Reborn Capital Madman

After leaving Morgan Grenfell, Gao Xian asked Newbijian to pay attention to the latest developments of Christopher Reeves and his gang. As for the reply, he would wait until he returned to Xiangjiang to consider it.

The debt of gratitude brought about by the international gossip about "James Bond's assassination of Chinese financial leaders" in the UK was almost done, so Gao Xian no longer delayed and left for Frankfurt. A considerable number of team members had already arrived there in advance to make preparations.

After he arrived at work, he quickly got down to business and met with the West German Central Bank, the President of the Deutsche Bundesbank, Karl Bohr, the Vice President Helmut Schlesinger, and the Deutsche Bundesbank.

Other members of the Board of Directors.

This time when we visited the terminal of the Deutsche Bundesbank in Frankfurt, Gao Xian's attitude was quite upright.

After all, since the collapse of the Bretton Woods system in the 1970s, inflation has been rampant in European capitalist countries, and the Deutsche Bundesbank, as the central bank of West Germany, has performed well in monetary policy and has controlled it well.

Inflation, and according to the current trend, will continue to thrive.

Internally, the hard-earned money in the hands of ordinary people is not enough; externally, other countries are convinced by the Deutsche Bundesbank's composure, and the respect it has gained from it makes it possible for it to become the "alliance leader" of Europe in the future. It is not an exaggeration to describe it as a matter of course.

You must know that the Deutsche Bundesbank's achievements in controlling inflation are rare, because it cannot compare with the Federal Reserve. The Fed has the hegemony of the US dollar and can simply and crudely transmit the pressure and let people around the world pay the bill.

This kind of skill in moving around in the cracks is exactly what Gao Xian needs to observe and learn from.

After some face-to-face contact, Gao Xian roughly understood the German attitude towards the implementation of the Hong Kong dollar-linked international currency exchange rate system in Hong Kong. That is, there is a "sample" for observation, which is very good!

Such a reaction is reasonable. Because in 1979, the European Economic Community began to implement the European Monetary System, and concepts such as the European Exchange Rate Mechanism, the European Monetary Unit, etc. emerged.

The European Monetary System is similar to the Bretton Woods System, with the West German Mark and the Deutsche Bundesbank playing the roles of the US dollar and the Federal Reserve respectively, becoming the de facto "anchors" for the currencies of the members of the European Economic Community.

In this case, the stability of the West German Mark, in addition to relying on the strength of West Germany to become one of the world's leaders in emerging markets, is also indispensable for the Deutsche Bundesbank's skills in how to manage its own foreign exchange reserves.

Previously, Gao Xian visited the central banks of Japan, the United States, and the United Kingdom, each with its own unique results. This time he came to West Germany, it was no exception. He hoped that in addition to reaching a currency swap agreement for the Hong Kong dollar West German mark,

It can also carry out talent exchanges and allow your own people to come over for further study.

This proposal played right into the hands of the Germans, who almost said what they were thinking when they wanted to observe closely, Xiangjiang, a "sample" under Sir Gao's profound influence.

I don’t know whether intentionally or unintentionally, various channels have put labels such as “rigid” and “rigorous” on Germans, but they may not really be rigid, at least in the conversation with Helmut Schlesinger

, then cleverly made insinuations. Sir Gao and Mrs. Thatcher had a close personal relationship. Based on your understanding of Mrs. Thatcher, what are her true thoughts on the European monetary system?

Upon hearing this, Gao Xian couldn't help but laugh, because he naturally thought of Soros's successful attack on the pound in the early 1990s in the "old script", which eventually led to the UK using this as an excuse to withdraw from the European exchange rate.

As for the mechanism, I don’t know whether the UK is really forced to do so or is trying to get off the hook.

Even further, the attack on the pound by Soros and other international hot money is just a pure speculation, or is it backed by some political conspiracy.

"As an island country, it is natural that it cannot avoid the mentality of an island country. It prefers to move forward, attack, retreat and defend, outside of large unified systems such as the European Union, the European Federation, etc." Gao Xian did not avoid this topic. Anyway, such words are popular among people.

The French have also said this.

At present, the British political arena still enjoys many benefits brought by European economic integration. However, it is worried that European economic integration, especially the European Exchange Rate Mechanism, will eventually evolve into a force for European political integration. It really cannot be ignored. The "old script"

In the next century, the United Kingdom will really break up with the European Union, which is the best evidence.

As the most authentic conservative, Mrs. Thatcher did not need to be too explicit about her true inner thoughts.

Helmut Schlesinger also laughed after hearing the interesting statement of "island mentality". Britain and the great powers of the European continent have been torn apart for hundreds of years. How could they sincerely obey the Germans on the basis of economic development?

the grand plan to unify Europe.

…

In the process of dealing with these financial elites in West Germany, Gao Xian met a star figure, that is, Alfred Herrhau, an adviser to West German Prime Minister Helmut Kohl and a member of the Management Committee of Deutsche Bank.

Sen.

To be precise, Alfred Herrhausen took the initiative to find Gao Xian and uncovered a mystery. Morgan Grenfell invited Gao Xian to become a strategic partner, which started with his proposal.

At the beginning, Morgan Grenfell and Deutsche Bank discussed strategic cooperation between the two parties. However, Alfred Herrhausen believed that this level of international business expansion was not enough. There is also a huge market space in Asia. The international financial center of Xiangjiang

Gao Yi, a local snake, is a strategic partner worthy of being introduced.

In this matter, Morgan Grenfell, which is headquartered in London, must have been relatively easy to contact and test. However, Sir Gao's reaction to Morgan Grenfell seemed a bit "cold".

After Gao Xian suddenly realized this, his doubts about the strategic cooperation that Morgan Grenfell wanted to bring Gaoyi to discuss were basically eliminated. Indeed, Deutsche Bank is quite active in international expansion. For example, in Hong Kong, the Hong Kong government has reopened

After the bank license was approved, we obtained a local bank license in Hong Kong.

In fact, Deutsche Bank during this period was also facing the choice of transformation, and Alfred Herrhausen was an activist in this direction.

Deutsche Bank still has many special features. After the end of World War II, the United States naturally dispersed the spoils of Deutsche Bank in order to divide and conquer; however, West Germany was the front line of the Cold War. In order to strengthen West Germany's

Strength, plus the fact that the Germans are indeed capable, so the small banks that were separated were re-merged to form the current Deutsche Bank.

This kind of division and merger has definitely affected all aspects of Deutsche Bank, including its management structure and business expertise. The strategic cooperation with Morgan Grenfell can help it strengthen its investment banking business development.

Compared to Morgan Grenfell's reaction of "go back and think about it", Sir Gao's attitude this time is obviously more positive. We can discuss this matter.
