"Is there still any law? Lao Chen just ate with us, drank a few more glasses, and said a few radical words. As a result, he is now in prison and his entire family is missing.
When I asked around, I found out that he was traveling abroad. What kind of traveling is that? Maybe he is feeding fish in some trench now.
But it doesn't matter if you go in, but where's my money? If it was 50 million Hong Kong dollars before, I might have just given it as paper money to burn for him, but in this situation, it's life-saving funds!"
In a thousand-square-foot mansion in Hong Kong, Lin Nansheng smashed a glass on the ground in frustration. As one of the behind-the-scenes investors of Tengda, he had heard news of old friends being put in jail recently.
There is no essential difference between being invited by ICAC or the Commercial Crime Bureau to have coffee or tea. When doing business, it is inevitable to use some special means. Who hasn't done something that crosses the red line?
The problem is that after these people went in, their families hurriedly packed up and left, saying they were going abroad to avoid the limelight. But many people knew the real situation, and it was clear that they were forced to leave.
Everything that happened next was just as everyone expected, car accidents, accidents, disappearances. In short, everyone was in a panic and everyone was in danger.
Before the change to 97, everyone played more wildly and used more tricks. Now it is different. The higher-ups have ordered us to abide by the rules, and in order to make a living, everyone has begun to restrain their tactics.
But this does not mean that everyone has completely lost their temper. This time, due to the continuous plunge in Tengda's stock price, it has fallen by more than 20% in more than ten days, and many people have been liquidated and bankrupted.
Initially, it was Qingyun Investment that shorted the stock. Later, someone gave a warning. When Qingyun saw that many wealthy people in Hong Kong had formed a group to protect the market, it withdrew its efforts and instead stepped up its commercial competition.
361's QQ bodyguard and Qingyun Group's WeChat Technology PC version formed a double kill. Tony Ma misjudged his own strength and was overconfident, which led to the original advertising on Tenda.
Large companies and enterprises that used Tenda QQ as their office software have withdrawn their cooperation and stopped purchasing Tenda's enterprise-level service projects, resulting in a sharp drop in Tenda's revenue in October and November.
This led to the loss of high-quality individual users and a sharp drop in traffic revenue, which further caused capital market hot money to be bearish on Tengda. Even among Hong Kong's local financial groups, many people complained about this.
How to save the market?
Continuing to increase holdings and raising stock prices can certainly stabilize the market temporarily, but if the core hidden dangers are not resolved, sooner or later the market will return to rationality, which means continued decline and long-term bearishness.
Everyone's money doesn't come from the wind, and Qingyun Investment is eyeing the stock market covetously, ready to pounce and take a big bite once it sees an opportunity.
Therefore, everyone's determination to rescue the market is no longer firm, and everyone has their own calculations, which only makes life difficult for those small and medium-sized investors who lack sufficient strength, especially speculators who enter the market with leverage.
Some people suffered heavy losses in this round of plunge, with some losing all their fortunes, while others were heavily in debt and lost everything.
No one knows who started it, but the conflict was eventually pointed at the culprit, Qingyun Company. Whether the management of Tengda Company was aware of this, no one knows except for a very small number of people behind the scenes.
But gamblers who have lost a lot of money don’t care about these things at all. The losses of tens of millions or even hundreds of millions have already dyed their eyes red, and their minds are filled with evil thoughts of dragging their opponents into hell together.
It has to be said that their execution and determination are more resolute and decisive than their counterparts in the mainland, and they are aiming to take lives from the very beginning.
Some of the people who were loitering and watching near the Qingyun headquarters were sent by them, hoping to take advantage of the situation to fish in troubled waters. Unfortunately, the hot money in Jiangsu and Zhejiang was not strong enough, and they failed after repeated attempts.
Having lost their last chip and with a fatal handle in their hands, some people had no choice but to take the risk and collude with the forces of a remote port city in the south.
We are prepared to use the most drastic measures to recover our losses. It doesn't matter if they die, at least it will put an end to the matter and we won't have to live in fear for the rest of our lives.
Of course, not everyone has the courage to live and face everything. Those who are not in a good mood would have ended their lives early when their wealth was wiped out in an instant.
Lin Nansheng was very regretful. He lost hundreds of millions in this round of market crash, but luckily he still had some assets and could barely hold on. He did not participate in the conspiracy and escaped.
But he was afraid, not of Qingyun, but of the methods of the local consortium. Although he still had enough energy to barely keep his family's company and factory running.
But the downward trend became more and more obvious, and his former partners were trying to force him to give up everything through other means.
There is nothing wrong with a world where the strong prey on the weak.
Wasn't Fu Yujie's father, as a small shareholder of Chaoxu Electronics, also manipulated by Yao Qing'an's family? It was he himself who revealed the flaws, so it's no wonder that others were spying on him.
With hundreds of millions of dollars in losses and liquidity drying up, and several bank loans and private lending about to mature, he did not have enough funds to fill the hole.
The application for extension was rejected again, and he had no choice but to sell some of his high-quality assets at a low price. Unfortunately, it was still a long way from solving the problem, so he had to rush to Hong Kong from Pengcheng in person.
He wanted to raise some funds through his previous connections to tide over the difficulties, but he heard a lot of explosive news right from the start, which made him helpless and furious.
In particular, the shares of other companies that he and his good friend Lao Chen had invested in together were actually mortgaged privately by the other party, and there were also signatures on the shares that he was deceived into signing without his knowledge. The buyer turned out to be a well-known large company in Hong Kong.
The true face of big capital is now clearly revealed, and no one would believe it if you said there was no trick involved.
"It seems that we can only sell off all our assets in Hong Kong to raise funds to get through this difficult period. But what should we do next? If the pledged shares are taken away, then everything will be over."
What you fear is bound to happen. Lin Nansheng was just planning to contact someone to urgently sell his property when a call came from the mainland.
After hearing this, he was completely stunned, and it took him a long time to come back to his senses, "Fuck, we are good brothers when nothing happens, but when something happens, we stab each other in the back.
Okay, okay, this is how you play it, the United Bank and the financial company are working together to withdraw the loan in advance, which is clearly forcing me to die.
It sounds good. As long as I transfer the company's factory shares and core assets, they can help me lobby the bank and negotiate with the financial company, giving me enough time to raise funds.
Haha, do you think I'm a three-year-old kid? As long as I have the company and factory business, I can still make a comeback one day. Even if I have more debt, I can barely make ends meet through operation.
But once the company’s equity is auctioned off, even if some assets are left, it will not be able to repay the previous financing commitments and other loan balances.”
Lin Nansheng almost fell into despair. An idea that he might have thought of before but never dared to put into action was surging wildly in his mind...
"When dogs bite each other, the loser comes to me to wag his tail and beg for mercy?"
Li Zehua thought it was quite interesting. “The requirements are not high. Find a third-party company that has no connection with Qingyun to come forward and guarantee him, using the core assets of the company’s factory as collateral.
Enjoy priority claim rights.
Or simply buy the factory at a suitable price, take the money and run away?"
Money was not a problem. He was more interested in the news from Lin Nansheng's mouth.
"Tell him that he has no right to bargain. If he is willing, just say so. If he is not willing, just let him go with the secret. There is no need to touch him.
I'm not a bloodthirsty maniac who would spend all day thinking about taking people's lives. Now that he has been targeted, he will be skinned alive if he doesn't die. Sooner or later, he will become someone else's meal.
If he refuses to cooperate, then we will let the news of his presence known to us, and someone will naturally come to our rescue to deal with him."
Li Zehua had a malicious heart. When he said this, Lin Nansheng surrendered instantly. Didn't he think that he wasn't dying quickly enough by letting others know that he had contacted Qingyun privately?
But after hearing the news, Li Zehua was also troubled, "Are these all true?"
Zhang Tao nodded and said, "We have verified through different channels that there are indeed a few clan meetings where people draw life and death lots, and they match the figures that appeared near the group headquarters.
In addition, the investors behind Tengda have been meeting with outsiders frequently, and there is a trend of convergence. The other party wants to further infiltrate through the public opinion resources controlled by Tengda. "
"No wonder the higher-ups have been cracking down on the division of clan power since the beginning. What era is this? They are still drawing lots and using the old trick of one person taking on a task and the whole clan helping out. But it doesn't work on me. Arrange people to send these annoying guys in. Uncle Hat will reform them and find a way to get those people they care about out.
Want to take on the responsibility so that my family can live a better life in the future? It doesn’t matter. Do you really think I’m a little Karami with no foundation?
If it's a lonely person with no cares, then we can arrange for an accident. A person without arms and legs can't be a threat, right?"
Li Zehua made the arrangements casually, but after finishing the work, he was very interested in the second piece of news, "Does he have any evidence? Hong Kong's local financial groups have a deep understanding of business and have basically left the category of private capital.
Among them, the consortium headed by Li Bancheng is basically no different from Yutai Capital. Profit-seeking and wealth inheritance are his instincts, and he will be there wherever there is profit.
But it's strange that Tenda hasn't reached the end of its rope. To be honest, WeChat, which is only one-tenth the size of QQ, is not a fatal threat at all.
What is the reason that prompted Tengda to prepare to share its core resources with Yutai Capital? Qingyun is probably not qualified to become a threat. "
I don't understand. In the past, the Chaozhou porridge behind Tengda basically relied on its presence in eastern Guangdong, Hong Kong, Southeast Asia, and the Commonwealth economic circle, and sometimes cooperated and sometimes competed with Yu Taizi.
Relying on the special model formed in a special period of environment, Yutai Capital did not have a strong influence on Hong Kong capital. Before the 1980s, Dai Yingcai was the dominant capital in this region.
Traditional financial groups led by HSBC have witnessed the era of the decline of British capital and the rise of Chinese capital. The local faction in Hong Kong has taken advantage of the rising influence of their motherland to attract American capital to intervene and muddy the waters.
Gradually, they have achieved leapfrog development in this tiny piece of land, and today have become a huge force that cannot be underestimated. They are neither vassals of Yutai Capital nor forerunners of Dongda.
They have their own style and stance, and only do things that are beneficial to themselves. Their stance is more inclined towards Britain and the United States, and they have deep penetration into the Southeast Asian economy.
Behind most of Qingyun’s Southeast Asian partners, there is the shadow of Hong Kong Capital, but everyone tacitly keeps silent about it because both parties have reached a clever consensus on harvesting local wealth.
Local capital in Southeast Asia has also made use of Qingyun to make early arrangements in the mobile Internet era and break free from the control of Hong Kong capital. No one wants to be inferior to others in resource allocation.
In terms of political calculations and ways of doing things, Hong Kong capital is much more sophisticated than Squid Capital, which is straightforward, believes in absolute power, and will do whatever it wants if it doesn't agree.
Previously, Squid Capital had been trying to trick Tengda into going public in the United States, but was blocked by Xiangjiang Capital. And because Dongda personally stepped in, Squid Capital's attempt to gain control of Tengda was blocked.
Now Tengda has taken the initiative to step forward and say there is no inside information, but no one will believe it.
Li Zehua is a typical example of a person who is not good at what he does. He doesn't even look at the changes that his cooperation with Temasek Holdings has brought to Lijiaopo.
The fact that Qingyun Group's overseas branches chose Lijiaopo as their global or overseas headquarters alone brings considerable profits to Lijiaopo every year.
Not to mention that it will gradually grow and develop and will be able to influence the construction of the industrial ecosystem of more and more friendly companies, and will inevitably contribute more listed companies to Lijiaopo in the future.
For example, in the group listing plan he formulated himself, except for the Pinxixi local life service company listed in the United States, all other subsidiaries have plans to be listed simultaneously in Lijiaopo and the Mainland in 14/15.
Not to mention the overall layout of micropayments in Southeast Asia. No matter how much wealth is reaped in the end, the money will pass through Lijiaopo and then be invested globally in the name of Lijiaopo Company.
This is because of the delays in Hong Kong's approval of Qingyun Technology Park, outstanding talent support programs, and the impact of artificially setting up obstacles to Qingyun Group's development in Hong Kong in cooperation with Britain and the United States.
In the past six months, Qingyun Group has almost stopped investing in Hong Kong, and all of the billions of funds originally planned have been transferred to the mainland and Lijiaopo.
The six major global Bitcoin trading centers that were originally negotiated will naturally exclude Hong Kong. Perhaps one day in the future, after the mainland gains complete control, it will allow it in Shanghai.
Or open a trading center in Pengcheng. In short, there are many similar impacts. The most direct one is to push Yida Group and Yongchuang Group to withdraw their IPO applications in Hong Kong, and 361 to withdraw its application for listing in the United States.
The company has changed its application to be listed on the Lijiaopo Stock Exchange. The domestic review department has already given the go-ahead and is only waiting for Lijiaopo to set up reasonable rules as a template for future domestic listed companies.
The economic interests involved are large in scale and deeply involved. For example, domestic securities companies and sponsoring banks directly opened special channels for trading stocks of Lijiaopo listed companies.
The extensions from this include not only the joint liability of the audit guarantee provided by the domestic sponsors, but also the stamp duty collected in the Lijiaopo trading market and the share of the transaction commission.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that Lijiaopo intends to build a new financial center that may replace London and Hong Kong in the future.
Wall Street wooed Dai Ying and granted London's financial street privileges in the secondary derivatives market. Through laundry alone, Dai Ying reaped tens of billions of pounds of black assets from around the world every year.
The money that cannot be seen in the light is transformed into various legal funds that can pass through the banking system and be recognized by the tax department through London bearer financial transactions.
This part of the rights and interests will be replaced by the virtual currency trading center in the future, and the decline of Daiying is inevitable.
However, if the currency of an emerging super economy wants to become a mainstream global settlement currency, it must open up the free convertibility link, which is something that the University of Tokyo cannot do at present.
But what if the Lijiaopo Stock Exchange accepts RMB as a trading currency one day in the future?
This is a step further than Hong Kong paper. Hong Kong paper is also linked to the US dollar, commonly known as US dollar vouchers. It is not a legal currency and is a stock futures traded through the Hong Kong Stock Exchange.
Its essence is a tool for the country to buy off Hong Kong and maintain stability.
Compared with the RMB globalization strategy, is there any need to say which is more important?
Everyone within Dongda University dreams of having such a channel. WeChat micropayment going overseas is the first step, allowing Qingyun Group to acquire Minsheng Group in full and complete privatization and delisting from the stock market.
It then re-listed in Lijiaopo, shared the benefits and won over enough allies, then became the designated strategic partner bank for micropayments in Southeast Asian countries, and then intervened in the financial markets of various countries.
The second step is to become a mainstream player and seize control of virtual payments and Internet finance.
Next is the growth of Southeast Asia's own national strength, which will gradually squeeze out the influence of Souta Capital, and then use the large platform of ASEAN to radiate the world. The importance of Southeast Asia can be imagined.
One can imagine the importance of Qingyun Group in this matter.
Squid Capital is not blind. In Southeast Asia, they gradually established their own economic advantages through infiltration after the 98 financial crisis, but they are still facing a complex situation.
Advantages cannot be directly converted into victory. Southeast Asia is too far away from the American mainland and too close to the University of Tokyo. With Qingyun as the vanguard, it is mixed with Lijiaopo.
The two sides have too many common interests to separate clearly. Lijiaopo is afraid that Dongda will dig a river, so he sometimes leans towards America and uses its own interests as a banner.
But in essence, it wants to seek greater benefits for itself while maintaining its independence. It will support whoever can provide it with this benefit while guaranteeing its absolute safety.
Yutai Capital is not enough to provide security for Lijiaopo. As for Dongda, it does not seem to be strong enough for the time being, but Lijiaopo is willing to make positive attempts.
Besides, Yutai Capital has always wanted Li Jiapo to replace Xiangjiang and further weaken Dongda's influence in the international financial field. The three parties hit it off and it was rare for them to reach an agreement.
Everyone has their cards open, it just depends on who has better means, who has a more complete layout, and who makes fewer mistakes.
Yutai Capital has set its sights on Tengda. As long as it can acquire it, with Tengda's traffic and Yutai Capital's funds, it will be able to shake Qingyun's foundation.
Li Zehua hasn't seen it yet, but he will soon feel the power of the combination of traffic and capital, because after Tony Ma and Jack Ma joined forces, the capital behind both parties began to come into contact one after another.
As Qingyun's threat grows, compromises that were previously impossible to make become possible.
But will the East Congress agree? (End of this chapter)
