Chapter 338 Sure enough, it was snatched quickly

Looking at the evidence of his "Tongsu", Hirsch Bunge's hands and feet were cold.

Although Su is now dead and cannot die any more.

Although his purpose in sponsoring this organization was to enter the grain market in Hongsu.

But this is an untenable reason for not being able to see the light of day.

Although there are many people like him who do this kind of thing.

For example, Coca-Cola entered the red sugar market openly that year. But because it is an American company, it can be said that it has someone behind it, so there is no problem.

What about Bunge? In many cases, the government does not investigate unless the people report it. Even if the government finds out, it can still use money to smooth over the relationship in the United States.

But who made the Bunge family offend the Boston consortium this time? The relationship was not working.

From the perspective of Americans who want to stir up trouble, the evidence is solid and the charges are serious.

Not free enough, not democratic enough, he should be hanged on the street lamp! The Boston consortium is determined to get rid of him once this crime is exposed.

If it were known to the entire Western public.

In the face of this crime, it is useless for other financial groups to intervene! Hirsch Bunge also understood this key point clearly.

So the more he looked down, the more desperate he became.

"Mr. Bunge, do you think this is enough to send you to jail?"

"Do you think your son will come out first, or you?"

"Oh, yes. Perhaps you might be willing to give up all of this for the sake of your family, including yourself and your son."

"But think about it. We can send you and your wonderful son to prison. What will we do to the rest of the Bunji family to get what we want?"

"Oh, I forgot to tell you. Your Bunji family now has a total of 136 direct members, right? Don't worry, they will all reunite with you in prison."

"Some people may be charged with lighter crimes and be released in a few years. But some people may never be released until they die."

"I just wonder what your Bunji family will be like by that time."

“What will Bunge look like at that time?”

Every word Shabote said was like a sharp knife, stabbing Hirsch Bunge's heart.

"So, let's talk about how to sell the shares held by your family."

This time, although Hirsch Bunge's eyes were bloodshot and his whole body was shaking with anger, his mouth moved but he couldn't say no.

Faced with this threat, he lost any room for resistance and could only allow himself to be slaughtered by the Boston consortium.

“Da…da…da…”

The only sounds in the office were breathing and the ticking of clocks.

The sound grew louder and louder, like thunder, reverberating in Hirsch Bunge's mind.

I don’t know how long it took.

Hirsch Bunge lost his grip on the document and it fell to the ground, startling him and breaking the silence.

"One hundred and thirty-six million U.S. dollars, I can sell it to you, but I have some demands that you must agree to."

Hirsch Bunge said in a hoarse voice.

"Let's put the price aside for now. Tell us your requirements first."

Shabote said with a smile that he had taken the absolute initiative and he would not let Hirsch Bunge take advantage again.

Rather than argue over price first, Hirsch Bunge stated its demands.

"First, my son Nell must get out safely."

"Second, eliminate all evidence about us."

Shabote thought for a moment and replied, "Now that Nell is in, it will be very difficult to get him out. We must find someone else to take the responsibility, which will cost us a lot."

This sentence is actually fake and is just used for bargaining.

Hirsch had no way of telling at this time.

Shabote continued, "As for the clues to your crime, there are quite a lot of them, and it would cost a lot to completely erase them."

Hirsch Bunge sneered, "I understand this. Whether the price is high or not, you can't fool me."

"I believe you can do these things easily."

"If you can do that, all of the Bunge family's shares will be sold to you for 13.6 billion U.S. dollars."

Shabote sneered and shook his head: "Your price is too high."

"The issue of Bunge manipulating food prices will definitely be dealt with, and the Ministry of Justice will issue a huge fine."

"The Ministry of Agriculture and the General Administration of Customs will issue sky-high fines if there are any problems with Brazilian soybean inspections, not to mention that there will be a series of adverse effects later, which will cause huge losses to Bunge."

"The shares you hold are no longer worth this price."

"Five billion dollars. This is the price of the shares held by the Bunge family now."

"impossible!"

Hirsch Bunge's veins bulged and his chest felt like it was about to explode. This price was absolutely an insult.

The Ministry of Justice and the Ministry of Agriculture issued sky-high fines?

If Bunge really falls into the hands of the Boston consortium, they will have plenty of ways to solve the problem half-heartedly.

Especially regarding the inspection of 200,000 tons of soybeans, the Boston consortium has full control over whether there are any problems with the inspection. Hirsch Bunge doesn't believe that there will be a sky-high fine.

As for the issue of manipulating food prices, whether the fine is $100,000 or hundreds of millions of dollars, this cannot escape the control of the Boston consortium.

But then again, Hirsch Bunge had no room for resistance.

His attitude was already clear when he agreed to continue talking.

So next.

No professional negotiators were involved, and the negotiations were conducted by only Shabotei and Hirsch Bunge.

Hershey Bunge's price has dropped to $10 billion.

On the same day, the negotiations were suspended and Hirsch Bunge contacted his son again.

Faced with such a desperate situation, Nell had no choice but to give in. He had no choice but to give in. The detective guarding him had a gloomy look in his eyes, and it seemed that he would be killed in the next moment.

When people are dying, there really is nothing left.

Nell could only persuade her father to compromise.

The next day, the two sides negotiated again.

In the end, Hirsch Bunge made a complete compromise and was willing to sell all of the Bunge family's 67.9% stake in Bunge for US$9.5 billion.

At this price, it would be a lie to say that I don’t feel heartbroken.

But Hirsch Bunge could only comfort himself that if he did not compromise, he might really die in prison.

It would be fine if both father and son died.

There is a high probability that the entire Bunge family will be completely destroyed.

By then, Bunge will still not be able to escape the fate of being swallowed up.

Now we can get $9.5 billion, plus the original assets.

The Bunge family is still a wealthy family with a net worth of over $10 billion.

As long as the next generation works hard, there is still capital for a comeback.

Soon, the two parties completed the transaction and Paladin Capital took over Bunge.

When this news came out, many people marveled at the efficiency of the Boston consortium, but also secretly lamented that they were ruthless enough.

Of course, Milo didn't pay attention to all this.

He only knew that if he got Bunge, he would have the most critical link in his global food industry layout! After taking over the Bunge family's shares, Paladin Capital owned 90.3% of Bunge's shares.

Faced with this shareholding ratio, other small shareholders have no room for resistance.

Faced with the acquisition offer from Paladin Capital, they all accepted it tactfully.

In just two days, the remaining 9.7% of the shares were acquired, and Paladin Capital completed its 100% control of Bunge.

All in all, the total cost was 15.08425 billion US dollars.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

They snatched up an international bulk trading giant with total assets of US$28.079 billion and a net asset of US$13.005 billion.

It has to be said that robbery really makes money quickly. The lower class in the United States can buy for free, the middle class in the United States can enjoy various low-cost services provided by foreigners, and the top class in the United States directly robs foreign companies...

Before, Hong Su fell down and devoured the corpse crazily. Now Milo is robbing Bunge, and someone will rob Alstom in the future... Hey, why can't Milo be the one to rob Alstom?

In short, after completing the acquisition, Milo began to resolve other hidden dangers and fulfill the agreement at the same time.

First, at the FBI side, the crime was pinned on an employee, and Neil Bunge was cleared. After going through the subsequent procedures, he was at most sentenced to a small fine.

Of course, the profits from manipulating food prices ultimately went into Bunge's pocket.

So in the end Bunge will still be fined, but the fine will definitely be kept to the minimum.

More importantly, if he is punished this time, all previous charges will be settled.

For Bunge, eliminating a huge hidden danger is a good thing.

This is to avoid being targeted by a consortium of the same size in the future, which would not be an easy outcome.

The Ministry of Agriculture and the General Administration of Customs also completed comprehensive inspections on all 200,000 tons of imported Brazilian soybeans and found no problems, so they were approved for entry.

Everything went smoothly. By the time the Mellon Group had completed its internal negotiations and reached a consensus, the Bunge family had already surrendered.

Even during the entire process, Milo did not show up in person.

He has been staying in Europe and has become a guest of honor of European royal families.

It must be said that although these feudal lords seem to have very little property on the property lists published by the media.

It seems that without government funding, life will become difficult.

But in fact, apart from the Greek royal family who are still in exile, there are also nobles who have lost their country.

In most European constitutional monarchies, their royal families are often the largest landowners in their country, like the Windsor family.

At least one of them.

Moreover, the land of these old guys is often in core locations.

In other words, valuable.

Therefore, they are not as poor as they appear, even though most of their assets are real estate, and many of them cannot be sold.

But capitalism has plenty of ways to monetize them.

In other words, these guys are actually very rich. They also accumulated wealth when old Europe robbed and exploited the whole world for two or three hundred years.

They are not as poor as they appear in the media; that is just a mask they need to present to the nation.

Faced with the crazy Internet craze this time, many of them were moved.

They all wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to make a fortune, and took advantage of the opportunity to get to know Milo, and were hooked one after another through various suit companies, white gloves and suit people.

This was a pleasant surprise to Milo, even though they would probably hate him to death afterwards.

But this is a matter of mutual consent, and Milo didn't put a gun to their heads to ask them to invest.

Besides, a bunch of sunsets can only affect old Europe and some of the old guys in their former colonies.

Even the whole of old Europe will be squeezed by the United States until only skin and blood are left.

So how much are their hatred and anger worth?

So Milo was not worried at all, he had linked everything together. In more than a month, hundreds of billions of dollars of funds flowed out of old Europe and flowed to Silicon Valley...

It also pushed the Nasdaq, which was booming, to a higher climax.

A huge bubble that is far bigger and more beautiful than the Internet bubble in a parallel universe.

For example, there is an Internet company called Pets.com in Silicon Valley.

This company, which mainly engages in e-commerce of pet supplies, was valued at $300 million when it went public last year.

But its business model relies heavily on low-price dumping and free delivery, and its actual revenue is far lower than its costs.

The company has been in operation for less than 20 months since its listing, but it has already shown signs of bankruptcy.

But on the stock market, its market value is still as high as nearly 700 million US dollars.

Another online grocery delivery company, Webvan, recently raised funds at a valuation of $1.2 billion in an IPO.

But it even plans to spend $1 billion to build a warehousing network across the United States.

However, its high logistics costs and inefficient operations make it impossible to achieve these goals.

In addition to those Silicon Valley garage companies that generally have only a dozen or so employees and rush to go public in just one or two years, or even a few months.

Even the more formal Internet companies are outrageous.

Because the Internet is so popular now, in order to attract talents, most Internet companies generally use stock options to attract talents, and employees may even become rich overnight due to the company's listing.

For example, in order to compete with Yahoo Group, the stock options of an ordinary Microsoft engineer this year could be worth millions of dollars.

Microsoft is actually not so bad, after all, it is profitable and sustainable.

Some outrageous start-up company employees often become "paper millionaires" because of their company's IPO.

Because they cannot cash out those stocks at all, their million-dollar fortune can only exist in the current crazy Nasdaq.

Not to mention the "luxury office" tradition (such as free meals and entertainment facilities) initiated by Milo and now regarded as a rule throughout Silicon Valley.

For example, Yahoo and eBay offer employees free massages, game rooms and other benefits in an effort to compete for talent.

Other latecomers, in order to be able to compete with companies like Milo.

The conditions and benefits they offer are even crazier. Some companies directly help with medical insurance, and some even directly help with the down payment for buying a house near Silicon Valley...

"Valuation detached from fundamentals" and "welfare competition" are the two biggest characteristics of the late bursting of the Nasdaq bubble.

It’s everywhere in Silicon Valley now.

SO, in the autumn harvest season.

The bitter cold winter is hiding behind.
