The hotel's balcony was Li He's favorite. The view was excellent, and he could overlook the entire city. Hugging a teacup, he could relax for the whole day.
Looking at the chimneys and factories in the distance, and the occasional semi-trailer truck on the road, it reminded Li He that this was an industrialized country.
In the minds of the older generation, the Czech Republic's specialty was heavy industry. After the founding of the People's Republic, all the machine tools, machine guns, cranes, and trucks, almost all came from the Czech Republic, a small landlocked country lacking in lakes and sea.
The Czech election was in full swing. 23 political parties and alliances proposed more than 3,500 candidates, and campaign slogans were posted all over the country.
The entrance of the hotel where Li He was staying was plastered with Czech campaign slogans.
Tie Muer said, "Havel will definitely win."
"How do you know?" Li He didn't expect this young man to have such foresight. He thought only he, who was reborn, had such foresight.
Tie Muer said, "He has the support of the Americans, and the Americans are optimistic about him. Sir, as you can see, the Westerners have the final say here. At the same time, he is Czech, and the Czechs are the majority of the Federation. They will vote for him. The Czechs and Slovaks have conflicts, and the Czechs will not elect a Slovak as their president. Similarly, the Slovaks will not elect a Czech as the president of the Federation. The Moravians are also unwilling. They all want independence, but their population is small, and they don't have any say. They won't have any chance. "
"So Havel will definitely win?" Li He asked.
Tie Muer nodded. "The best result would be to elect a Czech president and a Slovak prime minister."
"You studied politics?" Li He finally began to look at this young man. He didn't expect his logic and thinking to be so clear. If history did not change, the result of this election would indeed be like this: the Czech Havel would become the president, and the Slovak would become the prime minister.
"I studied sociology at Belgorod State University." Tie Muer saw that Li He was confused and spelled out, "B, e, l, gorod.
It is one of the oldest universities in Russia. " “
Li He smiled and patted him on the shoulder. "You are a man with a bright future."
"Thank you, Mr. Li."
Li He walked around Cha Li Bridge from the beginning to the end. There were many tourists. Most of them were from Europe and America. He also saw some Asian faces, but they were definitely not from China.
From the brand of the camera hanging on their chests, he could easily tell whether they were Korean or Japanese.
These people were shouting and yelling loudly. They were gesticulating in front of the painting stall, asking the painters to paint according to their requirements. At the handicrafts stall, he would choose one thing and buy another. Upon closer inspection, he would see that he was carrying four or five leather bags in his hands. The leather products here were world-famous.
Li He was quite envious of the nouveau riche aura. At the very least, the Chinese were still a distance away from such days.
Bite me if I have money!
The confidence of a country is first and foremost confidence in consumption.
He couldn't tell if the statues on both sides of the bridge were good or bad, but they had a bronze luster to them.
Tie Haofu said, "These are all imitations."
"Replica?"
Ironwood Ear said, "The real thing might be in a museum, or it might have been lost during the war. You know, this place was once ruled by the Austro-Hungarian Empire. The Soviets and Germans have also been here. "
Pan Youlin was much busier than Li He, although Li He asked him to rest. However, he did not rest. On the second day, he started to use his British identity to visit local foreign trade companies, consulting companies, and multinational corporations.
His identity was public, so it was much more convenient for him to handle many things than Li He.
He opened an account in the most famous bank in Prague, hired the most famous lawyers in the city as a consultant, and also hired the corresponding professional external consultants, including but not limited to investment banks, accounting firms, law firms, technical services companies, human resources consultants, public relations companies, intelligence companies, etc.
He even hired two translation companies to solve all the communication problems. These translators were all stationed in the hotel according to the requirements.
Although he and Shen Daoru were classmates in England, he was much more capable than Shen Daoru. This was something that Li He admired. Li He did not care about the nepotism of his classmates. Among the entrepreneurial partners in Silicon Valley, nine out of ten had nepotism. If they were not classmates, colleagues, fellow townsmen, or roommates.
When Yuan Ming heard that Li He wanted to buy the Smila factory, he was even more excited than Li He.
Li He wanted to go to Brno to participate in the bidding. The five people in the delegation, led by Yuan Ming, followed him, and even Ambassador Xu from the embassy was dragged along.
Therefore, the convoy to Brno became bigger. There were a total of five cars and 17 people on this trip.
Before they arrived, they saw a row of cars in front of the factory from afar. It seemed that a lot of people had come.
The security guard at the door was not surprised to see the yellow Chinese people get out of the cars and let them in.
As soon as they entered, Jarni led them to the so-called auction site and handed a few documents to Li He. "I can only help you get the bidding qualification. As for whether you can succeed in the end, I can't control it. There are Americans, Germans, Japanese, and Koreans here. God knows who will succeed in the end. You know, sir, you can't let me work for nothing. "
"The fifty thousand dollars is the cost of your hard work. If you succeed, I will give you more." Li He knew very well that this guy didn't want to return the fifty thousand dollars that he got. Li He didn't plan to ask for it either.
There were more than a hundred people sitting in the hall, and at least a dozen of them were from international companies. It seemed that they were all here because of the smell. It was impossible for such a world-famous forging and stamping enterprise to change hands without a sound.
When Li He and his dozen people came in, they attracted the attention of the people in the venue.
The translator arranged by Pan Youlin came back and said, "The valuation and approval procedures were all completed in one day. Whoever pays the most wins the bid."
"That's really simple." Li He was happy. Even if he was a layman, he knew that a merger or acquisition would go through at least two or three rounds of bidding. It would take at least one or two months. But the auction here was simple. There was no preliminary contact, confidentiality agreement, or framework agreement. There was only one rule. Whoever paid the most would win.
Li He liked this kind of simple and crude thing!
He now had close to 70 billion dollars in his hands and was looking for a place to spend it!
This did not include the real estate and foreign stocks under his name!
If he calculated it all, including the future appreciation, it would be an astronomical figure!
Yuan Ming and the others had already toured the production workshop. When they came back, they naturally praised it.
He knew Smira better than Li He. He said, "Smira factory is one of the world's leading manufacturers in the development of pneumatic hydraulic hammers. I heard that they have successfully applied it to the semi-automatic forging production line of the double-headed manipulator. How did they go bankrupt?"
Ambassador Xu said, "The reason is complicated. To put it simply, tSt is a Soviet company. Before they left, they naturally wanted to get rid of it. They did not want the Czech government to benefit."
After everyone sat down, the auctioneer handed out thick promotional materials to each bidder, hoping to get a good price.
