Chapter 309 Acquisition of top aerospace companies

PS. Here is today's update, and by the way, I will pull a ticket for the 515 Fan Festival. Everyone has 8 tickets, and they will also get coins for voting. I beg everyone for your support and appreciation!

As for Bugatti, the most famous car in Henry's memory is the Bugatti Veyron. However, the car has not yet been designed. Henry injected $1 billion into Bugatti cars for development. After getting this huge sum, 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, and it is fresh to drive them.

At this time, the California consortium's Bank of America CEO Brent Gus finally replied to Henry, who 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, and it was best to unite with the California Consortium to fight against it, so how could they refuse!

However, Lockheed and Martin Marietta's prices are a bit high, totaling $40 billion.

Henry makes money easily, so $40 billion is nothing to him!

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

US military strength, Lockheed Martin accounted for a large proportion. Lockheed Martin products basically represent the most advanced weapons in America!

Henry did not bargain with the California consortium, $40 billion is $40 billion.

First, Williams Bank merged with Bank of America, and the new company was called "Williams Bank of America". Henry held 40% of the shares and became the largest shareholder of the bank. California held 27.5% of the shares, and several consortia in the east held a total of 23.5% of the shares. %. The rest of the shares are divided up by other investment institutions or companies.

The Eastern Consortium insists that it is unwilling to merge, but the influence of the California Consortium is still there. Finally passed the merger plan, and Williams Bank of America also became the largest bank in the United States, with a market value of 200 billion US dollars and total assets of up to trillions of US dollars! ! !

then. Henry completed the acquisition of 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 said: “The merger of Williams Galaxy and Bank of America is the largest bank merger ever in American history. New bank Williams Bank of America becomes the largest bank in the United States, of which Henry Williams personally holds a stake. 40%, becoming the largest shareholder. He is a well-deserved super tycoon in the global financial industry!”

"Technology. Finance legend Henry Williams is now the world's arms chief!"

"Henry Williams' space dream never stops. He founded SpaceX and now has acquired Lockheed and Martin Marietta!"

"The resources of the earth are getting more and more barren, and the hope of mankind is 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 was headquartered in Bethesda, Montgomery County, Maryland. At this time, the new company had a total of 165,000 employees and was the largest fighter jet manufacturer in the world. Controls the production and launch of all U.S. military satellites. In terms of missiles, it is also the main manufacturer of US ICBMs!

Originally, Lockheed was still producing civil aircraft before 1984, but it competed with McDonnell Douglas and lost both and lost money, so the civil aircraft project was cut off. Henry also doesn't plan to put Lockheed Martin back in producing commercial aircraft. There is a specialization in the art industry, and it is still focused on fighter jets, transport aircraft, and reconnaissance aircraft. Satellites, space shuttles, spaceships, rockets and missiles will do.

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

Henry will merge satellites, space shuttles, spacecraft and launch vehicles and other space project related departments into SpaceX, and Lockheed Martin will specialize in the production of arms and weapons in the future! However, the technologies of the two companies can be used with each other, and the two companies can also cooperate closely. Anyway, Henry is 100% owned.

Henry's main task for SpaceX is 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 earth's orbit. NASA originally envisaged that the space shuttle could reduce costs because of its reusability, without having to build a new launch vehicle for each mission. However, NASA did not expect that the manufacturing cost of the spacecraft is expensive, with each R\u0026D cost of 2 billion US dollars, and the safety factor is low. The launch cost exceeds 500 million US 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 mission has been forced to shrink significantly!

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

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

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

...

Henry then invested $20 billion and $10 billion in SpaceX and Lockheed Martin, respectively, to invest in technology research and development! At the same time, it also allows them to accelerate the pace of mergers and acquisitions. Which technology you fancy, which company you fancy, go directly, money is not a problem!

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

Now, Henry has set his sights on a company. To be precise, he has long coveted this company.

The company is called Hughes Aerospace and Communications!

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

Why is Hughes Aerospace and Communications so hung up?

Here, I have to mention a person's name - Howard Hughes, the most legendary figure in the United States (except for Henry, of course), the real Iron Man prototype! ! !

At the age of 18, he lost his parents and took over his father's company. At the age of 21, he became the chairman and director of a film company. At the age of 30, he set a world flight record of 567 kilometers per hour with a plane he designed. Flight record, it took 5 years to build a plane designed to carry 750 passengers to fly a mile. 45-year-old seclusion, is a 78% shareholder of Universal!

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

Stan Lee, the original author of the comic "Iron Man", once admitted that the characters in the comics are based on Howard Hughes, and Hughes Aerospace and Communications is the company established by Howard Hughes.

The world's first geostationary satellite is from Hughes Aerospace \u0026 Communications!

The world's first geostationary weather satellite is from Hughes Aerospace \u0026 Communications!

In June 1966, an American unmanned spacecraft landed on the moon for the first time, attracting worldwide attention. The maker of that spaceship was none other than Hughes Aerospace and Communications!

...

Countless number one honors belong to Hughes Aerospace and Communications Company, however, after Howard Hughes died, there was no heir and no heir. Subsequently, the Hughes Company began to decline and became a 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 have sold Hughes Aerospace and Communications to Raytheon and Boeing in the future.

SpaceX, despite annexing the Lockheed Martin aerospace division, is still not strong enough and must be stronger to accelerate the development of historical technology!

"I'm here, I'm going to change the world!" Henry has ambitions in his heart, he is not willing to be calm, he wants to make a feat of changing the world, he wants to make aerospace technology advance by leaps and bounds, and he wants to make the entire United States by himself. Impossible to do! (Reader: You are so good, why don’t you go to heaven? Henry: Don’t worry, one day you will go to heaven! The next chapter is at 11:30 at night…)

[515 is coming soon, I hope to continue to hit the 515 red envelope list, and by May 15th, the red envelope rain can give back to readers and publicity works. A piece is also love, it must be better! ](To be continued ~^~)
