"Boss, Thomson does not know what's good for them. You had reminded them that there are problems with their operations, but they ignored you. Now, there are problems, and they are still so arrogant to ask us for help! "Wu Chih-gang was pissed.
You are selling your products at such high prices, and why should we buy them? You want us to give you a low interest loan, and we should at least get something in return. We wanted to buy some of your patents, but you rejected us. Is this still our fault?
Feng Yu waved his hand. "This is normal. Some people are like this. When they fail, they will not think about why they failed. They will blame others for not helping them."
"Helping us is a form of friendship and not an obligation. We are only allies and not partners. In the past, we had only formed an alliance to fight against Japan's powerful consumer electronics companies. "
"Now, although Japan's consumer electronics companies are still very powerful, we are now one of the top companies in the world. Without Thomson, we still have Philips, Tata Electronics, and other powerful partners. Thomson is the same. Without us, there are still other companies willing to form an alliance with them. That's why they are so stubborn. "
Between enterprises, what they pursued was always profits, not favors. The more shareholders there are, the harder it is to do favors. You might have a good relationship with the shareholders, but it does not mean the other shareholders are willing to help you.
A starving camel is still bigger than a horse. Although Thomson is bound to suffer losses this year, they might still survive. In Feng Yu's previous life, Thomson had gone bankrupt, but who knows if there will be any changes in this life?
Once Thomson turns around and cooperates with other competitors, they might be able to revive the company with their advanced technologies. However, the prerequisite was that they needed to be decisive and reorganize their businesses and factories.
"Boss, Thomson's sales channels are very powerful. If we fall out with them, it will affect our sales." Wu Chih-gang was worried.
"It will affect us, but it will only slow down our expansion. Without Thomson's sales channels, our products will not be able to sell well. Fu Guangzheng had contacted many partners in Europe. Even if we do not form an alliance with them, we will still be able to grow! "
The Fu Family was famous for their retail business. This was their family's traditional business, and it was also the business that allowed their family to rise. During this period, Feng Yu and the rest are stirring up the financial markets, but Fu Guangzheng is not idling around. He had visited many countries in Europe and signed many contracts.
Some of them were old partners renewing their contracts, and some were new partners. The number of partners Feng Yu and the others had increased. Without a powerful partner like Thomson, although it would have an impact, it wouldn't be too big.
Fu Guangzheng owns shares in Taihua Holdings and many of its subsidiaries. He is also one of the Vice-Presidents of Taihua Holdings. Fu Guangzheng will think of ways to solve these problems. Furthermore, the Fu family will benefit from this.
Wu Chih-gang hesitated and said, "Boss, President Kameda told us a piece of news. The reports from Japan are not good for us."
The cooperation between Thomson and Taihua Holdings was terminated, and the two parties parted ways. This made the Japanese consumer electronics giants grin from ear to ear.
It's a good thing for them that their competitors had weakened. Without Thomson's help, the Japanese giants can see Wind & Rain Electronics's sales in North America are in trouble.
After all, Thomson is the leader of the North American home appliances market and has strong sales channels. Wind & Rain Electronics had relied on him a lot.
Now that they are parting ways, what will happen to Wind & Rain Electronics's sales in North America? Look for new sales channels? Or establish new ones themselves? Either way, it will slow down Wind & Rain Electronics's expansion.
Sony is the happiest, and Norio Ohga had even announced that he will be the leader of the consumer electronics industry in North America this year.
Although the US economy is affected, the consumers are still strong. This is a good opportunity for Sony to become the market leader, and it will be good for their branding.
Feng Yu had asked for it. He had wasted such an opportunity to increase his market share in North America.
If Thomson wants to sell some of his businesses, he could have asked for the North American sales channels, etc., and Wind and Rain will become stronger. Feng Yu had miscalculated this time.
Norio Ohga felt that Feng Yu was too arrogant. Did he think that Wind and Rain can still sell well in North America without Thomson?
All of them knew how important it is to have a good sales channel. No matter how good the advertisements and brand awareness is, without a sales channel, it will be useless.
Consumers want to buy your products, but they can't buy them. What's the point of making money?
If the sales channel is good enough, even if the advertisements and brand awareness are average, the products can still sell well.
For example, if your products can appear in all the retail outlets, people will see your product's logo when they walk by. This might be more effective than TV advertisements.
Feng Yu will not cooperate with Thomson, and Sony started to negotiate with Thomson after Thomson contacted them. Of course, the conditions they offered were also exceptionally harsh.
Thomson had lost some of their allies, and it was going downhill. When Thomson needs money, how can Sony and other companies not lower their conditions?
Feng Yu knew Thomson wants to cooperate with a Japanese company, and he had a look of disdain on his face. Thomson had made the wrong choice again!
Japan is the world's most powerful consumer electronics company, and Thomson's technologies and distribution channels are only icing on the cake. If it was two years ago, Thomson can still be considered a strong alliance. But now, Thomson is in a weak position because of the lack of funds.
Cooperating with a Japanese company is like asking a tiger for its skin. If Thomson succeeds, he can get out of trouble. But the biggest possibility is that he will be swallowed by the other party.
In Feng Yu's previous life, Thomson was also in contact with Japanese companies. He wanted to sell some of his businesses and was dragged down.
The Japanese companies kept saying they are sincere, but they can't offer any sincere conditions. After Thomson lowered their conditions, the Japanese companies lowered their conditions again.
This dragged on for one to two years, and Thomson, which had a chance to be saved, had to apply for bankruptcy protection. In the end, a powerful brand declined.
In this life, Thomson had chosen this path again, and the outcome will not change much. Thomson will be tricked, and he will be tricked badly.
Maybe only after he is tricked, Thomson will understand that it was a big mistake to leave Feng Yu's alliance!
