Silicon Valley

For more than a month, Henry acquired several Fortune 500 companies one after another, which shocked people all over the world and almost made them go crazy.

"I'm going, since when has the acquisition of a Fortune 500 company been as easy as drinking water?!!!"

The media reported the news of Henry's acquisition of the company one after another. As for other news, they were thrown aside. Like the civil strife in Madagascar, many media did not even mention it. Even the Iraqi issue was only reported by some US military media.

Henry's acquisitions have never stopped. On March 5, he spent 250 million US dollars to secretly acquire ZCorp of the United States. The company obtained the sole authorization from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 1995 and began to develop 3D printers. Needless to say, how powerful 3D printing technology is, it has great development potential, and it can even be said to be a technological revolution! At the end of November 2014, 3D printing technology was listed as the 25 best inventions of 2014 by Time magazine. In the future, perhaps anything can be manufactured by 3D printers, such as 3D printed artificial organs, 3D printed mechanical parts, 3D printed houses, 3D printed clothing, etc. This is simply a wonderful technology. At present, Henry does not want other companies to pay attention to 3D printing. He wants to quietly develop and obtain world-leading technology, so as to monopolize the future 3D printing market! ! !

As the world's first company specializing in the development of 3D printers, ZCorp is also a giant of 3D printing technology in the future. Therefore, there is no doubt that it has become Henry's acquisition target! Henry believes that with his own support, 3D printing technology will develop rapidly in the future and change the world! ! !

Henry originally planned to stay in the United States to acquire the company, but on March 10, the United Nations investigation team's investigation of Iraq ended, and it was stated again that no large-scale nuclear or biological weapons had been found! So, what should the United States say this time?

The United States said nothing, and directly declared war on Iraq.

This self-assertive behavior of the United States is simply ignoring the United Nations, regardless of whether the United Nations Security Council will authorize this war. To put it bluntly, the United Nations is just a useful decoration in front of the United States. When you want to use it, you can use it as a gun; when you don't use it, birds don't like it.

Three days later, the US government announced that 49 countries supported the military operation. But the only countries that actually participated in the war were the United States, the United Kingdom, Australia, and Poland. The Danish government declared war on Iraq and sent two warships to support the U.S. military. Little Japan, the dog leg of the United States, said it would provide logistical support.

The war was about to break out, and the total number of coalition forces headed by the United States was as high as 180,000, and they rushed to Iraq in a mighty manner.

At this time, internationally, many countries and organizations opposed this military action. Austria and many other countries claimed that the military action against Iraq had violated international law because it had not been authorized by the UN Security Council. Former Egyptian UN Secretary-General Boutros Ghali condemned the military action as a violation of the UN Charter. Austria, Switzerland and Iran have barred coalition warplanes from flying over their airspace, Turkey has barred U.S. forces from launching attacks on northern Iraq through its territory, and Saudi Arabia has barred U.S. missiles from attacking Iraq through its airspace.

The U.S. and British coalition forces launched large-scale air strikes and ground offensives code-named "Decapitation" and "Shock and Awe" into Iraq on March 20, 2003 (Iraq time). On this day, the overwhelming bombers flew over Iraq, and the missiles were like rain, falling densely from the city or port. After a few minutes, the whole city was in a mess! Subsequently, the coalition forces launched a strong ground attack, and Iraq's defense line was easily torn apart like paper...

Bush, who was far away in the United States, made a televised speech to the whole country at this time: "For justice, to maintain world peace, and to prevent the earth from being threatened by nuclear weapons. Today, the US war against Iraq officially begins! In front of the US-British coalition forces, Iraq's The military power is vulnerable, and we will make a quick decision to overthrow the evil Saddam regime as quickly as possible!!!”

At the same time, the Iraqi president also delivered a speech to the whole country at this time: "Hello tens of millions of Iraqi compatriots, I am Iraqi President Saddam Hussein. Our wealth has launched a fierce attack on our country. My fellow citizens, the war has begun, and we have no way out! Let us unite together and defeat the US and British coalition forces!"

"Long live Iraq!!!"

"Long live Iraq!!!"

"..."

The Iraq war came so fast, and Henry's founding of the country was imminent. At present, Blackwater has completely controlled the entire Madagascar, and the voice of making Henry the king of Madagascar began to spread among the people. Afterwards, this voice became louder and louder, and more and more Malagasy people supported it! Of course, Blackwater members "fan the flames" inside...

At this time, Henry flew to the UK in a private jet, preparing to persuade the British government to support him in Madagascar.

On the second day after the outbreak of the Iraq war, Henry came to London, England. Before coming, Henry let people out that he planned to make a major investment of hundreds or even hundreds of billions of dollars in the UK. When Henry arrived at London Airport, Queen Elizabeth II and the British Prime Minister greeted him personally at the airport.

"Duke of Cambridge, welcome to England!" British Prime Minister Spike Bob said with a slight smile at Henry.

"Hello, Prime Minister Spike Bob!"

Henry greeted them briefly and exchanged a few pleasantries, and then everyone drove to Buckingham Palace.

After a grand dinner, Spike Bob said: "Duke of Cambridge, I heard that you are coming to England this time, and you are planning to make a major investment!"

Henry smiled lightly, nodded, and replied: "Yes!" Henry didn't continue talking at this time, but picked up a glass of Lafite on the table and slowly tasted it, deliberately hanging Spike Bob's appetite.

Spike Bob was not impatient at all, and also picked up his glass to drink.

Henry thought to himself that the city of politicians is deep, and Spike Bob, as the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, must be unfathomable.

Henry didn't want to spend any time with him, feeling sad, so he said: "I plan to build the world's largest offshore wind power plant in the sea 89 kilometers away from the coast of Yorkshire. After the completion of this wind power plant, it can provide about 2.5 million to provide 'low carbon' electricity to households in the UK! The initial budget for this investment is around $10 billion! Also, "

Henry paused deliberately, glanced at Spike Bob, and saw a gleam of joy flashing across his face, so he continued: "Spike Bob, first of all, as we all know, Britain was the first country to carry out the industrial revolution. In the past, it was known as the 'Empire on which the sun never sets', and its influence was much stronger than that of the United States today. The key reason why Britain was so powerful at that time was that Britain had a powerful sea fleet.

As far as I know, in 1893, the British shipbuilding industry accounted for 80% of the global shipbuilding market. At the beginning of the last century, the British shipbuilding industry ushered in the peak of development. Many naval vessels such as the luxury cruise liner "Titanic", "Queen Mary" and the famous battleship "Intrepid" were once the pride of British shipyards. During World War II, the British shipbuilding industry flourished and once occupied half of the global ship market. However, in the 1950s, with the rise of Japan's shipbuilding industry, the British shipbuilding industry declined all the way. Since then, the shipbuilding industry has gradually moved eastward, and China, Japan and South Korea have successively dominated the international ship market, making the British shipbuilding industry powerless!

By around 2000, the share of the British shipbuilding industry in the global shipping market had been negligible, and more than 90% of the British shipyards had to go bankrupt! "

Henry looked into Spike Bob's eyes, and said in a low voice: "As the Duke of Cambridge in the UK, and I am also a British citizen, I can't help feeling sad when I think of the British shipbuilding industry in decline and never regaining its former glory. So ,I decided……"

Speaking of this, Henry paused again. Spike Bob had a look of urgency at the moment. Although his city is deep, but the shipbuilding industry is related to the strength of the British Navy, he finally couldn't help asking. : "Duke of Cambridge, what have you decided to do?!"

"I want to invest 100 billion U.S. dollars in the British shipbuilding industry and restore the former glory of the empire on which the sun never sets!!!" Henry said impassionedly.

Hearing this, Spike Bob was so excited that his face turned red.

"However, before investing, I have one or two questions I would like to ask Prime Minister Spike Bob. Can you answer them for me?" Henry said with a smile.

"As long as you are willing to invest, everything is fine." Spike Bob nodded.

Henry showed him a strange smile, and then asked, "Prime Minister Spike Bob, you must know that there was a civil strife in Madagascar a while ago, right?"

Spike Bob nodded: "Yes, I know."

"Now comes the problem!" Henry's tone changed, and he asked very solemnly, "The people of Madagascar want me to be their king, so Prime Minister Spike Bob, do you think I should be or should not be?" When? If I become the king of Madagascar, what will the attitude of the British government be?"

When Spike Bob heard this, his expression changed suddenly, and he stared deeply at Henry. There is no need to answer the previous questions, the last question is the key! Seeing Henry looking harmless and looking at himself with a smile on his face, Spike Bob thought about many issues in his mind. Obviously, since the other party asked this question, he actually wanted to be the king of Madagascar, and he was testing the attitude of himself and the British government. Although he just said that he wants to invest in the UK, if the British government is against it, then these two investments will be lost! Moreover, Henry Williams, as the richest man in the world, has unparalleled influence and resources, and his current industry in the UK alone cannot be underestimated. If I don't handle this matter well, it will definitely cause an economic earthquake in the UK!

It is unbelievable in today's society for private individuals to establish a country and still establish a monarchy to be the king. However, this happened to Henry Williams, at least one more possibility. His incomparable wealth, the fierce and huge Blackwater armed forces, etc., are enough to give him a chance of success.

Spike Bob carefully recalled in his mind any information that could connect Madagascar and Henry. When the countless pieces of information were integrated together, combined with what Henry had just said to him, Spike Bob's heart suddenly jumped Trembling, while he was shocked, he couldn't help feeling deeply terrified.

It turned out that Henry Williams had planned for Madagascar! ! !

Seeing that he had been thinking for a long time, Henry couldn't speak, so he forced him to ask: "Prime Minister Spike Bob, can you answer these two questions for me?"

Spike Bob took a deep look at Henry, and said: "I'm not sure about the attitude of the British government, but, as a personal attitude... I support you as the king of Madagascar!" In the future, Henry established the country in Madagascar. As far as Britain is concerned, there is not much loss, and he can also get a huge sum of money to develop the shipbuilding industry. In terms of losses, it is natural that the United States has the greatest loss, because Henry's money will be used to develop Madagascar! Weakening the strength of the United States is beneficial to Britain. From this point alone, Spike Bob still supports Henry's founding of the country. In addition, in terms of blood, Henry is of British blood, and he is also the Duke of Cambridge in the United Kingdom. So far, he has only one son and one daughter, both of whom are children of him and Princess Ulysses of the United Kingdom. Undoubtedly, the royal family of Madagascar will also have the blood of the British royal family in the future. In the future, if the throne of Madagascar is passed to Caesar, then it will be equivalent to the British royal blood ruling Madagascar! ! !

Thinking of this, Spike Bob was a little excited!

"Madagascar is a very poor island country. The people there live in hardship. They are willing to let me be the king. They respect me. I am naturally very happy. However, although I want to help the Malagasy people, other countries may not recognize me. Hearing that Prime Minister Spike Bob said he would support me tonight is undoubtedly the greatest encouragement to me!" Henry said earnestly and moved.

"Of course, if I establish a country in Madagascar, then I must be very willing to join the Commonwealth of Nations, because I am also British!!!"

Spike Bob smiled slightly and nodded at Henry.

That night, Spike Bob found Queen Elizabeth II of England, and told all the things that Henry had talked with him, and at the same time expressed his views. The Queen of England did not think too much when she heard the words. She agreed with Spike Bob's opinion very much, so she immediately expressed her willingness to support Henry's founding of the country.

"Your Majesty, then I will immediately convene a parliamentary discussion!"

"Well, but, it's best not to leak it!"

"OK, Got it!"

...

For the next two days, Henry wandered around London, and neither the British government nor the British royal family sent anyone to look for him. But Henry knew that they should be getting together to discuss the founding of their country at this moment. On the third day, the weather was clear and cloudless, and Queen Elizabeth II and Prime Minister Spike Bob came to Henry together again, and they were followed by a group of high-ranking British officials.

Henry led everyone into the villa, and then came to the hall, after everyone was seated. The Queen of England said: "The Duke of Cambridge, the British government will fully support your establishment of a country in Madagascar!"

When Henry heard this promise, he was so excited that he could no longer express it in words. He suppressed his emotions as much as possible, and acted more calmly, "Thank you for the support of the British government. I believe that Madagascar and the United Kingdom will be very good allies in the future!"
