Chapter 706: Strength is the best pass

Chapter 706: Strength is the best pass

"What did Mr. Smith say?"

Zhongxin has been having a miserable time these days. First, it was beaten badly in industrial raw material futures and lost tens of billions of funds in one go.

As a result, the company failed to acquire Dingguo Insurance business, and the insurance and securities business of the Minsheng Group was previously lost, as well as the controlling rights of two large, comprehensive insurance groups that were taken away by the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission.

Zhongxin lost its two largest sources of funds at once.

When it comes to finance, liquidity is very important. Zhongxin Group, which lacks the necessary supplements, currently relies almost entirely on the wealth management product business sold by Zhongxin Bank (involving the replenishment of liquidity funds for the bank's proprietary department).

If Zhongxin is given enough time, it may be able to replenish the funds through normal channels. At worst, it can issue a batch of medium- and low-risk, interest-bearing bonds to supplement liquidity.

The cost is a bit high, but it is better than falling into a funding shortage. In addition, American capital has also agreed to help Zhongxin to issue an additional US$50 billion of high-interest financing in Hong Kong or New York.

But just as the arrangements were made outside, bad news came. Rong Zhijian and his family set off from the Maple Leaf Country to return to China. The American capital was not blocked. Anyone with a discerning eye could see that there would be no good news coming back at this time.

Unable to withstand Chang Zhenming's urging, the senior assistant had no choice but to tell the whole story, "Director Chang, the Rong family came back this time with complete preparations.

According to the CIA's investigation, domestic personnel had frequent contact with him as early as a year ago, and various industries under his name had also been transferred through an investment fund in Los Angeles, the United States.

In the name of investment and financial management, the funds went through a long circle in the stock market and futures market, and were then transferred to a secret account located in Lijiaopo, and the mortgage acceptance bank was Bank of America.

It is hardly influenced by Wall Street, and its base is the energy and military-industrial complex in California. The two sides are currently fighting fiercely, and neither can do anything to the other. "

Chang Zhenming interrupted impatiently, "So what? What do you want to say? I just want to ask if we can use special channels to force him to go back to Maple Leaf Country, understand!"

The senior assistant said with a stiff upper lip: "The plan to use American capital to hold the Rong family's American industry hostage in Maple Leaf Country and force him to return is unlikely to work.

Because the Rong family has signed legal documents, almost all of the related industries have been taken over by Angsa Capital, led by Bank of America. As long as we make a move, the Rong family can immediately take the money and leave.

This way, he can’t be threatened at all.”

There was one thing he didn't dare to say. The legal funds that the Rong family took out at the beginning had even increased in value through the operations of those secret investment funds in the United States. This was also the reason why Rong Zhijian was willing to come back.

Because the Qingyun Group can bring him greater profits, the key is to transfer the overseas assets to Bank of America in the name of entrusted holding, and he can get them back in the future by changing the identity of the actual controller.

After all, assets worth only a few billion US dollars, such as public investments in foreign trade companies and commercial real estate, are not considered to be particularly high-quality. Bank of America obtained them in the form of credit custody, earning 5 percentage points of return each year and keeping them for safekeeping for a few years.

By then, when the storm has passed, the Rong family may be willing to redeem it, or simply sell it to American capital. But in this case, Wall Street's idea of ​​controlling the company through this method will be completely bankrupt.

Chang Zhenming figured out the key point and yelled angrily, "They are all a bunch of bastards, so shameless. I worked so hard to help cover up the mess that Zhongxin Saifu caused!

As a result, the Rong family, who had taken the money and left without a care in the world, can now come back openly and even attempt to snatch the controlling stake of Zhongxin Bank from the group.

And I, the fire captain who took great pains to clean up his mess and helped him successfully cash out hundreds of billions and leave, have to endure an unjust accusation. Not only am I unable to defend myself, but I also have to send him off again with my own hands.

It's totally unreasonable!"

Unfortunately, there is no medicine for regret in the world. He would never dare to make public the inside story of the transaction with Rong Zhijian, because the Rong family and his background are different.

If this matter is exposed, Rong Zhijian will at most be fined three glasses of wine. If things go wrong, he may change his identity and still invest in Zhongxin Bank openly and continue to live a carefree life.

And the best outcome for him was to eat peanuts.

The gamble of the century between SAIF and Goldman Sachs was too complicated and those who knew the inside story were all very secretive. No matter how outsiders speculated, no news of it leaked out.

To put it bluntly, it was a deal reached after a game between the upper echelons and a compromise between the two parties. After all, the Rong family invested so much real money and also held a large number of overseas shares of Zhongxin Group through foreign capital.

Even without these, the contributions made by the Rong family before and after the establishment of Zhongxin were enough to bring wealth to three generations. Therefore, in the eyes of the upper echelons, when the two sides had great differences, they could not act rashly.

They simply bought out Rong Zhijian and sent him abroad as a gift. The essence of this is just like an ordinary person who works diligently all his life, gets promoted to a core management position, but finally has a disagreement with the management because of business philosophy.

In the end, the boss decided to spend some compensation, which was no different from being fired.

Logically speaking, after the money and goods were exchanged, it would be difficult for Rong Zhijian to come back, but someone needed him back and offered more, so he came back!
The senior assistant was a professional manager hired by the board of directors and also a white glove of a certain company. He knew the inside story and advised, "Director Chang, it's useless to say anything else at this point.

It is better to think of a way to overcome the current crisis first. Zhongxin Bank has a large number of foreign shadow shareholders, and it will not be easy for the Rong family to take it back.

Even if we fail to stop it, with so many large European and American companies coming forward collectively, and considering the impact, the higher-ups will not insist on going their own way, even if it means that Rong Zhijian will take over smoothly in the end.

He is also destined not to get the management rights. As long as the financing and investment channels are still in our hands, no one can cause any trouble.

Our top priority now is to fill the investment gap. Once the operating hole of more than 400 billion is exposed, no one in our entire line will be able to escape. So now we have to seek self-protection first.

Gain a firm foothold and stabilize the rear before planning how to attack again."

"How do I make it up? Tell me what to do?!"

Chang Zhenming pulled hard at his tie. When he was unhappy, the tie would squeeze his neck. It was really annoying. "I'm telling you, don't expect me to take the blame for this. I can't afford it.

It is impossible for me to carry it alone. If we die, we will die together. If I go down, you will not have an easy life either."

The undercurrents and rumors within the group made him exhausted. He was afraid that one day he would open his eyes and face the tragic ending of being pushed out by the board of directors as a scapegoat.

The senior assistant smiled bitterly and said, "If you don't agree, who dares to act on their own? But you have to think about everyone else and your own future. This is a big hole, and the people above are keeping a close eye on it.

It’s hard to get away with it without giving an explanation.”

Going long on commodities such as copper and iron ore resulted in particularly huge losses. At the same time, the things done in private, including cooperating with foreign capital through various means to empty the strategic reserves of the State Administration of Reserves, were enough to cause others to die a hundred times.

But for them, it is at most a thorny problem. The worst that can happen is that they can push someone with enough weight to take the blame, as long as it can delay the higher-ups and give them enough time to settle the account.

There is no problem at all.

After all, investing is risky and one needs to be cautious when entering the market. No one can guarantee that every investment will be profitable. It's just a hole of 40 billion yuan. Just consider it as paying an extremely expensive tuition fee.

But everyone is at a loss as to who should take the responsibility.

At the moment, the best target is Chang Zhenming himself. He has enough weight, and the network of connections behind him is very powerful. Don't forget that he was the president of one of the five major banks.

During several serious crises that Zhong Xin faced, he did not hesitate to personally coordinate relations among all parties, and ultimately controlled the hidden mines to a very small area and disposed of them safely.

His personal skills and abilities are impeccable, and the key is that when dealing with crises, he also obtains a large amount of absolutely confidential insider information. Countless people have escaped disaster because of him if he had not agreed to take the blame.

Who dares to force him?

Aren’t you afraid that someone will give up and drag everyone down with him?

The senior assistant was also helpless. After the conversation, he conveyed the news that Chang Zhenming was determined not to compromise to the shareholders. The shareholders had no choice but to not dare to force him too much.

Moreover, the layout of American capital in China was also seriously damaged after the Qingyun faction's turmoil. The Taishan faction was almost wiped out, and the Minsheng faction grew stronger, but the control was in the hands of Qingyun. The private capital led by Zhejiang Xi Capital in Jiangsu and Zhejiang was already half dead, and even Xu Xiang himself disappeared. The rest were either dead or disabled, and it was difficult to protect themselves.

Faced with such an embarrassing situation, American capital dare not stir up a massive internal dispute at this critical moment. Even if it wins, it will not help the overall situation.

If they lose, their last remaining resource will collapse as well. By then, they will completely lose the ability to influence Tokyo University. After all, foreign capital cannot directly control Tokyo University's financial enterprises.

Without financial weapons, American capital is equivalent to cutting off one arm, and the other arm has long been broken. With the rise of Qingyun WeChat Technology, Qingyun has also gained complete dominance in the home appliance manufacturing industry.

Through BOE semiconductor display panels and control of sales channels, the US capital's conspiracy against traditional radio and satellite TV stations was bankrupt, forcing home appliance companies to follow the route planned by Qingyun.

Finance and media, one is half-crippled, and the other is completely missing. The competitive advantage of American capital in Tokyo University has disappeared, and it can only watch Tokyo University's manufacturing industry rise completely.

(The previous attempt was to support Chen Tianjiao of Shengda and use the TV box project as a pretext to separate the broadcasting and satellite TV stations from consumers through commercial means, thereby controlling the traditional public opinion channels.

As a result, the radio and television directly restricted him, and Chen Tianjiao never recovered from the blow. He went to America and never dared to come back.)
By now, the dispute between the two sides has reached a fever pitch, but there is no unified opinion within America. After all, compared with the threat from the University of the East, Ou Meng's side is obviously superior.

Wall Street is also worried that once America focuses all its attention on the Pacific region, it is very likely that Europe will take the opportunity to complete normalization, a Hans that is completely out of control, and a big cat with complementary advantages.

It is very likely that Gaul will be suppressed, leading to the situation where Hans Cat will dominate the market. At that time, the entire European market will be united and will become an enemy that the United States cannot defeat no matter how hard it tries.

In this dilemma, American capital competed openly and covertly with Dongda’s capital, trying to suppress Dongda’s overall rise.

On the one hand, they dare not use too much force to avoid triggering a violent backlash from the University of Tokyo, and they even do not hesitate to get closer to Ou Meng quickly to counter the pressure from American capital, so they can only support the agent model and drag their feet.

However, since ancient times, buying bans has not been effective, and they were quickly pinned to the ground, forcing American capital to come out and fight in person. This situation is an extremely dangerous action.

If things go wrong, a fierce conflict could easily break out between the two sides, putting the two economies in a completely antagonistic state.

The American capital did not dare and could not be involved in a two-front war at this time. In order to avoid possible dangers, they had to force Zhongxin to come up with a solution as much as possible to avoid further escalation of the situation.

Under such circumstances, Chang Zhenming had no choice but to compromise and let the vice president who had followed him for many years and was appointed by him to be in charge of investment affairs after he took over Zhongxin, come forward to take all responsibilities.

Fortunately, all parties knew the priorities of the matter and did not dare to send a big shot at the deputy general manager level to jail.

If he couldn't bear the pressure in there and said a few more words, that would be the end of the world.

"I've put your plane ticket, passport, and cash in a secret compartment in the airport toilet. Once you get them, leave quickly. America has already arranged someone to pick you up.

When you go out, you should be careful in everything you do, unlike at home. "

After listening to everything silently, a certain vice president waved goodbye to his boss who had fought side by side with him and shared honor and disgrace with him in tears, and then headed straight to the international airport...

"The fish is moving, follow it."

Little did they know that the key figures were all being secretly followed at this time. As soon as there was any movement here, someone would immediately follow and pass the news back to the rear.

When Li Zehua received a call transferred from a certain unit, he was still wondering, "At this time, is he still hoping for the best?
If it were me, I would just come over and kill myself. The sooner it ends, the less guilt I’ll have. Maybe the higher-ups will let me off the hook for the sake of our past friendship and cooperation.”

A deputy in a certain unit said in a deep voice: "You won't cry until you see the coffin. You think you can shirk all the responsibilities by finding a deputy.

Haha, it's 2012 already, and this group of people are still so naive. They think that as long as the exposed chess pieces are decisively moved, there is no way to deal with him without a complete chain of evidence.

Little did they know that we had already set up surveillance a month in advance, so no one could escape this time."

Li Zehua was relaxed, "Okay, if there's anything you need my help with, such as needing his family to ask for help, or telepathic inspiration, you can ask for it at any time.

After all, there are some things that you are not convenient to deal with, I don’t care. "

"That's not necessary. I'm calling to tell you that the plan we had agreed on can be implemented."

The deputy infantryman of a certain unit followed the order and conveyed the instructions, "The superiors told me to pass on a message, whoever is responsible should be responsible, and do not try to expand the scope of the attack to avoid unnecessary complications."

"I understand. Please rest assured that we will strictly abide by all rules and regulations and will never give American capital any chance to take advantage of us."

Li Zehua certainly understood that the American investors were desperate at this point, and if they were given any leverage over Zhong Xin, they would surely jump out to support him.

Fortunately, after Rong's return, many things became easier. For example, after he went out, he still held Zhongxin's special overseas shares and was one of the well-deserved major shareholders.

Whenever Zhongxin has a big plan or a big move, it is inevitable to ask these overseas shareholders to come forward for consultation in exchange for their support. The Rong family plays a significant role in this process.

As a result, it has closer ties with external shareholders. With its mediation, it can at least attract a large portion of them that are disguised as foreign capital and whose actual controller is Dongda Capital.

This is important!

Because the initiative of Zhongxin Bank seems to be under the control of the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission, but in fact it is not the case. The situation here is very complicated. It can only be said that each force is made up of real people.

As a human being, you cannot avoid the human relationships, the connections between relatives and friends, the entanglements of worldly interests, and you will inevitably be influenced by external factors when making decisions.

In addition to the division of interests formed in special periods, when markets are exchanged for funds and technology, a part of the discourse power is also given up, so when dealing with these thorny issues.

This leaves many hidden dangers, and no one can easily erase the impact of this fact, even if most people understand the problem, they cannot be protected without the private rules of the game.

Everyone will find that nothing can be accomplished smoothly unless the situation is fundamentally changed, which takes time.

Nowadays, with the support of Qingyun Group and other capital groups that are loyal to Dongda, the upper echelons are gradually removing the hidden mines deep inside. For example, in a certain industry, the unification of heaven and earth taxes is a good start.

Now, preparations are being made to replace the anchor for issuing RMB. It seems that each measure is drastic, but the deep-seated economic structure will not be improved immediately due to the change in general direction.

After all, those groups that control the resources will not give up easily. Within the old world order system constructed by American capital, their voice is still very strong and they will not surrender easily.

American capital will not sit idly by and watch its own white gloves being easily dismantled one by one by the University of Tokyo.

Fortunately, Europe and West Asia have tied down the main forces of American capital, preventing it from concentrating its resources on dealing with the East, at least before withdrawing its main forces from the Mesopotamian Basin and the crossroads of Central Asia.

Dongda can definitely form an advantage in regional layout, and with the complete unbundling of the Five Military Governor's Office, private industry has been conducting unprecedented intensive surveys, electricity, new materials and new technologies have been applied on a large scale, and national funds have been greatly tilted.

As long as there is three to five years to absorb it, the rumbling power of Dongda will be unprecedentedly enhanced. The complete large-scale gas engine for ships taken over from Ermao's house is being produced at the fastest speed.

Newer Beidou navigation radars, new electronic equipment, and new materials production equipment are emerging in an endless stream. The decades of technological accumulation of Dongda Economy is developing at an astonishing speed.

The new generation of 6000 and destroyers, upgraded versions of and , and various big guys weighing over tons were produced in one go to solve the final shortcomings. More than a dozen models were produced in one go just to test and verify new technologies.

It is these that give all parties strong confidence!

When this confidence was passed on to the front line, it was demonstrated even more vividly. Even when faced with obstruction from American personnel who took out special passports, the reporter chose to say no without hesitation.

Then, amid the other party's angry roar, he did not hesitate to capture the target person in one fell swoop...
