U.S. time November 3, 2009 PM, German time on November 3 night, Beijing time at 5:00 on November 4, General Motors announced that it would maintain control of Opel, Opel to give up its majority stake in the sale and from Russia to the Magna plan Spartak bank. The news is like a heavy bomb car in the German political and industry immediately set off the layers of waves. Even in the middle of the night in Germany, Opel headquarters of the Hesse state governor test He first reaction to this news is: fierce words: so that the taxpayers from loss to Germany! GM employees in the least impact on the basis of Opel Opel will be raised to its original height. Visiting German Chancellor, Ms. Angela Merkel was very surprised to hear the news, which is definitely a shock for her, because she was very supportive of Magna. In this connection she immediately talked with President Obama. GM is totally dependent on U.S. government aid was able to survive, so the U.S. government has a great influence on the general power. But the U.S. government stated that it was not involved GM's decision.
has been on the sale of GM Opel's attitude as root the two groups: one group strongly advocated not to sell the Opel, I hope to rectify in order to have benefited from Opel in Germany, the development of advanced technology, and through the European car market Opel continue Fengeng. faction advocating the sale, that even after the sale anyway to have 35% ownership of Opel, the German government support they can get, why not? to emphasize that all of GM Opel did not plan to sell, but only 55% of Opel plans to sell ownership to Macquarie Spartak bank is satisfied and, if the deal, Magna and Spartak Opel Bank will each hold a 27.5% share, the two sides together will be able to control the decision of Opel, GM's share of 35% to retain the remaining 10% share lies in the hands of Opel employees. Meanwhile Opel employees that work in order to ensure the location,UGG bailey button, some of them willing to sacrifice personal gains, including passage of the vacation fund and the German Christmas bonus. The two bonus similar to subsidies and China's Jiejia issued by the New Year red envelopes, showing thick and thin Opel employees and business commitment.

people think that in the acquisition of almost certain when the general suddenly go back on. This allows extremely annoyed politicians in Germany. Opel event before the election in Germany, politicians have to earn votes is an excellent stage, even after the election, as the Opel company in Germany traditional status, its influence should not be overlooked. the Americans had to put a big selling Opel posture of tender, the German government is also vigorously for this assistance and mediation. location of the existing work in order to keep the German government after repeated discussions,UGG boots clearance, Opel will also promised huge subsidies of potential buyers. Now Universal has gone back, no wonder the Germans have a sense of being fooled.

Even two years ago, people would not think of dream, Opel will be up for sale so, if there is no large financial subsidies to the German government has long maintained, then filed for bankruptcy protection.
bleak future?
Opel is currently referred to the Germans are worried about the two Opel way to stay in the old owner or the GM's ownership Magna, does not seem the ideal destination. I and the German experts and the people who talked a lot about this topic . GM is clay Buddha across the river, trouble, but the Magna is just a parts supplier, if it has sufficient capacity, ability to take on the burden of the revitalization of Opel? now thrown out the old club Youxiang Opel Europeans generally unacceptable. Germany's trade unions will protest GM's decision. But Opel is not imperative to retain its working position, but to improve the competitiveness of all aspects of it, for long-term development. Otherwise, Opel will gradually exit the car scene, when there are more people unemployed.

Opel was a car giant, but this giant has getting older; it had brilliant yesterday, but the past glory as a dazzling bubbles do not last long; it was Europe's baby, long ago became a hero of licking wounds seriously injured. ownership and Magna not a good idea, and now GM may not go back on a bad thing. If the general well-remediation Opel, Opel also hopes its feet again. But the Germans also make sense to worry about, GM operations in the past few years, the poor can use
