220 Merge Celebration Party
Two days later, with the election of a new board of directors and directors of all parties of the company, the new Blackwater Raytheon Company was formally established and began to enter the merger stage.
Although the consent of the Ministry of Defense has been obtained, it still needs to be voted by the final Congress, of course, under the joint public relations of the two major groups of Blackwater and Raytheon, as long as the merged company is not so exaggerated to the monopoly barrier, it is not a big problem.
At the beginning of this year, the Department of Defense and Congress vetoed the merger request for Lockheed Martin and Grumman, mainly believing that if the two companies merged, the scale of the new company would be too large, and a monopoly had been formed, which was not conducive to national security.
For the military industry of US imperialism, Lockheed Martin and Boeing are undoubtedly the top two, and Grumman is the third, and Blackwater, Raytheon, United Technologies, General Dynamics, etc., are all on the same level, and the scale of the latter 2-3 joint may be comparable to that of a predator like Lockheed Martin.
And with the formation of the new Blackwater Thunder God Company, the new company jumped out of the back echelon, and in all respects, it is second only to Grumman Company.
In fact, as far as Li Feng understands, the main reason is that the main business income of these companies is more than 8 or 9 layers from national defense orders.
In fact, there are many companies in the United States that are not inferior to Raytheon and the like, such as companies like United Technologies, but the proportion of defense orders of companies like them is not as exaggerated as the above five companies.
Speaking of United Technologies Corporation, the average person may not know about it, but when it comes to Black Hawk helicopters, most people will have heard of it, and even military fans will be familiar with it, the famous movie - Black Hawk Down is based on the Black Hawk Helicopter Down.
……
The new shareholders' meeting of the new company was held, and Li Feng officially took control of this military company that is destined to be famous in the future, and yes, Li Feng became the chairman of the shareholders' meeting.
Although Li Feng only has less than 10% of the shares on his face, with the representatives of several major fund companies controlled by Li Feng completely giving Li Feng the voting rights, coupled with the support of the Roosevelt and Rockefeller families, the shares exceeded 50%, completely suppressing the shareholders of the original Raytheon.
Li Feng has carried out a certain restructuring of shareholders' rights, integrating those small shareholders, stipulating that at least 5% of the shares can obtain a vote on the board of directors, and as a result, many small shareholders have joined forces to obtain a seat in the shareholders' meeting.
Similarly, with the support of Li Feng, Rumsfeld was elected chairman of the new company and began to prepare for the establishment of the board of directors.
Next, the resources of the two major companies were integrated, a group of senior executives came up, and several new directors were elected to the board of directors, of course, these new directors are all powerful figures, including the founder of a top law firm, the former US imperialist political and military bigwigs, and the board of 11 corporate executives.
Six directors, including Li Feng, Rumsfeld, David Rockefeller, Del Roosevelt, Zack, the head of the law firm - Li Feng's nominal guardian, and former CIA Director Robert Gates, controlled the board of directors through the behind-the-scenes shareholders' meeting.
Similarly, the remaining 5 people are basically the executives of the original Raytheon Company, retired bigwigs from the military and political circles, etc.
……
After three days of meetings, the company was roughly straightened out, and the next thing was to integrate the two companies, and similarly, Li Feng raised the issue of commercial aircraft companies and elevator companies investing mainly in China, especially mentioning the pearl of United Technologies Company, which was recognized by shareholders and the board of directors.
For these two aspects of the domestic contact problem, Li Feng did not participate in it again, first, Huaxia has always pursued a supportive attitude towards such a matter sent to the door, and there is no need to waste favors.
Second, for such a big thing as the merger of Blackwater and Raytheon, Li Feng believes that the domestic high-level must be very clear about the doorway, and even believes that what role Li Feng plays in it must be within the reference range of others, and Li Feng does not want to perform too deliberately.
Similarly, the company has formed two headquarters, and has formed a team based on the former Hughes Company in California, integrating the relevant technologies of the two companies to form a business based on missiles, radar, and aerospace.
On the former Raytheon side, it has formed a business based on aircraft companies, intelligence information, defense, security, technical support, etc.
When it was basically straightened out, there was good news from Congress, and in the end, 80% of the votes passed the merger application, and then it was time for celebration.
……
Starting the evening of September 1st, the Century Estate in Beverly Hills was brightly lit and lively. Today is the day of the celebration party, and the venue is simply held in Li Feng's Century Manor.
Overlooking the bustling night view of Los Angeles and the warm Pacific breeze, Li Feng found it a good choice to host a party in Century Manor.
"Barry, Ovitz, how's it going?" Li Feng asked his two henchmen as he looked at the lively party garden scene.
"John, it's very good, the publishing department of Raytheon has been acquired and integrated, although it is now mainly educational publishing, but there is a complete publishing and distribution channel for the whole United States, which is indeed a very good acquisition for our group.
By the way, there is already news about the 'Harry Potter' you asked me to find, and the copyright is basically not a big problem, but they just want us to promise that we will make a movie at least within 5 years, and we hope that the protagonists will be mainly British actors. Barry replied with a smile.
"Yes, it doesn't matter, you look at it, personal opinion, but I think I can agree to others. Li Feng replied with a smile.
"That's true, yes, BOSS, I think you need to be more concerned about your team in the UK, it seems that the team is doing very well and is a strong contender for the title this year.
Do you think we're going to do it next year and let it come here and open it up?" Ovitz agreed, then chimeled in to bring up the Chelsea issue.
Hearing Ovitz's words, Li Feng couldn't help but be speechless for a while, well, he almost forgot.
……
Obviously, since the merger of CAA and IMG, Ovitz has also begun to pay attention to sports, after all, running such an event is IMG's specialty, and with a natural advantage like Li Feng, people naturally want to take advantage of it.
"Then did you set up a branch in Europe?" Li Feng asked with a smile.
"It's already set up, and I went to Portugal myself and found the Portuguese agent you mentioned – Mendes, who has become the manager of our European sports division. At the same time, his own football agency was merged into our sports division, and he himself held a 4-tier stake in the football agency. ”
"Oh, that's good. ”
"I've talked to Mendes and I feel that this guy is smart, maybe our European football department will be a new growth point for our agency in the future. Ovitz also replied with a smile.
"Haha... , yes, my vision has always been good, isn't it?" Li Feng replied with a laugh.
I thought, of course this is good, this is the future number one agent in the football world.
……
Yes, Li Feng took Mendes, the future No. 1 agent in football, under his door, when Ovitz led someone to find someone, Mendes only had 2 or 3 kittens at that time, and in the face of the recruitment of world-class brokerage companies such as CAA-IMG, especially when some of Ovitz's plans communicated with him, Mendes obediently complied.
Ovitz told him at the time according to Li Feng, saying that he was going to vigorously develop South American football talents and turn them into IMG's talent base. Similarly, Europe will be the new IMG focus of the future.
Especially when I heard that Li Feng had begun to lay out, such as the acquisition of Chelsea in the Premier League, etc., it was all for the future, and it made Mendes admire Li Feng's vision and the big boss behind his own scenes.
