General Electric improved its offer for Alstom's energy assets after meeting with French President Francois Hollande on Wednesday, agreeing to create 1,000 new industrial jobs in France.
周三,通用电气(GE)在与法国总统弗朗索瓦o奥朗德举行会议后,提高了竞购阿尔斯通(Alstom)能源资产的条件,同意在法国创造1,000个新的工业就业机会。
President Hollande's government welcomed GE's improved offer and said the guarantees are now more specific in the wake of a meeting between the president and CEO Jeffrey Immelt in Paris. Hollande and his Economy Minister Arnaud Montebourg had been critical of the $17 billion bid until now due to concerns about securing the local workforce. Over 3.3 million people are unemployed in France, over 10% of the workforce.
奥朗德政府对通用电气提高竞购条件表示欢迎,称在法国总统和通用电气公司首席执行官杰弗里o伊梅尔特举行巴黎会议后,后者保证的条件现在更加具体了。在此之前,奥朗德和法国经济部长阿尔诺o蒙特布尔一直对通用电气以170亿美元收购阿尔斯通持批评意见,因为他们在保护本地劳动力方面存在担忧。法国有超过330万人失业,占到劳动力总数的10%以上。
Immelt appeared before France's National Assembly on Tuesday and appeased lawmakers' concerns that the U.S. company would protect jobs in the nation's industrial sector and ensure the country's energy independence. GE also said it would open new sites in addition to creating jobs.
伊梅尔特出席了法国国民议会在周二举行的听证会,安抚议员们的忧虑情绪。他说,通用电气将保护法国工业领域的就业机会,同时保障法国的能源独立。通用电气同样表示,它在创造就业机会之外还将开办新的工厂。
The French government has also been wooing other bidders for the Paris-based company's energy unit as it negotiates with GE. Montebourg has been a vocal proponent of a bid from German-based Siemens.
法国政府在跟通用电气进行协商的同时,也在拉拢其他公司参与对阿尔斯通能源资产的竞购。蒙特布尔曾表示支持德国西门子(Siemens)收购阿尔斯通。
Siemens plans to make an official offer by June 16 at the latest and has considered trading its trainmaking business for Alstom's energy assets, according to news agency reports. GE countered that it would also be willing to partner with Alstom on its rail signaling unit and would consider selling the business to Alstom to strengthen its smaller transport arm, allowing the engineering group to compete with larger Asian rivals.
