If Neil wanted the company to get a stake in Benihan, Link would not object.

But there's no way he's going to split his current shares.

He thought for a moment and said: "Benehans' IPO will at least wait until the end of next year, or even the first half of the year after that." ”

Neil listened to what he meant, and also understood that the financial investment company could only wait until the listing if they wanted to get Benehans's shares.

He pondered for a moment and said, "I can absorb some retail investors' funds during this time." Maybe that would be more beneficial to the healthy growth of our company. "By the time Benehans goes public, the investment firm should have been able to rely on external funding to become stronger. It was also more attractive to other types of funding. "But I still want to be able to trade it over-the-counter. ”

Link didn't refuse his request again: "That's no problem!"

He rejected Neil's first request because the stake in Benehans had become more complicated. And he is preparing to group the company, and he doesn't want to complicate it at this stage. It would be troublesome to do that. Moreover, it is clear that the financial investment company does not need the original shares.

In fact, he came to Neil to talk about the integration of Benehans with other companies.

"You know a lot more about the operation of capital than I do. I would like to take Benihans as the core and merge several other companies that belong to me to form the Benihans Group. It takes a dedicated person to do it. ”

Neil felt that this decision was the best for Link's career. He said, "Need me to do it?"

"Yes, of course, Theresa Teresa. ”

Neil thought about it for a moment and said, "If you're sure it's going to be available as early as next year." I recommend that you extend this process until before going public. ”

When a company goes public, it is best to have more exposure, especially more favorable news. News such as corporate mergers is the easiest way to stimulate investors' investment.

"So I want you and Teresa to help me with this. ”

"Yes. However, I'm here in this matter, and I'm assisting Teresa!"

Link smiled and said, "In my opinion, there is no point in distinguishing between the master-slave relationship between the two of you. He paused and added. "I'm still considering a merger. However, it has been decided that the Peruvian alpaca project and the food processing industry will be merged into the Benihans Group. You also need to have a bottom in your heart. ”

Neil nodded and said, "The company in your hand is indeed the only one that is most suitable for integration." But have you ever thought about setting up a sales company?"

"Sales company?"

Benehans had a sales department of his own, so there was no need for him to set up a company dedicated to sales.

Neil doesn't think so: "Link, for Benehans, the promotion and sales of products is the key to whether it can develop to the success you want." If you separate the sales, you can stimulate their agency. And more autonomous, more flexible. He paused and said.

Link frowned and thought for a moment, and said, "What you said makes a lot of sense. I will consider your suggestion. Neil's suggestion does make sense. But he needs to evaluate the pros and cons between letting go of sales and being more flexible in selling.

Before, he wanted to have complete control over the sales, especially the seeds.

Neil didn't persuade him again, but finally said: "If you want to quickly occupy the market in other countries, it is necessary to cooperate with local seed companies." ”

Link was stunned for a moment, he really hadn't thought about the sale of seeds abroad before. Benehans' technology is not alien technology. As long as that kind of technology is recognized, governments will inevitably invest heavily in research in this area. It may only take a few years for similar high-yielding seeds to appear.

As Neil says, if he wants to take advantage of his lead in the market, the best way to do that is to work with a local seed company. Leverage their sales network to capture the largest possible market before similar technologies emerge.

With this in mind, he began to think of a company that would separate the sales department from the company and set up a company dedicated to the sale of seeds produced by the Benehans company.

And it seems that the company is about to start forming now. He needs to roll out the sales network by October next year. Therefore, the sales company should be established immediately.

After setting up a sales company, he can still control the sales of seeds from the source, and he doesn't have to worry about it getting out of control.

Seeing that he frowned and didn't speak, he said, "I'm just suggesting! If you have your own considerations, you can take me as if you haven't said it." ”

"No, I think your suggestion is very good. I'll set up a sales company!" Link said with a laugh. "If it's doing well, it might be able to work with other seed companies. ”

As long as the sales network is large enough, it is indeed possible that some seed companies will seek cooperation. Making money is secondary. Importantly, this kind of cooperation allows him to have more market information and weakens other seed marketing companies

Why wouldn't he do it?

He had been thinking about what a unified group company would look like.

He thinks about a lot of things.

Like what. Benihans' seeds are grown and processed before they can be sold. In other words, the seeds planted in the soil can maintain their shape for a long time. He couldn't have given those seeds to someone else's farm.

Benehans could, of course, buy land for the production of seeds. But he could not guarantee that no wheat would be left out of the field. The company's manpower is too complex. He could not guarantee that the wheat would not be stolen. So he can only produce on a farm that he has full control.

And a couple of his farms can come in handy. If necessary, his farm could carve out 300,000 acres of land. It is also possible to buy farms in other countries.

To say that the countries with the largest single farm, are the northern forest belt of Brazil, and Australia. Of course, there are some big farms in Africa.

However, in both Africa and Australia, most of the large farms are short of water. There is not enough water, and the impact on agriculture is huge. Perhaps it was time for him to consider where Benehans was going to buy land that could be used for farming.

It is also essential to set up subsidiaries or subsidiaries around the world. That requires a lot of investment, but it's definitely not a small investment. Some major agricultural countries must have an independent subsidiary, and may even have to cooperate with enterprises in the host country.

In addition, the main subsidiaries have their own research laboratories, so that the technology of the headquarters can be transferred naturally.

The food processing system must also follow in the footsteps of the subsidiary. And then there's the next promotion......

Now that I think about it, it seems like he needs a lot of money. I used to think it was a lot of money, but now that I calculate it, I seem to be quite nervous. However, there may be other capital to join the cooperation due to political reasons in various countries.

There is also a project to breed baby alpacas, which may be promoted next year.

He can't breed all the alpacas he needs by himself, and if he spreads some of them, he can have more seed sources. All he wants to do is the alpaca textile industry.

But in the alpaca industry, he will definitely have to do it himself. Alpaca farming can also set up a special subsidiary, which contracts with the farmer for the recycling of wool and cubs in order to concentrate all the resources in their own hands.

For the Little Llama promotion project, Link no longer wants to just control the industry, or just to make money.

It was an image project he had planned. It is used to create a good image of itself in the eyes of farmers. He is even planning to make a considerable concession to farmers in this project.

Another goal of this project is to tie the interests of the farmers who raise the alpacas more closely to him.

It was with this in mind that he decided to merge the Llama Promotion Project into Benehans.

He did that because he wanted to kill two birds with one stone. The Little Alpaca project was used to tie the farmer's interests to both him and Benihans. He might be able to use them as a talisman for the company when necessary.

It's just that he hasn't figured out how to do it yet.

After talking to Neil for a while, Link was about to leave. Claire pushed the door open and said, "Link, I heard from Anne that you're here." ”

Link asked, "Looking for me?"

"There's something you need to know what you think. Claire walked over to the desk and sat down in another seat, waiting for Link to sit down again before continuing. "Today the Texas Development Bank received an application for a loan. The applicant is a cooperative that produces green food. ”

"Then lend it to them. Link couldn't figure out what was so hard about this.

"But they want a low-interest loan like a pollution-free standard farm," Claire said. That's why the Texas Development Bank asked Ozette what he thought.

Others don't know Link's intention to support pollution-free standards, but Claire is very clear. And the Green Food Association doesn't seem to have a very good relationship with Link. So he wondered what Link thought about it.

Link heard that he wanted an unsecured low-interest loan, which would indeed be risky. Unsecured means, of course, unsecured. However, there is a difference between the bank's voluntary agreement to not require collateral and the lender's voluntary request not to submit collateral.

The Texas Development Bank doesn't need pollution-free standard farm collateral because they don't have anything to pledge. Their farms had previously been mortgaged to other banks, and they did not have enough collateral until the debts of the other banks were paid off.

The green food production cooperatives that are now applying for unsecured loans may also have nothing to pledge, and of course they may have them, but they don't want to give them. In either case, if the bank agrees to take out a loan, it will definitely take a big risk.

A cooperative is a legal person, and if the cooperative goes bankrupt, the only possible way for the bank to lend money is to become bad debts.

However, after thinking about it for a while, he felt that it was actually possible to lend money to green food producers.

"Let them take out loans in their own name. If they agree, they can let the bank take out an unsecured loan. ”

As soon as Claire heard what he said, she understood what he meant: "You're worried about traps?"
