昨天被Lumileds收購刷屏了吧?可惜了LED照明行業其他活動,跟我搶頭條?找死!
那關于這樁交易,飛利浦自己是怎么說的呢?
筆者第一時間拿到了據傳是飛利浦CEO致全體員工的公開信。一看,樂壞了,介就是一封分手信嘛!這行文、這風格,教科書般的分手信寫法,不信,你看。
以下解讀,純屬娛樂,請勿較真
關于與Lumileds分手的公開信:
This is an important, win-win move for all parties. Let us explain why.
對于所有當事人來說,這都是一件重要的、雙贏的事情。讓我們來分析分析是為神馬。(我們分手是對的!這樣對大家都好!)
With this agreement, we have found the right owner to further build a successful lighting components company in a market that is dominated by scale and cost leadership. After significantly improving the performance of the LED components business over the last few years, and establishing a strong management team and innovation pipeline, Lumileds has shown that this business can further grow, attract more customers and increase scale as a stand-alone company.
首先,對于一家LED元器件公司來說,要想在市場上取得成功,需要有規模效應和成本優勢,通過這次股權轉讓,我們找到了一個合適的接盤俠。是的,跟著它,Lumileds的未來會更好。(你跟著他一定會更幸福的。)
在過去幾年,Lumileds顯著改善了LED元器件業務,組建了強有力的管理團隊和創新渠道,它已經顯示出作為一個獨立公司它的業務能夠取得更大發展、贏得更多客戶和擴大規模。(你已經不需要我了,而且,你需要有更強大的人來讓你變得更強大。)
What’s more, GO Scale Capital is a long term value investor with a track record of growing and scaling technology companies. It has invested in more than 100 companies in the past decade. These investments include Boston Power, a U.S.-based manufacturer of electric vehicle batteries, and International Application Technology (IAT), the largest auto design company in China.
另外,GO Scale Capital是一家長期價值投資者,投了一大串成長型和規模型的技術企業,過去十年投資了100多家,包括美國的電源制造商Boston Power和中國最大的汽車設計公司IAT。(他可不是阿貓阿狗。)
Furthermore, GO Scale Capital’s management has deep knowledge of the semiconductor and LED components industries and has access to a mid-power LED manufacturing base in China. This complements Lumileds’ high-power LED manufacturing footprint and expertise. The combination offers opportunities to expand the company’s addressable markets – so Lumileds looks set for further expansion and growth.
而且,GO Scale Capital的管理團隊很了解半導體和LED元器件行業,在中國他們手上已經有了一個中功率LED的制造基地。這對Lumileds的高功率LED生產 來說是一個補充。這種聯合有望擴大公司的市場——所以Lumileds將實現市場擴張和增長。(他很懂你,還有資源能幫你。)
So what are the benefits of the deal forPhilips?
那么對飛利浦來說又有什么好處呢?(對我來說這也是件好事。)
First, we’re proud to count Lumileds as an important supplier to our Lighting solutions business. Second, we retain a significant stake in what we believe will be a growth company. Third, our innovation partnership continues, under the control of our Lighting Solutions business. Finally, the cash generated from the deal enables Philips to build out its investments going forward.
首先、我們很驕傲Lumileds是我們照明解決方案業務的供應商。(雖然分手了,但是我們還是朋友。)
第二、我們還握有不算少的股份,我們堅信它會持續增值。(我們并沒有一刀兩斷。)
第三、我們在應用方面的創新合作仍在照明解決方案業務的主導下持續進行。(我們依然可以在一起愉快地玩耍。)
最后、通過這次股權套現,飛利浦能去做更多新的投資。(有了錢,現在我可以做我想做的事情了。)
We know a new entrepreneurial spirit is being unlocked in Lumileds that will unleash an even more powerful company in the marketplace.
我們深信,一種新的企業精神正在Lumileds誕生,松綁后的Lumileds一定會在市場上變得更強大。(祝你好運!)
