Silicon Valley

PS. Here is today's update, and by the way, I will pull a ticket for the 515 Fan Festival. Everyone has 8 tickets, and they will also get coins for voting. I beg everyone for your support and appreciation!

Henry, this is already a threat from Chi Guoguo. The implication is that if you do not agree with my acquisition of Lockheed and Martin Marietta, then I will favor the Eastern Consortium.

The California consortium also owns a number of arms companies, including Lockheed, Lytton Industries and Northrop, which are among the top ten arms dealers and arms exporters in the United States. The California consortium made its fortune in the arms industry in the early years, quickly accumulated capital, and eventually became an important force that could compete with the eastern consortium. California has also become the largest arms production base in the United States!

Brent Gus and the others looked at each other, not knowing how to answer for a while. Henry Williams' financial strength and influence are stronger than that of the California consortium. If he favors the eastern consortium, then the control of the Bank of America will eventually fall into the hands of the eastern consortium.

Losing the control of Bank of America, the California consortium will lose its financial backbone, which will be an extremely heavy blow!

Brent Gus said: "Mr Williams, please let us think about it for a while."

"No problem, please reply to me as soon as possible, I am impatient!" Henry replied with a smile.

Brent Gus nodded: "Okay, we'll get back to you as soon as possible!"

Then Brent Gus left Williams Bank with a group of people.

After Henry waited for them to leave, there was a smile on the corner of his mouth, hehe, he seized the weakness of the California consortium and was not afraid that they would not give in.

Henry is considering what other companies to acquire after acquiring Lockheed Martin. At this time, a name "Les Leis" suddenly popped into my mind!

That's right, it's Rolls-Royce!

Isn't Rolls-Royce the world's top ultra-luxury sedan maker? What does it have to do with aerospace? In fact, the relationship is big, Rolls-Royce is also involved in the field of aircraft engine manufacturing. It is the best engine manufacturer in the world, and even Boeing, with its incomparable technology, uses Rolls-Royce engines!

"Come on, my Ford seems to have been driven for a long time. It's time to change it!" Henry said in his heart.

How can a Ford car be compared with a Rolls-Royce, it is simply worthless to ride in a Ford car.

Rolls-Royce is the symbol of elegance and nobility in the automobile kingdom, no matter how old the style of Rolls-Royce is and how expensive it is. There are still no challengers.

Wealthy people don't necessarily have to be Rolls-Royce owners, and the company that makes cars is luxurious enough to choose customers. Well-known people from the literary and art circles, science and technology circles, and well-known entrepreneurs can have white ones. Senior government officials above the ministerial level, world-renowned entrepreneurs and social celebrities can drive silver ones. The black Rolls-Royce is only for kings, queens, and heads of government. , Prime Minister and Cabinet members tailored.

Henry just remembered, due to the poor management of Rolls-Royce. Rolls-Royce's parent company, Vickers Group, plans to sell it in recent years. After that, BMW and Volkswagen in Germany scrambled to bid.

Henry thought of this, and immediately sent the negotiating team of the British branch to contact the Vickers Group, saying that he wanted to buy Rolls-Royce.

Afterwards, Henry drank coffee in the office, and just took a sip, he suddenly remembered that Bugatti Motor Company declared bankruptcy in 1995, before Rolls-Royce. Henry couldn't help shaking his head, good things appeared one after another. Tian and Fukui are to blame. Since they have entered the luxury car industry, how can they give their competitors the opportunity to strengthen their strength!

Received!

All received! ! !

Henry then ordered a purchase request to Bugatti.

After hanging up the phone, Henry drank the rest of the coffee. He shook his head and sighed slightly. Rolls-Royce and Bugatti "have different fates". They were also bankrupt. Scrambled, and Bugatti didn't want anyone... years passed. The Bugatti brand was acquired by Volkswagen.

At the end of November, the weather turned cold, and the cold wind outside the window was like a knife, blowing the bare branches.

Bugatti's acquisition went very smoothly. Henry proposed a $100 million purchase price to the company's creditors and shareholders, and the other party agreed immediately. However, the acquisition of Rolls-Royce is in big trouble!

Henry just knew that Rolls-Royce was not doing well and had been losing money for years, and the parent company, Vickers Group, wanted to sell it. However, Henry did not expect that there are so many corners in it!

It turned out that Rolls-Royce had Rolls-Royce Aircraft Engines and Rolls-Royce Motor Cars. However, BMW took control of Rolls-Royce Aircraft Engine Company in 1990, while Vickers Group only controlled Rolls-Royce Motor Company. What is even more confusing is that the brand name of Rolls-Royce belongs to Rolls-Royce. Aircraft Engines, and therefore Rolls-Royce Motor Cars, needs to be licensed if they want to use the Rolls-Royce brand name! However, although the name of the car does not belong to the Rolls-Royce Motor Company, the car logo belongs to the Rolls-Royce Motor Company!

Well, this relationship is really complicated enough!

However, one thing surprised Henry. It turns out that there is still a big brand under the Rolls-Royce Motor Company - Bentley!

Henry thought for a while, his original intention was to buy Rolls-Royce, get its aircraft engine, and buy Rolls-Royce cars by the way. Now, depending on the situation, he must buy Rolls-Royce Aircraft Engine Company!

Henry shook his head and made another offer to BMW to buy Rolls-Royce Aircraft Engines for $10 billion.

However, BMW has also long coveted Rolls-Royce cars. It knew that Henry was going to buy Rolls-Royce Motors, and how could he sell Rolls-Royce Aircraft Engines to him! It didn't take long for BMW to reply to Henry, not to accept the takeover offer, and not even a chance to negotiate!

Henry was stunned when he heard the words.

"BMW is so awesome, do you want me to develop a Tesla car and overturn you?"

No matter, first buy the Rolls-Royce Motor Company, although there is no Rolls-Royce car name, but there is a Rolls-Royce car logo, and there are Bentley cars! ! !

Henry thought to himself, Brother can't produce Rolls-Royce cars, and BMW can't even think about it.

Subsequently, Henry continued to initiate the acquisition of Vickers Group, and Volkswagen and BMW also joined the bidding, but Henry, who was rich and powerful, offered $850 million to instantly kill the two!

After seeing Henry's successful acquisition, BMW was furious and immediately announced that it would stop supplying engines to Rolls-Royce Motors.

Henry laughed disdainfully, as if it was very rare, the car engine seems to be your BMW? It doesn't matter if you don't need a BMW engine in the future!

[515 is coming soon, I hope to continue to hit the 515 red envelope list, and by May 15th, the red envelope rain can give back to readers and publicity works. A piece is also love, it must be better! ](To be continued ~^~)
