Silicon Valley
Vol 2 Chapter 386: Kill the profiteer! ! !
With so many members in the Blackwater Company, eating has become a problem. In addition, the Williams Center has been built, and Henry is planning to let the company under his name begin to move in. There are dozens of these companies, and the total number of employees is hundreds of thousands, and food has become a problem. And there are many factories all over the world, and there are even more people in the factories. Therefore, it is extremely necessary for Henry to own a grain company.
The think tank established by Henry Charles Tony, the head of the "Williams Think Tank", came to Williams Manor and suggested to Henry to buy a grain company.
At present, the global food is basically controlled by the four major grain merchants. Whether people want to believe it or not, the four major grain merchants control 80% of the world's grain trading volume, and only they have the right to set prices! Some people say, "Controlling food is equivalent to controlling humans!" Although these words are biased, they also have a certain truth.
Today, global food shortages, sharp declines in production, and excessive price increases have caused more than 1 billion hungry people in the world. However, the world's grain reserves are only 950 million tons, which is only enough for humans to maintain for 100 days.
Countries in the world attach great importance to food, and the "food security concept" was formally put forward at the first World Food Summit held in November 1974. Just in November of this year, the second World Food Summit was held, and the "concept of food security" was reintroduced again, showing the importance of food security!
Speaking of the four major grain merchants are Adami ADM of the United States, Bunge of the United States, Cargill of the United States, and Louis Dreyfus of France, people are used to calling these four "ABCD" based on the first letter of their names. . Controlling one of the grain merchants, then Henry's global voice will be greatly improved!
"Mr. Williams, food is very important. I suggest buying one of the four major grain merchants!" Charles Tony then gave Henry a detailed introduction to the four major grain merchants.
Among the four major grain merchants, ADM has always been known for focusing on research and development. Therefore, Henry prefers ADM.
However, the four major grain merchants are all wealthy owners. They turn their hands in the grain field for the clouds and rain, and earn a lot of money every year! Therefore, the difficulty of acquiring such a company is by no means ordinary. There is no way, who makes the world's food always insufficient, and who does not make money for food companies?
"Charles Tony, you inform Smith, the person in charge of the acquisition team, to let him acquire Adami!" Henry pondered for a moment and said to Charles Tony.
"Okay, Mr. Williams!" Killing Arena
Henry has a large-scale and very professional acquisition team. The full name is "Williams Acquisition Service Company", but he was given the nickname "Global Buy" and Smith was the CEO.
On the day Henry ordered to go down, Smith initiated an acquisition from Adami, and Adami quickly responded. If Henry agrees to acquire Adami at a valuation of US$45 billion, then Adami's shareholders are willing to accept the acquisition. . Smith shook his head. Adami's market value was only more than 15 billion, but now he wants Henry to spend 45 billion US dollars on the acquisition, and the lion has opened his mouth. Even if it is a premium, it cannot be tripled!
"Premium is fine, but 3 times the premium, do you think it is appropriate?" Smith said in a rather uncomfortable tone.
"Hehe, why is it inappropriate?" Adami's ceo Hank Morley laughed. "Adammy Company monopolizes the grain market together with the other three grain companies. You must know that the monopolistic company is the most profitable company. So, you can’t estimate Adami’s market value entirely by stock price! If Henry Williams wants to buy, he must bid 45 billion US dollars. Hehe, besides, doesn’t he have 400 billion US dollars? 45 billion US dollars to him In terms, it's just a small amount of money!"
No matter what Smith and the others said, the other party insisted that at this price, they would like to buy or not!
Smith then called Henry and told him about the situation.
Smith said: "Mr. Williams, Adami has no sincerity in negotiations. They want us to buy three times the price without giving in at all. I don't think they intend to sell the company!"
"If Adami doesn't want to sell, then you can find three other companies and see which company offers more suitable offers!"
"Ok!"
Smith immediately initiated acquisitions from three other grain merchants, but Bunge of the United States and Louis Dreyfus of France also quoted prices three times the market value, while Cargill of the United States, which was not listed, simply rejected Henry's purchase request.
The four major grain merchants made it clear that they did not want to sell to Henry, and Smith obviously had no choice but to return.
Charles Tony came to Williams Manor with Smith this time. Broken Star Story
After Smith reported to Henry, Charles Tony said: "Mr. Williams, the four major grain merchants are not willing to sell the company. I suggest that the acquisition plan be terminated!"
Henry nodded and decided not to buy any of the four major grain merchants. The four major grain merchants are so powerful that they control global food and engage in monopoly. Then, I will break your monopoly! Henry said, "Since they are unwilling to sell, then we will build a grain company by ourselves. You can build a world-class grain company for $45 billion, so why buy them!"
"Yes, that's right." Charles Tony nodded and said to Henry, "In fact, we have an inherent advantage in establishing a food company-that is, we have a huge population base, and five or six million people around the world are working for William. Mr. Muss, if you work, we can establish a grain company and immediately have a market. This is an ability that no other grain company can have. Based on this, the grain company can be invincible, and then Go to carve up the markets of other grain companies!"
Henry heard this and couldn't help laughing: "The four major grain merchants really took the blame and added a powerful enemy to themselves! Ha ha, AMD only makes more than one billion U.S. dollars a year in profit. To me, the grain company is just a small amount of money~www .readwn.com~I just don’t make money, so I will kill the four of them!” Henry’s previous life has read a lot of news. The four major grain merchants are simply cold-blooded profiteers. I would rather the grain rot than never Give a bite of food to those who are about to starve to death!
Such unscrupulous profiteers must be taught a lesson!
Henry turned his head and said to Smith: "From now on, you will go to South America, Canada, Australia and other places to buy a large number of farms for me. I will hire a large number of farmers to plant for me! In addition, pay close attention to Monsanto and Pioneer Seed. When the time came, these two companies were acquired together!"
"Yes!!!" Smith responded loudly.
The corner of Henry's mouth raised, secretly, to develop excellent seeds for farmers to plant, low cost, high yield, low prices, the four major grain merchants must not be made ""!
"Go, act as soon as possible!" Henry smiled.
"Ok!"
Smith and Charles Tony said goodbye to Henry immediately.
