We are all reborn, who wants to be the richest man?
Chapter 585 Crisis and Opportunities in the Agricultural Sector
Business is business, and business is just business.
For the Elephant, Luo Nianzhong is undoubtedly the Elephant's super financial backer. Many upper classes in the United States regard the Far East as one of the Elephant's supporters.
But business is business. Elephant, you can't give me what I want, so I turned around and started conspiring with the donkey.
Agriculture is the elephant’s basic foundation, and the elephant is unwilling and unable to share it.
But some things are not what you want them to be. When the interests are unbalanced, farmers will also be dissatisfied.
In 1990, the old cowboy fulfilled his promise and Pioneer Seed's genetically modified soybeans and corn were approved for marketing in three states.
Why was it not a national issue at that time? It was because they wanted to use it to threaten Luo Nianzhong.
You want to promote genetically modified crops nationwide? Sure, give me shares.
There is no problem with Pioneer Seed becoming a global seed giant due to its genetically modified crops. However, a seed giant that does not belong to the United States, or more accurately, does not belong to the elephant, cannot be promoted in my hands.
Therefore, Elephant has been stuck on the issue of approval of genetically modified seeds, just to force Luo Nianzhong to submit.
Are the conditions offered by Elephant good? If it were any other company, it would wake you up laughing in the middle of the night.
Monsanto has given it to you, and Bunge can also give it to you. After acquiring these two companies, Pioneer Seed will definitely become the world's largest agricultural giant, without a doubt.
And there is another huge benefit to acquiring Monsanto: its revolving door.
From 1952 to 1982, every Secretary of State and Monsanto director had a tripartite background.
What about Monsanto? The director of the FDA, the director of the Environmental Protection Agency, the director of the Office of Pesticide and Hazardous Substance Prevention, the U.S. Trade Representative, the director of the White House Office, the Secretary of Agriculture, and so on.
There are too many heads of departments related to agriculture who came in through Monsanto’s revolving door.
In other words, as long as Pioneer Seeds acquires Monsanto and obtains its connections, it can basically dominate the agricultural sector in the United States.
Why didn't Luo Nianzhong agree? It was because of the word "merger and acquisition".
Can the American people be so kind? After the merger, will the Luo family still have the final say in Pioneer Seed Industry? Isn't the purpose of taking out these two companies to dilute the Luo family's shares?
It's a good idea, but they are wrong.
In 1990, as the first farmers in the three states who planted genetically modified soybeans achieved great success, a large number of soybean farmers chose Pioneer Seeds.
Now in these three states, 90% of those who grow soybeans and corn use Pioneer Seeds’ genetically modified seeds.
Farmers in other states, seeing the benefits of GM seeds in terms of yield and farming, naturally expressed dissatisfaction with not being able to use GM seeds in their states.
But even in the face of massive dissatisfaction among the core farmers, Elephant still did not give in.
"The old cowboys have a very high voice in this election, and many of the bigwigs in the donkey's party have withdrawn from the election. If we support the donkey at this time, will it damage our relationship with the cowboy family?"
“No, this is our personal relationship, the issue now is the conflict between us and the other party, it does not involve individuals.
Both the old and young cowboys understand, otherwise there wouldn’t be a single phone call until now.”
A week ago, on May 5, Pioneer Seeds and DuPont Pioneer simultaneously launched their Series A financing round. There was actually only one party in the negotiations, and that was the Wall Street forces that supported the donkeys.
This was seen by many within the Donkeys as the beginning of the Far Eastern faction's shift towards the Donkeys and a victory for Jewish capital.
DuPont is a Jewish family and supports the donkey, but the Far Eastern family, which has always had a Jewish matriarch, is closer to the elephant.
Many people think that the Cowboy family played a key role in this, and the brotherhood between Luo Nianzhong and the little Cowboy is known throughout the country.
But only Luo Nianzhong himself knew that this was not because of any brotherhood, but because Daxiang had more say in the court during this period.
Luo Nianzhong's early highway plan was designed to allow the old cowboy to be re-elected so that the Luo family could get more benefits.
But if the other party thinks that they no longer need the Luo family, then the Luo family will let the other party see the influence of the Luo family in the United States.
With the launch of the information superhighway project, the unemployment rate in the United States has indeed dropped a lot, but due to delays in the Middle East, the government's finances are not very good.
The three major problems of high debt, high trade deficit and high deficit that began in the Reagan era have not been solved much.
As long as the donkey seizes this point, it still has a chance. This is why it was able to make a comeback in history.
"Contact that guy in Arkansas, you'd be perfect for that."
"That nymphomaniac?"
Jason’s remarks surprised Luo Nianzhong. Was this guy like this before he ascended the throne?
Seeing that Luo Nianzhong was confused, Jason explained, "This guy has been involved in four sexual harassment cases while serving as governor, and he has no advantage in the donkey."
The implication is that they don't think highly of him, which is what everyone thinks now.
"The competition within the Donkey Party has not yet ended. Some bigwigs in the party have already withdrawn from the internal election because they are afraid of the prestige of the old cowboy and feel that there is little hope. I believe such things will happen again.
I am very optimistic about this guy. If he has the support of capital, I believe he has a chance."
"What's the reason?" Jason didn't know why Luo Nianzhong was so optimistic about this rising star who didn't have many political resources.
“Young and energetic.
Compared with those old and frail officials, youth is his greatest asset, and young people today also like this.
The televised debate in the US election is the most important part in boosting popularity, and in this respect, the clear-headed Zipperton has an advantage and is more approachable, which is the most important reason why I am optimistic about this guy."
"But his romantic scandals will become a fatal blow to him after he becomes president, and his opponents will seize this opportunity to attack him."
"Isn't this better? I think we can start looking for some beautiful young college students to approach him.
What the public cares most about is political achievements. If this person can make you happy with your life, what does it matter if there are some scandals? No one is perfect."
Jason thought about it and felt that what Luo Nianzhong said made sense. Even if he failed this time, he could still accumulate a lot of goodwill for the other party, which was worth the investment.
"I will let Martial contact the opponent first."
"Your brother-in-law? I remember that he seems to work in the Arkansas Judiciary?"
Martial is the younger brother of Jason’s wife Jennifer Vincent, and he is a guy with many abilities.
“That’s right, and that guy was also the head of the Arkansas Judiciary, so it would be more convenient for Martial to get in touch with him.
If it is someone worth investing in, I will meet him in person next time."
"Okay." Luo Nianzhong agreed with Jason's arrangement.
"If possible, we can push Martial up there, it's a good opportunity.
And Bruces, this will be the beginning of a revolving door for Pioneer Seeds.”
Bruces is the second-in-command of Pioneer Seed. Given Donkey’s weakness in agriculture, he believes that the other party will not refuse Pioneer Seed’s goodwill.
Some people obviously have different opinions on Luo Nianzhong's plan, or they disagree with it.
When Pioneer Seeds and DuPont Pioneer, two seed and pesticide giants, started financing negotiations with Wall Street, Elephant understood Luo Nianzhong's intention.
“This is good, it’s to let him know that although his funds have a certain effect, they are not absolute.
With old George's prestige, there won't be any problems in this election, and we can also use this opportunity to dampen the arrogance of this little guy."
“That’s right, if George Sr. is re-elected, it would be a dream for him to roll out Pioneer Seed’s genetically modified crops across the country in the next four years.
By then he will come to negotiate himself, and we will have more bargaining chips.
If the stalemate continues, once Monsanto's genetically modified products come out, both sides will be at the same starting line.
In the United States, don’t forget that farmers are the foundation of our elephants.”
The elephants will definitely pay a price for their arrogance, but they don't realize that allowing Wall Street capital to enter the game is not for the purpose of promoting GMOs in the United States.
