"I have discussed with Li Jianhui that Donghua Association will support your economic development in the future. In the near future, I plan to appoint Li Guoding as the vice president and let him assist you in your work.
In addition, you can also spread the word to the outside world that we will promote cross-strait shipping and trade as soon as possible, so as to accumulate your reputation and gain more supporters."
Dean Li is very grateful to the CEO. He knows very well that if it were not for the CEO's support, he would not be able to sit in his current high position.
There are many forces within the Blue Party, including the veteran faction, the real power faction, the local faction, the pro-Donghua Association faction, etc., none of them can save fuel.
Although he belongs to the local faction, there are also figures who compete with him, such as Lin Xianggang, who is not only older than him, but also has greater influence within the local faction than him.
The pro-Tung Wah Association faction has also grown rapidly in recent years. Although Ku Zhenfu and Lin Tingsheng no longer have internal positions in the Blue Party, they have the support of Economic Minister Li Guoding, Transportation Minister Lin Quansheng, and Executive Yuan Vice President Fei Hua. Below are Taipei and Taoyuan. The county mayors of Hsinchu, Hsinchu and Taichung are also pro-Tung Wah Association members and have considerable influence.
However, this adjustment of the president is good news for him. Li Guoding's appointment as vice president will inevitably squeeze out Fei Hua. In this way, the pro-Donghua Association faction will lose a giant.
It's a pity that the president's immediate words made him feel happy.
“In order to maintain the current stable economic development, and also to attract more Tung Wah Association companies to invest here.
Therefore, I plan to appoint Taipei Mayor Hsu Shui-te as the Minister of Economic Affairs, and I will elect Hsu Shui-de as a member of the Standing Committee in the near future.
As for the position of mayor of Taipei, Lin Baoren will take over. It is a waste of talent to let him serve as a provincial committee member drinking tea and reading newspapers every day. This time he will also become a standing committee member like Xu Shuide."
Dean Li's heart grew colder the more he heard about it. Like him, Xu Shuide was from the local faction and an outstanding representative of the local faction. He was also highly valued by the president.
Moreover, this person is also one of the core members of the pro-Donghua faction, and the Donghua Association has considerable support for him.
Lin Baoren used to be the county magistrate of Hsinchu County. The main reason why he has been drinking tea and reading newspapers in his spare position in the past two years is that he is close to the Tung Wah Society, and he is a die-hard member of the Tung Wah Society with the current Taoyuan County Magistrate Xu Zhihong.
There are only about twenty standing committee members in total. Fei Hua did not say anything about quitting. Now the pro-Donghua Association faction has added two more members, bringing its number to five, which has already reached a quarter.
If the pro-Tung Wah Association faction is dissatisfied with him and even has other ideas, they can unite with the veteran faction and representatives of real power groups such as the President of the Legislative Yuan and the Dean of the Examination Yuan, as well as representatives of the veteran faction, to unseat him.
"President, I have no objection to Lin Baoren becoming the mayor of Taipei, but I don't think it is necessary to make him a standing committee member.
After all, Taipei's current development speed is far from comparable to Hsinchu and Taoyuan. Even Taichung's development speed in the past two years is not worse than Taipei's.
In addition, Dean Fei has worked hard and made great achievements over the years. I wonder how you will arrange his follow-up?"
How could the CEO not understand what Dean Li was thinking? Because his conversation with Li Jianhui made it absolutely unnecessary for him to be too guarded against Li Jianhui and the Donghua Society.
The addition of Xu Shuide and Lin Baoren this time is also a kind of compensation. You must know that two years ago, he eliminated Gu Zhenfu and Lin Tingsheng from their positions within the Blue Party.
Moreover, he was not completely reassured about Dean Li. Those who proposed lifting the party ban were the loudest ones from Dean Li's group. The addition of two people from the pro-Donghua Association faction was also a check and balance on Dean Li.
The president knows very well that if there is any force that is least willing to see the situation turbulent, then it must be the pro-Tung Wah Society faction. This is determined by the interests of the Tung Wah Society. They need a stable environment to ensure the development of their own industry.
However, he did not want the Tung Wah Association faction to take control of the Blue Party. After much deliberation, the president said: "It's decided that Lin Baoren will become a standing committee member. No matter how fast Hsinchu Taoyuan develops, there are some positions that these two places cannot replace."
.
As for President Fei, he has worked hard over the years and this time he will resign from his positions in the government and the party and serve as my special adviser."
Grain
Seeing that the CEO has already decided, Dean Li can only hold back no matter how many thoughts he has in his heart.
Fortunately, there is a lot of good news for him today. First, he is the one to announce and promote shipping and trade, allowing him to gain huge support among the people.
In addition, with the president here, the pro-Tung Wah Association faction will also support and cooperate with him, allowing him to reduce many constraints.
Coupled with the several additional investments made by the Donghua Association this time, it can accelerate the economic development of Baodao and allow him to gain a firm foothold in his current position.
The president didn't care about Dean Li's other thoughts. After he left, he specifically notified Fei Hua to come.
Although the president currently has very strong internal control, some matters still need to be communicated well and supported by all parties as much as possible.
Fei Hua is also a veteran figure. If he is asked to step down from his government and party positions, he must accept it voluntarily as much as possible.
"Dean Fei, I specially invited you here today because I want to communicate with you. I am going to let Li Guoding take over your position. What do you think?"
"President, I am already seventy-three this year. The fact that I can continue to sit in this position is also your special care for me.
In the past two years, due to physical reasons, I have spent less and more energy on work. Minister Li's ability in economic work is obvious to all, and he is indeed suitable to take over my position.
I also believe that he will be responsible for our industrial, commercial and economic work and will definitely be able to take our development to the next level."
Listening to Fei Hua's words, the president was filled with emotion. Fei Hua was old and had no regard for power. He had no nostalgia at all.
He himself was one year older than Fei Hua, and he was also an old man over seventy years old. He didn't know how long his body could hold the boat.
Originally, he was optimistic about Sun Yunxuan, but he had to resign from all his posts due to a stroke.
As for Dean Li, he is still a bit young after all. The extremely influential Donghua Association has never been very supportive of him, and there are also many criticisms of him within the Blue Party.
"You will serve as my special adviser from now on. As for the pro-Tung Wah Society faction, leave it to Li Guoding. I only hope that he can control his heart and promote the development of the Tung Wah Society on our side instead of becoming a benefit to the Tung Wah Society.
represent."
"I should have retired two years ago. It's okay to retire this time. I will communicate with Li Guoding and believe that he will not become a representative of capital."
Obviously, the pro-Donghua Association faction was specially established by the president. Economically, the Donghua Association is needed here, but in terms of political system, the president does not want the Donghua Association to interfere too much.
For this reason, Fei Hua, Li Guoding, and Lin Quansheng were specially invited to get close to the Tung Wah Association, so as to encourage Tung Wah Association companies to increase investment here.
Regardless of Fei Hua, Li Guoding, or Lin Quansheng, they are more for the interests of Baodao than the interests of Donghua Society. Of course, they are more pursuing mutual benefit and win-win.
However, it is obvious that sitting in this position, the president has no absolute trust in anyone, otherwise he would not have asked Fei Hua to resign from the government and the party midway this time.
But now that he is over seventy years old and suffering from illness, no matter how much ambition he has, he can only live in old age.
He can only hope that Dean Li can trust him, that Li Guoding can strengthen his belief, and that Li Jianhui can stick to his promise.
What the future will bring depends only on these people. Their generation has almost come to an end.
