Chapter 20: The strength of the Ye family
Our Ye family, we don't need to stand in line!
Hearing Old Man Ye's words, Ye Kai's heart couldn't help but flutter a few times.
The old man said with pride, but Ye Kai was suspicious in his heart.
Although it is said that Old Man Ye's strength is very strong, it is impossible to compare with the two major forces of reformers and conservatives who are now very noisy and powerful, right?
Seeing the suspicion on his grandson's face, Old Man Ye smiled and said, "There are some things that can't be seen on the surface." ”
Hearing him say this, Ye Kai believed a little in his heart.
Not to mention anything else, the power of the Ye family that has surfaced alone is very shocking.
Needless to say, the old qualified military figures are now focusing on economic construction for decades, and their influence is far-reaching, and the strength of a large number of old subordinates should not be underestimated, while the second old man, Ye Xiangkun, is only 66 years old, and he is the deputy head of the Military Commission, with a high and powerful position.
Ye Zijian, the eldest son of the second generation of the Ye family, is 50 years old, the commander of the Southeast Military Region, with the rank of general.
The second son, Ye Zichu, is 43 years old, chief of staff of the Liaodong Military Region, with the rank of lieutenant general.
As for Ye Kai's father, Ye Ziping, he is only 40 years old this year, and he is already the deputy director of the Propaganda Department.
Ye Ziyu, the daughter of the Ye family, is 40 years old, and Ye Ziping are twin sisters and brothers, vice president of the General Military Hospital, a famous cardio-brain surgery expert, Ye Ziyu's husband Luo Hua, is a financial expert, and a core member of the State Council think tank.
The second daughter Ye Zirong is 38 years old, the current director of the Ministry of Foreign Trade, and Ye Zirong's husband Li Yichen, who was the ambassador to the United States and is now the vice minister of foreign affairs, is also a remarkable figure.
Just the strength shown by these immediate family members of the Ye family is enough to shake the world, not to mention, who can not have a few accumulated friends, relatives and friends, acquaintances, and loyal subordinates?
The Ye family has been standing tall since before the founding of the People's Republic of China, even in the ten years of catastrophe, it has not been affected much, and it is not unrelated to Old Man Ye's steady and low-key life strategy, and it is also related to his old subordinates who are all over the world.
In a decades of political career, how huge will the relationship network run by Old Man Ye and Second Old Man be?
It can be said that the Ye family's strength in both the military and the government is incomparable!
Ye Kai suddenly thought about it, and he was also a little shocked, he really didn't know, he was shocked, just as the old man Ye said, the Ye family doesn't need to stand in line, and if they want to stand in line, others choose the Ye family's team to stand.
"I'm dizzy, it turns out that our Ye family is the number one family......" Ye Kai touched his chin and said.
It's no wonder that the reason why Ye Kai miscalculated the strength of his family is that in his memory, he has never done anything worth boasting about, so the third generation of the Ye family naturally withered.
It is inevitable that any political family that has no successor will not be able to continue its glory.
Therefore, many of the family's resources and insider information are naturally not clear to Ye Kai.
In the past, Ye Kai always felt that only the family that became the No. 1 leader could be called the first family, but after thinking about it carefully, there was something wrong.
The introduction of each session of the Nine Giants is the final result of the game of countless interest groups behind it, even if they ascend to the supreme position, they only have the greatest voice among the Standing Committee, and it cannot be said that they are covering the sky with one hand.
On the contrary, it is those huge power groups hidden under the water that are the behemoths that can control everything, the real family clans, their power can affect the national economy and people's livelihood, and the direction of policies, just like the existence of the old Ye family.
After an in-depth exchange with his grandson, it seems that Mr. Ye is still quite satisfied with Ye Kai, after all, he is only a senior in high school, at such an age, whose children dare to speculate on international oil futures? Even if you have this thought, you will be taught a lesson by the family, right?
But the grandson of my old Ye family has this courage! Not only did I think about it, but I did it!
As for whether this can be done in the end, although it is difficult for Old Man Ye to assert, he knows that Ye Kai will not lose his blood at least if he makes a move this time, and he will be able to make a small surplus no matter how he says.
Because of Ye Kai's analysis, it really impressed Old Man Ye.
"Let's have dinner later, an old friend is coming, you can see it too." Old Man Ye said suddenly.
"Okay." Ye Kai nodded in response, but he didn't ask, who is coming?
After Mr. Ye finished speaking, he sat in the sofa and continued to put on reading glasses to read the newspaper.
Ye Kai didn't say anything, he refilled a cup of tea for the old man first, found a newspaper himself, and sat there to read it.
After about ten minutes, Old Man Ye suddenly asked, "Don't you ask, who is here?" ”
"If you come here, you won't know, and you're not looking for me anyway." Ye Kai replied indifferently.
"Hey, that makes sense." Old Man Ye smiled.
In fact, Ye Xingxing also knew that the status of the person who came was definitely not low.
With Old Man Ye's qualifications, the characters who can be called his old friends can be counted on one hand.
Ye Kai estimated that it was either Comrade Fang He, the supreme leader who had retired, or Comrade Chu Feng, who played a pivotal role in the Central Advisory Committee, even if it was Comrade Jiang Cheng, the current No. 1 leader, his qualifications were much inferior to Old Man Ye, and he was not at the same level.
If you talk about it carefully, Comrade Jiang Cheng should belong to Old Man Ye and their next generation.
Judging from the current situation, Comrade Chu Feng has the upper hand for the time being, and the conservative forces have risen sharply, so naturally there is not much time to catch up with Old Man Ye, so most of the people who came to visit this time are Comrade Fang He, whose political reputation has been greatly affected after last year's incident.
Sure enough, about half an hour later, there was a sound of talking outside the courtyard.
"Let's go, come out with me and greet you." Old Man Ye stood up and said to Ye Kai.
Ye Kai jumped up, he could already hear it, the Sichuan sound coming from outside was really Comrade Fang He's unique voice, although he was eighty years old, his voice was still very loud, and there was a unique charm that was easy to infect others.
For Comrade Fang He, Ye Kai has admired him for a long time, and he has seen it for a long time.
The reason for this is naturally because he is young and is not qualified to participate in family affairs, but when he is older, Old Man Ye has passed away, and Comrade Fang He has also passed away, so there is no face-to-face opportunity.
"Ye Laohu, you're fine." Seeing Old Man Ye, Comrade Fang He laughed loudly, and the friendship revealed in his voice was very deep.
"TOEFL, TOEFL, Brother Fang, your body is also very good, this is very good." Old Man Ye arched his hand and greeted Comrade Fang He into the house with a smile.
