Winner Takes It All, Resurrection 2009

Chapter 729: The sky fell down and Qingyun supported it
Increasing or reducing production is always an issue that oil-producing countries cannot avoid when facing a surge or plunge in international oil prices.

Big investors were no exception. Faced with Wall Street's request, Salman could not refuse.

However, in the face of demands from traditional American capital, Dongda Capital, and European and American countries for it to cooperate in increasing production and to make public statements on the production share negotiations among oil-producing countries at the end of the year.

Salman also did not dare to refuse, because traditional Europe had a great influence on West Asia, and it was not possible for American capital to completely replace it in a short period of time, not to mention that the Qingyun Group, representing Dongda Capital, personally came forward to mediate.

However, Salman took a shortcut and said that increasing production was acceptable, but only when the Big Cats and other oil-producing countries such as Venezuela and Persia made the same choice, would the big producers choose to follow the strategy.

"You know, the mold is stationed here. If only our side adopts a confrontational strategy, it is very likely to be retaliated by the mold."

Salman would never joke about the fate of the economy. Li Zehua was prepared for this answer. "What if Shell and Chevron are willing to cooperate with the production increase?"

Salman's face slightly changed, and he was a little unconvinced. "Shell may agree, but Chevron, I'm sorry, I don't think it will make such a choice after investing huge sums of money in shale oil projects and recovering huge costs."

"Shale oil is not the choice of the California consortium, but a burden imposed on it by Wall Street. Compared with the export cost of $3-10 (per barrel) for large producers, shale oil at up to $45 is basically uncompetitive."

Li Zehua shook his head and said, "Everyone knows that the long-term high oil prices have placed a heavy burden on the development of the world economy. Almost all economies have complaints, and it is impossible for large companies to survive independently without leaving this system.

At present, it is just the conflict between the United States and Europe, which temporarily masks the conflict between oil-producing countries and energy importing countries, making it seem that you can continue to maintain the game.

The accumulated conflicts will eventually explode, and believe me, that will not be the result you want to see. Even big investors may suffer from unfriendly prying eyes from all sides. "

He then went on to say something like the retaliatory actions being discussed privately by the economies, which might be so serious that even the full-time Arabic translator of the University of Tokyo's foreign affairs department was shocked.

They did not dare to copy it directly, but confirmed it again and again before telling it to Salman.

The latter does not mind, because the high oil price maintained above $130 at this time has made energy-importing countries suffer, especially economies such as China, Europe, South Korea, and White Elephant.

Although they are able to obtain some low-priced energy supplies through long-term agreements and friendly economies, many small and medium-sized enterprises in the country are beginning to be unable to withstand the high energy costs.

The high costs of operation brought about by these companies will inevitably lead to major problems in the internal development of their economies once they begin to go bankrupt on a large scale. Therefore, the urgent situation forces them to take action.

The same is true for Dongda. Although Qingyun has some oil resources from Southeast Asia, the majority of it still has to be purchased from the two oil companies, especially Qingyun's intelligent logistics network.

Tortured by high oil prices, transportation costs have surged, resulting in continued expansion of losses for industrial chains such as Qingyun Agriculture and Pinxixi, which are highly dependent on convenient logistics, so a collective action against oil-producing countries has been launched.

It was carried out quietly with everyone's tacit understanding.

American capital is indeed powerful, but there will always be times when it will be humiliated and retreat. The oil-producing countries that are now following behind it to drink and eat meat are certainly happy when they make money, but in any industry other than energy.

At this time, they are all being jointly targeted by various economies, and investigations, restrictions, and refusal of business cooperation have become the norm if large companies continue to maintain their production reduction policies.

Then, big investors had better pray that US capital will never abandon it, otherwise, if other economies seize the slightest opportunity, they will not hesitate to throw it into the abyss.

Salman was not unaware of this trend and was deeply anxious, but without Omen's protection, he had not yet gained complete acceptance from Wall Street at this critical moment (because the issue of the $200 billion protection fee was not reached).

He didn't dare to make any big moves. Once there was a change, not only would the economic interests of the big customers be in danger of being lost, but he himself would also be implicated.

After he openly spoke of his predicament and re-emphasized that large investors could only adopt a follow-up strategy, Li Zehua tried to find a new breakthrough, "for example, Dongda could come forward.

We provide credit protection for big customers in East Asia and Southeast Asia. We are temporarily unable to provide any help to places a little further away. If we have this guarantee, plus the friendship from traditional European Meng.

In today's world, there are probably not many countries that can continue to threaten the economic security of large countries."

Salman asked, "Can we sign a formal agreement?"

Li Zehua looked at him suspiciously and said, "How is that possible? Dongda has always been accustomed to low-key development. We can't expose ourselves directly under the nose of Wall Street, as you said before.

The strength of the University of the East is not enough to directly compete with the mold. Of course, if you can get the formal guarantee agreement signed by Ou Meng, perhaps the University of the East will consider changing its current neutral position. "

What a joke, Wall Street is pushing to maintain high oil prices, and the whole world is suffering. Didn’t you see that Ou Meng is about to roll his eyes and Jiaobenji is about to die? Why should Dongda be the first to do so?

I'm sorry, but a great country has a strong foundation. At worst, we can just grit our teeth and hold on.

As for the chicken in the basin, don't expect it to jump out and take the lead. It will have to bear the consequences for Europe and the United States. Anyway, this is not a big deal if it falls out with American capital.

"If Ou Meng and I reach an agreement, then Dongda will also compromise and be friendly to the big households, just like it secretly cooperated with the big cat, right?"

The intelligence gathering work of various economic entities is not to be underestimated. No matter how careful Li Zehua was, he still contacted the Big Cat K Fund through JD.com and got in touch with the emperor of the time.

The news that a preliminary agreement had been reached on the supply of cheap energy to the Big Cat East was deliberately leaked by the Winter Palace and was immediately noticed by major economies around the world.

Li Zehua was very annoyed about this!

Let it be leaked, Big Cat's credit is just so-so anyway. But why mention Qingyun? It's just a small private enterprise. Can't you name the two oil companies that signed the contract and stamped their seal?
Anyone can see that the emperor's move is intended to cooperate with American capital to put pressure on Ou Meng. It is an old tradition. It is obviously more in the interests of the big cat to collude with Ou Meng, but it refuses to do so.

I don't know where Big Cat's deep-rooted love and admiration for American capital comes from. In short, Big Cat is going further and further on the road to death. No wonder Hans made several key decisions.

He would rather risk his own internal injuries to teach the big cat a lesson. In the end, he watched the second cat change color without agreeing to be completely bound to the big cat. This was also an excuse to break it down and then rebuild it.

After all, Oumeng's manufacturing industry is also one of the best targets for squid capital parasitism. Hans and Gaul have also formulated many long-term strategies after normalization.

Li Zehua thought about it again and again, and finally nodded, "Of course, but the premise is that Ou Meng takes action first, and Dongda will act only after seeing enough sincerity."

He was also afraid that the big European companies would play a double game and come up with a framework agreement but not implement it, specifically to trick Dongda into coming to the front and competing with American capital, although the American capital's strategy of focusing on Europe first and Asia later is difficult to change.

But what if?
Although Minnan capital has been weakened, its foundation is still there. As long as there are no problems with Yutai Capital in the United States, it will always have a chance to make a comeback.

What if Squid Capital feels that letting American capital and European capital consume each other and that it is too difficult to suppress European capital and complete a new round of parasitism? It will instead attack Dongda in advance and then join forces with White Elephant.

What if we use immigration to quietly control Ou Meng?
So there is no need to take risks. In short, the current situation is that Dongda is waiting for Ou Meng to make the first move, and as for the chicken in the basin, it depends on Dongda's attitude.

European and American capital were fighting in the energy market, and Dongda tried to mediate while taking ruthless actions. Jiaobenji was ready to follow suit, and Baixiang, of course, would choose whichever option was more advantageous.

Everyone has their own ulterior motives and is waiting for the other party to take advantage of the situation for the overall benefit. No one wants to become the main target of US capital attack. The key is to see who can hold on internally.

Obviously, Ou Meng has the most say on this issue. Hans Gaul has no problem for the time being because of its strong background. Daiying is originally an energy exporter and can make money even with high oil prices, so there will be no problem at all.

But Italy, Greece, Spain, Spain and Eastern European economies will not have a good time at this time, especially the Eastern European countries. Except for a few that have a good relationship with the big cats, most of the others are forced to enjoy the "happiness" brought by high oil prices.

Not to mention the mess of domestic economic development, the country has also experienced years of negative growth, which has been welcomed by the whole world. If it continues like this, it will be like selling underwear with a bowl in its hand.

Salman tried to ask for details, "I wonder what kind of sincerity is needed to make Dongda follow quickly?"

"At the very least, Hans needs to make a clear statement and Big Cat needs to publicly announce its cooperation." Li Zehua pointed out the most critical node without hesitation, "In other words, Gaul needs to make a clear response to the Alstom incident, such as imposing sanctions on General Motors."

During his visit to the big investors, American and French capital continued to clash in the international capital market. Not to mention, Gallic capital, which has the support of most of North Africa, has a strong foundation.

It has been fighting back and forth with Wall Street in areas such as foreign exchange and bonds, and has not been at a disadvantage at all. However, the Gallic government is too soft.

Shortly after the U.S. Aeronautics Commission announced its crackdown on Airbus and the U.S. Commerce Commission announced its strict review of capital from Gaul, something that shocked the whole world happened.

Even before Ou Meng could react, for example, Airbus was not Gaul's business at all. If you dared to sanction Airbus, Ou Meng, who still had great power at this time, would dare to sanction Boeing.

If American capital dares to take action against Alstom, Oumeng can launch an antitrust investigation against General Motors, especially in the fields of communications and the Internet, and Oumeng has already taken countermeasures.

It has launched investigations into companies such as Microsoft, Apple, Google, and Qualcomm, and issued huge fines.

Unexpectedly, the old problem of the Plain White Banner was repeated. While fighting fiercely in the front, they were busy signing a compromise agreement in the back. Finance Minister Ma, who was in charge of the signing, even argued that the first punch of American capital must not be let to hit Gaul.

Then they turned around and sold Alstom. Fortunately, the American capital did not find any fatal handle on Alstom, so they only gave up a large piece of market benefits to General Motors.

Instead of doing as in the original time and space, Alstom injected all its assets and technology patents into a new company and jointly operated it with American capital, with the latter holding 80% of the shares.

It was no different from directly annexing Alstom. In order to save face, Gaul finally pulled out all his strength, jumped up and punched the American capital hard on the knee, forcing the other party to back down.

It cannot be said that his logic is wrong. Gaul is indeed unable to fight against American capital alone. Ou Meng came forward to help Gaul, but he also had the ill intention of allowing Gaul to continue to consume the strength of American capital.

By then, when both sides are defeated, Ou Meng, led by Hans, will be able to take over the vacant markets of the two companies effortlessly and feast on them.

But the problem is that Gaul is one of the five permanent members of the UN Security Council after all. In order to preserve its strength, it has even thrown away every last bit of its cards. It is no wonder that Ou Meng, whose on-paper strength is comparable to that of the US, is in a difficult situation.

In actual confrontations, they always seem to have the upper hand, but in the end they are beaten badly.

Everyone was trying to conserve their strength and let their teammates take the brunt of the damage, so it was inevitable that they would be divided and defeated one by one.

Li Zehua never had any expectations for Ou Meng. As long as they can follow the established script and attract some American capital in the next two years, they can buy the necessary time for Dongda Capital to grow and develop.

As for the future, they can do whatever they want, even if it means joining forces with American capital (almost impossible), Tokyo University will not be afraid of fighting one against two because the alliance is like a pile of loose sand.

No matter how strong they are, a slap can make a few people cry. They are not as threatening as Hans or Gaul who become powerful alone. 1+1+1＜1, this is what I mean.

It's like American capital attacking Gaul. If Gaul really wants to resist and has many external allies providing potential support, it will take at least ten or eight years for Wall Street to suppress Gaul. However, Gaul is afraid before the battle even begins.

I always feel that I am taking the blame for other European economies, so I compromise easily. Who can I blame?

Salman didn't feel anything, because the big households were not strong enough to participate in the real game. They only saw the European and American capital was powerful, so they just had to pay homage to the big brother, and the big brother would consider the rest for them.

Its turn to cooperate with Southeast University is also based on comprehensive considerations for the future. After all, Southeast University's rise is obvious to all, especially after the initial completion of industrial upgrading in 2011.

In the fields of semiconductors, lithography machines, high-end manufacturing, industrial robots developed based on 4G, shipbuilding and engines, and materials, Dongda Technology has begun to experience a boom.

Judging from international patent applications alone, the growth rate of the University of Tokyo far exceeds that of any other company in the world. This is the tremendous power of successful industrialization. Today, Southeast Asia and the University of Tokyo are rapidly approaching each other.

The foundation for a regional superpower has gradually taken shape, and no one can ignore the opinions of such a large economy.

The actual deal was basically done on the way from the airport to the palace. In the subsequent formal talks, both sides basically read from the script and there was nothing exciting.

However, Li Zehua could not help but complain about the royal reception dinner. They were really rich. Even the floor tiles were covered with gold inlaid with gems.

To sum it up in one sentence: rich but inhumane.

After the end, Li Zehua played with the rare treasures and gadgets given by the wealthy royal family. After his men carefully checked the residence, Li Zehua said to Liu Ziliang, "Is there any progress on the matter of the Chiefs Alliance?"

"The personnel recruited by Bab Tie and North Africa have arrived one after another, but if we want to contact and influence the upper echelons under the noses of European and American companies, I'm afraid there is still a long way to go."

Liu Ziliang was not optimistic about the Chiefs Alliance. "Chairman, it is human nature to seek benefits and avoid harm. The benefits offered by Europe and the United States are too many and too beautiful, and there is also a behemoth like the White Elephant.

I'm afraid it will be difficult for us to reverse the situation with our own strength."

Li Zehua pondered for a moment, "The layout of the master must be accelerated. In addition to sensitive heavy equipment, other forces such as self-defense should not be reluctant to send in.

The most important thing is to start with young people and directly form a rumbling formation that suits our interests. Only by thoroughly mastering it can we make it block the key traffic artery of Hongyang.

Aren’t Europe and the United States planning to support the alliance of sheikhs and block the oil transportation channel? Okay, you don’t leave either. Isn’t Dubai planning to become the financial center of Asia? Let it go.

Let it do its thing and we play ours, and no one should indulge anyone else.

In addition, the layout in Somalia must also be accelerated. As for those who talk nonsense, they should be dealt with immediately. Don't wait or delay. Even if they are destroyed, what difference does it make?

The people are already extremely poor, and now it's broken down. Even if the production capacity of Dongda is reduced a little, it will be enough for the local people to live a god-like life. Don't be afraid to spend money, don't be afraid of this and that, if something really happens.

At worst, I can retreat. Do Europe and America dare to chase me home and beat me up?"

Liu Ziliang was silent. He could clearly feel his boss's impatience, but there was nothing he could do. He graduated too late from Tokyo University, and the good territories were basically occupied by Europe and the United States, even those marginal areas that no one cared about.

It has also become popular with the entry of Tokyo University.

The idea of ​​Europe and the United States is very simple. They own the most fertile land in Africa in terms of output ratio, and with the resources harvested locally, they can fight with the University of Tokyo for a long time.

The territory occupied by the University of International Business and Economics has a high input-to-output ratio. Once it is dragged into a war of attrition and bleeding for years, the University of International Business and Economics will naturally not be able to bear it and will be defeated. At that time, it will be natural for them to take over the resources that have been constructed and make a big comeback.

"Okay, some things don't need to be said explicitly. I know what you think, but is there really a way out of this situation if we take it slow?
If we leave everything to time to solve, then who will solve time?

If we don't deal with it today, we won't be able to shirk our responsibilities.

If we don't deal with it tomorrow and have excuses to delay, then we might as well not do anything. In short, man, Djibouti, Somalia, and Madagascar's Indian Ocean African defense strategy.

We must hurry to finish it, and kill anyone who stands in our way.

Taking advantage of the opportunity of relocating the Gou 10 production line, we can directly send out from Bab Teb to reinforce Africa in the future. At the very least, we must develop after-sales maintenance capabilities here.

There is a hook 10, and it shouldn't be a big problem to protect the sky in the next few years. Just do it. If the sky falls, I will hold it up! "

I thought, in a few years, there will be a major breakthrough in power technology, and I will be able to directly use large fixed-wing drones. No matter who the opponent is, I will just fight him first.
