?PS. Present today’s update, and by the way, vote for the "Starting Point" 515 Fan Festival. Everyone has 8 votes. Voting will also give away starting points. I beg your support and appreciation!

As for the Bugatti Automobile Company, the most famous car in Henry's impression is the Bugatti Prestige. However, this car has not yet been designed. Henry invested US$1 billion in the development of Bugatti cars. After receiving this huge sum of money, the company recruited a large number of designers and engineers to design and develop Bugatti cars!

The Bugatti Veyron is also Henry's favorite car. Rolls-Royce and Bentley have been driving for a long time.

At this time, Brent Gus, CEO of Bank of America of the California Consortium, finally responded to Henry. He told Henry that the California Consortium finally agreed to sell Lockheed and Martin Marietta to Henry, but in Williams After the merger of Galaxy and Bank of America, Henry must stand on their side against the Eastern Consortium!

Henry was overjoyed when he received the news, and immediately agreed. The Eastern Consortium was originally its main competitor. It would be best to unite with the California Consortium to fight against it. How could it refuse!

However, Lockheed and Martin Marietta’s prices are a bit high, requiring a total of 40 billion U.S. dollars.

It is easy for Henry to make money, so $40 billion is nothing to him!

If the Lockheed Martin company after the merger of the two companies is sold to China, even if it costs an additional $10 billion, the Chinese government will buy it even if it sells iron!

American ** factual power, Lockheed Martin accounted for a large proportion. Lockheed Martin's products basically represent the most advanced weapons in the United States!

Henry did not bargain with the California consortium, 40 billion U.S. dollars is 40 billion U.S. dollars.

First, Williams Bank merged with Bank of America. The new company is called "Williams Bank of America". Henry holds 40% of the shares and becomes the largest shareholder of the bank. California holds 27.5%. Several consortia in the east hold a total of 23.5 shares. %. The remaining shares were divided by other investment institutions or companies.

The Eastern Consortium insisted on its unwillingness to merge, but the influence of the California Consortium was still there, and the merger plan was finally passed. And Williams Bank of America has also become the largest bank in the United States, with a market value of 200 billion U.S. dollars and total assets of up to one trillion U.S. dollars! ! !

Then Henry completed the acquisition of the two arms companies Lockheed and Martin Marietta to form Lockheed Martin.

And this series of big moves. Caused a huge sensation in the United States!

The American newspaper stated: "The merger of Williams Galaxy and Bank of America became the largest bank merger in American history. The new bank Williams Bank of America became the largest bank in the United States, in which Henry Williams personally held shares. 40%, become the largest shareholder, a well-deserved super tycoon in the global financial industry!"

"Technology, financial legend Henry Williams is now the world's arms leader!"

"Henry Williams' dream of aerospace never ceases. Before he founded SpaceX, he has now acquired Lockheed and Martin Marietta two aerospace airlines!"

"The earth's resources are becoming more and more barren. The hope of mankind lies in outer space. One day, Henry Williams will lead mankind out of the earth!"

"..."

After Henry completed the acquisition of Lockheed Martin, the new company is headquartered in Bethesda, Montgomery County, Maryland. At this time, the total number of employees in the new company was 165,000. It was the world's largest fighter jet manufacturer and controlled the production and launch of all military satellites in the United States. In terms of missiles, it is also the main manufacturer of American intercontinental missiles!

Originally, Lockheed was still producing commercial aircraft before 1984, but it competed with McDonnell Douglas, and both suffered losses and lost money. So the civil aviation aircraft project was cut off. Henry also did not intend to allow Lockheed Martin to re-produce civilian aircraft. There is a specialization in the technical industry, but I still focus on fighters, transport aircraft, and reconnaissance aircraft. Satellites, space shuttles, spacecraft, rockets and missiles will do.

However, Henry also has a space exploration technology SpaceX company, so under comprehensive consideration. Henry made a drastic reorganization of Lockheed Martin.

Henry merged the satellites, space shuttles, spacecrafts, and launch vehicles and other space project related departments into SpaceX, and Lockheed Martin will only be able to specialize in the production of munitions in the future! However, the two technologies can be used with each other, the two companies can also cooperate closely, anyway, Henry holds 100% of the shares.

The main task that Henry assigned to SpaceX was to study launch vehicles and satellites, followed by spacecraft, and finally the space shuttle.

The space shuttle is an aircraft that travels between the ground and the orbit of the earth. NASA originally envisioned that the space shuttle could be reused so that it could reduce costs, without having to build a new launch vehicle every time it performed a mission. However, NASA did not expect the spacecraft to be expensive to manufacture, with a research and development cost of 2 billion U.S. dollars, and the safety factor is low. The launch cost is more than 500 million U.S. dollars, which is much more expensive than the launch vehicle. In addition, the aging speed of the space shuttle is much faster than expected, and the flight mission is forced to shrink drastically!

In other words, the development of the space shuttle is a huge pit! However, technology accumulation is necessary. Once the technology is mature, perhaps the space shuttle can be used at low cost and is safe!

Manned spaceflight is not a dream, nor is it a dream to start a space tourism company. Technology is developing and it will be realized sooner or later...

Spaceships are used to fly between outer space to explore the mysteries of the universe and perform various tasks, such as mining, finding aliens and many other tasks!

...

Henry subsequently injected US$20 billion and US$10 billion into SpaceX and Lockheed Martin, respectively, to invest in technology research and development! At the same time, let them speed up the pace of mergers and acquisitions. Which technology and company are you looking for, go straight to it, money is not a problem!

In the previous life, Lockheed Martin did not stop after the merger, but has been merging other companies.

Now Henry has taken a fancy to a company. To be precise, he has already coveted this company.

This company is called Hughes Aerospace and Communications!

In 1995, Hughes Aerospace and Communications became the world’s largest satellite provider. In 2000, 40% of the world’s satellites in service were produced by Hughes. Boeing later acquired the Hughes Aerospace and Communications Company, which was able to compete with Lockheed Martin in the aerospace field, and Raytheon also acquired a part of the Hughes Aerospace and Communications Company, making it one of the top aerospace companies in the United States. .

Why does Hughes Aerospace and Communications Corporation hang so much?

Here, I have to mention a person's name-Howard Hughes, America's most legendary character (except Henry, of course), the true Iron Man prototype! ! !

He lost his parents at the age of 18 and took over his father's company. At the age of 21, he became the chairman and director of the film company. At the age of 30, he drove his own designed airplane to create a world flight record of 567 kilometers per hour. At the age of 32, he flew across America in 7 and a half hours. Flight record, after that, it took 5 years to build an airplane designed to carry 750 passengers and flew one mile. 45-year-old living in seclusion, is 78% of the controlling shareholder of Universal!

He is an American aviation engineer, entrepreneur, and film director. He is a genius who combines myth and weirdness!

Stan Lee, the original author of the comic "Iron Man", once said frankly that the characters in the comic were based on Howard Hughes, and Hughes Aerospace and Communications was the company established by Howard Hughes.

The world's first geostationary satellite is from Hughes Aerospace and Communications!

The world's first geosynchronous weather satellite is from Hughes Aerospace and Communications!

In June 1966, the U.S. unmanned spacecraft landed on the moon for the first time and attracted worldwide attention. The maker of that spaceship was no one else, it was made by Hughes Aerospace and Communications!

...

Numerous first glory belonged to Hughes Aerospace and Communications Corporation ~lightnovelpub.net~ However, after Howard Hughes died, he had no heirs or heirs. Subsequently, the Hughes company began to decline and became the sweet pastry in the eyes of countless people.

When Howard Hughes died, General Motors bought his company for $5 billion. In other words, if Henry wants to buy Hughes Aerospace and Communications, he must find General Motors. Fortunately, General Motors sells cars. Otherwise, it would not sell Hughes Aerospace and Communications to Raytheon and Boeing in the future.

Although SpaceX has annexed Lockheed Martin's aerospace department, it is still not strong enough. It must be stronger to accelerate the development of historical technology!

"When I come, I want to change the world!" Henry has ambitions in his heart. He is not willing to be calm. He wants to make a feat to change the world. He wants to make aerospace technology advance by leaps and bounds. He wants to make the entire United States by himself. Things that are difficult to accomplish! (Reader: Why don't you go to heaven if you are such a cow? Henry: Don't worry, you will go to heaven one day! The next chapter is 11:30 in the evening...)
