Because Fan Wuxian was suspicious of the Kodak acquisition case, he began to collect more in-depth materials to conduct an in-depth analysis of the entire acquisition case, and the original six people involved in the matter also increased to 20 people to discuss the matter.

The conclusion is that the actual significance of this acquisition is nothing more than that Kodak actually spent less than 200 million US dollars to achieve a three-year monopoly position in China's film industry, in an attempt to completely drive Fuji out of the Chinese market at the cost of this, making itself the sole hegemon in the Chinese market.

"It's a bit unkind to do that." Fan Wuxian had maintained a relatively positive attitude towards this matter before, but after seeing the actual details of the acquisition, he was a little unhappy.

No wonder this matter can be talked about for several years, mainly because the conditions inside are too outrageous, and I don't know what Boss Zhu thinks, this matter is really not a good thing, if you only look at the appearance of the glossy, you may think that there is nothing, but after noticing the inside story, you will only feel disgusted by this matter, and very disgusted by Kodak's sinister intentions.

Fan Wuxian investigated more information, and only then did he find out that Ye Ying joined Kodak, mainly because of Pei Xuede, the president of Kodak. Before becoming the president of Kodak, Pei Xuede was the president of Motorola, and he invited Ye Ying to join Motorola, but was refused.

At that time, Ye Ying had just been appointed by the U.S. government. Appointed as Minister Commercial Counselor, she has also had a smooth journey in the position of Minister Commercial Counselor, and has done a very good job, and her car can freely enter and exit China's major central institutions, including Zhongnanhai, and her government relations can be seen.

Later, Pei Xuede joined Kodak and again. invited, Ye Ying did not refuse again.

Although Ye Ying has repeatedly claimed that it joined Ke. Da had nothing to do with her own government connections, but her government connections clearly played a major role in the deal, as the negotiation of the Kodak acquisition agreement itself was a classic government-related operation.

Now, the negotiations have been going on for four years, and the project involves six . provinces and cities, ten cities and four ministries. The first is that with Kodak's efforts, the central government set up a central coordination group for this project last year, which is composed of government officials from two committees and three ministries. At the same time, the research report on Kodak's industry-wide joint venture model, commissioned by Kodak and written by the Research Center for Transnational Corporations of the Ministry of Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation, has to a great extent dispelled the misgivings of political and academic circles about this model.

After discovering these two points, Fan Wuxi gasped. Dao Pei Xuede's finding of Ye Ying is really a stroke of genius, and with Ye Ying's own in-depth understanding of the essence of Chinese officialdom, he can handle this kind of industry-wide acquisition case.

It is said that after Ye Ying joined Kodak, she set up a twenty. She is very clear that in the gradual reform of China's economy, multinational companies want to successfully win the Chinese market, they have to ask the Chinese government, and the government is not abstract, but composed of officials who hold authority, government relations are actually a kind of official relationship, to get the government, you must first get the main officials, or, plus some experts and scholars.

Of course she does things too. is well versed in the way of China, although she knows very well that in doing business in China, government relations are the key to success, but many times can be put on the table in a grand manner, it cannot be government relations, otherwise it will be bad. Multinational corporations originally came to China with the first and only purpose of making money, but on many occasions it cannot be said that they came to make money.

Based on these realizations, she has repeatedly looked for opportunities and suitable ways to express her desire to be close to China and serve China. For example, Kodak's public relations department once found six yellow-skinned Chinese scientists in all Kodak companies, some born in Taiwan, some in Hong Kong, and some even in the United States, and could not even speak Chinese.

But Ye Ying arranged for them all to speak in Chinese. It means that Kodak products are designed by Chinese and produced in China, and Kodak is Kodak of Chinese. What's even more interesting is that all Kodak factories in China are planted with Chinese flags, almost all of them are Chinese employees, and the slogan is that Kodak is a Chinese company.

After Fan Wuxi read these investigation reports clearly, he couldn't help but rub the corners of his forehead, and he already knew in his heart that if nothing happened to this case, it should be an ironclad matter, although the entire Chinese film industry was sold as a whole, but no one would stand up and say anything disagree.

The reasons for this are also many, first of all, the film industry is actually a chicken rib industry, although the market involved is not small, but there are not many people involved, so the government dares to do experiments, and secondly, Kodak has carried out in-depth public relations from both officialdom and academia, and there is no room for turnover.

Although Fan Wuxi knows the doorway in this case very well, he can't help but show respect to Ye Ying, being able to do business to this extent has basically reached the point where he is lightweighted and clumsy, and if such a talent is put in his own company, it must be justified by a senior vice president.

Officials and businessmen, officials and businessmen, in China, officials are always in front of businessmen, is the premise, is the foundation, can not handle the officialdom, naturally can not play the shopping mall, in fact, if it is not for their own special experience, simply relying on commercial strength to build such a large industry in the country, it is also a bit unrealistic.

"I guess I've made a lot of people feel uneasy by coming in with a stick, right?" Fan Wuxi touched his nose, a little undecided.

There are many ways to mess up this matter, but it is not worth it to do it for yourself at all, and it will offend a large group of bureaucrats for yourself and your father.

Besides, the reason why Ye Ying can be at ease in China is largely due to her grasp of China's political and economic situation and the opportunity for China's retreat to the ocean and the successful operation of government relations.

Since the 80s, in order to attract foreign investment and introduce advanced technology and management concepts, the domestic government has provided foreign direct investors with more preferential treatment than domestic enterprises, that is, super-national treatment, which has made a large number of foreign-funded enterprises enter like tigers and wolves, and quickly occupy a large area of the Chinese market.

However, with the fundamental change in the situation of domestic capital shortage, this technological spillover effect of foreign capital has not met expectations, and while they have remitted a large amount of profits abroad, the advanced core technology has not remained.

For example, since the joint venture of China's automobile industry, a high-tech car has not been developed, and the streets are full of OEM cars. The open market-for-technology model has not only failed to achieve its intended purpose, but has raised concerns about the possibility of a Latin American phenomenon.

A few years later, when we look back at the managers of foreign companies who were once thriving, we will find that their journey to China is not as kind and beautiful as it was originally advertised. Monopoly, bribery, black money marketing, and problematic products, they almost without exception regard to grabbing the biggest cake from the cracks of policies and maximizing profits as their preferred goals.

Of course, the domestic academic community or public opinion for the tout of foreign managers is also a very serious problem, especially in recent years, because of the influence of wealth effect, the professional managers of major foreign companies have always been the focus of the media, using many young people for the yearning for success, constantly selling their ideas, and putting the integrity of management aside, and the role of various conspiracies and tricks in business operations has been raised to an unattainable height, it seems that everything is successful It was all achieved under the operation of a conspiracy.

This mode of thinking affects not only a generation, but also completely subverts China's thousands of years of integrity management, or the previous Chinese business management has some small means, but the foothold is still on the basis of integrity, as for the present, everywhere reflects the ugliness of human nature.

So, what do you get out of it? Fan Wuxie's thinking began to become active, since he discovered Kodak's conspiracy, but it was inconvenient to stop it, of course, he had to get the most benefit from it, Kodak was making a black fortune, he couldn't sit back and watch them take all the money away, right? I have to bite down twice.

Although the current digital camera technology is still in its infancy, and the market size is not large, it is completely possible to firmly grasp this direction, strive for clever layout, and finally let Kodak obediently spit out what has been eaten in the stomach, which is the best solution.

As for fighting lawsuits with those people in the officialdom and those experts and scholars in the academic world, and theorizing with them about right and wrong, Fan Wuxian has no interest in it, and just lets others attack him.

After figuring this out, Fan Wuxi's mind was decided, the way to choose is to take his own long-term interests, and to give up is to be narrow-minded and temporary, as for a few years later, some people will always pay a heavy price for their short-sightedness.

Does Fan Wuxian believe that Kodak's film industry plan can be popular for a few more years? When the time comes, digital domination will be king.

There are no pop-ups
