1758. Epilogue (Part 1)

The guardian group, which sprang up like a meteor, fell like a meteor.

In its heyday, the Guardian Group surpassed the Rockefeller family's Standard Oil Group and became the world's largest energy company by virtue of the huge shale oil field discovered in the Permian Basin of Texas. And relying on the advanced oil refining technology with extremely high conversion rate and low pollution, the oil refining enterprises of Standard Oil Group have been completely squeezed out of the market.

After obtaining huge profits from oil, the Guardian Group vigorously developed the manufacturing industry and became the largest manufacturer through the production of robots. After uniting with the Yashida family, it helped them annex Lockheed Corporation and make themselves The strength has been greatly expanded.

Not only that, Hans Real Estate, which was merged into the Guardian Group very early, has also become the largest real estate builder in the United States through the super efficiency of robot labor.

The market value of the Guardian Group has already reached tens of billions. You must know that this is the data of the 1960s, not the 21st century when inflation has been experienced and the gold standard has long since ceased to exist. The market value of tens of billions in the 1960s can be multiplied by dozens of times in 2018!

In addition to being a huge commercial success, the Guardians have even proven themselves militarily. An army of robots defeated Cuba in one day! Even the United States and the Soviet Union dare not say that they can do this!

Just when everyone thought that the Guardian Group would become a terrifying giant, the storm came in an instant! First of all, the robots under the Guardian Group have mutinied one after another, occupying the production line, killing skilled workers, even the army can't stop it!

This robot mutiny shocked the world! No one can imagine the consequences of losing control of the robot army that can defeat Cuba in one day! Moreover, the makers of these robots, the Guardian Group and the Yashida Consortium, can't do anything about it!

And the more shocking thing is yet to come, let alone the United States and Japan, even the Soviet Union has a robot mutiny! And it was confirmed after reporting that the Guardian Group actually secretly sold robot technology to the Soviets! ! You know, they are an American company!

This matter became extremely serious. Tang Yu, the chairman of the Guardian Group, was wanted by the United States for treason and espionage, and all the industries under the group were frozen. And the renegade robot army quickly captured the core area of ​​the Guardian Group, the Grand Canyon Base, which made the last strength of the Guardian Group disappear.

After Tang Yu, Trask and other core members of the Guardian Group disappeared, the Guardian Group lost its last hope of turning around. The company was cancelled, its properties were nationalized, and all employees of the company, regardless of their positions, were taken to the police station for careful questioning. For a while, the police station in the city where the Guardian Group affiliated was overcrowded.

During this process, the Rockefeller family jumped the most. The patriarch, John Rockefeller Jr., was very keen and immediately reached out to the huge industry left after the disintegration of the Guardian Group. Their first goal was the Permian Basin. Not only are they envious of the Permian Basin, which is currently the largest proven oil field in the world, but they also take a fancy to Guardian Group's advanced shale oil extraction technology and low-pollution refining technology. You must know that this technology is only available to the Guardian Group. If it were someone else, even if they knew about the shale oil, they could only look at it with a dazed expression.

But the accident happened again, and a mysterious company suddenly appeared to intervene. This company is called Essex Company! Immediately after the emergence of Essex Company, it expanded explosively. A large number of elite technicians and managers in the company suddenly resigned and joined without warning, and several consortiums also suddenly invested in this company without warning. The terrible thing is that some small companies also suddenly changed their course without any warning, and were acquired by Essex without any resistance!

Such an abnormal incident certainly aroused the vigilance of the economic management department, but after investigation, they found that these people who resigned suddenly were completely normal, and there was no sign of being coerced or controlled. Therefore, we can only morally condemn Essex's bottomless poaching behavior, but there is no way to punish them.

In a short period of time, the strength of the Essex company expanded to an astonishing level, and then they made a lightning move, showing their acquisition and takeover plan to the regulatory authorities. This plan, fueled by a large number of secret connections, unexpectedly reached the president's desk very quickly, and it was really a blockbuster.

The Essex company's plan not only includes detailed capital flow and equity allocation, but also a detailed analysis of Guardian Group's industry-related data on oil recovery and refining technology, including advantages, disadvantages, and improvement plans. Yes, improvement plan! When the Rockefeller family was still thinking about getting a little leftovers from the technology of the Guardian Group, the Essex company had already gone one step further to improve their technology! what does that mean? It means that their technical strength is no worse than that of the Guardian Group!

Losing the Guardian Group, a top-notch technology giant, it is absolutely false to say that the US government does not feel sorry. At this time, two competitors appeared. One is an old-fashioned family with strong strength, but average technical strength. They guarantee that they can analyze enough usable things from the legacy of the Guardian Group, and they are definitely no worse than the Guardian Group. The other is an emerging force, which is weaker, but can further advance the Guardian Group's already advanced technology. How the government will choose is self-evident. After all, the strength of your Rockefeller family is given to you within the national system. If it can be given to you, it can naturally be given to others.

The Essex company has no strength and no money. That's very simple, just give money and get it. Is there anything simpler than a problem that can be solved with money?

The Rockefeller family was out, and Essex Corporation took over almost all of the Guardian Group's energy industry. Although it will be largely regulated by the government, its soaring strength has become a reality.

Since the energy industry is not good, then the military industry and machinery manufacturing industry. The Rockefeller family also reached out to the Guardian Group's robot manufacturing industry at the same time, but before their plan was launched, they were immediately slapped in the face!

A company called 'Sentry' suddenly appeared. Representatives of this company directly pointed out several fatal flaws of the Sentinel T-3 robot that was rebelling, and indicated that the rebellion was inevitable because of the large design flaws of the Guardian Group. loopholes. The Sentinel Company stated that they have cracked the signal used by the Guardian Group to control the robots, and have created a new signal generator that can re-control the robots and upload codes remotely to directly solve the problems of these rebellious robots! !

The Rockefellers are out, for the second time. The last hope of their revival has also been shattered. Although they will not withdraw from the stage of history, their rapid decline is almost inevitable. Maybe they still have huge funds and heritage, but they have lost their two main fields of energy and military industry. It will be extremely difficult.
