Chapter 1133: The Purpose of the Hand Society
"Major shareholders demand "benefit over profit", corporate hero - Daniel Rand
It was the front page of the New York Gazette, and it made Ward Meacham very unhappy.
Just yesterday evening, he gave an exclusive interview to Jennifer Mannie, a reporter for the New York Gazette, in his office, lest she seize Daniel's resume of going to a psychiatric hospital and make a big splash, thus affecting the image of the RAND Group.
Regarding Daniel's admission to a mental hospital, Ward described it as Daniel has just returned to modern society and has not adapted to the development of modern society, so he will enter the mental hospital to recuperate, and he is like a "Tarzan" who has returned from the primeval forest.
The image of "Taishan" is always better than being treated as a mental patient, so Ward also took the new drug pricing during the day as an analogy, the drug to cure kala-azar is a drug that they have been researching and developing for a long time, testing, applying for patents, and finally passing the review of the official department before preparing to produce a drug, which is aside from the production cost, the RAND Group has invested a lot of money, ready to make a lot of money with this drug, and then invest in the next drug research and development.
However, at the pricing meeting, Daniel suddenly walked in, and then used his absolute controlling stake to force them to sell at cost price, which cost at least hundreds of millions of dollars, and several of the company's executives expressed great dissatisfaction with this.
Originally, Ward hoped that Jennifer Mannie would be able to report on Daniel as he said, but he never imagined that the New York Gazette would make Daniel Rand's image a corporate hero with a sense of social responsibility, which made him a little laughable.
Even because of this, the stock price of the RAND Group, which was originally somewhat depressed, began to rise.
Since the identity problem of Daniel Rand was resolved, Ward also sensed the sinister intentions from Wall Street, these people originally planned to take advantage of the equity dispute that the RAND Group is likely to have to make a good profit, but they did not expect the RAND Group to solve this problem very quickly, so that the stock price fell smoothly, so that some people suffered a little loss.
This incident made Ward break out in a cold sweat, he didn't expect that so many people were staring at the RAND Group, if it was really targeted by so many hungry wolves on Wall Street, then the RAND Group would inevitably lose a lot in the stock market, but fortunately!
Sometimes Ward has to admit that he is indeed inferior to Harold, whether it is vision or determination, he is still far behind.
Putting down the newspaper, Ward picked up the whiskey on the table and took a sip, just as the door to his office was pushed open without warning, and Daniel Rand walked straight in and walked to his desk, where the small bag was placed.
"Daniel, when will you learn to be polite?" Ward was very dissatisfied with Daniel's behavior, he put down the wine glass in his hand, said a word to Daniel, and then looked at the small bag on the table and asked, "What is this?" ”
"It's coming in from the group's new dock, Ward." Daniel Rand stared at Ward and said, "Can't you see what it is?" ”
Of course, Ward quickly recognized it, his face changed instantly, he glared at Daniel fiercely, then quickly stood up, walked over and closed the office door, then turned around and pointed at Daniel's chest and said, "How dare you?" How dare you bring drugs to my office? ”
"Listen, Ward, I've got to figure out the facts we're going to face." Daniel Rand looked worried.
Ward retorted dissatisfiedly, "Then why do you think this matter has anything to do with us?" ”
"Yang Haiqing." Daniel revealed the source of this thing: "He is the head of the Yang Company, and the Yang Company is a front, the foreskin company of the crime syndicate Axe Gang. Yang Haiqing used to have business at our dock, and after we bought the dock, we drove them away, and now they are very angry, but don't worry, I've got this done. ”
"That's a good thing!" Ward looked at Daniel, shook his head with a little smirk, and said, "Why, do you want me to call the police station and say that we drove out the Axe Gang who trafficked drugs at the docks, and then send the police station a pennant to you." ”
"You don't understand what I mean, Ward." Daniel leaned over to Ward and said in a low voice, "I asked Yang Haiqing why the Hand Club wanted that dock, and they sent me a box this morning, and this is what it is!" Here's a message! ”
The Hand was using the RAND Group to sell drugs, and Ward couldn't help but laugh a little, looked at Daniel and said, "Do you know how crazy this sounds? ”
The RAND Group is a large multinational group with a market value of more than tens of billions of US dollars, with an annual profit of more than 1 billion US dollars alone, with such profit margins, why should the Hand Group use the RAND Group to do those illegal businesses, it is too dangerous, once the matter is exposed, even the RAND Group will be dragged into the water, Ward does not think that those people in the Hand will be so stupid, and for so many years, he has not found any trace of the drug trafficking business of the Hand Group.
"I'm not crazy at all." Daniel pointed to the bag on the table and said to Daniel with a straight face, "Look at the logo on the bag. ”
Seeing Daniel's straight face, Ward frowned and looked down at the bag, which in Ward's opinion was a sign that resembled a long snake.
But Daniel had a different opinion, and he said with a serious face: "This is not a snake, this is a sign of longevity." Shou Lao is from Kunlun, and it was Shou Lao who made me a living weapon. ”
It really wasn't a snake, it was a dragon, a dragon-shaped symbol from the East, and the name of this dragon was Immortal Dragon, Immortal Dragon Shou Lao.
And Daniel Rand is Kunlun Iron Fist, and the source of his strength comes from a dragon-shaped symbol on his chest, and it is precisely because of this that Daniel Rand is very sensitive to such a drug, which forced him to come to Ward desperately.
"Well, I really don't understand it now." Ward somewhat understood that it had something to do with Daniel's origins, but what did it have to do with him.
"The dragon!" Daniel became a little anxious, and he pointed to the sign and said, "Can't you see, it's all connected." ”
As a standard American, Ward knew very little about Oriental culture, let alone as an executive of a large multinational corporation, and it was impossible to know much about the mythology of a certain aspect of Oriental culture.
Looking at Ward's expression, Daniel hung his head helplessly, and after a long time, he finally said: "Let's put it simply, the Hand are using our company to smuggle synthetic heroin into the city, and we need to stop them." Harold said it himself, and you were there. ”
"You figured it all out because a Chinese dropped a box at your door." Ward couldn't help laughing, this matter is like this, the next moment, he smiled, and said coldly: "No." ”
"But Harold ......" Daniel became a little anxious and directly took out Harold to press Ward.
"It's between the two of you." Ward shook his head expressionlessly and said, "I have real business to do in the real world. ”
After saying that, Ward began to lower his head and focus on the work at hand, no longer paying attention to Daniel who was sitting there, Daniel saw that Ward no longer cared about this matter, he snorted angrily, and then turned around and left the office directly, leaving the drug on Ward's desk.
Ward called Daniel a few times, and Daniel left as if he hadn't heard, and he had no choice but to put the drug in the drawer of his desk, and then leaned back in his chair, thinking about the whole thing.
How can this matter be so simple, what Daniel said may be very likely to be true, but this is a need for evidence, the Hand has infiltrated the RAND Group for so many years, how easy it is to find out their handles, if according to what Daniel said, the whole stall was rudely opened, then how can the RAND Group get out of this matter, as long as there is a media report that the RAND Group is suspected of drug smuggling, then the RAND Group will inevitably fall into a turbulent turmoil.
This matter needs to be thought through and considered in the long run.
