Winner Takes It All, Resurrection 2009

"The situation has gotten out of control." As economic data from all aspects were summarized in Shanghai, Gu Shijie, who stayed at the company headquarters, could no longer sit still.

While reporting to Li Zehua over the phone, he could not help but sigh, "The operating rights of a copper mine in Jiangxi Province were sold for 155 billion yuan last month, a total of 7.75 million yuan per year for years.

This is simply crazy. It would have been impossible two years ago. Not to mention whether the economic environment in the next 20 years will be favorable, the investment in subsequent equipment, screening, smelting and transportation alone is an astronomical figure.

Now, more than 10 billion can be taken away by just entering the market with just one qualification. Isn't this crazy?
The Chilean area, which has similar specific parameters, had an exclusive operating rights transaction in June this year for only US$6 million, which is only about 7 billion RMB, even if the transportation fee and tariff are added.

It's not that outrageous, a three-fold difference, these capital groups are really ruthless. "

"It's just a reasonable thing." Li Zehua shook his head. "Let it be. As long as the prices of basic necessities don't rise, anything is acceptable. I can't miss this last round of God-given opportunity of skyrocketing prices!"

“But the money was borrowed through financial financing channels. Once the prices of core assets can no longer hold up and start to fall, the hard-earned money of countless investors will be lost.” Gu Shijie is from Qingyun.

The person who supports Li Zehua the most is the number one person who crazily supports his economic cycle theory, which states that the expansion of manufacturing industry cannot be separated from the support of financial capital, but conversely, the manufacturing industry must also be vigilant and try to influence and control the financial industry.

Prevent the financial industry from taking advantage of its information and capital advantages to engage in predatory and destructive harvesting of target consumer markets, especially avoiding damaging the roots of the leeks when harvesting them.

Once we discover that a company in the financial industry is trying to cross the bottom line and engage in despicable behavior of uprooting the leeks, we must unite with all other companies that abide by the common rules and impose the most severe punishment on it.

Only when leeks continue to grow and contribute labor value to the system can they keep up with the production scale of the overall industrial system and provide the necessary consumption capacity.

Only this system can survive and be maintained in the long run. As for the problem of too rapid increase in industrial-scale production capacity, industry balance can be achieved through internal competition in efficiency and cost, optimization of sales channels, and continuous elimination of backward production capacity.

This is the foundation of the internal circulation and the world trade system that will inevitably be dominated by Southeast University in the future!

Any individual link must be included in the overall comprehensive consideration, and no industry is allowed to cross the bottom line, use its own advantages to excessively earn excess profits, and thus bring down the entire system.

Li Zehua has been working hard to sell this theory and has gained wide recognition. The authorities are seriously considering and advancing its core theory, such as relaxing fertility policies in 2012 to stimulate population size.

Maintain the overall quality and quantity of compulsory education in Southeast University, promote the stability and advancement of Southeast University's industrial system, and give up supporting the Magic City, so that Pengcheng can become the world's new financial center.

Because the existing productivity model determines that an economy cannot maintain both financial hegemony and industrial hegemony at the same time, it is almost impossible for financial capital that has made quick money to continue to take root in the manufacturing industry.

Not to mention establishing long-term strategic planning to safeguard the manufacturing industry.

Therefore, the top leaders of Dongda University have almost reached a consensus so far. Even the strong opposition from Zhongxin Financial Capital and HSBC is useless. Under the promotion of Qingyun Group and its allies, Dongda University's development path of continuing to maintain industrial hegemony has been established as a priority.

Maintaining a population of 14 billion or even more, with universal bottom-line guarantees and appropriate emphasis on science and engineering education, we will comprehensively seize all science and engineering research systems in the human economic society until complete victory is achieved.

Its core symbol is that Todai will lead all mankind to completely leave the earth and move towards the era of interstellar navigation.

Financial hegemony is located in Singapore and Hong Kong, but it is still unclear which city is more suitable for the New York or London model.

Hong Kong is destined to merge with Pengcheng in the future, and by then it will become an Oriental Pearl with a population of over 3500-4000 million, based on high-tech industrial chain research and development and top-notch high-tech manufacturing.

It will bring unparalleled shock to the whole world, but within its urban development positioning, there is also a dispute over the positioning of the primary and secondary markets of the financial industry.

Primary markets such as New York often make extensive angel round investments in companies with development potential before they grow up, and then provide support all the way until they go public.

Secondary markets such as London mainly participate in mature primary and secondary futures transactions. If black gold transactions are included, the market value of London's circulating currency is actually not much less than that of New York.

But this involves an unavoidable reality, that is, if Tokyo University wants to maintain its industrial hegemony, it must stabilize the value of its currency, that is, the value of the RMB cannot be too high.

In the current international environment, it is very appropriate to maintain an exchange rate of 8 to 1 against the US dollar, but the Federal Reserve behind the US dollar is an unavoidable topic. Dongda wants to establish a world trade settlement system with the RMB as the core.

First of all, we must replace the US dollar. To defeat the US dollar, we must eliminate its financial and military advantages. This in turn leads to a rebuttal: if we lose, everything is just wishful thinking.

If we win the war, we will be in real trouble, because the RMB has replaced the US dollar as the world currency. After its currency is favored by mainstream capital around the world, it will inevitably account for an increasingly larger share in the international trade system.

This gives all capital in the world ample room to jointly make profits. Even a fool knows what world currency means.

The benefits of the world's recognition, circulation and monetization at any time and anywhere, and the ability to be exchanged for any high-quality resource pass will naturally lead to the continuous appreciation of the RMB.

Once the currency appreciates, it will bring about another very terrifying reality. The competitiveness of the country's industrial products will inevitably decline, because when the currency appreciates, the prices of basic industrial needs such as labor, taxes, electricity, water conservancy, etc. will skyrocket.

The cost is too high. Even if we gain hegemony in the high-tech field in a timely manner, we cannot make up for the adverse consequences brought about by the general disadvantages of the mid- and low-end industrial chains. Therefore, in order to develop industry, we must stabilize a relatively advantageous currency.

So currently Yanjing, Southeast Asia, Jiaobenji, White Elephant, and even traditional American capital, Oumeng are all discussing one thing, which is to prepare to establish the Asian Central Bank.

With credit endorsement provided by Dongda, Jiaobenji, White Elephant and more Asian economies, it is more like the Federal Reserve in the West, backed by bonds issued by the Asian Public Security Fund.

Publicly issue the unified Asian credit currency, which can also be called the world's central currency, abbreviated as Asian dollar or Central dollar.

The specific process is that each economy publicly provides strength endorsement for the Asian Public Security Fund and publicly purchases the Zhongyuan bonds issued by the Asian Fund with RMB, Japanese Yen, Euro, US Dollar, British Pound, etc.

For example, if Dongda assumes that the value of the Chinese yuan is equivalent to that of the US dollar, then Dongda will use 8 yuan to buy 1 Chinese yuan bond, and the Asian Fund, which will receive 8 yuan, will in turn authorize the Asian Central Bank to issue one Chinese yuan voucher.

That’s right, Zhongyuan is not a currency, but a voucher for RMB, but its value is slightly higher than RMB.

Then, according to the real-time exchange rates of the British pound, Japanese yen, US dollar, and euro against the RMB, each economy will conduct currency swaps with the University of Tokyo, obtain enough RMB, and then buy bonds issued by the Asian Fund.

Then go to the Asian Central Bank to exchange for the same amount of Chinese yuan. Only at this step can you participate in the world free trade system led by the University of Tokyo.

During this process, Dongda has always firmly controlled the minting and issuance rights of Zhongyuan, because the issuance basis of Zhongyuan only accepts the hard peg of RMB. In essence, it is a new world trade settlement system led by Dongda.

Only by recognizing the world hegemony of the University of Tokyo and the monetary hegemony of the RMB can one participate in this game. Of course, the prerequisite is that the University of Tokyo completely defeats American capital in future international competition.

As the first to respond to the benefits, traditional American capital, such as Jiaobenji, Baixiang and Oumeng, also acquired certain shares of Asian funds and enjoyed the freedom to exchange share shares with their own currency.

For example, the minimum shareholding ratio stipulated by Dongda in the Asia Fund is 51%. If it falls below this figure, the Asia Fund will enter a three-month silent period, or other parties will gather enough shares to transfer to Dongda.

Either the Asian Fund will automatically go bankrupt and be liquidated in three months, or the Asian Central Bank will close down (which is the inevitable result after the University of East Asia loses control of the world economy).

This also fully guarantees the first-mover advantage of the University of Tokyo in future world economic competition, but there is now a most troublesome problem.

Which one is the primary market (New York) between Hong Kong and Singapore, and which one is the secondary market (London), where are the headquarters of Asian public funds and where are the headquarters of Asian central banks?
This is the fundamental reason that forced Li to hide in his hometown and fish, and he dared not return to Shanghai. Mr. Han called him ten times a day, and the Beijing Finance Department, the central bank, and the Beijing government wanted to call him thirty times a day. Hong Kong and Singapore simply sent people to wait nearby, all in an attempt to gain his support.

It’s not that he has the strong ability to make strategic decisions at this time, but it’s the time and fate that pushed him to the forefront by various coincidences. First of all, it is the powerful strength of Qingyun System.

In particular, Qingyun Manufacturing's unremitting technological research and development over the past five or six years has made extraordinary progress in key technologies in many vital industries, breaking the technological monopoly of foreign counterparts.

This is the first time that Dongda Manufacturing has firmly established its foothold and is able to embark on an imaginative and internationally competitive development path without fear of the joint blockade of foreign capital.

In particular, the corners and edges in the house have been cleared out, almost cutting off the tentacles of foreign capital trying to interfere. All parties without any worries can mobilize the maximum resources and launch an unimpeded counterattack.

This first ensures that the University of Tokyo has enough power to say no firmly. In fact, the same is true for the original time and space 2014-2024. The reason why everyone is waiting is nothing more than waiting for the core key patent system of Europe and the United States to expire.

As well as the continuous relocation and bankruptcy of supply chains in core high-tech sectors, the possibility of returning to the top was lost, but through paper data and extensive investigations.

The current Dongda University was shocked to discover that American capital is actually terminally ill. Taking high-tech aerospace as an example, even if American capital restarted industrialization in 2014, it would not be able to make up for the industrial chain of core products such as F-22.

Because it is impossible to rebuild more than 10,000 supporting enterprises and more than 100,000 materials, basic components and raw material production and processing enterprises in the upstream and downstream of the industry from scratch.

It is even more unable to provide the education needed to restore manufacturing and the millions of talented industrial workers needed.

This is something that the current American society will never be able to accomplish. Even if the actual controllers of the Squid Capital Group have a change of heart, stop pursuing net profit return rate, and use their assets to help the American economy transform, it is doomed to fail.

Because people who depend on the financial, educational, and medical systems for survival occupy almost all middle and high-end positions in American society, the basis of their existence is this system.

Once the entire society's mode of production is changed, these tens of millions of the most outstanding talents in society will immediately stand up and fiercely oppose it. What a joke! We are all just enjoying the air conditioning in the office.

I can earn resources that will ensure my family's lifelong happiness by just spending a little time typing on the keyboard, making some PPTs with pictures and talking. Now you want me to put on work clothes and go to the factory to screw screws?
Bah, whoever wants to go can go. Anyway, no one in this group is likely to give up the resources they have obtained, especially the big banks in the financial capital. It is even more impossible for them to give up!
No one can change this unless they all disappear collectively at the same time.

For example, through elite education, they provide tuition fees that are so high that normal people cannot repay in their lifetime, and they accurately grasp every outstanding talent who tries to turn their lives around through education.

Then, the remaining elites in society are screened out using food, clothing, housing, transportation, and medical care. In a system where those who lose their ability to work are left to fend for themselves, no one has time to stop and think about why this is the case.

In short, if you want to succeed, you must contribute to the education system controlled by financial capital, paying high costs and interest that ordinary people can hardly pay off in their lifetime, and you must work diligently for the rest of your life and be grateful for the blessings.

Once you try to resist, you will be ruthlessly kicked out immediately, no matter if you were a high-ranking chairman or general manager, or a so-called indispensable scientific research talent.

As long as there is no income for a month, the high interest debt will make them miserable. If they don't bow their heads, they will have to wander the streets, and then disappear silently one day.

Education is a magnifying glass. First, it isolates a large group of unlearned people from the mainstream society. Even if there are many gifted and brilliant people among them, they cannot afford the hundreds of thousands of dollars for university education.

He can only work as a waiter in a fast food restaurant, because family background is also one of the entry barriers. A family that cannot even afford hundreds of thousands of dollars has no say.

It is understandable that they will be suppressed and unable to turn over in their lifetime, and the descendants of the middle class and the elite can also be controlled through medical care and excessive consumption. Isn't public opinion an indispensable tool for repeated screening?

There is always a method that suits ordinary people who do not have capital but have mastered the core tricks and skills of social competition. As long as they step into any trap, this group of people will never be able to threaten the status of the capital group.

The only two moves that Squidway Capital Group misjudged were the Internet (including mobile Internet) technology wave, which almost impacted the core position of financial capital.

Another one is the rabbit on the other side of the ocean that has been pretending to be harmless. God knows how a dragon should dress up to make the whole world believe that it is a cute jumping rabbit.

The former financial capital quickly put in a patchwork, using ubiquitous big data to keep a close eye on every emerging startup and constantly impose restrictions during the several rounds of capital financing.

The world is so realistic and cruel that 99.99% of companies cannot develop without the support of the market and capital, and capital can almost be said to be the decisive factor.

Because market profits are earned slowly, you will definitely face competition in the process of growing to the point where you cannot be defeated. If you do not bow to capital, capital will help your competitors defeat you in turn.

Don't say that my technology is better and irreplaceable. Even Tesla, which is strong in the electricity competition, has to bow its head. The worst that can happen is that I can wait for your patent to expire before developing again. Capital does not lack your technology.

Therefore, financial capital can extend its tentacles to every corner of the world, but Tokyo University is an exception. It has not only developed successfully, but is also the ultimate driving force behind the end of financial capital.

The separation of industry and finance, which will no longer be within the same economic body, will minimize differences and enhance complementary advantages, but Todai will not allow its financial advantages to be exploited by competitors.

Therefore, Singapore's city-state economy becomes the best carrier, but there are many people within Dongda Capital who are dissatisfied, such as Jiangsu and Zhejiang Capital, which controls Zhongxin Financial Group.

Guangdong Capital, which controls HSBC, and Minnan Capital, which arrived late and managed to get on the last round of the train, were both jumping up and down, trying to interfere with the process, and the higher-ups were forced to compromise.

The originally two-sided financial system is split into the primary and secondary markets and currency issuance, and Asian fund bonds are split. Currently, the competition is most intense between Hong Kong and Singapore.

Shanghai and Yanjing are competing for the fund headquarters and the Asian Development Bank headquarters (one of which is destined to be in Singapore, Hong Kong), and Li Zehua is considered a core figure who can be collectively accepted by all parties.

The Qingyun Group behind him also has considerable control over resources, so he instantly became the target of public criticism, and everyone wanted to gain his support.

"I'm not a god. No matter what choice I make, I'm going to offend a bunch of people. What's more, American capital is eyeing us covetously and is about to launch a general offensive. Can't we distribute the profits after we win?" Li Zehua was speechless.

He was upset and felt panic and helplessness for the first time. He yelled into the phone, "I don't get any benefits, and I push all the troubles to you. Let Yanjing send a working group to investigate the financial tricks. Do you need me to teach you how to do it?"

Gu Shijie was scolded for no reason, but he was not angry because he could understand the tremendous pressure his boss was facing from all sides at the moment. He just said a few words of comfort and hung up the phone in a hurry.

"Isn't that scary?" Li Zehua turned around and tried to put on a smile, pointing at the fish basket full of fish. "I'll cook for you tonight."

He pretended to look over and said, "The fish in this reservoir are not good. There's not even a 30-pound fish. What a pity. Otherwise, I could make some chopped pepper fish head for you to try."

"Boss, please behave yourself." Zhang Tao was too embarrassed to look at the man standing beside him. The few fish in the fish basket were all caught by him with great effort.

Which kind person would anesthetize the fish before fishing?
I won’t say any more, it’s all tears!
But Shen Wanqing and Chen Xiaomin knew nothing about this and were still clapping and cheering. This made Li feel better. He cast another rod and said proudly, "Don't worry, just watch me. I'm going to catch a fish weighing more than ten kilograms today."

The bodyguard at the back was about to cry, "Boss, fishing for catfish is illegal. We have searched all the fishermen and fish farmers in the surrounding towns, but we couldn't find any big fish that meet the requirements.

If you keep going like this, we will jump in and catch you!"
