All Seryosha knew about Monsanto came from a later documentary about food safety called the Food Factory, which gave Xie Wenlong a new understanding of the American food industry at that time.
What kind of company Monsanto will become in the future, Seryosha knows from memory.
In Seryosha's time, Monsanto had become the unrivaled giant of the seed industry, the Microsoft company of the gene industry.
Why compare it with Microsoft, for example, in the C era, Microsoft owned nearly eighty percent of the intellectual property rights of the software on the individual C.
The same is true for Monsanto, which develops new crop seeds by modifying and creating genes that Monsanto owns completely.
Seeds that are planted in the ground will blossom and bear fruit, and even if these genes are spread through pollen to neighbors' fields, Monsanto has the right to sue these completely passive farmers.
In the future, corn and soybean seeds that do not carry Monsanto's genes will no longer be seen on the U.S. market.
Growers are threatened with lawyers even to wash their seeds.
And Monsanto's seeds are absolutely strong, and with their company's Rowaku glyphosate herbicide, they can remove almost all plants in the field except corn and soybeans.
For now, however, the company's reputation is confined to the chemical sector, but it is clear that they are already planning to enter the seed industry. z Seed Company.
If Seryosha wants better and more detailed information about Monsanto, then he only needs to commission a consulting company to do the investigation.
Kareem's several acquisitions during this period have done well, but if you look to the future, Monsanto must be included in the grasp.
Because in later generations, Monsanto will make the planters of the world submit to his feet.
Seryosha and Karim's conversation didn't last long, because Seryosha was on vacation in the name of work, so these troublesome things were left to the people below to do.
By the time there was a detailed plan, it was not too late for Seryosha to intervene.
In the days that followed, two of Seryosha's other wives also rushed to Vancouver to meet him, and the family enjoyed their lives to the fullest.
However, the employees of the investment department of the Romanov trading company were so busy that they could barely afford to eat.
Because there was so much work, starting with the problems posed by the newly acquired Dakota Pasta Growers, and because the Saskatchewan Wheat Joint Venture also had some U.S. operations, the two companies had to make a series of adjustments to their operations to avoid competition within the group.
Although these things are simple to say, it may take nearly half a year to do.
The second is the board seat of the Canadian fertilizer company, although Karim occupies a third of the voice, but Karim actually wants to buy the company completely.
As a result, the Romanoff Trading Company had to find allies on the board of directors of the Canadian Fertilizer Company to support the acquisition, and further negotiations were needed to determine whether the Canadian Fertilizer Company's products could be offered to the farmers served by the Saskatchewan Wheat Joint Venture and Dakota Pasta Growers at a more favorable price.
Before the acquisition of Monsanto, there are still some things that must be done, the first thing is to find out the current operating conditions of Monsanto, the shareholding structure and so on.
Monsanto is still one of the top 10 chemical companies in the United States, and it is still a private company that has not been publicly traded.
In this case, there is very little publicly available market information.
But Niu's consulting firm nevertheless brought Seryosha a detailed investigative report.
According to the report, Monsanto is still in the hands of the founders, the Quinn family and the Monsanto family, as long as the shares in the hands of these two families are obtained, then the rest of the things will be much easier.
Just when Kalim was still worried about how to contact the other party, Griffith, the former CEO of Dakota Pasta Growers, volunteered to stand up and ask Ying to meet with the other party on behalf of the Romanov Trading Company.
Karim knew that this was Griffith's initiative to show favor in order to stay in office, and it was okay that the original management retention would be good for the company being acquired, so Karim decided to give him this opportunity.
Griffith, with the mission, traveled from North Dakota to St.
Louis, Missouri, to personally visit Monsanto's management.
The two parties sat down and began negotiations for the first time on the acquisition.
Griffith lowered the price of Karim's authorization and gave the other party a price, and the CEO of the other party saw this price, his expression did not change, and he just asked: "Mr.
Griffiths, I would like to know why one of your agricultural companies would be interested in a chemical company like ours, and with your current size, and with an all-cash acquisition, I am concerned that your company will be able to come up with so much money," Monsanto's CEO said unceremoniously.
"We are an agricultural company, but more than half of the growers in North and South Dakota are our customers, and we have a huge demand for your roundu, and in order to better serve our customers, we want to have our own pesticide production capacity," Griffith prevaricated.
"I'm still curious about your company's financing ability, after all, the price you gave is as high as tens of billions, and your company's market value is less than this number, I'm curious about your financing ability," Monsanto's CEO asked unsympatheticly.
"I have a Rothschild bank credit certificate in my hand, which is enough to prove that there is no problem with our financing ability and that our guarantor is YOTA Communications," Griffith retorted indifferently.
"Yota Communications, the one who sells mobile phones," the other party asked incredulously.
"Yes, Yota Communications will guarantee our financing this time, can I discuss some substantive issues with you," Griffith said angrily, and the other party repeatedly underestimated himself, even the most well-educated people would be angry.
"Okay, Mr.
Griffiths, I can now take your acquisition seriously, I will submit your acquisition request to our board of directors, and we will let you know when it is concluded, please stay in St.
Louis for the first time, you can visit our company first, and we will take care of entertaining you" The CEO of Monsanto immediately changed his attitude towards Griffith. t1706231537:
