75: Chapter 75 Laying Out a Business Strategy

As the saying goes, "The economic base determines the superstructure." In this era where GDP is the standard for success, the power to mobilize billions or even tens of billions in investment with a single phone call is far more persuasive than empty talk about ideals.

And Third Young Master and the other two were to be Li Dakang's most reliable economic backing in his future political career.

"Since no one has any objections."

Li Dakang sat up straight, his voice becoming steady and powerful: "Then I will explain the specific plan."

Over the next two hours, Li Dakang detailed his commercial blueprint.

From the impending communication revolution, to the golden decade of real estate, to the infinite possibilities of the future internet economy...

His analysis was incisive, leaving the three of them dumbfounded.

"Third Young Master, did you go to Harvard for further studies in the last six months?" Third Young Master asked half-jokingly, his eyes full of admiration.

Li Dakang smiled without answering; relying on his experience from his past life, he knew the economic trends of the next twenty years better than anyone.

This prescient information was his most precious wealth.

After a heated discussion, the four decided to establish "Kangfei Group," symbolizing Li Dakang's political career taking flight.

The initial plan involved multiple fields such as communication, real estate, and finance, with the first phase of funding to be handled by Li Dakang through the channels of his aunt, Zhou Qian.

Time spent together is always fleeting.

In the blink of an eye, most of the Spring Festival holiday had passed.

These past few days, Li Dakang had been so busy he barely had time to touch the ground, spending his days either visiting relatives or on the way to visit them.

If it were before, he would have found such socializing extremely annoying.

But now that he had embarked on a political career, these interpersonal exchanges had become a compulsory course.

On the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, Li Dakang specifically went to the Zhou family home to pay a New Year's call.

As the home of Li Dakang's maternal grandfather, the Zhou family occupied an important position in his future political planning.

Old Master Zhou had a long talk with him, feeling both surprised and gratified by the changes in his grandson.

"Dakang, it seems that the grassroots level really does temper people."

Old Master Zhou stroked his gray beard, his eyes flashing with wisdom: "I am considering letting other younger members of the Zhou family go down to gain experience as well."

Li Dakang smiled modestly, though he understood in his heart: his performance had already attracted the attention of the Zhou family.

This attention would be transformed into tangible political resources in the future.

It is worth mentioning that Li Dakang's older brother, Li Daping, would also be sent down for training after the Spring Festival, with his destination being a county in Shan Province, where he would serve as the County Party Secretary.

Shan Province was the Li family's base, and the current Provincial Party Secretary was a direct descendant of the Li family.

Such an arrangement showed the Li family's careful cultivation of this heir, Li Daping.

In comparison, Li Dakang's situation was much more difficult.

Without the tilt of family resources, every step had to be fought for on his own. But it was precisely this adversity that sparked his stronger fighting spirit.

On the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, Li Dakang returned to Jiang Province early.

Although the Township Government would not officially start work until the eighth, he had to seize the time to visit several key figures.

The first stop was naturally to visit the Secretary of the Provincial Political and Legal Affairs Commission, Secretary Gao Yuliang.

As Li Dakang's biggest backer in Jiang Province, this relationship had to be well maintained.

Secretary Gao Yuliang was very satisfied with Li Dakang's proactive visit, and the two talked happily.

The second stop was the home of Guo Mingxian.

Unfortunately, Municipal Party Secretary Guo Zhenhua was busy with official business and could not be met.

However, the dinner with Guo Yue's family also made their relationship more intimate.

On the seventh day of the Lunar New Year, Li Dakang specifically visited Vice Governor Cao Jianhui.

The few million that Vice Governor Cao Jianhui approved during the road construction last time played a key role in the development of Guantian Township.

More importantly, Li Dakang had his eye on Vice Governor Cao Jianhui's political potential and wanted to introduce him into the Li family's circle.

"Dakang, how was the situation when you went back home this time?"

Vice Governor Cao Jianhui asked kindly, personally pouring a cup of tea for Li Dakang.

"Thanks to your blessing, Uncle Cao, everything went smoothly." Li Dakang replied respectfully.

"My father specifically instructed me to ask you to sit with him when you go to the capital next time."

Vice Governor Cao Jianhui heard this, and a flash of surprise crossed his eyes: "Did Director Li really say that?"

"Absolutely true."

Li Dakang took a gold-stamped business card from his pocket: "This is my father's private number; you can contact him directly when you go."

Vice Governor Cao Jianhui took the business card with both hands and carefully put it into his suit inner pocket.

This detail convinced Li Dakang that the Vice Governor was already tempted.

Leaving Vice Governor Cao Jianhui's house, Li Dakang rushed to Xinying City without stopping.

After a short stay at the home of Municipal Party Secretary Guo Zhenhua, he rushed back to Anjiang County to visit County Party Secretary Yuan Kai.

By the time he finally returned to Guantian Township, it was late at night on the seventh day.

The Township Government compound was quiet, with only the light in the duty room still on.

Li Dakang stood by the dormitory window, looking at the silhouettes of the undulating mountains in the distance, and let out a long sigh of relief.

This week of rushing about, although physically exhausting, had been very fruitful.

From the families in the capital to local officials, a huge network of connections was slowly being woven in his hands.

Work would officially start tomorrow, and new challenges were about to begin.

But Li Dakang knew that he had already taken a solid first step on this political path.
