Chapter 108: Threat

"Mr. Duncan may wish to reconsider. All construction projects in New York State are taken over by New York Construction Group. We have a very mature industrial chain and operation system, and we can handle all kinds of documents one by one! Use construction teams from other places. , procedural troubles will definitely delay the construction period..."

The salesman nodded frequently. When he said this, he paused for a moment, and then said confidently: "You don't want the completion time of the company building to be affected by these small things, right?"

"...? Can I think you are threatening me?"

"No, please don't get me wrong. New York Construction Group has in-depth cooperation with various institutions in New York. We outsource the project to our company. We just want to save you unnecessary trouble. Please consider it seriously!"

Duncan stared at the Stanley salesman who had a very serious tone and expression. He was silent for a while, then burst out laughing. He turned to look at Alice behind him and pointed his thumb at the Stanley salesman.

Alice also smiled slightly.

This insincere ridicule made Stanley's expression slowly darken, but he adjusted quickly and showed a professional smile again, saying: "Mr. Duncan, this is the contract drawn up by our company and my business card. If you change your mind, you can contact me anytime."

After leaving the things on the table, he stood up and walked outside. He no longer had the flattering feeling before, but instead showed the confidence of an elite white-collar worker.

The New York Construction Group has a monopoly on the construction industry in New York State. They do have a lot of capital. As long as there are delays in building materials and approvals, the Umbrella Company's building will not be completed within ten years.

They have countless ways to make it difficult for the project to proceed. If you don't want the capital chain to be dragged down, you can only contract the project to them.

After the project is contracted to the New York Construction Group, there are many benefits, including design, materials, labor, decoration, time...

After it is completed, it can be repaired every once in a while because of some minor problems, and it can be contracted once and managed by shareholders for half a year.

"You can't leave."

As soon as he stepped out of the conference room door, he heard a faint sound behind him. The back of Stanley's neck was suddenly grabbed, and then a huge force pulled him into the air and flipped him back. The desktop of the desk was in sight. Zoom in quickly.

An adult weighing one hundred and fifty sixty pounds was pressed down on the desk with his hands clamped behind his back like a puppy. His face collided with the paper documents on the contract, making a loud bang, and his head was dizzy. , his vision became blurry, and he could only see a person standing in front of him.

Duncan put his hands in his pockets and looked down at the Stanley salesman who was pushed down on the table. "It's really hard for me not to doubt you, so I want to test it. If it's not your fault, then it will be my fault." You are satisfied with the compensation, but if it is really yours, you will receive a surprise!”

"I don't know what you are talking about. Let me go quickly. If you want to live in New York, if you offend the New York Construction Group... don't even think about it!"

"Oh ho? Are you going to reveal your true colors?" Duncan looked at something dirty and then took out the spider controller from his pocket. ̢̜̳̱͈̹͓͛͜ḩ̷̻̩͍̱̗͔̺̏̓͊̀͂̀ͅṵ̵̙̻͉̦͙̗̥̉̓̓͊̑̂̑x̸͍̘̳͂͊̂̊̀͊̕͘.̷̹̦̆̆̆c ̶͙͈͚̽̄̈̎̒͜ó̶̧̧̝̳̠͇͕̺̲̹̔̈́ ̷̗͓̽̂̌̋̋̌

I brought this just in case, after all, the spider controller is still a very useful thing.

When Alice saw the spider controller coming out, she immediately turned Stanley over.

The moment his clamped hands were released, Stanley's eyes flashed hard, he reached into the lining of his suit and took out the pistol hidden in his clothes.

Bang!

With just enough time to fire a shot, Stanley's hand was twisted by Alice. The pistol fell to the ground with a scream, and the bullet was deflected by super powers and hit the wall.

Two special operations soldiers holding pistols outside the door broke in and protected Duncan behind them. They pointed their pistols at Stanley's head with a look of fear on their faces.

When Stanley saw the muzzle of the gun pressed against his head, he knew he couldn't resist. His body accepted his fate, but his mouth continued to speak swiftly.

"Kill me and you won't be able to escape. Shareholders will not tolerate provocateurs! No matter where you run, you will not be able to escape. You will die!"

"Shhhhhhh! Be quiet for a while!" Gently pushing aside the bodyguard in front of him, Duncan looked at Stanley's left index finger raised to his lips, and his right hand pressed the spider controller on his chest.

A tiny needle pierced Stanley's chest, and the red crystal on the spider controller flashed a dark light, and then his eloquent mouth slowly closed.

Under the gaze of Duncan and others, Stanley's expression changed from anger to confusion, and then returned to clarity. He looked at Duncan calmly, "Boss."

After waving his hand for Alice to let go of him, Duncan asked the controlled Stanley, "Tell me, how does the New York Construction Group make money?"

Stanley, who was under control, naturally did not dare to speak nonsense, and clearly revealed the New York Construction Group's money-making methods.

The business model is a very normal collusion between government and business, forcing the company to outsource the business to them. When the building is halfway through, something goes wrong and the materials need to be replaced. The old materials can no longer be used and are sold back to the material dealers affiliated with the New York construction company at a discount. Replaced with a new batch of advanced materials.

Shrinking high-end materials can make a lot of money, and these so-called high-end materials are just inferior products that they hype.

With this back and forth, plus the need to sign a renovation and decoration agreement with the New York Construction Group after the building is completed, they can make 70 million from a $100 million project, of which 20 million is made out of nothing, plus the subsequent various maintenance costs, the introduction fees of the cooperative company, plus the publicity of the New York Construction Group after the building is completed...

Huge profits!

Duncan couldn't help but be amazed when he heard it, and sighed that he was really a capitalist. No matter what industry, as long as it is a monopoly, it will definitely be a huge profit.

After knowing how the New York Construction Group makes money, he thought of the underground world in New York and immediately asked: "Which underground forces does the New York Construction Group cooperate with?"

He thought he could hear the names of one or two forces, but to his disappointment, Stanley didn't know these things. He was just a peripheral business runner. He had heard some vague information in the company and only knew that people who offended the New York Construction Group basically couldn't survive in New York.

Stanley didn't know anything about more things. Even if it was business that came, it had to be taken up and distributed to the manager.

The reason for having a gun is that he needs to defend himself. This guy has offended many people before. In this city of sin, if he goes out on the street without a gun, he can't fight back if he is attacked.

The whole nation owns guns. It is impossible in the world of Resident Evil and Marvel, but it is possible here.

"Throw him out." Duncan lost interest in finding that this guy was just a worker who relied on his good master to boss him around. After retrieving the spider controller, he asked the soldiers to throw him out of the hotel.

The unconscious Stanley was dragged away by two soldiers and thrown into the street. The briefcase hit his face, and then they left him alone.

The residents wandering around saw a man unconscious there, and they rushed up in an instant, stripped him naked, and kicked him a few times before leaving.

Some people even wanted to stab Stanley a few times to vent their inner desire for violence.

However, this not-so-high-end hotel has no security guards, but members of the world development team live inside, so the special operations forces soldiers are standing guard at the door.

This group of righteous guys can be indifferent to robbing a villain, but if they want to commit a crime, the supreme justice education they have cultivated in Raccoon City cannot tolerate these thugs who attack indiscriminately.

After revealing the pistols on their waists, many people put away their violent thoughts and walked away.
