Chapter 32: Party
Duncan glanced at these cooperative projects and said with a surprised expression: "These projects... the start-up time and the speed of capital recovery are very slow, right? They may have to rely on other projects to provide funds to maintain them. Will the funds be a little tight at that time?"
He was not worried about the money. Umbrella and Stark Industries were very financially strong, but more than half of the plans were money-consuming projects that would not see returns in a short period of time. If they started together, most of the working capital of the two companies would inevitably be invested, and their risk resistance would be reduced. If something unexpected happened, the initial investment would definitely go down the drain. ♦♦ ♦♦Google Search Reading
And there were too many high-tech projects. They didn't have so many people to be competent for R\u0026D positions, unless Tony was willing to let him clone some talents.
"Of course not!"
Tony said seriously, and he pointed out three titles on the holographic screen: clean energy, artificial intelligence, and medicines.
"We can start with these three ideas. Stark has cold nuclear fusion reactor technology, and Umbrella Corporation has a lot of drug information. We only need to exchange technology, and there will be no trouble with the initial funding. I can develop an industrial robot to completely replace human labor. Later projects that require the use of human positions will be replaced by robots, and these projects can be carried out simultaneously. Where people are really needed, it is not too late to slowly recruit them after the site is established. And..."
He became more and more excited as he spoke, and almost wanted to run out to direct the construction team to start working.
Duncan had just started the company not long ago, and his head began to get confused when he heard some professional terms later.
Fortunately, Pepper discovered Duncan's embarrassment and explained in plain words to Duncan, barely letting him understand what Tony meant.
This conversation lasted more than two hours, and Duncan understood what Tony wanted to do by making so many plans.
Leading Stark Industries to become the light of Marvel!
Very good, very ambitious!
"I roughly understand. Give me a copy of the information later. I'll take it back and we'll meet. I'm not here to talk business this time. It's too tiring. I'm going to take Alice downstairs for a walk. It's okay to charge the expenses to you!"
Duncan pulled up the sleepy Alice beside him and was about to leave. He turned around and asked Tony for money to spend. He was not polite at all.
Tony also stood up and waved to put away the holographic screen. Now he envied Duncan, "Great, I'll go to your place for vacation someday. There shouldn't be anyone asking me for an autograph there!"
Finally, Duncan was able to get rid of his headache-inducing job, and walked around New York with Alice, and had dinner together in the evening.
Alice, who completely believed that the world of time travel really existed, agreed to the job transfer and temporarily joined the Avengers to learn how to become a super soldier.
In the evening, Duncan left and returned to the world of Resident Evil from the elevator of Stark Industries. Alice stayed in Stark Industries and was temporarily taken care of by Pepper.
After Alice joined the Avengers, the cooperation between Stark Industries and Umbrella began to advance rapidly.
…
Steve and Natasha, who returned to the Avengers, began to attack the Hydra den. Alice replaced the uncontrollable Hulk on the mission and gradually became one with the captain.
Duncan was still concerned about Alice's situation and occasionally had primitive correspondence. Alice wrote in the letters, which were basically descriptions of the mission.
She also had a lot of doubts, such as: Why can the Avengers run around the world with dangerous weapons without any official organization's endorsement? Why do they rush into the Hydra base with just a few people without waiting for the army to arrive?
Although they are all very powerful and this approach causes few casualties, it is a bit too tiring.
At the beginning, Alice was not used to the Avengers' fighting style. She often complained about injuries when attacking the Hydra stronghold. Later, the power of the T virus gradually awakened in danger, and she barely learned the skill of dodging bullets and became the second super soldier.
Duncan also got rid of the overly heavy work. The secretarial team he recruited handled things in an orderly manner. The clone staff who mixed in with them could supervise them to complete their work seriously, so his workload was greatly reduced.
After handling the trivial matters of the company that afternoon, Duncan returned to the renovated villa after get off work, changed his suit into an ordinary sports shirt, and then took a car to the hotel near the Raccoon City Police Station.
There was a party in the hotel tonight. This party was spontaneously held by the police officers of Raccoon City. Duncan only provided a little bit of funds to let a group of police officers who had contributed to the crisis in Raccoon City eat, drink and have fun.
At this time, in the hotel banquet hall, the soft lights reflected the figures of men and women in formal clothes, most of whom were men, and only a few women.
There were drinks and snacks in the corner of the banquet, and all kinds of snacks. The people in the field just tasted the drinks and did not touch the snacks on the long table, because there was an important person who had not arrived at the party.
"Henry, do you know why that person invited us to the party?"
A few men and women gathered at a corner of the long table with fruit wine and talked.
Henry is a young man who belongs to the (Special Tactics and Rescue Team) established within the Raccoon City Police Department. In addition to his hardcore skills, he is also a well-informed person.
Due to the needs of his job, he has developed a gossipy personality. If you ask him about things that others don't know, he will always get the answer.
But this time Henry was unable to find out why the current leader of the Umbrella Company would invite these young police officers to the party. "I don't know. I asked the chief when I came in, but he didn't know either. He also reminded us to respect that person as if we were seeing God. He looked so ugly, like licking sweat on an old man's shirt!"
"Ugh~!" "Eh~"
"Hey, I'm going to have some snacks later, don't say it's so disgusting!"
Others nodded in agreement with Henry's complaints. Unable to understand why Duncan invited them to the party, they turned the topic to criticizing and complaining about things that were not going well at work.
The amount of happiness they could get from complaining about their boss together was about the same as drinking an ice-cold drink in the summer.
The topic was forced to end when it came to the number of times the chief went to a certain apartment without telling his wife and children, because the organizer of the party came.
Duncan pushed the door and walked into the banquet hall with a smile on his face. His eyes quickly searched the venue and finally found his target, a female police officer with short black hair.
She was wearing a water blue sleeveless dress, which was not long, exposing a pair of slender legs.
Her heroic eyes were piercing him, and she was squatting with a glass of fruit wine in her hands. Her straight legs moved slightly, and the muscles on her thighs and calves moved slightly. The soft and tough muscle lines restored the beautiful three-dimensional sense to the original beauty.
She was like a proud female leopard standing in the grassland. Even if she was mixed in the yellow grass, she would fascinate people who found her.
His eyes only swept over the other person. Although he was a little greedy, Duncan was not a superficial person. He quickly adjusted his mentality. The purpose of the party was not for her.
He stepped into the hall with a smile and exchanged politeness with the director of the Raccoon City Police Department who came forward, and praised each other for business.
