Rebirth: My 80s

Chapter 1187 Reasonable and well-founded
The efficiency of the special department is really amazing. When Director Gong came to the room again, he told Li Jiankun that he had found the two masterminds who instigated a group of people to block the door.

Hearing the names of the old man surnamed Feng and Wang Guozhen, Li Jiankun thought to himself, why am I not surprised at all?

Director Gong asked: "You have already brought the two people here. You said you want to settle accounts with them. What are you going to do?"

He hesitated and said, "Although they instigated the riot, they did not cause any substantial damage. Of course, I also understand that their actions caused some mental harm to you and your family. It's like two people who don't get along. No matter how much they riot, they don't fight. In this case, the judicial authorities mainly use persuasion, and it's difficult to impose... very severe punishment."

Li Jiankun finished his meditation and realized that he was worried that he would make some excessive demands. He said slowly, "My request is very simple. I want the two of them to apologize to me and my family publicly in the newspaper. Isn't that too much?"

"This……"

Director Gong hesitated for a moment, nodded and said, "Not too much."

Although the old man surnamed Feng and Wang Guozhen are both well-known figures, frequent guests in the media, and attach great importance to their reputation, we do not need to worry about their reputation because of this. A prince broke the law and is guilty of the same crime as a commoner. Even if this matter does not constitute criminal liability, he still has to bear civil liability. If they are treated as just ordinary citizens, instructing a group of people to block someone's door, thinking that they are right, and finally finding out that they are not right at all, shouldn't they apologize?
At the last minute, Director Gong persuaded him with a wry smile, saying that he could get out of bed and that people from the Second Ring Road should be arriving soon.

In another room in the Haidian office.

Director Gong pushed the door open and saw the worried-looking Wang Guozhen and the old man named Feng, who at least appeared to have regained his composure.

No one knows who sold them out, and they have no intention of pursuing the matter later. In ancient times, the titles of the people who brought them here would have been preceded by the word "Da Nei". If anyone is caught and questioned, no one dares to take it lightly.

Poor Wang Guozhen was about to run out of Haidian when he was stopped halfway.

Director Gong did not sit down either. He glanced at the two people sitting on the red lacquered wooden sofa and said, "I just went to see Li Jiankun. He was naturally very angry, but he is a prime minister and doesn't care too much. All you need is an apology."

Wang Guozhen secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

The old man surnamed Feng's tightly pursed lips opened and closed slightly.

Director Gong added: "Publish it in the newspaper and apologize publicly."

Wang Guozhen: “Ah?”

The old man surnamed Feng raised his eyebrows.

Director Gong looked at the two people's faces one by one, and finally fixed his eyes on Wang Guozhen who asked the question. He said with a serious expression: "Looking at it now, what Li Jiankun said is not only not problematic, but also has some meaning of warning. You took it for granted that his words were problematic and gathered a group of people to block the door, which scared the Li family, especially the women. I just asked you to apologize. What's the problem?"

Wang Guozhen's expression was uncertain and he made a public apology in the newspaper. Didn't the whole world know about this?

Is it easy for him to gain some fame?
Many things are different now and then. At that time, he did not think there was anything wrong with attacking Li Jiankun. Besides, there were more than hundreds of millions of people who had such ideas in the country. Now the Soviet Union's coup has proved Li Jiankun's treasonous words to a certain extent. It is not without purpose. Looking back, gathering a crowd to block someone's door is really not something that intellectuals should do.

If this matter is exposed, it will have a huge impact on your reputation.

Reputation is what he values ​​most, and it can even be said to be the basis for his survival. The greater his reputation, the more popular his poetry collections will be. Currently, no one in the country earns as much in royalties as he does.

Wang Guozhen said in a deep voice: "We can apologize, but we can't apologize publicly. I think even if we are wrong, we shouldn't be punished so severely. First of all, Mr. Feng and I were invited to take charge of the matter. We didn't form this temporary group. In the end, we are also victims. Secondly, no one took action. Oh, I stood outside your door for two days, and you want me to apologize in the newspaper. It's a bit exaggerated. I would rather accept the punishment from the government, whether it's writing a guarantee or being locked up for a few days. It's all fine."

Director Gong said calmly, "Okay, the mistakes you made are indeed enough to warrant a prison education. We'll see how the institute punishes you according to the rules and regulations. How many days? I don't think so. Oh, by the way, do you think you won't have to appear in the newspapers? You want to keep a low profile, will Li Jiankun let you keep a low profile?"

Wang Guozhen's face turned ugly.

Director Gong then looked at the old man surnamed Feng and asked, "What about you? What do you say?"

The old man surnamed Feng asked back, "What have I done wrong?"

Director Gong opened his eyes wide and said, "Well, Wang Guozhen was at least willing to apologize in private, but you, on the other hand, don't even admit that you were wrong."

"Did I not explain clearly enough just now?" Director Gong was speechless.

The old man surnamed Feng put his hands on the dragon-headed cane, propped it in front of him, and sat upright on the sofa. He said solemnly, "Come, let's go back a few days to the Yanyuan Auditorium incident. Were we the only ones who thought that Li Jiankun's words were problematic? How many people in the country didn't think so? There were many people in the newspapers who said good things about him before, but they all disappeared at once. Aren't you the same? Otherwise, why would you come down to take him away?"

Director Gong was speechless again, but the difference was that this time he had nothing to say.

The old man surnamed Feng continued, "Besides, even you thought that Li Jiankun had a big problem at that time, so it was completely reasonable for us to oppose him. We were not the only ones blocking the Li family's gate. We were so angry that we couldn't hold it back. Why were we so angry? It's because we love this country so deeply that we can't tolerate anyone saying anything bad about it. If this is also a crime, I am willing to accept the most cruel punishment. Apologizing is nothing."

Director Gong was definitely not a mediocre person as he was able to hold a position like the Grand Chamberlain, but he was still embarrassed by the criticism.

This shows that the old man surnamed Feng has profound skills in carrying the pole.

Wang Guozhen, who had been depressed just now, was overjoyed and agreed repeatedly, "Yes, Mr. Feng is right. Our actions were entirely out of our patriotic enthusiasm. If this is wrong, count me in. I am willing to accept any punishment!"

Director Gong looked at their righteous expressions and was overwhelmed. Of course, he couldn't say that there was anything wrong with being patriotic.

At this moment, there was a noise at the door. The people who came over from the Second Ring Road arrived and were taken out by Director Gong's men.

The leader was a man in his fifties with gray hair on his temples. He looked into the room and asked, "Xiao Gong, where are the people?"

Director Gong walked up quickly and said that Li Jiankun was in another room and would take them there right away, but then hesitated and said there was a little trouble.

After the man with gray hair on his temples asked, Director Gong told the story slowly, pointing to the old man named Feng and Wang Guozhen in the room.

After hearing this, the man scolded, "Gathering a crowd to cause trouble, isn't that serious? If I give you more power, there will be more people gathering. Where can you not block the place? You won't even apologize when they ask you to. Lock them up! Lock them all up. Don't let them go without my permission!"

blind!
Wang Guozhen, who had already stood up from the wooden sofa, looked pale. He had often seen this man in the news, but this was the first time he had seen him alive.

The old argumentative old man named Feng finally met a ruthless person. It was as if he had encountered his natural enemy and he dared not say a word.

A person's reputation is like a tree's shadow. This person is known for his vigorous and resolute actions. Director Gong no longer paid attention to the two of them and walked away quickly with the people who came from the Second Ring Road.

For the people who rushed over, or for this country, nothing was more important than the situation in the Soviet Union. The news came so suddenly that even they broke out in a cold sweat. It happened that there was a person who had just returned from the Soviet Union and was likely to have foreseen the incident in advance.

What is in this person's mind is absolutely priceless at the moment.

A little bit of advice might go a long way in avoiding a national disaster.

The few people did not rush into the room directly, but knocked on the door patiently. The door was opened from the inside. Li Jiankun had already put on his clothes and the green military blanket on the sofa was neatly folded.

They were all prominent figures, and one of them, Li Jiankun, was the second time I met him.

The two held hands, and the man with graying temples said with emotion: "I regret not reaching a consensus in Shanghai that year. If I had listened to your advice and stopped the price breakthrough in time, perhaps there would not have been this late spring cold snap."

Li Jiankun smiled slightly and decided not to talk about the past.

The man added: "Not this time. I am capable of doing more. Facts have proven many times that you are an extremely smart and visionary young man. My country is lucky to have you."

This evaluation is quite high, especially coming from him.

Read the error-free version at 69shuba! 6=9+shu_ba is the first to publish this novel.

Li Jiankun felt warm in his heart and invited them to sit down.

Before the two sides started talking, seeing Li Jiankun's gaze coming over, Director Gong hurriedly said, "No problem, don't worry."

Even if Wang Guozhen and the old stubborn man surnamed Feng had ten times the courage, they would not dare to disobey him.

The man with gray hair on his temples was too lazy to care about this matter anymore. He stared at Li Jiankun and said, "News came from the Soviet Union. We have a general understanding of what you have been doing in the Soviet Union for nearly a year. It is said that you are very close to the Soviet high-level officials. Is it because of this that you foresaw that a major change would happen in the Soviet Union in advance, and then said that in the Yanyuan Auditorium?"

Li Jiankun nodded.

The man with graying temples asked, "Do you have any other predictions? How do you think the Soviet coup will develop next?"

Li Jiankun waved his hands and said, "The coup is not the point. Based on my understanding of the Soviet Union, the conservatives are in decline and unpopular. They can't cause any big waves. The coup should be quelled soon. However, this incident will become a fuse. The core team of the Soviet Union is in chaos. It is impossible for something big not to happen."

In the previous life, this coup lasted only one day.

In this life, even though history happened a year earlier than he had in his previous life, the situation was different. For example, Ye's status was not as high as in his previous life, but he had made up for it and reminded Ye.

If his guess is correct, Ye will take this opportunity to become the number one person in Russia.

So history will continue to develop much the same as in the previous life.

The man with graying temples nodded and said, "Your speculation makes sense. Something big will definitely happen later. We discussed it before and on the way here. But we are not sure how this coup will end. You know more about the situation in the Soviet Union than we do."

If the Soviet coup was indeed quickly quelled next.

Then Li Jiankun’s words are more credible, we must take them seriously, and make preparations early as he says.

The man continued, "What major events do you think will happen? Have you ever thought about what the final outcome will be?"

Li Jiankun said word by word: "The Soviet Union collapsed."

Hey!
Everyone in the audience was shocked. Although they may have thought of this possibility, they were still extremely shocked to hear it said by someone who "knows the business", and the worry between their brows became even more intense.

Putting aside other things, the collapse of the world's largest social society is bad news for any other social society.

A helpless matter.

Fortunately, they may have seen through this trend in advance and had some time to prepare.

The man with graying temples said solemnly, "Can you tell me the reason for your speculation? I may have never met anyone smarter than you in my life. You know the impact that the words 'disintegration of the Soviet Union' may have on our country. I don't need you to tell me that we must carefully weigh the possibility of this happening and make arrangements in advance to avoid possible turmoil."

Li Jiankun blushed a little, and after a wry smile, he became serious and said slowly: "My speculation is mainly based on three aspects."

"First, as I just said, this coup will be the fuse. All the top leaders of the Soviet Union will be involved in it. It will be a mess. It will be difficult for them to unite again, even to pretend to be together. So separation seems to be an inevitable outcome."

"The second is the economic problem. The Soviet economy has actually collapsed..."

The man with graying temples interrupted him and said, "Then why did you go to the Soviet Union to do business? What puzzles me is that you predicted that something big would happen in the Soviet Union, but you didn't withdraw from your business."

Li Jiankun looked at him deeply and said, "Others may not understand, but you still don't understand. There are two kinds of money that are easiest to make. One is in a prosperous era, and the other is in a chaotic era. But I can tell you that I am not going to make money from the Soviet Union's national disaster. My target is the Western capital consortium. I believe you also know some things about Southeast Asia."

The man sighed and said, "I heard that there are quite a few Western bankers in the Soviet Union now. They are indeed good at making this kind of money. Go on."

Li Jiankun went on to the second topic, saying: "The economy is the lifeblood of the country, and a considerable number of people are making every effort to promote comprehensive Westernization reforms. This brings us to the third point, the intensification of ideological and social contradictions."

"So yes, based on these three aspects of analysis, I personally believe that the collapse of the Soviet Union is a foregone conclusion."

The man with gray hair on his temples murmured, "Very profound. Your speculation is well-founded."

He looked out the window at the cold white sky and said quietly, "It looks like the weather is really going to change."
