Chapter 660 Ending
"Mr. Rodrigo, how is the negotiation going with your five major grain traders? Are there any results?"
"Mr. Rodrigo, does Pioneer Seeds really want to save the four major grain traders?"
"Mr. Rodrigo, how much soybean is expected to be produced in the Far East this year? What do you think about the soybean futures price falling below $180 a ton today?"
As soon as Rodrigo came out of the negotiation building, he was surrounded by reporters.
Now everyone in the world knows that the only one that can save soybean prices and the four major grain traders is Pioneer Seeds.
"Negotiation? I think I've been in there for less than an hour. What do you think?"
Under the protection of security, Rodrigo just said this before getting in the car and left, and the power of this one sentence was enough.
While Rodrigo was still on the road, the soybean futures price on the Chicago Board of Trade plummeted again, causing the already stable price to fluctuate again. Everyone was watching whether the soybean price would break through the $160 mark.
That night, the four major grain traders gathered together, looking helpless.
"Now the time is right for him. Everyone only cares about and believes that only Pioneer Seeds can save the soybean price and us. We can't afford to delay."
Bunge is right. Now it is no longer a question of soybean prices. Three of the four companies are listed companies. The collapse of soybeans in the afternoon caused a chain reaction in their company's stock prices.
The four major grain traders are already losers in the soybean battlefield. They must stand firm when being beaten, and the company’s stock price cannot collapse again.
"Contact Rodrigo, I don't want to waste any more time."
As soon as Cargill finished speaking, the faces of the people at ADM all looked unhappy.
What Cargill means is that ADM has no room for resistance or maneuver. If they do not agree, the other three companies will definitely abandon them.
ADM was ready to swallow their anger, but Rodrigo still gave them a warning the next day.
"2650 dollars? Didn't you say 2600 dollars yesterday?"
"Yes, it's $2600, but you also said that was yesterday's price."
Even though the price has only increased by fifty dollars per lot, for the four major grain traders, they will have to pay tens of millions of dollars more.
However, ADM no longer dared to argue with Rodrigo. No matter how much they argued, he would be the one who got hurt in the end.
"US$2650, we accept this price. Please tell us the other terms."
"You, Cargill, are very generous and you can tell at first glance that you can achieve great things, unlike some other companies."
"You..." The ADM staff's faces turned green with anger.
“The conditions for our Pioneer Seeds are very simple, there are only two.
The first is the new farm bill, which will require that genetically modified crops be subsidized."
The four major grain traders all thought of this, and if they did not agree, they would not negotiate with the other party.
"Okay, we agree to this one, what is the second one?"
"The second one? I want Pier 4 at the Port of Necochea and a stake in Pier 2 at the Port of Rosario."
"Impossible." ADM immediately became anxious.
"I agree." The first one to nod was Bangji.
"I agree".
“Louis Dreyfus has no problem either.”
"You...you are betraying your allies."
The Port of Rosario is the largest port in Argentina, and Pier 2 is mainly used for shipping grain and bulk cargo. This terminal has always been secretly controlled by the four major grain traders.
The fourth terminal of the Port of Necochea is exclusively owned by ADM, and is the largest grain transportation terminal owned by ADM in Argentina. This condition is obviously aimed at ADM, and the other three companies obviously sold ADM to protect themselves.
"So ADM doesn't agree?" Rodrigo said with a playful expression.
Don’t agree? Now, let alone Pioneer Seeds, if ADM doesn’t agree, the other three companies will not be nice to ADM.
If ADM does not agree to the other party's condition, the other three companies will definitely abandon it and negotiate with the other party alone.
By then, the interests of the three companies will definitely be damaged, unlike the current situation where ADM bears the main firepower.
But ADM is not much better. In the end, it still has to turn to Pioneer Seeds, and the conditions may be more stringent.
"We agree to your terms."
The situation is stronger than people, ADM has no choice but to agree.
"Thank you all very much."
Rodrigo finally showed a satisfied smile and was very content with his gains this time.
Pioneer Seeds has completed its layout in Brazil, but it suffers from the lack of its own exclusive grain port in Argentina.

With the acquisition of these two terminals, Pioneer Seeds now has transportation routes to the east and west, and the entire South America is within the radiation range of Pioneer Seeds.
"But we also have a condition. The price of soybean futures must rise within half a month and cannot be lower than US$180 per ton."
"No problem," Rodrigo agreed readily, which was beyond the expectations of the four major grain merchants.
Their bottom line was $175, but they didn't expect the other party to agree directly to $180, which can make up for a lot of losses.
Insider information, behind-the-scenes manipulation? This is a must.
Rules? They are made for people who have no say and no power.
While the five major grain traders are still negotiating, the stocks of three listed grain traders on the stock market have basically stopped their decline.
The price of soybean futures even rose to US$1652.4 per lot.
The market opened in the afternoon, and as soon as the news that the four major grain traders and Pioneer Seeds had reached an agreement came out, the stock market and futures market began to rise.
"Well done, now we have finally become true rule makers."
Luo Nianzhong received Rodrigo's call in the morning, which was the evening in the United States.
"As you said, they did ask us to raise the price of soybeans."
This is what Luo Nianzhong thought of, and he also told Rodrigo about it.
However, Luo Nianzhong's bottom line was US$185 per ton, but unexpectedly, both parties agreed on the middle value.
"Boss, although we have reached an agreement with the other party now, the overproduction of soybeans is known to the whole world. It is not easy to raise the price of soybeans in a short period of time."
Luo Nianzhong raised his lips slightly on the other end of the phone without further explanation, "You just need to know that the future soybean futures prices will be like a roller coaster.
I don’t know how much it will rise to, but $190 should be no problem.
Although Rodrigo didn't know how Luo Nianzhong would do it specifically, he had a rough idea in his mind.
The easiest way to increase soybean prices is to reduce shipments.
But the problem now is that this matter has become known to the whole world and no one dares to do this. This is an act of manipulating and monopolizing the market, otherwise the four major grain traders would not have made this request.
It is not easy for grain merchants to operate, but it is not a difficult task for Luo Nianzhong.
