   Chapter 957 Generous poaching

  Actually, Yang Chen rectified these things, to put it bluntly, because he was afraid of death.

   In the past life, I always felt that I was rich to make people feel at ease.

   He would have thought that the money was too much, but he would not be at ease.

   Don’t look at Africa as poor on the surface, but in fact there are still benefits to be gained, otherwise there will not be so many forces taking root anywhere.

For the powerful security companies under the Yang Consortium, many forces are very afraid, because many of the people inside are experienced soldiers. Basically, if you give a gun, you can immediately become a world-class army. &team.

   This is also the reason why the Yang Consortium is expanding so fast, but no black forces dare to come to the door to ask for trouble, because the troublemakers basically disappear every other day.

   Now that the Yang consortium has become a reality, pure force can no longer solve the problem, and it can only be attacked from a commercial level.

   However, unlike the other three major grain merchants, Cargill is not very interested in attacking Yang Chen’s consortium, because Cargill has no longer aimed at pure interests since its development.

Cargill was founded in 1865 by William Cargill, a descendant of Scottish immigrants. Since its inception, Cargill has always been a family business, and it is the only company that is not listed among the four major grain merchants. One of the largest private companies in the world.

   From the second half of the 19th century, with the wave of "Western Development" in the United States, Cargill began to emerge. In order to ensure the operation of bulk commodity trade, Cargill developed its own transportation business from the very beginning.

   By the 1870s, Cargill bought the western US railroad network, laying the foundation for what would become America's number one grain merchant.

  In the early 20th century, after the death of Cargill founder William, he handed over the management of the company to his son-in-law John McMillan. Since then, the McMillan family and the Cargill family have become the actual controllers of Cargill.

Family businesses focus on inheritance. From the mid-19th century to the end of the 1980s, Cargill has a history of more than 100 years. Going farther and inheriting for a longer time is what they care about most.

   As for whether the future will be the four major grain merchants or the top five grain merchants, this is not so important to Cargill.

  Like the Walmart family, the two major families behind Cargill also saw Yang Chen's potential. Since Yang Chen can cooperate with the Walmart family, it makes no sense to change Cargill.

   Listening to Owen Kelm telling about the history of Cargill, Yang Chen rarely interrupted, and thought seriously.

   When he investigated the four major grain merchants before, he had a certain understanding of the forces behind them, but compared to the other three major grain merchants, the two families behind Cargill were too low-key.

   In one sentence, it is a typical example of making a fortune in silence.

Cargill first appeared in front of the world. It was Forbes' first ranking of unlisted companies in the United States in 1985, and it was only in 1985 that Forbes presented a giant company with more than 100 years of heritage to the world. It is among the unlisted companies in the United States. , Cargill has been ranked first for the past two years.

   However, compared with the other three major grain merchants, Cargill has a shortcoming, that is, lack of financing. The other three grain merchants are short of money, so they can solve the problem by financing in the stock market.

   However, as a private company, Cargill has some difficulties in financing. Although Cargill also has other private shareholders other than the two major families, those shareholders do not hold many shares and cannot influence the decisions of the two major families.

  The reason why Cargill wants to cooperate with Yang Chen is nothing more than two reasons, one is to enter the Asian market smoothly, and the other is to use Yang Chen's large amount of liquidity to complement each other and expand together.

"Mr. Yang Chen, I have something here, you should be interested." After speaking, Owen Kelm took out a document from his briefcase and put it in front of Yang Chen, "We understand that Mr. Yang Chen We are cooperating with Inland, and we want to build the largest grain and oil company in Asia.”

   "On this point, Cargill can help to a certain extent. This cooperation intention was sent to Cargill by Inland China & Grain Group. I think you should be very clear about the purpose, Mr. Yang Chen."

"It's just a pity, so far, the internal opinions of Cargill have not reached an agreement for the time being. The reason is that the time is still immature. Press, to be more specific, everyone still has concerns, including the other three major grain merchants, they and Cargill. In the same way, facing a huge market of more than one billion people, everyone is not ready."

   "However, I don't think this time should be too far away."

   Since the early 1970s, after President Nixon & President visited China, Cargill has already carried out trade with China, but it was only a preliminary cooperation, and a further step, such as building a factory in the inland, has not been carried out.

   Of course, it is a matter of time before entering the inland to invest and build factories. After all, no company can resist the temptation of a market with a population of more than one billion.

   If Cargill wants to enter the Asian market and the inland market, it must find a strong and reliable partner.

And Yang Chen is undoubtedly the best partner to cooperate with, especially seeing the good cooperation between Yang Chen and the Wal-Mart family, which makes the two families behind Cargill have great expectations and confidence in seeking to cooperate with Yang Chen to develop the global market .

   Yang Chen lacks all aspects of experience and technology, and Cargill lacks funds and reliable partners. If the two work together, they will definitely become an unshakable force for the other three major grain merchants.

   Yang Chen closed the document in his hand, and said, "Owen Kelm, I wonder if you are interested in changing your working environment?"

   "What?" Owen Kelm heard this, looked at Yang Chen with some doubts, and didn't seem to understand what he meant.

Yang Chen did not evade anything, and said bluntly: "Since Mr. Owen Kelm knows so much about my grain and oil company, I wonder if you have ever thought about changing your job, I know that Owen Kelm is already Cargill's. CEO, I may not be able to give a higher position than this."

"However, in addition to the position, if Mr. Owen Kelm can come to my company, then I will give you the greatest rights, and even if you don't touch the bottom line, you can lead my company according to your ideas. Grain and Oil Company…”

   "In addition, I can also give Mr. Owen Kelm's company shares. This share is not just a dividend, but a real personal interest."

   "If Owen Kelm can help me grow my grain and oil company into a business the size of Cargill, the stake will not be less than five percent."

   "Mr. Yang Chen" Owen Kelm looked at Yang Chen with a look of disbelief, he never thought that Yang Chen would poach him generously.

   Before, he had heard Uncle Sam mention Yang Chen's poaching at Walmart, but he never thought that it was his turn now, and the target was himself, which made Owen Kelm not knowing what to say for a while.

   "Mr. Owen Kelm, you can go back and think about it slowly. As for the cooperation with Cargill, I need some time to think about it, and I can't give you a definite answer for the time being."

  Owen Kelm saw this, and he had no intention of staying here any longer. He stood up and said, "Well, since that's the case, then I won't disturb Mr. Yang Chen."

   "President Li, help me deliver Mr. Owen Kelm."
