"Black history is a secret weapon that can quickly bring people closer to each other, but it is also a dangerous double-edged sword. Most people reveal their true dark history to others, which will only have the opposite effect. But
If used well, it is a surefire technique for early stage mental manipulation."
Everyone looked at Nick. Not everyone wanted to mentally manipulate others, but no one wanted to be mentally manipulated. It would be good to raise some awareness of prevention after listening to this lesson.
"The key to forming your dominant position in others' hearts and making them unconsciously dependent is to make them accept you from the bottom of their hearts, but you can't just accept your strengths and strengths."
"Admiration is a natural human emotion. People prefer the advantages of others, and accepting shortcomings is just because they are willing to be tolerant because of their advantages."
"Usually, people are aware of each other's shortcomings. The shortcomings are either inconsistent with morality or inconsistent with their own character. In most cases, they are aware of it but can tolerate it."
"But the purpose of mental manipulation is not to make the other party accept their shortcomings, but to make the other party think that they have no shortcomings, so that they sincerely feel that they are advantages rather than shortcomings."
"To achieve this, the way you introduce the shortcomings becomes particularly important. If the other party is extremely disgusted with this shortcoming for the first time, the subsequent cognitive reversal will not go smoothly."
"I said before that disguising advantages as disadvantages is a way, but it is not very clever, especially when facing smart people, they can easily judge that you are actually pretending to have a shortcoming just to boast."
"To deal with such people, you can only use real shortcomings, and they must be shocking enough, even ones that they cannot accept at all. This means that once they accept it, they will never be able to escape the trap."
"So Schiller said he was a serial killer?" Eddie asked thoughtfully: "This is obviously a shortcoming that Tony or any normal person cannot accept."
"Yes, but the way he told it was quite skillful." Nick raised the corner of his mouth and continued: "He connected this unacceptable shortcoming with the dark history."
"To sum it up in the most concise terms, although I am a serial killer, there is a reason for it. Although I am a bad person in the traditional sense, there are people worse than me. Although I kill without batting an eye, I still have pitiable qualities.
"
"Finding reasons for one's own evil can be a discipline, especially among those shrewd psychopaths. Even if they are the kind of little bastards who will take pleasure in strangling sparrows when they are born, they will
Telling someone everything because they want to be manipulative is because they have been abused and discriminated against.”
"Let's assume." Nick stretched out a hand and spread his fingers in front of him and said: "What Schiller said about his past is true. So do you think this experience shaped him?"
"It's not impossible." Stark spread his hands and said: "If the human experiment part is also true, then why can't it be said that the abuse caused his temperament to change drastically?"
"So I said, Tony, he is cheating people like you." Nick pointed a finger at Tony, looked at him from above his eyes and said: "Never pay you $300 million a quarter again.
You deserve to be aggrieved by the psychological consultation fees."
"No one shaped Schiller, he shaped himself." Nick spread his hands and said: "His powerful talent allowed him to escape most tragedies. He had a choice, but he didn't choose."
"The environment does have a certain impact on a person's personality, and long-term abuse is very likely to reshape a person's personality. Psychopaths may indeed have a tragic first half of their lives, but this does not change their choices.
Instead of taking the right path under the circumstances, he chose to be a perpetrator."
"And the way they select their targets is to use the sympathy of others to select those who can resonate with them, who can understand them, and who take the initiative to excuse them."
Nick pointed his finger at the people present and said: "Just like you, superheroes, your broad sympathy is an excellent breeding ground for all mental sadists to wake up from their dreams with laughter."
"This world is so crazy." Stark said, "So either you are a victim or you are a perpetrator. Is there no other choice?"
"The only thing you can do is to run away without looking back after discovering that the other person may be a psychopath."
"It's a pity..." Nick sighed softly and said: "Tony in this universe ran away too late. He reflected on what happened to this country as soon as he heard about the tragedy of Schiller's life. From this moment on, he can't run away.
.”
"Speaking of which, Eric seems to want to reveal his dark history, right?" Natasha recalled: "He mentioned Wakanda in the escape car. This must be a past that he cannot bear to look back on."
"Like I said, he asked Tony to pour his strong emotions into Pepper, so how can he ask Tony to have extra sympathy to listen to his story?"
T'Challa, who finally came out from behind the bar, sat across from Eddie, put a glass of wine in front of him, took a sip of the non-alcoholic drink and said, "In my impression, Eric is a somewhat contradictory person.
Man, he is quite ambitious, but he always cannot let go of his dignity.”
"He wants other people to circle around him and respond to him in the way he envisions them reacting, and if they don't do that, he feels resentful."
"It's the same this time." Nick snapped his fingers and said, "Eric obviously hopes that Tony will take the initiative to ask about his life experience, express concern for him, and help him solve his troubles at all costs."
"He felt that since he took the risk to save Tony, everything Tony should do was the right thing to do, so he relaxed his vigilance and felt that he had the absolute dominant advantage in the relationship. He was relaxed and did not pay attention to details, which ultimately led to
It will cause him great trouble."
In the Stark Group's office, Obadiah looked at Eric who had just turned to leave with a gloomy face. He picked up the phone receiver and said to Pepper: "Fire the security director. We are going to parachute a new director."
Pepper's angry roar came from the other end of the phone, but Obadiah said calmly and even indifferently: "I know that he is a ten-year-old employee, but he is Tony's savior, how can he not be worthy of being a supervisor?"
Where’s the position?”
"Tell those stupid young men in the security department that they'd better treat him with respect. His backer is our most talented scientist, Tony Stark."
On the other side, Pepper hung up the phone angrily. She was angry and worried at the same time. She didn't understand why the two of them got back together after Obadiah went to see Tony that time.
After thinking for a while in the office, she decided to ask Stark, but at this time a security guard wearing a security uniform hurried in from the door. He shouted to Pepper: "Miss Pepper,
There was a serious altercation in the security director's office, and it seemed that an unknown person broke in."
Pepper covered her forehead with a headache. She was delayed for a while and did not notify the security department that there was a new person. Eric actually caused trouble in the supervisor's office.
Pepper hurried to deal with the trouble without having time to ask Stark for his opinion. She was full of doubts about Obadiah and was very dissatisfied with his arrangements.
She even suspected that Eric might be Obadiah's man. Obadiah wanted to use this method to slowly erode Tony's power, but Tony himself had no objection to this, and Pepper couldn't make his own decisions.
But Pepper is not someone to be trifled with. She has worked at Stark Group for so many years and has a thorough understanding of the entire company's personnel system.
Unwilling to replace the old director of the security department, Pepper directly assigned Eric to the supervision department with a wave of his hand.
The supervision department is also called the supervision department. Basically every large company will have such a department. Its main job is to supervise the personnel of each department to act in accordance with the regulations. It is also responsible for resolving internal conflicts within the company.
It sounds like it has a lot of power, but in fact no one is willing to do it. As we all know, it is impossible for any large company to completely follow the rules and regulations. In that case, the company will not be able to operate at all. The larger the company, the more people will lend a hand. As long as the company
The overall situation is improving, but most powerful leaders are turning a blind eye.
But this does not prevent those who do it from feeling guilty and getting annoyed when they see people in the supervision department. This department is the most marginalized within the company.
The boss of the Supervision Department must be courteous and flattering in all directions, so that when regulating factional struggles, everyone can give him face, and major issues can be reduced to trivial ones, so that life can go on smoothly.
Therefore, anyone who is parachuted into such a position cannot do it at all, let alone mediate the internal struggles of the company. He can't even figure out the differences between the strong and weak factions and the entanglements of interests. He doesn't even know if he has offended someone.
Just get out.
About three days later, Stark completed the prototype of the first-generation armor in his laboratory. In order to distinguish it from the unmanned robots he had made before, he did not give his armor a name, but called it Mark 2.
.
Just as he was finishing the work on the armor, Pepper dragged him out of the laboratory in a panic, and what awaited Stark was a shareholder meeting room full of curses.
Originally, Stark was already a little dizzy after staying up for two nights. After he entered, he listened for more than ten minutes before he understood. It turned out that the original copy of the company's important business agreement was missing. Several departments were pushing me and I was pushing you. Who was it?
I don't even look for it, no one can find it.
The day for the project to be launched was approaching, but the legal documents were gone. Seeing that it would affect a series of subsequent business arrangements, the investors and directors related to this were all anxious. Obadiah pressed the gourd and started the ladle. There was nothing he could do.
The only option was to call Stark.
Stark was simply impatient to deal with these matters and wanted to send all these directors away. However, after careful questioning, he found out that the reason was that there was a conflict between the Supervision Department and the Security Department. Both parties stopped working, so that the documents were
Haven't found it yet.
After further questioning, it turned out that the Security Department approached the head of the Supervision Department and asked for the reporting documents. The two parties got into an argument for some reason. Eric got angry and beat up the head of the Security Department. He is still in the hospital.
He was lying there, the whole department was in a state of confusion, and it was useless for anyone to urge him.
Pepper called the people who were fighting between the security department and the supervisory department in front of Stark and scolded them. Obadiah helped to appease the shareholders. The group of people kept making trouble all day long until the evening.
Tucker was then put back.
But things have to be solved, and Stark is also the kind of person who speaks his mind. He called Eric to his office, and Eric complained to him for more than half an hour about how the head of the security department was arrogant and unreasonable.
Yes, Stark's head was pounding after hearing this.
But he still tried his best to comfort him: "Don't worry, you will inevitably be a little unfamiliar with the new position. The security and supervision departments have many and complicated tasks, so they may not be suitable for you."
"Obadiah told me before that we have launched resource cooperation with some African countries. It would be better for you to join this project. The personnel relationship will not be so complicated and it will help you adapt to the environment."
