Back to 1995

The little cowboy, who was pacing back and forth in the commander's office, finally made up his mind and confessed to Chief of Staff Card.

The merger of Blackwater Security and Grumman Group will definitely make Lockheed Martin, Raytheon, and General Dynamics several military giants dissatisfied, but that's all. It's a big order, and those giant companies can't let him open his mind just because of a little dissatisfaction.

Besides, the Little Cowboy family is a typical representative of the American military industry and oil group, not the Kennedy family, which is easy to provoke. Those military industry giants have to weigh the consequences before moving the Little Cowboy.

Compared with the Lockheed Martin companies, Song Yang is the big sponsor of the Little Cowboy. Now that the general election is warming up, it is impossible for the Little Cowboy to offend Song Yang and affect his own election.

The harm between the two powers is the lesser, the little cowboy is still very easy to handle this kind of thing, knowing which side to choose, and will not completely offend the other side.

In the villa where the party was being held, Rumfield, the boss of the federal defense, was stunned for a moment after receiving a call, and then turned to Lockheed Martin President Stevens and Raytheon Group President Swanson and said with a smile, " Congratulations to both of you!"

Stevens and Swanson were taken aback by the congratulations. They didn't know what Rumfield meant, but they still smiled and held them up, accepting the congratulations.

Seeing the expressions of the two, Rumfeld was also "convinced" that it should be the two of them who stole the order that originally belonged to Grumman!

After Ronald Sugar returned to the Grumman Group, he immediately held a board meeting. Regarding the merger and acquisition suddenly proposed by Blackwater Security, there was also a lot of controversy within the Grumman Group.

After all, the Grumman Group is living a good life now, and it is not at the end of the mountain. In addition, the Grumman Group is one of the giants in the federal military industry. Apart from being good, the rest of the fields are completely incomparable with Grumman.

Of course, there are also supporters. It can be seen that the Grumman Group has reached a bottleneck period, and it is too difficult to break through the current predicament on its own.

Blackwater Security Group, no matter how you look at it, is a good merger party. Although it is a rising star, Blackwater Security Group has a significantly deeper relationship with the federal defense agency and the Grand Commander than Grumman Group. Blackwater Security Group The group's connections, resources, and funds, coupled with the technology of the Grumman Group, seem to be a "match made in heaven."

Facing the quarrel between directors and executives in the conference room, Ronald Sugar remained silent. As an old-school professional manager, although he was inclined towards mergers, he would not easily express his position until the situation of the board of directors was not clear. , so as not to fall into passivity.

While Ronald Sugar was considering whether to make a statement, the phone of the executive in charge of the marketing department of Grumman Group suddenly rang in the conference room.

Ronald Sugar and the others were all quiet at this moment. They all knew that it must be something important to be able to call at this time.

"what?!"

The person in charge of Grumman's marketing department changed his face suddenly when he heard the news from the phone, and his voice became sharp, "Lockheed Martin and Raytheon stole our $37 billion order?!"

As soon as this remark was made, the entire Grumman Group conference room suddenly showed signs of frying pans. After putting down the phone, the director of the Grumman Marketing Department said with an ugly face, "Lockheed Martin, two companies, take away We have received orders worth $37 billion including chained cannons, missiles, rocket defense systems, radars, and ammunition!"

"funk!"

"Lockheed Martin and the others are really deceiving people too much. They have already received tens of billions of dollars in orders by relying on fighter jets, and they even snatched our orders!"

A Grumman director slapped the table and cursed, and the rest of the Grumman directors also raged at Lockheed Martin, thinking that the other party was really deceiving people too much, it is really unbearable , I can't bear it.

The entire conference room was full of curses. Ronald Sugar was actually a little suspicious. The cake is so big now, and the two wars between Tahir and the Kingdom of Babylon, there are too many orders, and it is impossible to finish it. At that time, Lockheed Martin was still grabbing orders, and the food was really ugly.

But regardless of whether there is an inside story or not, Ronald Sugar knows that the opportunity is coming, no matter whether Lockheed Martin did it or not, just put the shit on their heads.

After coughing, Ronald Sugar said with a heavy face, "It's time for a change. This is not the first time. Starting with the YF23 fighter jet, the Grumman Group has been robbed of too many orders." , we need to change, we need to respond!"

Ronald Sugar slammed his fist on the table, and said with a final word, "I propose to start merger negotiations with the Blackwater Security Group!"

"I agree!"

The director who scolded the most fiercely just now raised his hand in support. At this time, the other directors of the Grumman Group have no choice at all. I'm flattened.

And on this occasion, if anyone dares to vote against it, some people will say that they will be suspected, the fuck is it a traitor sent by Lockheed Martin or other companies.

When he arrived in San Jose again, Ronald Sugar's lineup was much bigger than last time. He brought many directors and a group of executives with him. Naturally, the Blackwater Security Group gave him a high enough treatment. .

"We have also heard about the Grumman Group. Lockheed Martin has gone too far this time. They have already received enough orders!"

As soon as they met, Gallo was full of "sympathy", and said to Ronald Sugar with the same hatred.

Ronald Sugar glanced at Gallo, then at Song Yang at the side, and didn't mention that he questioned what happened in Washington, but just nodded.

Coming on behalf of the Grumman Group this time, Ronald Sugar would naturally not be polite like last time, and a group of people directly entered the conference room.

For the Blackwater Security Group, Song Yang, Gallo, Prince, Greck, Marcus and others were all present.

The two sides were polite, and after they got to know each other, they went directly to the topic. They both knew that this merger must be done quickly, and the merger must be completed in the shortest possible time. Once it is delayed, it may never be possible to complete the merger.

"For this merger, the Grumman Group's board of directors is willing to start negotiations with Blackwater Security. Now is the time for a change!"

Ronald Sugar said, "However, the Grumman Group deserves the treatment it deserves!"

"Of course!"

Gallo also agreed with all his mouth, and he would naturally talk about the scene, and it was impossible to kick people at the beginning.

"If the Grumman Group and the Blackwater Security Group can complete the merger, we can guarantee that the Grumman Group can retain its own brand and continue to operate independently, and the Blackwater Security Group will not interfere!"

Marcus also said at this time. Hearing this, everyone in the Grumman Group nodded in satisfaction. These conditions can make them feel the sincerity of the Blackwater Security Group.

But the extravagant hype, what really made Grumman and the board members care about is what price Blackwater Security can offer. No matter how much other things are said, it is far less realistic than the dollar!

"How does Blackwater Security Group want to complete the merger?!" Ronald Sugar asked the most critical question.

Gallo, Marcus, and Greck all glanced at Song Yang, and it was Marcus who said, "Blackwater Security is willing to acquire Grumman Group at a premium in the form of stock plus cash, at a price of US$650 billion. In exchange for 65% of the shares of Grumman Group!"

Military giants such as Grumman, Raytheon, and General Dynamics must pay a premium if they want to acquire them. The current market value of these companies is far lower than that of Blackwater Security. The market value of Lockheed Martin surpasses that of Blackwater Security.

However, the market value cannot truly reflect the value of the Grumman Group. It is not surprising to get orders worth tens of billions of dollars at one time, or even orders directly exceeding the market value.

Therefore, despite the fact that the Grumman Group seems to have a low market value, the future is uncertain. It is not half as high as the market value of a sauce-flavored technology company, but their strength is far superior to that group of sauce-flavored technology companies.

Now the Blackwater Security Group wants to acquire 650% of Grumman Group’s shares at a price of 65 billion U.S. dollars to complete its holding, which is equivalent to acquiring Grumman at a market value of 700 billion U.S. dollars. This has exceeded In addition to its current market value of more than [-] billion U.S. dollars, it can be regarded as a premium acquisition.

However, the Grumman Group was dissatisfied with the purchase price, "It's not enough. The market value of US$[-] billion is by no means the real value of the Grumman Group. Wall Street institutions have never been optimistic about us.

We are the Federation and one of the largest military industrial groups in the world. The Blackwater Security Group merged with Grumman, and almost obtained a complete set of high-end weapon R&D and production technology. If the Blackwater Security Group wants to build radars, missiles, bombers, In industries such as ships and rocket systems, it is impossible to do it without 30 years of effort and hundreds of billions of dollars invested!

But now, if you get Grumman, you can get all these things. Isn't the Grumman Group worth 1000 billion US dollars? ! "

Hearing the lion from the Grumman group open their mouths, Gallo and Prince gasped. They didn't think that Grumman was worth the price, but it was too scary.
