16、自己，然后是 PSA 在 2022 年从通用汽车收购的欧宝，成果惊人。不过，带着这家群众市场汽车公司迈向汽车制造业的将来并非易事。唐唯实终日眉头深锁，足以证明他成就的是何等困难的任务。首先， 2022 年，他在 PSA 严峻亏损多年后掌舵，将公司从破产边缘拉回。几乎出乎全部人的意料，他在一年内便使公司扭亏为盈。之后收入和利润均大幅增长，到如今利润率已经可以媲美德国的高端汽车制造商。PSA 的欧洲运营总监毕高诚淡淡地说， 在这个始终强调销售和市场份额的行业，先求利润再谈销量“不是常见做法。而 PSA 正是以较高的本钱加成销售少一些的汽车。它砍掉了不怎么赚钱的小众车型，同时削减令人目不暇接的发动机

18、公司顺当通过下一串弯道需要的是另一套技能。在欧洲(为PSA制造了 80%的收入)，汽车销售已不如过去强劲。唐唯实目前紧盯印度和俄罗斯等市场，但在这些地方做生意的难度更大。 在中国， 近年来其他汽车制造商的业绩不俗，但 PSA 的中国业务却境况不佳。要让乏善可陈的欧宝(在英国名为沃克斯豪尔)受到买家青睐，不投入重金是不行的。随着 PSA 日渐复苏，以前体谅公司逆境而保持温存的工会也可能有所动作。集团重返美国市场的打算也受到了质疑。在美国， PSA 的品牌根本上已被遗忘，它最终一个淡出美国市场的品牌是标致， 那已经是 28 年前的事了。 毕高诚表示， PSA不会砸大钱来营销和建厂，然后亏得“血本无
