Winner Takes It All, Resurrection 2009

"Chairman, Mr. Durode from Luzon has arrived."

Liu Ziliang looked a little strange. After the American energy representative left, he entered the office and said softly, "I have arranged him in reception room number eight."

"You did a good job. It was right not to let outsiders see you. During this critical period, people from Luzon should keep a low profile."

Li Zehua nodded and said, "Cancel the following schedule and let Mr. Gu Shijie represent me."

Then he went out and took the special elevator to the remote reception room No. 8. As soon as he entered the room, he saw the woman next to Du Luode. He was stunned for a moment, and then pressed the call button at the door, "Please ask Mr. Yu to come over."

Just after sitting down, Du Luode introduced with a smile, "Mr. Li, I have heard of you for a long time. Thank you for your care on this first meeting. This is my daughter Du Zila, currently serving in Luzon..."

There are many fathers and daughters working in the same company. After the old man becomes the general manager, the daughter takes over as the general manager. It is rare to see them playing the same nesting doll game over and over again.

Li Zehua knew this family very well. After all, the Qingyun Strategic Intelligence Analysis Room was filled with information about their family.

It is very easy to know yourself and your enemy and to cater to their preferences. After some greetings, both the host and the guests were in a good mood. Yu Li happened to come over and chatted with Du Qila, finally making some space for the two grown men.

Although Du Luode is also a local lord in the economic body, facing the Qingyun system that holds massive resources, he can only take the initiative to ask for help.

Li Zehua said bluntly: "Wait, Mr. Du, I think you misunderstood. Qingyun Group does not have much investment in Luzon. You know, we only do business with friends who can talk to us."

The implication is simple. Durode's identity is not strong enough. After all, there are many powerful big players in Luzon, but there is no Durode who has integrated all the forces like in the original time and space.

The scope of his influence is not enough to make Qingyun personally come out to help him.

Du Luode also knew that his strength was limited, so he put on a very realistic attitude and tempted with benefits, "If I am lucky enough to become Mr. Li's friend.

Then our Du family will spare no effort to mobilize all the resources at our disposal to pave the way for Qingyun Group to enter the Luzon market. I am not bragging.

Before coming here, I have already negotiated with all the powerful families in the south. As long as we can get Mr. Li's favor, we are willing to learn from Malaya..."

“Like Malaya?”

Li Zehua did not comment, "But you don't have Malaya's unique geographical location, adjacent to the deep Pacific Ocean, facing the turbulent waves from the ocean, how can you guarantee that you can take care of Qingyun's interests?

Don't accuse me of being too realistic and not being a good friend. The truth is that in the past few years, you have never mentioned the desire to establish a deeper friendship, and now you are just unable to withstand the internal pressure.

I just want to bring in Qingyun to help you better resist the offensive from American capital."

Since the economic globalization, especially the advent of the Internet era, everything in this world is no longer a single entity. A person's words and deeds may have a direct impact on things thousands of miles away.

Even a casual comment posted online via electronic devices can have the potential to affect other individuals staring at the screen and surfing the Internet.

Even major decisions made by a business group or an economy as large as this may have an impact on global economic development.

Qingyun Group's active layout in Southeast Asia, especially in the era of mobile Internet, coupled with the inclusive nature of Internet finance (the initial performance is very consistent with this positioning), has entered multiple economies in Southeast Asia.

With over 4500 billion U.S. dollars in revenue (the latest data, including commercial banks, insurance companies, financial management and trust accounts opened in cooperation with micropayments), this influence is truly sky-high.

For some special reasons, the Qingyun Group deliberately avoided the economies of Annan and Luzon in its economic expansion in Southeast Asia, which led to the Wuchang rice on YouTube in later generations.

He posts online every day to question Qingyun, what the hell is going on? Why doesn’t it come to Annan to invest? Do you believe that the Qingyun Group will be unable to survive on Earth in a matter of minutes?

Luzon is not so brave, but its six or seven million migrant workers across Southeast Asia and Hong Kong have enjoyed the high-quality services provided by the mobile Internet, especially the Qingyun system, in advance.

The most intuitive manifestation is that in the past, most of the money earned by these groups of workers who went abroad was remitted back to their home countries’ commercial banks, thus creating huge remittance income for the economy in disguise.

But now, who is still stupid enough to deposit money in commercial banks? Even the small and medium-sized banks in Luzon can't give a commercial interest rate of less than 4 points a year, and they still charge a lot of handling fees.

As for the service attitude, it's just so-so.

As for micropayment, the interest rate is as high as 8.5%, and the service attitude is even better. You should know that Qingyun has five logistics cities in China, namely Singapore, Hong Kong, Malaya and Siam.

In total, we have hired more than 3.5 after-sales service personnel in various forms. Even if you call at three or four in the morning, we can ensure that someone can serve you at the first time.

In order to enhance the user experience, Qingyun Group is setting up new after-sales maintenance teams and technicians in Eastern Europe, North Africa and South America, ready to provide consumers with attentive service 24 hours a day, uninterruptedly.

Coupled with the extremely high and stable returns, as well as the strength certification and credit endorsement provided by the government to the Qingyun Group by large commercial groups in various places, the promotion of micropayments has been extremely smooth.

The biggest impact on Luzon is that the remittance income from overseas Chinese, which used to be as high as tens of billions of dollars each year, has dropped sharply (nearly 10 million people worldwide receive thousands of dollars per year on average), and all of the money has been deposited in micropayments.

This scared the forces behind some commercial banks, but at this time, all the economies in Southeast Asia gathered around Qingyun, and Luzon alone could not pose any threat to Qingyun.

San Sheng San Shi, who is now on the stage, is a loyal ally of American capital. He immediately introduced a series of restrictive measures on the domestic business of monopoly groups (mainly Qingyun Group) (Annan did the same).

The Qingyun faction and its allies are prohibited from conducting normal economic and trade exchanges in Luzon, but the Qingyun faction does not care. Given the economic size of Luzon, it may not be willing to go even if invited. At most, it can support some agents and maintain its existence.

However, although Sansheng Sanshi was willing, other families were not, especially Durode. His territory was in the south, and he had many economic exchanges with Malaya and Indonesia, and he also had a good relationship with the University of the East.

Now they are watching others eating meat with big mouthfuls while they are not getting any benefit at all, how can they not be anxious?
The most important thing is that if Durand wants to seize the opportunity to go further, it needs strong support from within Southeast Asia, especially the millions of migrant workers they can influence.

If he can mobilize these compatriots working overseas to participate in the voting, coupled with the influence of the Durold family in the South, then it will be a foregone conclusion that he will become the next leader in the future.

What's more, with such a large group supporting him, he dares to compete with San Sheng San Shi even now.

"Before Mr. Du came, he should have talked to Mr. Wei from my company. In fact, if you have any problems, you can just go to him directly."

Li Zehua was disappointed to see that he had been talking for a long time but had not taken any concrete action. He simply prepared to end the meeting and leave him alone.

Is Luzon important? It’s very important!

Because if you draw a circle from the southeast coast to the south, you cannot avoid the most important islands adjacent to the Pacific Ocean. If this circle lacks the most critical Luzon, it means American capital.

They can continuously exert influence through this gap, making it difficult for Dongda Capital to benefit from it stably.

On the other hand, if Luzon is fully integrated, then when you open the map of the southern waters, you will see that it is surrounded by the east, west and south. To the north is the vast eastern Guangdong, which will kill four chickens.

There was only a gap on the northeast side that could be used to get in. No matter how you looked at it, it was a good show of closing the door and beating the dog. Annan, who was tightly surrounded from all sides, had a lot of fun from then on.

Qingyun doesn't even need to take action. They have to fight among themselves first, otherwise they will not be able to survive.

Du Luode was very panicked, he had no cards to play. With Oumeng Capital's continued concessions in Malaya and Singapore, Dongda quickly filled the gap and showed an unprecedentedly tough stance.

Everyone knows that with huge interests involving hundreds of billions and trillions of dollars, no one will back down even a bit and will follow the increasingly expanding economies of Southeast Asia.

They have also adjusted their own economies' foreign policies, and even if the situation is bad, they are actively following the lead of the University of Tokyo. What's more, some have even taken the initiative to reach out to the hesitant neighboring economies.

This is the case with Indonesia, Singapore, Cambodia, Yunnan and Burma. Now Luzon cannot escape the influence of this strategy. Malaya, Brunei, Singapore and Siam are all capital groups.

They began to pour into Luzon in large numbers, first landing in the southern region and then quickly joining forces with the long-awaited capital of the local economy. If they were not controlled, they would soon sweep across the country. Time was running out for old families like Duro.

If we fail to adjust our attitude quickly to cater to and embrace this change, then the outcome we will face is predictable. Even within five years, more and more people will rely on Dongda Capital.

Southeast Asian capital creates primitive accumulation, while new groups emerge that attempt to change the status quo to impact the existing structure.

In fact, Du Luode still underestimated the influence of mobile Internet on the traditional economic situation. To be precise, micropayment took two and a half years to complete the goal that took Citibank and JPMorgan Chase 200 years to accomplish.

In just two years, Qingyun Industrial Fund, through the convenient mobile Internet, controlled total assets of more than 1.3 trillion US dollars (the total valuation of all the companies in which it holds equity or controlling stakes), which does not include the Qingyun Group itself.

Even after BlackRock completed its acquisition of Merrill Lynch and rose to prominence, its size was only two or three times that of Qingyun Industrial Fund.

This is the power and great charm of the new economic model. Even the most powerful commercial economy cannot ignore the explosion of information communication technology brought about by mobile Internet.

Before computers and mobile phones, people communicated with each other face to face, and had to seize fleeting investment opportunities from countless true and false information.

In just a few years, humans in the new era have forgotten the old era when they flew around and were incredibly inefficient.

It seems that the world should be this way. By tapping the keyboard on a computer screen or a smartphone, you can operate financial accounts thousands of miles away and complete the instant transfer of wealth.

Either you harvest the other party and become rich overnight, or you become a green leek and contribute to the construction of a large group.

Information is transmitted extremely quickly, funds are harvested accurately, and consumption is professionally matched. A group releases a phenomenal software that can connect with more than one billion of the best users on the planet at the same time.

With just a click of a finger, everyone can contribute funds ranging from hundreds of millions to hundreds of millions, just like micropayments went from 0 to 4500 billion US dollars in just two and a half years.

What is most frightening is that Weifuzhi does not have any offline physical outlets. It has only 4.7 employees, more than half of whom are software engineers holed up in office buildings.

If we also take into account the amount of funds it controls outside the Southeast Asian market, it would be enough to shame the world's largest commercial organizations to death.

Because the trillion-dollar super financial giant appeared in front of the world in almost the blink of an eye, so fast that all financial institutions did not even have time to react and prepare.
Faced with this huge emerging force, Durode from Mian Island was so panicked after reading the information that he exclaimed it was impossible, and was left with only a deep sense of frustration.

The Du family has been developing in Mian Island for nearly a hundred years, but has accumulated only total assets of two to three billion US dollars. Excluding debts and the part that cannot be seen by the public, he is not even as good as the person in charge of a subsidiary of Qingyun Group who only holds a few points of shares.

Since when did billionaires become so worthless?
When did it become so easy to build extraordinary influence from nothing?
He almost doubted his life, but in the end, facing the reality, he had no choice but to lower his head and compromise with Li Zehua, who controlled the real capital, "As long as Mr. Li is willing to support me.

Luzon is yours!"

“What do I want Luzon to do, or can you represent the entire economy?”

After weighing the pros and cons, Li Zehua decided to give him a chance to express his attitude, "Of course, if you can find a win-win situation, Qingyun may be able to provide you with some necessary help.

It's limited to the scope of the rules. If the US capital catches hold of it and takes the opportunity to attack, then I'm sorry. Qingyun can get everything he wants without taking any risks now."

Durode felt bitter, but what could he do?

Compared with their private troops, they have only more than a thousand people, although they are determined to clear the place and increase the number to three to five thousand.

But compared with the huge security department within Qingyun, its value pales in comparison, because Qingyun only publicly owns those who have obtained approval through formal channels in Southeast Asia and are able to hold licenses and weapons.

There are more than 20,000 people, not to mention the huge force that can be replenished in the country at any time. Sometimes the Five Military Governor's Office does things without any manner of attention. They just took off their clothes and put down their beloved second life.

The cars that were arranged to depart for the special training camp were shouted at to hurry up and get on the cars to fight for honor. Then there were the guys with buzz cuts who wanted to serve their country, make a fortune for their families and eliminate their worries.

While looking forward to the future with a smile, you receive another second life and embark on a new journey.

In the vast areas of Asia, Africa and Latin America, more than 50,000 of the most loyal guards who fought for the future of Dongda Capital were under the command of the Five Military Governor's Office (actually) and Qingyun and its allied groups (on the surface).

Whether in ports, important transportation hubs, or in important mines, mining areas, and agricultural production areas, they are upholding the core interests of Dongda, with more and more large-tonnage ships flying red flags.

They appear in large numbers like dumplings dropped into water, on the world's ocean shipping lanes.

Even though he is located on Mian Island, Du Luode can feel the changes, because in the past year, more and more newly launched Dongda ships have been shuttling through this busiest waters in the world.

As long as you are not blind, you can see clearly what language is written on the huge ships. They are loaded with all kinds of industrial products, which are unloaded in the port in a hurry and then sent to the local merchants who have been waiting for a long time.

Swarmed up.

They waved their money and rushed to buy things. He even heard a very cold joke: the cement, fertilizer and mineral water shipped from eastern Guangdong were 300% cheaper than the local production cost!!!

What is this exaggerated, horrifying productivity?

It is well known that these low-value primary processed products, whose freight costs are often higher than their production costs, have lower cost competitiveness the closer they are to the production site.

But now, they have openly broken this law, not to mention commodities such as steel, chemical energy products, daily necessities, hardware and building materials, mechanical equipment, etc.

If this continues, there will be no point in arguing.

Just as Du Luode himself said, there is no dispute, especially at a shipyard where the production line is running frantically, mass-producing rumbling power, vowing to provide a powerful economy to protect the overseas interests of Dongda Capital.

Completely awakened.

As they tremble at their doorsteps, they also feel in their hearts that they must not miss this God-given opportunity for the rise of a new round of hegemony. If they cannot get on board, what tragic ending will be waiting for them?

OK!
Du Luode, who had secretly talked with Wei Kejian for half a year in advance and invited Ma Jun to visit three or four times, finally plucked up the courage to arrive in the Magic City, but when he stood in front of Li Zehua.

He hesitated because he knew clearly that once he made the crucial choice, everything would no longer be under his control.

So, he tentatively asked, "What can I get?"

“This is simple. The conditions you convey through the Southeast Asia Business Group can basically be met.

For example, providing a low-interest loan of 20 billion US dollars, providing no less than 50 billion US dollars in direct investment in the South in the next three years, and ensuring the status of the Du family, all of their needs can be met.

I can even promise you now that you can get a share of all the business that Qingyun Group enters in Luzon, and the proportion between you and the group behind you will not be less than 30%.

And you and your family can get 49% of the ten-year return on the Luzon spinach business. After the expiration, as long as your strength is enough, there will be no problem renewing the contract for another ten years..."

Durode was stunned for a moment, "Really?!"

"That's it?"

Li Zehua couldn't help but complain in his heart and nodded, "Everything you care about is just a drop in the bucket for Qingyun.

So, now back to the original question, what can you bring to Qingyun?" (End of this chapter)
