In addition, Internet finance may be messy. Alibaba first invented the balance treasure, suddenly led the domestic Internet financial development.

Whether layoffs are the best medicine for the layoffs of foreign companies, the CEO of Xu, the chief executive, said that in the west, the demand for professional managers is that profits must increase, so layoffs are often one of the main ways to cut costs. "If companies lose money this year, after the layoffs, profits are likely to grow in the next few years, and earnings will look better." If we do not lay off workers and have no clear path to development, it is difficult to satisfy the capital market. Wang Yu, vice president of the Greater China region of the group and the managing director of real Estate Consulting, said that for global layoffs, from the regional market point of view, layoffs are not necessarily bad, the need for detailed analysis of the enterprise.

Wang Yu told the south reporters that there are generally two kinds of layoffs, one is the enterprise initiative to adjust personnel, to eliminate the era of employees, to release resources, to more suitable people. The other is shock-type therapies, which follow the market in a short period of time, when the market is not good to lay off. "This layoff is not desirable, on the one hand, the impact of corporate reputation, on the other hand, the staff after the separation of the market after a good combination is to pay a great price." "For 70% or 80% of employees, it is acceptable to be cut," Xu said. "In the case of layoffs, a lot of people can get 3+x, even 6+x salary, which means that if you work for 3 years and you get a 9-month salary after you're laid off, it's relatively good." Another company, and the salary is not necessarily less than before. But for another 20% of employees, they are more miserable. This type of employee is often technical and professionally limited, requiring more time adjustment and job hunting. "This type of employee is more common in the IT industry. But layoffs are definitely not a panacea for the turnaround of the business. In the overall depression of the IT industry, industrial transformation has become the only way, in Xu View, the future of the integration of oligarch mergers, enterprises for the development of new markets and product lines can make the long-term development of enterprises.
