Chapter 982 Generous poaching

In fact, Yang Chen is just afraid of death by placing this in a blunt way.

I always felt that only by having money in my previous life can people feel at ease.

He would have thought that if he had too much money, he would not be able to rest.

Although Africa is poor on the surface, it is actually beneficial to have benefits, otherwise there will not be so many forces anywhere.

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

This is also the reason why the Yang family consortium has expanded so quickly but no black forces dare to come to find trouble, because the people who are in trouble basically disappeared the next day.

Nowadays, the Yang family consortium has become a climate, and simple force can no longer solve the problem, so it can only be attacked from a commercial level.

However, unlike the other three major grain merchants, Cargill did not have much interest in cracking down on the Yangchen consortium, because Cargill has no longer aimed at pure interests since its development.

Cargill was founded in 1865 and is founded by William Cargill, a descendant of Scottish immigrants. From the beginning to the present, Cargill has been a family business. It is also the only unlisted company among the four major grain merchants and is also one of the largest private enterprises in the world.

From the second half of the 19th century, with the wave of "great development in the west" in the United States, Cargill began to make its mark. In order to ensure the operation of commodity trade, Cargill developed its own transportation business from the beginning.

By the 1870s, Cargill bought the American Western Railway Network, laying the foundation for later becoming the number one cereal merchant in the United States.

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

Family-based businesses focus on inheritance. From the mid-19th century to the end of the 1980s, Cargill has been passed down for more than a hundred years. This makes the McMillan family and the Cargill family who actually control Cargill Company care about how to make Cargill go further and inherit longer.

As for the future, the four major grain merchants or the five major grain merchants, this is not that important for 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, there is no reason why Cargill can't be replaced.

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

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

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

Cargill's first appearance in front of the world was the first time that Forbes ranked non-listed companies in the United States in 1985, and only then did it show the giant company that has been passed down for more than a hundred years in front of the world. Among the non-listed companies in the United States, Cargill has been ranked first in the past two years.

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

However, as a private enterprise, Cargill has more or less difficulties in financing. Although Cargill also has other private shareholders except for the two major families, those shareholders do not hold many shares and cannot control the decisions of the two major families.

There are only two reasons why Cargill wanted to cooperate with Yang Chen. One was to successfully enter the Asian market, and the other was 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." As he said, Owen Kelm took out a document from his briefcase and put it in front of Yang Chen. "We learned that Mr. Yang Chen and the Inland are working together to build the largest grain and oil company in Asia."

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

"It's just a pity that so far, Cargill's internal opinions have not reached an agreement yet. The reason is that the time is not yet ripe. To put it more specifically, everyone still has concerns, including the other three major grain merchants. Like Cargill, they are facing a huge market with a population of more than one billion, and everyone is not ready."

"However, I think this time shouldn't be too far."

Since the early 1970s, when President Nick & Song visited China, Cargill has launched trade with China, but that is only a preliminary cooperation, and a step further, such as building a factory inland has not been carried out for a long time.

Of course, it will be a matter of time sooner or later to enter the inland to invest in 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, he must find a strong and reliable partner in the middle.

Yang Chen is undoubtedly the best partner, especially seeing the good cooperation between Yang Chen and the Walmart family, which makes Cargill have great expectations and confidence in seeking to cooperate with Yang Chen and launch a global market.

Yang Chen lacks experience and technology in all aspects, while Cargill lacks funds and reliable partners. If the two companies work together, they will definitely become an unshakable force that none of the other three grain merchants can shake.

After closing the documents in his hand, Yang Chen said, "Irving Kelm, I wonder if you are interested in changing the work environment?"

"What?" Irving Kelm looked at Yang Chen with some confusion when he heard this, as if he didn't understand what he meant.

Yang Chen did not avoid any evasion and said bluntly: "Since Mr. Owen Kelm knows so well about my grain and oil company, I don't know if you have ever thought about changing a company. I know that Owen Kelm is already Cargill's CEO, and I may not be able to give you a higher position than this."

"However, besides your position, if Mr. Owen Kelm can come to my company, I will give you the greatest right, and even if you don't touch the bottom line, you can lead my grain and oil companies exactly as you want..."

"In addition, I can also give Mr. Owen Kelm shares. This share is not just a dividend, but a real right to your personal interests."

"If Irving Kelm could help me develop my grain and oil company into a company of the same size as Cargill, the shareholding would not be less than five percent."

"Mr. Yang Chen" Owen Kelm looked at Yang Chen with a little disbelief. He never thought that Yang Chen would poach him openly.

He had heard Uncle Sam mention Yang Chen's poaching at Walmart before, but he never thought that it was his turn now, and the object was himself, which made Irving Kelm not sure what to say for a moment.

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

Seeing this, Owen Kelm had no idea of ​​staying here, so he stood up and said, "Well, since that's the case, I won't bother Mr. Yang Chen."

"President Li, please send me Mr. Irving Kelm."
