Soviet Godfather

　　 All of Xie Liaosha's understanding of Monsanto came from a documentary about food safety in later generations called "Food Factory". This documentary gave Xie Wenlong a new understanding of the American food industry.

　　What kind of company Monsanto will become in the future, Xie Liaosha knows this from memory. In the era of Sergei Sha, Monsanto has become an unparalleled giant in the seed industry, and can be called the Microsoft company in the gene industry. Why compare with Microsoft? Just like in the PC era, Microsoft owns nearly 80% of the intellectual property rights of software on personal PCs. The same is true for Monsanto. They develop new crop seeds by modifying and creating genes. Monsanto has complete intellectual property rights over these genes. The seeds will blossom and bear fruit when they are planted in the ground. Even if these genes are spread to neighbors’ land through pollen, Monsanto has the right to sue these completely passive farmers.

　　In the future, corn and soybean seeds without Monsanto genes will no longer be seen in the US market. The growers are threatened by lawyers even when they clean their seeds. Moreover, Monsanto's seeds are absolutely powerful. With their company's roundup glyphosate herbicide, it can clear almost all plants in the field except corn and soybeans.

　　 But now, the company's reputation is only limited to the chemical field, but they obviously have begun to enter the seed production industry. Just last year, they just acquired the famous soybean breeding company seed company.

　　 Xie Liaosha, if you want more detailed information from Monsanto, then you only need to entrust a consulting company to do the investigation. Kalim has done a good job in several acquisitions during this period, but if you look at the future, Monsanto must be in control. Because in future generations, Monsanto will allow the world's planters to surrender to his feet.

　　 The conversation between Sergey and Kalim did not last long, because Sergey was on vacation in the name of work, so these annoying things were left to the people below to do it. When there is a detailed plan, it is not too late for Sergey to intervene.

　　 In the next few days, the other two wives of Xie Liaosha also rushed to Vancouver to meet him, and their family enjoyed the life of drunkenness. However, the employees of the investment department of the Romanov Trading Company are so busy that they can hardly even take care of their meals. Because there is too much work, first of all, a series of problems caused by the newly acquired Dakota Pasta Growers Company. Because the Saskatchewan Wheat Consortium also has some US operations, the two companies must be Only by making a series of adjustments can competition within the group be avoided. Although these things are simple to say, it may take nearly half a year to do them. The second is the board of directors of the Canadian Fertilizer Company. Although Kalim has a third of the right to speak, Kalim actually wants to completely acquire this company. Therefore, in the board of the Canadian Fertilizer Company, Romanov Trading Company must find allies who can support the acquisition plan to support itself. In addition, can the Canadian Fertilizer Company's products be provided to the Saskatchewan Wheat Consortium at a more favorable price The farmer served by Dakota Pasta Growers Company also needs further negotiation.

　　Before the acquisition of Monsanto, there are still some things that must be done. The first thing is to clarify the current operating conditions of Monsanto, the shareholding structure and other issues. Monsanto is still only one of the top ten chemical companies in the United States, and it is still an unlisted private company. In this case, there is very little publicly available market information. However, Niub's consulting company still brought Sergey a detailed investigation report.

　　 According to the report, Monsanto is still in the hands of the founders, the Quinnyi family and the Monsanto family. As long as the shares in these two families are secured, the rest will be much easier. While Kalim was still worried about how to contact the other party, Griffiths, the former CEO of Dakota Pasta Growers, volunteered to stand up and asked Ying Ying to meet with each other on behalf of the Romanov Commercial Company. Kalim knew that this was Griffith's proactive behavior in order to stay in office. That's good, the original management retention is conducive to the stability of the acquired company, so Kalim decided to give him this opportunity.

　　 Griffith with the mission personally traveled from North Dakota to St. Louis, Missouri, and visited Monsanto’s management in person. The two parties sat down to negotiate the acquisition for the first time.

. Griffith lowered the price authorized by Kalim a little and gave the other party a price. The other party's ceo saw this price, his expression did not change, and he just asked:

"Mr. Griffith, I want to know why your agricultural company is interested in a chemical company like ours, and with your company's existing scale, it is still an all-cash acquisition. I am worried about whether your company can provide such a More funds?" Monsanto’s CEO said unceremoniously~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Although we are an agricultural company, more than half of the growers in North Dakota and South Dakota are our customers. , We have a huge demand for your company's roundup (Nongda). In order to better serve our customers, we hope to have our own pesticide production capacity! "Griffith prevarication.

"I am still more curious about your company's financing ability. After all, the price you gave is as high as tens of billions, and your company's market value is less than this number. I am curious about your financing ability!" Monsanto's CEO asked indifferently .

　　 "I have a credit certificate from Rothschild Bank, which is enough to prove that our financing ability is no problem! And our guarantor is Yota Communications!" Griffith retorted indifferently.

　　 "Yota communication? The yota communication that sells mobile phones?" the other party asked incredulously.

"Yes, Yota Communications will provide guarantee for our financing this time! Can I discuss some substantive issues with you now?" Griffith said angrily, and the other party looked down upon it again and again. I myself, even those who have good qualities will be angry.

"Okay, Mr. Griffith! I can take your acquisition seriously now, and I will submit your acquisition request to our board of directors! We will notify you when we have a conclusion. This paragraph Please stay in St. Louis at time. You can visit our company first, and we will be responsible for entertaining you!" Monsanto’s ceo immediately changed his attitude towards Griffith.
