"Are you going to the United States again?" Li Na asked while packing Feng Yu's things.
"We're going to the United States, but we're going to France first this time. Do you want to take a few days off and go to Paris with me?"
"Forget it. Recently, many students in school have not signed a job contract yet. They still have graduation thesis to be tutored, and I also have two reports to submit."
"Honey, why are you working so hard? It's great to teach some elective courses. It's easy and there's not much responsibility." Li Na likes to be a teacher. Feng Yu doesn't object, but there's no need to make herself work so hard, right
It seems that Li Na has no intention of becoming a school leader, so why is she still working so hard to improve
"Elective courses, how many students are coming to class? If I teach these required courses and impart knowledge to those students, my years of study will not be in vain."
"Okay, if I want to go out for fun, it can be on May Day or during the summer vacation. I'll let you know in advance then. Bring more bodyguards outside. I heard that there's been a strike in France recently, and it's very chaotic."
In fact, there are strikes of varying sizes in Europe and the United States every year, organized by labor unions in order to strive for more benefits.
The financial crisis has also severely hit France's industrial and financial sectors. Many companies are in trouble, and layoffs and salary cuts are everywhere.
Those workers began to go on strike. Many of them did not understand the plight of the company at all, and felt that the management was deceiving them. Not only did they resist salary cuts, they also demanded salary increases, more vacations, and more benefits, believing that they deserved them.
What they don't know is that many companies have been bankrupted by their own people.
It could still be operating. If we cut down expenses and work hard on product sales, the company would recover within a year or two.
But the workers don't do it. They think that the euro has devalued, inflation is happening, and their quality of life has been affected, so their wages should be increased and they should have better benefits.
They then stopped work in protest, further exacerbating the company's woes. Some companies have clearly received orders, but no one is producing, so the company has to pay liquidated damages.
Feng Yu didn’t know how to evaluate these situations. Workers fought for their own rights and interests, which seemed to be right, but they chose the wrong time period.
If the management failed to communicate well with the workers, there must be something wrong with the management, especially the direction of the company's business decisions. Otherwise, how could there be losses, and how could the company rely on salary cuts or layoffs to tide over the difficulties?
One of the more typical ones here, and one that Feng Yu is familiar with, is the Thomson Group, the former leader of the North American electrical appliance industry, one of the giants of the European electrical appliance industry, and one of Feng Yu's important partners.
But later, Thomson was dissatisfied with Feng Yu's dominant position and had problems with Feng Yu's product development concept, and some discord arose between the two parties.
Later, the market proved that Thomson's development in plasma was wrong. The company's production efficiency was not high, and after sales declined, it was unable to make ends meet.
They hoped that Feng Yu could help, but they acted arrogantly, which made Feng Yu very unhappy, so he refused directly. Thomson even hopes that Feng Yu will use his influence to make China 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 if he was mentally retarded.
Thomson later cooperated with Su Ni, Dong Zhi, etc., hoping to reverse the decline. After all, they still have many high-quality businesses, such as some sales channels, patented technologies, etc.
As a result, Thomson was once again thrown away by the island country's enterprises, because Thomson's production efficiency was too low, and labor costs were higher than those in the island country. Do they work four days and have three days off? It seems that the working hours have not been reduced, but The efficiency is really too low.
Some of the patented technologies that Thomson believes have advantages have no advantage at all compared with the electronic and electrical appliance companies of the island countries. Thomson's research on plasma is good, but the electronic companies of the island countries are the leaders. Dongzhicai He is the leader in the plasma TV industry.
In this way, Thomson once again chose a wrong path, and then went further and further down the wrong road, going more and more remote. Until now, Thomson Group has been on the verge of bankruptcy.
Most of their main businesses have fallen into a loss-making situation, and the amount of losses is gradually increasing. There is currently no hope of turning around.
Thomson's shareholders now thought of Feng Yu and their best partner. So the chairman of Thomson Group personally called Feng Yu and expressed his sincere words, hoping that Feng Yu could visit them and give them some help.
Feng Yu would definitely not inject capital into Thomson. Thomson is in a big hole. If it wants to turn around, it will require at least 30 billion euros. It is not 100% sure.
Moreover, the ratio of investment to return is too low, making it completely uneconomical. If this money is invested in Fengyu Consulting or Taihua Consulting, or even in Minsheng Bank, it will have a higher rate of return.
There are even simpler investments, such as repurchasing stocks of Qiandu, Penguin and other companies, and you can make a lot of money in two years.
Not only the stock price rises, but also the dividends.
Feng Yu came here this time with the intention of acquiring some high-quality businesses from Thomson. After all, this was once the fourth largest consumer electronics manufacturer in the world, ahead of Philips and Fengyu Electronics. In many industries, it was the world's top of.
Moreover, many of this company's sales companies are of high value. The acquired sales channels can play a significant role in Europe and North America.
In addition, 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 can speak like a lion. Along with Feng Yu this time, there is also Philips Chairman Greed Kozilei. Philips Electronics is currently the leader of European electronics brands, and its value has already surpassed that of Elekia, Ximenzi, and Ericsson. What.
Philips is also the best partner of Taihua Holdings in Europe. Many cooperation contracts between the two parties were signed twenty years later. This time it was Philip who suggested that Thomson come to Feng Yu, because Philip himself could not handle some of Thomson's business, and he wanted to join forces with Feng Yu to divide Thomson.
Of course, this division is also limited. Some debts can be swallowed up for some high-quality assets, but some bad assets with no hope must also be divested. Otherwise, if they are all acquired, they 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 the storm card!
