Chapter 1182 Undercurrent

Back then, Fang Mingyuan "predicted" the Kobe Earthquake. Although it caused a lot of trouble in Japan, for the media in European and American countries, it was not something they needed to pay attention to at all, and for the intricate relationship between the Japanese and the Chinese This relationship is not clear to ordinary Europeans and Americans.

Afterwards, neither Japan nor China made much publicity about this matter. The Japanese who were beaten in the face and "slapped" naturally had no shame to expose their ugliness.He is even more restrained about foreign media.On Huaxia's side, the news of being suppressed was not spread, and there was no report afterwards.Therefore, not many people in China really know about this matter.This also makes this matter not known to everyone.After all these years, the young Japanese may not be very clear about what happened at the beginning, let alone foreigners like De Quilian and the others.Sanders and Nikolaou had the opportunity to hear about it because they have been in East Asia for many years.

"How is this possible?" De Quilian couldn't help being dumbfounded, and it took a long time to squeeze out a word from between his teeth.

"It really sounds impossible, but in fact it is!" Sanders spread his hands helplessly. When he heard the news, his first reaction was the same, but after his many arguments, it was true. Undeniably a fact.

"#¥#%!" De Quilian muttered indistinctly.For such a guy, he was also a little helpless.The pressure from the Japanese government has not been able to make him bow his head. He does not think that the influence of the four major multinational food giants on the Chinese government can exceed that of the world's second largest economic power.Moreover, this is also a normal commercial competition!
"That's a monster!" Nicholas said leisurely, "Thinking about his international influence and his strong net worth, the Chinese government must treat him as a treasure. They want to use officials to report to him Putting pressure on you, I advise you to discard this idea." In China, power certainly outweighs wealth.But that also depends on the extent of the other party's financial resources.Although they don't know Fang Mingyuan's net worth, this question is not easy for Fang Mingyuan himself, but at least they know that "Fang" should be the most expensive film screenwriter in the world today, and Hong Kong Kumho Film Group It's no secret that the Fang family occupies a controlling position in the company.Moreover, the Fang family owns the largest and most successful chain retail supermarket in China.There are two steel companies, an oil company, a successful electronics company, an automobile company...

De Quilian grinned. Although he is not as familiar with China's national conditions as Nicolaus and Sanders, he also understands that for such a person who can stand at the top of the world in a certain field, no matter where he is placed In the country, the city is the treasure of the government.Especially in China, a country that is showing its strength to the international community.Even more so!
"Then let him snatch the meat from our mouths?" De Quilian said indignantly.For this day, the four multinational grain giants did not know how much work they had done in advance. They have been deployed in the United States and South America for many years, and dumped soybeans at low prices.This promotes the rapid development of China's crushing industry, resulting in a situation of overcapacity, because most of these oil crushing companies blindly rely on imported soybeans with relatively cheap prices, and enjoy huge crushing profits from it.But this way.It will lead to the simplification of their raw material sources and the serious homogeneity of their products!This in turn makes most of these oil extraction companies have the same business model, the means of competition are not new, and the overall ability to resist business risks is generally low.They rely heavily on bank letters of credit for capital turnover, and once there is a credit crunch, these companies will have difficulty in capital turnover.

The multinational food giants were able to take advantage of the sharp rise and fall of soybean prices this time, causing these private oil extraction companies in China to face serious losses, and even a crisis of bankruptcy on a large scale, opening up a channel for their own capital to enter the domestic soybean oil extraction market in China.But just when they were about to receive the abundant fruits and taste their delicious taste, the Fang family jumped out and picked some of the best fruits in advance, how could they tolerate it!

"Unless we are willing to offer more lucrative benefits, otherwise, the Fang family has an advantage in the local area, and many companies are still afraid of us and are unwilling to give up their shares easily." Sanders sighed softly, "especially It is the aggressive expansion of Xihai Lunong Bean Industry Group Co., Ltd. this time, which has made many companies favor the Fang family." They also want the right to purchase raw materials, but the Fang family does not want equity, and there is a time limit. In other words, it is In theory, the bosses of these enterprises have one day to completely regain control of these enterprises, and once the shares are handed over to these foreign investors, unless the other party's owner withdraws the capital, otherwise, given China's national conditions, it will be difficult to take them back!
"Moreover, Mr. De Quillian, Mr. Sanders, we must compete with the Fang family within the scope permitted by the business rules." Nikolaou reminded, "Don't forget, the Fang family also has domestic Carrefour Group, the largest retail supermarket chain, is located in almost all large and medium-sized cities in China, and the residents of these cities are the main consumers of our future products!" If they dare not abide by the business rules, then Be prepared for the possibility of being rejected by the Carrefour Group!This also means they lost an important customer and sales channel!
In particular, the reputation of the Carrefour Group occupies a very high position among the residents of these cities. If their products are rejected by the Carrefour Group, then many people may suspect that they are quality problems.Although they can also export these products overseas, but losing Huaxia, the largest soybean oil consumer market, their acquisition this time can be said to be a failure!
De Quillian opened his eyes wide, looked at the helpless Sanders, and realized that Nikolaou was not just talking, and his heart sank again.How come this Fang family seems to have predicted everything, and insists on killing all the possible means they may use in the bud.The sharpest methods used to deal with domestic enterprises in Huaxia were all either ineffective or restrained.

"Both of you, you don't have to feel too anxious, and we don't have countermeasures. Two days ago, when I was in Hong Kong, I was requested by Leandro Plumli of Monsanto Company. Once I met with representatives of the Seleznov family and the Milevsky family from Ukraine. Although the representatives of these two families have not yet reached an agreement with our Jiaji Company, no matter whether it is successful or not, at least we will make a deal. Messed up his plan!" Nicholas said with a bit of pride.

"What does 'Fang' have to do with Ukrainians?" De Quillian frowned. Although Ukraine is known as the "granary of Europe", after the disintegration of the former Soviet Union, Ukraine's agriculture suffered a severe setback, and the "granary of Europe" has also been in need for many years. When food is imported to meet national needs.Although Ukraine's agriculture has improved in recent years, it seems that there are no crops that can be exported overseas in large quantities except soybeans.And even soybeans.The amount that can be exported every year is only one million tons.For the rich and powerful Louis Dafu Group, this is nothing at all.

"'Fang' intends to monopolize all Ukrainian soybean exports!" Nikolai gloated, "Before October [-], he did this. The prices kept going up, and they stupidly paid a lot of money to cancel the contract. As a result, this year, they are completely unlucky." Sanders and De Quilian also laughed, and they can imagine that the Ukrainians are watching This is what it looks like when the price of soybeans in the international market plummets.

"It's really stupid!" Sanders laughed. "Isn't it all cheap 'Fang'? Now they come back to 'Fang'. 'Fang' can't give them any more good looks." The price is high If the soybeans cannot be sold, they want to renew the contract. For such a person who has no credibility at all.Naturally, it is impossible to gain people's trust.Even the four major multinational food giants should try their best to avoid this from happening.

"Ukrainians... hum... they have been out of the international market for too long!" De Quilian shook his head again and again.

"As far as I know, the Jiahua Edible Oil Group Company under the Carrefour Group, as well as the Xihai Lunong Bean Industry Group Company. Their soybean processing capacity is close to 600 million tons. Except for a part that can be provided by China, most of them Some of them still need to be purchased from the international market. The Ukrainians have also seen this. After all, having a stable source of goods is also a good thing for 'Fang'." Nikolai said confidently, "So, I Think that we don't need to confront 'Fang' head-on in China, we can use our advantages to snipe them in the international market!"

Sanders and De Quillian smiled knowingly. Yes, Nikolaou was right. China is the home of the Fang family, but the international soybean market is the home of their multinational grain giants.After years of operation, the four major multinational grain giants have already occupied an extremely considerable market share in the international grain market. It is difficult for Huaxia to import tens of millions of tons of soybeans without bypassing the four major multinational grain giants. .

"However, this still requires the cooperation of Achenesmead Company." Sanders said, "Mr. Aldridge already has an appointment tonight. The Singaporean introduced him to meet with the head of a state-owned enterprise in Huaxia." Achenes Mead Company is also one of the four major multinational food giants. It also entered China's territory quite early, but it just joined forces with the Singaporeans.With the help of Singapore, an ally that Chinese people have always regarded as foreign compatriots, the development of Achenesmead Company in China can be said to be smooth.

"I think, Mr. Aldridge, he will not refuse this proposal that is obviously beneficial to both of us." De Quilian laughed.Nicholas and Wu laughed knowingly. The four major multinational grain giants are both competitors and cooperative allies. China's crop market is so large that it far exceeds any country in the world, and any multinational grain giant. If they want to swallow this market, they have more than enough energy but not enough energy, and they also have to face the competition from local Chinese companies, so in this period, the relationship between them is that cooperation is greater than competition!
"But before that, we should enjoy the good news from South America, and at the same time give fire to these companies in China!" Sanders said with a smile.

Time has entered the second half of April, and the price of soybeans in the international market has plummeted again, with a one-day drop of nearly 5.00%, making farmers in South American countries and soybean importers in China break out in a cold sweat. Compared with the peak period, the market price has fallen by more than 40.00%!South American farmers who originally wanted to hold back on selling soybeans and waited for a rebound in soybean prices could no longer hold back and sold their stocks one after another, while these crushing companies in China also accelerated their pace.
