Winner Takes It All, Resurrection 2009

"You bunch of lunatics are all crazy. For the sake of Venezuela's crude oil, you actually want to support Dongda Capital in building a major transportation artery across the Amazon rainforest in South America.

Don't you know that once it is built, Venezuela's crude oil and natural gas, and Samba's soybeans and corn can be transported directly to Peru's Chancay Port through this channel?
Without the bargaining chip of passage through the Panama Canal, will Dongda Capital still listen to us in the future? "

Charles Herco, president of Koch Group and one of the actual driving forces behind the U.S. shale oil project, asked a soul-searching question to Bank of America President Tim.

“Has your disagreement with Wall Street completely dominated your mind and made it impossible for you to distinguish any other real information?

We seek long-term influence and control, but look at what you have done to regain the initiative.

Now that Hong Kong is no longer under control, even the influence in the traditional advantageous areas of Jiangsu and Zhejiang has been completely taken back by Dongda Capital. After counting, there is only a pitiful coarse grain factory left.

Still fighting for the great American good, that's what you want, poor horse."

Tesla chairman Thomas Musk, who had been drinking tea and never thought about being in the limelight, looked confused. As a result of Qingyun's sudden intrusion, he was not taken in by Wall Street at this time and space.

There is no need to experience the despair of raising children, because there are orders and financial support from the University of the East, especially the control of the only Bitcoin trading platform in the United States, which is operated by the Qingyun system.

The price of Bitcoin exceeded $10,000 six or seven years earlier than in history. Tesla, which has money, orders and a future, naturally does not have to rely on the opinions of Wall Street financial capital.

However, compared with the traditional industrial groups that have been established for a long time and have profound foundation, Master's original accumulation and connections are still far behind, at least compared with the world's largest non-listed chemical energy, Koch Group.

Tesla, whose market value does not exceed 500 billion US dollars, is obviously not good enough, especially the new energy advocated by Tesla, which is the natural enemy of traditional chemical energy. No wonder Charles Herco.

Will not miss any opportunity to strike Master.

Fortunately, Michael, the chairman of the California Petroleum Group, came to Master’s rescue in time, “Okay, Herco, this is not a bullfighting arena, put away your ridiculous trash talk.

The people who can appear here are all friends. If you want to quarrel, you should go to New York instead of Los Angeles.

The reason we are gathered here today is to discuss whether to join the construction in South America. As we all know, Mobil and Shell are moving away from Venezuela.

Whenever I think of the countless exciting oil and natural gas buried under every inch of land there, my heart can't help but beat fast.

Moreover, Dongda has promised to support our business. Compared with the stable energy income of hundreds of billions per year, I think it is not unacceptable to bypass Panama. "

"That's right, we can't go against money."

"Let Squid Capital stay away. No one can stop us from making money."

Obviously, the majority of people hold the same opinion as Michael, otherwise Tim would not have rushed back from Hong Kong.

However, on the core issue of whether to support Dongda Capital and build a major transportation artery in South America, many people have different opinions.

For example, Tim from Bank of America said: "We can support the construction of Dongda Capital at a cost, but its progress must be monitored at all times, and COSCO Shipping and China Merchants Group.

The shares of Qiankai Port held in your hands must be transferred to us for the purpose of controlling them at any time."

Koch Group Chairman He Ke nodded in satisfaction and said, “In addition, the mortgage of the traffic artery should also be guaranteed by Qingyun Group’s core business in Dongda before commercial loans can be granted.

Our Koch Group's requirements are not high. We can just use Qingyun Group's 7000 million refining capacity in Dongda as a guarantee."

His words have revealed enough information, because from the beginning to the end, traditional American capital had no intention of successfully building this major transportation artery that runs through the Amazon rainforest.

Because food security is also a traditional advantage project of American capital. It concerns the safety of fuel and livestock feed for more than one billion people. Once this important transportation route including oil pipelines, highways and railways is built.

At that time, Dongda Capital will be able to enter the interior of Samba unimpeded, and will no longer need to use Samba’s coastal ports (mostly controlled by European and American capital) and will not need to pass through the Panama Canal.

(Part of the shares were taken over by Daiying Capital and Dongda Capital when Xiangjiang Capital withdrew, but because they were too close to American capital, they were easily affected.)
American capital will completely lose the bargaining chip to control the food security of Southeast University, which is an outcome that neither the cooking faction nor the peace faction can accept.

The bottom line for Koch Group and California Petroleum (including Chevron and Texas Petroleum) is that the oil pipeline can be built, provided that Dongda Capital cooperates with American capital to completely take over Venezuela's oil share.

Then they promised to underwrite and purchase oil, natural gas and chemical products worth hundreds of billions of dollars from American capital every year, allowing the American capital to make money without doing anything, while the pipeline transportation volume would also be controlled by the American capital.

It has to be said that their wishful thinking was so good that Master said nothing during the whole process, because his Tesla was discussing investment in building a factory with the Shanghai government.

It will be too late if we don’t invest now, because with the shift in Dongda’s core strategy for power technology and new energy batteries, the policy subsidies have suddenly increased, and Qingyun Group has integrated industry resources.

We also obtained many core key technologies from Mercedes-Benz and BMW. With major breakthroughs in materials, the battery capacity and output stability have been greatly improved.

In fact, the era of large-scale commercial use of new energy and hybrid vehicles has arrived, and Tesla also has sufficient strength to invest in mass-produced vehicles. It’s just that the resistance from traditional fuel vehicle manufacturers is too great.

This has led to a number of new energy vehicle companies struggling to develop. Take BYD as an example. After fully sharing the technology introduced by Qingyun Power Technology, its second-generation extended-range technology has been a great success.

It can almost reach the original time and space in 2017. As the main launch of the third-generation technology, it means that cheap hybrid new energy vehicles have cleared all obstacles to large-scale commercial use.

This is a great stimulus for Tesla, especially the agreement reached between Qingyun Group and Mercedes-Benz, which will expand Mercedes-Benz new energy vehicles to the Southeast Asian market.

The entire business was transferred to Qingyun Mercedes-Benz, which only charged a package patent fee of 7% of the retail ex-factory price of the vehicle. It includes the Mercedes-Benz brand, Qingyun's technology (Qingyun is responsible for subsequent research and development, and Mercedes-Benz has the right of first refusal), and the Southeast Asian market of Dongda.

Coupled with the world's unique complete industrial chain support, based on Tesla's professional evaluation and analysis, it is unanimously agreed that Qingyun Mercedes-Benz's first new energy vehicle will be launched by early 2015 at the latest.

It will be able to achieve mass production, and its price will soon cover all series from 50 to 500 million. This is definitely not good news for Tesla, even though the two companies are in the same camp.

Master also doesn't want to see Qingyun Mercedes-Benz become a huge success, otherwise who will get the title of the number one in the global new energy industry chain?

(In fact, the first and second smart factories of Qingyun Mercedes-Benz New Energy have been built in Fengtian, Liaodong, and Gusu, Jiangsu Province at the same time, according to the exaggerated speed of Dongda’s internal circulation.

The plant will be put into operation by the end of 2013 at the latest, and the production vehicles will roll off the assembly line no later than June 2014, 6.
This forced Master to find a way to invest and set up a factory in Shanghai as soon as possible, and also slow down Qingyun's new energy layout. At present, the construction of a perfect transportation artery is the best bargaining chip for exchanging interests.

After thinking this through, he said decisively: "We not only want reasonable collateral in South America, but we also have to ask Dongda Capital for the core resource market in Southeast Asia."

Tim was stunned, and it took him a while to react, "This is impossible, I have personally experienced how powerful their leaders are in Hong Kong, and they don't even want to give Qingyun Group's business in Europe and the United States.

It was only after my strong arguments that I was able to get it. I'm afraid that the resources in South America cannot be exchanged for the mature financial and Internet markets in Southeast Asia."

“But don’t forget that the energy resources in our hands are the key bargaining chips that Dongda Capital urgently wants. They have already invested tens of billions of dollars in the global energy futures market.

Wall Street is going crazy. They have found aggressive short-selling opponents in almost every corner of the world, a friend from the Development Agency told me a few days ago.

Wall Street is ready to talk to me about space development plans. You know, this thing is so cool and it's a market tailor-made for me. I won't refuse it no matter what.

One of the conditions they put forward is that we should put aside our past grievances and work together to deal with the short sellers.”

Master would not give up any point to seek benefits for himself, even if he betrayed his former ally, but so what, in the business world, isn't it all about calculating against each other? He directed the spearhead to Qingyun without hesitation, "That guy has been running around to big households, Babuti, these days, just to lobby the local energy group to support his plan.

Obviously, he has invested a huge amount of money in it. If we use energy futures as the core bargaining chip, I believe he will definitely make a compromise. "

After listening to this, Tim had a headache, because he had hidden the key information, which was the interests of South America, which were obtained by using the chips of traditional American capital in the energy futures market.

But in order to make everyone believe in his ability and allow Bank of America to earn enough profit from this cooperation, he cleverly concealed this fact.

However, Master was not careful with his words and pointed out the bargaining chip right away, which made Tim very embarrassed. However, he did not dare to say it directly. He could only wait and see what others thought.

Herco of the Koch Group and the head of Texas Oil next to him discussed the matter and felt that allowing foreign capital to suppress oil prices at this time would have a great impact on the shale oil projects in which they had invested heavily.

"Heke, put away your old tricks. The cost of extracting shale oil is too high. It is not a technology that can be matured in a short period of time."

Michael said sarcastically without hesitation: "Don't think I don't know what you are planning. As the only energy giant that is not listed, you are also severely affected by the international oil price.

The higher the oil price, the less competitive the chemical energy products produced by Koch Group will be. If I guess correctly, Koch Group also has a large amount of funds pouring into the bearish market.

You just want to trick us into continuing to invest money in this shitty shale oil market, and then rush to Venezuela to take over the territory, right?"

Seeing his plan exposed, He Ke was not discouraged. Although he did have the idea of ​​using the shale oil project to make a deal with Dongda Capital in exchange for the other party's support, he would also take advantage of Oumeng Capital's concession and create a favorable opportunity for Dongda Capital to enter the market.

Get involved in Venezuela's energy market and make a fortune.

Unfortunately, each group present had its own plans, and the meeting to divide the spoils turned into a profit-making event. Everyone wanted to have a bigger piece of the cake, and this had to be agreed upon by Dongda Capital.

Without the guidance of insiders, they now have few leverage over Dongda Capital, if the latter had not taken the initiative to step forward and establish a bridgehead in Southeast Asia and South America.

It’s still difficult to get American capital.

So after much discussion, everyone decided to seize three core strategic points: the energy futures market for short selling, the fat meat of the Southeast Asian financial market, and the major transportation arteries in South America.

Force Dongda Capital to make concessions.

Among them, energy coordination is the top priority, but they are not clear about the trump card of Dongda Capital. Others such as Oumeng, Jiaobenji and Baixiang are acting together, while big cats and big investors are waiting and watching.

Although they have some awareness, they have not yet fully understood the ultimate interests of these economies, so they are mainly testing the waters through negotiations for the time being.

As for the financial market in Southeast Asia and the results of the capital layout of Dongda, traditional American capital cooperated with Wall Street to force its way in and get a share of the pie based on its strength.

The Qingyun Group cannot afford to refuse this. Giving up its share of European and American business is the bottom line. At worst, the two sides can just fight to decide the winner.

The South American project, which seems to have the largest investment and the most stable returns, is actually the most likely to go wrong, because it is not easy for American capital to persuade the Qingyun Group to make up its mind to start construction.

At worst, the project can be delayed. Without the intervention of Dongda Capital, American capital will not be able to succeed in Venezuela at all. After all, it has the full support of Oumeng Capital behind it.

No matter how powerful California Petroleum, Koch Group, and Bank of America are, it is nothing but a pipe dream to force Venezuela to surrender under the noses of Europe and Wall Street.

Only by cooperating with Dongda Capital will there be such a possibility.

In short, everyone has their own plans, and no one can succeed easily...

As expected, as the demands of traditional and American capital reached Shanghai, Li Zehua, who had just returned victoriously from Babutie, threw the conditions proposed by the other party into the trash without even a second thought.

"Damn, it's always wishful thinking. These people get excited when they smell something, but they are more likely to cause trouble than to accomplish anything."

Qin Xiangli and Rong Zhijian, who took the initiative to come to the door, looked at each other, and Rong Zhijian said, "Mr. Li, American capital is famous for its big appetite and irresponsibility. Why do you have to get angry for them? It's not worth it!"

"That's right. Without Zhang the Butcher, we still can't eat curly meat. Without the cooperation of traditional American capital in the energy market, no, as long as these people smell the profit, they will definitely follow."

Qin Xiangli was full of confidence. "So there is no need to discuss this point at all. They can stand on whichever side they want. Anyway, with the cooperation of Oumeng, Chicken, White Elephant and other economies, we will never lose.

As for the South American project, it will take three to five years to complete, so why rush? At this stage, the key is to protect the interests of Southeast Asia."

Li Zehua thought about it and did not refuse, but he was still unwilling. It was a pity that although the power of Qingyun Group was very important within Dongda, it still did not have the core competitiveness when looking at the world.

Because we cannot enter the European and American markets, people will not care about Qingyun’s ideas. If we cannot grasp the pain points, how can we respect them?

"Alright, alright, don't I know enough about those people? In short, don't be vague about what you should feed them, and don't give them anything you shouldn't give. When they get anxious, they will come to you and ask for cooperation.

I still don't believe it. Facing the relentless pressure from the Squid Capital, how long can their shale oil projects last? Without the oil replenishment from Venezuela, those people like California Oil and Texas Energy.

Want to live a comfortable life? That's nonsense. Wall Street has invested hundreds of billions of dollars in shale oil, not just to help America seize the so-called energy discourse power.

That is also a preparation to sweep away the last presence of the peace faction in the energy system. Don't disbelieve it, even if we don't fight against high oil prices, Wall Street will take action within a year at most.

Otherwise, if the traditional energy groups in Hepai really succeed in developing shale oil, what will Wall Street have to do with it?"

Rong Zhijian has been in Maple Leaf for a long time and has seen through some things. Now that he is in charge of the new Zhongxin Financial Group, there are a lot of internal troubles.

It is almost impossible to settle the internal situation through normal means.

Therefore, he must rely on cooperation with Qingyun, snatch the meat back from the outside, use interests to bind the various forces that are ready to move, and wait for him to free up his hands to win over and divide his opponents, so that he can successfully sit on the position.

At this time, is it too late to give up too much profit to American capital?
Dreaming.

Qin Xiangli holds the same opinion. He refuses to give up an inch on the issue of Southeast Asian interests. He also does not believe that American capital has the ability to suppress Ou Meng and Dong Da in two strategic directions at the same time.

What's more, we can't even win at home, let alone go further out to sea.

"Well, since you all think so, let's see what the US capital can do."

Li Zehua finally made up his mind. On the one hand, he arranged for the group's senior executives, except for the original ones, to avoid traveling to North America in the near future as much as possible, because he was worried that the Alstom incident would happen to Qingyun.

On the other hand, we should say hello to various places and prepare to properly handle the traditional American investment here. For example, Tesla's entry into Shanghai for negotiations can be a bit tougher.

Master does not have such good advantages as Qingyun. Tesla is being targeted in Europe and the United States. If it cannot reduce costs, expand production scale and seize the market, it is questionable whether it can rise in the future.

As for Bank of America, it is even simpler. The cooperation on so many large projects can be put on hold for now. The bankers who make a living by high interest rates will be the first to get restless... (End of this chapter)
