Chapter 183 Someone wants to split up the Tomorrow Group
The cocktail party of the Tomorrow Group will be held at the Tomorrow Star Hotel, which is also one of the industries of the Tomorrow Group.
The theme of this cocktail party is "Steam and Machinery".
Every major newspaper office in Covenant City has received the news that Ms. Irina, the president of the group, will make an important speech at the reception tomorrow.
The main content is...
During her recent trip, Ms. Irina saw the huge disparity in the development of different regions of the empire. The main economic circles of the empire are enjoying the dividends of the development of the times, but in the remote inland areas, they are still living the life they had a hundred years ago, as if they were forgotten places.
Ms. Irina believes that this kind of development is an abnormality, and the scientific research of Tomorrow Group is also eager for quick success and instant benefits. Tomorrow Group masters many cutting-edge technologies and has gained a lot of wealth from them, but it also makes Tomorrow Group path-dependent. It only focuses on the lucrative high-end market and ignores the needs of the people at the bottom for cheap technological industrial products.
Therefore, Tomorrow Group will increase its investment in research and development of low-end industrial products and manufacture steam machinery that ordinary people can afford.
At the same time, Ms. Irina will also announce an investment plan, which is to invest and build factories in remote areas of the empire.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that this is Irina once again building momentum for her candidacy for Congress, with the purpose of attracting votes from remote areas of the empire.
But Tomorrow Group's goal to invest in the field of low-end industrial products will undoubtedly be a major earthquake for the entire industry. If Tomorrow Group launches cheap steam engines and related mechanical products, and then deliberately lowers the price for votes, I don’t know how many small and medium-sized machinery factories will go bankrupt as a result.
For a time, major newspapers in Covenant City immediately sent their best reporters to the Tomorrow Star Hotel, just to get first-hand news, and wait for the front-page headlines to "detonate" the entire Covenant City tomorrow.
No, it is the entire imperial industrial field!
When Angelica and Helot drove to the Tomorrow Star Hotel, the hotel was already surrounded by reporters and people from all walks of life who came to inquire about the news.
Helot got out of the car, Angelica gave the car key to a hotel receptionist, and then took Helot's arm.
The spotlights on the cameras on both sides were flashing. The images of the two people were so good that the reporters were not stingy with expensive film.
Show your invitation letter and enter the reception.
There were many booths arranged in the venue, which contained some steam engines and mechanical structure models. Most of the first-arrival guests gathered around these booths and discussed with each other the decision that President Irina was about to announce.
Imagine what big business opportunities there are.
Angelica said to Helot: "You go around alone first, and I will check the security situation around you. Someone may cause trouble at the reception."
"Go! You must be the busiest in hosting such a cocktail party."
Angelica smiled and said: "There are many beautiful girls here. Show your charm and you will make them Crazy, I already feel a lot of malicious eyes sweeping over me."
"I am more interested in the few people over there. They are all top engineers in the group and are usually very friendly. It's hard to see them."
Angelica was helpless: "Oh...boy! See you later."
Angelica went to check the security of the reception. Walked towards a few engineers who were having a heated discussion.
Halfway through, he heard someone calling his name.
"Mr. Claude! I didn't expect to see you here..."
Helot turned around and saw that it was Jack, the manager of the Black Gold Group who he saw on the cruise ship last time. Sen.
"Manager Jackson, I didn't expect to meet you here. And..."
Jacks was wearing a dark blue formal suit and looked in good spirits. There was another person walking over with Jackson, Reinham. "Mayor Reinham..." Helot stretched out his hand to Reinham: "I read that right!"
Reinham shook hands with Helot: "You read that right, Mr. Claude. I am no longer the mayor of Hog Town, and now work for the Imperial Commercial Investigation Bureau. Listen to Jackson, You are an engineer of Tomorrow Group, which really surprises me.
After all, your identity is..."
"My identity is that of a civilian, and in Covenant City, the life of a civilian is better. The remote lord is more comfortable, I think you must understand it deeply."
"Yes, life in Hog Town is so boring."
Helot asked Jacks: "Did you also meet in Hog Town?"
Jackson replied: "No, we just met not long ago. When we chatted, we learned that Reinham used to be Hog Town." "The mayor of Hog Town."
Reinham: "I also just learned that the seven war machines of Morpheus were sent to Hog Town by Jackson himself. Sometimes it feels like the world is really small. , we met again in Covenant City, which is so far away from Hog Town."
Helot asked: "There must be a reason why we met here. I am an employee of Tomorrow Group, and I am accompanying you. The supervisor came to the reception. Are you here by invitation?"
Jackson replied: "I'm here with my boss. I heard there will be a show here tonight."< br>
Just know that when the Black Gold Group comes, there will definitely be no good things going on.
Helot looked at Reinham.
Reinham replied: "Our General Bureau of Commercial Investigation has received a report that Tomorrow Group is suspected of monopoly and illegal competition. Our director personally brought people here. It seems that there will really be a good show here."
The Tomorrow Group’s monopoly and illegal competition certainly exist, but they were not investigated before, but they are being investigated at this time. Obviously, the purpose is not to really investigate such illegal business practices.
The emperor's energy was focused on the rebels, and some people who wanted to fish in troubled waters jumped out.
According to the procedure, the mother should come out and give a speech now.
But she hasn't shown up yet. It seems that she has been entangled by people from the General Bureau of Commercial Investigation.
Helot asked: "If the monopoly operation and illegal competition of Tomorrow Group are confirmed, how will the General Bureau of Commercial Investigation handle this case?"
Reinham replied: "Fine, break up, Maybe Ms. Irina will be prosecuted.”
Helot said with a smile: “I might lose my job!”
Jackson also smiled and said: "How could you be unemployed? Our Black Gold Group is ready to buy the industries spun off from Tomorrow Group, and you can come and work with us."
Helot asked: "This If the Tomorrow Group is broken up, once there is a precedent, the Black Gold Group will not be afraid that it will be broken up one day?"
Jackson's smile suddenly solidified, he hesitated, and had to say: "If not, If the Tomorrow Group is broken up, the Black Gold Group may not survive until it is dismantled. The Black Gold Group will soon reach out to low-end industries, which will block the Black Gold Group's last way of survival."
Helot said: " Even if the entire Tomorrow Group is given to the Black Gold Group, do you think the Black Gold Group can play the role of the Tomorrow Group in the empire?"
Jackson was at a loss for words.
