The whereabouts of the boss's favorite remained unknown to others in the company.

It was extremely mysterious.

...

Soon, an unnoticeable piece of news appeared online:

Singapore's "Wilmar International" changed ownership.

This news went unnoticed domestically.

A private room in a five-star hotel.

Sun Dasheng personally welcomed the triumphant return of Wang Hai.

"Old Wang, this drink is for you. I didn't expect you'd accomplish the task I entrusted to you so remarkably. I thought it would at least take some time to negotiate with them."

Wang Hai cautiously stood up and returned the toast, humbly saying, "That's because, boss, you have strong capabilities. You overwhelmed them with money."

"Though Wilmar International is one of the top ten famous global grain merchants, its market value is now only around 20 billion Singapore Dollars, approximately over 100 billion RMB. When you threw in a premium of 300 billion, their minor shareholders couldn't resist at all and surrendered immediately, signing the share transfer agreement on the spot.

As for the major shareholder Robert Kuok's family and ADM company, even though they didn't want to sell, they had no choice. We acquired the largest shareholding; later, they couldn't help but sell, or else they couldn't withstand our company's continuous injections to dilute their shares."

Sun Dasheng laughed and patted his shoulder, "In any case, well done!"

However, Wang Hai still expressed the doubt in his heart: "President Sun, even though the company's market value is indeed undervalued, is it necessary for us to spend three times the price to acquire it?"

A company with a market value of 100 billion was acquired for 300 billion, if not for President Sun's usual wisdom and power, he would have wanted to argue a little.

Sun Dasheng faintly smiled, "Do you know who the major shareholder behind Golden Dragon Fish is, domestically?"

Huh?

Wang Hai immediately remembered, Wilmar International seemed to be its major shareholder.

"What's the current market value of Golden Dragon Fish?" Sun Dasheng continued to ask.

Wang Hai didn't need to check his phone; he was very familiar with such things and responded immediately, "150 billion."

"Ice fruit! What you don't know is Wilmar International owns 90% of the shares in Golden Dragon Fish through a series of maneuvers."

Wang Hai's eyes lit up, "So, Wilmar International's shares are significantly undervalued. Just considering the market value of its holding company, Golden Dragon Fish, which exceeds over 100 billion, it far surpasses its parent company's market value."

"Exactly. Now do you still think it's a loss to pay this price?" Sun Dasheng laughed.

Wang Hai quickly waved his hand, "Every one of the top ten grain merchants has taken years to reach their current scale, and controlling grain means holding the lifeblood of many countries. Such companies are generally not for sale, regardless of the premium."

"This time, we seized the opportunity amidst the global trade downturn and threw in a threefold premium."

"But..." Wang Hai's face showed a trace of worry.

"Are you worried the company's future operations might face constraints?" Sun Dasheng asked.

Wang Hai nodded, "Indeed, there are such concerns. Although this company's main body was in Singapore, it had quite a bit of Western capital. But now, we've acquired it all..."

"Your worries are justified. The West won't stand by and watch an Eastern company controlling such a large grain trade company. Though our company appears Western due to multiple layers of masks, it only fools the lower-level Karami. It can't deceive those at the top.

So, we need to do something."

Seeing the worried look on Wang Hai's face, Sun Dasheng smiled, "No need to worry too much. You once worked in a Western school, so you should know better than me what kind of people they are."

This sentence served as a reminder.

Intelligence gleamed in Wang Hai's eyes, and his confidence suddenly returned: "You mean, win them over and divide them?"

Sun Dasheng was very pleased, praising him as his right-hand man, quickly grasping the crux of the problem.

"The West isn't monolithic; there are myriad cliques with their own interests, we just need to find one willing to cooperate with us."

"Back then, we had many traitors; can't they produce a 'West traitor'?"

"Human nature is the same everywhere!"

...

Not long after the welcoming banquet.

Wang Hai brought good news.

"President Sun, you're like a strategists, as soon as we let the word out on the market, we received many cooperation intentions."

"Among them are many multinational corporations who, upon hearing we're willing to release 20% of the shares below the 100 billion market value, acted like cats smelling fishy scents."

"Didn't the ancestors say: 'The bustle of the world is all for gain, and all are driven by profit.' Alright, I'll leave this matter entirely to you."

"Understood, President Sun. I won't disappoint your trust."

After hanging up the phone, Sun Dasheng opened his mouth wide, with Ouyang Jiani feeding him grapes.

She just heard about this from her mentor, but was still a bit puzzled: "Master, why are you going to such lengths for this? There seems to be no benefit, spending considerable money yourself?"

A lofty answer: For the nation's food security.

An ordinary answer: Spend money to make money first.

The real answer: Money in hand not spent is just paper, better fleece some from overseas.

Hence.

Golden Dragon Fish, once a foreign product, became thoroughly domestic.

Of course, this matter cannot be widely publicized yet.

Quietly enter the village, without firing a shot.

Keeping a low profile is the way.

The people below are unaware, but those above knew about it immediately.

Indeed, the major leader of Shanghai City visited Keno Capital again, ostensibly for inspection, but in reality to inquire about the insider details of Wilmar Group's ownership change.

"Leader, rest assured, I will closely follow the country's footsteps. Wherever the national flag waves, I'll aim my gun."

This witty remark brought a knowing smile to the leader.

"You really want to stir up a storm, Monkey King Sun!"

"What the country is doing now is merely for our own national food security, purely defensive, with no ambition or energy to attack anyone."

"The leader's words are insightful. We Chinese do not bully others, unlike the Four Major Grain Merchants causing chaos internationally, making many countries face food shortages and even sparking wars."

This statement made the leader sigh: "We've endured so much from the Four Major Grain Merchants; we lost the soybean war thoroughly back then, with our domestic oil refining companies still relying on their soybean imports."

Sun Dasheng also came across the story of the soybean war while studying Wilmar Group's data; it was indeed a completely overwhelming defeat.

It was from then on that the domestics began placing high importance on food security issues.

Now even a behemoth like Sinograin emerged to meet the demand.

"Leader, my purchase of Wilmar Group also considers this aspect; we can rest assured if the oil on the tables of our people is under our control. Didn't a safety incident spark by this company before? How could these foreigners genuinely care about the safety of the oil we use?"

Sun Dasheng's words comforted the leader very much, worthy of being personally commended as a People's Entrepreneur, always keeping the people in mind.

"But you must ensure safety at all times. If a safety incident occurs, don't come pleading to me; I cannot afford the embarrassment." The leader sternly stated.

"Leader, rest assured, who I, Sun Dasheng, am, don't you know? A heart ready at all times."

After sending away the leader.

Only then did Sun Dasheng fully relax.

With grain and oil commodities, you can't maneuver domestically without a big BOSS backing you.

The first thing he did after acquiring the company was moving the domestic branch's headquarters to Shanghai City, sending a very clear signal.

Evidently, the major leader received his signal.

Knowing he proactively aligns with him.

In March.

Golden Dragon Fish suddenly launched a self-examination and accepted full responsibility for last year's oil tanker accident, apologizing to the public.

As long as you have a shopping receipt (both offline and online are acceptable)

You will be compensated with 10 barrels of oil.

At once, the internet was flooded with discussions about this matter.

"Really compensating with 10 barrels of oil?"

"Can't be true, how much would that cost?"

"I don't know, but my grandma went out early this morning to queue up for oil."
