Scott proposed such an objective for a simple reason, to prevent the Arican Governnt from obtaining Boeing’s aircraft technology.
As one of the earliest companies to believe that biplanes had no future, Boeing had already made so progress in the research and developnt of monoplanes.
Although only Arthur knew about the future developnt of Boeing, the current Boeing Company was still one of the famous aircraft manufacturers in the United States.
If it was possible to acquire Boeing’s technology and completely deprive the Arican People of Boeing, even spending 10 million US dollars would be totally worth it.
Because for the United States to once again obtain the technology developed by Boeing, it would be impossible without investing tens of millions of US dollars in their own research and developnt.
Moreover, considering the cost of human resources and ti, this would significantly reduce the United States’ tiline for obtaining advanced aircraft, delaying their progress in aviation technology.
Furthermore, considering Boeing’s advantages in aircraft design, rging Boeing’s technology with that of the Royal Aircraft Manufacturing Factory in Australasia, would result in even more powerful new-generation military aircraft.
With the addition of Boeing’s aircraft designers and builders, Australasia’s capabilities in aircraft research and developnt and production would be further strengthened.
This strategy, which not only enhances one’s own path but also weakens that of the United States, would be totally worth spending much more than the market value of Boeing at the strategic level.
"Relocating the headquarters?" William Edward Boeing was sowhat stunned. In his view, as a military aircraft company, relocating headquarters during an economic crisis was absolutely not an appropriate business strategy.
Securing military orders was not simply determined by the location of the headquarters. Besides having good performance and paper data for its aircraft, pleasing the military procurent officers was also necessary.
If relocating the headquarters did not bring inco or profit, then William Edward Boeing saw no need for it.
"Of course," Scott said with a smile, nodding his head and explained with a aningful tone, "Let introduce myself, Mr. Boeing. My nationality is Australasian, and if I were to acquire Boeing, the headquarters would most likely move to Australasia.
Of course, I welco those willing to go to Australasia, and they would enjoy the sa salaries as in the United States. Please rest assured, the Labor Law in Australasia is very well established, you don’t have to worry about jobs, and military orders will be continuous."
Hearing that Scott ca from Australasia, William Edward Boeing instantly understood the previous requirents Scott had made about not selling or transferring the technology and finished products, or parts, of the aircraft without permission.
William Edward Boeing had not expected his company to be involved in national competition and was slightly surprised. After pondering for a mont, he then asked, "Mr. Scott, could you tell why you want to acquire Boeing? Or, why did you co to Boeing in the first place?"
The current William Edward Boeing was not bold enough to assu that his Boeing Company was the largest aircraft manufacturer in the United States.
The famous Wright Brothers were born in the United States, leading to a multitude of aircraft manufacturers in the country.
While so aircraft manufacturers were not as large as Boeing, it did not an that Boeing dominated in the United States alone.
There were many aircraft manufacturers of the sa size as Boeing, so even larger, and Australasia could have chosen a much larger company.
"It’s because we trust your research and developnt capabilities and technology," Scott explained with a smile. "To be honest, acquiring your company is His Majesty the King’s wish. His Majesty the King is very optimistic about the future of Boeing and is willing to strongly support your company.
If you are willing to move to Australasia, you will beco the Military’s second-largest aircraft supplier, and Australasia’s aircraft technology will also be open to you."
Such a promise from Scott was indeed real since, besides the Royal Aircraft Manufacturing Factory, there were no other sizable aircraft manufacturers in Australasia for the ti being.
Plainly put, current aircraft were very costly to produce. Moreover, the Australasian Military was not interested in low-level aircraft; the Royal Aircraft Manufacturing Factory gathered the aviation and dynamics talent that Arthur had recruited at great expense, and its aircraft were undoubtedly among the world’s most advanced.
While this was good for the country in a military sense, it also indirectly curtailed the developnt of the aircraft industry.
This led to no private aircraft company in Australasia being significant enough to catch the Military’s attention, with most being on a small scale.
Naturally, William Edward Boeing was not aware of this insider information and was quite surprised by Arthur’s high regard for Boeing.
After all, Arthur was a sovereign of a country, and moreover, one with real power. The developnt of Australasia over the past two decades had caused envy in the United States, which also made Arthur’s reputation almost globally renowned, eventually becoming acknowledged as the greatest Monarch of the 20th century.

William II and Nicholas II, who could compete with Arthur for this title, were defeated by war. King Edward VII had too short a reign, King George V was forced to change his last na and lacked support from the European royal family, which naturally settled Arthur comfortably into this renowned position.
