Just stepped off the plane and greeted each other with Benjamin Arthur’s chief of staff, as well as the senators of the weapons review committee representing the interests of the major military industries in the United States.

Some of the reporters on the side could not wait to yell Li Changheng's name.

Then other reporters couldn't help but started asking questions loudly, wanting to know the inside story of the desert journey first-hand from his mouth.

Of course, Li Changheng would not talk nonsense on such occasions, beckoning to reporters who were blocked by security guards six or seven meters away.

I stood up straight and asked the reporter to take a few photos, and got on the special car specially sent by Benjamin Arthur.

The Army One of this era is not a bulletproof car produced by Cadillac, but a Lincoln.

From the outside, it is a square and elongated luxury sedan.

And just by looking at the thickness of the glass, you know that bulletproof technology should only be able to protect against pistols.

As for the bulletproof capability of the door, listening to the muffled sound of closing the door is not heavy, it makes Li Changheng doubt whether the bulletproof level can reach level 4.

It's no wonder that Lincoln will be replaced by Cadillac in the future, which makes Li Changheng regret not bringing his Rolls-Royce bulletproof car over.

The convoy drove for half an hour and drove directly into the Capitol.

Before getting out of the car, I saw from a distance the president of Boin, Brett Elman, the president of Grumman, and the bosses of several other weapons manufacturers, directly past several senators, with an anxious look. Welcomed up with an expression of expectation.

Don't guess, this group of weapons dealers must have deliberately released news from Sartre and learned that they have a weapon order worth 1.7 billion US dollars in their hands.

As soon as the car stopped, Payne and Brett squeezed away the others and stood by the car door one by one.

While helping Li Changheng open the door, he also thought about knowing the specific content of the order as soon as possible so that he could get the weapons he could produce as soon as possible.

Then take orders for weapons that they can't produce with other companies for profit exchange.

"Long time no see, BOSS."

Li Changheng, who got out of the car, smiled and shook hands with Payne. Then, without mentioning the order, he asked in a low voice, "Where is the development of Apache?"

Payne's eyes brightened when they heard it, and they didn't understand that Li Changheng had found a potential big customer for Apache.

And because Grumman used the engines and missiles produced by Boin for the F14 project, the two companies have been in close contact with each other over the past two years.

Apache Li Changheng personally put forward the design requirements, and is extremely optimistic about the project.

Therefore, in the one and a half years from the end of 1973 to the present, the two companies have not only worked together, but also invested more than US$100 million in research and development funds before receiving the Navy’s research and development funds.

"The first prototype has been built, just waiting to be tested. If you have time, we will arrange a test tomorrow."

Li Changheng nodded and saw General Motors, Thor, and the heads of Lockheed and Martin who had not merged at this time, all looked at him with an anxious expression, knowing that this is not a good time to say more.

Nodding to Payne and Bray, "The test flight is scheduled for tomorrow afternoon."

"Understood, BOSS."

GM was indeed controlled by Morgan for a period of time, but as GM became bigger and stronger in both military and civilian sectors, Morgan had to play down his sense of presence in GM.

Although Morgan Stanley still holds a lot of shares in GM, the two companies at this time can only use each other to help each other, rather than GM, which must be a subsidiary of Morgan Stanley.

As for Lockheed Martin and Thor, they were the same as Grumman. They were infiltrated and controlled by several consortia because they were relatively pure military-industrial groups and their market value was not high.

But everyone knows that Li Changheng is a shareholder of Boyin and Grumman. In addition, he has successively won the fighter market of England, the island country, Esule and Sartre on the F14 project, and his influence even exceeds that of Boyin and Grumman. Board of Directors.

Now with several arms orders from several desert countries, General Motors and several other companies are trying to please and win over Li Changheng, while worrying that he will make some excessive demands because of his discord with Damon.

In addition to the previous issue of the purchase of F14 and F15 in Iraq, many consortia forced to give up the fighter market of Iraq.

GM and other companies are also worried that if Li Changheng is angry, they will be excluded from the order directly, or the interests of several companies will be maximized.

It's a pity that several GM companies don't know at all. Li Changheng is eager for the F15, and even the F16, which is about to produce a prototype, will enter the Iraqilang.

Moreover, his goal this time is not the weapons market of a few companies such as Sartre, but the idle funds in the hands of these local tyrants, calculated in tens of billions or hundreds of billions.

Of course, he would definitely not talk about this topic.

On the contrary, you can use the orders in your hand, and more weapons orders in the future.

Go and talk to various consortia about whether Citigroup and Belford Investment Co., Ltd. can become the largest underwriters in the market with regard to the underwriting of subprime financial products.

It would be even better if you could, as an inventor, get an invention fee from major consortia including Citigroup.

But Li Changheng also knew that it was basically impossible to get the money.

According to the lawyers’ team, the new type of portfolio financial products cannot be patented ~lightnovelpub.net~ because the model of high-quality mortgages and subprime mortgages itself is taking advantage of the predecessors, so you really have to care about it. The entire Wall Street To pay patent fees for the inventors of premium loans and subprime loans.

However, if Belford Investments can become the first batch of underwriters, the market value of this company can definitely double, or even two or three times.

After the market value of investment companies has skyrocketed, even Citigroup shareholders will definitely want to buy shares in Belford.

And other consortia and investment banks will not watch Li Changheng eat meat alone.

At that time, Li Changheng's response is also very simple, on the condition that a part of the money is added to the shares of each company, and he will give up at least half of Belford's shares.

When Citi’s market value has risen by 8 billion again, reaching 24 billion U.S. dollars, I have the money to buy 2.5% of Citi’s shares again.

Like other consortiums, they continue to infiltrate the opponent's camp, allowing many consortia and big families to feel relieved to regard him as a member of the circle because of their own compromises.

"This is the first time we meet, Esther?"

Esther Duval didn't care about Lee Chang-hyung's tone at all, obviously with hints of arrogance and superiors to subordinates.

And before Li Changheng took the initiative to stretch out his hand, Esther folded his hands on his waist and said with a slight bow, "It's nice to meet you, Lord Selby."

Lee Chang-hyung laughed as soon as he heard the Lord. Although Esther had to bow his head for the order, he also vaguely expressed that it is not necessarily a good thing to be both the top status of the United States and England at the same time.

Thinking that the M1 design was provided by Chrysler, Li Changheng, who had always been small-minded, suddenly smiled and asked, "Can all 100 M1 main battle tanks be delivered to my customers within two years?"

"This,,."
