“Chairman early.”

“Hello Mr. Watsonton.”

“Nice to meet you, sir.”

Kenny Watsons II passed through the company building with several attachés, and the employees he met along the way saw his boss and gave way to greet him, while the chairman simply nodded in return.

A long time ago, when he was still his son Warren’s age, Kenny was also a lively and sincere young man, but he worked hard in the mall for many years, touching the dark side that ordinary people could not touch, and gradually his heart became extremely |hard, and he was accustomed to using his own will to decide the fate of others. At some point, Kenny became accustomed to maintaining a serious, stereotyped face, an expression he firmly believed would keep him out the malicious prying eyes of his competitors and make employees who might be lazy at any time fearful.

The boss is the embodiment of the company, how he treats employees, employees will treat their work—- for a long time, this sentence has been Kenny’s core management philosophy, so he must always maintain a high and majestic image in front of his subordinates.

Arriving at the top conference room, Dr. Jiao, the head of Kenny’s personally appointed mutant genetic research group, was waiting there, and after the assistant brought two cups of coffee, Chairman Watsons began to ask the world-famous female geneticist about the recent progress of his work.

“How’s that boy Jimmy’s genetics doing?” Drinking strong coffee, Watsonton II asked.

“Pretty smooth.” Dr. Jiao, a middle-aged half-breed boy with black hair and white skin, calmly answered.

“It’s too early to do comprehensive genetic sequencing, but it’s not difficult to analyze the active ingredients associated with treatment, and we’re working hard to isolate serum, hoping to extract antibodies that inhibit mutant cells, and I think the day when Chuang will be put into use won’t be long, and we will have preliminary experiments as soon as next week.”

“It seems that you have grasped the core issue, which I am very satisfied with.” Kenny certainly wasn’t interested in genetic mapping, which was a huge undertaking that even Watsons Pharmaceuticals struggled to undertake. If there is not enough return, even if he is the chairman, he cannot go against the interests of the company excessively, so he just wants to use this excuse to mobilize the company’s resources and develop inhibitory drugs to treat his son Warren, so that he can become an ordinary person again, without being ostracized by high society.

After understanding the progress of the development, Kenny sent the woman back and began reviewing today’s documents.

Inadvertently, he saw the evaluation report of the cutting-edge science and technology laboratory, and Ross’s cold expression couldn’t help but appear in his mind, and he couldn’t help but let out a cold snort of disdain from his nose.

Long before Ross refused, he had ordered the people below to be prepared, and now with his order, he can soon set off a huge smear campaign across the United States, with a large number of specious negative news to make the public strongly suspicious of laboratory drugs.

According to the company’s Center for Intelligence and Strategy, once the sales of Finix’s pharmacy are cut off, the operation of the cutting-edge laboratory will be dealt a major blow, and the |arrogant brat will eventually have to cede control and obediently become another engine for Watsons Pharmaceutical’s expansion market. This tactic of dealing with small businesses was already very skilled for large companies, and Watsons II was convinced that he would also achieve his grand vision this time—- and the price paid to balance his peers was a trivial matter compared to the possible future gains.

Kenny was convinced that Watsonton Pharmaceuticals would carry on in his generation and pass it on to his son, Warren Watsons III.

After quickly glancing through a few reports, Kenny was about to continue reviewing it when the office door was suddenly pushed open by the secretary, and the henchman who had followed him for many years hurried in with a few newspapers that had just been listed.

“Chairman, we’re in trouble.”

Looking at the secretary’s panicked expression, Kenny was a little displeased, he has always cared about maintaining his demeanor, of course, the corresponding requirements for the people around him are also very high, so panicked was seen by the people below what it looks like!

But the secretary had no time to apologize and pressed the newspaper directly on the table in front of Kenny, the top of which was the tabloids that his boss usually hated the most.

Kenny glared angrily at his subordinates and made up his mind that if there was not enough news, he would immediately assign the faint guy to the grassroots department.

“Something happened last night, and now many newspapers are saying that we…”

Without needing an explanation from the secretary, Kenny immediately saw the headline on the front page of the Daily Bugle.

“Peer vicious competition is cruel, Ross Byrne was murdered late at night!” 》

Looking at the bloody line of bolded characters, Watsons II couldn’t help but be surprised.

“What, Ross was killed!”

He lost his voice and exclaimed, no longer caring about the secretary, and quickly continued to look down.

The Clarion Daily report on this day was concise and concise, not at all the usual ambiguous style of “maybe”, “or”|, “maybe” and so on, and chief reporter Peter Parker used a lot of graphic materials to describe the entire process of the assassination of his high school classmate, scientific supernova and self-made young billionaire Ross Byrne.

According to his news, when Ross picked up his girlfriend home at eight o’clock last night, he was frantically attacked by unknown people on the traffic artery in Manhattan, and the other party dispatched more than a dozen ruthless armed men to open fire on Ross and his girlfriend’s car in public, during which there was a fierce shootout with the bodyguards protecting the employer. During the shootout, the gangsters caused a lot of casualties and property damage, and then managed to retreat before the police heard the news. According to Peter’s interview, the people in the laboratory said that Ross is usually easy-going and kind, rarely contradicts people, and his identity as a big philanthropist is enough to prove that he is not a rich and unkind, so this assassination must have hidden secrets.

Then, among various ideas, Peter casually mentioned that Ross himself had recently rejected a hostile takeover request, implying that powerful peers were jealous of Ross’s achievements and wanted to stifle this new force that could break the monopoly pattern in the pharmaceutical industry.

Who is this evil peer, the old and slippery horn newspaper owner James, of course, will not let his people pick out the identity, but he carefully concocted some words and deeds, making people involuntarily look at the pharmaceutical industry’s largest company, Watsons Pharmaceutical.

Anyway, Watsons has always looked down on gossip tabloids, and of course he will not give them advertising money, and James did not hesitate to stand on Ross’s side and take the lead in issuing a word of justice.

In a short text space are accompanied by several photographs taken at the scene of the attack.

The first few pictures include a large number of shocking bullet holes and destroyed property, and the back is the scene of innocent passers-by and bodyguards covered in blood being carried on a stretcher by emergency personnel to the hospital for rescue, and the last close-up is Ross standing in front of the smoking car wreckage, with a resolute expression hugging his frightened and crying girlfriend in his arms, affectionately stroking |her hair and softly comforting the picture, it seems that the atmosphere is as miserable as it is, and the heroine’s frightened expression is very real and credible, And the male protagonist’s calm demeanor after encountering such a violent attack is also impressive.

Watsons II looked at the newspaper blankly, and did not react for a long time.

“…… Who did it? ”

It took Kenny this question for a long time, and then he found the secretary dodging his eyes.

It had nothing to do with me—- he wanted to yell and vent his anger, but the timing was indeed a little unfortunate.

As a close confidant, the secretary knew that his boss was arranging a siege against Ross, but whether this assassination was done by Watsonton, he was still a little unsure.

After all, there is no father and son above the mall, and sometimes in order to seize profits, people who have a good relationship can also be ruthless. The middle class may still believe in the cliché of fairness and justice, but Vanity Fair is completely different, far from it, look at how Obadai dealt with Tony to understand that Stark’s father and son and Obadai Stein have had decades of friendship, and there is no room for mercy when it is time to strike.

After watching the scene of Stark’s senior management killing each other, and then look at what is between Ross and Watsonton, he is not the son of the chairman, snatching so much market share from Watsonton Pharmaceutical, why can Kenny be so magnanimous?

The secretary’s mind Kenny could see clearly, but that’s how he got into trouble.

It is very simple to get yourself out of this kind of thing, after all, it is a large company in the world, and it is basically impossible to fall into this kind of chasing case, but the negative impact of a while will not fade so quickly. Especially in normal times, the Watsons family has always prided itself on being serious and restrained, looking down on playboys like Stark, and also looking down on other nouveau riche with little seniority, often priding themselves on being high and feeling superhuman, such a tradition can usually be regarded as a wealthy style, admired by the world, and now once questioned by the outside world but unable to be cleared in time, then the ensuing ridicule and sarcasm will definitely become more intense.

Without waiting for that day to come, Kenny could already imagine the vicious sarcasm of his competitors in private.

Holding back the anxiety in his heart, he gathered the company’s senior management to urgently discuss countermeasures, and then called his most trusted powerful friend.

An hour later, Malik personally arrived at Watsonton Pharmaceutical’s headquarters.

“Your Excellency the President is very concerned about this, Kenny, this kind of thing breaks our bottom line.” As soon as they met, Malik expressed his dissatisfaction very heavily.

“Gideon, I can guarantee that this matter has nothing to do with me, and I haven’t received any rumors beforehand, don’t you think this is very abnormal?” By this time, Kenny had already recovered from his anxiety, and with the experience of a battle-hardened old fox, he began to wonder if the whole thing was directed by Ross.

But Malik is hoping that the outside world will focus on Watsonton, and he certainly will not help his “friend” clear his suspicions.

“Don’t forget that there is a girl next to him who is the daughter of the police chief, Ross said that the police blocked the news, and then visited various media outlets overnight, as far as I know, many newspapers have turned to his side, and he has also exerted influence in parliament and online forums, and the fishing industry has begun to follow up from his perspective.” My friend, this matter is very bad for you. ”

The news brought by Malik was basically the same as the information obtained by Watsonton’s public relations department, Kenny thought hatefully for a while, and found that he really could not get rid of the suspicion immediately, and it was useless to sue the newspaper, it would only make those unscrupulous reporters more proud, and before the incident subsided, in order to avoid causing stronger resistance from the outside world, he could only suspend the acquisition for the time being.

“I don’t believe he can always be so proud, I can stop for six months or a year and start the merger process, can he be attacked again?”

Slamming the couch hard, Kenny was exasperated.

“There is no doubt that a temporary delay is the right choice, but we have not done anything wrong, so the acquisition can continue after a pause, the more dazzling Ross’s tricks are, the more it shows that he has no power to resist, and next time you can think more thoughtfully, directly mobilize resources to completely overwhelm him, the victory will definitely belong to Watsonton, I never doubt this.” Malik’s eyes flickered, and then he made his own suggestion.

“The most important thing now is to shift your gaze and find out the truth about what exactly happened to Ross last night. In my opinion, who operated the attack is a secondary issue, any thoughtful person will not make low-level mistakes in this link, if the other party has made arrangements, but may lead our thinking into the misunderstanding, the key is if he really encountered the attack, how to escape, what we do not know, I think it may be easier to find clues—- we have to open up our thinking, find out his hidden secrets. ”

“That’s right! You’re absolutely right, Gideon! Watsons II agreed.

Malik’s views are old and unique, and they let go of the side and get to the point, which is not at all comparable to the group of public relations consultants hired by the company, worthy of the president’s staff, and it is really the Watsonton family’s luck to have such friends for guidance at critical moments.

Kenny thought so, picked up the phone to contact the forces, and behind him, a weird smile crossed the corner of Malik’s mouth.

Although he did not find the strangeness of his friend, the next day, Kenny Watsonton II was in a dark anxiety.

This is completely different from the previous situation, even in the face of the same huge industry rivals, after tens of billions of acquisitions, Kenny has never been so uneasy.

He always felt as if he was missing something.

When he returned home in the evening, the tired chairman turned on the TV, and unsurprisingly, the screen was about the assassination of Ross, who was making a lot of noise.

Watching the obviously inclined talk show host review Ross’s tortuous and moving struggle, and accuse the mastermind behind the scenes, Kenny felt a pang of anger but powerlessness.

He vaguely felt that this matter was just the beginning, now it was to envelop public opinion, and the next thing might be a powerful blow from a cutting-edge laboratory.
