Chapter 360: Corporate Supremacy
O'Bernard-Lionheart, four-star rescuer.
At the age of six, he was recommended to enter the military academy of the seventh district, during which he had excellent grades and performed well in actual combat tasks many times.
O'Bernard is his original name, and Lionheart is the company's logo, and O'Bernard's followers can recognize the strength of Lionheart through "Lionheart".
In Song Lan's understanding, in 2020, this is no different from advertising on the players' uniforms in companies, but in 2166, they have been able to put advertisements and trademarks in other people's names.
It only took a few minutes for Dr. Shiraku to find out all the information about O'Bernard.
The prosthetic transformation degree is 52%, and the whole body is a product of Lionheart's military industry.
In other words, even O'Bernard himself is a product of the company.
Another thing he didn't expect was that O'Bernard and Lu Xiang were alumni, and there were more than a dozen sessions between them.
Old...... Lu was also the first graduate of their class, but because of his lack of ideological awareness, he did not become a corporate supremacist and sold himself to the company and almost became unemployed.
"What does this corporate supremacist mean?"
He found a peculiar description in the narrative text, an idea he had never heard of.
"As the name suggests, eliminate personal gains and losses, take all the interests of the company as the starting point, and when necessary, be willing to sacrifice your life for the interests of the company."
Maydell answered Song Lan's question.
"And such fanatics?"
"Yes, and in the company, there are many people similar to O'Berner, they were born at the bottom of society, the company excavated them, changed their lives, for them the company is no different from the reborn parents, many of the company's high-level bodyguards are selected through this system, they are not only extremely outstanding in ability, but also willing to give up their lives in order to survive the company's top management in dangerous moments."
Corporate supremacy is not a dogma, but an idea that is universally accepted in large corporations.
"I once had contact with the personal bodyguard of the big boss of Yungang Biopharmaceutical, and she said that the happiest moment of her life was when the big boss invited her to lunch when he was out."
Even after a few years, the bodyguard still remembered every detail of the lunch, and the excited expression on her face when she spoke made Maydell feel a little frightened, because in her opinion, the bodyguard and the big boss seemed to have become two different species, almost the worship of the superior creatures of the lower classes.
"At that moment, I realized the dangers of corporate supremacy."
Medell felt that she might have to thank the bodyguards around the big boss, because before that, she was also a corporate supremacist, "I should have taken the initiative to take responsibility for the accident in the 'outside' laboratory and accepted the trial of the council and the company, but I changed my mind. ”
"Congratulations on coming out of the poison of corporate supremacy."
The joys and sorrows of people are not the same, and Song Lan can't empathize with the determination of those people to go to the trouble for the company, and if the company puts forward non-specific requirements for him, he will choose to resign.
"I have a new credo."
Maydell said seriously, "I believe in swarm supremacy now. ”
“…… I don't think you can believe in any isms. ”
"This is what drives us forward, and if you're interested, I can give you a detailed account of the superiority of swarm supremacy."
"Next time, next time."
Song Lan hurriedly waved her hand and said, "I have something to do next." ”
In addition to learning about O'Bernard-Lionheart's personal experience, this trip to the junkyard also revealed some key information - O'Bernard-Lionheart has a close relationship with the Foster family, and was strongly recommended by Hogg-Foster to serve as the manager of the Salvator Department in District 17.
So, he actually came with a mission.
With Lu Xiang's prestige in the Foster family, O'Bernard's trip was definitely not to make friends with them.
This made Song Lan feel sad because he was a person who liked to make friends.
What makes him even more sad is that O'Berner is still a person who is willing to give everything for the interests of the company, and a series of information he has learned shows that the conflict between them and the four-star rescuer is likely to rise to the point of irreconcilability.
………………………………
At the same time, a meeting began about the replacement of Tesla Technologies' CEO by the Imitation.
O'Bernard blocked the news and didn't let the matter go back to the core area in the first place, because he knew that once Tesla technology got involved, the matter would be out of his control.
On the surface, the "pseudo-humans" and recent incidents of artificial intelligence anomalies have been settled.
The anomalous artificial intelligence led by Gao Yuan infiltrated the company's top management, and used his authority to spread the virus, and the next step is a strict investigation within the company, find out all the faulty artificial intelligence, and eliminate this virus from the source, and everything will return to normal.
However, O'Bernard took Hogg-Foster's reminder to heart.
He said that the truly terrible enemies are often hidden around them.
For example, the artificial intelligence that replaced Gao Yuan, and Lu Xiang who went to the interrogation room alone.
There are also people who are helping the artificial intelligence to escape, otherwise with their ability, it is absolutely impossible to avoid the surveillance that can be seen everywhere in District 17, and disappear without a trace under everyone's noses.
He didn't know about the situation in other cities yet, but at least in the seventeenth district, there were still hidden accomplices besides Gao Yuan.
But as he said before, if the accomplices really exist, then they will definitely find a way to rescue Gao Yuan, and instead of wandering around the city like headless flies, it is better to seize their lifeblood.
Once you have a suspect, the investigation becomes much easier.
A document was handed over to O'Bernard, and after briefly reading the above information, he looked at Lu Xiang and said, "Director Lu, according to our investigation, it seems that the law enforcers did not fully cooperate with our operation in this operation, all they did was stay in the hovercar and symbolically patrol the air...... In addition, there is enough evidence that you met with Gao Yuan privately a few months ago, and that he also funded you on behalf of Tesla Technologies. ”
It's not so much a meeting as accountability.
O'Bernard's suspicion of them had already been written on her face, and she was ready to be held accountable before Lu Xiang walked into the conference room.
"It's true that the arms were sponsored by Tesla Technologies, but if you retrieve his memories, you should know what we met for, and we didn't talk about artificial intelligence during that time."
At this point, she has a clear conscience.
It wasn't until the rescuer's website published the identification criteria for the "pseudo-human" that they began to suspect Gao Yuan's identity.
"So, how do you explain your department's uncooperative actions?"
"We cooperated with the directives of the rescuer department, but in this city, we also have a more important mission."
"You're not trying to tell me that you have to put the city first, do you?"
O'Bernard playfully pulled out an electronic pamphlet, "I've read your pamphlet, and I have to admit that thanks to your efforts, the crime rate in this city has indeed dropped a lot, which is quite a feat...... However, you should understand one thing, the seventeenth district is the seventeenth district of the coalition government, and the company and the family are the core of this world! ”
"Maintaining law and order? Why do you think that? ”
Lu Xiang's answer was unexpected by O'Bernard, he had investigated Lu Xiang, he originally thought that according to Lu Xiang's character, he would argue with him on this issue, but she said, "You have just arrived here, and it is normal that you don't understand some things, but I also want to remind you of one thing, District 17 is not only District 17 of the coalition government, it is also the closest place to the void in this world." ”
