Take Off My Aviation Era - Chapter 1718
Italy, Genoa…
As the second largest city in the Mediterranean region after Marseille in France, Genoa has been the industrial center of the Apennines since ancient times. Today, its metallurgy, chemical industry, energy and shipbuilding are still famous in Europe and the world.
Supporting all of this is the Ansaldo Group, which has a history of 150 years and is known as the Pearl of Genoa and the pillar of Italian industry.
Originally the most low-key all-round industrial giant in Europe, the Ansaldo Group has developed well after the Cold War, especially the heavy-duty gas turbine business. Thanks to the support of Germany’s Siemens, it started from the assembly of Siemens’ heavy-duty gas turbines, step by step. Try to produce peripheral components, then to core components, and finally purchase intellectual property rights and licenses to start production on their own.
It’s been a smooth journey along the way.
Although the market share of heavy-duty gas turbines is only about 10%, the Ansaldo Group still makes a lot of money with its high value-added products.
I thought that with such a slow development, the Ansaldo Group could join Alstom in France and Siemens in Germany to become one of the three pillars of Europe’s all-round industrial field, thereby cooperating with the low-carbon and green development in Europe. China’s energy policy has set off a green industrial revolution.
Not only can it occupy the moral commanding heights, but it can also promote a new round of industrial investment and economic development.
By then, let alone the United States, the arrival of aliens will not be able to stop Europe from regaining its place on the top of the world.
While Europe was rushing to build its own huge plan, the subprime mortgage crisis in the United States suddenly broke out. Although the transmission of financial institutions has affected Europe a lot, it is still controllable on the whole, so many sharp-eyed people People in European industry feel that this is a golden opportunity.
As the saying goes, take advantage of his illness to kill him.
The US financial crisis will inevitably hit its entities severely. Europe can take this opportunity to succeed. Even if the United States cannot be reaped, it is still possible to strengthen the status of the euro and enhance the European power of speech, relying on the United States.
Therefore, France’s Alstom, Germany’s Siemens, and Italy’s Ansaldo Group began to actively contact and establish an offensive and defensive alliance to actively respond to the encroachment of the European market by General Motors Group before the subprime mortgage crisis.
They even attempted a wave of counter-attack and merged the energy division of General Motors in the United States into a subsidiary of European holdings.
For this reason, the most powerful Siemens even made a detailed plan. First, it joined forces with Alstom to form a powerful industrial entity, then initiated a takeover offer to General Motors, and finally turned back to the Ansaldo Group. Mergers and acquisitions have formed the largest all-round industrial conglomerate in human history.
So as to lay the cornerstone of Europe’s return to the hegemony!
It is a pity that the three thoughts were perfect, and their plans were seamless. No matter whether it was in the legal field, business rules, or ethics, they couldn’t fault it.
But with such an impeccably meticulous plan, the first step is over.
What is GM?
The undisputed originator of American industry, the undisputed industrial crown, how many European brothers want to buy when they form a group?
TM does not take a **** to take photos of how many catties they are. However, the European industrial giants such as Siemens are not waiting for General Motors to wait for death, but more fierce anti-kill.
Isn’t Siemens preparing to merge with Alstom in France?
Yes, but let’s pass the antitrust barrier first!
What? There is no monopoly!
Then, can I have a direct monopoly?
So GM did not say a word and initiated a takeover offer to Alstom’s core energy sector. Both Alstom itself and the French government expressed opposition to it. On the one hand, they rejected the acquisition of GM by various reasons. It is for Siemens to speed up the progress of mergers and acquisitions.
Americans are not vegetarians. Siemens wants to speed up mergers and acquisitions? Yes, let’s wipe Greece’s **** clean first, because the US Goldman Sachs directly detonated the Greek debt trap and caused the entire Europe to fall into a debt crisis.
As the industrial engine of Europe, Siemens of Germany suffered huge losses. At the same time, the collective pressure of the United States on technology, finance, garrison and domestic politics in Germany directly caused Siemens to give up the so-called acquisition of Alstom. plan.
Alstom did not expect the teammates behind him to talk so hard at the critical moment, leaving him alone in the face of the powerful offensive of General Motors in the United States. He originally wanted to show the pride of the French Gallic chicken, but the Americans did not. For you to play with that set, I directly came to the long-arm jurisdiction, which confuses Alstom, and let the French government directly play the white chess.
In this way, General Motors not only obtained Alstom’s core energy business, but also detonated the European debt crisis and transferred the negative impact of the subprime mortgage crisis on the United States, which is tantamount to indirectly cutting a wave of European leeks.
However, although France’s Alstom was dismembered, it was still sober at the last minute. It sold its two H-class heavy-duty gas turbine intellectual property rights and production technology to Italy’s Ansaldo Group. In order to leave a trace of fire for the future revival of their own energy business.
In this way, the Italian Ansaldo Group has become one of the few manufacturers in the world that can simultaneously produce E, F and H three-level heavy-duty gas turbine manufacturers.
On the surface, it seems that the scenery is boundless, but in fact, due to the repeated blows of the subprime mortgage crisis and the European debt crisis, UU Reading www.uukanshu.com Ansaldo Group has long been in a tight capital chain and has become precarious.
After Alstom, who was able to help him, was directly dismembered by General Motors of the United States and swallowed the fattest, tenderest, and most delicious piece of meat, his vitality was greatly injured.
German Siemens has been repeatedly warned and can only tremble in Germany. As long as the American elder brother does not move himself, Europe loves whoever hells, as long as the American boss is happy.
As for those European banks, they were all locked up by the European debt crisis, and they couldn’t get half of their money. Even countries went bankrupt one by one. What is an enterprise like the Ansaldo Group.
Therefore, the Ansaldo Group, which owns the world’s top heavy-duty gas turbine production technology and intellectual property rights and is firmly established as the world’s fourth-largest manufacturer of heavy-duty gas turbines, is just like a baby in the confinement, and can only lie down and wait for the white horse. The knight’s bite of milk continued his life.
At this time, an entrepreneur named Zhuang Jianye from China landed on the Apennine Peninsula. After learning about the Ansaldo Group’s experience, he immediately expressed great sympathy, so apart from anything else, he directly expressed that China Ascendas was willing to invest 220. 100 million yuan to help Ansaldo Group tide over the difficulties, provided that its heavy-duty gas turbine business will be fully integrated into China and take off!
