Chapter 732: I'll Eat the Meat and You'll Take the Blame
Outsiders have no way of knowing what Wang Xing and Tim, the representative of traditional American capital, talked about. All we know is that from then on, the equity structure of TikTok Interactive Entertainment in Europe and the United States, especially in North America, changed.
The attacks on Dongda software products, which were originally rampant on the Internet, have also decreased accordingly, and the investigation and evidence collection by relevant American departments have also come to an end.
After all, everyone knows that the CIA, the Communist Party, and the military-industrial complex are very close, and the two sides have many coordinated interests overseas, although it seems that the CIA has a supervisory and restraining role.
But as long as people play a key role in it, it is inevitable that they will compromise with each other and seek benefits during the contact process.
Li Zehua only cares about the group's overall strategy and whether it can be truly implemented. For example, whether Douyin Interactive Entertainment can become a mainstream short video platform in the world and whether the group's core interests can be achieved through it.
As long as TikTok Interactive Entertainment can operate normally on a global scale, coupled with the future one billion users in China, one out of every two people in the world can pass TikTok Interactive Entertainment's algorithm mechanism.
Listening to the values the group wants to instill in consumers around the world is a complete victory.
As for how the specific profits are distributed, does Li Zehua care? Does Dongda care?
Money, in the process of strategic execution of large economies, is only the least valuable incidental benefit, influence, and then control, guidance, arbitrary actions, and even the establishment of a new order.
This is the core strategy. For the sake of this control, even if one trillion yuan is lost, one hundred thousand people are lost, or even if the number increases ten or a hundred times, the major economies will not blink an eye.
"Temporary concessions are not cowardice, but the only way to grow and develop. What I care more about now is the views of traditional US capital on the layout of energy futures."
On a private plane flying to Bab Tebbo, Li Zehua was holding a video conference of the group's top executives. Through a special satellite communication signal, he could communicate with people around the world anytime and anywhere.
It is no exaggeration to say that the electronic equipment and protective measures installed on this latest Airbus A340 private jet are even better than those on America's President One.
In the video conference, he emphasized again: "Energy security is of paramount importance. As long as American capital and European capital collide head-on, the entire world order will change.
We must see that Europe is now in complete chaos. Gaul is busy building its North African alliance and is willing to abandon other European economies and go in the opposite direction in order to maintain its own base.
In South America and Southeast Asia, Ou Meng also made frequent moves, but the more it did so, the more it revealed Ou Meng's weakness. As a former whole, they have been split up by American capital into individuals that cannot provide support to each other.
No matter how they struggle, they are doomed to total failure, and this is our best opportunity for external expansion.
Therefore, no matter what, we must reach an agreement with traditional American capital and let them support us in shorting energy. Both sides will make profits while reducing the cost of Dongda’s industrial development!
At the same time, cut off Europe's external energy supply and raise their manufacturing costs. To this end, South America, Southeast Asia and West Asia must increase their investment and seize the channels for exporting energy!
Especially the big players and Venezuela, they should also increase their investment in Eastern European economies to prevent Hans and the big cat from running in both directions!
The basis of all of this is whether we can win this energy futures war, so don’t care about temporary gains and losses, we want the whole world.
It must first obtain the support of traditional American capital. For example, Master wants Bitcoin's shares in Hong Kong and Singapore. Behind Tesla is Bank of America, a California consortium.
If they benefit from it, they must take responsibility..."
After listening to this, Lin Wenhui turned to Xiao Chengdong, the president of Micropayment, who was also attending the meeting, and asked, "You guys also gave up a large piece?"
The latter nodded and said, "Europe and the United States have never been able to make progress, especially the existing credit card system, which does not allow for survival at all. They often roll out 20% interest (plus compound interest) every year.
It is impossible to leave room for micropayments. Our model of offering 8.5% annually, with no interest for the use in the current month and no interest in the next month, has been targeted as soon as it comes out.
Just last month, the American Interbank Association called the president of American Micropayment and issued an ultimatum, saying that if the business was not ended quickly, it would resort to last resort.
I had no choice but to shut down the interest-free service and raise the certification standard for fund purchases from $1 to $50. You know, even those with $ already had few allies.
Now that the amount has been raised to $50, no bank is willing to provide offline branch support, and it is even more impossible to attract enough customers.”
Lin Wenhui opened his mouth but was too embarrassed to speak. The main reason was that it was difficult for Minsheng Financial Holdings to squeeze into the American banking circle, even for its ally Bank of America, on this issue.
They also rejected it outright. It was not that the model of Minsheng Financial Holdings was not advanced enough, but that it had crossed the line. The American capital had spent 60 or 70 years to develop this advanced consumption and overdraw the consumer market.
Would you allow outsiders to suddenly come over and take a bite?
Traditional American capital has invested in micropayment, but they have no intention of letting it take root in the United States. Instead, they want to use it to impact the European financial market. After all, the bulk of the profits are in the hands of American capital.
If they can succeed, like the University of East China and Southeast Asia, traditional American capital will be holding another financial killer weapon comparable to the big investment banks on Wall Street, and regain the financial initiative.
Even if it fails, there is no loss. After all, traditional financial channels are in the hands of Wall Street. Even if they are half-dead in the future, they can be used to do business with Zupai.
Xiao Chengdong was too lazy to take care of European and American affairs and entrusted Zhou Shouyuan's team to handle it. He was focused on consolidating the East Asian and Southeast Asian markets, while trying every means to open up the situation in West Asia, South America and Eastern Europe.
The two of them didn't care, but Yao Xiangjun couldn't sit still, "Boss, the industrial fund controls high-quality resources, especially many original shares within the group.
If we give this package to traditional American investors, wouldn’t that be a bargain for them?”
Li Zehua thought for a moment and said, "After the undisclosed secret fund holdings are stripped away, the remaining ones are attractive enough. In short, now is not as good as before.
In China, we have the people and the networks. Even in Southeast Asia, there are older generations who can help us open up markets and expand into America, Europe, and Africa.
That is the traditional advantage area of large European and American groups. If you want to succeed, you must bring in a strong group to certify your strength, otherwise there is no way you can gain a foothold.
Now, our top priority is to win over more allies and make adequate preparations for the layout of energy futures.
Mr. Lin Wenhui, please tell us about the current progress. "
Lin Wenhui adjusted his throat and said in a deep voice: "After receiving the order from the group decision-making committee, Minsheng Financial Holdings, Weifuzhi, HSBC and many other financial institutions within the system.
We have begun to purposefully screen the medium- and long-term futures orders in the financial market, especially the short orders for crude oil in the period of 6-12 months. All the purchases made by the group's vests will be arranged for execution.
Purchases by retail investors, small and medium-sized institutions, non-group companies, and large groups are all delayed or simply rejected on the grounds of insufficient market orders.
At the same time, the various channels controlled by the group are arranging external briefings, using Wall Street's comments, research reports, and professional data to continue to be bullish on the energy market, so as to attract international hot money to enter the market and take over.
As of the 20th of this month, the group has purchased short orders for the next year through 76 securities firms, 27 banks, and hundreds of funds under its holding and friendly companies.
More than 150 billion US dollars, and through Jiaobenji, Baixiang and Oumeng, the US market bought more bearish options and futures.
In the next stage, we will openly buy a large number of short futures from global investors through cooperating financial institutions. The specific amount will depend on Ou Meng’s specific actions…”
As he began to introduce himself, everyone present fell into deep thought, because everyone knew that the energy war was related to a series of major events and plans that would follow.
If we are not careful, the group may lose money, but delaying strategic decision-making will be of huge concern.
Li Zehua also did not dare to neglect it. He entered into an in-depth discussion on the specific details and required the friendly business group to transfer the funds on time. "Whoever does not follow the agreement will be punished.
As for who will be given special treatment, no accidents can be allowed at this point in time."
Giving money means making your attitude clear. Everyone will prosper and suffer together. No one should think of secretly leaking insider information to Wall Street and profit from it.
Because this time Qingyun is not asking for a small amount of money, similar to Zhongxin Financial Group, it needs to take out tens of billions of funds at once, otherwise Dongda Capital, headed by Qingyun, will have to give Zhongxin Financial a combination of punches before participating in the energy decisive battle, and knock it down first, so as to avoid someone jumping out to stir up trouble before the two major economies fall into a state of anxiety.
Everyone understands that this is an unprecedented decisive battle. Even if the big households have not yet made up their minds to stand on the side, they have already begun to inspect important equipment and pipelines in advance.
What we are guarding against is that one party does not play by the rules and takes drastic measures on oil production and transportation at a critical moment. For example, at the same time as announcing an increase in production capacity, the bulls who cannot afford to lose.
By spending tens of millions, you can have the nearby rumbling armed forces and super important oil production bases launch a few rockets, taking the opportunity to create a production capacity exporting country. The risks are uncontrollable, and there will be problems with supply in the future, which will in turn affect oil prices.
There is no doubt that in this market involving huge direct economic interests of hundreds of billions and trillions of energy expenditures of countless economies in the future, the two sides will make fierce off-the-board moves.
Not too much.
Even without the participation of traditional American capital, Wall Street, which is destined to lose, can directly send aircraft carrier formations to block the most important entrances and exits of the strait and directly choose some unlucky guy to fight.
Take the opportunity to complete the reshuffle of the energy market.
Another example is searching for energy transport ships of important economies in the vast ocean and engaging in some conspiracies and intrigues. These are common tricks and everyone has been on guard against them for a long time.
"In short, this battle is more direct than the battle to defend the pound exchange rate. It is a collective action by almost all economies in the world against the international crude oil pricing power manipulated by US capital. No matter what, this battle must be fought to the end."
Seeing that no one raised any objections, Li Zehua made the final decision: "All resources of the group in the next stage must make way for the realization of this plan.
All capable friendly companies must participate in the plan with sincerity as stipulated in the agreement. Whoever does not pay will be killed.
Anyone who tries to play both sides and try to please both sides is destined to be eliminated early! "
These words made everyone present change color, because the final payment date was not far away, but the amount of funds received by Qingyun Investment was not large. After all, it involved billions of dollars as a stepping stone.
Even large companies have to carefully consider whether the earnest money is worth it, or the huge risks involved are also a headache.
Li Zehua didn't care about all this. This was obviously a financial war that required the full strength of Dongda Capital to win. Ou Meng directly attracted the attention of American capital.
The role of Dongda is to suppress the white elephants, the basin chickens, the big cats, the big households and other fence-sitters, and prevent them from turning against each other at critical moments, as long as everyone can coordinate their positions and conflicts.
It is not really a difficult task to defeat American capital and reduce the international oil price to below US$65 as required.
No matter how powerful American capital is, it is impossible for it to deal with the world's second to tenth largest economies at the same time, not to mention that there is traditional American capital that is holding it back.
If we talk about who hates Wall Street the most, it is none other than traditional American capital at this time.
Because shale oil was a trap set up by Wall Street for traditional energy groups from the beginning. At the beginning, the interests of the two companies were consistent, and both wanted to make use of the huge reserves of shale oil resources.
Regain the dominance of American capital in the international energy market (Since 1994, Europe has had a stronger voice in the energy market, with the typical example being the Mesopotamian Basin.
The currency for oil export settlement was openly changed from the US dollar to the euro. Although the mold used laundry detergent as a breakthrough point at the first time, it sent troops to the Mesopotamian region and beat the opponents to pieces.
But after all, a gap was opened. In order to make its allies follow willingly, American capital was forced to introduce part of the euro into the international settlement system).
This led to Ou Meng taking the opportunity to expand its influence in oil-producing countries. After all, a large portion of America's crude oil is supplied by the country itself (and the United States is also one of the largest crude oil exporters).
It is neither the largest buyer nor the largest seller, but it has relied on its rumbling power to force the US dollar to be tied to commodity trading. In particular, the emergence of the petrodollar has gradually made various economies dissatisfied.
Especially Europe and the rising Southeast Asian nation, their crude oil demand accounts for more than 70% of the global demand. According to normal logic, in a demand-driven market, buyers should determine prices.
At the very least, they should have pricing power and influence. However, due to interference from American capital, the two companies cannot even make decisions and save some money, and they don't even have a chance to speak. Who can tolerate this?
Therefore, although it seems to be a crackdown on short selling of energy futures, it is actually aimed at competing for the right to speak.
Traditional American capital also wants to regain the right to speak, because shale oil is a pit from beginning to end. Wall Street and traditional American capital hit it off at the beginning, agreeing that Wall Street would provide the money, energy groups would provide the technology, and both parties would share the market.
As a result, they found themselves trapped as soon as they entered the market, because the equipment, technology and large-scale application costs of shale oil were too expensive, and Wall Street made a fortune by going long on energy.
Maybe the source group?
You have been fooled, because the original calculation of the mining cost of no more than US$25 per barrel is totally a lie (if Dongda were to take over the entire industrial chain, it would really be possible to achieve a cost of US$25).
Given the inadequate state of U.S. manufacturing, the necessary parts and key core equipment have to be purchased from all over the world. If problems arise, they cannot be solved immediately.
There is a particular lack of mature workers in the oil refining and production industries in the local area, and there are not enough scientific research engineers to solve the problems encountered. Everything has to be outsourced.
Coupled with the fact that each environmentally friendly barrel costs $8 and environmental protection organizations that often jump out to obstruct construction, the costs of energy groups have skyrocketed, and the shale oil exploration industry chain that was originally scheduled to produce results in one or two years has been affected.
It is estimated that it will take at least 20 years to complete.
Now the energy group is not going to take this anymore. It has invested hundreds of billions of dollars in it together with Wall Street. The shares have been mortgaged and the money has been paid, but the industrial chain is in a mess.
The key point is that there is a lot of scolding outside, and it seems like everyone is despising them. Oh, the money has been made by Wall Street, and the energy group has to bear the infamy and the consequences of responsibility. Who will do it!
Therefore, it is inevitable that the energy group will short sell as well. At the same time, the American high-end manufacturing group also wants to take the opportunity to get rid of this big burden.
“With the support of traditional American capital, they have already taken practical actions to show that mold will never support this energy and financial war, and the military-industrial complex will get the cheap supply chain it wants.
They also said they would not take action. As a gesture of sincerity, they turned a blind eye to Edward's leaks and took the initiative to provide a lot of Wall Street's explosive information as a gesture of sincerity. "
As Li Zehua spoke, he couldn't help but sigh. With the internal fighting being so bad, it was no wonder that the country was becoming increasingly unreliable. Keep fighting. Only by turning the economy into a mess can opportunities be created for economies that want to make further progress.
Lin Wenhui was also confused. He did not expect that traditional American capital could achieve this, and he never thought that one day Bank of America would come and insist on acquiring shares in Minsheng Financial Holdings (overseas business).
He gave a brief report in the video conference on Bank of America's proposal to acquire 150% of Minsheng Financial Holdings (excluding East Asia and Southeast Asia as a last resort) for US$45 billion.
Others did not refuse because many American and European companies have already been exposed, such as Bank of America, Morgan Stanley, China Minsheng Financial Holdings, HSBC, and China Development Bank.
The two countries have joined forces to inject capital into the Amazon River Basin transportation artery project in South America. Once the project is officially started and completed, Venezuela's oil, Samba's grain and minerals, and Peru's various resources will be in our hands.
Through this major artery, resources can be continuously delivered to Qiankai Port, from where they can be loaded onto ships and sent back to Dongda. According to conservative estimates, this major artery will transport more than 200 million tons of various resources every year.
What does this mean? Even if you only collect tolls, you can support a world-class multinational company.
Moreover, the economies along the route must take this route because it saves one or two million dollars and one to two weeks of time compared to the traditional route via the Atlantic Ocean to Panama.
This is where the biggest benefit lies. Traditional American capital can also return to Venezuela and occupy the most core energy and mineral resources in the country. Why not do it?
