Rebirth

Chapter 588

No one expected that the arrival of the president of Grumman brought such a news.You must know that today's Blackwater Thor and Grumman are not small companies. In the US, they are second only to Lockheed Martin and Boeing.

If the merger is successful, the lieutenant general of the U.S. military industry company will give birth to a super giant that is not inferior to the two, and everyone will not be surprised.

"Kent, as far as I know, didn't you plan to merge with Lockheed Martin before, but it was rejected in the end. Do you think that if we merge, the Department of Defense and Congress will agree?

Besides, you should see that now Heishui has just merged with Thor, and many things have just begun to unfold. Now we talk about the merger again. Do you think this is the right time?"Rumsfeld replied with a serious face after correcting his face.

"Henry, I think you should also make it clear why our merger with Martin was rejected. Obviously, there are still some people in Congress who are unwilling to appear as a super giant to achieve monopoly.

Since the monopoly giants cannot emerge and the Congress says it is a national defense security consideration, don’t you think that the two giants are not as safe as the three giants?

As for whether the Pentagon and Congress can pass, I think this shouldn’t be a big problem. We are not companies like Boeing or Martin. Even after the merger, we barely reached the two largest scales. Look at the current ones. The company, which company is not crazy about acquisitions and mergers.

...

Besides, with the two of us taking action, with our contacts and communication, I think there should be no big problem in passing the Pentagon. In the end, we will compete in Congress. However, our opposition to the merger should be much smaller this time. We work together and I think the possibility of success exceeds 7 levels.

Henry, I want the merger to be a success. I think it will be very beneficial to both of us and even individuals. I think you should all understand this point."Kent Kressa explained to everyone.

Listening to the introduction of the arms tycoon, Kent, Li Feng really moved his mind. It is easier to pass the Pentagon’s approval. After all, Rumsfeld was also the Secretary of Defense, and the relationship between Li Feng and Zip Dun Not bad, plus the power behind him.

As for Congress, there will definitely be opposition, but with the joint efforts of Heishui and Grumman, the possibility of passing it is really quite high.

Another point is that according to the history of the previous life, before 2000, this was the last time for mergers and acquisitions. I don’t know if it was at the turn of the century. In the 1990s, the U.S. military industrial company set off a wave of mergers and acquisitions , And finally laid the 5 King Kong model later.I really missed this time. I don't know if there will be such an opportunity in the future.

The last point is that the two companies are really complementary. Grumman’s strengths are radar, naval shipbuilding, etc. Most of the US emperor’s aircraft carriers are built by Grumman, and you can imagine their strength.

In terms of radar, the current Blackwater Thor and Grumman are almost on par. After the merger, the world's leading position in radar will be established in one fell swoop.

Coupled with other business units including aircraft and aerospace, the combined company can indeed achieve the status of Lockheed Martin and Boeing.

...

After such consideration, Li Feng found that if he could really merge, the benefits of his development in the U.S. would be obvious. The temptation to become a major shareholder behind the scenes of companies like Lockheed Martin and Boeing would be too great.Although the shares may be reduced a lot after the merger, the benefits of being a major shareholder of a company of the size of Lockheed Martin and Boeing are too much.

Not only Li Feng, but also Rumsfeld, Kent Kreisa and others are thinking about what kind of energy will be contained in becoming the head of a bull fork company such as Lockheed Martin and Boeing. Saying this, the hearts of several big brothers are all about to move.

"Kent, are you sure that you have been authorized by the shareholders and the board of directors?" Li Feng finally confirmed after calming down.

"Naturally, we all have made it clear that this is of great benefit to both parties. Our advantageous projects can be complemented immediately, and it is very necessary to establish the leading position of certain projects in the world."

"According to the current strength of the two companies, to be honest, our Heishui Raytheon Company is temporarily inferior to Grumman Company. Do you have a merger plan?" Li Feng asked.

"We can consider the form of cash plus equity." Kent hesitated a little at this time and said slowly.

"Sure enough..." Hearing the answer from others, Li Feng said in his heart: "What kind of merger is this? It is clearly meant to acquire us."

...

I still remember that when Heishui merged with Thor, Li Feng wanted to use this strategy at the beginning, but it was a pity that Thor refused in the end.Li Feng finally considered that he still occupied a large number of shares in the new company and was the absolute majority shareholder, or he gave up his original idea and finally completed the direct merger plan.

Now Grumman is thinking of Li Feng at the beginning. This is really a feng shui turn. This time, others are thinking about their company.

Thinking about this, Li Feng couldn't help but look at Rumsfeld, who is now the head of the Blackwater-Thor Company. By coincidence, this big man also looked at him with a smile in his eyes.

Obviously, this big man also thought about the key points, and Li Feng's original plan, which simply coincides with Li Feng's original plan.

"Kent, you also know that we have just completed the merger here and are busy integrating the business. This cannot be decided at once, but I have a suggestion. You can listen to it. We can actually use cash and shares here. "Merging" Northrop Grumman in the form of "merger", I think the advantages for both parties actually outweigh the disadvantages, right?" At this time, Li Feng retorted with a smile.

"John, are you sure you are not joking?"

"Kent, you see, we really have money, you see, 10 billion, 20 billion or 30 billion, we can all consider." At this time, Li Feng held out his finger with a full smile. Road slowly.

...

There is no doubt that Li Feng’s ratio is very tough, and everyone around him can’t help but feel sluggish, especially when Li Feng gently shook his fingers and said lightly about 10 billion, 20 billion, or even 30 billion. The shock in the heart of this big man was even greater.

You know, Grumman is also a listed company. To be honest, the market value of today is really not good enough, only tens of billions of dollars. According to Li Feng's cash scale, it is indeed possible to initiate a takeover battle to acquire Grumman.

One of the most shocking is the future arms magnate Ronald Hugh, president of Lytton.

It turned out that Grumman had already considered acquiring Litton before, and even had contact with Hugh. Of course, Hugh has not talked to the board of directors, shareholders’ meeting, etc., after all, Grumman was also the president of Grumman before. Speaking of.

However, at this moment, seeing Li Feng pretending to be such a high-end force, Hugh had another thought. Since he is going to be acquired, why is only one Grumman company? It is completely possible to pull Heishui or Li Feng. Come in, can there be competition to sell high prices.

Well, if Li Feng knew, because his role in pretending to be so powerful, maybe he would have been pretending all over the world.

If Li Feng knew Hugh's thoughts, he must have a general feeling, it is indeed the most deadly invisible force.
