Of course, the hive members in the Hezhu area are not only the Syndicate, but also Adek and ordinary people from other areas.
Not every infected body will join the hive. There are also a large number of infected bodies that have been suppressed and mutated among the people and infected bodies that were previously isolated by the alliance. They all live a normal life and never participate in the affairs of the alliance and other organizations.
After the remote explanation, Du Chen teleported away from the Quartz Plateau and came to Golden City.
Since it was revealed that Shirouf's boss is the leader of Team Rocket, Shirouf has undergone a series of investigations from personnel to business.
During this period, Shirouf's stock plummeted, especially as the black industry was uncovered, which led to the investigation of a large number of executives and shareholders. In the end, the company's industry went through splits and reorganizations, and was eaten up by several large companies.
Among them, Fengyuan's Devin Company took over 60% of Shiruf's industry, and less than half of the remaining industry was swallowed up by several big families and companies in Guandu and Chengdu.
Among them, there is a newly rising star company, Umbrella Pharmaceuticals, which has changed its name to Umbrella Group after acquiring several complete production lines of Shirouf.
The 20th to 30th floors of the Shiruf Building are now Umbrella's office areas.
Of course, this is only the area on the surface of Umbrella, and there are many underground bases behind it for medical research and development.
These include the manor owned by the Luo family and some of the Rockets' sub-bases.
Scientists who used to be in the Rockets, such as Dr. Nanbo, Dr. Seger, etc., have become Umbrella researchers.
Although its main business is still pharmaceuticals, after its acquisition of Shirufu's food industry chain, its products have spanned many fields, including the production of energy cubes, the production of elf snacks, tree fruit planting and grafting, etc.
Ophelia, the secretary of Shiruf's vice president, had no problems during the alliance's review. After the review, she joined Umbrella and became the president, which was another addition to her already shining resume.
"Our potential to increase the production of candies has been approved by food supervision. We have already had some orders in regions such as Hoenn and Sinnoh, and we are also developing flavors for tropical regions such as Alola." Ophelia told Umbrella.
The business report was handed to Du Chen.
Although pheromones can be used to communicate between infected bodies and the source, it is still more intuitive to read with the eyes as this lengthy discussion contains a lot of data.
"Not bad." Du Chen nodded slightly.
Although he did not say it explicitly, Ophelia, as the first member to join the hive, also knew through some clues that Devon Company had been captured by the hive.
The current Hive has completely surpassed Shirouf in its heyday in the commercial field.
"In the future, elf rations will gradually be replaced by energy cubes. In this regard, you can also find ways to plan in advance." Du Chen said.
Being familiar with the original work, he knew very well that a revolution in elf food was coming. When energy cubes became available and became popular, traditional elf food would be quickly replaced.
After all, Kirby, which needs to eat hundreds of kilograms of food a day, only needs one energy cube to meet its nutritional needs, which will have a huge market in the future.
"Energy cubes..." Ophelia nodded. Ever since Umbrella's business involved elf food, she had been studying related industries, so she naturally knew about the concept of energy cubes.
However, Umbrella did not study elf food to make money, but to spread a protein extracted from viruses.
This protein is completely harmless. Not only is it harmless, it can also improve the elf's physique and increase the reaction speed of the elf's frontal nerves. At the same time, it will not cause the elf to be infected by viruses.
Of course, this protein has a backdoor. It will mutate when it is fused with another substance. That substance is stored in Ambredo's highest-security laboratory. Before all preparations are made, what is inside this laboratory?
The things must not and will never be leaked out.
"By the way, I'm going to hold an art charity auction in the Luo family's manor in the name of Umbrella. I'll invite all the celebrities from Guandu over." Ophelia paused and said
: "The proceeds from the auction will be donated to the Children's Welfare Home."
When Du Chen heard this, he immediately understood what Ophelia meant. He used the power of the Luo family to gather important members of some big families in Guandu, and then "invited" them to join the hive during the art appreciation and auction process.
There is nothing wrong with this method, and it is also good to donate the proceeds from the auction to a children's welfare home.
As a company grows bigger, it is natural for it to give back to society.
Du Chen still remembers that in the original work, Musashi said that her foster family was very poor when she was a child. Sometimes she had no food, so she ate snow drizzled with soy sauce.
Now that the hive has become the ruling class, it is natural to focus on improving this bad situation, and solve as many as possible.
The more stable and comfortable people's lives are, the more stable their rule will be.
"Very good. In fact, the big families and celebrities from Chengdu can also be invited over. We have a big enough place for their private planes to land," Du Chen said.
While Du Chen was communicating with Ophelia, his communicator received an email from his assistant Ryosuke.
Since Denci's whereabouts have been erratic since he was replaced by Du Chen, his assistant Ryosuke basically relies on emails to contact him.
Du Chen took a look, and it roughly meant that the Whirlpool Island Competition in the Johto area was about to begin, and the organizer wanted to invite him, the new king, as a guest.
Whirlpool Island Competition...
Denci was originally a star trainer, but now he is even more popular after being packaged as a savior. In just a few days, he has received hundreds of invitations to events and commercial endorsements.
But Du Chen never had time to do this, and he usually didn't even look at it.
However, this time the Whirlpool Islands Competition caught his attention.
Because if nothing else happens, Xiaozhi and Xiaoxia, the protagonists of this competition, will also participate...
After infecting many alliance executives, Du Chen already knew that the future strong men who traveled back from the future and warned the alliance about the dangers of the virus were Xiaozhi and Xiaoxia.
He even watched the duel between Ash Ketchum and Rika King in the future provided by Watari.
I have to admit, he is indeed the protagonist, and his aura is amazing.
Out of the inexplicable fear of the protagonist's halo, Du Chen deliberately did not look for the protagonist when he went back and forth across several continents to cause trouble.
After all, he is a son of a plane, and with good luck, who knows what will happen.
However, with the development now, Hive is already in full swing. Although Master Zhi is the protagonist, he is still just a child.
Now that this matter has been brought to his door, Du Chen doesn't mind participating. After all, he is now sitting in the position of the Four Heavenly Kings, and he has to show his face to the masses when necessary, which is conducive to the establishment of a good image.
