Raymond sold United Defense, and Xu Fei was not surprised.

Because the two chatted before, the other party had said that the acquisition of FMC and Harsco by the Lyer consortium was mainly to complete the M8 order, and secondly, through asset management, and then sell the two companies at a good price.

Now that Raymond has got the goods, the next step is to persuade Congress to increase the purchase of M8+.

In the face of strong performance, and with the help of the North American military department, it is not difficult for Raymond to turn the defeat around.

Even if it can't be reversed, it can fight for losses, quote low prices, keep the armament order of United Defense, and let General Motors' 900 M8s rot their hands.

In this way, the Carlisle consortium completed its original plan, and in order to recover the initial investment, it must sell United Defense.

As for whether you want to buy it......

During this time, Xu Fei tried to check the financial statements of the United Defense Company through 'dog eyes', but unfortunately there were no radars and satellites, and the pixels of the small map were too low to make it impossible to read the font on the paper at all.

Fortunately, the intern director at Bain Capital has this information.

And through understanding, Xu Fei found that he couldn't afford it.

United Defense consists of FMC and Harsco.

FMC, also known as North American Food Chemical Company, was founded in 1883, mainly engaged in agricultural products, industrial products, special chemicals, hidden identity is a veteran arms dealer in North America, set research and development, marketing, sales, after-sales as a whole, with 900,000 acres, about 5.5 million acres of farms, three food processing plants, six machinery manufacturing plants, lost headquarters some time ago, but retained a variety of laboratories, existing assets of 6.4 billion US dollars.

Both Android and Apple are available. 】

Harsco, full name HARSCO, founded in 1853, the world's largest and most outstanding steel grating producer, recognized as the 'father of steel grating', invented the world's first steel grating, which is used in the subway system, its products are small to work platforms, trestles, bridges, highway guardrails, ditch covers, fences, large to power plants, chemical plants, oil refineries, steel mills, paper mills, cement factories, food factories, it can be said that covering every corner of the world.

Even if it lost its laboratory some time ago, its assets are still as high as 11.3 billion US dollars.

Roughly calculated, 64 + 113, the total value of joint defense is 17.7 billion US dollars.

Obviously, foreign companies that are making nonsense about themselves do not have the ability to acquire each other.

However, Carlyle and Bain shorted raw materials, FMC and Harsco were almost bankrupt by their own hands, and if the asset evaluation is done again, the total value should be cut in half.

Just as Lao Bu shorted FMC and Harsco to complete the acquisition, and just like Bain shorted the North American Tower and completed the acquisition, now is indeed the best time to acquire United Defense.

"But all my money is used to buy crude oil, where can I get another $8 billion?"

"Do you take the original purchase contract and find a bank for a mortgage?"

"The question is, which bank would dare to lend such a large amount to TEP at one time?"

Xu Fei stood at the Incheon Military Port, watched Raymond personally drive the fighter plane into the air, pondered alone for a long time, and casually greeted a North American soldier arranged by Raymond, "How much capital is available in a base like yours in peacetime?" ”

"It should be less than 30 million US dollars."

"So poor?"

"Among the overseas bases, the South Stick side is already the richest."

"Two hundred dollars a day, including food and shelter, you will follow me in the future."

[Consumes 100,000 energy to construct 14 Navy SEALs.] ]

[No units were found in the vicinity that met the conversion requirements, and the construction failed.] ]

[You can try repairing the shipyard module, repairing the seahead base module, trying to activate the seahead unit, and constructing in that area again.] ]

[Or go to an eligible area and reconstruct the SEALs.] ]

Xu Fei glanced at the prompt, and his eyes met the North American soldier in a sailor suit, and he blinked innocently.

Without thinking, the other party stepped forward and whispered mysteriously: "Mr. Xu, I know you, my brother is in Humphreys F9 area." ”

"Really?" Xu Fei's eyes narrowed, and he pulled the Navy SEALs through the minimap, ready to kill this guy.

However, the GI became inexplicably excited, "Yes, that afternoon, my brother suddenly became a little superman, he couldn't beat me before, but now he can beat me ten, and marksmanship, physical fitness, and brains......

The top brass of the base only thought that it was poisoning, radiation, and chemical contamination, and tried desperately to cover up the lab leak, but I was with my brother that day, and I saw with my own eyes that it was your appearance that made him change now.

Mr. Xu, if I become like him, I am willing to do it with you, not a penny. ”

"This ......"

"Mr. Xu, you are my faith."

Xu Fei looked at the pious soldier, and his scalp was a little numb.

I want to accept you, but I'm not Lao Huang, I don't teach!

"Brother, I believe in your loyalty, in your desire for mystical powers, and in your will one day join us!"

“yes，sir！” The GI stamped his feet and saluted, reminiscent of a newly recruited Navy SEAL.

But it hasn't been reconstructed by the base, and it's useless to shout the code.

Xu Fei patted the soldier on the shoulder again, "The power of the sea far surpasses the land, you will be recognized by the mysterious power in three months, as for what you become, it depends on your performance in the next three months." ”

“yes，sir！” The GI stomped his feet again, saluted again, and waved excitedly.

Xu Fei is not worried that the other party will deceive him, because now we are also deceiving others.

Even if the conversation between the two leaks out, it will be regarded as a neurotic at best.

And if this GI succeeds in converting into a naval unit, it will be tantamount to signing a non-disclosure agreement, let alone publicizing the conversation.

Half an hour later.

Xu Fei walked into the Humphreys base alone.

All the soldiers who stepped forward to stop them shouted "yes, sir!" Then salute and let go.

At the same time, prompts kept drifting in front of me.

[Consumes 100,000 energy to construct 14 Navy SEALs.] ]

[Consumes 100,000 energy to construct 14 Navy SEALs.] ]

[Consumes 100,000 energy and constructs .......] ]

The Humphreys base, with about eight thousand people, is divided into 9 areas.

More than 300 Navy SEALs belong to the F9 zone.

As for the rest of the area, as well as the next base......

Xu Fei went around one by one, communicated with many soldiers in a friendly manner, and got along with management at all levels.

It wasn't until the 500 million energy accumulated recently was exhausted that the book funds of the South Stick TEP Company had almost bottomed out, and it was still unsatisfied to enter the Humphreys F9 area.

Along the way, M1 Heavy Tan, Black Hawk, Chinook, Apache......

All kinds of artillery, all kinds of whoosh ~ boom, all kinds of control equipment......

I touched them all.

Unfortunately, the technology content is too high to be parsed at present, so the relevant technology can only be temporarily included in the laboratory and waiting to be exchanged for a more advanced basic production line.

In fact, Xu Fei came to Nanbangzi not to hand over the goods to Raymond.

It was Humphries, Yongsan and other bases doing business, after it was exposed, it attracted the attention of the White House and the North American Military Department, and after half a month of discussion, the two sides finally decided to change the guard two months in advance.

It is impossible for the GIs in the North American base to stay in one place forever, and they will have to be rotated every two years at most, just like 'soldiers in an iron battalion'.

On the South Stick side, it just expired in May, and now it has been brought forward to March.

Humphreys F9 will head to West Asia, perhaps in preparation for war.

The rest of the region goes to Germany, North Africa, the Gulf of Aden, and Austria......

Other bases, some to South Africa, some to the Mediterranean, some to Northern Europe, and some to the Caribbean......

If Xu Fei doesn't rush over again, the next time he sees it will definitely be all unfamiliar faces.

If you take the opportunity to recruit a group of Navy SEALs and change the base with the change of guards, your business around the world will be guaranteed.

At least, Lan Dong has no worries about traveling.

Xu Fei spent the night busy with recruitment, and slept until dawn in the Humphreys F9 area.

The next morning, he took 200 soldiers to the center of Shouyi City to visit the first directly operated store of Hongqi Automobile.

The storefront in the form of steel structure + glass plate is simple and generous, and the top edge is on the left, where a red flag icon is set up like a fire burning, without graphics and text, without other messy publicity, you can see two bulletproof red flags with V-shaped emissions through the glass.

The overall effect is far more than what auto trade city and what car dealership.

Director Xiao Xu's design ability is actually very high-grade.

Then bring the GIs to participate in the opening ceremony of the 'Mechanical Three Kingdoms Smash Bros. - National Competition'.

This competition still uses the old-fashioned mechanical Three Kingdoms toys, with an additional 2 types of venues, 10 types of mounts, 20 kinds of capes, and the 'Mushuang' series is prohibited from participating.

However, the World Championship that kicks off on Labor Day will allow the 'Musou' series to participate, and the first expansion pack will be released at that time: Invincible.

Obviously, in the future competition, it is about skills.

Like what:

Zhang Fei's Crazy Demon Flurry x1 cycle, + drinking.

Guan Yu's glaive three knives x1 cycle, + stroking beard.

Zhao Yun's Seven Probe Dragon x1 cycle, + Dancing Sword.

Lu Bu's pride x1 cycle, + Halberd.

Basically, the top 20 in the strength of the Three Kingdoms and the top 20 in the best-selling list of the Three Kingdoms of Machinery will produce 'Mushuang' with 1 cycle skill.

And 2 skill cycles, such as the mad demon flurry + Meng Zhang Fei who swept thousands of troops, the price is doubled.

3 skill cycles...... Sorry, it can't be done.

However, more skills were added to the second season of the "Tin Toys Company" promotional video.

A remote control device stuck in the waist, a more refined mechanical tripartite character, a new power button battery, and a radar network with extremely low latency......

"Fight, Three Kingdoms of Machines!"

With a loud roar, on the big stage of the opening ceremony, in the screen assembled by 32 screens, a heroic young man, with a stick in his left hand and a button in his right hand, stared at Zhao Yun on the sand table.

The latter moved with his feet, raised a fine sand, kicked the ground hard, and shot like a dragon.

On the opposite side, Guan Yu, who was in a mechanical posture, dragged his knife and ran wildly, slamming Huashan with all his might.

The two generals, swords and guns collided, and the force of the shock caused both sides to slide back......

Meanwhile.

The sand table expanded rapidly, adding rivers, adding rockeries, increasing vegetation, increasing small soldiers, and increasing other generals in the field......

In the end, countless generals, under the operation of the teenagers, either fought three to one, or five to three, or beat in groups......

"This is the future of the Three Kingdoms of Machinery!"

Tang Mo, the chief designer of Iron Sheet, who was responsible for presiding over the opening ceremony, left a closing sentence.

The cowhide is a bit big, but it plays a good role in promoting the next cartoons.

In addition, the development of mechanical toys in the Three Kingdoms to the present, in addition to the fighting version, assembly, and grand ceremony.

It was relaunched in March and was used to test the market for the regular version of the Destruction Machine.

The overall structure is almost the same as that of the ordinary version, but the exterior design, as well as the military commander Pei She, have been greatly adjusted.

Weapons with broken blades, broken mechanisms, exposed engine wires, near-scrapped propulsion systems, or blind, or scarred faces, or white beards, or smoky heads of all kinds of generals.

Some of them look far more domineering than the normal version of the mechanical Three Kingdoms, while others look particularly funny.

Whether it can be sold depends on the market reaction.

At the end of the opening ceremony, the Smash Bros. National Competition officially began.

Xu Fei said goodbye to the Navy SEALs and returned to Huangnigang with Tang Mo.

On the road.

"What do you think of the factory director, the design consulting company and the computer service company deciding to jointly invest in 'Iron Sheet Entertainment'?"

"Wan Tao is looking for you?"

"He doesn't want to be said by the outside world as 'eating together', in addition, the hawks of the Red Eagle Alliance betrayed the hacker group and scolded Wan Tao for defecting to foreign devils on the Internet."

“……”

"Anyway, this guy has been quite decadent lately."

"How much money does a design consultancy have at the moment?"

"Twenty million red bills."

"What about computer service companies?"

"Seven million red bills."

"Are you all so poor?"

Tang Mo turned his head, not wanting to speak.

"Since you have this plan, the director of the factory will add ...... I almost forgot, I'm also short of money, 8 billion US dollars! ”

"If you don't want to give, just say it." Tang Mo snatched the jelly that someone had snatched and walked out of the courtesy car that arrived at the door of Daze Power.

"Really, I don't lie to you, the headquarters is preparing to take the joint defense, and it is raising money everywhere."

"In fact, it doesn't take much money to invest in Tin Entertainment, but every time you invest in an anime, or a TV series, or a movie, there is a cycle of one or two years. 1 anime, which occupies 5 million, will be completed in two years. 2 anime, which occupies 10 million, will also be completed in two years. If the number of investments increases and the amount of investment increases, but we do not see returns in the short term, we are worried that the headquarters will not agree. ”

"Last time Raymond said that he wanted to make a movie, I asked the headquarters that its industries can develop independently and be responsible for their own profits and losses, but the person in charge must bear all the responsibilities."

"That's fine."

"What was the first project you invested in?"

"I haven't thought about it yet, the Ministry of Literature is screening the script, and in addition, through the Youth Newspaper, some good materials will be collected."

"Well, I wish you all success."

Xu Fei was not very interested in the small business of the subsidiary, and thought about where to raise 8 billion US dollars and returned to the workshop office.

I turned on the TV, sat for a long time, picked up the landline, and decided to ask the Huaxia People's Bank how much foreign exchange was available.

After all, he can operate the acquisition of United Defense.

For example, the TEP does not have enough funds.

Strauss decided that whoever brought in the funds would be the head of the joint defense, responsible for reorganizing the FMC and Harsco's industries and making them bigger and stronger.

What does this mean?

At least Harsco can purchase Huaxia's steel, and FMC can secretly provide some advanced military technology.

Xu Fei had an idea in his heart, and was just about to dial up, when the office TV jumped out of the South Stick News, there was a large-scale power outage in the first place, some power supply lines were seriously burned, and some substation equipment was completely damaged, and the estimated repair time is unknown.

"I can guarantee that there are definitely people who use 500MW high-power electrical appliances in violation of regulations!"
