With Zhang Ruiqiang's approval, Beidacang Group and New Hope Group's merger was approved very quickly.
These two companies immediately issued a joint announcement, and all the related shares were suspended. Many shareholders regretted. If they had bought the shares earlier, the shares will surely shoot up.
This news was quickly reported by the US media, and the European media also reported about it. After all, this will affect the industry rankings.
Originally, there were four major agricultural and sideline products companies in the world. According to their initials, they were known as the ABCD Big Four in the industry.
But Beidacang Group emerged as a new force and integrated many of Hua Xia's advantageous industries. Their growth is very fast, and they can threaten the position of these four agricultural giants.
These four giants felt threatened by Beidacang Group and joined forces to enter the Hua Xia market. They plan to slow down Beidacang Group's growth. In fact, these four giants had spread some false information to slow down Beidacang Group's expansion.
When these four giants thought they can use their long-term plans to make Beidacang Group suffer and even have the chance to swallow them up in the future, Beidacang Group changed their CEO and immediately launched a merger plan.
Hua Xia is a big agricultural country. Although it cannot be compared to the US, it has caught up with Canada, Australia, and other traditional agricultural countries. It even overtook those European agricultural countries.
These four agro-industry giants knew Beidacang Group was backed by the Chinese market, and they knew Beidacang Group had the advantage.
There are more than 1 billion people in Hua Xia, and it is very densely packed. Although the spending power is not high, it has a lot of potential.
No agricultural or food related company in the world does not want to enter or even occupy the Hua Xia market. Someone once said that if one of the four agricultural companies can occupy the Hua Xia market, that company will be one position ahead of the rest and become the industry leader.
Among them, the most enthusiastic is Jiaji. This company was once the world's top non-listed company and can compete with Mars Candy. Jiaji is the first to enter the Hua Xia market and has a good partner. That is New Hope Group. They are selling many of New Hope Group's products and had developed some animal feeds suitable for the Hua Xia market.
Jiaji had talked to the Liu brothers more than once, hoping that both parties could merge. This way, with the help of the Hope Group's channels, they could completely open up the Hua Xia market and even have a huge boost in the Southeast Asian market.
The fact that they were willing to give up their positions as executive directors was a sign of their sincerity. It was just that this was far from the power that the Liu brothers had hoped for.
What's more, the Liu brothers had always been known as one of the leaders of private entrepreneurs. They didn't want to be labeled as "traitors." There was a time when a domestic company merged with a foreign company, but it was violently boycotted by the employees of the company, and the matter was blown up. Merger was possible, but the leader was very important.
Jia Ji received news of the merger at the first instance and immediately started to discuss countermeasures. They announced in the media that Hua Xia's government had made a mistake by ignoring the monopoly. Obviously, this way, Beidacang Group will completely monopolize Hua Xia's animal feed and other industries. How can such a company be merged with Hua Xia?
Previously, Hua Xia was number one in Hope Group's animal feed industry and Beidacang was number two. Now, after the merger, Beidacang Group's production and sales will be more than 10 times that of the other company.
The difference was so huge that it made people despair. The other companies' representatives also started to speak out, condemning Hua Xia's government for not doing anything. But they could only say this. This was because when they wanted to monopolize the market in Hua Xia, Hua Xia's government gave a strong response.
This is a merger between two companies in Hua Xia. The purpose of the merger is for better development. Also, these two companies had never monopolized the market and ignored the "concerns" of the overseas companies.
Immediately, the overseas media had a new response. They felt that the person who played a key role in this merger was Feng Yu, the World's Richest Man.
The Liu brothers were the shareholders and directors of Minsheng Banking, which was controlled by Feng Yu. It was said that they had known Feng Yu for a long time and had a good relationship with him. Feng Yu's Taihua Holdings was the second biggest shareholder of Beidacang Group. What else was there to explain?
This was obviously Feng Yu using his influence to monopolize the market. They claimed that Feng Yu would be the biggest obstacle to Hua Xia's progress. This was because anyone who surpassed Feng Yu in related industries would be acquired by Hua Xia.
Beidacang Group was a state-owned company, and its shares were diluted. Now, the state-owned company had a stake in the company. This was unimaginable to the overseas media.
Some media even wrote headlines like Feng Yu monopolizing an industry again. They said that Feng Yu's goal in every industry was to monopolize the market.
Look at Hua Xia's IT and electronics industry. Feng Yu had a stake in the company, and he had a monopoly in this industry. Hua Xia's video game industry had no competitors. Supermarkets were monopolized, beverages were monopolized, automobiles were monopolized, agricultural machines were monopolized, and even bicycles were monopolized.
Feng Yu looked at the news on the internet and felt helpless. He had asked Zong Qingxian to be the frontline leader. Seems like it was useless. Feng Yu had not shown his face for a long time and did not do anything significant. Why did he make the headlines again?
Feng Yu really did not want to be in the headlines. He could not even avoid it?
Many of the media's guesses were close to the truth. But they added some comments after that, and they were biased. They made it seem like Feng Yu was a tumor and a roadblock.
But Feng Yu also understood that these media were doing this on purpose. They wanted to use the media's influence to stop the merger of these two companies. Even if it was only for a short period of time, it would be beneficial to those companies.
But most of the media's comments were too exaggerated. How could Feng Yu have a monopoly in any industry? Feng Yu did not forbid his domestic competitors from participating in any of the industries. If Feng Yu had increased the entry threshold or used his status to influence the industry, then it can be considered a monopoly.
It was just that Feng Yu's company had the highest market share. Monopolizing the market will cause other companies to have no way out. Supermarket monopoly? Where did Hua Xia get so many supermarkets? Beverage monopoly? Hua Xia has more beverage brands than many people can imagine.
Songjiang Motors' market share in China had also decreased. Feng Yu was also joking.
Feng Yu could not be bothered to explain. These comments will not affect him. Feng Yu asked Beidacang to complete the merger as soon as possible. Those companies are slandering us, right? Then we will retaliate and go to Europe and the US to snatch the market share!
