Chapter 165: New Shining Shining Corona Group
For a time, Umbrella became the hottest topic in the world.
Politicians, businessmen, civilians and even religious elements have begun to denounce this once behemoth. Even if it was once spread throughout the world, even if millions of people have to live on it, they cannot save its destiny to be destroyed.
The Supreme Court of each country issued wanted warrants and search warrants to the Umbrella company at the fastest speed, and even the UN Security Council informed the International Criminal Tribunal to authorize the arrest of all senior personnel related to Umbrella in the name of crimes against humanity.
The army and police closed all enterprises under Umbrella as quickly as possible, and all employees below the management were forced to be fired and deported home. All the guys above the management were arrested and detained on the spot, and what awaited them would be long torture and scrutiny.
Of course, there are also some vicious guys who choose to resist, but when facing state violent organs, these private armed forces are really unable to get on the table. In order to appease the people, countries around the world have unified their thinking under the coordination of the UN Security Council. They will deal with these stubborn guys in the way of dealing with terrorists. In other words, even if they hold hostages in their hands, they will not compromise, and shooting death on the spot has become the most common situation.
And this is just a political sanction. Economically, all Umbrella's working capital was frozen, and the government's actions stimulated the keen nerves of capitalists. All the guys holding Umbrella shares began to desperately sell their stocks. At this time, no one dared to have any connection with Umbrella.
The stock market has fallen all the way, causing huge fluctuations in the world's finances. The fall of a giant will inevitably cause shocking waves, which is not surprising. Even as some people expect, Zhou Yi is waiting for this opportunity. When the turbulent waves begin to calm down, it is the moment when he swallows the sea. Now, there is only a little bit left.
Soon, the last little bit was filled up. This was also the first time Zhou Yi began to praise the government's efficiency.
The board members who once stood high and dominated Umbrella were arrested and brought to justice with the efforts of special forces and special agent organizations from all over the world. They were deprived of all rights to human beings for crimes against humanity. Money is naturally one of them.
This made the shares they held disappear into the stock market as quickly as possible. In order to calm the economic fluctuations caused by Ambrera, countries had to sell these shares at a low price to fill the losses of the unemployed. This is the opportunity that Zhou Yi was waiting for.
He began to swallow these shares, and at an outrageous price. Soon, the shares in his hands reached a certain level, a level that was enough to allow him to completely control all the companies under Umbrella.
And this time was two months after the outbreak of the Raken City incident and everything was settled.
Zhou Yi's actions surprised many people. When some countries were preparing to conduct judicial auctions of those seized Umbrella companies, they found that these things that should have completely lost value as Umbrella stock collapsed had a new owner.
A group called the Corona acquired them, and the owner of this group is Zhou Yi, the richest young rich man in the world. He is now qualified to wear this title because a rioter has counted various resources under his name and found that the rich man has defeated Tony Stark with a slight advantage and topped the list.
All of this seemed calm, but there were dark waves behind their backs. Zhou Yi's acquisition attracted the attention of the CIA, but it was blocked by SHIELD. Some jealous guys even led public opinion and called Zhou Yi's behavior a disaster.
However, the survivors of Laken City made the best defense for Zhou Yi. Thousands of survivors identified Zhou Yi as the leader who led them to survive, which saved him from being criticized by thousands of people and became a positive character with a glorious image.
The public praised him endlessly, which led to the stock of the Coronal Group soaring. Although it cannot reach the peak of Umbrella, it is definitely far beyond its peers.
People first began to know this ordinary hero, and through the verbal narration of those survivors, his courage, fearlessness, strength and leadership began to be deeply rooted in people's hearts. This gave him a huge fame and admirer for a while.
These things are reflected in reality. Time magazine invited him to serve as the cover character of the year. The British Foreign Office made suggestions to the Prime Minister, hoping that the Queen of England would award the glory of the jazz to this rich man who made great contributions. The US President also invited him to visit the White House and clearly expressed his intention to have dinner with him.
Obviously, this guy who was about to be swept into the garbage dump wanted to borrow Zhou Yi's name to regain a little more popularity for himself.
Zhou Yi politely declined the idiot's invitation. Compared to the president, he prefers the smart dog he raised. Moreover, he has no time to take care of this guy now.
He is very busy because he is rebuilding Laken City. However, Laken City has now been renamed Huiyao City, and Huiyao City has become the base camp of the newly established Corona Group.
Although this city, which was once depressed due to the virus, has still been deserted, it has already ushered in its new life. Zhou Yi transferred most of his scientific research institutions to this city, and also recruited elites from all over the world to join this emerging company. In addition to those citizens who are unwilling to leave this city, the new Huiyao City is actually not much inferior to the former Laken City.
The corona inherited most of Umbrella's departments, involving arms, medical care and biological research and development. Although due to the T virus, the biological development department must be monitored by government personnel. However, this is irrelevant to Zhou Yi.
Unlike Umbrella, he does not need to rely on inequality methods such as the virus to obtain benefits. The scientific research institutions under his command are enough to support this huge skeleton and make it a veritable corporate giant.
Today is the day when the Coronal Group headquarters building officially begins to be put into use, which is important for Zhou Yi because it means the establishment of his business empire and the completion of the largest cornerstone of his huge plan.
And for most citizens in this city, this is equally important. Because the corona replaced Umbrella and became their payer. They don't have to worry that the corona would be as crazy as Umbrella, because his master was a man of noble character.
Zhou Yi was indeed noble enough in this matter. He repaired the broken city of Laken for free and provided new jobs for those who were unemployed because of Umbrella. This is also the reason why various countries in the world have agreed to his acquisition of Umbrella. His appearance solved a large part of the crisis, both economically and in employment.
Although it is clear that he just let Umbrella shut down for two months and changed his brand. By the way, these former low-level Umbrella employees took two months of unpaid vacations, this did not prevent the workers from being grateful to him. It is not surprising that people think that he is noble in behavior and noble people will always win trust. The world is so interesting.
At the ribbon-cutting ceremony of the Coronal Building, Zhou Yi and his assistant attended the event in full costumes. The guests who were also invited were the new Mayor of Huiyao, Mr. Oberlein Seuster, and a government sent to monitor the person in charge of the Coronal Building.
The government is worried that the corona will become the second Umbrella, so it is necessary to install a guy he trusts in this position anyway.
As for the former mayor, he has already squatted in prison with Umbrella's former leaders. What awaits them is a prison sentence of more than two thousand years.
In addition, there is the new Huiyao City Police Chief, Ms. Jill Valentine. This was not arranged by Zhou Yi, and Zhou Yi had no plans to install these government positions. However, Jill's position was not beyond his expectations.
Because of her performance in Laken City, coupled with her conspiracy that had been identified by Umbrella countless times, she became a hero no less than Zhou Yi. With the strong support of the people, this woman, who was only 23 years old, easily jumped from a special police officer to the police chief of Huiyao City. From the perspective of a politician, this can definitely be regarded as a soaring move. For Zhou Yi, this is too normal.
The ribbon cutting proceeds smoothly, and no one who is blind will interrupt this ceremony. In fact, if someone dares to do this, the following people who have to rely on the corona company tore him apart. Breaking people's jobs is like killing their parents, which is common in China and abroad.
After the ceremony, Zhou Yi stood in front of a podium. This was a speech to the world and a speech witnessing the birth of a corporate giant. Standing here, Zhou Yi was calm. He looked at the people below and many media who came to see him, and said confidently and calmly.
"Welcome, gentlemen, ladies. Welcome to witness the birth of the corona. I know you have many ideas about this newborn, because its birth is deeply related to the deepest sins in the world. Here, I can clearly announce to the whole world that the corona and Umbrella are completely different companies. We exist to benefit the world, rather than bringing disasters and chaos into this world."
"So I announced that starting today, the weapons development department that the corona received from Umbrella was completely dissolved, and all members were merged into the newly established energy development department. At the same time, the notorious biological research department was also merged into the medical research department, with the same members as above. This is my attitude, I don't like war, nor do I like those twisted and evil things. So I hope my company is clean and can withstand scrutiny in the sun."
"Its existence should exist for the peace of the world, the progress of mankind and the prosperity of the earth. It does not need war, nor will it make money from war. It is clean, so that everyone who benefits from it can stand up straight and be a human being. It will not be like those who are still in the cell now, sorry. They need to sit for two thousand years and be scolded by people for two thousand years. This is really unfortunate news."
There was a burst of laughter below. The crime was sanctioned, which is something that everyone would like to see.
