Chapter 12 Umbrella's Attack
After acquiring Marvel, William knew that Halsey spent 100 million to buy the hospital...
A real loser!
Thinking of the cost of Spartan Thor's Hammer armor, a simple conversion with this world, a set is equal to the price of an Aegis-class guided missile destroyer...
Also relieved.
One hundred million?
ho.
That's just Halsey's 'appetizer'.
…
Our boss doesn't want to be disturbed.
I'm sorry, I just wanted to ask him if he needs service.
Huh? Hearing the arguing, William no longer looked out the window to let himself go, but turned to look through the gap blocked by the USS.
It's a hot waitress, arguing with the USS headed.
The USS at the head has a firm face, a stern face, and is shorter than the other USSs.
But this seemingly ordinary bodyguard was actually the strongest 'Death' Hank drawn by William.
And Andre also discovered the difference between Hank and arranged for him to be the captain of William's personal bodyguard.
Seeing the waitress approaching, Hank, who was doing his due diligence, directly blocked her from the defense line.
Caused the scene just now to happen.
After seeing William turn around, the waitress immediately became enthusiastic:
Sir, do you need any service, such as hot coffee?
…
Hearing this, William Li turned around and shook his hand.
The four USS immediately understood the meaning, and at the same time took a step forward, Hank still said in an emotionless tone:
Miss, our boss doesn't need those, please leave.
This... okay. The waitress had a disappointed look on her face and had no choice but to turn around and leave.
…
With his right elbow poking at the seat armrest, he clenched his fist and propped his chin to look out the window at William. Of course he knew what the waitress thought.
A pheasant becomes a phoenix.
Originally, William learned indirectly through the people at Marvel that James Cameron was looking for investors in Washington, DC, so he planned to drop by the way to discuss with the director.
But after the incident just now, he was going to advance the schedule of buying a private jet and building a private airport in Hafa.
In addition to being harassed, personal safety is paramount.
The current Umbrella is only relatively famous in Hafa City. If he travels like this in the future, his life may not be guaranteed.
Fortunately, Umbrella has an exclusive engineering team, and it is only a matter of minutes to build a large private military base by transforming the land he has bought so much.
Then William, Hank and others took a flight to Washington to meet the director Cameron, who has been famous for a long time.
William knew how great this director was.
In the original world, Avatar alone changed the pattern of Hollywood and even the entire film.
The box office blood earned is not counted as a series of chain income.
And now Cameron is not a top director, he just filmed a masterpiece True Lies, and no investors dare to use him after that.
The reason is that the cost of large scenes is too high.
Although the box office is guaranteed and there is word of mouth, the money actually distributed by investors is not that much.
Respect for Cameron, but dare not use it.
But William is not afraid.
He is not short of the hundreds of millions of dollars, and he can invest exclusively on his own.
It was only after William contacted Cameron that he learned that the other party was not preparing the so-called Avatar, but wanted to shoot the second part of Starship Fleet.
Through conversation, William found that there is no sequel to Starship Troopers in this world.
It's not like the original world is getting worse and worse, and a good sign is smashed.
He has no objection to this.
Especially Cameron has the title of The King of Sequels.
For example, Alien 2 and Terminator 2 in the original world pushed their respective series to the top.
But William has his own requirements, and that is the original cast.
money is not a problem.
The main thing is that William is very fond of the love between the protagonist Johnny Rigge and the dead Tice Floss.
In addition to resurrecting Des Floss, William did not interfere in the script at all, giving Cameron extremely free creative space.
After finalizing Starship 2 with Cameron, he wasn't ready to return to Canada because he had a bunch of things to do in the US.
First, I contacted Wang Zhaofeng and asked him to build a military base in the shortest possible time, requiring runways and parking sheds for large transport aircraft to take off and land.
The number of accommodating personnel is not a few hundred, but at least 10,000 people.
There is also the construction of hives and the construction of containment facilities in uninhabited areas.
As for the permission from the government, William gave it to Frank's lawyer again.
Andre is still performing the duties of a colonel, and usually trains the UBCS and USS to make the two units fit.
At the same time, the scope of the search for soldiers was expanded from one province to the whole of North America.
Veterans with family difficulties and high combat power are the first candidates. Those who pass the test will be recruited into UBCS, and finally they will be promoted to USS through regular assessment.
After staying in Washington for a few days to relax, William was protected by the USS such as Hank and went to Hartford, Connecticut, on the east coast of the United States.
They are not here for tourism, because there is an old American arms company, Colt.
William certainly wouldn't be reckless to buy Colt.
It is unrealistic to annex businesses that have existed since the nineteenth century.
But a small arms company called DiMarco in Ontario, Canada, happened to be acquired by Colt.
And William's target is that DiMarco.
Colt's top executives were reluctant to transfer at first, after all, their ambition was to secure an order for the Canadian Army's standard rifle.
but…
But the price that William gave was too tempting.
With Canada's 60,000-strong army configuration and national nature, the order for guns in a year is capped at about 10 million, and when Colt acquired DiMarco, it only cost more than 100 million.
And William proposed to directly hit the greedy hearts of these capitalists at a price of 250 million.
If you have ready-made money, wouldn't you be punished by God?
So after a few days of discussions and the fake shirk from Colt's top management, William successfully got the ownership of DiMarco.
Of course William is not a freelancer...
It can be considered, it will not be spent for nothing, anyway, it will be reset after four months.
One of the main reasons for acquiring DiMarco was to let Halsey use her all-purpose oil ability.
With ready-made factories and equipment, the USS can be the first to equip the optical camouflage effect suits and design the standard weapons for the Umbrella Armed Forces.
William believes that Halsey will definitely be able to come up with the weapons and equipment in the Halo series.
Although William cannot acquire a high-end technology arms company like Lockheed Martin for the time being, he can make a large-scale stake in it after a while.
He could vaguely see C-130s, F-22s and F-35s beckoning to him.
