Chapter 234 Someone Wants to Be a Fish Again(1/3)
Chapter 234 Someone wants to be a fish again
In 2000, the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute (SIPRI) selected the top ten North American military enterprises.
That is to say, among the top ten military industrial companies in the United States, 9 are listed companies.
Looking through the financial reports of these companies, their business is not the "military industry concept stocks" that big cancer stocks are familiar with.
They are genuine weapons, arms, fire, manufacturers or defense suppliers - directly producing aircraft carriers, fighter planes, tanks, submarines and guided eggs.
And now in 2001, the market value of those nine listed companies does not seem to be high.
Like the famous Lockheed Martin, its market value on the stock market at this time is even less than 10 billion US dollars.
And if someone actually buys its shares on the New York Stock Exchange, they can easily do so.
But this does not mean that you can really spend 10 billion US dollars to buy this company.
Because once someone finds out you're on the New York Stock Exchange, buy a lot of Lockheed shares.
Then you will be blocked soon.
The U.S. Department of Commerce or other departments will step forward and sanction you on a charge of "obstructing U.S. national security."
Then the shares you buy in companies such as Lockheed Martin must be sold to relevant companies or families at low prices in accordance with the requirements of these relevant departments.
Dare to refuse?
ClA or FlA is dispatched.
Therefore, if the United States wants to become a member of the military-industrial complex, it cannot be achieved by buying a large number of their stocks.
First of all, you must get the admission ticket. Only with the admission ticket can you pass the relevant departments, or to put it bluntly, it is the permission of Huasheng Dun.
Only then can we really enter the market and control or influence these giants.
Otherwise, less than 10% of the shares are mainly for investment purposes.
Ordinary Americans and companies in the United States can buy it.
Once foreigners or more than 10% of the shares are held, Washington or Capitol Hill will immediately enter the market.
Abel is not sure if he currently has this ticket.
He thinks there is a high probability that there is no such thing.
Because the person who issued this ticket was not Capitol Hill or DC.
Of course it can't be Wall Street.
In fact, in this country, the only one qualified to issue admission tickets to this complex is the building with five corners.
Military-industrial complex, military-industrial complex.
It is the army that is in front of the workers, but it is not that the workers are in front of the army.
In front of this monster, even the Bush family currently has no admission ticket.
Abel especially wanted to earn $1,500 for a coffee cup and more than $1 million for a goat.
He's trying to get the ticket.
Previously, he wanted to go through rock security. Now he thinks he might be able to go through companies like Gulfstream Aerospace.
But so far, he has not taken a step out.
Fortunately, Abel had already asked Rock Security to prepare.
By next year at the latest, we hope to get in touch with the real Godzilla in the United States through rock security.
This is something I won’t mention for the time being.
Three aircraft from Boeing and Gulfstream Aerospace, five to be exact.
There are also two Gulfstream G400s provided by Gulfstream for free use.
There is no problem with their inspections, and their safety and flightability have also passed inspections.
After receiving the goods.
With a wave of his hand, Abel changed hands and leased the Boeing 747 to Smith Capital.
The friendship price is US$10 million per year.
Its maintenance costs are borne by Smith Capital.
He changed his hands again, and the "Annie" Gulfstream G400 was leased to MGM.
The friendship price is two million US dollars a year, and MGM is responsible for maintenance fees and other expenses.
As for the "Jessica", he leased it to Pacific Electric Company of California, with the same conditions as MGM.
The advantage of doing this is that he can receive at least US$14 million in rent per year.
These rentals were transferred directly to a newly established aircraft leasing company under his name.
Three aircraft are also owned by this company.
In addition, he and the aircraft leasing company are not responsible for the annual maintenance fees and fuel costs of the three aircraft.
All these expenses will be borne by the company under his name.
This approach may seem a bit rogue, but it was not the first of its kind.
Nor was it created by the merchants of later generations of the Celestial Dynasty.
It is a model that has been around since the emergence of private jets decades ago.
Except for the rich people over there in the desert.
Most of the wealthy people in Europe and the United States who own private jets do not actually own their private jets themselves.
Abel just learned their model directly.
Then, as the chairman of these companies, he will assign the rights to use these aircraft.
It's that simple.
Jessica took delivery of the plane on May 1st.
The next day, I couldn't wait to board her "Jessica" and fly directly to Los Angeles.
Her "007" has just been filmed, and MGM has a new script.
She wanted to go and have a look.
But this is most likely an excuse. She probably still wants to try her own private jet.
She wants to make headlines in Hollywood.
There is no doubt that a lot of news related to the Jessica private jet appeared in many Hollywood media and newspapers the next day.
This made Annie, who was filming in Queens, immediately rush over to find Abel.
Then the next day, "Annie" also made some Hollywood headlines
May 5th.
After it stopped raining for more than a week, it started to rain again in New York.
8 East 63rd Street, Upper East Side, Manhattan.
In the love nest of Ikana and Abel.
"Ah dear, let me go."
"Paris is still outside. We also made an appointment to watch a fashion show together in the evening."
"Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo hot"
"Angang!"
"."
In the morning, in the master bedroom on the third floor.
Ikana let out a cry like a dying struggle.
Then she fell down limply, like a fish that had its bones removed.
Abel kissed her on her smooth and white forehead, smiled and went into the bathroom to wash up and change her clothes.
When he arrived at the restaurant on the second floor, he saw the pure and beautiful Paris again.
The Paris Hilton of this time and space.
Maybe it's because of the butterfly effect.
She did not go to the parallel time and space, where in order to pursue fame, she had to become more and more debauched, and in the end she was probably addicted.
Paris in this time and space also likes to live in the spotlight.
But she chose a different approach from parallel time and space.
She chose to become real best friends with Ikana.
