Conan: I Am Not a Snake Spirit

Today's meeting was held actually because Luther Nutt succeeded in taking office and has secured his position as governor of Massachusetts. Shinnosuke Ike wanted to formally announce this good news to Umbrella's top management.

In addition, the senior management present are all our own people who are completely tied up by their own interests. Shinnosuke Ike can use words that are not too subtle to talk about who has reached the PY deal with Umbrella this time, and what benefits or promises need to be given up. What conditions did you ask the other party for?

On the way, Yuesui Nanatsuki sent the whiskey with ice that Chi Fei Chi requested to the attic. Without disturbing him, he gently placed the cup on the table. When Chi Fei Chi raised his eyes to look at him, he ordered it with a smile at Chi Fei Chi. He nodded, then turned and left the attic.

Chi Feichi retracted his gaze and stared at the computer, letting his brain quickly get away from Koshimi Nanatsuki's smiling face just now and get back into the meeting.

"The conditions put forward by those scholar representatives are not many. They just hope that no one will interfere with their exploration of the scientific world. They hope that their original research rights and financial support will remain intact. As long as this can be achieved, they will not "I don't care who the governor is or who the congressmen are," Ike Shinnosuke looked directly at the camera. His calm gaze seemed to penetrate the screen, conveying a hint of power that made people calm down and listen seriously. "The people in power in the past I think we don’t need to hesitate on this matter. In addition to agreeing to their conditions, Mr. Luther and I also reached some agreements with them on capital investment, cooperative research, and talent transfer. Among them, funding invest……"

In the agreement reached by the two parties, the additional funds invested by Umbrella and Luther Nutt were not large.

As an excellent capitalist, Shinnosuke Ike will never overfeed the scholars, lest the bait hanging in front lose its allure.

At the same time, Ike Shinosuke is also very aware of the corrosive power of money on people's hearts and is unwilling to let the good scientific research atmosphere in Massachusetts be corrupted.

Therefore, under Ark's auxiliary calculation analysis, Shinnosuke Ike selected an annual investment fund that would not only make scholars feel that they and their scientific research are valued, but would not be much higher than in the past two years.

That small amount of investment will not surprise scholars, but in terms of financial investment, as long as the attitude of attention is conveyed in place, it is enough.

The real means Umbrella uses to attract scientific talents is the cooperative research plan between the two parties.

A friend with whom you can have fun communicating, or a novel idea or new thing that can excite you, is very attractive to many talented people who are capable and obsessed with research.

The Umbrella Research Department has many scientific research geniuses. It has developed to this day and has mastered many cutting-edge technologies that surpass current technology. The conditions for attracting talents are no worse than those of the plutocrats, or even better. And the people attracted by this kind of bait are Most of the people are high-quality talents who have real materials and are not afraid of hard work for research. The overall quality is very high.

For those people who are introduced to Umbrella, Umbrella will invest a lot of money to ensure that these people do not worry about financial problems and devote themselves to research work, and to try to prevent talents from being abducted by others with money.

This part is the ‘talent introduction’ agreement that Shinnosuke Ike mentioned last.

No one who attended the meeting today is stupid. They know that the most precious resource in Massachusetts is those talents, and they all support Shinnosuke Ike's idea.

Although Ike Shinosuke has already settled the matter with the scholar representatives, today's meeting is not to solicit other people's opinions, but to inform others of the situation. Even if some people disagree, nothing will be changed, but everyone has expressed their opinions. Confirming that everyone has the same point of view will also help to shorten the distance between hearts, keep the atmosphere of the meeting harmonious and relaxed, and make everyone more aware of each other as 'ours'. There is no harm in going through this process.

In the relaxed atmosphere of the meeting, Shinnosuke Ike talked about his negotiations with other representatives.

Influential local celebrities, veteran politicians who have been in politics for many years, chaebols who have been operating locally for many years...

Those celebrities are pretty good. Most of them try not to participate in taking sides. A few people have their own supporters and can roughly maintain a balance. There is rarely an imbalance. The major competitive forces also default to not disturbing too much. These people just arrange for people to have friendly exchanges and try to gain some support.

The real trouble is with plutocrats and politicians.

The plutocrats are greedy. Those people are Umbrella's competitors. Some people are happy for Umbrella to enter the field and add obstacles to powerful opponents, but those people's appetite is too big. Even if Umbrella has the upper hand in the middle and late stages, those people People also dare to rely on the fact that they have been operating in Massachusetts longer than Umbrella and say, "80% of the profits belong to me, and I eat the meat and drink the soup and you lick the plate."

Politicians are tactful. Some old politicians have long lost the motivation to go further. They only think about how to gain benefits for themselves and their families. During every election, they wander among the major competing forces. They do not want to clearly stand for a team, but they also want to get benefits from various forces. If you look for benefits there, if you expect these people to help you gain advantages, you will probably be eaten up and thrown aside by these people. However, these people have been in business for many years and have some influence in politics or the outside world. They cannot ignore it and do things by themselves. He can advance and retreat, and he can always get stuck on the edge of the intolerable edge of each force to take advantage, making each force feel bored but not to the point of breaking out. He can always retreat with the benefits, slipperier than a loach.

Speaking of the big appetites of those chaebols, Ike Shinnosuke, who had previously only talked about the content of the agreement and not commented on the behavior of others, mocked with a stern face, "This company wants 80% of the profit, and the other company only wants 70% because of its good intentions. If you add it all up, We have to stick it in backwards..."

Chi Feichi was also speechless.

They are indeed the evil-hearted businessmen who "cost 1 yuan but dare to ask for 1,000 yuan."

Those people really don't care whether their price is reasonable or whether the other party will be skinned and torn apart. They only think about how to obtain greater profits. They don't want to make nine hundred and ninety-nine if they can make one thousand.

However, it is really rare that his cheap dad actually complained about something while talking about business... Was it intentional?

Luther Nut said with emotion, "Mr. Shinnosuke told me at that time that even if we lose this game, we cannot compromise with them!"

"Which party wins will get the priority in the distribution of benefits. This is their default rule in the past." Ike Shinnosuke's face softened a lot. "If we open this hole and put ourselves in a lower position, we will be able to climb up in the future." It’s more difficult to get up and talk to them as equals than to start over.”

"That's right," Yan Jiansan agreed in a gentle tone, "if we don't agree to them now, the worst result will be failure once, and we can still gain experience, but if we agree to them this time, we will want to get some back in the future. They will all feel that we have robbed them of something, which will attract them to target with greater intensity. People cannot accept 'losing' more than 'not getting'."

Others followed closely and echoed.

"Yes, we absolutely cannot give in in this situation..."

"Our Umbrella resources are no worse than theirs in all aspects, but our operating time is shorter..."

"Even if we lose, we can't lose the right to trade with them on an equal footing..."

Chi Feichi listened silently, and concluded in his heart that Chi Zhennosuke had deliberately shown a sarcastic attitude just now.

Well, as Umbrella's top decision-maker on the surface, Lao Chi occasionally needs to increase his presence and hint to the people below that he is not idle, that he is also working very hard, that he is wise, powerful and courageous...

Lao Chi may not be used to bragging, but he won't show mercy when he can gain a sense of presence.

Moreover, Lao Chi spent a lot of effort this time and did what most people couldn't do, allowing Umbrella to achieve a great victory. If he didn't even take the opportunity to talk about what he had done, how could he let the people below think that Does your boss sit around and bask in the sun all day?

It's just that with his cheap father's character, it's impossible to arrange for a supporter to act with him. Therefore, Luther Nut probably took the initiative to cooperate and answered the conversation spontaneously. This person's ability to observe the situation is not bad... …

When others echoed, Ikegana did not speak. He kept a gentle and generous smile on his face and listened to the discussion of a group of people.

After others calmed down, Ike Shinosuke continued, "They are very ambitious, but they underestimate our strength..."

In the later stages of the election, Luther Nutt's voice among the public was so high that it would be difficult for other plutocrats to convince the public and easily arouse public dissatisfaction if they manipulated the results.

But Luther Nutt faced the most troublesome moment.

Those chaebols insisted on seeking the best interests. After being rejected by Shinnosuke Ike, they all gave up on their original competitors, unified their attitude, and began to crazily suppress Luther Nat.

Luther Nut had a high voice among the people, so those people arranged for people to spread rumors and cause trouble, and tried every means to discredit Luther Nut; Umbrella had online channels to help Luther Nut build momentum, and those people used their own local influence to The power of many years of operation mobilized newspapers and TV stations to become active; Luther Nut participated in activities such as speech canvassing and helping people, and those people sent people to follow him to cause trouble, striving to make everything Luther Nut did not go smoothly...

When those people think about it, Umbrella will soon fall into a dilemma. If they don't agree to give up big benefits, Luther Nat will be completely suppressed. When their people come to power, they will definitely not give An. If Umbrella gets any benefits from sharing, all of Umbrella’s early investment will be in vain. If Umbrella gives up all the benefits in order to break the situation, then Umbrella will only get a name in vain if he wins, and nothing will be gained in the end. .

Those chaebol bosses are all old foxes, and they don't really want to push Umbrella into a hurry. While letting their subordinates suppress Luther Nutt, they softened their attitude towards Ike Shinnosuke and praised his juniors helplessly. It's really amazing." He kept saying, "I admire you, but our position does not allow me to be soft-hearted." He even gritted his teeth and said that he could give in and leave a little soup for Umbrella. It seemed kind and considerate, but in fact I just want Shinnosuke Ike to compromise early and spend less resources and energy to obtain maximum benefits.
