Rebirth of England.

Chapter 806 Change
Of course, this does not mean that Motorola Mobility needs to completely abandon their production capacity. Even if it is a certain autonomous need, they will eventually retain at least some production and manufacturing plants.

Therefore, at least Motorola’s production base in Tianjin, China will definitely be retained, instead of being directly sold by Google as in the original time and space.

In order to complete the restructuring of Motorola Mobility, at the instruction of Baron, Ivanta specially invited Lawrence Culp to serve as the CEO of Motorola Mobility.

As CEO of Danaher Corporation from 2000, he led the company to a successful transformation, with revenue and market value increasing fivefold. As a result, he was listed as one of the "Top 50 CEOs in the World" by Harvard Business Review.

And Baron knows that in his previous life, Lawrence Culp would become the CEO of General Electric (GE) in 2018 and successfully save the company through cost cuts and asset sales, as well as debt repayment.

What Lawrence Culp needs to do at Motorola Mobility will also be similar business restructuring and cost cutting, with the goal of first achieving a turnaround.

"I heard that Google has basically stopped investing in the GOS system and will close this department or merge it into other departments..."

Barron was not at all surprised by what Ivanta said.

After all, Motorola was an important member of the GOS system camp before this, but it is obvious that after Motorola Mobility was acquired by IC Capital, it will only retain the research and development of Android system phones...

As for Google, given the performance of its previous GOS system, it is impossible for them to spend a huge price to buy Motorola Mobility like Baron did in his previous life - besides, the sales of Motorola's GOS mobile phones themselves are very disappointing. Even if Google's management has the urge to do so, their shareholders will try their best to prevent this from happening.

Therefore, with Motorola destined to withdraw from the GOS camp, Google's partners in mobile operating systems are getting fewer and fewer - those mobile phone manufacturers are not stupid, they can all see the future trend and there is no need to go against the trend.

In March of this year, Forbes magazine still released the latest list of the world's richest people.

In this rich list, benefiting from the recovery of the world economy, the number of billionaires and total assets in the world both hit record highs.

Mexican billionaire Carlos Slim has returned to the top spot for the first time since last year, and his lead has widened as he tops the rich list with a net worth of $740 billion...

Microsoft founder Bill Gates and billionaire investor and "stock god" Warren Buffett ranked second and third, with assets of US$560 billion and US$500 billion respectively.

As for Barron, his ranking on the rich list has dropped to fifth place this year because of his continuous "donations" to charity over the years...

Of course, he also gained a good reputation among the public for being kind and generous, and according to statistics, Barron attended more than 50 charity-related activities last year alone...

In the past year alone, companies and trusts owned by Barron have donated more than $10 billion to non-profit organizations including the Devonshire Charitable Foundation and the Prosperous Earth Foundation (PEF).

These nominal "donations" will also provide Barron with influence in other areas.

The Thriving Earth Foundation, currently led by David Miliband, has offices in several countries including Australia, Asia and West Africa.

"We will first start with educational institutions and the media, cooperate with some universities in these countries, and screen young people with a sense of social responsibility to help them grow. At the same time, we will shape these young 'opinion leaders' to have a good impression of us, thereby influencing the younger generation in these countries." Since the last time Barron met with David and he decided to join the Prosperous Earth Foundation, David Miliband acted very quickly.

David Miliband himself has a lot of resources in this area, and after investing funds, he quickly built a relatively complete framework.

As early as February, Kolo President Jammeh Bongo had announced the date for Kolo's general election.

This time the general election is still scheduled for March 3.

According to previous surveys, the two candidates in this election, Soba Fleming from the Kolo People's Party and Thomas Kaboré from the Kolo Socialist Party, have a much higher support rate than other small parties.

The support rates of Soba Fleming and Thomas Kaboré are very close, so it is difficult to determine who will win in the end before then.

Soba Fleming eventually became a candidate in the internal competition of the Kolo People's Party and was supported by Jammeh Bongo.

Thomas Kaboré has competed with Jammeh Bongo for the presidency of Kolo twice, and can be said to have fought again and again despite repeated defeats.

In terms of media reporting, the West African Media Group did not make any obvious biased reports and basically maintained a neutral attitude.

However, when the Kolo election ended, it was not beyond Barron's expectations. Thomas Kaboré of the Kolo Socialist Party received more votes than Soba Fleming and was eventually elected as the new president of Kolo.

This is also the first time that the Colombo Socialist Party has won a general election.

After the results were announced, Soba Fleming held a press conference, admitted his failure, and said that he would continue to lead the Kolo People's Party and fulfill his supervisory responsibilities for the development of Kolo.

Thomas Kaboré will succeed Jammeh Bongo as president when his term ends in a month.

As for Jammeh Bongo, after congratulating Thomas Kaboré on his victory, he said that after the end of his presidential term, he would no longer hold any government position and would instead enter the University of Colo, which has moved to the capital, Blitta, to serve as the president of Colo University.

Of course, the Jammeh Bongo family had already acquired part of the shares of the West African Group at this time. With this part of wealth alone, their family had become one of the richest families in Colo, and even in the whole of West Africa.

According to his plan, after his eldest son Nicolas Bongo graduates from Cambridge University, he will also return to Kolo and join the Kolo People's Party.

I believe that with the help of Jammeh Bongo, Nicolas Bongo, who inherited his political legacy, will certainly be able to make a difference in the political arena of Kolo.

Perhaps, he will become the future president of Kolo...
