Winner Takes It All, Resurrection 2009

"Why don't you ask around and find out who has the final say in this area? Without our Third Brother Wen giving the order, no one can make a difference.

It's a dragon, you have to coil it.

Even if you are a tiger, I will still turn you into a sick cat, do you understand? !

Seeing that your family is wealthy and powerful, you don't need this little money at all. Why waste it here? We hire these old men and women all day long, and the per capita fee is seventy or eighty per person.

Pay the money quickly, the price won’t be the same next time you come.”

The crazy and shouting boy continued his performance, not noticing the mocking looks from the opposite side.

From beginning to end, Li Zehua didn't bother to pay attention because he was busy talking with the president of the central bank about the issue of currency peg to credit.

Recently, the price of gold has been falling for five consecutive months from its historical high of nearly US$2500 per ounce due to the fading of the European debt crisis and the decline in global speculative hot money enthusiasm.

By the end of April and the beginning of May, the decline had almost doubled. The Ministry of Finance and the central bank had decided at an internal meeting to establish long-term gold purchases and increase reserves, which in turn created more favorable conditions for the decoupling of the RMB.

It has also established a strategy to add gold to a basket of currencies and to provide a credit bottom line. However, the central bank is one of the market's weather vanes after all. In order to prevent possible large-scale price shocks, procurement costs have surged.

The central bank took the initiative to find Qingyun and other private enterprises to purchase on its behalf, which was the so-called Swiss channel in the original time and space. At that time, the central bank purchased about 15 tons of gold through the market every month.

And through secret Swiss channels, about 45 tons of gold were purchased and stored secretly to enhance the credit endorsement of the RMB.

Qingyun also plans to purchase gold. One reason is that the outlook for world economic development is not optimistic. Qingyun has already formulated a plan to store precious metals for the next ten years.

Gold, silver and copper, which are indispensable for top industrial manufacturing, have been successfully incorporated into the storage system. Qingyun will purchase large quantities of precious metals and store them in advance at the low point of the precious metal price fluctuation cycle.

Secondly, Dongda and Southeast Asian capital, led by Qingyun, control half of the currently discovered bitcoins (the other half is in the hands of traditional American capital) and want to maintain the value of Bitcoin.

A resource with a stable currency value is bound to be needed for bundling, and gold, whose price has plummeted, becomes the best choice.

Because the amount of Bitcoin is limited, and the value of gold is universally recognized, before 0.1 or even 0.01 Bitcoin is issued, gold will be the best choice for irreplaceable credit endorsement.

According to the unanimous choice reached by Qingyun and other internal allies, including the terms agreed upon by Bank of America, California Consortium, Silicon Valley upstarts and other forces, the two groups will jointly invest.

They utilized all the resources and channels at their disposal, taking advantage of the favorable external environment where Wall Street was suppressing gold prices, and bought up the global gold reserves at a bargain price.

Unconditional purchases to the maximum extent the market can accept.

Under this premise, Qingyun is very happy to cooperate with the central bank's gold strategy, and has initially reached an agency purchase agreement with the latter for 15-20 tons per month, that is, Qingyun purchases the gold.

Obtain a loan amount in US dollars at the current gold price from the central bank in the form of collateral (or a low-interest loan amount collateralized by RMB at 102.5%, which can be used for investment in any industry).

This is obviously more beneficial to Qingyun because with Longfor's delisting from Hong Kong, subsidiaries of the group such as Runhua, China Merchants, Libao and Nandian Energy will successively go to Lijiaopo for listing.

By then, the amount of RMB required for overseas listing will increase dramatically. According to the group's estimate, by early 2015, the Lijiaopo Chinese concept stocks sector, which is actually managed by Qingyun, will accept more than 120-150 high-quality mainland companies for listing.

The total market value will exceed 3 trillion RMB, and will include a large number of core state-owned enterprises such as the four major banks, three major telecom operators, the two oil companies, as well as financial, securities, and insurance companies.

They will also be listed in Lijiaopo Trading Market one after another. If the Qingyun Group goes public as scheduled in 2015, the total market value of the entire Chinese concept stocks sector will reach a historical record of 30 trillion RMB.

The circulating market value alone is expected to exceed 8-10 trillion RMB (all the original shares of domestic high-quality companies that were listed in the early stage and the restricted shares will be released).

According to the agreement reached between Qingyun and Lijiaopo, when the market value of the Chinese concept stocks exceeds one trillion RMB, unlimited currency exchange business will be opened in Lijiaopo.

At that time, the RMB, SGD and mainstream currencies such as the US dollar, euro, pound sterling, and yen will no longer need to go through eight specific dealers to exchange a limited amount of RMB in advance to participate in stock trading.

Instead, any currency used when opening an account will be automatically converted into an equivalent amount of RMB at the real-time exchange rate listed on that day, so you can participate in transactions at any time.

This means that by then, the RMB will be able to circulate freely in the Lijiaopo financial market. In theory, there will be as much RMB in the market as the market value of Chinese stocks.

Its influence on the offshore foreign exchange market will also increase, and in turn, its control over the Southeast Asian financial market will also increase.

Qingyun earned US dollars from speculation in the gold futures market, through long-term investment in the US stock market (the US dollars can be pledged and flowed out of the United States at any time), and through its layout in the energy and agricultural markets.

Coupled with the success of micropayments in external markets such as Southeast Asia, it is foreseeable that Qingyun will not be short of foreign currencies such as the US dollar in the future, but will instead be short of RMB.

Compared with other peers in the market, Qingyun does not earn excess profits through traditional industries. It has many large employees, including Pinxixi, Chizuome, Fengniao Delivery, Qingyun Agriculture, and Qingyun Electronics (Zhaoxu Electronics).

It basically relies on losses to support its employees. For example, Pinxixi's total revenue in the past year was more than 400 billion US dollars, and it successfully broke into the top list of the Fortune Global 1.5 companies, but its net profit was only %.

Qingyun Agriculture even recorded an annual loss of over 500 billion RMB in one go, with a shocking financial report. Hummingbird has almost monopolized the entire express delivery industry and has become a giant in the logistics industry.

The annual revenue is hundreds of billions of RMB, but the profit is only a pitiful 40 billion, with a profit margin of less than 2%. No wonder outsiders are helpless when looking at the huge Qingyun system.

With so many employees, such a huge market share and first-mover advantage, how can latecomers successfully break through?

You can't just start out by expecting a loss of tens of billions by engaging in a price war, then continue to suffer losses for more than ten years while endlessly competing with Qingyun for market advantages, right?

The question is who would dare to lose so much money, and which investor would be crazy enough to invest money in a war that is doomed to fail?

What's more, Qingyun continues to suffer losses in this industry, but can make money back through the Internet, Internet finance and other related industries. For example, the food delivery business does not make money for Qingyun.

By providing commercial real estate leasing to catering outlets, Qingyun Real Estate has revitalized hundreds of millions square meters of commercial real estate, and its occupancy rate has never been lower than 90%, relying solely on this item.

Qingyun Real Estate can generate hundreds of billions of rental income each year internally. Coupled with the rapid rise in real estate prices, the premium part alone can support more than 50 years of continuous losses based on the current loss margin.

There is also the food supply chain delivered by Hummingbird, which always maintains a net profit of around 50%. How can we compete with this?
In an industry most prone to competition, Qingyun does not make any money at all, and has continuously invested huge amounts of money and incurred losses to cultivate the market, just to ensure that no one dares to initiate a challenge.

Outside of the mainstream industries, Qingyun pioneered the creation of supporting industries, injecting a large amount of profits into these businesses with extremely high entry barriers, making it impossible for outsiders to easily get involved.

Because even without the constraints of an exclusive contract, competitors cannot offer equally favorable conditions to snatch customers unless they are willing to invest heavily in the market.

But this goes back to the origin of the matter, that is, Qingyun has an entire complete industrial ecosystem chain, and the loss of a single business cannot possibly affect the root cause. It has enough time and resources.

By continuously providing financial support through affiliated companies, the company maintains its basic base, and then raises the cost of competition through its advantages in other industries, forcing competitors to surrender voluntarily, otherwise they will lose all their money.

Over time, outsiders also realized that Qingyun was using its dominant market position in disguise to engage in monopoly.

But it is useless to understand it, because Qingyun happens to be in the most critical position for going overseas. As long as the overseas strategy is still being successfully promoted, the top management will need such a sharp knife to break the deadlock.

Before the knife develops self-awareness (which runs counter to the country's grand strategy) or the overseas strategy becomes a great success, the upper echelons will never allow anyone to try to destroy it.

This is the unbeatable golden body, and it is the confidence that allows Qingyun to invest everywhere. As long as Li Zehua himself does not cross the line, no one will take the huge risk to try to replace him.

Who can guarantee that the person who replaces him will have the same broad vision as him, and in most cases, will unconditionally cooperate with Yan Jing to deal with problems that the latter is not convenient to solve?
Even if it's a dog, they will be reluctant to let it go once they have raised it well, let alone a person who controls massive resources, is covered with thorns, and also represents the vital interests of many powerful groups.

It is very difficult to move against him, for example, Runhua wants to dominate the retail industry, Nandian wants to successfully go global and master the hydropower infrastructure in Southeast Asia, and China Merchants Group wants to take advantage of the trend and expand its seaports around the world.

The three major social security funds and the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission, which hold 5-15% of Qingyun's shares, will not allow the core resource shares in their hands to become worthless waste paper. Simply put, each group holds huge interests ranging from tens of billions to hundreds of billions of dollars in Qingyun, and as time goes by, this part of the value will usher in a minimum of several times and a maximum of hundreds of times growth.

Anyone who attempts to touch him will be declaring war on these behemoths at the same time.

And now there is such a stubborn guy, relying on his connections in Star City, he is used to doing whatever he wants, and looks like he doesn't take anyone seriously.

It happened that due to the location limitations of the urban area, Hunan Province was unable to allocate enough land to Qingyun in the core area of ​​the main urban area, and was forced to choose the east, southeast and northwest directions.

Nearly 100,000 mu of industrial land has been allocated in Xingcheng County (including Xingsha), Tianxin, and Wangcheng (including Yuelu) to meet the implementation of Qingyun’s next major investment strategy.

At the same time, it also lays a solid foundation for the subsequent expansion of the main urban area. With Qingyun's future investment of hundreds of billions of yuan (most of which is local supporting construction funds), hundreds of thousands of new jobs will be created in the above-mentioned areas.

Once stability is achieved, these high-quality laborers in their prime will settle down locally, bringing about a new round of demographic dividend and injecting new vitality into the future development of the entire city.

In short, the virtuous cycle has already started to run. At this crucial stage, anyone who wants to play tricks and interrupt and influence this process is simply seeking his own death.

Just after Li Zehua and the central bank governor reached a preliminary agreement and hung up the phone, the principal who was contacted in the previous round of calls came up on time at a 180-yard speed.

The inside story of how he took more than 2 million, gave out more than 10 billion, and still lacked many billions, was made public as he slowly opened his mouth.

Li Zehua listened quietly the whole time without saying anything or making any comments. After the principal finished speaking, he raised the speakerphone in his hand and said, "Uncle Zhou, you heard everything.

Now such a big shot with connections everywhere is standing at the gate of the project, mobilizing hundreds of old men and women, trying to force me to pay 2500 million RMB.

He even said that this was just the first payment and he would make me a sucker in the future.”

Then he called Liu Xiaobo over and asked him to repeat everything he had just heard. The latter did not dare to exaggerate and said as directly as possible: "I'd better play the recording. These are the other party's original words."

The governor on the other end of the phone did not say anything, but just listened quietly. However, when he heard the arrogant voice coming from the recording, he threatened to do something if he did not do as he was told.

It is also necessary to unconditionally hold a 30% stake in the high-end residential area built in Qingyun.

He spoke slowly, first reiterating the friendly cooperation between the two families in the past, and then told Li Zehua not to be impulsive, as he was currently on his way to the scene.

"...Please rest assured that we will not tolerate any small number of bad apples and will definitely satisfy you, Mr. Li!"

The governor's office was a long drive away from the project, but with green lights at six gates along the way, the convoy arrived at the site in just ten minutes.

However, Mr. Zhou did not get out of the car. Instead, he called Li Zehua over and had a brief conversation with him in the car. He then summoned the principal involved to confirm the matter.

Finally, Mr. Zhou exchanged opinions with Mr. Xu, the governor who had hurried over. Mr. Xu was furious after hearing what he said, "Whoever makes this province's economy suffer for a while, I will make him regret it for the rest of his life!"

No one understands Qingyun’s investment better than him, who is in charge of economic development. How important it is to Hunan Province at this time!

It is no exaggeration to say that in the whole 11 years, the commissioning of two major projects, Yida and BYD, alone provided nearly 300 billion growth to the Star City economy.

If all the projects agreed upon with Qingyun are successfully completed, in the next 13/14 years, it will not only boost the surrounding output value by hundreds of billions, but to exaggerate a little, Hunan Province will have two or three more Qingyuns come to invest.

I don’t say whether it can break 2 trillion next year, but even if it is 2.5 trillion, he dares to try, which will put him among the top seven in the country.

What concept?
In the original time and space, Hunan Province had only 1.9 trillion yuan, the Magic City has just broken 2 trillion yuan, and the economic leader Guangdong Province has only 5.3 trillion yuan. The arrival of Qingyun is equivalent to adding the size of a star city out of thin air, and in the future it will create larger-scale industrial clusters in the surrounding areas.

Moreover, they are all mid-to-high-end industrial chains that have maintained their competitive advantages for a long time. The surrounding provinces are keeping a close eye on them at all times, ready to compete for investment shares at any time.

At this critical juncture, there are actually people who dare to defy the will of the world and commit crimes. This is simply outrageous!
"Well, your last name is Liu, Manager Liu, right? You make this call and ask this so-called Wen San to come over and get the money right now."

After Mr. Zhou confirmed his partner's opinion, he immediately stated, "Old Xu, notify the people from the Six Gates to come over now. If necessary, you can ask W Jing (not a typo) to come over and set up control in advance.

In addition, notify the Xingcheng government to conduct a comprehensive and detailed investigation under the premise of ensuring that confidential information is not leaked. This lawless gang must be eradicated completely without leaving a single one alive..."

Mr. Xu nodded immediately, turned around and told his secretary to make arrangements.

Liu Xiaobo was almost dumbfounded, and the principal, one of the parties involved, was full of gratitude.

Upon seeing this, Li Zehua said a few words of comfort and sent Zhang Tao to negotiate. Only then did he send Liu Xiaobo, who had calmed down, away.

It means that Qingyun Group has surrendered. After being taught by several people in the project command center, it has understood that a strong dragon cannot defeat a local snake. Twenty-five million is not too much and it can be considered as a way to avoid disaster.

However, Wen Sanyi asked for 30% of the shares in the supporting high-end residential area. This was difficult to do and required someone with enough influence to come forward and guarantee it.

He also said that Qingyun was a legitimate business group that came out to make money through harmony, and was afraid of being harassed endlessly and so on.

Wen San was overjoyed on the phone, thinking that the connections behind him had played a role, and immediately said that he would immediately send someone to act as a guarantor, guaranteeing that after obtaining 30% of the shares of the supporting project, they would never bother him again.

And he came over immediately to talk it over face to face.

Faced with the huge profits, he was completely overwhelmed, and even before leaving, he arrogantly said to his left and right: "See, I have the final say in Xingcheng.

Even the most powerful person has to follow the rules when he comes here!"

His subordinates took the opportunity to flatter him, "That's right, Third Master Wen, you are so amazing, it's just like this (thumbs up), in Xingcheng, if you say one thing, no one dares to say another!"

He also fulfilled his boasting and called the person behind him. When the latter heard that Qingyun had compromised, he thought that he had played a huge role and even couldn't wait to get on the phone and asked for 30% of the 8% shares.

Although Wen San felt pain in his heart, he also knew that without the other party's help, Qing Yun would be able to kill him in minutes, so he did not refuse. After all, it was a good deal that he would not want to miss.

Others might only be able to earn one or two small goals from a small project, but Qingyun’s is different because it involves a larger-scale investment, and the cost of a high-end community is almost free for the local area.

After completing the entire project, there are at least a dozen small goals. Thirty percent is four or five hundred million yuan. He only took 20%, which is also a small goal that was easily achieved.

With the joy of having a pie in the sky fall into his mouth, Wen San laughed all the way to the project site with his men.

This is where he started his business. He never thought that any accidents would happen. He was just a rich outsider. There would be another round after this one. It would be best if he could borrow some more money from him so that he could continue to make money.

But he did not think about the fact that Qingyun’s domestically controlled financial institutions include Minsheng Financial Holdings, Xingcheng Bank, and Ant Financial Services Group, the bank behind WeChat Pay.

Even if he is short of money, it is not his turn to eat the fat meat!
After he got out of the car with his henchman and walked a few steps in a show of force, he suddenly realized something was wrong because it was too quiet around them and there was no one around.

"That's not right, where have all the people gone?"

Before he finished speaking, it was as if something had been triggered, and a large group of people rushed up from all directions, all holding rumbling guns.

Wen San was almost frightened and only had time to say, "Misunderstanding, x, ju and I are good friends~"

Unfortunately, no one listened to what he said. Three or five men in camouflage uniforms came up and blindfolded him. Then they handcuffed him and grabbed his arms from behind as if he was a chicken. They dragged him into the car and took him away with a bang... (End of this chapter)
