Chapter 338 Finally figured out the reason behind it
"Please take a seat, Mr. Peng.
This time I asked you to come here because Mr. Li wants to consult you about something."
MacLehose nodded and directly explained to Peng Dingguo the reason why he asked him to come.
"Yes, Sir."
Although somewhat surprised, Peng Dingguo did not ask any further questions. He saluted Murray MacLehose again before sitting down respectfully.
In fact, Li Shaoan had been observing Peng Dingguo since he came in.
Watching his performance and sensing his inner thoughts, Li Shaoan was sure that he was not a traitor.
He was indeed a loyal henchman of MacLehose.
At this time, Peng Dingguo sat upright with his hands on his knees, his head slightly lowered, staring at Li Shaoan's chin.
Before coming, he still had some doubts in his mind.
Now that he saw Li Shaoan was also in the Governor's Mansion, Peng Dingguo had some vague guesses in his mind.
really.
After hearing Li Shaoan speak, his guess was confirmed.
"Sir Peng, do you know Jin Neng?"
As soon as Li Shaoan opened his mouth, Peng Dingguo immediately perked up, waited respectfully for him to finish his question, and then immediately answered:
"Mr. Li, I know him."
Li Shaoan nodded, motioning for him to continue.
“I dare not hide it from Mr. Li. In fact, I already knew it when my subordinates came into contact with him.
But I believe Mr. Li also knows it.
Although I am the head of the Political Department, there are many people over whom I have no authority. They all report directly to MI5.
They just selectively obey my orders."
Li Shaoan nodded when he heard this. Of course he understood the situation.
Not everyone can reach Hoover's level and have complete control over the entire intelligence department.
Li Shaoan did not ask him why he knew it but did not report it to him, because he was not his subordinate and he had no obligation to do so.
But it's different now.
Peng Dingguo was a smart man. As soon as he entered the door, he understood what was going on. He knew that his boss, Murray MacLehose, had probably cooperated with Li Shaoan.
So he directly entrusted all the internal affairs of the Political Department to Li Shaoan:
"Mr. Li.
I won’t go into detail about the small factions, and I’m sure you’re not interested. I’ll just tell you about the three major factions within the Political Department.
I believe that after listening to this, you will know who contacted Jin Neng. "
Li Shaoan nodded and smiled when he heard this:
"Well, tell me."
“There are now three factions within the Political Department.
They are the Governor's faction led by me, which accounts for 40% of the internal power.
The other two factions:
One is the Labour Representation Council, the sun never sets on it, and the other is the Tory Party.
These two factions each account for 30% of the power.
The people who contacted Jin Neng were from the Labour Representative Committee.”
Having said this, Peng Dingguo paused.
Seeing Li Shaoan still looking at him with a smile, he didn't seem surprised at all.
Seeing this, Peng Dingguo continued:
“As for why they wanted to contact Jin Neng and cause trouble for Mr. Li.
It must be because of your ship order and Lady Margaret."
Li Shaoan remained calm after hearing this, but MacLehose was puzzled and asked directly:
"What does this have to do with Lady Margaret?"
Peng Dingguo respected MacLehose very much. When he heard his question, he explained respectfully:
“I believe the Sir is aware that the Tory Party is currently in a very unfavorable election situation and is expected to lose the general election in February.
Most of Mr. Li’s good friends in Britain are Tories.
Therefore, with Mr. Li's large number of sea-going ship orders, the Tories will be able to maintain their base even if they lose.
This made some members of the Labor Committee dissatisfied with Mr. Li and they wanted to cause him some trouble.
And Lady Margaret.
This is because the Tory Party's poor election prospects have made many of its members very dissatisfied with the party leader, Sir Heath.
Suggestions were made to let him give up his position as party leader.
Lady Margaret will be the new leader of the Tory Party and will continue to lead the Tory Party to compete in the Labour Council."
After hearing this, MacLehose suddenly understood.
Because he knew that one of Li Shaoan’s important connections in the British Empire was Margaret.
Many of Li Shaoan Shipping Company's ocean-going ship orders were handled by Mrs. Margaret, and the two had a very close interest relationship.
"Mr. Li, it seems that this time it's not just the Labor Committee, I think Sir Heath has also acquiesced."
After taking a sip of red wine, Murray MacLehose sighed to Li Shaoan.
Li Shaoan laughed out loud upon hearing this, and teased in front of MacLehose and Peng Dingguo:
“Sometimes I really think you white guys are short-sighted.
You know that my orders have created a lot of jobs for you, but you still dare to trip up an outsider like me.
I really don’t understand what’s going on in your heads.”
Listening to his sarcastic words, both MacLehose and Patten were speechless.
Yes.
Others have brought a large number of orders to the British Empire and provided many jobs. How could the two competing factions think of engaging a big sponsor?
Let alone Li Shaoan.
Murray MacLehose and Patrick Patten, who had been influenced by the Chinese in Hong Kong, could not understand what the people above were thinking.
"Fuck...
No wonder the sun never sets fell so quickly.
With idiots like them on top, it's God's blessing that we can survive until today."
As he thought about it, MacLehose still couldn't figure it out, so he started to greet him with sweet words.
Seeing your boss lose his temper.
Peng Dingguo pretended not to hear anything, with his eyes on his nose and his nose on his heart.
Because he also wanted to greet the congressmen above.
Seeing this, Li Shaoan waved his hand and said with a smile:
"Okay, sir, don't think about it anymore.
They only dare to cause me minor troubles, not bigger ones.
After all, there are still many countries that can build large-tonnage ships, and they dare not really offend me, their big money sponsor.
But Lady Margaret owes me a big favor."
Now that he knew the reason, Li Shaoan was too lazy to think about it anymore.
This time he took note of it.
In a few years, when the British Empire starts a privatization frenzy, they will cry.
When the time comes, Lady Margaret will have to repay the favor she did today.
Since the parties involved had let the matter go, MacLehose did not dwell on the issue any further, but a feeling of sadness lingered in his heart for a long time.
Before he fully sided with Li Shaoan and started cooperating with him, MacLehose still felt a little guilty.
Now he just wanted to say fuck why he just woke up so late.
If they had cooperated with Li Shaoan two years earlier, the family wealth would probably be at least tens of millions, if not 100 million.
The unit is British Pound.
Thinking of this, MacLehose instructed Peng Dingguo:
"Sir Peng.
From now on, you will not only report your work to me, but also to Mr. Li.
Do you get me? "
When Peng Dingguo heard this, he was stunned at first, and then he was overjoyed.
How could he not understand? He couldn't ask for more.
Everyone in Hong Kong knows that Li Shaoan is rich, and a wealthy man with countless amounts of money.
After experiencing a life where he couldn't even afford milk powder, Peng Dingguo swore in his heart that he must make a lot of money.
As for the British Empire, he now wants to say fuck it.
“YES SIR.
Sir, please rest assured that I will faithfully carry out any of your orders."
After saying this, Peng Dingguo stood up, saluted Li Shaoan again, and bowed:
"Mr. Li, please take care of me.
If you have any orders in the future, you can give them to me directly."
When MacLehose saw the irrepressible smile on Peng Dingguo's lips, he could not help but look at Li Shaoan.
After a few seconds, the three of them laughed knowingly.
