Chapter 374： Lee family

"Mr. Li, thank you very much for your help!"

When John Keswick was sent out of the door by Li Yao and Li Long, Old John stopped and shook hands with Li Yao and his son again, thanking him sincerely.

"Mr. John, you are too polite. It is right to help each other!"

Li Yao smiled and said peacefully.

"Haha!"

Old John laughed and looked at Li Yao, everything is silent.

At their age, everyone is an old fox, and many things don’t need to be so explicit.

And they all understand that, no matter how good it is, it is better to do it well. Whether it is reliable or not depends on whether it can help at a critical time.

During the negotiation, Old John had already agreed to Li Yao's terms, and naturally he would not break his promise. Li Yao was also very relieved.

"It's getting late, Mr. Li, I want to return to Xiangjiang as soon as possible, see you next time!"

"See you next time! Good luck!"

Old John waved goodbye to Li Yao and his son, got in the car and went to the hotel where he was staying.

On the window of a high-rise room of a hotel in the distance, a man opened the curtain by one corner and set up a telescope to watch the scene of Li Yao and his son sending off John Keswick enthusiastically.

After John Keswick left, his face was a bit heavy, he immediately packed the binoculars, and other things, left the hotel, and returned to the company premises.

This person is an employee of the Singapore branch of Jiuding Newspaper. After receiving the task from the head office, he closely followed the whereabouts of Old John. Now he has discovered important news.

The company arranged for many people to follow up, and he was lucky, and he was in charge of this location. As long as he reported the news, the company would definitely not lose his reward!

Let me say that after Li Yao and his son watched Old John leave, the father and son returned to the previous meeting room. After sitting face to face, Li Long poured a cup of hot tea for his father Li Yao and brought it to him respectfully.

"Dad, I didn't expect the Jardine Foundation to be forced to such an extent, that Xia Yu is so powerful?"

Li Long asked in a strange way.

Born into a family like them, Li Long was trained by Li Yaoquan since he was a child, whether it is political or commercial, and even military.

Of course, Li Long knows a lot about the Jardine Consortium of the Far East First Consortium. He has seen a lot of information about the Jardine Consortium in the Singapore Archives.

But it was this one of the largest consortium in the Far East that was forced into such a situation. The old patriarch who retreated behind the scenes actually went out in person, and the purpose turned out to be the shares in the Singapore Temasek Investment Company.

It was Xia Yu, a newly-rising young rich man from Xiangjiang who caused all this.

Thinking of Xia Yu's age, and thinking of his legendary deeds of starting from scratch, Li Long subconsciously compared himself with himself, and couldn't help but smile slightly.

People are more angry than people!

He is at Xia Yu's age, but he is still studying!

Li Yao's eyes were a little blurred, he was silent for a moment, and slowly said: "This Xia Yu is indeed very powerful. Among his peers, there is no one who is better than him, Tianzong wizard!"

"Then father, Jiuding Securities is still negotiating, and we also want to take the stock. We have sold the stock to the Keswick family. Jiuding Securities should fail the action? After all, plus the stock we sold, Kaiser The Ke family has at least 44% of the equity, which is very close to the absolute holding line!"

"Now that we are doing this, it can be said to have broken Jiuding Securities. It will also affect the situation of the entire Heung Kong Chinese and British capital. Will it have any bad effects?"

Li Long thought for a while, then asked suddenly, not without worry.

Singapore is, after all, a country dominated by Chinese. The economy and life are controlled by Chinese capital, and it is closely related to the Chinese family of Hong Kong.

For example, the Guo family, Qiu family, Li family, Huang family and so on in Singapore now have a very close relationship with either the main family or the branch in Xiangjiang.

In addition, Xia Yu's influence in Singapore is also increasing day by day. For example, the two largest newspapers in Singapore were acquired by Jiuding Newspapers. The shares of Jiuding Daily and Fengyun Daily in Singapore are also increasing, as well as their influence. With the growing "Economic Weekly", it can be said that Jiuding Newspaper Company has occupied an absolute monopoly in the Singapore paper media industry and has a strong influence on Singapore's public opinion.

At this juncture that has evolved into a tentative attack by Chinese capital against British capital with Xia Yu as the forward, the Lee family, as Singapore’s overlord, not only did not help Xia Yu, who is also a Chinese, but helped the Keswick family in a disguised form. With Xia Yu's knife, the impact will never be simple.

Even if the Li family is in charge of a country’s government, they still have to take care of certain things.

The concerns of his son Li Long have long been considered by Li Yao.

After Old John called, he immediately sent someone to report all the situation to him. After thinking about it for a long time, he decided to sell the Jardine consortium.

Old John also came prepared. After some negotiations, Li Yao got more things. Cooperation with the Jardine consortium has more advantages than disadvantages, so of course he agreed.

Even if the stock is sold to the Keswick family, it will affect the big Chinese family and Xia Yu in Hong Kong. He doesn't care anymore. The supremacy of interests is the essence of the market, and no one can clearly blame him! Even if you have opinions, you can only hide them in your heart.

If Xia Yu is wise, he can only assume that nothing has happened.

Otherwise, with Xia Yu’s current strength, even if he monopolizes Singapore’s paper media industry, if Li Yao is ruthless regardless of the impact, he can still cause Xia Yu to cause great trouble.

In any case, even if Singapore is a capitalist country, the government is easily constrained by capital, but the Li family still dominates Singapore’s political circles and occupy the commanding heights!

"Don't worry about the good and bad influences. The most important thing is to develop ourselves well. If the Li family is strong and Singapore is strong, it will only have a good effect."

Li Yao said lightly.

Li Long was taken aback After thinking for a moment, he nodded heavily and said: "Dad, I understand!"

Strength is everything, only the weak will consider the influence!

"Well, just understand!"

Li Yao nodded slightly.

"School is about to start, when do you plan to leave?"

The topic came to an end, and Li Yao asked with concern with a kind smile.

"Dad, I am going to leave the day after tomorrow, go some time in advance, and adapt to the environment around the school.

Li Long said softly.

"Well, you have a plan. This study is very important to you. You must study hard. After you return, I will arrange for you to work in the Armed Forces Department. Don't let me down!"

Li Yao exhorted.

"I will not let you down!"

Li Long promised, nodding his head.

This time, Li Long will go to Fort Leavenworth, Kansas, USA, to participate in military courses related to army command and staff.

This is the route that Li Yao planned for him from the beginning, in order to let Li Long improve himself so as to take over his class in the future.

According to the historical process, it is indeed as planned by Li Yao.

After Li Long returned from his studies, he served as Chief of Staff and Director of Joint Operations and Planning of the Singapore Armed Forces. He was promoted to Brigadier General in June 1984. In September of the same year, he resigned from the military and became the Secretary of Defense.

Afterwards, according to the plan, he continued to develop in the political and military sectors until he finally became the third prime minister of Singapore. The Lee family firmly controlled the political, military and business sectors in Singapore.

All of this is inseparable from Li Yao's conspiracy!
