Chapter 534
Huo Dongjun said that Xie Guomin's arrangement in the military can make the entire military turn a blind eye to Chachai, Ban N Pitana fully believes that Chen Bichen was forced to leave Southeast Asia by the military because of his loss in the control of the military, Xie Guomin began to rise after Chen Bichen left, and it is naturally impossible to make the mistakes that Chen Bichen made, if the Chinese hold 60% of the power in Thailand, then the Xie family's influence in the military can reach 60% or more, which is a very terrifying number.
This figure is tantamount to telling everyone that if there is a disagreement between the interests of the military and the Xie family, it is equivalent to standing on the opposite side with the majority of military officials, and without Xie Guomin coming forward to clean up, the military will take the initiative to remove the discordant factors.
And the most important point is that the Chia Tai Group of the Xie family is now the largest foreign investment group in China, and China's support for the Xie family has given Xie the people full confidence, which is the main reason why the Xie family can decide to set foot in Thai politics.
To be able to get the support of the largest country in Asia, to be honest, Banne-Pitana himself has sighed more than once why he is not a pure-blood Chinese and cannot go to China to get some spiritual support and comfort under the banner of returning to his hometown to worship his ancestors.
"Why are you so sure?" Ban Pitana pondered for a moment and said to Huo Dongjun, "As far as I know, your connection with the Xie family is far from reaching the point where you can be the intermediary of the other party. β
"I'm just a little character who wanders around trying to make some hard-earned money. Huo Dongjun said to Ban N Pitana: "However, it is enough to have a small role for me, do you want to talk to you about the Minister of Agricultural Cooperation after the election, or the Minister of Information Technology and Communications?"
Bane Pitana took a breath of cold air: "These two positions?"
"There are thirty-five positions in the cabinet, and only two positions are needed to get the support of the Xie family, which in my opinion is simply too cheap. Huo Dongjun shrugged.
When he called Watson and himself about it, Huo Dongjun couldn't believe that the Xie family was so generous, and the positions of the two ministers satisfied his appetite, and Huo Dongjun thought that Xie Guomin would stand up and serve as the vice premier of the Chachaichun Hawang cabinet.
"I think Mr. Chachai would prefer that someone from the Xie family will come out as the deputy prime minister or the minister of affairs in the Prime Minister's Office, Thailand is a big agricultural country, and the Ministry of Agriculture cooperates with the military's forces...... I will have to ask Mr. Chachai for instructions before I can give an answer. Bane-Pitana said in a serious tone.
The waiter brought the sherry wine in, helped the two of them pour it and then retreated, Huo Dongjun gently shook the wine glass and said:
"Let's talk about what Mr. Bane will get, and if Mr. Bane can convince Mr. Chachai, then I think you will be one of the two ministers in the Prime Minister's Office. β
Bane Pitana's face remained unchanged, but his heart couldn't help beating wildly, the Xie family's Chinese people were really generous, compared to those stingy businessmen in Thailand, it was impossible for Bane Pitana to find a reason to refuse.
Frankly speaking, if Huo Dongjun hadn't come out halfway, Ban Pitana knew in his heart that even if he entered the cabinet of Chachai Chunhawang, he would only be the Minister of Environment or Assistant Minister of Health, and he would have to run before and after himself, and the intrigue could only get it. But now Huo Dongjun opened his mouth and said that as long as he could help the Xie family convince Chachai, the position of Minister of Affairs of the Prime Minister's Office would be his own.
What is the position of the Minister of Affairs of the Prime Minister's Office? That is, the spokesman of the Prime Minister, and whatever is announced to the public after Chachai-Chunhawang becomes Prime Minister, as long as the Prime Minister does not come out in person, the Minister of Affairs will come forward to announce it, and the exposure rate is completely incomparable with other cabinet positions.
The advantage of this is that it can make the Thai people remember themselves, and if they do things well, maybe they can jump out of the election in the future by virtue of the familiarity of the people.
"How can the Xie family be so sure ......" Halfway through the sentence, Ban Pitana paused like Yaguchi, his face slightly embarrassed.
Obviously, this sentence made him expose his ecstatic mentality in front of Huo Dongjun.
Huo Dongjun smiled and said: "It is very difficult for the Xie family to enter politics by themselves, but it is easy to use money to support another person to come out, if it is very difficult to achieve Xie Guomin to become the prime minister of Thailand, then it is as simple as a fairy tale for you to get that position." β
After briefly talking about the topic, Huo Dongjun sat for a while and left, and when he walked out of the door of the box, his face sank and his eyes were gloomy.
Leave Banne-Pitana to meditate in the box.
Although this was a bit rude, Huo Dongjun really couldn't bear to sit with such a person.
Standing in Chinatown, Huo Dongjun picked up the phone and called Xiang Watson, Xiang Watson happened to be eating Chinese food in Chinatown, asked for the location, Huo Dongjun used the phone to say a word to Radel, and then went to the Sogo seafood restaurant along the street.
In the box, I met Xiang Watson and his assistant Ashin.
In front of Xiang Huasheng was a seafood noodle, with fresh and spicy seasonings, the forehead that was eating at this time was slightly oozing sweat, and when he saw Huo Dongjun coming in, Xiang Huasheng pulled up two tissues and wiped the sweat, and said to Huo Dongjun:
"Would you like to try it? It's so enjoyable to eat. β
Huo Dongjun sat on the seat next to him and lit a cigarette, shook his head and said, "Forget it, I don't have such a good appetite as you, and it is a waste to order only one seafood noodle in a box with a minimum consumption of 30,000 baht." β
"Is it worth the price of 30,000 baht to order a table of food that I can't eat? A bowl of seafood noodles can make me enjoy it, and of course it is worth the price of 30,000 baht. Xiang Watson put down his chopsticks and said to Huo Dongjun, "How is it?
"Mother-in-law, I don't want to talk to him to prevent myself from vomiting. Huo Dongjun spit out a smoke ring and said.
Xiang Watson glanced sideways at Huo Dongjun, did not speak, Huo Dongjun said to himself: "That bastard set a trap for himself, ready to exchange his daughter for a future." β
Xiang Watson nodded: "The mind of a politician is not something that ordinary people can think clearly. β
Tell Watson about what happened to him and Ban Pitana at the hotel, and say to Watson: "Don't you feel angry when you heard me say that the Xie family is going to take the position of Minister of Information Technology and Communications?"
"Why be angry? Doing correspondence in Thailand, if I don't share the benefits with the Xie family, I don't feel at ease in my own heart. Huo Dongjun shook his hand and said to Watson.
The Xie family wants to guess the position of the minister of information technology and communications of the government, Huo Dongjun knows that the Xie family is ready to insert a foot in the communications industry, and if it is not good, it will be their own satellite to go to the sky, and the Xie family will jump out to occupy the shares, and then share the benefits, but Huo Dongjun does not reject this approach, and the business cannot be done, not to mention, even if Huo Dongjun is not ready to give the benefits to the Xie family, won't the Xie family take the money to buy a satellite to the sky? Seal the Thai market and prevent themselves from entering the game, and in the end it is still themselves who cry.
"No wonder the people of the Xie family don't even need to see you to think that you can handle these things. Xiang Watson looked at Huo Dongjun with a smile in his eyes and said.
"I've already passed the word to Bane, I can't tell you that Bane is calling Chachaichun Hawang right now, what else needs me to do?" Huo Dongjun asked.
He came to Thailand this time, mainly to pass the microphone, but he was going to promote his small business before, but now the Xie family jumped out at this juncture, and he had a relationship with Watson, so Huo Dongjun stopped by and asked the Xie family to meet a little person like Ban Bian Pitana, and they were completely disdainful, and even before the Xie family officially became president, the Xie family could not bird each other.
"There is nothing else, other things can be discussed on the phone, but I have made an appointment, don't you plan to meet the people of the Xie family? "What Watson deliberately said mysteriously fished Huo Dongjun's appetite.
Huo Dongjun smiled: "Okay, meet the real Xie family." β
The so-called real Xie family is actually the Xie family, pure-blooded Chinese, the Xie family has been in Thailand for a long time, branching out, and intermarrying with Thais, so the title of Xie family is already very general, and sometimes the Thai people on the street may be a member of the Xie family.
However, the head of the Xie family is a pure-blood Chinese, and the Xie family is a male and does not intermarry with Thai women.
But the daughter of the Xie family can be arranged by the Xie family to marry an elite man in Thailand.
This is also the reason why the Xie family continues to grow, digging out those really capable Thais, attracting them to the Xie family, and maintaining them with family affection, so that they are also in a high position and can participate in the group's decision-making, but the most important point is that there is no opportunity to peek into the position of the head of the family.
A big family like the Xie family will never have to worry about the heir being a loser or a fool, more than a dozen next-generation males are all cultivated by the Xie family step by step, and the new head of the chosen family has a problem, and someone will replace him immediately, without mercy.
Xie Guomin's father was originally the head of the Xie family, and then there was a problem with the decision, and he was immediately replaced by his uncle, and then in 83, the 29-year-old Xie Guomin took over the scepter of the Xie family from his uncle, became the new head of the family, and continued to lead the family forward.
The real Xie family person who said to Watson is the man of the Xie family, this kind of person is not visible on weekdays, and the limelight is even suppressed by those Thai elites, but it is very likely that at some time, you can see this kind of person and become the Xie family's talker.
is also this kind of person, behind the scenes, with Xie Guomin, planning the future of the family.
About ten minutes later, a middle-aged man dressed in ordinary clothes, a man who called himself Xie Yanen, appeared in front of Huo Dongjun and Xiang Watson with an apologetic face, explaining to the two that the reason he was late was because his wife punished him to wash the dishes.
This reason simply made Huo Dongjun and Xiang Watson unable to open their mouths, and the assets of the two of them together may not be as much as the man in front of them.
"Mr. Xie, this is Ah Jun, he was the one I said last time. Xiang Watson and Xie Yanen had met before, and at this time they introduced Huo Dongjun to each other, and said to Huo Dongjun: "This is Mr. Xie Yanen, a director of CP Group." β
Xie Yanen and Huo Dongjun shook hands sincerely: "Ah Jun, I have heard Xiang Sheng say your name a long time ago, and you are young and promising. β
"Compared to Mr. Xie, I am not worth mentioning. Huo Dongjun said frankly to Xie Yanen.
Don't look at yourself as a TV station, a gambling boat, and a film company, but compared with the Xie family man in front of him, maybe those assets are the dividends of the other party for a few years.
"Where, where, I live on the money left by my father. Xie Yanen was humble.
When he sat down, Xiang Watson said what Huo Dongjun had said to Ban Pitana before, Xie Yanen listened with relish, couldn't help nodding, and when Xiang Watson finished speaking, he said to Huo Dongjun:
"Thanks to Ah Jun's help, I bothered, why don't I invite Ah Jun and Xiang Sheng to my house tomorrow and try my wife's cooking. β
Of course, this is a greeting and politeness, Xiang Watson and Huo Dongjun are far from having the feelings of entrusting their wives and children to each other and entering the house, this is just a pretext for Xie Yanen to say goodbye, sure enough, Xie Yanen stood up in the next second, shook hands with the two of them, and went out to leave.
When he left, Huo Dongjun said: "It is said that Xie Guomin became the head of the Xie family at the age of 29, and it was luck to master nearly 10 billion assets, I thought it was indeed luck, but when I saw Xie Yanen today, I felt that people like Xie Yanen could only do some errands, and Xie Guomin was not born by luck." β
......
"What do you think, Mr. Chachai?" said Ban Pitana, who was now sitting respectfully across from Chachai-Chunhawang, waiting for the old man's reply.
Chachai-Chunhawang was a little confused, his fingers knuckled, and he tapped lightly on the table, and only after a few minutes did he raise his eyes and ask Bane:
"Why did the Xie family want to go into politics? Why did they start with my cabinet? Why did they only need the positions of Minister of Agricultural Cooperation and Minister of Information Technology?"
Seeing Chachai Chunhawang staring at him, Ban Pitana didn't want to leave an impression of incompetence on the other party, he pondered for a moment and said: "Maybe the Xie family has a premonition that the situation in Thailand will be dominated by political parties and civilian officials in the future, and Thailand will enter a period of real democracy?
Chachai-Chunhawang first nodded approvingly, and then shook his head slightly: "Now Thailand's interest pattern is a three-way checks and balances, the royal family and the royalists are one yuan, the military group is one yuan, and the local oligarchs and politicians are one yuan. β
"Could it be that Xie Guomin is young and vigorous and blindly aggressive?" Ban Bian Pitana said this sentence, and he didn't believe it, even if Xie Guomin couldn't see the situation clearly, so many people in the entire Xie family couldn't see the situation clearly?
"After the general election, Thailand will move from a military regime to a civilian constitutional democracy, and the situation of three checks and balances will be broken, not so, then what attracted the Hsieh family to make such a decision?"
Although he was born in the military, but because of his father Ping-Chun Hawang, he was very disgusted with the military regime, although at this time he still used the identity of the military and the military group Zhou Xuan, but when he got power, he wanted to find ways to weaken the military's dominance of politics, he wanted to change the country, 78 years of constitutionalization, the Senate was actually absurdly appointed by appointment, soldiers, police, royalist bureaucrats, these people through appointment, firmly control the Senate, the power of the Senate far beyond the elected House of Representatives.
Above all, Chachai-Chunhawan is supported by local oligarchs and politician groups that are spread out of Bangkok, and whose supporters control most of Thailand's rural areas, and if they want to win the support of rural voters, they must elevate the House of Representatives to an equal position with the Senate.
"Could it be that the Xie family has the will of the royal family in it this time?" said Ban Pytana after a long silence before he spoke to Chachai-Chunhawang, who didn't know if he was asleep or not.
Chachai-Chunhawang's eyes suddenly opened, and he looked at Ban Pytana fixedly: "This question is good, no wonder you said that the Xie family's benefit to you is the Minister of Affairs of the Prime Minister's Office." β
If the Xie family has the support of the royal family behind them, it is naturally another matter.
The Thai royal family has been working hard for decades to establish a high prestige in Thailand, and there are also economic interests behind it, although the royal family has not blocked the upcoming general election, but it has expressed through some channels that the government formed according to Western elections may not be suitable for Thai society, and hopes that the National Assembly will discuss a democratic path suitable for the current situation in Thailand.
The meaning of this sentence, Chachai never cared about it before, for him, if he wants to gain the support of the people, he must lose some of the interests of the royal family and big politics and businessmen, I believe that the royal family should be able to understand, and after he sits down, he will naturally give the royal family some other explanations.
Now, combined with the current situation, it is obvious that the royal family has not received a really clear answer from Chachai, so it has promoted the Xie family to enter the cabinet of Chachai-Chunhawang to prevent Chachai from using the democratic mechanism to expand power, and the King of Thailand himself ********.
At such a time, the positions of deputy prime minister and defense minister are secondary, and the position of minister of agricultural cooperation is the most important.
He figured everything out in an instant, and smiled at Bane-Pitana: "Bane, you didn't disappoint me, that's right, just like you just said, the Xie family has the will of the royal family behind it, and we have the support to give up some power." β
Bane-Pitana didn't know what Chachai-Chunhawang had in mind, but when he saw the other party's smiling face, he knew that the old man in front of him was no longer confused, and said:
"Mr. Chachai, what did the Xie family say?"
"No problem, schedule a time for me to get to know the two senior officials in Thailand's democratically elected government. Chachai-Chunhawang relaxed and said to Ban Pitana, "By the way, your daughter's fiancΓ©, you have seen it, how do you feel??"
"It was very bad, he and I both looked at each other a little uncomfortably. "My daughter likes him, though. β
