Chapter 47: The Monkeys
With that, Sebastian reclined back in his chair and crossed his arms over his chest in a relaxed manner, waiting for a response.
He relied on the Hellfire Club to lay out all over the world.
By absorbing the elite from the highest echelons of human society, the Hellfire Club has compiled an all-encompassing net on a global scale.
Sebastian himself, like a vicious spider, is entrenched in the middle of the web.
Thinking of this, his smile brightened brightly, according to his plan, as long as Leon was willing to cooperate and come up with the artificial organ technology he had, he would build a medical system covering the whole world within the predetermined framework.
With the birth, old age, sickness and death of 7 billion human beings, no businessman can resist the temptation of such strange goods, not even this young Chinese man behind his desk.....
"Oh."
Li Ang nodded, spread his hands and said, "You're done?" ”
Sebastian's humble and gentle smile froze.
The weather-beaten middle-aged man scrutinized Leon's expression, analyzing every trace of muscle.
There was no sluggish shock, no admiration, not even the slightest disdain and contempt.
What stays on the other party's face is that it doesn't matter if the wind is light and light.
"Ahem, Mr. Leon, if you are willing to cooperate with us, the economic and political benefits behind this are immeasurable,"
Sebastian hid his heart and said calmly, "The Hellfire Club will help clear all the obstacles for your meme company." ”
"Heh...."
Leon smiled, took out a fountain pen from the pen holder on the table at random, and put it on his fingertips to spin around,
"I wonder if you know anything about primates?"
This abrupt question immediately made Sebastian pull his face down, and Leon's indifferent and arrogant attitude obviously had nothing to do with cooperation.
This contempt in the eyes of no one also made the rest of the Hellfire members look unswerving, standing aside silently, quietly watching the situation.
And the Doctor Octopus, still in the cheerful spirit of watching the excitement, also stood at the edge of the room and watched.
At the same time, he cautiously moved towards the door frame, and was only one step away from snatching the door and calling the guards.
Li Ang raised a finger in his unkind eyes and said with a chuckle: "Primatologists have deliberately set up a scenario mode in order to study the sociology of apes.
In this mode, zoologists would imprison a group of monkeys in a simulated wild environment and distribute thin, ring-shaped pieces of iron to the monkeys every day. ”
"In the beginning, in the eyes of the monkeys, the iron pieces were naturally out-and-out garbage.
Except for the energetic little monkey who will play with the iron piece, the rest of the monkeys will throw away the iron piece without exception and ignore it. ”
"Until one day, the monkeys accidentally discovered that they could get extra food from their usual rations by returning the pieces of iron to the researchers."
The pen in Li Ang's hand turned faster and faster, almost becoming an afterimage.
He looked at Sebastian with a sinking face, and a wicked smile rose on his lips, "Soon, the monkeys will figure out that the iron pieces are equivalent to the value of the food, and they will carefully cherish the iron pieces they distribute every day and not let the other monkeys take them."
However, the Monkey King, who initially wielded force, did not think so.
The Monkey King would forcibly collect iron pieces, resort to violent means against monkeys who refused to hand in them, and even rely on community power to reduce the social status of those monkeys and reduce them to criminals. ”
"However, the monkeys are cunning and will hide the pieces of iron from other monkeys.
In order to deal with this behavior, the Monkey King will specially gather his cronies and distribute iron pieces to them, making him a supervisor, and specially reporting those cunning monkeys who have hidden iron pieces. ”
Leon's unhurried voice echoed through the office.
"Not only that, but as time went on, the monkeys developed more and more iron sheets.
Some monkeys will bribe the monitoring monkeys with a small amount of iron to prevent them from reporting it;
Some monkeys will trade pieces of iron for the services of other monkeys, such as catching lice or even trading surnames;
Even some of the smartest monkeys have learned how to operate at the top of their lungs, exchanging their daily rations for iron flakes from other monkeys when they are not hungry."
"Relying on the hoarding of iron chips, these clever monkeys will hire female monkeys to manipulate the average price of lice and surname trading services in the market, achieve a monopoly in the service industry, and then drive up prices, and harvest and loot other monkeys' iron pieces through economic plunder."
"In the end, these clever monkeys with the most iron pieces succeeded in forming their own forces by bribing other adult male monkeys, and relied on the power of the group to overthrow the hegemonic rule of the Monkey King.
Iron pieces, or capital, have successfully transformed the monkey group from a primitive race into a capitalist society in a very short period of time. ”
Sebastian suddenly dissipated the gloom on his face, spread his hands, and said indifferently: "In this story, those smart monkeys are capitalists like me?" ”
"Hehe, that's not the case, there's more to the story."
Li Angwan smiled and said softly: "Suddenly one day, the iron pieces can no longer be exchanged for food from the researchers, so that the entire monkey clan can return to the original daily ration system, guess what happened?" ”
Sebastian did not answer the question.
"The capitalist society of the monkeys, like a sandcastle built on the seashore, collapsed overnight."
Leon smiled: "The iron pieces hoarded in the hands of the smart monkeys have all become waste, and the Monkey King, who has the highest martial arts, has regained the upper hand, and the entire monkey group has returned to the primitive group state at a faster speed. ”
Sebastian's fingers tapped lightly on the armrests of the seat, and there was no trace of warmth in his eyes.
I don't know if it's an illusion, but in the office with the air conditioner blowing, the temperature suddenly dropped a few points.
The members of Hellfire, who were standing in the corner, silently took half a step forward.
The smile on Doctor Octopus's face vanished, and he pressed against the doorframe, indifferent to the members of the club he had led into.
Li Ang sighed: "I have never denied the truth that capital can accelerate the circulation of social resources.
In my opinion, capital, as an invention, is almost as important as the product of scientific research, and it is a major pillar to promote the progress of human society as a whole. ”
"However, finance, capital, wealth, indulging in these illusions like castles in the sky, will only end up putting oneself in a situation like a caged ape."
Suddenly, the fast-spinning pen stopped, and Leon pointed the tip of the pen at Sebastian and whispered,
"Why should I be alone with you apes?"
