Chapter 95: Raymond’s Unimaginable Reputation!
“Let’s go, the ceremony is about to begin!”
General Eric smiled and took the lead to walk forward.
This opening ceremony would be held at the entrance of the research inst.i.tute!
Looking from the front, the entire research inst.i.tute was filled with tall buildings and dense trees.
The tall front door was like two tall mountains, and a huge signboard was erected at the side.
At this moment, the signboard was covered with a red cloth.
Raymond, General Eric, and a high-ranking official of the White House were the people responsible for cutting the ribbon at the inst.i.tute today.
At 10 am, the ceremony began on time!
First, the national anthem and the military anthem were played!
Everyone watched solemnly as a star-spangled banner slowly rose, the solemn national anthem was played, and everyone sang along softly.
At the same time, a white-headed eagle painted with a globe and holding a piece of satin slowly rose. Beneath it, the American military flag that said “Forever Loyal” was slowly raised!
After the national anthem ended, it was the American military anthem!
Raymond raised his head slightly and looked at the two flags that symbolized the country and honor of the United States. A sense of pride rose in him!
After the solemn national anthem was played, Raymond, General Eric, and the White House officials walked to the front of the huge signboard!
Because the opening ceremony of the Raymond Research Inst.i.tute was not publicized on a large scale, the media did not come much.
The people invited to watch the ceremony were mostly people from various big families and various official organizations.
Under the witness of these people, Raymond, as the founder of the inst.i.tute, was the first to pick up the scissors.
Then, the three of them cut the red ribbon at the same time!
Behind them, a staff member tore off the red cloth at the same time!
A huge signboard appeared!
On it, a few people from the ‘Raymond Research Inst.i.tute’ were plated with gold, looking grand and beautiful!
Raymond’s heart was filled with excitement!
From now on, this research inst.i.tute would realize all of his ideas!
“General Raymond!”
“Congratulations, congratulations!”
“Wow!”
Cheers and applause came from the front. Although the people present were all people of status, there was no lack of young people among them!
Almost all of these young people were Raymond’s fans!
It was a very happy thing for them to be able to witness the opening of their idol’s research inst.i.tute!
Raymond smiled and nodded. Then, he walked onto a temporary high platform.
Looking at the countless gray-haired elders below the platform, Raymond was excited.
These were all authoritative experts and professors from various fields.
From today onwards, they were the staff of Raymond Research Inst.i.tute and also his a.s.sistants!
Raymond cleared his throat and spoke the opening words of his speech.
“Everyone, welcome to the future!”
…
Raymond’s speech was actually being broadcasted live.
However, there weren’t many people who were qualified to watch the live broadcast. Most of them were high-ranking officials in various fields.
At this moment, on the top floor of the Pentagon, in an ordinary office, more than ten white-haired elders were watching Raymond’s speech live broadcast.
These elders all had n.o.ble statuses.
The one with the highest status was the Secretary of Defense of the United States, Dempsey!
When Raymond said “Welcome to the future,” the office was silent for a few seconds before a sneer was heard.
When the crowd heard the sound, they looked over. It was a thin and frail old man who didn’t even have a few strands of hair.
An old man of the same age who was sitting a few seats away from him snorted coldly and spoke.
“Lawrence, what’s wrong? Are you sick?”
Lawrence’s face froze, and a burst of light laughter came from the crowd, which made his face turn red!
He immediately became angry and slammed the table hard!
“Pierre, who are you talking to?”
The one called Pierre was naturally the old man who had just mocked him.
Pierre snorted lightly.
“So what if I’m talking to you? What’s wrong with what he said? Why are you laughing? If it’s not an illness, then what is it?”
A series of questions directly made Lawrence’s blood pressure rise!
He gritted his teeth and said loudly, “This kid is too arrogant. I don’t like it. What do you think?”
“He has the right to be arrogant! If you have the ability, why don’t you break through the ‘red and ultraviolet insulation technology’ by yourself? Trash!”
Pierre retorted mercilessly!
Moreover, after thinking for a moment, Pierre spoke again.
“Judging from your rank, a Lieutenant General like you might have to salute him in a few months. If you still don’t like it, are you worthy?”
Lawrence felt the blood vessels on his forehead throbbing!
This Pierre was his old enemy!
The two of them had known each other since they were young, and they had always been at loggerheads!
Although they would not resort to any petty tricks or underhanded tricks, but almost every time, he would make him so angry that he was half dead!
Pierre’s habit was that as long as Lawrence felt good, he would suppress them all!
If Lawrence felt bad, then he would support them and it would be over!
Anyway, it was not a day or two since the two of them hated each other. Everyone present was almost used to this kind of thing!
Seeing that the two of them were getting more and more violent, and even seemed to be on the verge of fighting!
Dempsey finally couldn’t hold it in anymore!
Bang!
Dempsey slammed the table hard!
“What are you doing?! Are you rebelling?”
“Do the two of you still hold me, the Defense Minister, in any regard?”
Seeing that the Minister was showing his might, the two of them instantly fell silent.
If it wasn’t for Dempsey suppressing them, the two of them would probably have already started fighting. It wasn’t like it hadn’t happened before!
Dempsey snorted coldly and said unhappily, “He’s a young man, so what if he’s young and arrogant? There’s nothing wrong with saying that you came to the future!”
“Pierre, there’s something wrong with your words too. That Raymond is a monster. You said you wanted Lawrence to break through the red and ultraviolet insulation technology, so why didn’t you break through?”
Pierre muttered, “I can’t do it, I won’t go on… I won’t talk nonsense either!”
Dempsey’s expression froze, and he glared at Pierre.
After thinking about it, he suddenly felt that what this guy said made sense!
For a moment, he was a little dissatisfied with Lawrence!
You said that you could just watch the live broadcast, but you had to laugh. What else could it be if you didn’t have a problem with your brain?
Thus, he glared at Lawrence!
This time, both of them became obedient!
After all, this was the Secretary of the Department of Defense, and all the people present were soldiers!
If they dared to argue, Dempsey might roll up his sleeves and beat them up. He really dared to beat up these two people.
In the live broadcast, after Raymond finished speaking, the applause became continuous. This was the most basic etiquette.
But it also showed how high Raymond’s reputation was now!
Those families and forces almost all had a vague idea of Raymond’s contributions.
At the very least, they also knew that Raymond had received the Major General rank and the National Medal of honor at such a young age. His future achievements would definitely be limitless!
Therefore, everyone present gave him face and directly clapped for two minutes!
It was after Dempsey scolded Lawrence and Pierre that Raymond’s voice came out again!
