Back to 1995

If you bought Grumman for hundreds of billions of dollars, would it be expensive? If it were Lockheed Martin, it would probably make your nose crooked, and you would never make a counter-offer. Grumman.

With Lockheed Martin and Grumman, there really is no rival in the American military industry!

But Blackwater Security is not as good as Lockheed Martin. Blackwater Security is still a small family. If you really expect to buy Grumman at a price of one-third of its market value, it is really too much.

"The Grumman Group is indeed worth such a price. If it were Boeing, Lockheed Martin, or Raytheon Group, I think they would definitely be willing to pay hundreds of billions of dollars directly for Grumman.

but……"

Song Yang lightly pressed his finger on the table, "Grumman Group, are you willing to be acquired by Boeing and Lockheed Martin?!"

As soon as Song Yang's words came out, the atmosphere of the aggressive Grumman Group stagnated. Song Yang's words were indeed true. Lockheed Martin was willing to buy Grumman at a price of hundreds of billions of dollars. Would it dare to sell? ,The issue is.

Don’t dare to say [-], but [-]% or [-]%, if Lockheed Martin wins Grumman, it will definitely dismantle it, eat up the entire Grumman, and probably won’t even keep the brand .

At that time, not to mention that Ronald Sugar will continue to be in charge of Grumman, the entire current management of Grumman will probably have to leave.

Another point, Song Yang did not directly say, but it is a problem that the Grumman Group must face, that is, will it face anti-monopoly investigations if it chooses to merge with Lockheed Martin, Boeing, and Raytheon? Not to mention the merger, but instead suffered a big fight and was severely fined a large sum of money.

Of course, even if it has not been investigated by the anti-monopoly, Blackwater Security is still sure, and an anti-monopoly investigation against them can be launched. You can say that Blackwater Security is not enough to succeed, but it is more than enough to fail!
As for the remaining federal military industrial groups, Grumman can of course choose to cooperate, but the size of companies such as General Dynamics and Litton Industries is far from enough to acquire the Grumman Group, and it is impossible to cooperate with these companies. Providing Grumman with the most important beauty, contacts, and resources will not change the plight of the Grumman Group.

After counting and counting, I finally found that the one who seemed to be the most suitable was Blackwater Security. Ronald Sugar and Grumman, the directors, all changed their expressions slightly.

"750 billion U.S. dollars in exchange for 65% of Grumman's equity. Among them, Blackwater Security has paid at least [-] billion U.S. dollars in cash to Grumman's board of directors!"

Song Yang made another quotation, directly adding tens of billions of dollars in one go, and also proposed to pay tens of billions of dollars in cash. In fact, it was for the board of directors of Grumman Group to cash out.

"900 million dollars!"

Ronald Sugar also spoke to Song Yang after talking in a low voice with several Grumman directors.

"830 million dollars!"

"This is the last offer!"

Song Yang said directly, "The exchange of shares between Blackwater Security and Grumman is definitely beneficial to Grumman. In the future, the market value of Blackwater Security will definitely not exceed US$3000 billion.

As long as the merger is completed, Blackwater Security can help Grumman Group get more orders, whether it is fighter planes, ships, missiles, ammunition, etc.! "

Facing the conditions set by Song Yang, no one from Grumman's board of directors raised the price any more, and Ronald Sugar felt that the heat was almost ready.

"If Grumman agrees to the merger of Blackwater Security, then in the future, the legal issues involved in this merger, anti-monopoly investigation, and possible compensation will all be resolved by Blackwater Security!"

Ronald Sugar put forward the last condition, that is, he is not willing to bear the loss. If he is investigated by the anti-monopoly or even fined by the Federal Department of Justice, the fines will be borne by Blackwater Security.

After all, Grumman does not have connections with Blackwater Security and Song Yang. They have a good relationship with the federal defense agency and the Secretary of State, but if it involves the Federal Department of Justice and the Federal Prosecutor's Office, it will be a bit blind. In the final analysis, Grumman It is still a traditional military industry giant, but without the support of the TV station and media, it makes it look like a horse.

Greg and Marcus hesitated for a moment, but still nodded to Song Yang. If they want to buy Grumman, they don't take any risk, so they might as well just give up.

Seeing Song Yang nodding, Grumman smiled and stretched out his hand towards Song Yang. The whole meeting room suddenly burst into applause.

Gleick led the legal team to formulate a merger agreement. The real merger agreement could not be completed in a matter of weeks. Grumman's finance, staff, technology, industry, etc. must be thoroughly reviewed before a merger can be formulated. agreement to take over the entire Grumman Group.

The current agreement of intent is basically a quick cut, cooking the raw rice into mature rice, paying a deposit to Grumman, and then formulating an outrageously high liquidated damages to prevent the Grumman Group from regretting it. On the security side, slowly issuing stocks, raising cash, and the entire merger and acquisition took a year and a half, and it was impossible to complete all of them.

However, if Grumman is allowed to operate independently, the trouble of running-in will be avoided, as long as a few executives of Grumman are parachuted to take over its finances, it will be enough.

The contract is being drawn up over there, and Song Yang has a drink with Ronald Sugar, Gallo, Prince and others here.

"After the merger is completed, Grumman will start delisting. In the future, it will be merged into Blackwater Security and will be jointly listed again!"

Song Yang said directly to Ronald Sugar, and Ronald Sugar agreed without much hesitation.

Anyway, the market value of Grumman is not as high as that of Blackwater Security, and for so many years, it has not been favored by Wall Street institutions. It is not as high as the market value of the empty shelf companies of the Internet. Under the banner, it helped Heishui Security to increase its market value by a little bit.

Of course, in addition to this, Ronald Sugar has selfish intentions. Song Yang promised him that after the merger is completed, he will be rewarded with equity in Heishui Security. The stock price of Shui Anbao is related to the market value. The value of Grumman's brand has a relationship with him. Even if the brand is thrown away, he will not feel uncomfortable.

The war is not over, and the concept stocks of the federal military industry are naturally soaring all the way, especially the two companies Lockheed Martin and Blackwater Security, which can be said to be thriving, and the limelight is far better than other peers.

Among them, the market value of Lockheed Martin has exceeded 400 billion US dollars, and the market value of Blackwater Security is also more than 3000 billion US dollars.

But in the middle of the day, the stock price of Heishui Security suddenly rose suddenly, and the stock price began to be pulled up in a straight line. At a speed visible to the naked eye, the market value began to catch up with Lockheed Martin, showing that there were continuous large orders, and they bought it desperately. The stock of Blackwater Security.

Wall Street institutions, investment banks, pension institutions in the federal states, trust funds and other well-informed people in the past have all joined the camp of Blackwater Security at this time. Even if Blackwater Security has not issued an announcement, they will directly let the outside world know that Blackwater Security is Something big happened.

Along with Blackwater Security, there is Grumman Group, whose stock price and market value have been slow in the past, but today it is like taking medicine, and it keeps skyrocketing.

Near the close, the market value of Blackwater Security officially surpassed Lockheed Martin, making the entire federal military industry companies dumbfounded. Strange things happen every year, especially this year. If you tell them, one day, there will be a The market value of the security company that guards the gate will exceed that of the largest military giant in the Federation. It is estimated that it will become the best joke of the year, but today, the joke has become a reality!
"Who can tell me what the hell happened?!"

Stevens, the president of Lockheed Martin, who was soliciting orders in Washington, was confused for a while after receiving the news, whether it was Lockheed Martin who pulled the crotch, or Blackwater Security took the medicine.

What worries Stevens the most is that the Blackwater Security Company has produced new weapons and won huge orders. This is what worries him the most.

"We haven't found out yet what happened. We have received information from the federal defense agency, and we haven't given any big orders to Blackwater security!"

An assistant hurriedly told Stevens the information he had found out, which made Stevens even more puzzled. He tore off his colorful tie, took off his glasses and wiped it, "Then who can tell me, what is the truth?" what happened?!"

"Maybe it's because of this?!"

A Lockheed Martin executive, seeing the Grumman Group that had just released the announcement, said to Stevens with some uncertainty.

Stevens went directly, and then saw the announcement of the Grumman Group. Just one glance made his blood pressure rush to his forehead.

"Grumman Group and Blackwater Security Company have reached a merger agreement. In the future, the two companies will jointly continue to provide safe and just security equipment for America and the world. One of the important decisions..."

"Is Grumman crazy, they sold themselves to the security of Blackwater?!"

Stevens was a little annoyed. He didn't know if the guys on the Grumman board of directors were out of their minds. I don't want even a little bit of blue face.

"It is reported that Grumman decided to cooperate with Blackwater security because the order was robbed!"

The executive read the gossip and said to Stevens. When the latter heard this, he suddenly remembered the words of congratulations that Rumfield said to him at the banquet party. Listen now, Stevens It just felt extra harsh. At this time, he still didn't know where Lockheed Martin was being used as a gun.

"I didn't steal that order!"

Stevens almost scolded, just an order of more than 30 billion US dollars, forced his rival Grumman to sell himself, and then gave birth to a much more difficult opponent than Grumman, Steven Si really felt wronged and panicked!
"Go and stop this transaction, damn it, no matter what method you use, you must stop it, I'm going to see the commander-in-chief now!"
