Chapter 383

    With so many members of Blackwater, eating has become a problem. In addition, the Williams center has been built, and Henry is planning to let his company begin to move in. There are dozens of these companies, and the total number of employees is hundreds of thousands. Eating has become a problem. And there are many factories all over the world, and there are more people in the factories. Therefore, it is extremely necessary for Henry to own a grain company.


    Charles Tony, the head of Williams think tank, a think tank set up by Henry, came to Williams manor and proposed to Henry to buy the food company.


    At present, the global 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% of the world''s grain trading volume, and only they have pricing power! Some people say, "to control food is to control human beings!" Although this is biased, there is a certain truth.


    Today, global food shortage, sharp decline in production and rapid price increase 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 100 days.


    Countries all over the world attach great importance to food. The concept of food security was formally put forward at the first World Food Summit held in November 1974. Just in November this year, the second world food summit was held, and the concept of "food security" was mentioned again, which shows the importance of food security!


    When it comes to the four major grain merchants, they are Adam, Bunge, Cargill and Louis Dreyfus. People used to call them "ABCD" according to the first letter of their names. If you control one of the grain merchants, then Henry''s voice in the world will be greatly improved!


    "Mr. Williams, food is very important. I propose to buy one of the four major grain dealers!" Charles Tony then gave Henry a detailed introduction of the four major grain merchants.


    Among the four major grain merchants, ADM has always been famous for its emphasis on R & D. Therefore, Henry preferred Adm.


    However, the four major grain merchants are very rich. They make a lot of money every year in the field of grain! Therefore, it is very difficult to acquire such a company. There''s no way. Who can make the global food always insufficient? Who can make money if the food companies don''t make money?


    "Charles Tony, you inform Smith, who is in charge of the acquisition team, to acquire adami!" Henry thought for a moment and said to Charles Tony.


    "Yes, Mr. Williams!"


    Henry has a large and professional acquisition team under his name. His complete name is "Williams acquisition services", but he is nicknamed "global buy", and Smith is the CEO.


    On the day when Henry ordered to go down, Smith launched a purchase to adami, and adami also gave a quick reply. If Henry agreed to acquire adami at a valuation of US $45 billion, then the shareholders of adami would be willing to accept the purchase. Smith shook his head when he heard that adanmi''s market value is only over 15 billion, but now he wants Henry to spend 45 billion US dollars to buy it, which makes the lion open his mouth. Even if it''s a premium, it can''t be tripled!


    "The premium is OK, but three times the premium, do you think it''s appropriate?" Smith said in a rather unpleasant tone.


    "Ha ha, why not?" Hank Morley, CEO of adami, said with a smile, "adami company monopolizes the grain market together with the other three grain companies. As you probably know, the monopoly company is the most profitable one. Therefore, you can''t estimate the market value of adanmi completely through the stock price! If Henry Williams wants to buy it, he will have to offer $45 billion. Hehe, besides, doesn''t he have $400 billion? Forty five billion dollars is just a small sum of money for him! "


    No matter what Smith and others say, the other side insists on the price. Do you want to buy it or not!


    Smith then called Henry and told him about the situation.


    Smith said: "Mr. Williams, adami company has no sincerity to negotiate. They want us to pay three times the price for the company, and they don''t give in at all. I don''t think they are going to sell the company!"


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


    "All right!"


    Smith immediately launched a purchase to the other three grain dealers. However, American Bunge and French Louis Duff also quoted three times the market value, while American Cargill, which was not listed, flatly rejected Henry''s request for purchase.


    The four major grain merchants made it clear that they didn''t want to sell to Henry, and Smith obviously had to come back in vain.


    Charles Tony and Smith came to Williams manor together this time.


    After Smith reported to Henry, Charles Tony said, "Mr. Williams, the four major grain dealers are not willing to sell the company. I propose to terminate the acquisition plan."


    Henry nodded and decided not to buy any of the big four. The four major grain dealers are so powerful that they can control the global grain and engage in monopoly. Then, I will break your monopoly! Henry said, "since they don''t want to sell, we''ll set up a grain company of our own. Forty five billion dollars can build a world-class food company. Why buy them? "


    "Yes, that''s right." Charles Tony nodded and said to Henry, "in fact, we have a natural advantage in setting up a food company - that is, we have a huge population base. Five or six million people in the world are working for you, Mr. Williams. When we set up a food company, we can have a market immediately. This is a capability that no other grain company can have. With this, the grain companies will be in an invincible position, and then they will carve up the market of other grain companies! "


    Henry couldn''t help laughing and said, "the four major grain merchants are really to blame. They just add a powerful enemy to themselves! Ha ha, AMD''s annual profit is only more than one billion US dollars. For me, the grain company is just a small sum of money. Even if I don''t make money, I''ll kill the four of them! " Henry had read a lot of news in his previous life. The four major grain merchants were cold-blooded and ruthless unscrupulous merchants. He would rather have the grain rotten than give the starving people a bite to eat!


    This kind of unscrupulous businessman should be taught a lesson!


    Henry turned to Smith and said, "from now on, you go to South America, Canada, Australia and other places to buy a lot of farms for me. I''ll hire a lot of farmers to farm for me! In addition, we should pay close attention to Monsanto and pioneer seed. When the time comes, the two companies have acquired them together! "


    "Yes!" Smith answered in a loud voice.


    Henry''s mouth went up and said in secret that the development of excellent seeds for farmers to plant, low cost, high yield, low price, the four major grain merchants should not be made "* * *"!


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


    "Well!"


    Smith and Charles Tony took leave of Henry immediately.
