Chapter 161: The Failed Fairy
Since the original investment strategy layout has not worked, then there is only another way to find business opportunities, because the company has a huge profitability, once the accumulation of time, there will be a huge amount of net funds, perhaps not out of the economic crisis, her funds will be huge to make decision-makers headaches, now the company's net funds have reached hundreds of billions of yuan, over time, then it will be! On the other hand, there are famines everywhere, business opportunities everywhere, energy projects aside, and now they are the best business opportunities in the history of fairies. The shadow of war has passed, governments are all resuming production, striving to get rid of the impact of the economic crisis as soon as possible, and the world's major conglomerates are all suffering heavy losses, heavy debts, and business difficulties. Although all governments of the world have formulated policies and guidelines that give priority to the development of their own national economies, making it impossible for international companies to start work, this is not the case in every country, and some countries will still open up to those industries that are excellent in operation, willing to contribute to the economic development of the host country, and are necessary for the national life, especially those countries that have suffered heavy losses and lack their own economic strength, and have made great efforts to attract large international consortia to invest.
The situation of the three East Asian countries is relatively special, they have strong xenophobic sentiments, their economic strength is relatively strong, and they are competitors to each other, so they try their best to suppress the production of foreign-funded companies, especially those of rival countries, until the end of the economic crisis, Japan's industries in the other two countries are allowed to start production. South Korea and North Korea have never had production qualifications in the other two countries, especially in China, and the same is true for Chinese companies outside the country. This makes the parent company have to sell some subsidiaries in pain on the one hand, and on the other hand, whether it is sold or continued to hold, there are heavy losses; Most large companies have chosen to withdraw from foreign markets because of their financial difficulties, and Fairy is one of the companies that has benefited the most. She acquired five companies with original assets of up to 1.3 trillion yuan in three industries, only paid more than 300 billion yuan, and actually paid less than 300 billion yuan, becoming the most lucrative company after the economic crisis, and the newly acquired assets are all strong subsidiaries of large companies in a strong position, the top four international giants in these three major industries, which are not easy to mess with, stunned to peel off a layer of skin for the fairy, can the fairy not be strong!
At the beginning of production, the world's first Fairy Electronics increased its assets by 150 billion yuan, and its assets were 550 billion yuan higher than the second-ranked company, and the world's No. 1 new material company increased by 130 billion yuan, ranking first in the world in terms of total assets, and 450 billion yuan higher than the second-ranked company, which has become an indisputable giant in the industry. Of course, the fairy still needs to be careful of the counterattack of large companies, after all, the foundation of those large companies is still there, and it is because of this that the fairy has to make forcible acquisitions to increase its industrial power and ensure its industry status!
For this "once in a millennium" God-given business opportunity, the fairy will not miss it, the company has extremely excellent development conditions, how can it be easily wasted, just because she can easily obtain the world's lowest interest rate during the economic crisis, it is enough to tempt her to stretch out her big hand to the banks! During the entire economic crisis, the fairy was the "darling" of the major banks, and almost all the big banks with the ability to lend money had the highest level of "AAA" credit evaluation for the fairy, with excellent economic conditions, excellent profitability, and excellent loan repayment ability...... There is not a single bank that does not welcome fairy lending and investment business. Even if some consortia are unwilling to let the fairy "crest" and try to stop the bank's lending activities, but the general trend of the fairy has become a success, how can individual consortia be able to stop it, not to mention that the fairy has signed cooperation agreements with many governments. According to the fairy, "this is compensation". Previously, the company's foreign investment enterprises were mainly concentrated in the European and Indian markets, and the company's headquarters decided to carry out a series of "venture capital" after the failure of the energy strategy, and decided to carry out a series of "venture capital" to expand its influence in the world, making Fairy, a world-class top company, truly become an influential consortium in the world!
During the economic crisis, the economies of various countries shrank, the major consortia suffered heavy losses, and there was a serious shortage of international capital, although there was still a large amount of idle funds in the world, but the economic prospects were bleak, which tied everyone's hands and feet, and the small capital groups could not satisfy the appetite of some big countries at all, and could not be favored by the governments of some big countries! According to statistics, during the economic crisis, the world's top ten consortia made a total of more than 3 trillion yuan of international investment, but most of these investments focused on consolidating their original industries, and did not try to make large-scale investments in industries abandoned by other peers; The fairy is different, the investment company that has become one of the world's top ten consortia, most of the investment is used to open up new markets, especially new areas, and it can be said that it is the only large consortium that has carried out large-scale expansion. No way, who made her so rich, it is said that the big chaebols sighed at the fairies, and the old rich men all said in private, "If I have money, I will definitely do better"!
It's just that at the current moment, there are only fairies in the family of people with a lot of money!
The failure of the fairy for this rare business opportunity, is so corrected, the company to achieve two breakthroughs and a focus, one is to break through the domestic geographical restrictions, the company's market to expand to the world powers, into other large economies, so that the fairy really become a world large company. The second breakthrough is to break through the limitations of the original industrial structure, and within a certain range, without industrial restrictions, it can penetrate into other industries and break through the company's "seven industrial circles". At the same time, it will focus on developing the Indian market, and use a considerable part of the company's investment in India's economic revival, so as to seize this world-class market and do "solid work".
Since the fairy has money, since there is a shortage of money around the world, then use the fairy's money to guide the direction of the fairy's sword, pointing where to hit it! The fairy's failure in the energy strategy can be described as a huge loss, but since then, she has obtained another huge business opportunity, which cannot but be said to be the fairy's luck. If the fairy's energy strategy is successfully constructed, then she will definitely not enter the current strategic layout, and the fairy in people's eyes will definitely be different. Therefore, people say that the failure of the fairy in the energy strategy is an immeasurable thing, perhaps this evaluation is more appropriate, "the world's energy giants pushed the fairy from their ranks, but pushed this chariot to another vast battlefield, destined to be the economic crisis of the fairy's opportunity, and finally let her get the reward she deserved"!
The first investment of the failed fairy was to the European market, and at the same time as she invested in the two major banks, as a "sacrifice in exchange", the EU was forced to open the investment market to the fairy, and promised the company she invested in "normal production", and at the same time Deutsche Bank promised to provide a total of less than 300 billion yuan of "preferential loans". The signing of this agreement can be said to be a very important negotiation result of the fairies, of course, this agreement also has the strong support of their partners in Europe, but in any case, the fairies have obtained strong facilities for expansion into Europe, and the rest is up to them. Market opportunities are fleeting, opportunities cannot be lost, and they will never come again, which is known to shrewd businessmen, and giants in the investment world like fairies naturally understand it very well!
Before the Spring Festival passed, the staff of the Fairy Liaison Department was sent out to negotiate the acquisition of the French Sisco Biotechnology Company, which was a joint venture between a French electronics company and Japan's Yamazaki Company, with total market assets of 420 billion yuan before the economic crisis, after a serious shrinkage, only about a quarter of the assets remained, which was mainly caused by the company's rapid expansion, the company was established only 15 years, the asset value has expanded 7 times, and the foundation is quite unstable, Unable to withstand the blow of the economic crisis, until the end of 36 years, it was not allowed to start production. This is linked both to European economic policy and to the current situation of the company's two largest shareholders. France's Stert Electronics Company owns 45 percent of the company's shares, but Stert is short of funds and cannot come up with enough funds to support the production of the Ester Company, while the Japanese Yamazaki Company has also suffered heavy losses and is not in a good financial situation, and it has devoted its main energy to restoring the development of the domestic company and strengthening competition with its Chinese counterparts, and it is simply unable to take care of this large European company with heavy losses. Today, Japan's major companies are scrambling to compete for the Chinese market, trying to beat their rivals and capture the lion's share of what is said to be the "most dynamic market" during the economic crisis. With the Chinese market, Japan can quickly recover and become stronger, and without the Chinese market, Japan has to struggle in the Great Depression, so the Japanese regard the Chinese market war as a battle of life and death, and almost all companies are desperate! Therefore, the fairy once again "took advantage of the fire" and proposed a plan to acquire Sisko, trying to restructure this huge biotechnology company, of course, the fairy could not be too urgent, and at the same time contacted and negotiated with a large company in Belgium with original assets of 60 billion euros, not only that, but he also contacted and negotiated with a company with original assets of 380 billion yuan in Austria. The fairy's contact negotiations with the three companies started almost at the same time, and the Europeans once again learned the fairy's tough negotiation style, and did not let go of their own demands at all, and often threatened to withdraw from the negotiations, and spoke bluntly about the other party's delaying tactics, making the negotiators complain, but helpless! In the end, the results of the negotiations were mostly satisfactory, but the fairy "did not want to have too much industry in Europe", and only one agreement was signed, and the other two did not enter the final stage of negotiations.
On March 14, Fairy Company acquired all the shares of Yamazaki Company in Sisco Company, and at the same time acquired the shares held by Stert Company, wholly owning the company with assets of 100 billion yuan. The contract stipulates that the fairy pays 90 billion yuan, and undertakes a total of 25 billion yuan of debts and nearly 40 billion yuan of arrears that can hardly be recovered, in order to take down and revitalize the company, the fairy has borrowed 130 billion yuan from Deutsche Bank. Through the acquisition of Sisko, Fairy entered the European market in the field of biotechnology, using its popularity in Europe to independently explore the European market, and became the focus of EU media amazement in March, and she was allowed to resume production the next day, allowing Europeans to see the strength of this failed Chinese company. Sisco is an important bridgehead of the fairy in Europe, this wholly-owned company not only carries out production and development research, but also sells fairy products from China and India, is an important transit point established by the fairy in Europe, and its scale is expanding rapidly, of course, the company's expansion and development is in the late stage of the economic crisis and after the crisis. Through Sisko, the fairy once again showed the Europeans that she was extraordinary, "using loans from European banks to earn money from Europeans", and the Internet and major media were amazed!
Fairy is a huge company that is not willing to be lonely, this is the unanimous comment of opponents in various industries, and some people even gave the fairy and Li Mengze such praise as "cunning", and now this comment is really widely accepted by people! When people talk about the fairy's investment in Europe, when people look at the fairy's industrial projects in Europe, and even when some people are speculating about what else she will invest in Europe, she has already shifted her position!
People have enough reason to believe that fairies will make large-scale investments in Europe, first of all, Europe is the least affected by the crisis, the most stable economic situation in the region, at the same time, the international investment of European enterprises is one by one heavy losses, itself is in a difficult situation, unable to resist the expansion of the fairies in the limelight, squeezing the living space of these companies, laying the foundation for the development of their own industries, now is undoubtedly the best time. Some of Europe's biggest companies, especially electronics, new materials and biotechnology companies, are already frightened, and fairies can squeeze these rivals with their strong financial resources and advanced technology! Secondly, fairies have a relatively high reputation in Europe, they are not excluded here, there are many partners, and they have convenient conditions for further development, which is also very important at a special moment of economic crisis. Third, although the fairies have failed in energy investment, it does not mean that they have given up energy projects, as long as the time comes, they will once again provoke the world's nerves, and investing in Europe will not only allow her to increase her influence in the world, increase the bargaining chips in negotiations, but also gather funds faster. With these three points, people have enough confidence in the fairy's European investment, but the fact is that people are shocked, the fairy's heavy army is not entering the stable big market of Europe, but the situation is a mess, the crisis has not yet bottomed out in India, this "big market in the past", which makes people very incomprehensible, especially the fairy is still entering in secret.
When the fairy's series of huge investments in India were unfolded in front of people's eyes, everyone was surprised or surprised, except confused or confused, because before that, no one was optimistic about the Indian market, all we saw was the withdrawal of big conglomerates, and people were puzzled. Hundreds of billions of yuan have been invested in this disaster-stricken populous country, which is several times the amount of European investment, second only to her investment in her own market, and all these investment funds come from bank loans; From a large capital reserve account to a large capital liability account, people can't help but be amazed. The world is so unpredictable, who would have thought that she would be so crazy!
As a world-class consortium, she must vigorously explore overseas markets in order to win the first opportunity in the new round of market wars, and the important problem she faces is that there are empty funds, too much funds, less funds, not enough to use, too much, and there is no place to digest! If the fairy does not make other large-scale investments after the investment bank, then within a few years, it will accumulate trillions of yuan of "spare funds", and according to the agreement, she can not invest in energy in the short term, and must reduce her capital storage rate as required, which will be a headache for the fairy, so what the fairy lacks is not funds, but the market or opportunity to use funds. The reason why the fairy is reluctant to enter the European market is because she is unwilling to start a life-and-death struggle with large European companies, although these companies are seriously damaged, but the foundation is still there, and if you continue to touch it, the fairy will not be able to get any cheap, so why should it be cheap for large companies in Japan and the United States; In this way, on the one hand, to avoid grudges with these large companies, they should receive a little bit of this friendship, on the other hand, it will not make the fairy dominate in the future market, causing the jealousy of peers, "everyone earns money together", the fairy said to some companies. The fairy once clearly told her European counterparts that she was not willing to substantially harm their fundamental interests, and was willing to meet more non-vicious partners in Europe! This point is really felt by the fairy in its future development, at least the large European companies have not joined hands with their Japanese and American counterparts to participate in the desperate competition for the fairy! Suffice it to say, the fairy's real competitors are large companies in Japan and the United States, including a consortium of large companies in the east neighbors of South Korea and North Korea. Thus, the large corporations at both ends of the Eurasian continent, with the goodwill of the fairies, have reached a certain degree of union! Another important reason why the fairy gave up Europe was that she took a fancy to the big Indian market and India's advantageous position around the Indian Ocean, so to speak, "because of India, the fairy gave up Europe".
India, a large country in South Asia, actually has a very good geographical location and development conditions, and is a rare country with excellent geographical location in the world. First of all, it is located in the south of Asia, bordered by the rich Islamic countries to the west, the Southeast Asian countries with large populations and relatively good living standards to the east, and the north is separated by a tall mountain range from the northern powers...... Secondly, the Indian Ocean is too small, and India is deep in the Indian Ocean, which makes Oceania and Africa around the Indian Ocean her close neighbors, from India can quickly reach these countries, especially the future world development focus of one of the African market, India's geographical location can be called inherently excellent. Third, India is much closer to Europe than China, and it is much closer to Europe by sea from Mumbai than to China, and the products produced in India can be quickly put into Europe, which is a good place for fairies to dream of! Although the gross national product is far inferior to China, a large number of middle class and a huge upper class in the country, and the market consumption is quite amazing, which makes India a key country to attract business investment.
For decades, India has been the darling of the international investment community, following China, and has accumulated a large number of the world's top industrial enterprises, and the industrial army is very large. It is also among the world's leading in many fields, and in some respects it is even stronger than China. In the field of electronics, in the field of new materials, as well as in the field of biotechnology, it occupies an important position, and before the economic crisis, Tagore Electronics ranked fifth in the world. The total assets are as high as 1.4 trillion yuan, and Ji Ke New Materials Company is also closely followed by Fairy New Materials Company with assets of 1.45 trillion yuan, also ranking among the top five in the world, and Delhi Biotechnology Company is ranked as the third largest company in the world with total assets of 1.64 trillion yuan, many Chinese companies are out of reach, and Deang Company, one of the world's three major biotechnology companies, is the mothership of Delhi, with original assets of more than 640 billion yuan. At the same time, there are many subsidiaries of various types opened by large consortia in its territory, which can be said to be a very large group combination. However, before the economic crisis, Fairy did not have a physical company in India, but there were some partners who would sell her products in China, especially electronic products, in various places, so to speak, Indians did not know about Fairy, and her influence in India was very limited, far less than in other regions. Indians only know that there is Ji Ke, Delhi, only Tagana, and of course, Indians are also familiar with other big international companies. Therefore, before the economic crisis, the fairy has no influence in India, especially the general public does not care about the world's most amazing investment company, no way, the fairy steel, the Indians do not care, the fairy textile company, in India does not have any advantage, the fairy electronics is just one of the choices of the Indians, and the fairy new material is mainly supplied to the domestic market...... However, the economic crisis changed everything, and from now on, the life of Indians will no longer be separated from the fairy, who will accompany them at sunrise and sunset, into every aspect of their lives!
There are a number of reasons why fairies want to enter the Indian market! The fairy chose to enter India during the global catastrophe of the economic crisis, and this period is the period of chaos and mess in India, which is a godsend opportunity for her to exclusively carry out industrial promotion, and she is also the only international large company in the big conglomerates to enter the Indian market in a big way during the economic crisis, and it is in the period when many large companies are trying to escape from the "bottomless pit of economic crisis" in India. The fairy chose to enter the darkest period of India's economy and the most isolated and helpless government, and it can be said that it is the only large company to enter this large South Asian country against the current of world investment; For the Indian government, it is impossible to praise the fairy, and some people even give the biggest contributor to India's economic recovery and recovery to the fairy, and the government announcement openly claims that "the fairy is one of India's best partners". Of course, there is a price to be paid for the fairy's praise in India, and throughout the economic crisis, even during the period of the continuous dark recession of the Indian economy, it has never withdrawn from India, and has continuously increased its investment in the Indian market. In the first half of 37 years, a total of 130 billion yuan was invested, 170 billion yuan was invested in the second half of the year, 330 billion yuan was continuously invested in 38 years, and 380 billion yuan was invested in 39 years...... With such funds, how can entering the disaster-stricken India not be welcomed by the Indian government, let alone at a critical moment when major companies are fleeing!
The world economic crisis, which began in August '35, had a particularly devastating effect on India! As an emerging market, it is much worse than China in all aspects, which has always aspired to catch up, and is inferior to China in all aspects such as basic conditions, and its ability to prepare for economic disasters is much worse than China's. 80 years ago, the economies of the two countries were about the same size, but since then, she has not been able to catch up with China's economic development level, and the distance is getting bigger and bigger, although she is better in some aspects, but on the whole, this ambitious South Asian power, itself is admitting that it is "far less than China"! But as an emerging market, the strategic location and huge population have attracted a lot of investment from around the world, especially when major companies find their competitors in China increasingly difficult to deal with. It can be said that the increasingly difficult competition of major companies in the Chinese market has prompted them to pay attention to this large country with an increasingly large population, the previous investment enterprises have been greatly strengthened, and there are no subsidiaries to set up factories one after another, just ten years, the amount of foreign investment in India has increased more than three times, and there are branches of large international companies everywhere, from the west coast to the east coast, and then to the south coast and its inland, foreign branches abound, and everyone wants to share profits from the "giant" of India! Isn't India not rich, then the big companies will make the Indians rich, and when they are rich, the Indians will have the money to buy their high-end goods; Isn't India a large population, so the products produced by cheap labor are not profitable to send to the markets of Europe, Australia, Japan and the United States, and even put into the Chinese market still have a certain competitiveness. Of course, the world's big conglomerates and large companies are also looking at India's huge domestic market, a huge middle class, and a labor force that is no less inferior than China's, which they produce and consume...... Here, the major companies make enough profits, and then invest in exchange for greater profits, like a snowball, rolling bigger and bigger, and gradually gaining amazing momentum! It's a pity that the world's climate is said to have been warming, so warm that until 1,000 suns shine on the world together, the economic crisis that broke out in an instant, so that the huge snowball quickly melted, and before everyone could ease up, the ten pavilions have gone to the nine pavilions, and the greedy large companies have suffered heavy losses, their assets have shrunk seriously, and they are riddled with huge debts, and a large number of arrears cannot be recovered, and many have become dead debts...... According to statistics, the "arrears" of private consumption in advance alone amounted to more than 15 trillion yuan. The economic crisis in India is particularly violent, far beyond people's estimates, and its own economic foundation is not very good, and because major companies are rushing to flee, the huge army of unemployed is amazing, the entire social economy is crumbling, the prospects are bleak, and it has become a big market that is not unanimously optimistic!
Capital is driven by the pursuit of profits, and the major consortia controlled by the principle of capital have fled the Indian market under the unanimous predictions of all parties around the world, and even more so, under the personal experience. First of all, during the economic crisis, companies from all over the world have focused on developing their own economies, and companies that have been seriously damaged have shrunk their fronts, abandoning some burdens that cannot win profits, and traveling lightly, beware of debt dragging down companies, and the first thing that comes to mind is to shrink overseas business, especially in some unstable and unfriendly countries, India and China have unfortunately become the first areas for everyone to flee, although the reasons are different. Secondly, international companies are not stupid, although guarding the domestic market is tantamount to seeking a short circuit, but if you can't keep the company's vitality, you can't talk about development at all, everyone is looking at the economic crisis from the perspective of life and death, although we will try to retain some promising foreign companies, but the bleak prospects like India are definitely not in line with their interests, everyone is not optimistic about its short-term market situation, rather than being dragged to death in India, it is better to get out as soon as possible, and wait for the opportunity to re-enter in the future. Moreover, there are many places where you can make money now, and there are markets that are less risky than India, and you don't make money if you don't make money, isn't that unreasonable, although there is also a saying of "putting a long line to catch a big fish", but India's big fish is really not good to catch, and it is likely to "lose your wife and break your soldiers", not to mention that this economic problem is not based on anyone's subjective wishes to change, it is "not subject to human will for the transfer" thing. Finally, there are really visionary people in this world and geometry, foresight and power plus how many people dare to bet! As a result, the major companies have unanimously made a consistent choice, which gives the fairy a small opportunity!
