Chapter 785: Entering Political Sphere In Italy

Chapter 785: Entering Political Sphere In Italy



A couple of days later, the long-awaited moment arrived. In a grand hall adorned with red and gold tapestries, the King of Spain stood on a dais, presiding over a formal ceremony that would change the business landscape of the nation. The announcement echoed across the hall, filled with influential figures from the business and political worlds, as the King formally awarded the prestigious national contracts to Bella's Elegance Global, Jessica's Innovatex Solutions, and Emma's Lumina Lifestyle. It was the culmination of careful planning, and Wang Jian's strategies had set everything into motion.

Dressed in elegant yet businesslike attire, Bella, Jessica, and Emma each approached the King to receive their contracts in person. Bella moved first, a confident smile on her lips as she received the elegantly bound contract from the King. Her gaze shifted ever so subtly to Wang Jian, who stood nearby, watching with satisfaction as his vision unfolded.

"Congratulations, Miss Bella," the King said, giving her a nod of respect. "Your company, Elegance Global, has demonstrated the highest standards of excellence, and we are pleased to have you spearheading this significant partnership."

Bella inclined her head gracefully, her voice smooth as silk. "Thank you, Your Majesty. I assure you that Elegance Global will honor the responsibility with utmost dedication."

Jessica was next, her confident stride as she approached the King holding the ceremony's attention. The King handed her the contract for InnovateX Solutions, nodding in recognition of her achievements. "Miss Jessica, InnovateX Solutions has impressed us with its commitment to innovation and sustainable progress. We look forward to the future you'll help us create."

Jessica's eyes sparkled with pride as she accepted the contract, her hand firm in the King's. "It's an honor, Your Majesty. InnovateX is committed to bringing only the best to the table."

Finally, Emma stepped forward, her composure calm yet elegant as she accepted the contract for Lumina Lifestyle. The King's approval was clear. "Miss Emma, Lumina Lifestyle's vision for enhancing our way of life is both promising and inspiring. We are eager to see the impact your work will have on our nation."

Emma smiled, bowing slightly. "Thank you, Your Majesty. Lumina Lifestyle is prepared to offer every support needed."

Each of them knew that these contracts, though forged through official channels, were made possible because of Wang Jian's calculated approach. The foundation had been laid in the King's own chamber, with his Queen, Lady Soffa, making sure to impress upon him the benefits of aligning with these companies. She had even persuaded the King to weaken the influence of Devereux International, reducing their control and rights within Spain. These restrictions were enacted swiftly, diminishing the once-strong hold of Devereux's influence.

Behind the scenes, Soffa's whispers in the King's ear had proven to be a powerful weapon. She had convinced him that the Devereux conglomerate's overwhelming power posed a risk to Spain's autonomy, strategically recommending that the royal family regain authority over certain sectors dominated by Devereux International's allies. This step ensured a protective boundary around Wang Jian's enterprises, all while preventing Leon Devereux, who was primarily based in the United States, from suspecting any foul play.

Meanwhile, the Spanish branch of Devereux International, led by a local CEO, was entirely blindsided by the series of royal mandates. The CEO saw the measures as part of a nationalist movement rather than a targeted scheme. The executives' inability to foresee the changes brewing under Wang Jian's influence meant that they failed to recognize that the royal decisions were a direct boon to Elegance Global, Innovatex Solutions, and Lumina Lifestyle.

Wang Jian watched the proceedings unfold with a glint in his eye, his satisfaction deepened by the knowledge that Spain was just the first milestone. In his mind, the intricate threads of his strategy were already weaving themselves into a larger plan. He was fully aware that the real power in Europe lay beyond Spain's borders. Italy, Germany, and several other European nations were his next targets, and he intended to conquer their parliaments and sway their political parties, securing dominance across the continent.

Later that evening, Wang Jian gathered with Bella, Jessica, Emma, and his other confidantes, Charlotte and Sarah, in a luxurious suite overlooking the city. They raised their glasses in celebration, the gleaming contracts lying on the table between them.

"To our first victory in Europe," Wang Jian toasted, a smile playing on his lips.

Jessica leaned in, her eyes reflecting her excitement. "Spain is a huge win, Wang Jian. But you have your sights set on more, don't you?"

Wang Jian nodded, his gaze sharp. "Italy and Germany are next. The members of their parliaments, and those with political influence across the EU, will need our 'convincing' to see the value of our companies over others."

Charlotte, who had been studying the European political landscape alongside Sarah, added, "From what we've gathered, Italy's current economic climate is ripe for change. There's a strong movement toward prioritizing local businesses over international ones, which could be the perfect angle for Lumina Lifestyle. Their health-conscious policies would line up well with Italy's goals."

Emma's eyes sparkled with the prospect of expansion. "And Germany's focus on sustainable innovation aligns perfectly with InnovateX Solutions. If we can position InnovateX as an eco- friendly, innovation-driven company, their green party and pro-business leaders might back us over the competition."

Wang Jian placed his hand on the table, his fingers splayed over the contracts. "Exactly. But we need to start establishing connections with influential figures, finding those who are open to new alliances, and subtly persuading them to see the benefits of our companies."

Bella leaned closer, a mischievous look in her eye. "And how do you propose we make these connections?"

"With elegance and charm," Wang Jian replied, a sly smile curving his lips. "Each of you will meet with key members of their parties and influential stakeholders, impressing upon them our expertise and the benefits of aligning with us. I'll support you as needed, but it's essential they see each of you as independent leaders capable of reshaping the European business landscape."

Sarah raised her glass. "It's ambitious, but I wouldn't expect anything less from you, Wang Jian."

Their glasses clinked together as the group shared a silent understanding: each victory would add to their power, paving the way for an empire built not only on wealth but on strategic influence. Wang Jian's vision was no longer just a dream; it was becoming a reality, onen/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

country at a time.

"Antonella," he said, after a pause, "what would it take for someone with your influence and

passion to truly make a difference in Italy?"

She turned to him, surprised by the question. "Support from people who believe in change,

who want more than just promises. People who are willing to invest in the future."

Wang Jian's eyes sparkled. "Then perhaps InnovateX can be one of those supporters. But more importantly, I think you could bring a unique perspective to our projects."

She laughed, a light blush coloring her cheeks. "I'm not sure I'm the one you're looking for,

Mr. Wang."

"Oh, I think you are," he replied smoothly, his gaze unwavering.

Their brief yet intense conversation left a lasting impression on Antonella. She left the gallery

that evening contemplating Wang Jian's words, feeling a spark of excitement about the possibility of working alongside him.

Each of these women-Fiorella, Bianca, and Antonella-was captivated by Wang Jian's intelligence, his confidence, and the vision he presented for Italy's future. He invited them all to a private dinner at a villa he'd rented overlooking the rolling hills of Tuscany. The ambiance was perfect: candlelit tables, exquisite Italian cuisine, and a live string quartet playing soft, classical melodies. Each woman arrived separately, surprised to find the others present but immediately put at ease by Wang Jian's charm and warmth.

As the evening unfolded, Wang Jian skillfully navigated the conversation, addressing each

woman's interests and highlighting how his businesses aligned with their goals. He kept the atmosphere light, encouraging laughter and shared stories. He shared anecdotes from his own experiences, subtly impressing upon them the depth of his knowledge and ambition.

"Ladies," he said, raising his glass as the evening drew to a close, "Italy is at a crossroads, and I believe each of you has the potential to shape its future. Working together, we can achieve extraordinary things."

They toasted, each of them feeling the pull of his charisma, his unwavering confidence, and his belief in them. Wang Jian knew that by cultivating these relationships, he was sowing seeds that would bear fruit in the coming months. They might not hold the ultimate power,

but their voices were influential, and their networks extended through the country's political

circles.

Over the next few weeks, Wang Jian's connections with Fiorella, Bianca, and Antonella

deepened. They met privately to discuss various initiatives, each woman finding herself increasingly drawn to his vision. Wang Jian made sure to keep their interactions distinct, recognizing the unique qualities and aspirations that each woman held. He empowered them, offering advice on navigating the male-dominated political landscape and subtly positioning

himself as a confidant and mentor.

When they each began championing initiatives that aligned with the goals of InnovateX

Solutions, Elegance Global, and Lumina Lifestyle, it went largely unnoticed by the broader political sphere. To those on the outside, it simply looked like young parliamentarians exploring new ideas. But behind their newfound boldness was Wang Jian's guidance, his influence shaping their decisions and subtly steering them in his favor.

Through these relationships, he secured a foothold in Italy's political circles. His companies began receiving support from government programs, grants, and endorsements-each decision seemingly organic but crafted from his meticulous planning. As the months progressed, InnovateX Solutions was soon hailed as a major player in Italy's green energy sector, with Lumina Lifestyle gaining traction in wellness initiatives and Elegance Global establishing itself as a significant contributor to local fashion and cultural industries.

Wang Jian's conquest of Italy had begun not with the country's established powers but through its rising stars, young women whose ambition and beauty had made them ideal candidates for his strategy. By securing their loyalty and support, he now wielded influence over a part of the Italian government, with each woman advocating for his interests, unknowingly paving the way for his larger vision.

The stage was set for Wang Jian's expansion into Europe. With Spain and Italy now under his influence, he was already laying plans for Germany.
