Silicon Valley

In this stock price crash, the most thrilling addition to the Internet is the airline.

Since the "9.11" incident, the entire air transport has been suspended for 3 days. However, after the resumption of flights, the number of American Airlines passengers shrank sharply in a short period of time due to the shock of the incident, and there was even a situation where there was only one passenger on a flight, enjoying the same treatment as a private jet.

So tragic, so obvious!

In the stock market, the stock price of airlines has plummeted as much as that of Internet companies, but there are few airlines, so they can't lose much wealth in total.

Now that airlines are in such a situation, what else is there to say.

Henry then ordered the collection of airline data. Although private jets are awesome, buying the entire airline is even more difficult!

Buying an airline can do a lot.

Ares Arms Co. relies too much on military orders. Henry's relationship with the military is very embarrassing now, and the number of orders will decrease in the future, which is for sure.

Ares Arms Company is the most powerful fighter aircraft manufacturer in the world. Using military technology to convert it into civilian use, there is no problem in producing passenger aircraft! If you buy an airline, you can produce and sell it yourself, and secondly, the airline will be very profitable in the future. The most important thing is that the Ares Arms Company re-enters the private aircraft market. Once successful, it is equivalent to developing a new profit point. Ares Arms Company will never have to look at the face of the US military from now on!

To this end, Henry even considered sabotaging the merger of Boeing and McDonnell Douglas. Since last year, Boeing and McDonnell Douglas, the world's two largest aerospace manufacturing giants, have negotiated a merger plan. Once merged, the new Boeing will have an exclusive share of more than 65% of the global aircraft market. At first, Henry did not intend to bankrupt their merger plan, but who made the U.S. military unhappy with him, the Ares Arms Company had to enter the civilian airliner field in order to make money. Therefore, Boeing must not be allowed to become bigger and stronger and form a monopoly. Otherwise, how can there be good fruit from the God of War Arms Company to eat?

Only the more turbid the water in the field of civilian airliners, the better it will be for the Ares Arms Company.

Ares Arms Company is also a last resort to enter the private airliner industry. If the U.S. military really does not give orders to Ares Arms Company, it will be embarrassing. Henry wants to move the entire company. Whichever country welcomes it, go to which country! ! !

The world's most technologically advanced fighter aircraft manufacturer, I still don't believe that no one wants it!

If the U.S. military dares to treat itself badly, it will not regret it in the future! ! !

...

At the end of September, Henry decided to acquire "American Airlines". In this "9.11" incident, two passenger planes of "American Airlines" crashed, causing heavy losses to the company. Of course, "American Airlines" is one of the five largest airlines in the United States, and Henry bought it because of its size and the relatively easy-to-remember name of American Airlines.

Negotiations began quickly, and American Airlines' market value has now dropped to $2.8 billion, with a fleet of nearly 400 aircraft. American Airlines is present in more than 140 navigable cities—including 80 cities in the continental United States and 25 countries. American Airlines has nearly 60 international routes, including major international cities such as London, Madrid, Sao Paulo, Tokyo and Shanghai!

The parent company of American Airlines is AMR. AMR has gone bankrupt several times and has serious financial problems. Combined with the "9.11" incident, the airline has lost money. When Henry made a takeover request, he naturally agreed immediately.

American Airlines' market value was originally $3.5 billion, and Henry's price was $3 billion, $200 million more than the current market value in the stock market. Everyone can see that the aviation business in the United States will have a long period of loss. Many airlines are selling, but no one is buying. Think about it, the stock market is so down and everyone's wealth has shrunk. Who would be willing to spend billions of dollars on an airline that is obviously going to lose money?

Soon, two weeks later, AMR agreed to the terms of the deal.

The two parties immediately signed the contract.

As a result, Henry has another airline under his name, American Airlines. In the future, if the private plane doesn't come, Henry can go to his own airline to fly, and he can also be an experience instructor to see if the first class is comfortable and whether the flight attendant service is in place... If not, he needs to be trained well. ! !

At present, American Airlines is not very strong. Henry intends to take advantage of this opportunity to acquire a large number of airlines, strengthen its strength, and develop into the world's largest airline.

Stocks are still falling now, only a month or two away, far from the end of the decline.

After the Internet bubble burst, it was in a downturn for several years. Henry can completely wait for a while before buying shares.

At this time, Kaelina had already made every effort to prepare for the Asian financial turmoil, and Henry was also looking forward to this day coming earlier.

When he had nothing to do, Henry played games in the house.

Blizzard has released a new game "StarCraft", which was Henry's favorite when he was young in his previous life. Henry logged on to the Firefly game platform to download StarCraft, and then entered the room to fight. Although the game screen is rough, it is very playable and interesting.

Because of the strong balance of the game, various tactics emerge in an endless stream. "StarCraft" can be called a super classic work in the real-time strategy competition category. Once released, the number of downloads on that day exceeded 10 million, and the number of game registration codes purchased was as high as 5 million, breaking the history of the game since its release. Blizzard has long become a legend in the PC game industry. Blizzard's products must be high-quality products. Countless people look forward to the stars and the moon, and Blizzard to release new games. However, Blizzard always bounces tickets. But the more this is the case, the more itchy people are. On the day the game was released, I couldn't help but play it...

After playing it, I found that the game is too powerful, and I was instantly hooked!

Henry is an old hand no matter what, tormenting these little rookies is like playing.

After playing for a while, it got boring.

Rookies, grow up quickly, it's boring to abuse vegetables!

After the release of "StarCraft", an idea suddenly appeared in Henry's mind-the establishment of a WCG competitive competition. The reason why the game is not recognized by most parents is because they feel that the game is boring. If the game can make money and exercise the brain, then do they still not recognize the game?

Therefore, first of all, let people see the value of the game, and the game competition is the best way to express it!

Regarding the WCG competition, Henry sent an email to Firefly Games, and the first WCG competition could be held by the end of the year. The final WCG champion can PK with himself.

Every night around 7 o'clock, Henry has developed the habit of watching the news. With more and more changes in history, only by recharging himself can he become stronger.

The U.S. military is currently searching for Ben Lantern all over Afghanistan, but after several months of searching, nothing has been found. The remnants of al-Qaeda are only a few small shrimps, they don't know anything, and the entire high-level organization of al-Qaeda seems to have disappeared from the earth.

After an official searched for Bin Raden to no avail, he became very angry and threatened in front of the TV: "Whoever dares to cover up and hide Bin Raden and al-Qaeda is against the US military and is the enemy of our US!"

"Idiot!" Henry shook his head and scolded, "There is no Ben Pulling Lantern in the world, there is only a more terrifying existence than Ben Pulling Lantern—that's me!"
