v2 Chapter 383: The U.S. military don't force me

Apart from the Internet, the most thrilling stock price plunge was airlines.

Since the "9.11" incident broke out, the entire airlift has been suspended for 3 days. However, after the resumption of flights, due to the fright of the incident, the number of American Airlines' passengers shrank sharply in a short period of time. There was even a situation where there was only one passenger on a flight, enjoying the same treatment as a private jet.

It's so miserable, you can see it!

In the stock market, airline stock prices have plummeted to no less than that of Internet companies, but with fewer airlines, the total wealth cannot be reduced.

Now that the airlines are facing such a situation, what else is there to say.

Henry then ordered people to collect information about the airline. Although the private jet is very powerful, it is even more expensive to buy the entire airline!

Buying an airline has many effects.

The Ares Arms Company relies too much on military orders. Henry's relationship with the military is now very embarrassing, and the number of orders will decrease in the future. This is for sure.

The Ares Arms Company is only the world's most powerful fighter aircraft manufacturer. It uses military technology to transform it into civilian use. Naturally, there is no problem in producing passenger aircraft! When you buy an airline, you can produce and sell it yourself, and secondly, the airline will be very profitable in the future. The most important thing is that the Ares Arms Company re-enters the civilian aircraft market. Once it succeeds, it will be equivalent to the development of a new profit point. From now on, Ares Arms Company will no longer have to look at the face of the US military!

For this reason, Henry even considered destroying the merger of Boeing and McDonnell Douglas. Beginning last year, the world’s two major aviation manufacturing giants Boeing and McDonnell Douglas negotiated a merger plan. Once merged, the new Boeing will monopolize more than 65% of the global aircraft market. At first, Henry did not intend to bankrupt their merger plan, but who made the US military unhappy with him, the Ares Arms Company had to enter the field of civilian airliners in order to make money. Therefore, Boeing must not be allowed to become bigger and stronger and form a monopoly. Otherwise, how can there be any good fruits from the Ares Arms Company?

Only the more turbid the water in the field of civilian airliners, the more beneficial it will be for the Ares Arms Company.

The Ares Arms Company is also a last resort to enter the private airliner industry. If the U.S. government really does not give the Ares Arms Company an order, it would be embarrassing. Henry wants to move the entire company out. Which country welcomes it, he will go to which country! ! !

The world's most technologically advanced fighter aircraft manufacturer does not believe that no one wants it!

If the US government dares to treat itself badly, don't regret it in the future! ! !

...

At the end of September, Henry decided to acquire American Airlines. In this "9.11" incident, two American Airlines passenger planes collided and destroyed, causing the company to suffer heavy losses. Of course, American Airlines is one of the five largest airlines in the United States. Henry bought it because of its large scale and the easier-to-remember name of American Airlines.

Negotiations began soon, and the market value of American Airlines has now dropped to $2.8 billion, and its fleet consists of nearly 400 aircraft. American Airlines is located in more than 140 cities-including 80 cities and 25 countries in the United States. American Airlines has nearly 60 international routes, including important international cities such as London, Madrid, Sao Paulo, Tokyo and Shanghai!

The parent company of American Airlines is amr. After several bankruptcies, amr has suffered serious financial problems. In addition, the "9.11" incident has caused the airline to lose money. When Henry made a purchase request, he naturally agreed immediately.

The market value of American Airlines was originally 3.5 billion U.S. dollars, and Henry's price was 3 billion U.S. dollars, which is more than 200 million U.S. dollars higher than the current market value in the stock market. Everyone can tell that the U.S. aviation business will have a long period of loss. Many airlines are selling off, but no one buys it. Think about it, the stock market is so sluggish, everyone's wealth has shrunk, which rich man is willing to spend billions of dollars to buy an airline that will obviously lose money?

Soon, two weeks later, amr agreed to the terms of the acquisition.

The two parties signed the contract immediately.

As a result, Henry added another airline-American Airlines. In the future, if the private jet does not fly over, Henry can go to his own airline to fly, and by the way, he can also be an experience teacher to see if the first-class cabin is comfortable and whether the stewardess service is in place... If not, he needs to be trained and adjusted. ! !

At present, American Airlines is not too strong. Henry intends to take this opportunity to acquire a large number of airlines, strengthen its strength, and develop into the world's largest airline.

The stocks are still declining now, only a month or two, far from the end of the decline.

After the dot-com bubble burst, it was in a downturn for several years. Henry could wait for a while before buying shares.

At this time, Kailena has made every effort to prepare for the Asian financial turmoil, and Henry is also looking forward to this day.

With nothing to do, Henry played a game in the house.

Blizzard has released a new game "StarCraft", which was Henry's favorite when he was young in his previous life. Henry logged on to the Firefly game platform to download "StarCraft", and then entered the room to fight. Although the game screen is rough, it is very playable and interesting.

Because the game is extremely balanced, various tactics emerge one after another. "StarCraft" can be regarded as a super classic work in the real-time strategy competition category. Once released, the number of downloads on the day exceeded 10 million, and the number of game registration codes purchased was as high as 5 million, breaking the history of the game since its release. Blizzard has long become a legend in the pc game industry. Blizzard’s products must be high-quality products. Countless people look forward to the stars and the moon, and hope that Blizzard will release new games. However, the cheating Blizzard always skips tickets. But the more this is the case, the more itchy people are. On the day the game was released, I couldn’t help but play with it...

After playing it, I found that the game was too powerful, and I was instantly hooked!

Henry is also a veteran how to say, torturing these little cabbages, just like playing.

After playing for a while, it was boring.

Rookies, grow up quickly, it's boring to abuse food.

As soon as "StarCraft" came out, Henry immediately thought of setting up a wcg competition. The reason why games are not recognized by most parents is because they feel that games are playthings. If games can make money and games can exercise their brains, then they still don’t recognize games?

First of all, let people see the value of the game, and game competition is the best way to express it!

About the wcg competition~lightnovelpub.net~Heng used an email to send it to the Firefly Game Company, and the first wcg competition can be held by the end of the year. The final wcg champion can pk with myself, ha ha...

At around 7 o'clock every evening, Henry has developed the habit of reading the news. As history changes more and more, only by charging himself can he become stronger.

The U.S. Army is currently searching for bin Ladeng in Afghanistan, but after several months of searching, they found nothing. The remnants of al-Qaeda are only a few small shrimps. They don't know anything, and the entire al-Qaeda executives seem to disappear from the earth.

After searching for bin Ladeng to no avail, an official was furious and threatened in front of the TV: "Whoever dares to shield and hide bin Ladeng and al-Qaeda is against the U.S. military and is our American enemy!"

"Idiot!" Henry shook his head and cursed, "There is no more Ben La Deng in the world, there is only someone more terrifying than Ben La Deng-that's me!"
