Chapter 199: A Crowded Super Hero Trial!
"In response to the attack that just happened, we at Walter have decided to launch a research campaign for the public, the content of which is, whether to support the legalization of compound No. 5, we sincerely invite all citizens in the United States to participate in this research activity, if the support rate exceeds 60%, Walter Group will do its best to promote the legalization of compound No. 5."
Edgar straightened his back and looked solemn: "If the approval rate is less than 60%, Walter will voluntarily stop the research and use of compound five." ”
"The event, which is expected to start next Monday, will last for a week."
"I'm sorry, I beg your pardon for interrupting you, now there is a barrage asking what will happen if Compound Five is not legalized? Will it affect their daily lives? A staff member standing in front of the screen in the conference room threw out the question that Edgar had prepared in advance.
"Of course." Edgar sat back in his chair, "Imagine if a super-terrorist broke into the campus and was ready to start a massacre, who would protect them?" A security guard at school, or a helpless teacher? At that point, every second counts.
But if Compound 5 is legalized, Walter will be able to join forces with the police to carry out a rescue, and at the speed of the motherland, he can go to any location on the map of the United States in a short time, not only that, but the Department of Defense and some other departments will also have their own superhuman, which can well protect the lives of the American people. ”
"And what about Compound Five that can't be legalized?" The staff then asked.
"If it can't be legalized, it means that Walter Group is not qualified to rescue, and Walter and its superheroes will be blacklisted."
Edgar's abacus crackled in Xia Shang's heart, and he was worthy of being the president of Walter, and it was estimated that everything had been planned a long time ago.
First through Victoria, a terrorist attack was launched at the hearing, and then the live broadcast showed that the matter had nothing to do with Walter, you know, the list of those killed this time also included Walter's staff, if a vice president of Xia Shangtang also died in the attack, it would be perfect.
But because Xia Shang is not dead, he can only buckle the black cauldron on Starlight's head to get rid of Walter's suspicion.
And, taking advantage of the panic of the people, announced the launch of a survey to promote the legalization of compound five, with a 60% approval rating? With the current situation, even a staggering 90% may be achievable, let alone 60 percent.
The results of the research activities speak for themselves, and in the end, even if the authorities do not want to recognize the legalization of compound No. 5, they must pass the plan under pressure from the public! This is the will of the people, after all, everyone has a ballot in their hands, and as long as Mr. President, if he wants to be re-elected for the next term, he must respect the opinions of the masses.
"Thank you Mr. Edgar for answering the question raised by that netizen, and there is also a barrage here asking, does the legalization of compound five mean that everyone can become superhuman? Will he be able to go to the hospital for an injection of compound five? ”
The staff nodded to Edgar.
"Well, that's an interesting question, but unfortunately, Walter doesn't have plans for this for the time being, because there are a lot of complex social issues involved."
Half an hour later, the live broadcast ended at Edgar's signal.
After everyone left the conference room, Edgar was the only one left.
"Next week's research meeting, you are personally responsible, I don't care what means you use, the support rate must exceed 60%, I will say hello on the financial side, don't worry about the lack of budget, at the same time, the position of Starlight, someone needs to replace it, the plan you mentioned before is good, as for the locomotive, he is also a black man, and he still has a certain use value."
"You're in charge of his marketing and promotion, but if you're feeling stressed, you can also give it to Ashley."
"I'll leave it to Ashley, I'm going to be presiding over the Little Superhero selection event recently." Xia Shang said in a deep voice.
"Okay then."
Edgar was quite satisfied with Xia Shang's knowledge.
Jervis has been in the limelight lately, which is not a good sign for him as a manager.
…………
A few days later, the Super League Trials at New York Stadium officially opened, and the scene was almost full of people.
At the same time, Xia Shang in the lounge was flipping through the newspapers of the last few days, although the US government promised the public that it would do its best to investigate the accident that occurred at the hearing, but four days had passed, and there was still no gain.
Therefore, they have lost the trust of the people, and at the same time, under the shadow of the super terrorists, the sense of crisis in the hearts of the masses is getting heavier and heavier, and the only one who can bring them a sense of security at present is the Walter Group, so for a while, the topic of legalizing compound No. 5 has made the headlines of major social software.
On the streets of the United States, you can always hear people talking about compound five.
Under strong social pressure, the President of the United States officially declared a national emergency, and only because of a hearing, the bad public opinion about Walter came directly to a gorgeous reversal! In the stock market, it is almost possible to see Walter's stock price rising in an unstoppable manner.
"Mr. Jervais, here's the list of contestants this time, and their superpowers."
The deputy head of the marketing department pushed open the door of the lounge and handed a list to Xia Shang.
"What's the start of the tryouts?"
The deputy minister looked at his watch, "There are still ten minutes." ”
"I see, you go out first."
Today is the finals of the tryouts, which itself has its own attention, coupled with the recent topic of the Walter Group, which directly fills the popularity of this tryout, it is hard to imagine that the tickets priced at twenty dollars were actually sold out in three minutes, and even the price of the secondary market was speculated to one hundred and twenty dollars.
You know, with this alone, Walter collected 1.6 million, and not counting the peripheral products sold, those are the big heads, the tickets can be worth a few dollars, and the motherland T-shirts that cost 150 US dollars are huge profits, and the ghost knows, how much additional income this trial has added to Walter.
"Okay, Mr. Jervis, you can rest first, and I'll let you know when the event begins."
"Hmm." Xia Shang flipped through the list of selected candidates in his hand.
There are a total of forty-eight people, divided into seven groups, and two people are retained at the end of each group to enter the finals, and then six people are selected from the fourteen people to become members of the Walter Little Seven.
Xia Shang took a general look, and several people's superpowers caught his attention.
Please take a day off, sorry, I need to go out for the last two days, and I may be alone, I hope you can understand.
