"Don't worry, the funds are enough, if 10 million is not enough, 20 million, I have only one requirement for you, that is, only success, not failure." Xia Shang's gaze swept over the researcher's face one by one.

"During this time, each of you will be paid overtime and bonuses, but I will only give you three months, and when the time comes, all of you will have to be fired, and you will have to bear my wrath."

"Guaranteed to get the job done." Dr. Alec said in a difficult tone.

"Let's develop the temporary No. 5 compound first, and as for the No. 5 compound, we can put it back for a while."

Before leaving the black robe, Xia Shang had already obtained a complete No. 5 compound from Edgarna, as well as the formula of the temporary No. 5 compound, it stands to reason that with a complete formula, it should not be difficult to develop a temporary No. 5 compound.

"Yes, Mr. Jerves."

Dr. Alec hit the nail on the head and promised to give the results within three months.

"I'm sure you can do it, don't let me down."

…………

The time quickly came to May 1974, more than two months after Xia Shang took over the Weiss newspaper office.

During this time, Faith acquired seven small newspapers and two medium-sized newspapers, and its influence in Washington soared, with the number of subscribers exceeding one million, making it a high-profile newspaper newspaper.

For a while, it was rumored that there was a mysterious financier with an unknown identity but very strong financial resources behind the Weiss newspaper, which was likely to be a chaebol from Wall Street.

Because the recent acquisition of the newspaper is not only Xia Shang, but also the famous financial predator, Warren Buffett, this guy recently used $10.6 million to buy the Washington Post and became the second largest shareholder in addition to the Graham family.

In addition, he has invested in a number of newspapers, and to date, he owns at least 30 newspapers, especially the Washington Post, which is not even inferior to Time magazine.

It is one of the most well-known newspapers in the United States.

Compared to the Washington Post, the Vess Daily can only be regarded as in its infancy.

"Mr. Gervis, are you sure you want to open a new issue, and it's about mutants?"

In the president's office, Camille, who has a thin body, has a more bitter expression than a bitter melon, everyone knows that mutants are a taboo topic nowadays, and they can't even touch it, and if the Weiss Daily announces to the outside world that it will open a new issue related to mutants, it is estimated that it will be drowned by the angry people with spit.

"Forget it, Mr. Jervis, since the mutants killed Dr. Truss in public, the public's attitude towards mutants can be said to be at the bottom, and I'm worried about ......" Camille raised his hand and pointed to the ceiling, "It will cause suppression from above, you better think about it." ”

Unexpectedly, after Xia Shang heard this, he smiled lightly, took out a manuscript from the drawer, and handed it to Camille: "Aren't you curious about what happened between mutants that led them to attack US President Kennedy and kill Dr. Truss who proposed the [Sentinel Plan] in public." ”

"Oh my God!" Camille lowered his head, looked at the content on the manuscript, and couldn't help but exclaim, his mouth opened as if he could stuff an egg.

"Sebastian Shaw, codenamed the Black Emperor, has the ability to absorb all forms of energy and finally transform it into its own energy.

During World War II, under the pseudonym Klaus Schmidt, he was a scientist in Naqu, and found Magneto in his youth in the Auschwitz concentration camp, and later shot Magneto's mother in order to develop Magneto's abilities, in addition to trying to detonate the Cuban Missile Crisis, with the intention of provoking World War III. ”

Camille actually felt that the manuscript in his hand was heavier than steel, which was definitely a secret among secrets.

His throat and eyes were a little dry, but he managed to hold back his excitement and continue reading.

"Eric Lansell, codenamed Magneto, has the ability to manipulate metal, and with that ability he killed the Black Emperor, successfully prevented World War III, my God, if these are published in the newspapers, our newspapers will definitely go crazy." Camille held the manuscript's hand and trembled.

"People often have a fear of the unknown, and fear breeds curiosity." Xia Shang smiled and said softly.

"The Washington Post is a piece of, and with these things, sooner or later we in the Vis Daily will have to surpass him."

The manuscript not only recorded the identity information of the two people, but also what they did at that time, although the process was not so detailed, but it was enough to satisfy the appetite of the people.

"In the second issue of the new issue, there will also be a heavyweight who played a decisive role in the Cuban crisis."

"Who is it?" Camille asked eagerly.

"That's what I want."

Xia Shang pretended to be mysterious, laughing but not speaking.

"So what's the name of our new issue? How often is it issued? Camille had realized that the new issue would definitely become an instant hit, even if it would be banned by the government.

There is no doubt that once the new journal is released, it will immediately cause a new round of public opinion storm, and at that time, even the government may not be able to withstand the surging public opinion.

"It's called Mutant Weekly, and it's published once a week."

After working in Walter for so long, Xia Shang has long been familiar with how to guide public opinion, so the first thing to do now is not to create mutant heroes, but to increase the influence of Vis Newspaper, at least to become the most well-known newspaper in the United States like the Washington Post.

"I'll go to the editorial office right away and ask all of them to devote all their energy to the creation of the new issue, and strive to publish the first issue of the mutant weekly in the shortest possible time."

Camille didn't hesitate for a moment, turned and walked out of the office.

"It's time for the god-making project to begin." Xia Shang looked at Camille's back as he left in a hurry and muttered softly.

…………

"Robbery!" Several masked robbers burst into a bank in Washington, armed with submachine guns, and fired at the ceiling.

The piercing gunfire frightened everyone and hurriedly squatted down to hold their heads, and the customer who was withdrawing money saw this, pushed the banknotes he had just taken out into the counter, "Deposit money, hurry up and deposit the money for me." ”

The man's expression was horrified, and he turned his head to look at the intruding robbers.

It's a pity that both the salesman and the security guard at the door were scared silly by the robbers who suddenly broke in.

"Put all the money in!" One of the robbers shot the man to death, then took out a black cloth bag, stuffed it into the counter window, and pointed the muzzle of the gun at the female saleswoman's head, threatening: "Hurry up, or I will shoot you in the head!" ”

"Wait a minute—wait a minute." The saleswoman hurriedly stuffed the banknotes into the cloth bag, and said in a trembling voice.
