Chapter 653
This surname is so well known.
You can look up and see it when you walk down the road.
After all, Laurent Banks are everywhere.
Ninety-nine per cent of the people with the surname “Laurent” are elites in various fields.
If the host hadn’t mentioned “the man in charge” beforehand, the crowd would have thought it was one of the young masters of the Laurent family.
Once again, the global webcast exploded.
[Holy sh*t, the man in charge of the Laurent family is so young?
[Too handsome, too handsome, his blue eyes are too good.]
[Mom, want to marry.]
[Sorry, still he and Mr. Fu are a better match, both are young business elites [dog head]]
Joseph was also shocked, but more confused and uncomprehending.
The man he had asked to meet, Keir Laurent, could be in his forties, and he actually had to call a young man who didn’t even look twenty years old his master?
What kind of power structure was the Laurent family?
On the face of it, there was nothing special about this young man named “Cesar”.
Ying Ziji took one look at the red rose on Cesar’s chest and pressed her head.
She knew that once Xizhe appeared in public, he would go the way of a nobleman’s tart.
Totally uncontrollable.
I really didn’t want to know him.
Ying skimmed her eyes, not bothering to look away.
She pressed her headset, her voice lowered and her voice was clear: “Doll face, the venue will be monitored by you, ensure everyone’s safety.”
Today could be said to be the gathering of two giants of the international business world.
The country of j would definitely not be calm.
There were too many people who wanted to kill Fu Yunshen and Cesar Laurent.
Even if they didn’t have that ability, there were forces that wanted to pick up the pieces.
So before the quarterly report meeting took place, Ying Ziyang contacted Qin Lingyan and asked him to create a protection program.
“Copy that.” In another private villa in j country, Qin Lingyan’s gaze was fixed on the several computers in front of him as he took a sip of cola, “Everything is normal at the moment, no anti-personnel weapons have been found, the danger has been ruled out for now.”
But there was no absolute guarantee for remote monitoring, it was just a way to reduce the danger as much as possible.
“Huh?” Sinai looked up, “You’re checking for dangerous items?”
Ying nodded, “Well, we all have more enemies.”
Especially Xizhe and her, both had feuds that stretched back centuries.
The good thing was that her enemies didn’t know her now.
But not so much with Cesar being so high profile.
Maybe some people would just take his picture and compare it to a painting from centuries ago.
“Oh, that’s easy, I’ll look at it for you.”
Sinai said, pulling a pair of black-framed gla*ses out of his own pocket and putting them on.
Then pressed a button on the leg of the mirror.
Before her eyes, several grids instantly appeared, along with many digital markers.
It was an extensive search system and face recognition library, also capable of remote tracking.
Sinai looked around the venue with her gla*ses on and lowered her voice: “Ying, the third person in the fifth row on the left.”
Ying’s eyes narrowed slightly and he looked over.
“He has a bottle of flammable substance in his pocket, 20ml, capable of blowing up half the venue if it meets an open flame.”
Qin Lingyan kept his eyes on the venue.
After he heard this sentence, he choked and sprayed a mouthful of cola: “Big brother sister, who is this little girl?”
Were these eyes see-through?
It worked better than even his program?
“Picked it up as I went along.” Ying pressed his headset and instructed the other side, “The third person in the fifth row on the left, escort them out.”
It was better to kill ten thousand by mistake than to spare one.
Who would have nothing to do with bringing in combustible materials?
Moreover, if he could bring in a 20ml bottle of combustible material, I’m afraid there was a mole in the security office.
Ying Ziji swept a faint glance at the entrance of the venue.
The divine calculation ability was activated in an instant, and a faint mist brushed past in front of her eyes.
Many things that had already happened in the past automatically came to the forefront.
The first one, the fourth one, and the last one.
All were people that Joseph had planted in the room.
“Valens.” Ying ordered again, “And these staff at the door, take them out together, you are in charge of the interrogation.”
There was nothing ibi couldn’t ask.
Outside the venue, Valence stood on high ground.
He glanced at his watch and said seriously, “Yes, Miss Ying.”
At first he had doubts about Ying Zigui’s ability.
But after following Ying Zigui for a few days, Valens was thoroughly convinced and in awe.
No wonder they had planted even their officer, who was known as an ascetic, on them.
Valence waved his hand and gestured to his men, “You go in, bring out the men and keep the officer safe.”
As the five search officers went in, one of the agents who had stayed his hand suddenly spoke up, “Officer Valens, our chief is too good at time management, isn’t he?”
Before this, even they, as henchmen, couldn’t accept that ibi’s top executive officer was also the chief executive of the venus group.
“Nonsense.” Valens glanced at him and grunted, “So, we’re all single dogs.”
Agent: “……”
What did the two have to do with each other?
Shouldn’t it be that their leader was too good at destroying his subordinates?
**
With all eyes in the venue focused on the high stage, not many noticed a few people being forcefully led out by ibi’s search officers.
On the stage, Cesar was still speaking, “The Loran Bank has surpa*sed two billion subscribers, thank you all for your trust.”
Two billion, a very large number indeed.
“Oh yes, there’s another important thing, it just so happens that everyone is here this time, so I’ll say something about that too.” Cesar gripped the microphone and looked at the host, “Is this a global broadcast?”
The host was busy nodding, “Yes, Mr. Cesar, the global audience is watching you.”
“Very good.” Sizzer was satisfied, “I’m going to make an announcement, I’m going to do it globally-”
He was halfway through his sentence when he felt a murderous aura.
Cesar subconsciously turned his head.
The girl looked at him with an expressionless face.
Cesar stiffened and slowed down before speaking with difficulty, “Loran Bank is preparing to issue new black gold cards with serial numbers from A to F rank, and the A rank black gold cards are limited to ten worldwide, so stay tuned.”
The corner of Kiel’s mouth twitched as he sat down: “……”
Why had their master suddenly turned into a salesman?
The others were also a little disappointed.
[Ugh, so it’s a card distribution, I thought it was going to be a marriage solicitation.]
[Disperse, disperse, a grade A black gold card, where can we get it?
[Curiosity is raised, just say a this, liar.]
Master Zhong was suspicious: “D**key, I don’t think he just wants to give out the cards, he must be saying something else.”
Ying Ziji glanced coolly at Xize who had come down from the stage and took a slow sip of water: “Yes, he wants a global call for marriage, but he wouldn’t dare.”
Master Zhong: “……”
His granddaughter was making fun of him again.
After Ian gave his final speech, the quarterly presentation was now over.
The host took over the microphone, “Next, it’s time for our dance party, and since everyone is so eager to see our Executive Hair Chief Fu, he will lead the dance.”
“Executive Hairy Fu’s dance partner, we will draw lots on the spot to decide.”
This sentence made all the young women in the venue come with great interest.
This included the Princess of Country J.
She showed a few rare moments of her little daughter’s shyness.
The young girl looked at the boxes the staff brought up and pursed her lips, “Daddy.”
James naturally knew exactly what his daughter was thinking and patted the young girl’s hand, “Don’t worry, daddy will get it for you.”
The host spoke again, “Next, I’d like to ask our Executive Director himself to draw lots again to open tonight’s-”
“Sorry, there’s no more balls today.” An impatient voice rang out, interrupting the host, “There’s no Executive Director Fu either, the Executive Director’s last name isn’t Fu.”
A stone shocked a thousand waves.
The guests were stunned as they looked at Joseph who stood up.
A quarterly presentation had become the centre point of a business battle?
“Joseph, what are you doing?” Neil was furious, “You’re not even the COO and you’re already trying to step on the boss’s head?”
“Boss?” Joseph gave a contemptuous laugh, “Not any time soon.”
In full view of everyone, he straightened his suit and walked up to the lectern.
Fu Yunshen looked sideways, his expression faint.
“Chief Executive Fu, you don’t know that yet, do you?” Joseph smiled, “Just for such a period of time as your speech, Loran Bank has frozen all the properties under your name.”
The moment these words came out, the faces of many of the venus group’s top executives turned pale.
But not including the few who had long been bribed by Joseph, who gave an expression of watching a good show.
Neil cursed, “Joseph, you are simply despicable!”
Joseph didn’t care at all, he smiled again, “I’m not discussing with you again, but I’m informing you that the position of venus group’s executive chairman, I’m sitting.”
Fu Yunshen’s eyes remained light.
Joseph frowned and turned his head, respectfully, “Mr. Laurent, please.”
Cesar raised his eyebrows and walked up.
Chapter 654
The total global broadcast continued and did not stop.
The media were also surprised, but they wouldn’t let go of such a good spot.
The journalists were busy and frenziedly pressing the shutter on the confrontation between Joseph and Fu Yunshen.
Immediately, the news would be an international shock.
The netizens watching the live broadcast from all over the world were unable to react.
[???? What’s going on?
[Who is this Joseph and what does he want?
[This O-continent man is the president of Venus Group’s O-union region, is he trying to force his way to the top?
[I don’t think you deserve it!
This time when he appeared in front of the public, Fu Yun Shen won the goodwill of many people on the Chinese side.
The chief executive of the world’s number one group was from their country, China.
This gave them a feeling of raising their eyebrows.
Finally, they didn’t have to be pressured by the O-continent side anymore.
Elder Zhong immediately tensed up and his expression changed drastically, “The Loran Bank has frozen the funds?!”
He had been managing the Zhong Group, and naturally knew how great an impact a complete freeze of funds could have on a group.
With the manipulation of the Laurent Bank, it wouldn’t take a day for the venus group’s companies around the world to come to a standstill.
“Grandpa, it’s alright.” Ying Zigui was calm, “You still don’t believe him?”
“I don’t believe a thing.” Elder Zhong was so angry that he rolled his eyes, “Look at this kid who has been pretending to be a dude for over twenty years, who in the whole of Shanghai has found out?”
“I told you a long time ago, he’s just like his grandfather, he likes to lie to people, how can people believe him? I’d rather believe that a sow will fall on a tree.”
Ying Zidian: “……”
There was no way for her to refute this statement.
“Grandpa.” Ying Tianru coughed lightly, “If you don’t believe him, you have to believe D**key too.”
“That too.” Elder Zhong muttered, “Ugh, it’s just that this old man’s heart of mine just can’t take it, this shock.”
Suddenly he’s been removed from the venus group, and suddenly he’s the executive director.
Now, someone else is coming to usurp the throne.
Ying looked up and watched as Cesar rejoined the stage, his eyebrows raised.
Joseph bowed to the young man and took a document from his a*sistant’s hand and handed it over.
He spoke with a smile, “Mr. Cesar, as agreed, I offer 10% of the shares of the venus group.”
Nishizawa glanced at it and took it, “10%? Not bad, very generous, I like it.”
Seeing this scene, the guests on stage were astonished and started to whisper.
“Ten per cent, no wonder the Laurent family made a bid.”
“The Laurent family only looks at money, I remember a rumour that Mr. Cesar can only sleep on gold?”
“I think that’s fine, the venus group was originally started by us from o-continent, it’s better to have an o-continent man as the chief executive.”
“D*mn it! Traitor!” Neil shouted in anger, “Joseph, you shameless b*****d, come here if you dare, I’ll beat you up so that your mother doesn’t even know you!”
“Come here you! See if I don’t beat you to death!”
Ian held him down for dear life, “Shut up, shut up! The boss didn’t even say anything, so what the hell are you talking about.”
He really had never seen such a crazy fan.
“Naturally.” Joseph simply ignored Neil, his heart beating with joy, “In the future the venus group will definitely put the Laurent family first, Mr. Sizer please trust me.”
Joseph’s credit was indeed essential for the o alliance area to grow to the size it was today.
So with the Executive Director not showing up for a long time, he had also managed to turn a few of the top bra*s.
“Well, I’m a businessman.” Cesar smiled, “but only like to do business with smart people, and in my eyes, you’re not a smart person.”
Joseph froze, failing to understand, “Mr. Sizer, you’re ……”
Without looking at him, Cesar turned his head sideways and called out faintly, “Keel.”
Kiel Laurent, the vice president of Laurent Bank, got up and walked up to the stage, “Master.”
Cesar spoke, “How is the matter entrusted to you?”
Kiel saluted respectfully, “Back to you, master, all the funds transferred by Mr. Joseph Bunker have been frozen and transferred to the general accounts of the venus group, as you wished.”
“All other outflows have also been recovered, here are the terms, please look through them master.”
At these words, even Joseph’s own brain buzzed, not to mention the others’.
He just felt like he had been punched in the face by someone at the door, unable to stand still, and instantly his face was bloodless.
Didn’t they say they were going to freeze the Venus Group’s funds?
Why was it him who was frozen?
Especially the netizens watching the live broadcast.
[???? What is this operation again?]
[It’s over. Is this a game of Infernal Affairs? I can’t understand it anymore.
[Although I can’t understand it, it doesn’t stop me from thinking that this Joseph is a brainiac.]
“Well, not bad.” Cesar encouraged, then turned his head, “Here.”
Fu Yun raised his deep eyebrows and trailed off in his voice, “Thanks.”
Joseph then watched as the share transfer letter he had given to Xize returned to Fu Yunshen’s hand.
His brain was completely dead.
What was going on?
What the hell is going on here?
Joseph stood stiffly on the dais, feeling like a clown.
His face turned red, embarra*sed to the point of no return.
“No thanks.” Cesar shrugged, “I’ll take my chances, whoever made me have to call you big brother.”
His voice carried through the microphone and resonated throughout the venue.
Once again, the guests were stunned.
Joseph stared blankly at the demonic man, his face turning white with a swish and his voice trembling, “Impossible! This is impossible!”
The venus group and the Laurent family had always had a semi-hostile relationship, the only place they had ever crossed paths was a space carrier experiment.
If Fu Yunshen and Cesar were brothers, would the venus group still be suppressed during the development period?
“From now on, the Laurent family has only one partner.” The Venus Group, from now on, will be an ally of the Laurent family.”
Fu Yunshen slightly inclined his head and glanced at the girl sitting in the VIP seat.
His eyes were soft and his light was misty.
After a moment and, he withdrew his gaze, lazy: “venus group, will open a formal cooperation with the Laurent family, the cooperation project will be published on the internet later.”
“!”
The conversation between the two men completely and utterly ignited the international business world.
[Cooperation of the century! A collaboration of the century!
[The world’s number one family and the world’s number one group have collaborated, who else can compare?
The Taylor family, sitting in front of the television set, turned pale at this, “These two!”
The Taylor family had always been business enemies with the Venus Group, so naturally they would not be present at the quarterly presentation.
But when the two giants of business gathered together, they were naturally concerned.
But the Taylors didn’t expect that the Laurent family would join forces with the venus group!
If this continues, how can they still fight against them?
Once the Pazzi family had been destroyed, the four major financial magnates of the O Continent would have been lost in name only.
The Manson family is a madman who loves racing and has not paid much attention to the business world in recent years.
As for the Bevan family, since the Bevan family head has only been detoxified for a short time, he has no intention of participating in these struggles.
That left only the Taylor family.
The Taylor family head was completely unable to contain his anger and pounded the table heavily, “D*mn it!”
He pondered for a moment with a sullen face, called for his butler and whispered a few words.
**
Inside the meeting hall.
Neil could be proud: “Superintendent Ian, the boss is amazing, taking the Laurent family under his wing.”
“Not the boss.” Ian spread his hands, “It’s the boss’s wife.”
Neil: “?”
Joseph was just ushered out by someone from the security office.
The blow was so overwhelming that he stared blankly and didn’t even struggle.
The curtain came down on a business forced with an extremely dramatic twist.
The host, his legs weak, came up with difficulty: “The following ball officially begins, Executive Director Fu, please.”
Xize rubbed his chin, “I’ll draw one too.”
He didn’t ask for marriage, but a dance would do, right?
“Sure.” Fu Yunshen was lazy, “You’ll go first?”
Xi Ze was afraid of Ying Ziji’s authority and coughed lightly, “Then the elders will go first.”
Fu Yunshen swept his gaze, and his long, slender fingers poked out.
“One moment, please!”
A voice suddenly rang out, interrupting the flow of the ball.
“According to the president’s wishes, it is better to give the opening dance to the unmarried couple.” The one who spoke was the royal butler next to President James of country j. He smiled a little, “After all, our princess doesn’t really like her fiancé to be in contact with other women, she will not be happy.”
[The fiancé of the princess of country j, who?
[Who else could it be, Executive Director Fu, wow, a combination of a rich and handsome man and a rich and white woman, envy.
[And you get to watch a wedding today? Happy!
The man’s hand stopped and he raised his eyes to look at James.
“Mr. Fu, we made a deal at the time.” James nodded towards him, “It’s convenient that you’re all here today, so why don’t Mr. Fu and Catherine get engaged?”
