Chapter 917 âMs. Daugherty, everyone is here. We may start the meeting.â Serene knocked on the door and softly said. Adina nodded. She closed the folder, got up, and walked to the meeting room.
She had been absent from the company for over half a month, and she could only understand the recent situation in the company only after having a meeting. As LaStar Technology Corporation developed over half a year, they became a large internet company. The executives alone were enough to fill up the large meeting room. Compared to the beginning, where they only had four staff members, the number of people they had in the roomââaround forty peopleâwas spectacular. âMs. Daugherty, this is the financial statement of the company this month. The overall profit is $16,800,000â¦â âMs.
Daugherty, the three biggest projects in this season have started, and they made very good progressâ¦â âA week ago, a foreign crocodile investor contacted our company. They proposed a new concept, which is bioâintelligent technology. Our company works in the IoT market, and I thought the concept proposed by them is very interesting, so I contacted them a few more times. Negotiations went on swimmingly, and the Planning Department has also drafted a preliminary planâ¦â
Adinaâs indifferent gaze suddenly froze.
She coldly glanced over. âWhy didnât I see the application report for this project?â âMs. Daugherty, hereâs the thing.â The bespectacled manager of the Sales Department stood up and said, âOur previous meetings were all just negotiations, and we didnât know whether we wanted to work together, so we did not submit the application report. The Sales Department just handed in the draft for the cooperation plan yesterday, and we havenât been able to let you take a lookâ¦â
âThere is no need to talk about this project,â Adina indifferently said, âOur company doesnât do this sort of business.â
The manager of the Sales Department instantly became worked up. âMs. Daugherty, you might not know that the bioâintelligent industry is really popular overseas. Currently, the industry has a low entry requirement and large profits. Companies that invest in this industry have generally made a lot of money. Most importantly, the payback period of the bio intelligent chip industry is short, and the product development takes about three months. In other words, a huge payback will be obtained within half a year. If we succeed in this industry, our company will definitely become a big corporation that is on par with Winters Corporation Adina cast a cold glance over. âWhat? Donât you understand what I just said?â The manager of the Sales Department instantly fell silent. The manager of the Marketing Department quickly said, âOur department has done market research on bioâintelligence. The prospect is very good, and the profit is huge. I think we can give it a tryâ¦â âMs. Daugherty, the Technical Department has no problem in this department.â The head of the Technical Department stood up and said, âIâve studied the program of smart chips, and itâs also not complex. Our obstacle is mainly the production materials of the chips. â
Bam!
Adina threw the document on the office desk.
A loud thud made the meeting room instantly silent, and it seemed that even the falling of a needle could be heard.
Everyone raised their heads and looked over at a loss.
These people always remembered Adina as an imposing yet gentle person. No matter what suggestions and opinions they brought up, or whether they were right or wrong, she would always listen to them very carefully. She never interrupted them impatiently like today.
Besides, Ms. Daughertyâs gaze was very fierce, which made them frightened for some reason. Adina stood up, and she tapped her delicate fair fingers on the table a few times haphazardly. She coldly said, âBioâintelligence chips are a black technology embedded in the human body. What kind of people need this kind of thing?â
Her voice was extremely cold. âArmy, servants in the rich families, young girls who are controlled in the slums. Can you be certain that youâll never be targeted? This is something that harms people. It appeared on the foreign markets in the grand name of advanced technology and black technology.
Once this thing is legalized and becomes a common thing, all of you may be implanted with the chip one day. At that time, youâll have no freedom of choice.â
Her gaze was as sharp as a blade as she slowly glanced at everyone in the meeting room. Everyone immediately held their breaths, and they dared not breathe heavily. Adina coldly said, âDonât ever bring up this project again. I wonât approve of it.â
