Rebirth

"By the way, there is another news here. I don't know if you are interested?" After talking about CSCB, Wang Siqing suddenly smiled.

"Oh..., what?"

"Look, this is from Silicon Valley. It is an invitation letter for the second World Computer Expo held in Huaxia Capital. It was sent to YY's headquarters in China Xiangjiang, and it was also sent to the Silicon Valley Fetion Technology headquarters. .

Schmidt knew that you were more concerned about the situation in Huaxia, and asked if you were interested in participating, so he sent this invitation letter. Why, didn't he mention it to you at the previous reception?"Wang Siqing explained with a smile.

"The World Computer Expo is still in its second session. This name is really loud!" Li Feng laughed and joked after taking a look.

"..."

"Haha, take a look at the time, if you have time, you can just go around if you are bored."

"The time is March 24th, China Time, which happens to be the time for the Oscars ceremony here. Do you want to go?" Wang Siqing asked again.

"Well, you will remind me when the time comes. It depends on the situation. Whether it is the Oscar or the fair, you can go around and choose again when the time comes."

"OK, then I will mark it, and you can decide later."

"Well, so good!"

"..."

...

Two days later, Northrop Raytheon headquarters in San Diego, California.

"John, what do you think?" Rumsfeld smiled and asked Li Feng in the office of the chairman of the New Northrop-Thor Company headquarters in San Diego.

In the office, in addition to Ram, there are the former Northrop CEP, the current corporate vice president Kent, the former Litton company president, and the current vice president Hugh, who are all top leaders of the new company. They.

"This is a good proposal. To be honest, I always thought that the Newport News shipyard was already owned by Northrop Grumman. I didn't expect it to be. It seems we all wanted to go together! "Li Feng replied jokingly.

"Then you agree with our acquisition plan?" Kent Kleisa asked with a smile.

"I think it's good. If we can acquire it, we can naturally ensure our dominance in the shipbuilding field. Although the profit of the shipbuilding business is very low, the potential influence is huge. I just don't know if the Newport News shipyard is willing to sell it? "Li Feng replied with a smile.

"John, you just watched it. In 1996, the Newport News shipyard was spun off from the parent company and listed in New York. The market value was about 2 billion U.S. dollars. Advance in shipbuilding.

This is not the first time Newport Shipyard has developed towards commercial shipbuilding. Unfortunately, it has failed all the time and has had to lose a lot of money and huge losses.In our view, Newport is once again moving towards commercial shipbuilding, which also creates opportunities for our acquisition."Kent Kressa explained with a smile.

.....

"Oh…?"

Facing Li Feng's doubts, Kent Kressa immediately explained, and Li Feng understood the dilemma faced by Newport Shipyard.

According to ordinary people, the Newport Shipyard is known as the "cradle of the US military aircraft carrier and the world's number one shipyard". It should not be short of money, but in fact, the Newport Shipyard is really poor.

Yes, as the only super shipyard in the United States and even the world that can build nuclear-powered aircraft carriers and very few nuclear-powered submarines, according to ordinary people, it should be no bad money. After all, whether it is a nuclear-powered aircraft carrier or a submarine, it is super expensive. thing.

However, what outsiders don't know is that although the Newport News shipyard has never lacked orders, its profits are actually very low and even not profitable. For this reason, the shipyard owner-the Huntington family and the management are broken.

That’s right, the famous Newport News Shipyard, known as the “cradle of aircraft carriers and the world’s number one shipyard”, is a truly private and family-owned company. Of course, today’s shipyard has many shareholders, but Huntington The family still dominates.

At the beginning, in order to reduce the shipyard’s dependence on the Navy, Newport News Shipyard tried commercial shipbuilding in the 1970s, preparing to build a world-class luxury cruise ship. As a result, the ability of the old American shipyard to manufacture commercial ships is really open to question. , Coupled with the energy crisis at the time, the result was a natural failure and heavy losses.

...

Since the 1970s, Newport News has entered the field of commercial shipbuilding several times. The result has been repeated fiascos. In the end, the company was a bit unable to hold it. It was really out of money and had to be split from its parent company Tanick in 1996. Independent listing on the New York Stock Exchange.

Then the funds from the listing and financing are ready to enter the field of commercial ships. Well, the management and shareholders of Newport News are not convinced.

Although it is only the beginning of 1998, the history of the previous life has told us that Newport News still suffered heavy losses and ended in failure. For this reason, the final result was that in 2001, the US military giant Northrop Grumman received $2.6 billion in revenue.

Today's Northrop-Raytheon Company, due to the shipbuilding business of Northrop Grumman and the original Lytton Company, except for the nuclear-powered aircraft carrier of the US, the rest of the warships can be built, but in terms of aircraft carriers I have to say that the Newport News shipyard is a monopoly.

Because of this, Li Feng reacted at this time. If he wants to go around the aircraft carrier, although it is not too difficult, after all, his identity is indeed different now, but he is not as casual as he thought. , After all, your own company can't build an aircraft carrier.

"In other words, do you think Newport News Shipyard's next commercial ship plan will fail?" Li Feng came over at this time and asked with a smile.

"Haha... John, I think it is true. When this plan fails and finally ends in huge losses, it is the time for us to acquire Newport News Shipyard." Rumsfeld replied with a smile.

"Then you are now...?"

"Now, that is to say hello to you first, we can collect all aspects of the shipyard in private to prepare for possible future acquisitions."

...

Facing such super-managements with such far-reaching thoughts, what can Li Feng say? He can only say one thing in silence. I am waiting for the day when I set foot on my own shipyard to produce aircraft carriers.

Next, Li Feng had a good time in San Diego for a few days, visiting the people of the former Northrop Grumman company, such as museums and strictly confidential laboratories, which made Li Feng an eye-opener.

Fortunately, Raytheon has already learned from the past once before, so as not to make myself embarrassed.Faced with the world's leading technological military products, Li Feng was surprised, and he was also very proud.

Of course, Li Feng, who has long been interested, put forward the idea of ​​flying a plane.Well, in my previous life, I was used to those super business tycoons flying their own planes. Li Feng had already thought about it before. He had also trained many courses in Hughes Aircraft Company and Raytheon Aircraft Company before.

Li Feng plans to spare some time every year to think about what he can drive F22 in the future, and flying a few laps, it feels absolutely extraordinary.As for Li Feng's physical fitness.

Well, in terms of physical fitness, even the physical fitness of the world's number one pilot is not as good as Li Feng.

Li Feng still remembered that whether it was at Hughes Aircraft Company or Raytheon Aircraft Company before, the teachers who trained when they saw Li Feng's body test data were shocked and said that the physical fitness of their bosses can be said to be the world's best. the best.
