There is a residential area in the western suburbs of Kyoto. It is far away from the hustle and bustle of the city and has an elegant environment. Some people joke that eight out of ten people living here are billionaires, and two are tens of billions. Rich man.
Although it is an exaggeration, this is a truly wealthy area, and the villas are particularly conspicuous in Kyoto, where land resources are extremely tight.
Shen Xiaotian sat in the study room of one of the villas glumly and sighed. During the company's board of directors meeting during the day, he was severely scolded by the old man in front of so many people, which made him feel very aggrieved.
Now that he's starting a company, who doesn't want to make money? Besides, he doesn't feel like he's neglecting business.
Just when Shen Xiaotian was feeling depressed, the door to the study room was gently pushed open, and a sweet-looking girl tilted her head and asked, "Dad, can I come in?"
"Nini?"
When Shen Xiaotian saw his daughter, his gloomy face finally revealed a smile, "Didn't you go to piano lessons today? Why are you back so early?"
"Teacher is busy today and only has one class." The girl named Nini walked in with a smile, "I heard auntie said you were here, so I came right over. Why, are you being scolded by grandpa?"
This girl will pick up whichever pot is not open. Shen Xiaotian smiled awkwardly, waved to his daughter, and motioned for her to sit next to him, "Nini, it's your birthday soon, what do you want? Gift? "
The girl pouted, looking unhappy, "I don't want anything."
"Why?" Shen Xiaotian was stunned for a moment and looked at his precious daughter strangely.
"Huh, it's like this every year. The whole room is almost filled with gifts. It's not interesting at all."
Growing up, Nini was like a princess, loved by thousands of people. Her material life was extremely rich, and there was almost nothing she couldn't get. However, she always felt that something was missing.
How should I put it, it feels like the only thing left for the poor is money!
Seeing his daughter's unhappy look, Shen Xiaotian patted her head dotingly, "So tell me, how do you want to spend your birthday this year? Invite your friends and classmates to your house and have a party?"
Nini shook her head, with quite a bit of disdain in her words, "They are so boring. In addition to competing with whose clothes are more beautiful, I am competing with whose boyfriend is more handsome. I am not that vulgar."
Shen Xiaotian was amused by his daughter's words. He grinned and said, "Oh, I remember you used to talk about wanting beautiful clothes every day. Has Nini grown up?"
Nini rolled her eyes, took Shen Xiaotian's arm and said coquettishly, "Daddy, would you like me to go out and play on my birthday this year?"
"Haha, why don't you go out to play someday?"
Every time I go out, there are two bodyguards following me. I feel uncomfortable wherever I go. Besides, being in this city all the time is really frustrating. Nini shook Shen Xiaotian's arm and continued to act coquettishly, "Daddy, I want to Is it okay to go somewhere else to have fun alone?"
The smile on Shen Xiaotian's face disappeared, and he shook his head slightly, "That's not possible. You are a child, what if you encounter danger when you go out?"
"In a few days I will be twenty-one and no longer a child."
"Unmarried, you will always be a child." On this issue, Shen Xiaotian just refused to let go, leaving no room for negotiation.
Nini looked at him with disappointment, a trace of mist appeared in her eyes, and she seemed ready to cry at any time, "Bad dad, you don't love me at all, huh, you deserve to be taught a lesson by grandpa, I hate you!"
After saying that, she stood up and rushed out without looking back.
This child was spoiled rotten, and she liked to act like a princess if she didn't like it. Shen Xiaotian sighed and was about to let his aunt take a look at her, when the door to the study room was pushed open again, "Ni Ni, if I say no, I just can’t, you..."
Shen Xiaotian thought that his daughter had come back and was going to mess with him. Unexpectedly, the person who came in was not Nini, but his father, the president of Glorious Mission Group, an old man who kept his word and could not be doubted by anyone.
"Dad!" Shen Xiaotian stood up and shouted politely.
The old man nodded, tremblingly walked to the sofa with a cane and sat down. He didn't look as dry as in the conference room at all. He took a breath and said, "What's wrong with Nini?"
"It's nothing. She wanted to go out to play alone, but I didn't agree."
The old man nodded and did not continue to ask this question. He took out a black miniature instrument from his pocket, pressed it gently, and then said, "Xiaotian, to be honest, did you blame me today?" ?”
The micro instrument is an interference device that can shield all electromagnetic instruments within a ten-meter range. His father must have done this because he was afraid of someone eavesdropping. Shen Xiaotian stood there without saying a word and slowly lowered his head.
"I know you blame me for not giving you face in front of so many directors and senior executives, and even taking away your position as general manager. This is human nature, but do you know why I did this?"
Shen Xiaotian continued to remain silent without any expression.
"We should have put all our resources and all our technical strength into finding potential superpowers, but you have been a little clever and made profits for our family."
The old man sighed and struck hard on the ground with his cane, "If we were just an ordinary company, it would be nothing. On the contrary, I would be very happy for you to do this. However, the company belongs to our Shen family and more importantly to the country. You Do you know that some of your actions have caused dissatisfaction among the big bosses above?"
Shen Xiaotian raised his head, with some doubts in his eyes.
"You once complained to me, saying that there are several directors in the company who neither understand business nor have skills, so why do they occupy the most important positions?" The old man coughed twice, and his cloudy eyes gradually became brighter, "Xiao God, there is no denying your talent in business, but what you lack is a sense of politics. I can tell you now that those directors were sent by the big guys above!"
"Ah?" Shen Xiaotian opened his mouth in surprise. He had never known that such a thing existed.
"You have to remember that our current wealth and status in the Shen family are not due to our talent for business or our family's strong financial background, but because they think we are valuable to use."
The old man stood up with difficulty and walked slowly to Shen Xiaotian, "If one day they feel that we have lost this value or even become a stumbling block to them, they will kick us away without hesitation. !”
The huge wealth owned by Glorious Mission seems to belong to the Shen family, but in fact it is firmly controlled by a few people who stand at the pinnacle of power. In this case, what is the difference between making more money and less money?
Shen Xiaotian was stunned. He never knew that such a thing existed in the company. He always thought that his father was a patriotic businessman, so he often talked about the country. Unexpectedly, he had to do it as a last resort. Of.
"Father, I understand."
The old man patted Shen Xiaotian on the shoulder, "I am reprimanding you today. Removing your position as general manager is also to reassure them and let them know that our Shen family never has any inappropriate ideas. Xiaotian, go to the technical department. Give full play to your expertise and plan the company's third anniversary event more perfectly."
Shen Xiaotian nodded thoughtfully, "Father, are we going to be other people's pawns all our lives?"
"This game of chess has just been completed!" The old man's eyes flashed, and his face had a rosy luster. He looked like he was ten years younger. "Xiaotian, according to their requirements, speed up the progress and select the characters in the game. Among the two hundred players who are most suitable for the plan, use some means to eliminate the ten best players among them, and select about a hundred players from the remaining players and give them to them."
Shen Xiaotian was stunned, and then understood what his father meant.
After the ten best people are eliminated, they can be put back into use quietly. Although this is a bit dangerous, as long as it is done properly and avoids detection by the main system, it is not a big problem.
The only problem is that ten people seems a bit small.
…………
At this moment, a silver Bugatti SX330 Flying Dragon was speeding on the ring highway outside Kyoto City. This world's top sports car was speeding south at a speed of 600 kilometers per hour.
The speedometer on the highway quickly discovered this luxury car that was speeding 300% over the speed limit. The piercing siren sounded in the control room. A staff member stared at the screen closely, "Damn, this is too fast. , little guy, I can’t stop you if you don’t believe me.”
A middle-aged man next to him looked at the screen and pressed the staff member's hand as he prepared to contact the highway patrol, "What are you doing?"
The staff member looked at the middle-aged man in confusion, "Team leader, this car is seriously speeding. I am about to notify the highway patrol to intercept it."
The team leader rolled his eyes at him, "Did you see the license plate?"
"Uh, Jing e888888, hiss, there are so many 8's!" The staff member took a deep breath and wondered how much it would cost to buy this license plate.
"Then are you still going to notify the patrol?"
The staff member was confused, with a confused look in his eyes, "Can't we notify you if it's over 8?"
The team leader looked defeated and let out a long sigh, "Idiot, you don't know the license plate, but you always know this car? There are only 88 limited edition Bugatti SX330 Flying Dragons in the world, and the price of each car is 40 million. Huaxia Coin, the only one in the country!"
"Really? This is too expensive. My lifetime salary combined is probably only enough to buy one tire." The staff member seemed to be missing something in his head. At this time, he was still lamenting how expensive the Bugatti SX330 Flying Dragon was.
"Damn, you are hopeless. I made it clear that this car belongs to the eldest daughter of the Shen family. If you want to be reprimanded by the superiors, you can notify the highway patrol to stop her now. Of course, the premise is that the patrol Jing is as stupid as you."
The staff member was stunned and finally reacted, "Miss Shen family? I'm a motherfucker. Team leader, thank you for reminding me."
Stopping a car like this is simply asking for death. The worst you can do is find someone to take the blame, and you can settle it for just two bucks, but the consequences will be extremely serious, and your job may be ruined.
The team leader patted him on the back and said with a smile, "I'm not trying to hit you. If you work here all your life, buying the tires for this car is just a luxury!"
