Chapter 200 Rise
"Mr. Li"
"To distinguish me from Martin, you can just call me Lille."
"Okay, Mr. Lear, we understand that you were in a coma a year ago, and during this year, you founded two companies in a row.
Bloom's ctOS system will serve as the NYPD's designated cooperative security system and become the cornerstone of New York's public security. It has been well received by the public and will soon be deployed in multiple areas.
The International Gene Cooperation Company has achieved remarkable results in genetically modified technology. After the accident, it has regained its negative impact and has been recognized by many authorities in the medical field.
Now that both companies have passed their toughest times, you will become the youngest, self-made millionaire --
And all this, if calculated from the time you woke up, only took one year. Some people say that you are already a new generation of genius that has surpassed Tony Stark.
Do you have anything to say about this? "
"I will say that money is not the key, and I am not the key. I hope people will pay more attention to what we do and the changes we bring."
"Speaking of which, gaining citizens' trust and changing citizens' impression of genetically modified technology is almost more difficult than becoming a millionaire. Why not choose to abandon these two companies and establish another company?"
“As a technologically advanced organization, we have an obligation to set a better example in society and not shy away from it.
Like I said, making money is not the purpose and we want others to see that too.
The family around you, the neighbor next door, the people of other worlds who appear on television, these are the people that technology is built for.
It is people who make up society, not money and power. "
"Wow, that's a very ambitious goal. It makes me want to vote for you to be mayor--
Speaking of which, after the incident, New York citizens were very dissatisfied with the current mayor and administrative agencies, and held many demonstrations at one time.
We also received news that you established an owners committee and a workers' mutual aid association in Hell's Kitchen in the early days. Does this mean that you also have opinions on our mayor? "
"Of course - I don't just have opinions, I have very strong words to say to him, but after all, this is an all-ages show, so I'll keep it to myself.
Yes, I have a problem with him. I have a big problem with him abandoning the safety of New York. He seems to have forgotten that it was the citizens of New York who made him the mayor of New York. He should be a public servant, not an emperor.
Here, I would like to recommend Anthony Flower, the co-chairman of the Owners Committee and the Workers' Mutual Aid Association, to become the mayor of New York.
He was a political novice, but together we built these organizations in Hell's Kitchen and drove out the criminals. "
Anthony Flor, Lille’s neighbor, the middle-aged Latino man with a loud voice.
Although he was born doing hard work, as his speaking activities continued to increase, he showed great speaking talent and affinity.
His good brother John, the black man whose throat was pierced by a bullseye, stood up for their experience.
Not everyone has the courage and ability to be like Lear, but John and Anthony are just two ordinary people.
In recent demonstrations, the owners' committees and workers' mutual aid associations led by the two men shined, and they cooperated well with the NYPD: politicians who should be scared rushed to their homes, and no gangs or criminals took advantage of the chaos to fish in troubled waters.
The owners' committee will provide an outlet for the middle-class dissatisfied shopkeepers and landlords in the city, while the Workers' Mutual Aid Association will provide a channel for lower-class workers. The political power continues to grow, becoming Anthony's political base.
The funds for political activities are, of course, provided by Lear and Martin.
In a tailwind situation, all the elements are in place, and the expansion of political power is as unstoppable as a chain reaction.
“I believe New Yorkers would be more willing to vote for you, but now that you say so, they should believe you.
So let’s end this interview with some good news, shall we? "
"sure."
“Citizens of New York, this is the promise from International Gene Cooperation Co., Ltd.: Those who donate bone marrow for free can enjoy 20 times the amount of donated bone marrow for free within 5 years, and after 5 years, enjoy 5 times the amount of donated bone marrow for life.
If your bone marrow donation reaches 200ml, you can enjoy free blood for life.
Of course, this policy is currently only open to hospitals controlled by the company. You can also transfer the free quota to relatives who need blood.
This is different from other free blood donation policies on the market: International Gene Cooperation has advanced hematopoietic technology to always keep the blood bank full.
No longer do you have to watch cash-strapped dignitaries adjusting blood at the speed of light from thousands of miles away, and even if you reach the donation amount, you will still have to face the situation of the blood bank being out of blood when you use it.
Even, maybe in the near future, your donated bone marrow can not only save you and your own family members in critical moments, but also help the International Gene Cooperation Company to advance to a higher level in biological treatment technology and solve the problem of organ shortage.
International Gene Cooperation Company will also cooperate with Li's Financial to jointly launch a variety of medical insurances, so stay tuned. "
Although Osborne Group is a technology company, Osborne owns many hospitals and pharmaceutical factories.
As soon as the incident broke out, the company's stock price entered a plummeting mode, and Martin, who had obtained the first-hand information, naturally took advantage of the situation.
His target was not the company itself, but Osborne's properties.
Factories, hospitals, and research laboratories are all ready-made industrial chains. If you don't pick them up, you won't pick them up.
However, due to many reasons, some of Osborne Group’s properties were picked up by other companies——
".This company called Cyber Technology is the company that has benefited the most besides us. They have taken away the brain-computer interface technology."
Martin walked into the office and put a document on the table.
Cybertech.
Hydra's own high-tech industry, as the company's name suggests, is responsible for researching military combat prosthetics.
Cyber Technology recently announced a major breakthrough in brain-computer interface technology.
If the flow of funds is carefully investigated, more details of asset reorganization should be discovered, but the two have no agents and are unlikely to conduct in-depth investigations overseas.
However, although it is the company that has benefited the most besides Lear, Cyber Technology has only taken away the brain-computer interface and bio-armor technology. Compared with Lear, which has almost received a full set of confidentiality technologies and industries, it is a world of difference.
Of course, Lille is now heavily in debt due to adjustments.
"They moved very quickly." Lear touched his chin, "How are things in the prison going?"
"I acquired a small one first, and the new one is still under construction." Martin sat on the chair and crossed his legs. "I want to watch him die in prison. Before that, he wants to watch Norman Osborne." Names were nailed to the pillar of shame.”
"I don't have a problem with that. Just handle it, but I want to say another thing. Do you want to turn your people into a security company?"
After all, the Inner Demon Gang is still a gang.
Gangsters have advantages and disadvantages. The advantage is that they can maintain production order at a low cost and reduce production costs.
But Martin himself is not involved in many black industries. At most, he is involved in some sweatshops.
The disadvantage is also very simple, it cannot be seen in the light.
Now they are a high-tech enterprise, and the profits can fully support a separate security company.
Martin thought for a while: "Okay, but a security company came to the door - they were originally going to sign a contract with Osborne, but I don't know why Osborne suddenly quit, thinking that they might be able to get the contract from us. .”
"what company?"
"Silver Sable Security Company, I saw their resume. They are very professional and have PMC qualifications. They were originally mercenaries fighting in the war."
"This is indeed very professional. We should handle the confidential parts ourselves, and Silver Sable Security will arrange a place for them."
"Okay." Martin sat back in the chair and turned the chair around. "One more thing, the Osborne Building is auctioned - we should have our own landmark building."
"You want to buy Osborne House?"
“I want that piece of land, then tear down that building and build some kind of monument, and then write his name and what he did on it.
This is one of the landmarks, the other one.”
Martin suddenly became interested, stood up and pulled out the projection cloth next to the glass, and the projector displayed a map of New York City.
He sketched out what was now their sphere of influence: Hell's Kitchen, several important Chinatowns, and Osborne Tower.
Except for Osborne Tower, other places can be regarded as slums, especially in the context of the economic crisis, becoming increasingly poor.
“We can rebuild and connect these areas. My people trust me and your people trust you. If you have money and people, the transformation will be very fast.
Then we build our own office buildings, hospitals, schools, factories, and shopping malls in this connected area.
Build a second Manhattan, our own. "
"It sounds great, but it's a big project."
"We need such a big project now." Martin looked at the area he outlined with great ambition.
The big revenge has been avenged, and it's time to find something to do for yourself - such as what the kind side has always wanted to do.
Lear waved his hand: "Come on then, I have to go to the laboratory and leave first."
"Um."
Martin watched Leal leave the building and raised his head to look at the dilapidated Osborne Building.
His office building is not high and the location is average, but he can see the Osborne Building when he looks back from here, reminding him of the painful past.
And today, his fantasy scene finally came true.
He did not become paranoid and lonely because of his long revenge, became empty at the moment of success, or became confused at the moment of failure.
On the contrary, he succeeded. He overcame the hurdle of revenge and found his former self. There were still many things he wanted to do.
He would not call successful revenge a "good thing" because it represents a tragic past that cannot be changed.
But when I think that I no longer need to do those bad things and endure the humiliation and plan revenge, but can face a different future.
This can be considered a good thing.
Martin took out the yellowed family photo from his clothes, put it against his chest, and closed his eyes.
You can take a nap now.
