"Mr. Li, let me introduce you. This is Mr. Guo Guangchang, the chairman of Fuxing Group."

At the World Expo domestic entrepreneurs meeting held by the Magic Capital government, Zhang Baige, chairman of Magic Capital, enthusiastically introduced Li Zehua and whispered:
"Is there some misunderstanding between you and Mr. Guo? We are all from the Shanghai business circle. We'll see each other sooner or later. If there is anything, it's better to talk it out face to face so as not to hurt the relationship."

He was not very clear about the inside story, as the membership list of the Taishan faction had always been kept secret, but that did not prevent him from acting as the host and mediating the conflict between the two companies.

"Thank you for your concern, Mr. Zhang. Actually, there is no conflict between our two families. It's just a little misunderstanding. Thank you for your concern. It's very polite."

Li Zehua was quite respectful in public and reached out to shake hands with Guo Guangchang. "I have heard of Mr. Guo's name for a long time. I am grateful for your kindness. I mentioned Mr. Guo while enjoying the breeze by the river late last night."

Last night, someone was arranged to send Lin Qingyi back to Yangzhou, and Wang Fei was entrusted to go there personally to deal with the aftermath. After all, the show had to be done to the fullest. If you don't continue to dig a hole, how can you lure the other party into jumping out?

Guo Guangchang understood it instantly, but he was not deeply involved in this matter, and it was not worth confronting Li Zehua directly, so he took the initiative to clear himself and said:
"I just came back from Yanjing yesterday. I was just having a drink at a friend's place. I'm really sorry that Director Li missed me."

"Really? I thought Mr. Guo went to Yanjing to discuss something very important. I wanted to ask his assistant to call and arrange another time, but I didn't expect to meet him here. What a fate."

Whether it was intentional arrangement or because of their similar status, the two people sat next to each other in the conference hall.

When I sat down, I heard the emphasis he placed on the word "fate" and I understood it instantly.

After thinking for a moment, he looked at the bigwigs entering the podium one after another and simply lowered his voice and got straight to the point, "Director Li and Director Liu probably haven't met yet, right?

How about we arrange a time and I'll invite you two to sit down and have a good chat?"

"Oh, didn't Lian want Mr. Yang to come to me before? How come Mr. Liu wants to meet me in person now?"

Li Zehua laughed in silence, "I didn't expect that I would become so popular now. Everyone wants to meet me and chat, but it's been unfortunate recently.

You know that too.”

As he spoke, he pointed to the stage and said, "The leaders of the World Expo are keeping an eye on it all the time. Many of the businesses of the group have been chosen to provide professional services for the World Expo thanks to the leaders' love.

I'm busy attending meetings and supervising arrangements every day, so I really can't spare the time."

Guo Guangchang suppressed his anger. It was the first time he encountered such a disrespectful attitude towards a junior who had recently become famous. However, when he thought of the overall plan, he had to hold it in for the time being and did not lose his temper on the spot.

After all, there were too many eyes watching over this World Expo, and only a few companies from the Fujian Star Group were selected for the list of volunteer companies, while many companies under Qingyun became strategic partners.

Judging from this point alone, Qingyun Group's current status is very important in the eyes of the big guys and is not comparable to that of ordinary companies.

"It doesn't take too long. How about using Mr. Liu's free time besides the preparations for the meeting to personally visit you in the Magic City these days?"

Li Zehua was surprised and said: "That's really unfortunate, didn't my assistant inform me?
I was so busy that I forgot to tell Mr. Guo that I would be flying directly to Lijiapo this afternoon to meet with several important business partners. "

This is equivalent to a slap in the face. It's obviously a joke on you, so what can you do?

There was no possibility of mediation between the two families. The Fuxing family had to come to him and ask for a beating. He didn't mind giving them a good slap in the face.

Seeing the embarrassment on his face, Li Zehua smiled and said, "I'm really sorry. How about I go to Yanjing in person to apologize to Director Liu after this period of time?"

During his trip to Southeast Asia, he also wanted to meet Liu Sen because he was curious.

This is the first time in my two lifetimes that someone wants to take my life. Coupled with the extreme reaction of my imagination system, there is no telling what big secret he is hiding.

Guo Guangchang was really anxious this time. "Mr. Li, if the mountains don't move, the water will move. If the water doesn't move, people will move. Leave some room for maneuver beforehand so that we can meet again in the future!"

"Oh, Mr. Guo said this for Mr. Liu. This shouldn't be the case. If Mr. Liu had understood this earlier, things wouldn't have developed to this point today."

Li Zehua looked him straight in the eyes and said, "It's normal business competition, everyone relies on their own ability. Even if President Liu came out to say hello and asked major electronic product manufacturers to stop supplying Qingyun Jingdong.

I have nothing to say about not being as skilled as others, but using dirty tricks in private is probably not what a gentleman does. Mr. Liu's strategy is to fight if he can win, and give in if he can't.

I have seen it today.

Next, I will wait for Mr. Liu to use the Taishan School’s connections to take action on my other industries, whether it is the semiconductor display production lines in Suzhou or Pengcheng.

It’s the headquarters center of Shanghai, Yida Commercial Plaza. He is welcome to attack any of them.”

Guo Guangchang was stunned.

Damn, every one of these is a key project that is closely monitored by the higher-ups. Even large foreign manufacturers couldn't get them done by using their connections, so they wouldn't dare to do anything wrong even if they had the guts.

"No? Then don't blame me for preparing a big gift for Director Liu. As the saying goes, it's impolite not to reciprocate. Director Liu is old and should have retired and rested long ago."

Li Zehua sneered. This is the nature of the comprador group. They will never invest in core industries, but will only operate capital and harvest the market in the quickest and simplest way.

As long as they firmly occupy the core lifeline industries and maintain their advantageous leading position, these people will never be able to shake their foundation.

No matter what, they can only play some tricks in the capital and financial markets. Apart from that, they will not pose a threat to any industry of the Qingyun Group.

Just like now, even if he was pissed off in front of others, he didn't dare to turn against them publicly.

However, the great gift he gave was a counterattack against the capital led by the Taishan School in cotton futures.

Guo Guangchang obviously misunderstood that Liu Sen had the key information in his hands. This has become a thorn in Liu Aiguo's side. If many things were exposed, many people would die.

They gathered in Yanjing to conspire, and what they talked about was how to make the cut as quickly as possible, so that those who should go abroad could go abroad, and those who should be transferred could be transferred. In short, there were many issues to deal with.

During this critical period, we must stabilize Qingyun Group at all costs, otherwise there will be no way to resolve the chaos.

Guo Guangchang did not have the courage to turn against his opponents publicly, especially in this situation, when no one, including the forces behind him, would support him.

So he could only seize the loophole in the words and give in. "Mr. Li means that as long as Mr. Liu is willing to retire, this matter will end here?"

There are many compromise plans, and Liu Aiguo's retirement is not unacceptable. After all, his comeback is to complete the equity transfer.

Now that so many eyes are watching, even a big shot from the Central Academy of Sciences would not dare to force the matter forward. The shares are in Lu Zhiqiang's hands and he will not run away.

But if the funds are transferred to foundations controlled by Liu Aiguo and others, once the matter becomes a big deal, it will not only involve asset loss and insider trading.

Once all the inside stories are revealed, the higher-ups will be furious and determined to conduct a thorough investigation. This is not a trivial matter that can be easily resolved by throwing out a few scapegoats.

“It’s not that easy, but since Director Liu has this idea, I personally fully support it.

After all, he is old and frail, and should have enjoyed his retirement long ago. Why should he be so reluctant to leave his seat?

Mr. Guo should understand this better than I do. Every time the Taishan Sect holds a meeting, the two of them are always in charge. They always have to change positions and leave more opportunities to the young people."

Li Zehua's heart was slightly moved, and his awareness of Liu Sen's importance quietly increased to a higher level. For this person, Liu Aiguo even offered conditions for early retirement.

If he was told that it was simply a family bond, he would never believe it.

After all, it has been shown in TV dramas, with too many scenes of wealthy families turning against each other for money, with fathers and sons turning against each other, and brothers killing each other. How could one give up family affection for money?

What's more, it was not just a small amount of money, but a huge fortune involving tens of billions.

Lianxiang Group may not be worth much money, but the interests involved in Lianxiang Holding Group, which relies on this system, are not small.

At this point, Guo Guangchang clearly understood that the other party was just joking and had no intention of compromising at all.

So he said, "Mr. Li, there is a long way to go. You may be happy today, but you may not be happy tomorrow. If we meet again in the future, I'm afraid it will be difficult for us to sit down and chat together."

The Taishan Sect is not as united as one might imagine. Everyone has their own interests, and there are many who fall out over personal interests.

For example, because the payment insurance plan failed to go public, Shi Tiezhu did not get the expected huge profits, and was sued by Lu Zhiqiang, who applied for travel restrictions and property freeze.

Lu Zhiqiang's Fanjiang Group was also in trouble, and Guo Guangchang was also selling all kinds of things at that time in an attempt to protect himself. However, these are things that will happen in the future. At the moment, Guo Guangchang is just simply angry, although the resources he can mobilize cannot threaten the foundation of Qingyun Group.

However, it is impossible for the Qingyun Group to threaten Fuxing across industries. After all, the pharmaceutical industry is now a strong area for Western capital, and it is not something that can be conquered simply by having money and resources.

"How about it?"

Seeing that the two of them had stopped talking, Zhang Baige came over and asked in a low voice.

Li Zehua shook his head. "Mr. Zhang, it's hard to explain what's involved here right now, but you know I don't like to cause trouble."

Zhang Baige advised again, "After all, he is a long-established wealthy man in Shanghai, and he has strong connections and background in the upper echelons. More friends mean more paths."

"Friends? Maybe."

Seeing that he wanted to say more, Li Zehua quickly said, "I'm on a flight to Lijiapo this afternoon, so I'm really pressed for time. If the boss asks, please say a few good words to me, Mr. Zhang."

Zhang Baige then gave up, but neither of them noticed that Guo Guangchang occasionally glanced at them, which was full of resentment, but they had no way to do anything to him.

……

"After I go abroad, all matters of the group, big or small, will be decided by General Manager Gu, General Manager Liu, and General Manager Yu. If there is anything, please call me."

At the airport, before boarding the plane, Li Zehua still made full preparations according to the previous arrangements.

After the senior executives left, he said to Zhang Tao, "Arrange the plane to transport Liu Sen. Is everything going well?"

Zhang Tao said without hesitation: "The people have arrived in South America, then crossed the Atlantic Ocean, and arrived in Malaysia via the South Asian route. According to Mr. Zhou's instructions, they will eventually be sent to a rubber plantation.

The transportation was arranged by private jet, and general anesthesia was given to ensure that he would not wake up during the journey. "

“Okay, I’ll make the arrangements. No, I’ll go to Malaysia myself.”

Li Zehua thought about it and didn't say anything more. He just arranged to mobilize some people to wait at Lijiaopo.

The geographical environment and flora and fauna protection fund scientific expedition team that cooperated with the Five Military Governor's Office and sent abroad also had many filming crews in Southeast Asia.

The source of their funds is from the company under Lin Qingyi's name. It depends on who will dig this big hole. Anyway, the Jinyiwei has already targeted certain people and is digging deep to find out the mastermind behind the scenes.

At home, the Jinyiwei are responsible for protecting the safety of key figures. After going abroad, with the help of the scientific expedition team, he is not worried about his own safety.

What's more, they went to Lijiaopo, which was almost his base camp.

After giving instructions, he smiled and said to Lin Wenhui who was accompanying him: "You can be considered to have returned home in glory this time. How is it? Do you have any special feelings?"

Lin Wenhui smiled and said, "I don't have any other feelings. I just want to leave quickly. If I stay any longer, I'm afraid my colleagues will tear me apart."

"You are so proud of your achievements. It's just a house. That's all you can do. Follow me. You can become a trillionaire in the future, but you can easily become a billionaire by being on the Forbes list."

Li Zehua couldn't help but joked and got back to the point, "Take advantage of the travel time to tell me in detail the specific situation in Lijiapo. I have only talked to their deputy cabinet chief before.

I don’t know much about the specific inside story, the distribution of power, etc., and there are many things to discuss this time, so a clear understanding can improve efficiency.”

Lin Wenhui had already made sufficient preparations for today. He immediately took out a whole stack of information and thoughtfully added a diagram of the relationships between the characters, with a photo of each person attached.

This will help him have a more intuitive understanding of the overall situation.

With the charter service, they did not have to worry about being disturbed by outsiders, and the two of them exchanged sufficient information about the complex situation they were about to face.

……

After a long flight of several hours, he was given a grand welcome at Changi International Airport in Leekath.

Lijiapo is responsible for the head of economy and trade, as well as the Lijiapo Sovereign Investment Fund and Temasek are responsible for the docking team.

Leaders of Qingyun Group’s Southeast Asia branch, Lijiaopo overseas headquarters and other branches personally went to the airport to welcome us.

The deputy CEO of Temasek, who I had met once in Hong Kong, could only rank behind him.

"Mr. Li, you must be tired from the long flight. Please go to the hotel and rest first."

Huang Jianming, head of the Lijiaopo Economic Department, is in his forties, which is the prime of his life, but he is twice as old as Li Zehua.

He extended the most sincere welcome to his compatriot who was about the same age as his son but had achieved outstanding success in the north.

Because he is responsible for promoting the economic binding plan.

Almost a year ago, when Temasek received a financing invitation from the north, he took the initiative to recommend it to higher-ups.

Because the future described by the other party through private communication is in line with their plans for future strategic development.

The other party was completely detached from the corporate level and explained the vision for future cooperation from a global perspective. This was the main reason that impressed the top management of Lijiapo and actively promoted Temasek to finance and invest.

Compared with the tens of millions of dollars in funding and the expected results, it is nothing.

It was under such circumstances that Lin Wenhui and Wu Yibin took the initiative to join Qingyun Group. So far, they have done quite well, and the development of Qingyun Group has far exceeded Lijiaopo's expectations.

In just over a year, it has grown rapidly. Just a QR code, a scan, and the layout of the smartphone-related industries can make the Lijiaopo semiconductor industry profitable.

Qingyun Electronic Technology Group's largest overseas mobile phone chip manufacturer is Lijiaopo Enterprise.

From January to today, more than 300 electronic engineers from the mainland have joined Lijiaopo wafer manufacturing companies through various channels.

Li Zehua came to the south this time with a complete set of industrial upgrading plans. The related industries in Lijiaopo will receive sufficient support from the development of Qingyun Electronics.

In return, the Lijiaopo electronics industry will train a large number of talents in related fields for the mainland. In the future, they will return to the motherland after completing their studies, and Zhongxin will definitely be the biggest beneficiary.

At the hotel, to Li Zehua's surprise, waiting there was the chief minister of the Lijiapo cabinet, Li Xianlong, instead of the expected deputy.

Li Xianlong came to see him not for a simple business cooperation, but to complete the remaining part of the negotiation between him and his deputy last time in Shanghai.

About how to support Lijiaopo to maintain its competitive advantage in the semiconductor industry in the future, and to support Lijiaopo to become the future Asian financial center, and even the world financial center.

Lijiaopo is just a city, and the debate about its future development has never stopped, but everyone knows that its special geographical location determines it.

Lijiaopo must rely on the military protection provided by the world's current hegemon to effectively resist external intrusion.

But economically, Lijiaopo must rely on absolute support from Dongda to maintain stability.

Li Jiapo has the deepest understanding of Squid Capital's operating methods. As one of the four Asian tigers, Hong Kong had already hollowed out its internal industries long ago and turned completely to finance.

Lijiaopo still insists on focusing on the semiconductor electronics industry, chemical industry, logistics and transportation engineering, and has recently added life medicine as a pillar industry.

The financial industry is only a part of it, but it is undeniable that as Southeast University accelerates its overall strategic layout, it will inevitably suffer ruthless suppression from the West in the future.

In this situation, the stability of the internal market overrides everything, and Hong Kong, as a channel to the outside world, cannot sort out its internal interests for a while.

After much thought, the only one that can be accepted by both the East and the West is Lijiaopo.

So Li Zehua came. He not only wanted to use Lijiaopo as the base for Qingyun's overseas expansion, but also wanted to use it as a starting point to establish an absolute hub connecting the east and the west.

There is no city more suitable than this one... (End of this chapter)
