Rebirth

Before you know it, time has entered March.

On March 15th, the 5-star golf resort hotel in Malibu under Skyline Properties ceased operations two days ago, and it was booked by Blackwater Thor and Northrop Grumman.

In the past two days, big tycoons, political and business tycoons from all over the United States have gathered here one after another. That’s right, the merger between Blackwater Thor and Northrop Grumman has finally come to fruition. The agreement has even been signed in private, and it has to be announced and approved by the government and Congress.

At this time, in the presidential suite on the top floor of the hotel, Li Feng, several top management personnel of the Blackwater Raytheon Company, and a few closest partners all gathered to discuss and chat.

"John, will you sign in person or do I sign on behalf of the company?" Rumsfeld asked Li Feng jokingly.

"Ram, let me forget it. You should sign on behalf of the company. You are the CEO of the company, aren't you?" Li Feng replied indifferently with a wine glass and shrugged to everyone.

"Hi... John, you are not like a young man at all!"

"I was praised by you at that time. If I look like a young man, I might not have the achievements I have now. The Chinese people have a saying, "If there is gain, there will be loss." Without a perfect life, I feel very The reason is that you have achieved career success, but lost the vitality of childhood and youth." Li Feng replied with a little bit of pretense, which aroused everyone's jokes.

"Yes, then, as the master behind the U.S. super military enterprise, do you have new instructions for the new company?" David Rockefeller, an old guy, also smiled and joked at this time.

"I am a controller, and I can't control it!" Li Feng replied with a smile.

"I rely on... John, you still want to directly control the new company, you are really big!" Hearing Li Feng's awkward words and expressions, Kenny couldn't help shouting.

"..."

...

Think about it, for example, for companies like Lockheed Martin and Boeing, the government will not allow individuals to hold holdings. Even if you hide wealth or something, it will be difficult to directly hold holdings in the end, mainly because the competition for shares is too fierce.

Now that Li Feng has so many shares in the new company, it is still thanks to the merger trend in recent years that Li Feng can buy directly if he has money. If the companies merge directly with each other, it will lead to the company’s The shares are even more dispersed.

The merger of the two companies is actually said that Blackwater Thor is more suitable for Northrop Grumman’s merger. It just so happens that the US economy is booming, and Northrop Grumman’s shareholders are , And some people intend to sell part of the shares.

There is also the merger wave of large American military companies that formed in the 1990s, which made Northrop Grumman not mind the merger. After all, Northrop Grumman wanted to merge with Lockheed Martin before, saying yes. The merger is actually acquired by Lockheed Martin.

It is a pity that both companies have signed contracts, waiting for the government and Congress to approve them. However, due to anti-monopoly reasons, they were eventually rejected by the government. The next best thing is to find the newly merged Blackwater Raytheon Company, which is cheaper. Li Feng gave Li Feng a chance.

In this merger, Blackwater Thor's offer for Northrop Grumman was a total of 26 billion U.S. dollars before the official transaction was completed. This is naturally a premium. Now the market value of the two companies is almost the same, at about 20 billion U.S. dollars.

Speaking of which, Heishui Raytheon is the first listed company under Li Feng. Previously, because Raytheon was a listed company, Heishui Raytheon became a listed company. Before this merger, Heishui Raytheon and Northrop Grumman's revenue is also comparable.

Last year, the revenue of the entire Blackwater Raytheon was about 8.5 billion U.S. dollars, and Northrop’s revenue was about 9 billion U.S. dollars. It was finally determined that it was merged in the form of half-valuation.

...

In the original history, Northrop is still stronger than Raytheon, and is known as the third pole after Lockheed Martin and Boeing in the United States.

However, due to Li Feng’s intervention in this life, Heishui and TRW, Litton and other military companies have been merged directly. As a result, the Heishui Raytheon Company in this life is definitely stronger than the Raytheon Company in the previous life and can be comparable to Northrop. It's comparable.

A total of 26 billion U.S. dollars in quotation, Li Feng privately has to assume 10.4 billion U.S. dollars in cash, plus the approximately 44% of the shares previously held in Blackwater Thor, after the merger, it will occupy almost 42% of the shares of the new company, absolutely The largest shareholder may even have unlimited possibilities for holding in the future.

Li Feng is willing to spend more money and want more shares, even if others don’t know how many shares Li Feng has, it’s a pity that no one wants to let Li Feng get more shares, Northrop Grumman The company is willing to sell 40% of its shares in cash at most, and the rest are counted as new company shares.

Of course, on the bright side, now Li Feng only occupies about 6% of the shares, and the rest are led by funds. Each fund occupies less than 1% of the shares. There are only 40 of these funds. It's really cumbersome.

The 10.4 billion US dollars are temporarily backed by the four major companies of Wells Fargo, Citi, America, and Li Feng’s Standard Chartered. Li Feng privately reached an agreement with the four major banks to pledge 20% of the new company’s shares, which is a sum of 2 A loan of one year.

As for the method of repayment between Li Feng and the four major banks, even if it is tax evasion and tax avoidance, Li Feng will pay a total of 30% of interest after the expiration date. That is to say, the amount of 104 US dollars will wait until 2 Years later, Li Feng had to pay someone a sum of up to 13.52 billion US dollars.

...

If compared with the normal loan interest rate of the Bank of America, this interest rate is obviously too high. This is simply a loan shark, but these funds are directly traded outside the United States, and several major banks also put this money directly in the United States. On accounts other than the emperor, after all, if you transfer back to the emperor, you need to pay taxes.

Besides, global banks like Citigroup and Wells Fargo also need a large amount of foreign funds to facilitate international transactions, transfers and investments. Both parties avoid high taxes. Whether for Li Feng or the major banks, Both are very cost-effective transactions, achieving a win-win situation.

Otherwise, why later generations always broke that a bank was punished with huge fines by the government for tax evasion or participating in company's illegal transactions. In fact, all the funds outside were placed in this form.

Strictly speaking, this type of transaction between Li Feng and major banks is obviously illegal.However, obviously, no one will explain directly, and it will become an invisible rule.

Similarly, this can also be seen how important it is to have a world-wide bank. Banks are the foundation of a world-wide consortium. No matter where they go, they cannot do without the support of banks. No wonder Wall Street can control the global economy.

I have to say that Li Feng now barely makes up for the shortcomings. The acquisition of Standard Chartered and Standard Bank is generally too cost-effective.

......

This is also one of the reasons why, for example, it is so difficult for China's domestic companies to acquire foreign companies, but it is so easy for those large global companies to acquire them. These large companies have large amounts of funds outside and can use them anytime, anywhere. Use without worrying about government investigations.

Many companies in China in later generations have participated in global acquisitions, but in the process of acquisitions, it is clear that domestic companies have a lot of cash, but often funds must be raised outside, and most of them have to rely on those world financial giants. They.

In fact, on the one hand, there is a general hostility between the East and the West. On the other hand, the government is worried about the outflow of a large amount of capital and will monitor the flow of large amounts of capital from the enterprise. You don’t see how successful Wang Wanda was at the beginning, but unfortunately, With a card from a government bank, he had to sell a huge amount of assets to protect the company.

In Li Feng’s view, the super-rich Chinese in later generations can actually purchase banks abroad and form their own banking and financial companies. After all, domestic banks are all state-controlled. If there are banks abroad, it will be important to the company’s global presence. Expansion is very beneficial.

With the merger of Northrop Grumman and Blackwater Raytheon, a new American military company, which is different from the previous Loma family, was born.Similarly, it opened up a brand new situation for Li Feng in the United States.
