Chapter 6 Reality Roundtable 15
"Knock knock."
Before Victor could finish speaking, there was a knock on the door to the conference room.
Ivis outside the door walked in and bowed: "Mr. Theo, Scott's deputy, Miss Julian, is here." β
As he spoke, a young lady walked in behind him, she was tall and jumpy, wearing a tight jumpsuit, and her long blond hair hung down her waist, fluttering gently with her footsteps.
She walked over to the round table, paused, and bowed to the five high-level leaders in the room.
"Distinguished ladies and gentlemen, there is something wrong with the operation of the [Minghe System], and Mr. Scott cannot take a break for the time being, so I have come to represent him at the meeting."
"What's wrong with the [Minghe system]?" The patriarch frowned slightly.
Julian's words also touched the hearts of everyone present.
As we all know, the [Minghe System] is a joint venture project carried out by various countries, although the technical support of [Kohl Company] is now entrusted, but once there is a problem, the joint investigation of various countries will definitely dig out the [bloody eye] behind [Kohl Company], and the organization will be dangerous at that time.
Therefore, the problem of the [Minghe system] is actually the problem of the whole organization.
This is a piece of fat meat that is delicious but not easy to eat.
"Rest assured, it's not a big problem, it's just that the [Hunter's] helmet is missing, and our recovery work is not going well." As Julian said this, he glanced at Theo with a blank look.
Theo's eyes twitched slightly, but he pressed them down without a trace.
"Hmph, I have opposed the identity setting of [Hunter] in the [Minghe System] from the beginning, if you think about it, renting the identity of [Hunter] to those ugly-faced dignitaries, rich businessmen and nobles must have something to do, and now it has come true." Mrs. Lola poured cold water.
Madame Lola was above Julian, and even though Julian wanted to refute his leader, he couldn't speak at this time.
She could only bow her head silently, and in her heart she told herself to complete the task assigned by her superiors.
Mr. Scott is now deploying personnel to find the lost helmet, and is also in a meeting to discuss the rules and gameplay of a new game, so he is unable to attend the roundtable. But Mr. Scott instructed me to bring something......"
As she spoke, she took out a small boxy box, about the size of a mobile phone, put the box on the table, stood it up, pressed the switch, and projected a 3D virtual portrait.
It's Scott.
"Oh? γBiotechnology GroupγInvented something new? Laura looked curiously at the blue virtual Scott.
"Yes. This is called a virtual video device, which can scan the recording screen and delay the projection, in addition to the portrait, objects and scenes can be imaged in three dimensions. Mr. Scott recorded this last night and asked me to bring it over, and he said he would use it today. β
Julian said, pressing play, and Scott's avatar began to speakβ
"Good morning, guys, it's been a long time since the five of us met, but unfortunately I can't be there for today's meeting, but my respect will not be reduced by half a point."
"Elder, don't come unharmed, I haven't been to greet your old man for a long time, and I would like to send my sincere advice here, I hope you are in good health. Mrs. Laura, I think there are some provisions in the "Regulations on the Revision of the Biosafety Law" that you are promoting recently, and I hope that you can slightly modify the proposed proposal, and I will contact you privately for the specific situation, and I also wish the business of the [Human Smuggling Group] to a higher level. β
"Victor, I think you must have been there, and I don't think your face is very good right now." The avatar raised its arm and waved it casually, "But it's okay, today's roundtable doesn't seem to have anything to do with your wishes." The Pope set up the Round Table to prevent the organization from becoming a single word, and major personnel changes must be voted on by the five leaders, and I think this rule is very democratic, and I will exercise my right as the head of the [Biotechnology Group] today......"
The virtual Scott paused, as if it was signal interference, and his virtual image flickered for a moment, but then regained its steady.
At this stage, everyone can see that Vincent's rice bucket can only be a deputy at best, and during the time he is in charge of the first leader. Although I don't understand the rules of operation of the Arms Trafficking Group, as one of the five highest-ranking people in the organization, I think it is necessary to raise my doubts and express my thoughts and suggestions on the development of the organization in a timely manner. β
Scott's meaning was clear, and Theo glanced at Victor with a hint of triumph in his eyes.
Victor knew what he meant, and on the surface he remained silent, but gradually clenched his fists.
The wind is not in the right direction.
Things went in a direction beyond his control.
His ominous premonition was about to come true......
"So, I think it's necessary to hold a roundtable at this time, since Theo has been released from prison, whether it's through normal channels or escaped, I don't care, but I think the business of the [Arms Trafficking Group] should be returned to him." Scott's virtual avatar said, making a statement, "After all, Theo's ability is still obvious to all, and the [Arms Trafficking Group] has become larger and larger under his management, and the Pope is also very sure of his ability." β
Scott spoke his point, Theo, and got a vote.
At the end of the play, Scott's 3D virtual portrait flickered and disappeared, and the conference room of the University fell into silence for a while, and no one spoke for a while.
Mrs. Lola glanced at Theo and saw that he was looking at her, like a predator at the top of the food chain looking at the prey below, a look that made her very unhappy, but because the handle was in his hands, she had to cooperate with him.
ββ¦β¦ Well, it's my turn, I'm rooting for Theo. Madame Lola raised her hand and made her choice.
Theo, got two votes.
(Next...... οΌ
Theo looked at the patriarch and found that the kind old man was slowly sitting down in the chair, and he was not in a hurry to make a statement, as if he was thinking about whether this vote was worth it to Theo.
Victor seized the opportunity and said, "Patriarch, I'm against Theo. I think Theo's method is too extreme, and it can be seen from the fact that he broke my capital chain with vicious means today, this has no overall concept, and if he is allowed to be the top person in charge of the [Arms Trafficking Group] again, I am afraid that the organization will be brought into the abyss. Although Vincent is not as good as Theo in terms of results, at least Vincent's style of doing things is not so extreme, and the golden mean is good for us. β
Vincent, got a vote.
The senator sat in his chair, his fingertips tapping on the table, thinking about Victor's words.
Theo narrowed his eyes dangerously, "Victor, if there is no one who can compete with you, your next plan is to annex the [Bloody Eye] organization." β
"Theo, don't impose your ambitions on me." Victor spread his hands, "I have always been loyal to the Pope, to [Bloody Eye], I have been in the financial group for more than 30 years, I have devoted my heart and soul to it, unlike you, who want to destroy the organization for your own selfish desires." β
"Selfish desires?" Theo sneered, "Hmph, who betrayed me first because of 'selfish desires'?" If it weren't for the collusion between you and the black police, I would have been in jail?! β
ββ¦β¦β
"Elder, this man is the one who is going to destroy the [Bloody Eye] organization." Theo looked at the patriarch and bit back at Victor, "If I fail today and no one in the organization can compete with him, he will really be the only one." β
"Theo, you're going a little too far, is it true that the patriarch and I are dead." Mrs. Lola interrupts Theo.
"Oh? If you have the ability, you won't even be able to protect your sister and adopted son? Need me to remind you of the stupid error code before? Theo's words were sharp, like a knife, into Laura's heart.
In one sentence, he referred to the past that Madame Lola had been reluctant to mention.
Touched by the scales, Madame Lola slapped the table and stood up: "Theo, pay attention to your words! I can vote for Vinson right now! β
"That's all you can do." Theo sneered, "If you're not worried about what you see tomorrow is Laura's body, you can change your ticket, I won't stop you." β
"You-"
"Alright, alright." The patriarch shook his hand and interrupted the two people who were arguing fiercely, "Everyone is here to serve the organization, why hurt the harmony?" β
Theo and Lady Lola glanced at each other, and neither of them looked away angrily.
The patriarch glanced at Theo: "Theo, you are very smart, you are always able to skillfully solve the crisis you face, even if you were at a disadvantage before, you can also fight back, your decision-making ability and adaptability are beyond doubt." β
"The veteran has won the prize."
"But......," the patriarch said, "you're still too young, and sometimes you're impulsive. In contrast, Laura and Victor are much more stable than you. Theo, you act decisively, but unsteadily, like driving a fast train but walking on a winding mountain road, your desire for speed and impatience will hurt you sooner or later. β
ββ¦β¦ Be. Theo bowed his head and was taught.
The patriarch walked to Theo's side with his hands behind his back, his eyes calm as autumn water: "I remember that the last time I spoke to the Pope, he recalled the bits and pieces of the beginning of our business, and he told me that he and I are both old, and occasionally our heads are not bright, and even the decision will begin to hesitate, so I have missed some opportunities, and it is time to promote some new people to take on heavy responsibilities." β
A word from the patriarch made his position clear.
Victor's face was even more ugly, and instead, Theo looked up at the patriarch with a bit of realization.
"Could it be...... Could it be that the Pope had foreseen what would happen today at that time? β
The patriarch nodded, and he looked into the distance: "Theo, this is where you still need to hone and learn, never just look at the present, but look at the long term." Just like today, what if you really break the financial group's capital chain, if Victor can't fill the gap in funds? Will it affect the entire organization to accompany the funeral? β
"Rest assured, veteran, I have negotiated with the Iraqi arms dealer on behalf of Vincent, and directly tripled the price of this armunition, and the extra money can just fill the gap of 30 million funds." Theo said, looking at Victor and saying word for word, "There is no need to use the deposit in the vault. β
(He actually kept a hand?!) οΌ
Victor pursed his lower lip, his face full of calculated unwillingness.
Now his reason for deliberately attacking Theo is also untenable.
Because Theo did not cut off the capital chain, but increased the transaction amount of the [Arms Trafficking Group].
Even the patriarch looked at Theo with a little surprise, obviously, the young man in front of him was more capable than he thought.
After a while, he nodded reassuringly: "In that case, I also support Theo as the head of the [Arms Trafficking Group]." β
Three to one, he won.
Theo breathed a sigh of relief, and his nerves, which had been tense, relaxed a little.
He finally got his rights back and returned to his place.
Victor glared at Theo and turned to leave.
"Victor." Theo stopped her.
Victor paused.
"We look forward to continuing to work together in the future."
Oh, what an understatement.
Victor drilled his fists and walked away without saying a word.
He knew that he had missed the best opportunity to deal with Theo, and now he had become the supreme leader of the [Arms Trafficking Group], with the same status as him Victor, and he was the same as the five supreme leaders.
Theo watched Victor's back disappear into the chamber, then turned around and bowed deeply to Lady Lola.
Mrs. Lola stood up in silence and left with her laptop.
But halfway through, he turned back and looked at him viciously: "Theo, listen up, this is the first and last time, if you dare to attack my sister, I will kill you directly next time!" β
Theo smiled slightly, and replied politely: "Thank you for your great help today, Mrs. Lola's sister is naturally our honored guest, we will definitely send her back safe and sound, naturally, she is not a member of the organization, and I don't have a chance to see her again in the future." β
Laura snorted coldly and left with unquenched anger.
In the conference hall, only Julian, Senator, and Theo remained.
Theo snapped his fingers, and Avis walked into the chamber.
"Mr. Theo."
"Send dear Miss Julian back to Cole Cole, and don't slack her."
"Yes."
Julian bowed to Theo and the senator, and left with the smart projection device, leaving only the footsteps of his heels faintly audible.
After a while, the patriarch looked at Theo and smiled faintly: "You offended Victor and Lola all of a sudden today, it seems that you have a detour to go next." β
"It's okay, these little frictions are inevitable." Theo bowed politely, "Thank you for giving me the ticket." β
ββ¦β¦ It's not that I chose you, it's the Pope who chose you, and I hope he didn't see the wrong person. β
"Yes, I will definitely live up to the Pope's deep meaning with you."
He deliberately raised the senator to the same rank as the pope, which made the senator very comfortable to hear.
You must know that as one of the two founders of the organization, the patriarch has never had real power in his hands, which is his heart disease, even if he can't bear it and pretend to be indisputable, but who can face fame and fortune without blushing?
Theo saw his weakness and seized on it.
If Victor wins today, and there is no existence in the organization that can compete with him, then not to mention the Pope, even the senator may not be able to keep it.
Therefore, the vote in the hands of the patriarch, he is the most inevitable.
"Do you need me to send you back?"
"No, I like to walk along the street and see the scenery. Today's young people live at a fast pace, and they don't have time to look at the scenery on the roadside, which is a waste of these great scenery. As he spoke, the patriarch picked up a sandalwood cane from the round table and walked slowly towards the door of the first conference room.
Theo snapped his fingers again, and this time, it was a black deputy in a suit, Wright.
"Mr. Theo."
"Escort the senators from afar and ensure their safety."
"Yes." Wright nodded and walked over to the senator and saluted respectfully, "Senator." β
The patriarch raised his head and looked at the tall man in front of him through thick glasses: "This kid ...... I remember following Vinson before, why, he turned out to be your man? β
The patriarch looked back at Theo, but saw Theo smile mysteriously: "Vincent doesn't need a deputy anymore." β
"You killed him?" The patriarch was a little surprised.
"Iron buckets, cement, sunken corpses." In a few words, Theo briefly described a bloody picture.
ββ¦β¦ Theo, are you so sure you'll win today? β
"It wasn't because I was sure I killed him...... It's about making sure that no matter what the outcome of today's vote is, the winner will be me. Theoyun explained lightly, "For this, there can only be one candidate." β
