Silicon Valley

Although Helen had watched "Titanic" once, when she watched it again with Henry, she was still moved to tears.

This "Titanic" is basically the same as the previous movie. After watching it, Henry was also quite moved! Henry can already foresee that a big ship is going to sweep all the movies, and at the same time, there will be unprecedented sales of tissues around the world!

The roles of Jack and Lucy are on fire!

The theme song "My Heart Will Go On" has become a classic!

In this soulful singing, Henry and Helen couldn't help embracing each other... From the movie battle to the bedroom, from the bed to the ground, the battle was earth-shaking and hearty!

After the cloud and rain, Helen's face was still flushed. Like a Persian cat, she was lazy under the quilt and looked at Henry. Henry had just called someone to bring dinner in. It was already more than 8 o'clock in the evening, and the two had been fighting for almost an hour.

Henry walked up to Helen and kissed her on the face, "Go and take a shower, it's dinner time later!"

Helen nodded, "Yeah."

Saying that, Helen stood up from the bed, a charming white ketone body was suddenly exposed to the air, her skin was silky smooth, like milk, her body was curvy, her body was curvy, her body was bulging, and she had almost no fat on her body. Henry kept watching Helen walk into the bathroom, and then retracted his gaze.

He sat down at his desk, and while he had nothing to do, he started designing his own yacht.

After half an hour, Helen came out of the bathroom. She was wearing Henry's white shirt, just enough to cover her buttocks. The collar of the shirt is open, and the chest is half exposed, and you can see a piece of white flowers, which is really charming!

Helen hugged Henry from behind, "What are you doing?"

"Oh, designing a yacht!" Henry turned around and took Helen in his arms. "When the yacht is built, I'll take you to sea for a vacation!"

Helen smiled sweetly, "What does it mean?"

"Of course!"

"Then I want to see what the yacht you designed looks like? If the yacht is too ugly, I won't go!"

Henry smiled. Showing her the yacht drawings, she said to herself, "There is no doubt that this is the most creative yacht design in this century!"

Helen took the drawing and looked at it, and couldn't help being shocked.

"This, this is a yacht?"

"What? The design is not good-looking?"

"Good-looking is good-looking. Just how does it look like a spaceship!"

Henry proudly said: "It's cool, isn't it! The yacht I designed is a three-hull yacht with the main body in the middle and 'wings' on both sides!"

"Yes, very cool!" Helen has to admit that this design is completely different from the current yacht, so creative and amazing!

"What's the name of this yacht?" Helen asked.

"Adastra!" Henry replied. The Adastra has been named "the most stunning superyacht in the world" by Boat International. On the day of the launch, it caused a huge sensation! The hull is made of glass and Kevlar, and the floor and furniture are made of light oak material, which is very light in weight, low in fuel consumption and fast in sailing. However, the boat was built a little too small, 42 meters long and 16 meters wide. Not atmospheric enough.

The Adastra, designed by Henry himself, should be at least 150 meters long and 60 meters wide, and it can park a helicopter. The materials for building the hull should also be replaced with aerospace glass and aerospace metal materials. At least it collides with other yachts, and it can only survive!

Flooring and furniture, how expensive is how to come, anyway, the more luxurious the better.

The energy uses nuclear energy, so that the power is large enough. The speed is fast enough.

Henry expects to spend $2 billion to build the most expensive yacht in history.

At this time, the doorbell rang suddenly, and the food delivery person came.

Henry opened the door and let them put dinner on the table. When it was over, Henry called Helen over for dinner.

It was 9 o'clock after dinner.

That night, naturally neither of them went home to stay...

In the next few days, Henry stayed at Galaxy Films to accompany Helen. Smith soon brought good news to Henry. He had negotiated with Tenneco and was willing to sell the Newport-News shipyard for $2.5 billion. After three days, they will send a representative to sign the contract.

Once the Newport-News shipyard is in hand, it is equivalent to having the strongest naval shipyard.

At present, the sea, land, and air are just short of army equipment...

Three days later, Tenneco's chairman and Newport-News' CEO both came to San Jose, where Henry met and signed the contract. After that, Henry kept George Joy, the CEO of Newport-News, and asked him to report on the company's situation.

Henry was initially surprised to hear that Newport-News shipyards could be bought for as little as $2.5 billion. After listening to George Joy's words, Henry suddenly understood that it turned out that the high complexity of the construction of nuclear-powered ships determines that its cost remains high and its profits are extremely low. The Newport-News shipyard is almost uncompetitive in the field of civilian ships, so it can only live on orders from the US military. Although it can produce powerful nuclear aircraft carriers and nuclear submarines, these cannot be sold to the outside world. Therefore, although the Newport News Shipbuilding Company has the unparalleled warship construction technology in the world, it can only "beg for a golden rice bowl". If the US military gives it, it will have something to eat. It's no wonder that you can buy such a great company for $2.5 billion...it's not very profitable at all!

However, this does not matter to Henry, the shipyard does not make money, and some other companies help him make money. If the Newport-News shipyard can bring him status and technology, wouldn't it be a deterrent to own such a shipyard?

Henry took out the drawing of the yacht "Adastra" designed by himself from the drawer and handed it to George Joy to see.

"George Joy, this is the yacht I designed, and the outline concept diagram is probably like this, part of it requires me to write it on the back."

George George took a serious look, his face full of shock, "Mr. Williams, may I ask which designer designed this yacht? I have to say, it's really creative!"

"Thank you for the compliment!" Henry smiled faintly, "It took half an hour to draw it yesterday..."

"Oh, God, Mr. Williams, did you really design it? And it only took half an hour? Oh, you are a genius!!!" George Roy praised loudly.

Henry smiled slightly, then asked, "Can the Newport-News shipyard make it!"

George Joy shook his head and said: "The data on the paper may not meet the manufacturing requirements. We need to conduct detailed evaluation and analysis to make a decision. I'm sorry, I can't answer you for the time being!"

"It's okay! Take this design back, try to convene engineers to discuss and analyze it, and give me an answer! This design is a first draft, and you can make a more detailed and feasible design!"

"Okay, Mr. Williams!"

...

After buying the Newport-News shipyard, Henry still has 72.5 billion US dollars! He suddenly had a feeling that he was too rich? I feel like I can't spend a lot of money.

It seems that it is really difficult to spend this money without doing something big...

Henry thought about it and decided to continue to strengthen his military strength. The military is powerful, and it is arrogant wherever it goes! Just now the acquisition of Westinghouse has met Northrop Grumman, so buy Northrop Grumman, lest it hinder its own acquisition.

Northrop Grumman, as a top ten military manufacturer in the United States, can just enhance the strength of Lockheed Martin! Before Northrop Grumman acquired the newport-News shipyard, it was the largest radar manufacturer, and the "Global Hawk" unmanned aerial vehicle they will manufacture in the future is famous and is the most advanced unmanned aerial vehicle in the United States and even the world. !

In addition to the Global Hawk drone, Northrop Grumman built the B2 stealth bomber, nicknamed the "Phantom." The Ghost B-2 is currently the only stealth strategic bomber in the world. A cost of 2.4 billion US dollars. The US Air Force claims that it has "global reach" and "global destruction" capabilities, which is indeed extremely terrifying!

In some respects, Lockheed Martin has to resign, but in terms of overall strength, Lockheed Martin is still a lot stronger.

In the early years, the famous U-2 reconnaissance plane can be said to sweep the world. It is flying over your airspace, and you have nothing to do with it. The Soviet lackey~~ shit luck, once killed a U-2 reconnaissance plane, and then the whole country celebrated it...

Over time, the U-2 reconnaissance aircraft gradually fell behind. Countries around the world think they have developed new missiles and high-speed fighter jets that can be intercepted. As a result, Lockheed produced the SR-71 reconnaissance aircraft not long after, and all countries in the world were finished again, all exposed to the monitoring of the SR-71 reconnaissance aircraft, and there was nothing else to do... However, only one country, the Soviet Union, was excluded. The Soviet Union also produced a "black technology" product - Mig25, a monster that can rival the speed of SR-71!

In addition to Lockheed's excellent reconnaissance aircraft, the fighter jets are also a complete mess. The F-22 Raptor stealth fighter, currently under development, will be the world's best integrated combat fighter, as well as the world's most expensive and advanced fighter. It is the hegemon of the world's heavy fighter jets and the most important armed force of the US Air Force in the early 21st century! ! !

In the previous life, in 1997, the two companies, Lockheed Martin and Northrop Grumman, were preparing to merge. Once successful, the new company would become a super giant in the field of fighter jets! But the merger of the two companies was too awesome, and the US government finally blocked the plan!

At this moment, Henry decided to realize the dream that Lockheed Martin had never fulfilled!
