Marvel's Umbrella

Chapter 163 Taking Control of Osborne Enterprises

The next morning, Osborne held a press conference.

"Mr. Osborne is like a guiding light. He illuminates the way forward for Osborne Enterprises. He also uses his knowledge to create many drugs and save countless lives."

I saw a man in a black suit standing on the podium with a sad look on his face.

"We are deeply saddened by the death of Mr Osborne."

After some praise, everyone bowed their heads and remained silent.

A minute later, the mourning ended.

So 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 partnership with Osborn Enterprises.

Now please, Miss Luna."

"Clap clap clap..."

Amidst applause, Luna walked up to the podium with a smile on her face, wearing a black tight dress and black high heels.

"On behalf of the Umbrella Group, I would like to express my deepest apologies for the passing of Mr. Osborn.

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

After our chairman learned about these things, he felt very guilty, so he asked Umbrella to strengthen its cooperation with Osborn Enterprises. "

The reporters below, who had already received red envelopes, immediately began to applaud.

"Mr. Li is such a good man."

"Yeah, I'm so touched."

"Boss Li is the most kind person in the world."

Hearing everyone's flattery, Luna looked calm and even smiled, with no sign of guilt at all.

After a while, the press conference ended successfully. Luna brought her subordinates 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 has not yet gotten over his father's death. He is in a daze and his reactions are slow.

"Master Harry, Master Harry..."

After shouting 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 then."

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

After a while, the meeting began.

The first, of course, is to choose a new CEO.

Since Harry knew nothing and had no voting rights, the position of CEO naturally fell into Luna's hands.

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

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

She was only nineteen years old, a member of the Umbrella Orphanage, possessed an extraordinary business acumen, and had just graduated from Umbrella University after skipping several grades.

I followed Luna for a year last year. Although I don’t have much experience, I am loyal enough.

Harry, who was sitting in the chairman's seat, did not say anything about Katie taking on the position of CEO.

For the rest of the meeting, he kept his head down and said nothing.

The main reason was that Norman died too hastily and had no plans for retreat.

In a few years, Norman would have let the butler and confidants assist Harry, so even if something unexpected happened, it wouldn't be a big problem. But now, the eleven-year-old Harry can only be a puppet.

Even some shareholders, under Luna's instruction, asked Harry to focus on his studies, go to school more often, and come to Osborn Enterprises less often.

Harry also had no reaction to this.

So after the meeting, everyone knew that things had changed at Osborne Enterprises.

……

Time slowly came to 2011.

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

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

So the new generation of Sentinels, at the request of Senator Robert, no longer targets mutants, but humans.

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

It can be said that the second-generation Sentinel did not have any major breakthroughs compared to the first generation. It only increased defense, firepower, flight speed, etc.

As for the price, it is 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.

Li Feng originally thought that the US government would only order a maximum of 100 second-generation Sentinels at a price of 499 million per unit.

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

This made Li Feng feel that a storm was about to come.

The Middle East alliance has been a bit too picky recently with the last two, so I guess the U.S. will have to go back to its old ways.

Coupled with the continuous increase in rice debt, a risk transfer is bound to take place.

However, as a businessman, he naturally didn't care about these things. He just let the Umbrella Arsenal in Raccoon City run at full capacity and deliver the guns at the price of one unit per day.

Of course, in reality, if Red Queen were to take over the Umbrella Arsenal and carry out fully automated production, he could deliver ten second-generation Sentinels a day.

But it's not necessary.

After all, you can produce ten units a day, what are you planning 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 its most severe warning on the grounds of human rights issues in the Middle East and the use of biological and chemical weapons against ethnic minorities.

What it means is that if you don't stop using biological weapons, I will attack you.

In response, the United States also brought in European countries to condemn it.

Then countries such as the Black Chicken Kingdom, the Sunset Empire, and the Hans Kingdom began to follow closely and made frequent diplomatic condemnations.

The Middle East Alliance, of course, expressed that the accusations made by the United States were extremely unfair, saying that no chemical weapons were used at all, and that the United States could send anyone to inspect at will.

However, the United States stated that investigations cost money. Unless the price of your oil satisfies me and you stop contacting the Northern Bear Country and a certain Eastern power, we will have the funds to send people to investigate.

In response to the extremely shameless words from 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 one hundred second-generation Sentinels.

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

It flew into the Middle East Alliance area that day, destroyed dozens of fighter jets, destroyed several defense radar stations, and killed thousands of soldiers.

As for its own losses, there was zero, with only a few units slightly damaged, but after some repairs, they can still be put into use.
