Chapter 260: Acquisition of McDonnell Douglas Airlines


For most Soviets, elections were a novelty, and in fact even politicians did not know how to prepare for them.

However, the population structure of the Soviet Union is very young, and young people under the age of 40 will be the absolute main force in this election campaign, and how to win their support is crucial to the success or failure of the election.

Although Seryosha is not clear about some specific matters of the election, his lover Karim is very clear about it.

As the man behind the successful manipulation of the U.S. gubernatorial election several times, it is a pediatric to compete with these immature elected politicians in the Soviet Union.

Karim was born into a political family, her father was the leader of a country, and her political talent was not possessed by people like Seryosha who came from the grassroots.

Because of the peculiar political environment of the Soviet Union in the past, Seryosha only needed to curry favor with his superiors and find a strong political backer to sit back and relax, and dealing with voters was not Seryosha's forte.

Karim sent a sophisticated team of campaign planners to the Soviet Union to help Yeltsin, Sobchak, and others prepare for the upcoming elections to the People's Congress of the Soviet Union.

Karim, on the other hand, continues to stay in the United States to help Eva with some important matters.

Speaking of Eva, she is now the most exposed of the core members of the Gorky Group, as the world's richest man and a strong woman in the business world, Eva's every move has attracted media reports.

According to the personal wealth estimated by the media, Eva just holds Microsoft shares, AT&T's shares have exceeded 80 billion US dollars, and the unlisted Iridium and YOTA Communications are even more incalculable wealth, even rough statistics, Eva's personal assets have exceeded 120 billion US dollars, and just last year, the assets of the original world's richest man Yoshiaki Tsutsumi shrank sharply, and completely withdrew from the competition for the world's richest man.

And the second place on the Forbes list is a full $30 billion difference with Eva.

Some people predict that the position of the world's richest man will not be ceded to others for at least ten years.

As a native of the United States, Eva can help Seryosha do things that Mikhail can't, such as buying up American military companies, and Seryosha has always been very interested in American military industry and aviation technology.

I've been looking forward to the occasional opportunity to win the top U.S. airlines.

These things are not really that easy to do.

Whether it is Mikhail, Boris, Yakov, and Yuri, there are many things that may arouse the suspicion of Americans.

Eva doesn't have that concern, after all, he's someone who used to work for the CIA.

Seryosha most wanted to buy Boeing, but this company was firmly controlled by the Rockefeller family, not only in the international aviation market share, but also in technology ahead of competitors.

Seryosha's entry into the aviation industry was aimed at surviving such enterprises in the Soviet Union as the Tubonev Design Bureau and the Ilyushin Design Bureau, which were capable of building large aircraft.

However, at present, it seems that unless these companies can cooperate with American companies, it is impossible to obtain airworthiness certificates for the European and American markets.

So is there any other choice besides Boeing, of course, and it is still in operational difficulties and urgently needs capital to intervene.

This company is the famous McDonnell Douglas Company.

As a Chinese soldier in his previous life, how could Seryosha forget that the company that once cooperated with China to build a large aircraft As a key project of Sino-US cooperation, McDonnell Douglas and China's plan to cooperate in building a large aircraft, with the collapse of the Soviet Union and the drastic changes in Eastern Europe became a void, when the powerful Soviet Union was dismembered, China's use value ceased to exist, and the Americans, who claimed to keep their promises, tore up the contract, leaving a mess for China's aerospace industry.

McDonnell Douglas was eventually acquired by Boeing because of poor management.

Rather than cheapen Boeing, it's better to save it to yourself.

At the end of the day, McDonnell Douglas is far more valuable to the Gorky Group than it is to be a Boeing subsidiary.

So Seryosha is imperative for McDonnell Douglas.

Among the core members of the Gorky Group, Eva, who once played for the CIA, is definitely the most suitable one to come forward.

Eva's image in front of the American public is so perfect that the world's richest man and the founder of a high-tech company is no longer the same as when she had no way to turn to Wall Street for help.

To put it mildly, if Eva Ken takes over McDonnell Douglas, I'm afraid that McDonnell Douglas's shareholders will laugh out loud in their dreams.

Eva quickly approached McDonnell Douglas through Blackstone, and when McDonnell Douglas learned of Eva's interest in entering the aerospace and military industries, they were thrilled.

Although McDonnell Douglas is an airline, they are also a supplier to the U.S.

Department of Defense.

McDonnell Douglas helped the U.S.

Department of Defense produce missiles, aerospace control systems, computers, data processing equipment, and even solar and wind power generation equipment, because there were too many product lines, so McDonnell Douglas had financial problems.

However, as a high-tech manufacturing company, McDonnell Douglas has small assets, only about $13 billion at full cost, and it can get a ticket to the global aviation market for a small fee, which is a good deal for Seryosha.

Blackstone soon made it clear to McDonnell Douglas, and Eva was interested in the company and planned to pay $10 billion to buy McDonnell Donnell Douglas's 70% stake, and also to offer McDonnell Douglas a huge order for wide-body airliners, which was recently acquired by Pan Am, the iconic American airline.

As a result of the acquisition of Pan Am and the acquisition of a large number of airports and routes, Southwest Airlines is preparing to spend money on about 300 regional airliners for long-line operations in the United States and Europe.

In addition, Mediterranean Shipping is also interested in developing the air transport industry on a global scale, so there will be about 300 cargo aircraft orders, because Pan Am has the rights and interests of many international airports, plus Occidental Petroleum and Tonya have reached a strategic cooperation agreement, which will provide Southwest Airlines with a large amount of cheap aviation fuel, so Tonya, who has annexed Pan American Airlines, is planning to show its strength in the air transport industry, and in terms of cost, no airline in the United States can compete with Southwest Airlines.

Because even the fares of long-distance bus companies can't compare to Southwest Airlines.

Eva's financial resources, coupled with Tonya's sky-high orders, as long as the main shareholders of McDonnell Douglas Company did not have water in their brains, they would not refuse Eva's shareholding agreement, so with the mediation of the Blackstone Group, everyone happily signed the acquisition agreement. 210 t1706231537:
