Chapter 197: Umbrella Company
New York.
Midtown High School.
"Owen Lee, 18, 12th grader at Midtown High School, orphan, excellent ......"
Melinda looked at Owen's profile, everything was normal in the front, and the back changed.
At the age of 17, with his super IQ and mathematical talent, he earned $600 million in the financial market, acquired the New York biotechnology company that was on the verge of bankruptcy due to Osborne's industrial expansion, changed its name to Umbrella Company, and served as the chief scientist. ”
"In that respect, this Owen Lee is a bit like Norman Osborne. ”
Melinda frowned and said, "We all want to start from scratch and build a powerful technology business empire, even if Fury is interested, it is useless, we simply have the ability to adopt him." ”
"No!"
Coulson laughed, "It seems to me that he's not Norman Osborne, but a cross between Norman Osborne and Tony Stark." ”
Melinda sneered, "You're talking about him and Tony Stark having a romantic relationship?"
"Yes. ”
Coulson nodded: "If we are all like Norman Osborne, who is focused on their own technology business empire, we really don't have any ability to co-opt him, at most the two sides cooperate, but this Owen Lee has the same lifestyle as Tony Stark, and we have a lot of opportunities."
Think about what Tony Stark looked like when he was younger, Owen Lee has no Stark family background, and if something happens, his umbrella company can only survive by relying on powerful forces, and we are his best choice. ”
"Yes. ”
Melinda's face softened, and she analyzed very dutifully: "With his earning ability, if he can work for us, it will indeed be of great use." ”
The primary condition for the existence and development of any organization is money, and without sufficient funds, it is useless to rely on ideals and beliefs alone.
This is especially true of S.H.I.E.L.D. (as it will be called in the future), if it wants to become a global intelligence security organization, the equipment, training, and operations required by that huge group of agents alone will cost a huge amount of money at all times.
Not to mention Nick Fury's penchant for building secret bases around the world, which are coveted even by the U.S. military, and consume as many resources as you can imagine.
In the future, there will be three aerospace aircraft carriers as soon as they are built, what a lot of money!
Where does all this money come from?
Most of it was allocated by the United States, and the rest of the Security Council would certainly have to invest some of it, but that would only be enough to cover the apparent expenditures.
Those secretly massive top-secret expenses, just tossing and turning on the surface, is absolutely not enough!
Therefore, S.H.I.E.L.D. must have private funding channels!
One of the founders of S.H.I.E.L.D., Howard Stark, Tony Stark's father, founded Stark Industries, and it would be a joke to say that S.H.I.E.L.D. did not secretly hold a stake in the Stark Group.
This kind of operation is definitely not a special case, with the resources of intelligence, talent, science and technology and other aspects mastered by S.H.I.E.L.D., there are definitely not a few shares of high-quality companies that are secretly controlled.
Even if you take into account the other sectors of the United States, the proportion of shares in these high-quality companies is not large, but the sand is gathered into a tower, and the funds that can be gathered are huge.
That's what makes Nick Fury capable of building secret bases around the world!
As Nick Fury's henchmen, Coulson and Melinda both know that as long as Owen refuses to be solicited by S.H.I.E.L.D., the umbrella company will definitely have all kinds of trouble.
The two who led S.H.I.E.L.D. almost as the 'Virgin' in the future didn't feel anything wrong with treating Owen and the Umbrella Company like this......
They are all elite agents trained by S.H.I.E.L.D. through special training, and they have carried out countless dangerous missions, and if they were really 'Holy Mother', they would have died countless times.
The reason why he later changed the domineering of the Nick Fury period and appeared as the "Virgin" Coulson was only because the situation required him to do so.
At that time, Hydra re-emerged through the shell of S.H.I.E.L.D., making S.H.I.E.L.D. a cancer that everyone shouted at and the number one terrorist organization in the world.
The hard ones can't come, and in order to survive, they can only show weakness in various ways, make compromises, and be willing to sacrifice everything for the sake of world peace.
In the final analysis, everything is just a human need.
Now they are in the period of flowers and fire, and where do they need to treat Owen as a 'virgin'.
Washington, DC.
Trident headquarters.
In the tall, bright office, a bald black man with one eye and an eyepatch browsed the information sent by Coulson, looked at the final comments, tapped his fingers on Owen's photo, squinted and muttered for a while, pressed on the desk, and a transparent screen appeared.
"Pick me up Agent Romanoff. ”
S.H.I.E.L.D.'s secret training base.
"Natasha, get out of line!"
"Yes. ”
A girl with a delicate face and a good figure walked out of the queue and came to the office of the director of the training base under the instructions of the instructor.
The director of the training base looked at Natasha, who was calm and calm, nodded secretly, and said in his heart: "It is worthy of being the trump card of Su Honghong's house, a super agent who broke into the name of Black Widow at the age of only 18." ”
"Natasha, Deputy Director Fury has a mission for you, and this is also your first mission to join S.H.I.E.L.D., I hope you will complete it well. ”
"Yes. ”
Natasha replied succinctly.
In fact, with her ability, if it weren't for the fact that she was not a descendant, but defected from Su Hong's side, she would have been released to perform difficult tasks a long time ago.
Nowadays, training is more about completing various assessments.
This level of lurking is too simple for an ace agent like her.
New York.
Queens.
A building is changing its logo, which has attracted the attention of many passers-by, only to see that the logo is a red and white umbrella logo composed of eight fans, next to which is an artistic font: "Umbrella Company!"
There is a line of small print underneath, which is clearly the slogan of the umbrella company: "Our business is life itself!"
Under the sun, the red and white umbrella-shaped logo seems to move, which makes many passers-by deeply impressed by this unique logo.
"Is this your company?"
Gwen, led by Owen, walked into the building, saw the umbrella logo everywhere inside, and couldn't help but praise: "What a cool logo, what a cool name!"
"Huh. ”
Owen smiled slightly, feeling the same way.
In his previous life, he had watched countless science fiction movies, and said that the most impressive mark, the logo of the umbrella group, was definitely at the forefront.
Since there is no umbrella group here, Owen will naturally not let go of this classic name and logo when he forms his own high-tech group company.
