Chapter 654 A Century-Long Collaboration, Engagement [2 Updates]
The global live stream is still ongoing and has not stopped.
The media were also quite surprised, but they wouldn't let such a great story slip by.
The reporter frantically snapped photos of Joseph and Fu Yunshen as they faced off.
This news will shock the entire world in no time.
Viewers around the world watching the live stream were also caught off guard.
What's going on?!
Who is this Joseph, and what does he want?
[Is this man from O continent the president of Venus Group's O Alliance region? Is he trying to force his way into power?]
【Pah! You dare say that?!】
This public appearance earned Fu Yunshen considerable goodwill from many people in China.
The CEO of the world's number one group is Chinese.
This gave them a sense of triumph.
Finally, we're no longer being suppressed by the O continent.
Old Master Zhong immediately tensed up, his expression changing drastically: "Laurent Bank has frozen the funds?!"
He had been managing the Zhong Group for a long time, so he naturally knew how much impact a group's funds could have if they were completely frozen.
With Laurent Bank at its helm, Venus Group’s companies around the world would be paralyzed in less than a day.
"Grandpa, it's alright." Ying Zijing said calmly, "Don't you trust him?"
"I don't believe a damn thing." Old Master Zhong rolled his eyes in anger. "Look at this kid, he's been pretending to be a playboy for over twenty years, and who in the whole of Shanghai has noticed?"
"I told you long ago, he's just like his grandfather, he likes to lie, how can anyone believe him? I'd rather believe that pigs can fly."
Ying Zijin: "..."
She couldn't refute that.
“Grandpa,” Ying Tianlu coughed lightly, “Even if you don’t believe him, you have to believe Zijin.”
"That's true," Grandpa Zhong muttered. "Alas, it's just that my old heart can't take it anymore, all this sudden shocks."
He was suddenly dismissed from his position at the Venus Group, and then suddenly became its CEO.
Now, someone else is trying to usurp the throne.
Ying Zijing looked up, watching Xize return to the stage, her eyebrows raised.
Joseph bowed to the young man, took a document from his assistant, and handed it over.
He smiled and said, "Mr. Xize, as agreed, I will offer 10% of the shares of Venus Group."
Xize glanced at it, then took it: "10%? Not bad, very generous, I like it very much."
Upon seeing this, the guests below the stage were surprised and began to whisper among themselves.
"10%, no wonder the Laurent family made a move."
"The Laurent family only cares about money. I remember there was a rumor that Mr. Caesar could only sleep on gold?"
“I think this is a good idea. The Venus Group originally started from O continent, so it’s better to have someone from O continent as the CEO.”
"Damn it! Traitor!" Neil roared angrily. "Joseph, you shameless bastard, come at me if you dare, I'll beat you so badly your own mother won't recognize you!"
"Come here! I'll beat you to death!"
Ian held him down tightly: "Shut up, shut up! The boss hasn't said anything, what are you talking about?"
He had never seen such crazy fans.
“Of course.” Joseph completely ignored Neil, his heart filled with joy. “In the future, the Venus Group will definitely prioritize the Laurent family. Mr. Caesar, please trust my abilities.”
Joseph's contribution to the development of the O Alliance to its current scale is indeed indispensable.
So even though he hadn't shown his face for a long time, he successfully turned several high-ranking officials against him.
“Yes, I’m a businessman,” Xize smiled. “But I only like to do business with smart people. In my eyes, you’re not a smart person.”
Joseph was taken aback, unable to understand: "Mr. Caesar, what are you doing...?"
Caesar didn't look at him, but turned his head and called out softly, "Kil."
Kier Laurent, the vice president of Laurent Bank, stood up and walked onto the stage: "Master."
Xize spoke up: "How did you do with the task I assigned you?"
Kiel bowed respectfully: "Reporting to Master, as you wished, all funds transferred by Mr. Joseph Bunker have been frozen and transferred to the Venus Group's general ledger."
"All other outflowing funds have also been recovered. These are the terms and conditions; please review them, Master."
Upon hearing this, not only everyone else, but even Joseph himself felt a buzzing in his head.
He felt as if he had been punched right in the face, unable to stand up straight, and his face instantly turned pale.
Didn't they say they were going to freeze Venus Group's funds?
Why was his personal account frozen?!
Especially for netizens watching the live stream.
【What kind of operation is this?】
[Oh no, is this some kind of Infernal Affairs movie? I don't understand it anymore.]
Although I don't understand it, that doesn't stop me from thinking that Joseph is an idiot.
"Hmm, not bad," Xize said encouragingly, then turned around and said, "Here you go."
Fu Yun raised a deep eyebrow and drawled, "Thanks."
Joseph watched helplessly as the share transfer document he had given to Caesar returned to Fu Yunshen's hands.
His brain completely shut down.
What happened?
What on earth is going on?!
Joseph stood stiffly on the platform, feeling like a ridiculous clown.
His face turned bright red; he was so embarrassed he wanted to disappear.
"You're welcome." Xize shrugged. "A bet's a bet, and I have to call you 'Big Brother'."
His voice came through the microphone and resounded throughout the entire venue.
The guests were stunned once again.
Joseph stared blankly at the devilishly handsome man, his face turning deathly pale in an instant, his voice trembling: "Impossible! This is impossible!"
The Venus Group and the Laurent family have always had a semi-hostile relationship, with the only point of intersection being a space carrier experiment.
If Fu Yunshen and Xize were on friendly terms, would Venus Group still have been suppressed during its development phase?!
“From now on, the Laurent family will only have one business partner.” Caesar said to the camera, “Venus Group will be an ally of the Laurent family from now on.”
Fu Yunshen turned his head slightly and glanced at the girl sitting in the VIP section.
His eyes were soft, with a hazy, dreamlike light.
After a moment, he withdrew his gaze and said lazily, "Venus Group will begin formal cooperation with the Laurent family. The cooperation project will be announced online later."
"!"
The conversation between the two completely ignited the international business community.
[A collaboration of the century! A collaboration of the century!]
The world's number one family and the world's number one conglomerate have partnered up—who else can compare?!
Upon seeing this, the head of the Taylor family, who was sitting in front of the television, turned pale with anger: "These two!"
Since the Taylor family has always been a business rival of the Venus Group, they naturally wouldn't attend the quarterly report meeting.
However, with two business giants gathered together, they naturally paid close attention.
But the Taylor family never expected that the Laurent family would join forces with the Venus Group!
How can they possibly fight back if things continue like this?
With the Patch family wiped out, the four major conglomerates of O Continent were already practically defunct.
The head of the Manson family is a racing fanatic who has stopped paying much attention to the business world in recent years.
As for the Bevan family, since the head of the Bevan family had only recently recovered from the poison, they had no intention of participating in these struggles.
That left only the Taylor family.
The head of the Taylor family could no longer contain his anger and slammed his fist on the table: "Damn it!"
He pondered for a moment with a somber expression, then summoned the butler and whispered a few words in his ear.
**
Inside the venue.
Neil was very proud: "Director Ian, the boss is really amazing, he managed to win over the Laurent family."
“Not the boss,” Ian shrugged. “It’s the boss’s wife.”
Neil: "?"
Joseph was taken away by the security guards.
The blow was too great; his eyes were glazed over, and he didn't even struggle.
A business power struggle ended in an extremely dramatic turn of events.
The host, his legs trembling, struggled to walk up: "The ball is now officially beginning, Mr. Fu, please."
Xize stroked his chin: "I want to draw one too."
He doesn't need to find a wife, but surely he can dance?
"Okay." Fu Yunshen said lazily, "You go first?"
Xize, intimidated by Ying Zijin's authority, coughed lightly and said, "Then let the elder go first."
Fu Yunshen glanced around, then extended his slender fingers.
"Please wait a moment!"
A voice suddenly rang out, interrupting the ball.
“According to the president, it would be better to give the opening dance to the engaged couple.” The speaker was the royal butler next to President James of J country. He smiled and said, “After all, our princess doesn’t really like her fiancé interacting with other women. She would be unhappy.”
Who is the fiancé of the princess of Country J?!
[Who else could it be but CEO Fu? Wow, a perfect match of a handsome, rich, and successful man and a beautiful, wealthy, and successful woman. I'm so envious.]
[I can see a wedding today? So exciting!]
Fu Yunshen paused, then calmly raised his eyes to look at James.
“Mr. Fu, we made an agreement back then.” James nodded to him. “Now that everyone is here, it’s quite convenient. Mr. Fu and Catherine, shall we get engaged?”
