After two days of arduous negotiations, the establishment of a free trade zone between Zhong Hai and Singapore had been finalized.
Many of the officials and elites of the business world felt as if they had run a marathon. They felt both tired and relaxed.
Meanwhile, in the banquet hall of the cruise ship, many officials and tycoons were drinking and chatting merrily.
"If the free trade zone is built successfully, Mayor Ye will be one of the top contributors. He will be noticed by the central government and be promoted to the position of the number one official of Zhong Hai!"
"Yeah, after the establishment of Zhong Hai Free Trade Zone, more countries and regions will join us. It will push the economy of Zhong Hai to a new height!"
Many tycoons and government officials surrounded Ye Haochen like stars around the moon. Their faces were plastered with flattering smiles.
"This is a pioneering work. Now Mayor Ye is not even 50 years old. He can be said to be young and vigorous. With such outstanding achievements and the support of the Old Lord Ye, he will become the secretary of the central government in five years. That will be a different story! "
Everyone displayed their own unique skills, and fancy flattery flew into the sky. Colorful flattery surged like a tide.
As the Crown Prince of Zhong Hai, Ye Haochen was already a very powerful man. Even the richest people on the Forbes list treated him with respect. At this moment, the way they looked at Ye Haochen was different.
If Ye Weihao could become the secretary of the central government, he would be able to join the central government.
That meant that he would be able to climb to the top of the pyramid of power in Hua Xia.
Everyone felt as if they were witnessing the rise of a new political family.
Ye Haochen, on the other hand, was like a golden egg that could transform into a divine dragon of the ninth heaven.
"This matter isn't set in stone yet!"
Ye Haochen suppressed his smugness and said with a smile. "I had a meeting with Prime Minister Li Xianlong this morning. He said that we need the approval of the new Grand Preceptor of Singapore."
"Grand Preceptor? What the hell is that? Why does it sound like a feudal society? "
"Yeah, isn't Singapore a modern country with a legal system? Why does the Grand Preceptor have the final say? "
"Yeah, this is too unbelievable!"
Many tycoons were perplexed.
"He is probably a Feng Shui Master."
Ye Haochen said lightly. "I have worked in Singapore for many years and I know that Singapore's obsession with Feng Shui has reached an unimaginable level. Do you know about the Suntec City Complex? "
"We know, we know!" Everyone agreed and listened attentively.
Ye Haochen held a glass full of champagne, elegantly speaking: "When the place first opened for business, the businesses there were dismal. Later, under the guidance of the State Preceptor, Master Red Boat, a circular fountain was built that sprayed inward. It is known as the Fountain of Wealth. "
"In Cantonese, there's a meaning of 'water is money'. Spurting inward means keeping the goodies within the family! Since then, the sales of the Suntec City building complex have been smooth sailing, and the merchants have made a fortune. It has now become the most prosperous commercial complex in Singapore. "
"I see!"
"Young Master Ye is indeed knowledgeable. As expected of someone who studied at Singapore National University!"
Everyone felt incredulous, but they still nodded.
A tycoon smiled and added: "There's one more thing. In early 1997, a new subway opened in Singapore. Due to the Asian Financial Crisis, the economy took a nosedive. At that time, Prime Minister Lee Guangyao was so anxious that he asked the State Preceptor for help.
"The State Preceptor placed the Feng Shui diagram in front of Lee Guangyao and said that Feng Shui dragon veins are like this. Now that you have opened a subway, you have forcefully broken the dragon veins. My solution is that every Singaporean citizen must wear a small Eight Trigrams. "
"Lee Guangyao agreed and immediately carried out the instructions. That's how the current Singapore one-yuan coin came into existence!"
He smiled and took out a coin.
"It really is an imitation of the Eight Trigrams!"
"Yes, the whole thing is round, but the hollow edges are in the shape of the Eight Trigrams!"
Everyone clicked their tongues in wonder.
Ye Haochen smiled and commented: "I don't know if it was the Asian Financial Crisis that caused the State Preceptor's miracle, or if it was the State Preceptor's miracle that dispelled the financial crisis. Either way, Singapore's economy recovered and started to prosper. "
His face was solemn as he said: "In short, the State Preceptor is a highly respected figure in Singapore. He is also known as the King of Singapore. In the 1980s, it was the Venerable Master Red Boat. In the 1990s, it was Wang Chongyan from the Chinese Society of Singapore. Now, it's the legendary State Preceptor Jiang! "
As everyone chatted, they were all inquiring about this god-like Imperial Preceptor Jiang. Someone asked, "I wonder if the arrogant and despotic Grandmaster Jiang from two nights ago dares to come today?"
Ye Haochen's eyes flashed with disdain. He took a sip of red wine and didn't reply.
"Yeah, didn't he say that he was coming today?" A tycoon holding a folding fan, Boss Fu, sneered.
"Don't scare him to death! Many political figures are coming today. There are police and even military guards. He should surrender now that he is here! "
Boss Zhang, who was wearing a jade bracelet at the side, sneered.
"I bet he would have run back to Hua Xia already."
A socialite from Zhong Hai sneered.
"Do you think he can run back to Hua Xia? If he offended Young Master Ye, the leaders of Su Province would not let him off the hook! "
Boss Fu, who was holding a folding fan, said disdainfully.
Everyone nodded. Ye Weihao had made it into a free trade zone. How brilliant of a political achievement was that?
Zhong Hai was the second largest city in Hua Xia. It was almost certain that he would become the Secretary of Zhong Hai.
"Let's drink! He is just a spoiled brat! Take your time, I am going to the banquet hall to keep my father company! "
Ye Haochen toasted everyone and then walked into the banquet hall in high spirits.
…
"Mr. Jiang Tian and Ms. Zhao Xueqing of Jin City have arrived!"
Clang! Clang! Clang!
When Jiang Tian appeared on the deck of the cruise ship, a commotion broke out. Many people looked at the boarding gate in disbelief.
Everyone's faces were filled with shock, disbelief, ridicule, curiosity, and schadenfreude. There were all kinds of expressions.
They had never heard of Jiang Tian's name before.
However, after the incident at the Hilton Hotel, everyone in Zhong Hai knew about the Master Kang of Jin City.
"So he is the Master Kang of Jin City? He is so young! "
"I heard that he dominated Ling Nan and defeated the three most powerful families in Jin City. That's impossible!"
"Not only that, I also heard that the Tang family of Lin Zhou is very close to him!"
Everyone's attention was on Jiang Tian and Zhao Xueqing. Jiang Tian had left many legends in Jin City.
He used to be a spoiled brat who was mentally unstable, but he rose to power and became the leader of the underworld in Jiang Bei. He defeated the Wei family and the Mo family in Ling Nan and shocked many powerful families. Then, he returned to Jin City and defeated the three most powerful families in Jin City.
All along the way, he was simply advancing triumphantly with irresistible force. His speed was like a rocket, and he was practically invincible.
There were many rumors about him.
Some said that he was the illegitimate son of a boss in the Central Government, or that he was adopted by a mysterious sorcerer.
Although many people didn't believe it, these rumors were very convincing, and many people believed it.
"Humph! He is just average. I don't care if you believe it or not, but I don't believe it!"
Boss Fu looked at Jiang Tian, slapped the folding fan in his hand, and shook his head.
"Boss Fu, if it weren't for him, the Nie family wouldn't have fallen. Nie Zhanghai was burned to death! Nie Zhanghai had dominated Jin City for many years. Even Secretary Fan and Secretary Yu couldn't defeat him! "Boss Zhang twirled the jade bracelet in his hand and said with a smile.
"Heh … Boss Zhang, you said it yourself. Even Secretary Fan and Secretary Yu couldn't defeat Nie Zhanghai. How could he?" Boss Fu raised his eyebrows.
"Well …" Boss Zhang was speechless.
Yes, Secretary Fan and Secretary Yu were both high-ranking officials. However, Nie Zhanghai and the other two families had dominated Jin City for decades. Even these high-ranking officials couldn't do anything about it, let alone this young man in front of him who looked like he was in his early twenties.
"I want to say that it was just a coincidence. Nie Zhanghai was too arrogant. The higher-ups had their eyes on him for a long time. Since the Jiang family and the Nie family had a grudge against each other, the officials pushed the Jiang family out!"
Boss Fu waved the folding fan in his hand, as if he was Zhuge Kongming.
"Wan 'er, what do you want to eat? Teppanyaki squid. Eat whatever you want today, you greedy little cat! "
Jiang Tian pulled a chair over and sat down. He held Jiang Wan 'er in his arms and fed her the grilled squid on the grill.
"Cousin, it's delicious!" Jiang Wan 'er beamed with joy. Her mouth was greasy.
At this time, Director Hu heard the news and came over.
He put on a professional posture and frowned. "Mr. Jiang, right? I'm sorry, but this is the celebration party of the Zhong Hai delegation. Unauthorized personnel are not allowed to enter. Please leave! "
"Who are you?" Jiang Tian looked at him curiously.
"Me? I am the director of the office of Zhong Hai City. I am also the personal secretary of Mayor Ye Weihao. I am also the chief steward of the delegation. "
Director Hu had an arrogant look on his face. He cast a sidelong glance at Jiang Tian as if he was looking at a beggar.
Because Jiang Tian had beaten up the members of the visiting group, Ye Weihao was enraged and scolded him. Now that he had seen the culprit, how could he still hold it in?
"What a big shot! You scared the hell out of me!"
Jiang Tian picked up the grilled tuna again, stuffed it into Jiang Wan 'er's mouth, and sneered without raising his head.
"Actually, you're nothing more than a horse guard who leads a horse for someone else, a clown who carries a sedan chair and plays the trumpet. You are just a small fry. How dare you act so arrogantly in front of me. Dog slave, you're simply courting death! "
"Jiang Tian, who do you think you are? Your father Jiang Zhixing was just a divisional official a year ago! "
These words were too harsh. Even though Director Hu had experienced decades of ups and downs in the officialdom, he was about to explode with anger at this moment.
He was so angry that his lips were trembling. His body was shaking uncontrollably. Then he ground his teeth and said with disdain and mockery:
"When I went to Jinling on a business trip, your father served me wine, lit cigarettes, and gave me gifts. It was as if he was meeting his own grandfather."
He wanted to return the humiliation brought by Jiang Tian a hundredfold.
"He even helped me open the car door! I don't know who is the slave and who is the clown! What? Now he has just been promoted to the office level, and he is only at the peace level. How dare you … "
"Haha, you are courting death!"
Hearing this, Jiang Tian's face suddenly became gloomy. A cold light flashed in his eyes.
