Chapter 601: The virus arrives, and the construction of the Tokyo Technopark begins
At the end of November, and half of December, a series of imperceptible events took place on the NASDAQ exchange. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Alice Wang has been selling shares of Microsoft and Cisco on a regular and small scale in exchange for cash, and in just half a month, she has quickly accumulated up to one billion dollars in cash.
The money was not put into other stocks after she got it, but was directly transferred back to her accounts in Citigroup, Morgan and other banks.
The total amount of money is huge, but it is still nothing compared to the minute-by-minute fluctuations in the entire financial market. Without attracting anyone's attention at all, Alice quickly sent the money to Japan.
It can be regarded as repaying the loan.
After a long time, the laboratory has divided the weight loss drug "instigation" into many varieties, each with its own price and targeted efficacy. When products become diversified, profits will naturally increase significantly, and the company will not stop expanding when it has spare money. Once the umbrella Japanese branch was established, it developed at a very high speed, so that there was a large shortage of cash, and even a large amount of loans from banks were required.
The company is headquartered in Tokyo, but it does not share limited space with skyscrapers in Shinjuku and other places, but occupies a 30-story building in a relatively remote area. When the site was first selected, Alice was mainly optimistic about its surroundings, because of its proximity to industrial areas, the surrounding houses are low in price and limited in height, which is very suitable for mergers and acquisitions.
Now is the time.
After briefly dealing with the matter here in Blackwater, Alice returned to Japan without stopping, even if it was not far from the official start of the Gulf War. The loan has been repaid, which means that there is new money to apply for, so the first thing she did when she returned was to buy all the land near the company's headquarters to use it to set up the Umbrella Science Park.
At the same time, Evan Delov, who has been working in the UK, and CEO Spencer, were also invited by her to Japan, where they met with the Miyano couple, the heads of the branch, in the top office of the building.
"Although Mr. and Mrs. Miyano joined late, we are both senior executives of the company, so we naturally share power and core secrets. ”
Delov placed the suitcase on the conference table and gently opened it.
"You know the raw material of hemp, lipolytic enzymes. What I'm showing you now is the source of this decomposition enzyme, a new type of virus. ”
The small suitcase is not subject to the password, and the inner shell after opening is still metal, which is very capable of taking the lead. Inside three perfect card slots, the yellowish liquid is housed in a DNA spiral glass tube, encased in a larger cylindrical glass cover and metal casing at both ends, in a well-made and intricate manner.
"It's so beautiful!" Mrs. Miyano is actually a British woman, and in the face of the audience of Europeans and Americans, she spoke Japanese with a British accent, in fact, she really felt nondescript.
"Professor Delorf and I named it virus I, which was found in a highly intelligent East African chimpanzee, which is symbiotic with lymphocytes and has the effect of effectively improving comprehensive immunity...... That's right, Mr. Miyano, it must have a huge main force in the development of anti-cancer drugs, and the question is only how to apply them. ”
Mr. and Mrs. Miyano immediately took out a tube and looked at it. The virus in the vacuum-encapsulated culture medium, the size of the test tube is not small, and the liquid in it is also more than ten milliliters, thanks to Alice, she immediately explained that this virus does not have the ability to spread in the air, otherwise it will inevitably give people a feeling of insecurity if you hold it directly in your hand.
"Of course, this is all tempered glass, and so are the thin test tubes inside, which can't be broken with a casual fall. While explaining, Alice was also complaining in her heart. Umbrella, that's it, it's not a country that relies on imperial food to eat, and something as important as the T virus is not actually sealed with tempered glass, so that people can leak it casually, what is this?
Once the core technology was presented to the new core staff, it was time for the detailed explanation, which was left to Delov. At this moment, everyone on the scene belongs to experts, the Miyano couple are not fuel-efficient lamps, Shiho, who is also located at the scene, is also a top student at the University of Tokyo, and Alice's brain is not to be questioned, and no one will be bored once it starts with a tirade.
It is not an exaggeration to say that the I virus that has been put into practical use is the most valuable technology in the hands of the umbrella company and even Alice, so today's disclosure is by no means just to inform the relationship between it and diet pills. The help of the development of anti-cancer drugs requires the Miyano couple to study on their own, and when Delov's introduction is over, Alice explains Brudy's matter.
The young man was the doorman at the door of the office and let him put on a live show that was more effective than any seemingly absurd explanation. Admittedly, Brudy is nowhere near strong enough to be the Hulk, but it's like running barefoot up the wall, running up the ceiling, and then running down the wall...... Obviously, it's not something that ordinary special forces can do, right?
"So...... Well, please calm down. Alice was chuckling, Brudy was putting on her shoes, and the Miyano couple was shocked: "So that's it, we have preliminarily studied the contribution of the I virus to the strengthening of the human body, but the technology is not yet mature, and it is difficult for a good man like Brudy to mass produce it." Therefore, when the science and technology park behind us is established, I hope to make it the most confidential and core R&D task of our company. ”
The couple's eyelids jumped wildly, and Shiho Miyano, who was half an intern and half a dozen soy sauce, couldn't calm down. They are not special forces instructors, but biology is not learned in vain, running barefoot on the wall is quite a good job, some Chinese kung fu can explain it, but how much ability it takes to run all the way up to the ceiling, and it is the ceiling of this spacious office!
"The ...... of the human body Mr. Brudy, is it, disrespectful!" Mr. Miyano couldn't calm down, and almost feverishly shook Brudy's hand and said, "Although you are Miss Wang's bodyguard, I really hope you can work with me!" Miss Wang, don't mind if I do some physical tests for Mr. Brudy, Mr. Brudy, please be my guinea pig, please!"
"This ...... Ahem, don't worry, of course I'll cooperate. Mr. Miyano was really enthusiastic enough, Brudy pumped his hand three times in frustration, and he didn't break away: "I've done a lot of tests with Director Delov a long time ago, Director Delov, do you want to dictate the test report to Mr. Miyano first?"
Mr. Miyano's pair of falcons immediately aimed at Delov: "It turns out that Mr. Director still has a piece of information that we haven't told us, please! The evolution of the basic physiology of the human body, this matter is ...... Oops, wife......"
In the end, it was Miyano's mother and daughter who went into battle to calm down the scientist, and Delov watched the excitement with a smile all the time, and when the family was obediently seated, he took out another document from his leather bag.
For Alice, what she was tired of seeing for a long time has a drug-like charm for the Miyano couple. It is true that Brudy's comprehensive physical fitness is the grade of Batman and Green Arrow, and if he really wants to fight hand-to-hand, Alice, the "Professor X", can knock him down...... But of course this can't be seen from the perspective of other supermen, can it?
So this look was half an hour, and the Miyano couple kept asking about the details of the report. For example, 1,000 push-ups followed by 1,000 sit-ups and 1,000 pull-ups, without drinking sports drinks all the way through, what does the actual body feel after the test is completed, etc. In the same way, it is okay to ask Brudy to take off his shirt immediately and show off his muscles, and ask him to stretch his biceps and observe the muscle arc.
"I think Mr. Brudy's success should have an element of luck, and it's good that you didn't try to make a second super soldier again. After the observation, Mr. Miyano said solemnly, "If it really took only one or two weeks from the injection of the drug to the gradual strengthening of his body, as you said, then the probability of his death is definitely dozens of percent higher than that of success." The real world isn't American superhero comics, Mr. Brude, you really should buy a Mark Six lottery. ”
Brudy had already put on his shirt, sat on the sidelines, and smiled: "At least I'm much luckier than Steve Rogers, he only took a few tens of seconds to go from a short man to a handsome hunk." ”
Alice snorted from the side, "I hate to admit it, but Howard Stark is still better than me." Without the help of my superpowers, I wouldn't have been able to build an anti-gravity engine during World War II. ”
Sure enough, although they understood a little, the Miyano couple couldn't help but smile bitterly. Don't look at the boss's young and successful, in the end she is only a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl, this is really the rhythm of using comics as teaching materials, and it is a shame that she succeeded!
In this way, a high-density meeting ended, and the suitcase full of prototype viruses brought by Delov was left in the Tokyo branch of the umbrella. The construction of the science park is ready to begin, and the design will be completed by Vanda's architectural design department, and the discussion is about the division of the site and the building's functions.
"Science and technology parks, you don't need to be obvious skyscrapers as signs, just build a few more. According to the standard of the 30th floor of our current headquarters, a total of three buildings are enough, forming a triangle and connecting them with a flyover. And then you look at the map. ”
The map of the Tokyo part of the city is clearly marked, and the current location of the umbrella branch is clearly marked.
"The three buildings are triangular, facing the main road, and the other sides are located on the mountainside, with the river in the back, and they are directly walled with a wall. And then in such an open space, we can build a research institute at will?"
With 2,000 square kilometers, 23 wards, 26 cities, 5 towns, and 8 villages, no matter how dense Tokyo is, it is feasible to find a relatively wide area of land. It is not too far, this area is 13 or 4 kilometers away from Chiyoda Ward in the northeast, and the iron bridge is guarded by the river in the middle of the mountainside, and the geographical location is absolutely superior.
