Chapter 305: Choosing a Site for the New Headquarters
"It's annoying!" Thea sent away another middle-aged man with an extraordinary bearing, threw away the pen, and stood at the window looking into the distance.
The middle-aged man who communicated with her before was only a small shareholder, and it stands to reason that it would not be Thea's turn to meet in person, but although this person has a low status, there are many people behind him.
Yes, everything he says and does represents the U.S. government, and those who hide behind the scenes and control the lifeblood of the nation.
It wasn't a matter of annexing an industry or opposing a merger, but something that neither Thea nor Malcolm was aware of.
The merger of Quinn and Merlin, the new group's business covers a large number of fields such as military research and development, new energy mining, urban construction, and shipping transportation, and the group employs nearly 100,000! Perhaps this is not enough to attract the attention of the government, but the fatal thing is that Moira is the mayor of Star City, and Thea is under her rule to carry out a large-scale group merger.
After the merger, the new group is dominated by the Star City family, coupled with Moira's care, and under the collusion of officials and businessmen, do your mother and daughter plan to change the name of Star City to Quinn City?
The beacon country of freedom and democracy, must not come out with this kind of news that makes the unspeakable country wantonly attack, the middle-aged man who just walked out of Thea's office just came to do the preliminary temptation, and the car said for a long time to convey a meaning, can your group headquarters be appropriately relocated?
As for where to relocate, the upper echelons felt that the two international metropolises of the Lighthouse Country were more in line with the positioning of the new group. Thea politely sent the middle-aged man away, she is now also a big person who stomps on the ground and shakes a few times, it is impossible to talk about a small character casually, and immediately agree, there are a lot of problems involved.
Looking at the construction workers in the distance through the floor-to-ceiling windows, Thea exhaled a turbid breath, "Damn, what kind of bullshit cosmopolitan! Isn't it Gotham and Metropolis?
From a business point of view, it must be that big cities are conducive to the development of the group, but Thea really doesn't want to go! How idle does she have to go to Metropolis and Gotham to make money?
But it is really inappropriate not to relocate, at least to affect Moira's career, which Thea does not want to see. What is the importance of the value of her mother's life and the safety of the employees of the group? Thea didn't think about it at all, and automatically chose the former...
In her opinion, Metropolis and Gotham must be in danger, but for her current strength, the danger is not great, the speed of the yellow light ring is the highest among all the lights, if Thea can't run away, then there are really few who can run away.
Instructed the assistant to check whether the group has land in the metropolis and Gotham, and the new headquarters must always be built tall and big, presumably when the news comes out, the government will know what it means, and they will also take care of themselves within certain rules.
Fortunately, the relocation of the group's headquarters, buying land, building buildings, and moving in various departments can drag on for a long time, and in the short term, Star City is still Thea's base camp.
But there is only one headquarters, should I choose Metropolis or Gotham?
Although Gotham is very familiar, Thea really doesn't like the weather there, although they have not stopped the rain work, but the clouds are accumulating too fast, as long as they relax for a few days, the sky will be dark again.
Although Thea can absorb sunlight and moonlight, she can't absorb the sunlight that is blocked, and her strengthening speed will be much slower if she stays in Gotham for a long time.
On the other hand, the Owl Court has touched on all aspects of Gotham, and if you bring a large group with you, it will definitely cause conflict from common sense. The contradiction is small, and it is easy to expose the fact that he secretly controls the court, and the contradiction is big, and it hurts too much for his own people to beat his own people.
After considering several parties, Thea gave up Gotham and prepared to enter the metropolis.
The government was very happy to get the news that she was going to enter the metropolis, they didn't know about Thea's concerns, and from their point of view, they also wanted Thea to go to the metropolis.
Gotham is chaotic and disorderly, Wayne Enterprises is controlled at various levels, and the government is not afraid of Bruce Wayne doing anything big. On the contrary, the extremely egoistic character of Lex Luthor made them very sad, the Luthor group was splashed by the water he ran, but Lex's parents had deep connections in business, politics and the military, and they couldn't move at all.
Lex Luthor's genius mind, arrogant personality, and huge financial resources did not want to arouse jealousy? Hearing that Thea was going to the Metropolis, several real high-level executives were very happy, and instructed his subordinates to handle the merger of her new group as soon as possible.
The government gave the green light, and the work, which was supposed to take at least three months to complete, was completed in more than a month, and the big brand of the Quinn Merlin Group officially appeared on the stock exchange.
Although shareholders can't understand how these two groups with fundamentally unrelated businesses came together, a large number of people still enthusiastically threw money to Quinn Merlin Group when they saw the crazy rise of the group's new shares.
Because of the government's explicit or covert promotion, Thea's personal worth reached a historical high, and even approached Bruce Wayne for a time, and many calm shareholders quickly figured out what was wrong and sold some of the stocks, but it still made Thea, who had invested a lot of private money in advance, buy low and sell high, and made hundreds of millions of dollars.
If this large amount of money is placed in an indescribable country, it must be invested in real estate, but Thea took out a map and looked around, trying to find a city without superheroes, but it is a pity that she can't find it at all, and buying a house in this world is waiting to be bulldozed by the bad guy aliens.
Put the money in her pocket, and just when Thea thought that life would go on like this, Amanda Waller of the Sky Eye Society came to visit in person.
With the military's line, Thea is no longer as eager for the Tianyan Society as she was at the beginning, knowing that it is not good for her to come to the door, but she can't be blasted out.
"Sister Amanda... You see I'm very busy right now. Thea pointed to the documents on her desk and said, the president and vice president of the new group add up to more than ten, but in the early days of the merger, many things need her to make decisions, and these people can't help, she didn't have time to go to the date with Diana last week, but called Diana to the office and the two closed the door and read the documents for a day.
"There's something I really need your help with. Amanda put her attitude very low, no longer the attitude that came and went as she did at the beginning.
Thea is not a person who knows what to do, and since she has been respected, she also put down her pen and is ready to wait for her next step.
"I have a Ph.D. in archaeology named Joan Moon, very capable, a month ago she accidentally fell into an old cave during a local expedition in Peru, after we rescued her, several medical experts were helpless about her condition, her consciousness seems to be a little confused, I heard that you have some healing ability? Can you help me see?"
