Winner Takes It All, Resurrection 2009

After Luida finished his meeting with Li Zehua with hope, he immediately went to the Samba Commander's Mansion. He couldn't wait to bring the good news to Ms. Di Luo who had been waiting for a long time.

As people from the same camp, Diro, who sincerely hopes to lead Samba to achieve economic take-off, has known Luida for decades and the two sides are each other's most important allies.

But this does not mean that Di Luo believes in Dongda, or in Qingyun. After all, the two sides are too far apart, and Dongda’s influence in Samba is limited to maintaining a certain degree in the Internet field.

In the trade of food, energy and minerals, it is more American-funded and privately-controlled enterprises that have commercial cooperation with Dongda, and the Samba Yamen collects the most taxes from them.

A large number of grassroots people do not know who is the driving force behind the development of the Samba economy. The development of WeChat Technology in Samba is not satisfactory, and it only occupies a certain market share in the Qingyun business concentration area.

If you want to completely change the perception of ordinary people at the public opinion level, the road is long and full of obstacles.

“I think the $500 billion investment is enough to represent their sincerity, especially since Mr. Li’s interests are unquestionable and his wealth is comparable to that of the entire Samba. If someone else made a similar commitment.

I would just take it as a joke, but he is different. I have seen almost all of his entrepreneurial experiences and major decision-making. This kind of person is an excellent entrepreneur who does not care about temporary gains and losses in order to achieve the ultimate goal.

He seems to have a vision for the future! This is very important and means that as long as we have a stable partnership, he will provide continuous support. ”

Luida briefly told Diro some of Li Zehua's past experiences, picking out the key points, and then continued: "Imagine a country that is separated from Samba by the vast Pacific Ocean and has to cross insurmountable mountains to establish a connection.

No matter how great the influence it has in Samba in the future, it cannot be transformed into a huge force to interfere in Samba's internal affairs, because the distance is too far and the long delivery time will offset all advantages.

It is not as aggressive as American capital and European capital. Dilo, believe me, an economy that is willing to support us but cannot interfere directly is crucial to the future of Samba.

Now they have a golden opportunity, as long as they can support them in building a transportation line through the Amazon rainforest in the north, relying on this unprecedented huge project.

It is enough to boost Samba's obviously weak domestic economic environment. With huge external investment and huge engineering scale effects, you will have countless more chips in your hands.

The voices that originally opposed us will be silenced as huge profits are injected, and the capital that supported us in an attempt to get returns will become more supportive because of the excess profits earned from contracting projects. "

Di Luo knew all this, but the conditions proposed by Qingyun on behalf of Dongda Capital were not so easy to solve either.

“Damn it, sometimes I don’t know if they are businessmen or saints who are thinking about Samba. We are having a good economic cooperation, but suddenly they come out to support Samba’s current government and the flour merchants.

I simply cannot understand why they are targeting Omen Energy Capital, which is entrenched in the Samba country, and taking back the Samba Oil Company as a national company. "

Luida smiled and said, “Perhaps you haven’t had much contact with the people of Dongda University, but I know them. Dongda University may be the country in the world that is most intolerant of flour.

They have also developed an effective internal stability system. Perhaps without flour merchants and fewer social and economic gray areas, many troubles would be solved.

As for the recovery of Samba Petroleum and Vale shares, they believe that it is one of the prerequisites for cooperation. As you know, Dongda is currently the world's largest importer of raw materials and energy.

They will not tolerate the most core bargaining power being in the hands of American capital, foreign companies and European companies. This is a late-developing economy that requires the minimum respect. Unfortunately, Europe and the United States do not understand this.

Maybe they understand it, but the huge profits have blinded their eyes, and some people are trying to take advantage of the situation and have the best of both worlds, let’s take iron ore as an example.

Nippon Steel always takes the lead in offering high prices during the critical period of negotiations, and uses many restrictive means such as technology transfer and free trade to bribe, intimidate and force the Todai steel industry.

If we accept their unreasonable blackmail, the extra money we spend every year will amount to hundreds of billions of RMB. Now, Dongda has promised that as long as we take positive action.

In response to the anti-monopoly and suspected unfair business investigations launched against Oumeng and Jiaobenji shareholders in Vale, Dongda was willing to transfer this part of the excess profits to Samba unconditionally.

This is an additional income of tens of billions of dollars every year. With this money, the big domestic groups will be so happy that they will kiss your toes crazily, and they may even take the initiative to help you regain control of Samba oil, minerals and food."

It has to be said that the move that Dongda Capital entrusted Li Zehua to play was quite brilliant, a pure ulterior motive that made it impossible to refuse.

Simply put, it is impossible for Dongda Capital to break the hegemony of world food, mineral and energy trading controlled by American capital, Jiaobenji and European capital on its own.

For example, the iron ore trade is basically controlled by Vale of Brazil and BHP Billiton of Australia, which holds most of the market share in order to ensure the development momentum of the domestic steel industry.

Tokyo University had to accept all kinds of unreasonable demands put forward by the two major groups, such as purchasing iron ore at a much higher import price than other economies and being continuously drained of blood by European, American and Japanese capital.

The University of Tokyo has sent people to negotiate with Australia many times, but Australia, with a total population of only 10 to 20 million, has its economic lifeline controlled by European, American and Japanese capital, and has no independent bargaining power at all.

In order to change this situation, Todai can only make up its mind to find a breakthrough in Samba. This time with Qingyun's direct involvement, a lot of money involved in the extra expenditure can be put on the table openly.

Although Qingyun is not involved in ordinary crude steel production business and its demand for iron ore is not large, it invests a lot in electrolytic aluminum and special materials. Samba is also a major exporter of aluminum ore in the world.

It goes without saying that European, American and Japanese capital have implemented consistent trading principles with Dongda for key raw materials such as iron ore, copper, tin and zinc, so the same approach will be taken in the future for aluminum and lithium ore.

Therefore, Qingyun is preparing for a rainy day and must find ways to break this alliance against Todai, and the best breakthrough point is Samba.

Under the strong suggestion of Li Zehua himself (and at the same time, the Jiangsu and Zhejiang capital groups behind the iron ore trade defected and the internal resistance affecting the negotiations was sharply reduced), the top management agreed to use the 2012 benchmark purchase price as the starting point.

Qingyun was authorized to represent the relevant domestic industries in direct negotiations with Samba, and to set a bottom line of no more than 70%, with the 35% price increase proposed by European, American and Japanese capital as the upper limit.

As long as the price can be negotiated within this range, the finance department of Dongda University is willing to issue special bonds for tax rebate subsidies for the import of iron ore and other important raw materials to enhance the international competitiveness of related domestic industries.

Qingyun was also not idle. Li Zehua was willing to take out half of the bond amount for priority subscription, which was equivalent to him lending money to the finance department to support the group's industrial development and reduce costs.

This is a true mutual benefit and win-win cooperation.

No, it’s a win-win-win situation!

Because the excess profits that should have been taken away by Europe, the United States and Japan are now directly given to the Samba government. As long as they dare to make up their minds to launch an antitrust investigation, Vale will inevitably be hit hard.

The reason is very simple. Dongda is Vale's largest buyer, and Samba is its largest source of minerals. Both of their lifelines are in control. How can they not compromise?

Unless mold is willing to fight a world war for Vale, it is destined to be manipulated at will within the rules of the game.

Samba is ready to make a move.

Once successful, Dongda will also benefit greatly, not only because it will have a safe and stable supply channel for strategic raw materials, but also because of Samba's positive transformation.

It will cause a huge chain reaction within South America. For example, Peru and Venezuela, which are already friendly neighbors, will be connected because of Samba's shift. At that time, Venezuela's oil and natural gas and Samba's food and minerals will be combined.

By continuously sending it back to the country through the Port of Chancay in Peru, the economic engine of the University of Tokyo can be fully guaranteed.

Don't forget that next door to Samba is Chile, the world's largest copper exporter, and Argentina, which also has rich natural resources.

Peru, Sambad and Venezuela form a line that runs through the tropical rainforest of South America, which happens to block the path for American capital to move further south. It seems that there will be no impact for the time being.

But over time, as Dongda invests more and more in this area, its influence is bound to rise, especially after the powerful force catches up with the pace of development, we will look back in ten or twenty years.

Maybe the collapse of American and European capital in South America started with the shift to Samba~
"It's not easy to make the decision to take back Samba Oil and Vale shares and fundamentally strike the flour merchants. You should know that even among us, there are many people who are rebellious." Di Luo sighed, "What happened in Luzon, if it happens again in Samba, do we have enough power to quell it?"

Ms. Di Luo is not sure whether she can withstand the pressure. After all, the layout of European and American capital in Samba can be traced back to 200 years ago, and the influence accumulated over time cannot be explained in a few words.

Luida didn't want to give up. "But this is the best chance for Samba to get rid of foreign control in thousands of years. If we miss this chance, we may never have it again."

"Is there any difference? It's nothing more than driving out Ou Meng and Jiaobenji Capital and introducing Dongda Capital. Their purpose is the same, they all want to gain benefits from Samba."

Di Luo didn't want to make a decision so quickly, she said excitedly: "It has been more than two hundred years, from the Portuguese, to the Holan people, to the Daiying, and in the middle we still wanted to get Hans' help.

Finally, the Americans and the Chicken People came, and now it is the turn of Dongda to rise. But every time we are full of hope, hoping that the new capital will treat Samba better.

What is the result?

It's nothing more than being more concealed, and the means of plundering are no longer bloody and direct. It's useless. No matter how good the powerful capital sounds at the beginning, it will eventually eat up the excess profits.

Otherwise, why would they travel thousands of kilometers to come to Samba? "

“But Dongda did not do that. Even in their own private territory in Southeast Asia, they abided by the bottom line and followed the rules agreed with local groups.”

Luida said loudly: "You should know that no business group has ever been willing to spend their own money to grow food on Samba's land.

You are also willing to share 25% of the harvest with Samba Yamen for free at a low price. You know very well that from last year to this year, the food you used to protect the lowest-income people was provided by Qingyun.

No one, no one has ever cared about our feelings. It seems that the high-ranking capital groups are born to occupy the most resources, and they don’t even care about the suffering of the millions.

The people who are still struggling in extreme hunger shed a crocodile tear, even though the root cause of all these tragedies is the evil capital groups who actively caused the trouble.

They just want to take every last penny.

Only Qingyun is different. They are friends who come to help Samba with sincerity and get rid of capital control!"

Di Luo was speechless for a moment, because apart from Qingyun Group, it seemed that no other company was willing to provide Samba with hundreds of thousands of tons of free food aid every year.

Although they bring 75% of their harvest back to Dongda to be turned into raw materials for oil extraction and feed sources, enriching Dongda's dining table, it also creates tens of thousands of jobs for Samba.

Relying on the work of farm employees, tens of thousands of Samba families have their livelihoods guaranteed. Qingyun is not like European and American capital, which tends to use large-scale machinery and pesticides and fertilizers (with very large dosages, usually more than 10 times that of Dongda).

This leads to a rapid loss of nutrients in the Samba soil, and also brings even greater consequences. Because the land cannot be fertilized enough to keep up with consumption, big European and American capital needs to cut down more tropical rainforests.

To obtain a larger planting area.

Others may not know, but the top management of Samba has always been very clear about it. However, for the sake of economic development, they have to turn a blind eye. Only Qingyun and the COFCO Group behind it seem to be really here to farm.

They even took the initiative to spend a large amount of money to sponsor Samba Agriculture, Meteorology, Water Conservancy and other departments to organize scientific research teams to go deep into the fields to conduct scientific and rigorous investigations and analyses on how to help the land naturally restore its fattening ability.

Then every month we come up with some new results to help more surrounding land achieve natural fattening, which is very effective.

As technology advances, Qingyun has put a large number of agricultural drones into use, which can be seen simply by comparing internal data.

The output per acre of Qingyun's hundreds of thousands of acres of owned land in Samba and leased land of the same size is higher than that of land controlled by Europe and the United States, and the amount of fertilizers and pesticides used is also higher.

By reducing these two key costs by 50% and 75% respectively, Qingyun has enough profit to hire more local people.

Not only that, Qingyun also worked with COFCO to establish a primary agricultural product processing system locally to help more local people find jobs.

From Dongda's perspective, it is not economical at all to grow melons, sugarcane, sweet potatoes and other sugar-making raw materials and transport them back to the country. It is better to directly transport finished sugar, which is not only low-cost but also eliminates the risk of quality reduction due to long-distance transportation.

The same is true for corn and wheat. The country is not very interested in retaining this low-end, repetitive, and technologically unsophisticated industrial chain, as long as it has a certain scale.

On the contrary, transferring this low-end production capacity to Samba can reduce production costs, which is killing two birds with one stone.

While Samba benefited greatly from it, it also made it easier for him to have a good impression of the University of Tokyo. Luida and Di Luo saw all of this.

But on the other hand, Di Luo disliked that Dongda and Qingyun were not tough enough, and was afraid that if they operated honestly, they would not be a match for European, American and Japanese capital.

What is more worrying is that when a core conflict arises between the two sides, Todai will be unwilling to come forward to help Samba, after all, it is too far away.

Luida smiled, “That’s why we are determined to promote the construction of the Amazon rainforest artery, because the main investors are from Japan and the United States, hundreds of billions of dollars, and the construction will take several years.

This is enough to completely bind the two companies to Samba's future. As such a huge investment is involved, even if Dongda appears to be harmless, it must fight for its core interests.

For example, Chairman Qingyun Li personally promised me that more than 1 engineering personnel from Dongda University will be involved in the project construction, and one-third of them can be used to support our action to eliminate flour merchants.

As long as you are willing, Samba can always have an additional rumbling force that will absolutely support you. They have no roots and only fight for the common interests of Todai and Samba.

Just think about it, as long as you are determined to do so during your term, you will be able to fundamentally defeat those sewer rats.

I really envy you. As long as you succeed, even after a hundred years, no, a thousand years, the Samba people will remember your contribution. "

Di Luo was obviously persuaded, because she had wanted to get rid of those flour merchants countless times, but it was difficult for her to make up her mind because she did not have enough loyal forces.

Now that the opportunity has come, she also wants to gain wider support by attacking the flour merchants, but she is still a little worried, "What if tens of thousands of people come in?"

“Don’t worry, as long as you think of them as chicken people who have lived in Samba for a long time, who would suspect it?
As long as you agree, the first batch of people can enter immediately. With just half a year to a year of preparation, they can perfectly integrate into the Samba society.

Don’t forget that Qingyun has many businesses that are in contact with real society, such as food delivery, online ride-hailing, and couriers.

At the same time, during this period, we can attract more people to support this great cause through extensive interest bundling.

In terms of public opinion, by holding controlling stakes in WeChat Technology and Douyin Interactive Entertainment, we can control the discourse power of the mobile Internet.

In finance, controlling micropayments can quickly establish financial advantages.

Take back the shares controlled by Samba Petroleum, Vale Group, China Europe Meng, and Jiaobenji Capital, and distribute them to the big groups that support us.

With interests, internal stability can be fully guaranteed. Coupled with external support, the situation will be completely changed in a year.

You are destined to become the greatest figure in the history of Samba, bar none!"

Luida's words hit the nail on the head for Di Luo's greatest hope. She was moved and was frantically thinking about how to succeed... (End of this chapter)
