Rebirth

"Portsie Chen Qitai?" Li Feng confirmed again.

"BOSS, yes, it is Mr. Chen Qitai from Ports Group. He said he was going to visit in the afternoon and he said he had mentioned it to you."

"Oh... I met and chatted at the previous cocktail party. I didn't expect people to really care about it."

“Naturally, it’s my heart. The “Paris Spring Department Store” brand in China is still authorized by Spring Department Store, and Spring Department Store is also one of the major shareholders of the domestic “Paris Spring Department Store”. Now our acquisition of Spring Department Store is a foregone conclusion. Naturally, it is not surprising." Li Shanquan interrupted with a smile.

"That's fine. Bring people to my office when they arrive." Li Feng replied with a smile.

Back in the office, I chatted with Bill and Li Shanquan for a while. Wu Jianmin had already gone to London at this time and helped Li Feng to find the way first. As Wu Jianmin’s future President of Standard Chartered, Li Feng could not leave immediately. At the moment, he is very suitable.

After Bill and the two left, Li Feng sat on the big back and started turning on the computer and devoting himself to work. To be honest, if Li Feng was really busy at work, he would be too busy 24 hours a day. After all, there are so many big and small. The company is really busy, there are too many things.

I took a rough look at the briefings sent by major companies every day. I skipped some unimportant ones, and focused on a few more important briefings, such as the acquisitions of Spring Department Store and Standard Chartered Bank from Paris and London.

...

In addition to the recent acquisitions, there is also news from major companies on the U.S. side, especially Blackwater-Raytheon, which has negotiated with Northrop Grumman for three times and has basically merged the two companies. The affairs have formed a consensus, that is, the final group equity issue is still arguing with each other.

Once the two companies merge, there will be a military giant comparable to Lockheed Martin. Yes, after the merger of today's Blackwater Thor and Grumman, it will be a military giant that is by no means inferior to Lockheed Martin.

If Li Feng could control such a company, he would basically be able to walk sideways in the US empire.To be honest, seeing the news sent in the briefing, Li Feng's heart was still very moved, and he wished to fly back to the U.S. Emperor and participate in it personally. It was really too tempting.

Whether it is Blackwater Thor or Northrop Grumman, the strength of the two companies today is equivalent, even in terms of market value valuation. According to the briefing, it is ultimately based on Blackwater Thor and Northrop Grumman. Ropp Grumman's final merger plan is based on 1:1 shares.

Originally, Northrop Grumman was going to be better, but Hugh intervened before, and then Li Feng gave the order to directly acquire Hugh’s Litton Company. It was finally evened with Grumman. The last little gap in the door company.

Today's Blackwater Raytheon Company is no less inferior to Grumman in terms of profit and sales or all-round technical accumulation, and finally decided to merge directly according to the 1:1 share.

...

Although it has not been officially disclosed to the outside world, it has already had a huge influence within the upper echelons of the U.S. imperialism, and the politics of the U.S. imperialism have formed two factions.

One group is the military industry giants represented by Lockheed Martin and Boeing, but they are lobbying the US imperial government, hoping that the government will take measures to prevent the merger of Blackwater Raytheon Northrop.

There is no doubt that neither Boeing nor Lockheed Martin wants a new super military industry giant to emerge from within the U.S. This is clearly detrimental to both.

Naturally, Li Feng did not show any weakness, took rebuttal, and lobbyed the government.Among them, it is natural to initiate their respective relations, including those political figures of the US imperialism, some financial groups, etc. are all mixed in.

After all, with the influence of Lockheed Martin and Boeing, it is natural to start lobbying to have a huge influence. However, Li Feng is not to be outdone. Originally, the two companies are second only to Lockheed Martin and Boeing, and their influence is naturally not small.

What's more, Li Feng himself shouldn't be underestimated. Although the time of his rise is indeed a little short, it is too conspicuous to stand up, and he has also contacted a lot of big and big figures.

Including Rockefeller, Roosevelt, Bush family, etc., as well as Li Feng's sturdy ones including Hearst, Hilton, Gambling King Cork family, etc. Yes, Li Feng has connected several major families through his contacts. Help yourself.

More importantly, Li Feng got the support of the Zippertons. Li Feng had made several phone calls with the Zipper Bags couple before, and they had friendly exchanges about future contact with the Zipperton family. On the phone, there was a vague mention of the thing that made the name of the zipper come from.

As for the origin of the news, it was said that my media group had received the news and was rejected by myself when preparing the report. As for the information received, it was said that it was destroyed.

Well, as for what Zipper will think, Li Feng can't control it. For the merger of the two companies, Li Feng attaches great importance to it, and naturally has to use it in all aspects.As the saying goes, the county magistrate is not as good as the current one. Today, Zipperton is the president. With Zipperton’s support, Li Feng naturally has the upper hand.

...

If today’s Blackwater Thor has reached the top in missiles, satellites, electronic communications, and radar, then Northrop Grumman has reached the top in fighter jets, bombers, early warning aircraft, and warships.

For example, as far as fighter jets are concerned, although the current American imperialism is mostly led by Lockheed Martin's F16 and Boeing's McDonnell Douglas F15, as for the new century, it is the famous Lockheed Martin-F22.

But few people know that, in fact, Northrop Grumman’s fighter jets used to be comparable to Lockheed Martin. What a pity.

Later, as the F23 failed to compete with Lockheed Martin's F22 in the fourth-generation American fighter jet, Northrop Grumman completely abandoned its fighter jet business.However, the fighter jet developed by Northrop Grumman is still nostalgic.

Not to mention the early F6 Hellcats of World War II. The second-generation F5 Tiger fighters were aided in large numbers to American allies. The American carrier-based fighter F14 Tomcat was widely accepted by Tomcat’s “High Aspirations” starring Tom. Fans like it. Military fans who like F14 are called cat party.

The F20 fighter is an improved version of the F5 fighter. It was originally sold as the main force when the third-generation F16 was not allowed to be exported. Unfortunately, when the F16 was allowed to export, it was robbed of the market by the F16; the F18 fighter, the predecessor of the current naval carrier-based aircraft F18EF, is also Developed by Northrop Grumman and later sold to McDonnell Douglas.

The F23 stealth fighter developed by Northrop Grumman even competed with the F22 for fourth-generation orders from the United States. In the end, it fell short and lost to the famous F22 after the new century.

It can be seen that Northrop Grumman's strength in the field of fighter development may only be slightly inferior to Lockheed Martin.

...

In addition to fighter jets, the well-known B-2 strategic bomber is also one of Grumman’s signatures. The rest includes strategic reconnaissance aircraft, etc. Not to mention. In the field of aircraft development, Grumman is absolutely in the lead in the United States. status.

As for the final battleship, it goes without saying that Grumman is simply a standout among American imperialism in terms of battleships, and its subsidiary Newport Shipyard has produced all aircraft carriers since the beginning of World War II.

From York City-class aircraft carriers, enterprise-class aircraft carriers, Nimitz-class nuclear-powered aircraft carriers and finally Ford-class nuclear-powered aircraft carriers, this aircraft carrier is the dream of generations of China, and Grumman is only one company that almost represents the United States. The entire aircraft carrier level.

It can be said that after the merger of the two companies today, their strength is definitely beyond people's imagination. It is no less inferior to the giants of Lockheed Martin, and you can imagine its influence.

Calculated based on the current Li Feng's control of Heishui's shares in Raytheon, even after the merger, in the new company, Li Feng silently controls nearly 20% of the shares, and is definitely the largest shareholder. Naturally, Li Feng thought in his mind. The question is, can I increase my shares a bit.

In short, Li Feng is still very much looking forward to this.
