Chapter 676: "Both"
Boston, Titan-9 Branch, Phoebe's oversized office on the roof. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Barbara sat on the couch on the side, holding one hand in the air, and said to Phoebe, "Phoebe, look at this document." ”
After speaking, Barbara threw a document displayed on the projection to Phoebe, raised her hand to make a "catch" motion, and said, "Barbara, is it really fun to play like this?"
Barbara nodded and said, "Such a sci-fi way of working, I think it is very good for improving work enthusiasm, don't you really plan to sell the lost to commercial companies? I think this way can start a new generation of office revolution." ”
Phoebe shook her head and said: "More liberalized customers means more trouble, not only to deal with the endless demands of customers, but also to remember how many anti-monopoly investigations have occurred since the rise of Internet companies, in fact, financial groups are still staring at us." ”
Barbara shrugged her shoulders and said, "Okay, I see, as long as we popularize the product from high-end applications to the commercial field, the chaebols will definitely reach out to us." ”
Phoebe shook her head and began to read the document that Barbara had "lost", and when she saw that Barbara was still staring at her, she said, "Well, I know, but what does this mean?"
Barbara shrugged her shoulders and said, "The Bush family seems to be very pleasant. ”
Phoebe said: "The letter of recommendation for Ebrun to West Point was from their family, and now that Ebrun has a successful career, isn't it normal to invite them?"
Barbara laughed: "Hey, I knew you would say that, but Bush Jr. privately told Eblon that he wanted to buy a farm on the island, and said that Bush Sr. liked our honey very much, and I think the industrial group should have taken a fancy to the safety of the floating island, or used the floating island as a large refuge, and wanted to get permission to go to the island." ”
Phoebe shook her head and said, "We'll talk about this later, we haven't designed the ecological structure of the island yet, the farm can have it, but it can't be now." ”
Barbara also shook her head and said, "They don't actually want a farm, but want to move part of the industry to the floating island. ”
Phoebe asked, "Are they so impatient? The new president has just come to power, and industrial capital is so anxious to flee from financial capital?"
Barbara frowned and said, "I told Bush Jr. that the floating island can't accept more people for the time being, but his brother digressed and said that he wanted to sign an agreement with Unclaw on the supply of horseshoe crab blood, oh yes, and sponge farming as well." ”
Phoebe pondered for a while and said, "You didn't tell them that the floating island is a ship, not an island, and there is no such thing as an exclusive economic zone." ”
Barbara spread her hands and said, "Phoebe, can't you think in other directions?"
"Other directions?"
Barbara nodded and said, "You belong to the kind of person who will consider everything as much as possible, but the others are different from you, they don't have a strong memory like you, and they don't have access to a lot of confidential information, and even if they do, it won't take long to forget." In addition, despite the fact that the rich live in the common circle, the news, newspapers, and the like they read every day will still introduce into their minds the information that can be obtained by the common people with narrower access to information. Isn't that right?"
Phoebe nodded and asked, "What did I overlook?"
"Apocalypse. ”
Phoebe was stunned.
Barbara laughed, "To be honest, in the eyes of ordinary people, the Atlantic Floaters will be seen as a place like Noah's Ark. Remember? A few months ago, some media wanted to report on the floating islands, but in the end, everyone worked together to suppress them. ”
Phoebe nodded: "Well, there is such a thing. ”
Barbara spread her hands and said: "Since 1992, the saying that the end of the world is approaching has begun to rise, and then we have passed 1999, 2000, 2001 safely, oh, 911 may be the end of some people, but not for everyone." The year 2008 was also thought to be the end of the world, and we still came here, but you know, doomsayers always find new ones that are approaching the end of the world, and now the popular saying is that 2012 is the day of the Mayan calendar, but because it hasn't happened yet, even the most serious scientists can't prove that they're talking nonsense, right?"
Phoebe blinked and said, "So, many people think that our strict restrictions on the island are also screening people who can be saved?"
Barbara nodded, "That's right, that's it." And don't forget, there was someone in Salem who said you had earned the Elemental Witch's legacy. Of course, some cults with no more than a hundred people also say that you are a savior, because you have been floating at sea without food and water for three days, and they think that you were actually killed and thrown into the sea, and the Java Sea is a sea with mysterious powers for some people, so ......"
"So?"
"Well, anyway, there are a lot of people who privately think that you represent a kind of salvation, of course, there are very few people who think so, and some of them are reported by the media as anecdotes and jokes, but you know, under the current American media system, even rumors, still make some people feel justified. Barbara spread her hands again.
"So you mean, the Bush family, or some other industrial family, believed it?" asked Phoebe.
Barbara looked sideways at the sky, nodded her finger to her mouth, and said: "I can't say that I believe it, it should be a rainy day, at least they think it's a good idea to disperse the industry to the Atlantic floaters, don't forget, you also promised to give the banks of the Industrial Capital Group twenty tons of gold every year, so if that's all they want, they also want to be closer to you, after all, the new president, well, is closer to the Jewish group, as can be seen from his bailout plan." ”
Although Phoebe knew that this kind of thought was easy to appear in the crowd, but in her opinion, the high-level of the rational industrial capital group should not have this kind of thought, so she felt strange in her heart, but at the same time, logical reasoning told her that Barbara's statement was very possible, so Phoebe made a puzzled expression and said: " But after all that you've said, the latter point of view, which is the decentralization of the industry, I think it's very likely, that we had planned for it from the beginning, so do the worries about the end of the world come up with a high weight in their minds? I mean, there's no one precise measure at all, so we can't make new decisions about it. ”
"And ......," Phoebe had finished, as Barbara leaned back on the couch and answered, "and even if they were really worried about the apocalyptic rhetoric, they wouldn't say or imply anything, would they?"
Phoebe nodded: "Of course, this will make the whole circle laugh." ”
It's been so long, and Barbara has rarely been able to really "educate" Phoebe, but this time it made her feel that she could finally run ahead of Phoebe, so she was a little excited and smiled: " Phoebe, to be honest, before the construction of the Atlantic Floaters, including myself, although I had a little feeling, but I didn't seriously think that this could become a place to escape disasters and multiply, but with the smooth start of the gravity core machine, the formal operation of the three-dimensional cultivation base of food crops from the seventh to the thirteenth floor, and the overpressure desalination system, etc., the technologies that everyone used to think about at most were realized one by one on the floating islands, to be honest, even if you don't say it, you will feel that the floating islands are Noah's Ark, and you asked Titan to start recruiting new employees again after the floating islands were launched, and it was the same as before, only recruiting Germans, to be honestEveryone thinks that you are serious about leading the Titan and preparing to give the Titan a new future. Such things make Titan more and more united and more confident. And our people are not completely untouched with the outside world, so people outside can more or less make some judgments through the mental outlook of the Titans, and as long as those people have the heart to investigate and study. ”
Phoebe nodded, a considerable part of Titan's intelligence activities used similar methods, and this method was still done by the people of Titan.
Barbara added: "So, if people on the outside, with some preconceived notions, such as' Are the people of Titan building a refuge base' to study us, I think they will definitely come to a conclusion in favor of this view, you know that the side intelligence analysis model does not have an absolutely authoritative and fair core benchmark evaluation structure, just like the role of Asteria for us Titan, then the analytical intelligence obtained will definitely have such a deviation, and the people outside have Asteria? I don't trust the think tanks, so it's not surprising that the true function of Atlantic floaters is misunderstood, and even with the completion of the whole new ecosystem that we've deployed on the floating islands, there will certainly be more and more people who think so. You know, I think in another six months, everybody will start to take the initiative to help us and Unclaude cover up the floating islands, and it wasn't until the liberal media exposed us that we had to stand up and face the public skepticism. However, the best step you have given to the legal rationality of floating islands before this is to let Bush Jr. pass the bill that floats on islands are ships before stepping down, so it is not surprising that the Bush family reacted quickly, because they think that they understand all your plans and they want to get on the boat, and that's it. ”
Phoebe nodded, was silent for a while, and said, "That'...... Are we going to have to adjust our plans for this?"
Barbara shook her head and said, "To be honest, I don't know, if it weren't for the apocalyptic factors I mentioned, your plan would be quite perfect, they want to go to the island, they can, but according to the rules of Titan, I think your plan is as perfect as the previous plans." But as I said earlier, after the doomsday factor is involved, I really don't know, in fact, your previous plan is not something that everyone can do, at least I can't do it so comprehensively, and the timetable is so detailed. ”
Phoebe nodded again and said, "Have you summed up the list of people who took the initiative to find you the night before yesterday and what they said?"
Barbara immediately said with a bitter face: "You think everyone has such a good memory like you......" After speaking, she sighed and said, "I really should have worn a video camera." ”
"Didn't you often face a lot of people in the European diplomatic arena before, and you still have to make an intelligence summary when you come back?" asked Phoebe.
Baba stretched out her hand and said to Phoebe: "First of all, when I was in Eastern Europe, I was not alone, the logistics team made the records, and when I summarized the information, I was more of a pick-up and fill in the gaps. Secondly, there were a lot more people coming to me for this drinking party than I expected, what you should have thought of beforehand...... Well, that's right, you're to blame for that. ”
Phoebe spread her hands and said, "Well, it was my mistake. ”
Seeing that Phoebe didn't insist, Barbara pouted and said, "Okay, it's my fault......"
Phoebe spread her hands again and said, "It's all up to you." ”
Barbara suddenly laughed: "Okay, I was wrong." As you've said before, I'm really getting less and less sensitive to the intelligence side of things. ”
Phoebe waved her hand and said: "Well, it's good that you know, and it's not important, the tendency of the middle and lower class families is not particularly important, after all, although the road we are taking is to climb up along this system, but for this system, we are still quite independent, and the tendency of small and medium-sized forces is just a reference." ”
Barbara nodded and said, "Thank you for saying that...... Don't worry, I'll sort out the people who came to me in order, and to be honest, thanks to the maze system that can help me reconstruct the memory of the scene at that time, or it's really a bit of a hassle. I now understand why you're turning an entire floor into an office. ”
No one knew that Phoebe could use the method of feeling the source of emotions to determine whether the surroundings were safe or not, so Phoebe had the idea of allocating an entire floor to her own office, everyone thought that Phoebe liked quiet or something else, and Barbara finally gave a new conjecture this time, at least she was right in some aspects, when using the maze system to reconstruct the scenes experienced, sometimes it does take a lot of space.
Phoebe just smiled and nodded at Barbara's words, and then began to look at what was displayed in front of her, while Barbara frowned and began to fiddle with what was in front of her.
As Barbara stood up and walked around the large, somewhat empty office, Phoebe made remarks such as:
"No, there's a 120-centimeter-tall vase there. ”
Or, "I remember the width of this door was not enough for five people to stand side by side." ”
Or "Barbara, don't you think that person will step on the hem of the dress you wore last night when he leaves?"
In this way, to be honest, on the one hand, Barbara once again saw Phoebe's excellent memory and logical ability, and on the other hand, Barbara felt very depressed, it turned out that there were so many illusions in her memory......
Well, in fact, Barbara's idea is: the stinky girl can't get off the stage again, but luckily there are only two of us in the office, huh!
Just as Barbara finally began to count who took the initiative to talk to her the day before yesterday and who she took the initiative to find through the scene revisit, she suddenly heard Phoebe say, "God, Barbara, you better come and see this." ”
"What?"
"The photo of the two of us was published in the tabloid media, saying that Ebrun's girlfriend was having an affair with Ebrun's sister. Phoebe said as she operated, causing the maze system to project a large photo and news report.
When Barbara approached, she frowned and said, "Isn't this photo from when we went back to the hotel?
"When you dragged me away, I said, there are people watching over there, it doesn't matter what you say. Phoebe nodded.
"Heavenly ...... This is in West Virginia, not California. Barbara frowned.
"Oh my God, what's your focus!?" Phoebe said.
Barbara slapped her forehead in a sudden realization: "I'm going to call Ebrun, well, by the way, I have to call the Samon company for a ......"
Phoebe twisted her hand in front of her and said, "I'll arrange for someone to check the background of this tabloid, I hope it's just a media that wants to get attention and no one has the support behind it." ”
Barbara was walking to the sofa to find her phone, and when she heard this, she said: "Let me arrange this matter, after all, this is happening in the United States, it's better not to use our strength, wouldn't it be good to let the people on the FBI side investigate? Or the NSA can do it, anyway, there are people staring at you in the United States, and both of them are to blame." ”
Phoebe paused for a moment, nodded and said: "You're right, we can't show the same strength as Germany on the American side, but don't worry, I'm not using the power of Titan to check, didn't I tell you before, my computer technology is still okay." ”
Barbara suddenly realized again and said with a smile: "I really forgot if you didn't say this, but you be careful, don't forget that the author of the magic painting virus has always been the person the NSA and FBI want to find." ”
Phoebe shrugged her shoulders and began to keep her head down and get to work, while Barbara started to call Ebrun, and of course, she didn't forget to call Samon and the NSA......
