v2 Chapter 274: International Space Station

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

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

Henry sent a congratulatory message as soon as possible, 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 oath of office!

On the evening after the ceremony was completed, Henry had a long conversation with Clinton.

Henry knew that in 1993, the International Space Station would complete the design and then the construction phase.

At that time, it will be necessary to frequently launch rocket ships to transport construction materials to the International Space Station. If SpaceX under Henry's name can win the government's order, then SpaceX's development speed will be extremely fast!

This is a huge opportunity!

By seizing this opportunity, we can get close cooperation with NASA, and we can get their technical help and get a lot of orders. In addition, if the United States chooses SpaceX as a rocket company for transportation of 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 promoting SpaceX.

The International Space Station Program is an international cooperation program jointly promoted by six major international space agencies. The six space agencies are the US National Aeronautics and Space Administration, the Russian Federal Space Agency, the European Space Agency, the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency, and Canada. National Space Agency and Brazilian Space Agency.

There are 16 countries or regional organizations participating in the plan, but what is criticized is that the plan excludes China!

Such a huge international cooperation project that excludes China is a bit of a misnomer!

China has repeatedly applied to join the International Space Station project, but has been rejected, making it very embarrassing. What is this feeling of being isolated and excluded?

It is aggrieved!

China couldn't be mad at last. I also build a space station myself. but. Obviously, the International Space Station is led by two countries with the world's top aerospace technology, the United States and Russia. ! !

No matter how much money China spends to build its own space station, it is really hard to catch up with the International Space Station!

The European Union and Russia have little opinion on China's entry into the International Space Station. But the United States disagrees. If the United States disagrees, China will be gone. I can't join in anyway.

In fact, China's aerospace technology is also world-class, not only a major aerospace power. It is also a space power and should join the International Space Station program.

Henry's influence in the United States is huge. And it has penetrated many US departments. The children of many high-ranking officials in the United States work in Henry's company, and there are still some shares available. Henry has used sugar-coated cannonballs to construct a huge and complex hesitant spider web of relationships in this network. Henry is the core, and his words can influence the decisions of the US authorities!

right now. The President of the United States was backed by Henry. It is conceivable that Henry's influence was.

perhaps. Under Henry's lobbying, China can also join the International Space Station.

And if China can join the International Space Station program with Henry's help, then the benefits to Henry will be huge.

Henry will win the favor of the Chinese, and the company will not be said to be unimpeded in China, but it will not be hindered and criticized too much. For Henry, it's just a lip service, but the gains are huge.

Henry did not talk to Clinton tonight about China's entry into the International Space Station.

I had to wait for China to apply to join, and then I was rejected. Then Henry turned out like a savior.

Sending charcoal in the snow is better than icing on the cake!

In this way, others can remember you well...

Henry only talked to Clinton that SpaceX wanted to participate in the International Space Station program and could be an excellent "porter."

"SpaceX’s launch vehicle is about to be successfully developed. President Clinton, look, how about letting us, SpaceX, join the International Space Station program? The launch price of our launch vehicle is very low, less than 100 million U.S. dollars, about nine thousand. Ten thousand U.S. dollars……"

An oil painting hung in the White House’s event hall. The picture depicts that after the War of Independence, George Washington, the first President of the United States, faced many soldiers and announced to them that it was thundering, raining, and everyone can go home to farm... …

George Washington was very hungry, with one hand on his hips and the other on the cannon, as if Lao Tzu was a symbol of American spiritual will!

Clinton is clearly incomparable with George Washington.

Sitting across from him is the richest man in the world, the most influential man in America! He had to think carefully about his words.

"I can help you match up. The specifics depend on NASA's decision!" Clinton said.

"Well, I know that, you can just help and say something nice. After all, you are also the President of the United States, and they will give you a bit of face!" Henry chuckled.

Henry approached Clinton and said in a low voice: "President Clinton, I want to buy Lockheed and strengthen SpaceX. Look, can you help?"

what? Acquiring Lockheed Corporation? !

Clinton's eyes suddenly widened.

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

Who dared to show off his might, and released a flying fleet to scare him to death!

Clinton smiled bitterly at this time.

Enhance the strength of SpaceX? Uh, SpaceX and Lockheed are not in the same class at all, okay? SpaceX is at best a small division of Lockheed...

Of course, Clinton never doubted that Henry had no money to acquire Lockheed. He said that the acquisition of Lockheed was just to strengthen SpaceX, and this was obviously an excuse. However, the acquisition of Lockheed is not a question of acquisition with money!

There are too many things involved in this!

Clinton said: "It's difficult!!!"

"I know," Henry laughed. "Otherwise, why would I ask you for help?"

Clinton shook his head speechlessly. He thought for a while and then said: "The relationship between Lockheed and the military is very good, and I shouldn’t interfere too much. If you go directly to the acquisition, with SpaceX’s strength, most of them I will refuse you. So, I suggest that you first acquire other companies and grow SpaceX, and then implement a merger plan with Lockheed, the success rate will be much higher!"

Henry nodded all his thoughts and asked, "Do you have a good acquisition target?"

"Yes!" Clinton smiled. "You can go and buy Sikorsky Aircraft Company, which is an American manufacturer of aircraft and helicopters."

Clinton paused, "Haha" chuckled, and said: "The helicopter used by the President of the United States (Marine Corps One) has always been using Sikorsky products, but I can help you match it up!!! You know, The relationship between the President of the United States and Sikorsky has always been relatively close..."

"Okay!!!" Henry nodded and said~lightnovelpub.net~ Then buy Sikorsky first! "

"After acquiring Sikorsky, let them build themselves the same helicopter as the President of the United States!" Henry couldn't help but secretly thought.

Henry suddenly recalled that in his previous life, in 2015, Sikorsky's ultimate fate was to be acquired by Lockheed. The purchase price was only 8 billion US dollars. Obviously, it would not cost much to acquire it now.

After leaving the White House, Henry sent someone to investigate Sikorsky.

Sikorsky has stopped the research and development of aircraft, and now only focuses on the development of helicopters, with total assets estimated at 4.5 billion U.S. dollars!

Without hesitation, Henry directly called Clinton and told him that he would initiate a formal acquisition of Sikorsky immediately. Henry has more than 5 billion dollars on hand, which is quite enough.
