After hearing what Mr. Ye said, Ye Kai's heart couldn't help but beat a few times.
The old man spoke so boldly, but Ye Kai was still doubtful in his heart.
Although Mr. Ye is said to be very powerful, compared to the two major forces of the reformists and conservatives who are now raging and equally powerful, they cannot be compared, right?
Seeing the doubt on his grandson's face, Mr. Ye smiled and said, "Some things should not be taken at face value."
After hearing what he said, Ye Kai believed it a little bit in his heart.
Not to mention anything else, just the power that the Ye family has surfaced is shocking.
Needless to say, Mr. Ye is a veteran military figure who has been in charge of economic construction for decades and has far-reaching influence. The power of a large number of old subordinates cannot be underestimated. The second old man, Ye Xiangkun, is only 66 years old and is the deputy chief of the Military Commission.
High weight.
Ye Jian, the 50-year-old eldest son of the second generation of the Ye family, is the commander of the Southeast Military Region and has the rank of general.
The second son Ye Zichu, 43 years old, is the chief of staff of the Liaodong Military Region and has the rank of lieutenant general.
As for Ye Kai's father, Ye Ziping, he is only 40 years old this year and is already the deputy director of the Propaganda Department.
Ye's eldest daughter, Ye Ziyu, is 40 years old. She and Ye Ziping are twin siblings. They are the vice president of the General Military Hospital and a famous cardio-cerebral surgery expert. Ye Ziyu's husband, Luo Hua, is a financial expert and a core member of the State Council think tank.
The second daughter, Yizirong, is 38 years old and is currently the director of the Ministry of Foreign Trade. Yizirong’s husband, Li Yichen, was once the ambassador to the United States and is currently the deputy minister of foreign affairs. He is also a remarkable figure.
Just the power shown by these immediate relatives of the Ye family is enough to shock the world. What's more, who doesn't have a few long-standing friends, family friends, familiar colleagues, and loyal subordinates?
The Ye family has been standing strong since before the founding of the country. Even in the ten years of catastrophe, it has not been greatly affected. This has something to do with Mr. Ye's steady and low-key life strategy, and also with his disciples and old subordinates all over the world.
Not irrelevant.
After decades of political career, how huge will be the network of relationships that Mr. Ye and Mr. Ye have built?
It can be said that the Ye family's power in both the military and the government is unparalleled!
Ye Kai suddenly thought this, and he was a little shocked. He really didn't know, but he was shocked. As Mr. Ye said, the Ye family does not need to stand in line. If you want to stand in line, others must choose the Ye family's team to stand.
right.
"I'm dizzy. It turns out that our Ye family is the largest family..." Ye Kai said, touching his chin.
It's no wonder that the reason why Ye Kai misjudged the strength of his family was that in his memory, he had never done anything worth boasting about, so the third generation of the Ye family naturally withered away.
.
It is inevitable that any political family that has no successors can continue its glory.
Therefore, many of the family's resources and inside information are naturally unknown to Ye Kai.
In the past, Ye Kai always felt that only the family that became the number one leader could be called the first family, but when he thought about it carefully, there was something wrong.
The introduction of each of the nine giants is the final result of the game of countless interest groups behind them. Even if they ascend to the supreme position, they only have the largest say among the Standing Committee. It cannot be said that they can cover the sky with one hand.
On the contrary, it is the huge power groups hidden under the water that are the behemoths that can control everything, the real aristocratic families. Their power can affect the national economy and people's livelihood, and the direction of policies, just like the old Ye family.
After an in-depth exchange with his grandson, it seems that Mr. Ye is quite satisfied with Ye Kai. After all, he is only a senior high school student. At such an old age, whose son dares to speculate on international oil futures? Just with this idea,
Will he be scolded by his family members?
But the grandson of my old Ye family has such courage! Not only did he think about it, but he also did it!
As for whether this matter can be accomplished in the end, although it is difficult for Mr. Ye to say for certain, he knows that this time Ye Kai will at least not lose his money and make a small profit.
Because Ye Kai's analysis really impressed Mr. Ye.
"Let's have dinner together later. An old friend is coming and you should meet him too." Mr. Ye suddenly said.
"Okay." Ye Kai nodded in response, but did not ask, who was coming?
After Mr. Ye finished speaking, he sat on the sofa and continued to put on his reading glasses and read the newspaper.
Ye Kai didn't say anything. He first refilled the old man's cup of tea, then found a newspaper himself and sat there to read it.
After about ten minutes, Mr. Ye suddenly asked, "Why don't you ask me who is here?"
"You'll know when you come here. It's not like you're looking for me anyway." Ye Kai replied nonchalantly.
"Hey, that makes sense." Mr. Ye smiled.
In fact, Ye Kaixin also knew that the status of those who came would never be low.
With Mr. Ye's qualifications, he can probably count the number of people he can call old friends on one hand.
Ye Kai estimated that those who came were either Comrade Fang He, the top leader who had retired, or Comrade Chu Feng, who played an important role in the Central Advisory Committee. Even the current number one leader, Comrade Jiang Cheng, had much lower qualifications than Mr. Ye.
One level above.
If we talk about it carefully, Comrade Jiang Cheng should belong to the next generation of Mr. Ye and others.
Judging from the current situation, Comrade Chu Feng has the upper hand for the time being, and the conservative forces have surged. Naturally, there is not much time to visit Mr. Ye to reminisce about the past, so most of the people who came to visit this time were after what happened last year, and their political reputation was affected.
Comrade Fang He who had great influence.
Sure enough, about half an hour later, voices came from outside the yard.
"Come on, follow me out to greet you." Mr. Ye stood up and said to Ye Kai.
Ye Kai jumped up. He had already heard it. The Sichuan voice coming from outside was indeed the unique voice of Comrade Fang He. Although he was eighty years old, his voice was still very loud and had a unique charm that could easily infect others.
.
Ye Kai had admired Comrade Fang He for a long time and only met him once.
The reason for this is naturally because he was young and was not qualified to participate in family affairs. When he got older, Mr. Ye had passed away, and Comrade Fang He had also passed away, and there was no chance for them to meet face to face.
"Ye Laohu, are you in good health?" Comrade Fang He laughed loudly when he saw Mr. Ye, and the friendship revealed in his voice was very deep.
"TOEFL, TOEFL, Brother Fang, you are in good health too, that's good." Mr. Ye cupped his hands and welcomed Comrade Fang He into the house with a smile.
