……

The situation is better than others. Alfonso fanjul really has the intention to retreat, because the sudden sugar war has confused the situation, so that he does not dare to engage in the so-called capital operation, which is called integration of the industry and is actually a kind of extortion. In case he is caught out at the upcoming joint meeting of the sugar industry, there will be an internal fight at this time, He fell into the dilemma of not knowing the overall situation.

After all, the sweetener business of the fanjul family belongs to the traditional sucrose camp, not the new high fructose corn syrup.

In short, under the heavy competitive pressure of high fructose corn syrup step by step, Alfonso fanjul, who has tried his best to seize this great opportunity from the sky and launch a major counterattack, should also join the current situation.

Sir Gao, who directed the play, was not prepared to attend the sugar industry joint conference in person after receiving the invitation. It's not Ronald Zegler, the CEO. He doesn't have to do everything personally. Moreover, at this stage, the sugar business is often part of his affiliated group, such as United Sugar Co., Ltd., which also makes gin, Gulf western industrial company, which has diversified for many years, naturally covers a wider range, so Gao Xian focuses on the top-level design of the structure of new Gulf western industrial company.

As for the number of patients with diabetes, liver cirrhosis and obesity in the 1970 century, the number of high fructose corn syrup was widely associated with the food industry in the United States. The high chord was not hidden from Ronald Ziegler, William, Miller, Jim Zhu De, and so on. The purpose is to reposition the value of the sugar business assets of Gulf western industrial company, and then drive the share price of Gulf western industrial company.

No matter where it is, there is no trivial matter about food safety. Once it is poked out, it will attract public attention.

During this period, there are still many hot social topics in the United States. What statistics show that the American economy has finally rebounded from the bottom of this wave of severe recession; The rampant boom in video game consoles not only affects the physical and mental health of teenagers, but also tends to make adults lose heart in playing with things, etc. However, the social topic of which is better or worse between high fructose corn syrup and traditional sugar has become the first hot spot since it emerged.

You know, in the United States, high fructose corn syrup has been widely used in all kinds of drinks, bread, Cereals, snacks, bacon, yogurt, soup, seasoning and so on to increase the sweetness of these commercial foods. It can be called omnipresent. For example, the two world-class brands of cola companies in the United States are turning the sweeteners in their products to high fructose corn syrup.

In this case, there are countless stakeholders that can be naturally associated with, difficult to predict, or direct or indirect. They don't know when to jump out and shout for their respective camps.

For example, Buffett on the Forbes 400 list of the richest people in the United States, which was released only last year, revealed his export style. I drink five cans of coke a day. I'm not very healthy.

Sir Gao, who smiled knowingly, chatted with Patricia: "it seems that Buffett has a lot of coke stocks."

Miss Hurst also laughed, "in fact, Buffett's statement should not support high fructose corn syrup, but worry that coke adopting high fructose corn syrup in order to reduce costs will be adversely affected."

"That's true." Gao Xian nodded. "The American corn processing association is the core force of the high fructose corn syrup camp."

In short, the interests represented by the American corn processing association headquartered in the Peanut Stew special zone are not limited to high fructose corn syrup, but also a wider range of corn processing and refining fields such as corn starch and corn oil. Its members include large enterprises with monopoly strength such as Archie Dennis Midland Company and Cargill company.

For example, the merger of domestic railway companies in the United States could not be carried out under the intervention of the American corn processing association. The fear is that the transportation price will increase.

Even in the trade war between countries, the American corn processing association has a voice that can not be underestimated. It is natural to understand the status of food power.

High fructose corn syrup is a cornucopia that has only begun to form an application trend in recent ten years. It has been recognized as safe by the Federal Food and drug administration, and has been widely used in the food industry with a strong foundation of official licensing.

However, Gao Xian doesn't have to worry about anything. High fructose corn syrup has moved more than one person's cheese. Traditional natural sweeteners such as sugarcane sugar, beet sugar and honey all remember the hatred of losing market share one after another. The combined strength is no weaker than that of the American corn processing association.

Ronald Zegler, who attended the joint meeting of the sugar industry, said after returning that although the atmosphere at the scene was a little messy, there were still consistent results. Among them, Ronald Zegler, on behalf of Gulf western industries, urged food companies to prominently mark the use of high fructose corn syrup on the product composition list.

Gao Xian is quite satisfied with the outcome of such a meeting, because he has a clear understanding of the sugar war, that is, the two camps have a big water war, advertising war, lobbying Zhengfu war... The excitement is lively, but it is impossible to slap the high fructose corn syrup.

In the final analysis, because of interests, the traditional sugar industry must have its own problems.

As early as 1789, the US government began to protect the US domestic sugar industry by levying tariffs, resulting in the continuous increase of sucrose prices; On the other hand, the U.S. corn industry enjoys government subsidies, plus the blessing of transgenic technology. In terms of raw material cost alone, high fructose corn syrup occupies an unshakable advantage.

Although high fructose corn syrup has a bad reputation, its cost is only about one-third of sucrose. It is self-evident how to choose for commercial forces pursuing profit maximization.

In Gao Xian's view, the clear distinction between foods using sucrose and high fructose corn syrup is enough to ensure the interests of the sugar business of Gulf western industrial company, and then the sugar war is even a victory.

As a manifestation of achieving the goal, the share price of Gulf western industries finally began to rise.

About ten years ago, the share price of Gulf western industrial company was only 0.7 US dollars; After a series of twists and turns, such as the first world oil crisis, the global economic recession in the mid-1970s, the second world oil crisis, and the severe recession in the United States in the early 1980s, the share prices of Gulf western industries have gone up and down. Recently, they have been hovering in the range of $4 to $5; Stimulated by the sugar war, the share price of Gulf western industries is expected to rise to more than $8.

This level is certainly far less than IBM, which borrowed the wave of personal computers and has seemingly unlimited scenery, but compared with those American banks devastated by the Latin American sovereign debt crisis, such as Bank of America, it is enough to be on an equal footing.

"This sugar war is destined to last for a long time. I don't know when to toss. Gulf western industrial company has so many businesses that it's not necessary to spend all its energy on it." Gao Xian said to Ronald Zegler: "it's time to hold the press conference of the new board of directors of Gulf western industrial company."

Ronald Zegler reminded: "at the joint meeting of the sugar industry, I saw Alfonso fanjul. When this guy saw me, his eyes twinkled and he didn't know what bad water was. We should be careful about this press conference."

Gao Xian smiled. "I don't expect Alfonso fanjul to stir up any waves. If he still wants the sugar company in southern Puerto Rico, he should refer to the real market value and future prospects for trading. I won't really refuse people thousands of miles away."

……

The sugar war is raging, and Shanghai Bay western industrial company itself is a large enterprise within the top 100 of the Fortune 500. Therefore, it is not difficult to imagine that the first press conference of the new board of directors of Gulf western industrial company has attracted reporters in droves, and everyone wants to get first-hand materials.

Although Gao Xian made no secret of his intention in the process of competing for the full control of the Gulf western industrial company, when he directly faced the American media, he converged well, and even kept a low profile, which surprised reporters.

In his first speech, sir Gao missed the deep friendship he had worked with Charles bludorn for many years, and ensured that the business Kingdom built by the permanent chairman of the board of directors of Gulf western industries will be better developed.

These remarks whitewash the previous power struggle of the Gulf western industrial company, and Sir Gao naturally inherited the "unification".

Even Gao Xian seems to inadvertently mention that he, the chairman of the board of directors, is only a temporary arrangement out of consideration of stability. The future chairman of the board of directors of Gulf western industrial company should still choose from the local business circles in the United States. Even at this stage, William Miller, the vice chairman of the board of directors of Gulf western industrial company, will perform his duties more on behalf of himself.

The financial reporters on the scene were not so easy to be fooled by the appearance that they promised not to monopolize power. Someone directly asked Gao Xian the bottom of the matter in the question link. What would be unique in personnel arrangement after the turmoil experienced by Gulf western industrial company.

Sir Gao replied with a smile: "the board of Directors believes in the ability of the management team of Gulf western industrial company, and is planning to establish a management committee with reference to the mature experience of successful enterprises such as IBM and attract outstanding talents."

In short, Gao Xian's words still convey that meaning. He will not monopolize power like Charles bludorn, and the Gulf Western Industrial Company will not lose the aura of American enterprises.

Seeing that Sir Gao was flattered and humiliated and did not reveal water, the reporters put a breakthrough in the business of Gulf western industrial company.

Gao Xian said with a relaxed face that doing business requires patience. As we all know, the southern Puerto Rico sugar company under the Gulf western industrial company has had a poor business performance in recent years due to the impact of the industry cycle. However, when consumers began to pay attention to food health issues, the value of the southern Puerto Rico sugar company was re recognized by the market, Led to the share price of the whole Gulf western industrial company.

Although Sir Gao never mentioned the current sugar war in full swing, there was no doubt that the value of the sugar company in southern Puerto Rico had indeed risen.

Another person asked interestingly: "for a long time, there have been rumors in the market that the Gulf Western Industrial Company intends to package and sell the sugar company in southern Puerto Rico in order to improve the financial situation of the whole group. Do you know that the Gulf western industrial company still has this plan?"

Gao Xian answered frankly: "Shopping malls should not rule out any possibility. Let's talk about it on a case by case basis. I don't dislike this rumor. Now I can ask in front of everyone, do you still buy? The price is easy to discuss! I think that with the current recognition of sucrose and the bright prospect, the southern sugar companies in Puerto Rico should be worth more than 2 billion US dollars. If you are sincere, welcome to negotiate 。”

Ronald Zegler, sitting next to him, almost laughed. He had been thinking about Alfonso fanjul, who bought the sugar company in southern Puerto Rico. how dare he jump out again at this time.

……

Under the guidance of Sir Gao, who was used to seeing the big audience, the press conference ended smoothly, although there were some episodes.

However, shortly after the press conference, a secret message related to the sugar war came. Although high fructose corn syrup will not be banned, its reputation is getting worse and worse. Even staunch supporters such as the American corn processing association realized it, so they asked experts to give advice to change the name of high fructose corn syrup to a more acceptable name, including The candidate included is corn candy.

Gao Xian frowns slightly. The wishful thinking of the American corn processing association is really loud. If this plan is really implemented, with the forgetfulness of the ordinary people and the brainwashing of the secretly controlled media, high fructose corn syrup is really very sure to get away from the sugar war.

Ronald Zegler, who also figured out the mystery, offered advice and said: "it doesn't matter. As long as other sugar companies know the news, I believe the Federal Food and Drug Administration will never let go."

Gao Xian nodded slightly, "it is unrealistic to ban high fructose corn syrup, so let it always be listed on the list of public doubts. We must not let it play the trick of getting rid of its shell and change itself, and continue to seize the market share of our traditional sweeteners in another form."

Ronald Zegler smiled comprehensively. "High fructose corn syrup wants to slip, dream!"
