Finance in the eyes of ordinary people can be stocks, financial management funds, or even bank deposit interest, as long as the assets can be increased in value through legal means.
The operation scope of professionals is higher, including futures hedging, high-frequency trading of interest rate spreads, financing and bond issuance, as well as quantitative trading, asset securitization and other methods.
Whether legal or illegal, as long as it can earn high profits in the shortest time, with the lowest cost, and does not carry medium or high risks, it is a good financial means.
It itself is not limited to a specific method. In short, it will always exist as long as there is human economic activity. Even if it is a Ponzi scheme, it is itself a means of finance.
At a higher level, for example, the micropayment and micro-wallet project currently led by Qingyun and participated in by top Chinese family capitals from Southeast Asian countries, there is already implicit support from national forces behind it.
The three major funds of Lijiapo, the Brunei Royal Fund, plus the mainstream capital of Malaya and Siam, and the credit endorsement of capital from Indonesia and several other small countries, come together to look at the world.
It can also be said that it has some strength, especially with the support and acquiescence of Dongda Capital and traditional American capital behind it. Even Cai Tai and Ou Meng dare not make things too difficult for it.
There are micro-wallet balance value-added projects backed by the credit of multiple countries, but in essence they still cannot be separated from the funding pool with a certain bottom-line guarantee. All parties involved understand this in their hearts even though they don’t say it.
Just as Li Zehua said, instead of letting Squid Capital bring in international hot money to reap the benefits in the future, it is better for everyone to stick together and strive to be a small chess player to escape the fate of being harvested chess pieces.
On the international stage, small countries have their own way of survival. They cannot have the final decision-making power in certain areas like the United States, Japan, and Europe.
It is even more impossible for them to reap the world's benefits by controlling public opinion and finance like Squid Capital did...
“The results are encouraging for now, but there is still a long way to go before the big plan can be successfully implemented.”
At the New Year party of Qingyun and Lijiapo's main allies, after some pleasantries, Huang Yizong, chairman of Dahua Group, was the first to speak, "Especially British and Hong Kong capital have a deep influence in Southeast Asia.
And you, Mr. Li, seem to be in deep conflict with them.
A few days ago, the directors of HSBC came to me, hoping to get in touch with Mr. Li through me, as they also wanted to join in and get a piece of the pie.”
"Humph, you didn't talk to me in the mainland, and you didn't talk to me in Hong Kong, but you waited until I landed and stepped on the land of Lijiaopo before you came to say hello.
Are they trying to eliminate the influence of the mainland and have a big bite alone? Or, in their eyes, you and I are objects that can be manipulated at will?!"
Li Zehua has no good feelings towards Hong Kong Capital from the bottom of his heart, and is even less interested in HSBC. His speech went straight to the core of the issue, "Everyone here is my senior, so if there are unpleasant things to say, I will say them.
There is no place for Hong Kong Capital in the complete harvesting strategy now, and there will be no place for it in the future.
According to the plan formulated previously, each company was allocated a lot of resources in the fields which are prone to speculation, such as telecommunications, high-tech fields, Internet projects, and finance.
By establishing new companies, merging old businesses, and stuffing in the poorly managed negative assets of each subsidiary, the companies packaged the businesses together and ultimately had them taken over at a high price by a shadow company controlled by Qingyun Group.
After the packaging is cleaned, it is pushed to the market for the public to consume. The funds obtained are divided into 30% and 70% respectively, and finally used to purchase energy, minerals, agriculture and invest in the truly core emerging industries, completing the blood transfusion...
The plate is so small. After all, Southeast Asia is not as good as Europe and the United States, let alone America and the University of Tokyo. There is also white elephant capital eyeing it covetously, and the limited fat is not enough to eat.
Now Dai Ying and Xiangjiang Capital want to get in on the action. If they agree, will it take 30 billion or 50 billion US dollars to satisfy their appetite?
If it's just currency, maybe we can get it together if we grit our teeth and pool our money together, but what about the corresponding resources?
For example, Chairman Yu Qing wants the wharf in East Malaysia that is owned by you, are you willing to give it to him?
Or, in other words, they want the Malaysian plantations you've been eyeing, the mining resources we share, are you willing to give them up?"
A long time ago, the actual controllers of thirty or forty top groups gathered in Lijiaopo determined the details of the division of their respective interests, and everyone expanded their shares in their respective fields and emerging industries.
After a thorough exchange of opinions, a preliminary resolution was finally reached, which stipulated that approximately one-third of the profits would be given to the University of Tokyo and America, and the rest would be taken by everyone behind closed doors.
Finally, there were a few scraps left, which were left to British capital, Chicken with a Feather and White Elephant Capital. It wasn't much, but they could barely get some benefits.
Now British and Hong Kong capital have teamed up to come to the door, obviously they have sensed something is wrong. Who wouldn't be tempted by a micro-payment business that has generated tens of billions of dollars in just one month?
Who wouldn’t want a piece of that?
Fortunately, top capital led by Goldman Sachs Morgan, Bank of America, and the Central Bank of the Eastern Universities had been waiting to reap the benefits and did not intervene, otherwise the situation would have been even worse.
But Hong Kong Capital, which has been competing more than cooperating with local Southeast Asian groups, also wants to take a bite. Why?
Li Yuqing, Chairman of the Great Eastern Holdings Group, smiled and said, “Mr. Li is joking. A well-managed port equity is enough to ensure that a group will last for a hundred years. It is the real core asset of the group.
Even if the premium is ten times, the group will never give it up. However, this round of planning is supported by Dongda and Bank of America (representatives of traditional capital).
I have specially selected several indigenous capitals and prepared to make a good plan for cooperation, so as to bring them in to make fortunes together and realize the real value of the docks, ports and commercial port management rights they control.
I believe it will be enough to satisfy you all.”
What he called cooperation was to take advantage of the scale of social funds raised through micropayment and micro wallets, and to win over people through financing, lending, and acquisitions and mergers. In short, he would give money and people.
He has all the projects and resource endorsements, and when the bubble crisis breaks out and the opponent's funding chain suddenly breaks, he can then enter the market and take over through various means.
Afraid that your competitors will fall into the trap?
It’s delivered!
Truly high-quality projects do not need to be promoted at all. If several corporate groups that control core resources sit down and work together to promote them, the probability of success will be extremely high, and anyone will be excited by the future rewards.
Doing business is like sailing against the current; if you don't move forward, you will fall behind. Everyone, from individuals to listed companies and even national alliances, must follow objective laws and rules.
Fight with others, fight with heaven!
Only by winning every challenge are you qualified to go further.
Is there any project without risk in the world?
To make money and to develop, you have to take risks. Behind every leap forward lies the blood and tears of countless people.
If you want to get rich but are unwilling to take risks, you can only lie in bed, close your eyes and sleep, and you will dream about anything.
This is a blatant conspiracy.
Qingyun Group took advantage of the opportunity of the mobile intelligent era, made its move first, and got the fattest piece of meat. It now has a huge amount of funds in its hands.
Having money, plus the backing of thirty or forty top groups and even royal resources, means having unlimited possibilities while avoiding being spied on, targeted, and manipulated.
All kinds of resources are pouring in, and you don’t have to look for them yourself at all, because money can do anything. Everyone dreams of getting on board and getting rich, and there are all kinds of high-quality projects that were previously restricted by funding constraints.
There are so many of them now that it’s hard to choose. Just put a few of them on the market and everyone will go crazy for them.
Perhaps some of the helmsmen of corporate groups who are secretly labeled as leeks are rational and cautious enough, and are unwilling to easily exit the market without absolute certainty in today's uncertainties.
That's all right!
The nature of capital determines that resource utilization is maximized. Anyone who has started a company and engaged in capital mergers and acquisitions knows that if you want to quickly expand your company's business, the best way is to acquire the best in the industry.
The company with the largest market share, why not sell it?
It's okay to buy the second and third. It just takes some time to surpass them. Even as strong as Dai Ying's previous two-naval strategy, it is impossible to completely suppress the second and third combined.
What's more, the alliance now has plenty of money. By binding more and more ordinary people, while raising funds, it allows the participating companies to use the mobile Internet platform.
Developing more user resources, bigger is better, bigger is a prerequisite for being strong.
When the melon is ripe, they will have public opinion in one hand (micropayment, Douyin interactive entertainment), and finance in the other hand (Internet finance micropayment, plus their own banks and other financial institutions). They will also have a huge employee base in express delivery, food delivery, online car-hailing, logistics, e-commerce and related manufacturing and service industries, plus the huge human resources advantage originally in the hands of various groups.
Within the scope of local rules of the game, they are enough to suppress all enemies!
(External threats do not count, so we need to win over the University of Tokyo and traditional American capital.)
Therefore, this is an unsolvable conspiracy!
If you participate, you will be blinded and overwhelmed by the increasingly huge chain of interests, and completely give up yourself in the carnival of daily increasing book wealth.
Borrowed money is easy to spend, with low cost and long cycle. As long as the project is reliable, we will give you as much money as you want, and everyone will be considerate enough to support you, allowing the project's assets to appreciate faster than most people.
But borrowed money is easy to spend, but you don’t have the life to spend it.
Except for a very small number of ruthless people who can escape before the collapse, the rest will be buried together with the avalanche. Being heavily in debt and impoverished is considered lucky, while ending one's life hastily is the real destiny.
As for those so-called smart people who are secretly vigilant and do not participate, I’m sorry.
If you develop step by step, reasonably control the group's debt ceiling, and do not blindly venture into new industries or new projects, how much meat can you reap based on your ability?
Well, you can use your one dollar as two dollars at most. Can it compare to the development speed of someone who borrows ninety-nine dollars with one dollar?
How do you respond when others offer several times the price to snatch the high-quality assets you have your eyes on, and when others spend money to fight for your market share?
Not borrowing or raising funds means facing tremendous pressure in the short term. Can you bear it? But can the investors who invest in you and the banks who lend you money?
Once is okay, twice is barely enough, but what about three times?
I've never heard that an entrepreneur, a boss, or even the chairman of a listed group would not dare to offend all shareholders and investors at once, right?
Well, competitors and friendly businesses in the industry have all invested in capital, enjoyed sufficient financial support, and grown rapidly, but you are the only one who is aloof and has a unique vision to see through everything.
Then why not show everyone the report card and the incredible dividends?
Is it a family business, and is the main funding self-raised?
That's okay. Just start small and focus on quality, stay in your own territory and have fun. Without the capital, it will be your turn to stand out in the next life.
Therefore, without relying on capital support, it would be extremely difficult to gain a foothold and take the lead in the core asset industry.
Unless you catch the right trend and a new, unprecedented large industry emerges (Internet, mobile Internet), you may have a chance to succeed by being one step ahead.
Or they can quietly work and accumulate strength in areas where capital is unwilling to intervene too much (such as early food delivery, logistics and express delivery industries, heavy industry, and low-end manufacturing).
Coincidentally, Qingyun Group’s path to success has both of these characteristics, so it was able to seize the initiative after the intervention of capital, and because of its foresight, it avoided detours and led the trend to become a strong company.
No one will refuse a business leader who can lead everyone to success.
Especially a truly strong person who can replicate miracles in the financial market!
Qingyun, in everyone's eyes, is the key to wealth...
"So, the core resources cannot be handed over. Li Bancheng entrusted HSBC to pass on the message that he wanted to layout the telecommunications market in Malaya and Siam. What is his basis?"
Li Zehua sneered, "This is not Dai Ying, nor is it a place where we can reward people for their contributions after the dust settles. We are not the squid capital that controls the lifeline of the global economy, and we don't have any extra meat to feed our thugs."
Li Zehua scoffed at Li Bancheng's large-scale investment in European telecommunications business after a certain event. What is the difference between this and Foxconn's large-scale investment in white elephants?
Using your own resources to pave the way for others, and then being kicked away when the time comes to reap the rewards, becoming a wedding dress for others. This is the outcome of a cooperation with Squid Capital.
A person who can betray his natural position is only worthy of being treated wholeheartedly by his new master.
He frowned and spoke slowly, "But I can't not give it to you."
He started with the layout of Dai Ying, He Lan and even Gaul in Southeast Asia, and analyzed the special historical background of the decline of British capital and the rise of Hong Kong capital. At that time, Southeast Asian capital and Hong Kong capital cooperated.
But in the end they parted ways.
In essence, it is nothing more than that the market in Southeast Asia is not big enough. Squid Capital, Dongda, Jiaobenji, and White Elephant all want to take a bite, and traditional British and Hong Kong capital remain.
There are still disputes between the locals and the indigenous people. In short, the environment is complicated and no one dares to say that they are the final winner except for Yu Tai Capital.
Until Qingyun appeared, using Temasek's investment in it as an opportunity to help it gradually go abroad. After a series of dazzling business operations, everyone was surprised to find that.
This freak seems to hold infinite possibilities. The express delivery, food delivery, online car-hailing and logistics industries with low added value and repetitive labor can support countless people.
The Internet, mobile Internet hardware, and software involve public opinion in core industries, finance, and have far-reaching layouts in agriculture, mining, and energy. Most importantly, it has the first-mover advantage.
Once it is successful, everyone can benefit greatly from it, and even skip the long stage of primitive accumulation and achieve a real leap forward!
Choosing Southeast University and Qingyun, or Daiying and Hong Kong University, at this moment, is not a multiple-choice question, but the popular choice!
“…The decline of Daiying and Hong Kong capital is inevitable, but no one can deny the fact that they are still a behemoth that no one can ignore today.
As the saying goes, a lean camel is bigger than a horse. In the past four or five decades, British capital in Malaya and Hong Kong capital in Southeast Asia have had too many investment projects.
According to the most conservative estimate, the total assets held are over 100 billion US dollars. The economic exchanges between the two sides are frequent and it is difficult to distinguish between you and me.
Even the businesses owned by everyone here have British and Hong Kong investors holding shares..."
There was one thing he didn't make clear, and that is that for some unknown reason, Hong Kong Capital has recently begun to show signs of taking sides!
If Lijiapo intends to replace Hong Kong and become the financial center of Asia or even the world, it must make a pledge of allegiance. It is impossible for Yutai Capital to agree to this for the time being because they have chosen Hong Kong.
But this is a different time now, the game has not yet been decided, and no one can see clearly how the situation will develop in the future.
He would not allow any deviation from the grand plan.
"Completely cut, can't do it."
Li Zehua listened carefully until he stopped talking, then he continued, "But we can't give up key areas. Don't think about cutting a piece from any company to feed the eagle.
We must be united internally, at least to maintain superficial harmony before the big plan succeeds, so as to avoid an unfavorable situation where people are suspicious of each other and guard against each other.
Even if you don't consider the chairman's face, you must still give necessary respect to the hundreds of billions of profits. Don't forget that in the cooperation agreement signed between you and Qingyun, Qingyun has the right to liquidate.
Let me be frank with you. If any company tries to betray our common interests or joins forces with outsiders to deal with our allies, don’t blame the group for taking ruthless action.”
In view of the huge profits, everyone can tolerate it temporarily. Even if they are dissatisfied in their hearts, they can only hide it and dare not show it at all.
They also smiled and expressed their support.
“Speaking of which, there is a Halloween on the other side of the sea. It tells everything. On that day, all kinds of demons and monsters can legally mingle among the people and do evil.
Children carrying pumpkin lanterns can come to anyone's house and ask for candy. There is also a famous saying that if you don't give them candy, they will make trouble.
This statement is just right when applied to Hong Kong Capital. It would be of little use to seek a partnership with them, and the plan does not lack them.
But they can't eat the meat and are determined to make trouble, which is really a problem. The problem is how much candy should we give them?
There is too much. No matter how rich you are, there is not a single grain of extra food at home.
Anything less may not satisfy them.
I am a person of low status and impatient, so I am afraid that I won't get any results if I come forward to discuss the matter. The chairman's status is too high, and although you can resolve the conflict, it will easily give them the wrong impression.
How about asking Chairman Huang to take the trouble to talk to HSBC again?"
Faced with the difficult question raised by Li Zehua, Huang Yizong thought for a moment, looked at everyone's eyes, and had no choice but to take it up... (End of this chapter)
