Chapter 8: Dr. Lingus Denounces Shareholders
0
The meeting has already started. Prince Roland sitting in the chair is reading last year’s annual summary report. Ade is still thinking about what happened just now, a little absent-minded. For Clyne’s invitation, Ade didn’t think much and agreed. Just about to ask for details, Roland arrived. They didn’t have time to talk more. Although he has a certain reputation, as C.C. said, he is just an “ordinary gifted scientist”. As a leader of a country, what’s the significance for Clyne to talk to him alone? Is there something wrong with the deal of the Neutron Jammer Canceller?

“- to sum up, Anaheim delivered a satisfactory answer to all shareholders last year. So let’s start talking about this year. ” Mr. Roland began to get down to business. “As usual, the shareholders’ representatives on the board of directors are elected first. I nominate myself. Does anyone have a different opinion?”

Roland’s eyes swept over Ade and Clyne in the conference room and everyone in the video call, with a shy smile on his face. But no one in this room will forget that this man had done in the Earth Moon war. Probably no one in the solar system can compare with him in terms of massacre.

Roland and Diana’s experience is quite legendary, and there are many mysteries about them, but Ade is most curious about their age. Generally speaking, Roland is at least at the same age as Clyne and Zabi. However, looking at the young man who seem to be no more than a few years older than himself, Ade can’t connect this person with a middle-aged man in his 40s and 50s.

There are various speculations about this. Some people say that Queen Diana and Prince Roland usually stay in the freezer and come out only when they have activities. However, according to Ade’s observation, although Queen Diana seldom appears, Roland appears frequently on the moon, which makes the freezing theory not very tenable. Some people say that they have found anti-aging technology and take it as their own. Although this statement can’t be confirmed, there are some supporters. But if such technology is monopolized by them, the leadership of the moon can’t be so monolithic for so many years. Ade once asked C.C. about this question, and the reply was “maybe there is something similar to code on the moon?”.

“Since there is no objection, let’s move on to the next issue.” Of course, there is no disagreement in the conference room. With 51% absolute control, the general meeting of shareholders is basically a speech location for Roland. All others can do is to give opinions. “Do you have any comments and suggestions on the focus of next year’s work?”
0
“With the gradual recovery of the postwar economy, the purchasing power of ordinary people is becoming stronger and stronger now.” It was a man with a sinister appearance. “Assuming that there will be no war in the near future, I personally think that the focus of development can be shifted from the military industry to the entertainment sector. Last year, our company didn’t make much progress in the field of smartphones and game consoles. “

Ade remembers that this is Cardeas Vist, the boss of Vist consortium, and one of Anaheim’s earliest investors. Does he mean to cut down Ade’s own funds? But of course, Ade will not immediately object. He is now a shareholder, not the director of MS Research Institute. He should stand in the overall interests of the company. Naturally, there are representatives of military interests sitting here. Ade is waiting for someone to jump out to block the gun.
0
“Although it’s a bit inappropriate for me to say that,” the one who jumped out was an old man. “But on the federal side, the demand for arms, especially MS, is still very large.”
0
“Brigadier general Hymem, are you speaking as a federal general or as a shareholder?” If Ade had just jumped out, he would have been attacked like this by Vist.
0
“Of course, the interests of the company come first. Are you doubting my character, Vist President?” This old man is called Jamitoy Hymem, originally a brigadier general of the Federation army. With superb political skills and solid military contacts, he quickly climbed to the position of federal finance minister and became the spokesperson of the army’s interests in the Federation. However, it is not clear whose interests he represented in Anaheim. It is rumored that he is engaged in a small elite group in the army, whose members are highly coincident with the members of Blue Cosmos. In short, he is a hidden radical. “Although the white paper of this year’s budget of the federal government has not been published, I just made a reasonable judgment as a shareholder without violating the principle.”
0
“Since the budget has not been announced, I’m afraid the rationality of your judgment remains to be discussed.” Vist is a bit reluctant. Ade suddenly remembered a piece of news he saw last month, saying that the Vist consortium may increase its investment in the military industry. Is it possible that he does not want Anaheim to rob his business?
0
“As an honest government official, I will not divulge the federal financial plan.” This man whose name is Alejandro Corner, is the current foreign minister of the Earth Federation. He has visited the moon many times and seems to be a member of his own group. “But as an individual, I support minister Hymem’s view. It’s better to say that we can expect corresponding returns if we continue to increase the investment in MS.”
0
“Prince Schneizel, as an official who also serves in the federal government, what do you think?” Roland cast an inquiring look at a handsome young man.
0
“Your Majesty, I always strictly abide by the government’s confidentiality regulations.” Schneizel, as the second prince of Britannia, only has a casual job in the Federation, and generally does not participate in Anaheim’s decision-making. “But the budget of our country has been announced last month, and I believe the market is big enough for everyone to eat.”
0
These people are really interesting. In a few words, they have exposed the federal plan to sharply increase military spending this year. Sure enough, Clyne’s emotion is very bad, because he is the hypothetical enemy of the Federation.
0
“There is no pressure on the production capacity of the Research Institute.” now is the time for Ade to make a speech and complete the last part of the argument. “Judging from my personal professional level, properly undertaking more business will not affect the normal operation of our MS Department.”
0
Of course, he will not tell them that the Gundam test pilot has not yet recruited.
0
“I remember that the research and development of the Z-Gundam series are not over yet.” In the video, Vist looks at Ade, “Is it really appropriate to say that there is no pressure at all in this situation, Dr. Lingus?”
0
“The design of the most complex deformable framework has been completed, and only the step-by-step real machine debugging is left behind. I don’t think it’s a problem to add more burden to the Research Institute.” Of course, there are several technical difficulties waiting to be overcome, but can the consortium boss understand this? “Or are you questioning my professionalism? “
0
“Is the deformable skeleton finished so soon? Dr. Adrien?” Roland was obviously very happy to hear the news and gave Ade a big smile. “Doctor, you’re the only one of the shareholders involved in Anaheim’s actual production. We can take this opportunity to talk about some problems and difficulties that others can’t see.”
0
Roland’s shift to Ade is actually the final conclusion of the topic just now. Vist has lost the right to pursue.
