    Consortium.


    A terrifying word.


    In the United States.


    The consortiums almost have control over everything; their clothing, food, shelter, and transportation are all inseparable from thepanies held by these consortiums. Yet for over a hundred years, thendscape of American consortiums has hardly changed.


    All are venerable family businesses.


    Everyone knows these families are rich enough to rival a nation; in theory, people shouldn’t yearn for another high and mighty lord, and the public should be vehemently resisting, but in reality the opposite is true.


    Consortium.


    Old consortiums.


    They have held the American economy for far too long.


    Decades, even centuries, without anyone being able to overthrow them, this doesn’t align with the American Spirit, nor does it fit the American Dream. It’s ss solidification, makingmon people not even dare to dream such dreams.


    But now.


    An ’hero’ has appeared.


    A short-time counterattack against the American consortiums.


    ERV.


    That tremendous worth from before convinced them that America has not lost the opportunity to create wealth.


    And now.


    ERV has made them believe that America hasn’t lost the channels for ss counterattacks. Atst, someone stood up, challenging the entrenched pattern that’ssted for a century; hence, thements on various websites went crazy.


    Support.


    Support.


    Still support.


    ERV now represents their dreams, aplishing what they couldn’tplete themselves.


    However.


    The American media controlled by capital isn’t so equitable, with always some people wanting to make trouble, ceaselessly debating this matter; but the more they debate, the more ufortable various consortiums be.


    Consortium.


    By nature, it carries the implication of ’monopoly’.


    They have too many priors.


    If these were discussed too extensively in the public domain, it would put them in a passive position. Even if they can manipte public opinion, they can’t stop the public sentiment. The experts’ reasons for opposing ERV are the same reasons people question their existence.


    Just like that.


    But within two weeks.


    The rted debates came to an abrupt halt in major media outlets.


    Can’t debate.


    Debate any further.


    There might be protests sparked.


    The major consortiums have kept such a low profile over the years exactly because they fear this kind of widespread debate questioning their existence—if it’s made too big of a deal, and happens too frequently, it will be troublesome,


    Frequent suppression can easily lead to bacsh.


    But.


    Public questioning has stopped.


    However, the private actions continued unabated.


    Yet, the lobbying firms supported by hefty funds from ERV were not fruitless; on many issues, some chose to muddy the waters, after all, the chairman of ERV is ’one of their own,’ and ERV is a purely Americanpany.


    American pride.


    It’s tough to take action against.


    Therefore.


    The major consortiums hesitated.


    Then chose to sit down to negotiate, as within them, there were voices from the families feeling that previously they had mainly focused on traditional sectors, now the emergence of a new era of consortium could be seen as not entirely bad.


    They attempted reconciliation.


    Nevertheless.


    There remained unresolved issues, such as limiting the industries ERV could enter, restructuring the equity of its industries, and ensuring its actions were in line with the major consortiums.


    Many disagreements.


    There seemed to be an impasse in the negotiations.


    Therefore.


    That’s why Ge Feng said this.


    Now is a crucial moment for the ERV consortium to take shape. To the average person, things seem calm and tranquil, but the Ge Family sees tempestuous undercurrents, unable to grasp the situation, which is why they reminded Tang Qing to be cautious.


    Don’t get involved lightly.


    Those people.


    Are not easy to deal with.


    Ge Feng saw chaos, but Tang Qing saw things more and more clearly—the major consortiums realized they couldn’t extinguish the fire that is ERV; even if they could, the cost would be unimaginably high, and internally, they have already started to waver.


    This is also due to other ERV shareholders exerting their influence.


    American consortiums.


    It has been solidified for too long.


    These emerging Inte giants not only want to be wealthy individuals; they also want to make their own voices heard. Therefore, each of them supports their own legitors and political figures.


    And they each have their own lobbying firms.


    However,


    none of them had the guts to form a consortium. Now that ERV is leading the way, they’re naturally happy, although it means following ERV’s lead in the future. With organization, it’s much moreforting than being adrift like duckweed.


    Forming their own consortiumter?


    These people stillck the courage, as they can’t guarantee theirpanies will always make money—times change too quickly. It’s better to find a big tree to enjoy the shade under, and let ERV handle the work of dealing with other consortia.


    Extremely satisfied.


    And this,


    is just a part of the forces that ERV has attracted recently. In addition to the major Intepanies, many newly rising families,panies, and giants from other countries are included, which is why the old consortia have been so quick to sit down and talk.


    If things go well,


    there will be results in the first half of next year.


    And that result,


    is not being recognized by the old American consortia.


    But ERV obtaining a full set of ’consortium entry tickets’--- to formally establish its own support forces in various parts of the United States. Including in the US Congress, local parliaments, the military, and other rted departments.


    As well as various rights in other areas.


    A consortium,


    is not just about having a bank.


    It also needs a matching series of rights, and that’s exactly why the old consortia do not wee new ones, because any new consortium joining will affect the power structure that they have.


    At that time,


    ERV,


    will be a true top-tier force in America.


    ...


    In the afternoon,


    Tang Qing and Ma Yun stepped out.


    The others stayed in the vi.


    As members of the Huaxia delegation, they naturally need to meet with the other delegations that have just arrived, to discuss the itinerary for theing days, and to get to know each other and establish rtionships.


    On this asion,


    the person leading the team is as significant as in previous years.


    They’re staying not far away,


    at a five-star hotel by Lake Davos. Just a short walk around theke, and due to the many political figures staying inside, no one but hotel guests like Tang Qing and Ma Yun are allowed in.


    Reaching the third floor,


    they saw the delegation members in a small conference room.


    "Hehe, now everyone has arrived," said the team leader with a beaming smile.


    "Sorry for beingte," Tang Qing hurriedly said.


    "No problem, we’ve just arrived too. We’ve had some fast food; where are you staying? Is it far?" The leader looked at Tang Qing with admiration in his eyes. There are not many entrepreneurs from Huaxia who are recognized by the world.


    Baidu.


    Penguin.


    Their scope of business has doomed them to seek survival solely within the Huaxia market.


    But Ali,


    its philosophy and model are inherently of world-ss corporate material, a guest of honor weed by all countries. Now it has indeed achieved positive results, with Ali’s market value in the hundreds of billions of dors and still rising.


    And Tang Qing,


    hispanies all aim to face the world.


    They are pirs of the nation.


    The two individuals present are friends, not rivals, which is very fortunate. Otherwise, being partial to either side in some decisions would be difficult and awkward.


    "Just across theke, a friend’s ce," Tang Qing replied.


    "Oh."


    They didn’t mind.


    "Alright, now that everyone is here, I will just say a few words. The main purpose of the Forum, as in previous years, is to voice out Huaxia’s perspective and demonstrate our developmental philosophy of Huaxia."


    "If we can promote some investment cooperation, that would be great, but we won’t force it. You all represent Huaxia; there are things you shouldn’t say and things you shouldn’t do."


    "..."


    Indeed, it was very brief.


    It took only three minutes to finish speaking.


    Because they all had a meeting beforeing, this meeting was just a brief gathering before the event.


    "Alright, you all can go back to your own business." Afterwards, the team leader kept Tang Qing and a few other heavyweight individuals, including the President of ICBC from Huaxia.


    They had never met before,


    And they also wanted to get to know Tang Qing better.
