Chapter 40: A farce
The current president of Umbrella Corporation, who had been missing for nearly a week, reappeared and broke into the venue of the live broadcast of the hearing in a special way.
Some capitalists who participated in the attack on Umbrella Corporation got over the initial panic and slowly calmed down.
They had no need to be afraid of a young man. Now almost "the whole world" is targeting Umbrella Corporation, and the victory should belong to them.
Even if Umbrella Corporation is powerful, the general trend is irreversible, and the world has suffered from Umbrella for a long time!
As long as Umbrella exists for one day, the market activity will continue to decline until Umbrella Corporation becomes a global super monopoly group, controlling the entire world, and everyone must act according to the face of Umbrella Corporation.
They do not allow such an existence to appear. This will not only cause the development of the world to stagnate and there will be no healthy competition, but also breed ambition.
The more than a dozen capitalists in the audience quickly reached a consensus that even if they used some shady tricks, they could not let Umbrella Corporation continue to develop.
Duncan walked slowly to the location of the team led by Umbrella Corporation, and saw his department heads greeted him one after another, but Susan was still slumped in the chair.
"Boss, can I... resign?" Susan showed an ugly smile, and the fine wrinkles on her face became clearly visible with this smile.
Stress can make people old. There was an academician who quickly turned gray due to the busyness of the epidemic.
Let's not talk about dedication at this time. Susan is really under a lot of pressure.
Duncan agreed without thinking much. Before coming, he had learned about the situation of the Umbrella Company after his disappearance through Red Queen.
Susan is indeed just a vase. Even with the assistance of Red Queen and the preset program, she couldn't handle everything well.
Although it's not a mess, there are really not many things to note. For example, today's hearing, with the power of the Umbrella Company, it can be ignored directly. Just post an announcement on the official website, and you don't have to pay attention to it.
When taking over the company, Duncan had found out the human resources of the Umbrella Company. They can toss around in this small piece of land in the United States. As long as they don't want to start a war, they can basically be suppressed.
After he came back, he contacted several American congressmen, plus some people who had some relationship with Umbrella, and easily broke into the venue of the hearing. The security guards outside not only did not dare to stop him, but also had to politely welcome him in.
This joke-like hearing was more about the old European nobles who could not stand the interests of the Umbrella Company and tried to grab resources.
They tried to use public opinion to put pressure on Umbrella, and later they might use coercion and inducement to turn the company's internal employees against each other, and finally promote the split of Umbrella Company by buying off congressmen, creating a financial crisis, and destroying Umbrella's property.
Simple methods are often the most effective!
It's just that this method is ineffective for the core industries of Umbrella Company, and can only cut out some businesses that Umbrella Company can abandon at any time. ♦♦ ♦♦
But now that Duncan is back, he won't let this happen.
Umbrella Company is an important helper for him to move towards the universe and the starry sky, and it is also the cornerstone of his tour of the parallel universe. He can't ruin his future because of some short-sighted vampires.
Duncan asked the bodyguards who followed him to take Susan away, and then sat in her original position, looking at the chairman on the podium, and smiled: "Mr. Chairman, you can continue!"
The chairman on the podium narrowed his eyes and looked at the people in the audience seats on the side. After they nodded, he said: "Okay, now please let Mr. Gallup, a former US military general, speak."
He who presided over the meeting was also not a fair and just person. Here he played a little trick. He did not let Duncan know the progress before the meeting and started a new topic directly.
Mr. Gallup, whose short hair was covered with white frost, turned on the microphone, looked at the manuscript paper prepared in advance, and read: "Umbrella Corporation is a multinational monopoly enterprise and the largest multinational military organization. The scale of its internal security team has reached 100,000 people, and its armed forces..."
During Gallup's recitation, the audience who were watching the live broadcast successfully learned how strong the armed forces of Umbrella Corporation were through Gallup's mouth and the video materials prepared in advance.
Umbrella Corporation's business covers military industry, and the weapons and equipment of the security team have always been supplied internally.
Some high-power missiles and armed helicopters for sale abroad are basically equipped, and even armored vehicles that reach military grade are available.
The armed forces on the surface are enough to launch a small war, and they are even more powerful against some small countries.
The key point is that Umbrella Corporation has a complete industrial chain and strong capital. Even if a war really breaks out, the logistics will take a while.
All these strengths are shown one by one in Gallup's excellent reading.
In this regard, Duncan still sat in his seat calmly. What Gallup said were all facts, and he had no way to refute them, and he didn't even say them in detail.
Umbrella has stored a large number of special weapons in several underground bases, including large-scale high-powered explosives and small batches of guns and ammunition.
On weekdays, Umbrella's military factories often transport the produced weapons to several underground bases, but no outsiders know about it.
After Gapro finished reading the manuscript, his eyes suddenly became sharp, and he looked at Duncan and asked a sharp question, "The weapons held by Umbrella Corporation are obviously beyond the normal range. If you need protection, you should cooperate with the military or police instead of developing private armed forces. What is the reason for doing this?"
It was Duncan's turn to speak now, and the camera turned to him.
"I think I need to reiterate a fact. Umbrella's headquarters is in the United States, and most of our security team is here... According to the rights granted to every citizen by American law, the security department we have now is completely compliant and legal."
When Duncan was halfway through his words, his microphone was silent, which made him very helpless and lost interest in arguing with these people.
These people simply don't follow the rules. The rules are only used to restrain the weak.
In the front seat, a middle-aged white man also interrupted: "Excuse me, Mr. Duncan, you mean that most of your security team is here, what is the meaning of their existence, why don't you cooperate with the army and the police?"
Duncan sighed and shook his head, and took out the transparent mobile phone Tony gave him from his pocket. It was a rectangular glass block.
Many of the preset programs on it can be controlled by Red Queen, and the function of invading electronic devices is a must in the mobile phone.
After more than ten seconds, the loudspeaker in the conference room fell into Duncan's control.
The middle-aged white man who had not received an answer wanted to continue questioning, but found that there was no sound in the loudspeaker. How familiar.
Duncan held up his mobile phone as a microphone, stood up and walked to the middle of the conference room so that the cameras could not ignore him.
"Stop this farce! Is the meaning of your existence just for profit?"
Duncan was about to start casting a spell.
