Rebirth of the Strongest Tycoon

With his current net worth and capital, the four major international grain merchants in the next generation, he has the funds to buy any one at this time, and it is not bad to pack them together.

Even if these four major grain merchants were at their peak in later generations, Xia Yu's current capital would not be afraid.

It's just that Xia Yu knows very well that money is very useful, but it is not everything.

Put yourself in the shoes and think, if someone else wants to spend money to buy his Jiuding Bank and Jiuding Securities Company, how can he sell them?

Even at five times the premium he wouldn't sell it!

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

For these grain 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 was also not listed, and the entire family guarded the company to survive.

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

"In any case, you still have to try your best, otherwise it will take a long time to catch up with the heritage accumulated by these companies for hundreds of years."

"Any one of the ABCDs should be tried. The focus is on ADM. This one should have the highest probability of success..."

After making a decision.

Xia Yu immediately asked the family office to issue an order.

Among them, the Bright Fund is responsible for the acquisition of the French Louis Dreyfus Company and the Dutch Bunge Company.

Polaris Capital, on the other hand, is responsible for the acquisition of Cargill and ADM.

As for other companies such as Ikem, Dalivan, Paul Reinhardt, Oran and other companies, 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 M\u0026A targets 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 four major grain merchants of later generations, and none of them have achieved absolute dominance in the market, and they are still expanding.

For example, ADM company set up a branch in Xiangjiang, the Oriental International Port in 1983.

The European expansion strategy was only formulated this year, and it is now trying to expand through mergers and acquisitions in the Netherlands and West Germany.

After commanding the following actions.

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

The acquisition of these four major grain merchants does not affect Swire Agriculture Group's continued expansion of its strength.

Xiangjiang is adjacent to Southeast Asia, and Xia Yu wants to build Southeast Asia into a large rear area. He has deepened control from various fields, and naturally he will not ignore the biggest feature 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, in Southeast Asia and other countries, the rice output accounts 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 occupies more than 80% of the arable land for food crops in Southeast Asian countries.

Southeast Asian countries are also very dependent on the export of rice. The export volume of rice in Southeast Asian countries accounts for two-thirds of the total rice export in Asia.

Of course, the influence of Southeast Asia in the field of rice can be seen from many data.

But if you analyze some data more deeply, you can see that there is still a lot of room for improvement in the entire rice industry chain in Southeast Asian countries.

For example, horizontally compare the island countries with more people and less land, and intensively cultivate the land.

In 1977, the yield per unit of rice historically exceeded 60 quintals per hectare, and one quintal equals 100 kilograms, so the yield per hectare is more than six tons.

This is still the yield of Huaxia hybrid rice without technical output.

And what about Southeast Asia?

During the same period, only Indonesia and Malaysia had more than 20 quintals per hectare.

Countries such as Myanmar, Cambodia, Thailand, the Philippines, etc., none of them exceed 20 quintals per hectare, and the lowest Thailand even yields less than 120 kilograms of rice per mu!

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

This is not the case in other countries.

It can be seen from this point that Myanmar, Cambodia, Thailand, the Philippines and other countries have not made full use of land at all, and they are all extensive planting management.

Even if the rice production on these lands more than tripled, it would be on par with the rice yields of island nations.

However, with the rice planting area of ​​nearly 25 million hectares in these four countries, if it catches up with the planting level of the island countries, it will increase the output by nearly 100 million tons.

Not to mention the yield after the mainland's hybrid rice technology is extended to Southeast Asia.

So now is the perfect time to go deep into the rice industry in Southeast Asian countries.

Under the circumstance that Huaxia, a big rice-growing country, does not export its rice, it is enough to deeply control the rice industry in Southeast Asian countries to create a world-class grain 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, for example. India is the world's largest cotton producer, accounting for more than a quarter of the world's cotton production.

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

It is just because Swire Agriculture Group was not the highest in the entire Swire Consortium before, so it could not get too much resource support from Swire Consortium, so even though Swire Cotton Company has developed in India for nearly a hundred years, it has not occupied the supreme market dominance.

After the Taikoo Agricultural Group was taken over by Xia Yu, Xia Yu did not interfere too much, and put it under the Jiuding Industrial Group and let it develop on its own.

Compared with the Swire Consortium, there are naturally more resources and faster development, but not 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, with Xia Yu's eyes on here, the resources will definitely be heavily skewed.

Soon, Xia Yu directly passed Weili of Jiuding Industrial Group and summoned the president of Swire Agriculture Group.

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

Just when Swire Agriculture Group is gearing up to set off an "agricultural whirlwind" in Southeast Asia and South Asia.

The acquisition of the four major grain merchants of ABCD has come one after another.

As Xia Yu expected, the news was not good.

The French Louis Dreyfus Company and the Dutch Bunge Company did not hesitate to refuse the price increase from the Bright Fund, stating that the company would not sell.

In the United States, Cargill, faced with the bargaining chips thrown by Polaris Capital, the Macmillan family and the Cargill family also refused without hesitation, and were also very vigilant. After rejecting Polaris Capital, they immediately contacted others. Small shareholders want to acquire 12% of the shares other than the two major families, so that the two major families can jointly hold 100% of the shares.

The last ADM company, the company owner Duane Andres also resisted fiercely and had a bad attitude. No one would want to snatch ADM from him.

Polaris Capital acquired a 22.4% stake from other shareholders, and the acquisition stalled because of Duane Andres.

However, compared with the other three companies, ADM has opened up a hole, but it is extremely difficult to continue to go down.

After knowing this situation.

Xia Yu has an attitude.

Must buy!

Duane Andres doesn't sell until he sells it!

For this, any means can be used!
