Front row.
Tang Qing took his seat with a sense of entitlement, and nobody else found it inappropriate. The conference, also known as the 'Capitalist Club', catered to those as wealthy as Tang Qing, and sitting at the front was not out of place.
Moreover.
Bill Gates and the Chairman of ERV were also seated in the front row.
No one dared to question their qualifications; one was a veteran guest of the forum and had long occupied the throne as the richest person, while the other was rising rapidly and had the potential to overthrow the established order to become the world's richest person from a nouveau riche consortium.
Both were extremely influential figures.
Many people looked at Tang Qing and then at the Chairman of ERV and couldn't help but anticipate what kind of fierce battle for the throne of the world's richest person would unfold between the two in the future.
This was not out of a perverse curiosity.
But a reality.
