The Argentine National Stock Exchange is under intense preparation in Blanca City. In addition to most of the managers and supervisors of the stock exchange coming from Blanca City Hall and major banks, half of the staff come from Argentina. Central Bank, Ministry of Finance, Argentine Securities Commission and other places.

There are 27 companies in Blanca City that have officially applied for listing on the new exchange, and they all need to be inspected one by one to allow compliant companies to be listed on the new exchange.

Other Argentine National Securities Buildings, as well as various equipment and materials required by the stock exchange, need to be prepared one by one.

The height of this securities building is estimated to be 28 stories. It was originally intended to be built as a commercial building. It is currently the tallest building in Blanca City. It exceeds many 18- and 20-story high-rise buildings and is close to reaching its ceiling.

If it is named, it may be named Blanca International Financial Center, Argentina Financial Building, etc. Some banks and securities firms will also be stationed there as regional headquarters, as well as some regulatory departments of Blanca City Hall.

San Jose attended the inauguration ceremony of the securities building, and the countdown to the opening of the exchange has entered.



At the request of Saint Jose and with the spontaneous preparations of the heads of various districts and counties.

The various districts and counties of Blanca City and the towns under the districts and counties also copied the practices of the State-owned Commission of Blanca City. After becoming a formal administrative district, they established their own economic development companies to carry out industrial investment and industrial zone construction. .

After three discussions at the city hall meeting, San Jose officially renamed and standardized the districts, counties, and towns within the city of Blanca to cope with increasingly complex affairs and complete the unification of decrees in the city of Blanca. standardization of subsequent development.

The last round of adjustments basically determined the jurisdictional scope of each district, county, and town. However, Blanca City has a large number of parallel administrative districts such as towns, counties, and districts at the same time, which is easily misleading.

Argentina's current administrative divisions are a mess of village-level cities, town-level cities, and municipalities, which is a headache and is not conducive to economic development.

For the same city, municipality and village-level city, the size may vary hundreds of times.

The results of this city hall and city council meeting were also announced, triggering a big discussion among citizens. Most people from outside the city expressed their approval, and most local residents agreed and believed that the name change was necessary.

The new Blanca City map is also ready to be updated.

After many districts and counties issued meeting notices, they have already begun to prepare for the replacement of signs. The city hall is responsible for renaming the districts and counties at the next level, while the districts and counties rename the towns and streets, and the towns and streets rename the villages and streets. Communities are being renamed, as are public facilities such as bus stops, regional hospitals, and schools.

The rural counties and cities around Blanca City are completely brought under the unified jurisdiction of the city hall, which can give full play to the economic development role of the central city of Blanca City, and gradually form an economic zone based on the Greater Blanca City, so that the economic region and The scope of administrative divisions is basically the same, which also reduces the resistance of surrounding counties to the city hall.

Blanca City is a place where industrial and economic development is the main focus. The formal administrative districts are called municipal districts. There are 6 in total, covering an area of ​​2,200 square kilometers, such as Alta District, East District, West District, and Achlic District.

The districts mainly accept the jurisdiction of the Blanca City Hall. Financial transfers and personnel changes require the approval of the Blanca City Hall. Economically, they mainly accept the leadership of the City Hall and unified planning. Together, these districts form the municipality of Blanca City. district.

The municipal district is the core component of Blanca City's urban body and the center of regional economic development. The residents are mainly urban residents. The urbanization is generally at a high level. The economy is developed, there are many factories, and financial and new technology industries are also developed.

The 8 towns and counties in the suburbs are now all reunified into counties, such as Medanos County, and the towns have become Argentina's fourth-level administrative regions under the districts and counties. The autonomy of the counties will be higher than that of the districts, and the economy Mainly based on agriculture, the main leaders of the county are also supervised and responsible by the Blanca City Hall. These 8 counties, generally called suburban counties, are important reserve resources, with a total area of ​​4824 square kilometers.

At this point, Blanca City has also completed the basic unification of decrees and zoning, and the degree of centralization has also been greatly improved. It can be regarded as a successful digestion of the merger of surrounding cities and counties. Now suburban counties can also call themselves in the name of Blanca City, increasing their identity. Sense of identity.

Counties have higher autonomy in economic development and have a relatively small population, but the main person in charge has to go to the city hall to report their work every month. The county's residence is usually a town. If the district's residence has a high degree of development, it can be renamed from a town to a street. The jurisdiction range Generally speaking, towns that are too small may consider merging to strengthen their strength.

Medanos County is a county with a large population and a large jurisdiction that was annexed by Blanca City. It has a good geographical location, has its own small port, and has good railway and road transportation.

Initially, the development was relatively slow, but since the provincial capital was moved to the Argerich district, it is now close to the provincial capital. After changes to various systems and arrangements, it has gradually been included in the scope of the city of Gran Blanca, and people in the area have gradually become more aware of it. increased.

More resources can be obtained from the city hall, and the Medanos County Economic Development Corporation, Medanos County Construction Company, Aquatic Products Company, Broadcasting Company, Bus Company, etc. have been established successively, taking the lead in the construction of 7 large-scale industrial zones, export Processing areas, and carry out the construction of water supply, power supply, communications and ports, bridges, railways, highways and other infrastructure, improving the industrial development environment.

Directly attracting investment in the urban area of ​​Blanca City is very attractive to some leather factories, shoe factories, power plants, and breeding farms that require large-scale land and may cause relatively large noise pollution, and the economy has developed as a result. Now It is the fastest growing county among the suburbs.

Electrification is transforming Blanca's urban environment. The huge thermal power plants and power grids in the suburbs have turned Blanca's urban area into a city that never sleeps. The night economy has also activated the entire market.

Cheap electricity and abundant power supply, large-scale hydroelectric power stations are being built in the upper reaches of the Colorado River, and the short rivers in the Andes have abundant electrical energy resources that can be fully utilized.

Southern Electric Company is also preparing to attack listed companies and raise funds to continue building larger power plants to meet the expanding population of Blanca City.

People always admire their mayor, Mr. Saint Jose, for his foresight. When the population was less than 200,000, he had already begun to consider the power supply system for 2 million people, and introduced production equipment from electric power and electrical companies to seek for Localization reduces costs and creates a large number of jobs.

In the past, Argentina could only import various power supply equipment from General Electric in the United States at high prices. Even screws had to be imported and were expensive.

Taking the lead of Blanca City Hall, Southern Electric Power has established connections with Siemens Electric of Germany, Westinghouse Electric, and Emerson Electric of the United States, which has met the needs very well. It has built a power generation equipment factory, an electric lamp factory, and a cable factory in Blanca City. Wire factory and other power and electrical supporting factories.

Bruno Electronics, Southern Electric Power, and Philip Industries were selected as partners with foreign electrical companies. They established joint venture factories with Siemens Electric, Westinghouse Electric, and Emerson Electric respectively. In the future, they will build Argentine's own electrical company.

With the help of American Cohen Electric and the investment of St. Hesse funds, Buono Electronics Factory has been greatly changed. It can now produce more useful electronic appliances, such as fans, radios, lamps, wires and other products, and the number of employees has exceeded With a workforce of 2,000, it is one of the largest factories in Blanca City.

In addition, the three major companies will also establish refrigerator factories, washing machine factories and other electrical appliance factories in the future.

Although Argentina does not have a huge market, its influence still exists. It is also possible to enter Bolivia and Paraguay from here, and in the 1950s, a city with a population of one million still had a good scale effect, not to mention Blanca. The city hall is also willing to spend money to establish in-depth cooperation with these medium-sized electrical companies.



After World War II, Auto Alliance's automobile manufacturing plant in Saxony was confiscated and dismantled by the Soviet occupation forces, and was basically sent to the Soviet Union.

Auto Union went from being the second largest car company in Germany to becoming a pauper.

The senior members of the Auto Union went to the neighboring state of Bavaria to carry out reconstruction work, and in 1949, the German Auto Union GmbH was established in Ingolstadt.

Inheriting the tradition of the old automobile alliance, with four links as its logo, this is also the famous Audi car in later generations.

Ingolstadt is located in the center of Bavaria and has convenient transportation. Although it is not as prosperous and well-known as Munich, it is a transportation hub. This is why the Auto Union used to regard it as a spare parts supply center.

Ingolstadt city statistics show that the establishment of the spare parts supply center has promoted local employment, so the political and business relations are very friendly, and the convenient transportation can also make full use of Bavaria's rich labor resources.

Of course, the most important reason for the reconstruction of the Auto Union in Ingolstadt was the centuries-old military "heritage" of a well-preserved military town: vast grounds, countless barracks, garages and gun turrets.

This is invaluable to the Automobile Alliance, which does not have the funds to build new factories.

With the help of the Ingolstadt City Hall, starting from the headquarters of the military supply depot on Skoranenstraße, the Auto Union took over the new armory, the Sheriff's Building, the vehicle hall, the arsenal, the riding training hall and the square A number of buildings, including the Parade Square, began to be rebuilt.

It's just that progress is very slow, not comparable to other car manufacturers.

Auto Union's facilities were spread across the city, making routine and reasonable production almost impossible, with workers deriding the company as a "small company."

The management of the Auto Alliance has overcome many difficulties and started from simple motorcycle production, selling motorcycle engines, OEM auto parts, and other industries related to motorcycles and automobiles.

Now it is ready to intervene in the automobile OEM industry. The OEM target is expected to be Volkswagen, which produces the Beetle. However, the Automobile Alliance has not given up its dream of developing its own cars, but it is limited by existing conditions and cannot implement it.

Bavaria is located in the southern part of the New Federal Republic of Germany. Its capital is Munich. It covers an area of ​​70,550 square kilometers. It is the largest state in the New Federal Republic of Germany. It also has a very large population of 8 million, which is comparable to four or five La Pampa provinces. It is also the only state in the new Federal Republic of Germany. The territory of the state remained as it was after the collapse of Chibi in 1945.

After the war, the Bavarian state government took active measures to attract all kinds of talents, new technology companies and scientific research institutions to settle in Bavaria, and initially realized the economic structural transformation from agriculture and animal husbandry to an industrial state. In less than 10 years, Bavaria has become an economic A state with a good foundation, basically complete infrastructure, and a reasonable economic structure.

Bavaria has made rapid progress in electronics, machinery, automobiles and other fields, and now the financial industry has also begun to develop.

Many well-known enterprises of later generations such as Siemens, BMW, MAN, and Adidas, financial and insurance industries such as Allianz Insurance, Munich Re, and Yubao Bank, and scientific research institutions such as the Max Planck Society and the Fraunhofer Institute are all headquartered in Bavaria. .

BMW, headquartered in Munich, is the Bavarian engine manufacturing plant. With the help of American funds, it is now recovering and developing very smoothly.

Auto Alliance is also very envious, but now it can only do OEM and parts business, as well as motorcycle production.

The current Auto Union has still not been able to develop on the right track. 1954 was the first year that Auto Union made a profit. The profit was about 400,000 German marks. It was a huge gap compared to BMW in Munich, and it was far behind Lower Saxony. The annual profits of these three car manufacturers, Volkswagen in Wolfsburg and Mercedes-Benz in neighboring Stuttgart, are now basically in the tens of millions of marks, which is really not worth mentioning.

On August 9, 1954, a general strike broke out in the Bavarian metal processing industry.

It was one of the first large-scale industrial disputes in the young Federal Republic of Germany, and companies in the metalworking industry called it "the most significant event of the postwar period."

At that time, New Auto Union already had 5,000 employees. As one of the largest manufacturers in Ingolstadt, many employees also threw away their production tools.

The workers demanded shorter working hours, increased wages, and improved working and living conditions. The strike lasted until August 31, 1954.

Through arbitration, labor and management reached an agreement, and the Bavarian general strike ended.

The result of the strike was that workers' wages increased by a little more than 4%.

The new Auto Union company spent an additional 920,000 German marks due to the general strike in Bavaria. This is one of the reasons why the Auto Union is short of funds. The Auto Union needs partners or powerful new shareholders.

Philip Industries-Thunder Shield Automotive Company stepped in after this, solving the urgent need and bringing in a large amount of funds.

Philip Industries registered the German Philip Industry Company in Hamburg in 1953 and hired a group of managers from the German machinery and automobile industries for the acquisition of various technologies, including but not limited to mechanical processing, automobiles, motorcycles, and tractors. , trucks and other technologies.

At the end of 1954, Philip Industrial Munich of Germany registered the German Thunder Shield Automobile Company, with automobile-related technology as the main acquisition target. It was only then that the two companies came into contact.

In the name of the German Leiden Automobile Company, Philip, the general manager of Leidun Automobile, successively invested 8 million US dollars to acquire 70% of the equity of Auto Alliance Co., Ltd., including purchasing the equity of other Auto Alliance companies, as well as purchasing production equipment and transforming factories. investment.

Auto Alliance is a piece of fat. Many companies and families are eyeing this company without a leader. Although the original senior management re-established Auto Alliance, the new company lacks strength and is very fragmented.

Philip also had his own advantages. During the long-term purchase of German technology, he met a group of German bankers and partners. Philip often went to the Federal Republic of Germany to "hunt for goods" and established a group of contacts, defeating those who coveted the German Automobile Alliance. Companies and families.

The German Automobile Alliance is not a company that is of concern to large consortiums and the United States, so the acquisition work went very smoothly. People are also paying more attention to large automobile companies such as BMW, Mercedes-Benz, and Volkswagen. The Automobile Alliance, which has a profit of only 450,000 marks, has not encountered much opposition. .

The United States gave the new Federal Republic of Germany a large amount of economic aid to counter the expansion of the Soviet Union in Europe. As the Federal Republic of Germany's economy recovered, it did not keep a close eye on it, but there were still a large number of agents and spy organizations distributed.

Philip also realized that the future development of this automobile manufacturer also required partners with large amounts of capital, so during the acquisition, he also brought along the Hamburg branch of Barron's Bank, Hamburg City Commercial Bank and other financial institutions to provide low interest rates to the German Automobile Alliance. Industrial Loans.

Hamburg is now the largest city in the Federal Republic of Germany, the most important seaport and the largest foreign trade center in Germany. It is also the second financial center in Germany, second only to Frankfurt, and has many financial institutions.

In the past few years, the only products produced in Ingolstadt were two-stroke DKW motorcycles and cars.

Now after the German Automobile Alliance company was acquired by German Thunder Shield, it was officially renamed German Audi Automobile Company. A new super-large factory was built in the suburbs of Ingolstadt. The number of workers increased from 5,000 to more than 10,000. The parts factory Production and sales have expanded several times, and a large number of advanced machine tools have been purchased, and the company has developed very rapidly.

Through patent technology licensing and other methods, Audi has increased technology research and development capabilities for Argentinian Thunder Shield Automobile, and Thunder Shield Automobile has also secretly provided many technical data of Fiat Automobile to Audi of Germany. This is the world's most advanced small car technology, and it is Germany's Audi needs it.

Audi in Germany has a high degree of autonomy in development, rich connections, and great advantages.

With the help of Germany's Audi, the Fiat 600 was mass-produced smoothly. New Cohen Heavy Industry benefited a lot. The research and development of Argentina's Thunder Shield accelerated. Based on the Fiat 600, Thunder Shield developed a Thunder Shield 800 model with a complete internal structure and appearance. Different, the technology is more optimized, the price is lower, and we are ready to invest in mass production.

The German Audi Automobile Company is now the talent pool of Argentina's Thunder Shield Automotive. A large number of outstanding parts talents have joined Argentina's Thunder Shield Automotive through work assignments.

The strength of the local German Audi has not weakened. Germany is now rich in talents, and the automobile industry and precision machine tool industry are developing very rapidly. This has also increased Audi's strength, and it plans to launch independently developed models.

Argentinian Thunderbolt's new car Thunderbolt 800 is a mini car with good cost performance and appearance. It has been promoted and promoted in the Federal Republic of Germany, Italy, Spain, Switzerland, the United Kingdom and France. The first production line was established at the Audi factory in Germany.

It is also because many of the technology sources for the Thunder Shield 800 are also from German Audi, which incorporates some technologies from Fiat. On the contrary, Argentines may not need the Thunder Shield 800 very much and plan to get out of the situation of export to domestic sales.

Argentina's Thunder Shield currently still focuses on the production of Fiat 600. It can make more money quickly, but its overall R&D strength is still not as good as that of Germany's Audi. This will take time to accumulate.
