Chapter 200: The Individual and the Macro

Parker has a strengthened brain and eyesight, so he can read contracts much faster than ordinary people

That's why Parker has a strange expression.

"Khan, I read this contract, and to be honest I don't believe it."

"Not convinced? You mean this contract is fake? ”

Parker shook his head.

"Although I have never had a formal job, I have worked a lot part-time, and I have seen a lot of contracts, and your contract is definitely a valid contract from the perspective of the format, but the terms above are ......"

"Is there a problem with the terms? I asked our company's legal department to take great pains to write it, is there any mistake or overlord clause in it? ”

"It's not an overlord clause, but it's unreasonable, to put it bluntly, this contract is like giving money for nothing, Khan I'm poor, but I will never ask for other people's handouts, so you better take it back."

"Alms? Do you think this contract is a handout? Hahahaha......"

Wang Khan was directly amused, and looked at Gwen while laughing, Gwen shook his head slightly and spoke.

"Peter Parker, you probably went to college too, right? I seem to have seen your name in the alumni directory of Columbia University. ”

Parker nodded, he did go to a colonel, but unfortunately he had to suspend school later, not because of his poor academic performance, as a modified person, his intelligence is far beyond ordinary people, not to mention that Parker's genes are already very good, even if he doesn't become Spider-Man, he can become a very accomplished scientist, and the general university course can't make it difficult for him at all.

The reason for taking a break from school is that there is no money, universities in beautiful countries are not cheap, especially prestigious schools, unless you can get a full scholarship, or you have a mine at home, otherwise, almost all college students have to apply for student loans, and there are many college graduates who have worked for decades and have not been able to pay off their student loans.

Second, he wanted to be Spider-Man, which made him miss a lot of classes, and he couldn't graduate at all, so he had to take a leave of absence in the end, and I have to say that Parker sacrificed a lot of things for the saying "the greater the ability, the greater the responsibility".

"Since you went to college, you should have taken a course in economics, right? I'm going to test you, Parker, what is the most important thing about economic development? ”

Parker thought about it and felt that there were many answers to this question, and if he did, he felt that he might not be able to answer a comprehensive answer in a single paper.

"We must have fist products, core technology, output, and sales......

Gwen interrupted Parker with a wave of her hand.

"You're saying that these are ways to increase economic profits, and these are not a problem for the current umbrella. I know why you say this contract is a handout, because it doesn't fit the capitalist model of operation, our company pays you a lot every month and doesn't ask you to do anything, so you don't think it's normal, right? ”

Parker nodded slightly, it was as if a company came to the door and said, "From now on, you don't have to do anything every month, you can sleep every day, and then the company will give you a salary of 1 million dollars every month!" ”

At first glance, it is indeed a handout, and the amount of money in the handout is quite large, which can be comparable to the senior executives of large companies.

"If you are an ordinary person, then this contract is indeed a handout, but you are not, you are a good neighbor in New York, a world-famous Spider-Man, and most importantly, you are a hero who takes helping the weak as his life mission, even if we don't ask for anything, you will maintain the peace of the community, right?"

Parker nodded again, incredibly sure that no matter what happened, he was Spider-Man and would not allow any crime to happen in front of his eyes.

"That's it, as long as you continue to be Spider-Man, it will be a big profit for our company, and you only need to pay a price of 1 million US dollars a month for this, which is really nothing."

Parker still doesn't understand, or all those who have been brainwashed by Western capitalism won't understand, that there is still money to be taken as a vigilante? This is too inconsistent with capitalist values.

Even if some organizations also fund superpowers, it is not to let superpowers become vigilantes, but to become thugs and bodyguards of capital. And it's definitely not like this, you don't have to do anything, you just need to maintain the status quo.

Seeing that Parker still didn't understand, Wang Khan secretly lamented that the poison of capitalism was really very high, and he had to speak.

"Parker, what do you think Umbrella Corporation means to New York?"

"This ...... Your company is equivalent to the king of New York, I'm afraid the city government will be controlled by you, right? ”

"Haha, do you really dare to say that the current mayor is my future father-in-law, are you provoking a relationship between me and my fiancΓ©e?"

Gwen blushed, and Parker quickly shook his hand.

"I didn't mean that, I just ......"

"Okay, in fact, you are not wrong, the current New York is indeed the umbrella company that has the final say, and the umbrella company is equivalent to the actual manager here, since it is a manager, then everything can not only look at the immediate interests, but to think about the problem from a more macro perspective. Since it is macro, for the economy of a city, good security and stability are the most important things. ”

"If it's still like New York in the past, there will be a wave of gangster shootouts on the streets at two ends in three days, and there will be underworld forces entrenched in various communities, it will greatly affect the image of New York and hit the confidence of investors, after all, no serious businessman will do business in a city where the personal safety of citizens is not even guaranteed."

"And the police are bound by the law in many cases, so it's okay for them to fight criminals, but in the face of gangsters who are good at exploiting loopholes in the law, they have nowhere to go, and you don't have to care about that."

"As long as you are sure that they are engaged in criminal activities, you can just fight them, and if something happens, Umbrella will send the best team of lawyers to help you fight the lawsuit, you just need to stick to your previous style. From an individual point of view, this contract of yours seems to have suffered a big loss for our company, but if you look at it from a macro point of view, it is actually us who has made a lot of money, now you understand, right? ”

As smart as Parker, he has now completely understood, in fact, this simple truth makes sense, and the reason why Parker just couldn't figure it out is that it is completely a private enterprise in a capitalist country that has never done such a thing.

Not even a private enterprise, even many government agencies only focus on profits, similar to the issue of fines and bonuses, it has long been a common phenomenon, and there is no such thing as spending money to support vigilantes.

After understanding all this, Parker did not refuse, and decisively signed his name on the contract, after all, Parker is not a saint, he now has an aunt to support, and a girlfriend by his side, if he only relies on part-time work to make a living, it is too hard.

As the saying goes, money is a hero's courage, and you still want to be a hero if you don't have money? Why is Iron Man the most popular in the Avengers, and it's not because people are rich?!

Now that such a good opportunity is in front of him, Parker is not stupid, so he naturally will not refuse.

Sending the Parker family away, Gwen whispered, "You're really not going to capture him?" ”

"There's no need for that, I've already gotten the spider serum, there's no need to bother Parker anymore. Besides, a person can become a hero, not only relying on super power, but more importantly, the spirit of self-sacrifice, in this regard, Parker is worth learning from everyone, I just don't want this rare heroic fire to be extinguished by the cold wind of reality. ”

As he was talking, the voice of the red queen came.

"Guardians, Natasha and Mariah Hill have gone to contact Steve Rogers."

As soon as Wang Khan heard this, he knew that the three aerospace aircraft carriers were about to take off, and Washington, which had just experienced the war not long ago, was about to be unlucky again.
