Chapter 760: The Landlord's "Instrument"

Ebrun and Barbara brought the president to Ebrun's office, a rather large office that took up almost an entire floor. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

When the president saw this pattern, he immediately cried and laughed, and asked, "Is this the office?"

Barbara spread her hands, and Ebron invited the president to sit down on the couch, and replied with a smile: "I learned this from others, but the space is so large, it does allow people to change their views and ideas on many things, which is very helpful for my work." ”

Well, it was actually Ebrun who saw Phoebe's office and asked Phoebe why she was occupying one floor by herself, and what Phoebe told him at the time was what he had just told the president. Interestingly, negotiations with various countries on the marking of orbital garbage did not go smoothly at first, and in less than a month after Eblon converted his office into an exclusive floor, negotiations began one after another, which convinced Ebrun of Phoebe's "big office, big vision, big ideas". As for Barbara, this kind of thing is almost what Phoebe says she believes, so when she heard that Ebrun was going to change the office, she also gave a lot of advice, after all, she often stayed in Phoebe's big office, and even sometimes when Phoebe was not there, she would do it in Phoebe's chair, imagining that Phoebe was "blessing" herself......

Getting back to the point, the president was stunned for a moment when he heard this, then nodded thoughtfully, looked left and right, and said: "It seems to make some sense, the wall is so far away, and the sense of comfort brought by the small room has indeed weakened a lot......"

Because it is the office location of the company of Enclaude, there is naturally no artificial intelligence system to assist management, and there is no eight-claw mechanical butler who relies on artificial muscle units to work, and there is no maze or lost person system projecting three-dimensional images, so although this office is very large, it makes it more troublesome for people to use it.

It's like asking the secretary to bring you a cup of coffee and waiting for the secretary to come up from downstairs, so in the office in Ebrun, there is a bar, four kinds of coffee machines, a drink machine, even a charcoal stove, etc., and there is even a dual-purpose fireplace...... The president looked at the way Ebrun and Barbara began to work as soon as they came in, and he was a little dazed, and anyone who saw their behavior at this time would feel that these two people did not look like the top executives of large new technology companies at all, but more like those new life people who advocated returning to nature and staying away from modern civilization.

The president felt that he could not sit still, so he got up from the sofa, approached the two who were busy with their work, and admired their work in a friendly and friendly tone, so the three of them played in the house like a picnic...... In fact, if at the beginning the president was a little underestimated by Ebron, but now, he does not dare to think so.

Barbara boiled a jug of water on an electric stove and said to the president, "Coffee, cocoa, tea, or something else?"

At this time, Ebrun answered: "I suggest you often make Barbara's Ceylon black tea, she has been trained by a very good person, and the black tea is very good. ”

The president spread his hands and said, "Since Ebron suggested, then I want black tea." ”

Ebrun smiled and nodded, then led the president to sit down on the sofa again, and said with a smile: "It feels like I'm dreaming, the president of the United States is actually in my office, haha~"

Mr. President felt a little embarrassed, but Barbara said, "Ignore him, he is like that sometimes." ”

The president suddenly felt that Barbara was a little damaged by saying this about Ebron in front of him, although the conversation was like Ebron, but the president understood that this was not a conversation in ordinary life, so he defined Barbara and Ebron's behavior as a "test".

Test yourself, after all, he's a Democratic president, while both Abrun and Barbara are hardcore Republicans, and the president has even heard that both Titan and Unclad have asked employees to vote for McCain...... However, this is not surprising in the United States, those companies that do not do private business are indeed very authoritarian, but no one will feel that something is wrong, after all, such companies are in great conflict with the ideas propagated by the Democratic Party, and if they feel that the ideas conflict, they should resign. Of course, there is another reason behind this, that is, the employees of such companies understand that their indiscriminate voting is likely to cause a significant reduction in the company's efficiency in the next few years, and the company will inevitably lay off employees......

In fact, the Democrats also do this, it seems that the media and the bipartisan propaganda of the hardcore state or city, but in fact, everyone is fighting for the election is actually those who think they have a very political view of the centrist votes, and the propaganda is defined as the hardcore votes, in fact, the vast majority of the bipartisan people see it as the middle vote, no one will think that it is the real hardcore, only the employees of Onclaude or Titan are the real hardcore votes.

Because he knew the true meaning of the hardcore vote, the president naturally did not feel that Titan and Onclaude had done wrong, and the one in charge of Onclaude would not really be as naïve as Barbara said, and the president felt that these two people wanted to try themselves before they had a formal conversation. So the president just waved his hand and said, "No problem, in fact, everyone has a childlike heart, even when they are 100 years old, so that we can maintain our curiosity about the world and be grateful for life." ”

Hearing this, Ebron immediately spread his hands, shrugged his shoulders at Barbara and said, "Look~ This is called being curious about the world~"

Barbara couldn't help but laugh because she knew that Ebrun was really excited about showing the president his office. At the same time, the president's words just now also made Barbara sigh: Sure enough, it was not by luck that her alumnus could become president.

The president was a little surprised, he thought that Ebron should not be a tease......

When Ebron saw Barbara's expression, he smiled secretly in his heart, sat down across from the president, smiled and said, "I'm sorry, but every time I go back to the office, I have a wonderful feeling, just like a person who will shout loudly into an open place after climbing a mountain." ”

The president nodded and said, "Well, it's not difficult to understand, it does seem a little empty here." ”

"However, it's still good to get used to it......" Emrun smiled and spread his hands again, and then, continuing to ask with high interest, "By the way, you've seen the 2001: A Space Odyssey, right? ”

At this time, the president felt that if Ebrun was not really funny, then Ebron's words must have meant something - the Atlantic Floaters were considered by some people to be an alien base, and in fact, he even had some doubts that the leader of Titanus, who was eight levels below his own level of secrecy, had obtained some alien technology. In a flash of thought, the president couldn't figure out why Abrun said this, so he nodded and said, "Well, a well-known version, of course I've seen it." After saying that, as if he was infected by Ebron, he also spread his hands, and said, "When I first watched it, I thought it was real." ”

Ebrun put his right hand on his thigh, knocked down with his left hand, nodded happily and said: "Yes, yes, when I watched it when I was a child, I thought it was true...... and pointed at Barbara again: "She said that the first time she read it, she felt that it is impossible for human beings to stop hurting each other, because human evolution starts from hurting each other, without hurting each other, human beings will not evolve, let alone develop to the current level of science and technology." ”

The "......" president felt that the teasing opposite him did not seem to be pretending...... But after finding that Barbara didn't interject at all, the president was confused again, what were these two going to say?

Ebrun tapped his right hand with his left hand again and said, "Actually, my favorite part is the first five minutes of the movie, which depicts the ape-man learning to use tools, do you know why?"

The president nodded, held his hand and said: "Well, it seems that it was the first film and television work to show the view that humans evolved from apes to ordinary people through pictures, and the opening part of the movie at that time really caused a lot of repercussions, and various religions were trying their best to prevent the release of the movie." ”

The corners of Ebron's mouth cracked, he glanced at Barbara, and said, " From a certain point of view, the logic of this movie is quite correct, I mean the opening part, for example, the apes because of the different ways of feeding, so the upper limbs become more and more sensitive, first in the field of herbivores such as the deer eliminated the herbivores represented by the otter, and because of the flexible hands, so that the carnivores also learned not to prey on large primates, and then later, because of the sensitivity of the hands, learned to use tools, and then began to change to upright walking, and eliminated other apes that could not use tools and walk upright, the most interesting thing is that after that, the first stone slab appeared, and the earliest primitive worship began, and the irreversible process of evolution from apes to intelligent apes began. ”

The president was really blinded now, he didn't know how to answer Ebron, and there was only one thought in his head: he was really funny!

Barbara watched the president's every move with a playful look, and Ebrun clasped his hands again and said, "That movie made me understand that even if it is a life from the same race, because of the different opportunities and what needs to be done, there will be differences first, and then there will be estrangement, and when the time is long enough, new species will appear." ”

The president was not confused this time, he vaguely understood that whether it was Ebron or Barbara, it seemed that they were tactfully persuading himself to give up some ideas, so he became serious again, leaned back, and said: "Well, I heard that you used orcas and pseudo-orcas to guard the farmed fish in the Atlantic Floaters, so that they began to have some new changes in behavior like wild dogs subdued by humans, such as pleasing people, being closer to people than wild populations, or something. ”

Barbara continued to observe, and at the same time she raised an eyebrow, and thought to herself: Well, that's amazing.

Eblon nodded with a smile and said, "Yes, that's right, that's also quite convincing evidence, that is to say, human beings have actually been differentiated for a long time, different levels of knowledge, different living habits, etc., etc...... The most obvious example is that the mass death of Indians on the American continent is caused by microorganisms, but it also shows one thing from the side, the humans on the American continent and the humans from the European continent are not the same kind of human beings, but from a certain point of view, they are two kinds of organisms, and the reason why there is no reproductive isolation is just because the time is too short. ”

As a black man, even Mr. President felt uncomfortable listening to Ebron blatantly promoting racial views in front of him, but such things happened throughout his campaign, even before the campaign, so the president neither interrupted Ebron, nor did he keep turning his head like everyone else, and he didn't even change much in the expression on his face - well, there was only a slight hint of continued helplessness.

Emrun smiled and said, "Don't get me wrong, I'm saying this for a reason. As you may know, the ideological basis of cultural diversity advocated by Europe and the Democratic Party actually comes from the field of molecular biology, that is, after the work of cracking human DNA began, based on the study of human DNA, most scientists believe that maintaining the diversity of human DNA will help the development of the entire human race, for example, some people are allergic to bees, while others are allergic to cats and dogs。 ”

This time, the president was surprised, and when this guy was the first to oppose the Democratic Party and the cultural diversity being promoted in Europe, what he said was very reasonable and rational, so looking at the teasing performance of Ebron just now, it is obviously a disguise.

"I'm against diversity," said Ebron, "and in fact you know that the whole of Onclaud, and the Titan you've heard, are against that. Why? It's not because we're conservative, it's because we're thinking that based on DNA convergence, the work of developing drugs for specific human rights will become more efficient, just like in the past, European royalty had hemophilia genes, but if they were forbidden to reproduce because they had this gene, it would be a crime, but if we could develop gene modulation technology for hemophilia genes in a targeted manner, or drugs, obviously they would be very targeted and efficient, and I know you would think it was aristocratic or something, but in fact you also know that we are buying white people from South Africa to fill the bottom of society here, and in our eyes, these people are no different from European aristocrats。 ”

At this time, Barbara brought the black tea she had made, poured a cup for the president, and walked up to Ebrun, who stood up, took Barbara's hand, and sat her down, while she held the back of the chair where Barbara was sitting, and then changed to Barbara and began to speak: " Two hundred years ago, the various sciences were almost completely mixed together, and there was no separation at all, so to speak, at that time, it was very similar to what many people think of as diversity now, of course, we also understand that communication helps to develop faster, but it is undeniable that a hundred years ago, all kinds of disciplines were strictly separated, which is obviously contradictory to the diversity theory, but it shows that the diversity theory is the most prone to self-collapse theory. ”

"......" President was completely confused, he had thought a lot about Barbara and Ebrun specially inviting him to talk, nothing more than hoping that he would not make too many demands, but he really didn't expect that these two people came up to discuss with him this kind of topic closer to the field of philosophy, and most importantly, theoretically speaking, there was no racism in the views of these two people- As I said before, among the upper class, there is no racism, they only have class discrimination, and European and American racism actually comes from the huge middle class.

Of course, that's not to say that the president doesn't understand this, in fact, he's also from the upper class, because he's a senator, not a representative, both in Illinois and in Congress, and the distinction is self-evident.

But there was also something that surprised him, that Ebrun and Barbara were so young that they could explain a theory developed according to Huntington's melting pot theory so convincingly, which surprised the president and sighed a little: no wonder there were so many people at the engagement ceremony of the two.

In a way, it is true that upper-class young talents who do not have such depth of thought could not be the CEOs of companies formed by the various forces of Unclad and—wait, why did Ebron give up her seat to Barbara?

The president found another place where he was negligent, just now, Barbara, as the hostess of afternoon tea, personally prepared tea for the guests without any problem, to be precise, this is in line with "etiquette" Yes, even the British royal family would do this, at most it was a specialist pastry chef who prepared three layers of refreshments, but the discovery that Barbara sat down and Ebron was standing, and this discovery began to make the president rethink the relationship between Emrun and Barbara, and his own relationship with what his advisers thought of Titan and Unclave......
