Chapter 916: A Different 2008
Yang Yan has always been very cold in the eyes of the employees of the European branch of Korn Ferry Group.
Looking at Yang Yan, who was standing at the pick-up desk at Frankfurt Airport, with a smile on her face, Fanny had several questions in her heart: "I heard that Mr. Yang and Mr. Jiang knew each other when they were in college, and their friendship is very unusual, it seems that there is a story in it." ”
"Mr. Yang, you can find out on the APP that Mr. Jiang's plane has landed on time, and I estimate that it should come out in about ten minutes. ”
Fanny swiped the Gphone in her hand to confirm the dynamics of Jiang Hui's flight at any time.
Fortunately, the flight was very punctual, and Jiang Hui didn't let everyone wait too long to appear at the exit of the airport.
A large number of people left the airport quickly in a slip of Jaguar, and because there were too many people on the scene, Jiang Hui and Yang Yan also chatted a few words and got into the car together.
"You've lost weight!"
For a girl, this can be regarded as a compliment. ”
……
In the next period of time, Jiang Hui was basically accompanied by Yang Yan to visit the intended enterprises screened in advance, visiting, exchanging, negotiating, and arguing......
The subprime mortgage crisis has not yet reached its deepest point, and these companies are still holding on, but only for a few more months. In the eyes of the shareholders of these companies, the global economic situation is not good, and the Korn Ferry Group is still willing to offer a more sincere price, why not sell?
Nothing can't be sold, as long as your price is high enough.
At this time, Europe and the United States were not so vigilant against the Celestial Empire, as long as you don't move other sensitive enterprises, such as fighter jet manufacturing companies, the obstacles are very low.
Of course, if you're going to move an enterprise of Intel's level, you're going to do it......
Jiang Hui stayed in Europe until the beginning of August before returning to China, although most of the companies have not yet officially signed a contract, but there are already more than a dozen interested companies are only the last step. Presumably, when the rumors of Lehman's bankruptcy come later, it will be time for the Korn Kwai Group to close the net.
After this closing, the industrial sector of Guanghui Group can be regarded as a solid foundation. Whether it is KUKA or Chemetral, whether it is FESCO or Würth, the pump is the weakest industrial part of the Korn Ferry Group.
Although the automotive industry has developed so far, OEMs have given up the plan of doing everything themselves, but if they really rely on suppliers for everything, then don't expect to grow and grow.
……
The 2008 Imperial Capital Olympics is undoubtedly an unsurpassed one in the history of the Olympic Games, and many foreign netizens shouted after watching it: Let other countries (in the future) hold the Olympic Games!
Because it is so perfect, it is difficult to surpass it, whether it is abroad or abroad, the 08 Olympic Games have been unanimously praised, and it is true!
Jiang Hui, who was sitting in the box of the Bird's Nest, looked at the colorful flames and watched the beautiful performance, although he had seen it on TV in his previous life, but the feeling was completely different from that of the scene.
"I can't imagine how crazy the people at the London Organising Committee are right now. They raise the Olympic bar too high. They must have thought to themselves that they might as well have lost to New York. The sho of the Celestial Empire is already more perfect than perfect. Now it's up to them to see if they can finish first in the medal table. ”
"In terms of culture, the Celestial Empire does have an advantage. When we Europeans still lived in caves, the people of the Celestial Empire had already lived a refined and civilized life thousands of years before us. The Celestial Empire culture is the oldest and most continuous culture on Earth. Although we have been surpassed by technology in recent centuries, I believe that they will become the biggest economic power in the 21st century. ”
"We can only marvel at the pride and economic strength that the Imperial Capital Olympics showcased. How can Western countries gather their economic strength to hold such a spectacular event? That's the message they're trying to get on to us, isn't it?"
……
This Olympic Games made European and American countries really realize that the Celestial Empire has risen! The Celestial Empire is no longer the country where the streets are full of bicycles! The Celestial Empire is no longer the country where there is no way to solve the problem of food and clothing.
Although we still claim to be a developing country, the construction of large cities is no worse than that of developed countries.
Of course, this is mainly about hardware!
The Olympic Games of the Celestial Empire brought a feast to the world, but it did not have the slightest effect on easing the subprime mortgage crisis.
15 September 2008
Lehman Brothers, the fourth-largest investment bank in the United States, fell into a severe financial crisis and announced that it had filed for bankruptcy protection, and an even more serious financial crisis came.

……
This far-reaching crisis has finally shown her greatest destructive power!
The more destructive the power, the more opportunities there are for Korn Ferry Group!
Short Sale! Short Sale!
Buy, buy, buy!
Although companies are acquired by the Korn Ferry Group every week, the dollar in the hands of the Korn Ferry Group is not falling but increasing, if it were not for the taboo of being liquidated by the US government afterwards, the Korn Ferry Group could have done it a little more hateful, instead of standing behind the Wall Street giants and drinking some soup like now.
"Korn Ferry Group Acquires Analog Devices Semiconductor"
Korn Ferry Group acquires Getrag
"Korn Ferry Group Acquires DSI Automatic Transmission"
Korn Ferry Group acquires KUKA of Germany
Korn Ferry Acquires BorgWarner
……
In just half a year from 2008 to early 2009, Korn Ferry Group acquired more than 30 European and American companies such as auto parts, mobile phone parts, and industrial equipment.
This is still not counting some of the other companies acquired by the subsidiaries themselves, if they all add up, even if there are not a hundred, there are eighty or ninety.
All of a sudden, the Celestial Empire has become the most exposed enterprise in the Celestial Empire and even in the world, and all financial media in the Celestial Empire have taken the news related to the Celestial Empire as the headline.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Guanghui Group finally officially entered the real estate industry, and then the opportunity of the sharp drop in land prices, Guanghui Group enclosed land everywhere throughout the country, thousands of acres and thousands of acres.
The economic development of the Celestial Empire has made it difficult to simply enclose land, but if you act together in combination with the layout of the enterprise, the difficulty is unbelievable.
Guanghui Automobile, Guanghui Mobile Phone, and various acquisition companies have built factories in various parts of the Celestial Empire......
This has been accompanied by the continuous increase in the number of land banks of the Korn Ferry Group.
A thousand acres!
Five thousand acres!
10,000 acres!
20,000 acres!
……
The price of land in 2008, looking at it ten years later, is almost like free. With these places, even if the Guanghui Group takes a few wrong steps, it will not hurt the muscles and bones!
