The big people gathered together, knowing that now is not the time to work, and it is also a relatively laborious thing to suddenly convene the board of directors, and the various directors who are outside are gathered in a very short time.

The chairman sat at the top, and the director at the bottom asked inexplicably: "Jack, what is the matter that suddenly summoned us, I have to go to play golf tomorrow, a million-dollar gamble?" ”

"I just received an official letter, and if you know what's going on, I'm afraid you don't have the heart to play golf."

Everyone asked curiously, "What official letter?" ”

"The Huaxing Group that planted the flower family sent me an official letter, and they were going to break the contract and no longer give us the authorization of soybean genes."

"If you break the contract, you will break the contract." A shareholder said indifferently: "We have a lot of patents in Monsanto, do we still care about one of his patents?" ”

Not every shareholder is savvy and capable, and some may have inherited shares from his father, whose main business is to eat, drink, and be merry. As long as they can receive enough dividends on time every year, as for the management of the company, they don't care.

"Edward, you're a piece of shit." Another older shareholder scolded: "What else can you do except pick up girls and drink, since you don't understand anything, then don't speak, since the chairman of the board of directors has convened, it means that the patent authorization of this gene is crucial." ”

After scolding, the shareholder asked, "Jack, tell us about it, what is the reason?" What is this gene patent grant? ”

"Distinguished Monsanto directors, as you all know, we at Monsanto have developed very rapidly in the past two years. The most fundamental reason is that we are invincible in the soybean market. Chairman Jack said very seriously: "And the reason why we can take advantage of soybeans is because at the end of the last century, we bought a gene patent for wild soybeans from Huaxing Company, and it is precisely because of this gene patent that we can cultivate high-yield soybeans, if the other party withdraws this patent authorization, all the soybean market in our hands will fall apart." ”

Although he doesn't care about the group's operational work, but when the dividends are paid at the end of each year, he will still listen to the financial director to explain that the majority of the profits in recent years include soybeans, if the soybean market collapses, then his dividends will be at least one-third less.

This gentleman just wanted to speak, but was glared at by the old man opposite, and immediately shut up and didn't dare to speak.

At this time, the old man asked: "What is the reason why people want to breach the contract and not give us authorization, have you figured this out?" ”

"I don't know anything, and we've just received an official letter." The chairman shrugged his shoulders: "Our CEO is calling the other side, hoping to figure out what happened. ”

The old man asked, "Can you show me the letter?" ”

Jack handed the document to the old man, who looked at it several times with his glasses on, frowning and thinking.

"The other party has a demand, and they don't want to breach the contract." The old man frowned at this time: "If they want to breach the contract, they will not give a one-month buffer period, it seems that the liquidated damages will be paid to our company's account within a month, but in fact, we are given a month to think about it, how to solve the problem?" ”

"That's what I think, so it's imperative to figure out the other party's purpose." Chairman Jack nodded: "I called you over, in case the other party has any excessive demands, then it needs to be voted on by the entire board of directors." ”

After a while, the company's CEO hurriedly ran in, and the chairman hurriedly asked, "Have you figured out the other party's intentions?" ”

"Dealing with the flower family is troublesome." The CEO frowned and said, "The CEO of the other party did not answer my question clearly. But reading between the lines, I speculated that it might have something to do with the default in the soybean futures market. ”

"Why does Huaxing Group also operate in the soybean futures market?"

The CEO shook his head: "There should be, they only have one investment company to do angel investment, and they don't have any operations in the futures market." ”

"That is to say, they don't have any losses, so why break the contract, you know, every year our sales dividends are given to them, and they are profitable to cooperate with us."

The CEO shrugged his shoulders and shook his head: "I don't understand, anyway, it must be related to the futures default event, but what does this have to do with Huaxing Group, I haven't figured it out yet." ”

Just now, the gentleman raised his hand, and the old man on the other side glared at him, but seeing that this kid's hand kept holding and did not put it down, he nodded: "If you have anything to say, just say it." ”

"I recently got an Oriental girlfriend."

The old man said angrily: "Edward, I don't have any interest in your affair, please don't talk about your girlfriend on the board?" ”

"I mean to do what I like, so I learned a little bit of Oriental culture." Edward said with some cringe: "This seems to be called the feelings of the family and the country in the Eastern culture, they think that the relationship between the country and the family is inseparable, perhaps because the default of the soybean futures market has caused their country to suffer heavy losses, so Huaxing Group wants to teach us a lesson." ”

Chairman Jack nodded: "It's very possible, but I can't imagine it, it's not his loss, if he cooperates, he still has huge profits, why break the contract?" ”

The old man shook his head: "I can't imagine either. But I know an expert on Oriental issues, and I can consult with him. ”

The old man picked up a phone, dialed a number, went to the corner and chatted for a while, then hung up and sat back in his chair.

"Very complex national feelings, very complex culture." The old man smiled and said, "I can't understand that they are just normal economic behavior, but they seem to be invading their country, my friend said, it is very likely that this aroused his patriotic feelings." ”

"Six billion dollars is indeed a lot, I think for one industry in a country, it's not too much." Edward frowned: "Although I don't speculate on futures, I heard that futures often lose money, don't say that billions or tens of billions are possible, why is the other party so nervous?" ”

Jack crossed his hands and was stunned for a moment before he said: "Maybe it's because if the six billion dollars in liquidated damages are paid, most of the other party's soybean industry will also exist in name only." ”
