Winner Takes It All, Resurrection 2009
Chapter 533: Subtracting from the Competitors
No one can resist in the face of interests.
Especially when the real benefits reach tens of millions or hundreds of millions, anyone will go crazy for it, even Zhang Tianming who owns a firm with an annual revenue of over 100 million.
Zhou Wanhao, who was targeted by him, was still dizzy. He really couldn't understand why a mere small figure like him would be valued so much by the group.
How could a relatively unknown person like me, a rookie, surpass many major international law firms and become the special assistant who actually led the intellectual property negotiations?
He looked at President Yu who was looking at him with admiration on the podium, and then at Zhang Tianming who seemed to wish he could swallow him up, and he felt numb all over.
He really wanted to ask loudly, who is it?
He should have stood up and admitted it. Now he is in a dilemma of neither refusing nor agreeing. If he really has a backer, of course he wants to get rich overnight.
But he knew it clearly, it really didn't happen!
His father's identity ensures that he will live a safe and wealthy life, and be a happy ordinary person, but it is impossible for him to go any further, after all, the law firm requires connections, friendships, professional skills, and reputation.
He does not have the necessary communication channels required by the Judicial Committee, a necessary condition that can influence the final judgment. Why would Qingyun Group, such a large multinational company, value him?
He was very confused. Facing the generally questioning looks from the industry leaders, he stood up with gritted teeth and didn't utter a word for a long time.
"As you can see, even Lawyer Zhou himself feels that he cannot take on the responsibility. It's not me who said that."
Zhang Tianming struck while the iron was hot and further provoked everyone's nerves, "Please Mr. Yu and your company carefully consider this, after all, it involves negotiations with multiple multinational companies and the drafting of every legal clause.
Audits should be rigorous and meticulous..."
He tried to prove the fundamental reasons why Zhou Wanhao was not competent in terms of professionalism and qualifications.
Unfortunately, at any other time, what he said might have shaken the group's decision, but what Li Zehua needed at this moment was trust first, and he had to deal with more business that could not be seen in the light.
Nothing is more reliable and reassuring than the acquaintances you met in the original time and space.
He would not promise anyone a lifetime of wealth and prosperity casually, as that would be the most irresponsible way to destroy a person, because getting something for nothing is really addictive.
Yu Li knew some of the inside information that Li Zehua wanted her to know, and Wang Jianming knew it too, but he didn't say it. He was waiting for the reaction from the top management of Qingyun Group.
"When will it be your turn to make decisions about the group?"
However, before Li Li could speak, the sound of the conference room door opening was heard. However, the person who spoke was not Li Zehua himself, but his senior security assistant Zhang Tao.
He just acts like a mute around Li Zehua. He never has a good temper when facing the people below him, especially those who stand on the opposite side of the group.
The moment he pushed the door open, he found Zhou Wanhao and walked up to him and said, "Please follow me. The gentleman wants to see you."
After saying this, he glanced around the venue, and no one dared to look him in the eye.
When he led his people past the rostrum, he nodded to Li and others, and then took the confused Zhou Wanhao away from the venue.
"Mr. Zhang, since you have questioned the company's decision in public and have not produced convincing evidence, please leave now. Our company will send a letter to you and ask you to make a reasonable explanation for everything that happened today."
Facing Li's questioning, Zhang Tianming acted distraught, and the people around him wanted to stay away from him for fear of being implicated by him.
"He was so arrogant. He dared to question the newcomer promoted by the group, especially someone who was registered with the chairman. Now he is stupid."
"Hehe, Zhang Tianming's law firm has withdrawn, and there is one less competitor. That's great."
Everyone who has worked with Qingyun knows that Boss Qingyun has a keen eye. At least he has never failed since he started his business.
No matter whether it is the projects he advocated or the people he promoted, there have been no major mistakes so far. In fact, without exception, all of them have been a great success.
When facing a successful person who has always been on the right path, just having doubts is extremely dangerous, let alone Zhang Tianming publicly questioning in public.
Now the consequences have come. Even if he is the founder of a law firm, he will not be able to escape being put on ice by the collective decision after he returns. Even more seriously, being fired would not be an exaggeration.
Because no one dares to go against their biggest financial backer.
Yu Li didn't even look at him and continued, "Let's continue the meeting."
……
Zhou Wanhao didn't know how he left the venue. He followed Zhang Tao stupidly through the heavily guarded corridor. Everything he saw and heard along the way was nothing but looking up and trying to please him.
It was not until he walked into the room that Zhang Tao was not willing to enter easily that he became really nervous.
A multi-billionaire, a big shot who relies on the livelihood of millions of employees, can be seen on TV or the Internet, and anyone can make a few comments at will.
But when someone really walks up to you in real life and you feel the aura emanating from his or her every move, even if he or she appears to be amiable and approachable.
But when you think about the huge resources in the other party's hands, whether it is money or status, which are all luxuries that you have always dreamed of but cannot obtain, you can't help but feel at a loss as to what to do.
Because of asking for something, I lost my composure.
Zhou Wanhao is also an ordinary person with seven emotions and six desires, so he will panic.
"sit."
"Tea, please."
Li Zehua is no longer the loser who was heavily in debt and worried all day long as he was when he had just been reborn, or before his rebirth, but a successful and famous figure in the eyes of thousands of people.
His mentality changed unconsciously. Facing the people who generously helped him through the most difficult times in his previous life, although he wanted to take care of them, he would not show any flaws on the surface.
He had even taken care of the reasons for the care more than a year ago through some small means.
"Why, do you feel weird?"
Zhou Wanhao finally reacted, "No, no, no, it's the first time I've met the chairman in person, and I'm overjoyed."
"It seems like working in a law firm is quite challenging. You didn't talk like that before."
Li Zehua smiled and said, "I know you have a lot of questions in your mind, but wouldn't it be more interesting to listen to me first and then reveal the answers in the end?"
Zhou Wanhao looked at him nervously, then quickly lowered his head and said nothing.
"You studied abroad in Europe, so you have some understanding of the local area. Plus, you studied law, which is great..."
Li Zehua didn't care about his attitude, because in this world, as long as there is desire, there is the possibility of cooperation, and no one will refuse benefits that come to them.
A person who dares to venture into the futures market while studying abroad is born with a heart that pursues financial freedom.
So when he clearly stated the price and conditions, Zhou Wanhao's first reaction was not to refuse, but to be confused. He finally couldn't help but said, "Chairman, I don't understand.
The group has so many outstanding talents who are familiar with legal work. Both President Fang and Director Wang Jianming are better than me.
It seems that this plan, no matter how you look at it, will never fall on me.”
The special assistant in charge of the group's intellectual property negotiations, this identity alone would make the domestic legal community rack their brains to compete for it. Which big boss doesn't have children or grandchildren to take care of?
Not to mention that this position can bring him closer to Li Zehua, just the experience he has in presiding over negotiations worth hundreds of billions of dollars will allow him to get a top position in any major law firm in the world in the future.
So he couldn't understand why a pie in the sky could fall on his head.
"Don't be impatient. The mystery will lose its meaning once the answer is revealed."
Li Zehua laughed and asked, "You have been in Europe for so long. Have you studied the economic development there? Tell me about it."
Zhou Wanhao couldn't understand his thoughts, but that didn't stop him from gradually recovering. He was a lawyer who was keen on futures trading, and his law firm was involved in intellectual property disputes between large companies.
How could he know nothing about the economy? He tried his best to select the economic industry analysis that he could get accurate, and finally concluded uncertainly, "The European debt crisis may get out of control.
The price of gold may continue to soar, and there will be more investment opportunities in China..."
Ordinary people can roughly analyze these, but if anyone invests according to this, it is unclear whether they will make money or not, and the probability is that they will lose everything.
Because big capital is manipulating the entire market.
For example, Li Zehua's gold business has contributed more than US$160 billion in protection fees to more than 40 mainstream banks in the world in the form of debt contract default bonds.
In November 2010, the whole world knew that gold prices would rise, but ordinary people who entered the gold futures market often lost everything. Why?
Because of the inherent leverage operation, the risk is extremely high. No matter how many times you guess right, it is useless if you are not sure, because you can win 99 times, as long as you do not leave the market, there will be a time when your full position operation will be blown up.
The huge amount of funds calculated in trillions will not even give you the opportunity to close your position and leave the market. A drop of more than ten dollars in a few minutes can cause a large group of people to go bankrupt.
Don't think about resisting, because people know your chips very well. Before clearing out most of the retail investors, big funds will never easily push up the price.
It can tolerate you following the trend to make a little money, but it will not let you make big profits. The best way for ordinary people is to participate with an extremely safe capital allocation after following the right trend.
After making money, leave quickly.
For example, if your annual income is 10, then try to control the annual income from financial management within . Any more is purely luck and the income is beyond your cognition.
No matter how much you have, you may not be able to keep it. Maybe it will be lost just the way it came.
Qingyun Group can make money, on the one hand, because the power behind it is very strong. Even Goldman Sachs dare not easily set up a scheme. With the support of more than a hundred large banks behind it, no one dares to play tricks.
In addition, Qingyun is trading options in its own territory, such as China and Southeast Asia, and the money earned is divided equally among many companies. In China, Meizhuang and top capital from Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai also participate.
To put it bluntly, everyone works together to reap the profits of retail investors and small and medium-sized hot money, and in the meantime eat up the short-sighted international hot money. The other side is not strong, so it is easy to swallow.
Zhou Wanhao was very confused. What was the point of the other party saying this to him?
show off?
Not so much.
share?
It’s even more unnecessary!
He is just a small person.
As if seeing his doubts, Li Zehua continued: "Are you interested in joining this circle?"
These words were said in a decisive tone, and it didn't seem like a question but an affirmative one. Zhou Wanhao was confident that he had heard correctly, and he became even more confused.
What a joke, a billionaire is inviting himself to share the feast of wealth?
He swallowed hard, "What should I do?"
"You are a talented person, so I can explain some things to you clearly."
Li Zehua no longer concealed, "This world is essentially a world where the strong prey on the weak. No matter how high-sounding our words are, we cannot escape the fact that fighting for resources essentially relies on fists.
The group seems to be very powerful today, but there are only a few paths it can take in the future. Either it exploits employees and consumers internally, or it uses excess profits to win over interest allies.
Ensure that the group's position is not shaken.
However, I am not interested in this option. After all, I am still young and can try my best, so I plan to try external expansion and rely on the growing national strength of the University of Tokyo.
To actively participate in international competition, but you know, this road is destined to be difficult, because others have already started hundreds of years ahead, no matter which industry we are involved in.
There are powerful competitors blocking the way ahead, so it is difficult to surpass our competitors by just relying on our own hard work and adding value to the group.
One day, you may be knocked to the ground and lose the power to allocate the resources you have already controlled, whether it is share penetration or control of life.
The group is inevitably subject to external influences. In serious cases, even I cannot protect myself.
Everyone comes out to make their lives better, and I am no exception. Since addition is difficult to succeed, why not do subtraction at the same time? "
Zhou Wanhao had a vague idea of what was going on, but he still wanted to confirm it again, "Subtraction?"
"Yes, hold back the competitors and make them fall off the track without anyone noticing."
Li Zehua kept smiling, "How about it, are you interested in coming to help me?"
Zhou Wanhao was really shocked, because any so-called competitor in front of him could easily crush him with just a little finger.
But faced with the temptation of success, he hesitated again, "What can I do? Why choose me?"
“Even a piece of toilet paper has its uses, not to mention a senior talent who is proficient in law. You don’t have to underestimate yourself, even if you don’t have a group.
In the future, you will be able to make a name for yourself in the industry, but your career will be limited to the ceiling of ordinary people, that is, the middle class who have no worries about food and drink and have seven figures of spare money.
It’s hard to go any higher because you don’t have a circle.”
Li Zehua casually threw out a document, which recorded Zhou Wanhao's experiences from childhood to adulthood, as well as their family's interpersonal relationships. In short, it contained all the information about his life.
Everything, no matter how big or small, was listed there. It was so detailed that Zhou Wanhao couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat after just reading it for a while.
Especially the deficit in his account at the Hong Kong Securities Company. How could this be known to outsiders?
“I’m curious how the company knew that?”
Li Zehua tapped the table, and the rhythmic sound touched Zhou Wanhao's mind, "As long as I want, there is nothing in this world that can be hidden from me!
However, your courage has impressed me again. Although I don't know what means you used to evade the review of the securities company, I can be sure that they will be very interested in this matter.
$16 is not too much, but not too little either. Strictly speaking, you are committing a crime.”
Zhou Wanhao was silent. When he looked into his eyes again, he finally understood a little, "It's you?"
"You're half right. This securities company is indeed a cooperative partner of our company, and the bank you borrowed money from is also a long-term partner of our company."
Li Zehua casually explained: "I wouldn't lie to you, but didn't you say that you would try to control the scale of investment and not get carried away? How come you ended up with a debt of hundreds of thousands of dollars?"
Zhou Wanhao smiled bitterly and said, "Wait, I think I've only told a few people about this matter. It's impossible for a small person like me to be monitored in real time?"
"Who has nothing to do with monitoring your computer?"
Li Zehua said angrily: "Look at WeChat, you told me that yourself!"
"puff."
Zhou Wanhao was really stunned. He stupidly took out his mobile phone, looked at the familiar interface, clicked on the message, and was unable to come back to his senses for a long time.
"Why, are you surprised?"
Li Zehua finally couldn't help laughing, "We've been chatting about investment experiences for more than a year, and you don't recognize me anymore?"
"No, this is too outrageous. Just because I attended a securities company promotion meeting, I was able to meet a big shot like you. Do you have nothing better to do than to listen to my bragging?"
Zhou Wanhao felt that his brain was not enough.
But what he didn't expect was that in the original time and space, the way they met was even more outrageous. Just because of a game friendship, he lent each other as much as 200 million without ever meeting each other.
Even if it happened again, Li Zehua still felt like a dream. If he had not experienced it himself, he would have thought it was a joke.
Without giving the other party time to digest it, he quickly said, "Don't be suspicious, it just happened that way. More than a year is enough for me to figure out who you are.
How about it, are you interested in playing a big one?
A debt of hundreds of thousands of dollars is nothing to you now, not to mention that after you promise me, hundreds of billions of dollars will be just a number. "
Zhou Wanhao no longer hesitated, "You say."
"I won't harm you. As long as you try to go abroad less often in the future, it shouldn't be a problem."
Li Zehua did not hide anything and chose to speak out: "But I have made a promise beforehand. You can regret it now, but if you think about leaving after you are on the boat, someone may die."
The desire for wealth drove Zhou Wanhao to ignore the risks. Moreover, knowing such a friend would bring him obvious help in the future, and his inner ambition rose accordingly.
After getting a definite answer, Li Zehua finally said the opportunity, "...the key point of the plan is to continuously acquire and create an impeccable skin on the surface.
Enter their supply chain through normal business means, drive in and hide like a nail, and then play a role at the critical moment. But don't move without my order.
As for recommending talents and collecting information, others will be responsible for those.
As for forming a deception group targeting the United States in Eastern Europe and India, it is just a side task..."
Zhou Wanhao was stunned when he heard this. He really couldn't understand why the other party was so bold to take action against an entire country, or even a giant consortium that was superior to the United States.
However, his unwillingness in his heart urged him to keep going forward. Li Zehua was very good at judging people, and he himself was a person who liked to seek excitement... (End of this chapter)
