Chapter 200: Rise

"Mr. Lee"

"To distinguish me from Martin, you can just call me Lille."

"Okay, Mr. Lille, we understand that you were in a coma a year ago, and in the course of that year, you have founded two companies in a row.

Bloom's ctOS system will be the cornerstone of public safety in New York as the NYPD's designated cooperative security system, and will be deployed in multiple areas with overwhelming public acclaim.

The International Genetic Cooperation Company has achieved remarkable results in transgenic technology, and after an accident, it has re-eluted the negative effects, and has been recognized by many authorities in the medical field.

Now that both companies have gone through their toughest times, you're going to be the youngest, self-made millionaire --

And all this, if you calculate from the time you wake up, it only took a year, some people say that you are already a new generation of geniuses who have surpassed Tony Stark.

Is there anything you would like to say about that? ”

"I would say, money is not the key, and I'm not the key myself, and I want people to pay more attention to what we do and the change that we make."

"Speaking of which, it's almost harder to gain the trust of the public and turn around the public's perception of GM technology than to become a millionaire, so why not choose to abandon these two companies and start a new business?"

"As a technologically advanced organization, we have an obligation to set a better example in society, not to run away from it.

Like I said, making money is not the goal, and we hope that others will see that as well.

Your family, your next-door neighbors, the people of the other world who appear on TV, these people are the purpose of technological development.

It is people who make up society, not things like money and power that create society. ”

"Wow, that's a big goal, and I want to vote you mayor--

Speaking of which, after the incident, the citizens of New York were very dissatisfied with the current mayor and the executive branch, and at one point held many marches.

We also received news that you formed an owners' committee and a workers' mutual aid in Hell's Kitchen early on, does that mean you have a problem with our mayor as well? ”

"Of course - it's not just opinions, I have a lot of strong words about him, but this is an all-age show after all, so I'd better hold it to heart.

Yes, I have a problem with him, I have a big problem with him for throwing the safety of New York at risk, and he seems to have forgotten that it was the citizens of New York who made him mayor of New York, and that he should be a public servant, not an emperor.

Here, I would like to recommend the co-president of the Owners' Council and Workers' Mutual Aid: Anthony Flor, to become the mayor of New York.

He's a political amateur, but together we built these organizations in Hell's Kitchen and drove out criminals. ”

Anthony Flor, Lille's neighbor, the middle-aged Latina man with a loud voice.

Although he was born as a hard worker, he showed a good talent and affinity for speech as his speaking activities continued to increase.

His good brother John, the black man who had been pierced in the throat by a bullseye, stood up for their experience.

Not everyone has the courage and ability to be like Lille, but John and Anthony are just two ordinary people.

At the recent march, the two men's owners' committees and workers' mutual aid groups shone and worked well with the NYPD: The scared politicians rushed to their homes, and there were no gangsters or criminals fishing in troubled waters.

The owners' councils provided outlets for the disgruntled shopkeepers and landlords in the city, while the workers' mutual aid associations provided outlets for the lower strata, and the political power grew and became Anthony's political base.

And the funding for political activities, of course, is provided by Lille and Martin.

In a tailwind game, all the elements are in place, and the expansion of political power is as unstoppable as a chain reaction.

"I'm sure New Yorkers would be more willing to vote for you, but since you say that, they should believe you, too.

So let's end this interview with a piece of good news, shall we? ”

"Absolutely."

"New Yorkers, genetics cooperatives international pledge: unpaid bone marrow donors can enjoy 20 times the amount of donated bone marrow free blood for 5 years, and 5 times the amount of donated bone marrow for life after 5 years.

If you donate 200ml of bone marrow, you can enjoy free blood for life.

Of course, at the moment this policy is only available in the company's controlled hospitals, and you can also transfer the free credit to relatives who need blood.

This is different from other free blood donation policies on the market: International Genetic Cooperative has advanced hematopoietic technology to keep the blood bank and full at all times.

You no longer have to watch a dime of dignitaries adjust blood at the speed of light from thousands of miles away, and even if you reach the donation amount, you will have to face the situation that the blood bank is bloodless when you use blood.

Even, perhaps, in the near future, your donated bone marrow will not only save you and your own families in times of crisis, but also help international genetic cooperatives to take their biotherapeutics to the next level and solve the problem of organ shortages.

International Genetic Cooperation will also cooperate with Lee's Financial to jointly launch a variety of medical insurance, so stay tuned. ”

Although the Osborne Group is a technology company, Osborne has many hospitals and pharmaceutical factories under its control.

As soon as the incident came out, the company's stock price entered a plummeting mode, and Martin, who got first-hand information, of course, took advantage of the situation.

His target was not the company itself, but Osborne's industries.

Factories, hospitals, and research laboratories are all ready-made industrial chains.

However, for many reasons, some of the Osborne Group's properties have been picked up by other companies -

This company called Cyber Technology is the one that has benefited the most besides us, and they have taken the brain-computer interface technology with them."

Martin walked into his office and placed a document on the desk.

Cybertech.

Hydra's own high-tech industry, as the company name suggests, is responsible for researching military combat prosthetics.

Cybertech recently announced a major breakthrough in brain-computer interface technology.

A closer look at the flow of funds should reveal more details about the asset restructuring, but the two men have no agents under their command and are unlikely to conduct an in-depth investigation overseas.

However, although it is said that it is the company that has benefited the most except Lille, Cyber Technology has only separated the brain-computer interface and biological armor technology, which is a world of difference compared to Lille's almost full set of secret technology and industry.

Of course, Lille is now in debt as a result of the adjustment.

"They're fast." Lille touched his chin, "How's the prison going?" ”

"I bought a small one first, and the new one is still under construction." Martin sat down in his chair and crossed his legs, "I'm going to watch him die in prison, and before that, he's going to watch the name Norman Osborne nailed to the pillar of shame." ”

"I don't have a problem with that, you can handle it, but I want to say another thing, do you want to turn your people into a security company?"

The Heart Demon Gang is still a gang after all.

Gangsters have advantages and disadvantages, and the advantage is that they can maintain production order and reduce production costs at low cost.

But Martin himself is not involved in many black industries, at most some sweatshops.

The disadvantage is also very simple, you can't see the light.

Now they are high-tech companies, and the profit can fully support a separate security company.

Martin thought for a moment: "Yes, but a security company came to the door - they were going to sign a contract with Osborne, but I don't know why Osborne suddenly stopped doing it, thinking that maybe they could get a contract from us." ”

"What company?"

"Silver Sable Security Company, I looked at their resumes, they are very professional, they have PMC qualifications, and they were originally mercenaries fighting wars."

"This. It's really professional, and the confidential part is still our own, and I'll arrange a place for them to go to the silver mink security. ”

"Yes." Martin sat back in his chair, and the chair turned, "One more thing, the Osborne Building is up for auction - we should have a landmark of our own." ”

"You want to buy the Osborne Tower?"

"I wanted that land, and then I would tear down that building and make a monument or something, and write his name and what he had done.

It's one of the landmarks, and the other."

Martin suddenly became interested, got up and pulled out the projection cloth next to the glass, and the projector showed a map of New York City.

He traced their current spheres of influence: Hell's Kitchen, several important Chinatowns, and the Osborne Building.

With the exception of the Osborne Building, all other places can be considered slums, especially in the context of the economic crisis, which is getting poorer and poorer.

"We can rebuild these areas and connect them, my people trust me, your people trust you, you have money, you have people, and the transformation will be very fast.

Then we built our own office buildings, hospitals, schools, factories, shopping malls in this connected area.

Build a second Manhattan, our own Manhattan. ”

"Sounds good, but it's a big project."

"We need such a big project right now." Martin looked at the area he had sketched out, and his heart was filled with ambition.

If you get revenge, it's time to find something for yourself to do - such as what the good side has always wanted to do.

Lille waved his hand: "Then come on, I'm going to the lab, let's go first." ”

"Hmm."

Martin watched Lille leave the building and looked up at the dilapidated Osborne Building.

His office building is not tall and the location is modest, but the view of the Osborne Building from here reminds him of his painful past.

And today, the scenario of his fantasy has finally come true.

Nor did he become paranoid and lonely because of the long revenge, empty at the moment of success, or blank at the moment of failure.

On the contrary, he succeeded, crossed the hurdle of revenge, and also found his former self, and there were many things he wanted to do.

He doesn't call successful revenge a "good thing" because it represents a sad past that can't be changed.

But when I think that I no longer need to do those bad things and endure humiliation and plan revenge, I can welcome a different future

That's a good thing.

Martin took out the yellowed family photo from his clothes, pressed it to his chest, and closed his eyes.

It's time to take a nap.
