In terms of financial resources, the four listed companies under the Shinawatra family almost monopolize Thailand's TV satellite dish and mobile phone industry, and are well-deserved telecommunications kings in Thailand and even the whole of Asia, Thaksin himself owns more than 50% of the shares of these companies, and in terms of wealth ranking, it has reached its peak in recent years, not under the Xie family;

In terms of power and political influence, during Thaksin's father's and grandfather's generation, the Shinawatra family was the 'collector' of the local government, responsible for collecting local taxes instead, and it can be said that it is an old local noble family, and Thaksin himself is directly engaged in politics, and now he has reached the height of deputy prime minister, not to mention the Xie family, which seems to be outside politics on the surface;

However, Thaksin himself, and even the entire Shinawatra family, has always maintained a high degree of respect for the Xie family, especially Xie Guomin himself, and Thaksin himself even regarded himself as a son and nephew when facing Xie Guomin.

Every time he came to Xie's house, he would be like an ordinary visitor, reported by the secretary, and then wait outside.

In addition to the subjective and moral factors such as the friendship between the two families and the admiration for the Xie family, as well as some secret reasons that cannot be declared at all, there is another reason that everyone in Thailand knows: Thailand can do without mobile phones, television, and telecommunications, but it cannot do without agriculture, without mobile phones and television, there will be no change in the people at the bottom, and the people at the middle level may feel unhappy, and that's all; but if agriculture collapses and a large number of people at the bottom lose food and jobs, they will really rise up and rebel.

The king and the army can kill the telecommunications king without hesitation, but they will definitely not easily move the agricultural king, because this is the foundation of the rule of traditional forces, and the rule of the yellow shirt is still based on the red shirt, although it looks antagonistic, but it will definitely not let the red shirt completely mess up.

So even today, even if the matter discussed with Xie Guomin was a very important issue for the Shinawatra family and even for the whole of Thailand, Thaksin still patiently waited at the door for 20 minutes.

After a brief but concise conversation, Xie said: "If I understand correctly, you hope that I can help introduce Shinawatra to the Chinese government and allow your telecommunications industry to open up the Chinese market." ”

"Yes, uncle. Although he is only 10 years younger than Xie Guomin, Thaksin's uncle still called him very smoothly and said: "The mainland is in ruins, lacks technology and capital, and the telecommunications industry is one of the things they need to develop the most. ”

Thaksin Shinawatra is very clear that although China is carrying out reform and opening up, it has insisted more on the dominance of state-owned enterprises in the core lifeblood industries, and it is impossible for a foreign company to control the country's telecommunications lifeline without special circumstances.

But with such a large market, he didn't want to 'master', just 'participate', even if it was the participation of some parts of the industry, the potential of the entire Thai market was already huge.

Xie Guomin nodded slightly, but was silent.

Seeing the other party's expression, Thaksin's body leaned forward slightly, and he whispered: "Uncle, the Hsieh family, the Shinawatra family, and at least half of the wealthy merchant families in Thailand, tracing their roots, are all Chinese." I will never forget that my ancestors are from Chaoshan and my Chinese name is Qiu Daxin. I don't think China will forget that. ”

"Then do you love China or Thailand?" Xie Guomin asked.

Without waiting for Thaksin to answer, Xie Guomin took Thaksin's place and answered this question, which would be a little embarrassing no matter how he chose, and said: "If you can still use the word patriotism to describe people like us, then I think you may love Thailand more, so you want to use my Chinese relations and your Chinese identity to gain China's market and political support and further realize your political proposition in Thailand, right?"

Thaksin's expression changed slightly, and he subconsciously wanted to explain something, but when the words came to his mouth, he didn't say anything, but after a few seconds of hesitation, he nodded and said, "Yes, uncle." Thailand has only copied the so-called democratic policies of the West, but if I want to realize my ideas in this country, then I must have the support of more powerful external forces than the aristocracy, the royal family, and even the Thai military!"

"But you have to understand that China's policy has always been non-interference in the internal affairs of other countries. If you go with the current purpose, I'm not sure that the Chinese authorities will like you. Xie Guomin said.

Thaksin thought for a while and said with a smile: "What I just said is just the distant future, it is a potential possibility, China is carrying out reform and opening up, no one is sure what the national policy will be in the future, and my future is also unknown." So now what I think about is just business and transnational cooperation, since the Western world can exchange technology for the market, why can't the Shinawatra family, as a Chinese?"

"If it's just a business start, it's not appropriate for me to be your bridge. Xie Guomin said directly.

"Why? You have a very high reputation in Thailand and a good high-level relationship in China. He was puzzled.

"It's because I have a very high reputation in Thailand, so if I come forward and do it at home, it will make the royal family and the military think that we are united, and it will put a lot of pressure on you, and in China, the officials will be suspicious of your intentions. ”

After a pause, he smiled: "I don't want the royal family to think that I am a supporter of the Red Shirts, although I am the biggest supporter of the Red Shirts." ”

Thaksin smiled bitterly: "But you are also the biggest supporter of the Yellow Shirts. ”

"So I can't take the initiative to do anything about your problem, and after the balance is broken, you will face more pressure than mine. I suggest that you, since you are in business, then find the cooperation of ordinary businessmen on the mainland. Xie Guomin said, suddenly laughed, and said: "Speaking of ordinary businessmen, I really think of a person. ”

Out of the drawer took out a Chinese newspaper, Youth Daily.

Liang Yifei...... It's a name that's familiar to me. Thaksin looked at the newspaper report that 150 million won the protagonist of China's CCTV advertisement, frowned and recalled.

"The last time he came to me, you met outside the door, and you were Xie Yifei's friend. Xie Guomin said.

"Oh, I remembered. Very young one. But...... His strength is too weak at the moment, isn't it?" Thaksin said.

"But progress is very fast. Xie Guomin said: "This young man, he and Xie Yifei have a deep relationship, so I am familiar with some, in my opinion, he is more sensitive to the future than most domestic entrepreneurs, the future of the world, after all, is not an agricultural society, but a scientific and technological society, he should be able to understand this." ”

"150 million yuan......" Thaksin read through the report carefully, and suddenly thought of something, and said: "If Mr. Xu Shubiao sees this news, he is likely to put pressure on him and ask for more benefits. ”

"Then you think Lao Xu is too simple. Xie Guomin shook his head and said: "Although Lao Xu has been a little ridiculous in recent years, his mind is not confused, if this Liang Yifei is really as the newspaper said, is the light of China's future entrepreneurs, and even the top rich, then he has suffered a little loss in the past few years, in exchange for long-term cooperation with a young man who is expected to become the richest man in China, it is obviously more cost-effective; on the other hand, if this young man has gone all out this time and has no more funds, then Lao Xu will squeeze him again at this time, wouldn't it be a chicken to take eggs?"

As he spoke, he got up and walked to Thaksin's side, patted him on the shoulder, and said earnestly: "In my opinion, your biggest task at present is not to expand business on the mainland, but to stabilize your political party and win more domestic support. ”
