1272 Combo Punch
The old man asked, "And then?" ”
"Then our big five grain companies will take advantage of the trend and take control of their soybean industry." Jack shrugged his shoulders: "You also know that if you control a certain industry in a country, the profit obtained cannot be calculated. ”
The old man nodded: "Your idea is good, but you have chosen the wrong person." ”
"Don't look at the four major grain merchants and we have mastered the food lifeline of many countries, but they are all small countries, you see, can we master the food lifeline of Gallic chickens, impossible, Louis Dreyfus Company will not compromise, or the big hairy bear, it is also impossible." The old man shook his head: "That's a big country in the East. A big eastern country that once defeated us, it is impossible for him to hand over his lifeblood to outsiders, and the top priority now is either that we take the initiative to get these futures orders done, or that we Monsanto convince the four major grain merchants that even if the other party's soybean industry is seriously losing money, it cannot move this market. ”
The old man finally asked, "Which do you think is simpler?" ”
"That's six billion dollars. If we were to bear these losses, we would probably lose more than six billion. ”
Edward suddenly asked, "If the other party breaches the contract, how much liquidated damages will be paid?" ”
"It's only a mere $10 million."
Edward jumped up directly: "This is unreasonable, this genetic authorization is related to such a large market, but only sets such a low liquidated damages, how did you sign this contract in the first place?" ”
"When we were begging for this authorization, we did what people said, and they didn't ask for anything from me, so there was no room for negotiation at all."
The old man knocked on the table: "Isn't there a way to bypass this genetic patent authorization, even if it is a protracted lawsuit with them." ”
Jack shook his head: "At the beginning, we also wanted to blur the concept and make some small tricks in the contract, but the other party is also professional, and the terms are very dead, which is quite bad for us." ”
The old man slapped the table: "I propose to get those futures orders, because this is the smallest loss, even if it is 10 billion dollars, it is better than the loss of the entire soybean market." ”
Jack nodded, "I agree with you. ”
The rest of the shareholders nodded in agreement, and even that Edward didn't make sense.
"Does this mean that my dividends will be reduced a lot this year?"
The old man smiled and said, "It's better than your dividends being reduced every year, Edward, you did well today, and helped us find the key all at once, if it weren't for you, we might have been busy for days." ”
Edward smiled bitterly and said, "Thank you for the compliment, it's just a pity that my entertainment budget will be reduced next year." ”
The old man shook his head: "If you really don't have a place to play, I can introduce you to an island to play, which is a fairyland on earth." ”
"yes, I can't wait."
Chairman Monsanto hurriedly assigned tasks and began to contact those futures brokers overnight, striving to settle all these things within half a month, knowing that if this news leaks out a little, there will be another turmoil in the stock market, and he will lose more than 6 billion to 10 billion.
The next day, Shao Bowen called Jiang Hua: "Boss, you are god, soybean futures have really begun to change, according to this trend, it will not take ten days, and all default orders can be settled." ”
"That's what they want, these guys want to nibble on any fat meat they see, don't they know that some of the meat is breaded with bones?"
Shao Bowen asked with some confusion: "Boss, are you speculating on soybean futures?" ”
"Nope."
"Then you gave me a phone call yesterday out of the blue and asked me to pay attention to the soybean futures market."
"I'm venting my anger on others."
Shao Bowen thought about it and immediately understood Jiang Hua's intentions.
"Oh, I see, your fervent patriotism is starting to flood again." Shao Bowen said with a smile: "I'm curious, what means do you use to settle these defaulting futures orders?" ”
"A piece of paper is enough."
"Good means." Shao Bowen praised with a smile on the other side of the phone: "This is the highest level of use of soldiers that our ancestors said, a soldier who surrenders without a fight." ”
"Alright, don't be a sycophant." Jiang Hua smiled and said, "If you come to the capital when you are free from work, I will entertain you well." ”
"When you are free from work, how can you have free time?" Shao Bowen said with a smile: "Now the entire company's external investment is under the control of Huaxing Investment Company, and I can't wait to be busy every day. ”
"You have to learn to let go, you can't take everything into your own hands." Jiang Hua smiled and said: "Look, you have to learn from me, I don't have to grasp anything in my own hands, so I can enjoy life so leisurely every day." ”
"Boss, you're showing off the wrong person, you let go and just let things go to me, I'm so busy." Shao Bowen said aggrievedly: "I promoted two more vice presidents this year, but there is no way, the company's business is expanding too fast, and I don't know when I will be able to enjoy retirement." ”
"You're still young, how can you be so decadent? Hurry up and cultivate talents, if you can cultivate a talent like you, then you can retire. ”
Monsanto moved far faster than they expected, clearing all the troubles in the futures market in just eight days, but at the same time they also attracted cross-examination from their peers.
At the beginning, it was a countermeasure discussed together, but seeing that it was about to succeed, you Monsanto actually surrendered and stabbed everyone in the back, which is simply unbearable.
The interests of Hongguoguo have disappeared, these four major grain merchants will not give up, and no one will believe Monsanto's red-mouthed and white-toothed explanations to others, and in the end, these allies can only be leveled after paying some benefits, and roughly calculated, this time the loss is really about 10 billion.
After settling all this, Monsanto's CEO was talking to Xu Guanglian on the phone, and this time Xu Guanglian's mouth was much warmer, and he talked about how well the two companies cooperated on the phone.
Monsanto's CEO took the opportunity to propose to re-discuss the licensing contract, and Xu Guanglian also agreed, and Monsanto breathed a sigh of relief.
However, the representatives they sent to negotiate the contract have not yet boarded the plane, and the flower growers have launched several new policies, aiming at large-scale tax cuts for soybeans imported from kangaroo countries and samba countries, and the import tax on genetically modified soybeans will be increased.
At this time, it is simply hitting Monsanto's seven inches, of course, this is not over, for African imported soybeans, the state still has subsidies, and most importantly, Huaxing Biotechnology released its own improved soybeans.
This set of punches came down, and Monsanto was blinded.
