v2 Chapter 341: Ares Corporation

? May 30, 1995.

  

   Northrop Grumman headquarters.

  

   In the conference room, an old man in his sixties said loudly: "Lockheed Martin has initiated a merger request with us. What do you think?"

  

"I think it is possible. The technologies of the two companies can complement each other in many ways!" Green Noyce, the head of Northrop Grumman's weapons research department, was speaking. "Once the merger, the new company will be engaged in fighter research. It has a great competitive advantage in manufacturing!"

  

A middle-aged man in his forties nodded. He is eo Evan Church of Northrop Grumman: "Yes, I also think we should merge!" After speaking, he turned his head to look. To the old man who spoke to the beginning, "Mr. Green David, together we benefit from both. Lockheed Martin's technology is much better than ours. Combining with them, we will create a new era to lead the arms industry and climb the peak of future technology. !!!"

  

   "Well," Green David nodded and said lightly, "Merge is not impossible, how to merge is the key!"

  

   Evan Church nodded and said: "Yes, but please rest assured, Mr. Green David, we will strive for the best interests of Northrop Grumman!!"

  

  ...

  

   "Boss, Northrop Grumman has agreed to merge the two companies and is currently negotiating!" Smith said on the phone.

  

   Henry said: "It is best to acquire a wholly-owned investment, I plan to spend 25 billion US dollars!"

  

   "Understood! It's just that," Smithton paused and said, "The U.S. Department of Defense doesn't seem to agree with our merger plan!"

  

   "I know that, I will find a way!" Henry said in silence for a moment. "Just take care of the Northrop Grumman company!"

  

   "Okay, boss!"

  

   Henry frowned when he hung up.

  

   As expected. The two major U.S. arms companies were about to merge, and the Department of Defense immediately raised objections.

  

   Henry had to use his identity again to influence the US government. Immediately launched a force to lobby the U.S. Congress and the military. Countless officials who have benefited from Henry and are enjoying the benefits that Henry brought to them have helped Henry speak. After adding money to open the way, the Ministry of Defense soon appeared in agreement with Lockheed Martin and Northrop Grumman. The voice of the merger of the two companies!

  

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

  

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

  

   The opposition from the Ministry of National Defense gradually diminished!

  

  The influence of large consortia on the US government is enormous, and countless officials have unclear relations with the consortium. The consortium played a very important role in the annual presidential election! Whether it is campaign funds, contacts, channels, these presidential candidates have to rely on the power of the consortium!

  

   Actually. Since the election of legislators in each state, consortia and many companies have invested in these legislators. In the U.S., there are few congressmen who have not accepted investment from others...

  

   China’s voting rights, have you used it? Henry remembered that he had only used it once in his previous life, and when he was in junior high school, the teacher specified whom to choose...Even after finishing college in the future, he never exercised the right to vote as a citizen!

  

   The right to vote in the United States is real. However, large consortia and large companies can influence the voting rights of American citizens. It's like Henry sits on so many companies with millions of employees. He said he wanted to support XX, not to mention that all employees would support it, but most people would support it. If it radiates to family and friends, how big the number of votes will be! With this influence, shouldn't those officials who want to climb up to please Henry?

  

   The U.S. Congress and the Department of Defense finally compromised and agreed to the merger of Lockheed Martin and Northrop Grumman. It is only in 1995, and the two companies are not as strong as they were in 1997. Another point is that Lockheed Martin has been split by Henry, and the aerospace department has joined the company.

  

   At this time, Smith also brought good news to Henry: "Boss. Rothrop Grumman finally agreed to our merger, the price is 24.5 billion US dollars!"

  

   Henry nodded and replied: "Okay!"

  

   Since the collapse of the Soviet Union. The United States stopped the pace of arms competition. As a result, arms orders fell instantly. U.S. arms manufacturers didn't make much money. Later, until the "September 11 terrorist attack" occurred, the U.S. reinforced its arms development and manufacturing! Rothrop Grumman's total sales in 1994 were less than 9 billion U.S. dollars, and his profit was less than 1.45 billion U.S. dollars!

  

  Henry once sent Heishui elites to assassinate Ben~La~Deng, but he didn't expect that there was an underpass in his house, so he escaped. Since then, he has embarked on that path in history and established Al Qaeda! Due to the uncertain whereabouts, Heishui was difficult to track down for a while. In the end, in order not to reveal Heishui's identity, Henry had no choice but to bring Heishui's elite back.

  

   With the paranoid attitude of being hated by the United States, it is certain that there should be a similar "911 terrorist attack" in the future.

  

  Henry also has a headache about this. He is most worried that Ben~ pull~ the lights will hit the Williams Center in the future by flying a plane!

  

  ...

  

  Rosrop Grumman is also an asset of the California Consortium. At present, the California consortium is working on finance, minerals and oil, and requires huge funds, while Rothrop Grumman is not very profitable, plus it is Henry buying, and Henry is on the side of their California consortium. Naturally, he decided to sell the company. Moreover, the California consortium also controls many arms companies, such as Litton Industries...

  

   After Henry took the Rothrop Grumman company, he immediately embarked on the company's restructuring plan. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com

  

   Henry first merged the aerospace division of Rothrop Grumman into the company. It is now unceremonious to say that the company has become the world's best aerospace company. First, it acquired the aerospace department of Lockheed Martin and Hughes Aerospace and Communications, and now it is the aerospace department of Rothrop Grumman. The total number of employees is 24,000, and the technical strength is not inferior to the United States Nasa. NASA has only 18,000 employees, which is not as many as the company's employees. Moreover, the United States only gave Nasa more than 10 billion U.S. dollars in funding a year, and Henry’s funding for the company has exceeded 20 billion U.S. dollars...

  

   Sooner or later, the company will replace the status of NASA in the United States! !

  

After the merger of Rothrop Grumman and Lockheed Martin, Henry decided to give the new company a new name. Henry thought about it for a moment, patted his thigh, and said: "If you want to take it, just take a great name. It's called Ares Company!!"

  

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

  

   It is called Thor, let’s be called a God of War!
