Chapter 588

No one expected that the arrival of President Grumman brought such a news. You know, today's Blackwater Raytheon and Grumman are not small companies. They are second only to Lockheed Martin and Boeing in the United States.

If the merger is successful, the military industrial company of the United States will produce a super giant no less than the two giants, which will not surprise the people.

"Kent, as far as I know, you were not going to merge with Lockheed Martin, but it was rejected in the end. Do you think the Department of defense and Congress will agree if we merge?

Besides, you should see that Blackwater and Thor have just merged, and many things have just begun to unfold. Now talk about merging again. Do you think this is the right time? " Rumsfeld asked back with a serious face after straightening up.

"Henry, I think you should also make it clear why our merger with Martin was rejected. Obviously, some people in Congress still don't want to have a super giant to achieve the purpose of monopoly.

Since monopoly giants cannot appear, Congress says it is a national defense security consideration, don't you think it's safer for the two giants to stand apart than the three giants?

As for whether the Pentagon and Congress can pass, I think this should not be a big problem. We are not a company such as Boeing or even Martin. Even after the merger, we have barely reached two major scales. Let's look at several major companies today, which company is not crazy about acquisition and merger.

……

Besides, with our contacts and communication, I think there should be no big problem through the Pentagon. Finally, we should compete in Congress. However, our opposition to the merger should be much less this time. We work together. I think the possibility of success is more than seven layers.

Henry, I think it's really a successful merger. I think it's very beneficial for both of us and even individuals. I think you should understand that. " Kent Kresa explained to the crowd.

Listening to the introduction of Kent, an arms tycoon, Li Feng really moved his mind. It's easier to pass the recognition of the Pentagon. After all, Rumsfeld was also a former Secretary of defense, and Li Feng had a good relationship with zipper ton, plus the forces behind him.

As for Congress, there will certainly be opposition, but with the joint efforts of Blackwater and Grumman, it is really possible to pass it.

Another point, according to the history of previous lives, before 2000, this was the last time for mergers and acquisitions. I don't know if it was the reason at the turn of the century. In the 1990s, the military industrial company of the United States set off a wave of mergers and acquisitions, and finally laid the five golden Gang models later. I really want to miss this period of time. I don't know if there will be such an opportunity in the future.

Finally, the two companies are really complementary. Grumman's strengths are radar and naval shipbuilding. Most of the aircraft carriers of the United States are built by Grumman, which can be imagined.

In terms of radar, today's Blackwater Thor is almost equal to Grumman. If combined, it can establish a world leading position in radar.

Coupled with the rest of the business departments, including aircraft and aerospace, the merged company can indeed achieve the status of Lockheed Martin and Boeing.

……

After such thinking, Li Feng found that if the merger could really be achieved, the benefits for his development in the United States would be obvious. The temptation to become a major shareholder behind companies like Lockheed Martin and Boeing is too great. Although the shares may be reduced after the merger, there are too many benefits as major shareholders of companies as large as Lockheed Martin and Boeing.

Not only Li Feng, but also Rumsfeld, Kent Kresa and others are thinking about what kind of energy it contains to be the head of a forklift company such as Lockheed Martin and Boeing. When they think about these, they are all ready to move.

"Kent, are you sure you have been authorized by the shareholders and the board of directors?" After calming down, Li Feng finally confirmed it.

"Naturally, we all know that this is of great benefit to both sides. Our advantageous projects can be complemented immediately and it is very necessary to establish the leading position of some projects in the world."

"According to the strength of the two companies, to be honest, our Blackwater Raytheon company is inferior to Grumman company for the time being. Do you have a merger plan?" Li Feng asked.

"We can consider cash plus equity." Kent hesitated a little and said slowly.

"Sure enough..." after listening to the answer, Li Feng said in his heart, "this is not a merger. It clearly means to buy us."

……

I still remember that when Blackwater merged with Thor, Li Feng wanted to use such a strategy. Unfortunately, Thor refused in the end. Li Feng finally considered that he still occupied a large number of shares in the new company, was an absolute major shareholder, or gave up the original idea, and finally completed the direct merger plan.

Now Grumman company is based on Li Feng's mind. It's really a turn of Feng Shui. This time, it's someone else who cares about his company.

Thinking here, Li Feng couldn't help looking at Rumsfeld, who is now the head of Blackwater Raytheon company. It happened that the big man also looked at himself with a smile in his eyes.

Obviously, the big man also wanted to say the key and Li Feng's original plan, which is almost the same as Li Feng's original plan.

"Kent, you know, we have just completed the merger and are busy integrating business, which can not be decided at once. However, I have a suggestion. You can listen to it. In fact, we can also 'merge' Northrop Grumman in the form of cash and shares. I think the advantages outweigh the disadvantages for both sides, don't we?" At this time, Li Feng retorted with a smile.

"John, are you sure you're not kidding?"

"Kent, you see, we really have money. You see, we can consider whether it is 10 billion, 20 billion or 30 billion." At this time, Li Feng, with a full smile, stretched out his fingers and said slowly.

……

There is no doubt that Li Feng's comparison is very strong, and everyone around him can't help being dull. Especially when Li Feng gently shook his fingers and said 10 billion, 20 billion, or even 30 billion, the shock in the hearts of several big men is even greater.

You know, Grumman is also a listed company. Today's market value is really not good enough, just tens of billions of dollars. According to the cash scale said by Li Feng, it is indeed possible to launch an acquisition war to acquire Grumman.

One of the most shocking is Ronald Hugh, President of Leighton company, the future arms boss.

It turned out that Grumman had been considering acquiring Leighton company before, and even had contact with Hugh. Of course, Hugh hasn't talked to the board of directors and the shareholders' meeting yet. After all, President Grumman just talked to others before.

However, seeing that Li Feng is so high-end, Hugh has another idea. Since they are all going to be acquired, why is there only one Grumman? It can bring Blackwater or Li Feng in. Can we sell at a high price only if there is competition.

Well, if Li Feng knew, because he acted so strongly, maybe he would have acted all over the world.

If Li Feng knew Hugh's mind, he would feel it. Indeed, it was the most deadly invisible outfit.
