????現居東京的企業家和商業評論員特里?勞埃德認為，NEC將是下一個隕落的公司。“我有一些來自董事會的內幕消息。12個月之前，形勢就已經非常嚴峻了，”他說。“我猜銀行已經給了NEC最后一次機會來解決自己的問題。幾個月前，債券市場停滯不前，于是他們借了一筆巨額貸款。之后他們只能咬緊牙關，開始大量裁員了。”

????Terrie Lloyd an entrepreneur and business commentator living in Tokyo believes NEC will be next to fail. "I had some insider (board level) information 12 months ago that things were really serious," he says. "My guess is that the banks have given NEC one last chance to fix their problems -- they got a big loan several months ago after the markets baulked at a bond issuance -- before NEC is going to have to really bite the bullet and start firing thousands."
