Winner Takes It All, Resurrection 2009
Chapter 576: Holding Your Hand and Doing Bad Things
The feud between Nokia and Microsoft, and between Hong Kong Capital and Qingyun Group is still going on. State-owned assets, led by Runhua Nandian, are vigorously expanding their business scope in Hong Kong with a proactive pioneering spirit.
On the surface, everyone is still maintaining the most basic peace, but secretly, including Daiying Capital, they are finding ways to fan the flames around the world in an attempt to lure out important figures from the Qingyun faction.
Winning business competition through the simplest and most brutal physical means has always been the most direct and effective method throughout history, when conventional means and the use of national power are unable to suppress the opponent.
It becomes very necessary to deal with the opponent himself. Dai Ying wants to persuade Ou Meng to impose sanctions on Qingyun. First of all, Germany and Finland will not agree. The two countries and Dongda are in the honeymoon period of economic cooperation, and the amount of economic and trade exchanges has expanded rapidly.
Dongda is a state-owned and private capital (mainly Qingyun), which holds a large amount of French and PIIGS state-owned bonds. Dongda is engaged in manufacturing, finance, agricultural product trade and industrial and trade enterprises.
Taking advantage of the favorable opportunity when the European debt crisis entered deep waters, this group of wealthy people from the East poured into Europe like a tide, waving their money to buy everything they can.
French red wine alone has won large contracts worth hundreds of millions of euros. Italian and Spanish companies have also made considerable gains. Even agricultural products from Denmark and the Netherlands are sold through e-commerce channels.
They are sold into the domestic market in a steady stream, and as if overnight, European goods have become the mainstream imported commodities in the Dongda market, ranging from high-end precision processing equipment to seafood, milk powder and daily chemical products.
In short, Dongda has tried hard to help Europe through its own actions to prevent it from being swept up by the squid capital. Dongda has even frequently established cooperation with companies such as France's Alstom and Germany's Siemens and signed big contracts.
Europe has the technology, Tokyo has the market, and Wall Street, controlled by Yutai Capital, is investing madly in the Tokyo market, heating up all industry assets it can touch.
Todai's actions are still within the scope allowed by the rules of the game. They are just on the line but not across it, because Europe's exports of technology and equipment to Todai are mostly stuck at the lower limit allowed by COCOM.
Occasionally, there are behaviors that cross the line, which also give enough benefits to American-controlled companies in related fields. The latter, constrained by the huge profits reaped from investing in Dongda, often choose to turn a blind eye.
Taking advantage of this special period in history that is most favorable for the economic development of Dongda, both state-owned capital and private enterprises are doing everything possible to enhance their strength.
However, in the field of finance and currency exchange, Squid Capital stepped up its lobbying and offensive. On the one hand, it put forward a large number of requirements to Yanjing to further open up the shareholding ratio requirements for foreign capital in domestic securities, insurance and other financial institutions.
On the one hand, pressure was put on financial institutions such as Qingyun and Zhongxin, requiring the latter to open up more areas for American capital to intervene and achieve profit sharing. At the same time, it also required that more management personnel in key positions be sent to directly participate in daily operations.
Through negotiation and competition, they constantly used small tricks in private to actively lobby senior management to change their minds, further weaken Hong Kong's financial position on a large scale, and force Lijiaopo to relax financial control restrictions.
Involving in the direct operation and management of Chinese stocks listed in the United States, under the guise of international joint trusteeship, competing for the free convertibility and settlement rights of RMB in the Lijiaopo financial market, so as to facilitate it at some point in the future.
Directly attack or sell off the RMB, impact the offshore exchange rate, reap the profits of Dongda and other international hot money, absorb excess profits, and incidentally turn Dongda’s complete domestic industrial chain into a part of economic globalization.
Its means of targeting Qingyun have not stopped. Companies such as Goldman Sachs, JPMorgan Chase, and Citigroup have been constantly eroding the share of Minsheng and Micropayment in Southeast Asia in the name of helping Qingyun actively promote its layout in Hong Kong.
There are always a few local Southeast Asian groups that cannot withstand the pressure, either under pressure from local government offices or due to business difficulties, and are forced to sell themselves to financial institutions controlled by Sita Capital.
Through a series of means, Squid Capital further penetrated into the internal business management of the group's overseas division and placed some private individuals. Fortunately, it has not yet involved the core areas, and Qingyun will never compromise easily.
However, it is difficult for Li Zehua and other investors to directly and firmly refuse, because the American capital entered the shareholder list of the overseas branch through legal acquisition, and as the business of the American branch grew.
The scale of economic exchanges between the two sides has increased. For the sake of the lovely green US dollars, no one will easily tear their faces apart. Besides, Qingyun actually has the upper hand in the confrontation.
Because in the process of cooperating with the strong, as long as the weak are not swallowed up temporarily, they can obtain benefits that they could not get before through technology, economic and trade exchanges.
At this point, the domestic industrial upgrading process has not yet been completed. Even if it is initially completed, it will take enough time to digest the technology, expand market share, and then make profits with the help of superior products.
After forming a positive economic cycle, further research and development and upgrading will enable the entire industrial chain to achieve leapfrog development, and perhaps it will take less than ten years to complete the counterattack on the Western market.
Dongda and Qingyun are not in a hurry. As long as they can spend money to buy it, they will try their best to negotiate cooperation even if the other party puts forward some relatively harsh conditions, in terms of mid-to-high-end manufacturing technology and equipment, and consumer market.
This is the core key and the only way to participate in future world economic and trade competition and gain advantages.
However, Dai Ying, the troublemaker, was very dissatisfied. The virtual currency trading platform jointly created by Dongda University and traditional American capital was cooperating with the gold spot which had reached its historical peak.
The largest source of funds for London's financial street was intercepted frantically in the secondary market. In the first ten months of 2011 alone, the funds that flowed into the London futures market through secret channels decreased by nearly % compared with the same period.
The underground forces in Southeast Asia, South America, West Asia, East Africa and other places are very disgusted with the greed and complexity of traditional channels. They prefer gold, a hard currency that can be expressed at any time, and even funds flowing into London and Lijiaopo.
They are harvesting local gold spot at a very fast speed. This group of people are so exaggerated that they go directly into the store to buy gold nuggets and bricks. In the end, they even don't let go of the investment gold bars and buy them in packages.
It moves around the world in the form of ant moving, and finally disappears outside the regulatory system. Perhaps the gold that has been bought will not see the light of day again until the day when it needs to be cashed.
The spot gold price has been rising steadily, and investors are enthusiastic. Taking advantage of this golden opportunity, Qingyun Group has set aside gold reserves for mortgage guarantee or as a bottom-of-the-line inventory.
It began to flow into the market in large quantities, most of which were sold in the form of Bitcoin gold coins. In the beginning, only underground forces would accept gold-bound virtual currency (double value, requiring extra money).
Later, some astute investors and foundations also got involved, thereby raising the actual transaction price of Bitcoin from US$1500 at the beginning of the year to nearly US$ at the end of the year.
However, soon, these investors who took over the physical Bitcoin gold coins will find that they will face huge book losses because the international gold price has broken through US$2200 per ounce.
The market has been trading sideways for nearly half a month. Every day when it opens, it is like a loom, with no special fluctuations at all. In corners that ordinary people cannot see, large institutions and funds are retreating.
However, the number of long orders accumulated before was too large, including gold bonds issued by banks. It will take some time to realize the profits. Moreover, turning from long to short is an art of operation.
It is certainly satisfying to violently smash the market, but you can make more money by boiling a frog in warm water. Yutai Capital and Dongda Capital have a tacit understanding in slowly reducing their positions and increasing the scale of their short positions.
In order to prevent the market from experiencing large fluctuations, central banks around the world are actively releasing positive news to attract international hot money and private investors, and public funds are entering the market to take over.
Only when there are enough opponents can the financial tycoons have enough food and drink.
Dai Ying was making money while having evil intentions. He encouraged Hong Kong capital to use physical means to solve manufacturing problems, and spent money to bribe Microsoft and contact Nokia, all in order to disintegrate the Qingyun Group.
This idea was even tacitly approved by Squid Capital, because they also found that Qingyun's expansion speed in the country seemed to be somewhat beyond expectations and they would not stop it.
Qingyun may become the biggest obstacle for Wall Street to use mobile Internet technology to harvest the global market. Both Dongda and Qingyun are well aware of this.
The former hopes to continue with a smooth transition, with the two sides maintaining a situation of fighting but not breaking up. Although the personal safety of Qingyun executives is threatened, at least it can be guaranteed in the country.
The only person who could make people take such a risk and do whatever it takes to kill him is Li Zehua.
As for the person involved, he is currently at the Shanghai headquarters, looking at the performance reports of Micropayment for the second and third quarters with a frown on his face.
It’s not that the performance was too bad, but that it was so good that even Li Zehua felt scared at one point.
"Boss, are you satisfied with the report submitted by the company?"
Xiao Chengdong rarely gets involved in the plans among the group's top management. He positions himself more as a perfect executor, just like when he followed Liu Zijie in a multinational company.
The other party was responsible for proposing strategies, and he was responsible for implementing them. This is still the case now. "I am satisfied, but is it too aggressive?"
Li Zehua was in a state of confusion. He had already tried his best to suppress the development of domestic Internet financial business and put forward a lot of annoying regulatory plans.
Not only did they do everything they could to push the issue forward, they also set up a trap to eliminate Tengda, which would take the other party at least three to five years to recover from. They also took the opportunity to push the top leaders to formulate more stringent and standardized industry rules.
But I never thought that the suction effect of micropayment and microwallet in China was really amazing. At the beginning, it was on par with Alipay and Tenpay, and it maintained a significant lead in rural areas.
As more and more e-commerce merchants and consumers come into contact with the guaranteed zero-risk financial products within payment software, they begin to transfer funds tentatively to avoid being deceived.
As the hesitation period and probation period end, Internet finance has higher interest rates, more convenient withdrawals, easier use, more intuitive returns, and more perfect services than banks during the same period.
As expected, it became very popular, with the net inflow of funds reaching as high as 10 billion yuan in one day at its peak. Fortunately, Weifuzhi and the five major state-owned banks had already signed a proxy holding agreement.
Otherwise, the mere withdrawal of cash from financial institutions into micropayments would cause a de facto bank run, which would be enough to send the financial system into a rage.
The second wave of dividends occurred recently because of the sudden collapse of Tenda’s payment channel, which led to a large number of users leaving the company. They even cancelled their QQ accounts.
Not to mention the remaining cash in the account. Since micropayment is based on WeChat, it can perfectly accept users who leave QQ, and naturally surpass payment insurance to take on larger cash flow.
Others would be ecstatic after seeing two consecutive booms, but Li Zehua saw a more terrifying hidden worry in the midst of prosperity.
"Xiao Xiao, you have given me a fatal problem!"
Li Zehua was really a little scared. He hesitated and said, "Thank you for letting me have a taste of what it feels like to have trillions of cash in my lifetime. It's really wonderful.
But this thing is fine wine and delicious food, no, it is simply the most wonderful thing in the world!
But when it reaches a certain level, it becomes a death warrant!
A private group with trillions of cash in its fund account, what does this mean? It is not an exaggeration to say that it is rich enough to rival a country!"
After that, he pulled the stunned Xiao Chengdong to the window, pointed at the vaguely visible patrol security team below, and said with a wry smile: "It has been uneasy recently, and the number of guards has increased three or four times.
But this is just an appearance. What is of real decisive significance is Yanjing and the Five Military Governors' Office. With them here, there will never be chaos here and no villain will be able to commit any evil deeds.
They will be easily suppressed in an instant by this extremely huge force.
What scares me the most is, who is the villain?
The right to judge is in the hands of others. Do you think that the company, which holds such a large sum of money, is qualified to be the target of calculation?"
Xiao Chengdong was silent for a moment, and whispered: "Next, I will try my best to control the scale of funds."
"It's late, but who would complain about having too much money?"
Li Zehua shook his head and said, "No wonder Hong Kong is like a sick person and doesn't play by the rules at all. It turns out they are attracted by these things!
That’s right, Tenda is one of the three giants, and the deposited funds in the payment software have long been exposed to their sight, so now they don’t even need to send people to investigate.
A simple estimate of the user scale between the two companies can give a rough estimate of the range of funds raised. If I were in their shoes, I would not be indifferent to the trillions of dollars.
Especially if it is in the hands of my competitors, they will try every possible means to snatch it, and if they cannot get it, they must destroy it.
Fortunately, the relationship between the group and Yanjing has always been good, otherwise this one point alone would be enough. Since ancient times, it has been a crime to possess a treasure. Throughout history, how many wealthy people have been guilty of possessing too much wealth.
Being not tolerated by those above is not just the jealousy or greed of a few individuals, but anyone sitting in that position will not allow a huge resource group beyond their control to exist alone.
To leave it alone or turn a blind eye would be irresponsible to the entire upper class group. It has only been less than half a year since the relaxation of the law, and trillions of dollars have accumulated already. If there is no restriction anymore,
In the future, 10 trillion or even more, how powerful will the social resources it represents and can mobilize be? Even I dare not easily imagine that kind of power. "
When Li Zehua thought of the horrific consequences, he couldn't help but feel a chill rising from his heart. He immediately called Zhang Tao over and said, "Arrange it immediately. I want to go to Beijing immediately."
Then he said to Xiao Chengdong: "Issue a gag order to all the people below. The size of Weiqianbao's own fund and the number of participants are not allowed to be disclosed to any media.
At the same time, we will send a message to all media outlets to remove all sensitive figures. If anyone dares to speak nonsense, don’t blame the group for taking ruthless action.”
Xiao Chengdong nodded quickly. Fortunately, Weifuli had not yet released the data to the public, otherwise the entire Internet would be in an uproar.
Because in addition to proprietary funds, there are also funds, wealth management products, insurance protection issued by other financial institutions, and micro-payments relying on Ant Financial, Minsheng Financial, and Star City Bank.
In fact, it took less than half a year to catch up with three of the five major state-owned banks, if the data released by everyone is true.
Micropayment has in fact become the third largest financial enterprise in the country by net assets. If it is not controlled, perhaps after the New Year, the world's largest bank will be brought down.
If it continues to develop in this way, the Qingyun Group may one day compete with the companies controlled by the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission in terms of net asset size.
Just under Qingyun Real Estate, the total assets exceed one trillion RMB, infinitely close to two trillion, with more than one million commercial residential houses and shops in first-tier cities, which one is not worth more than one million?
Although the interest and principal of bank loans and financing products are very high, the skyrocketing prices of real estate projects across the country in the past two years have allowed Qingyun Real Estate's net assets to exceed 400 billion for the first time.
These are problems that need to be solved urgently. Once any unexpected internal allocation occurs, it will cause huge trouble.
"Extraordinary times call for extraordinary measures, and many plans must be made in advance. The allocation model is in my mind, so it shouldn't be a big problem.
But if you want to get through the danger safely and get out of it unscathed, you may have to resort to some special means.
The people of Hong Kong might be a very good breakthrough point. Haven’t they always wanted to kill me?
Sure, I dare to give it to you, do you dare to take it?"
After everyone left, Zhang Tao turned on the anti-eavesdropping equipment in the office as he instructed, and at the same time arranged for trusted personnel to guard the door to prevent anyone from physically eavesdropping.
Li Zehua had made up his mind and no longer hesitated, "Can those people who are following us be controlled?
Whether it is fanning the flames or directing and acting by oneself, it doesn't matter even if people can see obvious traces of design, anyway, let them move, don't just monitor every day..."
Zhang Tao just listened quietly until Li Zehua said, "When necessary, private planes can fall down and bulletproof cars can fly into the sky. We should give full play to our subjective initiative.
"You have to go even if there are difficulties. You have to go even if there are no difficulties. Do you understand?"
"Sir, the modification of that Boeing aircraft has not been completed yet, so the commercial insurance is purchased from our own Great Eastern Insurance Company."
Zhang Tao tried to dispel his crazy idea. How much does a plane cost?
If this were to happen, Jiang Yi would probably have to fly over from Star City and beat them to death himself. Oh, he might not dare to take a plane, because his boss's private plane would probably fall asleep right away... (End of this chapter)
