vs 235 Those Who Care for You (Part II)
"Exploitation, oppression?" the two Jimenez didn't understand what Rand meant for a while, but they quickly realized that the word exploitation may not have been well understood by them for a while, but oppression was by no means a compliment.
"Yes, exploitation, taking advantage of the monopoly in the means of production, by wage labour, appropriates the wealth created by those who labour for them, and that part of the wealth should not have been appropriated by man. "We call these people or groups the exploiting class, because they have the advantages that the social system gives them, so they will in turn desperately defend the current system." ”
Little Jimenez was dumbfounded, and old Jimenez said coldly: "My dear Rand, do you mean that the relationship between me and the workers and employees of our company is like a partnership, but your father and I always take their fair share and make a fortune from it?"
Before Rand could reply, little Jimenez had come to his senses, and he roared, "Do you know what nonsense you are talking about? My reputation will be ruined by you, and my own son should accuse his father of being a thief, a thief, or even a robber?"
"Father, I'm not accusing you, I'm describing the entire class you represent, that's true. Rand said helplessly.
"Where did you hear this heresy? Is it the woman? If it were her, I would throw her into the furnace and let her never exist!" said little Jimenez, "how dare she bewitch you in this way." ”
"Calm down, how could he have heard this kind of rhetoric from her, not to mention that she came to the door today to detect his abnormality. All right. You shut up. Let me have a good talk with Rand. Old Jimenez rebuked his son. Then he said to his grandson: "Rand, your father is at least not wrong about one thing, and your theory just now is very wrong. Others dare not say that the wealth of the Jimenez family was all made by me from scratch, when Bernadotte and I were born and died in the Emerald Continent adventures, and later companies and factories hired more and more people, but these people I paid their salaries, and they all voluntarily accepted employment. I didn't have a gun to force them to do things for me. ”
"Yes, and your mother and me, your mother donates money to charity every year, and she also organized disaster relief when she was in trouble, and my son actually said that we exploit others and oppress others?"
"Oh. Rand closed his mouth slightly, and he knew that if Yihe and his family said such remarks, they would probably not be accepted, and would even be misunderstood as accusing them.
"Father, listen to me. I'm not targeting you. You have done those good deeds, and others may have similar good deeds. But good deeds are good deeds, but that doesn't change the purpose of doing business, does it?" Rand said.
"God, your grandfather didn't mistake you, you're still insisting that your father and grandfather were robbers, you mean we robbed other people's money and then bought some things and gave them back, so we're still robbers, right?"
Father and son confronted each other, and Jimenez could not help but be shocked, which was naturally very different from his usual composure, and this terrible remark was not only unacceptable to him, but also came from the mouth of his grandson.
"Rand, that's right, business is business, and good deeds are good deeds, your grandfather taught me that since I was a child. If I fail, I don't have to be able to donate money for me. Little Jimenez's voice sharpened.
"So it doesn't change the nature of exploitation and oppression, you listen to me, I repeat, I'm not targeting you, I'm just trying to say that our society is the way it is now, there is an inherent injustice, and a lot of problems have arisen from it, and now it's more likely to get worse because of them. I'm actually very conflicted now, I'm aware of this, but I'm still fantasizing about whether it is possible to change these things in a drastic way, and some people predict that our system will eventually come to an end, and those who are exploited and oppressed will unite to overthrow the old rulers. ”
"So you're scared?" said old Jimenez, whose face turned pale, "and I have never heard of it before, and I have never heard of it outside of you, I think it must be the idea that you have recently engaged in some social research and dealt with those workers?" Rand, you are so confused, if your so-called theory of exploitation is true, I will tell you that there are many people in this world who ask Jimenez to exploit him. ”
"Yes, if your grandfather and I get to the door and beg us to exploit them, the oppressors will line up in the streets. Little Jimenez also said.
Rand sighed: "That's because the exploiting class has the advantage in society, ostensibly voluntary, but if they have no choice, of course they have to accept the employment of the capitalists and accept the exploitation." Grandfather, father, can we stop arguing about this. ”
"Yes, but you can't leave the house from today. Jimenez said coldly, and he pressed something on his chest.
The door to the study was opened, and two men and a woman walked in together, one man and one woman, the man in a hunting suit, and the woman in a gorgeous robe with a vertical collar.
"Mr. Amber, Miss Debbie, please help me take care of my grandson and don't let him leave the house. Jimenez also looked polite to the two men.
"Hehe, Mr. Jimenez, it is our duty to protect you. The man known as Amber tilted his head and said, "Okay, okay, Debbie, Score a person looking at this little guy, is it you or me?"
"I am a woman, and I would rather come into contact with an old gentleman like Mr. Jimenez. The mage laughed.
Rand smiled bitterly in his heart, it seemed that his words had greatly irritated his grandfather and father, and they were ready to put him under house arrest for the time being, but it was fine, at least for the time being, he would not be forced to take over any business.
"I'm a little curious about what you just said, though. Amber said to Rand, and he was embarrassed to say to Mr. Jimenez, "I heard your conversation just now. ”
Little Jimenez snorted, this study also has a soundproof magic array, but this magic array is from the hand of the female mage named Debbie in front of him, and the responsibility of the two is to protect the safety of Jimenez, so it is not surprising to hear the conversation between the three of them.
Amber scratched her head and said, "According to what you just said, it seems that I am also exploited." ”
Rand couldn't figure out the details of the two for a while, but he could see that the two were extremely not simple, when the female mage looked at herself, she had a feeling that she seemed to see through herself, which meant that the other party's spirit was extremely strong, far above herself, and this man could be on a par with her, and he was definitely not weak.
Rand nodded: "If you are hired, then at least you are not an exploiter, but it is different from the kind of exploited who have nothing and even have a choice, the degree of exploitation is not so high, but there is still exploitation." ”
"Listen, listen, Debbie. Amber whistled triumphantly, "I should have recorded him and asked the boss and the company for a raise, I'm the exploited, hahaha." ”
The faces of the two Gentlemen Jimenez were indescribably strange, and old Jimenez coughed dryly and said, "Mr. Amber, don't record this, if it spreads, it will have some impact on our family." “
Amber laughed and said, "Of course not, Mr. Jimenez, how can I cause you trouble." Well, the joke is over. ”
He sighed heavily, and said to Rand: "Young man, did you get this theory through some social investigation? I only know that this world is the law of the jungle, I can't beat my boss, and there are many people I can't beat, so I have to listen to my boss, she told me to protect your grandfather, and I have to come." Now I have to accompany you at your grandfather's request, and I hope you don't cause me trouble, or you don't mind giving him a little hardship, right?"
His last sentence was to ask old Jimenez, who nodded and said, "My grandson is a wise man, and he will not cause unnecessary trouble." Rand, stay at home first, and I'll find a way to pull you back from the abyss of mistake. ”
After Rand was taken down by Amber, Debbie gently pulled the door open for the two Mr. Jimenez.
Old Jimenez said to his son, "You have seen it all, it is terrible, I did not expect Rand to become like this." And I feel that the problem is not only in the social survey, but also in the fact that I want to think about what else is wrong. ”
Old Jimenez knocked on his forehead desperately, and he suddenly alerted: "Arcane Skynet, can you be sure of the situation of that woman today, the anomaly that happened to Rand, what is it like to communicate with an invisible person is contacting the Arcane Skynet?"
Little Hemenez frowned and said: "Other than that, there is only the possibility that he is not sane, but you can see what he said to us just now, although that remark is amazing, but you can't say that he is not sane." ”
"That's worse. Maybe the reason why he became like this was not just that he did some social research and was bewitched by those poor people, maybe it was something that influenced him on the arcane skynet. Old Jimenez said in a deep voice.
"Is someone trying to deal with us?" said little Jimenez, a little nervously.
"No, maybe it's a coincidence, but anyway, if we save Rand, he will be ruined by this dangerous thought, and if it is known that the third generation of the heir of the Jimenez family is such a person, we will become a joke, and even worse, Rand, he may be seen as an outlier, which is extremely detrimental to his future development. Old Jimenez said.
"So what should I do?"
"Don't let him go out for the time being, lest more people know what he said. "I'm going to put him in charge of the family's affairs for that new plane." ”
"It's okay that he doesn't have to touch St. Quentin for the time being, and he will come back after returning to normal, but the situation over there is not clear enough yet, and I don't know if there will be danger. Little Jimenez said worriedly.
"That's better than staying here and being known for his amazing words. Old Jimenez said, "so it was decided." But before I can do that, I have to meet the Duke and hope that he can save Rand. (To be continued.) )
