Chapter 195 Meeting
Molan Gaoling Company Building, downtown Yangzhi City.
After entering the building, Manager Luo quickly stepped into the elevator and quickly pressed a series of numbers on the buttons. A moment later, the elevator began to sink. As the lights flickered slightly, the floor number on the roller above turned negative.
Almost a minute later, the elevator shook slightly and stopped. The number on it showed minus 29. It had now entered the main hall, which was one hundred meters underground in the company building.
After the elevator doors moved to the sides, Manager Luo walked out. At this time, there was an aisle in front of him. The lights above and a row of light strips on the floor of the aisle were lit up, and there were glass partitions on both sides. You can see that behind it is an enclosed water area with many strange creatures swimming there.
Manager Luo turned a blind eye and walked along the aisle. The pneumatic door in front opened, and two slim women stood there. They had shaved heads and were not wearing any clothes. Their bodies were covered with delicate and smooth white scales that glowed in the light. Although their body curves were highlighted, they looked weird and curious.
The two women opened their hands as if dancing, bent their knees towards him, then stood up and said in a soft voice: "Manager, please come this way. The directors are in Conference Room 3 today. Please follow us." The two waitresses spoke at the same time, and their voices produced an effect similar to a repeated echo here.
Manager Luo followed with an expressionless face. After walking about twenty meters, he walked out of the aisle and stood on a metal platform. You can see that the shape is a blooming black orchid.
After just a short wait, the place where I was standing began to make a "crunching" sound, and it actually started to rotate. Finally, it faced a door with a "number 3" sign on it. The number suddenly lit up, and the door also rose upwards.
The two waitresses made an inviting gesture to him, and he walked forward along the thick metal passage. Before he reached his destination, he heard voices of conversation coming from inside.
"The research has reached a critical juncture. Once we take this step, we will have mature implants available for market, overcoming our customers' stereotypes about our company."
"So, Mr. Mo, how long will it take?"
"In just three months, no! two months, I will definitely be able to produce results that will satisfy the directors."
Manager Luo walked in at this time and saw that this was a conference room. Behind a semicircular wooden table inlaid with crystal light strips, there were five people sitting. They were all executive directors of Molan Company in Yangzhi City. Each of them had exquisite and gorgeous decorative implants on their cheeks and necks.
Standing in front of the five people was an old man with blue hair. Seeing that he was still trying to persuade the director, he said, "There's no time!"
The room fell silent.
Manager Luo looked at the five people behind the table and said, "The directors should know that we are out of time."
A director then sternly asked, "Manager Luo, how could this problem arise? The company's previous strategy was very successful. Judging from the evaluation reports submitted by various parties, we should be able to hold out for at least another six months."
Manager Luo said in a deep voice, "This time, it was Zhan Yi who acted on his own initiative and gave in at the appeal court, which exposed the company's true intentions. I am also responsible for this."
He couldn't say that it was his own negligence that led to his wrong move, but someone had to take responsibility, so he made Zhan Yi disappear on the way back.
Several directors looked at him for a moment.
After a while, one of them said, "Manager Luo, you failed to control your subordinates well. You are certainly responsible."
Manager Luo remained silent.
A director spoke up at the opportune moment. "Right now, there's no need to dwell on who's responsible. We need to resolve the problem first. Director Luo, let me ask you, if the company were to face a foreseeable armed attack, how long could the External Action Department hold out?"
Manager Luo had obviously considered this question before coming. He replied, "With the original strength of Yangzhi City, it is impossible to compare with the company.
But when I came back, I got the news that none of the Wuyi school board members had returned. It was very likely that the people from the Central City Processing Bureau had already arrived. The number of people and manpower who had come was unknown, so it was difficult to make an accurate assessment.
But as long as we don’t mobilize the army and just defend the company, a month should be no problem.”
At this point, another executive director spoke up, "Is this a conservative estimate or an optimistic one? We want a definitive answer, along with detailed data and a report."
Director Luo could only answer truthfully, "This is just my personal optimistic estimate. I will actively investigate and submit a report later, but..." He looked up and said, "As long as the railway is not completed, it will be difficult to mobilize troops outside Yangzhi City in a short period of time, so we still have time to adjust our deployment."
"What if we add the power of the Disposal Bureau you mentioned to the newly acquired weapons? Will it be enough? If we unleash it now, can we destroy the existing military forces in Yangzhi City?"
Manager Luo weighed the options and said, "Perhaps, but I don't recommend using our combat weapons. We have them, as do Canghong Tianqu, Yuan'an Company, and the other companies targeting us. If we expose ourselves first and let them know our true identity, they'll target us. That's not a good option."
"What if we use the previous arrangements in Yangzhi City?"
Supervisor Luo shook his head and said, "The Esoteric Cult Bureau is keeping a close eye on us. Lei Guangcheng is an experienced expert in Esoteric rituals and is very difficult to deal with. He has found and removed many of our arrangements over the past few years, and many Esoteric Cult members have also been arrested. It's too late to make repairs now."
"What about the resistance groups we funded? Where are they now? Can they be used?"
One director scoffed: "The most they can do is cause trouble."
"No, they are still useful. They have helped us kill many people who blocked our way in the past. Now they can also slightly restrain the police station. It's better than nothing."
The director who spoke looked at Director Luo and said, "Director Luo, you cannot leave the company during this period. You are fully responsible for the company's external defense affairs. You can leave now."
Manager Luo nodded to the directors present and turned to leave.
After he left, the directors continued their discussion.
"We can try to negotiate with Canghong Tianqu to get them to withdraw. We can exchange the experimental data from the past ten years. They should be interested."
"Not much hope. You all know what they want."
"We have already mastered several key water sections. If..."
"It's useless. With the previous head office data leak, I suspect they might have already developed a cure. Even if they haven't, the theoretical effect of the drug would only affect hundreds of thousands of people at most. The scale is too small, so it's basically meaningless. They can afford the loss."
Several directors discussed the matter for a while, and finally determined that the situation was irreversible under the siege of so many forces. One of them made a proposal: "Since the Yangzhi City branch may no longer be able to be saved, in order to preserve the company's achievements, I suggest initiating Emergency Record No. 3."
"Second."
"Second."
"Second."
In the police station’s family quarters, inside the old mansion.
After Chen Chuan came back, he began to look through the information given to him by Commissioner Cao.
The above information is some introduction to Molan Company. These things are public in the central city, but outside, only some professionals have the connections to find them.
Because of life-threatening circumstances, Sun Shang, the first founder of Molan Company, has now entered a sleeping chamber and been injected with drugs, starting an extreme deep sleep.
The person who is currently in charge of the Molan Company is his grandson Sun Shu, who is already 88 years old. However, judging from the photo in the information, he is almost a man in his thirties or forties, a young to middle-aged man.
After looking at it for a few seconds, he continued to flip through the pages.
In the past fifty years, the headquarters of Molan Company has suffered three attacks. The earliest one was forty-three years ago. Because it was a long time ago, many people involved are no longer around, resulting in missing data, so the information is unclear. The second one was fourteen years ago, a small-scale explosion, which is needless to say.
The most recent incident was four years ago, when unknown armed forces broke into the headquarters and suspected that a lot of confidential information under development was lost.
This incident seemed to have led to the subsequent strategic shift of Molan Company. The focus was placed on various branches, especially the Yangzhi branch, which could be called the second headquarters.
Nowadays, major companies are stepping up their research and development of combat implants, and have strengths in various areas, but Molan Company has always been relatively weak in this regard. Although it has invested a lot of money, it has always achieved few results.
It’s not that they don’t have their strengths. The company’s beauty and skin implants are unique and at a leading level that no one can catch up with.
But in this day and age, every company and giant corporation has its own armed forces. Only by mastering combat implants can one's lifeline not be in the hands of others.
In order to maintain its own military strength, Molan Company has to purchase large quantities of armed implants and biological combat weapons from other companies every year.
In addition, they specially invited the R&D teams of various companies to tailor an armed force called "Blood Ink Guard" for them. The members of the guard are all strictly selected fighters, all of whom are equipped with the best armed implants on the market, and equipped with various protective clothing and special weapons.
According to the data, there may be three small teams in the Yangzhi City branch, which is 90 people. The combat power rating marked on them is enough to slaughter an old-style army of one to two thousand people within half an hour. Their strength is very strong.
In addition, Molan Company purchased a large number of fighting mantises from Compound Eyes Company in batches. Judging from the orders on the surface, there are probably more than 500 of them, but they should not have been fully delivered yet, and the current number is unknown.
When Chen Chuan saw this, his expression became more serious. He had seen fighting mantises before, and they were really powerful. As a biological weapon with extremely fast speed, ability to fly and coordinate itself, if all five hundred of them were gathered together, it would be really difficult to deal with them.
But since it is marked here, I believe that it must have been prepared long ago.
At the end of the information is an introduction to some important figures in Molan Company.
For example, Luo Qi, the director of the Special External Operations Department, is a fighter himself, with at least the third level of strength. However, he doesn't seem to have many implants on his body. But such a person is more difficult to deal with, which shows that he is determined and has absolute confidence in his own martial arts skills.
Also worth noting are the head of the security department, Han Jian, and the deputy head, Cui Hong. These two people are responsible for all of Yang Zhimolan's internal security.
Han Jian's specific information is unknown and it is suspected to be a pseudonym. This person has never appeared in public.
Cui Hong, on the other hand, was a graduate of Yangzhi Wuyi. Chen Chuan remembered what the Mutual Aid Association said, saying that this person was recommended by them, but there must be something fishy about this. If it was purely based on the recommendation of the Mutual Aid Association, it would be at most a sinecure. This person should be truly capable.
As for the rest of the executives and directors, most of them have combat implants. Although they appear to have martial arts abilities, their combat effectiveness is obviously questionable because they are not fighters.
Chen Chuan thought about it. Commissioner Cao said to wait for his instructions. He didn't know what target he had to deal with this time, but this should be a collective action rather than a one-on-one fight. I think only the elites need special attention, so it is better to write down all the people in the information first and make sufficient preparations.
