Chapter 41: The Glory of Mankind Lives On
The huge conference hall seemed to press the mute button, and everyone looked at Duncan in unison.
Duncan stood in the center of the chamber and walked around slowly, as if trying to see through the hearts of the people in the chamber.
When you make eye contact with him, you will unconsciously look away, and you will not be able to make eye contact with the eyes that exude a strong aura.
Duncan has a kind of confidence from the inside out, and it is also a sense of superiority comparable to the gods.
This sense of superiority comes from his own special experience, from the arrogance of the traveler himself.
Even because of some willful decisions, I was injured twice in a row after crossing, and it hurt for a long, long time.
But no matter whether Duncan will be beaten by society in the future and lose his arrogance, at least now he can use his overwhelming aura to completely deter this group of careerists who are slightly lacking in confidence.
"Ambrera Company, from January this year to September now, has a net profit of about 800 billion US dollars, and by the end of this year, this figure should reach 1 trillion!"
Duncan paced around the chamber, talking about money, his eyes on every camera that was live.
What I want to say now is not to the boring capitalists, these people have prepared such a good stage for him, if he doesn't take advantage of it, then he is a little sorry for his current status.
"Everybody is fascinated by this set of numbers, and Ambrera is richer than many people, even richer than some small countries! Who can not be tempted by this and do something crazy? ”
Duncan turned around with a smile and pointed at the people in the audience, "You can't, you can't, you can't...... None of you can! ”
A group of capitalists in the auditorium were pointed at their faces and their noses were almost crooked, and two people who couldn't hold their breath even got up and left the conference hall directly.
The guests and parliamentarians who were not named did not say anything, they would never dare to fight, they were all a group of smart people who would pretend to be confused, and their central idea was: You are rich, you are amazing.
After taunting the capitalists, Duncan turned around again and said to the ordinary people on the other side of the camera, who were long speechless:
"I can!"
"A long time ago, the umbrella company was thinking, what is the point of money? We have a lot of money, we have an unimaginable amount of money for ordinary people, and even my worth alone is enough to buy a small country, but why do I have so much money, and what can I do with this money? ”
Duncan didn't leave the money three times, in order to make his words deafening and go straight to the hearts of ordinary people, smashing them so that their heads were swollen and their blood was surging.
……
Inside a small bar in San Antonio, Texas.
A crowd of guests, all of whom were watching Duncan's coin declaration.
These people gritted their teeth one by one, angry and laughing, but there was nothing they could do with Duncan, so they could only complain to each other in the bar and make some declarations of hatred of the rich.
"Hahahaha!"
As a group of people showed their faces hating the rich, a burst of sudden laughter drowned out the low scolding in the bar.
When everyone heard the reputation, they saw a middle-aged man wearing a peaked hat and a plaid shirt.
After seeing everyone looking at him, the slightly bloated middle-aged man pointed to Duncan on the TV and said: "I had a financial dispute with this guy in Raccoon City, but I didn't expect that he would dare to argue with so many people after not seeing him for a few months." ”
"Hey, I remember!" A drinker suddenly patted his head and said to the old Kendo: "Wouldn't this be the big fat sheep you often talk about?" ”
Old Kendo was a little anxious when he heard this, and retorted: "How could I have said such a thing! If it gets out, don't slander me! You must have misunderstood, I just said that Boss Duncan was generous and never cared about money! ”
"Okay, if you don't want me to say it, you can't invite me to drink two glasses!" The drinker smiled and took the opportunity to kill the old man Ken more.
The surrounding self-cooked drinkers saw that they were taking advantage of it, and they also cheered one after another.
Old Kendo was very kind, and he made a lot of money in Raccoon City, and now he is not short of that wine money, but when he saw the figure on TV, his eyes rolled and said, "If you want me to invite you to drink, do you dare to gamble with me!" ”
When the people around heard this, they were also interested and asked again and again.
"Bet on what!"
"Look at you guy, no matter what you bet on, I'll bet with you today!"
"Hurry up, I'm still waiting for you to drink!"
Even the owner behind the bar laughed and mingled.
Kendo pointed to the wall-mounted TV on the side of the bar, Duncan to be precise, and said, "Let's bet on him, bet on him if he will pay us!" I bet he would! ”
"Then I'll bet he won't!"
"Old Kendo, you guy's bad heart is really not small, I bet he will!"
"Let's be clear, Kendo is definitely playing a trick on us! Don't believe him! ”
"Shet!" Old Kendo raised his fist with a smile, and then said: "I will invite you to drink tonight, and if I lose, then I will invite you to drink for three days!" ”
"Yay!"
The crowd cheered, and then continued to watch Duncan's speech, and the more they watched, the more serious they became, and finally fell into a silent shock.
……
While the people in the bar were opening the game, Duncan was explaining the history of the Umbrella Company.
"The umbrella is sitting on billions of dollars, and we have always done how to make money profitable, but now we are thinking, when there is no shortage of money, does money still matter? Going back to the previous question, what is the meaning of money? ”
Duncan stopped his voice, faced the quiet people in the conference hall, and said seriously: "Money is the equivalent created for trading, it is precious, but it is not so precious. It is the credibility of a country, not a particular item, that supports this equivalent. So, for me, money is a trust! ”
"Now that I alone have the trust of most people on this planet, what kind of response should I give to that trust? I think I've found the answer......"
Duncan pulled out three small silver beads from his clothes, and then controlled the red to turn off the headlights in the conference hall.
Three small silver beads slipped from his hand, and after falling to the ground, they automatically formed a triangle, and immediately, a brilliant starry sky was projected inside the beads.
People who were still confused were startled by the sudden appearance of holograms, and everyone was looking stunned in response to this science and technology that subverted imagination.
In this era when ordinary people are still using button mobile phones, in this era when computers are not LCD screens, in this era when the old and the new have not changed!
The hologram technology thrown by Duncan is like an alien technology that suddenly appeared on the earth, unheard of and unseen!
Ordinary people's understanding of civilian cutting-edge technology is limited to fast network speed and small size.
The shocking effect of the sudden holographic image technology on them is like a mobile phone or a bb machine the day before, and it is incomprehensible to jump to a full-screen 5G mobile phone when you wake up.
Duncan saw the shocked looks of the people around him, and his tone was firm and decisive, "I want to say...... Entering the universe for mankind and opening up new horizons is the best response to the trust that Umbrella Company gives to everyone!
It has taken humans three million years to go from being prey chased by wild beasts to dominating the earth today.
The recorded history of mankind is only 5,000 years, and the explosive development of human science and technology is only a few hundred years.
In this short period of hundreds of years, some people think that humanity will be ruined by excessive profligacy?
What I'm saying is, as long as I'm alive, it will never happen!
We will fly back out of Earth and land on the moon again to collect new energy. We're also going to Mars to build new cities.
I want mankind to walk out of the solar system, I want mankind to no longer be limited to the home planet, and I want all earthlings to be able to proudly shout in the process of conquering the universe: The glory of mankind will last forever! ”
