The words that Jin Can had just said were constantly heard by all the evaluators. Although he had insulted Zhang Yitian, he had brought the evaluators along with him, so even if they did not have any other intentions, anyone who heard it would feel uncomfortable.
What's more, the one leading the crowd was Murong Wu?
Murong Wu could tell the standard of a person, but when Jin Can had appeared in his field of vision a dozen years ago, he had already expelled him from his team.
Murong Wu had already seen through Jin Can's character when it came to small matters like this.
He likes to be fussy and narrow-minded.
It wasn't that it couldn't achieve great things, but the chances of it happening were too low.
After a few contacts, Murong Wu had started to deliberately distance himself from this person. Later on, Murong Wu had followed the flow smoothly. From the second in command of a branch in the provincial capital, he had arrived at the head of the banking system in the province a few years ago.
However, Jin Can had some ability, the ability to flatter. He knew that he wouldn't be able to stand up for the leader here, so he started to cater to the second and third leaders.
Therefore, although Jin Can's advancement speed was very fast during this period of time, it was only for a short period of time.
Afterwards, his protective umbrella was transferred away, but he didn't manage to catch a ride. Plus, he had fought against Murong Wu quite a few times.
Now, without a backer, he was about to be transferred to the provincial bank, but the order had been cancelled by Murong Wu.
And this suppression lasted ten years.
After Murong Wu retired, Jin Can was very proud and happy. He even dared to act so arrogantly in front of Murong Wu again.
The reason why Murong Wu endured the past was because he didn't want to ask his acquaintances for help anymore.
But this time it was different, there was no need to ask anymore. Murong Wu thought to himself, if I want to get my hands on Jin Can, that's enough for me!
"Who's talking nonsense?" Murong Wu said in a deep voice, "Don't always boast and embarrass yourself here!"
Although Jin Can didn't like Murong Wu at all, on the surface, he still wanted to do it. Murong Wu's prestige in the provincial banking system might not even be equal to his current governor's.
Jin Can gave an embarrassed smile. He knew that Murong Wu was trying to humiliate him, but he turned his head and said, "That's right. It's just a grocery buyer. It's not good to come here and embarrass himself!" Old Leader Murong is right! "Young people like you are actually more ambitious than the heavens, thinner than paper, with no future ahead of you …"
"President Jin, I'm talking about you!" Murong Wu and the others had already walked up to him. He corrected them, "You don't even know if others are scolding you or not. You really don't know who is the one who is making a fool of himself!"
In the blink of an eye, Jin Can's face went from a red forehead to the base of his neck. He felt as if he had swallowed a cockroach, and his entire body felt uncomfortable.
Moreover, he didn't know how to continue like this at all.
It was too awkward. Everyone present felt awkward, and there wasn't even a single person who came forward to mediate.
Jin Can looked left and right, then looked at the people behind Murong Wu. They were basically familiar faces to him.
But no one was going to give him a way out.
There was no need to talk about the people around him. They did not have a high position and did not have any right to speak in front of Murong Wu. What about the judges behind Murong Wu? They were either Murong Wu's students or his old subordinates. They were very respectful to Murong Wu. With their current situation, how could they help him?
Murong Wu put on a straight face and humphed: "President Jin, it has been a few years since we last met, right? But why don't you have a brain? What do you have to be proud of? Are you superior to everyone else? Do you think so? That's interesting. "
Murong Wu turned his head to look at Zhang Yitian, and after smiling to show his goodwill, he led his group of people into the elevator.
When Murong Wu left, the atmosphere eased up by quite a bit. However, Jin Can's hatred didn't decrease in the slightest. Instead, it increased by quite a bit.
To publicly humiliate someone without a shred of face, wasn't this the same as making Jin Can the laughingstock of the province's banking system?
F * ck, you're not a gentleman if you don't get your revenge! Zhang and that old bastard Murong Wu, let's wait and see. One day, I will let you all know what a mistake it is to offend me. Jin Can thought to himself.
After a long while, the hall started to fill with more and more dilemmas. It was once again a noisy and chaotic scene.
There were less than 20 minutes left before the announcement of the results. Many people had nervous expressions on their faces.
However, even when they were worried about themselves, many of them did not forget to look towards Zhang Yitian's direction a few times. After that, they whispered to each other for a while, and then laughed sarcastically.
Before Jin Can became a laughing stock, Zhang Yitian had already become.
His company had been wiped out in the first round, this was definitely going to happen.
However, what many people did not understand was that, in truth, Zhang Yitian himself knew the outcome better.
You want to humiliate yourself?
Jin Can seemed to have repressed his hatred from a moment ago as he walked proudly to Zhang Yitian's side. He laughed and mocked: "Kid, I say, I won't even wait here, because your company has no hope at all. Don't you know that yourself? "Why are you still making a fool of yourself?"
Jin Can introduced the person beside him with a smile, "Look at this, Mr. Smith, President and CEO of Huaxing Technology, this is a company that our East Flower Market branch supports. Without mentioning anything else, just the size of this company is several times larger than your own!"
Zhang Yitian glanced at that person. He was around thirty years old, and his body was slender.
Hua Ying had also told Zhang Yitian about this company before. This was without a doubt, it was a new company that had not even been established for three years. After a few rounds of financing, the company's assets had already exceeded 100 million.
But the chief executive does not seem to have much skill.
The reason why he was able to successfully stop two rounds of investment was not because he was smart or capable, but because he had a good father.
His family business gave him 20 million yuan to start his business, and then two rounds of financing to keep him alive.
Hua Ying also said that there were two companies in East Flower City that had better talent and development than Hua Xing, but without exception, they failed.
The reason for this was probably only explained by this CEO and Jin Can.
Jin Can treated that person with utmost respect, acting like a lackey. If someone was willing to be a lackey, that person could either give them the rights or money.
[If I don't have any rights, then I have to be second.]
Zhang Yitian could see that there was something fishy going on, but this was a rule. It was not like there were none, but there were definitely very few people like him who wandered around without a rule.
It was obvious that the competition had lost a lot of fairness from the very beginning, while Zhang Yitian was somewhat worried about his future prospects.
Zhang Yitian laughed, he did not want to explain anything, especially to people like Jin Can.
He simply said, "If I fail, it's a matter of my ability. But what if I get rejected in the first round because President Jin recommended me?"
"Humph!" "Are you kidding? How could our Hua Xing Corporation lose? Shut your crow's beak! Do you really think that I'm here to make fun of you? "
Zhang Yitian chuckled: "I did indeed think that you were here to cause trouble!"
Time passed quickly, about ten minutes. The results were about to be announced, and many people were feeling even more uneasy.
In fact, the difference in strength wasn't that great, which was why it made people apprehensive. It was because this time, more than half of the people had to leave. No one could guarantee that they would be able to stay.
Someone started to smoke anxiously, and the staff of the bank immediately came over to stop them.
There was someone running towards the toilet in the channel. Sweat was still beading on his forehead.
After all, the final prize was a loan worth hundreds of millions of dollars. For companies like them who had just started out, but were selling their stalls to a large extent, this was a huge temptation.
What are the benefits of this loan? Too many! Firstly, there was no interest, and secondly, there was the support of the provincial government.
The most important thing was to solve the fundamental problem of capital. Not all companies could smoothly finance, so what if they couldn't? The only thing he could rely on was the loan.
Moreover, loans can solve a lot of problems, but they also dilute the investors' shares in a disguised way. This is a matter of killing two birds with one stone.
If someone didn't want the loan and wasn't excited about it, then there was no saving him.
Maybe Zhang Yitian was a special case and he really wanted this loan, but he wasn't as agitated or as worried as the others.
He calmly sat on the sofa and looked at the materials that Hua Ying had brought. They were all materials from popular companies.
Zhang Yitian not only took this opportunity to understand a few businesses, but he was also able to expand his horizons.
After another five minutes, a bank staff member walked out of the elevator. She clapped her hands and attracted everyone's attention, finally loudly saying, "Guests and candidates, the results of the first round will be announced very soon. Please follow me to the conference room and wait for the results!"
There were a total of thirty to forty people in the hall. Finally, they split into three groups and got on the elevator.
When they reached the twelfth floor, everyone squeezed into a meeting room that was over a hundred square meters.
In front of the meeting room, there was a podium three steps high, with five people sitting on it.
According to Hua Ying's introduction, these five people were all top leaders of the provincial government.
In the middle was the provincial governor, Shi Yuqing. On both sides were the secretary and vice president. This kind of faction was like the Elders Guild!
Shi Yuqing was originally Murong Wu's subordinate and half a disciple. He had fought with Murong Wu for more than ten years, and when Murong Wu handed over power, Shi Yuqing had specially promoted him to the vice president position. Finally, he had nominated him to take over his position.
Murong Wu was a great benefactor to him!
Shi Yuqing was not even fifty years old, and taking a look at the entire country, those who held such a position at this age already had great potential.
After everyone had sat down, Shi Yuqing cleared his throat, allowing the entire audience to quiet down.
His voice was a bit hoarse as he said, "It's the sixth time in the province's New Enterprise Grand Prix. I'm very glad that everyone has come here. This is an opportunity for the state to support new industries... "
After speaking a lot of pleasantries, Shi Yuqing finally got to the main point: "Since it's a competition, it's cruel, there must be victories and losses! Therefore, in the first round, half of the enterprises would be eliminated … "I'll announce the list next."
