>>>>>[More corporate news for you folks. Use it or don't, it's not our
fault if you get yourself geeked for not having the facts.

Anyway. Anybody else remember Wuxing around here? Second Tier corporation
that nobody had ever heard of before they made out like a bandit in the Big
D's will (and that's Dunkelzahn you egomaniacal troll, not Big Daddy).

Been making all sorts of moves in the last year. Made their biggest yet
just a day or two ago. Announced something called the "Pacific Prosperity
Group." A consortium of independent corporations from around the PacRim,
but mostly Chinese and Korean corporations. Apparently Fed-Boeing and a
few UCAS corps want to join, but haven't been allowed in yet.

Biggest memeber? Apparently Yamatetsu is feeling the need for outside help
after getting booted quite nastily out of Japan. Having a mega as a member
instantly gives this PPG a heapload of credibility.

Could Wuxing, with these sort of allies, be able to force it's way onto the
Corporate Court and make it the Big Nine? Not likely, but instead of
making enemies, these guys are working hard to make friends. And that just
might work if they are able to keep up their string of incredible luck.

That's it for MEGAWatch for now; you can go back to your normal bickering,
bantering and job hunting.]<<<<<
