Regardless of whether it is Li Xianlong or anyone else, they all use Blue Star thinking to think about Zheng Li's style of doing things.
It's a pity that the opponent they met was Zheng Li, who didn't play by common sense at all.
"Now we will consider the last item, regarding..."
Wang Ruijie's inner displeasure in the audience has reached its limit.
The most uncomfortable thing in the world is when you know that you are about to take over, but after waiting for more than ten years, you are told that someone will be replaced.
This is how Wang Ruijie really feels now.
The Lion City seems to the outside world to be the sole proprietor of the Lee family. In fact, between the elder Lee and the younger Lee, there is another prime minister of the Lion City - Goh Chok Tong.
It's just that compared to Big Lee and Little Lee, Goh Chok Tong's presence is relatively weak. When he was there, he purely built bridges and paved the way for Little Lee.
Goh Chok Tong is also quite interesting. His father died when he was young, and he grew up in a HDB flat with his mother and four brothers and sisters.
HDB is also the affordable housing in the Lion City.
Later, I relied entirely on scholarships from the Lion City government to complete my studies.
A large part of the reason why Lao Li chose Goh Chok Tong as his successor was because Goh Chok Tong was a technocrat with limited ambitions.
At the same time, he was born in poverty and had limited family strength, so he could hardly make any trouble.
Lao Li's retirement at that time was not a total resignation. He later became the cabinet minister of the Lion City.
Lao Li's most unique move was to persuade all the old people to retreat while passing the position to Goh Chok Tong.
The youngest member of Lao Li's management team was only in his early fifties, and he was directly persuaded to quit.
As for whether it is a real persuasion to resign or a fake persuasion to resign, it is open to debate. Anyway, "Tough Mission: The Biography of Goh Chok Tong" talks about persuading him to resign.
As a result, Goh Chok Tong went into battle lightly, Lao Li served as cabinet minister, and Lao Li's potential power persuaded all those who threatened to quit, allowing Xiao Li to successfully take over in 2004.
And Heng Swee Keat plays exactly this role. He became Lee Hsien Loong's assistant in 2018, that is, the first assistant secretary-general and deputy prime minister of the Lion City. It has been thirteen years today.
He has long been regarded as the next successor to the Lion City.
Of course, he is also a transitional role paving the way for Li Hongyi.
Heng Swee Keat's background is almost the same as Goh Chok Tong's. He also grew up in a HDB housing estate. His family raised chickens and pigs as a farmer. He went to Cambridge to study abroad on a scholarship provided by the Lion City.
After returning from studying abroad, he served as Lao Li's personal secretary.
Regardless of his upbringing or work history, Heng Swee Keat plays the same role as Goh Chok Tong. He plays a transitional role, making the public's perception of Li Jiacheng less strong.
But a transitional role is also a role, and it is much better than suddenly airborne and taking the position for him now.
How can there be a fifty-year-old prince in the world?
It stands to reason that he has been the prince for thirteen years, and Li Xianlong is already eighty years old, so he will be able to take over soon.
In fact, he is only a little over ten years younger than Lee Hsien Loong, which is almost five years.
At least it's better than never being one.
Ten years ago, Heng Swee Keat took a step to retreat in order to advance. He declared that he did not want to take over, but he would not retreat from his current position.
Taking advantage of the fact that Lee Hsien Loong was besieged by his brothers and sisters on social media and in court, he used retreat to advance and allowed Lee Hsien Loong to further acknowledge his identity in public.
It's not a fuel-efficient lamp either.
Zheng Li's parachute dashed all hopes.
You can't expect to outlast a mage.
I still don’t know which planet the mage came from.
"I now announce that Merlin will be the secretary-general of the People's Action Party."
There was warm applause and cheers from everyone here, especially when Zheng Li appeared out of thin air in the conference hall of the Singapore Parliament Building.
Zheng Li used the humanoid image in his own cognition, and the Mage Alliance discovered other civilizations in the universe.
When intelligent life that was similar to Blue Star people in appearance but different from Blue Star people appeared, the congressmen present only applauded politely.
No one wants to get into trouble without knowing how the mage behaves.
“Hello everyone, I am very happy to be the leader of the People’s Action Party in the Lion City. In the future, I will bring new vitality and vitality to the People’s Action Party.
I am a mage, and what mage advocates most is the concept of elite governance. At the same time, I also have my own set of understandings and implementation methods on how to select real elites.
In the future, I will thoroughly implement the predecessors’ concept of elite governance. "
Although the People's Action Party has the word "people", it implements the concept of elite governance.
Why? Because the Lion City was able to develop rapidly from a small place back then, it relied on a service-oriented government.
The trade flow to and from the Straits of Malacca ushered in rapid development only when the Lion City provided good services to these ships.
A good service-oriented government has very high requirements for bureaucrats.
Without elite governance and improving the status of public servants, there is no way to provide good services for trade and investment promotion.
The industrial park in Gusu, China, learned from the experience of the Lion City. Including the new districts that later emerged in various places, the treatment of civil servants was obviously higher than that in the old city.
It's just that China's gameplay is a little different.
The local government in China pays high salaries to public servants in new districts because new districts can earn higher incomes by selling land. The land in the old city has almost been developed, and the income from land sales has been reduced.
If you want to develop the core land in the old city and need to carry out shantytown renovation, it is better to start a new business directly in the name of the new district.
If all industries are relocated, the population will naturally flow to the new area.
At the same time, only large pieces of land in new areas can be fetched at affordable prices.
There are only so many places in the Lion City, so you can’t even do that if you want to.
The land area of the Lion City is about the same as that of Shenhai, but Shenhai basically does not rely on land finance.
Because the land has been developed, there is no open space left to rely on.
"My specific plan will be told to everyone in a subsequent speech to Congress."
Zheng Li naturally knew what Li Xianlong was thinking. Just relying on the control effect of magic, no one here could resist him.
Lee Hsien Loong is thinking of retiring but not completely, becoming the cabinet minister that his father once served, and then using him to ignore specific matters and continue to control most of the power in the Lion City.
What are you thinking about?
This transaction is irreversible the moment you make it public.
Zheng Li is just lawful, which does not mean that he has no temper and ability.
Lee Hsien Loong still takes chances.
Zheng Li deliberately kept Li Xianlong awake and watched helplessly as his party members and authority were wiped out.
Zheng Li is still one step away from taking control of the Lion City, and that is the handover of the leadership position.
Now only the handover within the party has been completed, and the next step is the handover of the leadership.
Media around the world are extremely excited about the dramatic changes in the Lion City.
A mage from an alien civilization became the head of the Blue Star country. This was a historic event.
The impact on geopolitics, the future, and world economic trends alone have been studied by academics for many years and a large number of related academic papers have been produced.
Hua Guo didn’t want to see this scene the last thing.
Originally, the main body controlled by the mage in Blue Star was in China, and the first to enter the water tower was the moon.
The technological dimensionality reduction advantages of Kechuang Biotechnology have brought too many benefits to China.
First of all, Kechuang Biotech alone provides tens of thousands of high-paying jobs, and even more high-paying jobs have been created by companies upstream and downstream of Kechuang Biotech.
At the same time, regarding the ecosystem of brain-computer connected VR, China is the biggest beneficiary of this wave of technological dividends.
There are countless terminal companies, supply chain companies, and software ecosystem companies that have emerged.
The most important thing is the economic confidence it brings. China was not short of money before.
Judging from social financing data and various financial data, China does not lack money, but it lacks confidence. Most people have lost the confidence to start a business.
Funds are idling in the financial sector. If they cannot flow into the real economy, they cannot generate substantial benefits.
The consequences of funds idling in the financial sector are increased entity financing costs, accumulation of credit risks, asset bubbles, etc.
And around the brain-computer connection VR industry, funds have been exported, and hot money is pouring into the VR field.
China's real estate bubble was delayed for many years.
There is even hope for a soft landing.
Now the first to get the moon is near the water, and the water is going to the Lion City.
The only thing that could comfort him was that Zheng Li went to the Lion City as Merlin. At least Zheng Li himself and Kechuang Biotech were still in China.
The bonus is not completely gone yet, but you can still get some bonus.
The media at home and abroad covered it like crazy.
At that time, domestic and foreign media gathered in the Lion City.
“Dear viewers, I am now in front of the Parliament Building in the center of the Lion City, where I am about to pass the resolution on Mr. Lee Hsien Loong’s transfer of the leadership position to Grand Master Merlin.
Since the Action Party is still strong and the workers' party has only 13 directly elected opposition seats, outside observers believe that the opposition party cannot prevent the passage of this resolution.
Moreover, some members of the opposition parties expressed in private that they were happy to see Merlin become the leader of the Lion City and believed that it would be helpful to bring some good changes to the Lion City.
We're about to get the results in an hour.
At the same time, if the bill is passed, Merlin will make his first public speech in front of the Parliament Building after becoming the leader of the Lion City.
At present, we can see that domestic and foreign reporters, including the BBBC, are all gathered here.
Everyone is eagerly waiting for the final result and whether there are any final variables. "
Both Zheng Li and Li Xianlong have a large amount of social resources in their hands and have a certain degree of control over the Lion City.
So there is no reason why an agreement that both parties want to reach should fail.
It's just that after the agreement was reached, the future envisioned by both parties deviated greatly.
Li Wanqing took leave and sat in front of the TV with his wife at home to watch the latest news reports.
In fact, he is not the only one who asked for leave, most people in the Lion City took leave today.
The development of reality makes all people in the Lion City feel magical.
In other words, not only people from the Lion City find it magical, but people from other countries also find it magical.
Netizens in England complained one after another: "Why did our country's great mage go to the Lion City to become the leader?
Number 10 Downing Street needs Merlin! "
Netizens on Amerikan are concerned: "Will magic be popularized in the Lion City in the future, and is it still too late to immigrate to the Lion City now?"
When Zheng Li became the leader of the party, the channel for immigrating to the Lion City was immediately closed, and all applications would not be reopened until this incident.
It’s just that when it reopens, the price of immigration will change.
Li Wanqing had some guesses about Zheng Li's identity. He thought there was some degree of connection between Zheng Li and Mei Lin.
As for Zheng Li being Merlin, he had also guessed, but there was no evidence to confirm it.
This time Li Wanqing wanted to see what Merlin would look like when he came out to give a speech.
There are only three TV stations in the Lion City, MediaCorp, StarHub Vision and Singtel. The first one is free and the latter two are paid.
However, the population of Lion City is not as large as that of Xiangjiang, and three TV stations are barely enough.
"Do you think this substitution will be successful?" the beautiful woman who had been upgraded from Li Wanqing's girlfriend to his wife whispered.
As the R&D director of Sci-Tech Biotechnology in Lion City, Li Wanqing can be considered a successful person. He is just one step away from the upper echelons of Lion City.
It’s just that many people are unable to break through this layer of paper and become the upper class in their lifetime.
What is the definition of upper level? That is, you can pass on most of the social resources to the next generation.
In addition to money that can be passed on to the next generation, Li Wanqing's most valuable social resources are his position and knowledge, which cannot be passed on to the next generation.
Li Wanqing said helplessly: "What are you thinking about?
How could it not pass.
The word Merlin means everything.
Who dares to disagree?
Just wait and see, even the opposition parties will not vote against it.
And for them, Merlin's arrival completely shattered the Li family's control in the Lion City.
Instead, they may have more room for maneuver in the future.
The benefits that Merlin can bring to the Lion City are beyond what the Li family can match. "
The wife asked: "For example?"
Li Wanqing knew that his wife was useless except for her appearance, and she couldn't be described as insensitive to this kind of thing.
Very sluggish.
"For example, if Merlin becomes the leader of the Lion City, Merlin can first build a magic school in the Lion City.
He can use the magic he masters to trade with other countries to gain more benefits.
Other countries will look particularly at the Lion City because of Merlin's existence.
There are many more.
It’s just that I don’t know exactly what he wants to do and what he will do.
The mage became the leader of the Lion City, and he certainly didn't do it just for fun.
It definitely has its own purpose. "
"If Merlin opens a magic academy, do you think I have a chance to go?"
Li Wanqing said tactfully: "It may be a bit difficult.
After all, judging from the way to obtain magi, Merlin's requirements for mages are mainly reflected in IQ.
It is not the so-called IQ measured by traditional test questions.
That kind of IQ is just a very simple test of cognitive ability.
That kind of test just tests your reasoning, logic, abstract thinking and other abilities.
Merlin's requirement for IQ is the ability to solve problems, and the ability to solve world-class problems.
You may be a little off from this requirement.
Of course, I can't satisfy Merlin's request.
But I think if Merlin lowers his requirements, you should be able to do it. "
Li Wanqing secretly thought that he might have to lower the standard below that of ordinary people.
His wife was a little unhappy at first, but then she saw the host's voice on the TV suddenly became louder: "The meeting is over! The meeting is over in less than ten minutes!"
"God's Coming"
