With so many members of Blackwater, eating became a problem. In addition, the Williams Center has been built, and Henry is planning to let his company 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 around the world, and there are even more people in the factories. Therefore, it is extremely necessary for Henry to have a grain company.

Charles Toney, the head of the "Williams Think Tank", a think tank established by Henry, came to Williams Manor and suggested to Henry to buy the grain company.

At present, the world's grain is basically controlled by the four major grain merchants. Whether people want to believe it or not, the four major grain merchants control 80 percent of the world's grain trade, and they alone have the power to set prices! Some people say, "If you control grain, you control mankind!" Although this statement is biased, there is some truth in it.

Today, global food shortages, plummeting production, and excessively rapid price increases have led to 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 human beings to last for 100 days.

Countries around the world attach great importance to food, and the "concept of food security" was formally proposed at the first World Food Summit held in November 1974. In November this year, the Second World Food Summit was held, and the "concept of food security" was once again reintroduced, which shows the importance of food security!

Speaking of these four major grain merchants, they are ADM of the United States, Bunge of the United States, Cargill of the United States, and Louis Dreyfus of France. If you control one of the grain merchants, then Henry's global voice will be greatly improved!

"Mr. Williams, grain is of paramount importance, and I propose to buy one of the four major grain merchants!" Charles Tony then gave Henry a detailed account of the four major grain merchants.

Among the four major grain merchants, ADM has always been known for its focus on research and development. As a result, Henry preferred ADM.

However, the four major grain merchants are all very wealthy lords, and they make a lot of money every year in the grain field! Therefore, it is by no means ordinary to acquire such a company. No way, who makes the world always not enough to eat, and if the food company doesn't make money, who does?

"Charles Tony, you inform Smith, the head of the acquisition team, to ask him to buy Adami!" Henry said to Charles Tony after a moment of contemplation.

"Yes, Mr. Williams!"

Henry has a large-scale, very professional acquisition team, the full name is "Williams Acquisition Services", but people give it the nickname "Global Buy", and Smith serves as CEO.

On the day Henry instructed, Smith launched a takeover of Adami, and Adami quickly replied that if Henry agreed to buy Adami at a valuation of $45 billion, then Adami's shareholders were willing to accept the acquisition. Smith shook his head when he heard this, Adami's market value is only more than 15 billion, but now he wants Henry to spend $45 billion to buy it, which is inevitably a lion's mouth. Even if it's a premium, it can't be three times higher!

"The premium is fine, but do you think it's appropriate to pay a premium of 3 times?" Smith said in an unhappy tone.

"Hehe, what's wrong with it?" said Hank Morley, CEO of Adami, "Adami has a monopoly on the grain market with three other grain companies, and you must know that the monopoly company is the most profitable company." So, you can't estimate the market value of Adammi entirely by its share price! If Henry Williams wants to buy it, he has to bid $45 billion. Hehe, besides, doesn't he have $400 billion? $45 billion is just a small amount of money to him!"

No matter what Smith and the others say, the other party insists that at this price, they love to buy it or not!

Smith then called Henry to report the situation.

Smith said: "Mr. Williams, Adammi has no negotiation sincerity, wants us to buy it at three times the price, and does not back down at all, I don't think they plan to sell the company!"

"If Adammi doesn't want to sell, then you can find three other companies and see which company's offer is more suitable!"

"Okay!"

Smith immediately launched acquisitions from three other grain merchants, but Bunge of the United States and Louis Dreyfus Company of France also quoted three times the market value, while Cargill, which was not listed, flatly rejected Henry's acquisition 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 in vain.

Charles Toni and Smith came to Williams Manor this time.

After Smith reported to Henry, Charles Tony said, "Mr. Williams, the Big Four are not willing to sell the company, and I propose to terminate the acquisition!"

Henry nodded, deciding not to buy any of the Big Four grain merchants. The four major grain merchants are awesome, control the world's grain, and engage in monopoly, so I will break your monopoly! Henry said, "Since they are not willing to sell, then we will set up a grain company ourselves." $45 billion could build a world-class grain company, so why buy them!"

"Yes, that's right. Charles Tony nodded and said to Henry, "Actually, we have an inherent advantage in building a grain company -- that is, we have a huge population base, and five or six million people around the world are working for you, Mr. Williams. This is an ability that no other grain company can have. With this alone, the grain company will be invincible, and then go and carve up the market of other grain companies!"

Henry couldn't help but laugh when he heard this: "The four major grain merchants are really to blame, adding a powerful enemy to themselves! Hehe, AMD only makes a profit of more than one billion dollars a year, and the grain company is just a small amount of money to me." If I don't make money, I'm going to kill the four of them!" Henry had seen a lot of news in his previous life, and the four major grain merchants were simply cold-blooded and ruthless profiteers, who would rather have their food rotten than give a bite of food to those who were about to starve to death!

This kind of unscrupulous profiteer must be taught a good lesson!

Henry turned to Smith and said, "From now on, you will go to South America, Canada, Australia and other places for me to buy a large number of farms, and I will hire a large number of farmers to farm for me!

"Yes!!" Smith replied aloud.

The corners of Henry's mouth rose, and he said secretly, develop excellent seeds for farmers to plant, low cost, high yield, low price, the four major grain merchants must not be "********"!

"Go ahead, act as soon as possible!" Henry said with a smile.

"Hmm!"

Smith and Charles Tony immediately bid farewell to Henry.
