Chapter 360 Acquisition
Umbrella rarely takes the initiative to engage in real business wars, but it’s not that it doesn’t know how to use it!
As a basic base, Mexico cannot always have time to quarrel with a group of politicians.
If you are too talkative, you will be considered to be worried and weak. Once you start to show off and start pinching, there will be more troubles later.
In the face of interests, there are many people who are willing to take risks.
In this case, after initially entering the water affairs field, Umbrella directly started the mode of cutting through the mess with a quick knife.
Having been rooted in Mexico for so long, it is impossible for the employees here to be unprepared.
It can be said that they have already been divided into categories, and with Lin Shiqin's monitoring to lock them in, there will be no surprises at all!
And the way it was handled, it couldn't have been Ambre's hand.
Umbrella is a responsible security company. The security in Mexico is very bad. This kind of thing...
It's commonplace, just get used to it!
In the car, at home, in the office, and in the toilet, those guys who didn't know how much they weighed and wanted to make the most of their money were without exception all met with backlash from Mexico's own underground forces.
However, if a consensus can be found, even if it is only a partial one, Umbrella will tolerate it as long as there is unclear 'opposition'.
Even if you use money and interests to clear the way, there is no problem. What is needed now is to get it done as quickly as possible!
On the one hand, the fate of BIUBIU is heard everywhere, and on the other hand, there are enough profits.
In addition, Umbrella itself has indeed brought a lot of jobs, tax revenue and infrastructure to Mexico, and has also improved order. Overall, the atmosphere in Mexico has been much better.
Therefore, even the few elites in Mexico, those who are truly ambitious, do not have strong resistance to Umbrella.
At the same time, Umbrella has officially begun to reach out to other important industries in Mexico that are controlled by foreign capital...
……
"Impossible. This is not a question of money. You, Umbrella, have to be reasonable, right? This is not a water system that can be decided by the Mexican authorities. We have the North American Free Trade Agreement, and private property is sacred. Infringement, if we don’t want to sell it, you can’t buy it!”
In the representative office of Bunge Group in Mexico, Bunge's agent looked at Junichiro, who was in front of Umbrella as the representative, and his face was ashen.
When Ambre pulled the water system, they actually had a premonition, but they still couldn't believe it when it actually happened to them.
The water system has the intervention of the Mexican authorities, and there is really nothing that can be done to make the matter so big, but there was no problem on the farm when they defeated the Mexican farmers!
Food is just a little more expensive now, but there is no drinking water problem like water services.
Just like beverage factories still have private wells now, these things cannot be taken back just because you take them back!
Unlike water affairs, which were mainly controlled by Gaul and Britain, Gaul and Britain had no choice but to admit defeat because they were beyond their reach, but the beauty was right next door!
Strength and distance are not the same dimension!
Pressure and confidence are also not on the same level!
"I think it's better for you guys to sell. After all, the local businessmen are killing people everywhere now, and we don't have time to deal with these matters."
Junichiro sat here expressionless, speaking calmly about things that were scary.
"We have always been on equal footing with them. They plant what they plant and we plant what we plant. As long as you don't stir up trouble..."
Bunge’s agent here had just finished speaking when Junichiro explained the situation
"Oh, we just cleared out their plantation, and now we are planting our medicinal materials. The soil fertility here is quite good."
Junichiro's words almost made Bungie's agent's nose run out.
Waterfa?
Is this something humans can do?
Junichiro seemed to think for a while, looked at the time, and then said to him
"You should still be able to see it when you watch the news now, you can make sure."
As soon as he finished speaking, Bunge's agent quickly began to check the information, and made a phone call while reading.
Sure enough, feedback came quickly!
Umbrella took away the territory of those businessmen!
Did you make a mistake? You committed a sin!
"Out of humanitarianism, we did not resort to annihilation this time. We just drove them away. After all, most of them were forced to do this by you..."
The follow-up words directly drove Bunge's agent to the wall.
At the beginning, it was precisely because of the dumping by their four major grain merchants that the entire agricultural industry in Mexico was defeated. Then, in addition to the high-quality areas they entered and acquired, the remaining ones that were not bankrupt began to use other methods.
But now, their territory is gone. According to the news, Umbrella got the approval and authorization from the Mexican authorities!
So where will the businessmen who have lost their territory now target?
"Sell it?"
Junichiro tilted his head and calmly continued to ask the questions he had already asked.
Since he no longer had the trouble of women, he felt completely detached, and he liked this feeling very much now.
"Can we hire you to help guard it?"
Bunge's agent was still trying to save himself, showing a wry smile.
“We don’t have enough people.”
"Please allow me to contact the headquarters..."
Finally, he sighed.
As an agent in one place, doing this is a sign of incompetence, but the opponent is too strong.
Cargill, Bunge, ADM and Louis Dreyfus, except for the last one from Gaul, the other three are all big and beautiful.
Relying on the large amount of funds in hand, relying on the influence and channels of related chemical fertilizers, and controlling various regions around the world.
The four major grain merchants control 80% of the world’s grain transactions!
They have too many means to coerce their opponents to compromise, and they can even get the beautiful authorities to cooperate with their actions!
Even China has been deceived by them, and if the bottomless staple food reserves hadn't pushed them back, the consequences might have been worse.
After joining the WTO at the turn of the millennium, soybeans were liberalized and the tax rate was reduced to 3%. The four major grain merchants immediately used ultra-low-priced soybeans to fill domestic oil companies.
The four major grain merchants were also very patient. They spent four years feeding them continuously and waited until they could no longer leave. Then they started to speculate in soybean prices crazily in accordance with Da Niannian's policy.
Most of the international production is in their hands, and the oil mills that have been accustomed to this kind of supply are a little confused when suddenly faced with such prices. At that time, domestic soybean production could no longer satisfy them.
Even at that time, the authorities of Great Britain came out to make an official announcement. The Ministry of Agriculture of Great Britain directly stated that it was preparing to reduce soybean production, which added fuel to the fire in prices.
Money itself is just money and cannot represent materials. The gap in this kind of commodity cannot appear out of thin air and needs cycles to make up for it.
So once the quantity is insufficient, there is no way!
Prices rose in response.
It directly exceeded US$1,000 per ton, and there is an upward trend.
Under such circumstances, domestic oil mills can only bite the bullet and sign a large order to prepare a batch of goods.
With the price of raw materials soaring, the price of the finished products they sell will also be higher, so I don't panic too much. I think that this year's goal is to ensure that I don't lose money.
But just as they completed the contract, almost immediately, the authorities of Dameili came forward again, saying that they would correct their plan to reduce soybean production, and even continue to increase production.
This directly confused domestic oil-extracting companies, and soybean prices halved overnight!
Now that the price of soybeans has dropped, their original idea of raising product prices has naturally come to nothing. They have instantly lost all competitiveness and are on the verge of bankruptcy.
It was at this time that the four major grain merchants, through mergers and acquisitions, equity participation or joint ventures, finally took control of 70% of domestic refined oil products.
Yes, the authorities of the most powerful country were persuaded by businessmen to slap themselves in the face, changing orders day and night to affect commodity prices.
This is naturally similar to the stock god on Capitol Hill...
