Winner Takes It All, Resurrection 2009

Greg has been very upset recently because the University of Tokyo has passed the new policy of integrating heaven and earth and has begun a vigorous merger of the country and the land.

As we all know, economy is the foundation of everything. Now that the Difang Group no longer has control over the money, it will be difficult for it to cooperate with foreign capital to make small moves.

Especially after the unification of heaven and earth, provinces began to integrate villages, towns, agricultural and commercial banks and other financial institutions that were originally scattered in various counties, and temporarily suspended the issuance of new securities and insurance licenses.

No matter how you look at it, it's a precursor to a large-scale power grab, which makes Squid Capital even more uncomfortable because they are best at operating through financial means.

By raising social funds to help certain people do certain things, commonly known as spending your money to do your thing, he takes the bulk of the money and makes you feel grateful.

Then, during the specific implementation process, large sums of funds will be withdrawn without anyone noticing, and they will run away before anyone can react, leaving an unmanageable mess in the local area, trapping you in the mud and taking advantage of you.

Only through this means can one accumulate huge wealth in the shortest possible time, use it to bribe all the key figures in a line, and draw more people into the water and use them for one's own benefit.

Once this way of playing gains a foothold, more people will inevitably be forced to join for short-term benefits, until these people fill all walks of life and occupy the right to speak, which will inevitably create greater value for Squid Capital.

However, ever since the higher-ups adopted the grand means of economic regulation and came up with the strategy of rural economic recycling and the development of two cities in each province, the most powerful brotherly groups in each region began to rapidly change their positions.

The most important reason is that the benefits are tilted in favor of the most important cities in the province, and the groups they form hold most of the local voice, so it would be best for them to integrate local resources.

Driven by huge economic interests and the motivation for promotion, these groups will spare no effort to eliminate any potential hidden dangers and keep a close eye on those who attempt to cross the line.

In this way, not only the originally sharp tension was eased, but also most of the power originally used by the upper level for restriction and supervision was perfectly released for expansion in other directions.

At a higher level, the large groups that originally held control began to talk more about how to successfully go abroad and gain a foothold overseas.

With Qingyun’s example, no one thinks they can’t do it, especially now that they control the two vital lifelines of Internet public opinion and finance. Many regions in Southeast Asia are almost the same as their own backyard.

The opportunity for large-scale overseas expansion has already appeared. Everyone is clamoring and pushing each other, with a firm belief in their hearts to create unprecedented achievements for themselves and future generations and to make the group prosper for another three to five hundred years.

After all, the control and dominance of resources gained through competition overseas can be passed on legally and reasonably. This alone is enough to make everyone crazy.
"But that's not what the script says!"

BlackRock's global vice president Greg was almost mad with rage. As the direct executor of the expected layout and preparation for the harvest, he knew very well that Wall Street had finally managed to get the two companies to reach a short-term alliance agreement through a series of negotiations in 09.

Youtai Capital took the opportunity to make large-scale investments to infiltrate its rival on the other side of the ocean. Its original intention was definitely not to help Dongda complete its industrial upgrading, nor was it to cultivate a new competitor.

Instead, it was a temporary compromise reached under the premise of being forced to do so, and its essence was just to delay time and warm up for another harvest after recovering strength.

In essence, it was the financial crisis in 08 that hit Squid Capital hard. At the most critical moment, half of Wall Street was dragged down, and the other half had already drowned. The situation was extremely bad.

If it weren't for the Federal Reserve controlled by Squid Capital, which stood up at the critical moment and directly flooded Wall Street with money, the system that Squid Capital had spent decades to build might have ended ahead of schedule.

How dangerous was the situation at that time?

If Washington cannot withstand the pressure from Europe and opens its doors to allow European financial institutions to come in for rescue, then Sita Capital will lose its influence and control over the world by mid-08.

And America will completely decline at the same time.

Look at what Oumeng Capital did at that time. Their investment and acquisition list included not only the now-vanished Bear Stearns and Merrill Lynch.

There are also a large number of core American-funded enterprises, including Citigroup and the largest insurance company in the United States. Without these, American capital is basically doomed to decline.

At that time, Washington was also undecided, and the Federal Reserve was helpless. There was no money to rescue.

If it is not rescued, Wall Street controls more than 80% of the world's U.S. debt. If it collapses or is controlled by outsiders, the dominance of the U.S. economy will be held by others.

Whether it is life or death, American capital must obey orders.

Everyone sat down to negotiate and finally came to the unanimous conclusion that the American economy must be rescued, but the question was: where would the money come from?

It is true that the Federal Reserve is the issuer of the US dollar, but the problem is that it cannot print money at will. The basis for the existence of the US dollar is the world's recognition of the comprehensive strength of the United States.

Linking to commodity trading and petrodollar is just a way for America to show its strength to the outside world. America is not yet strong enough to monopolize all transactions at will.

It just relies on its powerful strength to suppress those players who do not abide by the rules of the game at any time. For example, the Mesopotamian region attempted to change the settlement system to the euro, so it was given a big blow as soon as possible.

But when America is in the quagmire of the financial crisis, with all its strength but no suitable vehicle to deploy it, it is like a dying old man who can be kicked by anyone.

The most terrifying thing in the world is not that you have no strength, but that all your opponents are questioning your strength and no longer fear and abide by the rules you set.

No matter how powerful you are, you will be useless because there is no stage for you to perform. What's more, America itself is not that powerful. A large part of its strength depends on the resources of its allies to complete its strategic layout.

For example, if the United States loses the support of the globalized system, it will lose its core presence in many industries. Without the resources of its allies, it will not even be able to become a regional power.

It will only be excluded by the mainstream world and become a remote and poor relative that no one cares about in the global village, until it completely loses its sense of existence.

The Federal Reserve was facing this severe test at the time. It could issue massive amounts of US dollars to help Wall Street tide over the difficulties, but the price was that the US dollar system would collapse and it would completely lose the pricing power of major resources.

Without the powerful force injected into the green paper to provide it with credit endorsement, it is worthless. What's more, there is a powerful Ou Meng outside kicking the door hard, and the whole house is about to collapse.

Tokyo University and the Big Cat came to us on their own initiative because no one wants to see a complete Europe appear before the world again.

The fear of being dominated by Europe for two hundred years surged up in everyone's heart again. For their own interests, America, Tokyo, and the Big Cats united for the first time as never before.

With the Koreans completely controlled by American capital, and the extremely reluctant Trump administration but forced to stand up under pressure from the US, the Federal Reserve finally got the crucial credit endorsement.

The University of the East provides an inexhaustible supply of cheap industrial products, helping the US dollar stabilize its most basic purchasing power credit, which is crucial, whether the United States recognizes it or not.

Nothing can change the fact that during the financial crisis, Southeast University provided the most important help to American capital. Without this foundation, the hegemony of the green paper would have completely collapsed at the end of 08 and the beginning of 09.

This was also the basis for a series of subsequent actions by the two countries. It was only after the US capital recovered that it turned its back on its commitments, leading to all subsequent conflicts.

The big cat took out its treasured massive amount of cheap energy resources to give the US dollar a shot in the arm.

Chicken and Korean have successfully provided support for American high-tech manufacturing in the fields of semiconductors, chemical energy and machinery manufacturing.

Only after obtaining these core key resources did the Federal Reserve successfully stabilize the market's confidence in the US dollar and dare to make a desperate move and shout out the slogan "Stabilize Wall Street, God is America".

Then, massive amounts of U.S. dollars that were recognized by the global mainstream market began to rescue American capital at all costs. Behind this, every piece of green paper reflects the unremitting efforts of the University of Tokyo.

Everyone knows what happened next. America successfully overcame the difficulties, and Wall Street launched an unprecedented retaliatory action against Europe. The European debt crisis was just the beginning.

Wall Street is now intensively deploying its strategy against the British pound, preparing to open a gap from the weakest link of Europe Meng, and at the same time, it is also taking a big move against the two cats, preparing to create an unhealable wound between Hans and the cats. In the financial crisis, the big cats who are trying to ease the situation are enjoying unprecedented most-favored-nation treatment, waving foreign exchange reserves accumulated for decades, and making value investments all over the world with the support and tacit approval of American capital.

The University of Tokyo has gradually come to its senses and realized that being a friend of the United States is more dangerous than being its enemy, because after it recovered, Washington almost completely reneged on most of the conditions it promised.

The agreed upon Western Pacific Economic and Trade Zone and the 5 trillion dollar swaps were all forcibly disrupted by American capital. The worst deceived were the chicken in the basin, and no less than thirty to fifty senior executives of the entire group resigned.

There are many people who can't swim and take the initiative to dive without protection for six hours, people without wings who insist on flying 300 meters without restrictions, and people who suffer cardiac arrest after eating rice balls.

In short, once the European debt crisis broke out and Europe, which was stuck in the quagmire, lost its threat, American capital turned its back on them, which really broke the backs of many people, and the once beautiful and sweet life turned into deadly arsenic.

Who can bear it?

It has to be said that American capital is completely inhumane. Through its concrete actions, it has given all its opponents and potential allies a vivid and extremely cruel lesson in reality.

This lesson completely awakened countless dreamers. From that second on, the vast majority of people let go of their unrealistic expectations and began to actively seek change with their feet on the ground.

Since we can't cooperate, I'll bury you completely. Without this troublemaker, the world will definitely be a better place.

With this change, American capital instantly began to feel uncomfortable. After all, it could not handle dealing with three or even more equally powerful opponents at the same time.

Especially at the critical juncture of dealing with Ou Meng, American capital could not spare much energy to suppress other opponents, so it could only restrain its nature and put on a hypocritical mask full of misunderstandings.

Before, it was the people below who acted on their own and caused so much trouble. Let's all give them some face and pretend nothing happened. Let's continue to be good brothers. It would be perfect if we all get rich together.

Unfortunately, except for Big Cat, who was still stupid enough to believe it, the others didn't even believe in the punctuation marks. But even though they didn't believe it, they still had to put on a smile to maintain the friendship.

American capital is well aware of this, but they can still distinguish between major conflicts and minor threats, so some necessary olive branches and cakes must be thrown out.

Therefore, the big cats can still invest in many core industries, and international hot money guided by American capital continues to flow into the Dongda market. Even if they know that the other party is taking the opportunity to complete industrial upgrading, they just pretend not to know.

Everyone is gambling, betting that their own layout will be completed first, and then they will gather their strongest forces to face off against their opponents.

American capital has reason to believe that Ou Meng is definitely not their opponent, because Hans itself is not a normal entity, but it has a fatal handle in the hands of America.

In addition, the continuous pressure on Dai Ying has been effective. As long as Dai Ying's cousin acts as a fence-sitter again and disintegrates Ou Meng from within, the layout of American capital will be completely successful.

What's more, the second cat standing between Hans and the cat can take the opportunity to make a big fuss. If everything goes well, Ou Meng's threat will not be worth mentioning.

But who could have imagined that Dongda would move faster, especially after it caught the wave of the mobile Internet era, its development has been advancing by leaps and bounds, especially the new force represented by the thriving Qingyun Group.

Not only did it defeat the interest carrier selected by Youtai Capital, it also completely defeated the Taishan School. The hot money in Jiangsu and Zhejiang was also half-dead. Zhongxin Ali can no longer compete with the Qingyun School.

What is even more frightening is that Hong Kong Capital, which once left the entire Wall Street helpless and could only solve the problem through slow infiltration, could not even survive the first round.

Under the attack of Dongda Capital, the two crucial core resources of Cheung Kong and HSBC were lost. The American capital at that time wanted to take the opportunity to lure out Dongda Capital and then cut off its retreat and eat it up.

But no one would have thought that Dai Ying, the company behind Xiangjiang Capital, had already been in decline, and had been repeatedly beaten by American capital. It had accumulated a lot of resentment in its heart, and when facing Dongda Capital, it did not play by the rules at all, and simply gave up when it knew it could not win.

After only a simple first round of resistance, they lay down on the spot. There was no repeated tug-of-war as expected by Yutai Capital, which would have dragged on and exhausted Dongda Capital.

(Because it is impossible to use one's strength to fight rats in one's own porcelain shop, so in theory, as long as Dai Ying continues to invest strength and refuses to admit defeat, he can fight for a long time.)
Then, after the American capital has dealt with Ou Meng's affairs, it will mobilize all its forces to encircle and reap the rewards.

However, the idea is beautiful and the reality is cruel.

Don’t you see that Qingyun suddenly appeared and grasped the changes in the situation so accurately? The reason why Dongda Capital in the original time and space was caught in a tough battle and spent six years to barely achieve a nominal victory.

That is because since 16, American capital has locked onto Hong Kong in advance and made sufficient preparations. Dongda Capital rushed into the fight and fell into their preset position, making every step extremely difficult.

At that time, Times Britain and Hong Kong Capital had invested completely in American capital and were willing to be driven by it. The imbalance of power between the two sides made it difficult to move forward.

But now it is 11, and the US capital is making a big move in Europe and Meng, constantly trying to make a breakthrough from Dai Britain, suppressing it at all costs and forcing it to surrender.

Dai Ying was originally caught between Europe and America, and suffered heavy losses from being beaten back and forth. Now American capital and Dongda Capital have joined forces again to launch a new round of attacks in Hong Kong.

How could Dai Ying have the spare energy to deal with a non-core battlefield thousands of miles away?

Not to mention taking advantage of the situation for the U.S. capital and hindering the actions of Dongda Capital. It was bent on contraction and directly sold off the U.S. capital, making the latter's wishful thinking completely fail.

In addition, Qingyun has quickly gained a large number of core allies in Southeast Asia through mobile Internet technology and has established a firm foothold. It is now beginning to lead domestic companies to go overseas on a large scale. It is too late for American capital to regret.

But he didn't have a good way to deal with it, and even at the critical moment of planning for Ou Meng, he didn't dare to completely tear his face off and take action in advance.

The reason is very simple. During the financial crisis, Dongda could use massive industrial products to maintain the credit of the US dollar. Now, once the two sides have a complete fallout, Dongda can also completely turn to Ou Meng.

American capital trembles with fear at the thought of the massive amount of cheap industrial products successfully supporting the euro, so it can only find ways to stabilize Tokyo University and some technologies and equipment that do not involve its lifeline during this period.

It is also to meet their needs as much as possible. After all, American capital is not a monolithic entity. Who wouldn't like the dollars that Tokyo University delivers to their doorstep?
There are so many lobbying groups in Washington who also need to eat. Related companies earn excess profits, and a large number of financial institutions such as Goldman Sachs and Morgan Americas receive super high interest income. Everyone is happy.

From the beginning to the end, only a few institutions such as JPMorgan Chase, BlackRock, Vanguard State Street, etc., which did not make excess profits from it, remained vigilant and hostile.

BlackRock, in particular, suffered heavy losses in Hong Kong. The Taishan faction, the Jiangsu and Zhejiang hot money, and the Tengda investment were all defeated by Qingyun one after another, and the indirect (future) losses are more than one trillion.

The direct losses in Internet finance, cultural tourism and financing of a certain industry alone amounted to hundreds of billions of RMB. How could it not hate Qingyun to the core?

So faced with increasingly stringent accountability from headquarters, Greg knew he had to make some key decisions.

Either resolve the threat posed by Qingyun fundamentally, or resolve the issue on his own initiative so that his family can escape.

Greg didn't want to die. Having experienced the best enjoyment, he wanted to continue enjoying it for another fifty years, so he could only find a way to get rid of Qingyun.

However, external means were no longer effective. As far as he knew, Longfor's Wu Guanjun had returned from Lijiaopo and successfully regained control of Longfor.

In addition, the 3500 million tons of oil refining capacity created by Qingyun represents that the energy system has also begun to take the initiative to ease the situation. The departure of several key figures also means that BlackRock's influence has begun to decline.

Since external means are no longer usable, BlackRock has no choice but to put all its chips on internal changes, for example, using Li Zehua's secret will to make a fuss.

As long as he encounters an accident, the powerful Qingyun system will inevitably fall apart. By then, the US capital will have enough time to continue to improve its layout and achieve the purpose of continuing to reap the benefits... (End of this chapter)
