Chapter 1116： head start

Chapter 1116 Headline

Immelt's hands froze, and the cutlery was hanging on the steak. Seeing that Alcatel Group was acquired, it was not beyond his expectations, but seeing that Alcatel Group was acquired at a price of less than tens of billions of dollars, it was a big deal. Immelt was heartbroken.

In this wave, speaking of it, General Electric took the lead. On the grounds of improper transactions between Alstom and General Electric, America opened an investigation against Alstom and the French giant.

General Electric has no doubt that it has eaten a big cake, swallowing 70% of Alstom's business in one go, becoming the world's largest electrical group, and making General Electric faintly return to the top!

Correspondingly, the French and old European media, who have come to their senses, look back at the deal between General Electric and Alstom, and they will inevitably have a question. Is this deal a loss for Alstom, or is it Forced to sell to General Electric under pressure from America? !

Some conspiracy theorists even began to secretly speculate whether this storm centered on Alstom was created by General Electric. Who else but General Electric? !

Anything comes at a price. When it is taken away, the price has actually been marked secretly. If General Electric eats up Alstom, it is doomed to bear those rumors, speculations and... notoriety.

Immelt will also bear the infamy of domineering, unscrupulous, executioner, and the dirtiest professional manager in history. Telecom, but without anyone noticing it, devoured the French Alcatel Group. When there was not even a scum left, he lost his appetite in an instant.

Immelt felt that he seemed to be used as a gun again, just like the cooperation between General Electric and ICQ back then. He did all the dirty work, scolded him, beat him badly, and finally Not a single hair was left!

Now the world's financial, financial, and even current affairs media are paying attention to the Alstom incident, because the heat is too high. In contrast, the news that Alcatel Group was also acquired seems a bit "quiet". voice".

Just like the people who eat melons eat two big melons in a row, when they eat the first big melon, there are all kinds of excitement, anticipation, Sherlock Holmes possessed, and they keep checking the latest news day and night. .

When I ate the second big melon, I got a little tired. Although this melon is also big, if I didn’t see the first big melon, it was worth eating the big melon, but after eating the first One, if you eat the second one, you will be a little full, and the people who eat melons will be tired too, okay?

The Alcatel Group belongs to this second big melon. On weekdays, it is also a big news that shakes the world, enough to make headlines in various countries. But after seeing the news of the acquisition of the Alcatel Group, although some people call , but compared to the popularity of Alstom, it is simply not the same.

In addition, the media group in the hands of Song Yang is also diverting attention, continuing to release various insider news about Alstom, diverting the attention of the people who eat melons away from Alcatel Group, Immelt For sure, the outside world may not keep too much attention on Alcatel Group!

Now, the bad feeling at the beginning shrouded him again, causing Immelt to feel a shadow in his heart, giving birth to some bad premonitions.

Taking a deep breath, Immelt felt that although he may have to bear the infamy, the cooperation with Song Yang should be worthless in the end. Song Yang has no electrical, turbine and other businesses. Steal those businesses from GE?

Although I feel that the same mistakes should not be repeated, Immelt has no intention of eating the top-quality steak that was airlifted from Argentina in his hand. Immelt, with a gloomy face, is about to return to General Electric. Alston, there are still a lot of things waiting for him to deal with.

If Alstom cannot be digested, this deal is not a candied fruit for General Electric, but arsenic, which will continue to cause General Electric to lose blood, cost General Electric a lot of dollars and resources, and finally become A big hole that can't be filled, and even the entire General Electric was pulled into the big hole!

Regardless of whether there are any conspiracy theories, or whether Song Yang dug a hole for him, the most important thing in front of Immelt is still Alstom's business, and everything else is just a petty head. The foundation, power, worth, status, etc. all come from General Electric, and he knows what is most important now.

Of course Immelt wants revenge, wants to teach someone a lesson, but Immelt is patient enough, he knows when to do something, as long as GE is back to the top, then everything can be taken back in the end!

When the media is reporting the news of Alstom’s starving acquisition, the news of Alcatel Group’s acquisition also appeared in front of the world.

"This is a plunder against France!"

When Alstom was acquired, there were also whitewashed French media who excused those who dealt with the Alstom incident, thinking that it solved a crisis for France.

But the Alcatel Group was also acquired, and the French media was a little silent. The jewel and crown of French industry were snatched away overnight.

Many French conservative media are swearing that this is a robbery by America against France, and even the French conservative media reported pessimistically, "This is a tragedy for France. From now on, the French technology industry will no longer exists..."

The facts are indeed true. The Alstom incident not only caused France to lose the two major groups of Alstom and Alcatel, but also countless Wall Street institutions headed by Goldman Sachs enjoyed this gluttonous feast. Taking advantage of the opportunity, they crazily shorted France. Companies big and small.

The stock prices of many French companies began to collapse, and the capital chain was broken and closed directly. Wall Street institutions and investment banks bought these French companies at cabbage prices, and then sold them to other companies at high prices. A crop of leeks!

After the Alstom incident, the most direct reaction is that the French stock market has undergone earth-shaking changes. Those technology stocks and industrial stocks disappeared without a trace on the Paris Stock Exchange, and they were replaced by LVMH Group The market value surpassed that of Airbus, officially ascending to the throne of the largest company in France by market value!

Following the LVMH Group, the stock prices of luxury companies such as Hermes, L’Oreal, and Kering Group have also skyrocketed. Among the top ten companies in France’s latest market capitalization, luxury groups accounted for half of the country. Even Airbus’s ranking , they are about to fall out of the ranks of France's top ten market capitalization companies. It is conceivable that the current French technology industry is in a state of panic!

No one is a fool. When seeing the end of the two major groups Alstom and Alcatel, leeks dare to buy stocks in other French technology companies. Are they really afraid that the stocks they buy will repeat the same fate as Alstom? !

In contrast, luxury companies, which seem to be a gambling industry, are somewhat reliable. After all, luxury companies such as LVMH Group, Hermès, and L’Oreal harvest leeks from all over the world. If America is sold, it can also be sold in Asia, the Middle East, Africa and other places. No matter how long America's hands are, it can't control the purchase of luxury goods in these places!

In these places, compared with America, the consumption power must be much lower, but correspondingly, luxury brands such as LVMH Group have higher premium rights in these emerging luxury areas, in other words, the profits are higher. Just need them to slowly develop the market.

After the Alstom incident, it was visible to the naked eye that the stock prices of luxury brands in France and other parts of old Europe skyrocketed. Numerous old European consortiums, investment institutions, and leeks all scrambled for the shares of the LVMH Group. It is estimated that even the president of the LVMH Group, Bernard Arnott would never have imagined that one day, he would become the richest man in France and even Europe in this way!

Correspondingly, after Alstom and Alcatel were cut off, the frightened French and European technology companies and traditional companies all began to run away one after another. Many of these companies ran to America, but there were also a large number The company relocated to Asia, especially Yanjing, Pengcheng, and Singapore, which made these places eat a lot of fat. The old Europe fell, and it was possible to feed the whole world...
