François, the old man, is indeed a shrewd man. In order to be able to participate in this project, he directly put several shareholders of the Nice company on the table.
He knew that everyone was aware of the power and profits of industry, and that no one here should not want to participate in this project.
Now, if you want to participate in the project, you must choose between Nice Company and Fangyuan Group.
He himself does not own any shares in Nice.
So there is no need to think about it, he is definitely on the side of Fangyuan Group.
Then there are several families that own shares in the Nice Group, which obviously becomes an obstacle for them to join.
At this meeting today, he directly exposed this matter.
If these families do not stand on their side, they will become enemies of everyone.
This move of the old guy is really experienced.
...
...
As soon as the old man finished speaking, the faces of four people attending the meeting changed.
Everyone's eyes were focused on a few people.
This made several people feel as if they were being stabbed in the back, and their faces turned very ugly.
After a long while, someone finally said in a bright voice:
“This… please rest assured, I will definitely stand with you. As for the Nice Group’s plan to suppress Fangyuan Group’s grain import and export business, this is the opinion of the company’s management.
I can help mediate and make sure the company abandons this inappropriate idea as soon as possible."
The other three quickly agreed.
Afraid of arousing public anger.
Smart spoke again at this time:
"If I exchange the shares of Nice Company with Mr. Fang for the shares of the new project, will Mr. Fang agree?"
He regretted it the moment he said it. How could he say such a thing out loud?
I should do it quietly and privately!
Since Nice Company and Fangyuan Group are competitors, using the competitor's shares as a token of sincerity to exchange for shares will surely be accepted by the other party!
After all, this is equivalent to putting the other person's life in his hands!
When the people around heard Smart's words, their eyes lit up.
Yes! Why didn’t I think of this method?
The four people who had just been stared at by everyone now felt mixed emotions.
They understood that what Smart said made sense, as they themselves owned shares in Nice.
Then as long as they are willing, they can be the first to participate in Fangyuan Group's project using this method.
But they are part of Nice Company after all. Once this method is adopted, it means that the major shareholder of Nice Company will soon change.
After all, it is one of their own industries, so they are certainly unwilling to give it up.
But they soon felt relieved.
After all, François had just said that the President had decided to stand on the side of Fangyuan Group, so it would be futile for them to resist.
This is also good. When there is danger, "crisis" is often accompanied by opportunities. Isn't this an opportunity?
Since I own shares in Nice Company, can't I take the lead in negotiating with Fangyuan Group and win the best projects?
Soon, someone took the initiative to come forward and talk:
"Brother, you see, the future of Nice Company is bleak now! How about you sell your shares to me? How about I buy them at a premium?"
"Yeah! Brother, I'll buy it at a high price."
"Do you think I'm stupid?"
It is somewhat insulting to one's intelligence to come to them and buy stocks at this time.
The four people who held Nice Company stocks were so angry that they wanted to slap them.
Although the others did not speak, they had already started to think about where to buy Nice Company's shares.
Soon someone stood up and said:
“Mr. Francois, guys, when I went out to get it just now, my wife was about to give birth.
Everyone continue the meeting here. I'm going to go see how my wife is doing, and then I'll take my leave!"
One person started the conversation, and someone else immediately followed up:
"Oh! My old man fell down this morning. I need to go to the hospital to see him. I'll take my leave now.
I will treat everyone to a meal when I have time. "
Soon, people in the room found various reasons to leave.
In fact, everyone knows very well what is going on.
After watching everyone leave, the old man François no longer remained reserved. He picked up the phone next to him and dialed.
"Brother! I heard that you own 2% of the shares of Nice Company, right?"
"How about transferring it to me? I'll give you a 10% premium. I won't let you suffer any loss."
"What? Nothing! I was just thinking about whether there is any chance to get involved in the grain import and export business."
"Give me one percent? That's fine. Wherever you are, I'll come over to sign the agreement with you."
For a time, Nice's stock price began to soar. Fortunately, Nice is not a listed company.
The stocks were only transferred privately. If they were traded on the secondary market, they would probably soar to a sky-high price.
Some shareholders of Nice were also puzzled. Overnight, shares of Nice became very popular.
I receive more than a dozen quote calls in one day.
But there is no such thing as a wall that is impenetrable, and soon the reason why everyone acquired shares in Nice became known.
This made the major shareholders of Nice Company very angry. You are scrambling to use the shares of Nice Company to please my opponents!
This is intolerable. Rather than letting you guys take advantage of me, I'd rather let me do it myself.
The next day, after Fang Lang got up, his assistants came to report that there were rumors outside that they could use Nice Company's stocks to exchange for Fangyuan Group's shares in the automobile industry.
Everyone was scrambling to buy shares of Nice Company like crazy.
Now almost half of Nice's shareholders have been replaced.
And people kept calling, saying that they had shares in Nice and hoped to be qualified to participate in the automotive industry.
This made Fang Lang laugh and cry. He didn't expect that the automobile industry would be so attractive.
But this can be considered an unexpected success.
Soon, Fang Lang organized a bidding conference, in which all companies that owned shares of Nice Company could exchange their shares of Nice Company for shares of equivalent value in various supporting companies.
Of course, this value is calculated based on the stock price valuation of Nice before it became popular.
As for the shares of the auto parts company, Fang Lang calculated it based on the amount of funds he was prepared to invest.
Fang Lang retained a minimum of 30% of the shares of each auto parts company, and for the two car brands, Mercedes-Benz and Porsche, he retained an absolute controlling stake of 51%.
It is certainly not enough to exchange the shares of one company, Nice, for the shares of more than 40 auto parts companies.
Therefore, each family that uses Nice Company shares to exchange for shares also has the right to purchase the company's circulating shares in cash.
The final result was that Fang Lang simply signed a joint venture agreement with the German company and owned 30% of the shares of each supporting enterprise without investing a penny of capital.
and 51 percent of the shares of the two OEMs.
The funds needed to build the factory have been raised by the participating families in Brazil.
Fang Lang had a real experience of getting something for nothing.
The most important thing is that the Nice Company, which originally expressed its intention to suppress Fangyuan Group’s grain import and export enterprises, has completely changed hands.
Fangyuan Group now owns 75 percent of the shares of the company called Nice Grain and Oil Import and Export Company.
Became the absolute majority shareholder.
To this end, Fang Lang directly ordered the integration of Fangyuan Group's grain and oil company into the Nice Grain and Oil Import and Export Enterprise.
As for why the Nice Grain and Oil Import and Export Company was not integrated into Fangyuan Grain and Oil, it was to downplay the Chinese background of this company.
At the same time, in order to respond to the erosion of the Brazilian grain and oil market by the American company Bunge, Fang Lang directly ordered Nice Company to begin large-scale integration of domestic grain and oil processing plants.
Optimize and standardize production processes, and use a unified grain and oil trademark brand across the country.
At the same time, the fertilizer and pesticide plants in Rio Grande do Sul were integrated into the Nice company.
Through a series of measures, Fangyuan Group's shares in Nice Company expanded from 75% to 85%.
Because Nice is a non-listed company and its shareholding situation does not need to be disclosed to the market, no one knows that this old Brazilian grain and oil company has unknowingly become a subsidiary of Fangyuan Group.
Most importantly, Fang Lang wanted to learn from the world's four largest grain traders and ordered the state branches in Brazil to start signing agreements with farmers in each state.
Nice Company provides fertilizers, pesticides and high-quality seeds, and each farm is responsible for planting. After all the grain is harvested, it is directly purchased by Nice Company at an agreed price.
In this way, each farmer greatly reduces the initial capital investment. They only need to plant the seeds provided by the Nice Company, and there is no need to worry about no one buying the crops or the price being bad.
Of course, this also directly led to the farmers becoming employees of the Nice Company.
Fang Lang has even begun preparing business for the later aircraft company.
In the future, Nice Company will directly set up a special fleet to be responsible for spraying pesticides for various large farms.
Farmers don’t even have to take responsibility for applying pesticides themselves.
Nice Company uses airplanes to spray pesticides, which is cheaper and more efficient.
It's like killing two birds with one stone.
This is the successful business strategy of the world's four largest grain traders. Once this plan was announced, it caused an uproar in the Nice company.
No one had imagined that agricultural production could be carried out in this way.
This caused an uproar among the management of Nice Company, but also caused them to admire it very much.
Everyone was secretly thankful that we joined this company.
There is virtually no chance of success in competing with such a company.
Because this company almost undertakes all aspects of grain processing from sowing to harvesting.
Farmers pretty much just have to lie on the land and wait to collect the money.
Some farmers were even more straightforward and said that they would rent their farms to Nice Company, which would then organize its own staff to take charge of all aspects of grain production.
In just over two months, the new Nice company controlled almost 70 percent of the farms in Brazil through this method.
By the time Bunge reacted, they found that there was no soil for them to survive in the entire Brazil.
In order to meet Brazil's demand for fertilizers and pesticides, Nice Company began to rapidly expand fertilizer and pesticide factories in Brazil through construction and mergers.
To this end, Nice once again placed a large order for fertilizer and pesticide production equipment from Cole Corporation in the United States through Global Trading Company. Richard Cole of Cole Corporation said that it was worth it to help Fang Lang get the penicillin production line.
Even his son Charlie Cole exclaimed that he had made a fortune.
Of course, Fang Lang would not miss this opportunity to expand the scale of the penicillin production line.
A year later, the Nice Group officially became the largest grain trader in South America and established a specialized fertilizer, pesticide and grain research institute in São Paulo, hiring more than 300 of the best biologists and chemists from all over the world to conduct research here.
The following year, the Nice Group began to infiltrate neighboring countries. With the successful experience in Brazil, the Nice Group quickly controlled Argentina's grain and oil production.
After controlling grain and oil, the Nice Group began to enter the sugar, alcohol and beef and mutton markets.
Ten years later, the Nice Group officially became one of the world's largest grain traders.
Regardless of how much money he can make, his influence on farmers across the country is unmatched.
This also meant that later government officials had to obtain the support of Nice Company if they wanted to win the votes of farmers.
Because Nice Company controls the jobs of farmers across Brazil.
Naturally, Fangyuan Group's influence in Brazilian politics has become crucial.
