Saying......

Umbrella Company: Ah, that's it. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Every time she sits behind this desk, Alice is excited in a variety of ways.

There was no doubt that she had the company's registered logo printed on the floor of this office.

Is it a red and white hexagon......

In fact, she had thought about a very serious issue many times.

That is the question of the establishment of a conglomerate.

Count on your fingers.

Here in the United States, except for Lockheed, which has a stake in the company, and a 2,000-strong security force, all of them are concentrated in California.

Cisco Absolute Holding; Even though Microsoft's shares have been diluted several times after listing, she is also the second largest shareholder and an extremely important technical advisor; Intel has her $400 million in shares; Adobe and Autodesk merged and were acquired by her; Electronic Arts Games was also bought by her and slowly developed; In the end, DreamWorks also participated in a lot of shares by her.

Then there is a clothing company in Chinese mainland, and there is a budding Huawei in Shenzhen. In Southeast Asia, the Vietnam veterans who were sent were playing his smuggling game, helping Alice touch the situation in the Golden Triangle by the way. There are only a few real estate buildings in Japan that have just been sold, and then there is a sushi restaurant that has taken a stake, which is a blank area for business.

And then there's the UK. The computer research center was built in the name of an individual, and the underground medical research institute was affiliated with the umbrella company. Here in the Roswell Building in the City of London, the thirtieth floor is the umbrella, and the lower four floors are the commercial real estate "Vanda". Germany's Draken Rig is renting her computer, a little bit of a partnership, and then ......

Well, Hong Kong. HK Electric's stake is not a concern, but Li Ka-shing has the intention of expanding into the UK and California at the same time. Here in the UK, Vanda and Umbrella have his stake and help, and in California, after he moves the logistics port industry in Hutchison Whampoa, Alice, the head snake, can be entertained and has broad prospects.

-- That's what she's been doing in the past four and a half years.

Therefore, it is indeed time for Alice to integrate the industry, don't look at her now far from the top ten of Forbes, but she is also worth billions. Especially at the end of the 90s, when Microsoft, Cisco, and Intel's shares came together, it was really a rhythm of breaking 50 billion in minutes.

So the question arises - how do you integrate?

The first thing Alice needs to distinguish is whether she wants to set up a group company or a corporate consortium?

The difference is huge.

An enterprise group is a limited liability company with independent legal personality, and because of its diversified business strategy, it has established corresponding wholly-owned and holding subsidiaries in many fields, and has been opposite each other in the form of a group. That is to say, a group company must exist in the form of a sub-parent company, and only the parent company itself has the legal personality, and the subsidiary is like the six Shangshu under the emperor's throne, but it is subordinate to the state and has its own duties.

So of course, Alice can't set up a group company, after all, at least, Microsoft and Intel are not her personal companies, let alone Lockheed's deep-rooted guy - unless she wants to go it alone.

Not to mention the relationship between the parent company - Oscar & Hannah is a side hustle of Cisco? Umbrella sideline commercial real estate or commercial real estate sideline pharmaceutical companies? How should they establish a subordinate relationship with clothing and Internet hardware companies?

Alice was founded as a separate company from the beginning, and did not let them all belong to Cisco, which she founded at all. In fact, Cisco is already a conglomerate in its own right, and products such as routers, switches, and firewalls can theoretically have a separate subsidiary for them - but it is not necessary.

Therefore, if she really wants to integrate her industries, she must take the path of a consortium.

Consortium has a long history and is classified according to the old regulations, it is the abbreviation of "financial capital group", which refers to a monopoly group formed by a combination of huge banks and huge enterprises controlled by a very small number of financial oligarchs, usually composed of one or several families. This typically includes a handful of large banks, insurance companies, and a larger number of industrial, mining, commercial, and transportation companies – all defined before World War II, of course.

Compared with other forms of legal persons, consortia have distinct characteristics.

First of all, it is strong, and with the enhancement of its strength and stability, the color of the industry will become weaker and weaker. The funds controlled by the consortium are very large, and the number of departments under their control is also increasing day by day, covering heavy industry, light industry, traditional industry, new industry, production sector, circulation sector, etc., all within the scope of expansion -- it is difficult to sort out them simply by the relationship between the children and the mother of the group company.

Then there's the ability to control. The magnates of the major conglomerates often personally serve as heads of state and key government departments, and come forward to organize various civil institutions to exert influence and pressure on the government to control the state apparatus. Of course, nurturing legislators is what they really do. After all, capitalists make money, unless they are aspiring to a career, few people will be a servant of the people.

As for the reasons for aspiring to a career - that is, I want to benefit the people, make enough money, hand over the company to my son, and want to change my style after I retire legally, there are many reasons for this.

The last thing worth noting is the family color. In the early years, the names of Morgan, Rockefeller, DuPont, Mitsubishi, Mitsui, and Sumitomo were widely known, but nowadays, this color has long faded. The mutual penetration and integration of the various consortia has changed some consortia from the pre-war control of a single family to the control of multiple families, and although the old consortia have maintained their original family names, they have actually been dominated by a few or even more families, and the capital has been further socialized.

So to put it bluntly, this is the community of interests.

Group companies are the product of the diversified operation of large companies; The corporate consortium is a situation where the capitalists of many enterprises come together in a round, communicate with each other within a certain range, and everyone can talk and laugh and do anything.

If you put it before World War II, with Alice's current situation, of course, it is the rhythm of establishing a "Wang Foundation". However, considering the current social situation, and the monosyllabic word "Wong" is not suitable for naming in the English environment, the "Wong Foundation" will definitely not be born. But to say the words of the "Alice Consortium......

"The second middle school is full of disease."

So also vetoed.

So what should it be called to fall to the ground?

Looking at the red and white pattern on the floor in front of the desk, do you still need to hesitate for this answer?

In fact, there is no such definition of a consortium in law.

The so-called ten major conglomerates in the United States, the six major chaebols in Japan, and even the so-called four major conglomerates in China composed of CITIC, China Resources, Poly and China Merchants are all just academic titles. That is, after the expansion of the large-scale group to a certain extent, the name jointly given by people inside and outside the industry.

Typical examples such as the Boston Consortium, the Chicago Consortium, the Texas Consortium, the California Consortium, and China's Chaozhou Business Gang, etc., all belong to the typical regional naming - Jianghu people say, you are a god horse~

So of course, Alice can't stupidly go to the Industrial and Commercial Bureau and register a "umbrella consortium".

It turns out everything. As long as the Alice Building in Los Angeles City fell to the ground, and the affiliated companies plunged into it, and then printed the LOGO of the umbrella all over the sky, the result was natural.

This part of Silicon Valley, this part of the United Kingdom, and the Chinese region across the ocean, all of these companies form a new consortium with Alice as a link. It doesn't belong to the Silicon Valley forces, it doesn't belong to the European medical industry, and it doesn't belong to a single industry, such as the game industry and the film industry, but they are all connected by her Alice, a young girl.

Well...... So, is it still the Alice Consortium?

Well, this kind of problem can actually be put aside for now.

After all, the establishment of the name of the consortium is different from that of Wulin Jianghu. The latter, as long as the hero comes to the martial arts conference and fights with his signature kung fu, the lion king Xie Xun and the white-eyed eagle king will be there immediately; However, the name of the consortium must be accumulated over time and gradually rooted in the hearts of the people according to the actual development situation.

"So the top priority is to develop the umbrella company?"

Alice pondered which company had the most potential to be a BOSS, and it was of course the umbrella company.

That's right, this idea came from "Resident Evil", and Alice didn't deny her plagiarism at all, anyway, she had already planned it. Capcom Game Company Shenma, of course, wants to take the time to acquire it, since it has set up a protective umbrella, how can it be called malicious propaganda? Although people didn't mean to say it.

However, this will make the world lose a lot of classic series of games, movies adapted from the series, and many spin-off fan fiction......

Alas, it's all for the greater good!

Then, all in all, since it is a plagiarized umbrella, the corporate structure can also be blatantly borrowed.

The game has three main divisions, which are referred to simply as the Red Umbrella, the White Umbrella, and the Blue Umbrella.

The Red Umbrella is the paramilitary arm of the company, and its military units are under its jurisdiction. It is also the R&D and management department for research-related computers, and its most important R&D achievement is the "Flame Queen" that first appeared in the movie. So I thought about it, the computer research center in Exeter could be merged into the umbrella company at that time.

The Blue Umbrella is the company's biological weapons research arm, and the Licker is their outstanding work. Well...... Alice is really stupid to copy it, second pass.

Then the white umbrella, theoretically called the biological research department, is doing routine drug research and development on the one hand, and providing technical support for the blue umbrella on the other. This can be had, honestly make new drugs for the benefit of mankind, and it is also a "protective umbrella", but those who support the operation of the blue umbrella should go aside.

Pondering, pondering, sitting at the table, Alice smirked.
