"Feng Mingkun, don't slander me!" Li Zhong's anger flared up. "Li Zhong! Don't think we don't know about the special relationship between you and that young man named Xia Liu." Feng Mingkun also stood up and pointed angrily at Li Zhong. Xia Liu sat quietly in his chair, silently watching everything unfold, not wanting to explain anything. Anyone with eyes could see that Feng Mingkun was supporting Xu Mingliang, showing a definite tendency to award the project to him. "I have a good relationship with Xia Liu, that's a fact, and everyone in the county knows it," Li Zhong readily admitted. "But Xia Liu's achievements speak for themselves. He went back to Osmanthus Village for a few months and changed the whole village, built villas, bought two hotels, and just a few days ago, he spent over two billion to register a company! Tell me! Isn't that ability?" Li Zhong scanned the crowd, passionately recounting all of Xia Liu's accomplishments. "Holy shit! Over two billion to register a company!" "How can he be so insanely good!" "This is terrifying!" Hearing that Xia Liu had registered a company with over two billion, the audience trembled. More than two billion is not a small amount. Given to an ordinary family who saved, it would be impossible to spend in eight lifetimes. "Tsk, tsk, I may not understand his achievements, but I believe everyone else does. If there's ever a shortage in subsidies, wouldn't the project have to stop?" "This..." Li Zhong didn't know how to answer this question. The scope of this project was huge, and it was impossible for the subsidies to be issued all at once. If delayed, more than two billion would indeed not be enough for development. "Regarding this matter, on behalf of Wanqing Group, I declare full support for Osmanthus Group," Mo Wanqing said when Li Zhong was feeling embarrassed. "Wow! The CEO of Wanqing Group is supporting Osmanthus Group!" "If that's the case, then Osmanthus Group will definitely have strong backing." Feng Mingkun glanced at Mo Wanqing. He had been plotting for a long time against this legendary woman of Binlai City but dared not make a move. "Boss Mo, it's undeniable that your group has strength, but Osmanthus Group is too young and lacks stamina. How long can you really support it?" "We are all here, and as the chairperson of Wanqing Group, let me make a statement. Wanqing Group will support Osmanthus Group forever!" Mo Wanqing responded strongly to Feng Mingkun's doubt. "Aunt Qing, do you have to be so assertive? I'm almost moved to tears," Xia Liu said, somewhat distressed. "Heh, as long as it's your business, I'm firmly supportive," Mo Wanqing said with a smile. "Haha! How laughable, a grown man having to rely on a woman's help. If that's the case, even if the project is given to you, I fear it has little future." Xu Mingliang, who was closest, burst into laughter. He had been paying attention to the silent Xia Liu all along. Seeing both Li Zhong and Mo Wanqing speaking up for him, if he didn't assert himself now, he would end up being trampled on. "Haha! A bunch of trash relying on others! I believe this project should be given to me!" Just as Xia Liu was about to respond to Xu Mingliang, a brash voice echoed through the entire theater. Everyone turned to look, and it was Ye Yiming! "I know him! Ye Yiming, the general manager of Ye Group!" "Yeah! I recognize him too! I heard he refused his family's arrangements and started his own company. In just a few years, he made tens of billions!" "Wow! Now that you mention it, I remember that company is very secretive, but its earning ability is definitely top-notch!" Upon hearing Ye Yiming speak, many in the audience began to chatter. "Haha, a bunch of internet water army! If they're so good at making money, it must be because they cut corners. This project is for the welfare of the people; talking about making money, they can take a hike." Cheng Fei finally saw his chance and loudly rebuked. Xu Mingliang was also very displeased; Ye Yiming's words were very straightforward, insinuating that except for him, everyone else relied on their families. Of course, for Xu Mingliang, this was an undeniable reality. "Kid, wait until you have the ability to earn money before you talk," Ye Yiming said arrogantly, looking at Cheng Fei. "You!" Cheng Fei wanted to retort but realized he didn't know much about Ye Yiming and could lose face if he was counterattacked. "It seems every representative here is quite assertive, not bad, but I believe only East Enterprise has the qualifications and strength to develop this project." Feng Mingkun put aside the business with Li Zhong and Xia Liu, as it was now a stage of displaying strength. Continue reading on My Virtual Library Empire "In terms of strength, Wanqing Group and East Enterprise are evenly matched, right?" Mo Wanqing said softly. "President Mo, indeed, they are evenly matched, but I have more than one investor backing me," Xu Mingliang replied with a pleased smile. "Since we're talking about pulling in investors, what if I bring Ye Group into the picture?" Ye Yiming also stood up to declare his position. "Damn! If we compare all three, Ye Group is definitely more than twice as large as the other two!" "Things are getting lively now; let's see who will be chosen." The fierce competition energized many people, wishing they had such strength themselves. "How about this, the bidding for this project will depend on who has the most substantial capital to determine the candidate for the job." Upon Feng Mingkun's suggestion, the whole audience cheered immediately; a showdown between commercial giants was always so thrilling. Now it was time to see who they could all pull up on stage! "County Magistrate Li, what do you think?" "Fine, let's do it your way," Li Zhong was at a loss, Feng Mingkun definitely had ulterior motives for coming, who knew why he had been sent here. "Then I'll start. Besides East Enterprise, I also have the support of two powerful groups, Liuhai Jinyuan Technology and Xinxin Jewelry Group." After getting the confirmation, Xu Mingliang was the first to announce his backup groups. Pulling these companies into the spotlight was mere formality to intimidate; it was all just for show. In terms of developing the Eastern District, subsidies were almost enough. As long as one could take over, it was about making money, and with time being indefinite, it was impossible to estimate how much money could be made; so owing some favors now was no issue. "Young Master Xu, everyone knows how to talk big. So bring something real to the table and call up the representatives of those two companies onto the stage," someone said. "Hehe, I'll call them right now." Hearing Feng Mingkun's reminder, Xu Mingliang immediately picked up his phone to make the call. Before long, two men in their twenties to thirties entered from the doorway and walked up to the stage under everyone's gaze. "Hello everyone, I am Yang Tian from Liuhai Jinyuan Technology." "I am Huang Yilong from Xinxin Jewelry." "I've seen Huang Yilong's picture on a billboard, it's really him!" "I've seen Yang Tian in commercials too!" "They really are the representatives from Jinyuan and Xinxin!" After taking a closer look at the two men, the crowd below cheered immediately. The combined weight of these two enterprises was substantial, and they both had excellent reputations! Xu Mingliang was now sure to win. "Huh, I think I've seen those two before." After glancing at Yang Tian out of boredom, Xia Liu remembered. Wasn't this the guy who pissed his pants in terror on the pirate ship...
