How does a multinational corporation downsize prior to an economic collapse and/or massive die off of people without alarming others?
You push some idiotic agenda so your sales go down and you use it as the excuse to layoff employees and sell off equipment and production facilities at a relatively good price.
This way you're "sitting in cash" and the other beer manufacturer who bought your equipment and facilities gets to lose his ass during the financial collapse and/or massive die off of customers.
Then, before the economy begins to recover, you use the horded capital you got from the other beer manufacturer to re-buy what you sold him at a massively discounted price.
If the massive die off of people is the ultimate plan then you won't need to buy back the equipment and facilities, and you get to keep your horded capital.
