Du Taiping met with the heads of the Ten Thousand Years Consortium, and Jia Liping also went there.
But Li Zhen did not attend this interview.
The result is actually what Li Zhen can imagine, he can imagine it with his big toe, and the people of the Ten Thousand Years Consortium will definitely resist fiercely.
Today's Ten Thousand Years Consortium is a group that can truly compete with the country. A true counterbalance.
During the meeting, Jia Liping remained silent and did not express any opinions. Just be transparent.
Because everyone present knew very well that without Li Zhen's acquiescence, would Du Taiping, an emperor who had just ascended the throne, dare to touch the 10,000-year-old cake
But it is clear that everyone is pretending to be stupid and pretending that they do not understand. Even Du Taiping didn't mention Li Zhen at all.
We are all smart people, and the world is full of benefits. Who would make himself uncomfortable
But the cake of the Ten Thousand Years Consortium is now too big, and it will be a matter of time before the government takes action against them. And it is a certainty that it will be a piece of cake for ten thousand years.
Li Zhen was not present in person, but when Jia Liping came back to report the situation, he kept frowning.
Jia Liping said seriously: "Master Li, do you really want to cut off the Ten Thousand Years Consortium?"
Li Zhen was silent for a long time and nodded silently.
Jia Liping was really anxious: "Why, Master Li? You personally established the Ten Thousand Years Consortium, and their existence has brought extremely huge benefits to the country. Why do you want to cut off the Ten Thousand Years Consortium?"
"A bowl of water is the same, and the new Kyushu government was established by me."
"But… "
Li Zhen sighed: "I will not touch the Ten Thousand Years Consortium unless it is absolutely necessary. But there is no other way. You can only see the benefits that the Ten Thousand Years Consortium will bring to New Kyushu. But take a long-term view, ten or twenty years from now , it will grow into a huge organization that even the new Kyushu government cannot shake. At that time, the state would do whatever the consortium said, without even letting out a single fart. The power of capital is too terrifying."
In fact, Li Zhen really did not expect that the final new government would be established by himself.
The purpose of establishing the Ten Thousand Years Consortium was very simple. One was to enable Dongzhou to develop rapidly. The second is that at that time, it was believed that Xun Shifei would eventually ascend the throne and unify. In order to maintain the status of the Kyushu Academy of Sciences, Li Zhencai created the Ten Thousand Years Consortium, an organization that can influence national decision-making.
But now the situation suddenly changed, and Xun Shifei was unable to unify the overall situation. The final new Kyushu government was established by ourselves.
He single-handedly established a national government, and previously established a capital consortium. Which side should Li Zhen lean towards
Needless to say, it is natural to lean towards the national government.
It's very simple. The Ten Thousand Years Consortium is only for capital. But the national government is responsible for the life and death of all the people in New Kyushu.
You can never have your cake and eat it too, it is a matter of trade-off. Therefore, we must take the new Kyushu and give up ten thousand years. I don’t mean to say that it will be completely suppressed for ten thousand years, but the government must also intervene.
The Ten Thousand Years Consortium now has its own presence, so they don't dare to make any waves. No one can shake me.
But what about decades from now? What about after you die? What happens after the first batch of people in the Ten Thousand Years Consortium are turned into loess and inherited by their family’s descendants
At that time, it doesn’t matter what your prestige or your right to speak is. Whoever has the big fist will follow. If your fists are not enough, then hold them together to make your fists bigger.
At that time, the Ten Thousand Years Consortium truly became a huge hidden danger. The power of the country will succumb to this capital consortium. This is something that can be seen with a slightly longer-term perspective.
Li Zhen couldn't let this happen. There are too many uncontrollable factors. Capitalists will downplay national sentiments in their hearts. As long as they have enough capital, why not pull them out to form a separate country? Who can control it
Li Zhen had a headache thinking about these things and kept rubbing his temples.
If you ask him now, he will not regret it after establishing the Ten Thousand Years Consortium.
Li Zhen definitely doesn't regret it either. Just because, this moment, that moment.
The Ten Thousand Years Consortium was originally established to counter the country, gain the right to speak for itself, and prevent the country from going astray.
But sometimes you have to admit it.
When the birds are gone, the good bow is hidden. The cunning rabbit dies and the lackey is cooked. This sentence is not cruel and cold-blooded. At this point in the development of the situation, you have to do it even if you don’t want to.
Jia Liping and Li Zhen were relatively speechless in the office. Can Jia Liping see through what happened behind this? He could see through it, but he couldn't do anything.
Jia Liping added: "Master Li, if you really want to touch the Ten Thousand Years Consortium, I suggest you don't push them too hard."
"Oh? Is there anything else I don't know about during the interview?" Li Zhen looked at Jia Liping seriously.
Jia Liping sighed: "I don't know if it's an angry comment. But this is a wake-up call."
"You said it. Don't worry."
"At the end of the meeting, Ma Fei said to Du Taiping: You'd better not think about this matter anymore. The Ten Thousand Years staff is full and there will be no more recruitment. Don't think that you can control us just because you are the emperor. , It’s urgent, there are many people below who are concerned about your position. The emperor should be a good emperor and deal with people’s livelihood, and don’t always want to exploit us. If the emperor can’t do it this time, then change someone.”
Li Zhen's pupils shrank when he heard this: "Did Ma Fei say this?"
"Yeah. I didn't want to tell you at first, but Mr. Ma was also anxious at the time..."
Li Zhen waved his hand: "Forget it. You go down."
After Jia Liping left, Li Zhen had a cold look in his eyes.
Ma Fei’s words indeed sounded the alarm and were also a sign that capital would show its fangs.
Having said so much, there is actually only one thing Ma Fei wants to emphasize: If you dare to take the idea of the Ten Thousand Years Consortium, I can defeat you, the emperor.
Is Ma Fei bragging? Certainly not.
Ma Fei alone doesn't have that ability, but if those seven people stick together, Du Taiping is nothing. The emperor is a fart.
Now the entire New Kyushu and eight states have to rely on Dongzhou to support themselves. Dongzhou is so rich that you can imagine that a country relies on this state to support itself.
But Dongzhou is controlled by capital. The seven leaders of the Ten Thousand Years Consortium dominate the basic industries at key nodes in various industries in Dongzhou.
If seven people are pushed into a hurry, they will really stick together regardless of the consequences. All factories in Dongzhou have to stop working, and everyone is on holiday. Dongzhou was about to lose his ability on the spot.
It's not a big deal if Dongzhou can't play well. Other businessmen will spring up.
But if Dongzhou stops for one day, everything in the other eight states will have to stop.
It was the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, and money was used everywhere. It is basically impossible for Dongzhou to replace the Ten Thousand Years Consortium. Even if Li Zhen personally comes forward to form a new one, it will not be possible in time.
If Dongzhou is completely stopped for more than three days, complaints will spread throughout New Kyushu. Du Taiping had to be voted out by the committee immediately.
It's not a joke to say that I knocked him down.
It would be easier if Xun Shifei was there to do some tricks.
