The leader was wearing a colorful shirt and beach pants, with his chest and abdomen open, and his muscles were tangled, and he had a standard male waist.
Young Francis was sitting on the side of the cruise ship with a group of consortium elders he had brought.
"Edward, I heard that your Malvo has opened all over the Xia Kingdom, but you have not opened one in Handong Province. Why is that?"
Francis obviously did it on purpose.
Everyone present did not know that Edward was in trouble in Handong Province.
None of their supermarkets can stay open.
Because of a shameless opponent who will fight to the death, Family Portrait Supermarket!
But no one present dared to step on Edward's thunder.
Only Francis, who was Edward's equal, had the right to ridicule.
When Edward heard this, he was not angry and said with a smile: "Fran, I heard that you also fell into disgrace in Handong Province. Am I right?"
Francis' face darkened.
Broken in the sand, he was referring to the fact that during the treasure appraisal conference, Xia Ye took away the imperial cultural relics, but they, the consortium bosses, did not take any of them.
Xia Ye went bankrupt and took out Yemu Capital's nine billion capital pool.
And all the cultural relics photographed will be handed over to the state.
This pattern shocked the whole country.
Even though the public's memory is short-lived, not many people still remember that auction until now.
Most people still live a peaceful life every day, with major events passing by under their eyes and forgotten after seeing them.
Xia Ye's name is like a flash in the pan.
Even if someone still remembers the treasure appraisal conference, they can’t remember the name of the protagonist at the conference.
Francis looked ugly.
That scene was too embarrassing for them.
Not only Francis, but also the elders of the consortium present also bowed their heads.
In front of the Xia merchants, they lost.
And he lost miserably!
Edward said: "At the very least, my supermarkets are still open all over Xia Kingdom, just in Hanjiang Province. I am not curious about it. But Fran, you got nothing when you came to Xia Kingdom this time!"
Francis gritted his teeth and said, "Edward, please be considerate when you speak."
"Haha, Fran, you misunderstood. I am not laughing at you, but just like you, I am very curious about that summer night."
"What do you mean?" Francis frowned in surprise.
"Why didn't my Malvo Supermarket open in Hanjiang Province? Because the owner behind Family Portrait Supermarket is the capital of summer nights!"
"It's him again?!" Francis was shocked.
Unexpectedly, Night Capital is so powerful in Hanjiang Province!
"This man is very smart. He has purchased such a large property at a young age. He has outstanding abilities and is a proud man of heaven. No matter whether he is born into a noble family or is from a poor family, this man is incomparable to us."
Francis' face turned red: "You are willing to admit this."
Edward spread his hands and said: "My father taught me that no matter who I meet, I should stay humble. He can cover the sky with one hand in Handong Province on a summer night. This is his ability, whether it is in business, politics, or even in politics. In the eyes of the people, they all wear the same pants as Xia Ye. Such people are rare. "
Francis sneered: "You are just trying to build up other people's ambitions, what use is it to you and me?"
Edward said: "Don't underestimate your enemy, Fran, you and I can actually join forces."
"Join forces? How to join forces?"
Edward smiled and said: "Aren't you always thinking of ways to get revenge on Xia Ye? Why should I invite you to this cruise ship? Fran, I have a way, but I need your help."
Francis finally showed a hint of curiosity and interest: "Oh?"
At this moment.
A crowd of people flocked to the scene.
There are nearly a thousand people on this cruise ship.
Many are guests invited by foreign capital groups.
Edward was just one of the hosts.
Their family has been in the hegemonic country for hundreds of years, doing business and building a business empire.
In the Overlord Kingdom, Edward's family actually had a very high status.
It is much more powerful than an intellectual and cultural group like Francis.
After all, no matter what Francis is, he is just a young leader of a group who digs graves and does archaeology.
As for Edward, their family supplies goods and daily necessities of all sizes to the overlord.
These are things that ordinary people cannot live without.
How many factories and employees are there, and how much value is created every year?
They have an organization called the Freemasons.
It has been established since the founding of the Hegemony.
The members are all nobles and gentlemen from the hegemonic country, and there are even high-ranking officials and many capitalists.
The people on this cruise ship are all from the Freemasonry!
However, this organization is relatively decentralized, and it can be said that it usually does not interfere with the river.
But as long as the organizers of the Freemasonry wave their arms, the entire hegemony can twist like a machine.
How many productions were organized by Freemasonry during World War II.
Let the overlord's production capacity reach a terrifying peak!
Their factories can produce countless aircraft, cannons, and aircraft carrier rockets almost every day!
Their capital affects the entire Europe and the Middle East almost all the time!
Their forces and troops can be seen in almost every third world country!
Masonic!
A huge organization!
An organization that covers the sky with one hand and controls a country behind the scenes!
Even the president of a hegemonic country is sometimes constrained by the Freemasons. There are many things that even the president can't do. He can't do it, but the Freemasons can do it!
So even though Francis and Edward's family businesses are so far apart, they don't even know each other well.
But as members of the Freemasonry, there is an inexplicable tacit understanding between them.
A tacit understanding to deal with the same enemy!
The two of them said no more words appropriately.
Instead, he turned to look at the group of people approaching.
"Mr. Edward!"
"Little Lord!"
This group of people are all from Xia country.
Moreover, they are all partners who have very good relations with capitalists in their overlord countries, Europe and other places.
"Edward, let me introduce to you, this is Hong Fenhao, the president of Shunzhou Group, my friend." Francis stood up and patted Hong Fenhao on the shoulder.
Hong Fenhao smiled and nodded: "Mr. Edward, I have long admired your name. Our young master often talks about you."
Edward nodded: "Fran, let me also introduce you. This is Yuan Huan, the general manager of Malvo in Hanjiang Province. This is my new friend on Tianya Island, Cai Wenwen and Du Anguo. They are both from Xia Guogang Businessmen in Taiwan."
It turned out that Cai Wenwen and Du Anguo appeared together on Tianya Island after the treasure appraisal conference, and they were invited to attend the banquet.
The cruise ship will travel around the entire southern sea, which will last about half a month.
Cai Wenwen was unwilling to give up this opportunity to meet foreign business friends.
