Chapter 862: Stay close to the government and stay away from politics
The next morning, Li Guangyu received an invitation from the president and went to the president's office.
After Li Guangyu arrived, the president said cordially: "Mr. Li, welcome to Taipei, and thank you for your concern for Dean Sun. ”
"President, thank you very much for your hospitality, Dean Sun has made outstanding contributions to the economy of Baodao over the years, Hsinchu Science and Technology Park has condensed his hard work, and my industry has benefited a lot. ”
After inviting Li Guangyu to sit down, the president entered the main topic of inviting Li Guangyu today.
The main reason why he invited Li Guangyu over this time was that the Li consortium had too much influence on the treasure island, and the vacancy of Sun Yunxuan's position would inevitably attract the attention of many forces.
He is not in good health now, and he must choose a person who can stabilize the internal situation at a critical moment.
In the past, Sun Yunxuan was very suitable for this role, but he didn't expect Sun Yunxuan to suddenly fall seriously ill, which made him have to re-select personnel to take over the current president of the Executive Yuan and his position in the future.
Li Guangyu's itinerary for arriving in Taipei yesterday was clear to the president, including last night's meeting with Koo Chen-fu, Lin Ting-sheng, and Wu Xianwen.
In recent years, with the continuous development of the Li consortium in Baodao, there are many officials close to the Li consortium, such as the current secretary general of the Executive Yuan Wang Hui, the current Taipei mayor Lin Xianggang, Taoyuan mayor Wang Jie, Hsinchu County Mayor Wang Hongchao, and the Minister of Transportation Lin Quansheng.
You must know that Wang Hui, Lin Xianggang, and Lin Quansheng are also members of the Central Standing Committee, plus Gu Zhenfu and Lin Tingsheng, these are the five members of the Central Standing Committee, which is a considerable political force, which is also what the president does not want to see.
It's just that now he can't deliberately suppress the development of the Li consortium, and a large part of the reason why the island's economy can maintain such a speed of development is the large-scale investment of the Li consortium and its allies, which makes the annual economic growth rate of the treasure island the first of the four Asian tigers.
The president said dangerously: "Mr. Li, I know the consistent proposition of your Li consortium, that is, not to ask about politics, this time I hope you can continue to adhere to this proposition, in terms of business, please rest assured, our Baodao economic policy will not change, and the development plan formulated by Dean Sun will continue to be implemented, which will not affect the development of your enterprise in Baodao." ”
Li Guangyu listened to his advice from the meaning of the president's words, and asked himself and his allies not to interfere in the competition for the president, and at the same time, the president also gave himself a reassurance, no matter who takes over, the development of his own industry will not be restricted.
And Li Guangyu estimates that Wang Hui, who is close to him, should have no chance, and as for Lin Xianggang and Lin Quansheng, they have no chance. Otherwise, the president would not have personally made an appointment with him to advise himself not to interfere.
Li Guangyu estimates that the vice president has the greatest opportunity, which is likely to be used by the president to restrict his side, and it is estimated that the president does not want his influence to be too huge here, so he did not give Wang Hui a chance.
You must know that Wang Hui's economic ability is much higher than that of the vice president, and now his reputation is not lower than him at all, and he has always been regarded as the successor of the next Executive Yuan, but now due to Sun Yunxuan's sudden serious illness, all this has been disrupted.
It's just that I don't know if the president knows the future development and will regret this choice, it is the heir he chose who destroyed the foundation of their party and allowed some clowns to come to the stage.
Li Guangyu doesn't care about this, his strength will only get bigger and bigger in the future, and a lot of things have changed now, and Baodao will implement Western-style elections in the future, and he has the ability to ensure that his interests are not violated.
He said to the president: "Please rest assured, I have always insisted that businessmen should focus on the development of the industry, be close to the government and stay away from politics, contribute to the local economic development, and achieve mutual benefit and win-win results for both sides." The economy of Baodao is in the midst of rapid development, and I hope that the new dean can follow the style of Dean Sun and increase support for high-tech industries. ”
After listening to Li Guangyu's promise, the president put his mind at ease, at present, Baodao is suffering from internal and external troubles, the situation is quite complicated, and his body is not as good as before because of illness, and now Baodao needs to be stable, and any turmoil may cause monstrous waves, especially a powerful force like the Li Foundation.
You must know how many members of the Standing Committee there are among them, and the number of allies and friends of the Li Consortium has reached 5, which is already equivalent to a quarter, which is a rather terrifying thing.
How could the president not know Wang Hui's current prestige, which was suppressed by Sun Yunxuan before, and the president still felt that it was nothing. The president knows very well that although Sun Yunxuan and Li Guangyu also maintain a good friendship, he is more for the development of Baodao, and Sun Yunxuan will not do anything that harms the interests of Baodao and the party.
Now that there is no suppression by Sun Yunxuan, once Wang Hui is put on the throne, the president is worried that after him, the party and Baodao will let the Li consortium have the final say, and he will never allow such a thing to happen.
This time, Wang Hui will not only be unable to take over the post of president of the Executive Yuan, but even the current position of secretary general will also be moved, and a new secretary general will be transferred to better cooperate with the work of the president of the Executive Yuan.
At the same time, the president has some plans, such as Koo Zhenfu and Lin Tingsheng, who are not in politics, and he is ready to remove their Central Standing Committee members at the next plenum to reduce their influence in the government.
In this way, his future successor will also reduce a lot of obstacles, he knows that once his plan is implemented, the current close friendship between the Li Consortium and Baodao will no longer exist, and the focus of the Li Consortium is likely to shift in the future, and Baodao's economy will suffer certain losses.
But he still insisted on doing so, and the president would never allow his party to become the representative of the interests of the consortium like the political parties in Western countries.
Li Guangyu didn't know the president's plan, otherwise he would really have the possibility to fry the pot, and this time the president wanted to suppress the relationships and contacts he had established here for many years, which was definitely a huge blow to the Li consortium.
The president said: "Mr. Li, I also hope that the Li consortium can really be as you said, close to the government and stay away from politics, this is the way of business, if every businessman has such an awareness, there will be a lot less fighting in various places." ”
"President, we businessmen mainly hope to be able to win a fair development environment for their enterprises, if there is such a business environment, who is willing to meddle in other things, but many places do not have such an environment, people are selfish, under the same conditions, or when it is about the same, he will choose the forces close to him, whether it is a politician or a businessman, no exception, politicians and businessmen are not saints. ”
"Sometimes it's not that we want to intervene, in order to have a fair development environment for our own business, we have to make some moves to ensure our own interests, such as in the UK, such as in Japan, for example, in North America, if we don't make some political investment, how can we gain a foothold in their market. ”
