The CEO understood very clearly from Li Guangyu's words that it was obviously impossible for Li Guangyu not to interfere at all in order for the Li Group to develop stably in Baodao and to prevent his own interests from being harmed.
The Li's Consortium is now very powerful, and they are not a lamb to be slaughtered. They have nearly 50,000 employees in Baodao, and the president cannot help but consider the sentiments of the Li's Consortium and its allies.
The reason why he communicated with Li Guangyu alone this time was because he did not want the Li family group to make a big move over the president of the Executive Yuan, so as not to cause unnecessary turmoil.
The president said solemnly: "Mr. Li, I know some of your thoughts. In England, your consortium has always maintained close ties with the Conservative Party. In Japan, you have an alliance with the Sumitomo family to ensure your development there. You want
Knowing that our island is a one-party system, I will not let my party become the representative of the interests of any financial group. This is my bottom line."
Hearing the slightly warning words from the CEO, Li Guangyu didn't have any worries. Since the CEO wanted to suppress the development of his allies in the government, he should give in temporarily. His successor in the future would not be his idea.
Yes, once the face ban is imposed, Li Guangyu’s opportunity will come.
Li Guangyu would not give all the initiative to others, leaving the Li Group completely passive and becoming a chopping block that could be killed by the other party if they wanted.
Li Guangyu said with a smile: "I think you misunderstood. Our Li's industry continues to develop in Baodao, and we do maintain a very good friendship with some people. We are just friends. As for you becoming our interest representative, this
What’s more, our Lee Industry has never wanted to develop any interest representatives in politics. I believe they are all safeguarding the interests of Baodao.”
The president does not believe what Li Guangyu said. Currently, the interests of these people are consistent with those of the Li Group. The better the Li Group develops, the greater their development will be.
For example, in Taoyuan and Hsinchu in Taipei, the Cao Weiqing Charitable Foundation’s assistance in Baodao is in these three places, and the key investments of the Lee Group and its allies are also in these three places. This has led to the rapid economic development of these three places.
surpass other regions.
This has caused the leaders of the three places to have a sharp rise in reputation both among the people and within the party. In order to further develop, they naturally hope to further make good friends with the Li Group.
Moreover, there is not much risk in making good friends with the Li Group. The Li Group has never asked them to harm the interests of Baodao and the government to assist their development. They only need to give the Li Group a fair business environment.
As long as there are such conditions and the strong economic strength of the Li Group and its allies, there will be no problems with the development of the Li Group.
Now the Li's Consortium and its allies account for an increasing share of Baodao's economic development, and if there are no changes, if this continues to develop, the Li's Consortium's influence on Baodao's economy will become ever greater.
For example, Baodao Mobile Communications Company, a joint venture between the government and the Li Group, is currently accelerating the construction of signal base stations in various cities and is expected to be put into operation in early August. This company, Xiangjiang Communications Group, holds 75% of the shares.
The president is now in a dilemma. If the development of the Li Group is restricted, Baodao's economy is likely to suffer a major setback. You must know that the Li Group's economic development in Baodao has followed the laws of Baodao, but there are no violations.
If he deliberately suppresses it, it will not only cause the Li Group to withdraw its capital, but will also affect the investment of foreign capital, which will be extremely detrimental to Baodao's business environment. Such a price is something the president is not willing to see.
If there were no restrictions on the Li Consortium, it would have been okay when he was around. He believed that he could still suppress it. Once he was gone, his party might really become the representative of the interests of the Li Consortium and its allies.
The president said: "Mr. Li, there are only two of us here, and I won't talk in circles with you. We both know what we think. I also know that if the Li Group does not have any influence on the government, you
My heart will also be full of anxiety, and I will be worried about the development of Baodao. It’s just that you currently have too much influence on the government, which is not in the interests of Baodao. I will make some adjustments at this year’s Party Congress.
I hope you can understand."
…
Li Guangyu didn't leave the president's mansion until four o'clock in the afternoon, and he also had dinner with the president at noon.
During these seven hours, Li Guangyu and the president communicated on many aspects and reached consensus on some aspects.
This time, the Lee Group and its allies suffered heavy losses politically, but the president gave many benefits and promises in terms of economic development.
The results of this meeting have received mixed reviews from the outside world. Some people feel that Li Guangyu's compromise has caused heavy losses to the Lee Consortium and its allies in the Baodao political arena.
Baodao's influence in politics has been declining.
The prospects of officials who were close to the Li Group were suppressed, and some officials who once had a good relationship with the Li Group gradually distanced themselves from the Li Group to prevent their own futures from being affected and ruining the previous years of operations of the Li Group.
.
It was not until the mid-1990s that the Lee Group's influence in this area became stronger again after Baodao implemented direct elections for its leaders.
However, some people believe that the Lee Consortium and its allies have benefited greatly from this time. The certain concessions made this time have eased the differences between the Lee Consortium and its allies and the top leader of the government, avoiding the situation of tit-for-tat confrontation.
At the same time, due to some benefits and promises given by the president, the Li Group and its allies have achieved monopoly in some economic fields, such as mobile telecommunications, mobile phone finance, retail, automotive semiconductors and other fields.
This allows the Li Group to occupy a very high proportion in Baodao's economic field, and will also make it increasingly difficult for Baodao's senior leaders to suppress the Li Group in the future.
During the first direct elections in the three cities of Taipei, Kaohsiung and Tainan, the Lee Group staged a return of the king for Treasure Island. People close to the Lee Group won the election of mayors in the three cities with an overwhelming advantage.
Li Guangyu is not thinking about such far-off things now. He needs to appease his allies. This time, they are suppressed mainly because of himself.
In the short term, it will be difficult for them to get ahead in politics. Gu Zhenfu and Lin Tingsheng are fine. It doesn't matter if they no longer have the status of members of the Central Standing Committee. They only need to develop their family businesses well.
But Wang Hui, Lin Xianggang, Wang Jie and others are feeling uncomfortable. They have always been confident and prepared to go further. Whether it is political performance or reputation, they have met the conditions. Now that the president suddenly suppresses them, their entire political careers are likely to be ruined.
No progress can be made.
These people are no longer old. After more than ten years, they still have some energy left to regroup. This time, they are dealt a severe blow.
Li Guangyu sometimes doesn't like politics. He wants Wang Hui to be far higher than the vice president in terms of political performance and reputation. It's a pity that these things are not in line with the development of the party in the president's heart, so he directly stopped Wang Hui's politics.
career.
The president himself is also extremely complicated. He doesn't know whether it is good or bad for Baodao this time. The Li Group has too much influence in their party and government, so he has to impose restrictions. As for Wang Hui and others, that can only be done.
They think they are unlucky, because they are so closely related to the Li Group.
The president said to Ma Jizhuang, secretary-general of the president's office: "Inform the Ministry of Internal Affairs and ask them to pay attention to the movements of Wang Hui, Lin Xianggang, Lin Quansheng and others. At the same time, pay attention to public opinion in the market. Once they are suspected of inciting the public, arrest them immediately. And keep an eye on me.
Baodao Xiangyu Daily and Jiayi Chinese Channel will immediately block the news they publish if there are any violations."
The president knew that this time would be a huge blow to the Li Group, and he was worried that the Li Group would make any unexpected moves at this time.
