Winner Takes It All, Resurrection 2009

Chapter 697: Fantasies at the End of Time

The actual situation is more serious than reported.

The buying ban capital, which has no way to retreat, is determined to use all the tricks it can to launch a counterattack at all costs, intending to survive and turn defeat into victory.

As long as they can hold on to this battle, American capital will then launch targeted attacks one by one on the key resources needed by the University of Tokyo around the world.

By then, the exhausted Dongda will inevitably have to make compromises to avoid greater losses, and it is impossible for American capital to completely cut off Dongda Capital's channels for purchasing supplies.

After all, those groups within the American capital that control resources do not want to cut off trade with the University of Tokyo, they simply want to make more profits.

If the price is too high, the major companies in the East will inevitably reduce their overall purchasing scale. At that time, who will they sell the excess raw material production capacity to? It will be a waste of money, so American capital needs to strike a balance between price and scale.

We must also try not to over-stimulate Tokyo University. If such a huge economy really goes all out to drag the whole world down with it, the crisis would be ten or even a hundred times more serious than the 08 financial crisis.

It can even drag down the Sita Capital along with it.

Therefore, the bottom line for US capital to buy ban capital is to act within the rules of the game, try not to let the other side get hold of the fatal handle, and at the same time delay the National Reserve Bureau and Qingyun as much as possible.

An unavoidable accident occurred on a major highway, with several large trucks blocking the east-west road. It is time-consuming and laborious to clean up the area. It is normal that it takes time, right?
Afterwards, they found a few scapegoats to take the blame and at most fined them a little, which wouldn't even be considered illegal. After all, the law has never stipulated that accidents cannot occur while driving, so no one can find fault in this way.

When temporary line failures occur at small and medium-sized railway stations, personnel are arranged to work overtime to inspect and eliminate hidden dangers, while ensuring that high-speed trains carrying passengers run smoothly. Who can blame them?
It is an industry practice to stop freight but not operation, because freight trains move slowly and often need to make temporary stops at small and medium-sized stations to avoid high-speed passenger trains passing behind.

We can't let tens of thousands or even more passengers give way to Qingyun to transport the copper ore, right?
This is the busiest railway artery in the country and the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei railway hub!

There are hundreds of trains going north and south, east and west every day. Who would dare to take responsibility if they really stopped? As for Qingyun's copper, it's not for saving lives. It shouldn't be a problem to delay it for a few days, right?

As for the few days gained, international capital took the opportunity to launch a final offensive in the copper futures market, either to completely reap Dongda Capital or to change long positions to short positions and arrange a retreat.

After all, there are only a few days left before the physical delivery date of July futures, in which both bulls and bears have invested heavily. If Qingyun goes smoothly, the National Reserve Bureau will be able to raise enough copper.

Could it be that international capital is really going to buy up a large amount of copper resources that can be easily purchased for a small amount of money at the current sky-high price?

With tens of billions of dollars in interests at stake, it is not surprising that Phoenix decided to block the copper transportation channel. It only takes one or two days of luck to capture an important suspect.

If you are unlucky, three or five days of hard work may be in vain. Who can guarantee that you will catch it?
Besides, it does not affect the normal travel of ordinary people. It is just an extra inspection procedure, which will only delay one or two minutes. As long as Qingyun’s copper cannot arrive at the delivery area on time, it will be considered a success.

As for why Phoenix City would take the risk to cooperate with American capital, Jiangsu and Zhejiang capital and go against Qingyun Group, it is just like asking why finished copper should be stored in Phoenix City.

God only knows!
In short, all the local methods are within the scope of the rules of the game. It is a coincidence that anyone who asks opens the door for it. It is a coincidence...

"Mr. Li, this?"

Director Liao, the Economic Investigation Officer sent by the Six Gates Headquarters, made several phone calls in a row, but the responses he got were all excuses and evasions. Knowing the seriousness of the matter, he did not dare to make any decisions on his own.

Even the one who sent him here reminded him implicitly not to go too deep to avoid getting into trouble.

Li Zehua looked up at the sky. Phoenix was an industrialized city after all, with chimneys everywhere. Even when the sun was shining brightly, the blue sky and white clouds were still not visible. One could only vaguely see the rising sun hanging high in the sky.

He smiled and said, "I can't eat hot tofu in my heart. Mr. Liao, just wait and see. I don't think the opponent only has these few tricks. Maybe there will be bigger excitement soon."

After that, he called Zhang Tao to his side and said, "Let our people spread out and not attract special attention from outsiders.

In addition, you must ensure that you have smooth communication with the outside world at all times, understand?"

Zhang Tao nodded silently in agreement and immediately went downstairs to arrange for the people to disperse.

The deputy chief of staff from Jinhai was now livid and trembling with anger. If you got closer, you could hear him growling in the phone: "This is simply lawless.

What on earth do they want to do! This is a shameful betrayal, and they should immediately send someone over to deal with it seriously and rectify the law.”

I don't know what was said on the other end of the phone, but the deputy chief of staff gradually calmed down. However, his pale face completely betrayed his extreme fear at the moment.

"Chief of Staff, drink some water. It's not worth getting sick from anger."

Li Zehua handed him a bottle of mineral water and at the same time reached out to pull him up inconspicuously, "It's going to rain, and you're going to get married. There are some things and some people that we can't change.

Why not just take a look here and see what kind of wonderful show they can put up when they build a tall building to entertain guests and set up a stage to perform.”

Stimulated by the cold mineral water, the deputy chief of staff finally came back to his senses and smiled bitterly, "Director Li, I'm afraid you will be disappointed. All the delivery channels are blocked. They came prepared!
Lian Jinhai, oh, I am completely helpless now. People can leave, but these important materials can only be detained here. I really can't accept this!"

He was well aware of the importance of these 27 tons of copper to the upcoming battle between bulls and bears in the futures market and even to the future development of Dongda's manufacturing industry. However, his influence was insignificant and his words could not influence the overall situation at all.

"It doesn't matter. It's just a little copper. I won't feel bad if I lose it all."

Li Zehua pulled him to sit in a cool place, "As long as everyone is fine, there is hope. Besides, the more anxious they are, the more necessary it is for us to stay here.

Only when you are anxious will you do everything to save the relationship and expose your flaws. Maybe this is a good thing. At least it allows us to see clearly who is the enemy and who is the friend. "

"How else could you have achieved such great business success? I can't compare with your mentality. I really have to admit that I am inferior to you."

The deputy chief of staff sensed his calm attitude, and his fear subsided by more than half, but he couldn't help but worry and said, "Director Li, I have something unpleasant to say, you shouldn't come at this time.

I have personally seen many gamblers who lost their last chip. When they are desperate, they can do anything. As the saying goes, a gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall. What if something happens to you?

I am to blame for all the consequences.”

"It doesn't matter. Since I dare to come here, I have made sufficient preparations. I am not afraid that they will not jump off the wall in desperation, but I am afraid that their fox tail will not be exposed."

As soon as he finished speaking, Liu Ziliang hurried forward and said in a deep voice: "Sir, people from Phoenix City have arrived and are confronting the guard at the storage area."

Li Zehua smiled and stood up and said, "Okay, we've finally come this far. I want to see what these people can do."

After walking a few steps, he turned back and called the deputy chief of staff who was standing there in a daze. After he caught up, he patted his shoulder and said, "The people below are just asking for food, there is no need to let them resist.

If you encounter someone who is brave and ruthless, just step aside and put your own safety first. "

The deputy chief of staff was dumbfounded. "What about the copper? One truckload costs millions."

"Money is just a possession. If it's gone, it's gone. I'm a money-minded businessman. When I come to someone else's place, I have to abide by the rules set by them."

Li Zehua laughed and clapped his hands, "Let's go, it's a good opportunity to meet these local thugs and see what gifts they have brought to our doorstep. Maybe we can even get some unexpected rewards."

Director Liao, who was keeping an eye on the situation, immediately ran up to stop him and said, "Director Li, please forgive me. If anything happens to you again, I won't be able to explain myself."

From the moment he stepped into Phoenix City, he was actually completely involved in this matter. No matter whether the subsequent handling results were favorable or not, he could not expect to get away safely.

If Li Zehua encounters any more accidents, it won't be as simple as taking off his hat. He might even be buried with him.

As for following the original order and immediately commanding the reserve forces outside the city to rush in and clear the area, he did not dare to do so. After all, he did not dare to move a single soldier before receiving a clear order.

Li Zehua did not force him. After all, the current pit was too shallow and the big shot hidden behind the scenes had not made a move yet. What was the point of catching a bunch of small fish and shrimps in advance?

So he dragged him to the gate to see what was going on.

There are a lot of people coming from Phoenix this time, and it can even be said that they are out in full force. That's right, hundreds of thousands of tons of copper are stored here. If it weren't for the base camp, how could they dare to feel at ease?

Now it is a life-or-death moment. A group of people who have gotten on the train and are going further and further away, and who have completely lost their way, can only bite the bullet and come forward to resist, winning a chance to catch their breath. Let's see how the US capital and Jiangsu and Zhejiang hot money behind them are pressing forward step by step to regain the initiative.

If we lose, the situation can't get any worse than it is now.

So these people played their trump card as soon as they came up, "This is an economic dispute, and there are only 15 tons of copper belonging to Qingyun in the warehouse, why should it all be sealed and transported away?

This has greatly damaged the interests of our local, law-abiding businesses, and now, in accordance with clause xx, we have been ordered to enter the storage area and supervise our 12 tons of copper.

Please open the door and do not obstruct our normal work."

Mr. Liao looked coldly at an acquaintance who had greeted him with a smile a day ago. He knew that even if he wanted to hide now, he couldn't.

He forced his way to the front and said in a cold voice: "Who dares? Anyone who takes a step forward and interferes with normal work will be arrested immediately."

If the relationship is completely broken off, he will not be able to bear the responsibility, but he allows people to rush into the storage area and seize control of 27 tons of copper, which will in turn affect the entire situation. In that case, even if he has ten heads, they will not be enough to chop off.

What's more, the victim is watching him from behind. If he dares to retreat, Qingyun will not let it go. Even if something happens to Li Zehua here, it would be really despairing.

He was already regretting not calling for backup immediately, but the other party would not give him the opportunity now. If he made the slightest move, he suspected that the other party would kill him without hesitation.

But his duty did not allow him to retreat even a step. "Mr. Ding, please don't go too far. You are only the person in charge of Phoenix. Do you dare to disobey orders?"

"Excuse me, this hat was given to me by my superiors. Now they have informed me to supervise you to follow the rules. You can take the 150,000 tons that are yours, but you must keep the rest."

One of the team leaders sneered and expressed his opinion, but he seemed not very confident, and compromised: "Boss Liao, this is Phoenix City after all, everyone who comes here must give some face.

Why are you doing this? You just need to make way so that everyone can save face and give an explanation to each other, isn't that enough?

Why bother to resist? It's not good for anyone."

Seeing that Mr. Liao had no intention of backing down, he immediately took out his phone and dialed the contact person he had prepared long ago. After saying a few words, he handed the phone over and said, "The person behind us wants to talk to you."

Mr. Liao had no way back and didn't dare to answer the call. No matter how the other party begged, he just pretended not to hear it.

Seeing that he didn't answer, the other party got really angry and threatened: "If I can't handle the problem this time, you will deal with me when the problem comes. I thought it through before I came, rather than let my whole family suffer together.

It’s better to fight your way out!
This is Phoenix City! If you don't want to live, don't drag me to death with you. You didn't answer that person's call, but you should have listened to Bu Li's, right?"

As he spoke, he pressed another number and put it to his ear after the call was connected. Mr. Liao closed his eyes, his mind was in a mess, and he couldn't hear a word.

The other party was almost in despair, and the expression on his face changed wildly. Finally, he gritted his teeth and said, "We have everything. Listen to my orders and prepare to forcibly clear the area!"

"You are so impressive. I thought you were the boss here."

Li Zehua, who successfully caught two big fish, knew that if he didn't come forward, he would most likely be accused of murder, so he stepped forward without hesitation.

At the same time, with Zhang Tao's order, hundreds of licensed security forces emerged from all directions. Now, the balance of power at the scene changed significantly.

"So it's Mr. Li. But what are you planning to do? Do you know that you are playing with fire? Before anything bad happens, let them retreat. I can still pretend I didn't see it.

Otherwise, don't blame me for being rude."

The other party was just stunned for a moment, obviously he had known that Li Zehua had arrived. After all, it was hard not to attract attention with such a conspicuous convoy.

Maybe the decision to break up this time was intended to target him, but the other party was not stupid either. It was not difficult to get rid of a Qingyun chairman on his own turf.

But how to deal with the revenge of the entire Qingyun faction, regardless of the consequences, is a fatal problem.

Those behind him naturally wanted to kill someone with a borrowed knife, but when it came to the actual executors, who would dare to take the lives of their entire family and gamble on a losing game? !
No one is a fool. The other party immediately took a step back, but the madness in his eyes still made people tremble with fear. After all, he made the decision on his own and seized the fatal handle to legally and reasonably kill the chairman of Qingyun in front of him.

They are two different things.

"I'm timid, please don't scare me. Look, everyone has a license and they are outside the safe area. At most, they are just watching the fun. This won't violate any rules, right?"

Li Zehua didn't even look at him, and even took the initiative to lean over to take a look at his phone. However, before he could open his mouth, the person on the other end decisively hung up, leaving him no chance to lose his temper.

"Tsk, after all this time, this is it?
Either you find someone who can handle the situation, or you will just have to watch me take away all the copper from the storage area."

The other party's face turned pale and blue, and finally squeezed out a few words from between his teeth, "Even if you can get out of the storage area, you can't leave the Phoenix City area.

Now any way out must be checked. I can guarantee that not even a fly can fly out. Why bother continuing to fight when both sides will suffer? "

Being pushed to the front, he had no way out, but he could take a relatively gentle path, such as exchanging Li Zehua's concession, "Mr. Li, you are a wealthy man with a net worth of trillions.

We would welcome you any other time you come to Phoenix, but this is the only case where we ask you to be gracious and give us a chance to survive. We can discuss anything else."

Li Zehua sneered in response, "It's not that simple, is it? You guys have a way to survive, so I deserve to be the scapegoat and bear the loss of several billion dollars?"

"So that means we should die? There is absolutely no room for negotiation."

The other party gnashed his teeth and said angrily: "It was you who jumped in to cause trouble. How can copper futures have anything to do with you? Who are you to get involved in everything?

Everyone was making money, reaping the benefits of international hot money and individual investors, but Qingyun had to put on a disgusting face, saying, "You are not a god, you cannot help everyone."

It's not too late for you to stop now. As long as you give us a way out, we can keep out of each other's way. Otherwise, it will be difficult for you to get out alive today.

I won't touch you, and I dare not touch you, but think about it, among these people I brought, is there anyone who would take the opportunity to kill you?

If you want to blame someone, blame yourself for offending too many people. You don't walk into heaven, but you rush in when there is no door to hell. "

He thought his threat would work. As long as Li Zehua showed the slightest fear, he would seize the opportunity and force the latter to back down by threatening his life.

As long as the current troubles are solved and the people are sent out of the country, he will take care of the rest. With the accumulation of so many years, he can at most go home to take care of the children.

American capital and hot money from Jiangsu and Zhejiang dare not give up on him, otherwise what will people in the world think?
As for whether Li Zehua can leave Phoenix City alive, that is none of his business.

Unfortunately, Li Zehua didn't believe that he dared to do it in public, and even provoked him further: "I say, is there a possibility that they are not my security team?

For example, if they are from the Five Military Commanderies, what are you going to do?
You are stupid, but I am not. Would I dare to come without being fully prepared?
Also, why don’t you make a phone call and ask the person who is directing everything behind the scenes? The meeting in Yanjing is almost over and the results should be out soon.

If you count the time, there might be some unexpected surprises."

The other party was stunned and could not utter a word for a long time. Li Zehua took advantage of the situation and snapped his fingers. Those security guards who seemed to be watching the excitement but were actually trying to seize the starting point of the assault, revealed their identities one after another.

The other party was completely terrified by this scene. He knew very well what the consequences of this failure would be, so he took out his mobile phone and called the person behind the scenes directly.

"The arrow is on the string and must be fired."

With just such a casual remark, the person behind the scenes immediately hung up the phone, without even telling him a word about what was happening around Phoenix.

General Liao sensed the smell of gunpowder in the air and reacted immediately. He brought a few trusted men forward to cover Li Zehua's slow retreat, while calling on the team around him to move forward.

Together with the Qingyun "security" who were always ready, they attacked from the front and back, surrounding this group of people in the middle, ready to deal with any emergency at any time.
