Loss.
Tang Qing has considered it too.
But he can afford to lose.
Japan, well...
Can muck around to whatever extent, it might just result in a comeback among the ’remnants’. With the system, at worst there will be setbacks, never a total collapse. Pushed into a corner, Tang Qing wouldn’t mind playing an even bigger game.
After all, no one knows it has anything to do with him.
Tsk, tsk.
This feeling of operating from behind the scenes.
It’s exhilarating.
Compared to Japanese consortiums, the strategy for South Korean chaebols is different. ERV is about integration, Japan is about rising, South Korea is about overturning. Although the chaebols there are entrenched, they lack an Imperial Family.
Which means.
Only need to apply a little force to stir things up.
Heaven itself can be overturned.
Therefore.
It seems South Korea, the easiest to operate, will be the last one to be accomplished. From last year until now, all sorts of scandals among various chaebols and families in South Korea have been ongoing, accumulating enough disappointment and dissatisfaction among the local populace.
Pushing from outside the wall.
It’s almost impossible to push through.
But with insiders responding, it gets a lot easier.
However.
Let’s allow those South Korean chaebols to enjoy their last comfortable year. Since South Korea also celebrates the Spring Festival, it’s one of the holidays with the most time off. With that in mind.
The battle will begin after the New Year.
...
The next day.
Morning.
Eight fifteen.
Tang Qing and the delegation convened.
Heading toward the not-so-distant main conference hall, with too many participants, those nearby walk and those far take the tram, and the snow on the roads has already been cleared, surfaces dried by blowing air.
Very considerate.
Walking on the road.
Tang Qing activates the recognition function of his glasses, and immediately, most of the people in front of him were tagged with dark colors. According to status, Little Two gives everyone color coding, with ordinary people being faint white.
The higher the status.
The more important.
The more unique.
The color becomes darker.
Different professions come with greatly varied colors.
Businessmen.
Politicians.
Military and police.
Each different, Tang Qing has never seen such a high density of dark colors. Each person, as soon as he looks over, their main information instantly pops up above their head.
Not government officials from various countries.
Then it’s corporate executives.
Good grief.
Too many to take in. Out of sight, on the mountaintops around, Tang Qing spots a large number of deep yellow tags, at least two hundred people, all Swiss elite marines.
Even.
On both sides of the mountain, the presence of control weapons was detected, and above the clouds, Swiss fighter jets patrolled. During the conference, Davos airspace enters into controlled airspace.
"Where is Bill Gates?" Tang Qing asks with Nerve Telekinesis.
Instantly.
All the people in front of him turn semi-transparent, not just people but houses, trees all the same. And amidst countless faint shadows, a deep red figure appears in view.
Bill Gates.
Microsoft Chairman.
Distance route: 1808 meters.
It seems.
He’s about to enter the conference hall.
Straight away.
Tang Qing turns off the glasses. Many people recognize Tang Qing on the road, but they don’t come over to greet him. Without an intermediary, they won’t easily get cozy with others, especially not in today’s setting.
...
In front of the venue.
Hundreds of media outlets have gathered.
In front of an expensive camera, the host of Comet Video News Channel, Kuang Mao, is broadcasting live to the domestic audience. Although it is now past two in the morning domestically, the live broadcast continues, because there are always people watching.
News.
Is also about timeliness.
"...We can see that as the opening time of this year’s Davos conference approaches, political figures, executives, and tycoons from various countries are arriving one after another. We just saw Bill Gates."
"We’ve also seen the world’s richest man, the current Chairman of ERV, as well as the Secretary-General of the United Nations, the former Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, the Secretary of State of the United States, the Prime Minister of Japan, and the Deputy Prime Minister of Russia, among others. They will discuss the theme of the annual meeting..."
"..."
Next to Kuang Mao.
Is a Swiss female journalist.
"Last year, one could hardly see snow in Davos, which raised concerns about global warming. This year, the performance of global stock markets since the beginning of the year has reminded attendees that the U.S. subprime storm is still expanding."
"..."
"High oil prices, a weakening dollar, rising food prices, widening trade deficits, and rising domestic protectionism have all made the U.S. economy, already mired in the subprime crisis, even more troubled."
"..."
"There is news that the U.S. Secretary of State plans to explain the Middle East peace issue at the opening ceremony of the Davos Annual Meeting. However, financial market turbulence is bound to dominate the discussions on the first day of the meeting."
"..."
"Issues such as aid to Africa and eradication of poverty will still be among the themes of this Davos Annual Meeting. The future role of the United States in these areas has been listed on the meeting’s agenda and is sure to become one of the hottest topics."
"..."
"Despite the presence of many heavyweights, one should not expect the conference to make any decisions. The conference is meant to inspire ideas, with the hope that participants can move in the same direction when they return to their respective positions."
"..."
Outside the venue.
Various media are expressing their outlook and speculations on the forum.
Suddenly.
Alerted by the cameraman.
Kuang Mao immediately made way.
The camera directly focused on the approaching crowd, with Tang Qing and others appearing on the live broadcast. "You can see, the Huaxia delegation is arriving at the venue, led by Huaxia’s..."
"At this conference, Director Tang will be a guest speaker at the opening ceremony and will give a speech. We will have a live video broadcast from inside the venue, and the audience will also be able to watch a live photo feed..."
The appearance of Tang Qing.
Has caught not only Kuang Mao’s attention.
Journalists from other countries also received the tip, turning their cameras excitedly towards him, both introducing and curiously scrutinizing this individual soon to be ranked second on Forbes’ list of the world’s richest.
Suddenly.
Tang Qing became the center of attention.
He could feel that at least fifty cameras were following him. Glancing from the corner of his eye, he saw Kuang Mao and others with the Comet Group logo, and he nodded slightly to Kuang Mao as a greeting.
As for the other media.
Tsk.
They’re not mine anyway.
...
After identity verification.
They entered the venue.
No need for a guide; just follow the crowd.
Soon.
After turning a corner.
They arrived at the main conference hall of the Davos Forum.
This is a massive conference hall with densely packed seats on a sloped floor. Here, there are no name tags, no fixed seating; you sit wherever you want, and those who come late can only stand.
This is a feature of Davos.
Even.
You might get pushed into the aisles.
Such regulations have caused many complaints, but rules are rules. After so many years, people still come. Partly for this reason, the conference does not allow personnel to bring their entourage into the hall.
Fortunately.
They arrived quite early.
Although it’s not officially stated, there are still unspoken rules.
Those of higher status sit at the front consciously, and others move towards the back. Otherwise, if a tycoon sits in the front row with national politicians and heads of state at the back, such disorder would certainly earn a lesson from others.
Therefore.
Like going to University classes, the rush at the beginning is not for the front row but the last, gradually moving forward, leaving the first few rows for the ’top students.’ Wealthy individuals would rather stand than dare sit there.
And Tang Qing.
Naturally followed the delegation to the front.
