Detective Conan: The Grey Winged Angel

　　 On December 31st, French time, at nearly 7:30 in the evening, the master study of the first family manor outside Paris.

　　 The old man asked: "What does this Miss Ferdinand fancy about the Sith Department Store? Or, what does the Good Mood Consortium look for in the Sith Department Store? Fortunately, oil and steel, department stores?"

　　 Ron said: "The department store in the Riyao Building was sent by the Qibaihan Department Store, and the food in the supermarket was sent by Yanben's company."

　　 The old man asked: "What special subsidiaries does Sith Department Store have?"

Ron thought for a while and said: "There are five. The first was established in the 1920s. It turned out to be the second in the United States. It is currently the fifth property and casualty insurance company, Auster Financial Services. The second is It was acquired in 1981, the largest real estate brokerage company in the United States, and currently the third largest real estate brokerage company, Coase Real Estate. The third was acquired in 1981, and is currently the sixth largest securities company in the United States. 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 Corporation. The fifth is the Western Auto Supply Company acquired in 1988."

　　 "Sith Credit Card." The old man said to himself.

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

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

"Then it is the Sith Department Store itself, but it is not a good mood consortium, but Miss Ferdinand herself, who will open the convenience store in the gas station in the future. Moreover, the Oostei Financial Services Company has auto insurance business, and the Western Automobile Supply Company There are many more sites, which are useful for those car companies under Miss Ferdinand’s name.” Ron said, “Also, Sith Department Store has 30 manufacturing plants of its own, and more than 10,000 custom-branded plants. It couldn’t be better to make real movie props."

"Are the industries complementary?" The old man smiled, "It's possible." Then he added, "Sith Department Store has been occupying the No. 1 position in the U.S. retail industry since the early twentieth century, but since the 1980s The business started in the middle of the problem, and it declined even after the 1990s. However, the centipede is dead but not stiff. If it is owned all, it can be ranked second, but now Miss Ferdinand only owns 70% of its shares. , This card can only be ranked third."

　　 "Father, if you say that, the first position will change." Ron smiled.

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

"The Western Industries Corporation, founded by Westinghouse, and the Western Industries Corporation, which has been competing with General Electric Corporation for a century, has a 50% share of the world’s nuclear power market and a 60% share in the United States. Share of Western Industries Corporation." Ron asked with a smile, "How about this?"

"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 supplies systems, power systems, and scientific research systems. In 1988, it sold Parafilm to the Migao Entertainment Group, and later listed Biya Records as a whole, which would be equivalent to giving up the broadcasting system, but Even so, the money it received still did not make it through, and it was still acquired in 1994." Then he asked, "I remember that Western Industries was "passed" by the famous Huoxiu Aerospace. The company bought it, so it was released?"

"Yes, Huoxiu Company took away the nuclear power department and part of the scientific research department related to the defense business of Western Industries Corporation. The other parts, including civilian nuclear power, were sold to Miss Ferdinand not long ago." Ron laughed, "The second largest The third card is now Western Industries."

"At the time of Huoxue Company, Western Industries had almost no development, just fulfilling the old contracts. The business of the US Department of Defense and the nuclear power business of various countries have also stopped." The old man asked, "What news is next? ?"

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

　　 The old man interrupted and asked: "Why is this?"

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

　　 "It's a pity," the old man said.

"Secondly, the wholly-owned factories in various countries will be converted into subsidiaries and regional operations will be divided. The joint venture factories will be evaluated for technology, and if possible, they will be sold to local enterprises or the government. If not, the shares will be sold to Other American companies, such as General Electric Company ~www.readwn.com~ said Ron, and then smiled, "The typical company is too big to manage. "

"For Miss Ferdinand, what is needed most is the scientific research system and technical personnel of Western Industries. This is the accumulation of Western Industries for a century, but I don't know how much will be left after being taken over by Huoxiu." Asked, "By the way, how much did Miss Ferdinand spend on acquiring Western Industries?"

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

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

"The third largest brand in Miss Ferdinand's hand is the Rust Automotive Group. Mr. Bartlett and Miss Ferdinand started buying automobile companies in 1989. That should be the time for Miss Mei Daizi to fly over the cliff continuously." Luo En said.

"I remember that Mr. Bartlett went to Germany in 1989 and wanted to buy Ferrari Motor Company and Alfa Romeo Motor Company from Fiat Automobile Group, and from Daimler Automobile Group. I bought the Mercedes-Benz Automobile Company and the Baoshijie Automobile Company from Dazhong Automobile Group. The results were rejected, and I also touched an old nose." The old man laughed, "And in the United States, Miss Ferdinand from the popular The U.S. Automobile Group acquired the First Automobile Company, the Aston Martin Automobile Company from the Foot Automobile Group, and the Lamborghini Automobile Company from the Kolesler Automobile Group. According to the Lesler Group, it has absorbed the Bugatti Automobile Factory and the Detomaso Automobile Factory, which owns the Masaladi brand, to form a super sports car group dominated by Rostock Motors."...
