Chapter 443 Hughes Company

As the chairman of the company that was pushed to the front desk, Prince Welch and GM officially signed on behalf of Blackwater and GM respectively, and also represented the official change of hands between Hughes Aircraft Company and Hughes Laboratory.

The day after Hughes in New York got it, good news came from Los Angeles, and Texas Instruments finally agreed to Blackwater's acquisition request.

In this acquisition, Li Feng paid a 35% stake in each of the two companies. The real estate company's valuation reached 12.5 billion and the media group's valuation reached 15.5 billion.

Among them, the Hughes Company and the Hughes Laboratory sold 25% of the shares of the two companies plus 2 billion U.S. dollars. That is, in the form of a company valued at 7 billion U.S. dollars plus 2 billion in cash, the acquisition reached a scale of 9 billion U.S. dollars. Water acquired the entire Hughes Aircraft Company and 51% of the Hughes Laboratory, which was considered a relatively large corporate acquisition in this era.

Similarly, the military industry department of Texas Instruments made a one-time acquisition of 10% of the shares of the two companies plus 1.5 billion US dollars in cash, and reached an agreement for a total of 4.3 billion US dollars.

In addition to the 1.5 billion U.S. dollar acquisition scale reached before, the expansion of Blackwater was successfully completed with the company’s shares worth 9.8 billion U.S. dollars plus 5 billion U.S. dollars in cash, and a total of 14.8 billion acquisitions were successfully completed.

It's also a coincidence that the cash for the acquisition happened to be stuck above 5 billion U.S. dollars, allowing both old David and Roosevelt to put in their own funds.

What Li Feng didn't know was that, according to normal history, at the end of 1997, Raytheon directly acquired Hughes and half of the controlling shares of Hughes Laboratories through 9.5 billion US dollars.

In the future, the Hughes Laboratory will also introduce Boeing to become a super laboratory held by Raytheon, General Motors and Boeing.

In the competition with the two companies, the two conditions of Li Feng’s company shares and the priority of Feixun’s financing have paved the way for Heishui’s expansion, otherwise it would be a direct cash acquisition, which may lead to setbacks.

...

After that, Heishui was reorganized and established Heishui Group and its major subsidiaries. In addition to the infrastructure, training, and training departments established before, especially the reorganization.

Formed a military computer company, an electronic network system company (derived from the merger of the electronic system company acquired by Texas Instruments and Terry Danny Electronic System), military systems (based on Texas Instruments' military business such as radar, missiles, etc.), Blackwater-Hughes Aircraft Company.

Originally, Heishui was valued at 1 billion US dollars according to the previous valuation, and then the shares were re-divided. Li Feng once again firmly controlled Heishui’s controlling stake, reaching 23 shares.But before Prince and others, the total amount is less than 1 point.

Finally, under Li Feng’s proposal, when the company was reorganized, it took out 5 points of shares. In addition to the initial Prince shareholders who received a total of 2 points of shares, it also included several newly added shares. 1.5 points of shares, the remaining shares are ready to be used to recruit new powerful people.

Today, Li Feng's personal shares in Heishui are 20 points. After all, the few shares in real estate companies and media companies still have to be shown, and this is the result.

In fact, it has reached about 65, and the remaining shares are under the names of several funds, which is considered to be hidden. Rockefeller and Roosevelt each received almost 15% of the shares.

Heishui is also not a listed company, and there is no need to issue a communiqué. However, General Electric will issue an announcement, which can be regarded as an explanation to shareholders and the market. Therefore, Li Feng is not too confidential.

Two days later, Li Feng and his entourage returned to Los Angeles again. Prince once again served as the chairman of the company, and officially signed a contract with Texas Instruments on behalf of Heishui, and formally reached a new agreement.

At the same time, at the signing ceremony, Li Feng also saw George W. Bush. This time he was able to formally sign a contract with Texas Instruments. Bush and his family also helped Li Feng a lot. At the subsequent celebration reception, Li Feng But we had a good chat with him.

...

The acquisition was mainly concentrated in the military industry department. Therefore, it did not arouse heated discussion in the media. It was only an announcement on the homepage of General Electric's website.Except for those who are interested, ordinary people who care about a company announcement these years.

Similarly, after the formal completion, Li Feng Real Estate has only 53% of the shares left. Thanks to a series of acquisitions by the real estate company, Li Feng’s shares are actually far beyond imagination, even if it is divided by 35, it is still more than half. Media Group still has 44% of the shares.However, this time I was depressed for the three major banks. I said that I had a good loan. As a result, the acquisition was completed by adding the shares and the funds raised by the two major families.

In response to this situation, Li Feng directly replied: "If you are willing to lend me a loan, then lend me a loan. I don't have too much cash."

In the end, after negotiation between the parties, Li Feng borrowed an additional US$2 billion, which is considered to be another cooperation with the three major banks. As for the previous possible loan of 5 billion, I can only forget it.In this regard, Li Feng is really willing, as long as they are willing to lend, Li Feng really wants it.

Put all of this money into the stock market, technology stocks, or into the next Asian financial crisis. If you don't turn over a few times in two years, it is really bad, and I am really not afraid of loan debt.

After completing the expansion of Heishui, it can be said that Li Feng has really completed a leap forward in his career. After this, Li Feng can be said to have completely gained popularity and established a firm foothold at the top of the United States.

We must know that it is not possible for ordinary people to snatch such fat from Grumman and Raytheon. This time, Li Feng joined the Rockefeller family and the Roosevelt family to enter the military industry business in the upper level. There were waves of ripples.

...

After completing the company's expansion, Li Feng thought of the famous Hughes Company for the first time, and immediately thought of the idea of ​​going to see it. After all, Howard Hughes and Hughes Aircraft Company are one of the legends of American Emperor. .

The early aircraft company was the main aircraft supplier of the U.S. Empire during World War II at its most glorious time. Unfortunately, with the end of World War II, this large-scale aircraft company began to regress and finally turned to the helicopter business, which was later acquired. Eventually merged into Boeing.

Later, the Hughes Company established the aerospace department, but it has become the world's largest aerospace and aerospace communications company. That is to say, the original Hughes Company mainly includes two major departments.

One is Hughes Aircraft Company, and the other is Aerospace and Communication Company. Today's aircraft company no longer exists and has been completely merged into Boeing Company. Li Feng acquired its Aerospace Communication Company.Of course, there is also its core laboratory.

For the well-known Hughes company, Li Feng naturally feels a little impatient. Thinking about the popularity of Hughes Aerospace in the industry, these things can only be imagined by Li Feng in the past.

For example, artificial satellites, rockets, etc., these gadgets are also developed in China, and now their own company owns these gadgets, and it can be said that they are the top gadgets in the world.

Jokingly speaking, the capabilities of Hughes Aerospace Communications in aviation and aerospace are much higher than that of a country in China in artificial satellites and other fields. Now such a company has become its own. As one can imagine, Li Feng was excited.

...

Look at the achievements of Hughes Aerospace Communications: the world's first geosynchronous satellite launched in 1963, the world's first geosynchronous weather satellite launched in 1966, the Explorer 1 lunar landing module launched in 1966, 1978 Pioneer Venus probe, Galileo Jupiter probe.

At the same time, Hughes Aerospace and Communications Corporation has also manufactured a large number of military and civilian satellites.Nearly half of the world's artificial satellites are products of Hughes Aerospace and Communications.

Similarly, there are also laboratory achievements. The laboratory is mainly engaged in research in the fields of optics, electronics, systems, etc., which involves the onlookers of atoms, electrons, quantum worlds, electronic systems, information systems, communication systems, etc. In the field of science and technology, they are all at the forefront of science and technology in the world.

Especially in the field of laser research, it is one of the most important research institutes in the U.S., and is as famous as the Lincoln Institute.

The Hughes Aerospace Communications Company and the Hughes Laboratory are simply one of the pronouns of high technology, and it is exciting to think about it.
