Winner Takes It All, Resurrection 2009

In this world, there are no eternal friends, only eternal interests.

Once upon a time, Daiying hated Qingyun so much that it promulgated a series of laws to restrict Qingyun's subsidiaries from conducting business in Daiying.

The root cause lies in the fact that Dongda Capital, led by Qingyun, has joined forces with American capital to launch a siege on Hong Kong Capital and Daiying Capital in the East.

This directly led to Daiying Capital losing its controlling stake in HSBC, and in turn losing its influence on the economic development of the University of East China. A large number of elites, including Li Bancheng, were forced to return to London.

The direct economic losses are more than hundreds of billions, and the potential profit losses are countless. You have to know that during Dai Ying's peak period, he could earn tens of billions every year just from the rental business south of the street.

Every round of ups and downs in a certain industry can reap huge wealth ranging from hundreds of billions to trillions of dollars. In addition, it can also be obtained through the Hong Kong Paper Vouchers issuance rights owned by HSBC and Standard Chartered.

As well as controlling the only external financing channel for mainland capital, whenever a mainland enterprise attempts to issue US dollar bonds in Hong Kong or apply for listing on the Hong Kong stock market, British capital can use this channel.

They made a fortune by buying shares at a low price in advance and charging high channel handling fees.

(They must give it. When the five major banks went public in Hong Kong, they also gave out cheap shares ranging from hundreds of billions to tens of billions of yuan, because if they didn’t give it, they would not be able to raise funds through Hong Kong channels.)
According to undisclosed statistics, from 1983 to 1996, Dai Ying earned more than one trillion pounds of wealth through the Hong Kong Channel. Relying on this money, Dai Ying completed the so-called privatization process.

It was with this money that the economic foundation was laid for maintaining high welfare within Daiying and updating public transportation and municipal facilities.

As Hong Kong returned to the arms of its mother, Dai Ying gradually lost many of its preferential rights and privileges. Its overall strength declined seriously and was no longer sufficient to support its continued maintenance of a special harvesting system in Hong Kong.

Therefore, Dai Ying brought in American capital and, relying on the latter's strong endorsement, continued to firmly grasp Hong Kong, the only channel for external financing in the mainland, and refused to let go.

Dai Ying's design is very clever. First of all, he does not show up directly, but hides behind the scenes to manipulate everything. By mastering the power of judicial interpretation and adjudication, he eliminates any adverse influences on him.

Then they support Li Bancheng and other white gloves in front of the stage to reap excess profits through the repeated tides of a certain industry. When prices plummet, HSBC and Standard Chartered come forward to inject huge amounts of funds into the white gloves.

Help them to complete the bottom-fishing first, then slowly wait for the market to recover, and before the price of a certain industry reaches a peak again, successfully cash out at a high level and exchange it for US dollars and send it back to Dai Ying.

Then wait for the next round of ups and downs, and repeat the same process. If there is no external force to forcibly break this process, it will repeat itself endlessly and become a monster that keeps sucking blood from the University of Tokyo.

In the process of harvesting, the best assets will be firmly controlled by British and American capital and buying groups, which will continue to harvest mainland enterprises in the form of leasing.

Dongda Capital is not unaware of the drawbacks, but there is not much they can do because the fact that it is the only window for external financing determines whether any external financing business can be conducted through Hong Kong.

They will all be controlled by British and American capital and buying ban groups, because the rules of the game are set by others. If you don't abide by them, you won't be able to get valuable foreign exchange assets, and naturally you won't be able to introduce advanced foreign technology and equipment.

Dai Ying seized on this point and continued to make trouble. Even though the mainland economy continued to grow by leaps and bounds and Hong Kong's status as a window to the outside world continued to decline, he still held on to it and refused to let go.

Ultimately, it is because various complex factors come together to play a role, such as displaying a glorious image as a window or business card to the outside world and the most important financing platform.

And along with the development of the Dongda economy, the mainland buying groups also cooperated with it. The huge wealth they obtained through various illegal means needed to be circulated out through the Hong Kong channel.

As a result of various factors, when each round of harvest tide comes, Daiying and Hong Kong Capital buy at low prices as if according to a predetermined script, and when the price reaches its peak, mainland companies will obediently take over at high prices.

Back and forth, the fruits of the mainland's economic development were stolen by this group of people like ants moving house.

There are so few people in Hong Kong, and any scraps that get from the capital are enough for them to eat and drink their fill, so much so that they completely forget where the good days came from.

When ordinary people fail to see the situation clearly and believe in the absurd talk, they find out that they have been deceived, but it is too late and they can never go back.

There is no need to mention the original time and space. In short, now with the emergence of Qingyun, winning over Lijiaopo, and reaching a tacit cooperation with American capital, Hong Kong has naturally lost its original function.

In the global strategic positioning of American capital, Hong Kong is a water pump that is always open to secretly release water from the economic pool of the University of Tokyo. Before joining the WTO, the total volume of the economic pool of the University of Tokyo was not large.

Even if the American capital is not satisfied with the speed at which the pump releases water, it can only accept it, because although the dam breaks and the water is released quickly, the problem is that there is not that much water in the pool!

Besides, if we drain the water, how can we raise fish?

Ten years after Southeast University joined the WTO, its economy began to take off, and it developed from a small pond into a big river. American capital was no longer satisfied with its position as a water pump in Hong Kong.

The main reason is that the pace of loosening monetary policy is too slow and cannot meet the growing ambitions of Wall Street at all. However, the University of Tokyo is not stupid either. It is aware of the complicated situation in Hong Kong that is difficult to sort out.

It would be free for anyone who came, so he refused to agree to open the floodgates in Hong Kong and remained unmoved no matter how the American capital threatened or tempted him.

After trying all means, the American capital became a little angry and embarrassed. In the original time and space, it cooperated with Dai Ying to dump the market crazily, but now it changed its strategy because of Qingyun's sudden appearance.

Since Hong Kong doesn't work, let's find another place. Lijiaopo is pretty good, especially since it has a special sector for Chinese stocks listed in the US. It will be no problem for it to develop and accommodate trillions of RMB.

What American capital wants is to open the floodgates. As the saying goes, flowers may not bloom if you try hard, but willows may grow into a shade if you plant them accidentally. Lijiaopo and Dongda Capital have a bad relationship, so Dongda Capital won't go there yet.

Therefore, no matter how deep Qingyun’s layout is in Southeast Asia, it will first lure Dongda Capital out, and then wait until a certain amount of RMB goes overseas, and then use its “strong” strength to take it over.

With better options available, American capital naturally cannot tolerate being held back by British capital.

How can a mere water pump on the Xiangjiang River be compared with a river with endless water resources?

So he decided to join forces with Dongda Capital and gave Dai Ying a little shock in Hong Kong.

The cousin teamed up with outsiders and suddenly beat his cousin so badly that he had a black eye and a swollen face. Dai Ying was so confused that she wanted to cry but had no tears. She didn't know who to turn to for justice.

Unfortunately, he was not as skilled as others and could only cry and be kicked back to his hometown without mercy. He cried all day long, immersed in the glorious memories of the past.

Having lost their biggest source of economic support, life became miserable, and they were almost turning into Little Britain and Northern Ireland, which were about to be unable to unite and rule the country.

Dai Ying's current environment is completely different from that in the original time and space. Without the transfusion from Hong Kong, his relationship with Ou Meng has become his biggest source of external benefits (in the original time and space, American capital used special interests from Hong Kong to bribe Dai Ying, but now it's gone).

Therefore, the forces within the UK that supported remaining in the EU gradually gained the upper hand; and the group of cousins ​​who advocated leaving the EU and integrating with the US gradually calmed down because they had no real interests to drive them.

After realizing that Wall Street was trying to force Britain to compromise by shorting the pound, and then cooperate with the US capital's global strategy to disintegrate Europe, the pro-EU faction within Britain.

A response plan was quickly put forward, and a large number of Hong Kong capitalists who had gone to Dai Ying were targeted internally. Including Li Bancheng, all of them were invited to have tea at Downing Street with one purpose: to give them money.

If you are obedient and give it voluntarily, let the Queen give you a one-ton wooden medal. Don't ask why it is not a gold medal. It's because we don't have the money.

Don't ask, even if it's not gold or silver, it would be fine to cast one with steel. Of course, it's because my country, Britain, has its own special national conditions. The steel industry is about to die out, so how can there be abundant steel?
Wood is environmentally friendly and energy-saving. You can take it or not. It’s already polite not to kill the animal and eat the meat. Why are you being picky?
Therefore, Li Bancheng and others were full of resentment, but they did not dare to lose their temper because they were living under someone else's roof, mainly because they were afraid that others would not be able to help laughing out loud.

Dai Ying actively contacted Hans, Gaul, and Jiaobenji, asking everyone to contribute money and manpower to help their brothers, otherwise he would have to support his little cousin.

Dai Ying was desperate and tried every possible means, even to the University of Hong Kong. He did not care about anything else as long as it could help it overcome the difficulties. Even when the University of Hong Kong took the opportunity to propose the recovery of Hong Kong's special rights, including the right to interpret legal documents, Dai Ying agreed without hesitation.

As long as you give me money, everything is easy.

Even Qingyun, the mortal enemy, was simply waved by Downing Street. What restrictions on business development? What impact on the national security of the United Kingdom?
This is completely groundless. If you don't believe me, why don't you try applying to start a specific business?
The speed of approval was so fast that Zhou Shouyuan, the president of the European and American business group, solved the problem that had troubled him for two or three years in just one second...

"As expected, they are a group of people who are pragmatic to the extreme. They change their attitude in a minute when they get benefits. They are even more indulgent than Germany."

Li Zehua was stunned. Before he could figure out how to negotiate, Downing Street kindly cleared all obstacles for Qingyun to enter the British market. To sum it up in one sentence, hurry up and defend the pound.

When he received the news, he had just arrived in Yanjing from Shanghai. The huge Airbus A340-300 private jet had just finished taxiing and landed, and had not yet entered the hangar for maintenance. Mr. Xie from the Finance Department, who was waiting to be picked up at the airport through a special channel, could not wait to share the good news.

Mr. Lou, the chairman of Huijin, who was accompanying the airport pick-up, heard Li Zehua's joke and couldn't help but say, "It's only when the fire is burning that we know how to be anxious. I don't know what to say about Dai Ying and his gang."

He meant that the US capital had been planning for two or three months, and Dai Ying was still calmly trying to solve the problem through dialogue, until last night, when Wall Street sold the first 25 billion pounds in the foreign exchange market.

The battle horn for shorting the pound was officially sounded, and Dai Yingcai urgently sought help from the whole world. He had been stubborn and refused to agree to a single condition before, but now he compromised on everything, which clearly showed that he had lost his composure.

Zhou Xiaochuan, the head of the central bank next to him, laughed and said, "It's better to panic. As the saying goes, haste makes waste. The more panicked, the more mistakes you make. Without the pressure from American capital, how could Dai Ying give up so many core interests in one go?"

He explained to Li Zehua, “This morning, we just received the draft resolution approved by Dai Ying regarding the introduction of Dongda Capital to participate in the investment in the sex industry. All the good things that were hidden in the past are now released.

Mr. Li, you have to prepare the money in advance. There are a lot of good things this time. Even the patented products of the two Luo engines before 00 are open to you. As long as you have money, you can get them. "

"As for the money, of course we have it. To protect the pound and prevent it from being invested in Britain, we must exchange enough US dollars for pounds to help stabilize its value."

Li Zehua frowned and said, "But I'm worried that this is another conspiracy of Dai Ying. What's the point of signing a contract if we end up with a lot of pounds that we can't spend?

Dai Ying is a notorious debt-defaulter around the world (the third brother was Dai Ying's apprentice, and his disciple is even better than Dai Ying). Even if it is written in black and white, he will not acknowledge it.

Personally, I am still inclined to use the financial system of Germany and France, using the euro as a protective shield first. Only when Germany and France promise to unconditionally buy sterling can we move forward freely.

Otherwise, once Dai Ying gets through the difficulties and turns against us, what can we do?
Don’t forget, the grievances in Hong Kong have not yet been resolved! "

The purpose of his visit was to discuss with the Ministry of Finance, the central bank, Huijin Investment and other domestic super financial groups how to plan the pound and thus curb the expansion of US capital.

Because Qingyun, HSBC, CICC, China Merchants Group and other companies strongly opposed it, and considering that Zhongxin as a whole stood on the side of shorting the pound (long on crude oil).

This does not conform to the tone of the meeting set above to go long on the pound (short on crude oil).

So Zhongxin was historically absent from this internal high-level financial meeting. It is said that after hearing the news, Chairman Chang smashed two cups in his office.

He also had someone hang up a photo of Li and used it to throw darts to vent his anger.

After hearing this, Li Zehua just smiled it off.

I asked the chairman's office to make a few dolls, and they would play with them when they had nothing to do in the office. Not only did they play with them, but anyone who came to report on work also had to exercise when they had nothing to do.

The grievances between the two families can be seen from this. They have reached the point where they are incompatible, but no one can do anything to anyone for the time being. Once there is a chance, neither of them will hesitate to kill.

The chairman of Huijinlou didn't care about these things. In fact, he shouldn't have come, but everyone knew that he was about to replace Mr. Xie and take charge of the finance department.

The purpose of personally selecting him to come and participate in the meeting was well known to everyone, because it was a joint encirclement of major global economies such as Oumeng, Jiaobenji, Dongda, Big Cat, and San Ge.

The odds of winning are great, and whoever is in charge of the command is bound to benefit greatly from it.

In particular, Hans Gaul made a public statement and took the lead in confronting Wall Street. Last night alone, the two sides had a huge transaction volume of 50 billion pounds.

(One sell and one buy, and the leverage amount is not included, it is a pure capital competition.)
Affected by the time difference between the East and the West, the pound foreign exchange market is relatively calm now. All parties are actively trying to pool and coordinate resources, ready to deal with the next huge wave at any time.

Because everyone knows that last night was just a mutual test between small vanguard forces of both sides.

And now, Dongda also has to step in and make its position clear. In order to better coordinate and utilize the resources of the participating financial institutions, the actual controllers of all parties are rarely brought together to facilitate unified command.

Li Zehua, the head of the only domestic private financial institution that received the notice to attend the meeting, arrived the last. It was not because he was showing off, but because others had already held a two-day meeting and finalized the rules and regulations before notifying him.

However, Qingyun is the absolute main force in this financial war. Out of respect for his strong strength, everyone went to the airport to greet him and also to greet the chairman of HSBC Holdings who was about to arrive.

As well as Mr. Huang of Temasek Holdings in Leekapo, and representatives from Jiaobenji Financial who came from afar, it is a joint action after all.

European cute big cat brother San Ge is responsible for the daytime battlefield in the western hemisphere, while the eastern big foot basin chicken Li Jiaopo is responsible for the daytime in the eastern hemisphere. The game is all about heartbeats, making American capital run around in a hurry and unable to take care of both ends.

"The trading team can be seamlessly connected, but the big shots who make decisions can't just stare at the market 24 hours a day, right?"

While waiting for the arrival of several other bigwigs attending the conference, Mr. Lou explained with a smile: "Mr. Li, everyone is waiting for you to put on a good show this time.

We have thought about your consideration of Dai Ying turning against us after the difficulties, but we cannot consider the problem from the perspective of pure economic benefits. We need to fully realize that.

Helping the UK stabilize the value of the pound will help the future direction of relations between the two countries and the future hard decoupling of the RMB and the US dollar. "

Mr. Lou said it very bluntly, "Even if 99 out of contracts fail, the remaining one can still give us a big advantage. Although Daiying's economy has declined, the family background is strong.

Not to mention that its soft power is the best in the world, just look at the good stuff hidden in its chest, such as polymer materials, mobile phone chip architecture manufacturing, engine technology, automobiles and ships, and aviation internal combustion engines, they are all good stuff!

The most important thing is to ease the previous tense situation and take the opportunity to enter more British private markets. Dongda's industrial upgrading is currently half successful.

However, the productivity changes brought about by this half have also brought about a qualitative improvement and leap in industrial production capacity. The increasingly huge production capacity forces us to adopt a more positive attitude.

We are determined to go out, Dongda just wants to do business, and we can wait until the right opportunity to settle the grudges in the past!"

Zhou Xiaochuan also held a similar view and chimed in, "Put aside politics and develop together. The most urgent task right now is to maintain the exchange rate of the pound and prevent Britain from falling into Wall Street.

As long as it can remain stable, any disturbance within Oumeng will not cause any trouble. If Oumeng can gain a foothold, all the energy of American capital will not be able to be directed to the East, which will correspondingly reduce the pressure on the University of Tokyo.

Only in this way can we gain more stable time for development.

We all know what you have done and we understand it. Let's tolerate each other. After all, strength is the standard for measuring everything. Without strong strength, even if you win a game by chance, you will not be able to keep the cake in your hands in the end."

Li Zehua didn't say anything, but just watched quietly as another private plane slowly landed. It was the car of Mr. Huang of Temasek, his biggest external ally had arrived.

After he got off the plane and exchanged pleasantries, Li Zehua continued to discuss this topic, and then he asked the question in his mind, "If we don't use the euro as a layer of protection, we will get too many pounds.

It is easy to cause internal passive depreciation. How do you plan to solve this problem? "

"We are considering reaching a trilateral agreement with India, Australia and other British countries for the time being. We have a great demand for India's agricultural products (cotton, rice, meat) and other mineral raw materials.

The demand for Australia's major metal minerals such as iron ore is even greater, including the oil resources controlled by Britain, and they are trying to negotiate payment in US dollars, euros and pounds at the same time.

The central bank is negotiating with Germany and France to support prices and sign a package agreement with the latter to exchange pounds for euros.

Zhou Xiaochuan said: "In fact, we don't trust Dai Ying's promise, but to show our sincerity, it's okay to suffer a loss and keep some pounds. If we don't suffer a loss, how can we enter the market?

How can you take advantage in the future if you don’t enter the market?”

After hearing this, several bigwigs looked at each other in bewilderment. After all this time, Dai Ying had no credibility in everyone's mind. Everyone was hiding something in their cooperation. (End of this chapter)
