Chapter 761 Planning
Those who do not plan for the whole world are not worth planning for the moment.
Those who do not plan the overall situation are not enough to plan a domain.
In fact, Yang Chen did not understand the so-called overall situation, nor did he know which direction the world would develop in a hundred years. He only understood what the world would become in a few decades.
In Asia, developing countries do not have such a foundation as the UK. No matter how rich he is, he cannot acquire companies like British Aerospace.
Even inland, in the aviation field, we have concentrated our national strength and caught up with Western countries for decades before we can catch up with the footsteps of Western countries little by little.
In the inland and military fields, there are state-owned enterprises. Don’t say that you have money in private, even if you have a background, it’s useless.
As for the United States, unless Yang Chen is willing to change his nationality and become a real American, there will be no chance.
The field of military technology is a highly confidential and sensitive topic in any country.
In the middle, it really cannot be measured by money.
This time, the UK has implemented privatization reform, and whether it is large or small, military or civilian, important or non-important, they are all sold out.
It can be said that this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and only once, after passing this village, there is no such store.
This is the same as after the collapse of the Soviet Union in the future, as long as you have money, others dare to sell anything. There is only one opportunity. If you miss it, it will be difficult to find another opportunity.
Now, the Conservative Party headed by Mrs. Thatcher in the UK has had to increase efforts to promote the privatization of British enterprises due to economic problems.
Although these companies are in the loss stage for various reasons.
However, one thing we cannot deny is that most of these British companies are at the world-leading or world-class level. After the acquisition, there is no need to worry about anything else except for considering sales issues.
To be honest, Yang Chen wants to acquire all of the British companies. Technology is priceless. No matter how rich you have or without the accumulation of the foundation, the time it takes to take in the middle is not something that ordinary people can imagine.
However, the British are not fools. They will definitely not let outsiders control too many important enterprises in their country, especially some monopoly enterprises.
Therefore, he can only choose the most promising and stable development companies.
Electricity and telecommunications, one is inseparable from industry and people's livelihood, and the other is that there is huge potential in the future. These two are more important and have more meaningful value than banks.
"After you go down, you start to acquire British Aerospace. During the auction, you can open up your talks with the British government.
We can pay the shares they sell in one lump sum in cash if the UK government believes that our acquisition of British Aerospace is jeopardizing the national security of the UK.
You can tell them clearly that we can accept that they split BAS from breaking it up, something that involves sensitive research and production that we can give up.”
Yuan Tianfan: "Split up British Aerospace?"
Yuan Tianfan was a little surprised that Boss Yang actually came up with such a solution, but this method is indeed feasible, and it is very simple, crude and direct.
However, if you want to split the British Aerospace Company, this idea may be difficult to achieve. Any military-industrial enterprise that reaches a certain scale will inevitably develop in a direction of dual use for military and civilians.
If you want to maintain technological leadership in the military field, you must continue to study it. The investment in funds is not a small amount. Sellers are not that easy to find by selling arms alone, in the absence of war.
Developing civilian products is an important direction for open source for all military-industrial enterprises, which can greatly alleviate the financial pressure of military-industrial enterprises.
Yang Chen: "Of course, this is the last decision. Split up British Aerospace is actually beneficial to us. First, we can use this to dispel their concerns. Second, after the split of British Aerospace, the market value will definitely drop significantly, and the cost of our acquisition will naturally be reduced."
"From the current global situation, the opposition between the two strong men of the United States and the Soviet Union has to a certain extent restricted the initiation of a large-scale war. This is not the decades of World War II. Once the United States and the Soviet Union develop, the world may be directly destroyed.
Both the United States and the Soviet Union understand this truth, so it is obviously impossible for wars of a scale like World War I and World War II to appear again.
As for small-scale local wars and the previous Cavaliers War, the whole country of Britain was unwilling to expand the scale of the war.
From this point of view, as long as there is no accident, the UK will inevitably become a low-return industry in the military field in the future.
Splitting off British Aerospace may cause British Aerospace to lose military orders and cause serious losses in a short period of time, but in the long run, it is also considered a burden for us."
Yang Chen wanted to separate British Aerospace from the bottom of his heart, and he was really not interested in the military field.
Britain was not the United States. After the collapse of the Soviet Union, the US empire frequently launched wars for the oil in the Middle East. In addition, the United States also had huge domestic demand. American military-industrial enterprises did not have any orders, and they had opportunities to make money.
But Britain is different. Britain does not have the strength to launch large-scale wars again. Even small-scale wars rarely occur. At most, it is jointly led by EU countries to bully the Middle East and African countries.
Without major wars, the scale of local wars is limited, and foreign sales are also required to compete with other EU countries, such as France and Germany. These two European countries have almost started all-round competition after the British Royal Fleet became history.
In this way, it is obviously unlikely that British military-industrial enterprises will have good development. With the advantage of maintaining technological leadership, military-industrial enterprises should laugh at them without debt.
In fact, even if he couldn't acquire British Aerospace, Yang Chen was not afraid. If he lost this opportunity, he only needed to wait a few more years. When the Soviet Union collapsed, he could achieve his goals from the Soviet Union.
In his previous life, after the collapse of the Soviet Union, a large number of domestic factories and scientific research institutions went bankrupt one after another, and many experts and professors in the military industry were unemployed and their income dropped sharply.
Especially in some cutting-edge industries, a large number of first-class engineers have come to a standstill, the entire country's economy has collapsed, and there is no money to develop scientific research projects.
For a scientist, it is undoubtedly cruel to have no project to develop, especially those scientists who are unable to eat and wear and do not have enough food and clothing after they are unemployed. In order to survive, they have to accept olive branches from abroad.
Under which background, a large number of scientific and technological talents in the Soviet Union flowed out, and Europe, the United States and other countries have absorbed many top talents.
From a long time ago, Yang Chen made up his mind to wait for the collapse of the Soviet Union to use money to pioneer the way, buy some scientists and research equipment he needs, and add foundation to his business empire.
