Hafa Time: April 14, 2020, 15:45.
Location: Moon City, in the VIP waiting area of Terminal 8 Spaceport.
This should be the waiting area for elites in suits and leather shoes, or real ladies wearing their own clothes, accessories, bags, etc., for passengers who purchased the UM255 top class cabin.
But in the current waiting area, except for the heavily armed Umbrella Marine Corps officers stationed here, no other passengers were seen.
Because this Spaceport, at the instruction of Serena, temporarily deactivated the No. 8 Spaceport after 14:00 today, which resulted in only some necessary personnel remaining in the entire terminal building, as well as Marine Corps who ensured the safety here.
After all, not long after, a group of delegations will arrive at No. 8 Spaceport on a civilian version of um255. For safety reasons, this Spaceport has been temporarily closed.
As for William and Serena, they were in a VIP waiting room at Spaceport, waiting for the arrival of um255 carrying the delegation.
The room is just a simple lounge, with only a comfortable sofa, a virtual window that simulates natural scenery, and a holographic projection device installed in the center of the ceiling.
The projection device allows passengers to watch Umbrellatv movies and TV series for free.
As early as more than ten years ago, William had the idea of acquiring Disney. Of course, soon afterwards, he did acquire many copyright owners, including Disney.
This means that most of the science fiction movies, games, novels, animations and animation IPs on the scene are owned by Umbrella.
And William was a victim of vvip watching dramas in his previous life, and he hated all kinds of bad habits and methods of capitalists, although he is also a capitalist now.
However, he asked the film and television department to launch an ubrellatv app seven years ago.
Users who download Umbrellatv only need to pay a membership fee of US$7 per year to watch all Umbrella movies that have been released in theaters, as well as various TV series, anime and animations that are being serialized.
Even users who have not paid the membership fee can still experience watching the first three episodes of the series and the first fifteen minutes of the movie without advertisements.
That's right, there are no ads, whether you are a member or not.
William was really fed up with ads in his previous life. Even if he had a membership, he would sometimes have to manually skip ads, which was extremely annoying.
And Umbrella doesn't lack advertising money that's huge, it's only tens of millions of dollars, maybe a few hundred million dollars more.
William is not unusual, and he never thought about making a profit when he started this umbbrellatv, it was purely to serve the society.
Of course, William did this just to increase the general public's favorability towards Umbrella.
Piracy is impossible.
If piracy cannot be eradicated, then Serena and Artificial Intelligence will no longer have to supervise human society, and will have been fired by the boss William long ago.
Therefore, this can ensure the interests of every user who spends money, and also allows those exclusive piracy users to have to pay attention to the true meaning of copyright.
Now William is sitting on the sofa with Serena, watching the new drama played by the holographic projection.
Although William will meet with representatives from various countries and forces in human society in more than ten minutes, he is too lazy to make any preparations before the meeting.
He has been dealing with these politicians for more than ten years, and Umbrella's strength lies here. To borrow a famous saying from fellow countryman Homelander:
I can do whatever I want.
"Boss." Serena, who was sitting next to William, suddenly had a faint blue light in his eyes, and then said to William:
"The delegation's plane will arrive soon. Let's go out and wait for them."
"Well, if others know that we are watching a drama here, it will not have a good impact, haha." William stood up while laughing.
Serena also stood up quickly, carefully helped him tidy up the folds behind his uniform, and reminded him softly:
"This meeting will determine the future security of each colony, and also allow countries that are not members of the UNSC to abandon their prejudices and join the UNSC, so boss, you should pay more attention."
"Okay, I understand." William responded with a faint smile.
After Serena helped him tidy up his appearance, the two of them left the room and headed to the center of the hall under the escort of eight Sparta.
A few minutes later.
Spaceport The exit hall below the VIP waiting area.
Eight Sparta guards guarded William standing in the center of the hall, while fully armed Marine Corps members were also deployed around the entire hall on guard.
At this moment, a group of people wearing suits, headphones and sunglasses walked out from the exit directly in front of William and others and walked into the hall first.
Most of this group of people are agents of unsc Special Services Bureau. Their strength level is equivalent to that of unsc Special Operations Command. They are used to protect high-level personnel of unsc.
As the Special Services Bureau agents walked out, a group of UNSC officials and generals in suits and military uniforms also came to the hall.
William shook hands with the officials and generals in turn and said hello, and the agents of the Special Services Bureau also surrounded the crowd, guarding them together with the eight Sparta of Shadow Team.
When the representatives walked out of the exit next, there was no scene like UNSC, nor was there a group of the Special Services Bureau agents protecting their safety.
It was Marine Corps, who Umbrella belonged to, who protected these representatives when they came to the hall.
This group of representatives represents those countries that have not joined UNSC.
Most of them are from Africa, Southeast Asia and some South America countries, so they appear to be relatively poor.
These countries did not choose to join UNSC because they had conflicts with UNSC member states, but now
It was obvious that he couldn't hold on any longer, so he rushed to this meeting.
The culprit that encourages these countries not to join UNSC is India, which is located in South Asia and claims to be a great power.
Because the main governing countries of the UNSC are still the former five permanent members, India is very dissatisfied, so it refused to participate in the meeting to establish the UNSC.
It even encouraged some less sensible countries to boycott it, believing that UNSC would not be able to survive without India.
But the result?
It is obvious that not only was the UNSC established, but under the technology provided by Umbrella and the leadership of the UNSC, the member states became more and more prosperous.
India and some countries that failed to participate in UNSC began to become more and more isolated, and business exchanges became less frequent.
But even so, India, a country with a good reputation, has persisted for nearly ten years and still can't lose face and join UNSC.
Until the incident when the behemoth attacked various coastal cities, India also suffered heavy losses, including Mumbai, which India is proud to list and considers to be the most developed city in the world.
Unsc was able to Mutual help, and with the support of Umbrella's Engineering Team, it began to slowly survive the disaster caused by the giant beast.
But India, and the countries that were fooled by India, do not have such good luck and strength, and they have not recovered until now.
India, the country with the best reputation, had no choice but to lose face and attend this meeting due to the increasingly turbulent situation in the country.
