Winner Takes It All, Resurrection 2009

The meeting was still going on, but Li Zehua had no intention of continuing to participate. Perhaps this year's dividends and next year's plans were important to everyone present, but what was really important to him was the evening party.

When communicating face to face with the heads of various business groups, he needs to deal with their real thoughts through casual conversation, such as dissatisfaction, agreement and various other reactions, which are what he needs to deal with carefully.

He was so distracted that he finally got through the one or two hour long meeting. During the meeting, he exchanged opinions with several responsible persons. Before the meeting ended, he spoke:

“Given that some unpleasant things happened just now, I personally didn’t want to make a big fuss. After all, everyone’s starting point is to consider the future of the company.

There are differences, which can be understood..."

After a long paragraph of preparation, several CEOs who had communicated in advance raised their hands and said, "Mr. Li, I don't agree with what you said. Qingyun Industrial Fund made it very clear when it was first established.

We enjoy the added value brought by the company's development by purchasing fund investment shares. We do not directly hold shares and become de facto shareholders, nor do we interfere with the company's development and operation. "

Ye Jingming, who had received the benefit, stood up with a smile and looked around, and continued: "But Ma Zhenghe tried to point fingers at the future development of your company, which obviously exceeded the original agreement.

Here, I can understand Mr. Li’s feelings. After all, we are all good friends and would not cause unpleasantness over a minor dispute.

But as the saying goes, there is no order without rules. Who among you here can guarantee that similar behaviors that cross the bottom line will not occur again in the future?

Friends, we must be vigilant. Is this a simple temptation? I don't think so! At any time, this is a shameful betrayal and a violation of the spirit of public agreement and contract.

First of all, I would like to make a statement here. Regardless of the past, present or future, I personally and the Southern Power Energy Holding Group are very grateful to Mr. Li Zehua and the current management of Qingyun Group.

We are full of confidence and trust, and we firmly believe that under the leadership of the extremely outstanding management team, Qingyun Group will surely move to new levels one after another and bring more benefits to the group's employees and shareholders.

But now some people are trying to spy on or even interfere in the daily management of Qingyun Group under the pretext of caring about the company's specific business development. Please think about this carefully.

If you were in this position, could you do better than the current management?
Can you guarantee that you can intervene in daily management, treat everyone equally, and bring rich returns to investors every year?"

Having said this, he deliberately paused for a moment to give everyone enough time to think.

But everyone here is smart. Even if you think that if I were in power, I would cut a little here and save a little there, or at worst pay the five social insurances and one housing fund and special benefits to millions of full-time employees at the lowest standard, or even cancel them.

By reducing the excess insurance that the company needs to bear to the industry average level, this alone can save more than 10,000 yuan per person each year, based on a huge base of nearly 10 million people.

Isn't this definitely a profit of hundreds of billions?

Cut more than half of Qingyun Agriculture and Pinxixi's township plans, retaining only profitable key township businesses, and reducing the social responsibilities assumed by the companies, such as helping local consumers increase their income and stimulate the consumer market.

When did helping farmers increase their income become a burden for businesses? Isn't this the government's responsibility?

Cutting investment in this area will save at least 200 billion yuan each year. Moreover, given Qingyun's size and importance, even if it is not done, the finance and agriculture departments should provide tens of billions of subsidies each year.

Don’t you still have to give it?
So in fact, many external shareholders are quite dissatisfied with Qingyun’s management. They think that they are extravagant and do not understand the difficulties of capital at all. After everyone invests money, don’t they just want to take away everything?

Now a group of people headed by Li Zehua insist on talking about feelings and putting people first. This is nonsense. It is not as refreshing to become fat in one bite as to eat slowly and steadily.

Although his logic makes sense, an internal circulation economic circle can only be established when the social reservoir is large enough, the grassroots consumers have enough funds for consumption, and there is a stable source of income.

All parties involved in real economic investment and production can indeed obtain more stable profits by expanding the domestic circulation economic circle, and the relatively mild competitive environment is also conducive to sustainable development.

There is nothing wrong with this for small and medium-sized enterprises, because they do benefit from it. It is also good for ordinary people, because the chances of successful entrepreneurship increase, there are more jobs, and you can make money by doing anything.

But everyone here is the boss or actual controller of a large monopoly-oriented group. They don’t need to compete with their peers at all and can crush everything with their size advantage.

In the past, when they intervened in an industry, they would inevitably eat all the food alone, swallowing it all and then contracting out the less profitable parts. In short, they would squeeze out every bit of sunshine from even a piece of stone.

Now they can only watch helplessly as a large number of small and medium-sized enterprises snatch away a large part of their own profits. Their hearts are bleeding and they wish they could snatch the industry advantage away from Qingyun.

Then they start the indiscriminate plundering mode and get their hands on social resources as quickly as possible. As for the future of the industry, it has nothing to do with them. Only the resources they take into their own stomachs are real.

Unfortunately, Qingyun is also a behemoth, especially Qingyun Industrial Fund, which is a proxy shareholding model. In layman's terms, it can be understood as a private equity fund that makes profits by publicly purchasing shares of listed groups.

The fund is a shareholder of the group, but investors who hold fund shares cannot bypass the fund to interfere in the daily affairs of the group. In theory, they have nothing to do with Qingyun Group.

Therefore, this is the core key point that everyone wants to change urgently, and it is also the motivation for Ma Zhenghe to jump out and accuse Qingyun Agriculture. There is a group of people behind him who want to take advantage of this breakthrough and interfere in the internal management of Qingyun.

Then, by placing people in the company, they change the internal performance evaluation method and make more profits for them. After all, there are many people attending the shareholders' meeting (the shareholders' meeting of Qingyun Industrial Fund).

Each of them is a well-known large group in the industry. If everyone can work together to exert collective pressure, Qingyun may not be able to withstand the pressure and may even make compromises.

However, Li Zehua interrupted them in the simplest and most brutal way. Seeing that the situation was not good, the rest of the people immediately adjusted their attitudes to avoid being affected, as for poor Ma Zhenghe.

They had long forgotten about it.

During the meeting, Li Zehua figured everything out, so he readjusted 10% of the shares of major customer Aramco and the newly added copper, iron, tin, zinc and other bulk raw materials from South America.

Venezuela's energy and natural gas, Samba's food and other core resources quickly reached a consensus of interests with several key groups, especially after receiving support from several core strategic groups under the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission.

Li Zehua felt relieved and quickly exchanged views with Ye Jingming and others before he took the initiative to lay the groundwork for the plan.

Although he knew clearly what everyone present was really thinking, Ye Jingming was not afraid of being out of control at all, because the core resources were in the hands of the group headed by Li Zehua.

He took the opportunity to flatter Ma Zheng and the group behind him, and maybe he could even get some resources directly from them, such as the distribution rights after the bulk of raw materials are imported.

Driven by interests, he said calmly: "Since everyone has no objection to Qingyun representing the collective interests of everyone, and agrees with Mr. Li's business philosophy, then next, we have to mention what happened just now.

We must clearly realize that when an individual or a group cannot control their ambitions and tries to get their hands on benefits that do not belong to them, the consequences of not getting what they want and not being satisfied may be serious. "

Everyone's heart skipped a beat and they instantly understood Ye Jingming's thoughts, but it was too late to stop him.

Qin Xiangli, chairman of Runhua Group, who also has his eyes on the energy retail market, also stood up and expressed his views, "For those who don't remember where their drinking water came from and put down their chopsticks to ask for more.

No matter how hard Mr. Li and Qingyun try to benefit everyone, they will not feel the slightest bit of gratitude. Instead, they believe that Qingyun's long-term favorable layout is damaging their interests.

Therefore, Mr. Ye and I propose that, according to the basic terms of the industrial fund's investment, the investment shares of Ma Zhenghe, Bohai Energy Group, and Northwest Energy Company be removed from the industrial fund's investment list."

"I agree!" After taking over the power system of Luneng Group, He Zhongping of Libao was eager to enter the energy consumption market, but he could not find a suitable opportunity. Now he can start with Bohai Energy, he is very happy.

He immediately raised his hand in agreement, "We had agreed on this in the beginning, but now Ma Zhenghe is openly trying to cross the line, how can we tolerate this?
Who can guarantee that if we follow his instructions, we can successfully go abroad and earn excess profits in the international financial market? "

Ye Jingming took the opportunity to say sinisterly: "Don't forget, everyone, it is because of the wise management of Mr. Li Zehua that Qingyun Group can be invincible in the international financial market. If we rashly change people.

Whether there will be such stable income in the future, everyone should think carefully, especially now that the layout of the energy market has become a foregone conclusion. Whoever dares to guarantee success after coming up should stand out. "

This can be considered as forced kidnapping, but everyone just fell for it because the documents sent to everyone clearly mentioned the layout in the second half of 12.

Qingyun has invested no less than 100 billion US dollars in various channels such as the international energy market, financial system, and energy groups, including but not limited to holding short options for the entire next year.

In almost all futures exchanges of major economies around the world, short positions exceeding US$350 billion are held.

Qingyun has recently reached a strategic cooperation with the two oil giants, Singapore, and Indonesia's domestic energy giants, and jointly stepped forward with major oil producers, big cats, Persia and other oil-producing countries to finalize an agreement on quickly replenishing crude oil safety stocks.

This is a cooperation involving a total amount of over US$1500 billion, namely, buying unlimited spot crude oil from oil-producing countries at a price of 60% of the current market price to supplement the country's safety stockpile.

The tankers under China Shipping, COSCO Shipping and China Merchants Group have received clear instructions to carry out a four-month long oil transportation operation from December 2012 to the end of March 12.

By then, oil refineries and storage bases in East Asia and Southeast Asia will fill up all inventory capacities at all costs. This is the final preparation for the energy war that is about to break out.

It is also the ultimate test, which is to find out the attitude of oil-producing countries, because every winter is a fixed period of rising energy prices. Due to the influence of weather, personal heating and corporate production will consume more energy.

In the past, in order to make more money, oil-producing countries would even deliberately arrange production cuts to further stimulate crude oil prices, but this will not work this time.

Because major crude oil consuming countries such as Oumeng, Dongda, Jiaobenji and Baixiang have collectively put pressure on oil-producing countries to lower oil prices if they do not increase production, and increase energy reserves for consuming countries.

Then, several major economies will suppress and restrict oil-producing countries' investments around the world at all costs. In serious cases, they may even impose huge fines and confiscate their own investments.

Although the oil-producing countries have received help from American capital, at the same time, faced with such great pressure, they can only be forced to make selective compromises. After all, American capital cannot cover everything with one hand.

Everyone is stockpiling energy security stocks in advance in order to prepare for the US capital's reaction, which will inevitably force oil-producing countries to cut production, thereby leading to tight global energy supply and further stimulating oil price increases.

This is a game without the smoke of gunpowder but equally dangerous. It's a game of who has more cards. Oil-producing countries don't have much say and can only go with the flow in the competition among major economies.

The bottom line required by the economies of Southeast Asia and Southeast Asia is to increase safety inventory by 45-60 days. To this end, domestic companies that control tanker transportation resources have received specific notices.

After all the oil reserve warehouses are filled, all tankers will stop accepting orders and then linger in the waters of East Asia and Southeast Asia fully loaded with crude oil to replenish the consumption of onshore warehouses at any time.

As the saying goes, if you have food in your hands, you will not be worried. As long as there are enough energy reserves, various economies will be able to launch the final siege against American capital in the next two or three months.

Even if there is a major reduction in world energy production, it cannot threaten the bottom line of each company. It is still unknown whether American capital can withstand the two-month siege. Once Wall Street realizes the crisis, it will want to compromise.

Then the tragic fate of the oil-producing countries is doomed in advance. It is obvious that American capital will certainly not be willing to bear huge losses. The amount of funds involved in the energy game this time is more than trillions of dollars.

If Wall Street dares to admit its losses in full, a new round of financial crisis will probably occur immediately. Therefore, all parties tacitly set their sights on oil-producing countries.

They should be held responsible for the high oil prices of the past two years. They are courting death by trying to make excess profits without the ability to do so.

The big investors have already sensed the danger, so they want to find another backer besides the US capital. Unfortunately, the conflict between oil-producing countries and consuming countries is difficult to mediate...

“So, who can arrange the forces of all parties clearly, gain the common recognition of major economies, and successfully and accurately control every detail in the complex situation?

And after the successful deployment, he can earn huge profits of tens of billions or hundreds of billions of dollars. Then who will ask him to come forward and host this big operation on his behalf? "

Ye Jingming said it very bluntly, "The conditions are here, whoever has the ability can come up."

Looking around, no one dared to respond.

What a joke, if this can be done, why would you come and invest in Qingyun Industrial Fund?
Wouldn't it be great to directly participate in the battle of trillions of funds and become the main force in harvesting large energy companies?
A successful layout can earn you huge profits that a super group cannot earn in decades, and you don’t even have to share it with others. How cool is that?

But no one has the strength to do so. Only Li Zehua personally can make the big investors willingly exchange 10% of Aramco shares for 5% of Qingyun Holdings shares.

This is equivalent to implicitly admitting that the value of the entire Qingyun Group is more than twice that of Aramco. What a concept! A resource exchange starting at 3 trillion US dollars is higher than the peak market value of the two oil companies.

Seeing that everyone was silent, Li Zehua stepped out and pretended to be a good guy, "Please don't be angry, Mr. Ye. I believe that the starting points of the other groups are good, and they are all for the common interests of everyone."

"Mr. Li, you are kind-hearted and want to help us all get rich together. I thank you for that, but I cannot watch someone trying to hinder you at such an important time.

Even if there is only a one in ten thousand chance of affecting the energy layout, it will be blamed for everything. By the same token, this is a betrayal that affects the common interests of all of us!
Tell me, what should we do?"

Ye Jingming played a good double act, and with the cooperation of several others, the rest of the people did not dare to oppose at all. At the same time, the success or failure of the energy futures strategy was directly related to their vital interests.

Who would dare to joke when faced with profits of hundreds of billions of dollars?

Didn’t you see that in the whole year of 2012, Qingyun Industrial Fund only created about 600 billion US dollars in added value dividends (mainly from micropayments, Southeast Asia, and global stock market capitalization growth).

If energy futures are successful, the money will at least double. Everyone is trembling with excitement at the thought that the fifty or sixty groups present will be able to share huge dividends of at least more than one billion US dollars next year.

As a result, the offense and defense changed instantly. Everyone no longer considered whether the people behind Ma Zhenghe had originally had the same interests as themselves. Now that there were better choices, the genius decided to die with Ma Zhenghe.

Moreover, judging from the current situation, they are preparing to clear out these three groups. Wouldn't it be possible for me to get a share of the vacant shares?
Thinking of this, everyone expressed their support and understanding, and some even said obscene words in public in an attempt to get preferential treatment from Li Zehua.

Li Zehua did not despise anyone and accepted all the requests. After confirming the reactions from all parties, he half-heartedly accepted and pretended to be embarrassed, "Alas, everyone has made me suffer.

If this gets out, won't people say I'm heartless and can only share adversity but not wealth?"

“Mr. Li, just rest assured. We have seen the whole process clearly. People like Ma Zhenghe and the group behind him are not worthy of investing in the industrial fund.

You acted according to the contract, and no one can find fault with it."

"That's right, follow the contract and clear them out directly. Such black sheep don't deserve to be here."

For a moment, everyone was outraged!
Poor Ma Zhenghe just picked a mistake, and even though he didn't do anything wrong, he was called to death. Not only was he dragged out and beaten, but his group was also kicked out of the industrial fund... (End of this chapter)
