Winner Takes It All, Resurrection 2009

"Can Qingyun not go public? Or postpone the internal listing process?" Traditional American capital finally couldn't help it and directly sent their old acquaintance, William, chairman of Bank of America, to lobby.

He crossed the ocean and stopped in Shanghai first, where he met with the heads of a number of Jiangsu and Zhejiang groups and offered considerable chips in exchange for their support. Then he flew directly to a small city in southern Hunan with full sincerity.

After running for dozens of kilometers on the muddy country dirt road, I finally met Li Zehua in person.

As soon as they met, he couldn't wait to speak and immediately put forward his bargaining chips, "If Qingyun Group is willing to accept this friendship, then we will fully support Qingyun's listing in the United States.

Just like Qingyun Smart Life Group (group buying platform), the two parties continue to cooperate happily, especially on the overall market value, we have already reached an agreement with Wall Street.

Everyone unanimously agreed to give an opening price higher than the current market forecast. Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley and Americas are all happy to see Qingyun go public in the United States and are willing to give the greatest discount on the listing underwriting fees and subsequent commissions for stabilizing the stock price.

As long as you nod in agreement, you will achieve a great achievement unprecedented in human history, becoming the only super-rich person in the world today who possesses more than one trillion US dollars in real wealth.

Even if Bill Gates' wealth increases tenfold, it will not threaten your position as the world's richest man."

"Thank you for your care." Li Zehua was not moved at all, "But I don't believe in the professional ethics of those people on Wall Street. You know, Qingyun Group is involved in the investment in the American financial market.

There is at least 40 billion US dollars of fund investment income, which has been seized and audited by the Squid Capital Group under various names. They even refuse to take away reasonable and legal investments.

How can I believe that they will continue to fulfill their promises in the future?
Yes, one of your artists once publicly said that any contract that is not in the interests of the United States is invalid. After so many years of communication, I fully agree with his point of view.

As long as we cooperate with you and don’t let you make extra profits, then any paper contract will eventually become a piece of waste paper.”

"That damn bastard is talking nonsense." William quickly explained, "Please believe in our sincerity. Maybe others have had some unpleasant disputes with American companies.

But this does not affect Qingyun Group's overall listing in the United States, because Qingyun's strength will be respected wherever it is. You are one of us, and good friends should share interests and overcome difficulties together.

Just like America and the University of Tokyo, if our two countries move forward hand in hand, there will be no obstacles in this world that can prevent us from reaching the top, and all opposition voices will come to an abrupt end.

Even the seemingly powerful Ou Meng had to crawl in front of the American capital of Dongda, and they didn't even have a decent resistance. "

"But it's not our territory after all." Li Zehua is well aware that the trend of the gradual convergence of traditional American capital and the upper echelons of squid capital is unstoppable. Everything is for the sake of making money, so it's not shameful. "The combination of Dongda and American capital will certainly have a bright future.

But who has the final say when it comes to critical issues? Who gets to take the lion's share of the profits first? These are key issues that cannot be avoided, and the inability to reach a consensus is the biggest problem.

Are you willing to accept the leadership of Dongda Capital? If not, then the prerequisites for the alliance cannot be met. "

"But you said a long time ago that differences can be put aside and we should work for common interests first." William didn't want to miss any opportunity, "The problems you envision will not appear until a long time later.

Because we have many competitors, including Ou Meng, Big Cat, Foot Basin Chicken, and White Elephant, and we need to completely dismember and suppress so many competitors one by one.

The time and resources required are unimaginably huge and complex, and perhaps it will take the efforts of our entire generation to achieve our goal.

As for the specific differences, they can be left to the next generation with a more pioneering vision to resolve. We just need to reap the biggest dividends of the times."

"It sounds wonderful. We can consider it." Li Zehua laughed and seemed to be cooperating but he was actually very alert inside because he knew the other party's background very well.

William spoke so decisively that it seemed that he truly cared about the future of the two major economies, but in fact it was nothing more than a despicable strategic blackmail.

Promises that do not require fulfillment of results are like a man in the middle of the night when he is angry and blood is boiling, and he rushes to make all the promises he can think of, just for the last three seconds of perfection.

If you ask again after lighting a cigarette, sorry, he won't remember what he said at all. If you want to hold him accountable, please find him three seconds ago, not him now that he has regained his sanity and his IQ has regained the upper hand.

However, Li Zehua insisted on setting up obstacles in the middle because traditional American capital had invested too much in Dongda and made more profits. The annual import and export trade with the United States of traditional American-controlled and invested enterprises alone amounted to as much as two to three hundred billion US dollars.

Moreover, this number is growing rapidly every year. He does not believe that traditional American capital dares to give up the largest channel of external investment benefits, not to mention that now the interests of Southeast Asia and South America have to be added.

The total scale is more than one trillion US dollars, which is a chip that the Squid Capital Group cannot offer no matter what, so he is fearless, "It's like the beautiful house of your neighbor.

After all, I am an outsider. I can still have a say in my small country in the East, but when I go to Europe and the United States where I am unfamiliar with the place, it is inevitable that I will have difficulty acclimatizing.

It is just like the micropayment business. No matter how huge the profits are in the East, when it comes to America, it still has to abide by the rules set by the big investment banks on Wall Street.

So far, it has only created $700 billion in annual transactions in the entire US capital market, 80% of which comes from the support of the descendants of Dongda in Chinatown, right? "

After hearing this, William was speechless for a moment. He opened his mouth to say something but in the end he could only sigh helplessly. This was the point.

The American financial market is always controlled by traditional large investment banks. Even a strong bank like Citigroup has to follow the instructions of the large Wall Street investment banks.

There is no doubt that the most profitable credit card business is actually in the hands of investment banks, not banks, because everyone in America has developed the habit of spending in advance.

Without huge personal savings, the economy can only rely on enterprises and financial businesses to absorb social deposits, and banks are unable to directly participate in this part of the business. After hundreds of years of game play, Squid Capital has finally established the investment banking model.

How could the banking industry be given the opportunity to get involved in the core of all financial institutions, including the Federal Reserve shareholders such as the Federal Reserve, by controlling all financing channels through a series of complex financial means?

In fact, they all rely on professional funds, such as industries, schools, and social public funds to obtain the main source of funds, and then package financial products of various levels into seemingly wonderful projects and publicly launch them into the market.

Through the invisible hands of the market controlled by the Federal Reserve, the most profitable stable projects will be split out, and then investment banks, banks, and funds will respectively constitute the main profit-making entities. No one can expect to have a monopoly.

Therefore, it is simply a dream for Weifuzhi and the Internet financial software platform founded by Jack Ma earlier to get a piece of the pie. It is not a question of whether the technology is advanced or whether it can save a lot of resources.

The various capitals that control the allocation of core resources have already built a complete profit system around credit cards, and no one can easily get involved and break the deadlock.

"Maybe we can talk about something else, such as supporting traditional American capital to expand its investment in Dongda's core industrial chain. Even Buffett has taken the initiative to invest in BYD and use practical actions to support the development of the new energy industry." Li Zehua did not want to directly tear his face off.

Because there is no irreconcilable contradiction between traditional American capital and Dongda, it is even an ally that can be won over, "If you are willing to support the expansion of micropayments in the American financial market.

So, as a reciprocal return, Qingyun can consider opening up the large-scale application markets of power technology, semiconductors and basic materials, and even opening up infrastructure and hydropower infrastructure, and promise to bring core companies to New York for listing, how about that? "

William was weighing the pros and cons. Li Zehua didn't continue talking until he spoke. The situation was already very clear. William didn't immediately agree to such a big cake, which was enough to explain everything.

He could only sigh silently in his heart: Times have changed, and it is impossible to go back to the past.

Looking back over the past twenty years, traditional American capital has been working on behalf of the University of Tokyo within the United States, blocking and delaying countless conspiracies against the University of Tokyo.

This is certainly not the good intention of traditional American capital, but a comprehensive consideration of interests. For example, financial capital has always emphasized the need to completely suppress Dongda, especially to open up foreign exchange convertibility. Securities, insurance and state-owned banks share the interests, so every time they return empty-handed, they will intensify their unreasonable desires, and then Dongda will throw the ball back in the form of Tai Chi.

Both parties are slippery and can be called the ceiling of non-stick pan performance art. They fight but do not break. No matter how tense the surface is, it does not prevent them from continuing to interact privately. After all, making money is the top priority.

But traditional American capital is much more pragmatic. Most of the time, they make money quietly because all the low- and mid-end industrial chains controlled by them in the areas controlled by American capital have been transferred to Southeast University.

Then, they took advantage of Dongda’s convenient ocean port transportation, basic water and electricity transportation, cheap labor and creative industrial workers to bring a steady stream of excess profits back to their homeland.

Therefore, they know the true strength of the University of Tokyo better than anyone else. Normally, they basically do not make too many demands and try their best to avoid causing uncontrollable consequences.

But once they make up their minds to take action, they are more radical than financial capital, always formulating one plan after another to try to solve the problem once and for all, and then nothing happens.

Because at this time financial capital will in turn restrain it and prevent the situation from becoming irreversible.

Li Zehua understood that Yutai Capital was the one who cried wolf every day. If a fight really broke out, the other party might just run away.

Traditional American capital is the typical one that bites but does not bark. It usually does business and makes money in a low-key manner, but once it makes up its mind, it will take people's lives.

William is here to explore the way. They may have already made the decision internally and are just waiting to execute it step by step.

The reason is simple. After suppressing Hans and Gaul and splitting up Big Cat, American capital looked around and found that the only rival that could compete with it was Tokyo University.

This is not a simple contradiction between the financial and manufacturing industries, but the fact that Southeast University already has the strength to challenge the US capital's control over resources on a global scale, just like the ancient emperors' vigilance against generals with heavy troops.

It doesn’t matter whether you have the ambition to replace it or not. What matters is that you have the ability to threaten the highest existence, and this is the original sin.

No matter how Tokyo University pretends to be at this time, its huge size is there, especially the industrial upgrading has been completed five or six years ahead of the original time and space, which has in fact posed a fatal threat to American capital. Therefore, the overall environment has changed, and the opponents are also quietly changing.

I have watched the rise of Southeast University, watched it gain a foothold in Southeast Asia, watched its two hands reach out, one to West Asia and North Africa, the other to South America and Africa, and I understand that if there are no more restrictions, it will be a disaster.

Traditional American capital, which may be able to disrupt the existing world order within a decade, can no longer sit still. Their actions are even so big that they seem a little ridiculous for a while.

The financial capital that had been shouting for war and killing was now lagging behind the traditional American capital. They only wanted to make money and maintain the existing framework unchanged, refusing to make major changes in direction and trying to eliminate their competitors subtly.

So William came and offered a lot of unrealistic but unprecedentedly favorable conditions, as long as Qingyun Group gave up listing in a short period of time and promised to go public in the United States in the future.

Traditional American capital is willing to accept Qingyun as the distributor of major world resources. As long as Li Zehua nods, he can become the de facto owner of the new chaebol.

An offer that the average person cannot refuse, because without the appointment and dismissal of relevant management teams, the business group cannot get involved in the decision-making of the economy and is at best too big to fail.

Any internal threats or hidden dangers will affect this pure business group, which will rise and fall with the rise and fall of its main business, and may even fall in a major economic crisis.

But once they follow the instructions of traditional American capital and join the American capital, their main interests will be concentrated in the American capital market. Then, in turn, Qingyun Group will be able to use this power strengthened by American capital.

Change its own living environment, and even grow into a towering tree like the Samsung Group and the Jiaobenji Chaebol that grows and regenerates as long as the country. No matter how the world environment changes, as long as human economic society exists, the Qingyun brand will be well-known.

Li Zehua can even retreat behind the scenes and become an eternal existence at the same level as Morgan Rockefeller.

But he refused, and his refusal was very decisive. The reason was extremely simple. No one wants to grow up to be a chaebol and then have a mother-in-law to look after them.

William understood the subtext, so he no longer hesitated and immediately stood up and said goodbye.

This decisive action made Li Zehua feel nervous, but then he laughed, "He's really like a child who hasn't grown up yet, he gets angry if I don't give him candy.

But don't forget that in addition to traditional American capital, there is also a powerful capital group in the United States. Since ancient times, we have heard that the anger of a common man can cause blood to splatter three feet.

But I have never heard of a businessman who would draw his sword and risk his life over a disagreement. The conditions that traditional American capital is unwilling to agree to may not be agreed to by the Squidward Capital Group."

So he immediately contacted Greg, the global vice president of BlackRock, through a secret line, and conveyed his desire to cooperate to the head of Yutai Capital through him, and the conditions were also very generous.

“青云集团上市已成定局，最迟不会超过2016年6月30日，最早不会早于2015年5月31日，我相信这个时间段贵方比我更清楚含义。”

After the contact, Li Zehua said without hesitation, "No matter who tries to stop us, Qingyun Group will resolutely implement the listing plan, but we need your active cooperation.

Then one-third of the deposited shares of companies listed in Hong Kong and Singapore can be given to Goldman Sachs and Morgan for underwriting.”

"We will send someone to Dongda to interview you immediately." Even the head of the Federal Reserve could not refuse such a huge benefit. "Please do not believe any decision that is not made by the collective decision of Wall Street. That is not our intention!"

What a joke!

The 1/3 of the profits promised by Li Zehua is a huge amount of resources. For example, if Weifuzhi is listed on the stock market according to the estimated opening price of the financial industry, it will inevitably create a market value of one trillion US dollars.

Even with a series of financial cooperation such as the lowest underwriting commission in the industry and stable stock prices, a minimum underwriting share of 1/3 can bring billions of dollars in net profit to Wall Street.

At the same time, there were hundreds of companies under the Qingyun Group and its allies preparing for listing. What does that mean?
Even if one company only makes $100 million, Goldman Sachs and Morgan will also make a fortune. This is a condition that no one can refuse. Even if it requires the buyer to sell his soul, they will agree without hesitation.

As for what Qingyun Group and Dongda Capital want, Yutai Capital Group knows it very well. Isn't it just to hold them back at the critical moment?
They would have done it even if Li Zehua hadn't said it. Otherwise, if a fight really broke out, no one knew what would happen to the East Asian Nations for the time being, but the whole world knew that the Squid Capital Group would definitely lose control of the world economy.

So it’s good for traditional American capital, it’s good for European Mengjiaoben Chicken, but it’s harmful to the Squid Capital Group, they’d be crazy to agree to it…

"What the hell is this!" After dropping the phone, even someone as mentally strong as Li Zehua couldn't help but sigh with emotion, "Fuck, I'm going to fight with Yutai Capital for my whole life.

When the time comes, we have to reconcile with them and work together to deal with traditional American capital in order to completely dismember their development potential. It just so happens that our former enemy is more active than us.

Because they have set their sights on Southeast Asia, the new world economic and financial center, they have moved here from New York to control Asian funds, and will continue to live a good life collecting tolls in the future. This is really incomprehensible.

Is it that the world is too crazy, changing too fast, or am I just not keeping up with the times? "

Sometimes it is so humorous that the Yutai Capital Group is just like the Portuguese in the 16th century and the Fujian-Zhejiang Maritime Trade Group in the Southern Song Dynasty a thousand years ago.

It doesn’t matter whether we fight to the death on the front line, whether we win or lose, as long as it doesn’t affect their ability to make money, nothing else matters!!! (End of this chapter)
