Rebirth of the Military Industrial Overlord

Little Hawke Sidley walked into the gate of Highclere Castle with Sir Hook with a very complicated mood, and of course the old friends Wu Daguan and Sir Yifu Shao, who were smiling, were beside them. , There is a young man who seems to be smiling very brightly.

This young man should be the legendary Chinese teenager, Eric Tan, right?

Sidley and Hook shook hands with the three opposing people very gentlely, and confirmed the identity of the young man, it was him.

At such a young age, how did he quickly accumulate that seemingly astronomical wealth, and thus obtained the Rothschild family friendship?

Asking himself, Sir Hook, who already knew China well, felt that his imagination was not enough.

However, this is the fact.

The meeting was held in a luxuriously decorated room exuding British classics. In this old castle with more than 50 rooms, this should be the room used by the original owner to entertain some private guests.

"Excuse me, Mr. Wu Daguan, how do you think about our offer?" It was Hawke Sidley who spoke first. However, when he asked this question, the expression on his face was full of embarrassment.

As the CEO of British Aerospace Corporation, he has the responsibility to ask this question, and he is also responsible for making the best efforts to maximize the company’s interests. Unfortunately, both he and the opposing negotiating opponent know that this issue is the right to decide, and It doesn't depend on him, because he is only the CEO of the company, the highest executive hired by the board of directors of British Aerospace, but he is only the executive.

British Aerospace Corporation was nationalized in 1977 by the Labour Party government after the merger of British Aircraft Corporation, Hawker Sidley and its two subsidiaries, as well as Scottish Airlines, to form a state-owned enterprise and change its current name.

But in 1981, as soon as the Conservative Party led by Mrs. Thatcher came to power, it sold 51.6% of the company's shares to private individuals and became a so-called "mixed ownership" enterprise.

There are several individuals and financial institutions that have come forward to acquire these 51.6% shares. However, as the CEO of the company, Hawke Sidley Jr. knows that, in fact, there is only one boss behind these people and these financial institutions-Rothschild Erde.

In other words, the Rothschild family has more than half of the voting rights in the British Aerospace Corporation!

So, when the Rothschild family has already decided something, and this matter cannot be raised from the perspective of national security, will the British government, as the second largest shareholder, object?

In other words, even if you object, what use is it?

What the board of directors has already decided. As the company’s CEO, Hawke Sidley is probably the only thing left to execute, right?

Wu Daguan did not answer his question immediately, but smiled and stretched out a finger, and then replied: "Mr. Hawke, after careful internal research, we have integrated various situations, so we plan to offer this price. Purchase the entire "BAC1-11" production line."

"One hundred million pounds?" Little Hawke Sidley asked with a ten-thousandth hope.

"No, it's 10 million pounds." Wu Daguan shook his head and replied.

Sir Hooker, who was still in the dark, couldn't help it at first. Before Little Hawke could say anything, he interjected: "Oh, my God, I want to buy our most advanced passenger aircraft production line for ten million pounds. Wu, are you kidding me?"

Wu Daguan shook his head again and replied: "No, this is our very serious offer, Sir Hook, Mr. Hawke, I think our offer is very sincere."

Hook replied again: "This is impossible, Wu, I think this is a waste of time!"

"Oh? Really? Then, come and listen to my reasons." Wu Daguan replied slowly, picking up a pair of black-rimmed presbyopic glasses from the table and placing them on the bridge of his nose. This thick material turned to a page and began to read:

"In September 1969, with the support of the governments of Gaul, West Hans, and Britain, the development of the Airbus A300 short- and medium-range wide-body passenger aircraft began. It was put into production in 1972. In October 1972, the Airbus 300B1 prototype flew for the first time. 1974 Delivered for use in May 2015."

Hearing Wu Daguan suddenly talked about a passenger plane that had no connection at all, Hook couldn't help being stunned, and hurriedly interrupted: "Wu, we are talking about "BAC" now, not Airbus..."

But Wu Daguan continued to say in a hurry: "Sir Hook, don't worry, I haven't finished yet."

Then, he turned to another page and continued reading: "According to the original plan, Hawke Sidley, which was invested by the British side, will produce the main wing part of the Airbus A300, and with Hawke Sidder Lee Company merged into British Aerospace Corporation, and this contract was also logically inherited by British Aerospace Corporation."

Having said that, Wu Daguan looked up at Hawker Sidley, who was sitting silently on the side, and asked: "Mr. Hawke, this case should be based on your appointment as the president of Hawker Sidley. Didn't it happen at that time, you must remember, right?"

Little Hawke Sidley nodded helplessly. This incident is well known throughout Europe's aviation industry, and he is one of the most important participants, there is no way to deny it.

Sir Hook continued to be reluctant: "Wu, you are still talking about Airbus, that aircraft has nothing to do with the "BAC" we talked about..."

"Why is it okay? Sir Hook, please listen carefully to what I am going to say below." Wu Daguan's expression on his face remained unchanged, and he turned a page to continue reading: "As the A300 is gradually accepted by the market, sales have begun. In 1981, the number of orders received was as high as 300, and there were even more than 200 intentional orders. The original assembly line of the only complete machine at West Hans could not fully meet the requirements. According to the actual conditions and needs of the investors, in June 1982, after negotiations between the five countries, the Airbus A300 will plan to build an assembly line in Gaul and British Aerospace. The production line factory selected by British Aerospace is located in Weybridge."

Looking at the two pairs of eyes on the opposite side that were gradually becoming more dignified, Wu Daguan kept chanting calmly: "Weybridge Factory, the second production base of the British Aerospace Corporation "BAC" passenger aircraft, was completed in 1966 and has a complete set of "BAC". The passenger aircraft production line, except for the on-board equipment subcontracted to a third-party company, the Weybridge factory can produce almost all parts of the "BAC" passenger aircraft and assemble the entire aircraft. With the arrival of the "Airbus" A300 passenger aircraft production line Because of the site, this "BAC" passenger aircraft production line will have to be dismantled."

After reading this, Wu Daguan closed the original document of unknown origin, and then smiled and asked, "If this document is all true, then I have a question, Mr. Hawke, you are going to sell it to Is our "BAC" production line located in the Weybridge factory, which is about to be abandoned?"
