Young Master in Flower City

Chapter 650 - 651: Control

Real estate, cosmetics, gemstones... as long as it belongs to finance, it can be auctioned. Of course, the most important thing is the financial conference held every three years, from which a finance chairman will be elected.

This position is a dream come true for financial entrepreneurs. Once elected, the stocks of their own company will skyrocket, not to mention the ability to control various lifelines of the financial sector and unify the financial world.

At this moment, in the front of the Olympic Hall, a U-shaped table hundreds of meters long is set up. Sitting at the table are more than a dozen adjudicators from the financial industry. These people are veteran figures in finance and the authoritative certifiers of this finance chairman.

Who will be elected has now become a hot topic, with everyone discussing, as the position of financial chairman is of extraordinary significance.

"Who do you think will be elected as the finance chairman in this session of the financial conference?" Someone asked at this time, "The previous finance chairman was Murong Yunlong's father, Murong Longyan, but last year, Murong Longyan died suddenly during his 90th birthday banquet!"

"Although Murong Longyan died of old age, Murong Yunlong is more decisive than Murong Longyan. In my opinion, this time the finance chairman's position will continue in the Murong Family!"

"You mean Murong Yunlong has a great chance?"

"What else!" The speaker nodded, "Among the top ten enterprises in Fengzhou City, the Gu Corporation has already gone bankrupt. As for other companies that could compete with Murong Yunlong, it is rumored that several have already bowed down to Murong Yunlong, strongly supporting his ascent to the throne, such as the Jianghai Group, Nanfeng Group, Olympic Sports Group, Hengtian Shares... and so on!"

"So, according to you, this throne surely belongs to Murong Yunlong?"

"Of course!" The person nodded, "Unless..."

"Unless what?"

"Unless Tianyu International steps in, but since Tianyu International rose in the Ancient Martial Realm three years ago, it has never participated in any financial conference. Presumably, this time will be no different!"

"That's true!"

"…"

Inside the hall, people began to speculate that this financial conference is not only a test of resources but also prestige. In everyone's eyes, Murong Yunlong is the inevitable choice. Once elected, the entire financial sector of Fengzhou City will be in Murong Yunlong's hands.

Moreover, the Murong Family has almost controlled major banks, with such strong financial resources, it's unimaginable.

At this moment, dozens of seats in front of the U-shaped table remain empty, indicating that the protagonists of this financial conference have not yet arrived.

"Look, the chairman of Hengtian Shares, Qiu Mochen has arrived, and beside him is the chairman of Jianghai Group, Cui Jianghai!" Someone exclaimed, "And there's the chairman of Olympic Sports Group, Zhang Tianao!"

"He Nanfeng, the chairman of the Nanfeng Group, has also arrived. I didn't expect them to come together. Could it be like the rumors say, that they are jointly supporting Murong Yunlong? If that's true, why hold this financial conference? Just directly announce Murong Yunlong as the financial chairman, wouldn't that be better?"

"What you said makes a lot of sense. I feel there's no need to hold this financial conference at all. At most, it's just a formality!"

"…"

At the moment these company presidents arrived, the whole scene was in an uproar.

Immediately, the chairmen of these four major groups headed towards a row of main seats in front and sat down one after another.

However, they left an empty seat right in the middle of the four, seemingly intentionally. This scene left many people puzzled, wondering if the seat was reserved for Murong Yunlong.

At this moment, many people's hearts were stirred again. If it's really for Murong Yunlong, the rumors must be true. It seems the finance chairman's position surely belongs to Murong Yunlong.

Click, click, click~

At this moment, the cameras in the hands of all the journalists began to flash blinding white lights, clearly taking photos. Then, the media reporters surrounded the chairmen of the four major groups.

"To all the chairmen, may I ask, is the empty seat among you reserved for someone?"

"Is it reserved for Murong Yunlong, the president of the Murong Group?"

"Are you supporting Murong Yunlong for this session of the financial conference?"

"If so, has Murong Yunlong promised you anything?"

"…"

The major media outlets and television reporters crowded with microphones, making the four major group chairmen the focal point, as if everyone were waiting for their answers.

"No such thing!" Cui Jianghai, the chairman of Jianghai Group, said, "We are just here to compete. As for any promises made by Murong Yunlong to us, that's nonsense. Please don't speculate!"

"Of course, whoever is elected as the finance chairman, I will be happy for them!"

Upon hearing this, many people secretly despised them. Obviously, they were all in the same boat, yet they want to appear separate. Who are they trying to fool? Historically, when the finance chairman's position is elected, how much under-the-table dealings occur, do they think we don't know?

Are they really taking us for fools?

"Chairman Cui, since you said so, does this mean the financial conference is fair this time?"

"Indeed!" Cui Jianghai nodded.

"This does make us very expectant!" Many reporters spoke up, continuously taking photos with their cameras and filming.

"Look, it's Murong Yunlong, the chairman of the Murong Group, he's here!"

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh~

Upon hearing this, everyone in the hall turned to look at the door. Only to see Murong Yunlong, dressed in a suit and tie, wearing sunglasses, with a trench coat draped over his shoulders, making a strong impression. Behind him were two young men, but both were injured, with their left hands wrapped in plaster.

Needless to say, these two were Murong Bai and Murong Pengfei. Behind them were several bodyguards escorting them, ensuring their safety. Then they found a seat in the hall, sat down, and looked around.

"Hey, over here!" A young man shouted to the two, and they looked over to see a row of four young men of similar age sitting, with four beautiful women sitting beside them.

These women were naturally their girlfriends.

"You're all here!" Murong Pengfei said with a smile.

"Just joining the fun!" Cui Yongyuan said with a smile.

"Me too, but I also want to buy a gemstone necklace for my girlfriend. You guys better not compete with me!" Qiu Feng said from the side.

"But my girlfriend wants it too, so let's see who has more money!" Zhang Hao laughed.

"Exactly!" Zhang Hao's girlfriend snuggled up to him and giggled, "The gemstones prepared for this financial conference prelude are top-notch Red Diamond Blue Sea Heart, which woman wouldn't want that?"
