Zheng Qing, Shin Sung-mu, and Choi Zhengyuan left, leaving only Choi Joon-hyuk to accompany Xu Zhixuan. He was the only person that Xu Zhixuan could rely on now. Back then, he was able to firmly suppress the three conglomerates. Choi Joon-hyuk, Li Huanying, and the Dagger Squad were indispensable helpers for Xu Zhixuan.
Choi Joon-hyuk was a little worried and asked, "Brother, isn't it too early to lay our cards on the table?"
"No, it'll be too late if we don't say it now. I believe that Zhiyuan's aunt will become the president. When that time comes, it'll be time for everyone to share the cake. Although I have a good relationship with Zhiyuan's family, don't you know that even a sow can fly if you believe a politician's words?" Xu Zhixuan had actually thought it through carefully. He waited for the three conglomerates to put their chips on the table before saying it out loud. He had already forced them to the point where they couldn't go back on their words, so he wasn't worried about being suppressed by the three conglomerates.
Choi Joon-hyuk obviously knew the attitude of the three conglomerates towards Xu Zhixuan. In the past, Xu Zhixuan didn't have any power. He only had the Antipressure Society and the Dagger Squad as bargaining chips. When the Dagger Squad was disbanded and the Antipressure Society established the Senate, he knew that the three conglomerates had already interfered with Xu Zhixuan's power. Especially during the four years in the army and the six years abroad, Xu Zhixuan's power had been completely swallowed up by the three conglomerates. If it weren't for the fact that Xu Zhixuan still had value that they needed, he would have been kicked out of the group long ago.
"But …"
Xu Zhixuan knew about Choi Joon-hyuk's concerns. However, he was currently hiding in the dark. As long as they did not investigate his influence, they would never touch him. Even if the Park family ascended to the position of president, he believed that between him and the three major conglomerates, the future female president who had experienced several generations of presidents, would make a decision that was in her interest.
"Don't worry, they won't do anything. Don't think I don't know that they were among the people who forced me to leave Korea." No one knew this secret, and he only guessed it based on bits and pieces of words.
Choi Joon-hyuk said in surprise, "No way. What's in it for them?"
"Benefits? Isn't it a benefit to be in charge of the elites of the major universities for the next few decades?! " Xu Zhixuan slammed his fist on the ground angrily. Back then, he had built himself a golden finger, the Antipressure Society. What was his purpose? Don't talk about standing up for the younger generation. That was just his idea when he was a teenager. After he entered university, it was to join the group of elites who joined the Antipressure Society. It was also a very good talent pool. Just like that, it was divided up by the three major conglomerates.
"Don't we still have a few seats in the Senate?"
Xu Zhixuan believed that the loyalty of those who had followed Xu Zhixuan had long been corrupted by money. After all, they were people who would choose. One was a future, and the other was an unknown. Only Choi Joon-hyuk and Li Huanying, who knew Xu Zhixuan's ability, would be so determined to follow Xu Zhixuan's footsteps.
"Them? Hmph! "Xu Zhixuan's tone clearly expressed what he wanted to say.
Choi Joon-hyuk also seemed to know. No wonder after the gathering half a year ago, Xu Zhixuan did not organize another gathering. At first, he thought that Xu Zhixuan was too busy with the filming of the movie. Only now did he understand that those people had been bribed long ago.
"You pulled Xia Bo in for balance?"
Xu Zhixuan nodded and replied, "That's right. Although we haven't seen Xia Bo for ten years, I still pulled him into this body of interests. He's a smart person. He knows who to cooperate with to protect his interests." This was also the reason why Xu Zhixuan pulled Su Xiabo in so carelessly. Although the influence in China was an excuse, it was enough to open the mouths of the three conglomerates.
Xu Zhixuan did not know when he realized that he had changed. He had changed so much that even he was unfamiliar with himself. It should have been during his last year in the special forces. If he didn't change, he would die. If he changed, he could live. For his family, he had to live. For revenge, he had to live.
"But, brother! If that's the case, why did you still join the entertainment industry? You know that the upper echelons of Korea discriminate against people in the entertainment industry. " Choi Joon-hyuk figured out why Xu Zhixuan was so eager to have a showdown with the three parties, but he still did not understand why Xu Zhixuan returned to the entertainment industry.
Xu Zhixuan put away his bitter smile and narrowed his eyes. "I had no choice. Even if I had the power to resist, I was no match for the three parties. What I did was to be the balance between the three parties. If I had directly started a company, joined the military, or entered politics as soon as I returned to China, then it would have been difficult for me to move forward. That's why I chose to become an actor again and let them think that I want to develop in the entertainment industry."
This was also why he still joined YG Company even though he did not lack money. He owed Yang Xianshuo a favor, and he was also afraid of being suppressed by the three parties. However, they seemed to have forgotten that actors could also enter politics. His teacher, Lee Sun-jae, was an example.
"As long as we wait until after the 2012 presidential election, we can ally with the one from the Park family. Then, we can rely on the friendship of sending charcoal in the snow. It's not like we don't have a chance. However, it's all dependent on the one from the Park family. This feeling of relying on others to decide your own fate is really unpleasant."
He would only mention this to Choi Joon-hyuk. He was not afraid that Choi Joon-hyuk would betray him and join the other party. This was because Choi Joon-hyuk was the same as him. Although Choi Joon-hyuk was not a commoner, in the eyes of the conglomerates, his status was not high. Only by following him could he become a new conglomerate in the future.
"How's the thing I asked you to do in secret coming along?"
When Choi Joon-hyuk heard Xu Zhixuan's question, he subconsciously lowered his voice and said, "I've already arranged for it to be done. However, this kind of thing can't be done in public. It can only be done in secret. The progress is a bit slow, but it should be done by 12 years."
"Okay, do this in secret. Don't let anyone find out, especially those three families. Although I'm not afraid that they will come out to stop me, it's better to be safe than sorry. We have to be more careful with every step we take." Xu Zhixuan was very concerned about this matter.
At the same time, Zheng Qing and the other two left and passed on Xu Zhixuan's words to their elders. Xin Dongzhu, who used to admire Xu Zhixuan the most, sighed and said, "At that time, I wanted you to follow in his footsteps. I didn't expect that you would end up with the Zheng and Cui children. Now they are showing their cards. However, it's also our fault in the past. Let's just let this matter go.
Let's talk to him later. "He was very helpless towards his youngest son. With his indecisive personality, he would not be able to achieve great things. Fortunately, his eldest brother was supporting the company. However, since Xu Zhixuan had made his move, they could only passively defend. They could not attack unless they did not want to get information from Xu Zhixuan that could make money.
"But we have already divided up all the forces of his Antipressure Society. Isn't it too late to join forces with him now?"
To Shin Sung-mu, who still did not understand, Xin Dongzhu lectured him, "We are a Chaebol. As long as the president is not someone like Lu Xuanwu, we should not interfere in politics. Those are not things that we can touch!"
"But we have already interfered. We have already given political benefits to that person from the Park family!"
Xin Dongzhu sternly stared at Shin Sung-mu and said, "That's just choosing sides, not interfering!" He was already helpless towards his youngest son's wooden fish brain. Why was he so smart and his eldest brother so outstanding, but his youngest son was so stupid?
This kind of thing happened in the Cui family and the Zheng family. Their elders told them not to take it to heart. Although they all trusted Xu Zhixuan's foresight, the 2012 presidential election was not here yet. Everything was unknown. So, they were still grasshoppers on a rope. It was not time for them to fall out with each other.
