Winner Takes It All, Resurrection 2009
Chapter 653: Divide and Strike
"…The financial industry is too big for one company to handle, and energy and mineral resources are unevenly distributed, resulting in the emergence of various sub-groups, each of which has its own territory and engages in arbitrary enclosure.
It has long become a private plot where outsiders cannot penetrate or water can penetrate.
The same goes for water and gas. A few days ago, I heard that Mr. Qin was planning to pack Luneng into a gift package and give it to you. It’s better to refuse. There are some industries in the country that you should try not to touch if possible.
The water there is so deep that it can drown a whale. There are so many industries that can make money, so why should Qingyun worry about it?
Especially the one who had been planning for eight years, but was exposed and forced to give in under pressure from all sides. Although he received more than 50 billion in compensation, at that position, the money was just a number and he failed to get Luneng.
You can imagine how resentful you are when you lose control of a vital resource that can be passed on. If you rashly step forward to take over, you will inevitably be resented and used as a target for attack."
That night, Zhang Guanning hosted a banquet at home to entertain two distinguished guests from afar, Qin Xiangli from Runhua and Li Zehua from Qingyun. During the banquet, they talked about the unexpected arrest of Lin Youwei.
Zhang Guanning frowned and did not directly reveal his past. Qin Xiangli knew the inside story but did not reveal it because even he felt that the matter was quite tricky and it was not so easy to handle it.
Li Zehua just listened quietly until Zhang Guanning brought the topic back on track, "In China, although public ownership is the unshakable foundation of the main body, individuals have long been at the management level.
In fact, they have regarded the piece in their control as a forbidden delicacy. Once outsiders try to get their hands on it or even peek at it, they will be in trouble.
For example, the Southern Power controlled by Mr. Ye and the Meng Power controlled by Xuantian Yipianyun are all like this."
"You mean, there is such a super group behind Lin Youwei?"
Li Zehua frowned slightly. If he rashly provoked such a powerful competitor, things would become complicated. He originally thought that he only needed to deal with the Zhongxin faction and the remaining forces of Chaozhou porridge.
Suddenly another family comes, which is equivalent to setting up two tables for the banquet. Now three tables of guests have come. What should we eat?
“But that’s not true. The conflict in the Energy Department has eased due to the hatred between those two people and the introduction of the investment policy for the eight major refining and chemical bases.
Even if Qingyun supports Runhua in its bid for the position of a retail giant, it will only face insignificant and scattered rivals. Ali, the power delivery vehicle behind Walmart, Intime and RT-Mart, has not made any major moves recently.
Could it be that Nandian Energy's overseas expansion has touched the roots of some people, causing them to jump out and directly challenge? "
"Yes and no."
Zhang Guanning explained: "Meizhuang is deeply rooted in Guangdong and Guangxi, and it is making a big move in its own system. Even Guodian wants to get in and take a piece of the pie. After all, it is not difficult to pull a line out from Yunnan Province.
The higher-ups have been talking about the construction of the Yarlung Zangbo and Lancang River water conservancy projects. The reason why the construction has been delayed is that there is too much opposition from the external environment, and a rash start would easily lead to conflicts.
Secondly, there is not enough demand for electricity around Yunnan Province, and the water and electricity supply in Sichuan and Guizhou provinces is approaching saturation, so the economic benefits of starting the project in a short period of time are not obvious.
But as Qingyun started to tinker in Southeast Asia, the external environment tended to stabilize. Moreover, the successful launch of the two major projects would be equivalent to grasping the lifeline of all economies on both sides of the river.
Once there is a change, whether it is water resources or electricity resources, they can become key bargaining chips in negotiations, which can be called a stroke of genius, so the higher-ups will only go with the flow and will never object.
The more territory Nandian Energy controls overseas, the higher its importance will become. Besides, Mr. Ye has also made an exchange with the higher-ups.
The higher-ups fully support Nan Dian Energy to gain a foothold in Southeast Asia, and the latter will gradually transfer the power systems of Guangdong and Guangxi to Guo Dian according to the schedule. Both sides will get what they need, and the cooperation is greater than the differences. How can there be any conflicts? "
After all, the foundation is unstable and Li Zehua can only have a general understanding of many secrets. He still has a long way to go and the tuition fees he needs to pay in the future.
"Then I am confused. Which large industry group would come together with financial and media groups to go to war against us at this time?"
"It's just a matter of two dollars!"
Qin Xiangli finally stopped watching and took the initiative to speak up to clear up his confusion, "Boss Ye wants to eat meat, but he's afraid of getting beaten, so he's instigating you and me to come forward to discuss cooperation, hoping to unify the entire legal gambling business in Southeast Asia.
If you succeed, you will get a fixed amount of additional profits of tens of billions or even hundreds of billions every year. Who wouldn't be jealous?
As far as I know, the companies behind Lin Youwei have connections and are the largest domestic dealers. You have channels and connections in Southeast Asia, but you are still talking about integrating the domestic and Southeast Asian mobile Internet.
If you succeed, think about how much impact it will have on the existing system, especially the people in Haojiang and the two-dollar system. Who will agree to it if they have to depend on you for their livelihood?"
Li Zehua understood immediately, "Fuck, these guys are occupying the toilet without doing anything, and they want to carve out a piece of territory to eat all the food for themselves for eternity. Before I even take any action, they smell the smell and come up.
Not only are you not planning to let Qingyun in, you're also planning to teach me a lesson? "
Zhang Guanning didn't know what to say, but since everyone had the same long-term interests, he could continue to stay in this position and owe Qingyun a favor, so he said in a deep voice:
"I don't know how Mr. Ye negotiated with them, but it seems that the talks broke down and they didn't reach a consensus on interests. Lin Youwei was just a pawn in front of the stage, playing a connecting role.
Defeating him would mean declaring war!
To be honest, what Mr. Ye did was not fair. The two dollars spanned the two major sectors of sports and Fuli. The interest network behind it is deeply rooted, and hundreds of billions of interests are entangled every year.
It’s a headache. In just one day, there were countless calls asking about the progress. Although no one made a clear statement, the attitude behind it was self-evident and the tendency was obvious. "
"Don't look at me, I'm still confused."
Li Zehua smiled bitterly and turned to Qin Xiangli, "What do you think of Li Bao's attitude? On the one hand, he wants to cooperate with us for mutual benefit, but on the other hand, he is secretly attacking us. Is he crazy?"
“Don’t forget that Wang Jun, the first chairman of Libao Group, was the second chairman of Zhongxin. He came out of Zhongxin and founded Libao with Lao He. The two sides have deep roots.
As the son of old He, He Zhongping could not possibly not be affected. Besides, you and Ye Jingming planned to make a big move with two dollars, especially in sports events, which are the private domain of Yutai Capital.
If you take the initiative to approach them, you will be throwing your heads away for free. No wonder they took the opportunity to attack you. Ye Jingming thought that he could get a piece of the pie by relying on his relationship with Goldman Sachs.
But don’t you think about why we should grow crops on their private plots?”
Qin Xiangli sneered a few times, "Old Ye didn't call me at this time, I guess he has already made a decision. I would be tempted too. There are hundreds of billions of dollars a year, and I can make more money than I can eat without doing anything.
Why bother to stir up a hornet's nest? Maybe they will get angry and beat him up."
"Then he can forget about going out to sea. At worst, I can contact Guodian and go out directly from Yunnan Province."
Li Zehua also got angry and slammed the table, "I am really pissed off. None of those people entrenched in Yunnan and Burma will survive. I don't believe it. I am afraid that I won't be able to get evidence even if I uproot them.
I also don’t believe that with hundreds of millions of eyes watching, who would dare to risk the world’s disapproval and continue to protect him under pressure.”
"And then, what is the outcome of a desperate situation?
Kill 800 enemies, lose 3,000 of your own, and then leave a loophole for American capital to sneak in and kill everyone?"
Qin Xiangli sighed, "Let's talk about something practical. Find He Zhongping and Mr. Yu. They have deep connections with the group behind the two dollars. Twenty years ago, Mr. Yu was the general manager for them.
As long as they are willing to come forward to mediate, you can give a share of the two dollars related to sports, and take a share of the mainland fuli from the other side, and the negotiation should be successful. Isn't it good for everyone to be happy?"
After that, he added, "Don't try to promote the connection between China and Southeast Asia. The impact is too great. The CEOs also have to take care of the reactions from all parties. Don't make things worse."
Li Zehua knew the inside story, but he still tried to push forward some things even though he knew they would not produce any results. Even if they failed, it would be good to use them as bargaining chips in exchange for progress in other areas.
But he couldn't swallow this anger. If any group made a move and he kept quiet, wouldn't anyone be able to climb over his head and show off his power in the future?
"Lin Youwei, you can't let him go!
Instead, we must continue to dig deeper. If we don't fight the people behind him, I will not be able to sleep well in the future. Negotiations can be carried out at the same time. Qingyun's reputation is not something that anyone can step on without being punished. " Qin Xiangli was relieved as his voice fell. He was really worried that Li Zehua would not care and go to war with the group behind the two yuan. That would not be a simple mess.
Rather, it is an early decisive battle that affects the entire financial industry. No matter how strong Zhongxin is, it cannot escape the scope defined by the words "international credit investment".
Although there is strong support from foreign capital, there are also many internal competitors. Qingyun and Zhongxin compete with each other, and there are many financial institutions behind them to support them.
However, if a full-scale war breaks out with the forces behind the two dollars, not only will large groups such as Libao be implicated, but more groups hidden behind the scenes will also go to war with Qingyun.
By then, Runhua, ICBC, the Central Bank, Magic Investment and other groups whose interests are completely tied to Qingyun, plus the related parties behind them, will be forced to fight back. It will no longer be a fight between a few companies, but a big melee that affects everyone.
No one has a way to retreat. They can only fight through the sea of blood and mountains of stone until one side is unable to fight back. No one dares to imagine how many people will die in the meantime.
"Boss Zhang, this is your territory after all. You can't complain no matter who blames you. It was you who arrested Lin Youwei. It's better not to bother two people with the same thing. So please come forward and clean up the mess.
Nail him, produce a complete chain of evidence that no one can refute, and once he opens his mouth, things will be easy. After all, no one will risk provoking a full-scale dispute to save a group that stands on the wrong side at a critical moment. "
Faced with pressure from his allies, Zhang Guanning had no choice, because the future development of Guangzhou was completely tied to Qingyun and Runhua, one was a core manufacturing industry, and the other was a retail service industry. He could not refuse the will of the two carriages.
Moreover, as Qin Xiangli said, it happened right here, and countless eyes were watching.
Helping Qingyun to deal with the trouble with thundering means, Qingyun and Runhua, who have freed up their hands, will naturally return the favor. With hundreds of billions of real money invested, everyone will benefit, so naturally no one will gossip.
With a reason that could be explained to both his superiors and subordinates, Zhang Guanning no longer hesitated. In front of the two of them, he directly called his subordinates and instructed them to strictly follow the rules.
With clear orders, the people below were no longer worried and began to increase their intensity. Lin Youwei was nothing. He was not even among the top 100 in Guangzhou, although he had a powerful background.
As soon as he entered, he opened his mouth to make a phone call to report the situation. The names he mentioned were more famous than the last. Even the Deputy Governor of East Guangdong made a special phone call to the front line to convey the signal.
But it was of no use. As the controllers of the two powerful groups, Qingyun and Runhua, made up their minds, the most tragic ending would be waiting for Lin Youwei.
But Lin Youwei had no idea at all. Even though he was taken in by a prostitute from another place, he was still extremely arrogant. He lived in a luxurious single room and all his daily living treatment remained the same.
After all, with his position and a strong background, almost no one dares to take any action until the situation becomes clear. Who knows whether this guy will be able to get away with it in a few days.
When he was not being interrogated, he could still light a cigar after meals, and even occasionally communicate with the outside world through people around him. He had no sense of being trapped in a cage.
Except that he could not leave the guesthouse, there were almost no restrictions. Compared with him, Cai Taimei's life was not so wonderful. Although they were locked up together, he faced high-intensity treatment.
But even so, Cai Taimei still had fantasies, because through someone who knew him, he knew that Lin Youwei was also here and was not restricted. There was too much information conveyed, which made people imagine a lot.
So, he had been pretending to be dumb since he came in. When faced with questions, he couldn't explain anything clearly and didn't understand. When he couldn't deny it anymore, he pretended to be sick and cried out in pain, trying to delay time and give the people outside a chance to act.
But everything changed when Zhang Guanning made up his mind to make a breakthrough on them.
Seeing someone coming in, Lin Youwei smiled nonchalantly, "I said, can you save some time? Are you annoying? If you have that time, you might as well let me out earlier.
Otherwise, call Xiao Liu over to help me out. "
"Haha, Mr. Lin, you are so elegant. Since you have this request, we cannot but satisfy you. After all, you are the one that the higher-ups have asked to be taken care of, and we cannot let you suffer any injustice."
Unfortunately, what made the team leader speechless was that the other party did not hear the sarcasm in his words at all, and actually thought that his activities outside had worked, and that these people could not do anything to him and were ready to let him go.
He was happily preparing to go out and enjoy a delicious meal, but after taking a few steps he realized something was wrong, "Not here? Going somewhere else?"
The leader of the team smiled and said, "This is an internal guesthouse. How can it be worthy of you? Besides, Xiao Liu can't come in, right?"
Lin Youwei thought it was right, so he got into the car with great anticipation. However, as the car moved, he realized something was wrong. "Aren't we going to the hotel? Why are we going to the suburbs? Did we make a mistake?"
"You're right, we're going to the Yangcheng Governor's Office. Your crime has been exposed, and you're still dreaming."
As the boss's voice fell, Lin Youwei was stunned. After a long time, he struggled violently, but it was useless. As the convoy entered the heavily guarded high-walled compound, Lin Youwei was completely panicked.
However, the team leader did not lie to him. Xiao Liu was really here, but he was no longer a tool for him to play with, but a witness to identify the criminal.
The other party was originally a small figure who wanted to get ahead by clinging to others. Cai Taimei and Lin Youwei were both taken down effortlessly, and it was extremely easy to break through her psychological defenses.
As she spoke, Cai Taimei could no longer bear it. He knew that this was a sign of big moves from above and it was meaningless to resist any longer, so he began to confess the truth.
Lin Youwei collapsed all of a sudden. Although he usually put on a cynical and dissolute appearance, he was very clear about the process. The other party dared to enter the Governor's Mansion, which clearly showed that they were determined to take him down.
At first, he refused to admit it and threatened that if he escaped, he would make everyone pay for it.
But as his entire family came in one after another to reunite, he became completely panicked. Only then did he realize that he had encountered a serious operation, but it was too late...
Because at the same time, Li Zehua called Ye Jingming, Qin Xiangli called He Zhongping, and Zhang Guanning called the Governor of East Guangdong, and everyone was taking action.
This is no longer a simple case of Zhongxin cooperating with foreign capital to launch a tentative attack at the level of public opinion, but rather an attempt by a very few individuals to provoke a head-on collision between the two major groups.
Behind each side is a huge super group that covers the sky and the earth, and the two sides have cooperated on many projects. There is absolutely no reason for them to tear each other apart and decide the winner.
Just as Li Zehua emphasized when communicating with Ye Jingming, "Lin Youwei is just a pawn pushed out by some people to forcibly muddy the waters. I don't care what you talked about with the Tianzun family.
In short, I admit that I thought too simply and ignored the interests of my friends. But when facing a powerful enemy, there is no need to start a quarrel among the people. The right way is for brothers to unite against the enemy. Yanjing is watching us all the time.
If the other party really wants to fight, I will fight to the end, but you are so unkind that you don't even tell me the truth in the middle. Do you still regard me as a friend?
Or, do you plan to cooperate with American capital or go overseas on your own?"
"No, it's a complete misunderstanding."
Ye Jingming smiled bitterly, "It's difficult for me too. Over the past 20 to 30 years, Nandian Energy has worked closely with Zhongxin and Goldman Sachs, and we have made progress and retreated together on many things.
It is almost impossible to complete the cutting smoothly in a short time. Besides, you also know that some things are not as heavy as a pound. "
Li Zehua sneered, "Haha, didn't you say you were fearless? Who knows if you were just kidding me?"
"It depends on who has the evidence. Zhongxin Goldman Sachs, either one of them can make me suffer. Give me some time to deal with the hidden dangers. One week at most. I will give you a satisfactory answer in one week."
"There's no point in going off topic. You must know the inside story of this incident. Hand over the complete chain of evidence first. Once these clowns are defeated, we can talk about it later.
By the way, it’s up to you to decide how much you should pay for the trouble you caused this time.”
Faced with Li Zehua's relentless pressure, Ye Jingming could only nod and agree. After all, he was the one who negotiated the two-dollar matter. Now that such a big mess had been caused, he had to take responsibility...
