Chapter 108 Private Meeting with Edgar, President of Water

A few days later, Walter President Edgar met with Xia Shang alone.

"Please take a seat."

Edgar lowered his head to sort out the documents in his hands. He was wearing a high-end black suit and still had a serious expression.

"You handled the matter about the deep sea and the invisible man well." At this moment, Edgar raised his head and looked at Xia Shang in front of him.

"You have not been here for a long time. Logically speaking, you are not qualified to hold this position."

Seeing that Xia Shang's expression remained unchanged after hearing these words, Edgar nodded with satisfaction and continued: "But you have used your ability to prove your worth to us. You should get a new job." Good contract.”

"Oh, Mr. President, I don't know what to say." Xia Shang took the new contract from Edgar with surprise.

He flipped through the contract and looked at it. Different from the previous contract, this new contract gave him a higher salary and bonus incentives. However, the confidentiality clause of the contract also increased a lot. If he If you breach the contract, you will need to pay a staggering amount of liquidated damages.

"Then say thank you." Edgar made a little joke to Xia Shang, "But don't rush to get excited, you have to pay the price."

"The price is that you will become a real executive of Walter."

"Mr. President, this is my honor." Xia Shang said with a smile.

Afterwards, Edgar took out a sealed file bag from the drawer. He tore off the seal and took out the documents inside: "This is Walt's confidential document. Only some senior people within Walt have it." Check it out, and you are one of them.”

"Let's see."

In addition to Walter's future development goals, the contents of the confidential document also included detailed information about Compound No. 5. Although Xia Shang had known about Compound No. 5 for a long time, he still pretended to be shocked.

"Those superheroes are actually the products of our Walter experiment. God, it's unbelievable." Xia Shang sighed.

Edgar was not surprised by Xia Shang's reaction. Instead, he told Walter's layout on Compound No. 5 for half a century, and also put a tube of blue liquid in front of Xia Shang.

"It is precisely because of these charming little babies that Walter was built today. By the way, Madeleine's military bill has been passed. In fact, I have never been in favor of her approach, but I didn't expect that she could success,"

After all, Madeleine is Walter's vice president, and it is not easy for Xia Shang to participate in discussions about her.

Seeing Xia Shang's silence, Edgar continued: "But I have to say that she succeeded, and the Pentagon will pay Watt more than 40 billion US dollars in orders every year.

But in my opinion, Vought Group has always been a pharmaceutical company, and the superhero industry is just an accessory. do you know? At the end of the second station, our Vought relied on a generation of compounds to create thousands of super soldiers. When these super soldiers were put into the battlefield, they achieved amazing results. They eliminated hundreds of thousands of enemies for the United States. "

"This record is indeed amazing. I think Watt Company at that time must have been even more brilliant than it is now."

Xia Shang understood that what Edgar said was not confidential information, and the highlight should be yet to come.

As expected, Edgar changed the topic, "Unfortunately, due to an unexpected incident, the U.S. military tore up its contract with Walter."

If Xia Shang guessed correctly, the emergency he was talking about should be the Mallory incident that year. At that time, the blood debt was paid with blood and the people of Mallory were slaughtered crazily on the battlefield. It was because of this incident that Mallory was Li hates superhumans so much that she recruits Billy and others to fight against superhumans.

Because of this, a tragedy finally occurred, and Mallory's grandson was burned alive by the lamplighter.

But having said that, there was a reason why Blood Debt and Blood Payment killed Mallory's men back then, because at that time, Blood Debt and Blood Payment were not a harmonious people. The Scarlet Witch and others hated the soldier boy. In order to allow Russia to smoothly lead Go soldier boys, they create chaos on purpose.

Bah! Edgar knocked on the table.

Xia Shang came back to his senses and smiled apologetically.

"You know, now, Compound No. 5 has been improved to the fifth generation. Its side effects are smaller and the success rate has been greatly improved. That's why the number of superhumans has exploded like a blowout. So you have to understand, No superhero is unavailable, they are just products that Walt uses to market."

To be honest, Edgar is a very pure businessman. Everything he does is to sell Compound No. 5 again.

To him, all superheroes are products, even the people of the motherland.

In his view, products can be replaced, and only the formula of compound No. 5 is the foundation of the Watt Group.

"Are you planning to put compound No. 5 on the market?" After hearing Edgar's words, Xia Shang asked with some confusion.

Edgar shook his head, "It won't work for now. Compound No. 5 still needs to be improved."

"I thought you were going to let me promote Compound No. 5."

"The time has not come yet, it is not stable enough. I am telling you this just to let you understand what the real core of Walter is. As long as we have Compound No. 5, we will be the winner in the future." In Edgar's words, Contains a strong sense of confidence.

"Your current task is to promote our Water's products like Madeline, and at the same time, get the maximum profit as much as possible."

After leaving the office of President Water.

Xia Shang met the motherland who was walking towards him. The motherland ignored Xia Shang and pushed open the door of Edgar's office.

Back to his own office, Xia Shang poured himself a cup of coffee. Edgar's philosophy was similar to his. Everything he did was to promote Compound No. 5, but he was still too conservative and unwilling to get involved in more fields.

In Xia Shang's view, Water still has a lot of potential to be tapped, such as film and television, games, literature, politics, military, social, news, environmental protection, finance and other industries. At that time, Water can be regarded as a real monopoly group. Now, the foundation is still too fragile.

So much so that a negative news about Compound No. 5 may lead to Water's direct bankruptcy.

…………

Since the SEALs were wiped out, the big men in the upper echelons of American politics finally realized that something was wrong. Their current military strength had no deterrent effect on those super terrorists overseas. Unless they used large-scale lethal weapons such as Patriot missiles, it would be difficult to restrain those guys.

Although they were thick-skinned and could find all kinds of reasons to interfere in other countries' wars.

But they also had to take into account international public opinion.

In addition, they were also worried that those super terrorists would sneak into the United States and eventually cause unimaginable disasters.

So, with a unanimous vote in the House of Representatives, Madeline's military bill was successfully passed.

From then on, Homelander had the right to fly to any location and participate in any action. He completely became a killing butcher wearing the American flag. Compared with the terrorists who fell in a pool of blood, Homelander with a sunny smile on his face made the soldiers present feel more terrified.

After destroying a terrorist organization in Syria, Homelander claimed that he had found Compound No. 5 in their base.

In Madeline's office in the Water Building.

Albert Williamson, the Secretary of State of the U.S. Department of Defense, looked at the compound No. 5 in his hand and sneered at Madeline: "You mean, they stole the compound No. 5 of Water Company and imitated the new compound No. 5 on their own. I think they must have received help from aliens, so the speed of technological progress is so rapid."

"Maybe that's the case." Madeline smiled.

"Ms. Madeline, I don't want to joke with you. We want to know how your formula was leaked? Did a tourist take the formula of compound No. 5 from your laboratory? Or is there an insider..."

He was interrupted by Madeline before he finished speaking.

"Mr. Secretary, we share the same feelings as you. We are eager to find out what is going on."

Williamson obviously did not believe her lies. "To be honest, I really want to put you, a self-righteous guy, in jail on charges of corporate fraud, so that you might behave yourself."

"What is Lockheed Martin's number one product?" Madeline suddenly asked.

Afterwards, Madeline said that the times have changed. The weapons of the past are now a pile of worthless dung and a pile of obsolete scrap metal. With these scrap metal alone, they can't deal with those super terrorists at all.

"So the origin of super humans is not important. Frankly speaking, there is no need to delve into how the enemy got Compound No. 5. The important thing is that they have already got it. Now is a new era..."

Madeline looked at Williamson in front of her and said, "Currently, only one company's product can fight back... That is my company and my product."

Williamson was silent because he knew that Madeline was right. Before cracking Compound No. 5, they still need to be patient for a while.

At this point, the government has completely become the umbrella of the Water Group.

"By the way, we need the Ministry of Justice to help arrest several people nationwide. They are the real murderers behind the killing of the Invisible Man. Fans of Water and the Invisible Man hope that they can be brought to justice in a short time." Madeline said, taking out a stack of photos and handing them to Williamson.

Just as Williamson was about to turn around and leave, he was stopped by Madeline.

"To celebrate the signing of the agreement between the Water Group and the Ministry of Defense, we will hold a celebration party tomorrow night. I hope you can be there."

"I may not be free." Williamson left quickly with a gloomy face.

Looking at his hurriedly leaving back, Madeline's mouth corners slightly raised, she crossed her arms in front of her chest, revealing a faint smile.
