Chapter 524: Shocking scandal sweeping the United States? Snack
Two days later.
During dinner, Ye Hua was dining with the Jurchens. At this time, Kitagawa Lingzi and Qiao Wei both said in unison: "There is something..."
After a pause, Qiao Wei looked at her: "You go ahead and speak."
Kitagawa Ayako nodded and looked at Ye Hua and said: "Just today, many North American semiconductor manufacturers unilaterally withdrew from the WSIO organization, including Texas Instruments, Honeywell, and Qualcomm. I personally called to inquire, and the other party's response was only one sentence.
Had to withdraw due to force majeure."
Qiao Wei looked at Kitagawa Ayako in surprise, then turned to Ye Hua and said: "The same goes for many North American automobile giants, including Tesla Motors and SpaceX. Elon Musk responded helplessly
Due to force majeure, we have to regrettably terminate the subsequent launch services of the Life Ray space-based power transmission satellite. At present, I have decided to find Russians to help fill its launch business, but I am afraid that it will not be possible to complete full coverage this year, and it will be delayed until at least March next year.
"
This happened just after taking over the life ray, and Qiao Wei was caught off guard.
After the two women finished speaking, they looked at each other for a while, and then said to Ye Hua again in unison: "Did something unexpected happen in the United States?"
Looking at the worried eyes of the two women, they didn't know the inside story, but Ye Hua understood instantly after hearing this. The North American authorities still didn't want to be enemies of the four major consortiums, and they were even more afraid that all this was just the tip of the iceberg.
Judging from the sudden collective ebb of the North American partners, it can be judged that the North American authorities have reached a consensus with the major consortiums. Although it will bring huge economic losses, the consortiums are now trying to make huge mistakes.
In order to cope with this crisis, we have to pay the bill and suffer huge losses as a last resort.
Ye Hua did not answer them, but turned to the air and said, "Xiaoyin...?"
"Master, Xiaoyin can hit you anytime."
"Make a big news. Publish the news anonymously on the entire Internet and expose it all. I want to see who deletes it faster or you post it faster." Ye Hua suddenly said, feeling inexplicably excited.
"Master, I can generate 500,000 anonymous accounts in one second, unless Americans shut down the Internet." Xiaoyin said confidently.
"What riddles are you playing?" Qiao Wei said confused.
"Haha, I present the first melon of the year to the people all over the world. There should be no more explosive news this year." Ye Hua said with a smile.
The American emperor likes to have some excitement, so let's have some excitement. It's not too big a deal to watch the excitement, and just sit back and watch the American emperor fry everyone.
…
Eastern North America.
Jack Welch, who is 88 years old this year, and a number of important figures from the GE Group, including Tim Cook and other top executives of Apple, just like last time, these important figures came to the banks of the Hudson River again.
A mountain top above.
The General Electric School of Management is located in Crotonville, only an hour's drive from New York City and a short flight from Boston. The school is known for selecting and cultivating a key leadership team.
It is regarded as the most valuable product by GE Group.
The then head of GE Group unfortunately passed away in the "627 attacks", which once again ushered in turmoil for this giant group.
At this moment, the top management staff gathered together, and Tim Cook looked around the crowd and said: "The idea of tying financial services and industrial companies together may have been beneficial for a while, but now it seems that this is just an unconventional and bad idea.
"I deeply regret the tragedy of Flannery...but the huge GE Group urgently needs a leader to restore the market's confidence, and we really don't have much time left."
"I'm extremely disappointed. My expectations were much higher. I thought I made the best choice, but it turned out not to be what I expected."
An old voice came, and Tim Cook and all other participants looked around in unison, staring at the old Jack Welch sitting in the conference hall.
The 88-year-old former head of GE Group is now a bit slower than the turmoil in his peak years, but today, his presence is still here.
In fact, all the senior officials present knew that he never concealed his contempt for his chosen successor.
This may seem strange, but it's true.
Welch was so angry about Flannery's poor operations and strategic management failures in the power business that Apple CEO Tim Cook appeared on the current board of directors. He didn't like Cook's presence here, but this
It's not that he hates Cook.
Welch grimaced when he heard the news of GE's peace deal with Apple, saying he would give his old employer an A for his ability to run the business and an F for his choice of successor.
At this time, Tim Cook pointed to a 60-year-old but younger-looking attendee and said: "Larry Culp, as the former CEO of Danaher, we believe he will bring more than ten years of
Success, providing new hope for the troubled industrial conglomerate. Danaher is now one of the world's largest technology conglomerates, Larry is a proven executive with a long record of execution excellence, and the Board of Directors
The package that attracted Larry was absolutely tied to performance."
As soon as these words came out, for Immelt, Welch and other people who promoted the missionary work in Crotonville, the sudden arrival of Larry Culp undoubtedly pierced the belief of a far-reaching influence of this industrial group.
.
That is: General Electric Group can cultivate the greatest managers in the world, and no matter what they run, they will run it better than others.
However, when the company they loved most needed them most, these heirs to Edison's wisdom were at their wits' end.
The last CEO of the last major industrial conglomerate in the United States will be an outsider. This is the cruelest outcome.
"I'm not sure whether the company can regroup, but I hope that the new leader can create a new General Electric." Old Jack Welch, the old chairman, knew that Larry Culp's promotion was inevitable, and he
The arrival also heralds the ushering in of the post-GE Group era.
Tim Cook cast a complimentary look at Jack, and then boasted unstintingly: "I believe that Larry has been at the helm of Danaher Corporation for 14 years and has earned a reputation for superb trading skills and prudent spending.
When Larry was in charge of Danaher, he was known for his intimate knowledge of each subsidiary. He would not recruit senior executives to report to the headquarters, but would personally go to the subsidiary companies and walk into the workshops to understand the business."
"In the board's view, Larry's criticisms revealed a larger problem, which was that Flannery lacked the experience to run a company he had yet to understand while dealing with the ever-increasing crises.
It is believed that some major issues that have been ignored before have been examined, such as the best spending plan for GE."
In fact, there are already a group of people on the board of directors who are considering replacing him, allowing him to retain his seat on the board of directors, or to leave and stay at his own convenience. Flannery's behavior is too radical, and the board of directors is worried that he is not qualified, and GE Group has made no mistakes.
There is no room for error, even a normally controllable trouble can turn into a disaster.
Especially Apple, whose family and life were tied to ge, was even more frightened.
But with the "627 attacks" that led to the accidental death of John Flannery, no matter what, it cannot be changed now that he only sat at the top position of GE Group for 15 months, making him the shortest-serving CEO in the history of GE.
He was replaced by Larry Culp.
The board of directors will vote next. In fact, it is just a process. The two "outsiders" Apple and Berkshire Hathaway have gained complete control over GE Group.
There is no doubt that Larry Culp successfully took over John Flannery's position and became the new CEO of GE Group. For this purpose, he signed a stock contract of up to 300 million U.S. dollars and will receive an annual salary of up to 21 million U.S. dollars.
, bonuses and stock Over the next four years, starting next year, GE will provide Culp with a salary of $2.5 million, a bonus of approximately $3.75 million and equity awards worth $15 million.
But that's not the best part for the new CEO. If the stock rises more than 50%, his payday will also reach around $47 million. If it rises further, he will get even more compensation.
If GE's stock rises by 150%, it is US$300 million.
Although the remuneration is extremely generous, the money is not easy to earn. Although the current GE Group has become the largest industrial group giant with the largest cash reserves in the world due to the joining of two outsiders, GE has not been as successful so far.
The board seat turned a profit quickly.
Larry Culp has just been appointed as ge by the board of directors. The news will be officially announced next Monday. Everything is ready.
But just as the meeting was progressing, the secretary of the board of directors' cell phone vibrated in his pocket, and then he quietly went out.
The status, definition, and functions of the secretary to the board of directors and the secretary to the chairman are very different. The secretary to the board of directors is a senior manager of a listed company. He is responsible for company information disclosure, investor relations management, and equity affairs management, corporate governance, and equity investment internally.
, Preparing for functions such as board of directors and shareholders' meetings.
Not long after he left, Secretary Ge came back again. Different from going out quietly before, he suddenly opened the door and entered, his expression of horror and horror undisguised.
The GE Secretary of the Board of Directors looked around at the attendees, and his wandering eyes fell on two board members. They were from Morgan, Citigroup, and one of GE's major shareholders, with shareholding ratios of 4.8% and 5.7% respectively.
%. In addition, two major consortiums also hold shares of Apple.
The directors of First Citigroup and the Morgan family disliked his look, and they could not help but frown, but they did not make any comments.
"Everyone... Just now, GE's stock price plummeted by 17%, and it is still like a flood."
"What?"
All the shareholders present at the meeting were furious, and the GE secretary-general continued in a trembling voice: "But compared to another shocking scandal that swept the United States in an instant... oh... my God... I'm sorry, everyone... I...
