We are all reborn, who wants to be the richest man?
Chapter 186 A brief confrontation
"Pioneer Seed Industry and Coca-Cola, this is the requirement of the Far East Group."
This is the list Luo Nianzhong made after learning about most of the assets held by the DuPont family.
After learning from Chris some of the assets controlled by the DuPont family, Luo Nianzhong almost drooled.
Shocked, only these two words can express Luo Nianzhong's mood at that time.
The world is only familiar with DuPont and General Motors, but they don't know that DuPont is also a major shareholder of many companies.
Why do you say it's some assets? Because even Chris doesn't know about many industries, only the most important companies.
The first is Pioneer Seed Industry, which is one of the largest seed companies in the United States and the first corn seed industry leader to launch hybrid corn technology. It accounts for more than 40% of the corn seed market.
Everyone knows that DuPont acquired 97% of the shares of Pioneer Seed Industry in 20, and in 99 it annexed Pioneer entirely to establish DuPont Pioneer Company.
What no one knows is that DuPont has become one of the major shareholders of Pioneer Seed Industry very early. In order to avoid being cannibalized by the giant DuPont family, Pioneer Seed Industry has also issued many regulations to prevent it from being acquired by DuPont.
As for the later betrayal of DuPont, the government mainly played a key role in this, which starts with the laws of the beautiful country.
In 1930, the United States promulgated the Plant Patent Law, which considered seeds to be natural products and excluded them from patent rights.
After the promulgation of this law, seed research in beautiful countries has been led by the state and universities, and private individuals will not invest in seed research and development at all.
How can R&D be used as soon as it is available, or can it be said that it is benefited from free prostitution? The key point is that this situation is still legal and allowed by the state.
So all the major seed industry companies are doing one thing, and that is free prostitution.
However, in 1970, the beautiful country introduced the "Plant Variety Protection Law", which stipulated that companies could have the exclusive right to sell and deal with new seed varieties developed by themselves within 18 years.
The introduction of this law has greatly stimulated the enthusiasm of private companies to invest in seed research and development.
The patented products of several major agricultural seed giants that we later became familiar with were all born after this. It was also because of this law that beautiful Chinese agricultural enterprises merged crazily in the 1980s and 1990s, forming several giants.
The advantage of this is that it avoids consumption and overlapping of R&D funds, allowing each seed R&D to receive more sufficient funds.
It was also under such circumstances that Pioneer Seed Industry saw that this was the future trend.
First, more shares of the company were sold in exchange for a large amount of funds, and then 100% was acquired by the DuPont family.
Therefore, now is the best time for the development of the agricultural field. Now that Luo Nianzhong knows that DuPont has such a future giant as Pioneer Seeds, he needs to make arrangements in advance.
Coca-Cola is trying to supplement Watsons' shortcomings. Watsons has already occupied the world's largest share of beverage sales in terms of juice drinks, tea drinks, etc. However, only Coke or carbonated drinks are not developing smoothly.
Watsons has developed its own Coke carbonated drink. Except for rabbit sales, its sales around the world can only be described as bleak.
It has to be said that these two cola companies are difficult to surpass in this regard. They have buried purchasing memories in consumers and formed habits.
In addition to these two companies, the DuPont family also owns shares in Boeing and controls Newport News Shipbuilding and Drydock Company.
This shipbuilding company is no less important than Rockefeller Martin and Raytheon in the military industry.
It is one of the largest shipyards in the United States and the only shipyard that can design, build nuclear-powered aircraft carriers, and perform nuclear-powered fuel replacement and overhaul of aircraft carriers.
All of America's nuclear-powered aircraft carriers and 50% of its nuclear submarines are built here.
Not to mention the DuPont family's old business, gunpowder, fiber, coatings, polymer materials, Tyvek, DuPont paper and other companies, the power of these consortiums can be seen from the above-mentioned large companies.
This does not include the shares of small and medium-sized enterprises held by the DuPont family that Chris does not know about. Who can guarantee that one or two large enterprises will not appear in these enterprises in the future?
The military-industrial complex is untouchable in Luo Nianzhong. Even if these shares are placed in Chris's name, it will not change much for the time being, and the shares obtained will not be too many.
Otherwise, Dupont would not agree, and White House would not allow it.
Chemical industry is DuPont's old business, and it is impossible to let Luo Nianzhong, an unstable factor, join in.
General Motors Luo Nianzhong looked down on it. General Motors' current valuation was too high, and even if he got the shares, it would only be a few points, which was not worth it compared with the price paid.
He knew how the beautiful country's automobile industry would decline in the future, and Luo Nianzhong had his own plans for the automobile industry.
So he told Chris that Pioneer Seed was his bottom line, and it would be best if he could add shares of Coca-Cola Company, so that he could lay the foundation for Coca-Cola's future plans.
"We are very optimistic about Pioneer Seed Industry. In exchange, we are willing to bring General Motors to join us. Doesn't our richest man like the automobile industry very much?"
Mr. Richest Man, these four words made Chris's eyes freeze and quickly returned to normal.
For others, these four words may be a great honor, but for these plutocrats, it is a bit ironic.
Their wealth cannot be reflected in the rich list. It can also be said that the numbers on the rich list cannot express their wealth.
"Yes, my boss, Mr. Luo Nianzhong, has only been in business for a few years? How dare he be called the richest man with so little money?"
It was obvious that Chris was being disparaging, but everyone understood what he meant.
I just want to ask if you big families can achieve the same level as Luo Nianzhong in three to five years. What about twenty or fifty years later? What will happen then?
Seeing the embarrassed expression on William Dupont's face who had just spoken, Chris sneered.
“Pioneer Seeds and Coca-Cola, these two conditions will not change.
To be honest, Far East Group doesn’t care about this three-party cooperation, we are more willing to exchange shares with the Texas guys alone.”
"Chris, don't forget your last name."
Chris's words were a bit disparaging to DuPont, indicating that the Far East Group looked down on the industries that DuPont could offer, which made some people dissatisfied.
Chris looked sarcastic, "So my last name is Dupont?"
This sentence left everyone speechless. None of them had ever looked down upon this illegitimate daughter in the past.
Even if there were no harsh words, it was all with the mentality of watching a joke. If Copeland hadn't left behind this illegitimate daughter, she wouldn't have even thought of entering the Dupont family.
"Also, I would like to remind everyone that I am representing the Far East Group now. Some people should not rely on their elders and want to yell at everyone. They like to preach and go back to talk to their sons."
"you".
"Iris, I'm still here."
Copeland, who had been watching the excitement, finally spoke, and the whole place fell silent for a moment. It can be seen how high Copeland's prestige is in the Dupont family.
"Chris is right. She represents the Far East Group and is here to discuss cooperation with us, so I don't want to listen to any more comments that are vague or vague."
Copeland set the tone, and everyone calmed down their emotions. Orzi, Chris's nominal father, did not dare to speak, and received many strange looks because of Copeland's opening.
Olzi sensed ridicule, blame and a hint of anger in these glances.
It's obviously that woman who makes you look bad, why are you looking at me?
"Ahem" Copeland attracted everyone's attention, "Do you have any opinions on the cooperation with the Far East Group and those red necks?"
Some people expressed silence, some looked more optimistic and nodded in satisfaction, and some hesitated to speak and finally swallowed their words. It was not clear whether they had objections to this cooperation or to the plan.
Seeing that no one stood up to object, Copeland turned to Chris and said with a smile, "Then let's make an appointment to invite those rednecks to come over and discuss it in detail.
To be honest, I haven’t seen these guys for a long time, and I’m really looking forward to it.”
"Okay, then I'll do as you say."
Chris nodded softly and agreed. She changed her strong attitude just now. She still respected this grandpa very much.
