Rebirth

For this acquisition and merger of Northrop Grumman, Li Feng is really satisfied, although the cost is a bit high, after all, it costs more than 13 billion US dollars in cash. Northrop Grumman's market value is less than 20 billion.

Yes, although it is said to be the third pole of the U.S. Emperor, second only to Boeing and Lockheed Martin, the market value is less than 20 billion. This made Li Feng resounded the news that he saw on the Internet in his previous life, saying that the market value of Penguin was US$4.5 trillion , You can buy 4 or 5 Lockheed Martin and 2 or 3 Boeing.

Well, if you just look at the stock market, that's really the case, but as long as it is clear to everyone, the account is not calculated like that.

After the company merges, firstly the two companies need to be temporarily delisted, and then re-listed after reintegration. Yes, the new company still has to go public. This is the premise of agreeing to the merger. Neither the shareholders behind the scenes nor the government Allow companies to be privatized.

In fact, whether it is Lockheed Martin or Boeing, including the original Thor, Northrop Grumman and other companies, there are government-controlled forces in them, including various national funds, but they occupy relatively few shares. At 10%, this can be regarded as an alternative'state-owned enterprise' with American imperial characteristics.

After the merger, the new company is expected to be a company within the top 300 of the new Fortune 500, with a total of more than 120,000 employees, which is almost even worse than the 190,000 of Lockheed Martin today.In 1997-98, Lockheed Martin had nearly 190,000 employees, but later generations have been declining.

In fact, it is also conceivable that with the continuous development of science and technology in the future, high-tech talents are concentrated, and many positions are released, leading to the fact that the military industry giants of the United States will continue to reduce their employees in the future.

...

The peak of the employees of the military industry giants was actually around 2000, and they would face a large number of layoffs every year.It seems that around 2000, Lockheed Martin has 200,000 employees, which is really crazy.

The former Northrop Grumman company had more than 120,000 employees at its peak around 2000, including Raytheon, which had nearly 100,000 employees at its peak. Now, Li Feng knows that before the merger, the two companies’ The number of employees is basically the same, all around 60,000.

"So let's do it, time is almost up, let's all go down."

Before signing the contract, I gathered and chatted for a while. Seeing that the time was almost up, Li Feng smiled and said to the people in the room.

"OK, it is true, everyone should be almost there." Rumsfeld also replied with a smile.

"John, I heard that you called a lot of Hollywood stars, who are they here?" Kenny joked about Li Feng with a special smile at this time.

"..."

"Haha..."

Kenny's stubborn expression was a man who knew what it meant, and when he saw Li Feng's speechless expression, everyone present couldn't help laughing.

...

Today’s cocktail party is definitely a super cocktail party for American imperialism. Big figures from both political and business circles gather, from the California government's two-session Senate to state government officials to the military and political generals in Washington, the Senate, etc., and even White House representatives.

As for business tycoons, they gathered together, from the helms of major military and industrial enterprises and behind-the-scenes shareholder families to Li Feng’s Century series of companies, from California business tycoons to business leaders from all over the United States, etc., in today’s cocktail party. Everything.

As for today’s Hollywood stars, they are just for fun.

"Little John, you finally showed up!"

When Li Feng and his party left the elevator and walked into the lobby, it happened that Li Feng saw the old Barron, the helm of the Hilton family, together with the old man William Randolph Hirst of the Hirst family and the juniors of the two families. Lun greeted Li Feng directly.

"Barron, William, welcome your arrival and have a good time!" Li Feng also smiled and walked forward to hug the two and greeted them.

For the two old people, Li Feng expressed respect, and Barron would not say anything. After all, the Hilton sisters were taken down by him. I really want to say that he is the grandchild of others.

As for the old Hearst, when Li Feng first started, he was the first to get acquainted with him, and he was very helpful to Li Feng. Nowadays, every holiday or something, sometimes Li Feng will go to Hearst Ranch to visit. Pastoral life.

At the same time, Li Feng also greeted the younger generations of the two families, including the parents of the Hilton sisters and the current power holders of the Hearst family, three generations of Hearst.

...

After chatting with the two companies, the people who came together began to separate. For example, Ram and others all went to the management of Northrop Grumman and the management of Blackwater Raytheon to discuss the next step. Signing ceremony.

The leaders of the Rockefeller and Roosevelt family also went to meet old friends, political and business leaders at the reception. Similarly, Li Feng also had no time here. All the leaders of the Century series took the lead. Come over to say hello and congratulations.

"BOSS, congratulations!"

"Barry, you're welcome!"

"John, congratulations!"

"Adam, Allen, don't be so polite!"

"..."

Li Feng is lively here, most of the people in the venue are also staring at Li Feng and his party, think about Li Feng’s major companies gathered around him to congratulate, many people secretly thought So, although St. John Lee’s new wealth legend has been known for a long time, the strength of the new wealth legend in the United States is amazing, but the true display in front of him is still shocking.

Northrop Raytheon, which is about to be merged, will not be mentioned. This is a military industry giant that is not inferior to Lockheed Martin, and its influence and strength will not be mentioned.

...

Its subsidiary Skyline Real Estate Company is now known as the largest real estate company in California. It has not only stepped out of California to expand in the United States, but also continues to develop in Europe and Asia.

In addition to real estate projects all over the world, now in the top 10 cities in the United States, and even in those prosperous cities around the world, 5 star skyline hotels are emerging one after another, and in the most famous resorts and regions around the world, sky resort hotels are emerging one after another And so on, have become the symbol of Tianji Real Estate Group.

It is said that even the Waldorf Astoria, which originally belonged to the Hilton Group, has become a brand of the hotel group under the Skyline Real Estate Company. Today, the Tianji Hotel Group is increasingly becoming an international luxury hotel group.

In addition to real estate hotels and military industries, there are also media, sports and cultural groups, investment companies, law firms, industrial groups, energy companies, and now known as the largest luxury goods group in the United States.

Looking at these companies, which one is not the top or even leader in the industry today, these people can only feel in their hearts that St. John Lee is indeed a miracle of the modern business world.

What's even more frightening is that the guy who created such a big scene has just turned 18 and has only debuted for more than 2 years. It can only be described as a miracle.

...

Li Feng's own strength and the displayed connections and influence, look at the bigwigs of all parties present at the reception today, there is no doubt that St. John Lee is now among the highest ranks of mankind.
