Winner Takes It All, Resurrection 2009

"Sir, an important call from Yanjing!"

After chatting for a few words, Zhang Tao, who had just come up from the water to change his clothes, came forward respectfully holding the phone. Li Zehua was chatting enthusiastically, and he took the phone and made a gesture to keep quiet.

Then he put on a smiling face and said, "Commander Lou, do you have any instructions?"

"I don't deserve instructions. Who can give instructions to Director Li? Haha." The cheerful voice of Mr. Lou from the Finance Department came over, "I have something to discuss with you. See if you can help me with some advice."

"You say." Li Zehua didn't take it seriously at first.

But after listening to some of it, his brows gradually furrowed, "Boss Lou, when did you switch to poverty alleviation work? This is not easy to do."

"It's easy. I won't ask you, a great man, for help." Mr. Lou said directly, "Right now, the prices of various basic raw materials and daily necessities are rising, and the labor costs of enterprises are rising.

Hidden expenses have all risen to varying degrees, but the basic salary has not increased much. Fortunately, the price of commercial housing has stabilized and has not caused too much social fluctuations.

But the situation in rural areas is still very serious. The higher-ups held several meetings in succession to discuss the issue and eventually formed several multi-pronged plans, but there was a lack of cooperation from private capital.

After much deliberation, we decided that the only option is to rely on Qingyun's Qingyun Agricultural Services and Chichime catering support plans. You have a large scale and a wide coverage area, so we can carry out targeted poverty alleviation.

Directly connecting with farmers based on a township and developing vegetable, fruit, poultry and livestock production and living in the form of centralized procurement is very likely to lead poor areas to prosperity. "

“I understand what you said, and I know the significance of doing this, but Qingyun Agricultural Services has made countless similar choices before, and all of them failed without exception.

There are various reasons. Some rural farmers are uncooperative and unwilling to obey scientific planting and centralized management, but more of them are joint counterattacks from the middle links. This guy has reached the bottom of the matter.

The purchasing and wholesale companies, agricultural trade distribution bases and sales sources will all stand up to oppose it. Almost every county and township has hundreds of complaints that the group is competing with the people for profits, or report that they do not have certificates of conformity.

Without immunization certificates and a franchised catering business license stamped by relevant departments, there will be a lot of trouble. Just do it as required, but the cost will go up after going through various links, and the original intention of supplying and consuming high-quality and low-cost products nearby will not be achieved.

Not to mention leading most people out of poverty and into prosperity, sometimes I even want to just give them money directly, which is better than constantly giving money to fill a bottomless pit.

Really, Mr. Lou, I'm not kidding! I looked at the data report before and found that a branch company invested more than 1.3 million yuan in agriculture in a western township with a population of 600.

In the end, the company suffered a loss of 750 million yuan (the excess was paid as compensation), and this was just the work carried out in one of the villages, which had a total population of only 800 people.

I calculated that your financial support is more than 200 million yuan. If it is cash, each person in the village can get more than 1.2 yuan. Wouldn't this directly help everyone get rid of poverty? Everyone is happy...

I can understand that the people above don't want to support lazy people who get something for nothing, but the people below are so outrageous that not only do they not do anything themselves, they also don't want to let those who are willing to work hard become rich.

Sometimes when I see so many extremely common examples, I really don’t plan to continue doing it.

If you don't do it, you can't blame anyone, because the basis of our government's existence is to eliminate all hidden dangers and safeguard the development of the economy and society. Besides, reversing the unfavorable factors involves too wide a range.

Even if everyone is determined to do better in the short term, it is difficult to say what the results will be.

Therefore, the group can only be forced to make agricultural infrastructure investments in towns and villages that are willing to fully cooperate. At present, it seems good because the overall scale is large enough, even if a few regions sign the contract and then go back on their word.

The group also has enough room to maneuver. The worst that can happen is that the newly built agricultural and vegetable planting base is destroyed and the processing factory that cost millions of dollars is demolished. "Li Zehua reported evasively.

It’s not that he is afraid of offending people, but this is how economic cooperation works at the grassroots level. It’s useless to convince 999 people. As long as one person jumps out to express dissatisfaction, it will lead to many people coming out to want a bigger piece of the pie.

However, the basic attributes of Dongda’s farmland and vegetable fields are there, and anyone can only carry out unified commercial activities through transfer and contracting. In addition, it is too close to the farmers’ homes, and it is impossible to send someone to supervise them at all times.

Therefore, when Qingyun Agricultural Service Company does cost accounting, it usually calculates the loss amount in advance, starting at 20%. No matter how powerful Qingyun is, it cannot prevent millions of people from living next to agricultural production bases.

Ordinary people who would go to the fields and secretly get some specialty agricultural products to add to their meals could only rely on their own conscience to do this, so they now understand that Qingyun Agricultural Service Company's losses far exceeded expectations.

And they must expand outward, even going across the ocean to South America and Africa thousands of miles away to reclaim land and grow crops, right?

Because there are too many people in Dongda University, everyone needs to eat, and all the land is state-owned. Even in the plains, it is difficult to enclose all the land and manage it in a refined manner.

What's more, every now and then a private house pops up in the fields, making it impossible to prevent widespread taking advantage. For example, in a certain place in central China, the Qingyun branch has transferred and contracted thousands of acres of land to grow pumpkins and other vegetables.

As a result, before the harvest season even arrived, most of the pumpkins were picked and made into pumpkin shreds, and finally became a pile of fertilizer. I would like to ask how they could deal with this?
The fence was built to protect against good guys but not bad guys. If there is a gap in it at one place, someone would come and smell the odor and steal all the agricultural products that you worked so hard to grow within three days.

You wouldn't build millions of reinforced concrete walls and put up a layer of high-voltage power grid for protection just to grow millions of pumpkins, right?

Not to mention that the policy does not allow any misuse of basic farmland. Even if the local government makes an exception and allows it, Qingyun is unlikely to invest millions to build a protective wall just for the sake of millions or tens of millions in annual revenue and a maximum of 10% of net profit.

This brings us back to the starting point of the problem: how can we achieve a perfect balance between government offices, enterprises, and farmers?

Mr. Lou's original intention of calling was to see that the large groups headed by the Qingyun Group had earned too many excess profits in the capital market, taking Li Zehua as an example.

Now, predictions of his wealth are almost not allowed to appear in public reports, otherwise there will be big problems!

Isn’t Bill Gates rich enough?
However, the total market value of Microsoft (more than 2014 billion US dollars in 3000) is probably not even a fraction of Li's wealth. How much negative impact would this cause if it were exposed?

Fortunately, the mainstream media around the world are quite cooperative, and no one dares to cross the red line and report privately. Some gossip magazines just make a few comments at most, and even if they have real evidence, they dare not offend.

Li Zehua is also busy packaging and transferring his personal shares to various vest funds to avoid leaks of public information after listing, such as in listed companies.

His name rarely appears in publicly licensed funds, in an effort to downplay the negative impact.

However, since March 2014, with the new round of monetary easing by the central bank, the circulation value of RMB has exceeded one hundred trillion for the first time, and as an inevitable result, the increase in high-quality assets has been astonishing.

In particular, the Shanghai, Shenzhen and Hong Kong stock exchanges in the mainland, which were selected as capital sedimentation pools, and the Singapore stock exchanges have generally achieved the economic miracle of doubling, and there are currently no signs of stagnation and reversal.

From 4 points to more than 9, many blue-chip stocks have doubled in share price. For example, the combined market value of the two oil companies has increased from the initial trillion RMB to over trillion RMB.

The extra profits were then invested in the stock market through bank loans, financial mortgages and other means, even though the higher authorities repeatedly stressed that the profits should not exceed 50% of the actual market value.

It also cannot stop all kinds of capital that want to get rich from trying to find loopholes. For example, if they cannot get collateral from financial institutions, they will use high interest rates to absorb social wealth, and then invest the funds in the stock market in the name of the company by subscribing to corporate bonds, etc.

It is difficult for the higher-ups to publicly call a halt, because even if domestic investors don’t buy, foreign investors will. Squid Capital Group and Oumeng, traditional American investors, Jiaobenji and other international hot money will pour in crazily.

In 2013, the mainland actually utilized more than 1.6 trillion US dollars of foreign capital (because a large amount of RMB went overseas, which in turn stimulated the accelerated exchange of international settlement currencies such as the US dollar with the RMB, and the use of RMB to invest in the mainland).

Regardless of whether the money is used to invest in industrial manufacturing or to purchase high-quality assets or real estate, it will inevitably be mortgaged and then flow into the capital market. With a lot of money and few assets, the horrific premium acquisitions have indirectly promoted inflation. Fortunately, the top leaders have always insisted on the bottom line and the basic materials for people's livelihood are publicly guaranteed by the government, so that ordinary people's pockets have not been emptied.

However, the speed at which big capital makes money still surprised the upper echelons. Take Zhongxin Financial Group, which went long with Qingyun, for example. The financial assets it held at the end of 2012 were reallocated.

Most of it was divided up by the then rivals Qingyun Group, Runhua Group and other groups, leaving a stock market value of only more than 700 billion RMB.

However, by the end of September 2014, within just 9 months, Zhongxin Financial Group's proprietary trading department alone held a circulating market value of more than 20 billion RMB in the Shanghai, Shenzhen, Hong Kong and Singapore stock markets.

The 62 private and public funds approved for issuance by Zhongxin also hold products with a market value of more than 1500 billion RMB on the above-mentioned exchanges.

The situation of other groups is almost similar, but as a whole they have not broken the bottom line set out above, which is that financial investment must be made, but the development of the real economy must not be ignored just because finance is too profitable.

If it were a capitalist who only cares about immediate interests, he would certainly not abide by this rule, but Li Zehua started his career by investing in the Internet, traditional manufacturing, and service industries.

He would never give up the foundation of traditional industry at any time, because it is the basis of his survival. He does not have a strong background, but he controls trillions or even tens of trillions of funds.

There are people trying to spy on him, test him, and take advantage of him all the time. It is the Qingyun Group's tens of millions of main consumers who support him, and they are the reason why Li Zehua can continue to live a carefree life.

It contributes more than 300 billion yuan in premium income to the three major security funds every year, and additionally contributes more than 1 trillion yuan in premium income to commercial insurance business in non-basic security areas. What a contribution this is!

The more than 20 million online ride-hailing vehicles and transport vehicles operated and affiliated with Qingyun alone pay insurance premiums ranging from several thousand to tens of thousands of yuan to the eight major insurance groups every year.

Not to mention that Qingyun is the enterprise with the most complete basic security construction among private capital. The six insurances and one fund and the punch-in salary that is 1.5 times the social average salary are enough to make the government smile.

The most crucial thing is that these more than 4 million people plus the families behind them directly affect more than % of the total population of Southeast Asia and Southeast Asia, which has invisibly created a highly competitive consumer market.

Only with a stable source of income can there be consumption motivation, and only then can major consumer markets such as consumer electronics, automobiles and housing become active. Take luxury goods consumption as an example.

In the past two years, the Qingyun Group and some central state-owned enterprises, as well as capital cooperation from Chaozhou, southern Fujian, Jiangsu and Zhejiang, have at least regained a merchandise share of 500 billion RMB per year from French and American luxury groups.

This alone has created more than 20 high-end jobs in handicrafts and aquaculture for the southeast coast, and contributed more than 150 billion in production and circulation taxes.

As the Eastern luxury goods industry chain of bags, perfumes, high-end clothing and other luxury goods gradually develops, the consumption potential of the Eastern world alone will be more than one trillion RMB per year in the future.

This is certainly due to the support of gold, jewelry, and traditional cultural products (such as jade, tradable antiques, and historical and cultural products), but the ultimate beneficiary is the domestic economy.

The luxury tax rate of 30-75% and the jobs contributed by the handicraft industry (which advocates that raw materials are scarce and that high-end products are made by handicraftsmen) are enough to make countless cities happy.

Under the premise that domestic capital does not make money but foreign capital does, the upper class can only turn a blind eye. After all, if domestic capital makes money, the final consumption power and investment will still be in the local area, while if foreign capital makes money, it will just buy low and sell high and then leave with the money.

But the problem is!

The higher-ups didn't expect that this guy could make so much money!

What does it mean to double investment assets worth tens of trillions or even hundreds of trillions?
Just the basic base of the top ten listed companies in Dongda, led by the two oil companies, has brought a huge wealth appreciation of more than 10 trillion RMB to the investors who pushed the rise behind the scenes.

Not to mention that the Qingyun Group is about to go public, and together with its allied companies at home and abroad, it will create a new stock market myth by then, such as the market value of the entrusted deposit shares allocated by Aramco to Hong Kong Singapore transactions.

It is more than 40%. Based on the estimated market value of 2 trillion US dollars, the total value will exceed trillion US dollars, or more than trillion RMB. By then, big capital will have to take a big bite, especially Qingyun through negotiations with large investors.

从原本10%占股谈到今天的15%（上市后会稀释到11.25%），仅此一项就价值超过1.6万亿软妹币，更别提青云李某人在微支付占据的40%多个人股份。

It is simply beyond the limits of human imagination. Currently, the total size of external funds managed by Micropayment is around 1.5 trillion US dollars, which can be affected by the surge in global mainstream assets in 2013 and the first half of 2014.

And the influence of the shares in major global exchanges, especially the profits made in several major financial wars, its total revenue in 12-14 (14 is the first half of the year) was US$370 billion respectively.

910亿美元和2014年上半年的550亿美元，可利润率从未低于40%，换句话说2014年度如果不出意外，微支付将创记录的贡献超过400亿美元的净利润。

It is no wonder that the market has given Micropay a minimum valuation of US$1 trillion. Not only does it manage a number of funds worth more than US$ trillion worldwide, it also has an extremely large proprietary trading department.

The proprietary funds alone exceed US$2000 billion (mainly raised through financing with an interest rate of 8.5%), and many of the private equity funds are Qingyun’s proprietary funds, but they have been hidden by someone else.

Who wouldn’t be jealous of this terrifying money-making efficiency?
Mr. Lou represented the higher-ups and wanted to retain the capital gains, and at the same time he wanted to find out Mr. Li's attitude through this matter. After all, no one can stop the rising trend of high-quality assets.

If domestic capital does not buy and make money, foreign capital will try every means to squeeze in and make money. It is better to let domestic capital make money than to let outsiders get the advantage, but how to distribute it becomes a big problem.

Mr. Li is also afraid. He has so much money that he feels dizzy. When he donates 1 billion yuan every day but it still can't keep up with the speed of making money, he becomes speechless to the extreme, and fear follows.

"My brother's matter involves all aspects. Enterprises cannot have unlimited guarantees, otherwise there will be endless troubles in the future. You still have to find a way to control it, otherwise Qingyun Agricultural Services will go out and get tens of millions of hectares of land.

Domestic sales of agricultural products are good, but how can we cultivate a consumer market? "Boss Lou has never encountered such a strange thing before, that a company is about to control the annual GDP of a large economy.

There is no experience in the whole world!

"To expand domestic demand, all enterprises involved in domestic trade in coastal areas will be relocated to the central and western regions (mainly the seven provinces of Henan, Anhui, Hubei, Hunan, Sichuan, Chongqing and Qinhuangdao, as well as Yunnan and Guangxi in the new Yunnan-Myanmar corridor. As for the Northeast, we are waiting for the dispute between the two cats to intensify and take the opportunity to discuss the sea route).

In principle, the creation of no less than 8 million manufacturing jobs and 25 million service jobs in the central and western regions, as well as the transfer of some scientific research and emerging industries are all being done step by step. "Li Zehua can only do Tai Chi.

There is no other way, he really doesn’t want to touch agriculture anymore. “As for rural farmers, they should find a way to move from mountainous areas to plains, and from plains to cities. At this stage, if you can bring out one in the manufacturing and service industries, you can bring out a whole group.

Even at the age of 60, one can participate in social and economic development, and a monthly salary of 5000 yuan can support a family (the cost of commercial housing and rental housing has been reduced by more than half compared to the original time and space). As long as we grasp the smart manufacturing strategy and do not let go, the power will be enhanced.

If we ensure that Dongda's foreign trade transport ships can safely dock at third-party ports, conduct free trade and settle accounts with RMB, then Europe and the United States will never be able to interrupt this process.

With the continuous flow of mineral raw materials and food from all over the world, our industrial products can be sold unimpeded around the world, and this model can operate for at least 30 years.

As for 30 years from now, that is something the next generation should consider. Maybe we will all be mining in outer space. By then, materials will be extremely abundant, and we won’t have to worry about the cost of food and clothing at all.”

"I appreciate your good words, but the current problems still exist. You have to set an example. If the farmers' problems are not solved, urbanization will not be a panacea." Mr. Lou is the middleman.

If he fails to reach an agreement, the big boss will come out and give him a spanking. After conveying the message, he was still quite satisfied. At least Li Zehua's attitude was very good, especially on expanding domestic demand and wealth distribution.

Qingyun has done quite well. It has maintained its competitive advantage worldwide without any bottom-line guarantee. The most important thing is that it does not wait or rely on others. It is not only not a burden but also can snatch food from the mouths of foreign capital.

It was just too radical, so conservatives once thought he wanted to start a world war... (End of this chapter)
