Agreed.
An Aquisition for the Ages
Executive Director Sinton stood in front of the assembled Court and members of the press and populance, his employees. He was brimming with excitement, feeling like a young boy again. The session was called to order by the Chairman, and the room silenced. They all watched as John Sinton walked up to the podium. He cleared his throat and started.
"Shareholders, Employees, Members of the Company. We have done it. The South Sea Company is open for buisness. We have recently made two deals of titanic proportions. The first of which is a deal inked and agreed to with the Venerable Nation of Japan. A huge potential market, we have expanded into it. As production and industry gear up this quarter, this literally Large and Richer Empire is ripe to export our fine goods to, and the proximity of its untapped natural resources should also field and abundance of raw imports for processing. Prime Minister Tanaka Masayoshi is a graceious man, having entertained he at his residency in Kee-yo-toe. I even met with the Emperor himself, though only briefly. This will be a consistent source of income for us, raising wages and creating more jobs for the Inter-Conglomerates to take over.
From there i made the long trek to Lyons for the Imperial Funeral. It was a sad spectacul for all, but also an enlightenment. I mourned and wept with the imperial family. To take the words from the Great Valerien and apply them here, we must see we now live in
A world of terror and darkness littered with a few glimpses of hope, hope such as our This Company. We must remember, however, that this is not simply an attack on The Emperor of a far away country and on the Imperial family, and not another egalitist action against the "bourgeoisie". This, unfortunately, is an attack upon all of us, a declaration of war against every single citizen of this World. The Company, the Directorite - what are these but symbols of the greatness of the people? From such a sad day i have come to a realization. Egalitism is our nemsis, our foe in the darkness. They are upon us like a plague from Satan. They have no honor, no law, no dignity. The follow no code, have no organization, no tranparency. They add nothing to this world but death and certainly would love to destroy the dear Company. So Gentleman, I declare war on Egalitism, the scourge of humanity. The company declares war on Egalitism. Be wary of the Egalitists at all times, and report suspects to your Supervisors or Managers. For this War on Egalitism is WOE, and WOE shall we bring to them.
But an even happier hapenstance came from this meeting of the titans of the Free Market World. For once pleaseantries were dispensed, wine drunk, cheese and women had *audience chuckles*, the Emperor and I dicussed buisness. As you know, even before our seperation, our schism from the British Empire, we desired the Australis and New Corsican territories of the HRE. The Crown, as always, ignored our plea's, but we pressed on. And now i announce to you the aquisition of these properties for the Company, expanding us twicefold. The sum of 6,000,000 Francs shall be transfered to the Holy Roman Empire of France. This is a virtual steal, as the territory shall pay off the investment in under 1 years time. I have already begun raising the venture capital. The Company is on the Rise my people. Long Live the Company.
We must ensure the prosperity of the Company. The energy, the faith, the devotion which we bring to this endeavor will light our country and all who serve itand the glow from that fire can truly light the world. And so, my fellow Employees: ask not what the Company can do for youask what you can do for the Company. My fellow people of the world: ask not what America will do for you, but what together we can do for the profit of Man, and the Defeat of Egalitism."
