Winner Takes It All, Resurrection 2009

Chapter 774, I agree or not

“Well, Prince Salman, I think you misunderstood.” Li Zehua said quickly, “This is a different time, and right now Dongda has just increased its strength through many strategies for re-emergence.

Our relationship with Wall Street is at a delicate balance. As you know, Bank of America, Goldman Sachs, Morgan, and other decent people are actively lobbying for large-scale investment in the physical manufacturing industry and the stock, bond, and foreign exchange markets of the East.

I can understand your urgency in seeking help to protect your own interests, but I’m sorry. I’m a member of the University of Tokyo and I should first protect the rights and interests of the University of Tokyo from loss, especially at this time when American capital is so aggressive.

Any extraordinary actions may be over-interpreted by American capital and cause unnecessary troubles…”

Faced with the request for help from the crown prince, a large customer, Li Zehua tried to reiterate that the main benefits belonged to Dongda, and even tentatively discussed the possibility of large customers exporting oil to Dongda and settling in RMB.

However, it was vetoed by Salman and Li Zehua did not get the energy pricing rights he had been dreaming of. His face changed instantly. We are all people of status and there is no time to waste.

“Mr. Li, we know that this is a special period, but considering the friendly cooperative relationship between Dongda and Dahu, Qingyun and Aramco in the past, please be sure to help.” Salman is under too much pressure at this stage.

The situation was so big that he had to find ways to seek external help at all costs to get out of trouble, but wherever he looked, he saw enemies everywhere.

Recalling the time when I was the leader of the 18 princes who rebelled against Dong (metaphorically), now I have become a lonely rich man, and only I know the pain in my heart.

Salman also tried to play the emotional card, “We have fallen into the trap, but what can we do? The big players have oil reserves, but because more than half of the country is desert, they lack the necessary fresh water resources for a long time.

No matter how hard they try, they will never be able to develop agricultural and industrial productivity sufficient to support and protect themselves. Without sufficient food and manufacturing capacity, large households will never be able to escape external influences. “

“I sympathize with your plight.” Li Zehua knew he had to interrupt, otherwise he would continue to play the victim and might try to get some benefits from him. “The decline of the Mesopotamian Valley and the pyramids is inevitable.

Even at that time, it was impossible for the University of Tokyo to completely reject the request of American capital. After all, this world only recognizes strength and does not believe in tears.

My request will not change!
I also know that most of the wealthy people do not have that sense of urgency deep down. What you pursue is just a moment of inner peace. You do not have the determination to stand up again and lead the entire world order and future development at all costs.

See, this is the biggest problem. The historical responsibility that Todai has to bear is too heavy, while the big households just want protection. The price paid by both parties is not the same.

We seek allies with whom we can share weal and woe at critical moments, while big players only need a protective umbrella to attract the attention of American capital. However, you have handed over most of the energy control to American capital, just wanting to find one that appears to be large in size.

I’m just a thug who can help you hold back the American capital at a critical moment. Please forgive me for being unable to do anything, because Qingyun Group cannot bear the title of incompetent who does thankless work.

Especially since the mold has surrounded the big investors on all sides, any attempt to break the deadlock may even trigger a serious regional hot war. Even if there is no accidental firing, it will be met with the most ferocious retaliation from Wall Street.

The price is not small, but the chips you offer are too small. No one is willing to give up easily for such a small amount of chips!”

In his opinion, everything was the result of the big players’ own actions. In a particularly famous incident, Persia had seriously damaged the interests of American capital, even though they released the person in the final stage.

However, the months-long incident of blatantly trampling on the dignity of American capital was instantly transmitted to the world through convenient news media channels, making the United States extremely embarrassed in front of people all over the world.

Subsequently, American capital quickly found a group of economic entities headed by large investors, and through a series of dazzling operations and interest enticements, successfully gained the support of the entire West Asia for the Mesopotamian region to provoke Persia.

And at a critical moment, it successfully forced the two powerful economies in the two regions to collide head-on. Everyone can see the final result after several years of brutal war.

The American capital’s resentment was relieved, but the Mesopotamian region, which was chosen after the Pyramids to develop industry and become the new leader in West Asia, was also completely dragged down and crippled.

At that time, it owed a huge foreign debt of over 100 billion US dollars. Its once unique rich water resources in the two river basins, cheap energy resources, and relatively developed agricultural planting system in the desert areas all came to a standstill due to the lack of follow-up development funds.

It stands to reason that as a leader elected by everyone, he is secretly achieving a special purpose for everyone. After he has risked his life for the benefit of everyone, everyone should contribute money and effort to help him overcome difficulties.

But when the Mesopotamian region needed the most important external support, everyone was scared off by the huge bill. They began to become hesitant and no longer willing to fulfill their alliance.

Each of them was considering their own short-term interests, as if they were not the ones who had instigated the Mesopotamian region to send troops. Faced with such blatant betrayal, it was no wonder that the Mesopotamian region, under the secret instigation of American capital, openly turned against each other.

What no one expected was that the US capital was not motivated by so-called face from the beginning to the end, but to fundamentally weaken the possibility of the emergence of an industrialized economy in the region.

Before this, American capital and the big cats joined forces to set up a plan, allowing Britain and Gaul to suppress the pyramids in various ways together with their father on the eastern coast of the Mediterranean. At a critical moment, they even watched the world’s busiest canal being occupied.

The essence of this is of course to fight for world hegemony and to crack down on those pyramids that attempt to follow the big cats. There is also an intention to suppress the emergence of industrialized economies in this region.

The root of all this is that the cost of American capital ruling the world is too high. Especially after financial capital has taken control of the overall situation, it has a inherent fear of the physical manufacturing groups.

That is the inherent destructive power that comes with industry when it develops to a certain scale. It is so powerful that it can destroy an entire financial group through physical means in an instant.

Especially earlier, a certain European economy demonstrated this power to financial groups in the most direct and simple way. That fear is deeply imprinted in the genes of every person who has experienced and survived, and can never be forgotten.

Therefore, in the process of American capital gradually dominating the world, the first thing the Squid Capital Group did wherever it arrived was to do everything possible to destroy the local mature industrial system.

Then, through the so-called global division of labor and global collaboration, core industries, especially heavy industries, are dispersed to different economies, under the guise of optimizing resources and rationally allocating resources.

In fact, they want to break up and split up every competitor, so that they will never be able to control an entire industrial chain and can only rely on the global trade system controlled by the Squid Capital Group.

The entire production process is completed under the supervision of American capital, which allows competitors to be easily disabled and become the new era of dictatorship under the financial control of the US Capital Group.

During this period, every economy involved in the production process that wants to grow and develop must obtain permission from American capital. Any economy that wants to break through alone will not only anger American capital, but also face the collective hatred of other economies.

Because each economy has to undertake different tasks in the planning of Squid Capital Group, only through international cooperation can a complete production model of a certain industrial chain be achieved.

Reducing costs is a piece of cake, but if any major economy attempts to resist, it will be suppressed by this international collaborative production system, causing the costs of the part of the production that the economy is responsible for to soar.

This will in turn affect the interests of all other production and consumption links in the entire international division of labor. This is the cleverness of the Squid Capital Group, using the power of others to defeat them.

It seems that every powerful economy is its competitor, but it does not need to act alone. Any economy that wants to challenge its hegemony will be held back by a large number of surrounding economies before it even starts.

In this way, you will never be able to escape the control of American capital. It first controls the global upper class through financial and economic means, then transforms various economies through agents and news media, sets a ceiling through artificial intervention mode, and then continuously raises the cost of various industries, creating a false impression that everyone is confused.

That is, the basic cognitive obstacles and traps of developed economies!
What are developed economies?
High income, high consumption, high social operating costs. In addition, technological strength, energy control, food self-sufficiency rate, industrial production and manufacturing capabilities, and international competitiveness are all self-contained.

If the University of Tokyo, which has mastered the core industrial production capacity according to this standard, can mass-produce developed economies, as long as the goal does not exceed 10 million people and has an ocean transportation port.

As long as the other party controls a certain core resource reserve and reaches a certain scale, for example, a large household opens the door to cooperate with Dongda, exchanges oil and natural gas resources for RMB, and then uses RMB to purchase Dongda’s endless industrial products.

In total, Dongda can purchase trillions of RMB worth of energy products from large customers every year, and then transfer a part of the related industrial chain, using this as the core exchange medium. How many large customers are there?

There is no need to even consider participating in other international trade. Just cooperating with Dongda is enough for the whole country to live a happy life in a developed economy.

When it first started, Dongda demonstrated its ability to develop electric vehicles that replaced traditional energy, photovoltaic industry chain, and industrialized products across the entire industry chain with ridiculously low costs, agriculture, and basic medical care.

Dongda can almost meet all the survival materials needed by human society. According to this standard, as long as the big countries increase the value of their own currencies, they can reach the pitiful and ridiculous entry standard of developed economies.

As long as major energy consumers and neighboring energy exporting countries are willing to open their doors to Southeast University, they can proudly declare in the next second that after unremitting efforts they have also become developed economies that are envied by everyone in the world.

See, this is the benefit of having the core discourse power. You can define it however you want. That’s why there are so many jokes about developed economies in Europe and America except the United States, Hans Gaul and Switzerland.

With a local currency of 1200, one often has to go into debt and overdraw indefinitely for the rest of his life to barely maintain a decent life. Once unemployed, it is equivalent to being exiled from mainstream society, and there is a risk of never being able to turn things around.

Trying to scare people with the title of a so-called developed economy is nothing but a laughing stock. What’s worse is that in a certain corner of the East, there is an economy that cannot even guarantee the most basic necessities of life.

They had the nerve to brag about joining the ranks of developed economies, but then they got into trouble by eating three slices of meat in the cafeteria and were laughed at by the whole world. This is bullshit. Only those who live in a dream and have never opened their eyes to see the world would believe such weirdness.

This strategy of mutual restraint and mutual consumption by American capital in West Asia is even more serious because the Mesopotamian region was deceived and beaten up the first time.

When America switched to using the euro as the currency for settlement of oil imports and exports, the American capital brazenly overturned the table and resorted to force for the second time to personally resolve the issue!
No one knows the core lifeline of the US dollar hegemony better than the Squid Capital Group. Once the Mesopotamian region succeeds in opening a gap in the international trade of commodities, the global collapse of the US dollar will begin.

This is also the core interest of Li Zehua and the Dongda Capital behind him. Don’t big investors want bodyguards?
Yes, if you show sincerity, you don’t need to change all oil trade to RMB settlement, but trade with Southeast Asia and its core allies must be settled in RMB!
Salman was in agony and torment, not daring to agree nor to refuse.

It is obvious that the eagle in North America wants to eat people, and the dragon in East Asia also wants to defend its core interests!
“If you think it’s too difficult, you can go back and think about it for two years. Believe me, you can pay a few trillion dollars in benefits and contribute more than 90% of your energy resources to American capital.

The rest won’t be a problem.” Li Zehua acted very relaxed, “This is the bottom line of our conditions. If you think it’s too high, you can go to Ou Meng or Da Mao, maybe they can help you.”

It really doesn’t matter, because Dongda has never taken West Asia seriously. It is just a quagmire, and whoever comes here will be unlucky. Without core resources that can impress people, Dongda Capital is not willing to take the initiative to step into the pit.

In previous discussions, everyone was worried about what would happen if they angered the big players.

Li Zehua solved the problem with one sentence, “Does West Asia dare not sell its energy to the University of East China? If it dares, then American capital is destroying its own global trade system with its own hands. If a powerful economy cannot buy the most basic energy and food with US dollars,

Then there is no need for the international trade system to exist, not to mention that the Big Cat and the Little Cat are about to break up, and energy from North and South America and Africa is being delivered to the country in an endless stream.

So what if we just leave the big customer out in the cold? It will turn to Ou Meng to solve the problem. We will get closer to the Husky. As long as this bridgehead does not compromise, Ou Meng will never be able to return to West Asia in this life or the next.

As for seeking cooperation with Big Cat, you are welcome. When American capital is preparing to form an Indian Ocean alliance in the future, Dongda will definitely be the first to join. If you can’t enter as a friend with a smiling face, then you can just sit there and rumble and kill your way in.”

It’s that simple and crude, there is no friendship between economies, only interests!
Everyone can see clearly the script of the big investors. After Ou Meng was defeated, American capital entered the market to kill it. During the two financial wars, Wall Street did not hesitate to cut more than 200 billion US dollars from it to recover its losses.

There will be many good days like this in the future. Until the big players are drained out, Squid Capital Group will not let it go easily. After all, in the world of capital, even if something is completely cool and dried, it will still be useful if wrapped in cloth.

Otherwise, where did all the mummies in history go?

As long as capital gives it an irreplaceable function and promotes it through a powerful media machine day after day, countless people will flock to it. Even in the last century, there was a large group of people engaged in some kind of air-dried packaging industry.

When the old ones are eaten up, new ones are created artificially, using industrial chemical methods to help them dehydrate and dry quickly, and then a brand new and irreplaceable product is put on the shelves of special supermarkets.

Salman sensed danger from Li Zehua’s resolute attitude, and watched him fiddling with the globe in front of him, seemingly intentionally or unintentionally turning the Husky’s part towards him.

He understood, but did not dare to compromise easily.

Until Li Zehua got up impatiently and said, “I am a little tired after half a day of boating. Mr. Salman, please go back first. I don’t see any sincerity in you now. Maybe we can only talk after certain events happen.”

“No, please give me another chance.” Salman’s expression suddenly changed. “I am willing to pay more. Aramco’s shares can be increased from 10% to 12%. In addition, we are willing to pay an additional billion US dollars as a token of sincerity.”

“Haha, money is just waste paper!” Li Zehua spread his hands, “Since you are unwilling to admit the reality, let the strength speak for itself. Don’t worry, it won’t take long for the American capital to get the direction of Ou Meng.

It will only take one or two years. Enjoy these last two years. Maybe we can meet in the next life, but you may have to wait a little longer because the fortune teller said that I will live a hundred years in this life.”

Salman was speechless, but refused to leave, because he knew that once he walked out of this door, Dongda’s suppression of large households would follow.

“We are all adults, why lie to ourselves?” Li Zehua was too lazy to waste time talking to him, “The Husky is determined to be the only one, regardless of whether it has the ability to do so.

But its existence will definitely separate Europe and West Asia. Everyone in Eastern Europe who is not dead can see it. Now in the whole world, only Dongda and White Elephant can help you.

When the big players can appease Babuti, we can negotiate terms. Anyway, we have many allies in the East now, and we don’t care about an economy that is destined to be sucked dry by the United States and has no future. “

If it was a hint before, it is a naked threat now. If the big family does not show sincerity, don’t blame Dongda for taking advantage of the situation and killing them.

“There is no point in saying more. The trade between the two economies will be settled in RMB. You only have two choices: agree or not. If you don’t agree, then leave quickly. Maybe you can go back and prepare for a day or two. When you serve the meal, it will taste sweeter.”

Faced with Li Zehua’s extremely direct words, Salman was extremely flustered… (End of this chapter)
