Chapter two hundred and ninety-two water industry

…

"Boss, what about Enron's serious loss-making projects? Especially the UK's Teesside and India's Tambor, both of which have huge investments. It would be too unfavorable for us to continue to drag on!" Jonathan Weil asked.

Although he is the president of Anping Company, he also serves as the CEO of Anping Electric Power. Naturally, he cannot ignore the serious loss-making power plant projects of Anping.

"I have already thought about this issue. No one is more familiar with Enron's problem than Rebecca, and I believe you have all seen her solution to the Enron problem, which is very perfect. So I'm going to let She set up a 'Enron's major loss-making project' resolution team, and all the loss-making projects under Enron's investment of more than 150 million US dollars belonged to this group.

"Understood!"

Jonathan Weir nodded.

"Who has questions?"

"Boss, does the company headquarters still need to be changed?" Rebecca Mark asked.

Guo Shouyun shook his head after thinking about it. Although Houston is the center of the U.S. energy industry, where the headquarters of energy giants such as ConocoPhillips, Halliburton, and Baker Hughes are mostly located here, it is far more suitable than San Francisco in comparison to the industrial environment, but Enron’s unscrupulous approach to achieving its goals and pleasure Guo Shouyun's corporate culture is really not pleasing to him.

Therefore, he will not consider returning here until he has completed the purge of Enron and turned Enron Pacific into a profit.

Half an hour later, after answering everyone's questions in turn, Guo Shouyun brought Rebecca Mark to his temporary office.

"Sit down!"

Guo Shouyun waved his hand.

"Do you know why I called you here alone?"

"For Anping Investment Company!" Rebecca Mark replied.

"You really are smart!" Guo Shouyun smiled and nodded, took a sip of the tea that Wendy had made, "I know you want to take Jonathan's place and control the huge Enron Pacific Company, but you are a latecomer after all, no With enough dazzling achievements to set the stage, even if I am the chairman of the board, I can't force you to be right!"

"So you put me in charge of Anping Investment, and put all of Enron's loss-making projects under it?" Rebecca Mark said calmly.

"Not bad! This is a test, a test for you. If you can solve more than 80% of the major losses in Anping within three to five years. Then after that, you will be the president of Anping! Replace Jonathan Take charge of the entire company!" Guo Shouyun said solemnly.

"And what about Jonathan Weir?"

Rebecca Mark, who has been working hard in the workplace for more than 20 years, is not easily moved by a few promises.

"If he can get Enron Pacific on the right track during this time and can handle the competition with you correctly, then I'll give him a higher position!"

"Is there a higher position than the president of Enron Pacific?" Rebecca Mark's pupils shrank.

Guo Shouyun smiled lightly, "Of course! With so many companies under my banner, there must always be someone I can trust to advise me and steer the overall situation!"

Looking at the man with deep eyes in front of her, Rebecca Mark had more thoughts in her heart. However, no matter what happens in the future, the first thing she has to consider now is to solve the internal problems of Anping Investment. Especially those big troubles under the former Enron, even if she knew them well and had sufficient funds provided by Guo Shouyun to back them up, she still felt troublesome.

"Boss, do you also plan to sell the water business under the former Enron 'Azuricos'?"

"What? Do you want to stay?" Guo Shouyun asked.

"I've worked there for six or seven years and have accumulated a lot of experience!" Rebecca Mark nodded.

Looking at her affirmative expression, Guo Shouyun understood in his heart. It's not how important the water business originally owned by Azulikos is, how much experience she herself has in this area. The real reason is that Rebecca Mark's strong character determines her unwillingness to accept her failure here. Just as she always wanted to go back to Enron to prove her ability before, she also wanted to prove her ability in the 'Azuricos' water business!

He still appreciates Rebecca's persistence in this regard. After all, there are too many people in this world who live with an attitude of indifference, and there are too few people who are persistent. There are fewer capable and persistent people.

However, Guo Shouyun's interest in the water industry is not very large. Profits are too low, and the requirements for technology, management and experience are high. Azuricos Water does not have an advantage in this regard, compared with those who have been immersed in this industry for dozens of hundreds of years and have accumulated rich contacts and experience. The giants are even farther apart.

In addition, Guo Shouyun is now involved in enough industries, so much that he already feels a bit difficult with his current ability. Therefore, the real correct choice at present is to settle for a few years in the industry that has been involved, and then consider and expand after everything is straightened out. However, he also did not want to dampen Rebecca Marks's passion for career advancement.

After thinking about it, "Rebecca, you know I'm not very interested in the water industry!" Hearing this, a gloom flashed across Rebecca Mark's face, but this gloom soon followed Guo Shouyun. The words disappeared quickly.

"...However, if you can buy their 'water business' from Vivendi Group, then I promise you to run the water industry as the core business of Enron Pacific!"

"Vivendi?" Rebecca Mark frowned.

Anyone involved in the water industry is no stranger to Vivendi. Among the four giants in the global municipal water industry, Vivendi, which has a history of nearly two hundred years, surpassed Suez Water, Thames Water and Berlin Water and ranked first in the world. Compared with the other party, Azuricos is not at the same level.

"Boss, as the core industry of Vivendi, the possibility of successful acquisition is too low!" Rebecca Mark frowned.

Although she is very confident in her abilities, she is not very confident in this acquisition. After all, Vivendi is a bigger consortium than Enron! It is too difficult to acquire their core business from such a giant. Moreover, she still has the original Enron Company, and now a large number of "difficult households" under Anping Investment need to be resolved!

"Of course there will be difficulties, but it is not impossible to acquire it!"

Seeing the mysterious smile at the corner of the big boss's mouth, Rebecca Mark's eyes immediately lit up. Although the two sides have not been in contact for a long time, she knows that this new boss will never aim for nothing.

"I received some inside information that Vidiwang has the same financial crisis as Enron!"

"real?"

Rebecca Mark's eyes widened, and a look of shock appeared on her face. In recent years, Vivendi Group has acquired Morocco Telecom, Hawass News Agency, and Universal Pictures, and has made great strides in the media field. It is not surprising that it encounters financial difficulties. But it is shockingly difficult to make a living by selling off its businesses. But considering Enron's past glory and present loneliness, everything seems not so surprising.

"...It is certain that Vivendi's loss exceeds 20 billion euros, but the exact amount is not very clear at present. But even so, to make up for such a huge hole, Vivendi has to sell off its various businesses. This is your and our chance to get through this difficult time!" Guo Shouyun nodded and continued.

Rebecca Mark's mind quickly turned. If everything was as the big boss said, the possibility of acquiring Vivendi's water business quickly rose from less than 5% to 50%.

"How much support can you give me financially?" Rebecca Mark's face was full of fighting spirit and eagerness.

"$8 billion!"

Rebecca nodded. Although 8 billion US dollars is not enough for the value of the entire Vivendi Water, but with this money as a foundation, financing acquisitions will become much easier.

"Rebecca, although I allow you to try to acquire Vivendi's water business, you must understand that your core mission is to deal with the loss-making business of Anping Investments. If I don't see a change for a while, I will Consider dismissing your current position as CEO of Anping Investments!" Guo Shouyun said solemnly.

The acquisition of 'Vivendi Environment' is just an innocuous attempt, and it doesn't matter if it is successful or not. And what he really wants Rebecca to do is to solve the major loss-making projects under "Anping Investment", and must not put the cart before the horse.

In the face of the big boss's solemn warning, Rebecca Mark was awe-inspiring. The mind that had been somewhat fanatical quickly calmed down.

"I will come up with an answer that will satisfy you in a short time!"

"That's good! ... Also, the Teesside project in the UK needs to be dealt with as soon as possible, and if necessary, the entire power plant can be bought!"

This gigantic power plant, which accounts for 4% of the UK's electricity consumption and has an installed capacity of nearly 2,000 megawatts, is different from Enron's other loss-making businesses. It lost money because of that big bang in August. The blast destroyed 40 percent of Teesside's facilities and injured hundreds of people. Therefore, the Teesside Power Plant, which was originally a golden rooster, has become the current mess. Compensation and power plant reconstruction require a lot of money, and there are not many companies willing to invest this money, because the cost recovery time is too long, which happens to give Anping an opportunity to buy at a low price.

In addition to money, there is another inhumane reason - Prince William. This new friend, immediately after Guo Shouyun acquired Enron, called him for help. The content is also very simple. Enron, which holds 28% of the shares of Teesside, has been delayed for almost two months due to lack of funds leading to the reconstruction of Teesside and workers' compensation. He hoped that as the new sponsor of Enron, Guo Shouyun could solve this difficulty as soon as possible.

In this regard, Guo Shouyun will naturally not refuse. After all, the power business is the core business of Enron Pacific. At the same time, he also needs Prince William, a powerful new friend, to open up the energy market of the United Kingdom and other Commonwealth countries.

Finally, after discussing with Rebecca Mark about Teesside and other rectification plans for the loss-making projects of the original Enron, she was let go.

"Boss~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Do you really plan to acquire Vivendi's water business?"

Wendy wondered after closing the office door.

Guo Shouyun nodded, "Whether it's successful or not, let Rebecca try it out."

In his memory, in order to tide over the difficulties, Vivendi separated his core business and sold some shares to form the world's largest water group, Veolia. But in the end, he didn't know how many shares of Vivendi left in Veolia.

In addition, compared with the water affairs, what really made him think about the game business of Vivendi, which is the Blizzard that will become a big hit in the future. Even Guo Shouyun of Universal Pictures wanted to try it. In any case, Vidiwang, who has fallen into a loss, is like a big piece of fat, and there is always another piece to be dug.

"what time is it?"

"Fifteen minutes to five in the afternoon!"

Nodding, "Pack up, let's go back, we have something to do tonight!"

"Yes!"
