Chapter 277

Jobs was so miserable that he didn't even know that someone had written his name on the notebook

On December 14, Clinton defeated his biggest rival, former US President George W. Bush, and was elected president of the United States. He will be sworn in on January 20 next year!

Henry sent a congratulatory message at the first time, congratulating him on his election as president of the United States.

On January 20, 1993, Henry was invited to the White House to attend Clinton's inauguration ceremony!

On the night after the ceremony, Henry had a long talk with Clinton.

Henry knew that in 1993, the design of the international space station would be completed, followed by the construction phase.

At that time, it will be necessary to launch rockets and spaceships frequently to transport construction materials to the international space station. If SpaceX company under Henry's name can win the list of the government, then the development speed of SpaceX company will be extremely fast!

This is a great opportunity!

If we seize this opportunity, we will be able to work closely with NASA and get their technical help to get super many orders. In addition, if the United States chooses SpaceX as a rocket company to transport materials, its publicity effect will be immediate!

SpaceX will immediately attract the attention of all countries!

When other participating countries or organizations need to send materials, they will definitely consider SpaceX.

The international space station program is an international cooperation program jointly promoted by six major international space agencies, namely the National Aeronautics and Space Administration of the United States, the space agency of the Russian Federation, the European Space Agency, the Japan Aerospace Research and development agency, the national space agency of Canada and the Brazilian space agency.

There are 16 countries or regional organizations participating in the plan, but it is criticized that China is excluded from the plan!

Such a huge international cooperation project, even excluding China, is not worthy of the name!

China has repeatedly applied to join the international space station project, but it has been rejected. What is the feeling of being isolated and excluded?

It's really hard!

In the end, China couldn't be more angry. It also built a space station on its own. But obviously, the international space station is led by the world's top two countries in space technology, the United States and Russia, and many countries cooperate with each other. It's better than China alone. I don't know where it is!!!

No matter how much money China spends to build its own space station, it can hardly catch up with the international space station!

The European Union and Russia have little opinion on China's joining the ISS, but the United States does not agree. If the United States does not agree, there will be no way for China to join.

In fact, China's aerospace technology is also world-class. It is not only a big Aerospace country, but also a powerful Aerospace country. It should join the international space station program.

Henry's influence in the United States is huge, but also penetrated many American departments. The children of many senior officials in the United States work in Henry's company, and they have some shares to take. Henry has used sugar coated shells to build a huge and complex spider web of hesitation. In this network, Henry is the core. His words can influence the decision-making of the American authorities!

Now, the president of the United States is supported by Henry. We can imagine how influential Henry is.

Perhaps, under Henry's lobbying, China can join the international space station.

If China can join the international space station program with Henry's help, it will be of great benefit to Henry.

Henry will win the favor of the Chinese people, and the company will not be impeded in China, but will not be hindered and criticized too much. For Henry, it's just talking, but the profit is huge.

Henry didn't talk to Clinton about China's joining the international space station tonight.

We have to wait for China to apply to join, and then we are rejected. Then Henry came out like a savior.

It's better to send charcoal in the snow than to add icing on the cake!

In this way, others can remember you well

Henry only talked to Clinton about SpaceX's desire to participate in the international space station project and be an excellent "Porter".

"SpaceX's launch vehicle is about to be developed successfully. President Clinton, how about SpaceX joining the international space station? The launch price of our carrier rocket is very low, less than 100 million US dollars, about 90 million US dollars.... "

There is an oil painting hanging in the office of the White House. The picture depicts the first president of the United States, George Washington, facing many soldiers after the war of independence, announcing to them that there is thunder and rain, and everyone can go home to farm

George Washington's forehead is very imposing, with one hand on his waist and the other hand on the cannon, just like Lao Tzu is the symbol of American spirit and will!

Clinton is obviously no match for George Washington.

He is sitting opposite the world's richest man, is the most influential person in the United States! He had to consider his words carefully.

"I can make it up for you. It depends on the decision of NASA." Clinton said.

"Well, I know that. Just say something nice for you. Anyway, you are also the president of the United States. They will give you some face!" Henry laughed.

Henry approached Clinton and whispered, "President Clinton, I want to buy Lockheed and strengthen SpaceX. Can you help me?"

what? Acquisition of Lockheed?!

Clinton's eyes suddenly widened.

Lockheed is not an ordinary company. It's an American Aerospace manufacturer, an American arms company, the world's largest defense contractor and the world's largest fighter manufacturer. It produces all kinds of fighters in a mess!!!

Anyone who dares to flaunt his might will send out a flying fleet to scare him to death!

Clinton was laughing bitterly.

Strengthen SpaceX? Er, SpaceX and Lockheed are not at the same level at all, OK? SpaceX is at best a small division of Lockheed

Of course, Clinton has no doubt that Henry has no money to buy Lockheed. He said that he wanted to buy Lockheed just to strengthen SpaceX, which is obviously an excuse. However, the acquisition of Lockheed is not a matter of money!

There are too many things involved!

"It's hard!" Clinton said

"I know," Henry said with a smile. "Otherwise, how could I come and ask you for help?"

Clinton immediately shook his head speechless, he thought for a moment, then said: "Lockheed has a very good relationship with the military, and I should not interfere too much. If you buy directly in the past, SpaceX company's strength, most of them will refuse you. Therefore, I suggest that after acquiring other companies and expanding SpaceX, we should implement the merger plan for Lockheed, and the success rate will be much higher! "

Henry nodded all he thought and asked, "do you have a good target?"

"Yes!" "You can buy Sikorsky Aircraft, an American aircraft and helicopter manufacturer," Clinton laughs

Clinton stopped for a moment and said with a faint smile: "the helicopter used by the president of the United States (Marine Corps No.1) has always used Sikorsky products, but I can help you match it up!"!!! You know, the president of the United States has always had a close relationship with Sikorsky. "

"All right!!" Henry nodded. "Then buy Sikorsky first!"

"After acquiring Sikorsky, let them make the same helicopter for the president of the United States!" Henry thought to himself.

Henry suddenly recalled that in 2015, Sikorsky's ultimate fate was to be acquired by Lockheed at a price of only US $8 billion. It is obviously not much money to acquire Sikorsky now.

After leaving the White House, Henry sent for an investigation into Sikorsky.

Sikorsky company has stopped the research and development of aircraft, and now only focuses on the manufacture of helicopters, with a total assets evaluation of 4.5 billion US dollars!

Without hesitation, Henry called Clinton directly to tell him that he would launch a formal acquisition of Sikorsky immediately. Henry has more than five billion dollars on hand, which is enough.
