 Chapter 3217 Full Acquisition

When Steve returned to the banquet hall, his father Howard had not come back yet.

After he sat down, Howard came back with the pill in his pocket, feeling both happy and sad.

Steve kept staring at his father's face, trying to see if he had become younger after meeting Helena in private. If so, it would prove that he must have received Charlie's pill from Helena.

But strangely, his father looked no different from ten minutes ago.

He couldn't help but think to himself: "Father is so concerned about Northern Europe this time, can't he get a pill from Charlie?"

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel a little happy. He felt that Charlie didn't give his father the pill, but met him in private. Maybe he was going to increase his bargaining chips on him in the future?

He didn't know that the half pill was being kept very carefully by his father.

Although Howard couldn't wait to take it, in order to take care of his eldest son's emotions, he decided to take the pill back to the United States and wait for Steve to go to China, and then find a suitable opportunity to take the pill.

At this time, Helena had not returned to the banquet hall yet. After Howard sat down, he whispered to Steve: "Let's go back early tomorrow morning. There are still many things waiting for me to deal with at home. Don't you also want to go back and prepare as soon as possible and set off for China as soon as possible?"

Steve nodded and said, "I will follow my father's arrangements."

As he spoke, Steve remembered Charlie's instructions and said, "By the way, father, after returning to New York, I have to go to Houston. I want to acquire a remote sensing satellite company and hope you can approve it."

Steve knew in his heart that the remote sensing satellite company that Charlie wanted was worth only three or four billion US dollars, but he had not yet become the patriarch of the family. This kind of acquisition must not be carried out without the authorization of the family, otherwise it would be easy for his father to think that he did not take him as the patriarch seriously.

This is different from investing in China. This time, my father promised to let me manage a 50 billion investment fund. Since my father has given me the right to decide, I can invest the 50 billion in China at will. But if I spend the 50 billion investment in China elsewhere, my father will definitely be dissatisfied.

Therefore, he must first obtain his father's consent before he can acquire the company openly.

Howard was a little surprised for a while. He asked Steve puzzledly: "Why do you suddenly want to acquire a remote sensing satellite company? This kind of company should not be of much help to our existing business, right?" 

Steve explained seriously: "Father, I think that the satellite field will definitely be a huge market in the future. We are a little late to enter the market now and missed Musk's company, so I want to acquire a related company first to practise and get familiar with satellite-related businesses and upstream and downstream industries, including satellite manufacturing and satellite launch."

Howard said lightly: "Satellite industry, it's too late. No matter how profitable this industry is, it can't make money like oil and finance, and it's not as stable as the latter."

Seeing that Howard didn't seem to be very interested, Steve hurriedly said: "Father, the company I plan to acquire is estimated to be worth at most 5 billion US dollars. I know that this industry cannot be compared with energy and finance, but I still want to give it a try. I hope you can approve it."

Howard thought for a moment when he heard that it was only 5 billion US dollars. He said, "Since you have this idea to explore more, I, as a father, should also give you more support. Just go ahead and do it. I will increase the budget for you. You can make your own decision within 10 billion US dollars."

Howard was gradually relieved about Steve. Sometimes he even felt that his son was too sensible, so he really wanted to treat him better. Since his son wanted to do something he was interested in, he would give him more help, which would be considered as compensation.

Steve was waiting for this statement from his father.

He knew very well that in his current situation, as long as his requirements were not outrageous and the funds used did not make his father feel distressed, his father would definitely give him the green light.

With Howard's words, Steve planned to go back and discuss the acquisition with the remote sensing satellite company first. After the acquisition details were finalised, he would let his subordinates complete the follow-up matters, and he would go to China as soon as possible to report to Charlie.

…

After the father and son left the palace and returned to the hotel, Steve returned to his room and arranged for his confidant to contact the remote sensing satellite company that Charlie wanted immediately.

At this time, it is necessary to cut the Gordian knot, contact, negotiate and complete as soon as possible.

It just so happens that I can take this opportunity to show Charlie my ability to do things.

This remote sensing satellite company has not been doing very well for many years. Their main revenue comes from providing data authorization to companies around the world that need satellite maps, just like navigation companies sell their own map authorizations. They make a set of maps at their own cost and then sell them to companies that need map functions in their own software.

However, because they provide high-precision satellite images, the company has long been registered with the US National Security Department. The National Security Agency has many requirements and constraints on them, which will greatly limit their revenue capabilities.

For example, any enterprise that buys their satellite data can only buy the latest pictures from a few months ago. Although their satellites are constantly shooting at the world every day, the Department of Homeland Security is worried that they will leak secrets of the military and other departments when updating the latest data, and requires them to update the latest data at least six months later;

To put it bluntly, the satellite pictures taken six months ago can be opened to partners today, and the satellite pictures taken today can only be opened to partners six months later.

This leads to the lack of real-time satellite pictures, which are unattractive to a considerable number of users.

If the database is updated quickly enough, the practicality will increase exponentially, but for the US government, if the database of such a company is updated too quickly, it is also a threat to them. If the US president travels secretly, ordinary netizens can capture the president's movement trajectory through the position change of Air Force One one day later, which is absolutely intolerable.

Moreover, the United States has military operations in many countries. Take Syria for example. The US military just stole Syria's oil, and the satellite photos were seen clearly the next day. This is also unacceptable to the US military.

Therefore, in addition to the rigid regulations on timeliness, the national security department will have many other requirements. For example, the satellite images within certain coordinates must be more than two years old, and some coordinates do not allow their satellites to take any form of photography. Some coordinates must even be replaced with pictures provided by the national security department to cover up their tracks. Perhaps there are already ten nuclear missile silos in this place, but on the satellite map, it is still a deserted desert.

In addition, their database is also directly connected to the security department, and the security department checks their data at any time to prevent any possibility of leaking confidential information.

So many restrictions and shackles are like a tight hoop for this company, full of torture. Their founders and shareholders once hoped to sell the company and start a new business in an unconstrained way, but the national security department did not give them this opportunity. They stipulated that the controlling shareholder of this company must be a native American company, and the actual controller of the company must be an American for more than three generations. This restricts some potential buyers in the United States and all potential buyers outside the United States.

Not only are there requirements for controlling shareholders, but even before the company goes public, all shareholders must be companies from NATO member countries, and any current shareholders are not allowed to resell the shares of the beast species to companies in other countries outside of NATO member countries.

This means that if Charlie goes through normal channels, it would be a pipe dream to even obtain 1% of the shares of this company.

Of course, so many restrictions also make it a pipe dream for the founder of this company to cash out, because no one is interested in his company at all. After all, no one wants to buy a company that is constrained everywhere.

Just when the founder of the company felt that he would never be able to cash out in his lifetime, he suddenly received a message that the famous Rothschild family was actually interested in his humble little company! Even Rothschild wanted to acquire his company in full!
