GE出售旗下全部水处理业务的新闻已经过了两个月了,圣诞马上就到了,估计圣诞老人也帮不了GE在这几天找到最后的买家。留意这个新闻的同行应该也看过这样那样的报道。近日小编发现来自美国Sustainable Resource Technologies公司的创始人Tom Volinchak撰写的一篇分析GE退出水务市场的文章在领英的水处理圈蹿红。小编把它翻译成中文供大家阅读。水平有限,如有错误,敬请指正:
为什么西门子和GE相继退出水务市场?
一个非常精明的同事最近问我:“为什么通用电气GE要兜售其水处理业务?” 不是说我们正处什么全球水危机吗?像GE这样的大公司不是应该担当起技术和创新的弄潮儿吗?我可以肯定的是,圈内人士已经有了各种各样的解释和观点。但是,根据我多年的业绩和经验,我有一个我认为最合逻辑的解释。
早在上世纪80年代末,我当时在一家叫Arrowhead Industrial Water的公司工作。他们当时刚被一个叫B.F Goodrich (百路驰) 收购,然后很快又被卖给了一个叫Dick Heckman的创业家和他那家叫US Filter的公司。Heckman先生当时有一个伟大的愿景和使命——缔造一个全球一站式的水处理巨无霸,为人类提供所有跟水相关的业务。不过后来他把公司卖给了西门子,后来西门子又把它卖了,并改名为Evaqua。
在我看来,Dick Heckman 是历史上第一个水务掠夺者(这是我对这类人的一个叫法。注:作者原文用的词是water grabbers)。而我是少数几个得知这些内情的人。
