Former Dollar General CEO Vasos is back and Wall Street cheers. Shares up sharply_我的网站

wps

A | Shares of Dollar General are up more than 7% before the opening bell Friday after the discount chain said Todd Vasos will be returning as CEO after a streak of disappointing quarterly profits.The company has missed Wall Street profit projections in four of the five past quarters and shares have fallen nearly 60% this year. The company has also wrestled with a number of labor issues. In July a National Labor Relations Board judge said that Dollar General violated federal labor law and “clearly intended to interfere” with worker rights in efforts to quell unionization at a Connecticut store.Violations from the Dolgen Corp., which operates Dollar General stores, included wrongfully firing an employee and making an implied threat to close the location in Barkhamsted, the NLRB decision read — adding that the company also sent corporate officials to the store and other locations across Connecticut in response to a 2021 union drive.Beyond unionization, Dollar General has faced multiple penalties for store safety over the years — including federal citations for electrical hazards and obstructed fire exits. As of May, the Labor Department’s Occupational Safety and Health Administration had proposed more than $21 million in penalties since 2017 after conducting 240 store inspections nationwide.Vasos stepped down as Dollar General’s top executive in 2022 after seven years. He takes over from Jeff Owen.Under Vasos' leadership, Dollar General expanded its store base by about 7,000 locations, added nearly 60,000 net new jobs, increased annual sales revenue by more than 80%, and more than doubled its market capitalization to approximately $58 billion. "At this time the board has determined that a change in leadership is necessary to restore stability and confidence in the company moving forward,” the company's chairman, Michael Calbert, said in a prepared statement.While saying the switch back to Vasos is not surprising, Citi analyst Paul Lejuez said many of the issues beguiling the company took root under his control. “While many of the issues surfaced shortly after Owen took over the CEO role, we believe many of these challenges had their origins while Vasos was CEO,” said in report published shortly after the leadership change was announced. “We do not believe there is a simple fix.” Dollar General, based in Goodlettsville, Tennessee, expects 2023 net sales growth in a range of 1.5% to 2.5%. Its prior outlook was for sales growth between 1.3% and 3.3%.。

英国《金融时报》5月12日报道，欧盟国际伙伴事务委员尤塔·乌尔皮莱宁（Jutta Urpilainen）称，中国在向全球南方国家提供基础设施投资上表现得更加灵活，而欧盟的融资往往附带冗杂的环境和社会条件，这使得欧盟的“全球门户”计划难以抗衡中国的“一带一路”倡议。

“我们生活在一个地缘政治竞争的时代。我们正面临叙事之争，但越来越多也是‘要约之争’（a battle of offers）。

C | ”报道称，乌尔皮莱宁指的是中国迅速为“一带一路”合作伙伴提供融资并快速完成项目的承诺。

“中国一直很懂战略（strategic）。”乌尔皮莱宁对《金融时报》说，“例如，如果你去非洲旅行，就能看到与中国合作的实际成果......无论是足球场、铁路、港口，还是公路。”

她承认，欧盟“的确可能不是最快的合作伙伴”，许多与欧盟有合作的国家也乐见来自中国的投资，但她坚称欧盟是更好的长期合作伙伴。她宣称，中国公司经常同时建设并资助同一个海外项目，这造成了伙伴国对中国的“巨大依赖”。

乌尔皮莱宁进一步声称，欧盟寻求的是帮助伙伴国提升价值链。“我们的目标是加强（欧盟）合作伙伴的应变能力、自立能力和独立性，这也符合我们自己的利益。

不过，尽管乌尔皮莱宁说自己有信心在2027年以前实现通过“全球门户”提供3000亿欧元投资的目标，但她同时表示，欧盟新出台的环境规则加大了向发展中国家向欧盟出口可可、钢铁等产品的难度，疏远了合作伙伴。

报道说，其中包括一项森林砍伐法，该法迫使咖啡、棕榈油和橡胶等六种商品的出口商证明这些商品不是在最近被砍伐的土地上生产的。亚洲、非洲和拉丁美洲的一些国家政府抱怨，这些规定过于繁琐、认证程度过于复杂，还要求小型农户对其作物进行地理定位，有可能让这成千上万人的生计毁于一旦。

欧盟农业委员雅努什·沃伊切霍夫斯基（Janusz Wojciechowski）和欧盟20个成员国的农业部长也要求暂停实施这项适用于欧盟的法律。目前，欧盟已暂时放宽了该法律的要求，以回应担忧，但乌尔皮莱宁表示，她更希望推迟该法律的实施，“我认为重要的是进行对话，然后帮助我们的合作伙伴满足条件”。

据报道，乌尔皮莱宁还在访问中回避了有关欧盟将各国打击移民的行动作为提供发展资金的条件，以及与突尼斯、埃及签署合作协议的批评。对许多难民而言，突尼斯和埃及是穿越地中海前往欧洲的“中转站”。

欧盟在2021年提出了“全球门户”计划，预计将在2027年前投入3000亿欧元，协助发展中国家建设基础设施。虽然欧盟避免直接提及中国，但法新社等外媒指出，这项计划显然是想对抗中国的“一带一路”倡议。然而，此前有媒体评价，尽管欧盟大肆宣传这项计划，但其在具体项目的落实上却缺乏进展。

对于欧盟提出的“全球门户”计划，中国外交部发言人汪文斌此前回应表示，中方欢迎一切帮助发展中国家建设基础设施、促进共同发展的倡议。

G | 我们同时认为，不同相关倡议之间不应是相互替代、相互排斥的关系，而应提倡兼容并蓄、沟通协调，形成合力。

汪文斌指出，“一带一路”倡议坚持共商、共建、共享原则，秉持开放、廉洁、绿色理念，致力于实现可持续、惠民生高标准目标，重在为世界经济增长增添新动力，为国际经济合作开拓新空间。

H | 过去8年来，“一带一路”倡议从倡议到行动，从大写意到工笔画，共建“一带一路”取得了实打实、沉甸甸的成就，为有关国家人民生活带来了实实在在的扶持，受到各方特别是发展中国家的热烈欢迎和高度评价。未来，中方将继续同各方共建“一带一路”、加强相互合作，本着共商、共建、共享原则稳步推进各领域合作，为帮助发展中国家建设基础设施、促进全球共同发展作出积极贡献。

“中欧双方在互联互通大方向上有着诸多共识，完全可以形成互补，共同促进各国之间的互联互通和全球可持续发展。
