Almighty Technology Giant - v2 Chapter 530
Siemens headquarters in Munich, Germany.
At this moment, the German industrial giant is holding an internal high-level meeting, and the chief operating officer looks around at the participating corporate executives, saying: “The 2023 quarterly report results have reached expectations, and the market value of Siemens Group is currently close to 145 billion euros. Revenue increased by 5.11 year-on-year %, Reaching 92.3 billion euros; net income increased by 12% to 7.62 billion euros. Actual revenue increased by 2.1%, but the business of power generation and natural gas groups still fell sharply, dragged down by power generation and natural gas groups, and new orders fell by 1% To 96.7 billion euros. “
“During this period, Siemens’ market value increased by 12.4% to 139.2 billion euros. The profit of the physical business increased by 10% year-on-year to 11.6 billion euros. Building Technology Group, Digital Industry Group, Transportation Group and Process Industry and Driven Group all achieved double-digit The growth offset the negative impact of the decline in performance of the Power Generation and Natural Gas Group and Siemens Gamesa. “
After the report was completed, the current head of Siemens, Joe Caesar, nodded and said in a deep voice: “This performance financial report can achieve a surplus, mainly based on peers. The old rival GE GE is now in trouble, the United States The confusion is so bad that the authorities will be impeached, and the turbulence will inevitably continue for a year or two. In fact, most of the company’s industrial business profit growth is not enough to offset the sharp decline in the profits of power generation and natural gas groups. “
“Now, the weak global power generation market and the overcapacity of large gas turbines have led to a sharp decline in orders and dragged down the performance of power generation and natural gas groups. However, it should also be seen that the currency of some countries has generally devalued in recent years, affecting Argentina, India, Russia, etc The main products of power generation and natural gas groups are boilers, steam turbines, generators, etc., which are all high-net-worth capital and require a large amount of foreign exchange to pay. “
Having said that, Caesar said with joy and helplessness: “Recently there has been a big mess in the United States. The next year will enter a period of global capital contraction. The capital market financing costs have increased significantly, leading to a large number of high capital expenditure companies The project has to shrink in size, which will definitely affect the company’s orders. “
The main sales regions of Siemens power generation equipment are still developing regions with relatively large incremental power demand. The wind power business also failed to meet expectations. The performance of Gamesa Renewable Energy Co., Ltd. fell by 19% year-on-year, and the earnings before interest and taxes were 180 million euros, a 56% decrease from the 320 million euros reported last year, and the main factor that hit Siemens Gamesa’s performance was competition from its counterparts in China.
The main pressure to compete with the Chinese people is not yet a technical issue, but from price pressure, especially onshore wind power. Frankly speaking, both Europeans and Americans have a headache for the Chinese people ’s “cabbage price” Dafa. Caesar really wanted to cut off this business at the same time. Let them go out, and when they have money, they will open up new fields immediately, and then continue to re-enact the skills …
So even if it is a loss, you have to hold it.
During the meeting, Caesar’s secretary came in and whispered next to him: “Sir, the Vice President of the European Group of Coastline Group came to visit, and I hope to talk to you about the possible commercial cooperation between the two parties.”
Cooperation?
Siemens does not have much business with the Coastline Group, but there are still cooperation, mainly the semiconductor industry, but the scale is not large, Siemens’ core business is still electrical.
These are very large multinational giants, and business crossovers are nothing new.
and many more…!
Suddenly Caesar’s heart swelled. Is the new business cooperation?
Suddenly, I immediately thought of the recent events, and the Coastline Group has recently quarreled with the Americans. It is still in a fierce lawsuit.
Doesn’t that mean …
Thinking of the excitement in Caesar’s heart, but holding back without any expression, he got up and groaned, “Challenging!”
Immediately, he left the conference table first, and his secretary quickly walked to keep up.
A few minutes later, in a VIP reception room, Caesar saw a face from Huaxia with a warm reception: “Mr. Hu Yang, Siemens Group welcomes you.”
Obviously, Caesar knew the vice president of the Coastline Group’s European region. In the European market, to have significant business dealings with the Coastline Group, he basically had to deal with Populus euphratica.
Natural recognition.
“Mr. Caesar, I dare to make a blunt visit this time,” Hu Yang said with a smile. Caesar smiled and said that it was okay and waited for his following.
For a moment, Hu Yang added: “I am here to forward this letter to you on behalf of the headquarters. This is a letter from Ms. Qiao Wei, a managing director and CEO of Lifelight of our group.”
After speaking, Hu Yang immediately took out a paper letter from his arms.
“Oh?”
Caesar was surprised when he heard it, and the paper letter seemed more solemn. The head of Siemens couldn’t help paying attention to it, and opened the letter silently and read it silently.
After dozens of seconds, Caesar’s eyes staring at the letter suddenly opened, and he stood upright in shock: “God, is this true? Your company and (National Grid) will invest in 247 projects in Latin America, Africa and Europe , Totaling $ 350 billion ???
Even though he tried to hide it, Caesar’s hands holding the letter still shivered, and his heart shouted with excitement.
This group of Chinese people is really crazy. This kind of super large-scale expenditure super project is absolutely impossible to establish in Europe, and no country has the ability to do it, nor can the European Union.
First of all, this $ 350 billion cannot be pulled out. It is impossible, and no one has the ability to unite European member states. This kind of thing can only be done by Chinese people, and only Chinese people dare to do so.
Hu Yang smiled heartily. Rao, the head of German industrial giant Siemens, could n’t calm down. He liked to see those Europeans and Americans who had never seen a big world, but then again, no one can calm down this matter, because the letter is so impressive. There is a paragraph, which simply means that the Siemens Group is invited to “join the company”.
“Mr. Caesar, as we all know, we have already announced the establishment of the world’s first global power grid. Our group of companies, Ray of Life, has joined in and led the global power grid international plan. This is an ambitious and ambitious international plan. Win-win projects, Siemens Group is the industry’s world-renowned giant … “
With a calm face, when Populus euphratica talked about here, Caesar’s heart became more and more inexpressible. Besides, as long as he can join the huge international plan of Huaxia people, he can invest more than 200 large projects. With a piece of cake, Siemens Power Generation and Natural Gas Group will inevitably be able to turn a profit quickly. What are you worried about overcapacity? With so many investment projects, boilers, steam turbines, generators, etc. have to be purchased.
This is, Hu Yang added with regret: “It’s true, our group company originally tended to cooperate with the North American General Electric Group, because he leaned on the strong United States, and now the reason is well known, although our group The company’s recent lawsuit with North America will not prevent us from cooperating with GE ~ www.mtlnovel.com ~ However, for such a large-scale project, we need stability even more. “
“There is no doubt that North America now has too many unstable uncertainties. In comparison, German and German industrial giant Siemens have become our best international cooperation partners. We believe that Germany is more stable now than the United States.”
Hearing this, Caesar laughed in his heart, and laughed in his heart, almost dreaming to wake up.
Even when trying to cover up, but the inner emotion still can’t stop showing three points, the smile is really difficult to cover up.
It is estimated that GE Group is mad at vomiting blood, and Apple. In recent years, GE has robbed Siemens of countless orders by relying on the intervention of the United States. If this time it can recover a city, all the previous ones can be repaired. come back.
Caesar’s heart was dark, as if he had breathed out of his heart for five years, and he even wanted to see the old man’s mood when he knew the news.
