pinnacle of power

While flipping through the list of bidding companies on the application materials, Ma Ke tapped the coffee table lightly and said, "Mayor Liu, I don't know if you've noticed that in this bidding, our domestic venture capital companies are only here. It’s a little unusual that there are so many companies with foreign investment background.”

Liu Qingyu asked: "Oh? How did you see it? Why is it unusual?"

Ma Ke said in a deep voice: "Mayor Liu, based on my understanding of the domestic venture capital field, our domestic venture capital companies still have a considerable number and quality. Under normal circumstances, with the size of our Luming City this time It is definitely not a problem to have a dozen or so companies for publicity, but now there are only five companies here, and most of these five companies are second-tier companies. There are only one or two real first-tier companies. I think this situation is absolutely unusual. According to the way of thinking of our financial fighters, something abnormal must be a demon, that is to say, behind this public bidding, there must be an invisible behind-the-scenes manipulator secretly manipulating some things, In other words, the public bidding we are planning now is likely to have become the target of some people or forces secretly manipulating, and if we continue to operate in this mode, I am afraid that the final public bidding results may not be the same. Do what we want."

Speaking of this, Ma Ke pondered for a moment and said slowly: "Mayor Liu, I think we should temporarily suspend this public bidding, or postpone it. It is best to find out why the domestic companies participating in the bidding are so Only in this way can the risk be minimized.”

Liu Qingyu sighed and said: "Ma Ke, since you are engaged in finance, you should know that the current stock of the shipyard cannot be suspended indefinitely. How long do you think the stock of the shipyard can wait? I think, Perhaps some domestic companies are reluctant to participate in the public financing of our Luming City due to one or another factor, but this does not affect the overall strategic plan of our Luming City, because our goal is very clear. It is to raise funds to rescue the stock of shipyards. As long as we can raise enough funds, it doesn’t really matter whether the funds are from Japanese or American backgrounds or domestic funds. Let’s go, let’s bid Let's see on the spot which companies have won the bid. Now, we don't have much time to wait."

After speaking, Liu Qingyu stood up, and Ma Ke could only smile wryly and followed Liu Qingyu out.

Municipal Bidding Office, in the comprehensive bidding conference room, the bidding representatives of 19 companies went to the presidium one by one, and handed over their sealed bidding documents to the notary, who checked them and handed them over to the host of the bidding company. Arrange them one by one on the shaped table.After all the bidding companies have submitted all the bidding documents to the bidding documents, the host will be responsible for hosting the public singing, and the professionals will open the sealed documents one by one under the witness of the notary, and report the amount of funds that each bidding company is going to take out and The core conditions of revenue, time, supervision, etc. are all projected onto the projection screen through the projector, so that people on site can clearly see it.

And in the small conference room next to the comprehensive conference room, Liu Qingyu and Ma Ke are watching the bidding situation in the entire large conference room through the data sharing system and video surveillance system. Sitting next to them and serving them, they kept pouring water into their teacups, running back and forth, looking very busy.

At the bidding site, as the bidding documents of each company were opened one by one, the bidding conditions and funds were gradually disclosed, and the atmosphere on the site began to become tense.

Because it is in another space separated by a screen on the site, the 11 members of the professional bid evaluation committee are conducting comprehensive evaluations on the various conditions of each bidding document that has just announced the information according to the bid evaluation rules. Scoring, after the bid evaluation committee scores a company's score, the company's score and corresponding ranking will appear on the big screen at the scene.

Time passed by every minute and every second, and the scores of the 19 bidding companies gradually came out.

The first place is a Japanese-funded company - Riqing Investment Development Co., Ltd., which plans to invest 128 billion yuan. The second place is a company with a US-funded background - Medea Holding Group, which plans to invest 87 billion yuan. The third is a Singapore-based company, Yifeng Holdings Group, which plans to invest 76 billion yuan. The only company in the top ten in China is a company named Huaxia Security Investment Co., Ltd., which plans to invest 36 billion yuan, ranking fifth.

After all the rankings are published, it will soon be time to announce the final list of winning bidders. According to the bidding rules, as long as the total investment of the top three companies exceeds 200 billion, then the top three companies will be announced as winning bidders. At this moment, the entire The meeting place fell silent all of a sudden.Everyone is waiting silently.Because according to the arrangement of this bidding, the announcement of the final list of winning bidders will be announced by the mayor Liu Qingyu himself.

At this moment, in the small conference room next door, after seeing the results of the entire bidding, Ma Ke's face looked extremely gloomy.

Ma Ke pondered for a while, then raised his head suddenly to look at Liu Qingyu and said, "Mayor Liu, I think the result of this bidding poses a relatively big safety hazard to our bailout."

Liu Qingyu couldn't help frowning when he heard the words: "There is a relatively large security risk? How can you see it?"

At this time, Yang Dezhi, the director of the Municipal Bidding Office next to him, saw that the water in the water glasses of the two had been reduced by half, and immediately filled them with water very attentively, and then sat silently on the side.

Ma Ke glanced at Yang Dezhi next to him, and saw that Liu Qingyu had no intention of letting him go. He seemed to trust Yang Dezhi very much, so he didn't care about anything, and directly expressed his point of view: "Mayor Liu, I I think you should know, what is the purpose of our raising 200 billion yuan this time? We are to rescue the market, and to deal with the strong suppression of our shipyard stocks by malicious short-selling forces, but who are the malicious short-selling forces? So far, there have been many speculations among the people, but according to my analysis, among these malicious short-selling forces, funds with Japanese background, American background, Hong Kong capital and Taiwan capital account for a considerable share, and there is also a considerable part of domestic funds Taking advantage of the opportunity to make trouble, intending to short A shares, taking advantage of the opportunity to rise and even disrupt our financial system in China, because once the stock market is over, our banking system will be severely impacted, and once there is a problem with the banking system, then we may explode There is a large-scale economic crisis, and once the economic crisis comes, our reform and opening up process will be seriously hindered, affecting the people's confidence in the country."

Just as Ma Ke said this, Liu Qingyu asked directly: "Ma Ke, why do you say that funds with Japanese, American, Hong Kong and Taiwanese backgrounds account for a considerable share of the short-selling forces this time?"

Ma Ke smiled and said: "Mayor Liu, this is very simple. First of all, according to the information I have, over the years, Japan has been using its strong economic strength and financial power to detour to China through Hong Kong and Taiwan. Enter funds, so some funds with Hong Kong and Taiwan-funded backgrounds look like Hong Kong-funded and Taiwan-funded backgrounds. In fact, behind these funds, it may be US-funded or Japanese-funded behind the scenes. These funds have been controlled for many years. It has infiltrated into our China through various channels and means before, controlled some comprador organizations, and bound the interests of both parties by forming a community of interests with these people. The fundamental purpose of these funds is to make money, and the core purpose is to give Adding chaos to the Anti-Japanese War Memorial Day, in order to disrupt the pace of our Chinese economic development."

Speaking of this, Ma Ke said in a low voice: "Mayor Liu, I believe that as the mayor, you must be clear about these things, so, I think, now, if we announce that the Riqing Investment Development Co., Ltd. If the three companies, Medea Holdings Group and Yifeng Holdings Group, win the bid for our financing bid, I think it is no different from ushering wolves into the house, because first of all, although we cannot be sure whether these three companies have participated in this short-selling operation However, once they win the bid, it means that they can send people to supervise the flow of our entire funds, which means that it is very likely that all our trading actions will be exposed to their supervision Next, we can make an assumption that if one or more of these three companies are associated with malicious short-selling funds, then our trading behavior is likely to be known to them, then in this case, How do we trade to win against our opponents?"

Liu Qingyu smiled lightly: "Comrade Ma Ke, have you ever thought that if the other party is really connected with malicious short-selling funds, would they be willing to fight with their own funds? Logically speaking, this is Doesn't it work? Then we might as well reason in reverse. Since they contributed funds, they must make money. Therefore, they must supervise the flow of funds. Therefore, from the principle of capital interests first, these bidding It is impossible for a company to let its own funds fight with its own funds, and in the end, the gains outweigh the losses.”

Speaking of this point, Liu Qingyu went on to say: "One more thing, Comrade Ma Ke, I have to remind you that we are promoting this bidding to the world, and even today's bidding site is live broadcasting to the world. Under the current situation, it is absolutely impossible for us in Luming City to cancel the bid winning result without promise. To do so is to bear political risks. Therefore, we in Luming City must admit this result!"

"No! I don't agree!" Ma Ke slapped the table angrily and shouted loudly!

At this moment, it was quiet outside, so Ma Ke's voice could be heard by people outside.
