Reborn in America, I'm serious about making money.

Did Zhang San come to Portugal to watch the football game? Definitely not. Although he did a lot of work by just talking, the result was that his subordinates were exhausted, while he was bored out of his mind.

They truly achieved this: the boss only needs to say a few words, and the employees are running themselves ragged. Not only that, but they also have to work overtime if they can't finish the work.

His real purpose was in Germany.

Overseas financial groups typically have branches or securities firms in major stock markets worldwide. His appearance in Frankfurt is therefore unsurprising.

Compared to the greed of the North American stock market, the "freedom" of the British stock market, or the "gambling" nature of the Hong Kong stock market, the German DAX is much more rigorous. The DAX-30 represents the best companies in Germany, and the Frankfurt branch of the overseas financial group mainly invests in the constituent stocks of the DAX-30, which is conservative and stable. Moreover, it is also going long on DAX-30 stock index futures.

"Their results are very good," was Zhang San's assessment of them.

"Sir, it is my honor to meet you."

Outside Frankfurt Airport, they had already picked up Zhang San's branch president. Hans, in the car, expressed his respect. Over the years, overseas financial companies in Germany had made great profits. Although there had been some losses before, they were insignificant. With the support of headquarters, they had been buying DAX-30 stocks, and now the harvest season had begun.

After exchanging pleasantries in the car for a while, Zhang San said, "I am very optimistic about the stock market here and will increase my investment."

The DAX-30 list includes many well-known companies, such as Adidas, Allianz, BASF, Bayer Pharmaceuticals, Beiersdorf Chemicals, BMW, Commerzbank, Continental AG, Daimler AG, Deutsche Bank, Deutsche Börse, Deutsche Post, Deutsche Telekom, E.ON AG Energy, Fresenius, Fresenius Medical Care, Henkel Chemicals, Infineon Semiconductor, K+S Mining, Linde Chemicals, Lufthansa, Merck, Lanxess Chemicals, Munich Re, RWE AG Energy, Heidelberg Cement, SAP (Supplier of enterprise management software and solutions), Siemens, ThyssenKrupp, and Volkswagen.

This demonstrates the advanced state of the country's automobile manufacturing industry, a testament to its cutting-edge manufacturing capabilities. In addition to automobile manufacturing, there are also chemical and pharmaceutical industries. It can be said that there is a reason why this country was able to rebuild itself from the ruins.

Zhang San was particularly interested in Volkswagen, and he decided to invest a large sum of money in the company.

"Boss, you want to acquire Volkswagen? But, boss, you know there's a Volkswagen Law here."

When Hans heard that his boss was going to invest one billion dollars to acquire Volkswagen's stock, he thought his boss was going to acquire such a company.

Many people may be unfamiliar with the Volkswagen Act. This law was enacted to protect Volkswagen, Germany's pride and an industrial star, from being acquired by foreign capital.

The German Volkswagen Act stipulates that voting rights are calculated proportionally to shareholding when the shareholding is less than 20%, and even when the shareholding exceeds 20%, the voting rights are still limited to a maximum of 20%. In other words, to control Volkswagen, one must hold at least 80% of the shares. Why is this regulation in place?

Because the state where Volkswagen is located owns exactly 20.1% of the shares, no one can control Volkswagen. Since the state owns 20.1% of the shares, controlling Volkswagen would require more than 80% ownership, which is impossible.

This also ensures that the Volkswagen Group under the Volkswagen Act will always belong to Germany.

However, it's not without its flaws. If each of the four people holds 20%, wouldn't they be able to gain decision-making power at the board meeting?

However, things took a turn for the better, but that's a story for later. If Zhang San really did acquire Volkswagen, he might get into trouble.

"Of course, I know that this law restricts free business and is not in line with the laws of a capitalist society. There will be a change in the future; but even so, I will not acquire Volkswagen. I am just making a financial investment. I am optimistic about its prospects."

Although he didn't know that this Chinese boss trusted these local listed companies more than his own compatriots, he still carried out his boss's orders and began to acquire Volkswagen shares. As for why he was acquiring a billion dollars worth of shares, he didn't understand.

Zhang San admires the German way of doing things; they are meticulous.

Seeing that Hans, this German, had meticulously arranged for people to acquire Volkswagen shares there, which were already close to 5%, I realized that he was now very close to acquiring them.

Previously, in order to invest in the German DAX-30 and obtain steady returns from the index's growth, I had already bought a lot of stocks. Now I am making acquisitions, and it will soon reach 5%.

"When it gets close to 5%, switch to another company."

Zhang San has many accounts. Since one account is about to exceed the limit, then he will use the second account. When the second account is close, he will immediately use the third account.

It will only stop when it reaches more than 20%; Volkswagen is a good stock, so there is naturally no reason not to consider it as a financial investment.

Zhang San knows something, but he doesn't know if it will happen in this timeline. After all, he has a great influence on the timeline of this world, and many people have already deviated from their original life trajectories.

But it doesn't matter, the stock is currently at a low point, he's not afraid of getting stuck with it.

In the next room, they were buying DAX-30 index futures, and the company's large-scale purchases were causing the DAX-30 index futures to rise rapidly.

They simultaneously went long on index futures and drove up stock prices to acquire more stock shares.

Following Zhang San's instructions, Hans continuously switched accounts to buy Volkswagen stock, and the stock price continued to rise. The large-scale purchases further fueled the upward trend of Volkswagen's stock.

Zhang San closely monitored market dynamics, knowing that this upward trend would continue. Even if Volkswagen's stock price rose to a certain level, he had no intention of selling some shares to take profits and exit the market.

During this process, Zhang San also discovered some other promising stocks, and he planned to transfer some of his funds to these stocks to diversify his investment risks.

Compared to the mainland's A-share market, he believes that, through proper planning and operation, one of the driving forces behind the rise of Germany's DAX is...

"Hans, let's pause for now. We haven't received enough shares yet. The stock price has already gone up. Let's take a break and wait until everyone's emotions have stabilized before making further plans."
