In the bustling and ever-changing New York City, poorly managed companies are on the verge of bankruptcy every day.

If you are lucky enough to meet a receiver, you can recover some of the cost.

But most of them can only wait for the notification, pack up and leave.

Umbrella Biopharmaceutical Company, located in Industry City, Brooklyn, is one of the bankruptcies.

However, as the founder of this company, Dr. James Marcus is quite blessed, and he met a taker who was not short of money.

Because he was unwilling to transfer the entire company and the corresponding production lines at a low price, James had to pay tens of thousands of dollars out of his own pocket every month for employee basic wages and other additional expenses such as equipment maintenance, water and electricity.

Although the company's main beauty products still have a certain sales volume, compared with the backlog of inventory, this sales volume is only enough to repay James' monthly bank loan interest.

Simply a drop in the bucket.

Fortunately, God bless someone who is willing to acquire his company.

James prayed in his heart that this kind-hearted receiver would live a long life, while pacing back and forth uneasily in the office.

I'm afraid that people will change their minds halfway and the acquisition plan will come to nothing.

"Jingle Bell…"

The phone on the desk rang.

James, who was waiting anxiously, jumped to the landline like a rabbit, and picked up the phone eagerly.

"Boss, people are coming! People are coming!"

The assistant's voice on the other end of the phone made James couldn't help but look happy, but as his immediate boss, he consciously had to keep his composure.

So he put on a calm tone.

"Robert, calm down. You show them around first, I'll be right back!"

After hanging up the phone, James adjusted his appearance and made sure his hair was kept meticulously before he walked out.

Along the way, both the clerks in the office area and the workers on the production line looked at him expectantly.

I sincerely hope that this acquisition plan will be successful.

After all, James Marcus is a nice person and is good at researching new products, but he just doesn't have any business talent.

Otherwise, the company would not have become popular for a while when it was first established.

Later, when the stall spread, James became powerless and unable to control such a large-scale industry.This resulted in a wrong decision on product positioning, and all the money earned in the early stage was invested in the product.

Only then did he have to embark on the road of being taken over by others.

But Umbrella was James's half-life's hard work after all. If there was no other way, who would be willing to adopt his own child to someone else as his son.

So he would rather pay for it himself and keep Umbrella for a few more months than just give the company to others casually.

Fortunately, these months of waiting are finally over.

The other party's offer not only exceeded his psychological expectations, but he was also willing to take over all the employees in the company who were willing to stay.

Those subordinates who had started from scratch with him had a way out, which made James feel more stressed at once.

There was a smile on his whole face, and he even walked much more briskly.

Under the guidance of his subordinates, he walked all the way to the factory building where the company's production line was located.

From a distance, I saw two young people, a man and a woman, surrounded by stars.

James knows that the real owner is here!

He hurried forward to greet him and said hello first from a distance.

"Mr. Erwin!"

#####

The plan to acquire the company is not a sudden idea of ​​Xia Hua.

After all, having a decent company under his control will be of great help whether it is money laundering or the placement of people with sensitive identities in the future.

As for why he fell in love with Umbrella.

First, they have complete production lines and professional staff.

Xia Hua plans to develop a low-cost trauma medicine that weakens the effect based on the white wax repair solution formula obtained from the Assassin Brotherhood.

You don’t need to do any math to know that there is a market for this kind of thing.

After all, at the end of the year, no one can tell whether we will bump into each other.

Keeping a healing item is always a good idea.

Second, Umbrella is located on the edge of the Industrial City. At the same level of acquisition price, Umbrella occupies the largest area.

Third, James Marcus does have real talent and learning.

Finally, there is another reason that is not a reason.

Xia Hua likes the name Umbrella.

I feel very connected.

in the office.

James Marcus and Xia Hua sat opposite each other.

There was a purchase agreement between the two.

"...The specific situation is this. If Mr. Erwin has any comments or suggestions, we can change the agreement."

Seeing that the other party didn't speak, James almost couldn't help but speak, wanting to take a step back and have someone sign it quickly.

Fortunately, what Xia Hua was thinking was not what he thought.

"Mr. Marcus, has a PhD?"

Xia Hua asked, the hand holding the pen hovering over the place where the agreement was signed.

James stared at the pen in his hand and answered absentmindedly.

"Yes, I have a PhD in cell biology and a PhD in virology."

Xia Hua looked at him with surprise.

"Oh? Then, is Mr. Marcus willing to continue working here?"

This sentence made James Marcus very anxious.

"Mr. Erwin! I only took action against Umbrella because of my personal reasons, which caused the company losses! I take this matter very seriously, but please don't make such a joke at the critical moment of signing the agreement!"

After saying this quickly and awkwardly, James regretted his harsh tone.

Thinking about the heavy pressure on his shoulders, his voice gradually softened.

"If you are dissatisfied with the purchase price... we can talk!"

As soon as this sentence was spoken, it was already clearly hinted that the price could be reduced.

And looking at James Marcus who was holding back his negative emotions.

Xia Hua smiled sarcastically.

Sign the agreement decisively.

Notarized by a third party.

The agreement is made in triplicate and takes effect immediately.

As the notary left, Xia Hua and James were left in the office.

"Mr. Erwin, Umbrella is yours from now on! I hope you can treat the employees here well."

James held the agreement and contract, smiling like a [-]-pound fat man.

At this time, Xia Hua reached out to him.

"Mr. Marcus, I would like to invite you to join Umbrella as the director of new product development."

James was really caught off guard by this incident.

With this operation, you want to poach even the people and the company!

"You don't have to worry about salary and benefits, they are all in accordance with the highest standards in the industry, and I will gradually invest 5000 million US dollars to build a BSL-4 biological laboratory for your team, and I will continue to add more funds depending on the situation."

To be honest, this condition is very good.

After Umbrella took action, James estimated that he would still have a lot of money left after paying off the bank loan.

But it is expected that he will be unemployed for a long time.

After all, as far as his profession is concerned, there is a toilet and a pit.

There are already people in top laboratories who need talents in this field, and there is a high probability that he would not have the chance to lead experiments alone even in the past.

James was reluctant to go to ordinary laboratories.

It's not that he is boasting, James is still very confident in professional matters.

But these are not important.

The important thing is the level four laboratory Xia Hua said.

You must know that every P4 biological laboratory in the world is researching diseases that can cause widespread death in the human world.

These diseases usually have no effective prevention and treatment methods, such as Bacillus anthracis, Vibrio cholerae, Ebola virus, smallpox virus, etc.

Now that the other party has established a laboratory of this level, is it because they want to study these viruses?

"Could it be that you want to conquer the Ebola virus?"

James asked tentatively.

Xia Hua smiled and said nothing, but took out a thin document from his arms.

"Mr. Marcus, take a look at this first before making a decision."

James Marcus took the document and opened it gently.

I saw this at the beginning.

"On the activation of corpses and analysis of the possibility of artificial stimulation of brain nerves to trigger biological instinctive reactions."
