The annual Global Electronic Technology Industry Summit was held at the Santa Fe Hotel in Beach City. All the companies
invited were top technological companies from around the world. The H Group and the KCL Group were without a doubt the two
biggest companies there. They drew a lot of media attention.
However, the H Group had been in trouble recently. There were rumors that the cooperation between the H Group and the KCL
Group had not been finalized, resulting in the H Group’s largest investment, the G6 chip phone project, being delayed for nearly
half a year. Their major production lines and sales lines were thus non operational. The H Group’s performance had declined for
two quarters in a row, resulting in heavy losses.
To make matters worse, a group of investment companies led by the Murphy family seemed to have heard some rumors and
were divesting. H Group’s most prestigious R&D team was also showing signs of breaking up. The company was going through
a turbulent time right now and was showing signs of collapsing.
Therefore, today’s Global Electronic Technology Industry Summit was quite important for the H Group. It would determine the
power distribution of the electronic technology industry in Beach City, and even the entire world, for the next decade.
“Will Murphy’s Investment Group really divest from the H Group?”
“Can the H Group still reach an agreement with the KCL Group?”
“Can the H Group weather the crisis and maintain top spot in the industry?”
These questions would be answered in this summit.
Reporters were already waiting outside the hotel early in the morning, eager to report live from the summit.
However, the entry threshold for the summit was very high. Not everyone in the electronic technology field was qualified to enter.
Even the media members could only wait outside the hotel.
Flowers and red carpets were laid out all the way to the parking lot. Big shots in the industry appeared one after another.
A Lincoln limousine pulled up to the red carpet. Reporters swarmed over, excitedly pressing their camera shutters. The
onlookers were also talking excitedly among themselves.
“Look, I think that’s the Murphy family’s car. I wonder if Murphy’s Investment Group will continue to cooperate with the H Group
after the summit.”
“I think they will. Recently, both families have been discussing a marriage alliance, but for some reason, we haven’t heard much
progress...”
“Whether they’ll continue to cooperate depends entirely on the Murphy family’s eldest daughter. After all, she’s Murphy’s
Investment Group’s only heir!”
The doorman respectfully bent down to open the car door. The people who got down from the car were none other than Stefan in
an elegant suit and Seraphina in an expensive gown.
The two of them got out of the car one by one. Seraphina took Stefan’s arm, and they proudly walked into the venue amidst
flowers, applause, and envy.
Their joint appearance brought the atmosphere at the venue to a climax. The non-stop camera flashes almost turned night into
day.
Their appearance no doubt signaled to the outside world that the H Group and Murphy’s Investment Group were in a
“honeymoon period”. Their relationship was fine and they would keep cooperating in the future. The H Group and the Hunt family
would still be the leading family in Beach City!
Stefan and Seraphina arrived at the meeting. They were warmly welcomed by everyone in attendance. The leaders of various
groups came forward to greet them and to chat.
Seraphina looked like a future wife of the Hunt family already, and maybe even the future lady of the Hunt household. She
socialized with everyone gracefully, occasionally leaning close to Stefan to show their intimate relationship to the outside world.
“Hahaha, you flatter us, Mr. Dickens. Stefan and I are the younger generation. We still have a lot to learn from you and the other
elders...”
Seraphina skillfully touched glasses with a leading industry figure. She then whispered to Stefan, “Like we agreed upon, today,
you will announce our relationship, while I, as the heir of Murphy’s Investment Group, will announce the news of our continued
cooperation.”
Stefan said coldly, “I don’t care if the Murphy family wants to continue the cooperation, but you better keep your word and
destroy everything like you promised. I don’t want to see those things ever again.”
“Oh, don’t worry, we’ve been friends for so many years. You can trust me...”
Seraphina was somewhat displeased. “You’re only concerned about her? What happens today may decide the life and death of
the H Group. Don’t you care about that at all?”
