No one knows why Wujiang Group would exchange large amounts of US dollars for East German marks.
The East German government was very pleased and adopted an exceptionally friendly attitude towards the Wujiang Group.
This not only makes it easier for Wujiang Group to poach talent from East Germany, but it can also be considered an unexpected bonus.
...
"Wujiang Group wants to enter the East German market and wants to recruit some East German talent. We hope the East German government can provide support!"
Wujiang East Germany Branch, Conference Room.
Wang Lei addressed the East German officials and bank president who had arrived.
“No problem at all!!!” Justin Patton, the leading East German official, nodded and laughed.
What is this request compared to getting US dollars from the Wujiang Group?
"Furthermore, as we all know, the East German mark has been depreciating, so we need to get a higher exchange rate than the official rate!" Wang Lei added.
Justin Barton thought for a moment and nodded again: "Okay, how many US dollars can Wujiang Group provide, and how much higher the exchange rate needs to be?"
"One billion US dollars!!!"
Wang Lei said, "The exchange rate is at least 50% higher."
Justin Patton and the others were shocked to hear this. In their previous lives, China only had a few billion dollars in foreign exchange reserves at this time, and East Germany wasn't much stronger either.
$1 billion was undoubtedly a huge sum for East Germany.
Justin Barton and the others were overjoyed, their faces beaming with excitement.
Regarding Wujiang Group's demands, the East German side stated that they could meet all of them!
Soon, on the same day, Wujiang Group reached an agreement with the East German government and exchanged 1.5 billion US dollars (10+5) of East German marks from East German banks!
This news caused a great sensation in Europe and sparked intense discussions.
However, Wujiang Group has not offered any explanation for this.
After obtaining permission from East Germany, Wujiang Group began poaching engineers and scientists from East Germany.
Although these people were not starving, their lives were not very good.
Half a month later, under the onslaught of money, many outstanding talents were willing to join Wujiang Group, and some were even willing to go directly to China to work and live.
Many of them are skilled in materials research, electronics, and precision machining technology...
It should be noted that although East Germany's economy was far worse than West Germany's, its technology was not necessarily inferior to West Germany's.
The influx of these talents into China will play an unparalleled role, thereby promoting China's development in the field of industrial technology.
...
...
"The East German market is open to Wujiang Group, so we should take this opportunity to fully open up the East German market and make Chinese products sell well in East Germany."
During the meeting, Zhao Ye stood on the stage and gave instructions.
Wujiang Group could engage in foreign trade, selling surplus Chinese goods to East Germany and earning East German marks.
Others might not know the value of the East German mark, but Zhao Ye did.
By opening up the East German market and earning marks openly and legitimately, even the future German government would have no grounds for complaint and could not criticize Wujiang Group.
Wujiang Group can make money while also helping domestic companies sell their products. Why not?
At this time, many state-owned enterprises in China were still on the verge of bankruptcy, just like in the previous life. If they could open up the East German market, it would certainly be possible for some state-owned enterprises to turn around their losses.
In fact, Wujiang Group's trade in the Soviet Union greatly benefited many domestic enterprises.
Upon hearing this, everyone nodded in agreement.
"The boss is right. East Germany has a population of over 16 million, which is a huge market!"
"The boss is brilliant! Wujiang Group will soon be making a fortune in East Germany!"
"..."
Zhao Ye smiled faintly, thinking to himself that this move was definitely worthwhile. By taking advantage of the currency exchange opportunity, he could completely open up the East German market and make a fortune just from normal trade.
Moreover, with the reunification of Germany, the East German mark immediately appreciated several times over, and Wujiang Group will surely make a fortune, which is the envy of many.
...
...
Meanwhile, Shen Zeyu and his group's negotiations were still not going smoothly. At this point, it wasn't just a matter of the price of high-end CNC machine tools...
The United States had already received news that Wujiang Group wanted to purchase a large number of high-end CNC machine tools, and immediately issued a warning to the German machine tool companies, prohibiting them from selling high-end CNC machine tools to Wujiang Group on a large scale.
Although the US and China are currently in a honeymoon period, the US does not want China to develop too quickly or become too powerful; it only wants China to be able to contain the Soviet Union.
Therefore, the US will at most allow Wujiang Group to purchase four high-end data machine tools.
Shen Zeyu and the others were quite helpless.
"President Shen, we are powerless to change the current situation. We should report the situation to the boss first!" a team member said.
Shen Zeyu sighed and nodded, saying, "That's the only way!"
Then he picked up the phone.
Not long after, the call was connected, and Shen Zeyu immediately reported the situation to Zhao Ye.
Upon hearing this, Zhao Ye remained silent for a moment before finally speaking, "Four machines it is. Let's just buy four five-axis CNC machining centers!"
Machining centers are more advanced than ordinary high-end CNC machine tools, and of course, they are also more expensive.
“Yes, boss!” Shen Zeyu replied in a deep voice.
In the following period, to avoid further complications, he ordered the negotiation team to expedite negotiations with the German machine tool giants.
In less than a month, we successively reached cooperation agreements with four machine tool companies: Trumpf, DMG Mori, Mag, and Haas Automation, and purchased one five-axis CNC machining center from each of them.
