CEMEX S.A.B. de C.V.

He's an engineer.

He worked for Cemex in the past as an MBA.

But he spent 30 years basically running as a deeply experienced corporate executive, Mexican businesses, most of those owned by very wealthy Mexican families.

And they'd be multi-billion dollar businesses doing incredible revenue.

It's got GE behind it.

It's got Cemex.

It's got many of the really big companies globally working in this space.

And so Dune Technologies have this Cobot machine in Ballarat and their vision, if it could happen, is, you know, you think planned communities.

And it lays out a clear list of Biden-era precedents she wants the board to revisit or overturn.

And we're talking about roughly a dozen items here, such as restrictions on severance agreements and non-disparagement clauses, the TerraCycle and Tesla standards on workplace rules and dress codes, captive audience meetings, and then what we had been calling the Cemex bargaining order framework and much more.

But those are just a few of the highlights there.

So with that three to one Republican majority, she highlighted real progress on the agency's massive case backlog, more than a 50% reduction in pending regional cases since she took office.

You know, he's an engineer.

He worked for Cemex in the past, but he's been heavily involved in Mexico's business business culture and environment for many, many years and really well placed for that job.

We also hired Diego as our government relations.

Diego actually worked for Seminat in the past and then worked for FIFOMI, which is the federal investment vehicle for mining.

So what would be your compelling story for, um, a Carib Cement?

C- Cemex might want to buy it.

Cemex might want to take it, take, take it private a- and drain the company.

Mm.

They're already draining it heavily, but they might want every drop.

They've done a lot of selling off pieces and taking the cash and putting elsewhere.

They, they've brought the group in very tightly.

Um, and, and cash generation has been a big deal for Cemex at the NASDAQ level, and Jamaica generates a lot of cash.

Oye,

pero Pecho, Cemex le cerró la llave.

Eso es un hecho, ¿no? O sea, no son los refuerzos de antes.

Hoy no hay ni un guiñac, hoy no hay un correo.

You may have.

But that area that's sort of close to Cemex, the concrete plant, is the high point of the park, isn't it? It actually goes uphill.

It does slightly.

So I'm wondering if they're cutting into that, flattening it off.

That's better, isn't

it? What else is happening? There's a new road been installed.

Oh, yeah? The core zone entrance, again, next to Cemex.

Do you remember that one? Yep.

You use some of it for making cement.

And my concern is they were going to turn this entire facility over to a Mexican company called CMEX that has probably 80-plus thousand Americans work here.

They have operations in the United States.

So we're looking at one of the things that we're looking at, and this is what August Luger's bill would do that I'm a co-sponsor on, is any Mexican flagged vessel ship would be denied access to a U.S. port.
