Chapter 511 No one can beat him
Taonn Bill Bard won the case.
On this day, he received his $265 million in Roundup compensation in court.
The judge who made the judgment believed that the evidence showed that Monsanto acted with ‘reckless indifference’ when it launched its dicamba-resistant upgraded seed.
Monsanto's stock plunged.
However, this is just the beginning of the avalanche.
Another prosecutor, Californian Aidwin Hardman, won the verdict and received $80 million in damages.
Not long after, the jury in Brandon's case also determined that it was a substantial factor in Brandon's malignant tumor.
He received $60 million in compensation.
In just a few days, Monsanto lost nearly $30 billion in the capital market.
It was like a signal, and there were long queues at the door of the court, and hundreds of millions of victims launched a complaint against Monsanto.
At the same time, they also took to the streets to launch a march, and the voices against the ruling party remained high.
Get off!
Some even openly called for assassination of those who put this country in crisis!
The federal government, facing tremendous pressure, pushed most of the responsibility to Monsanto. As Guo Yang expected, Monsanto once again became the scapegoat.
Another half month later, one-third of Monsanto's market value became shattered.
Ironically, this amount happened to be the total amount it used to acquire Syngenta.
Investors are in a big frenzy.
So a historic moment appeared: Hugh Grant, who had worked in Monsanto for more than 40 years and brought Noonda to the top, was driven off the stage.
Even most management is cleaned.
The newly appointed management tried to calm the public's emotions, but bad news followed.
Another lawsuit against Roundup had an adverse impact on Monsanto.
A couple who claimed that dicamba caused them to have cancer won an astonishing $2 billion verdict in the San Francisco Bay Area!
At this point, the avalanche could not stop.
At this time, various Roundup lawsuits had reached millions.
And it's still rising.
Whether there is any loss due to Monsanto or not, people hope to chew a piece of meat from the Monsanto elephant.
Mosanto, who had tried to monopolize, was also ruthlessly isolated.
When you despair, you will find that everyone is against you, and that's what Monsanto is.
When Monsanto was in litigation trouble, the big trouble in the farmland was still growing rapidly.
Super resistant weeds spread to all agricultural areas in America, causing far more harm than caltrops from years ago.
Because this time the resistant weeds are not one variety, but multiple varieties.
The farmer can do nothing.
Many people watched helplessly as the fruits of labor turned into bubbles.
This is a disaster for the entire agricultural field.
The agricultural inputs fields such as seeds, fertilizers, pesticides, as well as farmers, processors, traders, and even ordinary consumers are suffering from the harm of disaster.
The agricultural supplies cannot be sold, and the prices have dropped sharply.
Farmers face production cuts and deadlines.
Processor costs have increased significantly, and raw materials may also be in a hurry.
Traders not to mention that Cargill and ADM are empty in the granaries on both sides of the Mississippi River, and the names of the four major grain traders are not in line with the real world.
In supermarkets, various cheap foods also rose rapidly.
The United Nations has also issued an early warning that the agricultural crisis in the United States and the San Die will lead to a new round of food crisis, and a large number of people in poor food importing countries may starve to death.
Monsanto was trapped in the quagmire of compensation.
Everyone knows that Monsanto is over this time, and the disaster that the Federation is suffering needs to be a culprit.
Monsan is the most suitable.
The federal government will continue, and major companies, colleges and scientists are all thinking about solutions.
How to control the weeds?
As time entered the summer of 2015, the abundant sunlight made the weeds grow wildly again.
Agrochemical companies and farmers who are used to relying on chemical agents are helpless.
Some farmers who insist on organic agricultural production have found a way: physical removal.
Weeds can be cleaned up using cultivators, artificial, flame weeders, etc., but this returns to its original origin: agricultural production costs have increased significantly.
The farm's income, coupled with government subsidies, cannot cover production costs.
And, this season is too late.
There are too many weeds. If you want to remove the weeds, you can only eradicate them with the crops. It will be useless and it will be completely eliminated.
But there are still many people doing this, and even federal agricultural experts have called for it.
Because weed seeds can be reduced for the next season, even if this may have little effect, it is better than nothing.
In Illinois, people have actually done this long ago.
A few months ago, after Burran David's 600-acre farm was destroyed by drifting dicamba, he was on the verge of despair and had to sue Monsanto.
At this time, Du He, the technical director of Tianhe Seed Industry, appeared on his farm.
Burran David said, "It has nothing to do with you, it is my choice."
Du He is about forty years old, from China, and speaks English stutteringly, "In fact, it's still early, and you still have the chance to make up for it, sow the seeds again."
Du He teased, "Then he was beaten to death by the drifting dicamba again?"
Du He didn't know where to answer.
In fact, he didn't know why the company issued this order.
There is a threat of dicamba, no matter how many times it is sown, the same result will be.
Then, super resistant weeds broke out across the United States, and David's neighbors even developed malignant tumors.
Duhe came to David's farm again.
After his persuasion, David chose to physically remove the withered crops and weeds in the field, and then sow the seeds.
When the weeds emerged, he chose the physical removal plan provided by Tianhe.
Although crop yields may not be high and the cost will increase significantly, as time goes by, what Tianhe originally predicted happened.
The price of corn rose sharply.
At the same time, the federal government provided a special compensation to farmers who insisted on producing, which is said to be to restore reputation and resist price inflation.
This is not very useful, and most farmers give up and lay down.
However, for David who sowed again, this is an extra bonus.
After all, his income may not be much smaller than last year.
This is all brought by Tianhe.
When most agrochemical companies are holding Monsanto accountable and trying to bite a piece of meat from Monsanto, only Tianhe Seed Industry is still considering the farmers.
They actively run on the farm, providing solutions to deal with problems and reducing farmers' losses.
When major seed companies are facing a big enemy, they choose to shrink their business, lay off employees, etc. to reduce losses.
Only Tianhe is like a clear stream, but instead increases the recruitment of personnel, and more technicians are running in the fields, trying to solve various difficulties.
Although it has little effect.
But compared to other companies' no trace, Tianhe has undoubtedly been recognized by many farmers.
The Mayor of Springfield praised Tianhe very much, and even the state government and the United States praised the Chinese planting company on formal occasions. …
Capital city.
A large meeting just ended, followed by several small meetings.
And then, a news was implemented: the Hongqi River project planning passed the review.
In an era when the Internet is becoming more and more developed, news began to spread at an astonishing speed and quickly topped the hot search list of major platforms.
It aroused the exclamations of many people who were eating melons.
"It's so exaggerated. It's only been a long time since the plan passed the review. This kind of super project planning will take several years."
"I expected this day since the launch of troops, but when it landed, there was still a sense of inreality."
"Can it be a rumor?"
Netizens were shocked, incredible, and even suspicious, but when the news broadcast was broadcast, all the doubts were rumored.
Then, there was overwhelming discussion.
The newest ⊥Xiao⊥Speak⊥Send⊥Six⊥9⊥Book⊥⊥⊥⊥Back⊥⊥⊥⊥!
"I'm going to have too much good news this year."
"It's really amazing to my country!"
"First there are southern Tibet, and then look at the chaos in the United States. Now the Hongqi River is coming again, it's really more important!"
"Not only, the changes in China over the years have been too great, especially in the Great Northwest. The green mountains and clear water environment has changed too much. If there is another Hongqi River in the future, it's impossible to imagine what the Great Northwest will become in the future."
"I feel that there will be a great opportunity for development in the northwest in the future!" "Did you see the people sitting in the first row? I think about it carefully. Jiahe is already so strong!" "The review of the Hongqi River's plan means too many things, which may be a real millennium plan.
Once completed, it is possible to change the history of the Northwest.
In the Han and Tang dynasties, the northwest was a place with abundant water and grass, and with the changes in climate and human factors, it eventually became a desert.
With the Hongqi River, the biggest water resource problem has been solved, and the prosperity of the Han and Tang dynasties may reappear in the northwest.
With the support of modern technology, the potential of the Northwest is beyond imagination, with a large granary, energy base, and rear...
The living space of Chinese people will be greatly increased, alleviating the existing various survival pressures.
Just just think about it, your heart will be surging.
Of course, noisy opposition is indispensable.
For example, ecological destruction, economic pressure.
Many experts and professors from universities have come forward to oppose it, and the so-called rural experts once again emphasized the oppression of capital on farmers.
The representative of it is Lin Song. This guy seemed to have a dispute with Jiahe and started to label Jiahe in a college speech.
"Super agricultural capital has been formed in China: Jiahe Group! Hongqi River is promoted by Jiahe."
"Because it is the biggest beneficiary of Hongqi River, Jiahe has a large area of land and agricultural base in the northwest, and the largest bioenergy forest base in China is in the hands of Jiahe.
Relying on energy forests, Jiahe has accumulated amazing wealth, and its strength is even better than that of large multinational groups such as Monsanto and the four major grain merchants! "
Lin Song's speech video was posted online without any surprise.
Comparing Jiahe with Monsanto and the four major grain merchants, netizens can understand that Jiahe is indeed very powerful and involves all aspects.
The rapid development of bioenergy in the past two years has made Jiahe a household name.
Every car owner with cheap biodiesel should give Jiahe one.
But far surpassed Monsanto and the four major grain merchants, netizens asked, "Professor Lin Song, do you know what this means?"
However, Lin Song was confident about it.
Because of the previous several grudges, Lin Song conducted an in-depth analysis of Jiahe, and it was impossible for the long-standing Liangzi to be exposed just like this.
In another university speech, Lin Song released the PPT he carefully produced for Jiahe.
This PPT was even collected by Guo Yang afterwards.
Because it was done so well.
It is like the People's Liberation Army under the lens of AFP, which creates a strong sense of oppression and murderous atmosphere, and captures the feeling of an invincible army.
You can doubt AFP's motivation, but you can't doubt their cameras.
In Lin Song's PPT, Jiahe is such an existence.
Involves more than a dozen fields including seeds, grass, milk, agricultural machinery, animal husbandry, sand industry, grain and oil, beverages, food, biotechnology, bioenergy, fertilizers, agricultural input circulation, finance, etc.
And every field has achieved industry leadership, and most of them are industry leaders!
Like a super industrial giant, agricultural empire!
Even if Guo Yang read Lin Song's PPT, he felt a sense of oppression.
Not to mention ordinary netizens.
"I actually feel invincible!"
"Too strong!"
"Scary!"
"So the giants are right next to us."
It attracted the attention of the whole society, and Lin Songcai asked leisurely: "Do you still support Hongqi River now?"
"After the Hongqi River is being renovated, Jiahe's agricultural empire will only become stronger and the lives of ordinary farmers in China will be more difficult."
"The lessons of Monsanto are right in front of you!"
When talking about Monsanto, there is a terrifying feeling. Netizens suspect that in the United States, Monsanto may have the effect of stopping the crying of a child.
Lin Song said: "Jiahe is another Monsanto. No, Jiahe is far more terrifying than Monsanto!"
The college student who watched the fun again asked, "Since Jiahe is so powerful, aren't you afraid that Jiahe will cause trouble for you?"
Lin Song said righteously: "Our responsibilities are unavoidable!"
The college student smiled sarcastically.
Lin Song said again: "If I disappear one day, don't doubt it is done by Jiahe!"
After this speech, Lin Songzhen disappeared out of thin air.
Surprised netizens.
It's really that amazing?
Not long after, someone revealed that Lin Song was invited to have tea, the kind that might not be able to come out.
The Hongqi River continues to be unremittingly promoted, and construction periods have even been circulated on the Internet.
The negative news about Jiahe also disappeared overnight, and countless people took a breath: Jiahe was so scary~
I can't afford to offend, I can't afford to offend.
Guo Yang, who was still admiring PPT in Jiuquan, suddenly felt that retribution had come after learning about all this from Lin Keqing's mouth.
Having got used to Monsanto's blame, Jiahe suddenly took the blame this time.
He is even more unfair than Monsanto.
I obviously did nothing!
But one thing Lin Song is right. In terms of economic size and strength, Jiahe may not find any opponent in the global agrochemical field.
The acquisition of Syngenta Monsanto is in danger. The damage to the American agricultural ecology has caused heavy losses to traditional giants such as Codyvaux, Bayer, BASF, and the four major grain merchants.
Jiahe takes the Chinese market as its foundation, and the giants' various businesses in China are beaten to death, and their overseas businesses are also rising rapidly.
The market that was vacant after Monsanto fell and the foreseeable food crisis will also bring huge profits to the well-prepared Jiahe.
Looking at the world, there is no one you can fight.
But he didn't want to take the blame.
