"Then our five major grain companies will take control of their soybean industry." Jack shrugged: "As you know, if you control a certain industry in a country, the profits will be incalculable."
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 controlled the grain lifeline of many countries, but they are all small countries. Look, can we control the grain lifeline of Gallic chicken? It's impossible, Louis Dreyfus can't
Compromise, or Big Bear's, is also impossible." The old man shook his head: "That is a big Eastern country. A big Eastern country that has defeated us before, it is impossible for him to hand over his life to outsiders. The top priority now is
Either we take the initiative to settle these futures orders, or we, Monsanto, convince the four major grain merchants that they cannot touch this market even if their soybean industry suffers serious losses."
The old man finally asked: "Which one do you think is easier?"
"That's six billion U.S. dollars. If we bear these losses, we may lose more than six billion U.S. dollars."
Edward suddenly asked: "If the other party breaches the contract, how much liquidated damages will be paid?"
"Only a measly $10 million."
Edward jumped up directly: "This is unreasonable. This gene licensing involves such a large market, but it only sets such a low liquidated damages. How did you sign this contract in the first place?"
"When we were asking for this authorization, we would do whatever they said. They asked me for nothing and there was no room for negotiation at all."
The old man knocked on the table: "Is there no way to bypass this gene patent authorization, even if we have to fight a protracted lawsuit with them?"
Jack shook his head: "At the beginning we also wanted to blur the concept and do some tricks in the contract, but the other party was also professional and tightened the terms very tightly, which was quite disadvantageous to us."
The old man slapped the table: "I propose to get rid of those futures orders, because this is the smallest loss. Even if it is 10 billion US dollars, it is better than losing the entire soybean market."
Jack nodded: "I agree with you."
The other shareholders nodded in agreement, even Edward was meaningless.
“Does this mean my dividends will be reduced a lot this year?”
The old man smiled and said: "This is better than your dividends being reduced a lot every year. Edward, you performed well today and helped us find the key. Without you, we might have been busy for several days.
"
Edward smiled bitterly and said, "Thank you for the compliment, but it's 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. That is a paradise on earth."
"Really, I really can't wait."
Chairman Monsanto quickly assigned tasks and began to contact futures brokers overnight, striving to settle all these matters within half a month. You must know that if this news leaks out, there will be another turmoil in the stock market, and he will lose more than
Six billion to ten billion.
The next day, Shao Bowen called Jiang Hua: "Boss, you are amazing, soybean futures have really started to change. According to this trend, all default orders can be settled in less than ten days."
"What we want is this effect. These guys want to eat any fat meat they see. Don't they know that some meat is filled with bones?"
Shao Bowen asked in confusion: "Boss, are you speculating on soybean futures?"
"No."
"Then you suddenly called me yesterday and asked me to pay attention to the soybean futures market."
"I'm just venting my anger on others."
Shao Bowen thought for a while and immediately understood Jiang Hua's intention.
"Oh, I understand, your passionate patriotism is beginning to overflow again." Shao Bowen said with a smile: "I'm curious, what means did you use to settle these defaulted futures orders?"
"One piece of official document is enough."
"Good means." Shao Bowen praised with a smile on the other side of the phone: "This is what our ancestors said is the highest state of military use, to conquer the enemy without fighting."
"Okay, stop flattering me." Jiang Hua said with a smile: "If you come to the capital when you have free time from work, I will entertain you well."
"When you are free at work, how can you have free time?" Shao Bowen said in a dumbfounded voice: "Now the entire company's external investments are all managed by Huaxing Investment Company. 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 just don't have to take everything into my own hands, so that I can be so leisurely every day."
Enjoy life.”
"Boss, you're showing off to the wrong person. If you let go, you're leaving things directly to me. That's why 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.
It's going too fast, I don't know when I can enjoy retirement life."
"You are still young, how can you be so decadent? Hurry up and train talents. If you can train a talent like you, then you can retire."
Monsanto was much faster than they expected, settling all the troubles in the futures market in just eight days, but at the same time they also attracted questioning from their peers.
It was a countermeasure that was discussed together at the beginning, and it was about to succeed, but you, Monsanto, surrendered and stabbed everyone in the back. This is simply unbearable.
The interests of Hongguoguo have disappeared, and these four major grain merchants will not give up. No one will believe Monsanto's explanations with red lips and white teeth. In the end, they can only settle these allies after paying some benefits. A rough calculation
Come on, I lost about 10 billion this time.
After settling all this, Monsanto's CEO was on the phone with Xu Guanglian. This time Xu Guanglian's tone was much gentler, and he talked on the phone about how harmonious the cooperation between the two companies was.
Monsanto's CEO took advantage of the situation and proposed to renegotiate the licensing contract. Xu Guanglian also agreed wholeheartedly, and Monsanto breathed a sigh of relief.
However, the representatives they sent to negotiate the contract have not yet boarded the plane. The flower growers have introduced several new policies, including large-scale tax reductions for soybeans imported from Kangaroo Country and Samba Country, and higher import taxes for corresponding genetically modified soybeans.
.
All of a sudden, it hit Monsanto's seven inches. Of course, this is not over yet. The state also provides subsidies for imported soybeans from Africa. The most important thing is that Huaxing Biotech has released its own improved soybeans.
