Marvel's Umbrella - Chapter 163

c163 Control of Osborn Enterprises

The next morning, Osborn held a press conference.

“Mr. Osborn is like a guiding light. He illuminates the way forward for Osborn Enterprises. At the same time, he uses his knowledge to create many drugs and save countless people.”

A man in a black suit stood on the podium with a sad look on his face.

“We express our deepest condolences for Mr. Osborn’s death.”

After the commendation, everyone bowed their heads in silence.

A minute later, the mourning ended.

Then the man immediately said: “In addition to Mr. Osborn’s condolences, there is another announcement today. That is, the Umbrella Group announced that it has officially signed a strategic cooperation relationship with Osborn Enterprises.

Now please, Miss Luna.”

“Papapapa…”

Amid a round of applause, Luna walked onto the podium in a black tight dress and black high heels with a smile on her face.

“On behalf of the Umbrella Group, I would like to express my deepest apologies for Mr. Osborn’s death.

I didn’t expect that the other party would encounter robbers on the way to our chairman.

After our chairman knew these things, he was also very guilty, so he asked Umbrella to strengthen cooperation with Osborn Enterprises.”

The reporters who had received the red envelopes immediately began to applaud.

“Mr. Li is such a good man.”

“Yes, I am so moved.”

“Boss Li is the world’s greatest good man.”

Hearing the flattery of the crowd, Luna looked normal, even smiling, and didn’t look guilty at all.

After a while, the press conference ended successfully. Luna brought her men to the conference room and held a shareholders’ meeting.

At this time, sitting in the main seat was little Harry with a sad face.

He had not come out of his father’s death. He was in a daze and his reaction was slow.

“Master Harry, Master Harry…”

After calling a few times, Harry finally reacted.

“Ah? Sir, what can I do for you?”

“Ms. Luna from the Umbrella Group has arrived. The shareholders’ meeting can begin.”

“Oh, let’s get started.”

The people around looked at Harry, who was only eleven years old, with contempt in their eyes.

After a while, the meeting began.

First of all, of course, a new CEO was chosen.

Because Harry knew nothing and had no voting relationship, the position of CEO naturally fell into Luna’s hands.

Luna asked a woman named Katie to take over the position.

Katie is a white beauty with long brown hair. She is slightly shorter than Luna, about 1.65 meters tall, but has a very proud figure, looking like two big watermelons.

She is only nineteen years old and is a member of the Umbrella Orphanage. She has an extraordinary business mind and has just graduated from Umbrella University after skipping several grades.

She followed Luna for a year last year. Although she is not very experienced, she is loyal enough.

And Harry, who is sitting in the chairman’s position, did not express any opinion about Katie taking on the position of CEO.

In the following meeting, he kept his head down and said nothing.

The main reason was that Norman died too hastily, and he had not prepared a way out.

If it had been a few years, Norman would have asked his butler and confidants to assist Harry, so even if an accident happened, it would not be a big problem.

But now, eleven-year-old Harry can only be a puppet.

Even several shareholders, under Luna’s instructions, said that Harry should focus on his studies, go to school more, and come to Osborn Enterprises less in the future.

Harry also had no reaction to this.

So after a meeting, everyone knew that Osborn Enterprises had changed.

…

Time slowly came to 2011.

On this day in March, Umbrella Military Industries finally released a new generation of sentinel robots.

Because of the demise of the Brotherhood and the X-Men, and the heavy losses of the Hellfire Club, many mutants around the world have disappeared.

So the new generation of sentinels, at the request of Councillor Robert, no longer target mutants, but humans.

Therefore, the second-generation Sentinel still does not have the ability to absorb and share superpowers, but is equipped with more efficient flight systems, firepower systems, laser weapons, etc.

It can be said that the second-generation Sentinel has not made any major breakthroughs compared to the first generation, but has increased defense and firepower, as well as flight speed, etc.

And the price is also a little more expensive than the first generation, only 499 million US dollars per unit.

This price was naturally specially marked at the request of Councillor Robert.

After all, 500 million per unit is a bit beyond the other party’s authority.

Originally, Li Feng thought that the US government would only order a maximum of 100 units of the second-generation Sentinel at 499 million per unit.

But unexpectedly, the military suddenly placed an order for 300 units.

This made Li Feng feel that a storm was coming.

The Middle East Alliance has been a bit too picky recently, and it is estimated that the United States will go back to its old business.

In addition, the US debt continues to increase, and it is destined to transfer risks.

However, as a businessman, he naturally doesn’t care about these, but just lets the Umbrella Arsenal in Raccoon City run at full capacity and deliver at a price of one unit per day.

Of course, if the Umbrella Arsenal was allowed to be taken over by Red Queen and fully automated, he could easily deliver ten second-generation Sentinels a day.

But there is no need.

After all, you can produce ten units a day, what are you going to do.

The war between the United States and the Middle East came earlier than Li Feng expected.

In August, about 150 second-generation sentinel robots were delivered, and the United States issued the most severe warning on the grounds of the Middle East Alliance’s human rights issues and the use of biological and chemical weapons against ethnic minorities.

The meaning is almost that if you don’t stop using biological and chemical weapons, I will hit you.

In response, the United States also pulled the countries of the European continent to condemn it.

So the Black Chicken Kingdom, the Sunset Empire, the Hans Kingdom and other countries began to follow closely and frequently condemned diplomatically.

The Middle East Alliance, of course, said that these accusations from the United States were very unfair, and they did not use any chemical weapons at all, and they also said that you can send people to check at will.

However, the United States said that the investigation costs money, unless the price of your oil satisfies me, and then you stop contacting the North Bear Kingdom and a certain Eastern power, we will have the funds to send people to investigate.

For the extremely shameless words of the United States, the Middle East Alliance naturally stated that it is a sovereign alliance and has the freedom to make friends with any country.

So at the end of August, the United States launched a war on the grounds that the Middle East Alliance used chemical weapons, violated various conventions, and had various doctrines.

The first to be deployed were 100 second-generation Sentinels.

The combat effectiveness of the second-generation Sentinels did not disappoint.

On the same day, they flew into the Middle East Alliance area, destroyed dozens of fighter jets, destroyed several control radar stations, and killed thousands of soldiers.

As for their own losses, they were zero, only a few were slightly damaged, but after some repairs, they can continue to be put into use.
