Winner Takes It All, Resurrection 2009

"It's really a dog-skin plaster that won't come off no matter where you put it."

Li Zehua looked at the latest message in his hand, frowned and handed it to Lin Wenhui who had just rushed over from Yanjing, "Look, the guy who tried to embarrass me at the annual meeting last time is here again."

Lin Wenhui took a closer look and became worried, "Good people don't come, and those who come are not good!

The company had previously arranged for Tengda to take the opportunity to short sell, causing BlackRock to lose billions. The most important thing is that it was heard that before this, Tengda issued a semi-perpetual bond worth more than one billion US dollars in Hong Kong through Li Bancheng and others.

By the time of closing, funds led by BlackRock had invested US$3.5 million. Looking at Tenda's current operating conditions, it will not be easy to repay the money in the short term.

There are also a large number of companies whose share prices have plummeted on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange. I am afraid that these losses, combined with the losses, will be blamed on us by the other party.”

"That's about right. He said the same thing the last time we met. At that time, Mr. Ye took the initiative to help us out, so there was no direct conflict. But this time, it looks like he's going to show his cards."

Li Zehua understood a truth very early on: if there are people in this world who make money through financial means, there must be a big resentful person somewhere who is losing money, because wealth does not come out of thin air.

But it can be transferred artificially, and financial institutions rely on their strong information advantages and sufficient capital scale to reap profits around the world at will.

In the past, they were the only ones making money. When did they get cheated so badly? Fortunately, there were different opinions within Wall Street. After all, Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley also made huge profits.

It is difficult for a single fund like BlackRock or Vanguard State Street to represent the entire Wall Street and put pressure on Qingyun.

If the other party really has this strength, Li Zehua will not accept it at this stage. At worst, he will continue to retreat back to the Magic City and continue to develop in a hidden way. He cannot get out, and Squid Capital will not be able to infiltrate.

“However, with WeChat technology in hand, the overall environment in Hong Kong has been reversed by more than half, plus the Future Science and Technology City project and the 100,000 public housing plan, which involve vital interests.

Mr. Greg, most of the measures you take will probably be ineffective.”

Li Zehua always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't tell what it was. He could only attribute it to the mysterious self-confidence of this group of people. After all, their methods had been successful for so many years.

The three-pronged approach of mobilizing and inciting public opinion and taking advantage of the opportunity to intervene and seek profit is low-cost, quick to take effect, and high-yield. If he were in charge, he would not change rashly.

Lin Wenhui also held a similar view and said with emotion, "It was not until now that I understood why you left Ali alone when it suffered a series of heavy losses and was mired in the battle with Yahoo.

It seems that you are determined to initiate a war against Tenda. It turns out that it is so important to control the initiative of traffic. You have understood the bottom line of the rules of the game from the beginning.

Fortunately, Tengda was suppressed. Otherwise, looking at the current situation, it would definitely stand on the opposite side. No matter how much we offer, it will be useless because Tengda’s core interests have always been outside.

We can't give much, and it can always find a more perfect substitute in Hong Kong."

"It's all thanks to you and Old Wu. You hold a purse in one hand and a megaphone in the other. Money can make all troubles disappear temporarily, and as long as the megaphone drowns out the other person's voice, you win.

The other party has been trying to lead the company into a dangerous preset position. It is easy for them to throw mud, but it is difficult for us to prove our innocence. Often, they spend one dollar to spread the news.

The company will have to spend hundreds of dollars running around explaining things to everyone, and the key is that consumers who don’t know the truth may not be willing to believe it. As long as we fall into the trap, we will fall into the other party’s rhythm and cannot escape.

Little do they know that the competition between these companies is actually no different from the quarrel between the aunties at the village entrance. The purpose of the quarrel is not to see who can convince whom.

There is only one key point. My voice must be louder than yours. I will try to piss you off to death during the quarrel. If not, I will make you lose your composure and reveal your true colors.

When we are angry, we will act impulsively. When we are impulsive, bad things will happen. When bad things happen, we will have opportunities!"

Li Zehua envied the fighting power of the aunt at the entrance of the village, but unfortunately he could never learn it. Fortunately, as a boss, he could find someone to replace her if he didn't understand.

"It's true. Wu Yibin looks gentle and polite at ordinary times, but when he rolls up his sleeves and gets down to business, he is really capable of giving it his all. This kind of person is exactly what the company needs!
With you, Mr. Wu, and other core management members working hard for the company's business, the group is as stable as a rock. You are the most important and valuable asset.

Even though I have nothing now, as long as I have your support, I can create a new Qingyun out of thin air."

Of course, timing and opportunity are more important, but Li Zehua would naturally not say anything that would spoil the mood.

Lin Wenhui enjoyed the flattery from his boss himself, especially when the boss was generous in converting verbal praise into tangible rewards, which was enough to make him work hard for the group.

He is good at leading the financial work of the group and conquering the financial field. He is also good at checking for loopholes and filling gaps in the group's strategy during execution. He took this opportunity to say, "Greg's matter.

This is also a disguised reminder for us to be more cautious in the future. Look at the message House sent over, which mentioned that BlackRock is going to crack down on the group's exposed investment plans.

Should the group make some preparations in advance?"

“It’s time to prepare, especially to guard against the large-scale exposure of sock puppet investment funds.”

Li Zehua suddenly remembered something. In the history of the U.S. stock market, there have been several sudden flash crashes, and at one point the stock prices of major companies plummeted by more than 10%.

There was also an erroneous order incident involving Everbright in the mainland. Rather than being an accident, such incidents are more like some people taking advantage of a God-given opportunity to reshuffle the cards.

why?
Because the higher the risk and the higher the return of a project, the greater the possibility of cheating and changing the cards. Don't think too highly of human nature, especially for the dealer who can see his own cards clearly.

Maintaining a system with rules, bottom lines and sustainable development is certainly beneficial, because it can attract a steady stream of global investors to play at the lowest cost while maintaining credibility.

But when they encounter competitors that they cannot deal with using conventional means, they will turn the table over and change the rules. Isn't that how they pull the plug on the Internet?

“We need to set up an emergency organization under the investment company. We don’t need to deploy too many people at ordinary times, but we must ensure that they are trustworthy people.

This is particularly important. Once any emergency occurs, we can take over all accounts and execute relevant instructions without any obstacles after obtaining emergency authorization from you, me or Mr. Yao.

For example, suppose the stock market suddenly crashes today, and almost all high-quality stocks plummet. We are facing this event with an extremely low probability but inevitable occurrence.

How to do? "

Li Zehua asked himself and answered, "The group holds secret heavy positions in many stocks, with leverages of two to three times, or even three to five times. Once there is a sharp drop, it is very likely to go straight to the forced liquidation line.

Even when the risk of active liquidation arises, this department must make every effort to act, even if it means wasting commission fees by short selling. It is just a small commission fee and the company can afford the loss.

And at a certain point, we will promptly cover our positions and wait for market sentiment to recover. I don't believe that Squid Capital dares to risk collapse and bring down the world, and it is not just one big player.

If it really dares to go against the world and is willing to die together with Qingyun using the entire U.S. stock market, I will accept it.

Don’t doubt it. If you have this ability and find that someone is going long on a large scale, what would you do?
As the saying goes, longs never die, shorts never cease, and vice versa. No one will take the initiative to stop before the opponent has completely lost the last chip..."

Killing all the enemies is a common practice in financial market transactions. Don’t say it’s cruel. Survival of the fittest is one of the laws of survival.

The saying "Enjoy life to the fullest when you are happy" has made it very clear. If you don't pursue hard when you win, do you expect your opponent to show leniency when you lose miserably?
Especially since the other party can see your cards and knows how far you can go to make your opponent bankrupt, since you have already offended him, why should you give him another chance to turn defeat into victory?
Even as powerful as Wall Street, didn’t some super financial institutions controlled by Squidward Capital go bankrupt during the 08 subprime mortgage crisis?

All these are enough to show that no matter how powerful a capital group is, it will sometimes stumble, and whoever wins will not give the opponent any hope of a comeback.

Lin Wenhui said that he fully understood and would execute his ideas, but there were still many problems that needed to be solved in the specific operation process, such as the millions of institutional and individual accounts scattered in more than 400 mainstream financial institutions around the world.

How to take over and operate at the same time, and how to hide the income after being exposed, are all tedious tasks that require a lot of time, energy and resources, and it is easy to be discovered if you are not careful.

The two discussed the response strategy for a long time, such as proactively abandoning some exposed accounts and transferring transactions between the left and right hands to avoid being targeted.

Another example is expanding the holdings of secret funds in the United States so that even if they are exposed, they can be transferred quickly to reduce losses.

Of course, the best way is to do everything possible to attract American capital to participate, and use their network of contacts to hide for themselves. There is no end to making money, and only by tying up the interests of more people can safety be ensured. "Try to do everything possible to bring in the retirement pension funds of American lawyers, doctors, teachers and other groups, as well as the campus investment funds of those Ivy League universities, even if the benefits given out exceed the scope allowed by the group.

We must obtain a local vest and use the most authentic local people to hold the shares on our behalf. We can make it as complicated as possible. As long as we can make money with these local groups, we can stay safe by hiding behind the scenes. "

After finally making the decision, Li Zehua called Ma Jun and Zhou Wanhao over. Lin Wenhui knew that they had core secrets to discuss, so he made an excuse to leave.

Although he is an absolute core figure of the group, it is not his responsibility and he does not want to get involved because the more he knows, the worse it is.

Ma Jun was immersed in the joy of getting promoted and getting rich, but when he saw that his boss's face was obviously not right, he also became nervous.

Because his interests are completely tied to his boss's.

"Marriott, you handled things very well in Europe, generating $1.8 million in net profit in one quarter, even though the lion's share was distributed among the people below."

Li Zehua first praised Zhou Wanhao, who did a very good job indeed.

Starting from July and August 11, some scammers originally controlled by Qingyun began to turn to Europe for recruitment and training, and by October the business was basically on track.

Stimulated by Qingyun's incredible distribution model, these people don't even need to be urged to work. They are simply like nuclear-powered donkeys, they don't eat, drink or sleep, and their minds are full of making money.

Of course, the channels controlled by Qingyun secretly support it (the communications are self-destructing and the transactions on the virtual currency platform cannot be tracked, but they are not directly involved in them), which solves the biggest worry.

This group of people were like hungry wolves entering a flock of sheep, and they started eating like crazy. The $1.8 million was just the legal commission income from developing software, providing maintenance, and the trading process.

Zhou Wanhao was particularly touched by this, "It's as easy as picking up money, but unfortunately 9% of the funds cannot be collected."

"Stop it. The group will never do anything that will cost you your life. You must remember that only money earned legally and reasonably can be spent with peace of mind. No matter how much ill-gotten gains there are, they can only be kept for funeral expenses."

Li Zehua waved his hands repeatedly, "Besides, even if they finally get the funds, don't they still need to invest through the channels controlled by the group?

These people make money easily and don't care about profit or loss at all. As long as you use a little bit of resources and continue to control their channels, you can get it easily.

At that time, find some opportunities to invest in the financial market, and use your left and right hands to trade with each other, and get rid of it reasonably and legally.

You can learn from Mr. Lin in this regard and see how he made a net profit of 9 million US dollars in more than three months through European channels. In the future, he will make more and more money.

More than you can spend.”

When Zhou Wanhao thought of that situation, he was so excited that he trembled all over, because the more the group earned, the more he would get. In just three months, his personal commission income reached 180 million US dollars.

And this number can be easily added with a zero, or even two zeros, in just a little bit of time.

"Do your best. We are just using the enemy's methods to fight the enemy. You should be very clear about the Yunnan-Burma incident, so there is no need to hold back. As long as you don't let the group get involved, no one can do anything to you."

Li Zehua raised a finger and said, "This is just the first step. Your next task, Ma Jun, is very important. Of course, Lao Zhou, you must also cooperate unconditionally.

Now it’s time to move on to our second killer move.”

Next, he told the two of them his plan in detail.

The plan is also very simple. For those so-called insiders who are unwilling to cooperate with Qingyun and take the initiative to come back to build, we must try our best to grasp their weaknesses, and then...

I'm sorry, you have your pursuits and I have mine. Since you can't be of use to me, I'll find a way to destroy it, without even having to do it myself.

Because of human greed, these people will take the initiative to step into the trap, and then it will be the turn of some local resources controlled by the group to come forward and use the rules to eliminate these people.

He might be expelled or locked up, but what does that have to do with Qingyun?
If they were not of the same origin, they would have ended up like those guys who could not get tanned. As long as they showed excellent scientific research talent (but had not yet emerged and were unwilling to cooperate), they would be visited by all kinds of accidents...

"We need to do both things at the same time. Any threat that could hinder the group's technological progress must be eliminated in advance, but we also cannot allow our opponents to find alternative methods. After all, there are so many geniuses, it is impossible to kill them all.

Therefore, in the specific implementation process, we must firmly adhere to one principle and push the third brother up at all costs..."

Ma Jun did not dare to disobey his boss's orders, but when he heard the order to push his third brother up, his face turned as if he was constipated. He felt really uncomfortable.

Zhou Wanhao was also confused and couldn't figure out what was going on.

Li Zehua laughed and said, "You submitted the information yourself, aren't you aware of it?
Well, let’s take a look at these information documents, which contain all the problems that Lijiaopo is facing now.

I didn’t necessarily believe it before, but after watching it, my three views were shattered. The third brother is indeed a super genius second only to the eldest and second brothers.

As for them, we should focus on exploring their potential in the future, and for those who have the ability to go abroad, the group should provide financial support~"

Facing his two increasingly confused colleagues, Li Zehua finally revealed the answer, "Look carefully, this is complete data collected from more than 170 target companies, 16 of which have hired senior executives from San Ge's family as decision-makers.

And then see what changes happened in the next two years?"

Ma Jun didn't quite understand all this, so he looked at Zhou Wanhao, who picked up a document suspiciously, but the more he looked at it, the weirder his expression became. After putting it down, he seemed not to believe it.

Pick it up again and read it carefully.

Finally, he smiled bitterly and said, "Can we still play it this way?"

Ma Jun was anxious. Why didn't anyone help him?

Fortunately, Zhou Wanhao quickly said, “Brother Ma, there is an old saying that when you find a cockroach in the kitchen, it is already crowded with this thing in places you can’t see.”

Ma Jun understood what was said, and then he looked at the changes in the numbers on the data report and said speechlessly: "Isn't there anyone in charge? It's impossible that no one has noticed it for such a long time."

"How could it not be discovered? The problem is that it can save costs!"

Li Zehua could only express his speechlessness, "But this is the reality. Third Brother's family has always had a tradition of mentoring and helping others. One person brings a group of people with him, and within a year or two, all the other middle and lower levels are our own people.

The key is that these people can really save costs. As for the services and quality that disappear, it doesn’t matter. At most, we can make up for it in the future.”

He was lucky that there was no such person in his company, otherwise he would have been so angry that he would have died.

"Anyway, just do this and do whatever you can to push them up.

As for the third step, which is also the most important one, I must do everything I can to find local people to rely on, as there are many things that cannot be done without their participation.

Also, starting from today, keep a close eye on the people on the list. If possible, whether they are bribed or sent someone to infiltrate, I must know their movements at all times.

Especially these two, I need to know everything clearly, including what they eat every day and what socks they wear, because the difficulties the group is facing now need the help of these two people to break them.

Understand? "

Among the names that Li Zehua emphasized was Greg's name.

Ma Jun nodded... (End of this chapter)
