Chapter 592: Reversing the Dollar Tide Harvest

"What do you think?"

Many actual controllers of capital groups in Nanyang have their own luxury homes in Hong Kong, and Li Yilong, Huang Yizong, Li Yuqing and others are no exception.

When they returned to his villa, Li Yillong personally poured wine for the two of them and sat down to chat with them.

Li Yuqing knows Qingyun best because his son, using the alias Jiang Yi, serves as the chairman of Qingyun Great Eastern Insurance in China, and the two sides have had a lot of contact.

Qingyun Great Eastern Insurance has now become an indispensable profit channel within the Qingyun system. Any business may be bundled with it, creating the competitive advantage of the industrial production chain promised by Li Zehua.

It is gradually being transformed into a real advantage.

"I think Qingyun and Yanjing's plan has a great chance of success."

Li Yuqing said without hesitation: "The one who left Temasek is a great talent. I heard that he helped the finance department and actively improved the currency issuance system.

He also creatively proposed a new plan to counter the dollar tide. It is not yet certain whether it came from Mr. Li or he creatively proposed it.

But one thing is certain, as a direct promoter, he must have played a huge role in it.”

Immediately afterwards, Li Yuqing briefly explained the so-called anti-dollar tide harvesting plan.

To put it simply, the Federal Reserve, which is controlled by Squidward Capital, has been adept at using the dollar's interest rate hikes to reap the world in the past, present, and future, relying on the dollar's world hegemony.

It will take a year or even half a year to increase the interest of the US dollar to more than 4-5%. With the strong national power of the United States as a credit guarantee, the world's mainstream capital is driven by interests.

It will quickly prompt the dollar to flow back to the United States, because the annual net profit of investing in traditional industries is roughly this income. Instead of investing hard and risking the loss of principal, it is better to work hard.

It is better to deposit the money in the bank and reap the benefits without any worries.

In the original time and space, this is what the Federal Reserve did, and Dongda also launched a plan to harvest against the dollar tide. This led to Squid Capital turning against it and not hesitating to let the bank under its name go bankrupt.

To forcibly reap Dongda Capital, this practice of tearing its face and completely trampling on the rules has to some extent exposed the weak nature of Squid Capital, which is helpless and forced to do desperate things.

But it is enough to prove the brilliance of this plan. Even the Federal Reserve and Squid Capital can only fight back by turning the table over, which is ridiculous considering the level of their understanding of the rules of the game.

Squid Capital is not even qualified to carry shoes for a great Eastern country with a 5,000-year history of civilization.

The rules have really been made clear to the University of Tokyo.

Didn’t the Federal Reserve accelerate the return of global dollars by suddenly raising interest rates, causing a dollar shortage in various countries?

Then the University of Tokyo will use the US dollar cash obtained from the trade surplus to lend it to countries that lack US dollars to help them tide over the difficulties.

The reason why countries that lack US dollars are being harvested is entirely because, except for a very small number of countries such as the University of Tokyo, they have the ability to formulate foreign exchange control laws and restrict the free convertibility of foreign exchange.

Other small and medium-sized countries do not have the strength to support this kind of gameplay. Free convertibility means opening the door without any defense, while restricted convertibility means no foreign capital is willing to enter at all.

In the process of economic development, developing step by step is doomed to fail to gain competitive advantage, and fail to attract enough foreign investment to promote economic development.

All countries have increased their economic investment leverage accordingly. They often dare to invest 1 times the equivalent amount of their own currency into the production process for every US dollar of foreign exchange they obtain, striving to complete the original capital accumulation as quickly as possible and resist external risks.

Then use the exported goods, raw materials, and industrial semi-finished products to exchange for US dollars to repay the maturing US dollar debt (foreign exchange investment itself is also a type of loan). In theory, the country borrows money for development and relies on its own cheap labor and resources.

If you save for a few years or even more than ten years, even with high interest, citizens who are willing to work hard can still live a good life.

But Squid Capital won’t do that. If everyone can get rich through hard work, then where will the excess profits that Squid Capital wants come from?
Hence the harvesting method of lending dollars to earn interest in one's spare time, and then using the dollar interest rate hike to force the world into bankruptcy after the target country has accumulated enough surplus value from labor.

Once the US dollar interest rate increases, there will be a dollar shortage in most parts of the world except the United States, which will force countries to seek capital assistance with US dollar currency.

Who has the most dollars?
Of course it’s the Federal Reserve!
The target countries are targeted because when foreign capital enters, they sign so-called investment loan agreements (borrowing US dollars and repaying US dollars, the actual investment of US dollars in the foreign exchange settlement system gives investors their own currency).

The corresponding US dollars need to be repaid upon maturity, but the country’s foreign exchange reserves are all flowing back to the United States due to the US dollar interest rate hike. What should we do if we have no money?
You can only let others slaughter you!

Want to resist?
There is no way. Not to mention whether the mold agrees or not, other comprador investors in the country do not agree. The government is playing rogue, and the capitalists below will be the first to panic.

If the country does not agree to the harsh conditions of the Federal Reserve and Squid Capital and cannot obtain enough US dollars to repay its debts, a de facto default will occur, and foreign capital and comprador groups will frantically sell assets and short sell in the market.

Due to the lack of credit guarantee (lack of US dollars), the stock market, bond market and foreign exchange market will inevitably collapse, causing a crazy depreciation of the domestic currency, a sharp drop in core assets, and severe inflation.

Then it is natural for a new government official to come to power, but the problem still exists. At this time, whether it is to protect the national economy or to stabilize its own status.

The new government will inevitably choose to compromise in exchange for Squid Capital to stop attacking, and sit back and watch the other side waving dollars to buy at ultra-low prices, and then wait until the asset level returns to stability.

Squid Capital sold the shares and converted them into US dollars to cash out. The difference in price is the value being harvested, and the target country has to continue to absorb foreign investment for economic development.

(Without attracting foreign investment, it is impossible to enter the world's major consumer markets. Sharing benefits is not just empty talk. The stepping stone is to introduce foreign investment and allow core assets to be controlled and influenced.)
This leads to an even worse vicious cycle. With each harvest, the country loses control of some of its core assets, while ordinary assets will fluctuate violently again and again in the tide of the US dollar.

Squid Capital accurately grasps every ups and downs (they manipulate the insider operations and know when the market starts and ends), buys low and sells high, and continuously makes excess profits.

Over time, most of the core assets of the target country have been controlled by U.S. capital. At this point, public opinion and financial power have fallen into the hands of U.S. capital, and the manufacturing and service industries are also controlled by U.S. capital.

It was almost defenseless in the future. At this stage, American capital began to clean up the local comprador groups, because they had no use for these traitors and they all took over their own backyard.

Come when you want, leave when you want, and still worry about inconvenience in harvesting profits?
The laws of the country and the basis for the existence of government agencies are all controlled by American capital, supervision is in name only, and the country has completely become an economic colony of American capital.

This is the fundamental reason why the Squid Capital is getting stronger and stronger. Even if it encounters a few small and medium-sized countries that insist on confrontation along the way, it is not afraid, because the mold will use its fists to tell the other party.

Who is the real boss of this world?

The dollar plus mold can solve almost 99% of the world's troubles.

But until they encountered the unreasonable outlier Dongda, they realized that it was first of all a huge entity with the entire industrial chain that capital dreams of and sufficient cheap labor.

It is also a super large market in itself. Squid Capital has been trying hard to enter and reap the benefits. After long and arduous negotiations, it did not get the chips it wanted.

Some American capital, eager to make money (reduce costs), took the lead in breaking the ice in investment, and then used cheap labor to gain a competitive advantage, forcing other capital to enter the market one after another.

This is a natural advantage of a superpower, which is difficult for Squid Capital to swallow in one gulp, and the hidden dangers left behind are now beginning to backfire.

Because of the special closed market of the University of International Business and Economics, it is impossible to realize free convertibility of foreign exchange (private conversion through multiple channels is another matter). If American capital wants to impact the exchange rate, it is doomed to fail.

Without affecting its internal economic operations, Todai can diversify its investments with excess dollars, secretly control core resources, and further expand its influence.

Of course, Squid Capital also discovered this, so they supported Dongda in cleaning up the Hong Kong market. They supported Lijiaopo to become a new financial center just to pull the main battlefield out.

They took them to Lijiaopo where Dongda could not take the initiative, and then cut off their retreat in an attempt to capture them all in one fell swoop.

For a national strategy of this level, Qingyun simply analyzed it in advance, and then got involved at the right time at the critical moment, reaping a wave of dividends by the way.

The University of Tokyo is no pushover either. Since it dared to take this step, it must have secretly received support from Europe, Chicken Bowl, Big Cat Capital, and the remaining rebels in these countries.

They want to guide the growing Dongda University to break the monopoly of Sita Capital and seize greater voice.

The rise of Qingyun and Li Zehua's absolute personal dominance within the group have given Dongda a historic opportunity, which is to use Qingyun's core domestic capital as collateral in exchange for the US dollar assets accumulated from the trade surplus for overseas investment. Aren't small and medium-sized countries being harvested in the tide of the US dollar?
Okay, you are short of dollars, but I am not. Instead, I have too many dollars and they are controlled by Wall Street. Well, I will lend you dollars and you pay back the debt.

In this way, the three or four trillion US dollars in the hands of the University of Tokyo have an outlet for venting, and they don't have to hold them in their hands and worry about them.

With US dollars, small and medium-sized countries can both repay their debts and develop their own economies. Domestic capitalists are also happy because they finally don't have to bear the burden of being harvested by the US dollar tide for three to four years.

If there is a stable external environment, I believe that most countries and regions will be able to live a good life, but America's bad days are coming. This is a battle of principles.

Never die.

How can a financial empire with no core industries and hollowed-out industries continue to maintain its high level of development without a regular and stable source of revenue?

Moreover, in its proposal to Yanjing, Qingyun also creatively started a model of borrowing US dollars and repaying RMB. In this way, if you take the US dollars from Dongda, you have to do business with Dongda.

Dongda Capital is allowed to invest in RMB, otherwise where will the RMB come from to repay the loan when it matures?
This move by Qingyun is a blatant (not a typo, that is a sensitive word) conspiracy. Dongda Capital wants to go abroad, actively invest in the world, and seize the right to speak.

But there are people who get rich through hard work and with their own hands, and there are also people who lie down and do not make any progress. There are always some countries and regions that want to get something for nothing and want to reduce or forgive their debts when they are due.

Or they simply refuse to pay back the debt, as if to say, "If you force me, I will surrender to America."

It’s okay if it happens less frequently.

The number of such incidents has increased, the losses have been huge, and there is a fear that more countries will follow suit, which would force the University of Tokyo to develop its military industry, expand its armaments, and use force to collect debts at all costs.

A military force that fights to safeguard the core interests of the University of Tokyo, in turn, requires huge overseas revenues to maintain its existence. At this time, Qingyun's importance is infinitely elevated.

First of all, it is the most core and staunch supporter of Dongda Capital's outward expansion. No matter who is in power, no one will try to defeat Qingyun Group. At most, they will carry out a certain degree of splitting.

It cannot be dismantled too much, otherwise Qingyun’s strength will be severely damaged and it will not be able to provide much support to Yanjing.

A business empire that is too big to fail is the core interest of Li Zehua's supporters. If they want to die together with the country, Li Zehua will not refuse.

Because before the goal is achieved, the interests of the three parties are highly consistent. As for how to distribute the benefits after success, that is too long a process and it will be difficult to determine the winner without 20 to 30 years.

Li Zehua's goal is to choose a good place in the future, such as Australia or New Zealand to settle down. If the outcome is not so good, he will settle down somewhere in Africa or South America.

There will be no shortage of wealth, influence will still be there, life security will be guaranteed, a wife and children will be there, your words will have power, and most of the world's core resources will account for a small share.

Isn't that perfect?

Unfortunately, the strength of the University of East China is not strong enough at this stage, because after the merger of the two Hans, Hans was the world's largest trade surplus country for thirty years before 20 years.

This is also the fundamental reason why America fears the HansCat Alliance. This guy's industrial strength is too strong. Even during America's heyday, it was difficult to compete with it.

After the merger of the two Hanses, with the support of cheap energy from cats and Ou Meng's support outside, Gaul used them as foreign aid. If there are no restrictions, how can American capital exist in the world in the future?
At their peak, the U.S. dollar and the euro accounted for a similar proportion in the global trade settlement system. It is no wonder that American capital is trying its best to suppress Hans Cat.

But the result?

The whole world saw that Hans fell and the University of Tokyo was well fed. Since 15 (actually starting from ), the University of Tokyo has had an annual trade surplus of several hundred billion US dollars.

But what is amazing is that according to the propaganda of the University of Tokyo, foreign exchange reserves not only did not increase, but instead magically decreased.

The reason behind this is that the University of Tokyo used its excess US dollars to invest in small and medium-sized countries. It has been investing wildly overseas for ten consecutive years since 15, purchasing core minerals, energy, and raw materials for strategic reserves.

By the time Li Zehua was reborn, Tokyo University had become the world's second largest foreign investor, with total overseas assets exceeding 10 trillion US dollars, and had become the largest creditor of most countries in the world.

American capital was completely confused. Did they try so hard to attack Ou Meng, but in the end, they made things difficult for the University of Tokyo?

This is the evil consequence of eating alone. There will always be countless enemies. Suppress one, and another will rise up. Suppress one and another will come, from Britain, France, and Germany, to Big Cat, Chicken Foot Basin, and then to Hans and Todai.

It seems that American Squid Capital has been fighting non-stop since the day it was born, and the aggressiveness of this capital group is ingrained in its bones.

In this life, Dongda started its overseas win-win cooperation strategy four years earlier than in the original time and space, in order to prevent touching the bottom line of Yutai Capital and prevent the core conflict from breaking out in advance.

Yanjing selected Zhongxin, Runhua, Nandian (plus State Grid), and Qingyun as four core groups as pioneers to explore overseas expansion and verify the feasibility of this strategy.

Lijiaopo is the first test battlefield. The risk is that Dongda’s hard power is not strong enough at the moment. If something goes wrong, it can only rely on the protection of the 1500 legally armed personnel promised by Lijiaopo.

If these few people really start fighting, they won't even be enough to fill the gaps between the mold's teeth.

But Li Zehua was full of confidence. If there were only 1,500 armed security guards, after a round of seaweed egg drop soup, there would be no vegetables, no eggs, and no soup. I'm afraid they would be finished on the spot.

But what if half of these 1,500 people are drone and robot dog operating engineers?
An unmanned aerial vehicle and unmanned combat dog system that uses the new Beidou navigation system, enhanced by big data core algorithms, and has made major breakthroughs in battery life, energy, materials, mechanical operations, and robot control systems.

When the fight starts, a swarm of drones carrying Family Happy Eggs covers the sky, and everyone dances happily on the spot. How will the opponent respond?

Not to mention that in this life, Qingyun Group used Internet finance to raise massive wealth, focusing on tapping Eastern European materials, engines, radars, engineers and scientists in the electronics field.

Not only did it make up for domestic shortcomings three or four years ahead of schedule, it also provided scientific research support in the aerospace field. The early layout of the Beidou commercial navigation system alone generated hundreds of billions of yuan in revenue for the country every year.

Economic benefits are secondary. The most important thing is that with the rapid improvement of the global positioning system, the soft power of Southeast University has been rapidly improved, and there is no need to worry about the GPS being shut down during a war.

Qingyun predicted in advance that the future development of the global economy would create a huge demand for ocean transportation. Qingyun was rich, and Li Zehua was able to go against the majority and act on his own.

He can spend his own money however he wants, and with the support of Qingyun Big Data, Minsheng Financial Holdings can intervene in the credit field of small and medium-sized businesses and self-employed individuals in advance, earning excess profits that are unimaginable to ordinary people.

With money, he can make targeted investments according to his own predictions without restraint.

With the help of the cooperative relationship with COSCO Shipping and China Merchants Energy Shipping, it placed orders for hundreds of supertankers, container freight ships and natural gas tankers to various shipbuilding industries in Dongda at one time.

They also specifically requested the construction of a new shipyard. Isn't this asking too much? At the beginning, all the major shipyards almost jumped up and cursed, but when they saw the real money Qingyun was throwing out.

Seeing that the other party still had a large number of follow-up orders in hand, the shipyard decisively gave in.

He is rich and willful, and he can do whatever he wants.

Anyway, the expansion of the dock would take at least two or three years (normal economic behavior), and in a blink of an eye it was already 2013/14, plus the construction time, so it was not launched until 2016/17.

There is still enough time, and Qingyun occasionally gives a few small orders, hanging around the shipyard for two or three billion, forcing the latter to take the initiative to build a larger dock.

The market scolded Qingyun for being a spendthrift with money, but only Yanjing and the Five Military Commandery knew that Qingyun was spending money to buy peace and pave the way for the future of the navy.

The docks are expanded, industrial workers are fully trained, technology is introduced quickly, and breakthroughs are made. Once changes are detected, they can be immediately transformed into a large-scale dumpling-making state.

And fully trained and mature sailors?

Do you think the ships that Qingyun has built will be overstaffed?

Li Zehua's plans have always been one thing after another. In this life, he just wants to live a better life. If anyone makes him uncomfortable, he will make sure that person has no chance to play. That's all! (End of this chapter)
