Winner Takes It All, Resurrection 2009

The American capital acted quickly and signed a fund management agreement with Zhexi after only three days of inspection.

With the help of Wall Street resources, Zhexi Capital quickly selected three target stocks in the stock market and made targeted layouts in copper futures.
“What is the probability that several major copper exporting countries such as Chile, Peru, and Congo will have problems at the same time?”

Dongda is in short supply of copper. Among the most important metal raw materials for industrial upgrading and industrial manufacturing, iron ore, copper, gold, aluminum alloys, and other bulk raw materials are always indispensable.

Any slight disturbance in the external import channels would be noticed by the State Reserves Bureau and Qingyun Economic Data Collection Department, which were always paying attention and immediately sent personnel to negotiate.

At the beginning, only a few companies delayed delivery under the pretext of equipment overhaul and normal mine maintenance, but as more and more related companies announced reductions in production capacity.

The situation inevitably escalated.

Mr. Li took a trip from Qiantang to the mountainous area in southern Jiangxi, accompanied Shen Wanyi on a tour, invested several hundred million yuan to expand the local primary processing industry and accommodate more employment. He received a lot of praise before returning to the Magic City, where he had just rested for a few days.

Being forced to go to work and leave the comfortable life, one can imagine the accumulated resentment.

As soon as the meeting started, I couldn't help complaining: "Everyone, I am also a normal person. It has been more than six months since the first day of the Chinese New Year. I only took three days off, and I have to go to Singapore, Malaysia and Thailand to work at the end of July.

Can't you just let me live a few days in peace?"

"Boss, I don't mean to bother you, but this matter has such a bad impact, involving dozens of multinational companies in several economies. It's beyond my ability to handle."

Gu Shijie was very embarrassed. Lin Wenhui and Yang Zhichao were in Yanjing and Singapore respectively. Yu Li often traveled back and forth between Hong Kong and Shanghai. She could handle the company's internal affairs, but not foreign affairs.

All the problems of the company are currently piled on him alone. When he suddenly encounters a major problem that could affect the overall strategy, he dares not make decisions on his own.

I had no choice but to bite the bullet and force my boss to wake up from his vacation.

Someone who was planning to go fishing in the afternoon was extremely speechless. He then glanced around the conference room and pointed out a guy who didn't care about anything and said, "Mr. Sun Tongyu, please tell me."

Sun Tongyu, who was thinking about new ideas for e-commerce overseas expansion, was stunned. "Me? The import and export of this copper mine is not my responsibility!"

"Can you be more shameless? Haven't you received your salary from Qingyun Trading Company?"

Li Zehua was almost angry to death and wanted to throw the cigar in his hand.

Sun Tongyu is almost being wrongly accused to death, so does he really have to work just to have a title?
It's not his fault. Qingyun has more than 600 direct subsidiaries covering all walks of life. For example, Pinxixi e-commerce, which Sun Tongyu is mainly responsible for, belongs to Qingyun Retail Business Group.

Sun Tongyu himself also serves as the president of the head office's business group. There are many subsidiaries under this business group, such as the IKEA supermarket chain and Xiaoyao Cola, which was officially launched in towns and villages.

Businesses such as Burger King are mainly related to marketing, and even import and export trade are included, because Qingyun’s overall positioning of itself is not a production-oriented enterprise, but a comprehensive platform.

A platform that integrates various resources in the industry, expands the scale of centralized procurement and enhances bargaining power. For example, for copper mines, Qingyun will first negotiate authorization with the State Reserves Bureau and the commercial department.

After obtaining the permission, we will discuss the purchase scale with the relevant foreign companies, mainly to facilitate price reduction and save money (Qingyun has foreign exchange and many industries abroad that can help optimize and reduce the cost and risk of the procurement process.)
After being imported, it is sold at a fair price to the State Reserves Bureau, foreign-related commercial departments, and specially designated state-owned enterprises. This part of the transaction is denominated in US dollars. Qingyun is responsible for its own profits and losses and bears the responsibility and risk of transportation.

(The country also has other procurement channels, Qingyun is a supplementary channel.)
When Qingyun's industrial chain and friendly companies need copper, they will use RMB to purchase a portion for their own use on the basis of fair price supply. Don't be bothered by the trouble, because strategic materials such as import and export copper are required.

They have been included in the unified management system of the state, and there are not many companies with import and export qualifications. If Qingyun cooperates with state-owned enterprises, it will inevitably leave hidden dangers, and it cannot even obtain the purchasing franchise rights.

Private manufacturing companies also had no objections, because after Qingyun took over centralized procurement, costs were greatly reduced. Even if they increased the price by 15-35% when buying from the State Reserves Bureau, it was still much cheaper than buying from state-owned enterprises.

The State Administration of Reserves will not refuse. Who would refuse a large-scale and stable supply channel at a low price?
It is precisely because all three parties are profitable (related state-owned enterprises: Who feeds me peanuts?) that the business can last and the importance of Qingyun can be reflected.

But now there is a problem at the source of procurement. Qingyun can no longer sit still, and Sun Tongyu, the nominal president, is also suffering.

"But I can't control any of the people in charge of the procurement negotiation channels. Who doesn't know that their backgrounds are more surprising than the other?"

Sun Tongyu was about to cry, and said aggrievedly: "Either they are descendants of some big bosses, or they are industry tycoons with special rights abroad. They can't solve it, what can I do?
I don’t know anyone in Chile, Peru, or Congo that you mentioned.”

Use individuals who have access to special resources, both at home and abroad, to complete seemingly impossible tasks, and then pay them huge commissions reasonably and legally based on the proportion of funds saved.

Money makes the world go round. This is an open secret within Qingyun's top management. Everyone just puts their name on the list and gets some benefits, and usually turns a blind eye.

The best that can happen is that the private channel relationship network will gradually become the company's exclusive channel imperceptibly and naturally. Those who come to work also know that this bowl of rice cannot be relied upon for a lifetime.

But who can blame Qingyun for being willing to spend money and knowing how to adapt to changing circumstances, and for ensuring that partners can get a good price for the resources on hand within a limited time? In this way, everyone is happy and no one can blame others.

If nothing unexpected happens, as this model develops, Qingyun will theoretically be able to establish relationships with the vast majority of companies and individuals in the world that have core resources and build long-term friendships.

But now that problems have arisen, the executives who were just figureheads and receiving salaries will inevitably be blamed.

Li Zehua was too lazy to listen to his explanation and asked, "When doing business, no one can guarantee that there won't be any accidents, but can you explain why most contracts are supplementary agreements?

For example, the copper mine purchasing cooperation agreement with Chile has a basic quota of 25 tons this year. What does the ±8.5 tons at the end mean? The company has already issued a notice on this.

Shouldn't we take advantage of the good external environment to stockpile basic strategic materials on a large scale, especially gold and copper, scarce precious metals? Why did we still sign a supplementary floating agreement?

Now people have made it clear that they cannot complete the production capacity of the floating agreement, and there is not even the most basic binding force. Is this how you convey company decisions to your subordinates?
Damn 25 million US dollars in compensation, oh, 8.5+25 suddenly became 8.5-17, who can make up for the shortfall of tons?

And Peru, we have always had a good relationship with it, and Congo, what is wrong here?"

Sun Tongyu was in a dilemma, but Hu Zhiyuan next to him stepped forward to explain: "Chairman, this copper mine purchase may be different from other purchases, and the seller actually has more advantages.

In particular, there are bad practices such as mutual bidding among internal purchasers of Dongda, which makes the company's procurement negotiations more difficult. Other enterprises are dissatisfied with the company's interference and often create obstacles. "

Hu Zhiyuan controls most of the transportation resources and has some knowledge of the inside story of the related industry, so when he comes forward to explain, everyone can accept it.

As his words continued to deepen, Li Zehua finally understood and asked, "± positive and negative values ​​are adjusted according to the annual demand for copper usage, but the lack of binding force is also a problem.

What's the use of 30 million? But the copper mine sellers are not worried about reducing Qingyun's purchase quota. Will we buy from other places next year?"

Sun Tongyu smiled bitterly and said, "There are not many companies in the world that can meet such a large purchase volume. They are clearly targeting us!"

"Mad, are you bullying me?"

Li Zehua was determined not to tolerate this. "Boss Yu, please contact Zhou Shouyuan right away. I remember that his family is a shareholder of several copper mines in Indonesia. Try to get some copper back.

Lao Gu, contact Yang Zhichao and ask him to go to Malaya in person to check out the company's mine in Malaya, which is expected to produce 15 tons of copper per year. Why hasn't there been any progress in two years?"

Wu Yibin listened for a long time and did not stop the conversation. He just watched the fun with a smile. Li Zehua glared at him several times, but he kept saying that there was no hurry and that the outcome would be clear after the person finished the call.

Li Zehua was speechless and had to wait patiently for the result.

Unexpectedly, before he finished the call, Yu Li handed him the phone that was being used. As soon as he answered the call, Zhou Shouyuan on the other end of the phone couldn't wait to say, "There is a pusher behind this.

I am trying to get information and will report to you as soon as I have the result. At present, I only know that someone is buying up large quantities of copper in the international market, and all my copper stocks have been reserved."

Li Zehua felt increasingly uneasy, "What do you mean?"

“It is initially suspected that someone wants to use key minerals such as copper and iron to force Dongda to compromise. As you know, more than 60% of the world’s copper is currently purchased by Dongda companies.

If we cut off this key material procurement channel, no, we don’t have to cut it off completely, we only need to slightly affect it, causing panic buying in the market, and we can make a lot of profits from it.”

Zhou Shouyuan then added his own judgment, "Wall Street lost hundreds of billions of dollars in the pound exchange rate war, so it is natural to find a place to make up for it. Copper is the most direct way to reap the benefits of Dongda."

Li Zehua was silent, then he thought of something and said, "Don't hang up yet."

After that, he picked up his phone and called the head of the Development and Reform Commission. He briefly reported the problem and asked, "Director Zhang, if I remember correctly, it was mentioned at the meeting at the end of May. We need to increase the country's relevant strategic reserves. At that time, a portion was allocated to Qingyun. Is this the procurement target for this year?"

Zhang Ping said in a deep voice: "Don't worry, I will immediately organize a thorough investigation and find out the national copper reserve data. What do you think now?"

“I can’t get involved in Chile for now, but in Peru, I remember there is a port under construction and the cooperation between the two sides is very harmonious. I hope the National Development and Reform Commission can come forward to organize a trade delegation.

It would be best if we could set off as soon as possible and contact the original owner through local channels. It would be best if we can negotiate. Even if it costs a little more, we must make up for the shortfall.”

Li Zehua's face was gloomy. "As for the Congo channel, I will find other ways to solve it!"

"Okay, once we have finished investigating the situation, you can come to Yanjing for an interview."

Zhang Ping's tone was relatively calm, but the next words made Li Zehua completely unable to hold back, "You'd better prepare for the worst. I've heard some unverified news recently.

The purchasing data of key raw materials such as copper by many manufacturing companies in Jiangsu and Zhejiang has soared in recent times. I originally thought it was normal economic growth demand.

Now that I hear you say this, something seems a little off. This doesn’t seem to be a simple economic demand, but rather a demand for special interests.”

"I understand. Thank you Director Zhang. Keep in touch. Goodbye."

Li Zehua hung up the phone, immediately arranged for Liu Ziliang to come in, and told him to send someone to investigate immediately.

As the saying goes, misfortunes never come alone, and blessings never come in pairs. Just as the copper stocks in Indonesia were pre-ordered, Yang Zhichao received even worse news: "The Malayan Copper Mine was blocked from production by the environmental protection organization.

It is said that the local flora and fauna are seriously damaged. Under international pressure, the local government has decided to suspend the mining license, and the copper ore that has been produced cannot obtain export licenses. "

"This is clearly aimed at the domestic copper industry chain!"

Li Zehua first set the tone, and then said: "You go find Li Yilong immediately. You must contact the Malayan commander-in-chief today. I want to talk to him in person. Go quickly."

After solving this problem, he called He Zhongping of Libao Group in front of everyone and asked, "Are you sure you can control the people that Lu Wangda trained here?"

He Zhongping was puzzled by the question, but he still answered: "Basically no problem, but what do you want to do?"

"Nothing, just dealing with some disobedient gou."

Let me quickly explain the situation. "This is not just a problem for me, but a problem for the entire domestic copper industry chain, upstream and downstream, whether it will be blocked.

Give me your attitude, whether you support me or not, if not, I will go to Libao Group and China Merchants Group in person, and then ask the Five Military Commandery to intervene."

He Zhongping knew the priorities of the matter and said in a deep voice: "You tell me what you want me to do, but are you sure? What if there is a misjudgment?"

“Chile alone has 17 tons, Peru and Congo are close to 15 tons, and with Malaya, Qingyun has a shortage of more than 40 tons. What about the whole country?
Do you think Wall Street will seize this golden opportunity?

If we don't solve the problem at the source, then anyone can take advantage of me in the future. I don't have the habit of kneeling down to others. Just tell me if you can help me!"

Faced with the demands of his core allies, He Zhongping could not bear the pressure. Dingguo Insurance was not yet in his hands, Zhongxin Bank had not changed its owner, and Runhua and Libao were still counting on Qingyun's strong support.

So he agreed to discuss the matter with the Five Military Commandery and prepare for the worst-case scenario.

"You've heard it all. Hurry up and figure out what's going on. Find out whether Wall Street is trying to take advantage of the situation to make a profit, or if they have other motives."

Li Zehua picked up the phone, which had not yet been hung up, and said to Zhou Shouyuan, "Let your family contact the mining companies in the industry as soon as possible. As long as there is any inventory, I will take it all."

Zhou Shouyuan said: "Okay, I also know some European companies here, and we all have good relations. I believe they are willing to accept Qingyun's friendship. I dare not mention more, but 100,000 tons can still be solved."

"Okay, I'll wait for your good news."

After everything was arranged, Li Zehua glanced at the venue and said, "Mr. Gu, thank you for hosting the next meeting. Mr. Sun and Mr. Wu, please come to my office and sit down.

Also notify Ma Jun of the Overseas Special Affairs Office that I need to speak to him."

After saying that, he left a group of executives behind and went straight back to the office.

As soon as he sat down, he said to Sun Tongyu: "Just punish him according to the rules.

In addition, starting from today, you will arrange someone to be in charge of the Pinxixi business, and focus your work on the retail business group.

In addition, domestic and foreign channels must be firmly controlled by the company. Look at what happened this time. The company only received the news after the other company terminated the contract.

How passive it is, who knows how much damage it might cause."

Sun Tongyu, who was hit hard and then entrusted with an important task (previously he was just a figurehead, but now he is the de facto person in charge of the relevant business), naturally had no objection and was so happy that he couldn't wait.

"The appointment notice will be issued later. Please listen here and give some reasonable opinions."

After Li Zehua finished speaking, he looked at Wu Yibin and said, "The facts have proven that you are right. Even if we risk being criticized in the future, we cannot relax our focus on intelligence work."

Wu Yibin sighed, "If possible, who would be willing to take the initiative to be a bad guy?"

Sun Tongyu was listening quietly nearby, and the more he listened, the more frightened he became, because two people were talking about how to gradually build an information security network covering all business channels, mainly by Qingyun Electronics, WeChat Technology, and Qingyun Big Data.

In a nutshell, any user of QingCloud products will have their important calls, files and other information secretly monitored and collected...

Sun Tongyu was completely confused. "Who am I? Where am I? Why am I hearing this?"

In the past, the most we collected was consumers’ personal preferences and consumption habits, but now even their underwear is included?

However, Li Zehua was fed up with being led by the nose. The trip to Yanjing gave him enough confidence. He had the endorsement of relevant departments at home and could cooperate with local authorities abroad.

Don't be afraid if something happens, just suppress it. Everyone is playing this way anyway, so who is afraid of who?

Fortunately, Ma Jun's video call came early and did not let Sun Tongyu speak, otherwise he would not know what to say. After the establishment of this information collection system, it will definitely strengthen the company's overall control over the market to an unprecedented level.

Once Pandora’s box is opened, who can guarantee that it will not be abused in other areas?

Li Zehua didn't care about him at the moment, and directly ordered Ma Jun: "Let the people in South America, Africa and Southeast Asia move.

Find out who is setting a trap for the company, and all the data and information of these people, including their families, their hobbies, their current positions, and if they refuse to cooperate.

You must make a detailed plan and bring it back with you, including what actions to take, what consequences will be caused, and how to get out of this situation. You must report it to me in person and in person, and you must not let anyone else know about it.

Do you understand? ! "

As his die-hard fan, Ma Jun certainly had no objection. He would do whatever the boss said. Even if one thousand or even ten thousand people had to die to implement the plan, what did it have to do with him?

Anyone or any group that stands against the boss and the company is an opponent that Ma Jun must eliminate. He firmly believes that only dead enemies are good enemies.

Wu Yibin didn't care either, because Qingyun was fighting for the national interest. Only children can distinguish between right and wrong, but in the world of interests of adults, there is only a difference in stance.

Winning is right.

If you lose, you are evil.

The big data analysis business he is currently doing is to make it easier for the country and the group to win. He is already prepared to take the blame if something goes wrong in the future... (End of this chapter)
