"Boss, Thomson is too ungrateful. You reminded them that there were operational problems, but they ignored them at all. Now that there is a problem, they are so arrogant even if they want our help!" Wu Zhigang looked displeased.
Your selling price is so high, why should we buy it? If you want to provide us with a low-interest loan, we must get some benefits, right? We want to buy some of your patented technology licenses, but you refuse right away. Is this our fault
Feng Yu waved his hand: "It's normal. Some people are like this. When they fail, they never think about why they failed. Instead, they think that others did not help and blame all the mistakes on others."
"Help is a matter of friendship, not an obligation. We are just allies, not partners. At the beginning, we were just a simple alliance to jointly fight against the powerful consumer electronics companies in the island country."
"Now, although the consumer electronics companies in the island country are still so strong, we have already become the first group. Without Thomson, we still have strong partners such as Philips and Tata Electronics. The same is true for Thomson. We are not there, but it is not that there are no other companies willing to ally with them, so they are still relatively tough.”
Between enterprises, what is always pursued is interests, not favors. The more shareholders there are, the more difficult it is to do favors. Just because you have a good relationship with others does not mean that other shareholders are willing to pay.
A skinny camel is bigger than a horse. Although Thomson is destined to lose money this year, he may not be able to tide over the difficulties. In his previous life, Thomson was involved in bankruptcy, but who knows if things will change in this life
Once Thomson turns around and cooperates with other former competitors, it is not impossible to revive with some of their cutting-edge technologies. But first, they need a strong man to cut off their wrists, and they need to reorganize their business and factories first.
"Boss, many of Thomson's sales channels are very powerful. Breaking up with them will have a great impact on the sales of many of our products." Wu Zhigang was a little worried.
"The impact is inevitable, but it is nothing more than slowing down our expansion. Without Thomson's sales channels, will our products be unsalable? Fu Guangzheng was in Europe during this period, but he made many contacts Partners, even if they don’t ally with us, we will still be able to continue to prosper!”
The Fu family itself is known for its retail business. This is their family's traditional business, and it is also the business that allowed their family to rise. During this period, Feng Yu and the others were making waves in the financial market, but Fu Guangzheng was not idle either. He traveled around many countries in Europe and signed many cooperation contracts.
Some are old partners renewing their contracts, and some are newly developed partners. Feng Yu and the others have more partners. Without Thomson, a powerful partner, there will be an impact, but it won't be too big.
Fu Guangzheng also has shares in Taihua Holdings and many of its subsidiaries. He is also one of the vice presidents of Taihua Holdings Group. Fu Guangzheng will also find ways to solve these problems, not to mention that it can also bring troubles to the Fu family. Few benefits.
Wu Zhigang hesitated and said: "Boss, President Kameda told us a piece of news. The reporting on this matter by the island country is very detrimental to us."
The cooperation between Thomson and Taihua Holdings was terminated, and the two parties parted ways, which made the giants in the consumer electronics field of the island country smile from ear to ear.
It is definitely a good thing for them that their competitors are getting weaker. Especially without Thomson's help, they seemed to see that Fengyu Electronics and others were in trouble in sales in North America.
After all, Thomson is the leader in the North American home appliance market, and its sales channels are very strong. Fengyu Electronics has relied on it in the past.
Now that they are separated, what will happen to the sales of Fengyu Electronics and others in North America? Looking for sales channels again? Or build it yourself? No matter which one it is, it will slow down the expansion of Fengyu Electronics.
Sini is the happiest company, and Norio Ohga even publicly declared that he will become the leader in the field of consumer electronics in the North American market this year.
Although the U.S. economy has been hit, its spending power is still strong, and what a great opportunity this is. Becoming a market leader will also be of great benefit to their brand promotion.
Feng Yu simply committed suicide. Such a good opportunity to expand his market share in North America was wasted.
If Thomson wants to sell some business, he can propose that it must include sales channels in the North American market. If he takes them all, the Storm Card will inevitably become more powerful. Feng Yu made a miscalculation this time.
Norio Ohga even thought that Feng Yu was too arrogant. He thought that Feng Yu Pai could still sell well in North America after getting rid of Thomson
They clearly understand how important a complete sales channel is. No matter how good the advertising is and the brand awareness is high, it is still useless without the support of sales channels.
Consumers want to buy your product, but they can’t, so how much money do they make
If the sales channels are good enough, even if the advertising is average and the brand awareness is average, the product can still sell well.
For example, if your product can appear in all possible retail outlets, then as long as others pass by, they can see the trademark of your product, which may be more effective than TV advertising.
Feng Yu stopped cooperating with Thomson, and Suini and others began to negotiate with Thomson when Thomson took the initiative to contact him. Of course, the conditions they offered at this time were also extremely harsh.
Thomson Company, which has lost some allies, is obviously in decline. When they are in urgent need of money, how can Sunny and other companies not severely lower the conditions
After Feng Yu learned that Thomson planned to cooperate with companies from the island country, he looked disdainful. Thomson's choice was wrong again!
The island nation itself is the world's most powerful consumer electronics group, and Thomson's technology and channels can only be the icing on the cake. If it was two years ago, everyone could still say that there was a strong alliance, but now, Thomson is already in a weak position because his lack of funds is known to the island country's companies.
Cooperating with companies from island countries is a typical case of seeking skin from a tiger. If you succeed, you will naturally be able to get out of trouble, but the biggest possibility is to be swallowed by the other party.
In his previous life, Thomson was really dragged down when he was in contact with island companies and planned to cooperate or sell some businesses.
Companies in the island country have always said they are sincere, but they cannot provide some sincerity conditions. After Thomson lowered the conditions, the companies on the island country lowered the conditions again.
After just one or two years of delay, the Thomson Company, which was still saved, suddenly filed for bankruptcy protection. In the end, a powerful brand declined.
In this life, Thomson chose this path again, so the result will not change much. Thomson is going to be cheated, and he will be cheated miserably.
Perhaps only after being cheated, Thomson will understand what a big mistake it was to announce his departure from the alliance formed by Feng Yu!
