Naomi Watts didn't refuse this time, she held the bank card in her hand. ≥ Henry showed a slight smile and led her into the villa.

　　 As early as May 1999, the US campaign against genetically modified crops broke out in the United States! The fuse this time is just a purely scientific experiment called the "Monarch Butterfly Incident", which refers to the use of weed leaves mixed with genetically modified insect-resistant corn pollen to feed the monarch butterfly larvae and discover that these larvae grow Slow, and the mortality rate is as high as 44%. Monarch butterflies are not pests, nor are they targeted by genetically modified insect-resistant corn pollen. Therefore, this result shows that genetically modified crops will also pose a threat to non-target insects, and maybe also threaten human life...

　　 The American anti-gene engineering movement took this opportunity to become active again, and the movement swept across the army and was invincible. Giants in the food industry have also announced the abandonment of genetically engineered ingredients. bt potatoes and corn bear the brunt, and their commercial prospects are almost destroyed!

　　The world's number one genetically modified company-Mount Mondu has suffered an unprecedented blow!

　　 Without Henry's shot, Monsanto would be merged by Swedish Pharmacia on Christmas 1999, and the once maddening giant would be reduced to a vassal enterprise dominated by the Swedes.

　　 The world food crisis is imminent. Genetically modified crops are the future development trend, and traditional crops are increasingly unable to meet human needs. For the same acre of land, the harvest using genetically modified seeds is more than twice that of traditional seeds, and the consumption of fertilizers, pesticides, water and energy is also greatly reduced. Those who deal with the land better understand what it means to be "more, more economical, and more economical"!

　　If humans want to migrate between the stars, how can the crops on earth survive on other planets? The only way is to develop genetically modified seeds to adapt to the alien environment!

Technology changes everything. Genetically modified seeds will become stronger and stronger, and their nutritional value will be higher and higher. Perhaps one day they can develop spiritual seeds, spiritual rice, spiritual wheat that are similar to those found in them... and eat them. Has a great effect on the human body!

　　 Williams Manor.

　　 "Mr. Williams, it's time to buy Monsanto!" suggested Charles, the leader of the think tank.

　　 "Okay, order the acquisition of Secret Service Team Leader Smith to begin contact with Monsanto!"

"Yes!"

　　 The corners of Henry's mouth floated slightly. If the acquisition of Monsanto is successful, then there will be one more power to master the world! In previous lives, Monsanto's genetically modified seeds monopolized half of the world's agriculture. And in this life, with a powerful genetic umbrella as the backing, if it can develop super seeds that improve human physique, it will be more than half of the world! ! !

　　 Nowadays, there are two major seed industry giants in the United States, one is Monsanto, and the other is Pioneer Seed.

　　 It is a pity that the US judicial department has strict supervision. If you purchase Pioneer Breeds, you cannot buy Monsanto, and you cannot have both fish and bear paws. Therefore, you can only choose one of the two. Henry naturally tended to acquire Monsanto. As for Pioneer Grain, if nothing happens, it will eventually be acquired by the DuPont family, one of the top ten consortia in the United States!

　　 On this day, two waves of people came to Monsanto headquarters at the same time. A wave of people came from the Swedish chemical and pharmaceutical giant Pharmacia Company, and a wave of people came from the American biopharmaceutical giant Gene Umbrella Company!

　　 In contrast, Monsanto is more inclined to the gene umbrella company. Obviously, relying on Gene Umbrella Company can get the support of powerful gene biotechnology!

　　 Marvin Atchison, the negotiator of Pharmacia, frowned when he saw Smith, the representative of Gene Umbrella.

　　 The baby feels bitter, but the baby doesn’t say anything.

　　 Gene Umbrella companies are here, and what's the role of Pharmacia? Accompany you?

　　 Next, Marvin Atchison can clearly feel that Monsanto has a more affectionate attitude towards the representatives of the Gene Umbrella Company than it is to himself!

　　 "Mr. Marvin Atchison and Mr. Smith, it's a coincidence that the two came to Monsanto at the same time. In that case, how about our tripartite talks?" Monsanto's chairman Tony Grant asked with a smile.

　　 "Of course I'm fine." Smith promised heartily, and then turned to look at Marvin Atchison with a smile.

　　 "I, no problem..." Marvin Acheson said helplessly.

　　 So, everyone came to the meeting room and sat down. Tony Grant said: "I know what the two of you are here, too. I asked straightforwardly, how much do you plan to spend to acquire Monsanto?"

　　 Marvin Acheson did not answer, picked up the water glass on the table and pretended to be drinking water. Those who talk about price first are obviously prone to be overwhelmed by the latter.

　　 Smith looked at Marvin Atchison, smiled contemptuously, then turned to look at Tony Grant, and said loudly: "Gene Umbrella is going to spend 15 billion US dollars to acquire Monsanto!"

　　噗! ! !

　　 Marvin Atchison drank water, and suddenly heard the offer, he squirted it out. Fuck, how could the price of Gene Umbrella Company be so high? The highest authority granted by Pharmacia is only US$10 billion! ! !

　　 At this time, everyone looked at him together.

　　 "Mr. Marvin Atchison, are you okay?" Tony Grant asked kindly.

　　 Smith looked at Marvin Atchison with a funny expression, and deliberately asked: "Hehe, Mr. Marvin Atchison, you are choking like this no matter how you drink..."

　　 Marvin Acheson showed a trace of embarrassment, and quickly picked up a piece of toilet paper to wipe off the water stains on his mouth and clothes.

　　 "Mr. Marvin Atchison, Mr. Smith has finished talking about Gene Umbrella's offer. I don't know what Pharmacia's offer is?" Tony Grant asked.

　　 Marvin Acheson was in trouble immediately, and it felt difficult to speak. However, it finally came out: "Pharmacia's offer is 10 billion U.S. dollars!"

　　 Only 10 billion U.S. dollars? !

　　 Gene Umbrella’s offer is 15 billion U.S. dollars, and your Pharmacia company also quoted a higher price. You are embarrassed to say 10 billion U.S. dollars?

Marvin Acheson quickly added: "US$10 billion is only my highest authority. Today is a special situation. I did not expect Gene Umbrella to be interested in Monsanto. Mr. Tony Grant, please allow me to give Pharmacia now Call to request higher permissions!"

　　 Tony Grant responded with a smile, "Of course it’s okay. You can call Pharmacia now."

　　 "Thank you!" Marvin Atchison walked out of the conference room with an awkward expression. Then he came to a place where no one was there and dialed the number of the company's headquarters. "Chairman, the acquisition of Monsanto is not good. Gene Umbrella suddenly joined the competition. They invested 15 billion US dollars when they came up!"

　　 "15 billion US dollars, isn't it 5 billion US dollars higher than us!"

　　 "Yes..." Marvin Acheson replied a little bit resentfully, making him very embarrassed in front of everyone.

　　 "Marvin Atchison, Pharmacia will definitely not be able to spend $15 billion, so you must do everything possible to buy Monsanto for $10 billion!"

　　 Are you playing with me? Chairman? For capital, capital is no better than genetic umbrella; for technology, technology is no better than genetic umbrella. You tell me, is there any way to acquire Monsanto? ! ! Marvin Acheson was frantically complaining, but in order to keep his job, he still replied: "Okay, I will do my best!"

　　 After hanging up, Marvin Atchison returned to the conference room.

　　 "Mr. Marvin Atchison, how are you talking to your company?" Monsanto chairman asked.

　　 What else can I do? Marvin Acheson said: "Mr. Tony Grant, Pharmacia is only willing to spend $10 billion!"

Hearing what he said, Tony Grant understood what the other party meant, and turned to look at Gene Umbrella’s representative Smith, "Mr. Smith, I think Gene Umbrella’s offer is very reasonable. After discussing with the board of directors, I will give you as soon as possible. One answer!"

"it is good!"

　　 Monsanto is on the cusp of the storm at the moment. As soon as the news that Gene Umbrella was going to acquire it came out, it immediately attracted widespread media attention.

The Wall Street Journal reported: “If Monsanto is acquired by Gene Umbrella, it is a strong alliance and will be greatly guaranteed in terms of genetically modified seeds and food safety! Investors and stockholders will have full confidence in Monsanto. According to statistics, negotiations On the day the news came out, Monsanto's stock price rose by 2.5%!"

The abc TV station invited well-known genetically modified experts in the industry to participate in the program: "For food, health is the first! Gene Umbrella's achievements in genetic biotechnology have been recognized and trusted by the world. Monsanto was acquired by it and will It will greatly change people's views on genetically modified foods! And this is also the best and fastest way for Monsanto to solve the current difficult situation!"

　　 "USA Today" stated: "According to the internal staff of Gene Umbrella, Henry Williams will spend huge sums of money to develop genetically modified seeds to enhance human physique, and to improve human defects through genetic biotechnology!"

The British "Times" surprisingly published an article praising the acquisition of Monsanto by Gene Umbrella: "The terms'Monsanto' and'GMO' are synonymous with evil in the UK and even in the European Union. Consumers strongly resist genetically modified food~www. lightnovelpub.net~ But after the news of the acquisition of Monsanto by Gene Umbrella from the United States, the attitude of consumers has changed!

　　 It is well known that crops grown from genetically modified seeds are more harvested than traditional seeds, which has a huge effect on solving the current global food crisis. But at the same time, we have also discovered that genetically modified foods are immature and have many unknown factors that cause harm to the human body! In the final analysis, it should be the immature performance of genetic biotechnology!

　　 There is no doubt that Gene Umbrella is the most powerful company in gene biotechnology in the world, and its strength is beyond our imagination. If it acquires Monsanto and then uses its own powerful technology to help Monsanto distribute genetically modified seeds, then the harm of genetically modified seeds will inevitably be minimized!

　　 Previously, genetically modified crisis incidents have occurred frequently in Europe, which has caused the public to become more and more hostile towards genetically modified foods, full of suspicion and fear!

　　 Before 1999, Monsanto spent a lot of effort and with the help of the US government, finally tore a hole in the European market and passed the review of Monsanto's genetically modified seeds entering the European Union. But by the beginning of 1999, the power of consumers overpowered government regulatory agencies. At the request of the public, the EU announced that it would no longer approve any genetically engineered crops to enter the market until genetically modified crops and products derived from genetically modified crops have been fully "marked and searchable."

　　 Therefore, only when Gene Umbrella acquires Monsanto, we can eat genetically modified food with confidence and allow genetically modified food to re-enter the European market! ! ! "
