Following weeks of courting, CaixaBank made it official and agreed to take over Bankia, creating Spain’s biggest lender with 650bn euros ($760bn) in assets. “Getting married in difficult times makes it even more important that you choose the right partner,” said CaixaBank’s chief executive.

Deutsche Bank is preparing to close a fifth of its branches in Germany, according to reports, leaving it with 400 branches. The German lender thinks the pandemic has shifted many customers permanently towards digital banking.

Investors were unimpressed by Tesla’s much hyped “Battery Day”, even though Elon Musk tried to dampen expectations. The company did announce an ambition to move all levels of car-battery production in house (rather than just battery packs) and increase the range of its batteries. But there were no specifics about a “million-mile” battery, nor a target, in terms of dollars per kilowatt-hour, to bring down the cost of its electric cars to match petrol-powered ones.
特斯拉大肆宣傳的“電池日”并未給投資者留下深刻印象，盡管埃隆·馬斯克試圖降低期望值。該公司確實(shí)宣布了一項(xiàng)雄心勃勃的計(jì)劃，即全面推進(jìn)汽車電池的內(nèi)部生產(chǎn)(而不僅僅是電池組)，并擴(kuò)大電池的使用范圍。但對(duì)于“百萬(wàn)英里”電池，公司并沒(méi)有給出具體的細(xì)節(jié)，也沒(méi)有設(shè)定每千瓦時(shí)多少美元的成本目標(biāo)，來(lái)降低電動(dòng)汽車的成本，使之與汽油動(dòng)力汽車匹敵。
California’s governor signed an order that bans the sale of new petrol and diesel cars by 2035. It is the first American state to adopt such a measure.
加州州長(zhǎng)簽署了一項(xiàng)法令，禁止在2035年前銷售新的汽油和柴油汽車。它是美國(guó)第一個(gè)采取這種措施的州。
Unilever secured the overwhelming support of shareholders in the Netherlands for its proposal to end its Anglo-Dutch dual structure and base the entire group in London. British investors will vote on the measure next month. Unilever wants to unify its structure by late November, but would reconsider its move if the Dutch parliament passes a law before then that would levy huge taxes on any multinational leaving the country.
聯(lián)合利華提議結(jié)束英荷雙重結(jié)構(gòu)，將整個(gè)集團(tuán)總部設(shè)在倫敦，該提議獲得了荷蘭股東的壓倒性支持。英國(guó)投資者將于下月就該措施進(jìn)行投票。聯(lián)合利華希望在11月底之前統(tǒng)一其結(jié)構(gòu)，但如果荷蘭議會(huì)在此之前通過(guò)一項(xiàng)法律，對(duì)任何離開(kāi)該國(guó)的跨國(guó)公司征收巨額稅收，聯(lián)合利華將重新考慮其舉措。
