Great Power Reclamation

Chapter 2919 If you're not honest, I'll beat you until you kneel.

He swiftly issued the following instructions: 1. Counterattack in public opinion: Immediately activate the emergency plan. The top law firm cooperating with Brother Investment sent a lawyer's letter to the organization that published the false report, demanding correction and reserving the right to sue.

At the same time, we released pre-prepared positive reports through friendly media outlets about how Brother Investment strictly adheres to international rules and actively fulfills its social responsibilities.

Members of the Future Party are holding a hearing in Parliament to question whether their opponents’ actions of “using political power to attack businesses” violate free market principles.

2. Market game: "Since they want to short sell so badly, we'll give them a taste of their own medicine."

Ye Feng ordered his analysis team to precisely calculate the size and cost range of the opponent's short positions. Then, he made a bold decision:

Using huge sums of money, coupled with the upcoming release of better-than-expected quarterly financial reports, they forcibly drove up the prices of those cloud computing stocks that were being shorted!

"A price surge requires a huge amount of capital, which could affect our investments in other areas..."

The risk control officer warned, "Temporarily allocate a portion from the joint investment fund in cooperation with the Middle East. This battle must be won! We must inflict heavy losses on them!" Ye Feng declared resolutely.

3. Political maneuvering: Ye Feng personally contacted the leader of the "Future Party" and the heads of relevant domestic departments, explaining the situation in detail.

"We need to conduct necessary communication and countermeasures at the national level to demonstrate the serious concern of Chinese companies about this unwarranted suppression."

At the same time, he instructed the European team to increase communication with the economic departments of Germany and France, provide evidence of their political lobbying, and emphasize that such protectionist behavior also harms the long-term interests of European companies (because many European companies also use Warrior Group's products or technologies).

A multi-dimensional counterattack has been launched.

The financial markets were the most volatile. With Brother Investment's massive continuous buying, the share prices of those cloud computing stocks defied the market trend and surged for several consecutive days, causing heavy losses for short sellers.

Rumors began circulating in the market that some funds were facing huge losses due to a short squeeze. Ye Feng's "violent price surge" was simple and brutal, but extremely effective, severely punishing those who attempted to profit through short selling.

In the public discourse, the two sides went back and forth, and it was difficult to determine a winner for a while, but at least they successfully offset some of the other side's offensive and prevented a one-sided negative public opinion from forming.

On the political front, China's diplomatic negotiations and differing voices within Europe have created some resistance to the suppression efforts by the West, at least delaying the introduction of some extreme measures.

In this round of confrontation, Ye Feng withstood the pressure and even inflicted considerable losses on his opponent. However, he also expended a great deal of resources and energy. He understood that this head-on confrontation could not last.

V. Breakthrough Point: Next-Generation Technology Standards

The real turning point came from a major breakthrough at the Warrior Group's laboratory.

After years of dedicated research, the Warrior Group has made revolutionary progress in the core coding technology and ultra-low power chip design of next-generation communication technology (Beyond 5G/6G), with performance indicators far exceeding any currently available publicly available technical solutions.

This means that in the future era of the Internet of Everything, the Warrior Group may dominate global technology standards.

Ye Feng realized that this was an absolute trump card that could change the course of the battle.

Instead of rushing to release all the details, he cleverly released some key information and test data, enough to cause a huge shock in the global industry, while maintaining enough mystery.

Immediately, major global telecommunications equipment manufacturers, mobile phone manufacturers, and internet giants couldn't sit still and sent people to inquire about the situation and seek potential cooperation.

Even some European and American companies that had previously been cautious or even resistant to the Warrior Group have lowered their stance.

Ye Feng seized the opportunity.

He announced through his brother's investment that Warrior Group is willing to work with global partners in an open manner to promote the standardization and industrialization of new technologies.

There are many ways to cooperate: technology licensing, joint ventures, cross-patent licensing, and even accepting strategic investment.

However, there is a prerequisite: partners must agree with the principles of open, fair, and non-discriminatory technology development and be willing to jointly maintain the stability of the global industrial chain.

This gesture immediately put the Western financial groups in a difficult position.

If they continue to obstruct and suppress, it could result in their domestic companies being excluded from the next generation of technological revolution, which would be an unbearable loss.

If they choose to cooperate, it means they must acknowledge the Warriors Group's technological leadership and share some of the profits.

Ye Feng successfully leveraged his technological advantages to shift the focus from pure capital competition and political suppression to industrial cooperation that was in his favor.

Many European companies, and even some American companies, have begun to pressure their governments to adopt a more pragmatic approach to cooperating with Chinese companies.

The pressure has shifted back to Sir Alex Ferguson and others.

Faced with enormous industrial profits, pure capital and political suppression became unsustainable. Divisions also emerged within Western financial groups.

Some capital forces that are more focused on practical business interests have begun to question Cleveland and Alnim's hardline approach.

Ultimately, after a series of complex behind-the-scenes deals and negotiations, the two sides reached a fragile compromise:

At the US and European government level, some of the extreme crackdown measures targeting Warrior Group and Brothers Investment have been suspended. Although CFIUS reviews remain strict, some predictability has been restored.

Brothers Investments is committed to exercising caution in certain highly sensitive areas, such as cutting-edge tech directly related to defense, and to increasing the transparency of its investments.

The Warrior Group spearheaded the establishment of a "Global Future Technology Open Alliance," inviting numerous giants, including European and American companies, to participate in the joint research and development and formulation of next-generation communication technology standards.

Brothers Investments also pledged that its investments would be more guided by commercial principles.

This global capital game, which lasted for nearly a year, has temporarily come to an end.

Ye Feng successfully leveraged the power of capital, withstood the pressure, opened up new possibilities, and won valuable space and allies for the future commercialization of the Warrior Group's technology.

Through this ordeal, Brothers Investment has truly grown into a formidable force in the global capital market.

New York, Brothers Investment Headquarters. Ye Feng looked at the market data from major global markets on the screen, as well as the continuous stream of positive reports on the progress of the technology alliance, and slowly exhaled.

He knew that this game had no real end. The old balance was broken, a new order was being established, and friction and competition would be the norm.

But he was no longer simply an heir relying on his father's business foundation. He had forged the blade of capital himself and learned how to wield it in the world's most prestigious power games.

"Capital is the wings, technology is the body."

He murmured to himself, "The next stop might be space, or genes, or the ultimate form of artificial intelligence... Wherever we are, we must have a place."

His gaze extended beyond Wall Street to the more distant future. On the global chessboard of capital, he had already made a crucial and undeniable move, and the game had only just begun.

In the top-floor office of Brothers Investments headquarters in Manhattan, New York, floor-to-ceiling windows reveal rows of skyscrapers, with the bustling traffic of Wall Street appearing as flowing points of light below.

Ye Feng's fingertip swept across the equity structure diagram on the tablet. The matrix of "brother" companies on the screen resembled an impenetrable network, firmly grasping core sectors such as finance, technology, media, and insurance.

The foundation of this network extends far beyond the Warrior Group, encompassing the "sister companies" system he built over a decade, which is now an unshakeable behemoth in the United States.

"Boss, the latest quarterly report from our investment bank has been released. Pan Am's premium income increased by 12% quarter-on-quarter, Fox's primetime ratings remained in the top three in the US, Facebook's daily active users exceeded 30 billion, and Apple's market share in North America surpassed Samsung for the first time, reaching 28%."

Chief Strategy Officer Chen Mo stood to the side, his tone barely concealing his excitement:
"More importantly, the Progressive Party has won five key Senate seats and increased its House of Representatives share to 41% in the midterm elections. The party leader has just sent a secret telegram inquiring whether to push for amendments to the Cross-Border Capital Fair Regulation Act."

Ye Feng raised his hand to interrupt him, his gaze falling on the "sister company" node at the core of the equity structure diagram.

The outside world only knows that Brothers Investment is backed by the technical strength of Warrior Group, but no one knows that Brothers Company is its real trump card.

This Delaware-registered holding group effectively controls Lehman Brothers, Pan Am, Fox, Facebook, and Apple Mobile through a multi-layered trust structure, with total assets exceeding $3.2 trillion, equivalent to 15% of the US GDP.

"Any movement from Jewish capital?"

Ye Feng put down his tablet, his knuckles lightly tapping the table. He knew very well that the previous power struggles with the Cleveland Consortium and Alnim Capital had always had the shadow of Jewish capital behind them—

Those Jewish financial families who control half of Wall Street never took the "outsider" Ye Feng seriously from the beginning. They secretly hijacked the merger and acquisition projects invested by the brothers several times, and even joined forces with the Federal Reserve to put pressure on Pan American Insurance in an attempt to restrict the flow of funds.

Chen Mo pulled up an encrypted document: "According to the tracking by the 'Deep Blue Project' team, Goldman Sachs CEO Blankfein secretly met with the head of the Rothschild family's European operations last week, seemingly to coordinate the next move against us."

"In addition, Morgan Stanley's hedge funds have recently been secretly shorting the stock of Haitangguo Mobile, and the short position has now accumulated to $80 billion."

"Short?"

Ye Feng sneered, "They haven't suffered enough yet. Notify Lehman Brothers to use $200 billion in liquidity after the market opens tomorrow to drive the stock price of Haitangguo to a record high and force those short sellers to liquidate their positions."

"In addition, let Fox News launch a special report tonight, exposing evidence that Morgan Stanley hedge funds used insider information to short sell - don't be afraid, we have solid evidence of their manipulation of oil futures last year, which can be used as a backup plan at any time."

The following morning, as soon as the Nasdaq Stock Exchange opened, Haitangguo Mobile's stock experienced an epic surge.

The stock, which opened at $187, surged to $245 within half an hour, a gain of over 30%, driven by massive buy orders from Lehman Brothers.

Morgan Stanley's hedge funds were unable to close their positions in time, and their account losses instantly exceeded $50 billion, forcing them to urgently apply to the Federal Reserve for emergency liquidity support.

Meanwhile, Brothers News' evening special report aired on time.

During the program, the host presented a screenshot of an email marked "confidential," clearly showing that Morgan Stanley hedge fund managers obtained false information about the supply chain of Haitangguo mobile phones in advance and used this as a basis to short the stock.

The report caused an uproar on Wall Street, and the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) announced overnight that it would launch an investigation into Morgan Stanley, completely thwarting the Jewish capital's meticulously planned short-selling scheme.

"Blankfein called, hoping to have a private meeting with you."

When Chen Mo entered the office, Ye Feng was reviewing Pan Am Insurance's overseas asset allocation report. Pan Am Insurance, the third-largest insurance company in the United States, manages $1.2 trillion in insurance funds and is one of Wall Street's most important institutional investors.

Previously, Jewish capital had made several attempts to win over Pan American Insurance, but Ye Feng rejected them all on the grounds that their investment strategies were incompatible.

Ye Feng raised his eyes: "Tell Blankfein that the meeting is fine, but the location should be the conference room at the Brothers Group headquarters—I want to show him who is the master of Wall Street now."

Three days later, in the top-floor conference room of the Brothers Group headquarters building. Blankfein sat opposite Ye Feng, his expression even more grim than expected.

On the large screen in the conference room, Fox News' follow-up reports on the Morgan Stanley short-selling incident and real-time updates on the SEC investigation were playing on a loop.

"Mr. Ye, I think there might be some misunderstanding between us."

Blankfein attempted to break the silence, stating, "Goldman Sachs has always hoped to collaborate with Brother Investments, for example, through joint investments in the new energy sector."

"A misunderstanding?" Ye Feng toyed with the pen in his hand, his tone tinged with sarcasm.
“Mr. Blankfein, three months ago, we planned to acquire a German new energy battery company, but Goldman Sachs suddenly stepped in and snatched the project away with a 30% premium.”

“A month ago, Pan Am wanted to increase its stake in Tesla, but Morgan Stanley, along with several Jewish financial groups, locked up Tesla’s outstanding shares in advance, which increased our acquisition costs by $12 billion. Are these all misunderstandings?”

Blankfein's face grew even uglier; he hadn't expected Ye Feng to remember all these "trivial matters."

He swallowed hard, then spoke with some difficulty, his face as red as a monkey's bottom:

"Mr. Ye, this is how competition is in the business world. Goldman Sachs simply made a choice that was in the best interests of its shareholders."

"Shareholder interests?"

Ye Feng suddenly raised his voice and pointed at the big screen:

"So, did Morgan Stanley use insider information to short-sell Haitangguo also for the benefit of its shareholders? Or is this some kind of 'unspoken rule' of Jewish capitalism—that outsiders must be ostracized?" (End of Chapter)
