Arriving at the headquarters of Thomson Group, Feng Yu felt a little sad. The Thomson Group used to be the most prosperous and lively place in this area. Countless people came to apply for jobs and discuss cooperation every day. But now, there are only a few people available and it is in a depression.
When Feng Yu arrived, Ke Cilei, chairman of Philips Group, had already arrived first. Seeing Feng Yu come in, he stood up together with Langdu, chairman of Thomson Company.
Langdu's secretary brought tea, then walked out and closed the door. There were only three big guys left in the room.
"Feng, Ke Cilei, we Thomson are in trouble. We have suffered a lot from this economic crisis. We hope to get your help."
Feng Yu waved his hand and interrupted Langdu: "I'm not here to help you, I'm here to acquire some valuable assets of your company."
If Thomson was still a partner of Taihua Holdings, then Feng Yu would naturally lend a hand. In fact, if Thomson had not broken up with Taihua Holdings, he would not have gone bankrupt today.
Langdu smiled awkwardly: "Feng, as long as you two are willing to buy our company's bonds, we can still get through this difficulty. Our Thomson brand, technology, channels, etc. are still among the best in the world, and we will still cooperate. Very enjoyable.”
"Londu, I gave you two chances. There is an old saying in China, once again, twice, never again, so I will not give you a third chance."
"To buy your company's bonds, how many bonds do you need to issue to tide over the crisis? Twenty billion euros, or thirty billion euros? How much return can these bonds bring me? My financial investment company currently maintains the industry's leading position The record of the fastest development and profits you can’t imagine, why should I buy your bonds with meager returns and even high risks?”
"If you didn't still have some valuable properties, do you think I would come here?"
Feng Yu glanced at Langdu with disdain on his face. It was this old guy's stubbornness and arrogance that ruined the cooperation between the two parties in the first place. To this point, it was only himself who was to blame.
If 20 to 30 billion euros can help Thomson Group tide over the difficulties and return to its former glory, then there is no need to invite Feng Yu. There are still many capable investors in France and Europe.
The problem is that no one thinks that if Thomson is given enough funds, it can turn a profit and become the world's top consumer electronics manufacturer again.
Not to mention last year's economic crisis, many people believe that the consumer electronics market will also decline this year. If they just want to invest, they also need to invest in Fengyu brand and Aihua brand. This is a major consumer electronics company with both strength and potential. brand.
Even investing in the island countries of Sunny and Dongzhi, or the four-star companies in South Korea are also good choices, Thomson? This is not within the scope of those investors' considerations.
Last year, Thomson also issued some additional stocks and raised some funds, thinking that it could tide over the difficulties. However, the result was that the company's operating conditions continued to deteriorate. They actually issued additional stocks to increase benefits for employees. What a stupid decision!
When the company's operating conditions are good and profits are high, it is a matter of course to increase benefits for employees. However, the company is clearly unable to make ends meet, and the funds are simply not enough. It does not want to increase revenue and reduce expenditure, but also increases the company's cost expenditure. Isn't this a suicide attempt
Maybe they have a lot of pressure, maybe they have to do it, but this has nothing to do with Feng Yu. As an ally, he has given them guidance, but they themselves are unwilling to accept it. They always think that Feng Yu wants to replace their Thomson with Feng Yu. The group's status is now too late to regret.
Look at how smart Philip is. When Philip Electronics cooperated with Feng Yu, it was only the fifth largest consumer electronics manufacturer in the world. It was inferior to Dongzhi and Suni, and was similar to Thomson. However, it was also dominated by Western companies in Europe. Wezi and Ailixin were suppressed, but at that time, Fengyu Pai, Four Stars, etc. were not ranked at all.
Now that Fengyu Brand continues to rise, Philip Electronics' ranking has declined. However, Philip is not dissatisfied because their sales and profits have increased, but they are not as rapid as Fengyu Brand.
This time Thomson is in bankruptcy. Philips has firmly established itself as the leader in European consumer electronics. Coupled with their position in the fields of home appliances, lighting and medical equipment, Philips' market value is steadily increasing. , profits have also been rising year after year, and there is no dissatisfaction.
In the past, consumer electronics may have been Philip's main source of income, but now it is almost equal to the other three main businesses, and there is nothing unpleasant about the cooperation with Feng Yu.
Feng Yu did not restrict their development in the Chinese market. As long as they helped Fengyupai and other brands expand the market in Europe, the exchange between the two parties was fair and reasonable. Look at how difficult it is for other consumer electronics or electrical appliance brands to enter the Chinese market.
Feng Yu can easily make those foreign brands unable to survive without any need for national protection. The strength lies there.
The two parties have exchanged various patents and jointly developed a variety of patented technologies. It is great for us to expand towards the Americas together. Relying on the fact that he is the leader in the North American market, Thomson does not want Feng Yu's brands to develop rapidly in the Americas, but he does not want to think about whether Thomson could have such good development in China if it were not for Feng Yu
This time Thomson is going to be finished, and Philip is very happy to see it. It just so happened that they coveted many of Thomson's assets for more than a day or two. In the past, we were partners, and we had to make appropriate concessions for some expansions. But now it's better, and we don't need to make concessions this time.
Langdu felt a bitter taste in his mouth. Feng Yu's attitude was very clear, he would never use money to help them. Although Philip's Ke Cilei didn't say anything, it was obvious that he also agreed with Feng Yu's decision.
Their previous cooperation with these two companies broke down and they turned to cooperate with Dongzhi and Sunny. But now Dongzhi and Sunny's conditions are even more stringent. If they agree, Thomson will really be finished.
I just hope that Feng Yu and Ke Cilei can remember the original love for cooperation and not go too far, so that their Thomson can be retained.
Langdu sighed, walked behind the desk, took out two documents that had been prepared long ago, and handed them to Feng Yu and Ke Cile respectively.
"Let's take a look. This is an asset that our company can currently sell. Whatever you like, let's discuss the price."
Feng Yu and Ke Cile took the documents, but did not look through them. They both placed the documents on the table and looked at each other.
Seeing this situation, Langdu's heart sank again. It's over. This is obvious. Before coming, Feng Yu had already communicated with Ke Cilei. Maybe the two of them had already figured out how to divide Thomson. Is Thomson really over
