"Boss, there are really enough students and professors at the University of Munich. The University of Tokyo, Cambridge University, Stanford and other universities we have been to before do not have such a high teacher-student ratio."
Zhang Long said in surprise.
"Most of the engineers in heavy industry companies in Germany work in universities. The scientific research capabilities of universities are relatively higher. Nowadays, industry and academia are integrated. Companies must rely on universities to provide scientific research funds."
"It would be great if we also built a Jade Emperor University, which can also train various talents for the group."
"It is too difficult to build a university. Professors can be recruited without money. Some of the world-renowned universities have a history of more than a hundred years.
Furthermore, we don’t have a suitable place to build a university. Each university covers several thousand acres of land, and Hong Kong Island doesn’t have such a big place.”
Zhang Zhonghua said with emotion.
"Moreover, the high schools on Hong Kong Island also emphasize arts and neglect science. They don't care about science at all. It's difficult to recruit students to universities."
After Zhang Zhonghua stayed in Munich for three days, he led a brigade of security personnel to inspect Carrefour supermarkets in various places, art.
The first stop was Hamburg, which will be the second most populous city in Germany in the future. Hamburg is also the largest and most important seaport and the largest foreign trade center in West Germany. It is also the economic and cultural center of northern West Germany and is the center of western Germany.
An important transportation hub in northern Germany, it is known as "Germany's gateway to the world."
Zhang Zhonghua's first stop was Hamburg, mainly because Hamburg is the European branch of cFc Catering Company's central kitchen. The central kitchen here supplies ingredients for cFc restaurants throughout Europe, which is the top priority of cFc Catering Company.
Along the way, Zhang Zhonghua also learned about the industrial distribution of West Germany. West Germany not only has developed heavy industry, but also agriculture is the most important economic foundation. It is one of the few countries in Europe that can barely be self-sufficient.
Southern West Germany is mostly mountainous and plateau, but due to its lower latitude, the valley areas with lower altitudes are rich in light and heat resources and are suitable for the development of planting industry, while in the mountains and plateaus with higher altitudes, forestry and animal husbandry are the main industries;
The northern part of West Germany is mostly plains, but due to its high latitude, humid and cold climate, and lack of heat, it is suitable for the development of animal husbandry but not for the development of planting.
The northern part of West Germany has a favorable climate for the development of animal husbandry. Yuhuang Animal Husbandry Company here rents more than 10,000 acres of land to build a new breeding farm. Although the area is not very large, the degree of mechanization in West Germany is far from that of Southeast Asia.
Therefore, the breeding capacity is much higher than that of Southeast Asian breeding farms of the same area.
West Germany attaches great importance to the development of agriculture and animal husbandry. Zhang Zhonghua does not have to worry about the increase in land rent. He can buy factory land. As for buying a farm, that is something he cannot even think about.
Zhang Zhonghua and others visited Hamburg for three days and then set off again to Amsterdam in the Netherlands. Amsterdam is the capital and largest city of the Netherlands, a world-renowned tourist city and international metropolis, and a paradise for men.
The cFc restaurant in the Netherlands has opened ahead of Carrefour supermarket. The Netherlands is very small, and the cFc restaurant in the Netherlands is basically saturated with 200 branches.
[A novel app that has been running stably for many years, comparable to the old version of the source-changing app, huanyuanapp, that is used by all chasing bugs.]
Homemart convenience store has basically reached its limit after spending a high price to purchase 600 stores. When opening other branches, it can only open franchises to attract stores to join. Money is everything, but sometimes it is not everything.
Coming to this country, which was the world's most powerful maritime overlord in the 17th century and was known as the sea coachman, Zhang Zhonghua had a rare opportunity to inspect and travel in the Netherlands.
Zhang Zhonghua also briefly visited important attractions such as the Amsterdam Canal, the Van Gogh Museum, the Rijksmuseum, and the Royal Palace of Amsterdam. Zhang Zhonghua also paid a visit to the headquarters of the world-renowned giants Royal Dutch Shell Group, Philips Group, and Unilever.
The population of the Netherlands is only 12 million, and last year's GDP reached more than 34 billion U.S. dollars, making it a fully developed country. The most important thing is that the Netherlands is also the future world's lithography giant ASmL. It was also born in the Netherlands. More than ten years later, it plugged in a
There shouldn't be much of a problem with your feet.
Even if the Ugly Country loses all shame in the future, it can still develop some lithography machines and lithography machine technology under the blockade of the Ugly Country.
After staying in the Netherlands for a few days, Zhang Zhonghua came to Belgium, a country adjacent to the Netherlands.
Zhang Zhonghua also has little impression of this country, and the country's presence is not strong.
Although Belgium's land area is much larger than that of the Netherlands, its economy and population are still much weaker than those of the Netherlands. The cFc restaurant in Belgium has also been opened, and the cFc restaurant has reached 90 branches in Belgium.
Homemart convenience store has purchased 300 stores. In the future, it will be difficult for other giants to join them.
After staying in Belgium, Zhang Zhonghua and everyone took a plane to Vienna, the capital of Austria, the world's music capital. Zhang Zhonghua knew Austria slightly better than Belgium. Like Switzerland, it is a permanent neutral country and the third United Nations city. Austria is already close to the Soviet Union.
control area.
Austria has produced many world-famous musicians in its history: Haydn, the composer of the classical period and the founder of the Viennese classical music school, composed multiple symphonies and "Genesis" and was awarded the title of "Father of the Symphony";
Classical composer and world-renowned musician Mozart, Mozart completed more than 600 different musical works including operas, symphonies, etc., covering almost all music genres at that time;
Beethoven, who was born in Germany but lived in Austria for a long time, is even called the "Saint of Music" and the "King of Symphony" by Westerners.
Austria is not far from the Munich warehouse center in West Germany. The cFc restaurant has also opened. The 200 cFc restaurants in Austria are already saturated. Homemart convenience stores have purchased 700 stores in Austria, and now only about 200 of them have been renovated.

After a brief inspection, Zhang Zhonghua took his bodyguard to listen to the symphony at the concert and watch the opera. He could still listen to the symphony, but Zhang Zhonghua took the opera
I really can't appreciate it.
After leaving Austria, Zhang Zhonghua and everyone took a plane to Switzerland, the country with the highest happiness index in the world. The plane landed in Zurich, the largest city in Switzerland, the international financial center.
Switzerland, located in the heart of Europe, is bordered by West Germany to the north, Gaul to the west, Italy to the south, and Austria to the east. It is known as the 'Roof of Europe'.
Switzerland is an extremely developed country. It is one of the richest, most socially stable, most economically developed countries with the highest living standards in the world. It is also one of the most stable economies in the world.
Speaking of Switzerland, the first thing people think of is Swiss banks and watches. Of course, many people also think of the Swiss Army Knife. Switzerland is also a luxury goods giant.
Swiss watches account for 40% of the world's total production, and 7 out of every 10 pieces of global exports come from Switzerland.
There are many top brands in the world, including Patek Philippe, Vacheron Constantin, Audemars Piguet, Breguet, Piaget, Jaeger-LeCoultre, Parmigiani Fleurier, Blancpain, Ulysse Nardin, Frank Muller and so on.
Switzerland is one of the earliest neutral countries and has become the safest and most stable country in the world. The bank's secrecy system makes Switzerland a safe haven for investors to avoid taxes.
Swiss bank secrecy regulations attracted a large number of overseas deposits, but also exposed various shortcomings, providing great convenience for tax evasion and money laundering. Of course, decades later, Switzerland’s secrecy system also ended due to pressure from all parties, leaving Switzerland
The bank can no longer live up to its former glory.
"Boss, there are so many banks here in Zurich, where are their vaults?"
Zhang Longdong looked around and asked with a smile.
"Where is the vault? It must be more than a hundred meters underground, or in the mountains, who knows where? Anyway, it must be very safe. Otherwise, if it is stolen, I will cry to death."
Zhang Zhonghua joked.
The cFc restaurant also has 150 branches in Switzerland. Homemart only purchased more than 300 stores symbolically, which are too expensive to open. As for supermarkets, most of them are in the suburbs. In the future European Union period, Swiss locals will not be happy.
Now, I live in Switzerland and spend money in the country next door.
Everyone took cars and drove to the branch of Jade Emperor Bank. Zurich is the second largest gold trading market in the world after London. Of course, Jade Emperor Bank cannot give up here.
Zhang Zhonghua and others took a car along Route 63 to the city center on the banks of the Lima River. On the way, Zhang Zhonghua admired the ancient European architecture. The perfect combination of the vicissitudes of time and modern art makes it a perfect tourist city.
The Lima River divides the city of Zurich into east and west parts, and commercial centers are also distributed on both sides of the river. The west bank is the old town of Zurich and the east bank is the new town of Zurich.
The east bank of the Lima River is home to the headquarters of more than a hundred international banks. It was prosperous and prosperous, making Zurich a major offshore banking center in the world.
"Boss, Zurich is an important international financial center, but there don't seem to be any high-rise buildings?"
Zhang Long was amazed when he saw it. Not only were the buildings not high, but these bank headquarters were built almost exactly the same. They were almost all four- or five-story buildings, with only a few reaching seven or eight floors.
"The capital of Switzerland is Bern, and Zurich is the economic and cultural center of Switzerland. The population is not that large. Most of the buildings in Europe are livable and low-rise European style. If you want to build skyscrapers, the city government will not agree. Boss,
We’ll be at Jade Emperor Bank soon.”
Zhang Zhonghua listened to the introduction of the situation in Switzerland by the person in charge of the Swiss branch of Yuhuang Bank. This person in charge was also an elite who had worked at Standard Chartered Bank for more than ten years and was also recruited by Gong Qigao and Pu Weishi.
A few minutes later, the car stopped in front of a white square five-story building.
Later, Zhang Zhonghua followed Zhang Huawei to visit Jade Emperor Bank and met the staff here. They were all students from prestigious European universities, and most of them had master's degrees.
"Boss, this building sells for as much as 20 million US dollars, but most of the cost is due to the vault 50 meters underground here.
The vault is surrounded by aerospace materials and has 6,000 cubic meters of space on the upper and lower floors. The 3,000 cubic meters on the bottom floor can store approximately 10,000 to 15,000 tons of gold."
The person in charge joked with a smile.
"Can it store 10,000 to 15,000 tons of gold? Currently, only China has gold reserves of more than 10,000 tons in the world. However, no one knows how many gold mines have been mined in the world in the past 20 years."
Zhang Zhonghua said with a smile.
In 1945, the Bretton Woods system was established, and all countries confirmed the official gold price of US$35 per ounce set by the United States in 1934.
At the same time, it is stipulated that countries can exchange US dollars for gold at this price. In essence, the US dollar is linked to gold, and the currencies of other countries are linked to the US dollar, thereby establishing an international monetary system centered on the US dollar.
After the war, Ugly became the big brother and tried to influence the international situation. He launched several foreign wars, especially the Korean War and the Vietnam War, which made the US military trapped in the quagmire of war and unable to extricate itself.
Huge fiscal deficits have repeatedly impacted the credibility of the U.S. dollar, causing countries to sell their U.S. dollars and grab gold.
In March 1968, the global rush for gold caused a record-breaking volume of transactions in the London gold market. The U.S. could no longer maintain the official price of gold, and finally had to announce that it would give up the market supply of US$35 per ounce. From then on, the price of gold officially entered a free floating state.
With the deepening of the Vietnam War, the deterioration of the country's financial situation finally triggered a full-scale dollar crisis.
In 1971, the Bretton Woods monetary system collapsed completely, and Western countries announced that they would abandon the fixed exchange rate system and implement a floating exchange rate system.
The idle account profits of a company under the Yuhuang Group are as high as 2 billion U.S. dollars. Zhang Zhonghua does not want the account to depreciate, not to mention that CFC restaurant and Carrefour supermarket are constantly making money every day, so they can definitely buy gold.
Jade Emperor Bank has as many as 1 million depositors around the world, and the funds on its account are close to 1.6 billion U.S. dollars. It allows Puves to invest a large part of gold. It is completely trivial that Jade Emperor Bank does not lack liquidity.
Zhang Zhonghua and Zhang Huawei arrived at the office on the rooftop. Bodyguards were guarding the door. It was time to talk business.
"Our group has a lot of idle funds in its account, and Zurich is the world's second largest gold trading market. From now on, we can gradually acquire gold, starting with one billion US dollars."
Zhang Zhonghua said.
After the establishment of the Bretton Woods system, the U.S. dollar became the leading international currency, and U.S. countries also began to sell gold continuously. After the defeat in the Vietnam War, they began to print a large amount of U.S. dollars. There were too many frivolous operations.
"One billion U.S. dollars of gold can be obtained quickly. It's not difficult. The daily gold trading volume in Zurich is about 10 billion U.S. dollars. But, boss, where is this gold stored?"
"Store it here for the time being. The spot gold purchased in the London market will also be placed here in the future. I will send some security personnel over."
Now only Zurich has a treasury. Buildings in Hong Kong, Japan, and the United Kingdom have already been built. If you want to build a treasury, you can only tear it down and rebuild it. Other places are not as safe as Switzerland, so you should send more security personnel.
Just gradually transport it out in the future. Anyway, it’s still early for Ugly Country to lead Europe into a fight with the scorching summer.
