Chapter 42: Three Promises
Duncan's speech reached its peak after throwing out holographic imaging technology and shouting "the glory of mankind will last forever".
The countless viewers behind the live broadcast screens didn’t know what Duncan’s words meant, but they could all feel the shivers rising from the soles of their feet to their heads from the sound of “Humanity’s glory lasts forever.”
This slogan is like magic, lifting the souls of everyone watching the live broadcast to a different level.
This scene is a moment of silent shock and may become a profound memory for many people.
Duncan also successfully relied on these remarks to gain a group of passerby fans, but he knew that relying on slogans alone would not make people follow him wholeheartedly.
Therefore, he must make many, many plans to benefit the people, implement them one by one, and then continue to criticize some corrupt people, at least to dominate public opinion.
And give stability to the wandering, food to the homeless, goals to the confused, and faith to the desireless!
"Now, here I am, in front of hundreds of millions of people around the world, making three promises!"
In a bar in Texas...
All the drinkers had forgotten to drink. There was anticipation in their eyes. The noisy bar was actually so quiet during business hours.
After Duncan made the three promises, he didn't wait for the next step. As time passed, each of them could not help but clenched their fists nervously.
I don't know if I am nervous about winning or losing the gamble, or because of the promise Duncan is about to make.
As they waited expectantly, Duncan on the TV finally made his "three promises."
"The first promise: fairness!
I want all the hardworking people in the world to get what they deserve!
Ordinary construction workers can live in houses they built with their own hands! Workers on the automobile assembly line can drive cars they assembled with their own hands! Waiters in restaurants can also have sumptuous meals at the place where they work!
I can guarantee that anyone who works in an umbrella company will get their due share of the fruits of their labor!"
Wow!
There was an uproar in the bar, and before the uproar ended, the second promise came.
"The second promise is that security and protection will build a city of their own, and every resident living in the city must undergo strict scrutiny.
There are no guns, no drugs, and no racism in the city. Everyone can live under the sun and no longer have to worry about someone pulling a gun out of their clothes and shooting at you! Your children will also accept it in the city.
The best education, if you can work in an umbrella company, medical and education expenses are free of charge.
In a city built by an umbrella, everyone can pursue the happiness they want, provided that it is within a reasonable range and within the permissions of the rules."
hiss!
People in the bar took a deep breath again and exclaimed that Umbrella has such great ambitions!
Gun control has always been an unsolvable problem in a free land. Although it is not a nationwide gun control, individual city gun control will be the first step towards victory.
With such success, ordinary people who are fed up with threats to their lives will definitely call on their cities to imitate it, and then those serious people will have a headache.
"The third promise: Peace!
The energy in the earth is limited, this is an assertion made by scientists a long time ago.
But what many people don’t know is that the solution to energy anxiety is right above your head!
The moon contains a variety of elements that can be converted into energy, and I believe many people know this."
The holographic image shows the scenery of the moon, the vast deep space of the universe and the desolate moon, which always shocks mankind.
As soon as Duncan pointed at the surface of the moon model, a base full of science fiction atmosphere suddenly appeared.
"So, within the next five years, the Umbrella Company will complete the moon landing. Within ten years, it will complete the construction of the space station and the lunar base, and transport the resources on the moon back to the earth, so that mankind will no longer be trapped in energy!"
After hearing these three promises, the audience's minds have gone from shock to numbness now.
The first fair is settled very well.
The second security umbrella company has strong financial resources and is okay.
But this third promise sounds a bit like watching a science fiction movie. However, the person who said this has a high degree of credibility, which is worth looking forward to.
After talking about so many flowers, Duncan also felt a little dry in the mouth, but this was still not enough. What he said was not grounded enough, and he had to call again to be practical.
Speaking of reality, there is nothing closer than the electricity that everyone comes into contact with every day.
"If you think it's too long, before the plan is completed, we still have a new clean energy solution, a non-polluting, non-hazardous...cold fusion reactor!"
The holographic image projected a model of the Ark reactor. Duncan pointed at the cold fusion reactor model on the TV, "This is the latest product of the Umbrella Company, a controllable cold fusion reactor. Build a standard large-scale cold fusion reactor."
The reactor can provide power to the entire people of New York for one year. Its construction cost is only 1 billion US dollars, and its annual maintenance cost is no more than 2 million. After the energy is exhausted, consumables can be replenished.
The cost of the electricity generated by the two cold fusion reactors is spread evenly across the city. The electricity bill for an ordinary household for ten days is less than US$1!
We will be the first to put it into use in the cities where the umbrella is built. Cooperation matters in other cities will be negotiated with the local construction in the future. In the near future, with the use of brand-new cold nuclear fusion reactors, electricity prices will no longer be a problem for every family.
!”
Whether it was a group of rednecks in the bar or the melon-eaters in front of the TV, everyone was shocked by Duncan's bold words.
Hot-blooded slogans and vague goals are all without tangible benefits.
Ordinary people always make up the majority in the world. As long as you give them what they want, they will dare to follow you and gain absolute public opinion for you.
Electricity, which is such a common expense, can be heard one day being told that it is free. They are as shocked as if they knew that a liter of gasoline only costs 10 cents.
Then there was a burst of ecstasy. Anyone who really owns a big house knows that things like electricity can cause large expenses if you are not careful, and it is definitely a relatively large item of living expenses.
Umbrella's reputation among the public was immediately erased from all negative news with the advent of cold fusion reactor technology. After all, in this world, there are only a few people who do not use electricity.
…
After intentionally being silent for a period of time to allow everyone to digest the news, Duncan continued with a smile: "With no more energy problems, some people don't need to continue to wage meaningless wars. Of course, Umbrella is a company with responsible people.
, will assist energy companies that have lost profits to complete their transformation, or be acquired by umbrella companies at reasonable prices."
In the audience, there were several middle-aged white men whose expressions were completely unbearable. They were all giant companies in the energy field. Once Duncan's cold nuclear fusion reactor technology came out, their companies would not go bankrupt immediately, but their stocks would definitely plummet.
.
The umbrella company really doesn’t want them to live!
Conventional business methods could not defeat the umbrella company, and underhanded tactics failed to kill Duncan. Now the execution platform built by the government and businessmen has become a stage for Duncan alone!
They failed completely. They failed so completely that the only chance for a comeback was to directly seize the Umbrella Company's production materials.
No matter how civilized European aristocrats in modern and modern times try to whitewash themselves, they cannot hide the historical background of plunder and fortune.
The aristocratic gentleman who pays attention to the spirit of contract is the one who does not abide by the rules the most.
Does anyone really believe that they won’t rob them hard? No?
Seeing that they could make a lot of money by looting China, they rushed in to burn, kill and loot. How could they be a group of kind-hearted businessmen who adhered to the spirit of contract?
As for what Duncan said about assisting energy companies in their transformation, these people didn’t believe a word of it!
Duncan may have skills, but he cannot have integrity!
Because the integrity of capitalists is not worth mentioning in the face of interests, they do not believe that Duncan will really be kind enough to help them transform. Even if he does help, they will definitely be ripped off later.
If they had such powerful energy technology as the cold fusion reactor, they would definitely not care about the life and death of their colleagues, and would even add insult to injury.
They began to actively contact the network in their hands, preparing to find some people to use the umbrella to grab technology, or to let the psychotic gunman continue to kill Duncan and continue to split the plan.
Looking at the busy capitalists, Duncan smiled softly, picked up three small silver balls from the ground, and dropped the last piece of information for today's speech.
"If you want to protect such wealth, does Mr. Gaplow think 100,000 people are enough? The changes that a protective umbrella can bring to the world will definitely involve the interests of many people. Do you think these people can really stop the wolves?
Spying?"
General Gaplow on the stage still looked at Duncan with a stern expression and did not answer his question.
"They can't, and neither can the army or the police. We are the only ones who can protect ourselves. In addition, our private armed forces are completely reasonable and legal. All approval documents have formulas on the official website. Anyone who has a grudge against the umbrella company,
You can browse our official website again!”
Duncan smiled and did not continue to embarrass General Gaplow. He turned around and waved to the Umbrella delegation.
A group of company executives stood up in a meeting with their heads held high, like victorious roosters, and left behind their boss.
The flashlights of reporters nearby were clicking, especially the reporters from the island nation, whose cameras were firing like machine guns.
Chapter completed!
