681 Bunge enters the United States
As we all know, before the 90s, it belonged to the period of hegemony between the United States and the Soviet Union, and Bunge, as one of the four major international grain merchants, was still able to develop steadily and stably.
However, with the disintegration of the former Soviet Union, US imperialism has become the only superpower in the world today, although the strength of a country depends on all-round development such as industrial and economic strength, but grain is undoubtedly the foundation of a country, as the so-called 'no agriculture is unstable'.
As for the scale of the four major grain merchants, there is no doubt that he has done it related to the stability of the country's people's livelihood, and it is said that Wal-Mart is related to millions of families in the United States, but compared with the international grain giants of the size of the four major grain merchants, the impact is still too bad.
For example, Cargill and ADM, the two major food bureau heads in the United States, this is a problem related to the food of most people in the United States, and the influence of such giants is too great, and Bunge is undoubtedly the same, but Bunge does not have a strong backer behind it.
ADM, Bunge, Cargill (Cargill), Louis Dreyfus, commonly known as ABCD, ADM, Cargill belong to the grain merchants of the United States, backed by the superpower of the United States, naturally invincible, Louis Dafu, just listen to the name, is a French grain giant, backed by France, Europe, and an ally of the United States.
Only Bunge, which started in the Netherlands and is currently headquartered in South America, does not have a strong government backer, to put it bluntly, this backer is best backed by the five rogue giants, and the rest are not used, and it is best to be the United States.
However, the United States itself has two giants among the four major grain merchants, and their strength is slightly better than that of Bunge, so it naturally puts Bunge at a disadvantage in the international grain business competition, and even the gap is further widening.
……
It was under such circumstances that Bunge registered a holding company in the tax haven as early as 94 (to note, the four major grain merchants seemed to be non-listed companies in the 90s) and made the decision to find a stable and strong backer to influence the company's decision-making.
Naturally, if a giant like Bunge wants to make a final decision, it is not simple to make up his mind immediately, and it also involves the game of various countries, after all, a food giant like you is related to the lives of most ordinary people around the world.
Now it is almost certain that Bunge is preparing to relocate its headquarters to the United States, and now it is inspecting the location of the headquarters, and the United States has won the final victory. After all, Bunge's base camp is in South America and Latin America, and South America and Latin America are undoubtedly the backyard of the United States.
Although it has been decided to move its headquarters to the United States, it also means that the competition is further fierce, after all, there are already two giants in the United States, and you are the three giants when you come in.
Then Bunge wants to gain a foothold in the United States, naturally needs to find allies, there is no doubt that Li Feng is a very suitable ally, in the United States suddenly rose, the foundation is shallow, although young but with leapfrog super development, has become a new force in the United States, it is almost time.
Similarly, it is naturally impossible for Bunge to find allies to say that it is just one Li Feng, and many American consortia will be pulled into the chariot by Bunge in the same boat, especially the Wall Street consortium, although this result may be that Bunge will no longer belong to the Bunge family in the end, but for the sake of Bunge's future, Bunge and the family behind the scenes have no choice but to pinch their noses and admit it.
If you want to say, is there any better place to look for allies in the United States than Wall Street, there is no doubt that the two bigwigs of Bunge appeared here at this time, not just for Li Feng, maybe for Wall Street to find allies, and Li Feng just happened to be there.
……
For Bunge, Li Feng has only heard in later generations that the four major grain merchants monopolize more than 80% of the world's grain trade, and each company's annual revenue is at least 10 billion US dollars, and even more than hundreds of billions of dollars, which is really terrifying.
In fact, it is also the case, now Bunge is looking around in the United States, preparing to choose the company's new headquarters, and looking for strong allies in the United States, Wall Street is naturally part of the most important allies, and looking for some wealthy families in the United States to enter, is also one of Bunge's strategies, and Li Feng happened to meet a good time.
For many Wall Street conglomerates, Bunge is naturally a very tasty and delicious prey, and this prey is delivered to the door personally, so there is no reason to let it go.
Historically, after Bunge moved to the United States, he chose to go public in the third year, why did he not go public for the past 200 years, and chose to go public as soon as he moved to the United States.
If Li Feng knew this, he might guess that there was no doubt that after Bunge chose to move his headquarters to the United States, he must have received requests from his allies in the process of searching for allies. If you want me to back you up for Bunge, you can come up with real benefits.
For Wall Street consortia, in addition to getting a part of Bunge's shares, there is also the listing circle money, which is the old business of Wall Street consortia, and the profits obtained by the listing circle money wave are huge, after all, the name of the four major grain merchants is not blown.
For example, Bunge, 98 years of revenue close to 20 billion US dollars, although the profit of the grain company is indeed low, the net profit is between 1-2%, but it can not stand the revenue value, and the grain company is not only looking at the income, but also huge influence and potential super value.
Controlling a global grain giant is not just about controlling a few shares or a wave of money on the stock market for Wall Street, you must know that every move of the four major grain merchants is related to global grain trade and food prices.
The fluctuation of food prices represents huge interests in the futures market, and these are the old business of Wall Street, so to speak, controlling a giant like the four major grain merchants is a dream for Wall Street consortiums.
……
Before Bunge's two bigwigs came forward to invite Li Feng to become a director of Bunge, Li Feng's first reaction in his heart was that only one director was not satisfied, it was better to enter the board of directors and have shares, be able to participate in Bunge affairs, and have a certain right to speak.
After all, Li Feng has heard of the names of the four major grain merchants of Bunge, and entering the board of directors of Bunge and having a certain right to speak not only represents the interests of participating in the Bunge company itself, but also has huge influence, etc., which are all needed by Li Feng.
In any case, when the two bigwigs of Bunge left, Li Feng also temporarily put down his mind, after all, if he really wants to join Bunge, he also needs detailed planning, investigating the situation of Bunge, etc., to achieve all-round consideration.
They also said before that if there is a chance to come to visit, let's wait for a detailed exchange after they come to the door.
