Objectives were determined.

Next, Levi asked the dark technology company to send several working groups over to launch a request for a wholly-owned acquisition of the 12 private aerospace companies.

Everything is going very well.

In the face of dark technology waving a lot of money in their hands, these private aerospace companies have almost no resistance, and those CEOs and founders almost all nod their heads in agreement with the acquisition of dark technology.

It also doesn't cost much money to acquire these space companies.

On the contrary, it is very cheap.

For example, the Blue Arrow company, which has the highest level of industrial manufacturing, has a valuation of only 1 billion, and Dark Technology offers 2 billion, doubling the price, but the other party's board of directors does not agree, so the price will be increased to 3 billion, and if you don't agree, you will pull it.

The other party quickly said that the deal was closed.

Like Blue Arrow, Zero Billion Space is also an aerospace company with a financing amount of 800 million and a valuation of about 1 billion, but the low-cost small rockets manufactured by the company, Levi felt that there was not much value, and only gave a quotation of 2.5 billion, so if he didn't agree, forget it.

The other party also nodded quickly.

The remaining aerospace companies such as Star Glory, Kyushu Space, Feixin Technology, Mengtian Technology, and Tengyun Aerospace have purchase prices ranging from 200 million to 1.5 billion...... None of the prices exceeded two billion.

Because of the cheapness, Levi bought them easily as if they were buying vegetables at the vegetable market.

Some people may wonder how several of Xia's private aerospace companies have the ability to send satellites into space, so how can the valuation and purchase price be so cheap?

For example, X-Space, a private space company in the Stars and Stripes, has a market value of 35 billion Star Knife, equivalent to more than 230 billion summer dollars.

The 12 private aerospace companies that are at the head of Xia Guo are all valued by Levi are all less than a fraction of that of X-Space.

Why is it so cheap?

Could it be that the aerospace field has been turned into a cabbage by the Xia people, and even the company has become worthless.

This is not the case.

After some investigation, Livi found that the reason why Xia's private aerospace companies are in a difficult situation and have low value is mainly because of their lack of market competitiveness.

Because the cost of launching satellites by these companies is still not cost-effective in front of the state-owned aerospace science and technology companies in Xia State.

Similarly, to launch a satellite, a private rocket needs about 10 million, but the aerospace technology company only needs 10 million, and the launch success rate is higher and the reliability is better.

Moreover, all the rocket models of the Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation are complete, covering all classes of rockets of large, medium, small and micro according to the carrying capacity, and the high, medium and low orbits of Blue Mercury outer space are fully covered.

Depending on the engine of the rocket, there are liquid rockets, solid rockets, clean energy rockets, recyclable rockets...... As long as it is imaginable, there is everything.

Aerospace Science and Technology Company is really amazing!

Even if the Xia government has given funds and policies to private aerospace companies, and has greatly encouraged and supported them, they have nothing to fight in the face of state-owned aerospace science and technology companies.

Even in the international satellite launch market, in the face of the "cheap" X-Space company, the aerospace science and technology company can also provide lower-cost launch services, more kind and conscientious.

So in Xia Kingdom, a private aerospace nightmare-like place, it is difficult for them to survive.

There is no X-Space-like environment for the time being.

However, in Livi's eyes, after his dark space company is established, this situation should change in about three or five years.

……

It was late August.

Dark Technology's acquisition of 12 private aerospace companies has basically come to an end.

Eleven of the twelve companies were wholly acquired (costing less than $10 billion in total) and immediately began to merge and integrate.

Only Lingke Aerospace remains, which has not yet accepted the acquisition of dark technology, and is still in a tangle.

In fact, Chu Longfei, the 39-year-old founder of Lingke, did not disagree with the acquisition, he was very moved by the offer of 3 billion yuan of Dark Technology, and the other co-founders and shareholders unanimously asked him to nod and sign, but he still did not agree.

He agreed to sell the company.

But I don't want to sell my 15% stake.

Dark Technology wants to acquire 100% of the shares and has no intention of sharing shares.

The biggest conflict is here...... Chu Longfei couldn't completely give up the shares that had gathered all his energy and hard work.

Lingke Aerospace was established in 15 years, and it has been 7 years since its establishment, and in the past seven years, the company has experienced countless personnel turmoil and existential crises.

At the worst time, the company's books were only two or three hundred thousand yuan, and even the employees' salaries for the next month were not enough, and they had to buy materials, equipment, and rocket tests.

In order to raise money, he sold his family's house, mortgaged his car, and got into an argument with his family.

The thought of giving up in my heart has risen more than once.

But he gritted his teeth and persevered in these difficulties, leading the team through one difficulty after another.

Because in his heart, there is a dream of astronautics!

There is a grand desire to enter that sea of stars and colonize other planets!

It is with this belief that in 2020, his team successfully developed the RLV-50 recyclable rocket, which is at the same level as X-Space's "Dragon" rocket, with higher reliability, better performance and lower cost.

As long as the RLV-50 rocket achieves a complete success in the next commercial launch, Lingke Aerospace will soon grow into the X-Space company of Xia Kingdom!

He has ample information about this.

Unexpectedly, at this juncture, Dark Technology suddenly launched an acquisition, and the shareholders, who were tired of throwing money endlessly, all had plans to withdraw and jump into the pit, Chu Longfei's persuasion was useless, but faced their collective persuasion.

But he didn't want to give up those shares.

"I'm not greedy for money and not satisfied, 450 million is enough for me for a few lifetimes, I'm worried that after losing my shares, the company will no longer have my place, the research and development of rockets will no longer let me be responsible, and my right to pursue my dreams may be deprived of ...... How does this give me peace of mind to work? ”

The identity of a migrant worker is not guaranteed, you can do what the company tells you to do, you have no right to speak, you can make suggestions, but you can't have your own ideas, you can only be at your mercy...... It was a nightmare for him.

"Your worries are completely unnecessary."

In order to dispel his concerns, Levi said to him: "You have outstanding ability, and you only brought more than 30 R&D personnel to make a recyclable rocket, and talents like you will definitely be reused in my case." ”

"And your idea is too pediatric, your dream can't be realized for twenty years, if you want to play, you can play bigger, if you want to do it, you can make a more advanced spacecraft, I have a rough plan here...... As soon as you join in, I'll make you the project leader and take charge of the project! ”

"Also, after joining Dark Aerospace, you can be responsible for research and development, and you don't have to worry about funding at all, there is Dark Technology responsible for blood transfusion, billion, 10 billion, 100 billion...... Give as much as you want, and you won't be hurt about money anymore. ”

"I'll give you one last chance to think about it, dreams can't be eaten, not to mention come to me, you can realize your dreams, if you still refuse, I won't consider selling the company in the future."

Li Wei still admires Chu Longfei, he is a doctorate, has outstanding ability, has dreams, beliefs, and has a united, united team, and can share weal and woe, such a person is definitely a general!

If you entrust a major task to such a person, you definitely don't have to worry about not being able to do it.

Of course, if he doesn't agree, Levi will forget it, the twisted melon is not sweet, and there is no talent elsewhere.

Listened to Rivi.

Chu Longfei, whose face was full of entanglement and struggle, said that he would give him another day and let him think about it again.

……

The next day, early in the morning.

Livi received a call from Chu Longfei, saying that he agreed to give up all his shares and sell the company to him.

"Good! Welcome to Dark Spaceflight. ”

"Hey~"

Chu Longfei sighed, a little lost, and saw the family members cheering and jumping in the cramped living room behind him, the guilt in his heart finally offset the loss, and in the end, what was left was a relief that was relaxed physically and mentally.

Perhaps, this is the best choice.
