Chapter 1908: Pros and Cons

Feng Yu nodded at Ke Cilei, and Ke Cilei said: "Langdu, we will not read these documents. We already have an acquisition target. If we agree, we will talk about it."

The implication is that if you don't agree, then you don't need to talk about it.

Langdu felt extremely aggrieved, but at this moment the situation was stronger than others, so he could only nod silently: "Please speak."

"You have seven technology research and development centers around the world, among which we are interested in the research and development centers in the United States, the United Kingdom, China, Germany, Spain and Singapore."

Langdu clenched his fists, our seven R&D centers, except our French one, you all want it together!

For a consumer electronics company like theirs, the R&D center is extremely important, and the funds invested in technology R&D account for more than 15% of the total annual revenue, and sometimes even higher.

Only by staying ahead in technology can they maintain their status. Feng Yu and Ke Cilei are really ruthless!

"Also, you have nearly forty industrial parks all over the world. Among them, we are not interested in those in the United States, the United Kingdom, and France. We can talk about the others."

The United States, the United Kingdom, and France are the most serious losses in their Thomson industrial parks. Philips and Taihua Holdings do not want them. Instead, they want to acquire their industrial parks with little or no losses. Park, what shall we do?

Langdu felt his anger rising. Do these two people really think that our Thomson is not wanted? We can't cooperate with companies in the island country, but Ximenzi and Motorola are also interested in us!

"You have many valuable brands under your banner, but we don't plan to acquire them. These are the roots of your Thomson, and we will keep them for you."

"The business related to radio, film, and TV equipment is closely related to Feng's industry. He is very interested in this. There are also your film and TV post-production, CD production and sales, etc. It would be better if they can be sold together. .”

"Your patents in many fields such as electronics, electrical appliances, communications, networks, optics, and intelligent control are also good. You will definitely not agree to this if you sell them all to us, but it should be no problem to authorize some of them to us, right?"

Since the cooperation between the two parties broke down, Thomson's patents were no longer authorized to Taihua Holdings and Philips Group. Of course, Thomson could not obtain patent authorization from these two companies.

"You have sales branches in many countries and regions around the world. This time we have suffered a bit. You have suffered the most in North America. Feng is interested in buying it. You are also suffering a serious loss in Europe, right? We Feili Pu is very interested and can take some bad debt."

"By the way, it would be even better if you could sell your joint venture shares in Huaxia. Feng can introduce Huaxia's buyers to you, so that you can get more money and save the company's plight."

"Well, that's all I can think of, Feng, is there anything else you need to add?" Ke Cilei asked relaxedly.

Feng Yu shook his head: "What you said is very good. In terms of price, we will talk slowly later."

Lang Du's teeth were about to be gritted. These two people were dividing up Thomson's assets in front of him, and it was unreasonable not to ask his opinion!

"Fon, Kezilei, I think you've made a mistake? We're talking to some creditors about a debt-for-equity swap, which would offset nearly half of our debt. We only need to take on a couple of billions of euros in debt That's it, do you think these billions of euros are going to drag us down?"

The eyes behind Ke Cilei's glasses flashed: "It's really an anecdote that the fourth-ranked consumer electronics manufacturer in the world is going to file for bankruptcy protection because of debts of billions of euros."

"I remember that when your stock price was the highest, it was more than one hundred euros, but now, your stock price is a little more than one euro, and it has not continued to fall because of the suspension of trading, otherwise it will definitely fall below one euro, and maybe you will be caught Forced delisting."

"Although not all of your assets are listed, it also proves that

Investors are not optimistic about Thomson Group. You said that there is still cash in the account, and you can continue to operate, but the operation must be profitable, and the continued operation will only bring more losses. Am I wrong? "

"You have been greatly impacted by the economic crisis. Most of the consumer electronics manufacturers in the world experienced a serious decline in sales in the second half of last year. This year is the same, and many of them even lost money. And we, Philips, happen to be one of the few that can continue to maintain both turnover and profit growth, and you happen to be the one who loses the most.”

"Think about other bankrupt companies, they didn't pay much attention when they were billions of dollars or billions of euros, and then the next quarter, the loss became tens of billions, and then doubled again, less than a year , went bankrupt."

"For example, Tongyu Automobile in the United States, once one of the top 500 companies in the world, is now planning to file for bankruptcy protection. And Ford Motor, one of the three major automobile groups in the United States, sold some of its business to Feng. The Huaxia Consortium has overcome the difficulties now, and it is expected to be able to make a normal profit next year."

"Thomson is the most famous consumer electronics brand in France. It seems to have a lot of state-owned shares, right? And your French state-owned assets seem to have no money to continue to invest. They think that those are more important when investing in postal services and telecommunications. What you are looking for Other buyers, who can come up with so much cash? It will take a long time for them to negotiate, and then conduct a detailed assessment. By the time you actually trade, I am afraid it will be the end of the year. At that time, the assets you sold will be enough Is it enough to fill the funding hole? Is it enough to make you turn around?"

"We are different. Everyone knows better. We can make concessions in some places, and even bear some debts. We can complete the acquisition of some of your assets as quickly as possible. If your French government approves quickly, Maybe it won't be used for two months, and you can get a lot of money."

"Don't forget, you have already violated the debt contract. This time, you will not be able to issue stocks normally, and no one will be willing to buy the bonds issued. Moreover, the conditions we can offer cannot be offered by other companies. .Well, you think about it, when will we talk about the price?"

Ke Cilei's eloquent tongue exposed all the circumstances that the Thomson Group was desperately trying to cover up, and directly put the matter on the table for discussion.

The pros and cons have been clearly stated, Thomson Group has no choice at this time.

It was because of this time that the Thomson Group in the previous life fell into a slump and never regained its glory. Now Feng Yu and the others have given Thomson another choice to see if they are willing to accept it.
