The 3G Capital business model is based on philosophies of Goldman Sachs in finance and Walmart in retail. It is a philosophy combining meritocracy and efficiency and gives the best workers the opportunities to become shareholders. Following the merger of two of Brazil's largest brewers to form Ambev, 3G's international expansion led to the founding of InBev, and eventually to the purchase of Anheuser-Busch and the creation of AB InBev, the world's largest brewing company. They have since become the owners of three other global American icons: the Burger King hamburger chain, and then Heinz and Kraft Foods together with their partner Warren Buffet's Berkshire Hathaway. Subsequently they acquired control of SABMiller, the world's second largest brewer, and more recently have made an approach to acquire Unilever together with Berkshire Hathaway. The culture forged by the trio who are 3G Capital is seen as highly effective by its admirers, and overaggressive by its critics. But there is little doubt that their approach has improved the performance of all of the companies in which they are involved, and unlike many private equity companies, 3G provides hands-on management and remains committed for the long-term. Having been given unprecedented access to the trio, and to over 100 people representing both sides of the negotiations, the author presents a detailed behind the scenes portrait of the meteoric rise of three businessmen to their present role as managers of some the largest food and drinks companies in the world, and how they have revolutionized all of the companies that they have acquired.
