Chapter 33 Umbrella Development in North America

Carl and Ian's conversation continued.

"Although it's already past three in the morning, I still want to hear you introduce the current details of the branch.

After understanding the situation of the branch, I can tell you about the next development plan of Umbrella. "

Ian showed a very serious attitude, nodded from time to time, and then began to introduce:

“After preliminary investigation and considering multiple factors, the North American base was chosen to be located on the outskirts of Poughkeepsie, New York.

With the hard work of more than 2,000 workers day and night, the total construction progress of the base is close to 90%.

Meanwhile, at the Woolworth Building in lower Manhattan, 300 umbrella expatriates are temporarily working there on floors 79-81.

After completing the final work of base construction, these employees will join the branch base.

There are also some employees located in various continents in North America. We have one or more offices in most North American continents, each office is equipped with 3 to 10 employees.

And in accordance with the instructions of the Boss, we also invested in a number of mainstream radio and television stations such as CBS and ABC.

There is also the newspaper industry, with the New York Times, Washington Post, and Daily Bugle all acquiring small shares.

It even invested in mainstream social network platforms Twitter and Facebook.

After this kind of high-priced acquisition like a kid who wasted money, Umbrella has its own voice channels in mainstream news media and online news media.

Speaking of this, my subordinates had to interject.

Recently, an instant messaging software called WhatsApp has gained extremely strong momentum, and this company has the potential to become a unicorn company.

I think we can consider controlling or acquiring this emerging Internet company. "

Hearing the familiar name of WhatsApp, Karl recalled it carefully before he remembered it.

This company later became the world's second largest Internet instant messaging giant, with monthly active users exceeding 2 billion.

Now that we know about this kind of unicorn company, which is rare in a century, how can we easily miss it?

Karl decisively ordered: "Your suggestion is good. I will leave it to you to implement the WhatsApp company's acquisition plan."

Hearing that his suggestions were adopted by his boss, Ian felt full of energy. It was a rare blessing to be able to work with such a wise boss.

There seemed to be light in Ian's eyes, and he directly issued a military order and said: "This subordinate will never betray the trust of the Boss."

When Carl saw that he had casually adopted a suggestion, Ian was so excited that he felt a little funny.

The tool recommended by Red Queen is really easy to use!

Immediately afterwards, Karl asked about Umbrella's mainstream business, arms sales in North America.

Upon hearing this question, Ian's excited expression suddenly disappeared, and he looked somewhat self-reproached and said:

“Although the arms and weapons under Umbrella are superior to those on the international market in terms of quality and price.

However, when we develop our business in North America, we are always suppressed by an unknown resistance.

We even negotiated several business deals, but in the end, customers always canceled their orders due to various strange reasons. "

Hearing that arms sales in North America were slowing down, Carl had already expected this. After all, North America is the headquarters of SHIELD.

If Umbrella wants to enter the North American arms industry, it will naturally be blocked by S.H.I.E.L.D., both covertly and overtly.

Therefore, Carl did not blame Ian for his incompetence in doing things. He also comforted: "That is S.H.I.E.L.D.'s secret suppression. It is normal for arms sales to be cold."

Immediately afterwards, Karl talked about his next plan.

"The arms industry can develop slowly. I plan to build a private hospital and change the track to break the secret suppression of SHIELD.

This private hospital plans to have complete cures for two terminal diseases, AIDS and gastric cancer, while also providing life extension services.

In order to quickly establish the reputation of Umbrella, I plan to conduct a ‘super promotion’, and the specific plan is...”

After hearing the entire plan, not to mention the possibility of the plan, Ian looked a little scared.

"Vampires? Oh my god, does this legendary creature really exist? This is incredible."

Ian is just an ordinary person. If it weren't for his absolute trust in Carl, he would never believe that vampires really exist.

Karl didn't explain too much. After all, Ian was just a tool man. He just told him to do the preliminary work according to the order, and there was no need to think too much about anything else.

Ian quickly calmed down. As the person in charge of the North American base, he knew that Umbrella had steel armor technology and Umbrella's power was not weak.

Moreover, the umbrella company is an arms company. The person in charge of the branch base will not only have a big heart, but at least his mental endurance will not be bad.

After Ian calmed down, he patted his chest and said, "Blade, Eric Brooks, right? I know a few black market brokers, it shouldn't be difficult to find him."

Seeing that he already had an idea for the preliminary work, Karl nodded with satisfaction and said:

"The Red Queen is working hard to find traces of the senior members of the vampire clan. If the preliminary preparations go well, according to the plan, the first shot to eliminate the vampires will be fired in one week!

If you encounter trouble that can only be solved by force, you can seek help from the Red Queen.

I will authorize you to have the right to use two A1 steel armors in the North American base. "

Later, Carl asked the Red Queen to upgrade Ian's authority from B1 level to A1 level through a wireless headset.

Ian heard that his boss valued him so much and gave him the powerful steel armor, and all his worries disappeared.

"Thanks to the boss for taking care of me. I believe that as long as the A1 armor is deployed, those creatures in the sewers will probably have to lie down and tremble at the feet of the Umbrella."

Carl laughed, this is true.

Let alone the steel armor, vampires have too many weaknesses, they are afraid of garlic, sunlight, and silver weapons.

Moreover, holy water, the cross with the power of holy light, these church products are extremely restrained against vampires.

As the world's largest arms giant, Umbrella can easily produce some ultraviolet grenades, silver-plated bullets, and even transform ultraviolet medium- and short-range missiles.

No matter how many vampires there are, as long as the missiles are used to clean the ground, no matter how many vampires there are, they are just cannon fodder.

Using the steel armor to deal with vampires is really like using a cannon to kill a mosquito.

It was precisely because of the technology of mass-producing steel armor that Carl dared to go to war with the king of the dark world, the vampires.

The two talked for two hours. Outside the blinds, a few rays of hazy morning light reflected on the exquisite long table in the conference room.

Carl realized that he had talked about work with Ian all night without realizing it. After reacting, he knew it was time to end the conversation.

"It's morning now, the super promotion plan is set as the highest priority.

The task of acquiring WhatsApp is not urgent, so it will be set as the third priority. It's not too late for you to go back and have a sleep to replenish your energy before starting work."
