Subject: Old Job or New Job?

Hi all,
Here's what happened.
Yesterday I met, for the first time, the new general manager of the company I work for (old one). He assumed the possition for the transitional period until the business is transfered to the chinese company.
The GM advised me strongly against leaving the company saying the new phase will be only better, far better he said to the extent that he himself is considering staying with the new company (they asked him to).

The fact is, there are several reasons that make me want to leave. But if this GM stayed, at least most of these reasons will disappear. The reason he called me to his office yesterday is that I pointed out a mistake that was about to be done. He thanked me and showed appreciation (something I never been showed before in this company)

This morning I found an e-mail from him saying that he hopes I change my mind about leaving the company. and now, I don't know what to do...

All the facts I have to consider before making a decision are not facts, only speculations.
There is the issue of salary.. the new company will be giving me less, so..??!!
The GM told me that he is almost certain the chinese will not cut down salaries
There is also the issue of appreciation.. In the new company I have to start from scratch, I don't know the people there.. what if they were not nice? but again, what if this GM left? most people here are not that nice either.. and the more competent I proved the more cautious and supressive they are (not management but staff.. and the management didn't notice before)

Do you think it will be appropreate to ask the GM if he is 100% sure he is staying and that if he is going to stay I decide to stay too?

I don't know what to decide, and I need to decide quickly, because if I am to decline the offer of teh new company (which I had already signed) I have to notify them ASAP...
But what if staying here was a wrong decision? I would have lost an opportunity that might not be repeated...

Please tell me what you think?

PS, please forgive any grammer or spl mistakes as I am writing from the office and am too busy to review..
