None of the members of the self-interest faction are fools.

On the contrary, they are very intelligent and have an extremely keen sense of interest.

They can all see how much the space engineering program can bring to the company's future and progress, but what they see is only like those low-level employees, through the gossip of some relevant personnel, can occasionally learn a little inside information about the project.

This kind of treatment made them very uncomfortable, as if they had been ostracized in some way, and although according to the company's rules, there was nothing wrong with the CEO doing so, but they just didn't feel comfortable.

In their opinion, although their department is not connected to the space engineering program at all, and it can't help, the company needs to give them at least a little involvement, right?

At the very least, they have to be able to participate in the plan, even if they can't help in anything, and they can also participate in the plan by helping to allocate resources in the rear.

But the CEO just didn't give them a chance, didn't give them any chance to reach into the plan.

It's like they know that a mountain of gold and silver is placed in front of them, but they are blindfolded, and they are distanced, and they can neither touch nor touch, and they can only itch but scratch in their hearts.

One step at a time.

The dividends of the times are like this, if you can't seize the opportunity to eat the front, you can only eat the rest of what others eat if you want to eat in the back, and you have to be restricted everywhere.

"At the end of the day, it's the guy who doesn't want to give us a lot of trust at all." The deputy minister of the business department couldn't help but say in a weird way:

"Also, the space engineering program is the lifeblood of the company's future, how can such an important project involve us useless departments, now that the ships have been lifted into the air, we can only watch."

"In a few years, maybe there will be extraterrestrial immigration, hehe, it is estimated that there will still be no part of us at that time, let the people from the engineering department and the scientific research department worry about it, and we will continue to sit here and do chores!"

"Forget it, I heard that in the ships that lifted off this time, those people from the engineering department and the scientific research department all signed the 'ascension agreement' before boarding the ship." The senior of the planning department pursed his lips and said:

"I can see it, the 'Ascension Protocol' is probably made for the space engineering program."

"To put it bluntly, in the eyes of the CEO, the person who signed the 'Ascension Agreement' is his own people, what about us...... Heh, it's just a bunch of outsiders who work for the company for profit. ”

"That's right, I've also heard that a lot of people in the engineering department and the research department have signed the 'Soar Agreement', and it seems that the CEO does have such a set of methods to eliminate dissent." The project from the Ministry of Labor nodded in agreement:

"Look at everyone here, it is possible for us to sign the 'Ascension Agreement' and become those machines that may no longer have their own opinions?"

"It's not just us, but few people in our department are willing to sign that broken agreement." The deputy minister of the business department added.

"That's right, it's true that few people are willing, and we're not the idiots of the engineering department and the scientific research department, hehe, don't enjoy the good time, and are willing to take the initiative to become those idiot machines who can't even release the star desire."

"Those who are willing to sign the broken agreement are fools with funny brains."

"Agreed, we are all still young, why pin the so-called future on those idiot machines, and become like those slave machines."

The men talked eloquently, while the heads of the three departments were silent, as if thinking about something.

It wasn't until he saw that these subordinates had almost reconciled the atmosphere that the head of the business department coughed lightly and took the lead in speaking:

"Okay, I asked you to come this time, I plan to discuss it."

"Some of us have to make small sacrifices for the common good between us."

Hearing this, many of the high-ranking people under the three ministers looked at each other, and they craned their necks because they heard the word sacrifice.

These two words lingered in their hearts, making them feel very weird.

What? Sacrifice?

Not kidding, right?

They formed this small group and formed a faction in order not to make sacrifices in the larger group to the detriment of their own interests.

Their interests include, but are not limited to, power in their hands, personal lives, wealth, etc., and so on.

For these things, they are not willing to give up and make any sacrifices for the so-called collective.

After all, these things are clearly in their own hands, and for the so-called interests of the company, those things are all illusory and unrealistic empty words for them.

In order to prevent those empty words from harming the interests that they really grasp in their hands, and in order to grasp these interests more firmly in their own hands, they have today's private meeting.

But now, the people who formed their small collective told them again and again that they wanted to make sacrifices for this small collective?

Yes? Isn't this a joke or what?

They all subconsciously agreed that the head of the business department was joking, but the other party's expression was quite serious, and there was no joke in sight, which made these high-level self-interested factions feel a little uneasy and dissatisfied.

But none of them had a seizure on the spot, but sat quietly in their own places, waiting for the head of the business department to continue to clean up the unfinished fart in their mouths.

"We decided to let some of us take the initiative to sign the 'Ascension Agreement'." When the head of the business department said this sentence slowly, the surrounding executives still did not speak, and looked at him quietly, but their eyes became a little colder.

"Please rest assured that the person who signed the 'Ascension Agreement', his family and the interests behind him will be fully protected by others, and if nothing else, we will still accept those who signed the 'Ascension Agreement' as before, because they will be the warriors among us and deserve our respect and acceptance......"

The head of the business department was also talking eloquently, his eyes constantly scanning the many high-level self-interest factions present, and he said without any pause:

"Gentlemen and gentlemen, are there any warriors who can voluntarily sign the Ascension Agreement for our benefit?"

No one responded to his words, and the high-ranking officials except for the three ministers just looked at them with cold eyes.

Seeing this situation, the head of the business department sighed.

He knew that this would happen, and the high-ranking self-interest faction present were all shrewd and decent people.

They also know what will become of the "Ascension Agreement" after signing it.

No one is stupid enough to sacrifice anything for the sake of their smaller collective.

But now, they can't help it.

Now everyone can see that the so-called "Ascension Agreement" is a card used by the CEO to select "his own people", and only those who can sign the "Ascension Agreement" have the opportunity to be completely reused.

Now it's a space engineering program, but it seems like it's just the beginning.

The more projects in the future, the more plans and the more interests involved, they will inevitably be hindered by this agreement.

Slowly, the so-called "Ascension Agreement" will become a threshold.

You don't sign it, but others do, which forms a certain appearance of backwardness.

Originally, these self-interested factions did not seem to be treated well by the CEO, and after this threshold appeared, if they still stuck to their own opinions as before, and were unwilling to progress with the increase in the threshold of power, then maybe soon they would be gradually eliminated.

After being eliminated, they will no longer be able to grasp the current power, let alone guarantee their current interests and status......

Accepting the "Ascension Protocol" and turning it into a machine that could lose a lot of what it was like to be a human being is something that these self-interested elites simply cannot accept.

But rather than being eliminated and losing everything they have now, they are more willing to accept the "Ascension Agreement".

After all, when I think about it, it's just a machine, and it's evolved and upgraded, but if I wait until I'm eliminated and lose the identity, status, and power they have now, it's more serious than killing them.

Their attachment to the interests and power in their hands has reached a point where it is difficult to give up.

His subordinates were unwilling to be the stupid warriors who voluntarily signed the "Ascension Agreement", which made the corners of the business department's mouth slightly bitter.

He glanced at the accomplices who were staring at him coldly, and after taking a deep breath, he slowly stood up and said:

"Since none of you want to be that warrior, let me come."

"I will voluntarily sign the 'Ascension Agreement' and make some sacrifices for our common good."

This sentence fell like thunder in the small private conference room, and the faces of all the high-level executives who had been looking at the head of the business department coldly changed, and a look of surprise and disbelief appeared on their faces.

The focus on the head of the business department quickly changed, some people seemed to be looking at fools, some people were looking at crazy people, but more people had complicated expressions.

They were puzzled and could not understand why the head of the business department had made this decision.

The eyes of the senior management lingered on the three ministers of the business department, the labor department, and the planning department, and quickly understood.

Come to think of it, these three ministers made a decision in advance to have such a play.

If an individual takes the initiative to sign the "Ascension Agreement" alone, it will be like a betrayal or even a split for their small faction, and it will definitely cause a lot of bad influences and blows.

But if this "betrayal" is a drama made within oneself, then it is not a division in nature.

It could even be called a bold strategy.
