Chapter 31 An honest man like Worthington is used to deceive

Under the watchful eyes of a large number of mutant protesters, police, and National Guard soldiers, Qiang Qiang boarded the ferry to Alcatraz with the accompanying personnel from the American branch of the Wude Group.

Due to the martial law, the air access here has been blocked, and only a small ferry owned by Worthington Company has been retained on the sea access.

After hanging up Nick Fury's phone, other calls finally came in: from the political and business circles, and quite a few of them were "uninformed", or at least pretended to be "uninformed", and were simply talking to Qian Qian.

expressed concern for his safety.

He spoke a few words in a perfunctory manner, and his attitude was probably maintained within the baseline of due social etiquette. He only said a few words more sincerely when he received calls from the White House Chief of Staff and the Secretary of Defense.

A news message suddenly popped up on the bracelet, attracting Xiang Qian's attention.

The Forward Bracelet is a smart technology device designed by him. The information processing system in it has specially set up strict search and reminder preconditions for various messages on the Internet that are confusing and difficult to distinguish between true and false. They are not really urgent messages.

, the bracelet will not send out reminders.

""The FDA is about to apply for emergency marketing channel for mutant drugs"" Looking forward, looking at the title that condensed the main information of the entire news report, there was a sneer on the corner of his mouth.

"To add fuel to the fire, this is the official competent authority coming forward to endorse the effectiveness of the medicine. Is anyone worried that the Worthington Company will not die quickly enough?" Xiang Xiang thought maliciously.

"No, their goal is not just Worthington Company. The people pushing this matter are afraid of the exclusive benefits of the U.S. government and military."

Worthington II took the initiative to seek cooperation from the U.S. government, allowing the government and the military to take the lead in grabbing the benefits of pharmaceuticals; if those forces that were lagging behind did not want to be left empty-handed, they would have to muddy the water to have a chance to fish.

Xiang Xiang assessed the chaotic situation in front of him from the most utilitarian perspective, "The fruits are not yet ripe, and they are already fighting for position. As expected, the capitalist world has never been monolithic."

Looking ahead at Alcatraz, which was already very close at hand, there were people standing in twos and threes on the pier to greet them. One of them, an old white man with gray hair, was none other than Worthington II, the protagonist who started this turmoil.

I did not see any military personnel present. I think Lieutenant General Ross wanted to express his attitude by this: Lieutenant General of the American Air Force, you can make the Department of Defense pressure him to accept orders through political deals, but it is impossible to make the other party willingly run away.

A businessman nodded and bowed in front of him.

"Welcome, James." The old white man's warm embrace showed nothing about the fierce argument the two had had on the phone just a dozen hours ago; "I have good news to tell you."

Smiling forward: "Is your medicine ready for the market?"

"You know? You are really well informed. It will take half an hour for the official announcement to be sent out." Worthington II couldn't hide his excitement, "This is our medicine and it will be on the market immediately."

"Word spreads quickly on the Internet."

He casually shook hands with several other greeters, and then walked side by side with Worthington II to the main building on the island. The escorts from the two companies followed behind him, greeting each other in twos and threes, leaving space for

Two big guys.

As I walked forward, I looked around casually. Compared with the past, the environment of the island has undergone tremendous changes. The most obvious thing is that the road from the dock to the main building is covered with military fortifications. The original helicopter pad

There were a large number of tarpaulin packages that clearly belonged to the army's combat supplies stacked on top.

"General Ross's headquarters is in the building?" Qiang asked casually.

Worthington II seemed a little unaccustomed to being in close contact with the military, and his voice was a little unnatural: "Yes, the Air Force, Marine Corps, and the White House attach great importance to the safety of laboratories. There are also some security agencies-I can't tell the difference.

Find out which department they belong to - they concluded that Alcatraz Island might be attacked by force. You saw it when you came here just now. There are also California National Guards on the other side of the bay. What a fuss!"

"That's hard to say, Mr. Warren." He stopped not far from the main building. "More and more radical mutants are gathering in the city and on the seaside. According to reports, it may reach tens of thousands."

.You have lived in California for a long time, right? You must still remember what happened in Los Angeles in 1992?"

Worthington II disagreed, but he also knew that Xiang Xiang's biggest concern about the prospects of cooperation between the two companies came from security issues - at least Xiang Xiang's words and deeds left this impression on him.

"Don't worry, James; we're on the island, and even if those protesters act out of control, they won't be able to get over."

"You know nothing about the true strength of mutants." Xiang Qian muttered in a low voice, as if he was complaining about Worthington II, or mumbling to himself. As he spoke, he stepped forward without waiting for the other party to answer.

Walking in; Worthington II was a little confused and had to follow quickly.

The buildings on Alcatraz Island were first constructed according to the standards of a military fortress, and were later transformed into prisons. Neither of these buildings were spacious and comfortable. The corridors in the building were narrow and deep, and many soldiers came and went in the corridors.

Build temporary fortifications, causing more crowding and chaos.

"You're really a bit neurotic, aren't you?" Worthington II sneered and reopened the topic, "I don't think the situation at hand will worsen. Although many mutants have radical attitudes, there are also many people who welcome our potion.

manner."

Noncommittal forward: "Really?"

"Of course." Worthington II's mood became high again, "After the press conference, we began to officially accept appointment applications for mutant potion use. Did you know that in less than 24 hours in the past, we have received appointments?

How many?"

Worthington II excitedly shouted: "More than 120,000 people, can you imagine, 120,000 people."

When it comes to population figures, Xiang Xiang really doesn’t want to irritate these Americans who have never seen the world.

It has only been 48 hours since the news of the mutant potion was officially made public. On the message board of the Wude Group's official website, visitors spontaneously initiated a "Petition to launch the mutant potion as soon as possible" and the number of votes has reached nearly one million.

"The prospects are exciting!" Qiang Qiang praised without emotion.

Worthington II did not care about his perfunctory attitude and continued to be immersed in his beautiful ideas.

"My friends in the White House told me that the president intends to issue a temporary medical relief bill to provide all mutants with special medical loans to have access to mutant potions. James, do you know what this means?

?”

"Of course, of course I understand; this means that the original high cost of mutant potions is no longer an obstacle to market promotion." There was finally a hint of emotion in Xiang Xiang's tone, but this emotion was not that of Worthington II.

The world is excited about the bright market prospects, but silently mourns Worthington Company.

The actions of the White House actually accelerated the destruction of Worthington Company; I don’t know whether the president did it intentionally or unintentionally, and which party’s interests he represented. Anyway, I never believe that American politicians would seriously consider being a mutant.

People seek welfare.

First, the FDA allowed the drug to be put on the market early, and then the White House announced that it would help promote the drug on a large scale. This was clearly a reminder one after another, urging radical mutants including the Brotherhood of Mutants to take action.

Worthington II does not have the consciousness of a victim. He is most concerned about another thing at the moment: "James, cost is no longer the biggest problem in marketing. Now there is only one problem left..."

"I know, I know." Qiang Xiang interrupted the other party with a smile, "For large-scale production technology, you need my extraction catalysis technology to help you achieve mass production."

Worthington II looked nervous: "Yes, we need your help. The speed of preparing medicine in the laboratory is too slow to meet the market demand. Just imagine, when the medicine is mass-produced, our output will become

If it grows tenfold or tenfold, Worthington’s stock price will also rise continuously, and the entire stock market will go crazy because of us!”

"I thought you developed this potion for poor little Worthington." Xiang Qian suddenly stabbed with a serious face.

Worthington II almost choked to death: Of course I am trying to help my son, but can you understand what you, a bunch of profit-seeking shareholders, can say? The only thing you can understand is one word - money, money, money.

!You keep saying that investment is safe, but aren’t you also afraid that your money will be wasted?

Looking forward at the confused old white man, he suddenly grinned: "Okay, Mr. Worthington, this is just a little joke on my part, don't take it seriously. As long as I confirm that my investment is safe,

Our cooperation agreement will be concluded soon."

"But before that, I still need to meet with a few people and make some assessments." Qianqian's face turned into a formulaic smile, "You have done your best in business matters, and I have no objections, but for safety issues,

Not your specialty”

Worthington II laughed a few times, then managed to catch the step forward, and followed the topic: "Of course, General Ross is waiting for you in the command post."

"That lieutenant general is very arrogant." He looked forward to the conference room with military signs not far away, which was obviously the headquarters. He suddenly stopped and his tone became obviously unkind.

As if to avoid getting into trouble with Lieutenant General Ross, Qiang Xiang deliberately mentioned another matter not far from the headquarters gate: "By the way, where is our wealth code, Jimmy - can I go see that child first?"

?”

Worthington II only hesitated for less than two seconds: "Of course, you should see him. That is also an unfortunate child, born with a curse..."

Facing the upcoming cooperation negotiations at this time, it is the critical moment for Worthington II to maintain a good relationship with Xiangqian, not to mention that Xiangqian's request is not excessive.

"I just want to make a temporary escape and lose face to Lieutenant General Ross."

Witnessing the scene where the two were arguing over the phone, Worthington II thought he had seen through Qiang Xiang's intentions.
