PS. Present today's update, by the way, pull a vote for the "starting point" 515 fan festival, everyone has 8 votes, and the vote will also give the starting point coin, kneel and beg everyone to support and appreciate!

In the field of the Internet, Henry, with the memory of his previous life, can be said to have completely crushed other companies in terms of creativity.

He has many more Internet companies that he has yet to build, such as Facebook social networking sites, LinkedIn (LinkedIn professional networking sites, TripAdvisor travel review sites, etc., but Henry has decided that if he builds these sites, he will control them through overseas offshore companies!

Henry instructed people to secretly purchase six registered offshore companies in each of the six places of the British Virgin Islands, the Cayman Islands, the Bahamas, the Seychelles, Bermuda, and the Republic of Panama, that is, a total of 36 offshore companies. Each of these 36 companies collectively controls an Internet company, and it is very difficult for the United States to investigate!

After doing this, Henry had the offshore companies buy up the small Internet companies in Silicon Valley and then have the small companies change their names. Henry first acquired four companies and changed their names to "Facebook", "YouTube", "Linkedln", and "TriAdvisor".

After that, the company acquired some more talent, and Henry gave them his own design to complete!

This time, Henry wants to control these companies behind the scenes, unless necessary, otherwise his identity will not be revealed!

The wood is beautiful in the forest, and the wind will destroy it.

Henry thought to himself, he had done too well. So it's time to make some changes. First of all. Keep a low profile and don't irritate other people, and do something stupid!

What stupid thing to do?

Burn money!

Henry then spun off Williams Laboratories from Williams Electronics. Then renamed the "WilliamsX" mystery lab, ready to burn money!

A company that is bull X, it seems that it also has to carry "X" at the end of its name to be bull X, such as GoogleX, SpaceX......

WilliamsX Mystery Lab will be similar to GoogleX Mystery Lab, engaged in the development of future high-tech that will shake the world, but it will be stronger than Google, engaged in nanotechnology, robots. R&D of artificial intelligence, solar energy, nuclear fission, nuclear fusion, driverless cars, smart glasses, smart watches, high-altitude wireless networks, space elevators and other technologies......

Henry had more than $130 billion on hand. After that, he was also ready to cash out a large amount of money from the stock market, and it would cost hundreds of billions of dollars anyway! This amount of money was just enough to support Henry's high-tech development.

It's okay to burn money. However, the development of technology is a process of accumulation and gradual progress, and some projects will be started after other technologies are mature. For example, driverless cars. Smart glasses, sky elevator......

Henry listed nanotechnology, robotics, artificial intelligence, and high-tech energy (solar energy, nuclear fission, nuclear fusion) as the first research echelon. It is the main research direction of WilliamsX Mystery Laboratory!

……

……

Now, Henry still wants to buy Lockheed Martin. It's just that it's not easy to get the California consortium to let it out. Bank of America is the financial core of the California consortium, but in recent years, the Bank of America has been gradually eroded by the Morgan consortium and the First Citigroup consortium, and the California consortium has become weaker and weaker in its control over the Bank of America.

Therefore, this point is Henry's breakthrough.

If he takes a stake in Bank of America and helps a California consortium regain control of Bank of America, in exchange for buying Lockheed Martin, it should be very likely. Henry pondered for a moment, the only way was to cross-swap Williams Galaxy with Bank of America!

Williams Bank, facing Citigroup Galaxy and JPMorgan Bank in the United States, feels a little weak, and it is time to find allies. The California consortium, also in California, was naturally the best choice. Henry unconsciously thought to himself that he would infiltrate the California consortium through Williams Bank, and then encroach on it step by step in the future, and finally take it for his own use, so as to establish his own Williams consortium!!

Besides, Henry's own main industry is in California, and the so-called one mountain cannot accommodate two tigers, so sooner or later, Henry will also annex the California consortium!

If you want to buy Lockheed Martin this time, it is better to simply break into the California consortium!

Thinking of this, Henry's eyes couldn't help but flash a gleam, and then he picked up the phone and asked people to contact the California consortium!

A week later, Henry met with more than a dozen representatives of the California consortium at Williams Bank!

Henry smiled and said to everyone, "Everyone, welcome to Williams Bank!"

"Mr. Williams, I heard that you are planning to merge Williams Bank with Bank of America, but I wonder if this is true?" asked an old man about 60 years old, staring at Henry like an eagle.

The old man is Brent Gus, CEO and president of Bank of America, an important senior member of the California consortium!

Henry looked at him, nodded, and said, "That's right, there is a plan for this." Henry paused, "Williams Bank and Bank of America have been in constant competition, especially in California, and the relationship between them is very tense, and even the resulting vicious competition has led to losses for both sides." In addition, I am not used to the Morgan consortium and the First Citibank consortium pointing fingers at Bank of America. The Bank of America is the galaxy of the California consortium, which is equivalent to the "territory" of the western consortium, so why should they meddle in the big eastern consortium?!"

"Williams, what do you mean......" Brent Gus asked, slightly stunned, uncertain.

"I mean it simply!!"

Henry laughed, "Williams Bank and Bank of America married, merged together, and then drove the Morgan consortium and the First Citibank consortium away!"

Henry glanced around and said lightly: "I guess you also know that there is a lot of friction between me and Morgan and Citibank, we should be in the same camp, besides, everyone is in California, how can we let people in other states bully!"

As soon as Henry finished speaking, many people nodded secretly.

Brent Gus made eye contact with the others, and then Brent Gus asked Henry, "Do you have a specific merger plan?"

"Yes!" Henry nodded, "Bank of America's market capitalization is $120 billion, and its total assets are close to $600 billion. Williams Bank, on the other hand, has a market capitalization of $80 billion and total assets of more than $450 billion. After the merger, the shares can be redistributed according to the market value distribution!"

Brent Gus nodded slightly, and then whispered a discussion with the others. Williams Bank is a new bank, full of energy, and Williams Bank has a lot of potential, especially in the online banking area, which has the largest number of online registered users. Henry's statement that the distribution according to market value was obviously more powerful for Bank of America, and the other representatives of the California consortium discussed it for a while and agreed to Henry's method of distributing the shares.

Brent Gus then said to Henry, "Mr. Williams, after our discussion, we have basically agreed to your request!"

Henry replied with a smile on his face: "Well, it's really great, it is of great significance for Bank of America to be able to combine with Williams Bank!

Brent Gus said dismissively: "Bank of America is still under the control of our California consortium!!"

Henry had a smile on his face, but there was some disdain in his heart, the control of Bank of America was gradually being snatched away by Morgan and First Citibank, and the California consortium still dared to speak hard...... However, it is also true that at this stage, the California consortium has more control over the Bank of America than the Eastern consortium!

"Mr. Brent Gus, I have a small request before Williams Bank and Bank of America complete their plan to merge!" Henry finally had another purpose.

"What's the matter, you say!" said Brent Gus indifferently, as long as Williams Bank could be merged, it would not hurt to promise Henry some small things!

"That's right," said Henry, "I've heard that Lockheed is negotiating a merger with Martin Marietta, and I mean, I've bought them at my expense!"

As soon as they heard this, the faces of everyone present were a little unnatural.

Seeing this, Henry couldn't help but shrug his shoulders and said lightly: "If I can't buy Lockheed and Martin Marietta, then I can only ask the Morgan consortium if they are willing to sell their arms companies to me, hehe, anyway, there are quite a few of their arms companies, including General Electric Company, General Dynamics Company and Grumman Aircraft Company, etc......." Henry paused, and then smiled at Brent Gus, "Did you say yes, Mr. Brent Gus?"
