"Even the love wave, landscape, these brands are not down, the sound industry decline now. "Faced with domestic audio industry leader because of sudden large consolidation, leading the industry for the entire sound industry brought many fancy development prospects. Information Times reporter in the interview, not a "sale" sorrow, "sold" behind brings the entire sound industry's "faith," prospect.

The acquisition process: from cooperation to reorganization

Sound industry because of sudden large consolidation.

Information times reporters interview, understand that the United States, Canada and the US, first love wave would like to purchase guoguang more professional speakers for its own brand, later both sides tall in mutual contacts sprouting up "to strengthen the idea of" audio industry, the party has been subsequently several months of negotiations.

Purchase price: lurk 1.08 billion "expensive" and "cheap"

For the ultimate 1.08 billion purchase price becomes the industry's most controversial.

A bit reluctant to anonymous sound brand dealers in Guangdong Province, said that "for the basic purchasing price industry is divided into two factions, the prospects for the industry that pessimism of high prices, on the other hand has the profession of faith, I think the price is cheap."

"The prices for Guangzhou ggec too effective. "These people have pointed out that the love wave in early-stage investment for branding, advertising and promotion on or more than 1 billion.
