Chapter 480 [Bluestar Technology's response]
Bluestar Technology Group Headquarters, Innovation Workshop Department.
"Boss, Mr. Zhang is looking for you."
"Okay, you guys continue, give me an email if you have any questions." Luo Sheng stood up and gave a few instructions to the engineers and left.
As Luo Sheng left, several engineers began to communicate.
"It's really not easy for the boss."
"Yes, on the one hand, we manage several giant groups, on the other hand, we have to go to major R&D departments to Pan Technology, and on the other hand, we have to deal with the company's current crisis."
"In the past, the boss could have been there for thirty or forty minutes when he came to the Innovation Workshop, but now he has been called away in about ten minutes."
"If you grow your career, you will be hard-working. I'll be a programmer."
"It's a promising future."
"hey-hey."
...
On the other side, Luo Sheng had already met Zhang Bowen, "What's the matter with Lao Zhang?"
The two went hand in hand, and Zhang Bowen said: "Mr. Luo, New Zealand, Canada, Britain, and Australia have all followed suit. The Americans did have a heavy blow. If we hadn't been prepared for a long time, we might have been caught off guard and would even be unable to withstand such a blow."
Luo Sheng turned his head and glanced at him and looked ahead: "It's all English-speaking countries. It's not an accident. The relatives of the United States, as I expected, what about the euro zone? What's the situation?"
If the euro zone market is also lost, it will be equivalent to losing about 80% of the developed country markets. This is a big blow to Bluestar Technology, but it will not die.
When Lao Zhang saw Luo Sheng's plain expression, he felt admired him while his confidence also increased a lot.
“According to your strategy, the company increases investment in the euro zone market, including concessions.”
Hearing this, Luo Sheng nodded: "Well, if you can stabilize the euro zone, try to stabilize it. It's nothing to make some blood now. I don't care about the gains and losses of a city, a pool and a time. However, the top priority of the core strategy is the in-depth development of the mainland market, followed by the development of emerging market economic regions in the third world. The euro zone must be ranked behind and cannot hold too much hope."
"We can't even pay too much attention to the Northeast Asian market. The two American tool countries, Japan and South Korea, will definitely not be able to withstand it if Sam's father puts some pressure on them. Didn't the English-speaking market give up on me? Then lay off employees. When the regional employees are laying down about 75% and more than 30,000 people, a small country like New Zealand has a market size not as large as a Sioux City."
Hearing Luo Sheng's words, Zhang Bowen sighed: "It seems that things are more serious than I thought. Mr. Luo, you can go there in person in the euro zone, which is also an attitude and sincerity."
Hearing this, Luo Sheng smiled, stopped and turned to look at Lao Zhang, Zhang Bowen was a little suspicious.
Luo Sheng: "The attitude and sincerity are indeed here, but they are useless. Not only are they useless, they will even make them feel that we can't survive without the euro zone market. Believe me, those Europeans will definitely take advantage of the situation. Not only will I not be able to pay less money when I go there, but I will cut more meat. Hundreds of years ago they were all in a stinky ditch. Even if they were separated and changed places, the smell was still the same and they couldn't wash it off, so you can go there. I'm bragging in the mainland and do it like that."
When Zhang Bowen heard this, he was speechless and said with a laugh: "Yes, I'm still not thinking about it, so I'll prepare for a trip to Europe."
Luo Sheng: "Well, I don't care how much money you spend and how much blood you spend there. You can do it as you please. I only have one requirement, the premise is that you can't lose your pride. Even if all the markets in developed countries are lost, we can live, and one day we have to come and kneel down and beg me to provide a solution."
As soon as these words were said, Lao Zhang was also very energetic. He said nothing but nodded solemnly.
Anyway, this sounds so exciting.
Lao Zhang also blindly believed in Luo Sheng, and today's Blue Star Technology does have arrogant capital.
Luo Sheng continued to move forward and asked casually: "How much has the company's market value dropped now?"
Zhang Bowen: "After several major English-speaking countries announced the news yesterday, the stock market fell again, and the company's stock price fell below the last burst line. Its current market value is only US$478 billion."
Recently, the market and investor confidence have been completely lost. Since the Blue Star Technology Group broke out, there has been no good news and bad news.
Luo Sheng glanced at him and said lightly: "What does it mean to be only 478 billion US dollars? It has expanded. Isn't this still the world's largest market value, and it's better to be the second place with a position of more than 100 billion US dollars?"
...
As the English-speaking markets announced a cooperation ban between local companies and Bluestar Technology, Bluestar Technology also followed suit and announced that when the region was struggling due to business setbacks, it was estimated that the layoffs would be 32,000. The company only retained the scientific research department and operation and maintenance department to continue to operate. Employees from other departments could be laid off, and those who could not be laid off, they would find a way to lay off.
Once the news was confirmed, the stock price fell sharply. During this period, a series of operations of Blue Star Technology successfully led the entire stock market to dive all the way down.
These areas are in a big fuss. You should know that the 32,000 layoffs are not only affected by 32,000 people. These 32 people represent 32,000 families. In other words, even if it is calculated as a family of three, nearly 100,000 people are directly affected.
These people are the backbone of the consumer market. Now that they are unemployed, they will inevitably tighten their consumption and will inevitably impact the local economic situation to a sluggishness, indirectly affecting the development of many companies. Maybe they will be a domino, and they will be a vicious cycle.
Bluestar Technology has set a budget of 6.3 billion US dollars to settle the resignation compensation of these more than 30,000 employees. Being rich is human nature.
If you don’t let me have a good life, I won’t let you have a good life. Isn’t it just that everyone hurts each other?
...
In March, Zhang Bowen, as the second-person in the company, finally started his business trip to Europe.
Lao Zhang did not go immediately, but started his trip to Europe after Bluestar Technology announced a plan of 32,000 people.
There is a little trick here, and it is for the euro zone to see if it is time difference.
Take a look. There are 77,000 employees of Bluestar Technology in Europe. If you dare to follow up, I, Bluestar Technology, dare to lay off 57,000 employees.
On March 17, the Blue Star Technology negotiating team led by Zhang Bowen officially contacted and consulted with the EU Executive Committee.
In the conference room, people on both sides sat opposite each other, which was an internal closed-door meeting.
Zhang Bowen, who was sitting in the middle, spoke:
"His Excellency Sranne, we are the only one here, so let's open the skylight and say something bright. Blue Star Technology Group's recent situation is very bad, we admit it. But at the same time, you can't deny that your life is not going well in Europe now. The debt crisis has caused the European economy to fall into a quagmire. If you still have to get into trouble with Blue Star Technology, it will be a lose-lose situation."
Lao Zhang was outspoken, but he had a closed-door meeting anyway.
Europe is facing a debt crisis, and it is impossible to say that the impact of these recent waves of stock market crashes on the European economy has not had any impact, even if the world economy is fluctuating.
The Americans are so tough, but Europe is the one who is most hurt in the end, because this is not the first time. The outbreak of the subprime mortgage crisis in 2007 triggered a global financial crisis. Ordinary people who are watching melons think that North America is the biggest loser, but in fact, Europeans are.
Under such a general environment, whether it is Luo Sheng or Lao Zhang, he is still quite confident in stabilizing the euro zone market.
All that is in the world is eternal interests. When interests are negotiated, nothing is a problem.
Sren, who was in charge, looked at Zhang Bowen with a face that seemed to be owed millions of euros by others: "Mr. Zhang, don't overestimate yourself. You are just a company. It's very naive to threaten the Executive Committee."
Zhang Bowen was calm and said calmly: "His Excellency Sranne, this is not a threat. I am just explaining the truth. The truth is that both of us are actually quite bad. I think we want to find a solution that both sides can satisfy, that's all."
After saying that, Lao Zhang was full of contempt. These Europeans have been at this point. A group of down-and-out nobles can't let go of their faces. Who can show them?
