In the field of Internet, with the memory of his previous life, Henry has completely crushed other companies in terms of creativity.
He has more Internet companies that have not yet been set up, such as Facebook, LinkedIn, TripAdvisor, and so on. However, Henry has decided that if these websites are set up again, he will hold shares through overseas offshore companies!
Henry ordered people to secretly purchase six registered offshore companies in six places, namely, the British Virgin Islands, the Caymans, the Bahamas, the Seychelles, Bermuda and the Republic of Panama, with a total of 36 offshore companies. Each of these 36 companies together controls an Internet company. Even in the United States, it is very difficult to investigate!
After that, Henry asked these offshore companies to buy small Internet companies in Silicon Valley, and then changed their names. Henry first acquired four companies and changed their names to "facebook", "YouTube", "linkedln" and "triadvisor".
After that, the company acquired some talents, and Henry gave them his own design plan to complete!
This time, Henry wants to control these companies behind the scenes, otherwise he won't reveal his identity!
The wood is beautiful in the forest, and the wind will destroy it.
Henry thought that he was so good that he was enviable. It was time to make some changes. First, keep a low profile and don't stimulate others; The second is to do something stupid!
What stupid thing to do?
Burn money!
Henry immediately separated Williams laboratory from Williams electronics company, and then renamed it "Williams X" mysterious laboratory, ready to burn money!
It seems that the last name of a company with "X" is "X", such as Google x, SpaceX
Williams x mystery lab will be similar to Google x mystery lab, engaged in the development of high-tech in the future that shakes the world, but also stronger than Google, engaged in the research and development of nanotechnology, robot, artificial intelligence, solar energy, nuclear fission, nuclear fusion, driverless car, smart glasses, smart Watch, high altitude wireless network, space elevator and other technologies
Henry has more than 130 billion dollars on hand. After that, he is ready to cash out a lot of money from the stock market. How can he get hundreds of billions of dollars! So much money can support Henry's high-tech development.
It's OK to burn money, but not indiscriminately. The development of technology is a process of accumulation and gradual progress. Some projects will start after other technologies mature. Such as driverless cars, smart glasses, sky elevator
Henry listed nanotechnology, robotics, artificial intelligence, high-tech energy (solar energy, nuclear fission, nuclear fusion) as the first research echelon, which is the main research direction of Williams x mystery laboratory!
……
……
Now, Henry still wants to acquire Lockheed Martin, but it's not easy for the California consortium to let him out. Bank of America is the financial core of the California consortium, but in recent years, Bank of America has been gradually eroded by the Morgan consortium and the first Citigroup, and the control of the California consortium over bank of America is becoming weaker and weaker.
Therefore, this is Henry's breakthrough.
If you take a stake in Bank of America and help the California consortium regain control of Bank of America in exchange for buying Lockheed Martin, it should be very possible. Henry pondered for a moment. The only way is to exchange shares between Williams galaxy and Bank of America!
Williams bank is facing Citigroup galaxy and Morgan bank in the United States. It's time to find allies. The California consortium, which is also in California, is naturally the best choice. Henry could not help thinking that he would infiltrate the California financial group through Williams bank, nibble it step by step in the future, and finally use it for his own use, so as to establish his own Williams financial group!!!
What's more, Henry's main industry is in California, so it's hard to accommodate two tigers in one mountain, so sooner or later, Henry will swallow up the California consortium!
This time to acquire Lockheed Martin, it's better to enter the California consortium!
Henry thought of this, his eyes can not help but flash a ray of light, and then he picked up the phone to let people contact the California consortium!
A week later, Henry met with more than ten representatives of the California Consortium at Williams bank!
Henry smiles and says, "welcome to Williams bank, everyone."
"Mr. Williams, I heard that you are going to merge Williams bank with Bank of America. I don't know if this is true?" An old man, about 60 years old, stares at Henry like an eagle.
The old man is Brent Gus, CEO and President of Bank of America. He is an important senior member of the California consortium!
Henry looked at him, nodded and said, "yes, it's a plan." "Williams bank and Bank of America have been competing all the time, especially in California. The relationship between them is very tense, even resulting in vicious competition, resulting in losses for both sides. So I think that cooperation will benefit both sides! In addition, I can't stand the fact that the Morgan consortium and the first Citibank consortium are bossing Bank of America. Bank of America is the galaxy of California consortia, which is equivalent to the "territory" of the Western consortia. Why should their Eastern consortia intervene? "
"Williams, what do you mean..." Brent Gus asked, slightly stunned and uncertain.
"I mean it's simple!"
Henry said with a smile, "Williams bank and Bank of America get married, merge together, and then drive out the Morgan consortium and the first Citibank consortium!"
Henry glanced around and said faintly, "I think you also know that I have a lot of friction with Morgan and Citibank. We should be in the same camp. Besides, we are all in California. How can people in other states bully us?"
As soon as Henry finished, many people nodded.
Brent Gus made this eye contact with others, and then Brent Gus asked Henry, "do you have a specific merger plan?"
"Yes!" Henry nodded. "The market value of Bank of America is 120 billion dollars, and its total assets are close to 600 billion dollars. The market value of Williams bank is 80 billion US dollars, and its total assets are more than 450 billion US dollars. After the merger, the shares can be redistributed according to the market value
Brent Gus nodded slightly, then whispered to the others. Williams bank is a new bank, full of vitality, and the development potential of Williams bank is very fast, especially in online banking, with the largest number of online registered users. What Henry said about distribution according to market value is obviously more powerful for Bank of America. Other representatives of the California consortium discussed for a while and agreed to Henry's share distribution method.
Brent Gus then said to Henry, "Mr. Williams, after our discussion, we basically agree with your request!"
Henry said with a smile: "well, it's really great that bank of America can combine with Bank of Williams. It's of great significance! But now it's up to Citigroup and Morgan whether they agree or not! "
Brent Gus said with disdain: "now the Bank of America is still under the control of our California consortium!"
Henry has a smile on his face, but he has some disdain in his heart. The control of Bank of America is being gradually taken away by Morgan and first Citibank, and the California consortium still dares to speak hard... However, as he said, at this stage, the California consortium has more control over bank of America than the eastern consortium!
"Mr. Brent Gus, before Williams bank and Bank of America complete the merger plan, I have a small request!" At last, Henry was about to state another purpose of his own.
"What's the matter, you say!" Brent Gus said that as long as he can merge Williams bank, it's OK to promise Henry some small things!
"Well," Henry said, "I hear Lockheed is negotiating a merger with Martin Marietta. I mean, I'm paying for them!"
On hearing this, the faces of all the people present were a little unnatural.
Seeing this, Henry shrugged his shoulders and said, "if I can't buy Lockheed and Martin Marietta, then I have to ask the Morgan consortium if they are willing to sell their arms companies to me. Ha ha, anyway, they have many arms companies, including general electric company and general electric company General dynamics, Grumman, etc... "Henry pauses, then smiles at Brent Gus." do you think so, Mr. Brent Gus? "
