Although Ye Longlin’s ambition was not in business, he also knew that such a business conference would reveal the next business landscape.
The Star City business community was truly too chaotic and needed the entry of real capital.
The Star City business community was a scene of chaos, without any real capital to anchor it.
Now that Wang’s Group and Mu’s Group had entered, both of which were considered real capital across the country, it was estimated that this business conference would be about these matters.
International Hanwei City Hotel.
This was the only official hotel in Star City. Whenever there was a large-scale conference, it was usually held here. Important meetings at the Mayor’s Mansion were also held here.
“I heard that the conference tonight is of a very high caliber. It is said that there are important figures from the capital, and the mayor, the party secretary, and the head of the Ministry of Commerce will all be attending. They will all be attending to accompany that important figure from the capital.”
“Is that so? I heard it’s not like that. It’s probably because the situation is too chaotic, and the Ministry of Commerce is preparing to clean up the industry landscape and set industry rules. After all, we are a border city, and anything that happens here is considered normal.”
“Who cares? If top capital is truly introduced, it will definitely be us who are squeezed, and we will be the ones to suffer. If capital is to be introduced, it will definitely cause our fierce resistance, and the authorities definitely don’t want to see such a situation.”
Everyone’s thoughts were quite active, after all, for them, the current situation was quite good.
In the conference hall, everyone was already seated, and only the first two rows were not yet full.
The first two rows represented the officials.
Soon, several figures walked in, surrounding a young man. The young man sat in the center seat, and even Zhao Guobiao could only smile apologetically.
“Isn’t that Ye Longlin! What qualifications does he have!”
Many people present recognized Ye Longlin and immediately exclaimed, but after exclaiming, they realized that this was not a place where they could discuss freely.
Ye Longlin was a well-known figure in the Star City business community. He had caused quite a stir during this period, so many people knew him.
They only knew that he was Lin Tianai’s husband.
However, they were divorced now!
“Someone who can be treated as an honored guest by the mayor must not be that simple. It seems Lin Tianai has misjudged him.”
Many people looked at Lin Tianai with strange expressions. Clearly, they did not expect Ye Longlin to have such an identity.
Lin Tianai’s face was also very unpleasant. Clearly, she did not expect Ye Longlin to attend such a conference, and even more so to be in the front row, in the center seat!
This was not a small meeting; it was a meeting for the new landscape of Star City!
Mu Hanqi sighed. After all, as a close friend for so long, she still advised, “Tianai, look at Ye Longlin now. I’ve told you, Ye Longlin is definitely not this simple. If he were that simple, he wouldn’t be so confident.
Think about what he did before. When you think about it now, wasn’t it because of him that you were able to be so successful? After the divorce, many collaborations vanished like smoke, like castles in the air?”
Lin Tianai stubbornly shook her head, “I never relied on him to cooperate with them; it was because of my own abilities. Even without him, I could still cooperate with them.”
Hearing her words, Mu Hanqi didn’t know what to say for a moment, and just shook her head in resignation.
She would let him figure these things out himself. If he couldn’t figure it out, he would always be like this.
She couldn’t say anything.
Anyway, she had said it several times.
“But the fact is, the fact is that all your partners have severed their cooperation with you, and the bank is also ordering you to repay your debts within a deadline. All of this happened after you divorced Ye Longlin. If you were still the Lin Tianai I knew, you would realize that everything that has happened to Juling Group now was brought about by Ye Longlin.”
After Mu Hanqi finished speaking, she walked towards the front.
Lin Tianai grabbed her and asked with a frown, “What are you doing?”
She smiled slightly, “Ye Longlin gave me special privileges, so I’m sitting in the middle seat of the second row. If you hadn’t divorced him, this seat would belong to you.”
Her words were like sharp swords piercing Lin Tianai’s heart.
If she hadn’t divorced him, all these things would have belonged to her, but now they belonged to outsiders.
Lin Tianai felt very uncomfortable and didn’t know what to say for a moment. She slowly let go of Mu Hanqi’s hand, her eyes gradually becoming vacant, and she remained silent for a long time.
Ye Longlin, is he really that attractive?
He never noticed it, but why did they all keep saying how good Ye Longlin was?
A hint of confusion appeared in her eyes.
“The Third Star City Commercial Conference is now officially beginning!”
“Five years have passed since the Second Star City Commercial Conference. In these five years, we have gone through hardships and benefited some people. In accordance with the instructions of the highest ministry, the third commercial conference is now commencing.”
“We now invite Mr. Ye and Mayor Zhao to the stage to give the opening remarks for this conference.”
For the next ten minutes, Ye Longlin and Zhao Guobiao gave speeches.
Those who could speak in such a setting were not ordinary people!
And this could only mean one thing: his status was higher than Mayor Zhao’s!
After all, in such a situation, it was the person with the higher status who could speak first.
“The Star City business community has developed for so long and has now entered a bottleneck period. With hundreds of companies of various sizes, the Star City business community is in chaos. The highest ministry has issued a red-header document to rectify the Star City business community and introduce Yuanzhan Capital, Wang’s Group under Muchen Capital, and Mu’s Group.”
“The two groups are key priorities for the Ministry of Commerce. Subsequent documents will be issued, based on those documents, and also…”
Cheng Kunpeng, the head of the Ministry of Commerce, began a lengthy speech, quoting classics and displaying the demeanor of a seasoned official.
“Excuse me, Minister Cheng, I have something to say.”
It was Lin Tianai who raised her hand.
Cheng Kunpeng’s speech was interrupted, his expression changed slightly, and he glanced at her coldly, a smile appearing on his lips.
“Of course, you can. It’s free speech. We will also take care of the development of every enterprise. We cannot let our enterprises be exploited by external capital.”
Lin Tianai nodded and said, “May I ask Director Cheng, Star City is a second-tier city. Why should we introduce such behemoths as Yuanzhan Capital and Muchen Capital? This will impact the Star City market, and even many small and micro enterprises will perish in this storm. Do you have any explanation for this?”
