For the acquisition and merger of Northrop Grumman, from the heart, Li Feng is really satisfied, although the cost is a bit high, after all, cash alone costs more than 13 billion US dollars, you must know that the market value of Northrop Grumman is less than 20 billion.

Yes, although it is claimed to be the third pole of the United States after Boeing and Loma, the market value is less than 20 billion, which made Li Feng sound the news he saw on the Internet in his previous life, saying that Penguin has a market value of 4 or 500 billion US dollars and can buy 4 or 5 Loma companies and 2 or 3 Boeing.

Well, if you just look at it from the stock market, it's really like that, but as long as you understand it, everyone knows that this is not how the accounts are calculated.

After the merger, the first thing is that the two companies need to be temporarily delisted, and then re-listed after reintegration, yes, the new company still needs to be listed, which is the premise of agreeing to the merger, neither the shareholders behind the scenes nor the government are allowed to privatize the company.

In fact, whether it is Loma or Boeing, including the original Raytheon, Northrop Grumman and other companies, there are government-controlled forces in them, including various state funds or something, but they occupy relatively small shares, less than 10%, which can be regarded as an alternative 'state-owned enterprise' with US imperialist characteristics.

The new company is expected to be a new Fortune 500 company in the top 300, with a total of more than 120,000 employees, compared to the 190,000 in Loma today. In '97-98, Loma had nearly 190,000 employees, but the number of employees continued to decrease in later generations.

In fact, it is also conceivable that with the continuous development of science and technology in the future, the concentration of high-tech talents, and the release of many positions, the future of the US imperialists' military industrial giants have actually been decreasing their employees.

……

The peak of the employees of the military giants was actually around 2000, and then they faced a large number of layoffs every year. It seems that around 2000, Loma had more than 200,000 employees, which is really crazy.

In the past, Northrop Grumman had more than 120,000 employees at its peak around 2000, including Raytheon, which had nearly 100,000 employees at its peak, and now, Li Feng knows that before the merger, the number of employees in the two companies was basically the same, around 60,000.

"So be it, it's almost time, let's all go down. ”

After gathering and chatting with everyone before signing the contract, seeing that the time was almost up, Li Feng said to everyone in the room with a smile.

"Okay, that's true, everyone should be almost there. Rumsfeld also replied with a smile.

"John, I've heard that you've called a lot of Hollywood stars, who are they?" Kenny teased with a special smile at this time.

“…”

"Haha..."

Kenny's unbeaten expression was something that a man could understand, and seeing Li Feng's speechless expression, everyone present couldn't help but burst into laughter.

……

Today's reception is definitely a super reception for US imperialism, with a large number of bigwigs from the political and business circles, from the Senate of the two sessions of the California government to state government officials, to the generals and senators of the military and political sides in Washington, D.C., and even representatives of the White House.

As for the business tycoons, they are even more gathered, from the helmsmen and behind-the-scenes shareholder families of major military enterprises to Li Feng's Century Series Company, from the business tycoons in California to the business tycoons from all over the United States.

As for today's Hollywood stars or something, they are just here to entertain them.

"Little John, you've finally appeared!"

When Li Feng and his entourage left the elevator and walked into the hall, it happened that Li Feng saw the helmsman of the Hilton family, Old Barron, the old man of the Hearst family, William Randolph Hirst, and the juniors of the two families, and Old Barron greeted Li Feng directly.

"Barron, William, welcome to your arrival, have a good time!" Li Feng also smiled and stepped forward to hug the two of them and greeted.

For the two old men, Li Feng expressed great respect, and Old Barron didn't talk about it, after all, the Hilton sisters were all taken down by themselves, and if you really want to talk about it, you can be regarded as someone's grandchildren.

As for the old Hearst, when Li Feng first started, he was also the first to get acquainted, and it was quite helpful to Li Feng, and now every holiday or something, sometimes Li Feng will go to Hearst Ranch to go around and live a pastoral ranch life.

At the same time, Li Feng also greeted the juniors of the two families, including the parents of the Hilton sisters and the current rulers of the Hearst family, the three generations of Hearst.

……

After chatting with the two families, the people who came together also began to disperse, such as Ram and the others went to the management of Northrop Grumman and Blackwater Raytheon to discuss the next signing ceremony.

The bosses, including Rockefeller and the Roosevelt family, also went to meet old friends and bigwigs from the political and business worlds at the reception.

"Boss, congratulations!"

"Barry, you're welcome!"

"John, congratulations!"

"Adam, Allen, don't be so polite!"

“…”

Li Feng's side was lively, and most of the people in the venue were also staring at Li Feng and his party, thinking about the bigwigs of Li Feng's major companies gathered around him to congratulate, many people secretly thought in their hearts, although they had long known that St. John Lee, the new legend of wealth in the United States, was amazingly powerful, but it was still shocking to show it in front of him.

Not to mention the upcoming merger of Northrop Raytheon, this is a military industrial giant that is not inferior to Loma, not to mention its influence and strength.

……

Its Skyline Real Estate Company, now known as the largest real estate company in California, has not only expanded beyond California in the United States, but also continued to develop in Europe and Asia.

In addition to real estate projects around the world, the 5-star Skyline hotels that have appeared in the top 10 cities in the United States and even in the world's prosperous cities, and the Skyline resort hotels that have appeared in the world's most famous resorts and regions have become the hallmarks of Skyline Real Estate Group.

It is said that even the Waldorf Astoria Hotel, which originally belonged to the Hilton Group, has become a brand of the hotel group under the Skyline Real Estate Company, and now the Tianji Hotel Group is becoming more and more of an international luxury hotel group.

In addition to real estate, hotels, and military industries, there are also media, sports and cultural groups, investment companies, law firms, industrial groups, energy companies, and now the largest luxury group in the United States.

Look at these companies, which one is not the top or even the leader in the industry today, these people can only feel in their hearts that St. John Lee is worthy of being a miracle in the modern business world.

What's even more terrifying is that the guy who created such a big scene has just turned 18 years old, and he has only debuted for more than 2 years, which can only be described as a miracle.

……

Li Feng's own strength and the connections and influence that appeared, looking at the bigwigs from all parties present at today's cocktail party, there is no doubt that St. John Li is now standing at the pinnacle of mankind.
