Winner Takes It All, Resurrection 2009
Chapter 630: I want money but I don’t do it
"Someone from BlackRock came and asked me to go back to the country, saying that someone wanted to see me. The person who delivered the message was a vice president of Zhongxin here, but I can't find out who is behind it for now."
On New Year's Eve, Yang Zhichao, who had been missing for a long time, suddenly appeared out of nowhere and broke the news, "They promised to give me $30 million in lobbying funds.
It is used to win over subordinates and colleagues within the company and support me in successfully replacing you and taking that position at a critical moment. It also implies that the Indonesian Zhou family may have already taken over.
You really think highly of me. Don't I know my own worth? Without you, Qingyun will fall apart in an instant. When we lose the protection of the group, who will I be?"
"Zhou Shouyuan is coming over tonight. Ask him yourself whether he wants to take refuge with us."
Li Zehua laughed, "It costs so much to let you go back to China. It seems that you are aiming for something big. Where is the money? Is it a blank check?"
"That's not the case. Didn't they give me five million dollars before? This time they gave me some information, asking me to use triple leverage to buy a certain stock at a certain price.
After checking, I found that it is a small-cap, small technology company with a small amount of liquidity. It is quite easy to increase the price by one or two times. The key is that it will not attract special attention from the outside world. It can be done in ten minutes.
It's not easy. I consulted the group's legal department before coming here. If this kind of insider trading is confirmed, no matter where I am in the future, I will be subject to unlimited pursuit by the relevant departments of the United States. "
Yang Zhichao doesn't care whose money he takes, because all of this has been approved by Li Zehua. It is only natural for him to receive some hard work fees for cooperating with him. Could it be that BlackRock really dares to do anything to him?
Business competition also has a bottom line. Unless all threats can be solved once and for all, no one will easily break the rules of the game. If you are rich, others are also rich. In the end, everyone will be in danger.
Are you still playing this game?
Especially the big shots who are rich and have resources, they all cherish their lives very much. Once both sides find that neither can do anything to the other, they will hold their noses and shake hands and make peace under the mediation of the same-level groups.
Everyone took a step back and divided up their territories according to their strength, and from then on they kept to themselves. As for playing dirty tricks in private and letting others get a hold of the fatal handle, no matter how powerful they were, they would have to pay a high price and admit defeat.
Therefore, the higher up you go, the more stable it is, because none of the players have the strength to overturn the table and kill the opponent. They can only restrain each other and provide protection for each other, so that everyone can have fun together.
The pleasure of revenge and the anger of a common man mostly happen between ordinary people.
Of course, if the power gap between the two sides is too big, such as when top multinational companies deal with small regional companies, the right to interpret the rules is in the hands of the multinational groups, and they can play however they want.
Because no one would be willing to risk angering a large group by speaking up for a small company with no vested interest, unless the large group reveals a fatal flaw during the execution process.
When doing things in a careless manner arouses public anger and allows others to take advantage of the situation to profit, it will trigger another round of fierce competition.
As for the action against Li Zehua himself, it was purely because he offended too many people, and most of the people responsible for carrying out the mission were puppets, so even if they were investigated, the large group itself would not be implicated.
We are all old sycophants, how could we be so stupid as to personally take action and leave evidence? How many people's jobs have been destroyed during Qingyun's rise?
For example, colleagues in logistics and express delivery, hot money from Jiangsu and Zhejiang, Taishan School and international hot money, Internet peers, Hong Kong Capital, Chaozhou Porridge Group, there are countless people here who have been driven into desperation by Qingyun.
As long as Yutai Capital and Qingyun’s domestic competitors give a little guidance or hint, countless people will jump out and want to kill Li Zehua and avenge him. How can this be investigated?
But Yang Zhichao is different. He is not responsible for financial investment and corporate mergers and acquisitions. Theoretically, no one would seek revenge on him, otherwise it would be illogical and would be easily exposed once investigated.
In addition, the security forces around him are not weak, and it is not easy to approach him through conventional means. Therefore, if an accident really happens, the target range will quickly be locked on a very few individuals.
What awaits the other party will surely be Qingyun's endless revenge, which is why BlackRock chose to pay with financial means. The threat afterwards has little meaning to Yang Zhichao.
He could only find a way to get hold of his weakness and pull him into the team to become one of their own. Even if he couldn't successfully replace Li Zehua as the leader of Qingyun, he could still use his position to pass on business information and deal a fatal blow to Qingyun at a critical moment.
No matter how you look at it, it’s a good deal.
Li Zehua couldn't help but frown, "It's really a good plan. I forgot to mention that the secret account you opened at UBS was secretly investigated by someone. Only after they confirmed that you received the first 500 million did they initially believe you.
Now I'm paying the second installment through financial means. If you take it, unless you never leave the country again, all American overseas agencies, including the CIA, will be able to arrest you with justification.
If you don’t take it, the test ends here.”
Yang Zhichao was reluctant to part with the 30 million US dollars. "Can you arrange for someone you trust to collect the money? As long as I don't show up, they shouldn't be able to deal with me directly."
"You set up a trap, wouldn't you consider these things? Five million dollars, triple leverage, such a huge amount of money, must be bought within a specified time, and then wait for it to rise and then sell at a high price.
How do you explain all this? You want others to believe it's all coincidence?"
Li Zehua shook his head and said, "Don't treat everyone as fools. As long as you accept the money, they will have plenty of ways to deal with you in the future.
Don't even think about taking this bite of fat meat. You must find a safer way to receive money. Since they are willing to transfer 5 million to you unconditionally, it means that you are worth much more than that.
Money is secondary. They take the opportunity to find out their ultimate goal and focus their main energy on it, so as to share the pressure the group is facing in other directions, and even drag Greg and his followers into the water.
It is in the best interests of the group.”
Yang Zhichao sighed, "It's so damn hard to make some easy money these days. How come it's so hard for people to even have the most basic trust with each other?"
"Don't be so ungrateful. Just be happy that you got five million dollars."
Li Zehua thought about it carefully for a while, and then thought about the series of abnormal behaviors that happened in Yuqing recently, and then said: "If I am not mistaken, the other party is more anxious than us.
Wu Guanjun and Zhou Shouyuan will both be here later. They will be in more direct contact with each other on the front line and may be able to provide more valuable clues.
By the way, you will be the one to entertain our Southeast Asian partners tonight. Don’t worry about so many things on New Year’s Eve. The most important thing is to be happy.”
Yang Zhichao made a big deal~
After Wu Guanjun and Zhou Shouyuan arrived, together with Wei Kejian, Zhou Wanhao, Zhang Tao and others, everyone got together to conduct a careful and comprehensive review of everything that had happened recently.
The information Wu Guanjun said made everyone present feel frightened, because some people were so angry that they were ready to completely disobey the rules of the game.
Wu Guanjun said, and reminded him, "Before I left, someone came to me and said that if I wanted to take back control of the company, I had to do what they asked. Otherwise, I would never be able to go back in my life."
Li Zehua listened carefully, combined with his memory of what they did in the Central Plains time and space, and sneered: "They are just clowns who can't see the situation clearly and try to stop the chariot with their arms.
Let’s see how long they can still laugh.”
Then he asked her, "Is there anything unclean left in the company?"
Wu Guanjun's face turned bitter. This was what bothered her. She said with a sad face, "How can you succeed in a certain industry without getting involved in any dust?
It is inevitable to eat and drink together at ordinary times, and to give small items such as local specialties when leaving. After all, if you receive favors from others during the course of business and do not make appropriate expressions, it will be difficult to gain a foothold in society.
But I can guarantee that there is no evidence that can be used to make a big fuss, at most it is just a minor incident."
Li Zehua looked at her deeply and said in a deep voice: "Can you guarantee it?"
Wu Guanjun stopped talking.
"There are only two options before you now. Either there are no major loopholes in the company's operations, and at best these are just minor problems that require you to drink three cups of wine as punishment. In this case, you can act uprightly and we can make a big fuss about it.
You can even confront them head-on and make a big fuss in one breath. The bigger the fuss, the more difficult it will be to end. You can then lay everything out in the open, forcing the parties watching from behind to take the initiative to step forward and calm the situation.
We'll see how he ends up. Whether he gives up or compromises secretly, he will be a big disappointment to others, and then things will be easier."
Li Zehua glanced at her again, and seeing that she didn't say anything, he continued, "The only way left is to temporarily avoid the limelight. As the saying goes, if you want to destroy someone, you must make him crazy.
He went to great lengths to find a breakthrough and a fatal handle to force us to switch sides or even counterattack in the next series of arrangements. This kind of thing cannot be done in any case. Now we are on this road and there is no retreat. With our size, no matter what choice we make, we can't escape the other side's focused attack.
Not to mention surrendering midway, no one will fully accept you, and you will die even faster then."
After making up his mind, he said to Wu Guanjun in no uncertain terms: "You just stay in Lijiapo and don't move for the time being. If you are optimistic, it will take at most three to five months, and if you are pessimistic, it will take at most one year for you to go back.
I guarantee that even if you lose the shares of the listed company, Qingyun Real Estate's commercial property management will be able to compensate you for all your losses."
With his personal promise, Wu Guanjun was no longer in a hurry, because Li Zehua's credibility was well-known to be secure, and everyone who followed him had received a lot of options.
Others may not know, but doesn’t she know the details of Qingyun Real Estate? Its net assets are at least over 700 to 800 billion yuan. Only God knows how high it can reach in the future.
You can earn more by just getting three or five points of option shares than you would from Longfor.
After resolving what happened in Yu Qing, Li Zehua turned to ask Zhou Shouyuan, mainly about the company's information intelligence network in Europe and the United States and the development of allies. It would be best if there was business, but it didn't matter if there wasn't.
Because Qingyun's roots will never be in Europe and the United States, and he will never be able to climb to the top of the economic decision-making level in Europe and the United States. If he has a poor background, why should he force his way in and work like a slave for others?
If you want to do it, be the capital maniac of the Eastern world, lead the emerging economies to impact the existing systems, defeat them and become the new rule makers.
A real man is born between heaven and earth, how can he live under others for long?
Zhou Shouyuan knew this very well, so all his work was carried out in accordance with this goal. It didn't matter whether he made money or not, as long as he survived he could exert a special influence.
They secretly planned and protected the company, and at all costs hindered the big European and American companies, set traps for them, and spent a lot of money to bribe the big guys in Guohuishan.
And fund various local foundations to help accomplish the goals the company wants to achieve.
It’s not that he doesn’t want to go further, but there are too many natural limitations. For example, as soon as WeChat technology and micropayment appeared in North America, a group of Wall Street bigwigs greeted them through different channels.
Just as Li Zehua predicted at the beginning, when it comes to core resources, Wall Street and Squid Capital have no intention of compromising.
Even if Qingyun is willing to give up the core control of several products to Wall Street, the latter will not be moved at all, and it seems that Qingyun will be killed if it does not stop.
It's a very simple truth. No matter how many compromises Qingyun makes, it is still an outsider and a potential competitor. No one will believe the competitor's promises. What's more, WeChat and micropayments are not without alternatives.
Unless Qingyun is willing to hand over its controlling stake in Dongda, Southeast Asia and other regions, Wall Street will be willing to sit down and talk, after all, the economic value is so huge.
Who wouldn’t be moved when seeing this?
At worst, they can write a bunch of blank checks to stabilize Qingyun, and then wait until they have taken all the benefits and become ruthless. Will Qingyun dare to go to America to deal with them?
Zhou Shouyuan was not discouraged, because the group's upper limit was not high, and everyone was mentally prepared, so he was not panicked and reported with a happy face: "It's not that there is no gain at all.
The combination of many businesses such as ChuMi, SF Express, YunYunBang and Fengniao Smart Logistics Network has successfully established a foothold in Europe and the United States.
Because it can bring vital jobs and tax revenue to certain regions, even if a large group wants to suppress it, it will be opposed by local artists and functional departments who continue to benefit from it.
The group has established branches in 24 major countries in Europe and America, and has successfully entered the top three in terms of business volume of local Internet service platforms, surpassing Uber to become the number one in many regions. "
Zhou Shouyuan became happier as he spoke, "Although the strategy you insisted on for entering the lower-tier markets was difficult to start with and the profits were not much after it was established, its core advantages are obvious.
After taking care of the vital interests of the majority of people, it is very stable and difficult for people to leave the system. As long as it can continue to operate stably, it will definitely maintain a presence in Europe and the United States in the future. "
According to him, overall the company's development has been better than expected, but the quality of many European and American employees is uneven, which is very troublesome and disgusting.
He specifically picked out a few key examples, such as, "I still can't believe it, even in big cities like Los Angeles and New York, the group recruited employees.
They couldn't even do the simplest addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. Addition and subtraction were okay, multiplication was just so-so, and division was a nightmare. There was even a site where 25 people, and 12 of them couldn't do the most basic dictation and reading.
When asked, they all said they had graduated from high school. When further asked what they did in school, they all said they were pursuing happiness when they should have been working hardest.
The rest were not much better. There were only two high school graduates from ordinary backgrounds who were successfully admitted to university, but they were forced to enter society early because they could not afford the high cost.
In my opinion, there is really no hope for these people in the future.”
(The above data was released by an authoritative American department in 2013. The proportion was even more terrifying in 2017.)
"Just be yourself. As for the values of a very small number of people, just let them be. As long as everyone is happy, don't try to make comments in any public occasion, or even actively cater to such views."
Li Zehua wanted to laugh, but luckily he held it back. Doesn't this perfectly overlap with a joke on the Internet in the original time and space? If you find a shax, don't try to refute him.
Instead, we should praise and encourage them, and try to cultivate them into a big shax. Why would you stop someone who wants to destroy his own martial arts? The world's resources are limited. If there is one less person to share, the remaining people will have more to eat.
The correct thing to do is to continue to arrange financial donations to foundations that have established solid connections and support them in going further and further on the road to happiness.
Zhou Shouyuan did not refuse, because the more money he gave, the faster the other party would become weak. Recently, he started to contact the broadcaster and get in touch with several of the latter's key behind-the-scenes investors.
According to the instructions of the group, we should try to successfully promote the vice president of the third brother's family within the broadcasting department before certain things are exposed.
Li Zehua is very confident about this. "Looking back at what the broadcasting has done in the past ten years, you will understand why the senior executives of San Ge's family will definitely be promoted.
Because these people are not only capable, but also can compromise with investors unconditionally. Who doesn’t like to hear good words? If these people are promoted, they will be better able to take the blame in the future.”
Li Zehua said as he handed over a handwritten document.
Zhou Shouyuan took a look and said with a smile: "Boss, you are too cautious."
Li Zehua said: "It's better to be careful. Who told you to send back the news that all the printers, copiers, fax machines and even shredders controlled by foreign capital have hidden secrets.
Lao Yang has tested this personally. He selected several branches of foreign brands and tested it. He simply reported a fault on purpose, but they actually came to his home to repair it for free.
I am very satisfied with this after-sales service, but I don’t understand why the damaged parts are replaced for free. "
Yang Zhichao continued, “Everyone knows that these people are only interested in profit. They even have to cover their butts when the birds they control fly over the sky, for fear that they will enrich other people’s land.
It turned out that the core components were replaced and repaired for free. It was obvious that something was fishy, so I confiscated all of them and sent them to the professional testing department of the Five Military Governor's Office. It turned out to be just as I expected.
Of the seven foreign brands purchased, five have record restoration functions. The most exaggerated one is the 0.02 shredder, which can cut an A4 paper into hundreds of thousands of pieces and copy them in advance using laser sensing.
This infiltration is horrible!
Boss, there is nothing we can do about it. The domestic industrial chain cannot keep up for now, and our overseas branches have not yet undergone large-scale equipment changes. We can only make do with handwriting for now.”
Wei Kejian slapped his forehead and suddenly realized: "No wonder the other party knew so much of the key data of the Southeast Asia Business Group. It turned out that it had been leaked in advance!"
“Fortunately, we were more careful at the beginning. The group’s important information transmission and storage equipment were strictly tested, and after-sales repairs and scrapping were completely destroyed physically.
These people didn't dare to go too far, probably because they were afraid of being discovered. They didn't install equipment that could transmit in real time, and they had to remove key components to read the transmission."
Li Zehua sighed and continued, "Let's not talk about this. We can just replace them all later. Even if the domestic technology is inferior, the failure rate is higher, and the cost is higher, information security should be the main consideration."
Finally, the question turned to Yang Zhichao's case and asked Zhou Shouyuan if he had any good solution.
The latter was quite envious when he heard this, "You are so eager to give me money. Let me think about how you can take the money without anyone noticing and not take the blame..." (End of this chapter)
