"The information is not equal...then what we are doing now is not trying to be a savior?" Yezi suddenly felt ridiculous.
Hearing this, Yougege asked: "Yezi, if you could know all the truth, would you feel very happy?"
Ye Zi was startled, and after thinking for a moment, he replied seriously: "That depends on what kind of truth it is."
You Gege smiled: "What about?"
"For example..." Yezi rolled his eyes, and then smiled: "Just like the real estate they just talked about, this is a good opportunity to make money, who doesn't want to take the opportunity to make some money."
As soon as these words came out, not only You Gege laughed, but Zhao Jie and Lao Xu also laughed.
Yezi stopped smiling when he saw this: "Hey, what's wrong?"
Zhao Jie waved his hand and said: "That's true. What everyone wants to know and the truth they want to know will always be in their favor. This will never change."
"Really?" Ye Zi frowned, seeming to be dissatisfied with Zhao Jie's remarks.
Lao Xu nodded and agreed: "This is reasonable. In fact... Speaking of it, a movie called "Rashomon" made by your Japanese director has already explained it very well. Why, Noko?
Haven’t you seen this movie?”
Yezi was stunned. She had never seen it, but had only heard about it.
"No...I'm not interested in old movies."
Lao Xu was a little surprised and a little embarrassed. He sighed softly: "Oh, no wonder."
Noko: "Don't wonder, what is this movie about?"
Lao Xu glanced at Ye Zi and then looked at Zhao Jie beside him and said, "When it comes to telling stories, you are good at it. Why don't you tell her about it?"
However, Zhao Jie did not rush to start. Instead, he glanced at Yu Gege first. Seeing that You Gege didn't say anything more, he said: "Actually, the story of this "Rashomon" is not complicated. The scenes and characters are very simple, but
The interesting thing is that such a simple story reflects so much about the truth and human nature."
Yezi rolled his eyes and said, "Oh, don't use so many prefixes, okay? Let's get straight to the point!"
Zhao Jie laughed, nodded and said: "Okay, okay, the story told by Rashomon is actually just like the four of us today. It's about a woodcutter, a robber, a samurai and the samurai's wife who share the same truth.
Stories of different descriptions.”
…[The following content contains spoilers, please read as appropriate]…
"Rashomon" directed by the great director Akira Kurosawa tells the story of a bizarre murder incident.
The victims were a samurai and his wife.
But in terms of describing the truth, the four people's confessions gave four completely different stories.
In the eyes of bandits, killing samurai and insulting their wives is a manifestation of their superb martial arts.
In the eyes of the samurai, being killed by bandits was because he was plotted against.
In the eyes of a samurai wife, her husband was killed because he did not love her and even disliked her because she was insulted.
In the eyes of the woodcutter, the deaths of these people had nothing to do with him. All he wanted was the knife and the belongings of the deceased.
………………
There are contradictory points in the four different versions of the story, but without exception, everyone's attitude toward the truth tends to be self-interested.
The director shows people's attitude towards the truth through this "Rashomon".
After listening to Zhao Jie's story, Yezi understood why Zhao Jie and others laughed when he said they were making a fortune.
What they laughed at was not Noko's straightforwardness and money-obsessed petty ideas, but their attitude towards the truth.
And if everyone's attitude towards the truth is the same, then it means that the truth of △○△'s sale is destined to be impossible to be accepted by everyone, let alone talk about salvation.
The top-down information asymmetry mentioned before is understandable and even very necessary.
Because it is this asymmetry that creates interest, and once it is public, the truth about "real estate" loses value.
Thinking of this, Yezi fell silent.
Everyone was silent.
After a long time, Yougege said: "We have never been saviors, and we have no intention to save this world, nor are we capable of saving this world. What we can do is break the existing order and constantly add new variables to the world, so as to
Helping it accelerate toward destruction, or... towards transcendence... But the result is unpredictable after all. If you think too much, you will be restricted everywhere, so... no one is allowed to talk about this issue in the future. We just need to keep it.
Just one principle is enough.”
A principle? Yezi didn’t know the details of the plan, so he was a little confused.
Zhao Jie said: "What you said is absolutely true. As long as their bid is right and they want the truth, we will give them whatever truth they want! Before everything officially begins, we are pure businessmen! This is indeed very important!"
Lao Xu also believed that it was true, but he considered more. He added: "However, we must also master the balance in this. We cannot let any one or several forces regard us as a thorn in the flesh, so that even if our
If it is strong enough, it may be difficult to start promoting the 'Flintstone Project' ten years later."
Firestone Project? Noko heard another unfamiliar keyword, but she didn't dare to ask more.
Yougege pondered for a moment and then said: "Now that our people are infiltrated into each country, I'm not worried that they will concentrate their power to deal with us... What I'm worried about now is how I will deal with things ten years from now."
After hearing this, Zhao Jie and Lao Xu looked at each other, and they both said in unison: "The student thinks that perhaps you should recruit more students to brainstorm ideas!"
"Brainstorming?" You Gege thought for a while, then nodded: "Indeed... there is no better way than this..."
The topic is now over for now.
Unknowingly, it was already noon, and Zhao Jie and others, who had originally planned to take a rest, simply stopped sleeping and started preparing for You Gege's afternoon itinerary.
Yougege took a nap in the room for an hour.
It was exactly one o'clock in the afternoon when Zhao Jie woke her up.
After leaving the temporary residence, several people took a car to the door of a house in the suburbs.
This private house is located on the edge of a residential area. Behind the house is a pine forest, which looks unremarkable at all.
However, after entering the house, you realize what "a different world" means.
Although the interior decoration is relatively simple in style, the details also reflect care and refinement.
When You Gege arrived, the second floor of the house was already packed.
When they heard that Mr. Xi had arrived, everyone on the second floor stood up in a hurry, and they were all very respectful.
These people are both male and female, with not only different ages, but also different skin colors and hair colors.
Just from their faces, it is easy to tell that they come from all over the world.
The reason why Yougege met these people here is quite intriguing.
After the main seat was seated, the door to the second floor was closed.
Neither Zhao Jie nor Lao Xu accompanied him, only Yezi was always with You Gege.
At around 9 o'clock in the evening, after the seven-hour secret meeting ended, everyone who participated in the secret meeting left the house in batches.
Yougege didn't stay here either. She went back to the previous hotel to have dinner there and then rested for the night.
Early the next morning, Yougege received a piece of bad news.
Chao Qing is dead.
Although he was wearing a super-era technological product and had the fighting strength to fight one against a hundred, he was eventually defeated and died in battle.
However, before dying, Chao Qing destroyed all the products that did not belong to this era, including the exoskeleton armor on his body.
Chao Qing's death was originally part of Yougege's plan, so Yougege was not surprised or too sad.
On the contrary, Zhao Jie's eyes turned red for a while after receiving the news, but he managed to hold it back and did not lose his composure in front of others.
Once Chao Qing died, the storm in Nanjing basically calmed down.
△○△ announced their arrival to the world in this extremely high-profile way and expressed their attitude. As for what they thought, Yugege didn't care.
Now she was waiting for something else.
…
After waiting for a day and a night, Hu Benkang finally met Li Shaoan.
However, when they met, the two men did not embrace warmly, but almost started fighting.
Hu Benkang was angry that Li Shaoan actually used him as a pawn, while Li Shaoan was angry that he exceeded his authority and reported Li Shaoan's various violations to his superiors.
Although these "violations" and "oversteps of authority" have been confirmed by superiors, Li Shaoan will inevitably be criticized in front of others for Hu Benkang's troubles... After all, in order to smoothly clean up these "uninvited guests", under Li Shaoan's arrangement, the special service team
The alliance lost seven young members.
Guan Dehou finally managed to pull the two away, but the two men's cruel words did not stop.
"What's wrong! My wings have become stronger! I can now stand alone! That's it. I don't care whether my brothers live or die? Did I save a dog's life when I took bullets for you in the Northeast?! Ah?!" Hu Benkang almost exploded with anger.
The anger was not just because Li Shaoan had concealed something from him, but because he felt that this matter could have been done better, at least... at least he didn't have to sacrifice so many young lives "in vain".
"Hu Benkang! Are you a soldier? You are a soldier! You have to obey orders!!! If you obey orders, you will inevitably bleed! Don't tell me you don't understand!!" Li Shaoan's anger comes more from the incomprehension of his best friend.
.
"I understand! It's because I understand that I risked my life to save you! What about you! What do you think of your brother? Do you think that your promotion and wealth will lead you to the ladder of heaven? Ah! Get away! I can't beat him today.
If you are convinced, my surname will not be Hu!"
Li Shaoan sneered: "Come on! I think you are the one with the most skills! You are stupid after staying in the Northeast! No one else is going to slap me with any high-profile hat! I can't take it! I don't want to take it! If you think that I
It’s to get promoted and get rich! Then why don’t you come? I will stand here today and let you beat me! If I fight back, I will be raised by a beast!”
"You!" Hu Benkang was furious. He exerted force, broke away from Guan Dehou, and then punched Li Shaoan in the face.
This punch was very hard.
Li Shaoan staggered back several steps before regaining his balance.
He did not fight back, but stood up straight and looked at Hu Benkang.
Hu Benkang punched him and then rushed over, grabbed Li Shaoan by the collar and pushed him against the wall. He said, "I will bring them out on New Year's Eve. Before we set off, I promised their parents that I would not let them go."
Brought back! What do you want me to take back now? Take their ashes back to show to their parents? Ah!!! When did the people from our eighth company become so cold-blooded! Ah??!!
You didn’t even say hello! You didn’t show any trace! If I hadn’t been so lucky, would you have thought of preparing a coffin for me? Ah?!”
Li Shaoan didn't say a word, he just looked at Hu Benkang.
Seeing that he had no reaction, Hu Benkang's anger that had subsided rose again. He threw Li Shaoan aside with force, and then chased after him and beat him.
This time Guan Dehou failed to stop him, and a voice made Hu Benkang's fist stop.
"stop!"
Hu Benkang's body trembled. When he looked back, Minister Chen was standing at the door with a livid face.
Guan Dehou immediately stood up straight and saluted.
Hu Benkang also put away his fists, but there was no hint of anything wrong on his face.
Minister Chen walked in and looked at Li Shaoan who was handed over.
When he was in the Northeast, he did not specialize in special operations, so even if there was a head-on confrontation, Li Shaoan could not be Hu Benkang's opponent.
After this punch, half of his face swelled up, and blood flowed from the corner of his mouth.
Minister Chen frowned: "Look at you! What do you look like! Now that the matter is not over, are you just fighting in the nest?!"
Hu Benkang gritted his teeth and said nothing.
Li Shaoan stood up slowly, lowering his head and saying nothing.
After all, Minister Chen still felt sorry for Li Shaoan. He approached and said, "Let the nurse take a look."
Li Shaoan nodded slightly and left accompanied by Guan Dehou.
Seeing that Li Shaoan had left, Hu Benkang didn't want to ask any more questions, so he saluted and said, "Minister, if nothing happens, I will go back."
Upon hearing this, Minister Chen stopped him: "Wait, come with me."
As he spoke, Minister Chen walked out, but Hu Benkang did not move.
Minister Chen walked to the door and didn't hear the voice behind him, so he turned around and said, "What, do you still need me to invite you over?"
Only then did Hu Benkang follow.
When we arrived at Minister Chen's office, there were two foreigners sitting in the room. One of them looked like an American, and the other was a black man wearing a dark green military uniform and he didn't know what country he was from.
After seeing these two people, Minister Chen said: "I'm sorry, you two, I have some important matters that need to be dealt with. I would also like to ask you to go to the hotel to rest first. We will discuss the previous matters carefully tomorrow morning. What do you think?"
Minister Chen said it in Chinese.
The two foreigners seemed to understand completely. They stood up silently and left.
Hu Benkang looked surprised.
After the door was closed, Minister Chen sighed, and then said: "It was the ministry's intention to let your people come over to perform the task. Shaoan knew about it at the time and tried his best to stop it, but the palms and backs of his hands were full of flesh, and it was inevitable for anyone to get fucked.
There will be casualties, so the ministry did not adopt Shaoan's opinion and still selected your team with the best indicators!"
Minister Chen poured two cups of tea and then handed one to Hu Benkang.
This has been made very clear, Hu Benkang is not a fool, but... what he cares about is not personal life or death, but about being used without knowing the truth.
Minister Chen took the tea and did not drink it. Instead, he saluted to the west and then sprinkled it in front of him.
Upon seeing this, Hu Benkang also offered tea to the seven martyrs who died in Longtan Prison the day before yesterday.
"sit down."
Hu Benkang didn't move, he was still standing.
After Minister Chen glanced at him, he knew what he was thinking, and continued: "The reason why I kept it secret from you from beginning to end was not because I was worried that you would not have enough personal awareness or emotions, but because...the whole thing
From beginning to end, we didn’t dare to leak any information.”
Hu Benkang frowned: "Why?"
Minister Chen poured another cup of tea, took a sip and said with a wry smile: "Why... because our opponents are not only △○△, but also many other 'uninvited guests' who covet the technological power possessed by this group of people, and
These people have infiltrated all over Nanjing during this year. If Shaoan and Dehou hadn't escaped from death and brought back key clues, we might not even be able to catch a mouse as big as Omega Commando!"
Hu Benkang didn't frown after hearing this. He continued to ask: "If it is reasonable to say that one or two illegals brought guns into the country, the appearance of such a large number of armed personnel in Longtan Prison cannot be explained by an oversight.
Is it okay?"
Minister Chen nodded: "You are right, but do you know that since the mysterious organization codenamed AOA appeared, all countries in the world have been disturbed by them, and from the very beginning, we were not sure that their home base was there.
Under our noses, the investigation results of Interpol and the security affairs team all point to San Francisco, USA... But what is the result? We have all become pawns on other people's chessboard, and they just use the most common disguise to hide themselves in
Longtan Prison, a place that attracts so much attention, even put Chao Qing outside for us to see! But this is just like close-up magic, the closer you are, the harder it is to see clearly."
Hearing this, Hu Benkang understood.
But what is the connection between this and Li Shaoan deliberately hiding his whereabouts and even claiming that he is still trapped in Longtan Prison?
Before Hu Benkang asked, Minister Chen continued: "Dehou and Shaoan were the first to discover it, but they may have noticed the enemy's extraordinary power, so they took action privately and fell into the enemy's trap without reporting it.
This personal action caused them to lose a lot of people, but it also brought us back a key clue, which is..."
Hu Benkang frowned, looked at Minister Chen attentively, and listened quietly to what was going on.
Minister Chen hesitated for a moment and then said: "That is... there is an insider who has been infiltrated among people at my level. If we cannot use and eliminate this insider, it will be impossible to successfully remove the undercover of Longtan Prison."
This poisonous stinger! Moreover, Shaoan’s plan also contains a lot of uncontrollable factors, and the emergence of the Omega Commando is one of them! And the only ones who can save the new force amidst such uncontrollable factors are you Xing’an Eight
The company's special service members! So...after Shaoan formulated the plan, the ministry selected you!"
