, replica uggs PARIS: For the boss of General Electric, the trials and tribulations of doing business in France are summed up in the lyric of an old Rolling Stones song: You can t always get what you want, but if you try sometimes you just might find you get what you need. This pragmatic approach to one of the Western world s most complex business environments, spelt out in a blog by Jeff Immelt to staff after GE secured parts of Alstom s energy business, highlights France s uneasy investment image.For some, government involvement in the Alstom saga which included pushing through a decree expanding its powers to block takeover deals in strategic sectors, and the state taking 20 per cent stake in Alstom has added to their concerns. The GE-Alstom deal is another negative example of the protectionist French attitude, the German country head of a large investment bank said. In France, bosses are sometimes taken hostage and tyres are burned, but on top of that the state interferes even if companies don t ask for it, said the banker, who declined to be named to avoid harming prospects of doing business in France. He was referring to frequent worker protests over layoffs and so-called boss-nappings in which employees lock managers in their business premises overnight to demand concessions.Other observers are more phlegmatic. GE s experience shows that for all its reputation, France isn t necessarily hostile to foreign takeovers if the acquirers know which buttons to push.Ultimately, Paris agreed to the sale of Alstom s lucrative gas turbine assets and a joint venture in the sensitive nuclear arm, acknowledging the struggling firm could not go on alone. Indeed, the GE-Alstom deal was the second time in months that the Socialist government has allowed an iconic company to bring in foreign capital. China s Dongfeng became a shareholder in car-maker PSA-Peugeot-Citroen alongside the French state as part of a capital injection. Shareholders backed the deal in April. It s not like it s a forbidden land for M A. Deals happen all the time, said Daniel Holland, senior equity analyst at Morningstar, who covers GE and other conglomerates. It s just a reminder that the government still has a role regardless of how much you think the market should decide. In the Alstom battle, patience, presentation and job creation were key. Immelt led a charm offensive which included meetings with President Francois Hollande and pro-intervention Economy Minister Arnaud Montebourg, wooing lawmakers and trade unions as well as advertising in leading newspapers and radio.Faced with a rival offer by Germany s Siemens and Japan s Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, GE totally revamped its offer to turn it from a straight purchase into one including joint ventures, a state stake-holding and veto on nuclear strategy.It sought advice from asset management and advisory firm Lazard some of whose managers have ties with Hollande going back years and vowed to create 1,000 new jobs within three years or accept a fine of 50,000 euros ($68,000) for every job short of that target.A strong asset for GE was having establishment insider Clara Gaymard ex-head of the Invest in France agency and wife of a former minister at the head of its French business and a very public advocate for the bid. GE also made widely known that it has had a permanent industrial presence in France for some 40 years, making it anything but a hostile American predator.
