"I won’t see him!"
After receiving Café Jackson, Donnie replied, "Just tell him I’m about to head out. Since the ADM matter is handed to you, have him discuss any issues with you directly!"
Hearing Donnie’s response, Café Jackson felt a bit excited inside.
Although John Dennis had previously said he wanted to et Donnie Block, not because he couldn’t make decisions regarding the matter himself, but to visit Donnie, Café Jackson understood that John Dennis actually wanted to bypass him and et Donnie Block to convince Donnie to abandon the acquisition of ADM or change the specific plans for acquiring ADM!
This situation, for soone in Café Jackson’s high position, was actually a sign of disrespect.
And now, Donnie’s response gave Café Jackson sufficient respect!
"Thank you, boss, don’t worry, I will personally take down ADM!" Café Jackson, holding the phone, forcibly suppressed his excitent and spoke calmly.
Tang Fei laughed heartily and said, "Of course I’m assured. Just handle it as you see fit. I’m heading to Washington in the next two days, keep an eye on things in Atlantic City for !"
"Understood!"
.
Café Jackson was invited again to his own office!
"Mr. Dennis, I’ve reported your request to our boss, but our boss is about to depart for Washington in the next two days, so there’s no ti to et with you. Let’s continue our negotiations!"
Café Jackson sat on his sofa, calmly looking at John Dennis.
After hearing Café Jackson’s words, John Dennis showed a troubled expression. If that is the case, the talks between the two might not go so smoothly!
"If that’s the case, it seems I can only go back and inform the entire company to prepare for being invaded!"
Café Jackson frowned, not expecting that even after he had clarified everything, John Dennis was still thinking of resisting.
Was he telling himself that he would rather risk mutual destruction than surrender?
This dissatisfaction in Café Jackson quickly dissipated as he said, "Of course, if Mr. Dennis thinks that way, I have no choice, but there’s sothing I think Mr. Dennis doesn’t know yet!"
John Dennis’s expression changed slightly. Every ti Café Jackson said sothing like this, it ant there was sothing unacceptable happening to him!
"I wonder what Mr. Jackson is referring to?"
Café Jackson replied, "Just before Mr. Dennis ca to Atlantic City, our company’s people had already gone down south to negotiate with those big farrs about buying their land. As a friend, I can tell you, for this acquisition, our company has prepared a full $200 million!"
John Dennis’s face suddenly changed!
At present, ADM was not like the ADM of the future—a global top four grain rchant, and their business had not expanded outside the United States.
That is to say, their main partners now were those big farrs in the southern United States, and while Venus Bank’s $200 million couldn’t acquire all the farms in the south, ADM also wasn’t collaborating with every southern farr, considering there are many other grain rchants across the U.S.!
"In other words, if your company ever wanted, you could directly sever our foundation in the downstream market!"
John Dennis looked at Café Jackson with a complex expression!
Café Jackson laughed and said, "If ADM doesn’t want to be choked, it can also compete with us for those farms in the south!"
John Dennis laughed self-deprecatingly, "Compete? How to compete? Our outco would rely be letting those farrs earn a bit more, but if we redirect our funds this way, I assu at that ti, your company will start acquiring our company’s stock in the stock market, right?"
Café Jackson lit a cigar for himself and said, "I don’t want to deceive you, Mr. Dennis; that’s just the reality!"
At this mont, John Dennis felt completely defeated.
This was no longer a matter of business tactics; when a lion faces another lion, it can win using tactics, but how do you fight when a lion faces a tank?
There is absolutely no chance of winning!
John Dennis believed that now ADM was that lion, and what he faced was not just a tank, but a group of tanks already surrounding the lion!
This was utterly unwinnable!
After figuring these things out, John Dennis understood that he had no other way out!
"I understand!" John Dennis sat on the sofa, seemingly having aged significantly in an instant: "Let’s discuss your company’s acquisition price now!"
Café Jackson smiled, finally, the matter was being negotiated!
.
Just as the Venus Bank negotiation team, led by Café Jackson, and the ADM negotiation team, led by John Dennis, were engaged in a war of words, Donnie had already booked a train to Washington!
Donnie’s arrival made Washington’s people experience a mix of hot and cold!
Edgar Hoover, who had always kept an eye on Donnie’s actions, was the first to know about this.
At this mont, his expression was gloomy, sitting alone in his office!
The radium-containing product hazard event had just passed a few days ago, and Donnie was already in Washington. What was he planning to do?
