Chapter 2 [Reset] and [Offspring]
Sui Yang named the company Giant God, or Atlas, to fill the regret in his heart.
But Soldier Boy...
As a popular character in "The Boys Season 3", Sui Yang couldn't have not known who Soldier Boy was.
In short, it was a super-high-end Captain America who was not afraid of nuclear bombs and had a chest cannon, and it was an arrogant, arrogant and moody version.
But the information Sui Yang read was not limited to this.
Since there was Soldier Boy, it meant that the federal government had reached an agreement and cooperation with Frederick Water, and that Compound No. 5, which could transform humans into "superhumans", also existed...
The world is really messy.
This was Sui Yang's first feeling after reading the newspaper.
Then, a cold, empty and emotionless voice sounded in his mind again, still repeating intermittently:
[Owning... hundreds of billions of assets in North America, then... the door to other worlds will open... whether humans can survive... it's up to you to decide...]
Hearing this, Sui Yang felt that the world was becoming more and more mysterious.
Let's not talk about the hundreds of billions of assets for now, what about the doors leading to other things?
Will he decide whether humans can survive? ?
What the hell is this? !
However, Sui Yang just complained.
Adhering to the principle of "I'm here now", he continued to develop step by step.
If nothing else, for the sake of himself and his relatives and friends in this world, he also has to solve the "superhumans" and even more hidden dangers.
Who knows what else is in this world?
In order to avoid a direct confrontation with Water International in terms of interests, which would lead to the other party's extreme behavior of sending superhumans to carry out assassinations, Sui Yang slightly modified the company's development strategy.
First, if Atlas wants to guarantee its position in the United States, it must involve arms, but Sui Yang will shift its focus to the research and development of relatively "cheap" individual equipment, and undertake "sales" and "contracting" business for both external and internal purposes.
The second is people's livelihood.
Through decades of operation, Sui Yang has transported the fruits produced by his own manor and farmland to his own factory for "extraction" and "processing", producing "health products" such as effervescent tablets and lozenges of multivitamins.
Sui Yang also took advertising to the extreme, and the text propaganda in the newspaper can only be said to be a small fight.
The big move includes spending tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of dollars to cooperate with cinemas in large cities such as Seattle, Los Angeles, and San Francisco.
The requirements are simple, that is, to play advertisements about Atlas livelihood products before playing the movie.
And the content of the advertisement is more "brainwashing".
One of the classic advertisements begins with the actress lying on her side in bed, looking at the night view outside the window with a little loss, while the male actor is in the shower, blaming himself and pounding the wall unwillingly.
At this time, the male narrator said: "I've been working hard all day, I'm not in high spirits, I feel my body is hollowed out, and I'm afraid I can't give her stable happiness anymore."
The screen suddenly went black!
When it returns to normal, the big screen will play a bottle of supplements with the Atlas logo, that is, the red "Λ" symbol.
The male narrator will say excitedly: "Giant Shenbao tablets, strengthen the body, and make up for the overdraft steadily!"
The scene switches again, the male and female actors are lying on the bed in pajamas, and then the actress looks at the camera approaching with a happy expression and smiles: "He is fine, I am fine too~."
This ends here, and the whole process is only 30 seconds.
Such creative advertisements, Atlas, or Sui Yang's ideas can be said to have everything, which was quite explosive in the United States in the 1940s and 1950s, and even set off a wave of popularity in the United States.
The previous cooperation period with cinemas and projection halls started at two years, and the additional terms clearly required that during the cooperation period, advertisements of other manufacturers should not be played, otherwise a five-fold penalty would be required.
At first, cinemas and projection halls thought this was completely a waste of money.
You have to know that the purchasing power of 10,000 US dollars in that era was equivalent to 300,000 US dollars before Sui Yang crossed over. Who has nothing to do to make advertising costs more expensive than making a movie?
However, when the advertising effect doubled Atlas' sales and its reputation continued to rise, other manufacturers also flocked to it, all wanting to get a piece of the pie.
Due to the restrictions of the terms, the halls with large traffic and good geographical locations had to play Atlas's advertisements within two years unless they paid a high penalty.
And two years was enough for Atlas to take a cliff-like lead.
Finally, it was communications and transportation.
By the 1960s, Atlas had a full controlling stake in a communications company and had a professional R&D team, while in terms of transportation, it chose to invest in other companies in the fields of railways, automobiles, aviation, etc.
For example, in the automobile industry, the company that cooperated most deeply with Atlas was General Motors, which also created a high-end brand for Atlas.
Over time, Atlas was a "conscientious" company involved in medicine, health care, agriculture and animal husbandry, industrial manufacturing, etc. in the hearts of the people.
In the eyes of the federal government, it was a "hardworking" company that helped the military deal with difficult incidents and actively paid taxes, especially inheritance tax. "Honest people"...
Speaking of inheritance tax, we have to mention the issue of Sui Yang's offspring.
Sui Yang was only 25 years old when he first came to this world, but his appearance had not changed at all in the ninety years from 1870 to 1960.
In fact, not long after Sui Yang came here, he discovered that his physical fitness was far superior to that of ordinary people.
Strength, speed, endurance and other aspects far exceed those of ordinary people, and he will not be troubled by diseases, but what makes Sui Yang "distressed" the most is...
Longevity.
Yes, his appearance seems to be fixed at the age of 25.
It's not that he has no female companions, and he even had many romantic histories in the "cowboy period".
But as he gradually understood his special physique, he directly chose to refuse to get married to reduce the possibility of exposure, and then he had no chance to give birth to his own children.
Fortunately, these did not cause him too much distress. After all, Sui Yang wanted to solve the mystery and find out why he traveled here and where the voice in his mind came from.
As for those who knew the secret of "longevity", at first only Arthur Morgan and a group of adopted orphans, as well as their direct descendants, and they were also the foundation of Atlas's mercenaries.
Back to the inheritance tax.
In order to conceal his identity, Sui Yang would use makeup to fake an old look, and he would fake his death every fifty years, and then reappear in the public eye on the grounds of "grandson inheriting grandfather's business".
So far, Sui Yang has faked his death twice, and each time he handed over 50% of the cash to the tax bureau. He did not use the so-called welfare or goodwill foundation to circumvent the law that the inheritance amount is 50% if it is greater than 2.5 million US dollars.
This is why, even though the founder of Atlas is Chinese, it can still be green-lit in the western United States... Of course, sometimes Sui Yang will also let private security perform some "small" tricks behind the scenes. Until May 30, 1993, at 14:14 Seattle time, his net worth successfully exceeded 100 billion US dollars.
Then he obtained a coordinate that led him to the depths of the West African rainforest.
Memories of more than 120 years flashed through his mind. Sui Yang just shook his head and smiled, and prepared to enter the ruins with everyone, but...
[You can obtain... reset... and... offspring... through the first world...]
