Rebirth of the Strongest Tycoon

   Chapter 1371 Military Industry! aviation! (Second, ask for monthly pass)

  In addition to the perfect implementation of the short oil futures layout, there are also results in other aspects.

  The British side.

  The Bright Fund competed for an 8% stake in British Gas, the largest natural gas energy company, at a cost of 448 million pounds.

  There is also a 12.5% ​​stake in British Aerospace, costing 825 million pounds.

British Aerospace Corporation is the largest aerospace company and the largest missile manufacturing company in the UK. It is mainly engaged in the development and production of military aircraft, civil aircraft, missiles, satellites, electronic equipment, instruments and test equipment, and related weapon systems. It has 19 domestic There are 4 aircraft factories and 4 missile and spacecraft factories.

   almost monopolized the development and production of British military aircraft, spacecraft and tactical missiles.

  In the civil field, it has also participated in the development and production of Airbus A300, A310, A320 and other models in cooperation with Western Europe.

  The last time, in 1981, the British government sold 51.57% of British Aerospace Corporation to private individuals, but that time, the Bright Fund did not get a share.

  Four years later, the strength of the Bright Fund has changed drastically, so in this privatization, it directly captured nearly a quarter of the equity sold this time!

  And the United States.

  Polaris Capital repelled General Motors strongly and used the gold dollar offensive to directly acquire Hughes Aircraft Company at a cost of US$5.2 billion!

  Hughes Aircraft Company was founded by Howard Hughes, the prototype of "Iron Man" in 1932. Under the control of Howard Hughes, the company was simply opened up.

The world’s first ruby ​​laser was created by the Hughes Laboratory. The Hughes Aircraft Company produced the world’s first synchronous communication satellite in 1963 and the world’s first synchronous weather satellite in 1966. That year, the Hughes Aircraft Company produced and launched the "Surveyor" probe after the Red Soviet Union to achieve a controlled soft landing on the moon.

In addition to being the top three satellite suppliers in the United States, Hughes Aircraft Company is also one of the main missile suppliers of the US Air Force. The fourth-generation air-to-air missiles of the US Air Force are also being developed by Hughes Aircraft Company.

  Unfortunately, the helicopter business of Hughes Aircraft Company was acquired by MacDonald Douglas for $500 million in 1984, and the Longbow Apache gunship was gone.

   But in reverse, if the Hughes Helicopter Division has not been sold, then there will only be more companies that want to snap up the Hughes Aircraft Company this time, and it is hard to say whether Polaris Capital can win it.

  The opportunity to have this opportunity is also thanks to Howard Hughes's death in 1976, leaving all the company's assets to his own Howard Hughes Medical Institute, because he has no children.

This time, the Howard Hughes Institute of Medical Research is to establish a more flexible biomedical research foundation, so it plans to sell the Hughes Aircraft Company into capital to facilitate the operation of the foundation and devote all of its attention to medical research. Among them, I do not want to be involved in the operating company.

  So, this opportunity is indeed extremely rare. If it weren't for the Howard Hughes Medical Institute wanted to sell it, no one else would take it away.

  On the Canadian side.

  Bombardier Group, with the support of the Canadian government, acquired the De Havilland Company (Canadian branch), which once belonged to Boeing, in Ontario, at a cost of US$450 million.

  De Havilland Canada was originally a branch established by British aircraft designer De Havilland in 1928, but it was later acquired by the Boeing Company of the United States, and finally sold by the Boeing Company.

   De Havilland’s most well-known airliner is the Trident airliner, but it lost to the Boeing 727 that year, and only 117 were produced in the end, of which the mainland has also bought many Trident airliners.

  Although De Havilland’s passenger aircraft manufacturing technology is inferior to Boeing, and it has been quite obsolete over the years, the foundation still remains.

Bombardier Group acquired De Havilland of Canada, and combined with the technology of the original Aviation Industry Corporation of Canada, it will have the strength to manufacture commercial airliners. Whether it can compete head-on with Boeing depends on how to continue to strengthen it. Researched and developed.

   But anyhow, with the completion of the acquisition of De Havilland, it has embarked on the road to hegemony.

The former Bombardier Group has developed very well, and Xia Yu also knows the rise of Bombardier Group’s road to mergers and acquisitions. The most critical are two companies, Learjet in Arizona, USA, and Short Brothers Aircraft in Northern Ireland, UK. .

  Complete the merger of these two companies, then business jets, regional passenger jets, aircraft structures and engineering services will be fully covered.

  ...

  There are also some key news, blockbuster news that can affect the industry structure.

  For example, the global semiconductor industry is a sunrise industry.

At the end of June, the American Semiconductor Industry Association (SIA) filed a lawsuit against the U.S. Trade Representative, stating that “the island country’s semiconductor industry has made abnormal equipment investments under the closed domestic market structure of the island country, and exported them at too low a price, destroying American semiconductors. The order of the industry".

  The American Semiconductor Industry Association requires that the share of American products in the island’s semiconductor market be increased, and measures should be taken to prevent low-price dumping.

  This news is very eye-catching on a global scale, and it has caused violent turmoil within the island country.

  Because at the end of June, island countries accounted for more than 70% of the global semiconductor memory market, and the United States was far behind.

  In 1975, the semiconductor memory market, island countries had just started, and the United States accounted for almost 100% of the global market share.

  In 1985, just ten years later, the island nation’s share of the semiconductor memory market reached 70%, while the US only had about 25%.

  Even in the entire semiconductor market, island-state enterprises surpassed the United States for the first time and became the world's number one!

  The US semiconductor industry is completely unable to compete in front of the competition.

  The island country is proud of this. Who knew that such a big crisis suddenly appeared.

  The reason why island countries are nervous is because the American Semiconductor Industry Association has concocted a very hot point this time-the weakening of the US semiconductor industry will bring major risks to national security.

  The logic is simple: because super weapon technology is inseparable from super electronic technology, and super electronic technology is inseparable from the latest semiconductor technology.

  If the US semiconductor technology lags behind, the US military will be forced to use foreign products, including island products, in key electronic components.

  Foreign sources of goods are unreliable. They will be out of stock in the United States during the war, and will also supply supplies to the US rival Hongsu during the non-war period.

  So, UU reading www.uukahnshu.com The United States allows the island nations to dominate the semiconductor chip field, which is tantamount to sacrificing national security...

  If an industry is striving for hegemony with the United States and the Soviet Union and has something to do with the national security of the United States, things are naturally big.

  ...

  At the end, Xia Yu noticed a news.

  This news came from the island country.

  The island country’s deputy prime minister and Minister of Finance Takejoto has already conducted a secret study on the appreciation of the yen. The pressure on this matter comes from the United States.

  Xia Yu instantly understood.

  This is the prelude to the "Plaza Accord"!

  He kept this in mind, and he also had a clear plan in his mind.

  Unexpectedly, he didn't need to give his deliberate instructions. The consortium had already noticed this matter in advance and reported it, which made him particularly gratified.

  PS: The second one is here, ask for monthly pass and recommended ticket!

  　 Thank you Lin Guangtou for the 4500 starting currency reward, thank you!
