Winner Takes It All, Resurrection 2009

In futures trading, especially for the banker, it is extremely taboo to reveal the cards in advance, including the total size of positions held, position opening costs, profit targets, stop loss lines and other key information.

It’s just like doing business. If someone knows your costs, then their price will definitely hit the point that makes you most uncomfortable. It would be a waste of time to make the deal, but you would be unwilling to accept it if it fails.

Even if they offer you a high price to close the deal, they will definitely ask you for your permission before signing the contract. If you don't understand what they mean, then there will be no point in cooperating with you. Only when the intention is there will there be meaning.

To sum it up in one sentence, mediocrity is easy to see, while a wonderful life is full of pitfalls. Exposing your cards is like holding up a lantern in the darkness full of dangers to tell everyone, come and eat meat.

In the capital confrontation where one thought can lead to heaven or hell, if the details are known to others in advance, it would be tantamount to a complete disaster.

Because of the zero-sum game, if someone makes money, someone else must lose money. Wealth does not come out of thin air, but is only transferred between holders.

Unfortunately, Zhong Xin is now like a fish on the chopping board, waiting to be slaughtered.

In fact, even if Mr. Xiao Lu of Dingguo Insurance had not suddenly defected, with the relationship between Qingyun and Runhua, Libao, Moto and other groups, it would still be possible to find out the details of Zhongxin's investment in crude oil futures by spending some money.

It's just that it's not as detailed as Dingguo Insurance gave. After all, Chang Zhenming still doesn't have a deep enough understanding of Zhongxin's internal affairs. No matter how careful he is, he only knows from his absolute confidants.

The strictly selected trading team for long crude oil futures could not escape the attention of those interested, because the huge Zhongxin Group had never formed a strong management core in a real sense since the day it was founded.

As a group company, Qingyun brings together its subsidiaries to form a group in order to facilitate the management of diversified expansion businesses and coordinate and integrate internal resources.

Zhongxin is completely the opposite. It is more like various princes who bring money into the group. In order to maximize the benefits of the resources in their hands, they compromise with each other and create a platform that nominally represents everyone.

Normally, everyone is in charge of their own business. When their interests are damaged or a single company cannot have the whole piece of the pie, they will temporarily get together to discuss (compromise) a solution acceptable to all parties.

Then work together to solve the problem.

This also explains why Chang Zhenming, since joining Zhongxin, has been either on the way to put out a fire or at the fire scene, like a firefighter, because the headquarters has no control over the companies below.

We are all original shareholders and control extremely scarce and exclusive resources. From the management level to the specific business development, including funding sources, policy support, and profit channels, none of them are controlled by the head office. So why should we listen to you?

The root of all this can be traced back to the beginning of the establishment of international trust investment. Forty or fifty core groups each pooled their resources together to make a living, and each had different understandings and needs for international financing and international investment.

For example, the coastal areas initially focused on finding financing and sales channels to earn valuable foreign exchange. Later, this group of people split into two major groups: manufacturing and finance. If it remained stable, there would not be much problem.

After all, everyone is an old friend who knows each other well, and if there is a conflict, they can find someone to mediate immediately. In this way, they can get by and live on.

But with the large-scale return of people to the city, the situation changed. After these people who had regained their identities joined in, they were naturally unhappy when they saw that all the fat had been eaten up by others in advance.

I don't have the patience to work hard and earn money by doing real business.

Let’s talk about finance. The key is that they don’t know a word of English, let alone understand the money-making logic behind buying and selling. They know the US dollar, but the US dollar doesn’t know them.

Because I have been away from the front line for a long time and missed the first round of distribution, I naturally don’t know many foreign capital groups, and I don’t know who to talk to if I want to get in touch.

As a result, Wang Jun brought a large group of people to separate from Zhongxin and establish Libao. To put it simply, it was an internal redistribution of resources. The latecomers were unwilling to engage in real business, and they did not have the chance to make quick money.

Then go make some easy money.

What to do?

It's normal to be an international trader selling things, right?
The warehouse is filled with mountains of equipment, some of which are older than their parents. They have to destroy them because they have no money to do so, and keeping them just takes up space.

A large amount of maintenance costs have to be paid every year, and the authorities are worried about how to solve this problem.

Happening to run into this bunch of idle old men, it's really like chess meets chess, general meets talent, dry wood meets fire, and biao meets ~ cough cough.

In short, it's a perfect match. I'll give you the stuff. It doesn't matter if you don't have money for the time being. I'll pay you a certain percentage of the retail price after you sell it. Everyone will benefit. But there's one thing I want to make clear first~
Once the equipment is pulled out of the warehouse, it cannot be returned or exchanged, let alone returned.

As a result, the buyer had not paid yet, and even the purchase intention had not been reached, but the transport ship loaded with equipment had already entered the port and was unfortunately discovered by the port patrol personnel.

This led to a series of hilarious farces.

Things like buy one get ten free, if you don't buy I'll find your competitor, etc., really make me speechless. This is the first time I see a transaction method where the ship is sold and you have to buy it.

During those years, Libao Technology (later renamed Libao Group) had a good time, but unfortunately the big cat in the north couldn't get over it and went astray while practicing the Heavenly Demon Disintegration Method.

He actually killed himself. This had a huge impact on Libao's business because Big Cat sold everything, not only were the products of good quality and low price, but they also often had big discounts and promotions, such as buy one get a hundred free.

As long as you can afford the price, they will even give you mushroom fried rice.

No, there is no comparison. When I am poor and desperate, I can only secretly deliver some parcels into the desert. How can I compare to the generosity of the big cat who even spends all his family's wealth.

Now, the good days of a group of people in Libao are over, and Wang Jun has returned to Zhongxin to serve as chairman. It can be seen from this that within the Zhongxin system, there is a sense of relaxation, and the most important thing is for everyone to be happy.

Today, anyone with a little bit of ability will try their best to squeeze in and take a bite. As for who to cooperate with, it all depends on who offers the highest price. The main point is that whoever has the nai is the one.

Because of this, its interior has been infiltrated like a sieve. Normally, if the headquarters group wants to do something, it has to find the core subsidiaries to exchange interests.

It is just like if Chang Zhenming wants to take Dingguo Insurance and play a game of exchange with Qingyun Minsheng Financial Holdings, he will have to take out the Minsheng resources that will be in his hands in the future and share them together.

As for Dingguo Insurance, after it is used up, it will simply be circulated internally, depending on who offers the highest price.

However, Chang Zhenming gave General Xiao Lu a different explanation, saying that by taking over the Minsheng system and making up for the shortcomings in the development of Dingguo Insurance, there would be a steady stream of funds to provide expansion support.

Such despicable means are enough to fool a three-year-old child, but it is most suitable for fooling business tycoons. Because in Chang Zhenming's view, Dingguo Insurance and the Magic Car behind it have no choice!
If you take a chance, you may have a chance to get into the People's Livelihood Department and make a comeback.

If Dingguo continues to play badly, his future will be doomed to fail. Maybe even President Xiao Lu himself will be implicated and unable to extricate himself.

Mr. Xiao Lu did as he expected. After considering for a long time, he finally gave in after getting some promises and actual benefits, allowing the new helmsman of Zhongxin to successfully complete the task assigned by the American capital.

Unfortunately, Dingguo Insurance also has its own plans, for example, taking control of Zhongxin Bank while the chaos is going on. After all, it will help whoever wins...

"I'm convinced. The twists and turns here have completely overturned my worldview."

Lin Wenhui rubbed his face heavily, looking speechless, "It turns out that the capital game can be played this way, but what do Runhua and Libao Group want?

Dingguo Insurance is desperate and trying to survive.

But there is no urgency for these two families!"

"He Zhongping wanted to challenge Zhongxin, trying to use the latter's power to help him realize his dream of controlling Libao and growing it, because Libao was the weakest among the four families.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see the current situation clearly. Behind the rapidly growing economic boom, there are countless opportunities, especially mobile Internet business, which will lay the foundation for the next 30 to 50 years.

No one wants to miss out, and no one wants to fall behind.”

Li Zehua's face was filled with sighs. If he had not happened to have a chance to start over again, as an ordinary person, he would not be able to pick up treasures and claim them for himself in the face of a prosperous era.

But now he has sat firmly on the Diaoyutai, watching others build tall buildings, entertain guests, and fight hard for control of resources, even the big figures whose fame he had only heard of in the past.

They are willing to roll up their sleeves and fight in the battlefield. This sense of accomplishment cannot be bought with any amount of money.

So I couldn't help but say a few more words, "Zhongxin is now like a tiger, brave, but being targeted by countless hungry wolves, and crude oil futures are its biggest flaw.

Today, we know the position status, reserve size, and position building costs clearly.

Everyone was waiting for the group to take the lead in the fight. Regardless of the outcome, as long as they could hold back those people in Zhongxin who were close to American capital and prevent them from returning for help in a short period of time, the various forces hiding in the dark would be unable to resist jumping out and attacking their own targets.

Qin Xiangli of Runhua Group has set his sights on Dingguo Insurance and Zhongxin Bank. And because Zhongxin Saifu caused a big mess, the Rong family, who had fled to Maple Leaf Country, also seems to be making a comeback.

The Ye family, which has been fighting with the capital from Jiangsu and Zhejiang for decades without a clear winner, as well as Chaozhou porridge capital, a large group of capital from Macau, Hong Kong and even Southeast Asia, are all waiting to enter the market to share the spoils.

I even suspect that once American capital sees that the situation is not going well, it will jump out to compete for the market share vacated by Zhongxin.

Therefore, we must be cautious and no matter how much we emphasize our own safety, it is never too much to be careful. "

Lin Wenhui was suddenly exposed to so many inside stories that he didn't know what to say for a moment. He was not worried about any accidents happening to Minsheng Financial Holdings, which he was in charge of.

After all, there is a boss who is well prepared, and the entire Qingyun group is a huge force. The core interests of countless people are involved behind it, and it cannot be easily defeated by just one or two failures.

There might be forces that can snatch the meat from Qingyun, but it is definitely not that easy to succeed.

Li Zehua was also worried, "It's easy to start with Zhong Xin, but it's hard to stop him!
If we don't hit them lightly, these people won't learn their lesson and will definitely follow the American capital to cause trouble in the future.

If I hit them too hard, those people secretly will jump out and the situation will get out of control in an instant, causing a huge mess, and I will definitely be blamed for it.

It's not easy to take the blow from Yanjing, so we have to think of a way to have the best of both worlds."

“It’s not like there isn’t a good solution.”

Lin Wenhui thought for a moment and suggested, “In fact, the group doesn’t have much demand for Zhongxin. We have everything it has, and Zhongxin may not have everything the group has.

To put it bluntly, the reason why Zhong Xin wants to make trouble with us is that he is jealous of the resources in the hands of the group, and what the group wants is nothing more than for Zhong Xin to be quiet, stop causing trouble and hindering us every day.

So even if the main purpose of this action is not for money, it is to weaken it as much as possible and dismember some of its business control while being able to control the situation.

For example, if the shares of Dingguo Group, Zhongxin Bank, and China International Capital Corporation are removed from the HSBC board of directors, as long as it no longer affects the group's overseas strategy, the goal will be basically achieved. "

Li Zehua became interested and said, "Go on."

"If you agree with my idea, it is nothing more than two parts. First, we have to defeat Zhongxin in the layout of crude oil futures, but we can't defeat it completely, otherwise the situation will be chaotic."

Lin Wenhui spoke eloquently, with a hint of giving orders, "You see, Zhongxin has accumulated more than 122 billion yuan of long positions in the Shanghai and Hong Kong crude oil markets through 400 institutional accounts.

It also prepared more than 100 billion yuan in follow-up funds. In the Lijiaopo, London, New York, Tokyo, Frankfurt and Swiss trading markets, Zhongxin followed the American capital and invested massive amounts of funds to go long.

The international futures battle mainly depends on Ou Meng, Jiaobenji and Dongda Central Bank, and we can only play a supporting role.

However, in the Shanghai, Hong Kong and Lijiaopo markets, we can fully follow this top-secret information, make targeted arrangements, and launch surprise attacks at the same time with massive funds.

Cooperate with external short-selling forces to trap Zhongxin’s funds in one fell swoop, and then leave time for negotiations to force them to compromise internally.”

At this point, Lin Wenhui paused for a moment and continued, "In order to prevent Zhongxin from playing rogue in the Shanghai Stock Exchange and Hong Kong, we can also actively attract the proprietary departments of the five major banks and the three major social security funds to provide a bottom line.

The most crucial thing is that it will take at least one or two months for all companies to collectively enter the market to short sell. It may even take until the pound exchange rate is determined and everyone sees the result before they can make up their mind to take action.

This allows us to find out the details of the options privately held by various groups within Zhongxin. This is an obvious fact. For such a large-scale operation, the interests involved are easily calculated in tens of billions.

The company's earnings can't be put into your own pocket, so how can it be as satisfying as earning them yourself? "

Li Zehua nodded in agreement, "Pay special attention to the groups that hold hidden shares in Dingguo, Zhongxin Bank, and HSBC. Seize their money bags, and the rest will be easy."

He then said, "I've been so busy lately that I wouldn't have remembered until you told me. How is the preparation for the funds secretly transferred to Europe going?"

"Currently in Paris, more than 70 mainstream banks, including Deutsche Bank and Swiss Bank, have gathered more than $350 billion in secret funds, which are held in the name of more than 1400 funds and financial companies.

The subsequent 100 billion plus is being negotiated secretly with DBS and HSBC, and will be successfully remitted before the end of this month.

According to reports from business intelligence personnel in Europe, Wall Street hedge fund tycoons led by Soros have secretly begun to borrow large amounts of British pounds and gradually build positions in the foreign exchange market.

According to the data released by the British Treasury, the situation is probably not optimistic, because there are less than 700 billion US dollars in reserves in their treasury, once the financial foreign exchange war breaks out.

I’m afraid I won’t be able to last two weeks.”

Li Zehua was stunned. "700 billion, so much?"

“It turned out to be even less.”

Lin Wenhui was confused for a moment and explained: "Li Bancheng took a large sum of money from Hong Kong and exchanged it for pounds to invest in British infrastructure, such as tap water, telecommunications and electricity.

Six months ago, their reserves of U.S. dollars and dollar equivalents were less than 400 billion.”

"So, is it my contribution to them?"

Li Zehua didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "Damn it, no wonder the real owner of Downing Street ignored us when we sent people to contact London. It turns out he has money in his hands and is not worried!"

At first, the British never thought that American capital would attack them again. It had been 20 years since the last large-scale short selling of the pound, so they had forgotten the tragic consequences of the sneak attack.

At that time, when Europe was just established, American capital attacked the major European powers such as the mark, franc, and pound one by one. While making money, it successfully promoted the circulation of the euro, which was also a black humor.

Now, it is clear that American capital has come to suppress the European economy. On the issue of splitting up Hanscat, Dai Ying's position was not firm. He wavered and tried to get benefits from both sides, which has long made American capital very dissatisfied.

Dai Ying is also helpless. Manager Ou Meng is in a bad mood, and his family is suffering as well. Wouldn’t it be fatal if they leave the EU again?
What's more, Hans Gaul and even the Asian chickens came to cheer it up, saying that as long as American capital dared to come, everyone would take over the pound indefinitely in the financial market.

This is bound to cause Wall Street to suffer a major setback.

Whether in the original time and space or now, everyone has given it their all and has long since formed an alliance to encircle and suppress American capital. The pound is just the beginning of the energy decisive battle. Wall Street wants to defeat Britain and then use the power of a great victory to force the world to surrender.

The countries whose economies were pushed to collapse by high oil prices were unwilling to allow American capital to make demands and planned to give it a try. It happened that Hans was badly bullied and received a secret promise from Gaul and the big cat.

It's a rare moment for it to stand up and prepare for a head-on confrontation. With it taking the lead, no one is afraid anymore. After all, if American capital wants to retaliate, it will attack Hans first.

In order to cheer up Hans, the Gallic commander-in-chief, in a very rare public occasion, shouted that Europe belongs to the Europeans, not a puppet of America, and he seemed to be ready to drive out American capital.

Not only did he say this, he actually intended to do so, and he actually took that crucial step in the original time and space. As a result, everyone saw that the big cat was bewitched and confused at the critical moment.

In addition, big investors brought in a bunch of oil-producing countries to cheer, and American capital was ready to overturn the table to intimidate everyone. In the end, it won the pound exchange rate war by relying on off-market tactics, and turned to a grand strategy with the Ermao family.

Ou Meng, the big cat, and the foot basin chicken were all defeated, and then Hans the cat was taken apart and defeated one by one. Dai Ying quickly knelt down to his cousin.

The most enthusiastic Gauls were severely punished. Even Alstom, a national industrial treasure, was forcibly acquired by General Motors. Dongda, which did not have huge overseas investments at the time, just watched the fun with a smile on its face the whole time.

They also took advantage of the godsend opportunity to try to integrate internally, but unfortunately they could not escape the clutches of U.S. capital. The real estate market, stock market, bonds, and offshore exchange rates were all hit. Then the Federal Reserve frantically raised interest rates in an attempt to detonate the world.

However, the plans of American capital in this life are bound to encounter some unexpected problems, because Dongda Capital has a potential investment scale of trillions in Southeast Asia.

Who dares to give up?
In addition, Qingyun made a lot of money by getting involved in the European debt crisis, which led to a large number of pioneering financial institutions to go overseas in a big way. At this time, Dongda Capital had already eaten a large piece of fat.

There is no other choice, you must get on the bus and fight to protect your own interests! (End of this chapter)
