Jiang Hui, who has watched famous TV dramas in island countries such as "Tokyo Love Story" and "Love World", can basically imagine the standard image of Pilson when he talks about the employees of the island country.

They all wear suits and do not change regardless of the cold or heat. White shirts, black leather shoes, dark ties, dark suits, this is the typical image of white-collar workers in island countries.

However, we must add the 30 percent to 70 percent split mentioned earlier. You must know that the Japanese island country also has white shirts and black suits, but there are all kinds of hairstyles, or bald heads, or dyed hair, or extremely short inches, if you only look at the clothes and not the head, it is easy to regard the "violent group" as an engineer, which may make irreparable mistakes on some occasions.

In his previous life, Jiang Hui's college classmates went to study in the island country after graduation, and then stayed there to work.

In addition to the "etiquette" and dress issues mentioned by Pilsen, there are many special things that may not be acceptable to everyone in the Celestial Empire.

For example, the traditional concept of island people believes that overtime is the embodiment of value and reuse in the company, so if the husband works overtime, the wife will be satisfied at home, and if the husband does not work overtime and go home early, the wife will worry that something is wrong with her husband's work.

It is true that the island company works a lot of overtime, but there is always a time when it is not necessary to work overtime, and at this time, the island employees who could have gone home early have to run to drink until midnight in order to reassure their families. And they go to drink in groups after work, for a variety of reasons.

For example, if someone retires, a new person comes, etc., there is a lot of knowledge in this.

If you look closely, you will see that this is not a private gathering of friends, but an organized activity used by the island company to strengthen the relationship of employees. Usually around Wednesday, a small officer sends a notice to employees who want to participate in the event - "On the weekend, for something, I am going to organize a party in a certain place, and I hope to participate enthusiastically." ”

Notices are usually accompanied by a map of the restaurant. Participation in activities is voluntary on the surface, but those who do not actually participate will be considered as outliers. In this way, every weekend, the restaurants in the streets and alleys of the island country are always bustling with customers, which is a golden time for them to make money.

If you think about it, it makes a lot of sense to organize such an event.

The custom of the island country is that "chickens and dogs smell each other, and old and dead do not get along", but the companies of the island country still pay the most attention to cooperation and collectivism, how to reconcile the contradictions between the two?

Going out for drinks and connecting with each other is obviously the easiest and most practical way.

As soon as the island people drink alcohol, they tear off their masks and reveal their original form, and in this kind of drinking activity, some employees who have never been related to each other have the opportunity to sit together, and they can naturally cooperate better in their future work.

There is little hope for making personal friends through this kind of activity, because it is actually a continuation of the company's business.

However, the company does not provide funds for this kind of activity that is beneficial to the company, but colleagues pay for it themselves.

This is also a strange sound.

Pilsen and Jiang Hui talked nonsense about the strange things in the island country for more than half an hour before the negotiations began to get to the point.

"Jiang, before talking about the acquisition of the Sanyo business, I would like to emphasize first that we only accept cash, and any other payment method is unacceptable, which is the premise for us to continue to talk. ”

Although Goldman Sachs was also deeply affected by the subprime mortgage crisis, the situation did not really reach the point of buying assets, but Goldman Sachs' senior management decided to deal with various assets, including Sanyo, mainly to raise enough cash.

When you have money in your hands, you don't panic in your heart,

Goldman Sachs, which is engaged in finance, knows better than anyone how important the role of cash is at critical moments.

"There is no problem, as long as all the acquisition procedures are completed, the funds of the Korn Ferry Group will be transferred to the account set by Goldman Sachs immediately. ”

For this year's feast, Jiang Hui has been preparing for a long time, so naturally he will not drop the chain in terms of funds.

Besides, if it can acquire internationally renowned enterprises such as Sanyo, the Guanghui Group will go to several major banks in the Celestial Empire to borrow money to acquire, and there must 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 established for more than 60 years, he still has a lot of patents and technology accumulation, which is very valuable to Guanghui Group. ”

"Sanyo's biggest business is the home appliance business, but as you know, with the rise of the Celestial Empire's home appliance enterprises, the market share of foreign-funded household appliance companies in the Celestial Empire has declined rapidly, and leaving the largest household appliance market of the Celestial Empire, a company like Sanyo will not last long at all.

In fact, not only Sanyo, but also the home appliance business of famous companies in island countries such as Sharp, Sony, and Panasonic, to be honest, I am not very optimistic. ”

"Although home appliances are Sanyo's largest business, Sanyo also has a very good performance in the fields of batteries and motors, especially batteries, which are basically one of the representatives of the world's high-end lithium batteries, which is very valuable for investment. Pilsen pretended to be reluctant.

For European and American companies, acquisitions, development, restructuring, and fire sales are basically the same rhythm for thousands of years.

Comparatively speaking, the enterprises of the island countries and the Celestial Empire do not like to play this set.

"Although Sanyo's battery business is also good, it is nothing more than the icing on the cake for the Korn Ferry Group, and our own ATL lithium batteries within the group sell well all over the world, including Apple, Korn Glory, Sony and other companies are in use. ”

"You may be right, but Sanyo's decades of technical experience cannot be surpassed by a new company in a short period of time. Those ordinary engineers in their forties and fifties, that is, in large enterprises like Sanyo, can be seen in large quantities, although these people do not have the level of independent resistance, but they are as conscientious as the screws of a machine. ”

Pilson's words spoke to Jiang Hui's heart.

An experienced engineer can play a huge role at critical moments, and sometimes even reduce huge losses for the company.

For example, when designing a part, an inexperienced engineer may not find out that there is a problem with the part until the part is produced, or even after it has been used in large quantities, but an experienced engineer may consider what factors will affect what content at the time of design, and avoid these influences at an early stage, so that the part can be produced very smoothly.
