Chapter 383: The U.S. Military Don't Force Me
In addition to the Internet, the most thrilling of this stock price crash is the airlines.
Since the outbreak of 9/11, the entire airlift has been suspended for three days. However, after the resumption of flights, due to the shock of the incident, the number of American Airlines passengers shrank sharply in a short period of time, and there was even a situation where there was only one passenger on a flight, enjoying the treatment of a private jet.
It's so miserable, you can see it!
In the stock market, the stock price of airlines has plummeted to the same extent as that of Internet companies, but there are few airlines and there is not much wealth in total.
What else is there to say since airlines are in such a situation.
Henry then ordered the collection of information about the airline. Private jets are awesome, but buying an entire airline is even more hoisting!
Buying an airline makes a lot of difference.
Ares Arms relies too much on military orders, and Henry's relationship with the military is awkward now, and the number of orders will decrease in the future, that's for sure.
The Ares Arms Company is only the world's most powerful fighter aircraft manufacturer, and it is naturally no problem to produce passenger planes by converting military technology into civilian use! If you buy an airline, you will be able to produce and sell it on its own, and second, the airline will be quite profitable in the future. The most important thing is that the God of War Arms Company's re-entry into the private aircraft market, once successful, is equivalent to developing a new profit point, and the God of War Arms Company will never have to look at the face of the US military from now on!
For this reason, 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 been in talks to merge the new Boeing company, which will monopolize more than 65 percent of the global aircraft market. At first, Henry did not intend to bankrupt their merger plan, but who made the US military unhappy with him, God of War Arms had to enter the field of civilian airliners 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 fruits to eat from the God of War Arms Company?
Only the muddier the water in the field of civilian airliners, the more beneficial it is for the God of War Arms Company.
If the US military really does not give orders to the God of War Arms Company, it will be embarrassing, Henry wants to move the entire company, and whichever country welcomes it, he will go to which country!!
The world's most powerful fighter manufacturer still doesn't believe that no one wants it!
If the US military dares to treat itself badly, it will not regret it in the future!!
……
At the end of September, Henry decided to buy American Airlines, which crashed two American Airlines airliners in the 9/11 attacks, resulting in heavy losses for the company. Of course, American Airlines is one of the top five airlines in the United States, and Henry bought it because of its size and the relatively easy to remember name of American Airlines.
Negotiations soon began, and the U.S. Airlines' market capitalization has now fallen to $2.8 billion, with a fleet of nearly 400 aircraft. American Airlines operates in more than 140 cities – including 80 cities in the continental U.S. and 25 countries. American Airlines operates nearly 60 international routes, including major international metropolises such as London, Madrid, São Paulo, Tokyo and Shanghai!
The parent company of American Airlines is AMR, which went bankrupt several times and had serious financial problems, which, in addition to the 9/11 attacks, caused the airline to lose money. When Henry made a request for acquisition, he naturally agreed immediately.
The market value of American Airlines was originally $3.5 billion, and Henry's price was $3 billion, which is $200 million more than the current market value in the stock market. Everyone can see that the U.S. aviation business will have a long period of loss, and many airlines are selling off, but no one is buying. Think about it, the stock market is so sluggish, everyone's wealth has shrunk, what rich person is 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 acquisition.
The contract was then signed.
As a result, Henry added another airline to his name - American Airlines. In the future, if the private jet does not come over, Henry can go to his own airline to take a plane, and by the way, he can also be an experience teacher to see if the first class cabin is comfortable and whether the flight attendant service is in place...... If you don't have it, you need to train it well!!
At present, American airlines are not very strong, and Henry intends to take advantage of this opportunity to acquire a large number of airlines to grow and develop into the world's largest airline.
Now the stock is still falling, only a month or two, far from the end of the decline.
After the dot-com bubble burst, it was in a downturn for several years. Henry could have waited a while before buying shares.
At this time, Karina was already fully preparing for the Asian financial crisis, and Henry was also looking forward to this day coming soon.
With nothing to do, Henry played a game in the house.
Blizzard has released a new game "StarCraft", which was Henry's favorite when he was young in his previous life. Henry logs in to the Firefly game platform to download StarCraft, and then enters the room to fight. Despite the rough graphics, the game is very playable and fun.
Because the game is so well balanced, a variety of tactics emerge one after another, and StarCraft is a super classic in the real-time strategy competitive genre. Once released, the number of downloads exceeded 10 million on the same day, and the number of game registration codes purchased reached 5 million, breaking the history of the game since its release. Blizzard has long become a legend in the PC game industry, produced by Blizzard, it must be a high-quality product, countless people look forward to the stars and the moon, and look forward to Blizzard's new games, but Blizzard's cheating father always skips tickets. But the more this happens, the more itchy people become. On the day the game was released, I couldn't help but play with it......
After playing, I found that the game is so powerful that I was instantly hooked!
Henry is also a veteran no matter what he says, abusing these little rookies, as if playing.
After playing for a while, I was bored.
Rookies, grow up quickly, it's not interesting to abuse vegetables.
As soon as StarCraft came out, Henry immediately thought of setting up a WCG competitive competition. The reason why games are not recognized by most parents is because they feel that games are playthings, and if games can make money and games can exercise their brains, then they still don't approve of games?
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 competitive competition, Henry emailed Firefly Games to hold the first WCG competition at the end of the year. The final WCG champion can PK with himself, hehe......
Every night around 7 o'clock, Henry got into the habit of watching the news, and as history changed more and more, he could recharge himself to become stronger.
The U.S. military is currently searching for Ben Laden in Afghanistan, but after months of searching, they have found nothing. The remnants of al-Qaeda are only a few small shrimps, they don't know anything, and the entire al-Qaeda top seems to have disappeared from the face of the earth.
After searching for Ben Pull's lamp to no avail, an official was furious and issued a threat in front of the television: "Whoever dares to harbor and hide Ben Pull's lamp and Al Qaeda is against the US military and is our America's enemy!"
"Fool!" Henry shook his head and scolded, "there is no Ben Puller in the world, only a more terrifying being than Ben Pull's Lamp - that's me!"
