To my shame, for New Ellido, the best model for economic growth is actually archaeology.
"To meet your needs, I founded Victoria Home Services many years ago, aiming to serve high-net-worth individuals and help you take your business to the next level."
"but!"
Mrs. Merlin suddenly raised her voice, her eyes turning cold, and the folding fan she used to maintain her elegance snapped shut with a crisp snap.
"Are you all too focused on immediate gains, trying to distance yourselves as soon as you gain some attention, thus disheartening Victoria's children!"
Upon hearing this, most people remained silent in their chairs. Those with more seniority knew what kind of person Mrs. Merlin was, and it was better to let her vent her anger first.
Otherwise, this meeting will never end!
However, not everyone here is a veteran; some of you have inherited positions after your fathers retired.
Soon, a young man stood up and said with dissatisfaction:
"Mrs. Merrill, as a veteran in the business world, I have the utmost respect for you. However, this meeting concerns everyone's future. The former mayor is dissatisfied with us and has suppressed us for many years, but he is about to step down. We should seize this opportunity and not let the next mayor..."
"Stop!"
Mrs. Merlin raised her hand, interrupting the young man's speech.
Although the young man was somewhat annoyed by being interrupted, he still tried his best to maintain the dignity of an upper-class person and suppressed his anger: "Please speak."
"The young man is quite polite."
Mrs. Merlin glanced at him, thinking that since he was so polite, she shouldn't scold him too harshly later.
"but..."
Bang!
Mrs. Merrill slammed her hand on the table and stood up, glaring at him angrily:
"Who gave you the audacity to yell at me? Was it your bedridden father, or your chaotic business empire?"
"You think a toothless tiger is the king of beasts just because it roars a couple of times? A mere mayor, all he does is shout slogans, and he's only just extended his claws, and you're already scared? You've already cowered?"
"You're even less cowardly than your bedridden father. But I remember you already have children. Why don't you resign from your executive position and focus on raising the next generation?"
Mrs. Merlin was still cursing, but the young man's face had turned purplish-red, his hands clenched into fists, daring not to speak out in anger.
The others exchanged glances, none daring to provoke Mrs. Merlin at this moment, so they all focused their attention on the CEO at the head of the table.
Under the gaze of dozens of eyes, even though the CEO had already closed his eyes, he still had to open them again and let out a heavy sigh.
"Alright, Merlin. I'll take care of Victoria Housekeeping. I'll provide them with adequate compensation."
After saying that, the CEO didn't give Mrs. Merrill time to react and immediately moved on to the next topic:
"First of all, TOPS Finance has been researching biotechnology for many years and has finally achieved some success. Although we lost the Ghost and Ghost II for some reason, at least the benefits are still in our own hands and we can still observe its data to some extent."
“Bourne, you explain to everyone what Beast Number Two is.”
"good."
Soon, a voice rang out.
Bourne's eyes flickered between light and shadow as he concealed the vampire clan's observation data on Beast Number Two among a host of data, then produced another set of data from TOPS Financial Alliance's observations:
"The 'Beast Series' are biological weapons specially produced by TOPS Financial Alliance. They are characterized by their powerful combat capabilities, long endurance, and obedience to orders."
"Although when Fagar used it, he treated it as a weapon similar to a sword, and it seemed to be very effective."
"But I must remind you all that even the strong are human. And for humans, trust is a delicate matter. I'm sure none of you want a situation where a powerful person, after acquiring a superior weapon, holds a knife to your own throat, right?"
"Therefore, do not be misled by the power of Fagar. What we at TOPS Financial Alliance need is not to create weapons for the strong, but to create strong people who will obey our orders."
