Winner Takes It All, Resurrection 2009

On the surface, everyone is relying on their own abilities, but in private, their blades have long been stagnant in dark corners that are difficult for ordinary people to detect. They are all sharpening their blades against each other, and the future and destiny of countless people have been changed because of this.

What’s even more frightening is that this brutal battle involving countless people is far from over.

In the end, no one knows how many lives will be lost before the top leaders of both sides are forced to reach an agreement after realizing that further fighting will only result in mutual destruction and no profit.

But when the upper echelons shake hands and make peace, the people below will never realize that they are just insignificant chess pieces on the chessboard, and no matter how much they lose, the chess player will not frown.

The only value of their sacrifice is to gain a slight advantage for their side, which can be used as a bargaining chip in high-level negotiations to force the other side to make concessions on certain things.

It may be because the high-level negotiators were in a bad state and said something wrong, which gave the other party a handle, causing the advantages that countless people had paid everything for to be lost.

Don't doubt it, this world is so realistic. Its underlying operating logic does not believe in anyone's incompetence, rage and tears. If you win, you win. If you lose, you must be fully prepared to make a comeback next time.

As for the spectators who seem to be unaffected and do not have to pay a tragic price, they don't have to laugh, because the saddest thing in life is not being used by others and gaining nothing, but not even having the qualifications to be used by others.

This is the reality. All parties who can participate in the energy war between American capital and Dongda Europe and Meng Jiaoben Chicken, even the front-line personnel responsible for direct actions, are at least elite ones selected from hundreds.

They are few and far between, let alone those software engineers and senior white-collar workers who sit in offices and earn hundreds of thousands of dollars a year typing away on keyboards.

Even they are only fit to be cogs in this war, responsible for handling simple tasks and helping out on the periphery.

The big shots who can really influence the course of events are all sitting in small rooms or conference rooms. Every decision they make involves millions or tens of millions of dollars, which they pour into the capital market at some point to participate in the game.

Those who can make decisions at a higher level are even rarer. There may not be one among millions of people. The higher they stand, the farther they can see.

At Li Zehua's level, many things can actually only be seen through data reports. It is difficult to delve into how much blood and tears are hidden behind each set of data, and how many people have paid the price with their lives.

The authenticity can be barely verified, or it may be the result of countless people working day and night to carefully select the real data from a large amount of complicated and useless data information. In short, it is the result of countless people's efforts.

To him, all of them become evidence for making decisions. If he thinks something is wrong, he will simply abandon it. If he thinks it is okay, he will keep it. The corresponding behind-the-scenes staff will get a share of the huge profits.

The insignificant rewards may only be left with a few tens of thousands of yuan in the hands of the front-line workers, or even just a perfunctory verbal reward of "well done".

But all of this is a true reflection of reality. If you want to earn more, you have to work hard to climb up and try to appear in front of Li Zehua to report in person. In this way, no one will dare to deduct the reward if you are rewarded in person.

Maybe you will be noticed and rise to the top because of this!
Of course, this kind of lucky person may not appear once a year...

"Let all seats, accounts, financial institutions and funds that can be contacted hold the $120 mark at all costs. Never let Wall Street raise the price again." Lin Wenhui tugged at his tie and roared without caring about his image.

"No matter how difficult it is, don't bargain. Anyway, I have already survived for three days. The boss has personally ordered me to hold on for at least five trading days!
If you can't do it, just dig a hole and bury yourself."

After hanging up the phone, he panted and asked Yao Xiangjun next to him, "How are you doing over there?"

"It's still the same. No matter how many short orders are opened, they will be eaten up in less than three seconds." Yao Xiangjun frowned, "The situation is similar at several core institutions headed by the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission.

Wall Street is really trying its best this time. Perhaps they themselves know very well that once the North Sea oil shock and production cuts by other oil-producing countries are combined, they will not be able to raise prices.

Then there is only one result waiting for them.”

Lin Wenhui was also a little furious. "Damn, how could this happen? Aren't they afraid of being trapped and dying without a burial place?"

"There is no way to retreat, we can only fight to the death." Gu Shijie walked in at some point and continued, "As of today, the group has purchased spot crude oil, margin and total funds invested in the futures market.

It has exceeded 700 billion US dollars. There are also the five major banks led by the Central Bank of the East and large state-owned financial institutions. They have invested more than 200 billion US dollars in the country alone to suppress oil prices.

Add to that external economies such as Southeast Asia and Europe, and the amount of money invested is more than 100 billion US dollars. I believe that the amount on Wall Street will be several times more.

What does this mean? No matter which side loses, the only outcome waiting for it is hell.

So now no one can retreat, no one dares to retreat. If we hold on to the last second, victory will definitely be ours!
Because Wall Street has become fed up with the shale oil projects controlled by Angola Capital. Once it takes action, it will inevitably push this decisive force over.

Haven’t you seen that the capital led by Mr. Ma has been gradually clearing out the long orders in their hands and starting to gradually build up short positions?

These people are the core capital representatives. Once they all start to consider their own interests, do you think the group is far from a complete victory?

Just wait and see. The 120 mark is the last attempt by traditional American capital to save itself. Wait and you will have a chance. "

"Yes!" Lin Wenhui encouraged himself, "The boss said that even if Wall Street fights hard, it will just end in mutual destruction. As long as those people cherish their lives a little bit, they will definitely lose.

Because almost all transportation resources are now in our hands, even if Wall Street can order American companies to breach contracts, it will not be able to mobilize enough ships within a few months.

As long as they take away the crude oil delivered by exchanges in various economies, we will definitely win.

Now, as long as we can wait until the shale oil projects controlled by traditional American capital undergo drastic changes and Ansa and Squid Capital Group part ways, the oil price will definitely not break 120, and may even turn down to 100 US dollars.

By then, we will kill the speculators first, and then lock up all the major financial institutions on Wall Street. We will just wait for all parties to coordinate and target $65 or even $50, and then everything will be settled!"

Both sides are well aware that it is impossible to determine the winner of a head-on battle involving each side investing hundreds of billions of dollars in a short period of time.

Wall Street wants to push the price up to $130 or even $140 in one go to recover all losses (the original book profit, in fact, Wall Street started with $40 and has made huge profits).

Then gradually close positions and follow short selling to hedge risks.

But now, the capital group headed by Ou Mengdongda holds an unbeatable trump card (transportation resources and strategic reserves, and declining market demand), and does not give Wall Street any time to compromise and change positions.

He just wanted to get to $100 in one go, and then after adjustments and negotiations, reach an agreement with Wall Street. If American capital agreed to most of Ou Meng's conditions, then Ou Meng would also be willing to give up his interests.

In order to allow American capital to have a share of the pie, for example, Europe should stop launching investigations and attacks on core European industrial groups and give up some control over the mobile Internet.

As well as ensuring that there is no threat in the military field, the euro's market share in the international monetary settlement system also includes the crucial US capital to lift its layout in Husky and Ermao and relax its overall oppression on European Meng.

If they disagree, Ou Meng will completely drive down the international oil price in one go and give Wall Street an unprecedented lesson. As for Dongda, it is completely taking advantage of the situation.

Dongda is not happy to see American capital win.

Ou Meng won easily and even completely took back the initiative of Europe and the United States in dominating the world order, which was not something the University of Tokyo was happy to see.

In fact, many economies, including the Qingyun Group, are more afraid of Ou Meng’s new economic decision, which on the surface is the Smart Industry 4.0 plan proposed by Hans.

In fact, Oumeng, led by Hans, is ambitiously trying to build a new system in which Central and Western Europe build high-end productivity, and Eastern and Southeastern Europe develop low-end industrial chains.

There is no such thing as deception in the strategy of a major power. As long as you do it, the other side will see it clearly. The reason why it can be successful is entirely because the internal party is always determined to move forward.

Because everyone is a makeshift team, there are all kinds of voices within the team. Even though everyone knows that the opponent is growing stronger, they are unable to unite to stop it due to their own interests.

Europe's geographical environment and historical heritage are simply unparalleled in the world. Traditional European powers are all industrial powers. Hundreds of years of external expansion have accumulated huge wealth that is unimaginable to the outside world.

It has high-end, large-scale, market, capital and technology, and most importantly, a steady supply of cheap labor from Eastern and Southeast Europe. What's even more infuriating is that the world's four largest energy supply bases are all around Europe.

The east is Eastern Europe and the Big Cats, which are famous for their cheap energy, rich natural minerals and agriculture.

Southeastern Asia is the region with the largest oil and gas reserves for export in the world.

To the south is North Africa, where the desert contains endless energy minerals and tropical economic crops.

Across the Atlantic Ocean to the west, the entire South America is a poor and backward supply base for primary products, including copper, iron, aluminum, grain, timber, gold, silver, zinc, tin, lithium, and nickel needed for modern industrialization.

In short, all the cheap minerals, energy, and food needed for human industrial production can be easily obtained around Oumeng.

So it seems that the whole world is trying to get rid of the control of American capital, but in fact they are all trying to trip up Ou Meng in various ways. Otherwise, Ou Meng would not appear in the future even if he would rather go to hell.

They are also unwilling to accept the olive branch from the University of Tokyo, because 50% of the credit for the disintegration of Oumeng goes to the University of Tokyo. Without it, even after a hundred or a thousand years, Oumeng will not be able to survive.

Ou Meng can continue to rest on his laurels and live a life of luxury. It can be said that American capital may not necessarily resent Tokyo University for taking away the dominance of the world order, but it is facing Tokyo University that has pushed it into a bottomless pit.

Ou Meng's hatred came from the bottom of his heart.

Therefore, Ou Meng only wanted to reconcile with American capital and join forces to deal with Dongda, but American capital wanted everything. It overestimated its own strength and could not see the current situation clearly.

He thought that he had completely crushed Ou Meng in the fields of finance, military, mobile Internet, media and public opinion, and he could completely defeat it first and then come back to deal with Dongda.

Ou Meng was in tears but could not surrender, so he could only try to survive. However, there was a core problem that he could never get rid of.

That is, is Europe an entity that benefits everyone, or is it a tool used by a few individual economies to dominate the world?

Hans and Gaul remained silent after hearing this, while Dai Ying was jumping up and down on the periphery, almost saying out loud, "If you support me, I will restore our former glory."

Because the economic development of the European powers was and is uneven, if they insist on promoting the euro, then when faced with an economic crisis, they will not be able to adapt and alleviate the crisis by devaluing their own currencies, as Greece did.

They can only be forced to lie down and let things rot, and then rely on Europe to eat up the big customers through fiscal transfers and low-interest loans. What else can they do? It is just a single economy.

They cannot control Europe and cannot forcibly escape from their development difficulties by devaluing the euro.

After all, Hans Gaul would not agree, because the entire euro market is their largest source of income, and the low-end industrial system in Eastern Europe that was originally planned to divert conflicts has not been established.

If the plan to establish the world's only high-, medium- and low-end industrial cluster through East and West Europe and thereby gain absolute advantage and create a situation where the world supports Europe does not materialize, it is impossible to change this underlying logic.

Therefore, Ou Meng's complicated feelings towards Dongda stem from this. He can't do without it, but he is also jealous of it. He also has to face the industrial upgrading of Dongda after the scale of its mid- and low-end industries has grown, further snatching the living space for Ou Meng's high-end industrial production.

But discovering a problem does not mean solving it. Oumeng is in chaos internally, everyone has their own agenda, and even brothers are dividing up the family business and arguing over a few hundred dollars.

What's more, more than 20 economies come together to share a piece of the pie, and the fact that they don't fight each other shows that the Troika has a smart strategy!
This is the reality. Everything is on the table, and no one can try to steal. But I bet you have more important things to deal with, and you can only use part of your strength to stop me from achieving my goal!

Everyone is competing and racing against time to achieve their own strategic goals, and then crush the opponent's strategy at the last second before success!
Now it was Dongda's turn to make a move. Gu Shijie, on behalf of Li Zehua, took the lead in playing the first decisive card: "Notify Wu Yibin, Xiao Chengdong and Wang Xing to come over immediately for a meeting!
Let the entire Strategic Decision Committee prepare for a voting meeting tonight!"

"Let WeChat, Douyin Interactive Entertainment and Weifuli open personal accounts now, and buy and sell financial derivatives directly from the backend..." Lin Wenhui's face was solemn, "Should I ask the boss for permission for such a big thing first?"

"The boss ordered this." Gu Shijie said coldly, "If you have any questions, we can discuss it at the meeting tonight."

US capital has increased the difficulty for individual users to invest in US stock futures. Qingyun has responded by directly mobilizing its hundreds of millions of users and bypassing the problem using the ant-moving method.

For example, what should an ordinary person do if he only has a few thousand dollars but doesn’t want to miss this opportunity to make a fortune?
It’s easy. Qingyun can create a public fund and sell it for only one hundred yuan. The risks are explained in advance and the funds can be redeemed at any time, thus perfectly circumventing the supervision of various economies!

But a little bit adds up to a lot, and even if only 1/100 of the hundreds of millions of users participate, it will be a staggering amount of money.

At that time, Qingyun will directly transfer the money from long purchases to its own accounts through the Hong Kong and Singapore exchanges under its control, and the funds from short sales will be sent to the New York Stock Exchange and the Chicago Stock Exchange.

This involves huge amounts of money from millions of investors, and American capital would have to be crazy to blatantly embezzle it. Once the price of crude oil begins to collapse, Qingyun will definitely push it to all investors at the first opportunity.

In order to attract more people to rush in with the dream of getting rich, maybe even American investors will come to donate money. By then, with the huge power of tens of millions of people gathered, will Wall Street want to try some tricks?

This is the first killer move, to lure enough people into the water so that Wall Street will not dare to meddle in crude oil futures. After all, energy futures can result in a loss of hundreds of billions of dollars.

They can still make up for some of their losses through smaller brothers such as small-time investors and big investors, but if they anger the majority of investors around the world, it will be difficult for Wall Street to raise funds in the future.

A filling meal every time, the choice is yours.

As for such a big thing where three major groups were to suffer at the same time, why didn't Li Zehua personally keep an eye on it?

Sorry, he is also a human being, not a god. Although there are still dangers in the intense preparations over the past few months, the overall situation has been preliminarily settled.

As for the rest, unless there is an emergency, he won't keep an eye on it all the time.

At this moment, he is in the manor in the western suburbs of Magic City, cuddling with Shen Wanyi.

"You are too cruel. Is work so important? You have been away from home for half a month. Do you know how I have been spending this half month?" Li Zehua was furious and refused to let me go even when I was taking a break.

Shen Wanyi just curled up quietly in his arms and comforted him, "Be good, next time you must go home after get off work."

This time she went to the Northwest, and spent billions of RMB in one breath. In short, the husband worked hard to make money, and the wife spent a lot of money on Huabei. While gaining a good reputation, Shen Wanyi finally found the meaning of life.

After being caught in the rain, she wanted to hold an umbrella for everyone. Fortunately, she had a bottom line and helped the elderly, the weak, the sick and the disabled in emergencies but not the poor.

Poor Li, Yu Li went to Hong Kong, Lin Qingyi and Wu Qingyu dare not come to Shanghai, for fear of being discovered by Shen Wanqing. This little girl has been getting more and more outrageous recently, calling her whenever she has something to do, and coming to check on her if she notices something is wrong.

Now that he is in college and has more time, Li has no choice.

Lin Wan had to take care of two children alone, so she had no time to take care of him. As for the extra child, of course Fu Yujie was the hands-off boss. She went back to work as soon as she recovered, for fear of losing control of Chaoxu Electronics.

The energy futures war is related to the life and death of the group. Li Zehua dare not leave the Magic City, so he can only bear it alone, and occasionally wait for Xixi and Shishi to pass by the Magic City, only then can he relieve his worries.

This life was so unbearable that he couldn't help but complain, "Take care of your sister. She is so suspicious that she has gone crazy."

Shen Wanyi smiled meaningfully, "You've spoiled me like that. Someone even promised to give me a special gift for the college entrance exam, but now the first semester of college is over, where is the gift?"

"Even if she wants the stars in the sky, I can pick them down. The key is how would I know what she wants if she doesn't tell me?" Li Zehua looked confused.

"Then you can take your time to guess, but you'd better think it over carefully. She doesn't look kindly upon Shen Wanjun." Shen Wanyi was not in the Magic City, but she also knew some of the news. "You should try to avoid going to her workplace as much as possible."

He jumped up instantly like a cat whose tail was stepped on, "What are you saying? Slander, pure slander against me!" (End of this chapter)
