PROBLEMS.
MARIA: WE WILL SEE ABOUT THAT.
LET ME MOVE ONTO ASK YOU ABOUT
CARLOS GOSHN AND POSSIBILITY OF
A COUP HERE.
I'VE BEEN BELIEVING THAT THIS
WAS A COUP FROM THE GET-GO, I
KNOW UNDERNEATH IT ALL, MANY
PEOPLE INSIDE NISSAN DID NOT
WANT TO MERGE WITH RENO.
3 SECONDS INTO IT THE CEO TURNED
ON HIM.
AFTER ARREST OF CARLOS GOSHN FOR
ALLEGEDLY FALSIFYING FINANCIAL
RECORDS, SOME SAY THERE COULD BE
MORE BEHIND THE CHARGES
INCLUDING MYSELF.
ANALYSTS REPORT GOSHN'S ARREST
COULD BE TIMED TO PUSH HIM OUT
TO GIVE NISSAN IN ENDING
ALLIANCE WITH AUTOMAKER.
WHAT'S YOUR TAKE ON ALL OF THIS?
>> I DON'T KNOW ABOUT A
CONSPIRACY THEORY, THAT ALL IS
MADE UP BY NISSAN OR BY FORCES,
IT COULD BE.
WHAT IS CERTAIN IS THAT CARLOS
GOSHN BUILT ONE OF THE TOP THREE
OEM IN THE WORLD WITH ALLIANCE
TOGETHER WITH MITSUBISHI AND
THEN CLEARLY I THINK THERE'S
SOME LEARNING FROM THE -- LET'S
SAY GOVERNANCE POINT OF VIEW
BOTH ON FRENCH FRONT AN NISSAN
POINT OF VIEW.
IF WHAT THEY ALLEGE HAS
HAPPENED, REALLY HAPPENED, LACK
OF GOVERNANCE THAT SHOULD BE --
MARIA: THAT'S THE THING, CAN
CARLOS GOSHN MAKE ALL THE FUN
AND CFO AND THE BOARD IS NOT
AWARE OF IT?
HOW IS IT POSSIBLE THAT HE
UNDERREPORTED HIS PAY AND NOBODY
KNEW ABOUT IT?
IS HE A ONE-MAN SHOW, WHAT ABOUT
THE BOARD?
>> IT WON'T BE THE FIRST TIME IF
THAT HAPPENS.
I WOULD WAIT TO SEE WHAT THE
JUDGE WILL FIND OUT AND WHAT THE
INVESTIGATION WILL END UP WITH,
AGAIN, I HAD THE PLEASURE TO
WORK WITH HIM.
I WILL MAKE PART THAT HIS
PERSONALITY, I WORKED WITH BOTH
VERY STRONG PERSONALITY,
PROBABLY THE STRONGEST
PERSONALITY IN THE AUTOMOTIVE
INDUSTRY IN THE LAST YEARS,
HIGHLY OPINIONATED.
THEY SAVED NISSAN AND BUILT TWO
VERY STRONG GROUPS.
THAT REMAINS WITH WHATEVER
HAPPENS.
DISTINGUISH BETWEEN CARLOS GOSHN
MANAGER AND CARLOS GOSHN MAN
WHICH HAS TO BE SEEN WHAT HE DID
IF HE DID.
MARIA: AT ONE POINT HE WAS AN
ICON IN JAPAN, RIGHT, THEY HAD A
COMIC BOOK CHARACTER NAMED AFTER
HIM AND HE DID REVIVE NISSAN AND
YET NOW RENO IS THE WEAKER
PLAYER AND RENO WAS GOING TO
ACQUIRE NISSAN.
THE THING THAT REALLY BOTHERED
ME ABOUT IT JAPAN THREW HIM IN
JAIL WITHOUT OFFICIAL CHARGES,
HE SAT THERE AND THEY KEPT
EXTENDING THE TIME, HE'S STILL
IN JAIL AND CAN'T ALLOW THEM TO
SPEAK TO HIS FAMILY.
SMELLS HORRIBLY.
THE JOURNAL THIS MORNING DETAILS
HOW CEO MARY BARR IS UNDER FIRE
FROM THE PRESIDENT, CLOSE
PLANTS, LAY OFF THOUSANDS OF
WORKERS, ALEX PARTNERS WAS
INVOLVED DURING FINANCIAL CRISIS
AT THE TIME THE WHOLE COUNTRY
WAS WATCHING THE DEVELOPMENTS
THERE, WHAT'S YOUR REACTION TO
WHAT'S TAKEN PLACE NOW AS NOW
THE COMPANY IS LAYING ALL OF THE
PEOPLE AFTER GETTING THE MASSIVE
BAILOUT?
>> WELL, GM IS A VERY DIFFERENT
COMPANY NOW.
THAT WAS A VERY SUCCESSFUL
TURNAROUND.
SHE SEES THAT SHE HAS TO
ANTICIPATE SOME PROBLEMS, THE
MARKETS TURNED DIFFERENTLY, THE
PASSENGER CARS ARE NOT SOLD AS
WELL AS THEY USED TO AND GM IS
REFOCUSING TOWARD LARGE SUV'S
AND PICKUPS ON ONE SIDE AND THE
OTHER SIDE FOCUSING ON THE NEW
CARS, ELECTRIC CARS, AUTONOMOUS
CARS, IT'S CHANGING THE SCHEME.
MARIA: REALITIES OF MARKETPLACE.
>> SHE HAS TO ADJUST THIS BIG
HUGE COMPANY TO THE NEW REALITY,
REFOCUS ON THE NEW CAR.
MARIA: I CAN UNDERSTAND.
