Chapter 263 Super Paradise, Built for Heroes (6/10)
A look of surprise suddenly appeared in Steve's eyes, but he opened his mouth but couldn't make any sound.
"The principle we should believe in is that the more we work, the more we get, the less we work, the less we get, and the less we work, the less we get. Since we have obviously done so much, why can't we get commensurate rewards? Why must someone suffer?
A hero? Why do heroes have to suffer? In the long run, will anyone be willing to be a hero and protect the world?
Will there come a time when a capable person would rather stand by and watch rather than take action, because his situation does not allow for more trouble? If it is because of you alone that you do not ask for anything in return, but others are too embarrassed to ask for anything in return, then in the end it will just be
The number of people who were supposed to take action was getting smaller and smaller, until in the end no one was willing to show up.
By doing this, you are giving a very bad start to those who come after you!"
After a series of questions, Steve was completely speechless.
In fact, this is a very simple truth, and Hong Fei already understood it when he was young.
There is a story in "Lu's Spring and Autumn Annals Xian Shi Lan Cha Wei Pian" called "Zigong redeems people".
There is a law in the State of Lu: If people of the State of Lu see compatriots in foreign countries who have unfortunately become slaves, they can obtain compensation and rewards from the state as long as they can redeem these people from the State of Lu and help them regain their freedom.
Zigong, a student of Confucius, redeemed the people of Lu from other countries, but refused the country's compensation and rewards.
Zigong, named Duanmu Ci, was one of the ten philosophers of Confucius and the originator of Confucian businessmen. He was a good businessman and had a lot of money, so he didn't care about mere compensation and rewards.
However, Confucius criticized his approach after learning about it.
If you take the gold, you will not be harmed by the deed; if you do not take the gold, you will not be able to redeem the person.
This means that if you receive the compensation reward from the country, it will not damage your character, but after you refuse, no one in the State of Lu will redeem your compatriots who died.
Why?
Because not everyone has a rich net worth, Zilu refused the compensation and rewards. Later, most people were naturally embarrassed to accept them, but they couldn't afford the loss if they didn't accept them, so they had no choice but to spend no money to redeem people in the first place.
Similar to this story, there is also "Zilu receiving an ox", which tells that Zilu rescued a drowning man, and the man gave him a cow as a thank you. Zilu accepted it, and Confucius said happily: "The people of Lu must save lives."
That’s it.”
Summary: See things carefully and observe things far away.
Hong Fei moved the two stories away, crushed them up, and told Steve again.
Finally, Hong Fei gave his own summary and opinions.
"Superheroes, to put it bluntly, are not a job at all. Although you have been gathered together by the Avengers, before that, there were still people who purely used love to generate electricity. Matt is a typical example. You all have different origins. Some of you are from different backgrounds.
Those who are strengthened, those who are assisted by external objects, and those who are passively mutated. These people will appear in the future. With the former as a reference, the latter will have their own successors. This is a person who does not actually exist but has the dream of a hero.
Common default rules.
Now that you have formed the Avengers, you are setting a benchmark. Those who come after you are naturally proud to join the Avengers and become Avengers, but this is not enough. Because not everyone can generate electricity with love or is as good as Tony.
Money. You can't support yourself or your whole family with love. Those who don't have money may not care whether they are an Avenger or not.
Suppose someone suddenly mutates and has extraordinary power. He wanted to be a good person and seek justice, but found that justice could not save him. When he was forced to the extreme situation and had no choice, what do you think he would do? "
Steve understood, and a look of surprise appeared in his eyes.
"The current distribution method of SHIELD is too old-fashioned and unreasonable. I don't agree with such distribution principles and methods. But I can't change SHIELD. Fortunately, I have my own way.
I know that you all have noble personal qualities and can ask for nothing in return, but if you can be self-sufficient, who would be willing to reach out and take it?
What I want to do is to free every superhero from financial and material worries, so that they can devote themselves wholeheartedly to the great cause of punishing evil and promoting good to save the world. And this distribution model is not simply giving money.
That’s it. The more they do and the more they pay, the higher their popularity will naturally be, and the profits they can earn will also increase. Again, I think there will be room for improvement in this allocation method in the future.
By then, if each superhero has enough funds, it will not only meet their daily needs, but also further enable them to save more people in need.
Moreover, the paradise project is not simply about luring them. They will see how ordinary people like them and can clearly understand how much people welcome and need them. This is done based on emotion. In the future, some reasons will be added.
Akatsuki, from now on, no matter how many superheroes or super villains are born, you don’t have to worry anymore.
Therefore, this park plan is not only an amusement park open to ordinary people, but also a park built for superheroes."
After listening to Hong Fei's words, Steve couldn't come back to his senses for a long time. He seemed to have been trapped in the blueprint for a better future described by Hong Fei.
Master Hong took a sip of tea silently, and at the same time secretly praised himself.
This rhetoric was almost perfect, but in fact it was not as detailed as he imagined before he came. It was completely built up quickly and step by step under Steve's thirsty eyes.
Come to think of it, Master Hong has not only improved his strength in recent years, but he has also made breakthroughs in terms of IQ, emotional intelligence, eloquence, etc.
"I understand!" Steve's eyes brightened, and the condensed light seemed to be about to turn into reality. He said excitedly: "You are right, not everyone is alone like me, and not everyone can rely on me.
This job to support the family is not even a real job. We cannot selfishly break the rules, because the rules you are building are universal and can help many people from poor families.
Superheroes, prompting them to stand firmly in the camp of justice.
If I feel that this money is too much, I can use it privately to do some charity instead of rejecting it from the source. This is obviously achieving my so-called nobility at the expense of breaking the rules!"
Hong Fei immediately applauded him.
With this kind of consciousness, what kind of Captain America do you want to be, what kind of Stars and Stripes uniform do you wear? Come on, come on, I have a brand new uniform that represents the interests of the broad masses of the people. Do you want to try it?
"You are right, this is a new era, and there should be new rules to replace the old and outdated provisions of the past."
Steve nodded heavily, thought for a while and then said: "In that case, why don't I make a suggestion to SHIELD when I go back and ask them to consider increasing the Avengers' wages?"
Hong Fei pressed his hand: "It's not necessary, it can even be said that it is absolutely not possible."
"Why?"
"Because S.H.I.E.L.D.'s money comes from the World Security Council, and the Council's allocations come from various countries, this money can generally be regarded as the money of people all over the world."
"Isn't this bad? Money from people all over the world will be used to protect them."
"It's not bad, but it's easy to follow the truth, and it may even become a point of attack for everyone in the future. Because many of the things you do are difficult to quantify, so how to determine your salary level? After all, it is
With money coming from all over the world, everyone can take it for granted that they have to supervise, advise and even criticize. Having more people doesn’t necessarily make things easier!”
"Yes, there can't be too many people making decisions, otherwise it will just be chaos."
"That's the truth. Instead of asking for money, it's better to create it yourself. This is the case with the paradise project. Everyone can put the profits in their pockets with peace of mind because it is a reasonable and legal business."
Steve looked up into Hong Fei's eyes and said with emotion: "You think carefully enough!"
"I just spent a little more time."
This is the end of the discussion about Super Park. Steve Rogers fully accepted and agreed with Master Hong's perfect ideas and perfect logic and firmly defended the principles that must be implemented.
After sitting for a long time, the two got up and walked outside the house, walking slowly on the green lawn.
"The air here is really good."
"It's just so so, there are just a lot of trees around."
"I also want to find a quiet place like here to hide in seclusion."
"That's easy. You'll have money right away and take the time to pick something out, or you can just buy the land and build it yourself."
"Hey, you're right, it should be more fun to build your own house, let's do it!" Steve smiled and asked: "When are you going to negotiate contracts with other people?"
"Tomorrow, I remember the first exchange should be expiring soon?"
"Yes, I also asked Tony if he could replace me."
"Haha, then you may not be able to look at me after you go there."
Hearing this, Steve was stunned for a moment, then looked at Hong Fei's smile and suddenly understood, he couldn't help but said overjoyed: "What do you mean?"
Hong Fei nodded: "The park plan is very important, and the people on my side are easy to talk to, but on the Avengers side, I'm worried that someone might cause trouble, so I want to come over and take a look in person."
"That's great! You know, I have thought about exchanging you before, but at that time it was not for the paradise, but because I wanted you to help blend the Avengers into a real team."
"This... I'm afraid I can't do it."
"No, you can!" Steve said seriously: "Your ability to build a team can be seen from your team. I completely believe in you!"
Hong Fei blinked.
All I know is that if anyone is not convinced, I will fuck him until he is convinced, and if he is still not convinced, I will beat him to death.
If this can be considered the ability to build a team, then I am indeed pretty good.
