Chapter 588 - The Plight of North Qiong (2/2)

Over a thousand companies together could do anything and even the European countries would be unable to resist.

“Of course, there’s always a solution.”

Viscount York suddenly said, “A distinguished guest will be here very soon. If North Qiong Corp can get his support, there’s hope to convince the officials of the European Union.”

“A distinguished guest? Who?” An Ya wondered.

Those present were already top figures in Europe. Someone even more powerful would be someone who could dominate and manipulate all the European countries.

“You’ll know soon.”

Viscount York gave a mysterious smile.

Suddenly, there was a commotion at the door.

A brawny, blonde young man in a fas.h.i.+onable outfit entered with a beaming smile like a movie star. The arrogant politicians also went over to greet him respectfully.

“Welcome, our honorable Mr. Lance.”

“Last time I met you was in the annual meeting at Wall Street. The Vice President of Goldman Sachs was there with you.”

“Eddie, I heard that the Councillor you supported has been elected as the Governor of Utah. Congratulations!”

Earl Downey, Kirkel and Brad acted respectfully as if they were talking to the Crown Prince.

“Who is he?” An Ya asked.

“Eddie Lance, the current president of the American Golf a.s.sociation. His girlfriend is Christine, the movie star. You should have heard of her,” Viscount York said.

“You mean, the Lance Family of the United States?”

An Ya gasped and looked at the man surrounded by people.

“Who’s the Lance Family?” Chen Fan said with curiosity.

People around him immediately looked at Chen Fan with an awkward face. Viscount York was also shocked, seeing that Chen Fan had never heard of the Lance Family. It was like saying that a British citizen didn’t know about Queen Elizabeth.

“The Lance Family is one of the oldest families in the United States. Their family members had once fought in the War of Independence alongside with the founding fathers of America. They were among those who signed on the ‘Declaration of Independence.’ It has a long history of almost three centuries up till now and is regarded as the Uncrowned King. Their family has a very high status in the American business industry and they are the sponsors behind many large consortiums like Citibank, JPMorgan Chase and Goldman Sachs,” Viscount York explained.

He wasn’t showing a smile anymore, thinking that Chen Fan was surely a country b.u.mpkin.

“Some say that the Lance Family is ma.s.sively influential in political circles as well. The current Deputy Speaker of the United States House of Representatives is also one of themm” An Ya whispered.

“Okay,” Chen Fan replied indifferently.

He had gained a status higher than many countries and was on an equal footing with the five superpowers. Even though he was still weaker than those five superpowers that had nuclear weapons, his power had surpa.s.sed countries like j.a.pan, Germany and India. No matter how powerful the Lance Family was, they couldn’t represent the entire United States.

Chen Fan would pay more attention if the leader of the Lance Family came, but a descendant was nothing to him.

“Is this beautiful lady the CEO of North Qiong Corp?”

Eddie Lance saw An Ya and his eyes twinkled. He pushed through the crowd and approached them with a gla.s.s of wine.

An Ya had always been gorgeous but she had become as elegant as fairies in Asian myths since she started cultivating and drinking the Yun Wu Spirit Water. People like Eddie cared more about inner beauty rather than appearance and he was immediately fascinated by An Ya.

“Yes, Mr. Lance.”

An Ya frowned slightly but still kept a smile on her face.

“I know that North Qiong Corp is one of the largest companies in China, but it’s still not as developed as Apple, Microsoft and Google of the United States,” Eddie shrugged and said with an overbearing voice.

“Of course, the Vitality Serum is also a good product, but it’s difficult to push it into the European and American markets without the support from some big cheese.”

“So, Mr. Eddie, do you have any suggestions?” An Ya’s eyes brightened and asked quickly.

“Well, why don’t we have a drink first. Let’s not talk about business at a party.” Eddie brought two gla.s.ses over and gave one to An Ya.

The gla.s.s was two palms high and inside was some high-purity Hennessy XO, which was enough to make a brawny man drunk.

An Ya hesitated.

She never drank, not even in China.

“Why? Miss An, you’re not being sincere enough?”

Eddie’s face turned dark immediately.
