reported to him.

Zhao Ye nodded and continued to concentrate on writing codes on the computer.

Seeing this, Liu Yinyin quietly left the office.

Germany is home to the world-famous optical giants: Leica, Carl Zeiss and Schneider.

After World War II, Zeiss was split into two, and Dong Zeiss was acquired by Wujiang Group first. It is impossible for Germany to take Dong Zeiss back from Wujiang Group.

Moreover, since East Zeiss was acquired by Wujiang Group, it has received a lot of support. Now, East Zeiss is developing better and better, while West Zeiss is on the verge of bankruptcy.

Now that the two Germanys have been unified, the merger of East Zeiss and West Zeiss has become the vision of many people.

The acquisition of West Zeiss by East Zeiss would be the best ending.

Moreover, Zeiss employees have very strong ideas about the merger of the two companies.

Under such circumstances, it is expected that the German government can only agree to this matter.

West Zeiss quickly accepted the acquisition offer, and as long as the price was right, there would be no objection.

Three days later, Tang Yingwu formed a negotiating team with people from East Caisi and started negotiations with West Caisi.

Wujiang Group, the parent company of Eastern Zeiss, has a lot of money, and directly stated that it will wholly acquire Western Zeiss.

The shareholders of West Zeiss actually want to exchange shares.

However, Zhao Ye disagreed.

Zeiss has great development potential and will gain the full support of Wujiang Group in the future to enter into four major business sectors: semiconductor manufacturing technology, industrial quality and research, medical technology and optical consumer goods business, thus achieving remarkable achievements.

On November 11th, Tang Yingwu and others finally negotiated with West Zeiss. East Zeiss acquired West Zeiss for 15 million marks, which was worth more than 8 billion US dollars.This is considered a premium acquisition, otherwise West Zeiss shareholders would not easily sell their shares.

Now all it takes is approval from the German government.

German government.

"Wujiang Group wants to acquire West Zeiss, what do you think?" Roger Bowen looked at other members of parliament and asked.

"I think I still agree. Instead of letting West Zeiss go bankrupt, it is better to sell it to East Zeiss! After all, Zeiss is our German company. Now that East and West Germany are unified, the two Zeiss companies should also be merged together!" Nuo Senator Ya Doyle suggested.

"I disagree. Zeiss is our century-old optics giant in Germany. If we want to sell it, we can only sell it to us Germans!" Someone objected immediately.

Noah Doyle curled his lips and said, "Wujiang Group has acquired Dong Zeiss. What is the meaning of your remarks! As long as Zeiss still has a factory in Germany, as long as the name Zeiss is still there, people will always remember it." Zeiss was created by the Germans!"

Many people could not help but secretly nodded upon hearing this.

Noah Doyle added, "The intention to merge East and West Zeiss is very strong, and ordinary employees are even more excited and look forward to it. If we do not agree to this acquisition, I am afraid it will cause a backlash in public opinion. Now, We have just reunified Germany, but we have explicitly prohibited the merger of East and West Zeiss. Does this mean that we are actually opposed to the reunification of the two countries? If this is misinterpreted by the media, it may cause instability among the people in East Germany.”

As soon as this remark came out, it made sense.

"What Noah Doyle said makes sense. I think East Zeiss can be approved to acquire West Zeiss! In addition, as far as I know, Wujiang Group has a large amount of East German marks. Since the exchange rate changed, the money has appreciated by 4 times, it is now worth at least tens of billions of dollars! I mean, Wujiang Group has so many marks in Germany, why should we offend a company with huge wealth? It would be great if we could persuade Wujiang Group to invest in Germany! !!"

After a pause, Congressman Joshua Cooper smiled and said, "Now, isn't this an opportunity? We can agree to East Zeiss' acquisition of West Zeiss, but Wujiang Group must first ensure that Zeiss' factories in Germany cannot be shut down easily. The second is to ask Wujiang Group to invest all the East German marks worth tens of billions of dollars in Germany! The reunification of the two Germanys, the appreciation of the East German mark currency, Wujiang Group has taken advantage of it, and Wujiang Group should contribute to the economic development of Germany. Contribution, what do you think?"

When everyone heard the words, they all spoke in agreement.

The next morning, the German side expressed its attitude to Tang Yingwu and others.

Tang Yingwu immediately relayed the conditions of the German government to Zhao Ye.

Zhao Ye pondered for a moment, smiled, and said, "Okay, I agree to the other party's request!"

In Zhao Ye's view, this is not a loss, isn't it just investing in Germany, where the German economy is developing strongly and the return on investment is high.

If there is an opportunity, some German companies can also be acquired.

Or set up a research and development center in Germany.

And it can also import talents to China.

……

Tang Yingwu told the German government what Zhao Ye meant the next day.

The German government happily approved the acquisition of West Zeiss by East Zeiss!

At around 3 o'clock in the afternoon, East Zeiss and West Zeiss held a press conference and announced at the press conference that the two companies had officially merged!
As soon as the news was announced, it immediately caused a sensation.

However, most ordinary people rarely come into contact with Zeiss products, and the heat comes and goes quickly.But in the industry, many optical companies have a strong sense of crisis.

At this moment, even Zhao Ye couldn't help feeling excited.The optics giant Carl Zeiss was actually acquired by him, which was almost unbelievable in his previous life.

After the acquisition of West Zeiss, Zhao Ye found that it was really worth it. West Zeiss has a large number of technical talents and advanced technology patents, which can complement East Zeiss. This is no longer 1+1=2, but far more than 2.

Zeiss in the previous life was able to quickly return to the top in the 20s, which is undoubtedly the result of the merger of East and West Zeiss.

Zhao Ye immediately began to write on the computer the future development direction of Zeiss. With the help of Zeiss' technological advantages and following the development path of his previous life, he expected that the probability of success would be very high. These are the four major business sectors of Zeiss: semiconductor manufacturing technology, industrial Quality and Research, Medical Technology and Consumer Optics businesses.

However, Zhao Ye also added some new business segments to Zeiss: one is optical fiber and the other is special glass.

Special glass is not only touch screen glass, but also a lot of glass with special purposes.

Schott Glass, a subsidiary of Zeiss, is an expert in this area, even stronger than the technology of Corning Corporation of the United States.

PS: There will be another chapter at 12 o'clock in the evening. I am afraid that this chapter will be harmonized, so I will upload it first, and I will not write a chapter in it.
