Chapter 285: The Big Name Many Years Ago

On December 31, French time, at nearly 7:30 in the evening, the main study of the first family's large estate outside Paris.

The old man asked: "What does Miss Ferdinand like in Sith's Department Store? Or, what exactly does the Good Mood Consortium like in Sith's Department Store? Oil and steel are okay, department stores?"

Ron said: "The department stores in the Riyao Building are delivered by Qibaiban Department Store, and the food in the supermarket is delivered by Zhenben's company."

The old man asked: "Is there any special subsidiary under the Sith department store?"

Ron thought for a while and said: "There are five. The first one was established in the 1920s. It used to be the second largest property and casualty insurance company in the United States, and it is currently the fifth largest property and casualty insurance company, Orstad Financial Services Company. The second one is It was acquired in 1981, the largest real estate brokerage company in the United States, and now it is the third largest real estate brokerage company, Coase Real Estate Company. The third was also acquired in 1981, and it is currently the sixth largest securities company in the United States. It is mainly engaged in mutual funds. Sith Securities Brokerage Company. The fourth was established in 1985 and is currently the third largest credit card issuer in the United States, Sith Credit Company, Sith Credit Company. The fifth is Western Auto Supply Company, which was acquired in 1988."

"Sith credit card." The old man said to himself.

Ron looked at the document and said: "There are about 70 million Sith credit cards issued in the United States, and about one in every two American adults holds a Sith credit card."

The old man thought for a while and said, "It's not that. The good mood bank card is based on the major banks, so it is more convenient than this credit card."

"Then it's Seath Department Store itself, but it's not the good mood consortium, but Miss Ferdinand herself, who will open the convenience store in the gas station in the future. And Orstad Financial Services Company has auto insurance business, Western Auto Supply Company There are also many sites, which are very useful for the car companies under the name of Miss Ferdinand." Ron said, "Also, Sith Department Store has thirty manufacturing plants of its own, and more than ten thousand OEM factories. It’s perfect for making real movie props.”

"Are the industries complementary?" The old man laughed, "It's possible." Then he added, "Since the early twentieth century, Seath's department store has been the number one retailer in the United States, but since the 1980s There were problems in the mid-term operation, and it has declined since the 1990s. However, Centipede is dead but not stiff. If you own all of it, you can rank second, but now Miss Ferdinand only owns 70% of its shares. , this card can only be ranked third.”

"Father, if you say that, the number one position will have to be replaced." Ron laughed.

"Oh," the old man asked with a smile, "what company is so powerful that it can compare to one of the world's top ten oil companies?"

"Western Industrial Corporation, founded by Westinghouse, has been competing with General Electric Company for a hundred years. It has a 50% share of the nuclear power market in the world and 60% of the U.S. nuclear power market. share of Western Industries." Ron asked with a smile, "How about this one?"

"Twenty years ago it was indeed ranked first, but now." The old man smiled, "Western Industries has eight systems, broadcasting system, electronic system, environmental protection system, financial service system, industrial system, Office supply systems, power systems, and scientific research systems. In 1988, it sold Pella Films to Michael Entertainment Group, and later listed Biya Records as a whole. This meant giving up the broadcasting system, but Even so, the money won still didn't make it through,

It was acquired in 1994. Then he asked again, "I remember that Western Industries was acquired by the famous 'hands-on' Hosho Aerospace, so it was released?" "

"Yes, Horsho has taken away the nuclear power department and part of the scientific research department related to the defense business of Western Industries Corporation, and the others, including the civilian nuclear power department, have been sold to Miss Ferdinand not long ago." Ron laughed, "The second largest The third card is now Western Industries."

"When Huo Huo was in the hands, Western Industries had almost no development. It was just completing old contracts. The business of the US Department of Defense and the nuclear power business of various countries also stopped." The old man asked, "What's the news next?" ?”

Ron said: "Now we can confirm two points. First, the nuclear power business will stop after the contract in hand is completed."

The old man interrupted and asked, "Why?"

"It is said that because some of the technology and professionals are in the hands of Huoxiu Company, there is no way to build it in the future." Ron said.

"It's a pity." The old man said.

"Second, we will convert wholly-owned factories in various countries into subsidiaries and operate them in different regions. We will conduct technical evaluations on joint venture factories, and sell them to local companies or governments if possible. If not, we will sell their shares to local companies at a low price Other American companies, like General Electric," said Ron, then laughed, "The typical company is too big to manage."

"For Miss Ferdinand, what she needs most is the scientific research system and technical personnel of the Western Industrial Company. This is the accumulation of the Western Industrial Company for a hundred years, but I don't know how much will be left after being passed over by the Huoxiu Company." The old man said. Asked, "By the way, how much did Miss Ferdinand pay for the acquisition of Western Industries?"

Ron said: "After removing the nuclear power part, the value of Western Industries will be reduced by more than half, and experts estimate that it will be up to 30 billion U.S. dollars."

The old man said: "Now this card can only be ranked fourth."

"The third biggest card in Ms. Ferdinand's hand is the Roadstar Automobile Group. Mr. Bartley and Ms. Ferdinand began to acquire the automobile company in 1989. That should be the time when Ms. Mei Daizi wanted to fly over the cliff continuously." Luo En said.

"I remember that Mr. Bartley went to Germany in 1989 and wanted to buy Ferrari and Alfa Romeo from the Fiat Automobile Group, and buy them from the Daimler Automobile Group. They bought Mercedes-Benz Automobile Company and Baoji Automobile Company from Dazhong Automobile Group, but they were all rejected, and it was a mess." The old man laughed, "In the United States, Miss Ferdinand came from Puerto Rico. Acquired Roadster Motors from Yong Auto Group, Aston Martin Motors from Foote Motors, Lamborghini from Chrysler Automobiles, and According to the introduction of the Resler Group, it has absorbed the Bugatti Automobile Factory and the Deto Maso Automobile Factory with the Maserati brand to form a super sports car group dominated by Roadstar Automobile Company.”…
