Midea acquired leading industrial robotics manufacturer Kuka AG in 2016 for €4.66 billion.

Volkswagen, the car manufacturer, has hinted at the possibility of closing several plants, potentially affecting up to 120,000 jobs.

$1.46 million (the equivalent of $500,000 in 1985) would be just enough to buy 3.5 homes with an average home price of $419,550.
