九月初，美国的投资机构 Elliott Management 要求百事公司效仿可口可乐，出售可乐的装瓶业务。装瓶是可乐 生意中，相当重要的一环。以可口可乐为例，他们主要负责营销活动，然后把浓缩液卖给装瓶商，装瓶商需要 生产可乐、搭建销售和物流体系，把可乐送到超市的货架上。 从历史来看，可乐公司与装瓶商的关系几经分合。上世纪七十年代，百事将部分装瓶业务收归体系；到 2000 年 左右又重新分拆。在 08 年 金融危机之后，可口可乐与百事几乎同时收购各自的装瓶商，但此后可口可乐选 择「再次放手」，将北美装瓶业务拆分出去，而百事则继续自营。 金融时报曾形容两者关系如同摇滚乐队成员，时而合体、时而解散：当企业希望强控生产与配送，便收回装 瓶；当觉得利润率不高、资本占用过重，则交还给第三方。以激进投资著称的 Elliott Management 通过持股介 入公司治理，推动业绩改善以抬升股价；这一次，他们希望百事也走上可口可乐的道路。 那么，在可乐的发展过程中，装瓶商这个角色是怎么出现的呢？ 本文整理自播客「声动早咖啡」 可口可乐诞生于 1886 年 的美国亚特兰大。根据《可口可乐帝国》的记载，早期经营者缺乏资金、车辆 ...

You own that s ...

今年9月初，埃利奥特曾披露持有百事40亿美元股份，并发布一份75页的报告，详细提出提升百事盈利 能力的建议。对此，百事回应称，公司与股东保持积极沟通，将对埃利奥特的演示文件内容进行评估。 对冲基金埃利奥特投资管理公司(Elliott Investment Management)正推动百事公司(PEP.US)削减成本、剥 离低增长品牌，这一主张已获得其他部分投资者的支持。不过有消息显示，埃利奥特另一个核心诉求， 即要求百事效仿可口可乐(KO.US)拆分瓶装业务，目前获得的支持度较低。 此前，可口可乐已完成全球瓶装业务拆分，拆分后成立了可口可乐企业公司(Coca-Cola Enterprises)、可 口可乐欧洲太平洋合作伙伴公司(Coca-Cola Europacific Partners，CCEP)及可口可乐墨西哥瓶装公司 (Coca-Cola FEMSA，KOF)等独立瓶装实体。 在面向百事股东的演示文件中，埃利奥特表示，"回购瓶装业务"在过去某一阶段具有合理性，但如今已 到评估"更高效特许经营模式"的时机。该对冲基金警示称："百事北美(PBNA)的一体化运营模式，在区 域层面已被可口可乐'特许经营化'的瓶 ...
