Chapter 586: Birthday Banquet Five
readx; "I don't need to talk about the rest anymore, you've probably heard about it too, and in fact, this is already an answer that can be deduced. I can understand the worries of Uncle Jin and the great grandfather www.biquge.info, and even the good intentions, and although I don't think that under the current social situation and situation, my Shen family still has the strength to influence the economic lifeline of a country, but if I ask myself, if I am the one in power, I will not rest assured that there is a family like the Shen family. Therefore, after the founding of the People's Republic of China, my Shen family actually scattered all their property, covering almost sixty percent of the enterprises in the country that year, which made my Shen family unable to have the leading management right of any enterprise, but only profited from it. It's even more complicated to talk about this, but Shi Shi, you are so smart, you should be able to deduce it yourself. It's not appropriate to say more today, so let's stop here, Uncle Jin and the great grandfather's last wishes, I will try my best to fulfill it in my hands. After Shen Yi finished speaking, he helped his forehead, and seemed to be a little tired after saying so many words in one breath.
Shi Lei nodded: "I probably should understand, but this plot is too twisty and bizarre, and I can't digest it for a while." ”
Looking at Jiang Fengyue and Jiang Bosheng again, Jiang Fengyue was of course so shocked that he couldn't speak, and his small mouth was slightly open. In fact, Jiang Fengyue had already had a lot of conjectures about Shen Yi, and he always wondered what kind of family environment could cultivate such a powerful aura for a girl. This kind of aura was also felt by Old Man Jin or Jiang Fengyue when he met several senior leaders of the central government just now, but there was always a little difference between this aura and the aura. Old Man Jin's aura is a sharp blade, no matter what stands in front of him, he will break it with a momentum like a bamboo. And the aura of those executives is an iron wall, occasionally turning into a Wanjun Mount Tai, which is pressed down from the top. And Shen Yi's aura has no resemblance to these two at all, she is like spring rain, soft and soft, and what seems to be weak just falls from the sky like a very fine cow's hair, goes out and walks around, and when she comes back, there is only a little white dot on her clothes, and she reaches out and dusts it without a trace. But it is this kind of spring rain that seems to have no threat at all, and it can be counted at once, slowly eroding the earth, penetrating into it bit by bit, and finally it is the rain that can most moisten the earth. Spring rain is as expensive as oil, which also has the meaning here.
Shen Yi is like this, when she first met her, she felt at most that she was a cold and arrogant woman, and after contact, it was easy to be gradually controlled by her, and when she found out, she was already used to carrying Shen Yi's aura on her back.
But these auras, no matter what else they are, they can't make Jiang Fengyue think that the Shen family behind Shen Yi has such a glorious history, and since the Yuan Dynasty was overthrown, all the changes of regime are related to her family. And Shen Yi is the head of this family...... Not to mention Jiang Feng's appointment, even the old man Jiang Bosheng, who has always collapsed in front of Mount Tai and has not changed his color, has also changed his color a little. These words came out of Shen Yi's mouth, and there seemed to be nothing unusual, and Shen Yi's narration had been extremely stable. Old Man Jin could naturally listen to Shen Yi's summary version of his family history with a blank face, because he already knew all this. But Jiang Bosheng couldn't help but be moved, Shen Wansan, not to mention the related stories and myths and legends left by this name, just the wealth of the entire Shen family, it is rumored among the people that even when Zhu Yuanzhang first set the capital, the money in the treasury was not as much as Shen Wansan's family, and even after the power had arrived and the Mongols had been beaten back to the grassland, Shen Wansan's family still had more cash than the treasury. This may not seem unusual, but it is almost a fantasy that the wealth of a family surpasses that of a country. Of course, Jiang Bosheng also knew that there was an exaggeration here, but Shen Wansan also had a nickname called Shen Bancheng back then, which meant that his wealth was enough to buy half of the city, but this was obviously too underestimating Shen Wansan's wealth.
Under such a huge family business, even people who don't have the best for money and wealth will definitely be moved.
Not to mention that the family's wealth exceeds the national treasury, even if it can reach one-tenth of the national treasury, that is an extremely terrifying number. And often such families can have influence in the business world beyond the limits of human imagination.
Of course, they all understood that these riches did not belong to Shen Yi alone, but belonged to the entire Shen family. Although the current Shen family cannot be as large as in ancient times, at least it is also a flourishing family of hundreds of people, and Shen Yi's personal wealth is not unimaginably large. However, in the face of such a family, what matters is not the amount of its wealth at all, but its ability to control all walks of life and its influence on various merchant families.
Old Man Jin said slowly: "The affairs of the Shen family are not something that can be clarified for a while, Shi Shi, you can understand why I have to insist on fulfilling the old chief's last wish, and the rest, you will have the opportunity to communicate with the Shen family girl slowly in the future." ”
Shi Lei nodded: "I understand this, in fact, Sister Shen Yi has become the head of this generation, which is a very good opportunity for you, old man." ”
Old Man Jin nodded with satisfaction, with Shi Lei's words, he knew that Shi Lei had fully understood why he wanted the Shen family to cease to exist, and Shi Lei also understood why Old Man Jin felt that he could do this by marrying the Shen family.
No businessman can have nothing to do with politics.
Let's not talk about ancient times, if you look at the history books, you will know that no matter how low the status of businessmen is, but the influence of businessmen on the whole society and even the imperial court is extremely far-reaching. In fact, if the person in power chops off the head of such a businessman, he will also suffer for a long time, and although the confiscation of family property can bring a large amount of income to the treasury, it will also lose a blood bank that can replenish blood for a long time.
At the very moment, those so-called developed countries in Europe and the United States, those political parties are vying for power and holding elections, to put it bluntly, for economic interests. Whether the two parties take turns in power or a multi-party election, the essence is the same. That is, to use the funds donated by businessmen to make themselves the ruling party, and in the ruling stage, governing the country is one aspect, and more importantly, it is to help those businessmen who fund their own party to get more benefits. It can be said that every election is a venture investment, and if the election is successful, then all the investment can be recovered several times or even dozens of times, and the failure of the election does not mean that all the investment has been lost, and the next election is expected to be a long-term investment, and the political party that loses the election can still get a part of the political seats. Although these seats are not enough for the businessmen behind them, that is, the investors, to make extremely good returns, it is still okay to gradually let them recoup the money they invested in this election defeat. To put it bluntly, whether it is a campaign or a boil, they are all using interests to make the ruling party have to curry favor with the people as much as possible, or at least superficially curry favor with the people in exchange for votes, but in essence they are still seeking benefits for their own party.
Under this kind of political system in our country, the government does not seem to need businessmen to sponsor it, but because there is only one ruling party, the most profitable industries will always be monopolized by the state, such as banking, minerals and now telecommunications, etc., businessmen want to deal with the oligarchs of these monopoly industries, in fact, they are dealing with political axes, and it is impossible to get a share of these industries without being involved in politics. Even many political families, they will have a part of the enterprise behind them, otherwise, how to maintain the rising economic needs of political families like them?
Therefore, this is the most terrifying thing about the Shen family.
Under the current state system, of course, they cannot form any monopoly industries, nor can they become oligarchs in these industries. But as Shen Yi said, the Shen family's industry has been completely dispersed and distributed, covering more than sixty percent of domestic enterprises at the beginning, and now, this number can only be even larger -- of course, it is talking about enterprises with a value above a certain scale, such as the kind of workshop on the street where two college students dare to set up a so-called cultural communication company.
No matter how much the Shen family has in these companies, Shi Lei has reason to believe that the Shen family will at least control the shares that allow them to enter the board of directors, and the basic line is about 5%. Of course, this little stake is not enough to influence the decision-making of a company, but when all the upstream and downstream enterprises of the enterprise and the partner companies have the shares of this minority shareholder, unless all the enterprises can work together to fight against the small shareholder, the minority shareholder has the ability to influence the decision of the board of directors. No one dares to ignore the existence of such a small shareholder, because this small shareholder can become a major shareholder at any time...... Of course, for such a huge wealth, the Shen family must have sufficient means of control, otherwise, in today's capital market, such a small share is easy to be diluted and made small by those enterprises, and control is particularly important, which is not only something that can be controlled from economic means.
And Shen Yi mentioned at the beginning that she would scatter these control methods in the future, so what are these control methods? Quite simply, politics.
Guo Hongqi, director of the General Administration of Customs, is one of these control methods, Shi Lei believes that the Shen family must have cultivated more than one person like Guo Hongqi, and there are probably people from all over the country. However, it is estimated that there are only a handful of high-ranking people like Guo Hongqi, if not the only one. The reason why Guo Hongqi can be cultivated to this position is of course the strength of the Shen family on the one hand, but Guo Hongqi's own luck is also extremely important. What if when he was in high spirits, the old director was in his prime? Wouldn't he have been put in the position of deputy all the time? Of course, there are many other aspects of luck, and the list goes on.
In order to prevent the people in power from forming too much suspicion of themselves, it is impossible for the Shen family to cultivate too many people like Guo Hongqi, even if they have the strength to get a few more ministerial-level officials, but it is impossible to really do this. The purpose of the Shen family is to control the wealth of his family, which only needs some department-level or even section-level cadres to do, so why bother cultivating a figure like Guo Hongqi? For example, Guo Hongqi, firstly, the customs is indeed quite important to a merchant family, and secondly, the Shen family itself also has the meaning of announcing an attitude to the outside world, that is, our Shen family really wants to train senior cadres, it is not that we are incapable, but we know how to stop in moderation. To put it bluntly, this is a signal to those in power, I am not interested in engaging in politics, but I also ask you not to touch me, this is a deliberate show of strength.
In this situation, the Shen family actually has a certain right to speak in both business and political circles, and that great man also understands that unless he can be as shameless as Zhu Yuanzhang to kill the donkey and directly destroy the Shen family, otherwise, if you want them to give up something, then you need to give them something. But before the great man died, the economic situation in the country was not very good, which also made it impossible for him to easily make some exchanges with the Shen family, and he could only continue to allow the Shen family to exist.
Nowadays, the domestic economic development is extremely fast, and catching up with the British and the United States has at least completed the catch-up with the UK, so a family like the Shen family is really at the time when it should gradually disappear.
So as the most loyal warrior of the great man, Old Man Jin naturally set out to fulfill the great man's last wish, and he encountered a golden opportunity, that is, the head of the Shen family's generation turned out to be a woman, and there was only one person on the main vein of the Shen family, Shen Yi's parents died young, and they failed to leave a male in the main vein. The Shen family, it's really time to separate and stand on their own.
Of course, this still requires a strong exchange of interests, and the only condition that can be exchanged with such a huge economic power is only politics, which is always inseparable from businessmen, in fact, power.
Giving the Shen family political status, so that they can give up their status as domestic economic hegemons, is also a sale, a naked exchange.
With the Jin family's status in domestic political circles, marriage is undoubtedly an exchange condition that can not only satisfy the interests of political and economic exchanges to the greatest extent, but also pay at the minimum. So there was a plan for Old Man Jin to marry the Shen family, but many politicians at that time did not understand the old man's hard work, and thought that Old Man Jin had ambitions for the position of the head of a country.
Faced with many suspicions, Mr. Jin, who had no intention of becoming the leader of the national brand, could only choose to give up. And now Shi Lei has given him an excellent opportunity.
Jiang Fengyue will become the goddaughter of Old Man Jin, Jiang Bosheng is Old Man Jin's master, and Shi Lei is Jiang Bosheng's favorite young man, and at the same time Jiang Fengyue's man. And Shi Lei is exactly Shen Yi's man, so all of this is connected.
Between the Shen family and the Jin family, a long bridge has been built, which makes the exchange of interests between the two of them have enough protection, to put it bluntly, they are actually a family. However, the outside world has no way to blame, and even if there is dissatisfaction, there is no direct reason to oppose it. Against what? Shi Lei neither married Jiang Feng nor Shen Yi, they are in love, and they are ready to fall in love for a lifetime and live together for a lifetime, can they stand up against Shi Lei and embrace the left and right to enjoy the blessings of all people?
Of course, this kind of exchange is not something that can be completed overnight, it involves Shi Lei's enterprise development, Shi Weixian's future official career, the position that the Shen family can get on the political cake, and even what kind of future Shi Lei and Shen Yi's future children can get...... Therefore, whether Shen Yi really can't immediately disperse the Shen family's industry, or she is preparing for this long-term exchange of interests in the future, she must make the Shen family's control over the economy gradually weaken, and get a gradual return politically. In other words, the speed of the Shen family's economic power dispersion depends entirely on the amount of political benefits they obtain, but these are things that no one will say by heart.
Shi Lei felt a little headache, there was too much information, even if he lived twenty years longer than everyone present and had an accurate prediction of the future, but after all, it was only a human brain, not a computer. Not only is there a huge amount of data to be processed, but there are even a lot of judgments similar to the "potential" in Go, Shi Lei must have enough time to think slowly, and now is obviously not the right time.
"Shen family girl, since you can promise me these things today, I, an old man, can go to see the old chief with peace of mind. I don't say sad words in my life, but this is my biggest wish for more than 20 years. And I'm naturally going to make some gestures, and I'll announce the matter of the righteous girl in a while, and I'll also give this bastard a gift. Old man, I have a life today, but I want to give gifts to others, haha, this is also interesting. Alright, you all go down, those two are probably almost there. Old Man Jin touched Jiang Fengyue's long hair very kindly, and his eyes couldn't stop revealing his love for Jiang Fengyue: "Stinky boy, be kind to my daughter, otherwise I will shoot you with one shot, old man!" ”
Get! This old man finally said this!
"I have a gift for you, too!" Shi Lei said as if offering a treasure, "I'll give it to you when those two are gone, I'll put it in my bag downstairs." ”
There's not much plot in this chapter.,But it's an explanation that must be done.,The text may be a little boring.,In fact, there's still a lot of things that haven't been explained.,I can only add it in the plot later.。
To put it bluntly, the current situation of the Shen family is like someone has a big killing weapon in their hands, but this big killing weapon must not be taken out and used, so they will take it out in exchange for some more tangible benefits. Shi Lei, the prince, deserves his name after all. Of course, this is just the beginning......
