CHAPTER 80: CHAPTER 80: JIANG CHENG’S SHOCKING GAMBLE!

As Park Renyong finished speaking, a burst of commotion arose in the venue, with everyone’s eyes turning towards Jiang Cheng in the VIP seats.

The experienced cameramen from the TV broadcast team, very appropriately, turned their lenses towards Jiang Cheng, allowing viewers watching the broadcast to see Jiang Cheng’s current demeanor.

Isle Master of Jade Island!

Father of the Flying Car!

Modern infrastructure tycoon!

A series of titles adorned Jiang Cheng, casting a radiant halo around him.

This was the world’s praise and acclaim for him, and naturally, an acknowledgment of Jade Island’s technological and infrastructural prowess.

A few days ago, when Jiang Cheng suddenly appeared at Bristol Port, the news of Jade Island’s upcoming participation in the yacht exhibition spread like wildfire, becoming a hot topic of conversation.

The reason for the broad influence of Jiang Cheng’s arrival was none other than the strong technological foundation of Jade Island.

Even though Jade Island had never revealed any plans to manufacture vessels, it was enough to spark the imagination of many.

Thus, ever since that day, people held high expectations for the exhibition vessels Jiang Cheng brought this time.

"Haha, Isle Master Jiang, it seems you’ve run into some trouble."

Seeing the fiery eyes of Park Renyong on the stage, Old Rockefeller, sitting beside Jiang Cheng, couldn’t help but display a schadenfreude-laced smile on his wrinkled face.

Today, David Rockefeller and Thomas Mellon arrived early at the venue and spoke briefly with Jiang Cheng, who was representing the exhibitors.

As Jiang Cheng’s partners, they were eagerly anticipating the products he brought and hoped for a sneak peek, but Jiang Cheng refused, leaving Old Rockefeller somewhat displeased.

Now, seeing Jiang Cheng face this blatant challenge, he naturally felt no sympathy and instead smiled mockingly.

"David, I think you’re underestimating our partner, right, Isle Master Jiang?"

Thomas Mellon, who was relatively decent, chose to trust his partner Jiang Cheng.

"Isn’t that right? Maybe this is an opportunity," Jiang Cheng nodded in agreement with Thomas Mellon’s words, then stood up and walked towards the stage with a smile.

At this moment, Mr. Sandro, the host, also came onto the stage. He glanced at Jiang Cheng, his eyes showing a hint of apology.

"Oh, dear Isle Master, I am truly sorry for what happened."

Evidently, according to Sandro’s original plan, Jiang Cheng wasn’t supposed to take the stage under such pressure, so he felt somewhat apologetic towards Jiang Cheng for what had just happened.

"It’s alright, Mr. Sandro. Although this isn’t my preferred way to take the stage, I think it won’t affect the presentation of what we have to show," Jiang Cheng smiled faintly, seemingly unbothered by Park Renyong’s rude actions, and continued, "Leave the rest to me."

When Jiang Cheng stepped onto the exhibition stage, the audience erupted in applause.

Meanwhile, this scene was transmitted through live TV broadcasts to all corners of the world.

All eyes were fixed on this helm of Jade Island.

"First of all, I must thank Mr. Sandro for giving me such a wonderful opportunity to showcase Jade Island’s latest technological achievements here. Of course, I also want to extend my apologies to Chairman Park. I’m very sorry for occupying a mooring spot originally meant for Samsung Heavy Industries at this exhibition."

Clap, clap!

As Jiang Cheng’s words fell, applause resounded once again in the venue.

Clearly, Jiang Cheng’s display of broad-mindedness was a hundred times more impressive than Park Renyong’s on stage.

Standing aside, seeing this scene, Park Renyong was so angry his nose was crooked.

In his view, Jiang Cheng was merely putting on a facade to embarrass him.

"Pretentious! Let’s see how long you can keep laughing!" Park Renyong glared at Jiang Cheng, ridiculing him silently.

While Park Renyong ground his teeth in anger, Jiang Cheng briefly introduced the vessel products he brought, before turning to Park Renyong and saying:

"Regarding Chairman Park’s request, I am happy to accept. However, as for the mode of demonstration, I think it would be best to have a real competition with Samsung Heavy Industries’ products. Perhaps this way, our esteemed guests would have a clearer view."

Boom!

As Jiang Cheng’s words fell, the venue almost erupted!

That’s right!

Jiang Cheng had not only accepted the challenge of Samsung Heavy Industries but also proposed a real water competition!

"Real competition?"

On the other side, upon hearing Jiang Cheng’s words, Park Renyong was slightly taken aback and widened his eyes, seemingly in disbelief.

This arrogant and ignorant young man, was he deaf?

Hadn’t he just said that the vessels Samsung Heavy Industries was exhibiting were high-tech products equipped with super-cavitating propellers? How conceited must he be to dare to compete with Samsung Heavy Industries’ products in a real demonstration?

After a moment of puzzlement, a surge of joy filled Park Renyong’s heart.

He had been wondering how best to showcase this epoch-making technological product from Samsung Heavy Industries, and since Jiang Cheng had volunteered, he saw no need to be polite.

In the next moment, Park Renyong nodded heavily in agreement in front of all the guests present.

Meanwhile, under Mr. Sandro’s urgent instructions, all television stations from around the world reporting on this exhibition began their hectic work.

The show was finally on!

A live broadcast of a vessel competition—a major event unprecedented in previous exhibitions. If this competition could be broadcast live, its impact would be absolutely astounding!

While the TV broadcast crew was busy, audiences around the world watching the live stream of the exhibition also erupted in excitement.

This was a real competition, with no manipulation.

One can almost imagine that if one side were to win this real match, the impact on its reputation would be astonishing!

This was a public slap in the face!

The losing side, after such a defeat watched by the world, wouldn’t have the face to continue in the shipbuilding industry, would they?

If there are any customers left, surely the pricing would be significantly affected.

So this competition was undoubtedly a heavy blow to the losing side!

For Samsung Heavy Industries, losing the competition would mean a collapse overnight of the reputation they’ve built over decades in the shipbuilding industry, obliterating the technological achievements of generations of researchers!

The same applies to Jade Island.

From the moment breathtaking primitive beauty was presented to the world, Jade Island sequentially introduced the epoch-making Flying Car and demonstrated impressive infrastructural capabilities.

All of this made Jade Island quickly become the world’s most famous technological paradise, admired by all.

And the technological products they produced were invariably seen as representations of cutting-edge technology.

However, if they were to lose today’s competition, the consequences would be clear; all the reputation Jade Island has accumulated could vanish today.

So this competition is truly a high-stakes gamble!

And no one can afford to lose!
