Chapter 863

Unconsciously, the time entered March.

On March 15, the 5-star Golf Resort in Malibu under skyline real estate stopped business two days ago and was chartered by Blackwater Raytheon and Northrop Grumman.

Over the past two days, tycoons from all over the United States, politicians and businessmen have gathered here one after another. Yes, the merger of Blackwater Raytheon and Northrop Grumman has finally come to an end. Even if an agreement has been signed privately, it will be announced to the public and approved by the government and Congress.

At this time, in the presidential suite on the top floor of the hotel, Li Feng, several management personnel of Blackwater Raytheon and several closest partners gathered to discuss and chat.

"John, are you going to sign in person or do I sign on behalf of the company?" Rumsfeld asked Li Feng jokingly.

"Ram, I'll forget it. You'd better sign on behalf of the company. You're the CEO of the company, aren't you?" Li Feng shrugged at the crowd with his wine glass and replied indifferently.

"Hey... John, you don't look like a young man at all!"

"I was just the praise you gave me at that time. If I were really like a young man, I might not have achieved what I am now. There is a Chinese saying that 'there are gains and losses'. There is no perfect life. I think it makes sense. I won the success of my career, but lost the vitality of my childhood and youth." Li Feng returned with a 13 fan with some eggs, which made everyone laugh.

"Yes, do you have any new instructions for the new company as the behind the scenes controller of Meidi's super military industry enterprise?" David Rockefeller, an old fellow, laughed and joked.

"What kind of controller am I, and I can't control it!" Li Feng replied with a smile.

"Shit... John, you still want to directly control the new company. Your heart is really big!" Hearing Li Feng's words and expression, Kenny couldn't help shouting.

“…”

……

Think about it, for example, companies such as Loma and Boeing, the government will not allow individuals to control. Even if you hide wealth, it is difficult to directly control in the end, mainly because the competition for shares is too fierce.

Today, Li Feng has so many shares in the new company, thanks to the wave of mergers in recent years, so that Li Feng has the money to buy directly. If companies merge directly with each other, it will lead to more scattered shares of the company.

In fact, the merger of the two companies is more suitable for Blackwater Raytheon to merge Northrop Grumman. At present, the economic form of the United States is developing vigorously. Some shareholders of Northrop Grumman also intend to sell some shares.

There is also the wave of mergers of large American military enterprises formed in the 1990s, which makes Northrop Grumman company do not mind mergers. After all, Northrop Grumman company wanted to merge with Loma company before. It is said to be a merger, but it was also acquired and merged by Loma company.

Unfortunately, the two companies signed a contract and waited for the approval of the government and Congress. As a result, they were finally rejected by the government for antitrust reasons. They went back to the second place and found the newly merged Blackwater Raytheon company, which made Li Feng cheaper and gave Li Feng a chance.

In this merger, Blackwater Raytheon made a total offer of $26 billion for Northrop Grumman before the formal transaction, which is naturally a premium. Now the market values of the two companies are about the same, at about $20 billion.

In short, Blackwater Raytheon is the first listed company under Li Feng. Previously, Raytheon became a listed company because Raytheon was a listed company. Before the merger, the revenue of Blackwater Raytheon was equal to that of Northrop Grumman.

Last year, the revenue of the whole Blackwater Raytheon company was about US $8.5 billion and that of Northrop company was about US $9 billion. It was finally determined that the valuation was combined in the form of half and half.

……

In the original history, Northrop was still stronger than Raytheon. In the United States, Northrop was called the third pole after Loma and Boeing.

However, due to Li Feng's intervention in this life, Blackwater, TRW, Leighton and other military companies have been directly merged. As a result, Blackwater Raytheon in this life is definitely stronger than Raytheon in the previous life, and can be comparable to Northrop.

With a total offer of US $26 billion, Li Feng privately has to bear us $10.4 billion in cash. In addition, he previously occupied about 44% of the shares in Blackwater Raytheon and almost 42% of the shares of the new company after the merger. He is the absolute largest shareholder and may even have unlimited possibility of holding shares in the future.

Li Feng is willing to spend more money and want more shares. Even if others don't know how many shares Li Feng giant has, it's a pity that no one is willing to let Li Feng get more shares. Northrop Grumman is willing to sell 40% of its shares in cash at most, and the rest are counted as shares of the new company.

Of course, on the bright side, Li Feng now occupies only about 6% of the shares, and the rest are led in the form of funds. Each fund occupies less than 1% of the shares, and there are 40 of these funds alone. It looks really cumbersome.

The $10.4 billion is temporarily backed by Wells Fargo, Citigroup, America and Li Feng's Standard Chartered. Li Feng privately reached an agreement with the four banks to mortgage 20% of the shares of the new company, which is a two-year loan.

As for the repayment method of Li Feng and the four major banks, it is even tax evasion and avoidance here. That is, when it expires, Li Feng will pay 30% of the total interest, that is, this $104. After two years, Li Feng will pay a total of $13.52 billion to others.

……

Compared with the normal loan interest rate of Bank of America, this interest rate is obviously too high. It is simply usury. However, these funds are directly traded outside the United States. Several major banks also put this money directly in accounts outside the United States. After all, it needs to pay taxes to transfer back to the United States. No one would be so stupid.

Besides, world banks such as Citigroup and Wells Fargo also need a lot of overseas funds to facilitate international transactions, transfer and investment. Both sides have avoided high taxes. Both Li Feng and major banks are very cost-effective transactions and achieve a win-win situation.

Otherwise, why do future generations always reveal which bank has been fined a huge amount by the government for tax evasion or participating in illegal transactions of the company? In fact, the funds outside are placed in this form.

Strictly speaking, such transactions between Li Feng and major banks are obviously illegal. However, obviously, no one will explain directly, which has become an invisible rule.

Similarly, it can also be seen how important it is to have a world bank. The bank is the foundation of a world consortium. No matter where it develops, it is inseparable from the support of the bank. No wonder Wall Street can control the global economy.

It has to be said that Li Feng has barely made up for his shortcomings. The acquisitions of Standard Chartered and standard bank are generally too cost-effective.

......

This is one of the reasons why, for example, it is so difficult for Chinese domestic companies to acquire foreign companies, and it is so easy for foreign large global companies to acquire. These large companies have a lot of funds abroad and can use them anytime and anywhere without worrying about the government's investigation.

Many domestic companies in Huaxia have participated in global acquisitions, but in the process of acquisition, it is clear that domestic companies have a lot of cash, but often the funds have to be raised abroad, and most of them have to rely on those global financial giants.

In fact, on the one hand, there is an overall hostility between the East and the West. On the other hand, the government is worried about a large amount of capital outflow and will monitor the flow of large amounts of capital of enterprises. You can't see how beautiful Wang Wanda was in the beginning. Unfortunately, when he was stuck by the government bank, he had to sell huge assets to preserve the company.

In Li Feng's view, the super rich in China in future generations can actually acquire banks abroad and form their own banking and financial companies. After all, domestic banks are state-controlled. If there are banks abroad, it is very good for the company's global expansion.

With the merger of Northrop Grumman and Blackwater Raytheon, a new situation of American military company was born, which is different from the previous Loma family. Similarly, it opened a new situation for Li Feng in the United States.
