I'm the Demon King in Marvel

"This company was originally established in the 1990s and started out as an electronics manufacturer. At the time, it was able to come up with many technologies that exceeded international standards. Later, it gradually entered the fields of finance, biology, and transportation..."

"It seems that this Lin Hao you mentioned has won several science and technology innovation awards, but they were all in the field of electronic manufacturing."

As he spoke, Tang Xinrong recalled the photos of relics he had seen in his great-grandfather's study.

"Yes, my great-grandfather gave him an award!"

"Uh..." Zou Chun was not sure again: "Maybe he got the research and development ideas from somewhere else. After all, he was already over 80 years old when he died thirty years ago."

A person's energy is limited. It is impossible to be proficient in the field of electronic engineering and achieve earth-shaking achievements in the field of biological sciences.

Even some of the greatest scientists of the 20th century, such as Einstein, Landau, Tony Stark and others, only made achievements in physics or mechanical engineering. There are almost no all-rounders who can span multiple unrelated fields.

"That makes sense." Zou Chun turned into a "brain-stuffing freak" and reasoned on his own: "It's precisely because it's not his own research result that he has no ability to change it, even to make a low-profile version."

"What do you want to say?" Tang Xinrong felt that Zou Chun was not expressing all these emotions for no reason.

"After reading all the information, I found that this guy named Lin Hao was too ambitious. It was probably related to his age at the time. He was already over 80 years old, but he was eager to make this medicine to prolong his life."

Zou Chun analyzed the composition structure of the genetically modified drug for Tang Xinrong in front of the holographic projection operating table and picked out a single segment of it.

"In fact, some fragments of this medicine can be taken out separately to stimulate cell division and accelerate cell growth, so as to quickly heal wounds, even regenerate severed limbs, quickly repair damaged organs, etc."

"This means that humans can quickly complete the self-healing of body tissues when removing diseased tumors and cancer cells. With current medical technology, it is enough for patients to maintain their body functions during this short period of time..."

"You mean that even if we extract a single fragment from the ingredients of this medicine, it can cure cancer?" Tang Xinrong was not stupid and immediately heard what Zou Chun wanted to express.

"That's right!" Zou Chun nodded affirmatively: "Even if this part of the clip is put on the market, it will be enough to create a medical empire out of thin air!"

"This guy named Lin Hao is too arrogant! If he hadn't been so greedy, the Lin Group would definitely be one of the top wealthy families now."

Zou Chun laughed at himself again, "But it's understandable. After all, he's over 80 years old. What's the point of asking for money? Of course he wants his life!"

"But Second Young Master, you can throw this part out to explain your current behavior."

Tang Xinrong nodded, agreeing to this backup option as a last resort.

If he didn't know the full benefits of genetically modified drugs, he would naturally be delighted by this technology that can cure cancer and even regenerate severed limbs. But now that he has seen such a great example, he is not so excited to discover this.

You have to know that the number of times human cells divide is limited. Although accelerating cell division can achieve the purpose of rapid treatment, it is burning up your limited lifespan!

The rich and noble are not fighters on the battlefield, so of course they care more about their own lifespan.

Chapter 599 Lin Hao's Mineral Water

Earth, Beijing, Lin Group Headquarters.

Thanks to the population migration caused by the great development of the interstellar era, the population pressure on the earth has been sharply reduced. The domestic population has been reduced from 1.2 billion at the beginning of this century to only half of that. Taking advantage of the dividends of the times, the cost of raising children for the people has been reduced, which has led to another round of population growth.

This round of great growth lasted for seventy or eighty years, covering three or four generations, and it is still on a stable upward trend, but the trend is slowing down year by year.

At present, the domestic population of the Earth is stable at around 800 million, and the dozens of habitable planets under its control each have a population ranging from 200 to 300 million, with a total population of over 10 billion.

The Lin Group is not a noble family and does not have the ability to take over an entire planet as a family foundation, so it can only establish its base on Earth.

As for the noble families that had already succeeded, they did not relocate their entire families like the big American conglomerates. Instead, they learned from the practices of the ancient families and left branches to guard the earth so as to achieve "blossoming both inside and outside the earth."

After so many years of development, the Lin Group has purchased a large piece of land within the Third Ring Road of Beijing and expanded the former headquarters building to form a small park dedicated to offices.

There is no other way. There are more and more industries. Even if we hold a regular annual meeting every year and each branch only assigns a part of its personnel to attend the meeting, there are still 10,000 to 20,000 people. It really won’t work if the place is too small.

The current president of the Lin Group is Lin Er’s eldest son and Lin Yi’s nephew.

Lin Yi got married late and only had two daughters when Lin Hao was alive. If the two daughters were capable, the three siblings of the Lin family would not mind letting the girls take charge of the family business. After all, Lin Hao had instilled the correct values ​​​​into them since childhood and did not have the idea of ​​favoring boys over girls. Unfortunately, Lin Yi's two daughters have been playing with Lin Shan since childhood and hate being bound. They only hope to learn from their aunt to live a free life and do not want to manage the family business.

Seeing that their two eldest daughters had become as useless as their younger sister, the brothers Lin Yi and Lin Er decided to train Lin Er's eldest son as the successor. Anyway, the three siblings had developed good habits since childhood and they would discuss things together, and there was no distinction between legitimate and illegitimate children.

Later, Lin Hao passed away, and Lin Yi, who was in his fifties, unexpectedly had a son in his old age. Lin Er then found his son to do some work and trained his eldest brother's youngest son as the next generation heir.

Regardless of what their children and grandchildren think, the three Lin siblings think that this "shift system" is good and is in line with the Lin family's fine tradition of discussing things together and never getting angry.

Lin Shan never got married and didn't have children until she was old, so it didn't matter. She had enjoyed everything she should have in this life. She had a harmonious family and had never encountered any troubles in the mansion. What else was there to be dissatisfied about?

Lin Yi and Lin Er think that the system of rotating inheritance is a good one, as it saves their descendants from fighting and possibly splitting up the family.

The only one who had a little resentment was Lin Er's eldest son Lin Chengdong. However, his father and uncle were still alive, and he didn't even have many shares in his name, so his little resentment would not turn into a big problem.

Thirty years have passed, and Lin Chengdong has gradually accepted the "shift system". As for how long this system can last, only God knows.

In the large conference room, President Lin Chengdong and his cousin, Vice President Lin Chengliang, were listening to the audit and management planning of the group's industries by the finance and administration departments.

"Presidents, the 'Sanjiangyuan' brand of mineral water has been losing money for more than eight consecutive years. Isn't it time to optimize it?" suggested the financial director.

"Indeed, the cost of interstellar transportation has been rising for three consecutive years. We transport water to other planets to sell, and we lose two tons of money for every ton we transport!" the administrative director echoed.

"Not only on other planets, but also on Earth, we are about to face an imbalance between income and expenditure. The retail price of two yuan has been maintained for eighty years. Although the sales volume is considerable, the labor cost and operating cost have been rising in recent years, and the profit margin has been getting lower and lower. The group is now spending money to support this brand."

As the accountant of the Lin Group, the CFO wishes all the businesses under his command to make money, which is a manifestation of diligence and responsibility.

Lin Chengdong, who was sitting in the first seat, did not speak. Lin Chengliang, who was sitting on his left, glanced at his cousin and expressed his opinion.

"That's not how you calculate the bill!"

"'Sanjiang Brand' mineral water is a semi-public welfare product created by my grandfather specifically to improve the ecological environment of the source of the Three Rivers. It not only solves the employment problem of the population in many remote counties around the source of the Three Rivers, but also establishes a good reputation for the Lin Group to care about its compatriots."

"Grandpa succeeded in making the top management pay more attention to Lin's company with this operation, and also received verbal praise from the big boss. This allowed Lin's company to catch the first ship in the early interstellar era. Otherwise, with so many people competing for it, how could a private company like us get a ticket?"

"Back then, some people said that Grandpa was not doing his job properly, but later on, who didn't praise Grandpa for his foresight?"

"The slogan of 'Sanjiangyuan' is 'Water from Hometown'. This mineral water once became the daily drinking water for the first generation of immigrants, expressing their homesickness. It was even praised by senior leaders as 'relieving the emotions of immigrants and making a positive contribution to interstellar development'."

"This is not just about a bottle of water, it's about the good reputation that our Lin's has built over the past 80 years. It's a moving billboard!"

"Why haven't you raised the price in 80 years? Just to keep this billboard lit!"

"How much do we invest in advertising every year? How much can we subsidize these mineral water factories every year?"

Lin Chengliang made a long speech with a firm attitude, that is, he had to sell everything he had to keep the "Sanjiang Brand" mineral water going, not to mention that these mineral water factories were nothing to the current Lin Group.

The reason why he made such a high-profile statement was that he actually had his own thoughts.

Although Lin Chengliang had never seen his grandfather Lin Hao since he was a child, his father, uncle, and aunt were all alive. They had told Lin Chengliang about his grandfather's deeds since he was a child. Lin Chengliang could feel their deep respect and admiration for his grandfather.

Therefore, Lin Chengliang firmly supports all the decisions left by his grandfather!

Lin Chengdong glanced at his cousin and smiled without saying anything.

Although my cousin is already 28 years old, his office fighting tactics are still immature, and he seems to have never believed that he will return the position of president to his uncle's lineage as promised after his retirement.

This action of eagerly raising the banner of grandfather was clearly an attempt to curry favor with the three elders in the family, and also a reminder to Lin Chengdong not to "violate the ancestral teachings."

"Chengliang is right." Lin Chengdong finally spoke: "'Sanjiang Brand' mineral water is a business card of our Lin family. It is reasonable to spend a little money to print a business card."

Seeing the two CEOs’ firm attitude, the financial director and administrative director no longer mentioned the issue of “industry optimization” and continued to report on the plans of other departments.

The Lin Group now has so many industries, and a few mineral water factories are really nothing.

However, the meeting was only halfway through when the CEO's secretary hurriedly opened the door of the conference room and ran to Lin Chengdong's ear and whispered, "Mr. Liu called you."

Hearing this, Lin Chengdong immediately stood up.

"Everyone take a break first."

After saying that, he walked towards the door. After taking two steps, he turned back and shouted to his cousin: "Chengliang, come here too!"

Since he was not against the "shift inheritance system", he should show it through his actions to prevent his young cousin from having wild thoughts and being criticized by the elders in the family.

Chapter 600: The reaction of the tool man's descendants

"The 'Spark' laboratory on the Yuanchu star?"

Lin Chengdong returned to the president's office and was confused as soon as he answered the phone.

Does Lin own this laboratory?

"Mr. Liu, don't worry. I will check myself right away and get back to you within an hour... no, within half an hour."

The person who called Lin Chengdong was none other than the eldest son of the Liu family from thirty years ago. He was already in his sixties and naturally no longer the "eldest son", but he had not become the master of the Liu family either.

When Young Master Liu first entered politics, he suffered a setback in the county town and fell into the trap of his opponents. Although the Liu family stepped in and the two sides mediated, Young Master Liu successfully landed, but it still left an inglorious mark on his resume.

If it were an ordinary person, it wouldn't have much of an impact, but as the Liu family is a top noble family, the head of the family must be a master, otherwise they wouldn't be able to support such a large family business, and it would inevitably make the surrounding wealthy people suspicious.

If people's hearts are unstable, how can they establish their own mountain and hoist their own flag?

Young Master Liu, who had a blemish on his resume, was doomed to fail to make it to this level after passing through the huge battle array of thousands of troops. He was not the kind of person with extraordinary talent or strong personal charm who could erase the blemish through his own efforts later on.

Therefore, the Liu family decisively changed the training target and concentrated resources on Young Master Liu's younger brother.

With his career in government over, Mr. Liu had no choice but to turn to the business world.

To be honest, Young Master Liu's business talent is not that great. He simply relies on the power of the Liu family to bully others. If he were replaced by a more capable trader, he could make 100 yuan with 100 yuan. However, Young Master Liu can only rely on his family's power to barely make a profit of 100 yuan with 10,000 yuan.

Of course, it is enough to achieve stable growth in family wealth. What wealthy families seek is stability.

Objectively speaking, if you have not received an orthodox and professional education, and don't have some intrigue skills, you won't be able to handle such a big business, and you will definitely be fooled by your subordinates!

So Mr. Liu can actually shout out loud: I have achieved what I have today because of my own efforts!

If you want Young Master Liu to discover new business opportunities and create new markets, that might be a bit too much to ask, but if you want him to keep an eye on other families trying to follow suit and get a piece of the pie, he's very good at that.

Look, the news just came out from Yuanchu Star, Young Master Liu... no, now Mr. Liu got the news immediately.

After much inquiry, it was discovered that the laboratory that the second son of the Tang family had gone to great lengths to seal off was actually related to the Lin Group, one of their own white gloves. Mr. Liu immediately called to inquire.

"Xiao Wang, go call Director Shen over." Lin Chengdong put down the phone and immediately got busy, and told his secretary: "Wait, call Director Liu over as well."

"Brother, what's wrong?" Lin Chengliang asked from the side.

"Mr. Liu asked if our company has a biological laboratory called 'Spark'. He sounded very anxious." Since he called his cousin over, Lin Chengdong naturally did not intend to hide it from him.

"Alas, it's the Liu family again..."

Lin Chengliang is a young man, and of course he doesn't want his family to be treated like dogs by the Liu family all the time, but he is not a child who is ignorant of the world, and at most he will complain a few words at home.

"Don't say such meaningless words in the future!" Lin Chengdong warned earnestly.

"I know we can't afford to offend the Liu family."

A moment later, the financial director and administrative director came into the conference room together.
