Chapter 1906: The Great Opportunity of the Wind and Rain Card
"Are you going to America again?" Li Na asked while packing Feng Yu's things.
"I'm going to the United States, but this time I'm going to France first. Would you like to take a few days off and go to Paris with me?"
"Let's forget it. Recently, many students in the school haven't signed their jobs yet. There are still graduation thesis to be tutored, and I still have two reports to hand in."
"Honey, why are you working so hard? It would be nice to teach some elective courses. It's not too much responsibility to be easy." Li Na likes being a teacher, and Feng Yu has no objection, but there is no need to make yourself so hard, right?
It seems that Li Na doesn't intend to be a school leader, so why work so hard?
"Elective courses, how many students will come to the class. I teach these compulsory courses and impart knowledge to those students, and my years of study are not in vain."
"Okay, if I'm going to play, it's fine on May 1st or summer vacation. I'll tell you in advance. Bring more bodyguards outside. I heard that there was a strike in France recently. It's very chaotic."
In fact, there are strikes of various sizes in Europe and the United States every year, and trade unions organize them in order to strive for more benefits.
The financial crisis has also severely hit France's industrial and financial industries. Many companies are in trouble, and layoffs and salary cuts abound.
Those workers started to go on strike. Many of them didn't understand the plight of the company at all, and felt that the management was deceiving them. Not only are they resisting pay cuts, but they are asking for pay raises, more vacation time, and more benefits, thinking they deserve them.
They don't know that many companies have been bankrupted by their own people in this way.
Originally, it was still able to operate, but with a good reduction in expenses and efforts on product sales, the business recovered within a year or two.
But workers don’t do it. They think that the euro has depreciated, inflation is happening, and their quality of life has been affected, so they should have higher wages and better benefits.
Then they shut down in protest, further exacerbating corporate woes. Some companies obviously received orders, but no one produced them, so the companies had to pay liquidated damages instead.
Feng Yu didn't know how to evaluate these situations. It seemed that the workers were fighting for their own rights and interests, but they chose the wrong time.
The management failed to communicate well with the workers, and there must be problems with the management, especially the business decision-making direction of the company. There must be a problem, otherwise, how could it lose money, and how could it rely on employee salary cuts or layoffs to tide over the difficulties? ?
The typical one here, which Feng Yu is more familiar with, is the Thomson Group, once the leader of the electrical appliance industry in North America, one of the giants in the electrical appliance industry in Europe, and one of Feng Yu's important partners.
But later, due to dissatisfaction with Feng Yu's dominant position, Thomson also had problems with Feng Yu's product development concept, and some rifts arose between the two sides.
Later, the market proved that Thomson was wrong in the development of plasma. The production efficiency of the enterprise was not high, and after the sales volume declined, it was unable to make ends meet.
They hoped that Feng Yu could help, but put on a haughty attitude, which made Feng Yu very unhappy, so he directly refused. Thomson even hopes that Feng Yu will use his influence to make Huaxia reduce the production of set-top boxes to ensure Thomson's market share.
In order to help foreign companies and restrict the development of Chinese companies, Feng Yu would only agree.
Thomson later cooperated with Sunny and Dongzhi, hoping to recover from the decline. After all, they still have many high-quality businesses, such as some sales channels, patented technologies, and so on.
As a result, Thomson was thrown away by the island country again, because Thomson's production efficiency is too low, and the labor cost is higher than that of the island country. Does it work for four days and take three days off? It seems that the working hours have not been reduced, but The efficiency is simply too low.
Thomson believes that some of the patented technologies that he has advantages have no advantages at all compared with the electronics and electrical appliances companies in the island country. Thomson's research on plasma is good, but the electronics companies in the island country are the leaders.
Dongzhi is the leader in the plasma TV industry.
In this way, Thomson once again chose a wrong path, and then went farther and farther on the wrong path, and became more and more remote. Up to now, Thomson Group has fallen into the brink of bankruptcy.
Most of their main businesses are in a loss situation, and the amount of losses is gradually increasing. At present, there is no hope of turning around.
Thomson's shareholders thought of Feng Yu at this time, and remembered their best partner. So the chairman of the Thomson Group personally called Feng Yu with sincere words, hoping that Feng Yu could visit them and give them some help.
Feng Yu will definitely not do the capital injection for Thomson. Thomson's company has a relatively large hole. If it wants to turn around, it needs at least 30 billion euros or more to be possible, and it is not 100% sure.
And the ratio of investment to return is too low to be worth it at all. If this money is invested in Fengfeng Consulting or Taihua Consulting, even if it is invested in Minsheng Bank, it can have a higher rate of return.
There are even simpler investments, such as repurchasing the stocks of companies such as Qiandu and Penguin, which can make a lot of money in two years.
Not only the rise in stock prices, but also dividends.
Feng Yu came here this time with the intention of acquiring some high-quality businesses under Thomson. After all, this was once the world's fourth largest consumer electronics manufacturer, ahead of Philips, Fengyu Electronics and others. In many industries, it is the world's top of.
Moreover, many sales companies of this company are still of high value, and the acquired sales channels can play a significant role in Europe and North America.
Also, this company has many world-class R&D centers, many factories around the world, and many joint venture shares in China.
Feng Yu is still very interested in this, just to see if the other party will open his mouth. Going with Feng Yu this time, there is also the chairman of Philips, Graed Kezilei. Philips Electronics is currently the leader of European electronics brands, and its value has already surpassed that of Nokia, Ximenzi, and Ericsson. What.
Philips is also the best partner of Taihua Holdings in Europe. Many cooperation contracts between the two parties have been signed 20 years later. This time, Philip suggested that Thomson come to Feng Yu, because Philip himself could not afford some of Thomson's business, and he wanted to join forces with Feng Yu to carve up Thomson.
Of course, this division is also limited. For some high-quality assets, some debts can be swallowed, but some non-performing assets that have no hope must also be divested, otherwise they will all be acquired, and it will become a hot potato.
The plane took off and landed, and Paris arrived. Feng Yu had a hunch that this time might be the best opportunity to expand Fengyu brand!
