At ten o'clock the next morning, Li Guangyu arrived at the president's office. Li Guangyu also wanted to know what the president's attitude was now, so that he could make plans for future development in Baodao.
When Li Guangyu saw the CEO, he felt that he looked older than last year. The disease had almost exhausted his body's energy. Now he could still use some energy to deal with the affairs of Baodao, which was entirely supported by his will.
After Li Guangyu sat down, the president said: "Mr. Li, I originally thought that you were different from the leaders of consortiums in Europe, America and even Japan and South Korea. You were more of a national capitalist entrepreneur and a person who could abide by his duties.
, at the same time, I have always thought that you are a very stable and mature businessman, but your actions this time made me very disappointed.
You are using the happy life of hundreds of thousands of Baodao citizens as your own bargaining chip, and millions of people may be affected by this. This is not something that a capitalist who loves his own nation can do."
Li Guangyu just listened. He knew that the CEO wanted to make him feel wronged, so that the CEO could take the initiative in the subsequent conversation.
Li Guangyu doesn't feel guilty about this. If he didn't have these bargaining chips, he wouldn't be sitting across from the president now, and he wouldn't be qualified to listen to what he has to say.
Li Guangyu said: "President, since I took over the family business in November 1977, for nearly ten years, it can be said that I have only been driven by profit. It is precisely because of this that my industry has reached its current scale.
But I think I am worthy of our Chinese nation, and also worthy of the people on both sides of the Taiwan Strait and the three places. In these areas, my products are absolutely not profitable, and most of my company's production is located in Hong Kong, the mainland and Taiwan.
In the past ten years, our charity funds have exceeded 3 billion Hong Kong dollars, of which 70% have been used in our cross-strait and three places.
I have always felt that if I treat the Chinese people sincerely, the Chinese people will also treat me sincerely. What Dean Li did this time is chilling. This is colluding with external companies to suppress national companies, and he is now in a high position, which makes me
I feel uneasy."
The president is very aware of how much the Li Group has contributed to the economic development of the two sides of the Taiwan Strait in the past ten years. He also understands some of Li Guangyu's situation. He even knew the situation of the Xiangjiang Real Estate Construction Chamber of Commerce at the beginning of the year. Compared with
For most businessmen, Li Guangyu has been quite good to the people at the bottom.
The remuneration of industrial employees under the Lee Group has always been slightly higher than that of other companies in the same industry, making a huge contribution to stabilizing employment in Xiangjiang, the mainland, and Baodao.
Currently, the Li Group in the Mainland has nearly 200,000 employees, including more than 120,000 employees in Baodao and over 100,000 employees in Xiangjiang. This does not include the related industrial chains driven by the Li Group, otherwise it would be even more terrifying.
Although he knows this, for the benefit of the Baodao government, the president naturally does not want the Li Group to dominate Baodao.
It's just that Dean Li was a little stupid. He just kept a low profile and let Ito-Yokado and Wal-Mart come in. He insisted on holding a press conference and threatened to break the market monopoly of the Li Group in Baodao.
He knew that Dean Li was a bit impatient. Once the martial law was lifted and the party ban was lifted, it would be very difficult for Dean Li to control the situation with the influence of the Li Group and its allies in Baodao.
In order to fight against the Li Consortium and the Hsinchu Bank Consortium, Dean Li had no choice but to seek foreign aid, which was also his glimmer of hope.
The president knows very well that it is okay for him to be around, but once he is gone, he is afraid that he will immediately fall apart. The veteran faction, the reform faction, the pro-Lee consortium faction, and the faction that is closer to Japan and the United States, I am afraid that the Baodao political arena will be in chaos.
.
At present, except for Taipei and Kaohsiung, the leaders of other counties and cities in Baodao are elected by the people. Even non-party members can run for elections. This leads to the fact that in the 1985 election, Hsinchu, Taoyuan, Tainan County and Tainan City
The county mayors in the four places are all members of the pro-Lee consortium.
The influence of the Lee Consortium and its allies on Baodao is very strong. Taipei, Hsinchu and Taoyuan are the key investment areas of the Lee Consortium, Datong Group, and Yulon Group. Tainan is where the Uni-President Group is established and headquartered, with the same influence.
Strong.
Fortunately, the Koo family lost the elections in Taichung City and Changhua County in 1985, otherwise the local camp of the pro-Lee financial group would have become even stronger.
This is why the president knew long ago that Dean Li did not stop it in advance when he came into contact with the Japanese consortium and the American consortium. The Li consortium must have one or more forces to check and balance, otherwise their policies will not be implemented at all.
It's useless. The county mayors in these areas are elected by the people. They cannot be removed by naming them, they can only be voted by the local people.
But he didn't expect that Dean Li would blatantly stand on the opposite side of the Li Group. This was a direct break with the Li Group. This was definitely not something a senior leader should do.
The president spoke up and said: "Mr. Li, I personally believe that only a relatively balanced situation can achieve better development for a region. Domination by one company is not conducive to the development of all parties, nor is it conducive to the more than 20 million people of the island.
Moreover, our island has always welcomed all parties to invest and start businesses. We cannot close the door just because of individual interests. We cannot rest on our laurels. We will not stop Ito-Yokado and Wal-Mart from entering.
Similarly, we will not interfere with your business competition, and we will never introduce any policies to restrict the development of your enterprises. What Dean Li said yesterday was somewhat inappropriate. I have asked him to reflect on it, and I believe him.
I will understand my position in the future.”
Li Guangyu understands that his development here has made the president feel threatened, and he is afraid that letting Ito-Yokado and Wal-Mart come in is also his intention, in order to balance the power of Baodao.
And it seems that the president has no intention of replacing Dean Li, he just wants him to reflect on it. This punishment is really light enough.
The president hopes to maintain a balance, but Li Guangyu is unwilling. Why would he let himself fall into an uncontrollable situation if he could have the absolute initiative?
Li Guangyu said aloud: "President, the Baodao market is so big. If we maintain the so-called balanced strategy, we will only fall into endless chaos in the future. This is not conducive to the development of Baodao, let alone the more than 2,000 people in Baodao."
Thousands of people, the Japanese and American conglomerates are evil wolves, and bringing them in will only make the island continue to be in turmoil.
And I'm afraid I'm not the only one who has opinions about this Dean Li. I believe the old lady, your brother, and the elders are all dissatisfied with him. Such a person who is unpopular outside is equally unpopular inside.
, how to lead the development of Baodao.
Baodao's economy has made brilliant achievements under the leadership of you and Dean Sun over the years. Such achievements are hard-won. I hope that the president will be cautious. The happiness of Baodao's more than 20 million people must not be left in the hands of such a person.
.”
Li Guangyu still hopes to persuade the president again. As a last resort, he does not want turmoil in Baodao. Li Guangyu obviously does not want to tolerate this person who continues to jump in the political circles of Baodao. If the president still insists on his opinion, Li Guangyu
We also had to unite the veterans and reformers to work together.
