Chapter 141 Everyone Shows Their Magical Powers (Additional Update)
Even ADM Company, one of the four major grain merchants, has also received relevant information, because their company's business sector includes various feed products, and some of the fishmeal production companies are secretly controlled by their company.
But now that the Haid Group has risen up, it can no longer suppress those who want to suppress it.
After all, Haid Group is one of the top ten feed manufacturers in the world in terms of feed production capacity. Now it has broken the fishmeal dilemma. Even if the four major grain merchants ABCD unite, it will be difficult to suppress this company.
Similarly, Hailufeng Company, which stands behind Haid Group, has once again entered the sight of the four major grain merchants.
But after they carefully investigated Hailufeng Company, they found that this company was also very difficult.
Although ABCD has many partners in East Asia, they are not invincible. Hailufeng Company, which specializes in luxury agriculture, has a different ecological niche than traditional large-scale agricultural groups like ABCD.
There is no way to suppress this kind of company through normal business means.
Company B, which had already attempted acquisitions before, knew that Hailufeng Company would not cooperate with them.
If this company is in Southeast Asia or elsewhere, then ABCD has a hundred ways to make Hailufeng Company surrender.
Unfortunately, the last collapse of America's Locke Consortium triggered a serious chain reaction and eliminated many of ABCD's chess pieces. Now it is difficult for them to make effective countermeasures.
The four major grain merchants ABCD had no other choice but to try to attack Hailufeng Company through public opinion.
They began to specially allocate several million US dollars in special funds and prepared to hire cyber trolls at home and abroad to attack Hailufeng Company from aspects such as product safety, monopoly of the market, and influence on friendly businesses.
At the same time, they are also preparing to send people to contact Kagoshima Eel Company and Brown Company, hoping to purchase eel artificial breeding technology from them, so as to produce eel fry on a large scale, and then hit the profits of Hailufeng Company.
Of course, the four ABCD families are not of the same mind.
Especially for Company D, although their family also has American Capital, their core equity is still controlled by Gaul Capital.
Therefore, Brown Company was not directly controlled. They only sold 33% of their shares to Company D and obtained the other party's asylum.
But the Kagoshima Eel Company probably won't be able to do that. After all, Japan is a colony of America.
February 10th.
Japan.
Kagoshima Prefecture.
ADM's negotiation team arrived at Kagoshima Eel Company with great pride and directly asked to meet with President Junichi Watanabe.
After hearing the assistant's report, Watanabe Junichi looked a little ugly. After all, these guys were so rude, but when he thought of the other party's identity, he could only hold back his inner dissatisfaction.
In the conference room.
Both parties sat down.
"Mr. Watanabe, we at ADM hope to acquire Kagoshima Eel Company. What do you think?" Heiji Yukimura, the head of ADM's branch in Japan, is also a Japanese, to be precise, a Japanese-American.
Junichi Watanabe frowned slightly, then shook his head: "Sorry, we have no idea of selling the company at the moment."
After being rejected, Heiji Yukimura on the other side remained calm and asked with a smile: "Mr. Watanabe, are you sure? Don't you want to hear our price? We are willing to pay US$200 million to acquire Kagoshima Eel Company."
Watanabe Junichi, who was not angry at first, became a little angry when he heard the price. If the other party had offered a higher price, he might have considered it, but he didn't expect it to be so low.
You must know that Kagoshima Eel Company, as a Japanese aquaculture company, is quite large in scale, and it also has various fixed assets, which add up to nearly 200 million US dollars.
In addition, it also has artificial eel breeding technology, which can make profits of 50 to 60 million US dollars per year. Generally, acquisitions require a premium, usually 10 to 20 times the price-earnings ratio.
Watanabe Junichi thought the other party would offer $500 million to $600 million, but it turned out to be $200 million. This was simply humiliating him.
Of course, he is also very aware that these America consortiums are used to being domineering in Japan, especially after America's economy has not been doing well in the past few years, and they have used enterprises from Japan, South Korea or the European Union as pigs.
"No need, I will not sell the company." Watanabe Chunyi's attitude was very firm.
Yukimura Heiji did not say harsh words, but picked up the coat handed over by his assistant and put it on, then said with a smile:
"Okay! Since President Watanabe doesn't want to, then we won't bother you and leave."
"Go slowly and don't see me off."
Watching Heiji Yukimura and others leave, Junichi Watanabe frowned again and looked at his son Maya Watanabe.
"Father, ADM is America's company, and there is a large consortium behind it. Will our direct refusal make them angry?"
Watanabe Junichi sighed: "Just like a Chinese saying, people are cutters, and I am fish and meat."
"Father, what should we do?" Watanabe Mayahara was a little worried.
Junichi Watanabe looked at his younger brother Kenji Watanabe, and then whispered a few instructions in his ear.
After listening to his instructions, Watanabe Kenji had a trace of surprise and uncertainty on his face.
"Go! Hurry up!"
"Father! You..."
"I'm just in case."
Looking at his father's solemn eyes, Watanabe Mayahara hesitated to speak. He knew his father's character very well. Kagoshima Eel Company was an industry that the family had worked hard to build, and his father would not give up easily.
That afternoon, Kenji Watanabe and Maya Watanabe brought with them the US$25 million they had previously earned from Xiyuan Group, a secret bearer account prepared by Junichi Watanabe, and three technicians who knew the complete formula, plus Their families flew directly to Yangcheng.
The third day.
Here comes ADM's method.
Watanabe Junichi looked at the figure who broke through the door with a very calm face: "Is this your method? Yes, this is a colony, and there are rice beasts' lackeys everywhere."
Snap!
Watanabe Junichi was slapped.
"Bagaya road!"
"Ahem..." Junichi Watanabe had a sharp look in his eyes, and he quickly pulled out a pistol from the lining of his collar.
"Nani..."
Bang bang bang…
"Ahh..."
"Dodge the bullet!"
In an instant, three people were shot and fell to the ground wailing.
The people outside reacted and prepared to fight back with their guns.
Unexpectedly, Watanabe Junichi didn't give them a chance and shot himself directly.
Looking at Junichi Watanabe with a bullet piercing his temple, Ichiro Sanada, the leader of the district inspection team, looked gloomy and in pain because he had just been hit in the arm by a bullet. Fortunately, he had quick eyesight and quick hands, and the moment he saw Junichi Watanabe pull out a gun , pulled one of his men to block a bullet, otherwise he would be doomed.
Just after briefly bandaging the wound on his arm, Ichiro Sanada received another very bad news.
"Team leader, I'm very sorry, everything was destroyed by that bastard."
"How dare he?" Ichiro Sanada gritted his teeth: "Where is the feed?"
"It was also destroyed. According to the workers at the farm, Junichi Watanabe poured a lot of chemicals into the water in the past two days."
Ichiro Sanada hit the tatami with his fist, and suddenly the wound on his arm opened again: "Hiss... Bagaya, let the technicians tell you the formula."
The reporting team member looked helpless: "Sorry, the three technicians who know the formula have been taken away by Kenji Watanabe."
"Then go find someone quickly!" Ichiro Sanada was angry.
"Hi!"
It turned out that Watanabe Junichi had a premonition of danger two days ago, but he still took a chance and only destroyed Kagoshima Eel Company's relevant information on eel artificial breeding technology, and also destroyed various prepared feeds. , and a lot of chemicals that are harmless but can interfere with detection were put into the water of the farm.
Soon, the information that Watanabe Kenji and others went abroad to Seris was investigated.
Heiji Yukimura was furious when he heard the news and yelled at Ichiro Sanada on the other side of the phone: "Baga! You bunch of red deer, you can't handle this!"
Now Junichi Watanabe's relatives have fled to Yangcheng, which makes ADM unable to take action for a while. Originally, ADM planned to do something secretly and send Junichi Watanabe, who was not very cooperative, to pick up soap.
Then they can secretly control the Kagoshima Eel Company, so that ADM Company will obtain this golden egg industry, and can continue to invest to increase the production capacity of eel fry, especially the edible eel fry market in Europe and the United States. They do not intend to let Sealux and Brown ate them all.
As for the idea of destroying the eel fry industry in order to attack Hilufeng Company, ADM Company, after studying the details of Sea Lufeng Company, felt that it would be of little use to simply attack its eel fry industry, because Sea Lufeng Company has other High-profit products, such as white truffles, specialty feeds, etc.
There is no way, they are capitalists after all.
Unfortunately, with the suicide of Junichi Watanabe, the technology of Kagoshima Eel Company was also destroyed.
ADM has been working on it for a long time, but I didn't expect that it was all in vain.
among several other companies.
Company B is not too involved in the fishmeal feed industry. Their company is involved in that part of the feed industry, mainly producing plant protein and then selling it to other feed companies as raw materials.
Company C does have a lot of feed industries, but they can't find many ways to target Hailufeng Company.
It is no different now than before. Twenty years ago, ABCD still had a great influence in the country. In recent years, with the rise of COFCO and China Grain Reserves, coupled with the speed of information dissemination on the Internet, their various actions in the country have become more and more important. They all had to restrain themselves.
After all, if you are not careful now, you will be exposed on the Internet.
In addition, after the collapse of the Locke Consortium some time ago, various forces have become increasingly wary of large European and American consortiums.
If you don't have the ability to engage the power of these large consortiums, you can only turn a blind eye. As long as the other party doesn't go too far, you can tolerate it and it will be over.
Those who have the ability to deal with large European and American conglomerates, such as Lucia, have been trying their best to suppress ABCD's various food and agriculture-related businesses in Lucia since last year, including establishing independent international grain trade and transportation channels to avoid over-reliance. ABCD’s transportation sales channels.
Just when ABCD kept making small moves.
Jiang Miao also noticed the actions of these guys.
After all, ABCD is a giant in the agricultural field, so it would be strange for Jiang Miao not to pay attention to them.
However, there was no waiting for Jiang Miao to do anything.
Watanabe Kenxiong took Watanabe Mayahara and others to Hailufeng Company to ask for a meeting.
In the reception room.
The Watanabe family looked depressed.
Watanabe Takeo directly sat him down and put his forehead against the floor: "Jiang Sang, I'm very sorry to disturb you before your holiday. We have no choice this time. The president has been killed, so we can only ask Jiang Sang for help. ”
"Do you need a work visa?" Jiang Miao had obviously guessed what the other party was thinking.
"Yes, we all need work visas. The longer the visa period, the better. We are willing to give Jiang Sang 10 million US dollars." Watanabe Kenxiong requested again in a low voice.
Watanabe Kenji, Watanabe Mayahara and others also sat down and begged.
Jiang Miao did not refuse. After all, he already understood the cause and effect of the matter. Although he was very surprised by Watanabe Junichi's tenacity, by doing so, the other party at least saved a large part of the interests of Hailufeng Company. He slowly said:
"Okay, you can join the international trade office of Hailufeng Company! The other three technicians can work as technicians in our company's factory in the next town."
"Thank you very much Jiang Sang for taking care of me." Watanabe-xiong took out a small book and offered it with both hands: "Jiang Sang, please accept it!"
"Okay." Jiang Miao was not polite, because doing so would make the other party feel more at ease.
Soon Jiang Miao asked the Watanabe family to temporarily stay in Magong Town. In fact, the three technicians were also members of the Watanabe family, but their blood relationship with Watanabe Junichi was relatively distant.
After all, family businesses in Japan are sometimes more feudal and traditional than in China.
On the other side, Jiang Miao ordered Jiang Haibo to apply for work visas for Takeo Watanabe and others.
With the power of Company A, if the Watanabe family members went elsewhere, they would probably be eaten up and wiped clean without any trace.
Even going to Xiangjiang is not safe.
Only within the core area of Siris can personal safety be guaranteed.
Even if Company A becomes angry and angry, it is useless to ask Japan to arrest Watanabe Mayahara and others, because the two parties have not signed an extradition agreement. As long as the Watanabe family members do not leave Siris, the other side has no way to attack through normal means.
In fact, the Watanabe family has accumulated a lot of money. In addition to the US$25 million earned from previous cooperation, their family has earned nearly US$67 million through eel fry and eel farming in the past year. In addition, their family has earned over the past few decades, It has also accumulated nearly US$230 million in assets, but among this part of the assets, there is only US$42 million in liquidity.
Therefore, the total assets taken out by Maya Watanabe this time were about 134 million U.S. dollars. In addition to the 10 million U.S. dollars given to Jiang Miao, there was still a lot of money left.
Whether they eat here and wait to die, or invest in property, this money is enough for their family to have enough food and clothing for a lifetime.
Jiang Miao didn't care too much about the Watanabe family's money.
It's quiet at night.
The computer room on the second floor of the villa in Nanhu Village.
"I have to give them some clues." Looking at the various information found, Jiang Miao's eyes were sharp. After taking a sip of hot tea from the teacup on the side, he started typing on the keyboard again.
To deal with ABCD, you must understand them.
In fact, all kinds of information about ABCD have been collected by him and stored in a special hard drive. Now he is just doing some research.
Among them, Company D in Gaul has the core industry:
Agricultural raw materials: cereal oil seeds, cotton, coffee, sugar, rice, juice.
Agricultural products processing: oilseed processing, food production, feed protein processing.
Logistics and transportation: It operates a fleet of more than 170 ships and customizes shipping solutions for customers. Its fleet tonnage covers compact ships and capesize ships, and its cargo is transported all over the world's oceans.
This company has not made many big moves for the time being. It just plans to fund the Internet trolls and attack Hailufeng Company through public opinion.
Company A, ADM, has a wide range of businesses, including food, beverages, dietary treatments, feeds, etc. It is a world leader in the fields of grain and oil processing, and is America's largest soybean crushing and processing plant and corn additive manufacturing. It is also the fifth largest grain export trading company in the world.
Company B has more than 450 factories in 32 countries around the world. It is the fourth largest grain export company in the world, the largest grain exporter in Brazil, and the second largest exporter of soybean products in America. In addition to the grain business, it is also involved in textile, fertilizer, paint, banking and other industries.
Company C, with an annual turnover of US$90 billion, is not currently listed. Its grain export and trading business ranks first in the world, with the largest number of grain silos in the United States, and its business covers 66 countries around the world.
In addition, it also has a hedge fund with over 10 billion US dollars in assets, as well as various bioengineering research and development plans.
Currently, Jiang Miao needs to deal with three companies, ABC.
Since assassination methods have been used to deal with the Locke Consortium before, and there is also the matter of Jiang Anye, although there is no evidence that Jiang Miao was responsible, this matter will definitely attract the attention of ABCD.
Therefore this time he could not directly use assassination methods.
But even so, it doesn't mean that he has no way to deal with these guys.
For example, he retrieved various bioengineering information from Company C and quickly found something that could be used.
One of the contents is to use genetic technology to artificially modify fungi that are specific to certain crops, and then use the coating of seeds to hide the strains in the coating and use them to infect the local soil.
In fact, America has done this kind of thing all over the world.
For example, sending wheat seeds with large-scale infectious pests to some hostile forces will infect the enemy's wheat with pests, leading to a large-scale reduction in grain production.
As for the three ABC companies directly controlled by America Capital, they must be highly involved in the research and development of these biological weapons.
Jiang Miao copied these contents and was kind enough to annotate them so that people would know exactly what they were about at a glance, and then packaged them and sent them to all parties.
Then, from a large pile of information about Company A, he selected the fact that their local America products used various prohibited drugs and the pesticide residues seriously exceeded the standard.
Jiang Miao directly wrote several related English blog posts as a former employee of Company A, and then forced these articles to be posted on the homepages of América's major social platforms.
These companies have so much dirty stuff that they can’t even use it all.
In Company B's information, Jiang Miao used another method. He found evidence that Company B had used illegal means in the acquisition of an important agricultural company in Western Europe, and directly issued the document to the person being targeted. The European consortium that Company B took advantage of made both sides go dog-eat-dog.
Of course, Jiang Miao did not pin all his hopes on these means.
But there is no problem in delaying it for the time being.
Now Hailufeng Company needs to develop for a while before it can confront ABCD head-on.
