Chapter 1133: Broken Friendship
The president was a little unhappy in his heart, but Dean Li personally introduced and reported on the political arena, and has been focusing on training for more than ten years, hoping that after he goes, he can support the situation of the treasure island.
Now there are opinions inside and outside, isn't this questioning his vision of using people to understand people?
If it weren't for the fact that the Li consortium would have a great impact on the economic development of Baodao, the president would have driven people out directly.
It is impossible for the president to do that to suddenly replace President Li now, which is likely to intensify the current public opinion, and it is not easy to choose a new figure to take over this position.
With the people of the senator faction, it will be even more troublesome at that time, and now the public opinion calling for reform is coming in waves, and the senator faction is obviously not suitable for the upper position.
The reformists are also troublesome, they don't want the Treasure Island side to copy the American model, and some of the reformists' ideas are more dangerous.
The president sighed in his heart, if his body could still support five or eight years, there would not be so many things, but his body was afraid that it would not be able to drag on for too long, and he didn't know when he might go, and he had to consider the situation in the party and the treasure island.
In the past, the Li consortium was fine, but it was just doing business as it should be, and it didn't pay attention to things that had nothing to do with their interests.
Since '85, the Lee consortium's strategy has changed dramatically, not only on the island side, but also in Southeast Asia, Western Europe, and the British Commonwealth.
The president said loudly: "Mr. Li, standing in my position, some things are not as you wish, I have always hoped that our cooperation can be mutually beneficial and win-win, I hope that our government is a government that serves more than 20 million people on the island, not a government that serves a certain force."
Some of Dean Li's practices this time are indeed problematic and hurt the cooperation and friendship that we have established over the years, and I would like to apologize to you.
In order to show the sincerity of our government's cooperation with you and deepen the cooperation between our two sides, we in Baodao allow Heung Kong Petrochemical Group to enter the oil and gas industry in Baodao, you can build gas stations in Baodao, and you can also enter the urban natural gas supply market.
If Mr. Li is still dissatisfied and feels that the Baodao market is not suitable for the development of Lee's industry, then I can only regret it.
I believe that the willfulness of the people of Treasure Island, even if there is a great difficulty, we can resist the past, and they will create their own new life with their diligent hands. ”
Li Guangyu didn't expect the president to be so determined to continue to let President Li stay in office, and even the Li consortium would not hesitate to withdraw its investment.
As for allowing the Li consortium to enter the petrochemical industry and natural gas market in Baodao, this is definitely a balancing act he plays.
At present, Baodao Petrochemical is mainly operated by the Formosa Plastics Wang family and the Far East Xu family, and the involvement of the Xiangjiang Petrochemical Group is bound to make these two families oppose them, and there are also many family alliances behind these families, which invisibly makes the pro-Li consortium faction have many more enemies.
Li Guangyu responded: "President, it seems that you still trust Dean Li very much, and I only hope that you can not trust non-talents, but I am afraid that at that time, more than 20 million people on the treasure island will suffer, and it will cause huge losses to the Chinese nation."
Please also rest assured, our senior management will carefully assess the investment environment of the island, cautiously treat the investment in the island, our existing industry will be more bitter to make certain adjustments to the changes in the island, until the last resort, I will not choose to withdraw capital, I do not want some employees and families to cut off the source of income for some reason. ”
As for the petrochemical industry and the natural gas industry, Li Guangyu did not mention that he might as well focus on the mainland as he offended so many families by entering the Baodao market, as long as he can enter a Guangdong province, the market will be much larger than that of Baodao.
Moreover, Hsinchu Bank and Tianyu Investment Company have a lot of shares of Formosa Plastics Group and Far Eastern Group, Li Guangyu does not need to be that villain, these industries are still left to the family of Baodao.
Anyway, for this Dean Li, Li Guangyu is not ready to do this, as long as he is still in power for a day, Li Guangyu will find trouble for him, and will definitely not give him the opportunity to take over as president.
Moreover, Li Guangyu is ready to move the home game console production base in Taoyuan to Pengcheng, which can not only reduce production costs, but also find some trouble for them while developing the mainland market.
The president knew that he had miscalculated, he always thought that Li Guangyu attached great importance to the market of Baodao, and Li Guangyu would not choose to give up the development of Baodao, but now it seems that he was wrong, and he understood from Li Guangyu's words that he was afraid that President Li would reign for one day, and the Li consortium would not invest in any new projects in Baodao.
And with the development of time, I am afraid that the Li consortium will gradually transfer some industries, although the Li consortium will lose a lot, and they are also not happy on their side.
Thinking of this, the president only felt upset, and it was estimated that it was impossible to solve this matter perfectly.
In particular, the mainland is becoming more and more open to Heung Kong Capital, and many of the industries of the Li Consortium have entered the mainland market, and now they are also building a large number of cinemas in Shanghai and Pengcheng, and their treasure island market is becoming less and less attractive to Heung Kong Capital.
Moreover, the Li Consortium has always been the vane of the Xiangjiang business community, once the Li Consortium withdraws from the Baodao side, many Xiangjiang enterprises are afraid that they will immediately move when they hear the wind, and the good economic situation of the Baodao over the years will only be immediately beaten back to its original shape.
Once the economic development is unfavorable, I am afraid that the internal contradictions on the treasure island will become more and more intense, and then there will be no happiness for the more than 20 million people on the treasure island.
The president is now quite conflicted in his heart, let the Li consortium dominate, in the short term it is very beneficial to the treasure island, in the long term it is difficult to say clearly, it is not a good thing to be monopolized by the Li consortium, once the Li consortium only attaches importance to its own interests, then it is difficult to guarantee the happiness of the people of the treasure island.
The president thought for a while and said: "Mr. Li, we have said a lot today, because we are in different positions, so our conversation today is not very pleasant, I only hope that Mr. Li can make decisions for the sake of its hundreds of thousands of employees and their families, after all, your company has their share of credit in the development, on some issues of principle, we will not make compromises." ”
Li Guangyu knew that there was no need to talk about it today, and the president obviously didn't want him to get involved in politics, and even if he threatened to withdraw his investment, he couldn't cross the red line in the president's heart.
At present, the president still has the final say, and now these capitals cannot play an absolute role in this, and capital is also played in those Western countries to make money, and when it encounters a strongman government, there is no such thing as a strongman government, which is also the reason why the American consortium is bent on letting many countries learn their set of political systems, so that their capital will be useful.
Li Guangyu responded: "I have always felt that I am a member of the Chinese nation and want to do something for this nation, so I will say this in front of the president, and you are the only place where I talk about politics, it seems that I am too self-inflicted."
I respect the president's decision very much, and from now on, Treasure Island will never talk about anything related to politics as I would any region, and we will make choices based on the situation.
I am a businessman, and I will act according to the rules of a businessman when I treat Treasure Island in the future, and if there is nothing to do, I will take my leave. ”
Originally, Li Guangyu hoped to change the situation on the treasure island, but the inertia of history was not so easy to change, and the president's defense of him and his trust in Dean Li far exceeded his expectations.
Even if the president knows that this may cause turmoil in the island's economy, he is not willing to let the Lee consortium dominate the island, let alone see the government become the spokesperson for the Lee consortium and its allies.
The president knows that from today onwards, he is afraid that the investment of the Li consortium will no longer be tilted towards the treasure island, and he does not know whether his decision is right or wrong now.
