Winner Takes It All, Resurrection 2009

"Don't hide anymore. Mr. Mo from Bank of New York Mellon went to Singapore yesterday and started talks in Shanghai and the north today. He made a lot of demands. Anyway, all the manufacturing and energy needs must be arranged.

Remember, no matter how hostile you are on the surface, the business behind the scenes cannot stop. After all, they are the absolute main force of the American establishment.

He has to show off wherever he goes. This is what a real super boss does. Even if the actual controllers of Southeast Asian groups are reluctant, they have to sign agreements to import tens of thousands of tons of crude oil every year.

They also have to abide by the international patent system and the dollar system that they have built. They are even discussing how much of the future Zhongyuan share should be left to Angsa Capital. "

Ye Jingming came to the door after smelling something from somewhere, and immediately gave the explosive news, "Westinghouse Electric and Aramco are all owned by them, as well as Chevron and Standard Oil, which you are cooperating with.

Especially the old boy you asked about, he is now a new figure launched by their family. There is really nothing new under the sun. Even if the traditional Angsa Capital has entered the financial field, it will not change the old tradition. No. 1 Wall Street is the best proof of this.

After the collapse of the gold system, the basis of the crude oil peg is their industry. Tell me, who would not give face to the actual controller of such a behemoth who personally stepped in? "

"No, why are you telling me this?" Li Zehua was very surprised. "Old Mo, it's not like I don't know him, but even if his family controls 50 trillion US dollars (this number will be trillion US dollars in ten years), what does it have to do with us?

It is not a hundred years ago now. Even large investors have to consider the consequences of offending Dongda. It is true that California Standard Energy Group owns shares in Aramco, but large investors are the controlling shareholders.

Besides, Qingyun also has a 15% stake in Amei now, so we are all equal. Can Mr. Mo come to Shanghai in person and take my share?"

"Of course it's impossible to touch you, but we can still delay the listing of Aramco in Hong Kong and Singapore." Ye Jingming and Lao Mo seem to have a close relationship, otherwise he wouldn't have made a special trip.

Seeing that Li Zehua was unmoved, he continued lobbying from a different angle, "In fact, sometimes we can earn more by making appropriate compromises. For example, when the stock market keeps rising, there are many people who follow the trend to make money and grab the fat.

If there were to be a sudden, large-scale, long-term crash at some stage, wouldn't those chips that fled in panic become ours? Not to mention thousands of listed groups would be taken over.

Even if we can only get one tenth or one twentieth of it, it will be enough for all of us to have enough say. If you don't want it, don't waste it. "

"Are you kidding, or are you serious?" Li Zehua finally took it seriously, "If you are joking, I can pretend I didn't hear anything.

If you are seriously preparing to do this, have you considered the scale of Huijin's leverage in major banks? Once the so-called continuous plunge occurs, who will make up for the losses? "

Huijin is a financial brand specially created by the higher-ups to manage the companies under the SASAC. Almost all the original shares of state-owned capital, including the five major banks, have been secretly transferred to Huijin.

People like Ye Jingming are very jealous of this and have always wanted to get a piece of the pie. However, although the combined power of all parties is strong, the core interests of each group are different.

As a result, it has basically not gained any advantage in the game with Huijin as a whole. Now it has to settle for the second best and wants to unite private capital to set up a game in the financial market.

Although he doesn't seek to completely seize the controlling stake in Huijin, he can at least take advantage of the situation to gain some benefits, just as Ye Jingming imagined, if he could seize control of one-tenth of the listed groups in the stock market.

Then the controlling rights of resources held by the listed groups will naturally become the exclusive property of each group. What this represents in the economic society is self-evident.

However, it is almost a dream to defeat Huijin at Dongda's home court, because Huijin has almost unlimited funds. Even in the most difficult situation, as long as the top leaders are determined, the central bank and the finance department will provide unlimited monetary support to Huijin at critical moments.

Theoretically, trillions and tens of trillions are just numbers, but as Ye Jingming said, those above are made up of people. Faced with a crisis of the magnitude of an overall collapse, coupled with various groups stepping in to prevent and delay, Huijin has no choice but to give in.

This is the rule of the game. Although you are the powerful party that makes the rules, you still have to respect the interests of the participants within the rules. You can't overturn the table if your layout fails.

What's more, this ability to overturn the table is not only possessed by one company, but also by other companies and foreign capital. Once the relationship is broken up, it will not be good for all parties. That's why Ye Jingming tried to unite with Qingyun and design a plan at the critical moment.

"Don't say you are not interested in the Big Five banks. Come join us. This time we are almost certain to win." Ye Jingming briefly mentioned the situation and even talked about Qingyun's old friend.

"Jack Ma, Tony Ma and their friends have all agreed. At this point, Jack Ma should be in Shanghai chatting with Mr. Mo and SoftBank's Sun Zhengyi.

The heritage of eastern Zhejiang is beyond your imagination. Even if the Minsheng faction, the Zhongxin faction and the Taishan school disappear in the open, the capital gathered by so many billionaires in secret will not disappear out of thin air.

As long as they still control social resources and capital scale, you will never be able to erase the influence of this group of capital from the root. As far as I know, Mr. Mo has brought a super gift package this time.

He plans to make Alipay a big player in the US Internet finance industry and let Bank of New York Mellon and Alipay cooperate to develop mobile payment projects in Europe and the US.

As long as you nod, Bank of America can immediately sign a contract with Micropayment to support Qingyun to conduct business in Europe and the United States without restrictions. Is this bargaining chip enough to make you excited?"

"It's generous and attractive enough." Li Zehua sighed, thinking that the current situation is much better than the same period in history, and it is changing too fast, so fast that he doesn't even recognize this world.

Originally, Spacetime Payment had the largest market share (data at the end of 2014), but no core American capital group had ever invited it to join the European and American circles. But now, with the collective strengthening of Dongda Capital.

It even reached the point where it could threaten the existence of American capital. American capital immediately adjusted its strategy, for example, promising to open up the American financial market to Jiangsu and Zhejiang capital, and promising to accept Fujian capital as a member of the core circle of medical education business.

As for the emerging groups represented by the Qingyun Group, they offered a lot of chips to buy them out at once, and at the same time seemed to casually push the right to speak on Huijin's shares to them.

"What a good plan!" Li Zehua couldn't help but applaud, "Using the shares of Dongda's best assets to bribe me, you think too highly of me. To be frank, whether it's the five major banks, the three major operators, or the two oil companies.

Even those coastal ports, transport aviation and domestic mineral energy, no matter which one Qingyun wants in his dreams, he is not destined to have it. "

At this point, he raised his glass and gestured to Ye Jingming, "The reason why I can sit here and drink with you safely is because I am cautious and never eat what I shouldn't eat, and never take what I shouldn't take.

I will never cross the red line drawn above, because I know very well that it would be a miracle for me to squeeze into your circle before the age of 40 given my background.

My requirements are really not high. Perhaps in the future, when the overseas mission is completely completed, I can take over the controlling stakes in the vital industries of several small and medium-sized economies as a reward, and I will be satisfied.

So I’m sorry, I won’t follow Huijin’s matter, and I advise you not to follow it either.”

Although he may not be worse than Ye Jingming in terms of status and connections, some of his background is destined to never be easily touched in this lifetime. Fortunately, Li Zehua kept a clear mind from beginning to end.

"After the earth-shaking changes in the past three years, the Five Military Governor's Office has completely stood on the right side. Now everyone is always looking forward to making achievements and benefiting future generations." He spoke slowly.

As if talking about something that had nothing to do with him, "There are a total of 203 ships being rushed to completion in the dock before a major landmark event, not including the approximately 400 ships of various types that have been produced overtime in the past three years.

Within the big players and Pakistan, targeted air drills under actual combat conditions have been conducted more than a hundred times, and the compensation allocated through Qingyun Group’s special account alone has exceeded US$10 billion.

There have been dozens of accidents that occurred in pre-war situations. Even the latest and most hyped advanced European and American aircraft could be beaten up by the Gou-16.

The sea and air forces have risen comprehensively, not to mention the combat effectiveness of Laoliu. The Yunnan-Burma expressway railway project has responded to all doubts with the most powerful evidence to date.

I can't think of any other surprises." Before Ye Jingming responded, Li Zehua spoke out what was hidden in his heart, "Qingyun Group cannot be a chaebol, at best it is a large-scale comprehensive business group.

You may be able to do it, but so what? Can you restore the status of the ancient clans? It's impossible. Don't dream.

Modern commercial chaebols have a monopoly on certain large industries. Whether it is technology research and development, funding sources, or policy making, they are all in their hands, and the management of related fields are all affected.

But when the critical moment comes, will it be useful?
They are far inferior to the aristocratic families. In ancient times, even the aristocratic families with prominent county backgrounds controlled at least half a county. Besides controlling all means of production, they also had to hide the population and easily accommodate tens of thousands of people.

Through the efforts of several generations to accumulate strength, and through constant intermarriages, they monopolized the source of knowledge and the right of interpretation and became an important part of the imperial court, truly achieving "you in me, me in you".

If the imperial court is strong, they can earn all resources including land and population by participating in decision-making, intercept taxes, monopolize selection and appointment, etc. If there is a change, they can summon the core members of the family and have children at home overnight.

The warehouse where the family’s savings were stored was opened and tens of thousands of troops were pulled out from the hiding population in an instant. They confronted each other vehemently and refused to give in. The court was so afraid that even the emperor did not dare to touch the core interests of the family easily.

The only way is to wait until they have incurred the wrath of heaven and the hatred of the people, and have offended almost all the families of their colleagues, and then the whole world will come together to condemn them, before we can have a chance to eliminate one family.

But look at it now, which company can achieve this level?" At this point, Li Zehua sneered, "Don't talk about that insignificant overseas layout.

So what if there are a few thousand or tens of thousands of people? As powerful as China Merchants Group and Libao Group are, they are just doing things that are inconvenient for the court to do. In this high-tech society where the sky eye is almost everywhere and signal screening and analysis are everywhere.

Anyone who attempts to cross the bottom line is playing with fire and getting burned, let alone the fact that they do not have the foundation of becoming a famous family in the county or the country thousands of years ago. Even if they do, they will be in the face of the powerful machine of the huge economy.

It is also vulnerable!"

"The rules won't allow it." Ye Jingming was unwilling to give up, "Especially at this critical period, any excessive consumption of internal strength could become a signal that could lead to a total collapse."

“But don’t forget that as long as the higher-ups are determined, in a critical period like 1948-1952 when wealth was exchanged for hegemony, everyone is full of hope and ready for the final sprint.

Anyone who dares to drag their feet and play dirty tricks at this time will face attacks from all the groups preparing to upgrade." Li Zehua had to make a public statement, "In short, none of these people under Qingyun will show up.

If you insist on following the short selling on the day the capital bubble is burst, Qingyun will definitely not sit idly by, because no one can stop the joint decision of an entire economy.

You can't do it, and neither can traditional American capital and Squid Capital Group, not to mention Europe, which has been mired in internal disputes and has almost no qualifications to participate in global competition. The big cat is unable to take care of itself, and the chicken in the basin just wants to preserve itself and wait for action.

Mr. Mo's visit this time has proved everything. In his eyes, the right to speak on high-end technology manufacturing and energy control is more important than the American dollar, as long as Dongda Capital can safeguard its core interests.

Then more than half of the traditional American capital groups will switch sides in an instant. Add in the aggressive and lively atmosphere, and it’s okay, but if it really comes to the truth, the Squidward Capital Group will only bully the weak and fear the strong. Haha, I really can’t think of how to lose.”

"Don't get me wrong, I'm just asking what you think." Ye Jingming was such a smart guy that when he saw that things were going wrong, he immediately changed his words, but he was somewhat unwilling to do so, "You!
You are still too young to distinguish which things are the real foundation for your life!"

"You've already got the water resources, telecommunications, and electricity. You've laid the foundation for the family's prosperity for a hundred years. In the next hundred years, three or five hundred million people will pay rent for your family's water, electricity, and housing all the time. Isn't that enough?" Li Zehua sighed, "You can't chew too much!"

"That's easy to say!" Ye Jingming said unconvinced, "At the beginning, we agreed to take over Xiangjiang Capital and drive Li Bancheng away, but in the end, New World and Sun Hung Kai were created. We talked about it for a long time.

I only got 1/6 of HSBC, and Standard Chartered simply cancelled its voucher issuance, and now it has become an ordinary commercial bank. I accept this.

But now HSBC is going to merge with the newly established Asian Development Bank, and even Hong Kong dollars are going to be converted into Zhongyuan. What have I gained after all my hard work?
Just a bunch of infrastructure holdings waiting to be built?"

He had reason to be dissatisfied. In fact, Qin Xiangli was not satisfied either. After all, after he cooperated with Libao Group to take over Zhongxin Bank, a large part of the control was taken away by the newly established Zhongxin Financial Holdings.

This has resulted in the situation that among the super first-tier commercial groups of Dongda’s core capital, Nandian Energy, Libao Group and Runhua Group have always been suppressed by Zhongxin Financial Holdings, China Merchants Group and Qingyun Group.

In fact, there is Industrial Bank behind Nandian, and Hua Xia behind Runhua Libao Group, but no matter how these two financial institutions develop, they cannot successfully break through the restrictions.

Not to mention compared with the Big Five banks, it is even inferior to Minsheng Financial Holdings. Minsheng is supported by over 80% of e-commerce small and medium-sized businesses in the entire Eastern Hemisphere and more than one billion financial management users.

Even in West Asia, North Africa, South America and Eastern Europe, it occupies a certain market share. If it were not for the restrictions of domestic financial policies, even the establishment of diplomatic relations between industry and agriculture might not be comparable to the prospects for the development of people's livelihood.

"The 1.5% share of the Asian Security Fund obtained by the Minsheng Department can be divided into three parts. You, me and Lao Qin can share the wealth. How about that?" Li Zehua obviously noticed his great disappointment.

But at the moment, he really didn’t dare to gamble on the consequences of internal competition, so he could only settle for the next best thing and take out the priceless Asian fund shares, “But I want to exchange it for 15% of the shares of the Indochina Peninsula Electric Power and Water Conservancy Company.

Lao Qin, I want 40% of Runhua Gas in China. If you agree, I will exchange it. "

"Add the 2.5% from Bank of Asia and share it with us." Ye Jingming said without any hesitation.

"You're dreaming." Li Zehua refused without hesitation. "The entire Dongda only holds 51%. I seem to have 2.5%, but in fact 60% of it is held on behalf of Huijin. I have no say at all."

"Okay, I was wondering why you refused outright. You've already hooked up with Huijin after all this time." Ye Jingming was furious. "The branch of Bank of China established in Singapore, those three funds whose details cannot be found out, are controlled by you, right?"

"It's not me, it's Minsheng, Weifuzhi and Qingyun Investment." Li Zehua spread his hands, "I'm just holding on behalf of others, don't think too highly of me."

"Hehe, taking off your pants to fart is a waste of time." Ye Jingming was furious. It was not that Li Zehua got a lot, but that they didn't get any at all. Large state-owned groups including the Big Five Banks took the initiative.

Many of them have set up Southeast Asian branches in Singapore, and the shareholders they recruited are either large local groups or large global groups. It just so happens that Qingyun has some and they don't, which makes people feel very uncomfortable.

It was no wonder that Ye Jingming was very angry, as this clearly told everyone that Nandian Energy was not as important as Qingyun Group. However, he could not turn his back on them, because after the overseas branches of the five major banks were established, they immediately allocated funds to Nandian.

Infrastructure such as water, electricity, roads, and telecommunications involve hundreds of millions of people and eleven economies. Without trillions of dollars, construction cannot begin at all. Therefore, whether for the sake of his own family or the overall interests of the group, he dare not turn against them easily.

However, it did not prevent him from trying to make up for the loss by cutting losses from Qingyun. However, Li Zehua was no longer the same person he used to be. He was no longer the target who could be easily manipulated. No matter what he said, he would stick to the exchange ratio.

In the end, Ye Jingming could only reluctantly agree, "You are ruthless, but in this round of stock market layout, Nandian Energy must take the lion's share, and Qingyun's channels must be open to us unconditionally."

"Don't worry, you can have as much money as you want after the New Year. I'm just afraid your vault won't be big enough to hold it." Li Zehua laughed when he heard that. "It's just paper. It's too hard to even wipe your butt.

If it costs several hundred billion, you can fill it yourself. If it is not enough, you can add more."

The stock markets of more than 30 economies, with a scale of hundreds of trillions, have tripled or quadrupled in the past two years, and are now about to plummet by more than %. Isn't it just as Li Zehua said, money is just paper?

As long as you have the qualifications to sit down and share the meat, you can get as much as you want based on your ability! (End of this chapter)
