v3 Chapter 1425： Forced until he sells!

With his current net worth, he has the funds to buy any of the four major international grain merchants in the next generations, and it is not bad to pack them together.

Even at the peak of these four major grain merchants, Xia Yu is not afraid of his current capital.

It's just that Xia Yu knows very well that money is of great use, but it is not a panacea.

Put yourself in the situation, if someone wants to buy his Jiuding Bank and Jiuding Securities Company with money, how could he sell it?

Even if the premium is five times the price, he will not sell it!

This is no longer a question of money. These companies are the foundation of their lives and cannot be sold!

For these food merchant families, the company is also not for sale.

Otherwise, it will not develop steadily, and it will not be listed for hundreds of years.

Just like Cargill, even in later generations, it has not gone public, and the entire family will guard this company to survive.

So now Xia Yu wants to acquire these non-listed companies, it is extremely difficult!

"Anyway, you still have to try your best, otherwise it will take a long time to catch up with the accumulation of these companies for hundreds of years."

"Any one of ABCD should give it a try. The focus is on ADM. This one should have the greatest probability of success..."

After making a decision.

Xia Yu immediately asked the family office to give orders.

Among them, the Bright Fund is responsible for acquiring the French company Louis Dreyfus and the Dutch Bunge company.

Polaris Capital Corporation is responsible for the acquisition of Cargill and ADM.

As for other companies such as Icham, Dalivan, Paul Reinhardt, Oran, etc., they are used as alternatives.

Of course, if one of the four major grain merchants can be acquired, these companies can also be used as targets for mergers and acquisitions to enhance their own strength and improve the global industrial layout.

After all, it can be seen from the survey data that the current four major grain merchants are not the next four major grain merchants, and none of them has achieved absolute dominance in the market, and they are still expanding.

For example, ADM only established a branch in Hong Kong, the Oriental International Port, in 1983. It only formulated a European expansion strategy this year. It is now trying to expand through mergers and acquisitions in the Netherlands and West Germany.

After ordering the following actions.

The focus of Xia Yu's work has not left the field of bulk agricultural products trading.

The acquisition of these four major grain merchants does not affect the continued expansion of Swire Agricultural Group.

Xiangjiang is adjacent to Southeast Asia, and Xia Yu wants to build Southeast Asia into a rear area. He has deepened his control in various fields and will naturally not ignore the biggest characteristics of Southeast Asia!

Rice is the world's food variety, and in Asia, rice production accounts for more than 92% of the world's rice production.

Among them, Southeast Asia and other countries account for 18% of the total rice output in Asia and one-sixth of the world's rice output!

Because of the unique climate in Southeast Asia, rice accounts for more than 80% of the arable land of food crops in Southeast Asian countries.

Southeast Asian countries are also very dependent on rice exports. The rice exports of Southeast Asian countries account for two-thirds of the total Asian rice exports.

Of course, from a lot of data, one can see the influence of Southeast Asia in the rice field.

However, if we analyze some data more deeply, we can see that Southeast Asian countries still have a lot of room for improvement in the entire rice industry chain.

For example, there are island countries with more people and less land in the horizontal comparison, and intensive cultivation of the land.

The rice yield per hectare historically exceeded 60 quintals per hectare in 1977. One quintal is equal to 100 kg, so the yield per hectare is more than six tons.

This is still the yield under the condition that Huaxia's hybrid rice has no technological output.

And Southeast Asia?

At the same time, only Indonesia and Malaysia had more than 20 quintals per hectare.

In countries such as Myanmar, Cambodia, Thailand, and the Philippines, none of them exceed 20 quintals per hectare, and the lowest in Thailand even yields less than 120 kilograms of rice per acre!

In Indonesia and Malaysia, where the yield per mu is higher, rice cultivation is the second largest crop after rubber cultivation.

In contrast, this is not the case in other countries.

It can be seen from this that countries such as Myanmar, Cambodia, Thailand, and the Philippines do not make full use of the land at all, and they all use extensive planting management.

Even if the rice production on these lands has more than tripled, it can be comparable to the island country’s rice yield.

However, with nearly 25 million hectares of rice planting in these four countries, if it catches up with the island country’s planting level, it will increase production by nearly 100 million tons.

Not to mention the output of hybrid rice technology in mainland China after it is extended to Southeast Asia.

Therefore, it is an excellent time to penetrate into the rice industry of Southeast Asian countries.

In the case that China, a large rice-growing country, does not export rice, in-depth control of the rice industry in Southeast Asian countries is enough to create a world-class food giant.

In addition to Southeast Asia, India on the South Asian peninsula is also a large agricultural country.

Because of its unique geographical environment and climatic conditions, India has a very high position in crops such as cotton, rice, wheat, corn and jute.

Take cotton as an example. India is the world's largest cotton producer, accounting for more than a quarter of the world's cotton production.

The Taikoo Cotton Company under Xia Yu's Taikoo Agriculture Group is India's domestic cotton giant and has been developing in India for nearly a hundred years.

Only because the Swire Agricultural Group was not the highest in the entire Swire Consortium before, it was unable to obtain too much resource support from the Swire Consortium, so even if Swire Cotton had developed in India for nearly a hundred years, it did not occupy the supreme market dominance.

After the Taikoo Agricultural Group was acquired by Xia Yu, Xia Yu did not interfere too much and placed it under the Jiuding Industrial Group, allowing it to develop on its own.

Compared with being under the Swire Consortium, there are naturally more resources of all kinds, and the development is also faster, but it is not fast to the point of exaggeration.

After all, compared with companies in the fields of heavy industry, finance and media, Xia Yu didn't pay enough attention to it before.

But now that Xia Yu's sight is placed here, resources will definitely be tilted a lot.

Soon, Xia Yu went directly over Wei Li of Jiuding Industrial Group and summoned the president of Taikoo Agricultural Group.

After some detailed discussions, Xia Yu injected 600 million Hong Kong dollars into Swire Agriculture Group, allowing Swire Agriculture Group to develop in large strides in accordance with its long-term plan.

At the time when Swire Agriculture Group was gearing up to set off an "agricultural whirlwind" in Southeast Asia and South Asia.

News of the acquisition of ABCD's four major grain merchants has come in one after another.

As expected by Xia Yu, the news was not good.

France's Louis Dreyfus and Dutch Bunge, in the face of the Bright Fund’s price increases, did not hesitate to refuse and declared that the company would not sell.

In the United States, Cargill, faced with the bargaining chip thrown by Polaris Capital, the Macmillan and Cargill families also did not hesitate to reject and were also very vigilant. After rejecting Polaris Capital, the first I contacted some other small shareholders at a time, and wanted to acquire 12% of the shares outside the two big families, and realize the joint 100% control of the two big families.

In the last ADM company, the owner of the company, Duane Andrés, also resisted fiercely and had a bad attitude. No one should try to steal ADM from him.

Polaris Capital acquired 22.4% of the shares from other shareholders. Due to Duane Andres, the acquisition stalled.

However, compared with the other three companies, ADM is still open, but it is very difficult to continue to go down.

After knowing this situation.

Xia Yu has the same attitude.

It must be bought!

If Duane Andres doesn't sell it, he has to *** until he sells it!

For this, any means can be used!
