Winner Takes It All, Resurrection 2009

Chapter 708: The dishes served on the table are not to be missed

He did not feel that his own group was blocking the country's destiny. He simply thought it was just the same old struggle for fame and fortune. In order to defend his personal interests, he tried to resist the development of the times.

I haven't realized the seriousness of the matter yet.

Even at critical moments, they attempt to interfere with upper-level decision-making through active lobbying, for example, by asking influential foreign multinational groups to intervene in order to influence the investment environment.

They frequently exert pressure under the pretext of damaging the sustainable and healthy development of the financial sector.

Chang Zhenming also said this at the internal controlling shareholder meeting, "It's no big deal, as long as Dongda still wants to actively embrace the world and participate in the world economic and trade system built by American capital and the US dollar.

I will never be able to leave Zhong Xin!"

All shareholders attending the meeting agreed with this statement. After all, Zhongxin Group, which rose from the capital of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, has been the most important bridge for communication between Dongda Capital and foreign capital in the past twenty years.

The earliest record can be traced back to the first generation who moved from Shanghai to Hong Kong. During the era of rapid economic development, the mainland was extremely short of foreign exchange reserves and advanced equipment and technology, and it was they who generously donated.

While constantly working between foreign and state-owned assets to help the mainland solve many development problems, these people naturally entered the core and gradually became the mainstream of the business community.

It was because of the sudden emergence of Qingyun that their further planning was interrupted. Otherwise, many areas in Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Shanghai and eastern Guangdong would still be dominated by the Zhongxin faction and its allies.

Even though it is constantly suppressed by the new capital group representing the core interests of Southeast University, it relies on the advantage of controlling the only communication channel with American capital (American capital relies on Jiangsu and Zhejiang capital to make profits and maintain its interests in Southeast University).

After a brief loss of blood, the capital in Jiangsu and Zhejiang can still recover quickly. Even a strong company like Qingyun cannot uproot it, because the upper echelons will not allow this to happen for overall considerations.

The true meaning of sustainable development is to suppress the large capital groups in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, weaken their differentiation, and then continue to rely on their special relationship with American capital to maintain the economic and trade cooperation between the United States and the University of the East without being affected.

The key lies in who holds the initiative and voice in resource allocation. It is simply wishful thinking for Zhongxin to rely on American support to establish a new structure composed of major capital.

Li Zehua realized this and took advantage of the opportunity to take ruthless actions. However, he was very sensible and never thought of fundamentally dismembering Zhong Xin because neither American capital nor the upper echelons would allow it.

The economic ties between Southeast University and the United States were still waiting for capital from Jiangsu and Zhejiang to be repaired, but now that they have been broken, American capital can no longer gain a foothold in China and will inevitably move to third-party economies ahead of schedule.

The impact on Dongda would be too bad. The day Zhongxin completely declined would be the day Qingyun was buried with it. So from the beginning, Qingyun Group decided to cut its core resources and not touch the main body.

Once the success is achieved, the pursuit will be stopped immediately, and the shadow shareholders behind Zhongxin will be won over to stabilize the multinational group on the other side of the ocean. As long as it still has excess profits in Dongda, it will be difficult for it to make a complete cut.

The bottom line is the controlling rights of Zhongxin Bank. The reason why the Rong family was asked to step in is that they took into account the family background of the founder of Zhongxin Bank.

When everything was settled, facing the huge gap in strength, Jiangsu and Zhejiang Capital could only bow its head helplessly in the face of reality and agreed to Rong Zhijian as the chairman.
But it is obvious that the Zhongxin Group has not yet fully realized the seriousness of this problem, or many people have seen it clearly but are just pretending to be confused!

Because no one will give up the benefits they have obtained, even if a knife is placed on their neck, bargaining is inevitable.

Only Chang Zhenming was trapped in the middle of a volcano. He would die if he took even a step forward or backward. In addition, there was a huge gap of 400 billion yuan, and the country did not allow insurance banks to lend money directly to financial institutions.

He didn't know what to do for a moment and could only hope that these powerful shareholders would contribute money and effort to help Zhongxin overcome the difficulties.

"400 billion, Mr. Chang, you think too highly of us."

When Chang Zhenming expressed his thoughts, someone immediately smiled and retorted, "If everyone here has this ability, there is no need to hold this meeting today.

Dingguo Insurance is such a big piece of fat meat, it only takes 220 billion to buy it, but we didn't take it. Doesn't this explain the problem very well?"

"Alas, in the final analysis, it is the Qingyun Group that is fanning the flames everywhere. The current situation is very unfavorable to the financial industry. Banks have directly taken away many investment banking jobs.

Those unsecured high-risk businesses that were previously banned are now also competing with Minsheng Financial Holdings and Micropayment, leaving us with less and less room for maneuver.

A shareholder who specializes in finance, private financing and mortgage business sighed, "Just last month, I closed down my business in Vancouver and Ningbo. Business is not good now!

The competition is too great, and I haven't gotten back the money I invested in Zhexi. In short, everything is going wrong. If I have to pay again, hehe, I will have to pay with my life."

"Boss Chang, please be more considerate of us. Following the group company's investments, we either lost everything or ended up in debt."

Soon, this tone became the mainstream of the meeting, and it seemed that everyone was not attending a meeting to discuss how to solve the problem, but to complain.

"You guys are still lucky, at least those who run fast can still save some capital. As for us who are in the business, who will be responsible for the bottom line now?

We had agreed to purchase copper products from the National Bureau of Reserves at a high price, expecting a surge in price. But now, not only has it not reached 30 or as expected, it has fallen by another % in one breath.

My money is all borrowed from each other, so if the company goes bankrupt, you can all die together."

When faced with a few people who have given up, no one tolerates them and instead starts to blame and complain about each other.

This is human nature, and no one can force it. People come together because of their own interests, and naturally they will fall into internal disputes if their interests are damaged.

Chang Zhenming felt a splitting headache as he looked at the noisy meeting hall, but before he could do anything, the door of the venue was pushed open again and a large group of uncles rushed in.

The leader showed the document in his hand and asked seriously, "Who is Zhang Yanping?"

Chang Zhenming's heart was pounding, and he forced himself to stand up. "What's the matter?"

Zhang Yanping is the chairman of the investment group under Zhongxin Group and the descendant of one of the original shareholders. At this moment, he was looking at those uncles with fear on his face. He wanted to run, but found that he couldn't move.

Without further explanation, they went up to arrest the man and handcuffed him in one go. Before leaving, the leader walked up to Chang Zhenming and whispered in his ear, "Mr. Li asked me to tell you something.

Enjoy this rare last quiet time, don't think about running, you are surrounded by our people everywhere."

Chang Zhenming's hair stood on end in an instant, and he asked sternly, "What do you want to do?"

"What to do? You know it clearly."

The man said coldly, "Hand over the controlling stake of Zhongxin Bank, and you will still be able to survive. Otherwise, hmph."

After they left, the meeting place became depressing and no one wanted to continue struggling. After all, this was too horrifying, and arresting people on the spot was the most direct signal.

The higher-ups no longer intend to tolerate this and are preparing to take direct action to force them to surrender.

"What should we do now?"

Faced with the inquiries, Chang Zhenming also panicked. After personally coming out to comfort them with a few words, he couldn't wait to go out and call the people behind him.

But no matter how he assured, no one was willing to believe him anymore, and some even advised him bluntly, "Cai Ping and Zhang Yanping were both your right-hand men, and they were arrested.

Who do you think will be next?

Turn back, tell the truth, and cooperate with the other party. This is your only way out."

Faced with the situation of being deserted by everyone, Chang Zhenming could no longer hold back, "Handing over Zhongxin Bank means that the entire group's business will fall apart. You are asking me to die!"

The other party said the same thing and immediately hung up the phone, "As long as you are alive, there is hope!"

"Hope, do I still have hope?"

Chang Zhenming sat in the office in a daze, extremely angry, but he smiled and said, "American capital, if you want to keep the Zhongxin brand, if I take even a step back, a huge amount of dirty water will be thrown at me.

But I don’t agree with the above opinion. If I continue to hold on, I’m afraid it will be difficult for me to survive this month, haha.

This is killing me!"

But he didn't want to die. How could anyone who had risen all the way to his current position easily admit defeat?

"Director Chang, please hold on. We are already looking for someone. As long as Cai and Zhang don't speak up, they won't be able to do anything to you.

Don’t worry, we will not give up any of our friends easily, and please also believe in our strength…” The American representative dismissed him with just one sentence, and anyone with a discerning eye could see that this was just a lie.

But what can he do?

Zhongxin is such a huge company, with total assets of trillions, but it cannot even take out tens of billions of cash (actually it does, but it is all in other investment projects). After the central bank’s finance department announced to tighten financing to financial institutions and entrusted financial management channels.

The financial industry across the country has been affected to varying degrees. Minsheng, which controls a huge amount of cash flow, is naturally not afraid of micropayments, but for Zhongxin, who is urgently waiting for money to save his life, it is like the sky is falling.

Zhongxin Bank is currently the only hope for the group's head office to overcome the difficulties, but with Rong Zhijian's return, all of this may come to nothing.

Chang Zhenming no longer has any resources to trade, so he is destined to swallow this bitter pill. Cai Ping and Zhang Yanping will not last for a few days after they go in.

It can even be said that Zhang Yanping was possibly betrayed by Cai Ping. Now he doesn't have much time left. This is sending a strong signal, which will be his final role.

That is to cooperate in transferring the controlling rights of Zhongxin Bank. If he can't even do this well, one can imagine the result that awaits him.

Just as I was daydreaming, the phone rang again. I looked at it and was stunned. It took a long time before I answered it.

The call was from Rong Zhijian. He did not show his superiority and sneer, but said in a deep voice: "Are you free? Come out and sit down and chat about the past?"

Chang Zhenming said weakly: "That's not necessary. What else can I bring to you except that insignificant right of advice?"

Rong Zhijian said sincerely, "Mr. Li is here too. If you are interested, come and have a chat. After all, there is no personal grudge between us. On the contrary, we still have a good relationship. No matter what, I won't harm you, right?"

"Okay, I'll think about it."

No one cares what choice Chang Zhenming makes.

Whether he agrees or not, the result will not change.

Rong Zhijian was surprised that Li Zehua suddenly wanted to see him. "Is there any reversal in Mr. Chang's matter?"

"Why not?"

Li Zehua said with a smile: “American capital can use him to contain Dongda Capital, and conversely, we can also lay mines for American capital.

No matter how powerful Zhongxin is, it is still a group company controlled by the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission. It is not the turn of American capital to make decisions.

If Chang Zhenming is smart enough to guard this door for us, even if he doesn’t cause any trouble to the American capital, as long as he stays in that position, the American capital won’t be able to reap the benefits smoothly.”

Li Zehua took a sip of the red wine of victory, and his smile became even more intense. "Besides, Zhong Xin still needs someone to help him get those high-quality chips in the Shanghai and Shenzhen stock markets."

Hearing that there was profit to be made, He Zhongping came over and introduced a new friend to Li Zehua, Jiang Tianming, the chairman of a provincial investment group.

However, he was not qualified to participate in discussions of this level. After showing his face, he immediately left the private room tactfully.

"This guy has some connections in Africa and Europe. Many people used to go abroad through the red wine line because of his connections. Now the situation is different. We also need to keep up with the times and need overseas pawns."

He Zhongping said slowly, "There are many things that are inconvenient to do. You can find him. He is absolutely trustworthy."

Li Zehua remained noncommittal and did not express his opinion on the spot, but with a look from him, Liu Ziliang immediately stood up and went to investigate.

"Can you please not be so cautious when doing things? It's really boring that you can't even recognize anyone who appears in front of you and check their family history three generations ago."

He Zhongping didn't take it seriously, and then greeted Rong Zhijian, "What were you talking about just now? It sounded like there was money to be made?

I have to help you this time. We have no money. We are so poor that we can't even raise the funds to acquire Luneng. Mr. Li, you must give us some support. "

He came here just to ask for money. The reason was that among all the core partners of Qingyun Group, Libao Group was the poorest. However, it had the Five Military Commandery behind it, so no one dared to ignore it.

Li Zehua smiled, "There's a new God of Wealth sitting right in front of you, and you're asking me for money. You've got the wrong person, right?"

Rong Zhijian waved his hands repeatedly, "I dare not call myself the God of Wealth in front of the richest man. If wealth can really communicate with gods, then you are the one who deserves to be called a god!"

But He Zhongping had to be given face, so he promised to arrange a loan for him as soon as Zhongxin Bank got the money. He was even very interested in acquiring Luneng and entering the power industry.

"We'll talk about this later. Photovoltaic capacity is being built in Shandong Province on a large scale. There are plenty of opportunities to make a fortune. No one can be missing, but you, Mr. Rong, will be missing."

Li Zehua waved his hand and continued the previous topic: "After the two major areas of banking and insurance are resolved, securities must also be weakened.

In particular, we need to cut off Zhongxin’s influence on the stock market. In recent years, it has followed the lead of American capital and has gone too far. We must re-divide and redistribute it.”

No one knows better than Li Zehua what kind of madness the Dongda stock market will usher in next. The original time and space had reached 6,000. In this life, the industry has been upgraded smoothly, and Dongda Capital has established a firm foothold overseas.

The future prospects are very good and the domestic economy is extremely active. To put it bluntly, if restrictions are lifted today, the stock market will soar tomorrow.

In the end, let alone 6,000, even 9,900 may not be able to hold the line. In addition, without an industry to serve as a reservoir to share the pressure, the central bank is destined to issue a larger amount of currency than in the same period in history.

With several favorable factors coming together, it is really just a matter of time before the price exceeds ten thousand. Qingyun cannot and will not be able to stop it. It can only submit a plan to quietly enter the market under the guise of state-owned assets.

Let the state-owned assets entrust or designate certain financial institutions to act on their behalf, absorb chips at low prices before it starts, and then sell them at high prices to earn excess profits.

Regarding the hundreds of billions of Shanghai and Shenzhen market value held by Zhongxin, more than half must be allocated to the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission and financial enterprises. As for the other half, I'm sorry, Qingyun and so many allies must take the spoils.

"Give half of it away?"

He Zhongping was very dissatisfied, and Rong Zhijian also frowned frequently. It was obvious that everyone wanted to eat one more portion.

Li Zehua was too lazy to remain speechless, because after so many contacts, he already knew these people's personalities clearly. As long as there were no obstacles, they would like to move the national treasury back home.

I just complain that there is not enough food to eat, so I am not willing to share it.

Fortunately, he doesn't have to worry about this. Those big shots in front of the stage will not allow him to eat so ugly in private. Half is almost the bottom line.

Soon, Chang Zhenming, who was forced to rush over, heard about this and sneered: "Half, aren't you afraid of starving you to death?

As for the part held by Zhong Xin, although the total value was mortgaged several times, the scale exceeded 300 billion!
Not to mention the various institutions and foreign-funded groups holding shares through Zhongxin, if you add them together, they can drown a dragon crossing the river. Do you dare to take it?"

"Who are you trying to scare?"

It doesn’t matter what kind of quarrel there is internally, but in front of outsiders, Li Zehua doesn’t give any face at all, “At most it’s 100 billion US dollars, Qingyun can take it all.

Given the current situation, you can no longer keep Zhongxin Bank. Without external sources of fresh capital, your capital chain is extremely tight, so don't even think about getting American funds from Hong Kong.

If you dare to ask, we dare to deny!
And don't even use the excuse of so-called internal disagreement or too much opposition. As long as you don't sign the transfer agreement, I will immediately smash the stock market and directly destroy the cost of your holdings.

When the time comes, I will make you lose all your money. If you don’t believe me, just try it.”

Chang Zhenming was stunned by his clear-cut statement and said with a wry smile: "Director Li, let's talk it over nicely. You just want to continue to remotely control Zhong Xin through me. Since I am willing to come.

Of course, you are sincere, so why scare me? "

Rong Zhijian's face lit up, "So, you agree?"

Chang Zhenming knocked on the table helplessly, "It's very risky. I have to take back some chips that can be explained, so that the group of people who followed me can be satisfied."

"The Minsheng Group will subscribe to a sum of the 400 billion hole, and then General Rong will make up for it through Zhongxin Bank."

Li Zehua smiled with satisfaction, "As for the market value of the Shanghai and Shenzhen holdings, let's split it in half. The group will pay and the individuals will receive. Wait for the stock market to soar. I believe that the people behind you will definitely be satisfied with this benefit."
