Fall in love with you reading the book network 630book, the fastest update of the godfather of the Soviet Union Griffith, the former CEO of the Dakota Pasta Growers, wore a baseball cap with his name on it and delivered his first campaign speech in front of thousands of supporters in the audience.
As an executive at North Dakota's most influential grain processing company, Griffith has a strong reputation and connections in agricultural regions like North Dakota.
After a consortium from the United Kingdom bought his Dakota pasta growers a few years ago, Griffith gained trust with his performance and went on to work as a subsidiary of the long-established grain processing company with his new owner.
Seriously, in the past two years, the U.S. grain industry has undergone tremendous changes.
Investors from Europe, who controlled most of the wheat production in Saskatchewan, Canada, and then reached into South Dakota and North Dakota, Griffiths knew little about his boss, who knew only that he was a beautiful, young woman who lived in Switzerland all year round and ran a gallery and art business in Europe.
And now the huge grain business in the hands of the boss has been taken over by another company, Glencore, from Switzerland.
Not long ago, Griffith was invited to Switzerland to meet his boss Karim, who was already Glencore's vice president, and the two had a long conversation about the company's future, during which Kalim asked Griffith if he would like to leave the company and go into politics.
When he first heard this, Griffith thought that he was going to be squeezed out of the company he had worked for for many years, but after Karim's patient explanation, Griffith finally understood the real purpose of the other party's proposal.
"Griffiths, you have a good reputation among farmers in the North and South Dakota, which is the fundamental reason why Dakota Pasta Growers has been able to maintain its supremacy in both states.
But whether from the company's point of view, or from your personal point of view, it's a pity that you don't make good use of such excellent network resources, and next year is the midterm elections in the United States, I hope you can stand up and join the political circles, of course, I will secretly help you prepare for the election expenses," Karim said straight to the point, following Seryosha's instructions.
"However, Kalim has never had any experience in politics, and besides, I am a businessman who goes to cross-border politics to become a politician, what can I bring to the company" Although Griffith is a little tempted to enter politics, he does not want to leave the big tree of Glencore, the treatment of this company is not ordinarily rich, and the reason why Griffith is loyal is largely because of the good treatment of this company.
But in addition, Glencore's excellent marketing capabilities are also one of the important reasons why Griffith is interested.
After Kalim had had enough of Dakota Pasta Growers, the wheat and other produce they bought were rarely overstocked, and there were almost no inventory problems, which Griffith thought was an ideal job with more money and less work close to home.
"Griffith, we're clear about your concerns, but I think you should take a look at this first," Karim said, pulling out a thick file from the table and placing it in front of Griffith.
Griffith flipped through the paper, which was an undisclosed letter of intent to take.
The target of the acquisition was a small seed sales company run by Griffith, and in the transaction amount column, Griffith saw that it was actually vacant.
He looked at Karim, wondering what the hell was going on.
"Don't get me wrong, Griffith.
There's nothing wrong with the company that you've taken over the resources of Dakota Pasta Growers to support your own seed sales company.
But now the company is ready to introduce another seed company in the United States to become a new supplier, so we are ready to buy this seed sales company under your name, you fill it in yourself, the company will never make a counteroffer, and we will also give back some shares of the new seed company to your family, but I hope that if you are elected to the state legislature or governor in the future, you can help the company promote our seed products in North and South Dakota" Karim no longer detours, she chose to be straightforward, Get straight to the point and explain the stakes to Griffith.
Griffith was completely stunned by Karim's magnanimity, something like this had never been encountered in his years of business experience.
But Griffith still asked with some unease: "What kind of seed products and which company produces them?"
"Oh, it's Monsanto's genetically modified soybeans, and the biggest difference with this soybean is that it won't be killed by glyphosate herbicides, and if you use this soybean, farmers can spray Monsanto's glyphosate herbicide at will without any impact on the soybean crop, and you're an insider, and you know how much the crop yield would be if there were no weeds encroaching on the farmland," Karem explained to Griffith.
"Genetically modified Monsanto, isn't it the same company that produced DDT during World War II and defoliant during the Vietnam War, isn't they a chemical company, when did they enter the seed industry?"
asked Griffith, puzzled.
He knows Monsanto's glyphosate, a herbicide that kills almost all crops in the field, but it has a short expiration date and is said to be very low toxicity and has no side effects on crops.
Before the advent of glyphosate, farmers in the United States mainly used Agent Orange, also produced by Monsanto, as a herbicide, but since the end of the Vietnam War in 1975, the media has successively exposed the harm of Agent Orange to newborns and the human body, making glyphosate almost the only option in the herbicide market.
But glyphosate kills weeds and also kills crops, so the herbicide can only be used in the month before the bell is planted.
But now the newly produced soybean seeds are not afraid of glyphosate, which is simply amazing.
Does this mean that in the future, there will be no plants left in the field except for crops?
Griffith was surprised by his boss's powerful methods, and he quietly wooed Monsanto, a chemical company.
With this seed, the production and cost of soybeans in the Dakota region may be difficult to match in the world.
Griffith remembered that Karim had promised him a share of the seed sales company, and that no one would like that seed.
Griffith didn't hesitate for anything, generously filled in the amount column with $100 million, and then signed his name.
Griffith made a fortune on a part-time basis, and his seed sales company was worth millions of dollars at best.
Karim didn't feel any displeasure when he saw this amount, and he had achieved his goal of getting Griffith to stand up for Monsanto's newly developed genetically modified soybeans.
Although Monsanto's life sciences department has been trying to overcome the corn problem for several years, it was soybeans that were the first to be harvested.
And Griffith's influence in the agricultural state is definitely Monsanto's first choice to promote its own products.
