Rebirth

Chapter 583

After talking with Rumsfeld, the CEO of Heishui, Li Feng had a more detailed understanding of Heishui. Looking at the information in his hand, Li Feng also thought about it.

This is the details of Heishui and Raytheon. Today's Raytheon has reduced its core business by more than half compared to the prestigious Raytheon in the past.Yes, the scale of Thorism today is even slightly inferior to Heishui.

It was mainly intercepted by Li Feng. According to history, in 1997, whether it was the military department of Texas Instruments, the Hughes Aircraft Company and the Hughes Laboratory, it would be Raytheon’s cake, and it was eventually acquired and merged by Raytheon.

These two areas are precisely the most important departments of Raytheon in the future, including missile, satellite, and defense departments, which are the core departments and top priorities of Raytheon in the past.

After the merger, Heishui-Raytheon will become a large military industrial company with more than 50,000 employees. Similarly, there is also a cooperation plan for Li Feng’s media company to acquire some of the publishing and media-related businesses of Raytheon. .

If the two parties do not increase their capital, just after the merger of the company, Li Feng will hold almost 38% of the shares and become the veritable largest shareholder of Heishui-Raytheon. The entire Raytheon has more than 100 shareholders.

At the same time, Li Feng discovered the figures of the Roosevelt and Rockefeller families through understanding. According to the information gathered by the intelligence department, the two major families will be combined with the hands to be approximately 12-15%, that is to say, before Among the Raytheon companies, there are actually two major families, although not many.

This made Li Feng secretly surprised these old-fashioned families in his heart, and suddenly realized that these families that he had been hearing about in his previous life were only influential, and the rumors that financial resources were worse than Forbes' richest man began to doubt again.

...

Of course, Li Feng also has a back hand. For example, whether it is Goldman Sachs or Morgan Stanley, after helping to participate, they will eventually hold 3-5% of different shares. Then Li Feng will acquire it. This is already before. Secretly negotiated in private.

In addition to the apparently 12% stake, Li Feng will actually control more than 40% of the shares. If he is acquiring a little bit, he will hold the company. Therefore, Li Feng is increasingly looking forward to the merger.

After all, if you could secretly hold a company like this, then it would be a bullshit. In the U.S. Emperor, you can almost really go sideways like a crab.

Another point is that, as the Hughes Laboratory under Blackwater still has 49% of General Motors’ shares, the merged company General Electric will also become a shareholder, and GM abandons the Hughes Laboratory’s shares and becomes the entire Equivalent shares of the merged company.

Just as the merger between Heishui and Raytheon is in full swing, the news of the merger of the two companies has naturally caused a wide range of ripples in the industry. After all, it is reported to the Ministry of Defense and Congress. It is impossible not to cause a sensation, but most of them are in the industry. within.

Yes, these military-industrial mergers of the U.S. Empire are far inferior to the mergers of other companies, such as media groups, in terms of external influence.

Think about the merger of Boeing and McDonnell Douglas. The previous merger of Lockheed and Martin was a merger of tens of billions or even hundreds of billions. As a result, no news came out except those professionals.

...

As I said before, the US military industry companies are definitely underestimated. Think about the future generations including Google, Apple and other companies. Which of them has a market value of not 500 billion, 600 billion or even 800 billion, or 900 billion, such as Roxy DeMartin and Boeing are even less than 100 billion yuan, which is simply incredible.

The reason for this, as Li Feng learned more about Heishui, he also became clear about the way.

That’s right, many people don’t know that although these military-industrial companies are making money from the US Defense Department, and they are still very profitable, in fact, they can’t be seen in the company’s reports.

Well, for example, Heishui, Li Feng knows very well that dividends were distributed once in the first half of this year, and hundreds of millions of dollars were distributed, but these funds were quiet. For the sake of reasonable tax avoidance, the company showed on the report. Did not make much money at all.

It’s no wonder that military industry companies have performed so poorly on Wall Street. Your business is not making money. How can your market value be high. However, the fact is that the shareholders behind these military industry companies are making a lot of money. In fact, This can be regarded as the default unspoken rule.

Even the White House and the Pentagon do not want the performance of military enterprises to be exposed. After all, the exposure is not small in terms of the loss of personal benefits or the face of various external pressures.

Think about so many military budgets every year, if it is completely exposed, then it won't be a big trouble.

...

Li Feng’s past life often read online news, saying that the market value of Lockheed Martin is only tens of billions and less than 100 billion, while the domestic Penguin and Forty Thieves have a market value of 400 to 500 billion. That is not just a company. You can change to 4 or 5 Lockheed Martins.

Well, in terms of the value of the stock market, it looks like this is true, but everyone knows that even if you use 10 penguin shares, you can’t exchange 10 shares of Lockheed Martin.

If businesses can acquire at will, Lockheed Martin's market value of tens of billions would have been acquired not long ago, but unfortunately, no company dared to acquire it.

Similarly, Heishui-Raytheon will face this situation in the future. If you say that someone else spends tens of billions of dollars and wants to buy it, don't even think about it, that's a dream.

After all, after the merger, it means that a new super military giant-level enterprise is about to emerge in the U.S. Empire, and it is impossible for such a company to master the cutting-edge military technology of the U.S. to be acquired.Similarly, it also means that Li Feng will completely enter the door of the top power in the United States.

If it can operate for decades in the future, perhaps the U.S. emperor will rise to a top family such as Rockefeller, Morgan, DuPont, etc., and this is also Li Feng's goal in this life.

...

In the next three days, at the Century Building in Los Angeles, Li Feng and the Blackwater management including Rockefeller and Roosevelt family representatives gathered, and Raytheon shareholders and management also gathered here.

In fact, in terms of urgency, Raytheon hopes that the two companies can merge. The main reason is that Raytheon’s core business was intercepted by Li Feng. Faced with the frenzy of mergers of major military companies in the United States since the 1990s, Raytheon I feel increasingly that there is no core competitiveness.

On the contrary, the two major departments acquired by Blackwater have core competitiveness that leads the world, such as Hughes in the satellite and aerospace field and the military department of Texas Instruments, which is a leader in the missile and radar fields.

In the field of radar, except for Grumman, Blackwater is currently the strongest, and the rest even includes Lockheed Martin, etc., many later generations are familiar with names such as F15, 22 and other top aircraft, and the radar warning system above In fact, most of them use systems from the previous Texas Instruments, which is the current Blackwater, not to mention the leading advantage of Hughes in the aerospace field.

This is also the reason why Raytheon came to the door. People originally had plans to acquire and merge the two major businesses, but before they could do anything, Li Feng held the best advantage company in his hand and directly added shares to others. The cash replacement makes Raytheon very depressed.

What is coming is the final negotiations between Blackwater and Raytheon. After nearly a month of negotiations, the merger is coming to an end, and the spokespersons from all parties are finally on the stage.

Including Thor and the large shareholders behind the scenes of Heishui, it can be said to be a top gathering of the upper echelons of the United States.What retired generals, active generals, the Senate, and members of Congress gathered a lot of bigwigs from various parties, and it also opened up Li Feng's vision.

......

In this regard, Li Feng is still full of expectations.
