Volume I, Chapter 3, Whose Child, 2116

Chen Guangbiao woke up a month after the operation.

For other patients, awakening is almost the most important thing, which means that the operation is successful, and it is the glory of the doctor and all the experts involved in the operation. But for this patient, waking up can be a nightmare.

If he is no longer him, what next? Kill him? Obviously, no, this "defective product" cannot be treated in this way. If, a month after waking up, he found out that surgery had created "Frankenstein's Frankenstein", how would he explain it to his family? What do you explain to the Xchange Chamber of Commerce?

How to tell if he's still him. Before the operation, Tang Jingtao had already made technical preparations, which was a must. As long as the similarity of the EEG models of the two people before and after the operation is more than 95%, it can be judged that they are the same person, and the experimental data are very reliable.

However, in Chen Guangbiao's body, an accident happened. The similarity of EEG models was only 82.33%, which was lower than 90%!!

Tang Jingtao informed Lawyer Zhao as soon as possible, and at this time, Chen Guangbiao had not woken up, so the surgical team still had time to choose, whether to wait for a Chen Guangbiao who was not Chen Guangbiao to wake up, or let him "fall asleep" forever, and then, announced that the operation had failed.

The similarity of brain waves is less than 95%, and after learning that this is gone, compared to the nervous Tang Jingtao, Lawyer Zhao just hummed. "I'll take care of it, you don't have to worry about it." He said calmly to Tang Jingtao.

……

After confirming that Chen Guangbiao would wake up soon, the attending physician Zhang Weining, Li Shaowei, Tang Jingtao and others all withdrew from the luxurious ward, leaving only lawyer Zhao......

Chen Guangbiao opened his eyes, and he found that lawyer Zhao Wen was the only one present, but he was not surprised, "Is the monitoring all turned off?" Brother Wen. He asked Zhao Wen.

Out of special care for patients, the luxury wards are monitored 24 hours a day by electronic surveillance eyes.

"Mr. Chen, it's all closed." Lawyer Zhao nodded.

At this time, Lawyer Zhao has confirmed that he is still him. Because, if he wasn't him, he wouldn't remember to ask the question of monitoring. He wouldn't recognize Zhao Wen either.

"It's nice that no one else is there." Chen Guangbiao smiled and said to Zhao Wen. Asking others other than Zhao Wen to recuse themselves when they wake up is a prior agreement.

Doctors, nurses, wives and children...... It's all other people.

"Can we let them in now?" After Chen Guangbiao became more sober, Lawyer Zhao asked.

Chen Guangbiao took a deep breath, glanced at the door of the ward, and nodded. Now he needs witnesses to prove that he is still him. The more witnesses, the better.

"Let them all in." Chen Guangbiao added.

"Now they can turn on 24-hour surveillance." He added......

Chen Guangbiao was discharged from the hospital a week later, this was an early discharge, Zhang Weining originally suggested that he recuperate for a month before being discharged, but Chen Guangbiao insisted on being discharged, saying that the Xchange Chamber of Commerce now has urgent matters to deal with, and Zhang Weining did not stop him.

Chen Guangbiao had to meet a group of people, the shareholders of the board, the directors, they were waiting for him. None of them had ever visited him in the hospital, so Chen knew that they were waiting for him to meet them, kneeling in front of them, and begging them not to elect a new president of the chamber of commerce, not to remove him.

Since Chen Guangbiao was admitted to the hospital, the stock prices of the companies under the Chamber of Commerce have been falling, which is caused by the company's executives selling shares, so long before Chen Guangbiao was admitted to the hospital, the board of directors of the Chamber of Commerce has passed the articles of association, if Chen Guangbiao cannot be discharged from the hospital before July 15, 2116, or after being discharged, he is not able to continue to be competent, then the board of directors will elect a new president.

On July 14, the day before the deadline, on the top floor of the xchange building in the T5 Central Business District of TJ City, the headquarters of the Chamber of Commerce, Conference Room 1, Chen Guangbiao held an extraordinary general meeting of shareholders.

Every director had a smile on his face, but Chen knew that there was something else behind the smile. At today's conference, these smiling people are sure to throw out a lot of questions, and if they can't resolve them as effectively as they once did, they will still persuade themselves to "retire" and kick themselves out of the board.

At the beginning of the meeting, the directors first expressed their congratulations on the recovery of Chairman Chen Guangbiao. Of course, at this moment, Chen Guangbiao is still the president of the Chamber of Commerce and the host of this conference, and the initiative is still in his hands.

"Directors," Chen Guangbiao said to everyone, his tone was full of respect, "At today's meeting, I, Chen, will first report to you on the operation of the Chamber of Commerce in the past two years. ”

After that, Chen Guangbiao motioned to Ouyang Meizi, the female secretary standing beside him, to explain the PPT slide. However, just when Ouyang Meizi opened the slide and was about to explain it to everyone, several directors expressed disagreement.

"There's no need for these scripted things, I'll grow up." The directors said.

"The business situation in the past six months has not been very good." Another director complained, "A lot of executives are selling stocks. This man glanced at Chen Guangbiao with ill intentions when he spoke.

Chen Guangbiao remembered that just half a year ago, just before he was admitted to the hospital, it was this person who proposed that Chen Guangbiao temporarily hand over the power to a well-known professional manager in the industry, and borrow this person's fame to stabilize people's hearts.

But Chen Guangbiao didn't agree at that time, because, if he knew, it was just a cover. Give the power to a puppet, and then, let these mercenary, rat-eyed people run the Chamber of Commerce, and the Chamber of Commerce will only collapse faster, and maybe, it has now been broken up and sold at a cheap price.

These people are all investors of the Chen Guangbiao Chamber of Commerce, and they invest for money, and benevolence, righteousness and morality are not considered. Although Chen Guangbiao himself is now the largest funder of the chamber of commerce, his own funds still account for only 40% of the total amount of the chamber of commerce, and he cannot afford to lose the 60% support.

Even if 10% of the funds are siphoned off, it is very detrimental to the chamber of commerce and will accelerate the decline of the chamber of commerce.

They believe that the decline of the chamber of commerce is irreversible, but Chen Guangbiao will never let people take the lead in withdrawing investment, once someone takes the lead, others will follow suit, and once the trend is formed, it is really irreversible.

"If today's meeting still doesn't produce anything substantive, divestment is inevitable." One of the directors spoke his mind, and his tone was very sincere, "Actually, everyone does not want to see the Chamber of Commerce fall into a pessimistic outlook, and in the Chamber of Commerce, it is you who pay the most, which is recognized by everyone." However, it is really a pity that the peak of the Chamber of Commerce has passed. ”

Chen Guangbiao stood up and walked to the window, he felt that he was standing at the peak, standing above the clouds, the peak of the mountain. The meeting room is located on the top floor of the building, on the 301st floor, about 950 meters high. This height greatly surpasses the Burj Khalifa in Dubai in the 21st century.

Chen Guangbiao looked at the scenery outside the window, the city outside the window, he could have overlooked the city at this height, but the haze was too heavy and he couldn't see anything, this feeling was like standing on a gray sea of clouds. In the sea of clouds, only a few buildings can show the spire, proving the existence of the city and the T5 CBD. However, the buildings that can emerge from the smog are far lower than the building where Chen Guangbiao is located, so Chen Guangbiao feels that they are all trampled under his feet.

The XCHANGE Chamber of Commerce rose in the midst of smog, and in the last 10 years, it has risen rapidly. Just like the Xchange Tower, it emerged from the clouds almost overnight, standing between the forest of commercial buildings and looking down on all the other commercial buildings.

Chen Guangbiao enjoyed this feeling. "There is no obstacle that cannot be overcome, gentlemen." He turned to the directors behind him and said, "Like the Xchange Building, our business empire won't be brought down by a breeze. ”

The directors were expressionless, as if neither the breeze nor the wind could blow a smile on their faces.

"The wind released by the national political axe is no longer a breeze." One director said, "The inflow of money into the environmental industry is no longer a fake data, the speculation period has passed." ”

"I'm afraid that this wind will not only blow down xchange, but all the chambers of commerce that started from the smog may suffer." Another director said.

Chen Guangbiao smiled: But of course, I remember that for more than 100 years, country C has been advocating the "smog removal plan", the purpose of which is to eliminate smog and seek the coordinated development of human civilization and the natural environment.

Although there is still a deep smog outside the window, in 2076, that is, about 40 years ago, the promotion of clean energy has achieved miraculous results, and the clear water and blue sky of country C have indeed reappeared. However, the good times did not last long, and country A felt threatened, and as a traditional energy giant and global hegemon, country A began to manipulate the prices of traditional energy such as oil, and declared a war between traditional energy and clean energy.

The internationalization of clean energy has become difficult from this point on, and the cost has not been reduced for a long time, which has eventually led to today's smog recurrence.

"Clean energy will rise again, and the government is now proposing the largest interest-free loan project in 50 years," said one director, "but the vast majority of the chamber's business will be affected." ”

Chen Guangbiao knew that the director was right, and the xchange chamber of commerce was indeed deeply trapped in the benefits brought by the haze. If it cannot be deeply rooted in the soil of interests, where will there be the savage growth of xchange in the past ten years, and where will there be today's towering trees?

The business of the XCHANGE Chamber of Commerce can be said to be big, deep-rooted, and leafy, involving a wide range of fields. Its main business scope includes: cloud apartment, virtual fantasy, haze radar, and genetic medicine.

As Chen Guangbiao and the board of directors are well aware, "cloud apartments" are the core business of the chamber. As a real estate business, the return of "cloud apartments" is naturally the most lucrative, especially in the densely populated country C. The suites sold by "Cloud Apartments" are generally more than 200 storeys high, while the "smog floor" is generally below 200 storeys (about 600 meters high). Living in a high-rise residence with more than 200 floors high, you can not only enjoy the blue sky and white clouds, but also look down on the sea of clouds formed by the haze, giving people a wonderful feeling of being in the clouds of the heavenly palace. As advertised in the Cloud Apartments: Cloud Apartments, Sky City.

If there are no business opportunities brought by the smog, the cloud apartment will no longer exist, and the profit of the xchange chamber of commerce will plummet by more than 40%, reducing by nearly 200 billion C yuan per year.

Naturally, if there is no haze, another business of the Xchange Chamber of Commerce, the "virtual illusion" will also cease to exist, becoming a real illusion, illusion, fantasy, and eventually disillusionment.

The "Virtual Fantasy" service can simulate green mountains and clear waters, blue skies and white clouds for people living in haze. As soon as people living in the "virtual fantasy" return home, as long as the "virtual fantasy" is activated, the walls, ceilings and floors in the house will show holographic 3D images, allowing people to live in virtual light and shadow.

Although it is not the most lucrative business, like the "cloud apartment", "virtual fantasy" has also brought a lot of profits to the Xchange Chamber of Commerce. Chen Guangbiao has read the analysis submitted by Secretary Ouyang, and with the advancement of the "smog removal plan", the business will also decline by 15% per year.

In addition to the "Cloud Apartment" and "Virtual Fantasy", the Xchange Chamber of Commerce also operates the "Zero Smog Park". If the "smog removal plan" is successful, and there is zero haze all over the country, then what is the value of the "zero haze park" of the Xchange Chamber of Commerce?

Similarly, if the "smog removal plan" is successful, the "smog radar" operated by the Xchange Chamber of Commerce will also be obsolete by the times. "Haze radar" has long occupied the high-end market of on-board radar and airborne radar, bringing huge profits to the Xchange Chamber of Commerce.

This huge profit comes from the power of the "haze radar" function, which can achieve accurate navigation and guidance for autonomous driving even in heavy haze weather with visibility of only one meter. The powerful function of the "haze radar" naturally comes from the Xchange Chamber of Commerce's own commercial satellites. Own satellites, as of 2101, has been launched 6, the total investment of about 120 billion C yuan, at present, due to the high investment in commercial satellites, the Xchange Chamber of Commerce in the "haze radar" market investment costs have not been fully recovered, so, if the "smog removal plan" is successful, this may be one of the most loss-making projects in the history of the Xchange Chamber of Commerce.

With the improvement of the environment and the subsidence of haze, the number of mutants and the mutated genes they bring will also decrease sharply, and the gene drug market can maintain market share, but profits will not be guaranteed.

"At present, there are still 10 years of good time for 'cloud apartments', there are many real estate projects across the country, and it takes time to ship, and now I suggest that you can start to gradually change hands." A director said.

"Those 6 satellites, the current technology is not backward, and they can still be sold." Another director said.

Other directors also expressed their opinions, and the specific content of their opinions varied, but they all summed up in one sentence: the cash cow is about to fall, and the tree is falling and scattering.

Chen Guangbiao pondered for a while and agreed with everyone's opinion.

"It's good, it's good." He said with a smile.

Chen Guangbiao's statement so quickly attracted the puzzled eyes of the directors. He is the founder of the big tree Xchange, and now that he is going to cut down the tree, he should be the most heart-wrenching person, and he should not be so indifferent.

"In order to promote the 'anti-smog plan', didn't Zhengaxe provide a large number of interest-free loans to support this plan? Isn't it encouraging companies to participate? Chen Guangbiao said with a smile, "Of course, we also have to participate in the 'smog removal plan'!" ”

Oh, not only not to oppose the "smog removal plan", but also to actively participate in it? Isn't this the equivalent of cutting off your own head with a knife yourself? Among the directors present, some people showed such a look.

"Grown-ups can't be serious, are they? Isn't this suicidal act? One of the directors laughed.

Chen Guangbiao did not speak.

At this time, Ouyang Meizi brought coffee to Chen Guangbiao and the directors.

"With a spoon, stir it, use some force!" Chen Guangbiao drank coffee and looked around at the directors. He stirred the coffee in his cup with a delicate little spoon to melt the milk and sugar in the coffee.

The people present looked at Chen Guangbiao and then at the coffee in their hands, and after a while, they all understood what he meant: if they don't participate in it, how can they "stir it up"?

Several directors began to exchange glances and exchange ears.

"So what do you mean that we should register a company, participate in the 'smog removal plan', and go in and stir up trouble?" A director asked, wanting to confirm what Mr. Chen meant.

"Of course, you have to register a company, register a large number of companies to participate," Chen Guangbiao said confidently, "but not in the name of the Xchange Chamber of Commerce." These companies can't have anything to do with the Xchange Chamber of Commerce because ...... These companies will all be the 'enemies' of the Xchange Chamber of Commerce. ”

"The more loans we control for interest-free loans, the fewer loans will be given to those companies that really want to participate...... one of the directors said to himself, exchanging views with those around him. Everyone else nodded their heads in agreement.

"We can take a stake in and control some small companies...... "Yes, yes, we have the strength." "You can also ask for some help from foreign-funded enterprises in country A...... "The energy giants of country A are likely to be on our side......"

The quiet venue gradually became lively.

"It seems," an older director gave a thumbs up: "Chen Guangbiao is still the same Chen Guangbiao!" ”

After the extraordinary meeting on July 14, 2116, Chen Guangbiao attended several important meetings of the Chamber of Commerce, and a month later, the stock price of the relevant stocks of the XCHANGE Chamber of Commerce stabilized and recovered, with good results. Chen Guangbiao decided to recuperate for a week.

But at this moment, Director Jiang Li of the TJ Municipal Bureau of Commerce was a phone call on the left and an email on the right, and he must meet Chen Guangbiao. Chen Guangbiao knew that Jiang Li's trip, nominally, was to be a lobbyist for the "Team Haze Plan" and persuade the majority of entrepreneurs to follow the right strategy, but in private, this guy came to inquire about "immigration information".

Country C is seriously polluted, and many people have the idea of immigrating to developed countries. However, the cost of immigration is so high today that, in general, it is impossible for ordinary people to have such financial power. Therefore, Jiang Li has always wanted to find Chen Guangbiao to get a few places, even if it is the kind of black market quota that is half smuggling and half immigrant, as long as he can send his son abroad.

Pity the hearts of parents all over the world, Chen Guangbiao also has children, he can understand Jiang Li's feelings, if it weren't for the fact that a large number of business activities are in China, if it weren't for the president of the xchange Chamber of Commerce, Chen Guangbiao himself and his family might have immigrated long ago.

Chen Guangbiao met with Jiang Li, and sure enough, Jiang Li quickly mentioned the matter of immigration.

(Immigration is really important!) After meeting with Jiang Li, Chen Guangbiao once again felt that he had released a large amount of immigration application information on the Internet through private channels, and through the statistics and analysis of the number and number of online applications, he had been calculating the determination and influence of the "anti-smog plan".

If more people believe in the "anti-smog plan", fewer people will apply for immigration. This statistical and analytical data has always been very valuable, and no one else on the XCHANGE board has access to it.

On August 18, 2116, shortly after meeting with Jiang Li, Chen Guangbiao received a phone call from Dr. Tang Jingtao. On the phone, Tang Jingtao mentioned a new gadget called a "stand-in robot", saying that it can go out to run errands instead of people in hazy weather. Chen Guangbiao really hopes to find a stand-in to stay in China and immigrate abroad, but he has always thought that these "high-tech" are just toys.

In order to maintain a face-saving relationship with Tang Jingtao, Chen Guangbiao still ordered a robot. More than 1 million C yuan a unit, however, this amount of money is nothing to him.

After paying the deposit online, he suddenly asked Tang Jingtao about immigration. In fact, Chen Guangbiao has always been interested in understanding the views of elites like Dr. Tang and the class he represents on immigration. He wondered if even the elite of country C were bent on immigration, how high would the success rate of the "anti-smog plan" be?

Tang Jingtao said that the experts of country C are not too competitive abroad, and he has no plans to immigrate at present.

Chen Guangbiao felt that he had been poured a basin of cold water on him, and the call was not as pleasant as he imagined. (Dr. Tang, maybe you really are a person with strong beliefs.) Chen Guangbiao thought.

Suddenly, a headache struck, and Chen Guangbiao almost didn't fall to the ground...... Chen Guangbiao was very nervous - this is not an ordinary headache - when he was discharged from the hospital, the attending physician Zhang Weining told him that if he had a headache, he should immediately call Zhang Weining himself.

So, he had to hang up the call with Tang Jingtao.

Just before Chen Guangbiao dialed Zhang Weining's phone, he suddenly felt a headache again, and his head seemed to explode. Then, Chen Guangbiao's eyes darkened, his head sank, and he fell to the ground.

In his confusion, a memory began to emerge in his mind, and this memory ...... It's not Chen Guangbiao's memory.

"Child, my child ......" Chen Guangbiao muttered in his mouth, and in a semi-comatose state, Chen Guangbiao entered this memory.

From a first-person perspective, he saw his own hands, and saw the mirror image of himself reflected by the glass door, but the person in the mirror image was not himself, and the mirror image reflected by the glass door was not himself from head to toe, but another person, a man dressed as a peasant, dressed rusticly, with a wrinkled face and a scorched face.

Next to him, there was a woman who called herself "Daddy Child".

I and the woman secretly put a child at the door of the hospital, but the child was smiling at him, smiling so innocently and cutely......

(Why am I wearing such rustic clothes?) ）

(I took a car with this woman from my hometown to this city from the countryside just to leave this child here?) ）

(Don't throw the child down, this child is so cute, is it because of the child's face...... ）

(Why, the child's face looks somewhat deformed, somewhat asymmetrical...... ）

(He is...... Mutants? ）

After Chen Guangbiao woke up, he found that he was still in the same place, and he collapsed next to the sofa, he raised his wrist and looked at his watch: he had not fainted for too long.

He took out his mobile phone again and wanted to dial Zhang Weining's number. However, he hesitated, and he did not do it in the end, because Chen Guangbiao knew that it was none of the doctor's business, and at that time, in order to survive, he had no choice.

"It's impossible to just change the brain, so we have to do a large-scale plastic surgery for the whole body, appearance, height and weight, everything ......" Chen Guangbiao's words came to mind again, "I asked Tang Jingtao, and he said that in theory, in the new body, the old consciousness has been killed, and it will not awaken again, and it is safe." We will destroy your original body, and the DNA verification of your new body can only be said later. ”

(Old consciousness won't awaken again?) Chen Guangbiao lay weakly on the sofa, (So, why do I want to see the child in my dreams again?) I didn't feel this way before! ）

The pain and remorse of "from another person" lingered in Chen Guangbiao's heart. He knew that it was not his memory, reason was supreme, money was omnipotent was his motto, and his rich emotions were suppressed and frozen under the motto, and he had never and could not have mercy on any mutant, whether it was an adult or a child. However, at this moment, he curled up on the sofa, weeping bitterly, and there was only one thought in his heart:

He just wanted to get the kid back.
