What surprises these depositors who come here to do business is that the annual interest rate of Melo Bank's five-year time deposit is really the legendary 6.6%, which means that if you deposit 1 rubles, you can get back 1.33% after five years. Ten thousand rubles…

Not only that, all fixed deposits over 1 rubles will receive gifts and shopping vouchers of varying values ​​every year!

Standing at the window on the second floor, Aiden looked at the long queue at the door of the bank with a proud smile on his lips.

Aiden, who was originally just the investment manager of the Austin head office, was the first to sign up after receiving the news. After many rounds of screening, he got the position of CEO of Merlo Bank's first overseas branch.

After arriving in St. Petersburg, Aiden felt glad that he had come to the right place. Money helped him get acquainted with the rich and powerful, which was his strength. In less than a month, he successfully entered the circle of the upper class. Who doesn't like to have someone with him? What about a banker friend?

Navy Club on the Neva River.

The cocktail reception for the opening ceremony of the St. Petersburg branch of Merlo Bank seemed to have become a high-society party.

Deputy Mayor in charge of industry Ignatoli and Supervisor of St. Petersburg Investment Bank Orbsky were undoubtedly the focus of the audience, and half of the people gathered around them to show their hospitality.

Konya, the popular host of St. Petersburg TV, stole the spotlight from almost all the women in the audience from the moment he appeared on the scene. There were even fewer people surrounding the deputy mayor and banker to show their attentiveness.

With deep sapphire eyes, delicate facial features and silky blond hair, a curvy figure and long legs that are 1 meters tall, every piece of skin on the body is enjoying the love of the Creator. Her body shape, speech, and behavior are all worthy of the title of "St. Petersburg's No. 75 Queen."

With the arrival of Navy Captain Sergei Konev, the reception gradually reached its climax...

Like a butterfly, Aiden shuttles among the "upper class" groups composed of socialites and powerful people.

"Your Excellency, Mayor, I heard that you are presiding over the privatization reform of state-owned assets in the St. Petersburg Industrial Zone?" Aiden came to Anatoli with a wine glass and said with a smile.

"Mr. Aiden, your plan is very well-informed! The government has this plan. After the joint-stock reform of state-owned enterprises, every St. Petersburg citizen will be able to obtain stocks worth 10 to 15 rubles..." Ainatoli said proudly Said proudly.

"Mr. Mayor, as you know, we at Merlo Bank have always been interested in investment in heavy industries such as energy, mining, metallurgy, machinery, and shipbuilding. Can you give us some investment in the joint-stock reform of enterprises in this area?" Take care of..." Aiden said in a low voice.

Anatole cursed in his heart: Greedy and stingy Americans!But he said hahaha: "Easy to say...easy to say!"

Aiden looked around, then moved closer and lowered his voice and said: "Your Excellency, Mayor, in order to expand our overseas business, our Melo Bank headquarters has approved a special clause for our branch this time, that is, the acquisition fee can account for the total investment. 5% of the equity. If a third-party consulting company helps us successfully acquire the equity of a certain company, the consulting company can directly obtain 5% of the equity of the new company..."

After pondering for a moment, Anatole said calmly: "Mr. Aiden, the 5% consulting fee is actually not very competitive. You also know that consulting companies need to straighten out all aspects of relationships..."

Aiden's eyes lit up and he continued: "For certain key projects, we can apply to the headquarters. If the acquisition price is reasonable, the consulting fee can be raised to a maximum of 10%..."

"18%, fixed price! There are too many people watching. Every link needs to be taken care of. Which company you are interested in, you first find a way to take back the stocks issued to the public, and leave the rest to me. ..." Anatole said.

Aiden happily agreed: "It's a pleasure to cooperate! Mr. Ainatoli, you first register an international consulting company in the Cayman Islands. It is best to hide the relationship between the actual controller and you through cross-shareholding. We will The money will be transferred to the company account in the name of consulting fees and project management fees as equity subscription funds!"

"Mr. Ayden, I was a practicing lawyer before I entered politics. I know how to circumvent federal laws..." Ainatoli said with a look of disapproval.

Stuttgart, the capital of the federal state of Baden-Württemberg, Germany.

Piëch resigned from his position as vice president of Audi and returned to his long-awaited hometown of Stuttgart, despite the board's efforts to retain him.

Yang Mo personally flew to Stuttgart to invite him, which gave Piëch enough face. Coupled with the temptation of 5% options, Piëch finally agreed to join Saab Automobile as CEO.

Piëch really had no reason to refuse. In the entire history of the automobile industry, no boss had ever been so generous and gave the management 5% of the options at once. More importantly, Piëch saw Yang Mo's courage and sincerity!

During the discussion with Yang Mo about Saab's future development plan, many concepts coincided with each other. The several models Yang Mo drew at random surprised Piech, who claimed to be a design genius. Yang Mo's Only then could Piëch be completely impressed.

After reaching a consensus with Yang Mo on increasing production capacity and developing new models, the smug Piëch embarked on his journey north to Sweden.

Channing also happened to drive Hernandez Veve to Stuttgart.

After meeting up with Yang Mo, we drove all the way east from Stuttgart and drove nearly 200 kilometers before finally arriving at Heidenheim, a small town in the same state of Baden-Württemberg.

Heidenheim, located on the Brenz River, is a small county with a population of less than 100 and an area of ​​less than [-] square kilometers.

Apart from Rommel, the Desert Fox who was born in Heidenheim, what can make people in small cities talk about it is probably the Zeiss optical company that moved from Jena after World War II.

Yang Mo's trip was just for this optical instrument company with a long history.Zeiss Optical Company is still surviving despite the catastrophes of two wars.

Hernandez-Weaver gushed about the history of Zeiss Optical Company along the way: "Zeiss has always been the best optical instrument company in the world. It is a pity that after the defeat of World War II, the Americans occupied the Zeiss factory in Jena and forcibly All Zeiss patents and technical documents were requisitioned, most of the production equipment was dismantled, and most of the professional mechanics were brought to Heidenheim.”

"What about the Carl Zeiss public enterprise in Jena in East Germany now? Who among them is the real successor to Carl Zeiss?" Yang Mo asked in confusion.

Hernandez Veve sighed and continued: "A year later, the Soviets also came. They dismantled all the equipment at the Zeiss Jena factory and at the same time removed all the remaining scientists, engineers and professional technicians. He brought it back home, and later, under the strong request of the East German government, he took it back..."
