Chapter 939 Marry me
The Lee family has been able to establish a foothold in the United States as Chinese for six generations and hundreds of years, and has established a great foundation that has been passed down to this day. It even has a decisive power in the entire American political arena. First of all, it is due to the extremely special character of the Lee family. family system.
First of all, the Li family, like other families, is responsible for the family head.
However, the selection of each family is not designated by the previous generation of family heads. The previous generation of family heads can only recommend to the Elders Council, and then the results can be determined through voting by the Elders Council.
The term of the Head of Household is five years.
A maximum of two terms can be re-elected, and direct re-election between father and son is not allowed.
This ensures that the Li family has almost no main line or branch lines, maximizing the use of the talents and potential of each family member.
And after the head of the family retires, he directly enters the Elders' House and has the highest collective power.
In this way, the interests of the family head are guaranteed.
Now the Li family has passed down to the sixth generation, and even the older seventh generation below have begun to enroll. Therefore, the oldest elders in the Presbytery are currently the third generation and some of the fourth generation.
For a family like the Li family, it is a very important event for a family member to formally submit a proposal to the Elders' House.
For the head of the family, this is tantamount to provocation.
"Are you provoking me?" Li Songci's father said coldly.
"You are the head of the family, and you have the power to veto my suggestions, but as a family member, I can also directly submit suggestions to the Elders' Council after your suggestions are vetoed." Li Songci said without giving in.
"But you have to know that once your suggestion is rejected by the Council of Elders, your and even my prestige will be severely damaged!"
"Father, if this is my suggestion and you reject it, then I can only make this choice." Li Songci responded.
This sentence resulted in a long silence on the other end of the phone.
"From the family's standpoint, once we help Li Jin, we are helping Li Jin in disguise to deal with the United States, and our roots are all in the United States. Once we are caught by political opponents, this will put the family into a passive position." Li Songci said My father also tried to persuade me.
"Father, if we don't do this, will our political opponents shake hands with us and make peace?" Li Songci asked.
"Are you so willing to do this for him? Does he know you paid such a high price?" Li Songci's father suddenly asked.
Li Songci calmly replied: "I don't need him to know, I just think this is what I should do."
"In this way, you are really like your mother." Li Songci's father said inexplicably.
"For her sake, I hope you can stand by me this time." Li Songci whispered.
After a longer silence, Li Songci's father said calmly: "Since you said that the family wants to invest in him, then it's good to invest a big sum."
"Tell Li Jin that if he wants the support of the Li family, then after this matter is over, he will come to me in person and propose to you."
These words made Li Songci's expression change slightly.
"Father, you are so messy!"
"Don't you say he is worth investing in? I married my only daughter, the best member of the sixth generation of the Li family, to him. This is a major investment, isn't it?"
"As long as he becomes the son-in-law of my Li family, no one in the United States can touch his cake, including Washington."
"But if he doesn't agree, then there's no need to talk."
"Don't say I won't give him a chance. I've already given him a chance. Whether he seizes it or not depends on his own choice, or your choice."
Li Songci's father's words made Li Songci grit his teeth.
"He already has a fiancée, and Huo Anlan is still eyeing her. What do you want me to do?"
"It is your thing."
Li Songci's father chuckled lightly and said, "As I said, I gave you the chance."
Pursing his lips, Li Songci said nothing.
On the other end of the phone, Li Songci's father said calmly: "Agreing to help him means that the Li family will mobilize family power in Congress in the future to help the Samsung chaebol gain more benefits."
"This is a change in political attitude. It is not a small matter for a political family like ours, so Samsung needs to pay their own price, and Li Jin cannot get the benefits in vain."
"You don't have to say anything, I promise for him." Li Songci suddenly spoke.
Li Songci's father was stunned for a moment, and then said calmly: "Okay."
After saying that, the phone has been hung up.
After standing there for a long time with the hung up phone, Li Songci sighed softly, feeling relaxed and lonely.
She thought for a while and called Li Jin.
"How about it?"
Li Jin didn't expect that Li Songci would get the news so soon, and couldn't help but feel unsure.
After all, it’s easier and easier to say no than to say yes.
"It's settled."
Li Songci's tone was relaxed.
"If I take action, what else can't be done?"
Li Jin was surprised: "Is it that simple?"
"It's that simple."
"So what does it cost me?"
When he asked this question, Li Jin was already prepared to be stabbed.
After all, he didn't think that the Li family, which dominated American politics, would be a good-natured family that was easy to talk to.
"Marry me." Li Songci said casually.
"Don't make fun of me." Li Jin rubbed the bridge of his nose and said with his cell phone: "I'm still waiting for the exact news and will rush to Bangzi Country immediately."
"It's so boring to be seen through by you at a glance."
Li Songci's tone became more and more relaxed.
"You don't need to pay any price. You know, political families value investment, and people like you are obviously in line with the family's long-term interest plan."
"So this time I think it's all about selling you, but the Samsung chaebol still have to pay the price they should have paid. I just used your words to promise them a chance to cooperate."
Li Jin felt relieved. It seemed that he was judging the heart of a gentleman with the heart of a villain.
The Li family is such a good family.
"Okay, convey my gratitude to your family for me. I know how to talk about it." Li Jin said gratefully.
"Okay, okay, you go about your business, I still have a lot of things to do, thank me after you finish them."
The phone hangs up.
Li Jin held the phone and felt inexplicably empty, as if there were some important details that he had overlooked.
But then he shook his head, Li Jin felt that there was no problem with the whole process.
It seemed that there was too much pressure, and the matter itself was surprisingly smooth, which made me worry about gains and losses.
After gathering his mood, Li Jin got up and called Liu Jun.
"Let's go to Bangzi Country together."
