44 Chapter 44: Oak Tree Environmental Technology Company
Under Coulson's arrangements, Tony drove alone ahead, while Oaks and Yinsen arrived at the Benevolence Society headquarters.
"What an amazing place..."
Dr. Yinsen had changed out of his patient gown and was now dressed in a casual suit with the emblem of the Benevolence Society pinned on his chest.
Yes, as the most well-known environmental organization in New York, the emblem of the Benevolence Society was personally designed by Oaks.
It depicted Goose holding an acorn, surrounded by a green mistletoe ring symbolizing Druids and nature.
And Goose had completely embraced its true self. Its residence now was the treehouse in the Benevolence Society headquarters, along with the entire Little Rainforest.
Furthermore, there were also many rescued pets living in the Little Rainforest. Goose had even successfully become the king of cats and dogs, with Coco and Moco as its loyal subjects...
It was practically the emperor of them all. Additionally, it also took on the part-time management of other small animals besides cats and dogs.
Like Mr. Hamster, who was one of the first to be brought in.
The Benevolence Society now had abundant resources, and the rescued pets, under the guidance of the three "Overlords," had learned to follow the rules and behave politely. They were allowed to roam freely, and during mealtime, there was a dedicated pet restaurant for them.
The pets could be adopted or remotely adopted—this was Oaks' ingenious operation.
For those who couldn't have pets due to environmental restrictions, lack of time, family objections, or inability to have pets in school, etc., they could adopt a selected pet from the Benevolence Society.
With the technical support of S.H.I.E.L.D., the pets were all tracked and monitored. Owners could connect to their images anytime they wanted to see them or come to the Benevolence Society headquarters for some quality time.
They only needed to pay a minimal meal fee for the pets to enjoy this service continuously until conditions allowed them to take the pets home or... their interest waned.
However, there were quite a few people who expressed envy, wanting to bring the pets back to their homes and live here themselves.
"So, for these smart people, I flatly refuse—it's a treatment not even the president can get."
Oaks was explaining the situation of the Benevolence Society to Dr. Yinsen, finally understanding how enviable it was to recuperate at the Benevolence Society headquarters.
"Many of your members... I suppose they joined because of the headquarters, right?"
Yinsen's expression was peculiar. He understood very well how beneficial this environment was for one's health, but were there really so many people passionate about public welfare?
The world changes too fast. I don't recognize it anymore after squatting in a cave for a few months.
"Yes, but our treatment is indeed quite good, considering we're not short of money for the time being."
Oaks finally said these lines of capitalist evil without changing his expression.
"We even received commendation from the mayor of New York. It was said that they originally wanted to award me the title of honorary citizen of New York, but after they learned that I'm of Celtic descent, they changed it to a collective honor for the Benevolence Society—"
"..."
Dr. Yinsen smirked. "So the world is still the way I remember it."
"Just focus on doing what you do best."
Oaks didn't care about those trivial matters. What he cared about was finally intercepting the excellent physicist Dr. Yinsen from Tony's hands. He had to do something.
So, seemingly casually, he asked, "Dr. Yinsen, what are your plans next?"
"Plans...?" Dr. Yinsen paused for a moment. It was apparent that he hadn't considered this question since waking up.
"My plans, my life, should have ended when I helped Tony escape from the cave. But now... I really don't know what to do."
He spread his hands and shook his head with a wry smile.
"I was captured because they valued my knowledge and multilingual abilities, but compared to Tony, I'm just an ordinary person... Now, I would only hold back Tony's progress."
"You're not ordinary, Dr. Yinsen."
Someone who caught the attention of the Ten Rings, attended the New Century Celebration in Bern, Switzerland, and most importantly, could keep up with Tony's thinking—how could such a person be an ordinary scientist?
Do you remember the Chinese doctor he introduced to the drunk Tony back in Bern? Dr. Wu?"
That person is the master surgeon who later removed the shrapnel from Tony's chest, and no one before him had the ability or dared to perform such a level of surgery!
Although Dr. Yinsen always self-deprecates his Bachelor of Medicine degree, his friendship with such a medical genius shows his own abilities!
"Since you don't have anything to do for the time being, I have an idea that I'd like you to consider and give me your opinion."
"Oh?"
Yinsen became curious.
From his perspective, the young Dr. Woods before him, although he hadn't heard of him due to their interdisciplinary fields, he understood the relationship between him and Tony Stark.
Someone who Tony, who considered himself "nothing," regarded as a friend couldn't be an ordinary person.
In Afghanistan, in the hospital, this person indirectly and directly demonstrated his powerful abilities that exceeded Yinsen's scientific understanding.
And the existence of the Benevolence Society, a philanthropic organization, was something Yinsen had never imagined.
He was a truly good person.
"Dr. Oaks, please go on, but my advice might be limited."
"Well, I want to establish a technology company."
Oaks organized his words before slowly saying:
"As you can see, the work the Benevolence Society is doing has real benefits for human society, and the most important support for that is my bio-technology."
Dr. Yinsen nodded. With his insight, he naturally recognized the vast potential of Oaks' bio-technology.
"But the Benevolence Society is ultimately a philanthropic organization. I don't want it to become a profit-driven technology company. Even if it only appears that way, it will greatly affect its future development."
Oaks' words made Yinsen nod slowly.
"That risk does exist. So what you mean is to separate research and development, profitability, and philanthropy, and use the name of the technology company to provide support for social welfare through the Benevolence Society?"
Oaks nodded. What Yinsen said was only a part of it. More importantly, with this approach, he could have his research results affiliated with the technology company and avoid interference from S.H.I.E.L.D.
After all, the Benevolence Society was now considered a subsidiary organization of S.H.I.E.L.D. It was fine to give some benefits on a regular basis, but if something special came up, it would be difficult for him if S.H.I.E.L.D. or HYDRA were to take something.
"It's indeed a good approach."
Yinsen understood part of Oaks' thinking. If they waited until the envious people jumped out, it would be too late.
'Doing philanthropy means giving everything you have.' There were many stupid people with a broken mindset like that.
"So, does the company have a name?"
"The 'Oak Tree Environmental Technology Company.' It focuses on environmental technology, including various scientific research in the fields of biology, chemistry, physics, atmosphere, oceanography, geology, and even agriculture. The Benevolence Society will be responsible for promoting it."
Oaks smiled and extended his right hand to Dr. Yinsen.
"Dr. Yinsen, would you like to join me in changing the world together?"
