Chapter 482: The Protector
Quan Douguan wanted to laugh when he thought about the current situation.
When he was around, the chaebols were just ATMs, a bunch of rich dogs.
But since he stepped down, the chaebols supported by Park Kaka have experienced their wild growth and have now stretched out their evil hands in all walks of life. The young man in front of him, who has enjoyed a great reputation in recent years, has already begun to target the military.
"How do you think we should cooperate?" Quan Douguang suggested, "They may indeed agree to this kind of military-commercial cooperation. After all, there are many military-industrial enterprises on the Korean Peninsula."
“But they will definitely impose various restrictions to prevent you from becoming a new warlord on the Korean Peninsula.”
"Just let them propose it," Li You said with a smile on his face, "We will limit the number of people and have various safety clauses."
“.”
The two of them talked for quite a while, and finally Quan Douguang nodded solemnly, "I can help you talk to some of the younger generations, but..."
Li You also knew that it was time for Quan Douguang to make a request, so he said jokingly, "General Quan, rest assured, I will not enjoy this honor alone."
Quan Douguan was silent for a moment. He sniffed and felt that this sentence sounded familiar.
"It's not really an honor," he said helplessly, "Besides hoping you can help Qi Tong, there is another important matter."
Quan Douguang waved his hand, motioning Quan Qitong who was standing aside to go out, "You go out and rest first."
Quan Qitong was an old man in his fifties after all, and he didn't want to know anything that would bring him trouble. He stomped his legs and walked out of this small Zen temple.
"Actually, I don't want anything," Quan Douguang sighed, "It's not a secret incident, let him go"
"I just want to maintain some self-respect in front of the younger generation."
He forced a laugh twice, with a hint of loneliness in his voice.
"I was sentenced to death in 1996," Quan Douguang said to himself, "but fortunately many of my juniors have not forgotten my help, and I have received their rewards."
"The Supreme Court also said 'surrendered generals shall not be killed'," Quan Douguang snorted coldly, "It's ridiculous."
The so-called "surrendering generals shall not be put to death". In 1996, the Supreme Court, considering that Quan Douguang had achieved a peaceful transfer of power, quoted the ancient saying "surrendering generals shall not be put to death" and cancelled his death sentence and changed it to life imprisonment.
But now those things are in the past, and what he is thinking about is not these things, but how he wants to spend his later years.
"I'm already an old man who's about to die," Quan Douguang put on his glasses, "I don't want to be constantly liquidated by others anymore."
He sighed, "Nowadays, the political arena, the procuratorate, the Supreme Court, these judicial institutions come to me for trouble every year."
"They investigated me just for playing golf," Quan Douguang said helplessly. "Not only did they target me, they also investigated my family and friends."
He stood up, took off his monk's robe, took a beige suit from the rack next to the tatami and put it on.
"So what I want to ask President Li to do is very simple," Quan Douguang adjusted his clothes, "Don't let them do this again."
"Please, Chairman Li, protect my family in the future, whether in politics or other aspects."
When Quan Douguan said this, he did not include himself, because he knew that the people of the Korean Peninsula always needed a sinner, and he was undoubtedly this person, so he could be criticized.
“If they want to go into politics in the future, they hope that Chairman Lee, who will be more powerful by then, can protect their political path.”
Quan Douguang is old and doesn't care much about his future. However, after seeing what happened to Park Jinshan, he feels that his descendants should not be like this.
Park Jin-sun was a very capable and talented person when she was young, but because of those people's purges of her father, she wasted perhaps twenty years of her political career.
You know, Park Jin-sun is 51 years old now, and she started helping President Park deal with some things in the 1970s. She should have entered politics earlier.
Even President Park's daughter was treated like this, not to mention his own people.
Quan Douguan himself was well aware of how bad his reputation was, and that this would affect his descendants.
From the current perspective, the young man sitting in front of him with a calm expression is undoubtedly a protective umbrella like a towering tree.
Quan Douguang sighed softly, "If they themselves made a mistake that President Li couldn't tolerate, it was their fault."
"I just want to use President Li to protect the hope that may appear in the family."
Quan Douguan looked like a powerful hero in his twilight years, arranging his affairs after his death.
Li You didn't expect his request to be so simple.
Li You is very clear that he will become more and more powerful, and he has even thought about the next two presidents.
Quan Douguan's family was not afraid of death threats because there were so many people in the army who had received his kindness.
But what they, or Quan Douguang, feared was that the future of their family would be ruined.
Li You nodded gently, "Since this is General Quan's request..."
“I think it makes sense.”
"I am ashamed," Quan Douguang sighed softly, "I am using a few small connections to exchange for President Li's future protection."
Quan Douguan opened the door himself, and the two walked out of the meditation room side by side.
The waterfall outside was still roaring down, and water droplets kept splashing onto the ground around the pond.
"President Li," Quan Douguang made an inviting gesture, "Shall we go out together?"
After returning from Hapcheon County, Li You continued to work.
As for Quan Douguang’s affairs, it will take some time.
Quan Douguan certainly didn't dare to contact those younger generations in the army openly, as that would harm himself and his younger generations as well.
He needs to do it slowly, one by one.
There was a knock on the door, and Ding Qing rushed in, "Something happened with the smuggling department, and I need you to make a decision."
Ding Qing, who is responsible for various tasks in Kinmen Trade, now has a lot of white hair on his head.
He turned on his future phone and showed a video to Li You.
Above is a US official holding a press conference.
That's right.
Li You frowned, "Mad cow disease?"
"That's right," Ding Qing sighed, "This is U.S. Secretary of Agriculture Weir. He held a press conference this morning and said that contagious mad cow disease was found on a farm in a state."
"This mad cow disease will spread on a large scale," Ding Qing said seriously. "In the UK, by the year 2000, 170,000 cows in more than 34,000 ranches had been infected with mad cow disease."
He opened another video.
"This is the director of the Washington State Agriculture Department," Ding Qing also frowned, "He said that this beef with mad cow disease may have entered the market and been eaten by people."
"People who eat beef or spinal cord contaminated with mad cow disease risk contracting a fatal disease that begins with dysphoria and ends with insanity and death."
"The bulk of our smuggling is American beef."
Li You thought about it for a few seconds and said, "Then we will stop the smuggling of beef first, and continue with everything else as usual."
