Winner Takes It All, Resurrection 2009

When it comes to things outside the home, Li Zehua is always only responsible for starting fires, not putting them out. They are not his compatriots, so it's none of his business what happens in the end.

Even if things turned into a mess, it didn't stop him from enjoying the sea breeze and the beautiful scenery leisurely.

"I really admire you for being so open-minded. Even with all the chaos outside, you can still smile."

Zhou Shouyuan, who rushed over from the United States, came with a traditional American business delegation. He led the delegation around the border area and had nothing else to do.

After all, the framework has been agreed upon, and what remains is to fill in the details of the cooperation. Yang Zhichao and Wang Chenglin are present, and as the president in charge of the European and American business groups, it is really not appropriate for him to interfere too much.

I simply gave myself a few days off and came to discuss the next European and American business plans with Li Zehua.

His position in Qingyun is very special. Rather than being a professional manager, it is more appropriate to describe him as a special partner, an ally of interests who brings his own resources into the group.

Li Zehua also expressed his approval. After all, with him in charge in Europe and the United States, he does not have to worry about many things. The Zhou family in Indonesia can be traced back to the Thirteen Hongs period and has strength and foundation in Europe and the United States.

Hearing this, he laughed and said, "Why can't you laugh? This is Samba, not the mainland of Dongda. No matter how many people die, it's just a number to me.

If I hadn't been waiting to meet Di Luo face to face, I would have gone back long ago."

"Diro probably hasn't made up his mind yet, but he is forced by the current environment and feels that it is profitable to take a few steps."

Zhou Shouyuan analyzed: "We still have to be careful of the variables. After all, not everyone is like Du Luode, who is a strong man at heart and has the determination and strength to change.

As for Di Luo, he was just pushed up by Luida. If he stays on the stage for a long time, he might develop his own ideas. "

"Strength is the most important!"

Li Zehua stood up and poured him a glass of white wine. "I have always believed in one thing, no matter how chaotic the outside world is, it doesn't matter what a person says or does, it only matters whether he has the ability to change everything.

Without this thing, even if you are glorious for a while, your true colors will be exposed soon."

On the international stage, you have to be ruthless to come. If you don’t have the strength, you are destined to be fooled around.

It is like Qingyun always brings in companies from the third largest economies in Asia, Africa and Latin America to invest, and when the project is completed and put into production, if the company understands the rules, knows when to advance and retreat, and works honestly.

Qingyun is still willing to leave a piece of the cake for him, but if he dares to have any strange thoughts, sorry, he will be driven out with a random reason, and his investment will be wasted. It is also normal for the rest to be swallowed up by Qingyun.

That's how the big fish eat the small fish. American capital has always wanted to play the same trick with Qingyun, but the interests involved on both sides are too great, and the consequences of playing tricks are unpredictable, so everyone has to compete based on their own abilities.

Even if one party has the upper hand, it dare not go all the way and will leave some benefits for the other party.

Without equal strength and a clear understanding of one's own position, it is not a good idea to try to keep pace with large economies and groups and rely on the strength of others to lay eggs.

This is because large groups make excess profits by swallowing up small and medium-sized groups that attempt to cooperate with them, and by luring them with promising prospects for cooperation.

You just obediently take out money and resources and work hard for the project. Before there is any output, the big group is like a scumbag, whose mind is dominated by the last three seconds. They talk very nicely and will grant your every request.

But once you succeed and have a taste of the pleasure, you will feel embarrassed. When you put on your pants and speak confidently, you are a complete scumbag.

The small and medium-sized groups that had their most important projects taken away from them could only hide in their beds and cry secretly. Over time, they began to follow suit and use the same tactics to deceive even smaller corporate groups.

In short, everyone does this because this business model is the simplest and most efficient. As long as enough benefits are offered as inducements, there will always be people who are attracted by the benefits like moths to a flame.

Otherwise, many cooperative projects that seem to have a bright future will eventually die in the womb or be shelved halfway through implementation. To put it bluntly, all parties involved have their own ulterior motives and cannot work together, so they end up going their separate ways.

The same is true for Li Zehua’s investment in Samba.

The US$500 billion is just an introduction. Even if all the money is invested and lost, Qingyun will not lose a penny, because the success of micropayments in Southeast Asia has been proven.

As long as Internet finance is combined with a certain industry to create wealth, the combination of the two is simply invincible. Micropayments can quickly enter thousands of households due to the convenience of mobile Internet.

Anyone with a smartphone and internet access would not be able to refuse the guaranteed annual interest rate of 8.5%.

Micropayments are not random. At least on the surface, they do not violate any local laws and regulations. They honestly use the raised money (after depositing micropayments, the default is to buy money funds) to buy the government bonds and sovereign funds of the economy.

Or you can buy U.S. Treasury bonds (I want to buy Donggu bonds, but they are in short supply and I can't buy them), and then use these bonds to go to commercial banks and exchange them for a low-interest loan of the same amount.

Finally, they use this money to invest in the development of a certain industry, and with the help of annual book profits of 30-100%, they inflate asset bubbles, repeatedly increase leverage, and borrow other financing.

In multiple financial markets such as stocks, bonds, and foreign exchange, they continue to expand the scale of investment until the day the bubble bursts, and then they dump the market and short sell and leave with excess profits.

As for the top management of Samba, they were not unaware of this set of tactics, but they could not resist the huge benefits of 500 billion US dollars as soon as Qingyun came up. With this money, many things that Samba wanted to do but dared not do instantly had the capital support.

The shares and profits of Micropayment will also be distributed to the Samba Group, which holds the core interests. To put it bluntly, everyone has the same interests and can ignore the hidden dangers.

Maybe they want to take advantage of the opportunity to make a fortune. Who can resist money?

Small and medium-sized groups and government offices that have not benefited from micropayments will not stand up to oppose it, because in theory micropayments are raising prices and promoting capital bubbles.

It will also inject huge liquidity into the market and help small and medium-sized groups solve the problem of financing difficulties. Samba Yamen can gain control over more social wealth in the shortest time.

This includes the most direct increase in tax revenue, rising fiscal revenue, hot-selling government bonds, stable currency value, and a prosperous domestic economic situation. Who can refuse such benefits?
As for the final bubble, I'm sorry, but economic development is cyclical. If you don't take a bite when times are good, will you regret it when the overall economic environment turns bad?

So don’t talk about rules or not. Everyone comes out to make money and have their own little thoughts. A smart person can see through them at a glance. The difference is that you go into a temple to worship the Buddha, and only when the Buddha is full can everyone eat together.

"Boss, can't you be more elegant? Cutting a cake is actually an art. What you said is too vulgar."

Zhou Shouyuan was helpless. "Besides, you already said that others have to eat first. Di Luo didn't get the fattest piece, so naturally he doesn't want to come out and support them."

"That's the problem."

Li Zehua said: "The group behind Luida is the one that determines the future of Samba. Di Luo is in charge of the problem. I can't put the cart before the horse and be close to Di Luo and stay away from Luida, right?

The $20 billion trust fund has been raised in Hong Kong and Singapore. What needs to be done has been done. If Luida cannot prove his worth, then why should I pay?"

Zhou Shouyuan smiled bitterly, "Indeed, I hate places like this where I don't know who has the final say. Southeast Asia is better, there is no question of who is hiding behind the scenes."

“That’s because the place is too small and there are too few people.”

Li Zehua bluntly exposed him, "Samba, Dongda, and the United States are all large economies with vast territories and large populations. The strength of an economic powerhouse is stronger than the largest economy in Southeast Asia.

There are more and more places like this, and they gather together and naturally become large groups that are difficult to eliminate. Any one of them can defeat small and medium-sized economies.

In order to maintain the superficial rules, everyone takes turns to respect the interests of whoever is on the stage, but in turn, the person on the stage must also fully protect the interests of the large group.

Right now, Di Luo has not put himself in the right position. He wants to rely on the support of the big group behind him to gain a firm foothold, but he is unwilling to stand up for the interests of the big group. He wants benefits without taking responsibilities.

Hey, is there such a good thing in the world? "

I thought it was no wonder. The original time and space was almost collapsed by someone who took advantage of the opportunity. It was only because Samba had a good foundation. If it were replaced by a small or medium-sized economy, it might have overturned on the spot.

Even so, Luida was still humiliated. If possible, Li Zehua really didn't want to come to this place where the internal affairs were not handled properly and there were two voices.

However, Samba's position is too important. It is one of the most important chess pieces in the global capital layout of Dongda. Even in the Western Hemisphere, except for France and Austria, no other economy can compare to the importance of Samba to Dongda.

As long as Samba holds on for one day, America will never be able to cut off the transportation channel of strategic raw materials to the East. As for the second when the table is turned over to reveal the truth, nothing else matters.

Zhou Shouyuan could not deny it, "Do you think Di Luo will compromise this time?" "It's inevitable, why should I guess?"

Li Zehua looked relaxed and comfortable. "Unless she doesn't want to continue to stay in this position, she must learn to compromise. If you don't believe me, you can make a bet. It will take at most two days.

She should have invited me to Rio de Janeiro for a talk.”

Zhou Shouyuan looked at his confident eyes and said with a smile: "Although I know it's a trap, I still bet with you."

"Okay, it's boring just to talk about it, let's add some spice. I heard that your family has a plantation covering hundreds of hectares on the largest island in Indonesia. If I win, how about giving me some land to raise pets?"

Li Zehua smiled with a fake smile, seemingly asking for the plantation, but in fact he was testing their reaction, "My friends recently gave me some unique gadgets, and I have to accept them."

He was talking about going to a rich man's house and being forced to accept a few white little monkeys and cute little pandas, which were so adorable that it was hard to refuse.

But bringing the child back to Dongda would be too sensitive. If the news got out, it would cause trouble and people would point fingers at him. He originally wanted to take him to Malaya to raise him. Zhou Shouyuan happened to come over, so he took the opportunity to make this request.

Zhou Shouyuan smiled bitterly and said, "Can you change your request? That is the inheritance passed down by our ancestors. How about I build you a bigger farm in America or Australia?"

He tried to bargain, but Li Zehua was determined to take a fancy to his land and gave a reason that could not be refused, "America is too chaotic, Australia is too far away, it is more reliable to stay in our own country."

Zhou Shouyuan understood that this was a test of his family's sincerity in cooperation, but he had no choice but to rely on the Qingyun system to protect the interests of the Zhou family, even though the Zhou family was strong.

So after thinking hard and weighing it over and over again, he said, "Okay, you're the boss after all."

"That's right. Go back and see if there are any particularly cute little animals in the area and send some to me."

Li Zehua said casually: "There's nothing I can do. My husband has been obsessed with this little guy since he went to the Sichuan Giant Panda Breeding Base.

After all, the situation in China is too sensitive. No matter what, I cannot openly keep a giant panda at home. But it is different in Indonesia. There is no such concern.

It is a good opportunity to do one thing without bothering two people. You can take the trouble to inform the Indonesian government and ask them to ask Dongda University for two giant pandas as envoys of friendship. "

Zhou Shouyuan was dumbfounded. "No, after we bring these things back, they must meet the Chinese people. We can't let them live in the plantation, right?"

"That's not that difficult. Just choose a location outside the plantation and build a zoo there. It will be open to the public on Monday, Wednesday and Friday, and will be maintained on Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday and Sunday. It's a happy decision."

Li Zehua is well-known for protecting his younger sister. Whenever Shen Wanqing wants a star in the sky, he will find a way to buy the naming rights of a certain star.

What could Zhou Shouyuan say? He could only find a way to get things done.

Besides, Li Zehua would not treat him unfairly. After the test, he was very satisfied with the result and said, "Aramco's shares are too eye-catching, forget it.

However, in neighboring Algeria in North Africa, there is a large oil field with astonishing reserves. It has recently been cooperating with the two oil companies. As you know, without sufficient external guarantees for investments of this level, the two oil companies dare not make decisions easily.

It happened that the local person in charge came to me, and I reluctantly agreed to help out and took a 30% share. If your family doesn't mind, you can take 5% and help me keep an eye on it.

In addition, once California Oil, Texas Energy and Venezuela have reached an agreement, the cross-ocean transportation of crude oil to Southeast Asia will be counted at 20% for you.”

Zhou Shouyuan, who was hit by the huge gift package, was overjoyed and said, "Boss, you are so handsome. If I were a woman, I would marry you."

"Forget it. Doing your job well is better than anything else."

Li Zehua smiled and said, "Let's get rich together. It's not right to take your land without compensation."

"Hehe, everyone knows that you are a righteous man, just for this, I respect you."

Zhou Shouyuan was very satisfied, because both the oil field shares and the fat of transportation routes were the resources that the Zhou family had always dreamed of obtaining.

The most crucial thing is to obtain Qingyun’s approval and strong endorsement. Zhou Group can go further in Indonesia’s chemical energy industry. For example, its local refining and chemical business can introduce part of the quota from Singapore.

In this era, for any group, controlling energy means gaining the foundation for a century of prosperity.

Unfortunately, his boss still didn’t agree to the new energy project that he had been dreaming of.

But it doesn’t matter. As long as he can get more benefits for Qingyun Group in Europe and the United States, the group will sooner or later give him chips that satisfy him.

Li Zehua also understood the nature of exchange. How could it be possible to give away all the resources at the bottom of the box all at once?

As for the reason for the bet, no one cared because Di Luo couldn't last two days.

That very night, she came directly to his door, which surprised Li Zehua very much. He had never expected that she was so courageous. He thought that no one who could sit in this position was a simple character.

Di Luo’s request when he personally visited the house was simple, “What protection can I get?”

"Money, shares, future profits, the future of the family? As long as you ask, I will do my best to do it."

Li Zehua made his offer very naturally, just like he was treating an old friend.

Di Luo shook his head. "These are not enough, because I am afraid I don't have enough time to enjoy them."

Li Zehua asked curiously: "What do you want?"

"Help me send my two children to the University of Tokyo."

Di Luo said bluntly: "As long as I take action here, American capital and Ou Meng will not let me get out of control, although the huge benefits you offer will temporarily attract everyone's attention.

But the cake will eventually run out, and if I fail to satisfy their appetite, I’m afraid I’ll be finished soon.”

“Very realistic, but a little too pessimistic.”

Li Zehua shook his head and said, "You can't say you don't understand the power of mobile Internet at all, but at most you only know the surface.

Just like the Southeast Asian economies, even if they are farther away from the mainland of Southeast University, they will stand on my side, because behind the huge interests of 4500 billion US dollars, there is also the mobile Internet media and public opinion controlled by Qingyun.

This is the key point. Now European and American voices are no longer mainstream in Southeast Asia. Even if you borrow a few tweeters from them, don't think of covering up Qingyun's voice.

This is the fundamental, and the fact that the University of Tokyo is willing to fight a decisive battle that is destined to have no winner is my confidence. "

Di Luo said bluntly: "But Dongda is too far away from Samba."

"So you should unite internally and take advantage of the favorable opportunity to integrate all forces together."

Li Zehua instigated, Di Luo was helpless, "But Luida~"

"It is precisely because of him that you need to work harder. Believe me, as long as the Flour War succeeds, you will become the greatest person in the history of Samba, no doubt about it."

Li Zehua said frankly, "No one can refuse greater success. As long as you are willing, Qingyun is willing to do its best to help you succeed.

As for Luida, I believe he will understand, because he also has a share in the bright future."

Di Luo understood the subtext and breathed a sigh of relief. It was not that she did not want to achieve greater success, she was just worried that she would not be able to take the lion's share of the glory of victory.

Anyone in this position would not be able to work hard for others, so she needed a promise, and now Li Zehua gave her real support... (End of this chapter)
