America 1919-Chapter 1105 - 377, Acquisition of ADM Plan Begins_3

After understanding all this, John Dennis said, "Mr. Jackson, your plan truly surprised me, and I must admit, the blueprint you’ve outlined is indeed very tempting. But since Mr. Jackson, you want Cargill, why do you want to acquire us, ADM?"

Café Jackson laughed and said, "Because if we acquire Cargill, then the next thing to acquire would be ADM! I think Mr. Dennis, you certainly wouldn’t want to see such a situation happen, right?"

John Dennis was speechless, so Venus Bank wants to become the largest grain company in the United States after entering the grain field directly?

But at this moment, John Dennis also realized how determined Café Jackson is regarding this matter!

"Mr. Jackson, I want to know, if our ADM refuses Venus Bank’s acquisition, what will you do? Will you first turn to acquire Cargill and then acquire our ADM, or will you first launch a hostile takeover of ADM?"

Café Jackson said, "Mr. Dennis, regarding what you’re thinking, it’s something we very much hope won’t happen.

From the very beginning, Venus Bank has been hoping for a peaceful acquisition of ADM. Moreover, if ADM accepts the acquisition by Venus Bank, besides the benefit I just mentioned of completing the acquisition of Cargill, there are other benefits!"

John Dennis asked, "What benefits?"

Café Jackson laughed and said, "Storage!"

John Dennis’s expression changed once again. At this moment, he remembered another business under Venus Bank, United States Logistics!

Currently, United States Logistics has already grown into a unique logistics company in the United States, and it’s not just their transportation capability but also their storage capability!

United States Logistics now owns the largest storage centers across the United States, located in various states and several major cities.

ADM, being a significant grain company in the United States, doesn’t just engage in the simple selling of grains alone.

Instead, it’s a massive industrial network integrating planting, production processing, storage logistics, and sales into one. Although ADM hasn’t completed its entire commercial layout yet, with ADM’s expansion, it will certainly form such an industrial network in the end.

Storage logistics is an important link in this!

Thinking of this, John Dennis even suspected that when Donnie Block established United States Logistics, he had already considered this.

After all, before Donnie Block created United States Logistics, the logistics business wasn’t valued in the U.S. and even globally!

Café Jackson continued, "I can honestly tell Mr. Dennis that while I am negotiating with you, United States Logistics has already started accumulating land. By the time we complete the acquisition of your company, United States Logistics will build a complete grain reserve network nationwide. By then, with just this advantage, I believe ADM will already be ahead of other grain companies!"

John Dennis now felt both envious and fearful!

Envious because Venus Bank is so financially strong that it can invest more funds into building grain storage centers while acquiring them, ADM.

Fearful because if this is the case, then Venus Bank would have more power to constrain ADM. The most important thing is his and George Archer’s influence in the company.

This is the same reasoning Café Jackson used previously to tell him about acquiring Cargill, those small and medium shareholders of ADM see that if ADM had such a storage center, it would be greatly beneficial to ADM’s business, and the benefits are huge, so they have no reason to object!

"Mr. Jackson, you telling me all this so straightforwardly now, does it mean you also want to tell me that acquiring ADM is a sure success for Venus Bank?"

Café Jackson smiled, "Venus Bank never makes unconfident wartime preparations. I’m truly sorry to tell you, Mr. Dennis, that acquiring ADM is something that Venus Bank is determined to achieve, and no one can stop it!"

John Dennis furrowed his brows. Café Jackson’s current attitude was actually telling him to either cooperate and grow together or face a confrontation, but Café Jackson indicated that his side already had an absolute winning chance!

"The greatest wealth of a company is its talents. I admit that financially, we cannot compare to Venus Bank, but we possess the greatest wealth of the entire company. If we both really end up in a contest over ADM in the future, these talents will be our weapons, Mr. Jackson. Do you want an ADM that has lost its greatest wealth?"

This was John Dennis’s last card!

Café Jackson nodded and said, "That is why I am here today to engage in a serious negotiation with you, Mr. Dennis, instead of launching a direct acquisition of ADM. We respect your company’s talent, but I also hope you understand, Mr. Dennis, that the world can function without anyone, and the same goes for a company.

I believe what you just said, but likewise, I believe that as long as we can offer them benefits that they cannot refuse, would they still stand firmly on your side?"

John Dennis fell into silence, and suddenly said, "I know Mr. Block has returned to Atlantic City. If Mr. Jackson has no objections, I hope to meet Mr. Block!"

Café Jackson slightly frowned, "Mr. Dennis, do you think I am unable to make the decision on this matter?" free𝑤ebnovel.com

"Of course not!" John Dennis directly denied, "I just greatly admire Mr. Block’s ability, so I want to meet him!"
