Silicon Valley

Henry sent someone to make a takeover offer to Monsanto, but he never thought about it, but the other party bluntly rejected it.

Henry thought for a while. Monsanto has a history of 93 years since its establishment in 1901. It is powerful and ambitious. How could it be willing to become a vassal of other companies? Moreover, after the completion of the acquisition frenzy, Monsanto's strength has greatly increased, and the seed field is almost enough to challenge the world's No. 1 pioneering seed company!

With the biotechnology of the gene umbrella, it is not impossible to develop genetically modified seeds. Henry murmured: "Forget it, since others don't want to be acquired, let's not force it, let's see who is more powerful!" Although the Gene Umbrella Company does not focus on plant genes, the technology is similar, and they all use biotechnology!

In terms of biotechnology, the genetic umbrella is the second, and no one dares to be the first!

Henry then asked Gene Umbrella to set up the Gene Umbrella Seed Company, specializing in genetically modified foods!

In fact, Monsanto's acquisition spree has left it with huge debts, and the blow to Monsanto will be fatal if GM food suffers. Henry just knew that the EU would ban the import of genetically modified food, and public opinion was also hyping genetically modified food. The historical giant company Monsanto was acquired by a Swedish company, which is sad!

No matter how big a company is, it is one step away from death! ! !

Monsanto is a living example.

Henry couldn't help looking at his company. With so many companies under his name, he might one day go bankrupt suddenly like Monsanto. It seems that he has to hold a huge amount of liquid cash to last for a long time. Apple holds nearly $100 billion in liquid cash, and even if it loses $1 billion a year, it can lose 100 years.

Henry thought to himself, if he holds a trillion dollars in liquid cash, even if he loses 10 billion dollars a year, he can lose 100 years!

actually. Since Monsanto will go bankrupt, Henry can wait until then to buy it. Of course, Henry has another option. That is the purchase of pioneer grains!

In the mid-to-late 1990s, Pioneer Food Seeds faced Monsanto's strong attack, and they gradually realized that they could not resist Monsanto's attack at all. then. Pioneer Seeds later found a backer - DuPont! DuPont is a large chemical company in the world. Its business scope covers more than 20 industries such as military industry, agriculture, chemical industry, petroleum, coal, construction, electronics, food, furniture, textile, refrigeration and transportation, with an annual revenue of more than 30 billion US dollars!

And DuPont is just a subsidiary controlled by the DuPont consortium.

After Pioneer Seed Company was acquired by DuPont, it was naturally not afraid of Monsanto, and finally became the second largest seed company in the world after Monsanto.

Henry can cut his beard from the middle and win the pioneer seed first!

so. Henry is the one who decides how the card should be played. He can even buy Pioneer Seeds first, and then buy Monsanto!

"When these two companies can't hold it anymore, it's time for me to take action!" Henry's mouth couldn't help but show a smile.

At this time, Clinton called Henry, and on the phone, Clinton told him that Lockheed was preparing to merge with Martin Marietta to form Lockheed Martin, currently. Awaiting approval from the US government!

"President Clinton, we Williams Aerospace also want to join their merger plan!!!" Henry shouted anxiously.

If they merge, what else can they do!

It will be more difficult to buy Lockheed Martin yourself!

The Lockheed Martin Company in the previous life, even if it is called the top three companies in the world in terms of technological strength, is not an exaggeration at all!

It is one of the strongest aerospace manufacturers in the world and the largest fighter jet manufacturer in the world. It controls the production and launch of all U.S. military satellites, engages in cutting-edge robotics and nanotechnology research, and includes Ultrasonics, biometrics, continuous reconnaissance technology, information fusion, unmanned and autonomous systems, and more.

Its Skunk Studios is one of the most technologically and innovative studios in the world, a true core asset of Lockheed Martin!

Clinton shook his head and said, "I'm sorry. Mr. Williams, Lockheed and Martin Marietta are the assets of the California consortium, and I suggested to them that Williams Aerospace wanted to acquire them. , but they firmly disagree! Also, I have a very bad thing to tell you, the U.S. government will soon launch an antitrust investigation against you!"

Henry's face sank, "What aspect of me are they going to investigate?"

"Williams Network!" Clinton said, "Williams Network has almost monopolized the entire Internet. You must be very clear about this, especially the recent market value of Internet companies is too high. Afraid! Although you have paid many government officials before, this time is different. Many big American consortia can no longer tolerate it! You know, the American consortium has a huge influence on the U.S. government!"

Henry took a deep breath and said solemnly: "Well, thank you President Clinton, I know!"

After speaking, Henry hung up the phone.

Henry has been corrupting the U.S. government in various ways, trying to avoid antitrust investigations. But now it seems that the market value of Internet companies is too high, scaring the major financial groups. Although Henry did not establish a consortium, he was more terrifying than a consortium!

At this moment, they are going to join hands to fix Henry.

This anti-monopoly investigation was brought about by them, and at the same time, they wanted to take a piece of it!

Among these consortiums, don’t think about it, there must be the Morgan consortium, the Citigroup consortium, and as for other consortiums, Henry is not sure. However, the California consortium is about to form Lockheed Martin, but it wants to exclude itself. In addition to being wary of itself, it does not rule out wanting to suppress itself.

A glimmer of light flashed in Henry's eyes. California is the base of the California consortium, and their influence in California and the West Coast of the United States has always been unshakable. However, Henry appeared!

The California consortium controls a number of financial banks and arms companies, but with the development of Williams Bank and the establishment of Williams Aerospace, the interests of the consortium have been threatened. If they join the anti-Williams alliance is also very likely!

Of course, in addition to the consortium, competitors such as AOL may also be in trouble.

Henry tried his best to calm himself down, carefully analyze and think about ways to deal with it.

Monopoly is a fact, this is indisputable, and it is useless to justify it anyway. Henry frowned unconsciously, feeling that things were very difficult. The US government intervenes, and I am afraid it will ask itself to split the company and sell it...

Henry thought about it all night, and the next morning, he notified the CEOs and major shareholders of the Internet companies to hold a meeting at the Nicholas Group.

After everyone came together, Henry spoke out about the US government's antitrust investigation of Williams Network!

As soon as Henry finished speaking, everyone present was shocked.

Afterwards, there was a lot of discussion.

Henry sat there quietly and listened to their discussion. At this moment, he had already made up his mind!
