Silicon Valley

May 30, 1995.

Northrop Grumman headquarters.

In the conference room, an old man in his 60s said loudly: "Lockheed Martin has initiated a merger request with us, what do you think?"

"I think yes, the technologies of the two companies can complement each other in many ways!" said Green Noyce, the head of Northrop Grumman's weapons research department. Great competitive advantage in manufacturing!”

A middle-aged man in his forties nodded, he was Evan Church, CEO of Northrop Grumman: "Yes, I also think it should be merged!" After speaking, he turned to look To the old man who spoke at the beginning, "Mr. Green Davey, we can benefit both, Lockheed Martin's technology is much better than ours, and with them, we will create a new era - leading the arms industry and climbing the future. The peak of technology!!!"

"Well," Greene David nodded and said lightly, "merger is not impossible, how to merge is the key!"

Evan Church nodded and said, "Yes, but please rest assured, Mr. Green David, we will strive for the best interests of Northrop Grumman!!!"

...

"Boss, Northrop Grumman has agreed to merge the two companies and is currently negotiating!" Smith said by phone.

Henry said: "It's best to buy a wholly-owned acquisition. I plan to pay 25 billion US dollars!"

"Understood! It's just," Smith paused and said, "The U.S. Department of Defense doesn't seem to agree with our acquisition plan!"

"I know this, and I will find a way!" Henry was silent for a while and said, "You are responsible for getting Northrop Grumman done!"

"Okay, boss!"

After Henry hung up the phone, he couldn’t help frowning.

Sure enough, two large US arms companies are going to merge. The Ministry of Defense immediately objected.

At this time, Henry had to use his identity again to influence the U.S. government, and immediately launched his power to lobby the U.S. Congress and the military. Countless officials who have benefited from Henry and who are enjoying the benefits brought to them by Henry have all spoken to Henry, adding money to open the way. There were voices within the Department of Defense quickly agreeing to the merger of the two companies, Lockheed Martin and Northrop Grumman!

The Internet and TV media are also on Henry's side.

Henry manipulated public opinion on his side, and the American people who were fooled expressed their support.

The voices of opposition from the Ministry of Defense gradually become smaller!

The influence of the big consortium on the US government is huge, and countless officials have an unclear relationship with the consortium. In the annual presidential election, the consortium has played a very important role in it! Whether it's campaign finance or connections. Channels, these presidential candidates have to rely on the power of the consortium!

In fact, consortia and many companies have invested in these legislators since the election of each state legislator. In the United States, there are few congressmen who have not accepted investment from other people...

China's voting rights, have you used it? Henry remembers. He only used it once in his previous life. Moreover, in junior high school, the teacher designated who to choose... Even after finishing university, he never exercised the right to vote!

American voting rights are real. However, big conglomerates and corporations can influence the voting rights of American citizens. For example, Henry has so many companies with millions of employees. He said that he would support so-and-so, not to mention that all employees would express their support, but most people would support it, if it radiated to family and friends. How big will the votes be! With this influence, those officials who want to climb up still have to curry favor with Henry?

Congress and the Department of Defense finally compromised, agreeing to the merger of Lockheed Martin and Northrop Grumman, which was only in 1995, and the two companies were not as strong as they were in 1997. Another point is that Lockheed Martin has been split by Henry, and the aerospace division has joined SpaceX.

At this time, Smith also brought good news to Henry: "Boss, Roslope Grumman has finally agreed to our merger, and the price is 24.5 billion US dollars!"

Henry nodded and replied, "Okay!"

since the collapse of the Soviet Union. The United States stopped the pace of arms race. Therefore, the arms orders fell instantly, and the US arms manufacturers did not make much money. Later, until the "9/11 terrorist attack" occurred, the United States strengthened the development and manufacture of arms again! Roslope Grumman's total sales in 1994 were less than $9 billion and earnings were less than $1.45 billion!

Henry once sent Blackwater elites to assassinate Ben Lan Lan, but he didn't expect that there was a secret passage in his house, so he escaped. Since then, he has embarked on the same path in history and established Al Qaeda! Due to the uncertain whereabouts, Heishui was difficult to trace for a while. In the end, in order not to reveal the identity of Heishui, Henry had no choice but to call back the elite of Heishui.

With the paranoid attitude of Ben-La-Deng hating the United States, there must be something similar to the "9/11 terrorist attack" in the future.

Henry also has a headache about this. He is most worried that Ben ~ pull ~ lights will hit the Williams Center in the future!

...

Roslope Grumman is also an asset of the California consortium. At present, the California consortium is working on finance, minerals and oil, and the capital required is huge, while Roslope Grumman is not making much money, plus it was purchased by Henry, and Henry is on their side of the California consortium, Naturally it was decided to sell the company. What's more, the California consortium also controls many arms companies, such as Litton Industries...

After Henry took Rothrop Grumman down, he immediately embarked on a reorganization plan for the company.

Henry first merged the aerospace division of Roslope Grumman into SpaceX. Now it is rude to say that SpaceX has become the most powerful aerospace company in the world. First, it acquired the aerospace department of Lockheed Martin and Hughes Aerospace and Communications, and now it is the aerospace department of Roslope Grumman. It has a total of 24,000 employees, and its technical strength is not inferior to that of NASA. NASA employs only 18,000 people, not as many as SpaceX. Moreover, the United States only gives NASA more than 10 billion US dollars in funding a year, while Henry has already paid more than 20 billion US dollars to SpaceX...

Sooner or later, SpaceX will replace the status of NASA in the United States! ! !

After the merger of Roslope Grumman and Lockheed Martin, Henry decided to give the new company a new name. Henry thought for a moment, clapped his hands on his thigh, and said, "If you want to choose a cool name, just choose a name. It's called God of War!!!"

Henry knew of a large defense contractor in the United States called Raytheon.

It's called Thor, so let's call it the God of War!
