Chapter 343

May 30, 1995.

Northrop Grumman headquarters.

In the conference room, an old man in his sixties said in a loud voice, "Lockheed Martin has already made a merger request to us. What do you think?"

"I think so. The technology of the two companies can complement each other in many ways!" "Once merged, the new company will have a great competitive advantage in aircraft research and manufacturing," said green Noyce, head of Northrop Grumman's weapons research department

A middle-aged man in his 40s nodded. He was Evan church, CEO of Northrop Grumman. "Yes, I think we should merge, too!" After that, he turned his head to the old man who started to talk, "Mr. Green David, we will cooperate with each other. Lockheed Martin's technology is much more powerful than ours. If we merge with them, we will create a new era - leading the arms industry and climbing the future technological peak!"

"Well," green David nodded and said faintly, "it's not impossible to merge. How to merge is the key!"

Evan church nodded, "yes, but don't worry, Mr. Green David. We'll fight for the best interests of Northrop Grumman!"

……

"Boss, Northrop Grumman has agreed to merge the two companies. They are in negotiation now!" Smith said on the phone.

"It's better to be a wholly owned acquisition," Henry said. "I'm going to pay 25 billion dollars."

"I understand! It's just that, "Smith said with a pause," the U.S. Department of defense seems to disagree with our acquisition plan! "

"I know that. I'll do something about it!" Henry was silent for a moment and said, "you're in charge of Northrop Grumman!"

"All right, boss!"

Henry frowned as he hung up.

Sure enough, the Department of defense immediately raised an objection to the merger of two large US arms companies.

At this time, Henry had to use his identity to influence the U.S. government again, and then mobilized forces to lobby the U.S. Congress and the military. Innumerable officials who have received Henry's benefits and are enjoying the benefits that Henry has brought to them speak for him one after another. In addition to money, the voice of agreeing to the merger of Lockheed Martin and Northrop Grumman soon appeared in the Department of defense!

The Internet and television media are also on Henry's side.

Henry manipulated public opinion to stand on his side, and the American people were fooled into expressing their support.

The opposition of the Ministry of defense is getting smaller and smaller!

The influence of large consortia on the U.S. government is huge, and countless officials are involved in unclear relations with the consortia. Every year in the presidential election, the consortium plays a very important role in it! Whether it's campaign funds or contacts, channels, these presidential candidates have to rely on the power of the consortium!

In fact, consortia and many companies have invested in each state's legislators since they were elected. In the United States, there are few Congressmen who have not accepted other people's investment

Have you ever used the right to vote in China? Henry remembers that he only used to vote once in his previous life, and when he was still in junior high school, his teacher appointed who to choose... Even after he finished college, he never exercised the right to vote!

The right to vote in the United States is real. But big consortia and big companies can influence the right of American citizens to vote. For example, Henry has so many companies with millions of employees. He said that he would support so and so, not to say that all employees would support it, but most people would support it. How many votes would be cast if it spread to families and friends! With this influence, can officials who want to climb up not please Henry?

The United States Congress and the Department of defense finally compromised and agreed to the merger of Lockheed Martin and Northrop Grumman. At present, it is only 1995, and the two companies are not as strong as they were in 1997. On the other hand, Lockheed Martin has been split by Henry, and the space division has joined SpaceX.

At this time, Smith also brought good news to Henry: "boss, rosrop groman finally agreed to our merger, the price is 24.5 billion dollars!"

Henry nodded back, "good!"

Since the collapse of the Soviet Union, the United States has stopped the pace of arms competition. As a result, arms orders fell instantly, and American arms manufacturers did not make much money. Later, until the "September 11 terrorist attacks", the United States strengthened the development and manufacture of arms again! In 1994, rosrop Gruman's total sales were less than $9 billion, and his profit was less than $1.45 billion!

Henry once sent Blackwater elite to assassinate Ben Ladeng, but he didn't expect that there was a secret passage in his house, so he ran away. Since then, he has embarked on the road in history, the establishment of Al Qaeda! Due to his uncertain whereabouts, Heishui was difficult to trace. Finally, in order not to expose the identity of Blackwater, Henry had no choice but to bring back the elite of Blackwater.

With Ben Lara's paranoid attitude of hating the United States, there must be something similar to the "9 / 11 terrorist attacks" in the future.

Henry also has a headache. He is most worried that Ben will crash Williams center in the future!

……

Rosrop groman is also an asset of the California consortium. At present, the California consortium is in the process of financing, mining and oil, and it needs huge funds. However, rosrop Grumman company doesn't make much money. In addition, Henry is the buyer, and Henry is on the side of the California consortium. Naturally, he decided to sell the company. What's more, the California consortium also controls many arms companies, such as Litton industries

After Henry took down rosrop Grumman, he immediately started the company's restructuring plan.

Henry first merged rosrop Grumman's space division into SpaceX. Now it's no shame to say that SpaceX has become the most powerful aerospace company in the world. First, it acquired the Aerospace Department of Lockheed Martin and Hughes aerospace and communications company, and now it is the Aerospace Department of rosrop Grumman, with a total of 24000 employees, and its technical strength is no less than that of NASA. NASA has only 18000 employees, not as many as SpaceX. What's more, the United States only gives NASA more than $10 billion a year, while Henry has given SpaceX more than $20 billion

Sooner or later, SpaceX will take the place of NASA!!!

After the merger of rosrop Grumman and Lockheed Martin, Henry decided to give the new company a new name. After a moment's thinking, Henry patted his thigh and said, "if you want to take a name, just call it ares!"

Henry knew that there was a large defense contractor in the United States called Raytheon.

It's called Thor. It's not too much to call it God of war!
