How did I become a villain
Page 130
"I hope that human beings all over the world can let go of their prejudices and agree with the outside world, and will no longer fight endlessly because of differences in beliefs, races, regions, and cultures. The universe is vast and can accommodate everyone. In the future, the big universe In this era, all human beings are a community of the same spirit.”
Those who recorded her itinerary at the airport that day had a preliminary understanding of this girl they didn't know much at first.And the reaction she brings to people is also because of the different feelings of listening.
After many years, when these original witnesses were interviewed, different people gave different opinions.
"She is a beautiful girl, but her heart is more beautiful than her appearance."
"This is the only time I saw her live. Unlike the image on TV, you can really feel her charm only at the scene."
"She is just a child, but she bears the burden of human revival. Even an adult cannot bear this burden."
"Long-term pain is worse than short-term pain. She sees it very clearly, saying that she does not support is actually a kind of support for our party. Because from the perspective at that time, the United States was the world hegemony. If she chooses to help KMT supported by the United States, we will For the sake of victory, more outstanding comrades sacrificed. This is by no means imagined and thought by some people. It is the Americans who let us go. It is the vision and wisdom of people who know the general situation and smart people. She saw this, so She does not help each other, and vigorously develops new energy technologies, laying the foundation for China to catch up with the world in the future."
"You know, old energy sources will eventually be replaced. Without her and Mr. Stanley, without Infinite Energy's branch in China, what we have to face after the founding of the country is a technical barrier. Even if we have the support of the Soviet Union , but at that time, who could meet today?"
"Both she and Mr. Stanley are friends of the Chinese people, no matter in the past, present or future. We should thank her. She really thinks about our future from the standpoint and perspective of human beings."
Although her actions will lead to qualitative changes in the future, not many people really realize this yet.They were only moved by the girl's speech, or applauded in agreement.Standing on the podium and looking down, Griffin can still see which people's applause is from the heart and which ones are perfunctory.
Volume 181.1: [-] Layout in China
In fact, the impact of the original space stone on her is also reflected in the visual senses. Simply put, she can distinguish more colors within the field of vision, and lock everyone at the same time like the vision of an insect.
It was a very enjoyable visual stimulus.
After the speech, the security personnel escorted her, separated the reporters and welcome personnel who wanted to go forward, and came to the waiting black car. Obadiah Stani, the general manager of Infinite Energy's branch in China, was already dressed neatly. The suit is waiting there.After a period of high-intensity work, this young man finally managed to kill all the hair on his head. His shiny bald head is so conspicuous in the crowd.
With a final wave to the crowd and the last photo of the day, Griffin boarded the car that came to pick her up and drove to the Infinite Energy branch.It won't be long before the news of her coming to China will be published and reported by various media.At that time, there would probably be a lot of socializing, but the girl was not very interested in it, so she had to communicate with Obadiah.
"I hope I didn't delay too long." Said the bald old acquaintance with dark circles in the back of the spacious car.
"The timing is just right." The girl replied casually.
She noticed the dark circles under the other party's eyes, presumably it was another business transaction the night before.
"The accommodation is ready." Obadiah said again. "You did a great job just now, did you notice the expressions of those people?"
"I hope they can listen, but you and I also understand that it is difficult for people to understand each other," Griffin said.
"But... the threat of aliens, is it real?"
"Maybe not now, but as humans get the Rubik's Cube, they will act sooner or later." Griffin said. "For some alien civilizations, humans getting the Infinity Stone is like a monkey getting a heavy machine gun. Humans are never a threat, but the Rough Stone is."
"Although these words give me the feeling that if humans hand over the Rubik's Cube, nothing will happen, but why did I hear other meanings from it?"
"Because in the eyes of some mentally clean aliens, if a treasure is touched by a monkey, it is a blasphemy against this treasure." Griffin replied. "Some extraterrestrial civilizations will let us go, and some won't. It's uncertain. You can't bet on what the first alien civilization to come to Earth will do to humans. It is folly to give to enemies and hope for their mercy."
Since we got the Rubik's Cube, human beings have no way out.Participating in the interstellar chessboard as a new civilization is inevitable for the survival of the species.Just like politics, if you get involved, you can only keep playing.
"I worry every day that human beings are not developing fast enough and will be targeted by alien civilizations. Maybe when I wake up the next day, I will be able to see malicious alien spacecraft in the sky."
"That's horrible." Obadiah stroked his stubbled chin.Comforting: "You should think of some good things. Fortunately, as a rare international city in China, the prosperity of Shanghai can make you forget these troubles for a while. I suggest you go to the movies and feel the life of ordinary human beings. Because there will be more troubles in the future.”
"Speaking of which, I have a task for you." The girl casually opened a gap in the car, took out her schedule and handed it over. "I'm going to a few places, help me arrange the itinerary. Keep it as simple as possible, and you will go to other non-essential entertainment."
"It seems that my weight loss plan is impossible to realize." Obadiah glanced at the content on the paper, and it was mostly normal trips and investigations, nothing special.Put the file in his Nahuan and said: "I will arrange it, thank you very much for your trust."
"That doesn't seem like what you should say." Griffin glanced at the other party, and said with a smile, "Uncle Stanislav, you weren't so reserved before."
Hearing the girl's joke, Obadiah couldn't help but also let out a comfortable laugh. "Nothing. Now you are assigning work, and I am docking work. Before you came, I have not experienced the opportunity to talk about work and daily life separately. I have been in China for more than a year. I always attend various This kind of banquet, Chinese people are used to talking about business at the dinner table, I almost forgot how I worked in the United States.”
A businessman who doesn't want to be an arms dealer is not a good businessman. For Obadiah, as long as his desire to be an arms dealer is fulfilled, he is willing to send him to Africa.Can you feel bad about doing a career you like?
Griffin wants to expand Infinity Energy's investment in China. More factories mean more military supplies can be hidden. He can also use the money from business expansion to buy more arms, and continue to expand the business to form a virtuous circle.Now that the demand for military supplies in the liberated areas is increasing, I have to work hard to compete with my own ghosts in the Kuomintang-controlled areas and strive to make more money.
In addition to these, the experience during this period has indeed changed him a lot.Griffin wasn't sure what changed him, so she didn't press.
"Each region has a unique culture of communication, why not talk while eating?" She paused. "How was life in China? Did you ever resent me?"
After all, he was the one who spoke in front of Howard and threw him almost in exile to Asia.Although it is due to some unspoken considerations, the parties may not understand it.
"How could it be?" Hearing this, the bald man who was a little sleepy and distracted hurriedly expressed his opinion. "Believe it or not, my life and career here are no worse than in the United States, or even better. I mean it. I don't know if you have heard a word called 'like a fish in water'? I am now It feels like that fish."
Oh, how come I haven't heard this idiom?
I can't see that he would describe himself like this.
"I'm very happy that uncle thinks so." The bald uncle was fatter than when we parted, and it seemed that he was doing really well here, as he said.Confirming that the other party's words were sincere, Griffin continued: "Infinite Energy is going to expand to all parts of the world. China is the center of Asia. The company's layout here is very important. No matter how the future international situation develops, it cannot Affect the construction of new energy."
Is this intended to let me do it freely and not be constrained by politics?Although it is impossible for international trade to really ignore geographical factors, since she dared to say so, it seems that her real intention is to make herself act cheaply.
Isn't that what he does best?
Volume 181.2: [-] A Storm
"With your words, I think I know what to do." Obadiah nodded repeatedly.
For some things, I am afraid that the higher-ups will not give directions, because that means that there will be thunder everywhere on the way forward.But as long as he can clearly tell, this business genius can easily steer the boat to the terminal.
The vehicle quickly drove into the urban area and stopped beside the busy main road.In order to meet the big guy, Obadiah booked the best room in the best hotel in the city.Passing through the magnificent hotel hall, just about to go to the elevator room, I heard the noise at the front desk.
This made Obadiah, who was introducing the cleanliness and elegance of the hotel, very upset. He turned his head and saw a few young people in suits making noise, while the front desk manager was trying to coordinate with a smiling face.
"It seems to be asking about the room." Obadiah's bodyguard came back and informed the situation. "It's the second lady of the Kong family, who wants to live in the presidential suite, but we have already booked the top floor of the hotel, so we made a fuss."
This crazy woman is acting like a demon again!
Obadiah snorted coldly. He has been in China for more than a year and has been in contact with the upper class every day. How could he not know the four big families that really control the lifeline of China?Obadiah met her father a few times out of necessity, but never talked to her personally.
From head to toe, the second Miss of the Kong family does not have any charm that a woman should have, and she herself knows this. She often pretends to be a man, wears men's clothes, raises a young wife, and presents herself in the eyes of the world as a man. Her demeanor is very domineering, and she is known as a witch in the world.Not only the locals avoid it, but even foreigners have heard about it, which shows the power of the four major families.
He decided to ignore the farce.
"It's just a dandy who relies on his family and elders to run amok, don't pay attention to her..."
Just as he was about to go upstairs, he heard a few gunshots behind him, followed by a panicked scream from a woman.
Griffin turned his head abruptly, and over the bodyguard's shoulders, he saw the lobby manager leaning against the wall with his arms covered in pain, while another welcome staff member was lying on the ground lifeless, with bright red blood spreading beneath his body .
The passengers who were originally in the hall saw the chaotic scene, and many of them ran out.For a while, there were only a few people left in the huge hall.
But the murderer still stood where he was, with a ferocious expression covering his neutral face, and the hand holding the gun trembled more and more amidst the questioning of "Is there any room?"It seemed as if the trigger would be pulled the next second.
As for the other men and women who were traveling with her, they seemed to be accustomed to the scene in front of them, and they didn't want to get burned.
This lunatic!
Obadiah spat with his hands on his hips.
He didn't expect that this guy would really dare to pull out a gun and commit a murder.A respectable man like him, a pure-bred American gentleman, would certainly not be able to commit murder with his own hands.
More than a year of personal experience has brought about some subtle changes in his state of mind, who used to be a pure passer-by watching the scene.It's hard to tell what the reason for this change is, but it's also a little sympathetic to see.Not to mention that he booked the presidential suite, the other party seemed to be aiming at him, which made Obadiah even more unhappy.
Others are afraid of her, but Obadiah, who has an American BUFF, is not.
The bald man touched the bulletproof brooch on his suit, and was about to go forward to argue, when he heard the girl next to him suddenly say, "Change residence, check out."
For a while, Obadiah didn't have the extra thought to distinguish the mood behind the other party's cold tone, but he must be unhappy.He cursed in his heart that the witch came at the wrong time and disturbed the girl's interest, so he could only ask the bodyguard to check out.
Seeing that the person who came to check out was just an inconspicuous looking foreigner, his clothes were just ordinary bodyguards, even foreigners were of different grades, and the owner of this bodyguard was not someone who could offend him.Seeing her take out a gun, of course she chose to calm down.
It can be seen that there are some things that you really can't get if you don't make trouble.And Miss Kong Er, who got what she wanted, held her head high, leading a group of people into the elevator like a victorious general.
Walking out of the hotel gate, the smell of blood was also blocked by thick glass.Looking at another bustling scene of people coming and going on the street, Griffin let out a bad breath, and his original good mood was greatly affected by this matter.
"I also know a hotel of the same level. The scenery there is better than here." Asking the bodyguard to pick up the car, Obadiah broke the silence. "If you want me to say, you don't have to wrong yourself at all, it's yours."
In fact, he could understand the girl's decision. If she didn't do it, the manager might die too.But according to his thinking, this is an internal struggle among outsiders, even if that crazy woman beats all the staff in the lobby to death, it has nothing to do with them.They weren't murderers, and Obadiah might regret it, but otherwise there would be no psychological burden.
He chose the hotel himself, and the suite was booked before the other party, why should he let it go?
"It's not because of this, and I don't feel wronged." Griffin sighed. "I'm just sorry for the dead man. He didn't do anything wrong."
"In China, countless people die every day," Obadiah said. "Not all of them are wrong, and they don't all deserve to die. It's just that the world is like this, and you will get used to it."
What's happening now is just the tip of the iceberg, but I can already imagine similar encounters elsewhere.
These words do not have much comforting effect, in fact, Griffin is more aware of China's national conditions at this time than he is.Originally, it could only be imagined through the words in the history books, but now it is presented in front of the eyes with more cruel and realistic pictures, and the personal experience is often more impressive.
This is definitely not something that can be written clearly in a few lines in a book.
Any idiots who want to go back to the past and the Republic of China want to experience the emotional entanglement between the rich wife and the handsome general, living a luxurious life in the bustling city, wearing beautiful cheongsams and military uniforms Fireworks overlooking all living beings.To lament a few words about the misery of the common people is to sympathize with the people at the bottom.
There was a lot of fighting outside, and the theater was full of laughter. Before the bustle was over, music and dancing continued.The eyes are full of unreal illusions, but they rarely think that if they really have the opportunity to travel through the Republic of China, [-]% of them will only become one of the hungry people in the land of China, and die quietly before they can truly display their true talents.
The proportion of poor people living in precarity in this world accounts for the vast majority of the entire Republic of China.
Even if they have the ability to survive, they are only working for a few people in the upper class for a lifetime.In the Republic of China, the road to ascension was locked, and senior workers were still workers.
Volume 181.3: [-] Stanley's state of mind has changed slightly
Just like the pedestrians coming and going in front of them, how many of them are really enjoying walking instead of just running around for survival?
The car slowly stopped in front of the two of them.
"That's why I'm here," Griffin said.She declined Obadiah's invitation to get into the car and decided to walk on her own. "This world should not be like this. This is not the life they should live. Only those who have not seen the light will use the word 'habit' to paralyze themselves when facing suffering. If you give them the light , They will only smash this dilapidated building that blocks the light. Because its existence hinders more light. Yearning for a better life is the basic appeal of human beings, and whoever wants to prevent the realization of this goal is the enemy."
Obadiah followed slowly behind the girl. It was not like he had never heard similar words. In the occasional chat with Butler Zhou, Obadiah heard similar words from the other party, which also made him understand that this country is not Everyone is so numb.
Although the text descriptions of what Griffin said are not exactly the same, many of the concepts lead to the same goal, and there are striking similarities.
He subconsciously fumbled for the pocket where the booklet was placed, his face cloudy and uncertain.He wasn't quite sure whether discovering this secret was a good thing or a bad thing, but given the pressure the other party had put on him several times, he didn't intend to make a fuss about it.
Maybe it was the Rubik's Cube that broadened her horizons, this child has always been very assertive.
What Griffin said sounds beautiful, and she has been working hard to achieve this for more than two years. It seems that she herself came to the world to achieve these.Obadiah is not stupid. He can see the prospect of unlimited energy. Military use is only a part of it. The emergence of new energy is more for the economy and people's livelihood.
Before he first came to China, Obadiah didn't have those lofty ideals, he just wanted to be a pure arms dealer.When he came into contact with the people living in this land and saw their living conditions with his own eyes, Obadiah had a new understanding of China, but at that time he still insisted on his dream, but it was mixed with Some other kind of utilitarianism.
And after getting to know Steward Zhou, and getting in touch with the deeper spiritual core of this country from the other party, he has added a layer of correctness to the behavior of buying and selling supplies that he is doing now, and he has been hypnotizing himself like this.
You see, the reason why I buy and sell military supplies is actually doing things for this country and the people living on this land.Is it not because of me that those who might have died due to lack of medical care are still alive?
But Obadiah actually knew in his heart that these were just excuses for him to make profits with more peace of mind.He can fool other unsuspecting people with the names of successful people and progressive people, but he can't fool himself alone.After realizing this, for the first time, he felt a little bored with the activity he once loved so much.
He had thought of various ways to relieve this boredom, so that he could return to the state of pure pursuit of dreams at the beginning, but after trying various methods, Obadiah discovered a Helpless fact.
If the identity of the buyer is reversed, the supplies he sells are not shipped to the liberated areas but to the Kuomintang-controlled areas, and his actions are still making war fortunes.
Once China is unified, his most honorable ending may be to have his property confiscated and leave the house.After all, what I do is an arms dealer. My actions are more for myself, and I always lack justice and legitimacy in morality.
Although aware of the real problem, Obadiah, who is struggling to find a solution, seems to have lost his purpose in life, and can only maintain the status quo while deliberately or unconsciously leaning to the other side.The national government will only make bad things worse, and it will not do any useful help to his mental state when he is already aware of the problem. His only choice is the liberated area.
So he acquiesced to Steward Zhou's activities and allowed those ideas that he considered dangerous to spread in the factory, just to sell himself for a good price after reunification and prove his possible role in the new government.
But can he get what he wants with just acquiescence and support?
When I met Griffin today and heard her say that she wanted to expand investment and construction in China, Obadiah thought that doing so might temporarily solve the problems he was facing, but he soon realized that this was not a long-term solution. .
Originally, Obadiah planned to return to the villa and regroup to think about this issue. After they experienced the shooting and heard her say those words, this increasingly bewildered man suddenly had an epiphany like enlightenment.
It was like a ray of light suddenly penetrated into the darkness, and there was a kind of sudden enlightenment that was about to come out.He finally realized that he was not far away from that last step, only some opportunities were still missing.
With the situation gradually becoming clear now, he only has one chance to verify what he thinks in his heart.
Perhaps the answer lies in this booklet.he thought so.
So many people think it should be done, and if she thinks so too, it might be the right thing to do.
People are changed little by little, and they must have experienced long-term subtle influences before making a sudden decision.
Obadiah knew that he was definitely not persuaded by a few words, nor was it a temporary idea, but after a series of events fermented, he finally came up with the idea that he should do this, and it might be better to do so.
Human beings cannot live by war alone.The conclusion hadn't even crossed his mind before.It's not easy for Obadiah to admit to himself that his dream has been shattered, but once he accepts it, it doesn't seem so difficult.
Combined with my experience in China for more than a year, the promotion of unlimited energy is really needed here, but the current government cannot take advantage of this.This is not the government set up to achieve this goal.
Although the heart of an arms dealer was extinguished a lot, Obadiah found that he did not seem to feel lost and at a loss because of this, and the wavering of his dreams did not make him feel bad. On the contrary, he seemed to have found a deal. Meaning other than arms.
Just like what the girl said, even though this meaning is so small, it has already left an indelible mark on Obadiah's heart that has not seen the light all year round.
In the evening, Obadiah's villa ushered in many guests.
Since Griffin refused to see visitors and blocked the passage to the residence with space, they could only use this American as a middleman, hoping to get some things about infinite energy from him, so as to plan for their future.
Volume 182: [-] Unlimited rough stones can still be used like this
Since that shooting, she has begun to re-examine her layout.Expanding the scale of production is one of the main purposes of her visit to Asia this time, and she is also mentally prepared to flirt with the local government.However, at the end of the day, I realized that I still underestimated their bottom line.She is definitely not willing to benefit these country moths.If Obadiah chooses to collude with this group of people, it will also affect the reputation of Infinity Energy. Before expanding investment in Asia, she should first examine whether Obadiah can shoulder this burden.
She knew that Obadiah used the name of infinite energy to resell supplies in private. For the J exile area, his actions had some positive effects, but these contributions were not enough.If this man cannot show enough enthusiasm within a limited time, the local industry of infinite energy will only be confiscated, because it belongs to the assets of the old society.
