Bombardier is a world-famous Canadian state-owned listed company, which has a history of more than 30 years, although the Canadian government has not announced whether to sell the company, but it can't hide it from some people who are interested, so the news that Bombardier is going to be privatized has spread to the world.

The strange thing is that this news has not set off a big wave overseas, and many well-known international media are indifferent to this side of the news, and only a few newspapers, in the most inconspicuous corners, can no longer simply report it.

The reason for this is that the international popularity of Bombardier in the 70s is not even third-rate, and it cannot attract the interest of the international media at all, and since the collapse of the Bretton Woods system and the outbreak of the oil crisis, the European and American economies have been in a comprehensive recession, and I don't know how many of the world's leading companies have collapsed, closed, merged and restructured their assets. They are still too busy with the collapse of those world-class large enterprises.

There is more coverage of Bombardier in the United States, after all, it is a motorcycle brand named after Harley, which collapsed a year ago, and now Bombardier has also fallen, giving Americans a feeling of sadness.

Pierre, a special correspondent of the New York Tribune, wrote that a year ago, the famous Harley fell on the global oil crisis, and a year later, Bombardier, a motorcycle brand with the same name as Harley, does not seem to be able to escape the doom of the oil crisis, although it has not fallen, but it is by no means optimistic, look at North America now, the streets are full of motorcycles from Japan, Harley-Davidson motorcycles, Bombardier motorcycles, and now they can't be seen on the street at all.

And in the field of high-end motorcycles, you can't see North American motorcycles, you can only see motorcycles from Germany, people would rather pay 15 to 20% more to buy German motorcycles, I want to ask, what's wrong with the United States? Why do so many people buy motorcycles from Japan and Germany instead of those from North America?

…… I am also a fan of Bombardier motorcycles, it collapsed once a few years ago, and now it will be privatized, and I don't know if its new owner can lead this long-established company to rebuild its glory, if not, it will face the fate of a second bankruptcy......

The whole article is extremely sensational, and on the surface, Pierre is feeling sorry for Bombardier, but in fact he is crying out for American business.

Obviously, this is a gun article carefully planned by the American business circles, and the target is mainly Japan, since the 70s, Japanese-made cars and motorcycles have begun to land in the European and American markets, due to the impact of the oil crisis, Japanese cars are cheap and fuel-efficient, and have been greatly welcomed by European and American users, while American cars cannot be sold at all, a large number of car inventories have been backlogged, and American automobile groups have suffered heavy losses.

European car companies have also suffered heavy losses (with the exception of Germany) and the same losses in the face of Japan's shock, but the two countries and regions in Europe and the United States have taken very different approaches:

In Europe, in the face of the impact of Japanese automobiles, European automobile companies did not complain, but organized a large number of manpower and financial resources to develop a new generation of energy-saving cars, they knew that their labor could not be compared with Japan, so they went to the high-end automobile market, the combination of nobility and fashion, in the endowing Europe with a unique cultural atmosphere, gradually got rid of the predicament, out of their own unique car development path.

On the other hand, the American car companies went down another path, they simply and rudely, directly used off-the-plate tactics, banned cars from Japan, and the direct consequence was that they lost the Japanese market forever, and also lost the European market, only to survive in the American market, and finally led to the collapse of General Motors in 2008.

Two different ways of dealing with it lead to two diametrically opposed results: one is reborn from the ashes, and the other is dying step by step.

After reading Pierre's report, Ling Shizhe came to a conclusion that the ultimate consequence of using bad off-the-plate tricks is death.

Although Japanese cars have brought a great impact to the American automobile industry, but at this time Japanese cars are not like later generations, in the overall technology, but at least two steps behind Europe and the United States, the reason why Japanese cars can sell well, the main reason is that it is fuel-efficient, price is not the most direct factor, as long as the American car companies survive this period of time, the market will eventually be inclined to American companies.

American cars have good performance, large horsepower, large space, and comfortable ride are always advantages, but its shortcomings are also obvious, that is, the fuel consumption is too large, and the oil crisis comes, it is naturally not welcomed by the market.

At this time, the United States, the most correct way to do is to strive to increase the power of the car engine, that is, to use the least fuel consumption to reach the highest power, rather than using off-market recruitment to boycott Japanese cars, so that the American automobile industry missed a short, the best window period for technological replacement, and finally was fully surpassed by Japan in technology.

The key to using off-the-board tricks to block Japanese cars is that you live in the United States? The Japanese are very economically minded and very good at this kind of reverse hype, and if you kill like this, Japan will use this matter to hype up the whole world, and his speculation is not for you Europeans and Americans, but for those people in developing countries.

How will consumers in those developing countries react? Ouch, this Japanese car is amazing, sell all the American cars boycotted, and in the end the United States has no choice but to ban him, what does this mean? It shows that Japanese cars are not worse than American cars, and the price is still cheap, and the appearance is also stylish, so why not buy Japanese cars, but buy American cars.

In fact, can the overall technology of Japanese cars in the 70s really be compared to American cars? No, it is not comparable except for fuel economy and low price, and it is two steps worse. But just such a killing, and the Japanese hype it up like this, will leave people with the illusion that Japanese cars are better than those of the United States.

Some people may say, good is good, bad is bad, he can only deceive for a while, he can't deceive a lifetime, sooner or later he will still be exposed.

First of all, consumers in developing countries, there are a few people who can afford expensive American cars, and those Yankees are very arrogant, and they don't take consumers in developing countries seriously at all, cars are just a means of transportation, their own economic strength is limited, they can't afford to buy those tall cars, buy a cheap and affordable Japanese car, why is it not good?

Moreover, the Japanese are not like the Chinese, as long as the product sales are good, the small farmer idea will attack, eat the old book in the credit book, do not develop new technologies at all, and the Japanese are different, they have a strong sense of crisis, after the success of reverse hype, they will continue to invest the money they earn in the research and development of new technologies, although my car technology is not yet comparable with American cars, but I continue to develop new technologies, little by little to improve the technical content of cars, one day, Japanese cars are not worse than the United States.

This is the abacus of the Japanese, is it amazing? It was quite powerful, and with this trick, the American car company was finally bankrupt, and the shrewdness of the Japanese can be seen.

Of course, the bankruptcy of American automobile companies is also inseparable from the staggering welfare insurance premiums, since Pearl Harbor, most of the white people in the United States have gone to the army to fight on the front line, and the factories naturally have not enough workers, at this time blacks have made up for this vacancy, so after World War II, the vast majority of workers in American enterprises are blacks.

Since the workers were mainly blacks, blacks gradually controlled the guild, hence the later Martin. Luther King's black liberation movement, leading workers' strikes one at a time.

After Luther King was assassinated, history released a turning point here, the black people stood up, but in Ling Shizhe's view, these black people are born slaves, once they are liberated, they don't know what their surnames are, those black people kidnap welfare and political rights, and ask companies to improve their welfare benefits, some of these treatments are reasonable and legitimate, and some are pure nonsense, if you don't agree to them, you can't do it, if you don't promise you, you discriminate against them, and they will strike.

Promised them? I can't control it for two days, and I went on strike again, asking the company to give them higher treatment and higher welfare, and then the company promised them, and then I couldn't manage it for two days, and those blacks made trouble again, and they made trouble every day, and the high labor cost made the company already overwhelmed, and the company became the object of extortion by the guild.

White business owners just can't stand them anymore, what to do? Factories are closed, transferred to developing countries, factories are built in developing countries, and even factories are saved, and they are directly OEM...... Products produced in developing countries are simply and trouble-free to buy and affix their own brands and sell them directly in the European and American markets.

Aren't you blacks going to make trouble, Lao Tzu directly shut down the factory, and you are haunted.

The end result? What black people get a flashy political right, but lose their job, the job is gone, and there is a ghost welfare, a ghost's political rights. What kind of society is the United States? In a typical money-first society, as long as you have money, you have everything; If you don't have money, you have nothing.

In the 90s, the United States made a statistic that the middle class in the United States accounted for 80% of the American population, and in 2012, another statistic was made, and the middle class actually reached 90%.

Idea, at that time, the United States was still in an economic crisis, there were a large number of bankruptcies of enterprises, a large number of people were unemployed, why did the proportion of the middle class, instead of decreasing, still increase? The fundamental reason is that the Yankees have directly excluded those poor black Americans, and they have eliminated you, and the political power in your hands is of any use.

The United States is an electoral country, elections cost a lot of money, if you want money, you have to raise funds, those poor people can't even afford to eat, they have P money to engage in political fundraising, there is no money to donate to those politicians, they say P for you, ignore you, they will only help the rich to speak, as for your votes, at this time there is a P use, the higher your political power, the more black people will be unemployed, the whole vicious circle.

M&A between large enterprises is not an easy task, especially for listed state-owned enterprises like Bombardier, which involves too many aspects, not to mention that it owes more than 6 billion Canadian dollars in debt, and has long been insolvent.

This is the first large-scale merger and acquisition since the establishment of Ambrera, to be honest, Ling Shizhe does not really want to buy this company, if he does not know that Bombardier will become one of the world's top flying giants in the future, it is very important for Ling Shizhe's future China strategy, otherwise more than 6 billion Canadian dollars in debt, and a broken company that is insolvent, Ling Shizhe is not the slightest interest in mentioning it.

As a result, Ling Shizhe has not yet decided whether to buy Bombardier, but the Canadians themselves have made a fuss.

Bombardier's privatization was opposed by many people, and more than 100,000 people took to the streets throughout Canada, and in Ottawa, the capital of Canada, countless people staged a sit-in in front of the prime minister's government, holding up plaques, smearing colorful oil paint on their faces, wearing fancy clothes, and holding loudspeakers and shouting slogans against the capitalists.

Montreal, where Bombardier's headquarters is located, was even more crowded, watching the live TV broadcast in the company, the square in front of the municipal building was filled with people, and the young male host on TV said that the number of protesters and demonstrations in the whole square was as high as 50,000 people.

Ling Shizhe stepped forward and turned off the TV, turned to the group of subordinates below and said, "You have also seen the situation, who will tell me whether it makes sense to buy Bombardier." ”

No one answered Ling Shizhe's question, and there was a pin drop in the conference room, and I don't know how long it took, Allison said: "Boss, it's not a big deal, as far as I know, all the employees of Bombardier together are less than 3,000 people, and now there are so many people in the city hall square, obviously it won't be Bombardier's people." ”

"That's right, boss, according to my understanding, Bombardier still welcomes us to acquire them, and Bombardier's employees were not involved in this incident, and we still have hope."

Alison and the others' comfort did not play any role, but made Ling Shizhe irritable, and loudly reprimanded: "The problem is that someone is not like us to buy Bombardier, so they made this matter, and I am now worried that the employees of Ambrera will follow them to make trouble, understand?" ”
