"Choo~chew~"

In a certain forest, there was a pair of gray finches crying happily.

The dazzling sunlight sprinkled through the cracks of the maple leaves on the wetter ground. If you look closely, there are all kinds of mosquitoes flying.

Of course, the sneaky instant noodle man, raccoon is indispensable here.

If you set up a camera, the pictures here can definitely be selected for "National Geographic" or "Animal World", everything looks so beautiful.

"Boom-boom-!"

However, the roar of the engine of a black Hummer broke the tranquility of nature.

Although there is no clear road for vehicles in the woods, it can rely on its brutal off-road performance to drive deep into the woods like a flat ground.

In the car

"Huh...ha..." someone's breathing sounded while sleeping.

I saw Alpha and Hank in suits for the driver and co-pilot.

Sitting on the back, William leaned back on the cushion and fell asleep with his head open.

"Gulong! Gulong!" The tire seemed to run over a larger stone, causing the body to shake.

Even William swayed with the body, but he was so silent that he couldn't wake him up.

"Lieutenant."

Alpha, who was driving the Hummer, asked Hank, "It's coming, do you ask the boss to get up?"

Hank said quietly, "No, let the boss take a break."

"Yes, Lieutenant."

The two Alphas returned to silence, leaving only William's steady breathing in the car.

Shortly after.

The Hummer drove through the obstacle area just now and came to a dirt road that was blocked by more luxuriant foliage.

"Oh~! Uh~!"

William stretched and rubbed his sore neck, then he lowered the car window and looked outside.

Well, the cool breeze in the shade of the trees made him sober.

It is August 17, 2007, more than a year has passed since William came to this world.

Umbrella also developed wildly within a year, monopolizing the vast majority of Canadian companies.

Even if the outside world does not know exactly how many assets William has, the US "Fortune" magazine still ranks Umbrela in the twentieth position of the world's top 500 companies.

"Fortune" relied on Umbrella's obvious companies to calculate, and concluded that operating income was about 100 billion, profit was about 14 billion, and there were tens of thousands of employees.

Umbrella’s various data overpowered Bank of America and became the 20th largest company in the world.

What about number one in the world?

Yes…

Walmart.

That's right, it's the Wal-Mart.

Wal-Mart’s operating income is 351.1 billion, and its profit is 11.2 billion.

But the world's second-largest BP has a profit of 22 billion, even Umbrella's 14 billion. How did Wall reach the world's number one?

That's because Wal-Mart's number of employees has reached a frightening 1.9 million, making it number one in the top 500 for many years.

However, "Fortune" magazine did not evaluate Wal-Mart very well, but praised Umbrella.

He has even published several articles saying that Umbrella will be the leader of mankind in the 21st century, and his attitude is obviously to confront Wall Street.

For this, William would like to thank him.

Because of the smoke-free war between Fortune and Wall Street, his Umbrella sits firmly on the cusp of the storm.

Where is the money?

So William can get attention without all kinds of micromanipulations. Of course he would like to thank Fortune magazine.

Most of the 14 billion profits calculated before were deposited in the accounts managed by the system and belonged to him completely.

The monthly amount of system funds that can be spent on itself is 500,000, but compared with 14 billion...

William didn't bother to touch the half a million.

Speaking of the system.

Fortunately, William bought the Bank of Nova Scotia a long time ago.

Otherwise, if the world knows that he has 150 billion every year...

That's fun.

During this year, William used the "Athabasca Agreement" signed by Umbrella and the United Nations to frantically acquire various arms companies.

Lockheed Martin was the first to fall, followed by Boeing, and then various veteran arms companies.

This means...

Core technologies such as the V-22 Osprey tilt-rotor transport aircraft, C-130 Hercules, and F-22 are all mastered by Umbrella.

Lao Mei complained and didn't complain.

Umbrella's nature is not a country, but William's personal possession.

Capitalism also highly values ​​personal property. If you have money, you are your father.

Working class?

No rights.

Said it is democracy and freedom, but in fact...hehe.

William is now the father of the fund owner of most companies in North America.

In this way, Umbrella’s arms department used various core technologies and various drawings purchased in Ukraine to produce a large number of enhanced vehicles and weapons for the armed department.

As for the Xbox's research and development plan, it is a bit shelved.

On the contrary, the "Abnormal Crisis" that was carried out at the same time is about to be completed.

For Bungie production team, William is very confident.

After all, the first Xbox game "Halo" in the original world came from Bungie.

When William became a major shareholder of Microsoft and discovered that there were people from the Bungie production team in this world, let alone how excited he was.

Xbox can be inextricably linked to Playstation, and it is the magical work of "Halo".

But the high-level Microsoft of the original world convulsed and forced Bungie to let 343 take over, almost ruining the "Halo" series.

Closer to home.

Then Bungie's "Abnormal Crisis" will definitely hit the game industry's first shot.

but…

As mentioned before, Xbox development has stalled.

It’s easy to say that the software of the game has billions of troubles on the hardware.

Microsoft's engineers and designers can't understand William's host, because it is very different from ordinary computers.

In the end, just make a shell and drive system.

Fortunately, this shell looks good, similar to the original Xbox360 final version...

There is a fart!

During the time when Microsoft was researching the Xbox, William voted more than 100 million back and forth.

What a special shell?

Want to know how many lives of agents or soldiers can be saved by this money?

Therefore, William directly used one of his major shareholders' rights to open up those real engineers.

But there is another problem, who will develop it...

In desperation, he had to seek the help of Halsey's female genius.

Originally, William did not expect much. After all, no matter how smart Halsey is, it is impossible to understand the host that the player needs... right?

The fact is, she has only spent two nights to get the various circuit diagrams and software systems of Xbox.

"..."

Thinking of this, William, who looked at the scenery outside the window, had nothing to say.

The Xbox console and "Abnormal Crisis" and other series of first games are expected to be released in the early morning of January 1, 2008.

At the same time, "Iron Man" will be released on November 11 this year.

As the finale, "Star River Fleet 2" will premiere on December 26, Boxing Day, after Christmas.

By then, Umbrella's three masterpieces will be listed one after another.
