Using the melodious hymns sung by the nuns as the background music, the prefrontal cortex softly explained to Russell the whole story of the "werewolf" incident:
"At the very beginning, the marketing director of Tianen Group's Sogo Island branch received a blackmail letter..."
Mr. Director, codenamed "Bubark", is a middle-aged man with a gray wolf as his spiritual relative.
As a branch executive, he was also sent from Happy Island. Unlike the fiercely competitive headquarters, the competition in the branch is much looser... After all, there is only one director Ling at the top of the branch who has absolute control. Although there is a so-called
"Executive Director", but that is essentially the same as an employed store manager and does not have any real power.
In other words, after he reaches this level, there will be no room for promotion. And as long as he doesn't make any big mistakes, he will definitely not be dismissed - after all, it is still quite troublesome to transfer people from the headquarters to take over the work.
——Can't go up, can't come down, can't go back.
It's stuck here.
So he gave up and completely stayed on Chongguang Island, where he settled down to start a family and start a business.
Mr. "Bu Ba" was still very young when he was sent here, only twenty-eight years old. Now he is forty-two years old. He usually takes care of his wife and daughter and no longer cares about the company's affairs.
The whole person has become very kind. His neighbors all think that Mr. Bubark is a very polite and educated man who treats others gently.
Just three months ago, Buye received a threatening letter.
——The content of the letter requires him to terminate payment for various entertainment products.
According to the definition of "branch company" governance, the branches of each island have the right to administer the affairs monopolized by the headquarters and give priority to developing business on each island. Just like Abe Biomedical can acquire other hospitals on Happy Island and poach other hospitals.
Medical scientists and pharmacologists will not be stopped by the Tianen Group.
The unique technology of Tianen Group is memory review and editing technology, and also includes the editing and production of various transcendental reality chips. But their main business is news media and cultural entertainment...including news, newspapers, TV stations, and advertising.
, TV series, variety shows, movies, animations, games, novels, VR transcendence. Basically, it can be said that all types of entertainment that can be experienced on the Internet fall under the jurisdiction of Tianen Group and its branches.
At the social level of Sogo Island, there is a tendency to resist this kind of entertainment. But because of this, fewer entertainment methods will lead to more loyal users... This means that their business competition pressure will follow.
reduce.
Because the residents of Sogo Island have no choice. They have to buy the things released by Tianen Group branch, no matter how expensive they are.
The most iconic one is the "program fee". Except for the six "free programs" designated by Tianen Group, all remaining programs will be deducted based on the viewing time. And this deduction is the same as the electricity bill.
There is no prompt at all when using it, and it will be automatically settled and deducted at the end of the month.
Because the mainstream view on Sogo Island is that these entertainments will corrupt people. Therefore, even if the Sogo Group branch uses an obviously unreasonable charging system, there is no large-scale opposition--it can even be said that there is opposition to this charging system.
itself means showing that one enjoys this kind of entertainment
They are "lazy people" who are happy, or "jealous people" who want others to fall. And such people will be alienated by others on social media and in real life... because just getting close to them, agreeing with them, and supporting them
They may be considered by others as "the same kind of self-destruction".
Therefore, although there are always objections, these voices have never been able to gather together.
It can be said that these true entertainment lovers have a hard time.
However, the loneliness of being alienated from society and the depression of having to spend a lot of money to enjoy the things you like accumulate over time... they never disappear.
"Bubu" believed that this incident was likely to come from revenge from such people. So he reported the incident to the branch office and the three sages of Sogo Island, and then let it go in his mind.
thing.
But two months ago, a gangster wearing a jackal hood bypassed the dense protective equipment and broke into his home when he was not at home. He kidnapped and tied up his wife and daughter.
A blocking chip is inserted into the interface of
After that, they were tied up and locked in the bathroom, and the shower head was turned on.
When Bu Ba returned home, he subconsciously thought that his wife and daughter were taking a bath. So he didn't pay attention even if he heard some noises.
And when he felt that the bath time was too long and went to the bathroom to check... he was attacked and knocked unconscious the moment he opened the door. After that, his wife and daughter saw this "masked wolf-headed man"
Take Bu Ba away.
When he was doing this, he did not have time to insert a chip that could block the signal immediately. Therefore, the moment Bu Yao suffered a heavy blow to his head, Abe Biomedical's "Special Member Emergency Treatment Team" immediately
They took a helicopter and arrived at Bubai's home within three minutes. Unfortunately, they did not find Mr. Bubai and the gangsters. Instead, they saw Bubai's wife and daughter tied up in the bathroom.
There are no cameras at all in Bu Hui’s home, which is what these middle- and high-level figures have in common. They trust the city that is completely monitored by the Three Sages and the crime warning, and they will do some less legal things to a greater or lesser extent.
. Therefore, no equipment with monitoring capabilities that can be controlled by the Three Sages will be installed in locations where these actions may be carried out.
The surveillance camera outside the house found nothing. The gangsters were not seen entering or leaving during the whole process.
Soon, Sogo Group's enforcement department arrived at the scene. However, after they conducted an extremely thorough search for evidence, they found nothing.
In addition to the footprints, the gangster's hands were clearly exposed, but he left no fingerprints, and not even any skin flakes fell off. Therefore, the enforcement department once suspected that the gangster might be a "machine servant", at least
His skin should have a synthetic covering on the outside.
But even if its own marketing director was kidnapped, there was still no movement from the Tianen Group branch.
They easily suppressed the "threatening letter" and did not broadcast news related to this time at all. But soon, rumors about this incident suddenly began to spread among the crowd... When the three sages reviewed the rumors, they
When he found the source, he found out that it was an ordinary high school student. And he himself had no memory of this incident at all.
Afterwards, the gangster placed a ransom-demanding letter next to his wife's bedside in the middle of the night. The female bodyguard who was in the same room had no memory of it at all - she swore she had never seen it.
Someone appeared in the room. But Sogo Island did not allow memory review, so she could only be removed.
The gangsters demanded ransom in the form of "gold bars" and asked them to deposit them at a designated location. Buye's wife immediately notified the Sogo Group's execution department.
The executives carried out tight control - this time a large number of personnel, not just cameras, were deployed to monitor the ransom and the surrounding area. But in the end, the letter stated that the time for paying the ransom had passed, but no one came to collect it.
At that time, the executive department of Sogo Group believed that there must be an insider among them who leaked information about this matter.
So they took the opportunity to conduct an internal cleaning...
With a large number of people unemployed and imprisoned in the executive department, the news could no longer be suppressed.
The Sogo Group conveniently shifted the blame and asked the Tianen Group branch to report the incident. It also accused the incident of being entirely caused by their excessive pricing of entertainment programs.
Sogo Island is ruled by the Sogo Group. Among the twelve spiritual directors and the twelve human directors, six spiritual directors and twelve human directors are from the Sogo Group - the remaining six spiritual directors are from other companies.
The six giants, and the chaos caused by this incident made everyone feel troubled.
Therefore, this was a rare overwhelming vote of one to twenty-three.
In the end, the branch of Tianen Group had no choice but to announce the news and actually lowered the prices of most of the entertainment programs.
And the day after they lowered their pricing…
——Not barking, but suddenly having his jamming chip removed, he returned to his home safely.
