"Baozi Chen Qitai?" Li Feng confirmed again.

"BOSS, yes, it is Mr. Chen Qitai of Boots Group, who said that he was coming to visit in the afternoon, and said that he mentioned it to you. ”

"Oh... , I met and chatted at the previous cocktail party, but I didn't expect people to really care. ”

"Naturally, the 'Paris Spring' brand in China is still authorized by the Spring Department Store, and the Spring Department Store is also one of the major shareholders of the domestic 'Paris Spring' company. Li Shanquan interjected with a smile.

"Okay, bring them to my office when they arrive. Li Feng replied with a smile.

Back in the office, and then chatted with Bill and Li Shanquan for a while, Wu Jianmin had already gone to London at this time, and helped Li Feng take the lead in exploring the way, as Wu Jianmin's future president of Standard Chartered, he was very suitable at this moment when Li Feng could not leave immediately for the time being.

After Bill and the two said goodbye, Li Feng sat on the big back and began to turn on the computer and put himself into work, to be honest, if Li Feng was really busy with work, he couldn't be busy 24 hours a day, after all, so many large and small companies, really to be busy, there are too many things.

I took a cursory look at the briefings sent by major companies every day, skimmed over some unimportant ones, and focused on a few more important briefings, such as some information about the acquisition of Spring Department Store and Standard Chartered Bank sent from Paris and London.

……

In addition to the recent acquisitions, there is also news from the major companies on the US imperialist side, especially Blackwater-Raytheon, which has negotiated with Northrop Grumman three times, and has basically formed a consensus on the merger of the two companies, that is, the final group equity issue is still arguing with each other.

Once the two companies merge, there will be a military-industrial giant comparable to Lockheed Martin, and yes, when the current Blackwater Thor merges with Grumman, it will be a military-industrial giant that is not inferior to Loma.

If Li Feng can control such a company, then he can basically go sideways in the American empire. To tell the truth, seeing the news sent in the briefing, Li Feng's heart was still very moved, and he couldn't wait to fly back to the US imperialists immediately and participate in it in person, which was really too tempting.

Whether it is today's Blackwater Thor or Northrop Grumman, the strength of the two companies is now comparable, that is, in terms of market capitalization and valuation, according to the briefing, the final merger plan is based on the 1:1 shares of Blackwater Thor and Northrop Grumman.

Originally, it was actually Northrop Grumman who was stronger, but Hugh intervened before, and then Li Feng gave an order to directly acquire Hugh's Litton Company, which was the last bit of gap with Grumman.

Today's Blackwater Raytheon Company, whether it is in terms of profits, sales or all-round technology accumulation, etc., is not inferior to Grumman, and it was finally decided to merge directly according to 1:1 shares.

……

Although it has not yet been officially made public, it has already exerted a huge influence within the upper echelons of US imperialism, and two factions have been formed in the politics of US imperialism.

One faction is the military-industrial giants represented by Lockheed Martin and Boeing, but they are lobbying the US imperialist government, hoping that the government will take measures to prevent the merger of Blackwater Raytheon and Northrop.

There is no doubt that neither Boeing nor Lockheed Martin wants a new super-military-industrial giant to rise within US imperialism, which is obviously detrimental to both.

Naturally, Li Feng's side also showed no weakness, and took rebuttals and lobbied the government. Naturally, they mobilized their own relations, including those political figures of US imperialism, some consortia, and so on.

After all, with the influence of Loma and Boeing, it is naturally a huge influence to start lobbying, but Li Feng is not to be outdone, originally the two companies are second only to Lockheed Martin and Boeing, and their influence is naturally not small.

What's more, Li Feng himself can't be underestimated, although the time of his rise is indeed shorter, but he can't stand it too conspicuous, and he has also contacted a lot of big names and bigwigs from all sides.

Including Rockefeller, Roosevelt, Bush family, etc., as well as Li Feng's strong including Hearst, Hilton, gambling king Cork family, etc., yes, Li Feng has pulled several major families together through his own connections and is helping himself.

More importantly, Li Feng got the support of the Zipper Couple, Li Feng had several phone calls with the Zipper Bag couple before, and had friendly exchanges on the future contact with the Zipper family, etc., and even, Li Feng vaguely mentioned the origin of the name of Zipper on the phone.

As for the origin of the news, it is said that his media group received the news and was rejected by himself when he was preparing to report, and as for the information received, he said that it was destroyed.

Well, as for what Zipper will think, Li Feng can't control it, for the merger of the two companies, Li Feng attaches great importance to it, and naturally has to make use of it in all aspects. As the so-called county officials are not as good as the current management, the current Zipper is the president, and with the support of Zipton, Li Feng's side naturally has the upper hand.

……

If today's Blackwater Thor has reached the top in missiles, satellites, electronic communications, and radar, then Northrop Grumman has reached the top in fighters, bombers, early warning aircraft, etc., as well as warships.

For example, as far as fighter jets are concerned, although most of the current US imperialism is led by Loma's F16 and Boeing's McDonnell Douglas F15, as for the new century, it is the famous Loma-F22.

But few people know that in fact, Northrop Grumman's fighter jets were once comparable to Lockheed Martin, but it's a pity.

Later, with the failure of the F23 to compete with Loma's F22 for the fourth-generation fighter of the United States, Northrop Grumman completely abandoned the fighter business. However, the fighter developed by Northrop Grumman is still nostalgic.

Not to mention the F6 Hellcat in early World War II, the F5 Tiger fighter in the second-generation aircraft, a large number of aid to American allies, the American carrier-based fighter F14 Tomcat, because of the "Top Gun" starring Tom Tom and is widely liked by military fans, and military fans who like F14 are called the Cat Party.

The F20 fighter is an improved version of the F5 fighter, which was originally sold as the main force under the condition that the third-generation aircraft F16 was not allowed to be exported, but unfortunately when the F16 was allowed to be exported, the F16 ran out of the market; the F18 fighter, the predecessor of the current naval carrier-based aircraft F18E/F, was also developed by Northrop Grumman and later sold to McDonnell Douglas.

The F23 stealth fighter developed by Northrop Grumman competed with the F22 for the fourth-generation aircraft order of the United States, but in the end it fell short and lost to the famous F22 after the new century.

It can be seen from this that the strength of Northrop Grumman in the field of fighter development may only be slightly inferior to that of Lockheed Martin.

……

In addition to fighter aircraft, the well-known B-2 strategic bomber is also one of the signboards of the Grumman company, and the rest includes strategic reconnaissance planes and so on, not to mention, in the field of aircraft development, the Grumman company is definitely in the leading position of the United States imperialism.

As for the last battleships, not to mention, Grumman is simply outstanding in the United States in terms of warships, and the subordinate Newport Shipyard has produced all aircraft carriers from the beginning of World War II to the present.

From the Yorktown-class aircraft carrier, the enterprise-class aircraft carrier, the Nimitz-class nuclear-powered aircraft carrier and finally the Ford-class nuclear-powered aircraft carrier, this aircraft carrier is the dream of the entire Chinese generation, and Grumman is only one company that represents almost the entire aircraft carrier level of the US imperialists.

It can be said that after the merger of the two companies today, its strength is absolutely beyond people's imagination, and it is not inferior to the giant of Lockheed Martin, and its influence can be imagined.

According to Li Feng's current control of the shares of Heishui Thunder God Company, even after the merger, in the new company, Li Feng silently controls nearly 20% of the shares, and is definitely the largest shareholder.

In short, Li Feng is still very much looking forward to this.
