Silicon Valley

Chapter 468 Changing the world starts from seeds

The process of acquiring Monsanto did not happen unexpectedly. On November 1, Gene Umbrella signed an acquisition agreement with the other party, and then delisted Monsanto from the stock market and turned it into a private company. Listed companies must disclose their finances and developments to the outside world. Naturally, a lot of privacy is exposed. Monsanto is a company that develops genetically modified seeds, so it's better to be a little secretive!

After Monsanto was acquired, the voices against GMOs became much quieter in an instant.

Although the genetic umbrella is studying people, and Monsanto is studying crops, they are all familiar with the same goal, and they all use genetic biotechnology. The gene umbrella holds the most complete human gene pool, while Monsanto has the largest and most detailed crop gene pool.

Professor Thomson of the Gene Umbrella Company found Henry and said: "Mr. Williams, Monsanto's gene pool of soybeans, corn, cotton and other crops is naturally huge compared to other GM companies. But in our Gene Umbrella Company's view , but Erer. Therefore, in order to develop Monsanto, I think it is necessary to call out some new-generation chip gene sequencers to help Monsanto complete the gene sequencing of crops. At the same time, call out a large number of outstanding genetic biotechnology engineers to join Monsanto, Strengthen its scientific research strength!"

"Well, Professor Thomson, you are right, it is necessary to enhance the technical strength of Monsanto." Henry nodded, "GM food has always been criticized because the technology is immature and the research on crops is not thorough enough. , After the acquisition of Monsanto by Gene Umbrella, we must increase investment in scientific research!!!”

"Um."

"In addition..." Henry thought for a while and said, "At present, besides Monsanto, there should be other companies that are researching genetically modified seeds, and Monsanto is arranged to poach people from these companies! There are so many talents in the world, but they are distributed widely. In various companies, repeating what others have already researched is undoubtedly a huge waste! For example, Monsanto sequenced the corn gene, and other companies are doing this work, not just a waste of manpower, material resources and time. !"

"Yes, but there is no way out." Professor Thomson sighed slightly.

"I know this, so we need to bring more talents together, so as not to let them do useless work!" Henry said, "Only in this way can strengths gather together to overcome scientific difficulties together. Human technology The level will develop faster!"

Henry said this, and he couldn't help complaining that the U.S. judiciary was really nosy. If it hadn't stopped Gene Umbrella's acquisition, Gene Umbrella would be much stronger than it is now. And this time to acquire Monsanto, Gene Umbrella is the one that everyone expects, and another Monsanto company that came to acquire is a Swedish company. The United States naturally hopes that Monsanto can stay in the United States, so when Gene Umbrella acquired Monsanto, the US judiciary turned a blind eye! Otherwise, with the urgency of the U.S. judiciary, it will definitely stop it again...

People take food as their heaven, and seeds are the top priority.

Henry attached great importance to the development of Monsanto and decided to invest 10 billion US dollars in scientific research and development every year. In a previous life, Monsanto's annual research expenses were only $1 billion. But even so, it has become a giant of genetically modified seeds. And this time, not only has 10 times the scientific research fee, but also the technology of Gene Umbrella can be used freely, He Chou can't develop super seeds that enhance human physique and intelligence!

Henry does not have the technology of aliens, but he can use money to concentrate the wisdom of human beings and forcibly pile up the technology of the future!

1 scientific research talent and 100 scientific research talents develop the same technology, and the results are completely different!

Today, more than 30 companies under Henry's name basically constitute a monopoly, which is constantly watched by the US judicial department, and it is almost difficult to merge competitors. So, all you can do is poach and recruit talent. Which company the talent goes to, the U.S. judicial department can't control it!

Talent strategy is one of Henry's core strategies and the foundation of the empire's great cause!

Based on this talent strategy, the world's technological level is many years ahead of its predecessors. Henry believed that with him, the level of technology in this life would be far superior to the previous life.

On November 11, Monsanto held a press conference, the purpose of which was to increase people's confidence in Monsanto. Therefore, at the press conference, the major decision made by Gene Umbrella after the acquisition of Monsanto was described in great detail.

All major media around the world were shocked by Henry's generosity!

"U.S. $10 billion is spent on developing genetically modified seeds every year, just because of my daring and attitude, I have a lot of confidence in genetically modified food. Of course, I only trust Monsanto!!!"

"Yes, I also only look for Monsanto and other genetically modified foods, and I will also not dare to eat them in the future!"

"Monsanto's genetically modified technology is not bad, and now that it has the technical support of Gene Umbrella, it must be even more powerful!"

Everyone in the audience looked shocked, Henry said loudly: "Everyone, the purpose of Gene Umbrella's acquisition of Monsanto is not for profit, but for the benefit of mankind! I hereby promise that within five years, Monsanto will develop a variety of products to increase production by 2 to 10. Double the amount of genetically modified crop seeds to solve the world food crisis! I hope that one day, people all over the world can eat the food grown from Monsanto’s genetically modified seeds!!!”

As soon as Henry's voice fell, the audience applauded, the applause was thunderous, and it lasted for a long time...

The next day, Henry appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, with a brief introduction next to it: "Changing the world starts from seeds!!!"

At this time, the anti-GMO movement in the United States gradually died down, and countries around the world began to slowly accept genetically modified foods. Population countries like China and India need to buy a lot of food every year. They are most urgently needed for genetically modified seeds.

For a time, Monsanto's threshold was broken. Senior officials from the agricultural departments of various countries, international food giants, farm tycoons, etc. have come to Monsanto to seek cooperation. Many people asked Monsanto to sell them seeds, but Henry immediately ordered to stop the current sales of Monsanto's genetically modified seeds after he joined Monsanto. Henry believes that it is necessary to carry out the most rigorous and careful inspection of Monsanto's genetically modified seeds to prevent problems with these genetically modified seeds. And the next generation of Monsanto seeds is the main product! Henry believes that in the future, Monsanto will bring more surprises to the world! ! !

Of course, if Monsanto is just a seed company, it is easier to be controlled by others. Just like the anti-GMO movement in the United States, the food giants kicked Monsanto away one after another, putting Monsanto in an extremely bad predicament. Moreover, the food giants also rely on their monopoly position and hold Monsanto very low in terms of bargaining. When Henry entered Monsanto, how could he repeat the same mistakes and be controlled by others? !

Earlier, Henry let people buy farms all over the world, creating a one-stop industrial chain, integrating the three links of seeds, cultivation and sales. Now he has purchased large farms in the United States, Canada, South America, and Australia, and has become a farm tycoon with a land area larger than that of Japan!

Recently, Henry's men are buying a large farm in Australia, but the farmer insists on seeing Henry before deciding whether to sell it. Henry thought about it and decided to take the time to go to Australia. Because in addition to buying the farm, he has other things to do, and these things are also very important...
