Author: Zero Romance
Of course, Li Nai was not really unaware of this. He had been friends with Haihan's senior management for many years and continued to pay attention to the happenings in Sanya. How could he not know the impact of the regular replacement of executive committee members?
However, it is difficult for him to get access to some levels of information in his capacity. He can only use this method to verify some of his speculations from Malik.
In fact, when Malik participated in the election, the important supporting force behind him was some wealthy families in Guangdong and Guangxi, including of course the Guangzhou Li family.
If the governors of the two major regions can enter the executive committee, it means that local interest groups like the Li family will have greater influence. This alone is worth the money and effort of the Li family to support Malik.
Unfortunately, Malico failed to win the final vote even though he received a lot of local support.
Malico was grateful for the positive performance of the Li family, so he specially arranged for the executive committee to stay at the Li family's manor during their visit to Hong Kong.
Li Nai has a good personal relationship with the senior officials of Haihan, but if he wants to invite the executive committee to his home as a guest, it is not such a big deal.
And Maliko single-handedly gave Li Nai the opportunity to meet the senior officials of the Executive Committee in his own place. In the Ming Dynasty, this was equivalent to inviting the emperor and the entire cabinet to his home. This great honor is also
It can be regarded as a reward for the Li family.
Li Nai continued to ask: "Master Ma, in your opinion, which policy will the Executive Committee prefer next, inward? Or outward?"
Maliko put down the tea cup gently and asked with a smile: "Then which one do you support?"
The development of the Li family is inseparable from the rise of Haihan. Without Haihan's rapid expansion in recent years, the Li family would not have become the richest businessman in Guangdong and Guangxi. Now that the Li family's industries are spread all over the world, the next national policy implemented by Haihan
, naturally became the focus of attention of the Li family.
However, Malik's rhetorical question clearly dug a hole. As smart as Li Nai was, he naturally did not want to take a stand before meeting the executive committee. He immediately responded: "No matter what the final decision of the executive committee is, the Li family will definitely
There is no second intention and we should remain loyal to the Executive Committee as always."
The implication is that he made it clear to Malik that he was not willing to get involved in the political dispute between Haihan executives.
Malico smiled and said: "I understand that you don't want to take sides. But have you ever thought that your Li family supported me in the election before, which is actually a disguised form of taking sides."
"You might as well think again about how the executive committee can reconcile differences."
Li Nai also laughed: "I remember that Mr. Ma's idea was to annex the Ming Dynasty first and then expand externally. But Mr. Ma was not elected to the executive committee in the end. Doesn't this show from the side that in fact, the higher-ups wanted to choose to expand externally?
expansion?"
"As long as people with the same political views are allowed into the executive committee, differences will naturally be resolved."
This is undoubtedly an extremely smart inference, and only people like Li Nai who are well versed in Haihan's power system would have such an idea. However, this kind of words cannot be said casually outside, and Malico is not interested in the interests of the Li family.
Only the bound officials can have a little discussion without worrying about their remarks being spread outside.
Malico put away his smile and said: "Don't say this kind of thing in front of the Executive Committee. The speaker has no intention, but the listener has intention. If these words are misunderstood, it will not be good for your Li family."
Li Nai also nodded seriously and said: "Thank you, Master Ma, for reminding me. I will obey your orders."
Seeing his sincere attitude, Malico continued: "The Executive Committee only stayed here for one night. In fact, we can't talk about much, and even less time is left for you. If you really have any ideas, you might as well follow the Executive Committee
Let’s go north to visit Hangzhou together, and during this period we will slowly find opportunities to discuss with the executive committee.”
Li Nai smiled and said: "I happen to want to go to Hangzhou to see what the new national capital will look like."
Thanks to the strait channel being cleared half a day in advance, the huge fleet from Sanya did not encounter any obstacles when sailing into Causeway Bay.
However, the coast was filled with onlookers, most of whom had seen such a large fleet for the first time.
Due to the large size of the fleet, after entering the strait, they had to be divided into several teams under the instructions of the guiding ship and docked at different docks.
Most of the armed ships undertaking escort missions docked at Kowloon Bay on the other side of the strait. Only the troop transports aboard the Interior Guards docked at the Causeway Bay Pier along with the boats of the Executive Committee members.
In the end, there were only about 20 ships entering the Causeway Bay Pier, but even so, all the berths on the pier were occupied.
Maliko led more than a hundred officials and gentry from Guangdong and Guangxi to welcome the arrival of the Executive Committee on the pier. Outside the pier, there were thousands of people waiting eagerly.
After the members of the Executive Committee disembarked, they exchanged a few words with Maliko and others, then boarded the prepared carriage and headed to "Li Garden". Not to mention that many people watching the excitement on the periphery did not see the appearance of the members of the Executive Committee clearly.
Even the group of people who had been waiting on the pier for almost two hours, most of them just watched from a distance and were not even qualified to come close to talk.
But despite this, the onlookers were still very excited, especially those who were "received" at a close distance on the pier, which now gave them bragging rights.
The Portuguese ship was not allowed to dock until the Executive Committee left the port. By the time Simao and Tomas walked down the gangway to the pier, the onlookers had already dispersed.
However, because of their special status, local officials still came to contact them and asked them if they needed to rest in a hotel near the port.
Thomas said: "We applied to the Executive Committee for a meeting in Sanya. Is there no relevant arrangements for today?"
The official who received them responded expressionlessly: "According to what I know, there should be no such arrangement."
Ximang asked unwillingly: "When the executive committee comes to visit, doesn't the local government hold events such as reception banquets? They should also receive the entourage, right?"
The official responded: "I have no comment on this."
Simang and Thomas exchanged glances, and both could see the disappointment that could not be concealed on each other's faces. They originally expected to meet with the executive committee after arriving in Hong Kong to test the attitude of Haihan senior officials before making any decisions.
Follow-up plans.
But I never thought that I was accompanying them in name, but I left them aside after arriving in Hong Kong. It seemed that I was not prepared to receive them here at all. Even if there was a reception banquet organized by the local government tonight, they were obviously not invited.
.
When the two of them were feeling depressed, Thomas suddenly had a strange smile on his face.
Seeing this, Simang couldn't help but ask: "Can you still laugh?"
Thomas pointed behind Simon and motioned for him to look back.
Simon looked back and couldn't help but smile.
