Coquettish Rebirth

Chapter 2197 Kia Dilemma

If you don't understand, you don't know, and when you understand, you will be shocked!Although this Kia is only the eighth among Korean car companies, they actually have 38 series companies themselves—that is to say, excluding subsidiaries in various places, there are 37 companies that manufacture various supporting products for cars alone!Of course, this includes sales companies and the like, but it also includes a series of companies such as engine factories and assembly factories!Of course, there are many inexplicable investment companies.

As for Kia, the size of the entire company is the eighth in South Korea, but in fact their sales volume is very high - it is second!In other words, such a company is actually the same as Huaxia Hi-Tech, mainly taking the route of cheap cars. At the same time, it also proves that their profit margin is really the first, and it can even be said that it is a bit ridiculously low!It is estimated that it is because of such a low profit margin that although their company sells a lot of things, it does not make much money, and then invests in various factory equipment for development, which requires a lot of money, and then Borrow foreign debt.Encountered things like market shocks.

Then, this Kia company is owned by Ford of the United States with 9% of the shares, and then Mazda and Itochu Corporation hold 7% and 2% of the shares respectively, which are regarded as minority shareholders.Ford is one of the minority shareholders. According to the Koreans, they are very interested in Kia.

In addition, when Jia Hongjian and the others came here, they didn't just listen to the tricks of the South Korean people. They were accompanied by the staff of the embassy here.As for the staff, they quietly stuffed Jia Hongjian with a document—this document was a survey report on the auto industry market released by the South Korean side last year, and it was considered public.Then according to this report it is shown.South Korea now has 1000 million cars, according to the South Korean "government"'s own estimates.Roughly until 2009, South Korea will have a total of 2000 million cars.

After reading this document, Jia Hongjian knew that the Korean market was almost saturated.After all, in any case, the so-called prediction of the South Korean "government" is 10 years later. There will be a total of 1000 million vehicles in these ten years, so 100 million vehicles per year.Roughly the same?But just this Kia company itself has a production capacity of 100 million vehicles a year at full power!Then there are more than a dozen companies competing for such a market!In this way, isn't it obvious that we have fallen into a stage of overproduction?At such a stage, it is no wonder that SAIC has not performed well for several years after buying Ssangyong.Originally, the South Korean market already has excess products and excess production capacity, and with the addition of rising oil prices, isn’t it getting more and more sad?

It is no wonder that later generations of Korean car companies have come to China to develop the market.They can't continue to play in their own country, and not many people buy cars anymore, and then there is a huge market next to their country, how could they not come here?

But this Kia also has its own problems-they are just like Shougang Wuhan Iron and Steel, the diversity is a mess.Of the 38 related companies mentioned earlier, 28 of your sister's are closed projects!In addition to the special steel project that I have heard of before.They even have an apartment cleaning company!Your sister, Kia, if you don't go bankrupt like this, it's unreasonable for you!A company that makes cars, but if you don’t make good cars, you actually clean apartments for others?Do you dare to talk a little more?Do you want to learn from Wuhan Iron and Steel Shougang to make furniture and raise pigs?

Jia Hongjian would definitely not want this kind of apartment cleaning company.It's okay.South Korea is also reasonable, and they chose to split up the business and sell it.Companies that invest in special steel will sell them separately.Then apartment cleaning and the like will be taken out and sold separately.In this way, if Jia Hongjian and the others wanted to bid, they would just bid for the car company business and the Kia brand.

"Mr. Jia, if you want to buy Kia, you have to think clearly. The labor price in South Korea has risen sharply. The salary increase in the past two years has exceeded the increase in gp. The result is that now the economic crisis has hit South Korea. After returning to developing countries, the wages of their workers are now far higher than the level of social and economic development. According to a statistical result of their Korean "government" years ago, the average wages of employees of large Korean conglomerates have reached 11 per hour. The level of the US dollar is basically the same as that of Italy and France. In this way, the cost of their products will be very high, and the final result is that it may not be good for the products to go overseas...”[

Wipe it!You really have to come and see for yourself!When Jia Hongjian looked here, he heard so much news that he didn't even know in China before!And now he knows why SAIC Group has tried everything possible to reduce the salary level of Ssangyong Group employees - your sister's products do not meet French standards, and the brand does not have French cattle, but the cost has already reached French standards !How to sell this product?The price tag is about the same as the French one?Why don't people buy French products?

Originally, Jia Hongjian wondered whether SAIC had gotten used to cheap labor in China, but couldn’t adapt to the slightly higher wage level in South Korea, so he lowered the wages with his life and death thinking, and as a result, the workers were unfairly squeezed, so he decided to There was a riot - just to see Korean workers making screws and cannons, and fighting with the police, according to the thinking of the Chinese people, who didn't have to be "forced" to have no choice but to "revolt"?

What a good result!If you inquire now, it turns out that it's not that SAIC suppressed you too much, it's that your sister's vested interests are not willing to give up their generous treatment at all!$11 an hour, according to the 8-hour work day, that day is $88!It costs more than 700 RMB!A worker’s daily salary is only 700 RMB, and if he works 22 days a month, that’s more than 4000 RMB!Even in Shanghai these days, the salary is only one-tenth of others, okay?And still do the same job!

If Jia Hongjian encountered such a situation, of course he should try to lower his wages as much as possible!Otherwise, if it is only the labor cost, if the Bujing 660 is produced in South Korea later, the cost will increase by a lot!How can this still make money?Even Jia Hongjian now wants to talk about the problems that these big Korean companies experienced in the 97 Asian financial crisis, it was all because these workers took too much money!This is not to say that the capitalists cannot exploit the surplus value anymore, but that the workers are given too much, which leads to the decline of the company's own competitiveness and profit margins. As a result, the entire company is walking a tightrope!If you encounter a little storm, you won't be able to survive it!

If Jia Hongjian was still very optimistic when he first came to Korea and felt that he was going to pick up fat, then now Jia Hongjian has begun to realize the cruelty of reality, and has begun to realize that this Kia will not matter what he does. It is said that it is a company with many problems!No matter what other sellers did in history, there is no reference material in front of Jia Hongjian now.If Jia Hongjian wants to make Kia a top [-] company after buying Kia, then the problem of high wages for workers must be solved, and the problem of high costs must be solved!

With a labor union like the black society, it is obviously impossible to move the production line and factory to China, and it is obviously impossible to enter the large-scale automatic production line.At the same time, in the Kia Group, there are almost 3 employees in the automotive business alone.These [-] employees need RMB [-] or [-] million in wages per month!This fixed expense is really amazing!So how to solve this problem in Kia?Jia Hongjian kept this question in his mind.

Bad news comes one after another.After the visit here, Jia Hongjian asked the embassy in South Korea about the news about Kia in the past two years.As a result, I don’t know if I don’t look at it. This Kia’s labor union is really awesome-in 96, the Kia Group had found that the company’s operation was too difficult, so it considered independent Kia’s automobile business and became its own company. operate.As a result, the trade unions of the entire Kia Group protested strongly-in fact, other branches are supported by Kia Motors!They can make Kia Motors independent?Can they let Kia Motors throw their baggage away?So there was a strike!

Then, let’s forget about it when this matter is over. In 97, South Korea wanted to change the labor law. It was not Kia’s business, but Kia’s labor union also started to go on strike, saying that it was in response to the calls of other labor unions across the country. The result was good. What made Kia stop production again!Can you live this day?To be honest, for a moment, Jia Hongjian really thought about whether to procrastinate, not to buy Kia's car business, but to wait to see if no one would buy Kia, and directly auction off related technologies or something At that time, Jia Hongjian and the others just spent money on technology, regardless of whether the workers were dead or alive.

However, this idea is wonderful, but Jia Hongjian himself knew it was impossible if it could be done.Because the Ford next to it is still eyeing it!Ford is still thinking about buying this Kia!So the matter is basically, either hand over Kia to Ford, or Jia Hongjian will pay for Kia, and then think about how to solve the big problem of Kia!

So, can Jia Hongjian come up with a solution to the Kia problem?Regardless of whether he thinks about it or not, in half a month, a bidding meeting hosted by the Korean "government" will be held.At the bidding meeting, many overseas buyers will flock to them, and then everyone will ask for the price of the company they want to sell, and finally the South Korean "government" will choose a high price...
