"Morning Chairman.

"Mr. Watsonton."

"Nice to meet you, sir."

Kenny Watson II passed by the company building with several entourages. The employees they met along the way saw their immediate superiors, and all gave way to him and greeted him graciously, while Mr. Chairman just gave him a simple nod .

A long time ago, when he was still at the age of his son Warren, Kenny was also a lively and sincere young man, but after years of hard work in the mall, he was exposed to the dark side that ordinary people cannot touch, and gradually his heart Become extremely hard, accustomed to using their own will to determine the fate of others. I don't know when it started, but Kenny got used to maintaining a serious and rigid face. He firmly believed that this expression could protect him from the malicious prying eyes of his competitors and frighten the employees who might be lazy at any time.

The boss is the embodiment of the company, how he treats the employees, the employees will treat the work in the same way - for a long time, this sentence has been the core management idea that Kenny has been pursuing, so he must always maintain a high and majestic image in front of his subordinates .

In the meeting room on the top floor, Dr. Rao, the head of the Mutant gene research group appointed by Kenny himself, was waiting there. After the assistant brought two cups of coffee, Chairman Watsonton began to ask the world-renowned female geneticist about the recent work progress.

"How is that boy Jimmy's genetic research going?" Watsonton II asked while drinking strong coffee.

"Very well." The black-haired and white-skinned middle-aged Dr. Rao replied calmly.

"It is too early to carry out comprehensive gene sequencing, but it is not difficult to analyze the active ingredients related to the treatment. We are stepping up the separation of serum, hoping to extract antibodies that inhibit mutant cells. I want to put it into clinical application. A day won't be long, as soon as next week we will conduct preliminary experiments."

"It seems that you have grasped the core problem, and I am very satisfied with this." Kenny is definitely not interested in the genetic map, which is really a project with huge amounts of investment, and even Watsonton Pharmaceuticals will find it difficult to undertake it. If there is not enough return, even if he is the chairman, he can't go against the company's interests too much, so he just wants to use this excuse to mobilize company resources to develop inhibitory drugs to treat his son Warren, so that he can return to an ordinary person. Rejected by high society.

After learning about the development progress, Kenny sent the lady back and began to review today's documents.

Inadvertently, he saw the evaluation report of the cutting-edge technology laboratory, and Ross' cold expression could not help appearing in his mind, and he couldn't help but let out a disdainful cold snort from his nasal cavity.

Long before Ross refused, he had already ordered the people below to make preparations. Now, as long as he gives an order, he can soon set off a massive slander campaign across the United States, using a lot of specious negative news to make the public feel bad about the experiment. Chamber drugs create strong suspicion.

According to the research of the company's intelligence and strategy center, once the sales of Phoenix drug are cut off, the operation of the cutting-edge laboratory will suffer a major blow, and the proud boy will eventually have to surrender control and obediently become Watsonton drug. Another engine for the industry to expand the market. This method of dealing with small businesses is already very proficient for big companies, and Watson II firmly believes that this time he will also achieve his own grand vision—compared with the possible benefits in the future, in order to balance the peers’ efforts The price is entirely trivial.

Kenny is convinced that Watsonton Pharmaceuticals will flourish in his own generation, and then pass it on to his son, Warren Watsonton Lord Shifengli.

After quickly browsing through several reports, Kenny was about to continue reviewing when the office door was suddenly pushed open by the secretary, and then this confidant who had followed him for many years hurried in with several newspapers that had just been published.

"Chairman, we are in trouble...

Seeing the secretary's terrified expression, Kenny was a little displeased. He has always cared about maintaining his own demeanor, and definitely has high demands on the people around him, so what does it look like to be so panicked and seen by the people below!

But the secretary had no time to apologize, and directly pressed the newspaper on the table in front of Kenny. The top one was the gossip tabloid his boss usually hates the most.

Kenny glared at his subordinates, and made up his mind that if there was no news of sufficient weight, he would immediately send this dazed guy to the grassroots department.

"An accident happened last night, and now many newspapers are talking about us..."

Without the secretary's explanation, Kenny immediately saw the headline on the front page of the Daily Bugle.

"Vicious peer competition means brutal, Ross‧Byrne was brutally murdered in the middle of the night!"

Looking at the line of bloody bold characters, Watsonton II couldn't help being taken aback.

"What, Ross was killed!"

He screamed out in shock, and no longer cared about scolding the secretary, he hurriedly continued to look down.

On this day, the Bugle Daily’s report was concise and to the point, completely different from the usual ambiguous style of “maybe”, “or”, and “possible”. Chief reporter Peter Parker described his high school classmates with a lot of graphic materials, The whole story of the assassination of scientific supernova and young self-made billionaire Ross‧Byrne.

According to his information, when Ross was picking up his girlfriend home at eight o'clock last night, he was attacked by unidentified people on a traffic artery in Manhattan. Open fire, during which there was a fierce gun battle with the bodyguards protecting the employer. During the shootout, the gangsters caused a large number of casualties and property damage, and then successfully retreated before the police arrived after hearing the news. According to Peter's interview, everyone in the laboratory said that Ross is easy-going and kind-hearted, and rarely has conflicts with others. At the same time, his status as a great philanthropist is enough to prove that he is not a rich man, so there must be something hidden about this assassination.

Then Peter inadvertently mentioned that Ross himself had just rejected a hostile takeover request in various scenarios, implying that some powerful peers were jealous of Ross's achievements and wanted to kill this new force that might break the monopoly in the pharmaceutical industry.

Who is this evil colleague? James, the boss of the Horn newspaper, who is old and treacherous, will definitely not let his own people reveal their identity, but he has carefully concocted some words and deeds that make people involuntarily cast suspicion on Watsonton, the largest company in the pharmaceutical industry. pharmaceutical industry.

Anyway, Watsonton has always looked down on the gossip tabloids, and definitely won't pay them advertising fees. James stood by Ross without any hesitation, and took the lead in speaking out for justice.

Under the short text, several photos taken at the scene of the attack are attached.

The first few photos include a large number of shocking bullet holes and destroyed property, while the latter are scenes of blood-stained innocent passers-by and bodyguards being carried on stretchers by emergency personnel and rushed to the hospital for emergency treatment

The last close-up shows Ross standing in front of the smoking car wreckage, embracing his frightened and crying girlfriend lying in his arms with a firm expression, affectionately stroking|stroking her hair and softly comforting her, the atmosphere looks as miserable as it could be How miserable, the heroine's terrified expression is very real and believable, and the hero's calm demeanor after encountering such a violent attack is also impressive.

Watsonton II stared blankly at the newspaper, but didn't react for a long time.

...who did it?"

It took Kenny a long time to make this inquiry, and then he found the secretary avoiding his eyes evasively.

It has nothing to do with me - he really wanted to yell to vent his anger, but the timing was really a bit unfortunate.

As a close confidant, the secretary knew that his boss was planning a siege against Ross, but he was not sure whether Watsonton was responsible for the assassination.

After all, there are no fathers and sons in the mall, and sometimes in order to gain benefits, people with good relationships can turn their faces ruthless. The middle class may still believe in the clichés of fairness and justice, but Vanity Fair is a completely different matter. Let’s not talk about it, just look at how Obaday dealt with Tony, the Stark father and son and Obaday Stein But with decades of friendship, there is no room for mercy when it is time to make a move.

After watching the scene of Stark's high-level cannibalism, turn around and look at what is going on between Ross and Watsonton. He is not the son of the chairman, and he has stolen so much market share from Watsonton Pharmaceuticals. How can he be sure? Can you be so magnanimous?

Kenny could see clearly what the secretary was thinking, but that was what troubled him.

It is very simple to extract yourself from this kind of thing. After all, it is one of the largest companies in the world. It is basically impossible to fall into this kind of case that is based on rumors. However, the negative impact of a short time will not fade away so quickly. Especially the Watsonton family has always prided itself on being serious and restrained. They look down on playboys like Stark and other upstarts with little experience. They often think that Superman is superior to themselves. This tradition can usually be regarded as The demeanor of a wealthy family is admired by the world, and now once it is questioned by the outside world but cannot be cleared up in time, the ensuing ridicule and sarcasm will definitely intensify.

Without waiting for that day to come, Kenny can already imagine the vicious mockery of his competitors in private.

Resisting the anxiety in his heart, he gathered the company's senior management to discuss the countermeasures urgently, and then called his most trusted and powerful friend.

An hour later, Malik arrived at the headquarters of Watsonton Pharmaceuticals in person.

".~Your Excellency the President is very concerned about this matter, Kenny, this kind of matter has broken through our bottom line." As soon as we met, Malik expressed his dissatisfaction very seriously.

"Gideon, I can assure you that this matter has nothing to do with me, and I haven't heard anything about it beforehand. Don't you think it's abnormal?" With the experience of an old fox who has experienced many battles, he began to doubt whether Ross directed and acted the whole thing.

But Malik is hoping the focus will be on Watsonton, who definitely won't help clear his "friend".

"Don't forget that there is a girl next to him who is the daughter of the police chief. Ross persuaded the police to block the news, and then visited various media overnight. As far as I know, many newspapers have fallen to his side, and he is in parliament and Internet forums also exerted influence, and the fishing industry began to follow up reports from his perspective. My friend, this matter is not good for you.

The news brought by Malik is basically the same as the information obtained by Watsonton's public relations department. Kenny thought bitterly for a while, and found that he really couldn't get rid of the suspicion immediately. It was useless to sue the newspaper, and it would only make those unscrupulous reporters more proud. Before the incident subsides, in order to avoid arousing stronger resistance from the outside world, the acquisition can only be suspended for the time being.

"I don't believe he can always be so proud. I can stop the merger process for half a year or a year. Could it be that he can have another attack at that time?"

Kenny slapped the sofa hard, annoyed.

"There is no doubt that it is the right choice to take a break for a while, but we have done nothing wrong, so the acquisition can still continue after a short pause. The more dazzling Ross' tricks, the more it shows that he has no strength to resist. Next time you It is completely possible to think more thoughtfully, directly mobilize resources to completely overwhelm him, and the victory will definitely belong to Watsonton, I never doubt that." Malik's eyes flickered, and then he put forward his own suggestion.

"The most important thing now is to divert attention, and at the same time (good money) to find out the truth, what exactly happened to Ross last night. In my opinion, who operated the attack is a secondary issue. Any thinking

Meticulous people will not make low-level mistakes in this link. If the other party has made arrangements, it may lead our thinking into misunderstandings. The key is that if he is really attacked,

How did he escape, and what we don't know, I think it may be easier to find clues among them-we need to open up our minds and find out his hidden secrets. "

"That's right! You're right, Gideon!" Watsonton II agreed.

Malik's views are so sophisticated and unique that he ignores the details and goes straight to the point. It is completely unmatched by the public relations consultants hired by the company. He is indeed the president's staff. At critical moments

The Watsonton family is lucky to have such a friend to guide them.

Kenny thought so, picked up the phone to contact various forces, and behind him, a strange smile crossed the corner of Malik's mouth.

Although he didn't notice the strangeness of his friend, Kenny Watson II was secretly anxious the following day.

This is completely different from the previous situation. Even in the face of the same huge rivals in the same industry, after tens of billions of acquisitions, it must have never been so uneasy.

He always felt that he seemed to have missed something.

Back home at night, the tired chairman turned on the TV, and as expected, the screen was about the assassination of Ross, who was making a lot of noise.

Watching the obviously tendentious talk show host reviewing Ross's tortuous and moving struggle, beating around the bush and accusing the mastermind behind the scenes, Kenny felt annoyed but powerless.

He faintly felt that this incident was just the beginning, and now it was coercing public opinion, and the next step might be a hard blow from cutting-edge laboratories. .
