At the end of the year, after the WCG ended, Henry was busy sabotaging the merger of Boeing and McDonnell Douglas.

Of course, Henry had a lot of money, and the most direct way to destroy it was to buy McDonnell Douglas at a higher price.

However, this proposal was immediately opposed by the US judiciary. However, Henry is very clear that Boeing has made no less "contribution" in this.

The reason for the objection of the US Department of Justice is: "The God of War Arms Company is already the largest arms company in the world, and McDonnell Douglas is also an arms company." If the God of War Arms Company buys McDonnell Douglas, it will form a huge monopoly!"

Henry sneered disdainfully: "Boeing's acquisition of McDonnell Douglas, occupying more than 65% of the global market, is the passenger aircraft market not a monopoly?"

For this reason, Henry did not protest to the US judiciary against Boeing's acquisition of McDonnell Douglas. Henry thought to himself, it's a big deal, you can't get it, and I can't get it!

However, the U.S. government agreed to Boeing's acquisition of McDonnell Douglas!

The European side is naturally happy to see Henry's acquisition of McDonnell Douglas. But McDonnell Douglas is an American company, and the U.S. government has the final say. Saying that you have a monopoly, what can you do? That is, favoring Boeing, what can you do? Henry has no choice but to admit it. If you can't buy it, you can't buy it, and it's a big deal to develop your own passenger plane! Henry believes in the technology of the God of War Arms Company, and it will definitely be able to build a good passenger plane!

At present, there are three main companies in the field of passenger aircraft production: Boeing, Airbus, McDonnell Douglas.

The three major manufacturers of passenger aircraft are essentially arms dealers. Boeing is a very powerful space airline in the United States, producing satellites, rockets, warplanes, missiles, etc., and is one of the five largest arms dealers in the United States. McDonnell Douglas is a little behind, but he is also a powerful arms dealer. As for Airbus, the entire company is 100 percent owned by the European Aerospace Defense Corporation, and you can know that it can be called a "defense group" if it is not an arms dealer.

In fact, in the early years, Lockheed was also a major manufacturer of passenger aircraft, but it fought with McDonnell Douglas, and the last two were greatly damaged. Lockheed has directly withdrawn from the field of passenger aircraft.

The merger of Boeing and McDonnell Douglas dealt the biggest blow to Airbus, because the European "Airbus" company was already at a disadvantage in the struggle for hegemony with Boeing, and the merged Boeing will only be stronger, and "Airbus" will undoubtedly suffer even more, so the Europeans accuse the Americans of monopolistic competition and oppose the merger of the two companies. However, after negotiations and negotiations, until July this year, Boeing was forced to abandon the monopoly supply contracts it had signed with dozens of American airlines, in exchange for the approval of the merger by Europeans.

There was no opposition from Europe, and the US government supported the merger of Boeing and McDonnell Douglas, which seemed to be impossible to prevent, and the unprecedented air "giant" was born, and at the same time posed a serious threat to the God of War Arms Company in the field of fighter aircraft!

To be honest, doing the arms business is far less profitable than doing the passenger plane business. Henry himself runs the arms company, which is very clear, the net income of the God of War Arms Company is not high every year, only more than 2 billion US dollars, and this money has to be invested in technology research and development, and the rest of the money is not much at all. Of course, if you are in the arms smuggling business, then forget it, it is indeed super profitable!

A plane sold by the God of War Arms Company to the United States may have to increase by 10 times if it is sold to China. And the Chinese military is also very willing to buy.

Henry is still making honest money, and although weapons are sold all over the world, they are all under the control of the United States.

Boeing's passenger aircraft are very profitable, and this alone brings Boeing more than $1.55 billion in net income, plus other income, it will definitely exceed Ares Arms.

More than 40% of the orders of the God of War Arms Company belong to the US military, so it is very dependent on the US military. Therefore, the God of War Arms Company must change.

The God of War Arms Company once acquired Northrop Grumman, the world's largest radar manufacturer, and by virtue of its own technological advantages, it has become a leader in the field of unmanned aerial vehicles! The "Global Hawk UAV" developed in the previous life is the most advanced in the world, and it has always been imitated and never surpassed. The air lanes of many countries around the world allow it to fly casually, and it is clear that the Global Hawk UAV is trustworthy and not afraid of its ramming.

The project has already been launched and developed in 1995, and Henry has invested heavily in it.

At the same time as the development of the "Global Hawk UAV", Henry also formed a team to study the "small UAV" by the way, develop the civilian market, including **********, delivery UAVs and so on......

Developing a delivery drone with Northrop Grumman's technology was a piece of cake. However, the cost of drones may be a bit high, but Henry doesn't care, Henry only cares about cumulative technology. Now the cost is high, and after a few years of research, the cost will not be reduced, and then it will be launched on the market, as long as the price is suitable, it will definitely be super hot. When Henry thought of the Nicholas Express Company using a large number of drones to make deliveries, he couldn't help but get excited!

Henry felt that ********** would be able to commercialize it first. At present, when making a movie, if you use high-altitude shooting, you basically rent a helicopter, and you must know that the rental fee of a helicopter is not cheap at all. For large film companies, it is much more cost-effective to buy a few **********.

Galaxy Pictures needs a lot of ********** like this.

On December 31, Boeing and McDonnell Douglas signed a contract to officially merge.

Henry looked at the news with a calm expression, the corners of his mouth rose, and he smiled contemptuously: "What can I do if I merge!"

At this time, Henry began to step up the acquisition of other airlines in order to strengthen the strength of "American Airlines". Americans generally travel by car and plane. The aviation business cannot remain sluggish. This is a rare opportunity for Henry to develop "American Airlines" into the largest airline in the United States.

After the New Year, Henry went on a buying spree, spending $26 billion in just one month to buy 12 airlines, until the U.S. Department of Justice called a halt. The new "American Airlines" monopolizes more than 45% of the U.S. market and has become a "giant" among airlines.

Fortune: "U.S. Airlines has a market value of $28 billion after a merger and acquisition, and has become a Fortune 500 company!!"

Time Magazine: "Henry Williams is bold in buying airlines against the trend!"

USA Today said: "The largest airline in the United States was born, and at least half of Americans fly by Henry Williams. ”

……

With 51 airports, 2,800 aircraft, and 175,000 employees, the new American Airlines is the largest in the world.

As long as the passenger aircraft manufacturer wins the order of American Airlines, it is enough to make a lot of money, so that the world's major passenger aircraft manufacturers rushed to the Williams Estate to visit Henry!

"Boeing is awesome, what can it do if I don't buy its plane?" said Henry, laughing.
