Chapter subtitle: SCP Officially Established...... There should be a ticket here!

…………………………………………………………

Thursday, April 28, 1921 at noon.

In the living room of the luxurious apartment that John McCall lent to Yuan Yanqi, "His Majesty the Emperor", who seemed to have gained a little weight recently, was curled up in the sofa.

Master Yuan's personal lawyer has a very good brain, and his courage is not small, otherwise he would not have joined the SCP Foundation to make the world more listened.

But seriously, Mr. Victor Aiden, who is now in the same room as him, does look a little scary.

Our Mr. "Sword 10" was originally very tough, tall and strong, and the appearance of the whole person was very powerful. It's no wonder he's been used in law enforcement agencies like the Army Gendarmerie, the Texas Rangers, and the BOI.

At this time, he must have not shaved his beard in days, and probably hadn't slept much, and his messy beard and red eyes made him look even more vicious.

And he didn't stop since he entered the house, walking around the living room with his hands behind his back, looking up at the floor clock from time to time, how to look at how anxious he looked.

This, of course, made Mr. McCall feel furious, and he always felt like he was in the same cage as a beast on the verge of exploding.

He didn't even dare to breathe for a while, let alone say hello.

"Bell...... Clang...... Clang! ”

When the bell rang, it was noon.

General ZOD's expression changed, and a pair of selective eyes turned to Mr. McCall, causing the latter to beat a spirit.

I only heard the "Sword 10" and asked: "You say, is that Chinese not coming back today?!" He...... No, did you two lie to me again?! ”

That's right, at that time, these two put Victor Aiden in the interrogation room of the New York Metropolitan Police Department, so that he couldn't get along in the BOI, so he had to resign and go to the Pinkerton Detective Agency.

"His Majesty the Emperor" swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said, "This and that...... Mr. Aiden, please rest assured. Neo called me yesterday and asked me to come here and wait for him at this time, he doesn't necessarily lie to me, does he? ”

"Hehe, who knows?" Mr. Aiden, who was on the verge of collapse, sneered and said, "Maybe that Chinese is letting you drag me and let him get out of it himself." ”

"No, no, no." The personal lawyer of "that Chinese" shook his head like a rattle and said, "Mr. Aiden, you don't know Neo well enough, he's a gentleman of his word......"

He said in his heart, "It should be."

Anyway, since he knew Master Yuan, that guy did what he said, and no matter how unbelievable what he said, it turned out that he did it.

Thinking of this, Mr. McCall was a little more confident, his face was certain, his waist straightened, and he said calmly: "Mr. Aiden, I know that you have now joined our SCP Foundation, and you have also seen the extraordinary things of 'Lord Fool'. Then you should know that we ......"

"It's you, not us!" GENERAL ZOD REPLIED IMPATIENTLY, "UNLIKE YOU RICH KIDS WHO HAVE ENOUGH TO EAT AND NOTHING TO DO, I WAS FORCED! ”

"Who was forced?"

When the two of them heard the sound, our Master Yuan was standing at the door of the living room, playing with a pair of leather gloves in his hand, and looking at them with a smile.

"You ......"

Without waiting for Mr. Aiden to speak, Mr. McCall, who was under amnesty, jumped up from the couch and walked three steps in two steps to his large client.

Finally regaining his sense of security, he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Neo, you're finally back!" ”

"yes, I'm back." Yuan Yanqian nodded to him, sighed and said, "After two days of sitting on the night train, it really exhausted me and starved me to death......

"By the way, have you had lunch?" Without waiting for the two of them to answer, he shouted loudly, "Sister Lian, Sister Lian! ”

When his cook heard this, she came out: "Uncle, what's the matter?" ”

Master Yuan opened his mouth and instructed, "Sister Lian, prepare lunch for me, these two guests, and Xiaokang." ”

"Mr. Yuan......" Mr. Aiden calmed down and walked up and said anxiously, "I really don't have the heart to eat lunch." And you promised me......"

"Victor, I promised you that I would heal you in three days." Yuan Yanqian raised his hand and pointed out the window and said, "But it's only noon, and your wife won't die right away, so we'll talk about it after we have lunch!" ”

"This ......" General ZOD was more and more wary of this Chinese in his heart, especially when he saw his black eyes, he nodded involuntarily and said, "Mr. Yuan, listen to you." ”

"That's right!" Master Yuan patted him on the shoulder, pointed to the sofa and said, "Please sit down first, I will ask you a small favor later." ”

He remembered something, turned to the driver behind him and said, "Xiaokang, don't go, you have to contribute to that little favor." ”

"Yes, Second Master."

Yuan Yanqian then asked his personal lawyer, "John, have you done everything I asked you to do?" ”

"Of course." McCall took out a document from his purse and said, "The SCP Foundation has approved the articles of organization, which are based on your opinions. ”

That's right, the SCP Foundation in the mouth of the "Fool" is still a non-existent thing, but as the acting director of the North American branch, Yuan Yanqian naturally wants to establish a real foundation.

“Very Good！” He took it and flipped through it, then handed it to Sword 10 and said, "Look at it, Mr. Aiden." After all, you're a member of our SCP Foundation now. ”

"Hmm...... All right. General ZOD, who had no interest in this, had no choice but to look helplessly at his insistence.

What is a Foundation?

First of all, since it is called a foundation, as the name suggests, it is an institution that specializes in the management of special funds and grants.

Secondly, foundations are non-profit organizations, and most of them are non-profit organizations.

Finally, the purpose of the foundation is to carry out some kind of public welfare cause. It can promote scientific exploration, fund the humanities and arts, and provide social welfare assistance.

In fact, this thing has been around for a long time, but its mature development was in the United States, where Master Yuan lived, especially after entering the twentieth century, various foundations began to flourish.

The Carnegie Foundation and the Rockefeller Foundation, founded in 1900, are two of the most well-known of the earliest foundations.

Founded in 1936, the Ford Foundation is the largest foundation in the world with billions of dollars.

And in 1982, the famous Democracy Foundation was founded. The full name of this foundation is The National Endoment for Democracy.

The Democracy Foundation is the "leading leader" of non-governmental organizations in the United States, and it belongs to the non-governmental organizations with government background, and its status is quite special.

It was founded in direct descending from Archmarisher Reagan's speech to the British Parliament, in which he proposed that Western powers co-fund the democratic construction of "non-democracies," including free media, trade unions, political parties, and universities.

The Endowment for Democracy has a lot of "care" for Serisna. Among all Asian countries, NED has the largest number of funding projects for China, which are divided into four parts: "China", "China (Hong Kong)", "China (Plateau)" and "China (Western Regions)", which shows that it attaches great importance to "promoting" "democracy" and "freedom" in Seris.

By the way, in addition to NED, there is also a foundation that is very concerned about the democratic process around the world, and that is the Open Society Foundations (OSF) established by Soros.

Just listen to the name, Open Society, and you will know how open this foundation is. What was the Charter 77 movement in Czechoslovakia, what was the Polish Solidarity Guild and the "Big Bang Reform" (the big wave version of shock therapy), what was the Ukrainian independence movement...... OSF has intervened, no wonder Soros is not well received in his hometown of Eastern Europe.

By the way, the term "open society" comes from "Developing Society and Its Enemies", which is one of the three must-reads for beginners.

The book's author, Karl Raimund Popper (1902-1994), is a fellow of Yuan's classmates.

If mathematics is the mother of natural science, it is impossible to give birth to the physical and chemical disciplines that quantitatively analyze natural phenomena without the womb of mathematics; Then philosophy is the father of the humanities, and all the humanities and the schools that underlie these sciences carry some kind of philosophical DNA.

So in this sense, the Austrian school to which Yuan belongs is actually the branch of economics of the Vienna Circle (also known as the Vienna Group).

The Vienna School, formed in the twenties of the twentieth century, has two main propositions: first, it rejects metaphysics and believes that experience is the only reliable source of knowledge; Second, it is only through the application of logical analysis that the problems of traditional philosophy can be finally solved.

In short, reason comes first...... No, absolute reason is paramount!

Popper was one of the important members of the Vienna School, and his book was a critique of the "irrational" Plato, Hegel and Marx.

In his view, the "utopia" that these three people wanted to create was the source of modern totalitarian philosophy. He believes that the construction of human society should adopt the method of "sporadic social engineering". From utopia to sporadic projects, it is the process of human beings returning from romance to rationality.

To put it simply, it means that the earth-shaking general social revolution is not necessary, and it is only necessary to improve the individual social systems in an orderly and gradual manner.

It's a bit far-fetched, you must know that under the care of the master ball system, it is still a question whether Yuan Yanqian can deal deeply with the princes of the Vienna School in the future.

Anyway, with such a glorious example, as a loved Seris, Lord Fool naturally wants to repay the favor and "promote" the cause of "justice" in the world.

So, remember this date because it starts on April 28, 1921...... To be more precise, since Yuan Yanqi came to this world, human civilization will definitely become more and more "just"!

It's a pity that everyone present is not aware enough to realize that this day is so important.

"John, what about one more thing?" Yuan Yanqian turned her head and asked.

"Oh, that's what you said......" His personal lawyer nodded, pulling out another file.

However, Mr. McCall did not hand it to Master Yuan immediately, and asked with a suspicious look on his face, "Neo, why do you want me to help you prepare a will?" ”

Yuan Yanqian took his will and said calmly: "My friend, even if it is a man like me......"

"I'm just a mortal," he modestly said, "and I'm going to see God or something someday...... Well, other indescribable existences. So what's wrong with doing some preparation in advance? ”

"But......" his lawyer thought for a moment, leaned closer and lowered his voice, "Neo, but are you going to donate all your possessions and even those copyrights to the SCP Foundation after you die, and not even a single one to your family?" ”

Yuan Yanqian looked at the will and said lightly: "John, speaking of my family, if I can't die, don't worry about it, if I die...... Then I can't take care of them. ”、

After reading it hastily, he took out a golden pen and signed his name on the will.

"Mr. Victor Eden, and Mr. Condor, then you two will be witnesses to the will, and sign your names."

GENERAL ZOD DIDN'T MIND AND STEPPED FORWARD TO SIGN HIS NAME.

But Xiaokang said with an embarrassed face: "Second master, this matter ...... How can I be a witness as a driver? ”

"Hahaha, Xiaokang, you, you, you......"

Master Yuan smiled and shook his head, this time he said to Detective Pinkerton, "Mr. Aiden, what did I tell you about last time?" ”

"Sword 10" glanced at Xiaokang and took out a document from the inner pocket of his suit.

Yuan Yanqian took the document but didn't open it, and directly hugged his driver's shoulder and said, "Come, Xiaokang, let's go to the study to talk a few words......"

Within a quarter of an hour, the two Seris were back in the living room.

"Gentlemen, welcome to our new members of the SCP Foundation......" "Lord Fool" pointed to the new members, "Mr. Sword 8!"

The sword naturally represents force, and 8 ...... Don't Cantonese people like this number?

He slapped his hands and motioned to the other two old members, "Gentlemen, applaud! ”

"His Majesty the Emperor" and "Sword 10" looked at the dizzy "Sword 8" and sympathized...... The one applauded enthusiastically.

They don't need to ask to know that the new member was either "fooled" or "coerced".

"Smack, smack, slap......"

“STOP！”

"Alright, Sword 8." Yuan Yanqian handed her will and pen to Xiaokang, and said softly, "My brother, now you are qualified to be a witness." Then please sign it. ”

Driver Kang, who has not recovered until now, signed his name on the will like a marionette.

“Perfect！”

"Gentlemen, it's a good day." Our Master Yuan said happily: "To congratulate us on the official establishment of the SCP Foundation......"

"To welcome our new good brother ......"

"By the way, in order to wish me death, we should have a drink!"

John McCall couldn't help but ask out loud, "Wait a minute, Neo." What did you just say? ”

Yuan Yan, who walked to the wine cabinet to pour wine, replied casually without looking back: "I just said that we should have a drink." ”

The private lawyer shook his head and said, "No, no, no. Neo, it's the previous sentence! ”

"John, you said that. I'm glad to inform you that there are still the two of you, and I'm going to ...... soon."

Our Master Yuan turned around, handed three glasses of wine to the three gentlemen in the living room, and then smiled and said, "Die, die!" ”

"GENTLEMEN, CHERRS!"
