Chapter 882: It's Better To Be Famous
Jiang Hui, who has watched famous TV series from island countries such as "Tokyo Love Story" and "Love World", talks about Bilson's standard image of the employees of the island country company, basically he can imagine it by closing his eyes.
They all wear suits, regardless of the cold and summer seasons. White shirts, black leather shoes, dark ties, and dark suits are typical images of white-collar workers in the island country.
However, the 30% vs. 70% of the head mentioned above must be added. You should know that Japan's island countries also have white shirts and black suits, but they are all kinds of styles, either bald, dyed, or extremely short buzz cuts. If you only look at the clothes and not the head, it is easy to regard the "violent group" as an engineer. In some cases, you may make irreparable mistakes.
Jiang Hui's college classmate in his previous life went to study in the island country after graduation and then stayed there to work. Jiang Hui also heard him complain about many strange things about enterprises in the island country.
In addition to the "ritual" and dressing issues mentioned by Bilson, there are many more special things that may not be acceptable to everyone in the Heavenly Kingdom.
For example, the traditional concept of the island people believes that overtime is valuable in the company and is valued and valued. Therefore, if the husband works overtime, his wife will be satisfied and obedient at home. If the husband does not work overtime, he will be worried that his husband will have problems in his work, such as losing his parents and being in a panic all day long.
Island companies do work overtime, but there are always times when there is no need to work overtime. At this time, island employees who could have returned home early had to go to drink until midnight in order to make their families feel at ease. And after get off work, they went to drink in groups of three or five, and the reasons were also diverse.
For example, if someone retires, a newcomer comes, etc., the knowledge here will be great.
After careful observation, it will be revealed that this is not a gathering of private friends, but an organized activity used by island companies to enhance the relationship between employees. Usually around Wednesday, a small officer will notify employees who want to participate in the event - "On the weekend, for something, I will prepare to organize a gathering, the place is in a certain place, and I hope to participate enthusiastically."
The restaurant map is usually attached with the notification. On the surface, the activities are voluntarily participated, but in fact, those who do not participate will be regarded as aliens. In this way, every weekend, the restaurants in the streets and alleys of the island country are always bustling with guests, which is a golden time for them to make money.
If you think about it carefully, it makes sense to organize such activities.
The custom of the island country is "chicken and dogs hear each other, and never interact with each other when they die of old age", but the companies in the island country also pay the most attention to cooperation and collectivism. How to reconcile the contradictions between the two?
It is obviously the easiest and most practical way to go out to drink and connect with each other.
When people in the islands drink, they will tear off their masks and reveal their true colors. In this kind of drinking activity, some employees who have never had any relationship have the opportunity to sit together, so they can naturally cooperate better in their work in the future.
There is basically no need to expect to make private friends through this kind of activity, because this is actually a continuation of the company's business.
However, the company will not spend money on such activities that are beneficial to the company, but instead work with colleagues to make up their own funds.
This is also a weird thing.
Bilson and Jiang Hui talked about the weird things about the island country for about half an hour before the negotiations officially began to get to the point.
"Jiang, before talking about acquiring Sanyo's business, I would like to emphasize first that we only accept cash, and any other payment method is unacceptable. This is the premise for us to continue talking about it."
Although Goldman Sachs was also far-reachingly affected by the subprime mortgage crisis, the situation was not really at the point of buying assets. However, Goldman Sachs' senior executives decided to deal with various assets, including Sanyo, with the main purpose of raising enough cash.
If you have money in your hands, you won’t feel panic.
Goldman Sachs, who is engaged in finance, knows more than anyone else how effective cash is at critical moments.
"There is no problem. As long as all the acquisition procedures are completed, Guanghui Group's funds will be immediately transferred to the account set by Goldman Sachs."
For this year's feast, Jiang Hui has been preparing for a long time, so he will naturally not lose his money.
Besides, if we can acquire internationally renowned companies like Sanyo, Guanghui Group will go to the Tianchao to acquire loans, and there will be no problem.
"To be honest, although Sanyo's performance in the past two years has not been so satisfactory, as a veteran electrical appliance company that has been established for more than 60 years, it still has a lot of patents and technology accumulation, which is very valuable to Guanghui Group."
"Sanyo's largest business is home appliance business, but you also know that with the rise of Tianchao's home appliance companies, the market share of foreign-funded home appliance companies in Tianchao has dropped rapidly. Without Tianchao's largest home appliance market, companies like Sanyo can't last long.
In fact, it is not only Sanyo, but also the home appliance business of famous island companies such as Sharp, Sony, and Panasonic. To be honest, I am not very optimistic about it."
"Although home appliances are Sanyo's largest business, Sanyo also has very good performance in the fields of batteries, motors, etc., especially batteries, which are basically one of the representatives of high-end lithium batteries in the world, and are of great investment value. If the headquarters didn't want to raise more cash, I would have been reluctant to sell their shares." Bilson pretended to be reluctant to leave.
For European and American companies, acquisitions, exhibitions, restructurings, and sale, this is basically a constant pace for thousands of years.
Relatively speaking, companies from island countries and the Celestial Empire do not like to play this game.
"Although Sanyo's battery business is also good, for Guanghui Group, it is nothing more than icing on the cake. The lithium batteries produced by our own At1 are sold well around the world, including Apple, Guanghui Mobile, Sony and other companies."
"Maybe you are right, but Sanyo's decades of technical experience accumulated cannot be surpassed by a new company in a short time. Those ordinary engineers in their forties and fifties, that is, in large enterprises like Sanyo, can be seen in large enterprises. Although these people do not have the ability to stand alone, they are the most diligent work as a screw of a machine."
Bilson's words meant Jiang Hui's heart.
An experienced engineer plays a huge role at critical moments, and sometimes it can reduce huge losses to the company.
For example, when designing a certain part, an inexperienced engineer may not find any problems with the parts until the parts are produced or even used in large quantities; but an experienced engineer may consider what factors will affect what contents when designing, and avoid these influences in the early stage, so that the parts can be produced very smoothly.
