Rebirth of Hong Kong 1981

   Chapter 738 Planning

   Those who do not plan for the world are not enough to plan for a while.

   Those who do not seek the overall situation are not enough to seek a field.

   Actually, Yang Chen doesn't understand the so-called overall situation, nor does he know in which direction the world will develop in a hundred years. He only understands what the world will look like in a few decades.

  In Asia, there is no foundation like the UK in developing countries, and no matter how rich he is, he will not be able to acquire a company like British Aerospace.

  Even if it is inland, in the field of aviation, it has concentrated the strength of the whole country, and it took decades to catch up with the western countries.

   And in the inland, the military field is all state-owned enterprises, private don’t say you have money, even if you have a background, it’s useless.

   As for the United States, unless Yang Chen is willing to change his nationality and become an authentic American, there is no chance at all.

  The field of military science and technology, in any country, is a highly classified and sensitive topic.

   This middle, really can not be measured by money.

   This time, the United Kingdom has implemented privatization reforms, regardless of whether large or small enterprises, military or civilian, important or unimportant, are all sold and sold.

   It can be said that this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and only once, if you really pass this village, there will be no such shop.

   This is the same as after the disintegration of the Soviet Union in the future, as long as you have money, people will dare to sell anything. There is only one chance. If you miss it, it will be difficult to find another opportunity.

   Now the Conservative Party, headed by Margaret Thatcher in the UK, has to increase its efforts to promote the privatization of British companies due to economic problems.

   Although these companies are in the loss-making stage for various reasons.

   However, we cannot deny that most of these companies in the UK are at the world's leading or world-class level. After the acquisition, there is no need to worry about anything other than sales.

   To be honest, there are many companies in the UK, and Yang Chen wants to acquire them all. Technology is priceless. No matter how rich you are, without the accumulation of background, the time it takes in the middle is not what most people can imagine.

   However, the British are not fools. They will definitely not let outsiders control too many important enterprises in their country, especially some monopoly enterprises.

   Therefore, he can only select the most promising and stable companies.

  Electricity and telecommunications, one is inseparable from industry and people's livelihood, and the other has great potential in the future. These two are more important and meaningful than banks.

   "After you go down, you start to work on the acquisition of British Aerospace. When bidding, you can directly talk to the British government.

  The shares they sell, we can pay in cash in one lump sum, if the British government thinks that our acquisition of British Aerospace is endangering British national security.

   You can clearly tell them that we can accept that they will break up British Aerospace, and that some things that involve sensitive research and production, we can give up. "

  Yuan Tianfan: "Split up British Aerospace?"

  Yuan Tianfan was a little surprised that Boss Yang came up with such a method, but this method is indeed feasible, and it is very simple and straightforward.

   However, if you want to split the British Aerospace Corporation, this idea may be difficult to realize, but as long as the military industrial enterprises reach a certain scale, they will inevitably develop in the direction of dual-use military and civilian.

  In the military field, if you want to maintain the leading technology, you must continue to research. The capital investment here is not a small amount. Selling arms alone, in non-war times, sellers are not so easy to find.

   The development of civilian products is an important direction for all military enterprises to open source, which can relieve the financial pressure of military enterprises to a large extent.

Yang Chen: "Of course, this is a last resort decision. Splitting up British Aerospace is actually beneficial to us. First, it can dispel their concerns. Second, after the split of British Aerospace, the market value will definitely increase. Substantially lower, and the cost of our acquisitions will naturally be lower.”

   "Judging from the current global situation, the confrontation between the US and the Soviet Union has, to a certain extent, restricted the initiation of large-scale wars. This is no longer the decades-old World War II. Once the US and the Soviet Union are involved, the world may be directly destroyed.

Both the United States and the Soviet Union understood this truth. Therefore, wars on the scale of World War I and World War II are obviously impossible to appear again.

   As for small-scale local wars, in the previous Falklands War, the British were reluctant to expand the scale of the war.

   From this point of view, as long as there are no accidents, the military in the UK will inevitably become a low-return industry in the future.

   The splitting of British Aerospace Corporation may cause British Aerospace Corporation to lose orders from the military, causing serious losses in the short term, but in the long run, it is also a burden to us. "

   Yang Chen really wanted to split up the British Aerospace Corporation. He really had no interest in the military field.

  The United Kingdom is not the United States. After the disintegration of the Soviet Union, the U.S. empire frequently launched wars for oil in the Middle East. In addition, the United States also has huge domestic demand. American military industrial enterprises do not worry about no orders, they have the opportunity to make money.

   But the UK is different. The UK does not have the strength to launch large-scale wars. Even small-scale wars rarely occur. At most, they are jointly led by EU countries to bully the Middle East and African countries.

There are no major wars, the scale of local wars is limited, and for external sales, British military enterprises have to compete with other EU countries, such as France and Germany. After the British Royal Fleet became history, these two European countries have almost opened up all-round development. competition.

   As a result, it is obviously impossible for the British military enterprises to develop well. With the advantage of maintaining the leading technology, the military enterprises have no debts, so they should laugh.

   Actually, even if he can't acquire the British Aerospace Corporation, Yang Chen is not afraid. If he loses this opportunity, he only needs to wait a few more years. When the Soviet Union disintegrates, he can completely realize his goals from the Soviet Union.

   In the previous life, after the disintegration of the Soviet Union, a large number of factories and scientific research institutions in the country closed down, many experts and professors in the field of military industry were unemployed, and their incomes dropped sharply.

   Especially in some cutting-edge industries, a large number of first-class engineers have come to a standstill, the economy of the entire country has collapsed, and there is no money for research and development projects.

   For a scientist, it is undoubtedly cruel to have no project to develop, especially for those scientists who are unemployed and unable to eat and clothe themselves. In order to survive, they have to accept olive branches from abroad.

   In which context, a large number of scientific and technological talents from the Soviet Union have flowed out, and Europe and the United States and other countries do not know how many top talents have been absorbed from it.

   From a long time ago, Yang Chen made up his mind that after the disintegration of the Soviet Union, he would use money to open the way and buy some of the scientists and research equipment he needed to add to his business empire.
