Jiang Yi walked directly towards the high platform after entering the plaza.
Seeing that Jiang Yi had personally arrived, Dong Rui immediately came over to report the situation.
"Everything is ready now, just waiting for you!" Dong Rui said.
Jiang Yi nodded, then checked his watch and found that there were still two full hours before the conference began.
These people who came to attend the conference were too early.
But it wasn't surprising; everyone was very enthusiastic about such an opportunity to make money.
"Mr. Jiang, should we start now, or wait a bit longer?" Malantuo asked Jiang Yi.
"We'll start when the time comes. The time was set by us, so we must adhere to the scheduled time and not be disorderly!" Jiang Yi stated.
Malantuo nodded.
Since there were still two hours left, Jiang Yi and the Great Lord Barre chatted and drank tea while they had nothing else to do.
The crowd below had already begun to size up Jiang Yi and couldn't help but start discussing.
"Is he that divine physician Jiang Yi from China? He looks so young!"
"So what if he's young? No matter how young, he's still someone with real abilities. Giant ginger has caused a disaster in the four states, and Mr. Jiang has developed incredibly effective medicines and cosmetics from it, turning waste into treasure!"
"This kind of skill is not something ordinary people can achieve!"
"Giant ginger was rampant and worthless, but in Mr. Jiang's hands, it transformed into highly popular medicines and beauty products!"
"Following Mr. Jiang and Tian Sheng Group is sure to lead to great fortune!"
...
The discussions from the crowd continued to rise.
Not one of them wanted to miss this opportunity to get rich.
At this moment, in the Great Lord's mansion of Dongmeng Province.
The Great Lord of Dongmeng Province was leisurely sitting on the sofa in the hall, drinking coffee and watching television.
"What kind of garbage programs are these?" The Great Lord of Dongmeng Province cursed, then picked up the remote control and changed the channel.
Soon, the television showed a live broadcast from the central plaza.
"Dear viewers, I am now reporting on a grand event happening in the central plaza!"
"According to reliable sources, this Giant Ginger Conference is personally hosted by Mr. Jiang, the boss of Tian Sheng Group!"
"Giant ginger has caused a disaster in the four states, and Mr. Jiang has developed medicines and beauty products with astonishing efficacy. Tian Sheng Group is now seeking cooperation with companies in the pharmaceutical and medical aesthetics industries of the four states!"
"If this cooperation is successful, Mr. Jiang Yi will drive the economic development of the four states, and the economic forces of the four states will also be reshuffled!"
...
The reporter on the news spoke eloquently.
The Great Lord of Dongmeng Province, seeing the bustling crowds in the central plaza on television, filled with bosses from the pharmaceutical industries of the four states, felt restless!
He had previously thought that this Giant Ginger Conference was just a small affair and that Tian Sheng Group would not have the ability to drive the economic development of the four states.
But seeing this scene, he started to panic!
The economic competition between the four states was extremely fierce, and Dongmeng Province had always ranked first.
However, if Dongmeng Province missed this opportunity, not only would its leading economic position be lost, but it might even fall to the bottom.
"Secretary!" The Great Lord of Dongmeng Province put down his coffee and called out towards the hall.
A moment later, the secretary walked in from outside.
"Is what's being broadcast on the news true?" the Great Lord of Dongmeng Province asked.
"It's true, I've checked. Tian Sheng Group indeed has the capability to drive the economic development of the four states."
"I think you should go in person, Your Excellency, to secure more cooperation opportunities for Dongmeng Province!"
"Great Lord Barre of Ximeng Province has already personally arrived. This matter is definitely not fake!" the secretary said.
The Great Lord of Dongmeng Province frowned, feeling very regretful.
This was because Malantuo had approached him last night, hoping he would attend today's Giant Ginger Conference, but he had directly refused.
If he changed his mind now and scurried over, it would be too embarrassing!
The Great Lord of Dongmeng Province was currently hesitating whether to go with thick skin.
Just then, exclamations came from the television.
"Dear viewers, am I seeing things? Even the Great Lords of Nanmeng Province and Beimeng Province have personally arrived!"
"Today's Giant Ginger Conference is simply an unprecedented grand event in the four states!"
"Three Great Lords from the four states are already here, only the Great Lord of Dongmeng Province is absent!"
"It seems that in terms of future economic rankings, Dongmeng Province will become the last place, as Dongmeng Province has completely missed this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!"
...
The reporter continued to speak profusely.
The Great Lord of Dongmeng Province, sitting in front of the television, knitted his brows.
Now, he no longer cared about face and directly shouted at his secretary, "Prepare the car immediately, I have to get there quickly!"
"Yes!" The secretary responded and hurried out to prepare the car.
Seeing that three Great Lords had gone, the Great Lord of Dongmeng Province began to panic.
Although he was a person who cared about face, he could no longer manage that now.
This was no longer a matter of face.
If the Great Lord of Dongmeng Province didn't go, Dongmeng Province's economy would definitely be the bottom-dweller among the four states in the future.
At that time, his position as Great Lord would surely be shaken.
At this moment, on the high platform of the central plaza.
Jiang Yi was startled, not expecting the Great Lords of Beimeng Province and Nanmeng Province to personally come.
Jiang Yi had already guessed their intentions with considerable accuracy.
After exchanging pleasantries with them, Jiang Yi began to chat.
The Great Lord of Beimeng Province and the Great Lord of Nanmeng Province were both overlords in their respective regions.
When speaking with Jiang Yi, their tone was full of arrogance, giving a feeling of condescension.
This made Jiang Yi very unhappy; he was helping them develop their economy, yet they treated him with such an attitude.
Jiang Yi had no intention of indulging them.
"Mr. Jiang, you must give us fifty cooperation slots for Beimeng Province. This is my minimum requirement!" The Great Lord of Beimeng Province said to Jiang Yi.
"You must also give us fifty cooperation slots for Nanmeng Province, no more, no less!" The Great Lord of Nanmeng Province also said to Jiang Yi.
Their tone was completely that of giving Jiang Yi orders, not discussing with him.
Jiang Yi directly let out a cold laugh.
Seeing this, Great Lord Barre from not far away showed a look of schadenfreude.
He knew Jiang Yi's temper. These two fellows were so arrogant the moment they arrived, Jiang Yi would definitely not give them a good look. They were asking for trouble.
If they couldn't put down their pride and negotiate with Jiang Yi properly, they wouldn't get any benefits at all, and Jiang Yi wouldn't give them a single cooperation slot.
"Two Great Lords, it doesn't seem like I'm the one begging you!"
"Without the cooperation of the pharmaceutical companies from Beimeng Province and Nanmeng Province, I can still make a lot of money!"
"With the way you're speaking to me, it seems we have nothing to discuss. Two Great Lords, I'm afraid you'll have to leave!" Jiang Yi said directly.
