Gao Xian paid little attention to Ma Shiheng's job arrangement, but he did not go back to Xiangjiang to personally send Ma Shiheng to take office, because there are many things on the side of Gulf western industrial company.
The reorganization of the southern Puerto Rican sugar company with assets of more than $1 billion into buludon company is just a prelude to the transformation plan of the Gulf western industrial company.
In a word, under the guidance of golden finger, which has the advantage of high string information asymmetry, in addition to the original sugar business and the business scope of resorts and hotels based on huge land resources, bludorn company has developed in the depth of sugar industry and even agriculture.
From the perspective of assets, bludorn accounts for only about a quarter of the Gulf western industrial company. The Gulf western industrial company, which has always pursued diversified operation, has extended its tentacles into the fields of auto parts, household consumption, natural resource exploitation, real estate, clothing, entertainment, publishing, and even financial services, Gao Xian needs to adapt to the new situation.
For example, buluduoen company, the former southern Puerto Rico sugar company, is also the holding company of New Jersey zinc company. This time, taking advantage of the opportunity to rectify bludorn company, New Jersey zinc industry company was picked out, but assets such as United cigar company remain in bludorn company system.
For many years, the New Jersey zinc company, headquartered in Pittsburgh, has been the largest manufacturer of zinc and zinc products in the United States. It was recruited by Gulf western industries in the 1960s.
However, with the development of the times, many situations are changing, including that developed countries pay more and more attention to their own environmental protection.
To put it bluntly, middy is now the world's leader. If you need any mineral resources, just go to other places and seize them skillfully. There's no need to dig up his feng shui treasure land.
Sir Gao is too lazy to expend energy on complex issues such as environmental protection and miners' welfare in the United States. Just like Nevada mining company, which previously dealt with Howard Hughes company, after picking out the zinc company in New Jersey, it was listed as a sale and sold when the conditions are right.
As for more assets of other Gulf western industrial companies, Gao Xian still wants to keep them, polish them carefully and develop them in the long run.
In short, Gao Xian's idea of combing the context is to flatten the structure, centralize resources and professionalize the operation as much as possible. Thanks to the support provided by strong bank resources and the fierce momentum of three fires when new officials take office, this is often more like a whole meal of "turning left and right", which can be called smooth and calm.
However, there are exceptions. One action caused great momentum and even made the outside world pay close attention to it. This is the "complete separation" between paramount and Gulf western industrial company.
With jazz Gao's advantage of information asymmetry, golden finger, paramount has become a hen laying golden eggs in the past decade. The global box office of films has exceeded US $100 million, which is as common as eating and drinking water, forming a sharp contrast with the overall decline of Hollywood at this stage.
But this does not prevent Hollywood from becoming the ideal prey of capital. To take the latest example, even Disney, a large Hollywood company that has been spared for a long time, is now in the vortex of capital competition, leading to infighting among Disney family members.
Under such circumstances, paramount, the new and old brother of Hollywood, is no less attractive than star gossip.
Moreover, sir Gao's reorganization of paramount seems to show that paramount should form its own department and have more room for development, which is very worth looking forward to.
Specifically, with the support of bank resources, paramount paid 210 million US dollars to Gulf Western Industrial Company at one time and bought back most of the paramount shares held by Gulf Western Industrial Company at a high price, reducing the shareholding ratio of Gulf Western Industrial Company in paramount to less than 5%.
At the same time, paramount also obtained part of the rights and interests of Simon Schuster, one of the six major publishers in the United States, and a series of well-known properties, including Madison Square Garden, from Gulf western industrial company, which means that it is self-contained.
Of course, this does not mean that paramount really has no "mother-in-law" on his head. It also has a holding company on it.
Willard butcher, CEO of Chase Bank, once joked with Gao Xian that Sir Gao wanted to build another happy group in the United States.
In fact, Gao Xian really copied some mature mechanisms of happy group. Among them, he also registered a holding company in Bermuda, called Gulf western strategy holding company, to control the equity of companies including Gulf Western Industrial Company and paramount; At the same time, it also established the Gulf western investment company, which controls each other with the Gulf western strategic holding company, and accepts the guidance of Gaoyi to carry out investment activities.
The financial services company of the Gulf western industrial company, together with the first capital company, was split up, and its personnel either entered the Gulf western investment company, or went to gaoyimi, or were directly dismissed because of inappropriate arrangements.
On the structure chart, Paramount's top is Gulf western strategic holding company, which is on an equal footing with Gulf western industrial company.
After adjustment according to Gao Xian's intention, the asset list of Gulf Western Industrial Company in front of chairman Sir Gao, CEO Ronald Zegler and President Jim juderson is mainly divided into three business groups.
The first business group does not need to be repeated. The main body is bludorn.
The second is the manufacturing business group, including auto parts manufacturer apsholding Corp., general aluminum and copper manufacturer Bowen company, engineering equipment manufacturer Taylor Fogg company, machine tool manufacturer Thomas Ryder Bolton company, etc.
The third is the consumer business group. There are Simmons bedding company, one of the three major mattress brands in the United States, katherot clothing company and the Miss Universe beauty pageant acquired in its early years, as well as well-known properties such as Madison Square Garden, and its affiliated ice hockey major league team New York Rangers and NBA team New York Knicks.
Although it has been carefully sorted out, Ronald Zegler and Jim juderson think that there are still some "non-performing" assets from their own perspective, which can be easily disposed of like New Jersey zinc company.
For example, the Gulf western industrial company launched an electric vehicle powered by zinc chloride batteries in 1980. Its background and technical level are certainly not like the new energy vehicles in the Internet era decades later, but the so-called business opportunities generated by the two world oil crises. At that time, American presidents Ford and Carter, Have successively introduced policies to encourage the development and application of new energy.
The U.S. Department of energy has invested 15 million dollars in this project. The performance of the product claims that it can reach the maximum speed of 97 kilometers per hour in only a few hours. However, the final evaluation report shows that the actual power of the battery is only 35% of the expected, and can only be charged by trained personnel.
To put it bluntly, this kind of electric vehicle is not practical at all. After catching up with the tide of the times, policies, capital and so on, it will show its true shape. Judging from the shrewd business vision of Ronald Zegler and Jim juderson, it should go ashore as soon as possible.
"It's time to get out of the car decisively, but some things are still of great technical reserve value." Gao Xian smiled and didn't completely deny it. In his opinion, electric vehicles are really taking too big a step, but the application prospect of batteries in consumer electronics products can be controlled. For example, lithium batteries can take advantage of the strong strength of the United States, Lead a manufacturer and make a lot of money.
Ronald Zegler and Jim juderson did not dwell on the issue of electric vehicles, but referred to the handling of New Jersey zinc company.
"Some shareholders of Gulf western industries and several managers of New Jersey zinc are interested in taking over New Jersey zinc," Ronald Zegler said. "However, they hope that the acquisition conditions can be more favorable."
"Yes, if you can take care of yourself, take care of it, but you should deal with it cleanly in terms of trade unions and environmental protection." Gao Xian nodded.
This is the winner writing history. Before, Martin Davis advocated selling the assets of Gulf Western Industrial Company to improve the financial situation. As a result, he was turned into a drowning dog. Now sir Gao has no problem with how to deal with the assets of Gulf western industrial company!
