发帖数: 6442 | 1 海尔将以超过40亿美元买下GE Appliances Business
The GE transaction, however, would vault the Chinese company past Electrolux
and other rivals in the U.S. market for white goods, which is currently led
by Whirlpool. Sales for the GE Appliances and Lighting, of which appliances
is the lion’s share, were $8.4 billion in 2014.
Haier held talks with GE in 2008 to buy the U.S. firm’s appliance unit. In
2010, a Haier executive said the company didn’t buy at the time because the
price for the unit was too high. Haier also made an unsuccessful bid for
Maytag Corp. in 2004, but lost out to Whirlpool.

I hope GE enjoys their 40 pieces of silver...

I hope this deal gets blocked. There are 13,000 manufacturing jobs at stake
in the 1000 acre appliance park in Louisville, Kentucky. Should this deal be
approved rest assured Haier and its K Street lobbyists will ship these jobs
to their Chinese factories. Enough is enough. I am tired of watching
American manufacturing be dismantled in this country.

Part of GE's move to a service led business...contrary to public knowledge,
Haier is an exceptional company with excellent products, robust governance
and global ambitions.

Another great American brand gone. It seems like only yesterday we were
buying a houseful of GE appliances. Hey, how long was I napping anyway?

@JOHN KLIMCHAK - GE appliances & great don't belong in the same sentence
I have them (inherited when I bought my condo) & they're junk
the rest of your post is spot on

Obviously this sale is going to be blocked due to national security concerns.
Although if it did go through, shouldn't GE send Justice a thank you card
for the extra $700M?

@Christopher Boylan I don't know why you say obviously? Perhaps you explain.

Great job, Justice Department. You blocked the sale to Electrolux, a
European (Swedish) company, known for quality, now we're stuck with a
Chinese company.

@Chris Holten Given the Iranian humiliation of the United States two days
ago, the bar has been raised under President Obama as to what constitutes a
"national embarrassment" to the United States.

Well, there goes GE as an appliance maker, right down the crapper.
If the Chinese take over the brand you can expect junk for years to come.
It's time to buy a GE appliance now before they take over.
GE made such a big deal about how they brought their manufacturing process
right here in the USA and use mostly parts made in America unless foreign
parts are unavoidable.
I guess that now becomes a fairy tale.

@Louis Ciola Jeff Immelt is an Obama toady, steeped in the Alinsky art of
prevarication. You didn't seriously believe anything he ever said, did you?

GE appliances have gone down in quality over the years compared to the
competition, so perhaps it's fitting that they sell to a Chinese company
known for selling cheap junk appliances. They can slap the GE brand on
something made in China, get rid of the high-priced US employees, and
improve their profit picture quickly.
The Justice Department did the US consumer no favor in blocking the earlier
deal.

@Jim Rygg hey, business is business. seems our government prefers that GE
sells the unit to china. i do not see any anti trust problem here.

As if GE appliances haven't been cheapened enough lately. I guess Whirlpool
is the way to go

Why is it that an American company cannot buy more than 50% of a Chinese
company, but Chinese companies can buy 100% of US companies?

@Michael Allie Gee I dunno Mike. Why is it that Iran can kidnap American
sailors and use them for propaganda but the U.S. Army must let a Muslim
lunatic like "Major" Hasan loose in its ranks and then immediately lecture
American soldiers about "Islamophobia" afterward?

Out of the crying Finns (OK, Swedes), into the Haier. |
