Containment Control Starts With the Umbrella

"啾~啾~"

Somewhere in the forest, a pair of grey sparrows were chirping happily.

The dazzling sun shines through the gaps in the maple leaves and falls on the relatively moist soil. If you look closely, there are all kinds of mosquitoes flying.

Of course, the sneaky instant noodle gentleman, the raccoon, is indispensable here.

If you put a camera, the picture here will definitely be selected in "National Geographic" or "Animal World", everything looks so beautiful.

"Boom-boom-!"

However, the roar of the engine of a black Hummer broke the tranquility of nature.

Although there is no clear road for vehicles in the woods, it can rely on the brutal off-road performance to drive deep into the woods like walking on flat ground.

…

inside the car;

"Huh...ha..." Someone's breathing sound when he was sleeping.

I saw that the pilot and co-pilot were Alpha and Hank in suits.

Sitting on the back side was William sleeping with his head up and his mouth wide open, leaning on the cushion.

"Gulong! Gulong!" The tire seemed to run over a large stone, causing the body to shake for a while.

Even William was swaying with the car body, but the movement didn't make him wake up.

"Lieutenant."

The Alpha in the Humvee asked Hank, "It's coming, call the boss up?"

Hank said softly: "No, let the boss rest again."

"Yes, Lieutenant."

The two Alphas returned to silence, and only William's steady breathing remained in the car.

Shortly after.

The Humvee drove through the hurdle just now, onto a dirt road obscured by more lush foliage.

"Wow~! Uh~!"

William stretched and rubbed his sore neck, then lowered the window and looked out.

Well, the cool breeze in the shade kept him awake quite a bit.

Now is August 17, 2007, more than a year has passed since William came to this world.

Umbrella also developed wildly within a year, monopolizing the vast majority of Canadian companies.

Even if the outside world does not know how much assets William has, the US "Fortune" magazine still ranks Umbrella 20th in the world's top 500 companies.

"Fortune" relied on Umbrella's public companies to calculate, and concluded that the operating income is about 100 billion, the profit is about 14 billion, and the number of employees is 120,000.

Umbrella's various data pushed Bank of America to become the 20th largest company in the world.

What about the number one in the world?

Yes…

Walmart.

Yep, that's the Walmart.

Wal-Mart's operating income is 351.1 billion, profit is 11.2 billion.

But the world's second largest British oil profit is as high as 22 billion, even Umbrella's 14 billion is not as good, how can Wall reach the world's first?

That's because Walmart employs a dreadful 1.9 million and has been No. 1 in the Fortune 500 for many years.

However, "Fortune" magazine's evaluation of Wal-Mart is not very good, but praised Umbrella.

Even published articles many times, saying that Umbrella will be the human leader in the 21st century, and his attitude is obviously against Wall Street.

For this, William would like to say thank you.

It is precisely because of the smoke-free war between Fortune and Wall Street that his Umbrella sits firmly on the cusp of the storm.

Money is coming.

So William can get attention without all kinds of micro-manipulations, and of course he has to thank Fortune.

The vast majority of the 14 billion profits calculated before were deposited into the accounts managed by the system, which belonged to him completely.

The amount of system funds that can be spent on itself per month is half a million, but compared to 14 billion…

William didn't even bother to move the half a million.

Speaking of systems.

Fortunately, William had already bought the Bank of Nova Scotia.

Otherwise, let the world know that he has 150 billion every year.

That would be fun.

…

During this year, William took advantage of the Athabasca Agreement signed by Umbrella and the United Nations to frantically acquire various arms companies.

The first to fall was Lockheed Martin, followed by Boeing, and then various old arms companies.

This means...

Umbrella has mastered core technologies such as the V-22 Osprey tilt-rotor transport aircraft, the C-130 Hercules, and the F-22.

The old beauty has no complaints.

Umbrella's nature is not a state, it is William's personal property.

Capitalism, on the other hand, highly values ​​personal property. If you have money, you are your father.

working class?

No rights.

Said to be democracy and freedom, in fact. Ha ha.

The current William is the father of the gold owner of most companies in North America.

In this way, the Umbrella Arms Department used various core technologies and various blueprints purchased in Ukraine in the early days to produce a large number of enhanced vehicles and weapons for the Armed Department.

…

As for the Xbox R\u0026D plan, it has been somewhat delayed.

On the contrary, "Anomalous Crisis", which was carried out at the same time, is about to be completed.

For the Bungie production team, William is very confident.

After all, the first Xbox game "Halo" in the original world came from Bungie.

Not to mention how excited William was when he became a major shareholder of Microsoft and found out that the world actually has people from the Bungie production team.

The Xbox can play inextricably with the Play station, and it is because of the masterpiece "Halo".

But the Microsoft executives in the original world were exhausted, forcing Bungie away and letting 343 take over, almost ruining the "Halo" series.

Closer to home.

Then Bungie's "Anomalous Crisis" will definitely hit the game industry's first shot.

but…

As said before, Xbox development is on hold.

The software in the game is easy to say, but the hardware has billions of troubles.

Microsoft's engineers and designers couldn't understand William's mainframe because it was very different from an ordinary computer.

In the end, just make a shell and drive system.

Fortunately, this shell looks good, similar to the Xbox360 final version of the original world...

There's a fart!

William invested more than 100 million back and forth during the time when Microsoft was researching the Xbox.

What about making a shell?

Wonder how many lives of agents or soldiers this money could save?

So William directly took advantage of one of the rights of his major shareholder to open the group of engineers who were really eating rice.

But there is another problem, who will develop it?

In desperation, he had to seek the help of the female genius Halsey.

Originally, William did not have high expectations. After all, no matter how smart Halsey is, it is impossible for him to understand the host that players need... right?

The fact is that it only took her two nights to complete the various circuit diagrams and software systems of the Xbox.

"."

Thinking of this, William, who was looking out the window, was really speechless.

The series of first games such as Xbox console and "Anomalous Crisis" are expected to be released in the early morning of January 1, 2008.

Meanwhile, "Iron Man" will be released on November 11 this year.

As the finale, "Starship Troopers 2" will premiere on December 26 on Boxing Day after Christmas.

By then, Umbrella's three masterpieces will be listed one after another.
