Chapter 613: Imperial Power
"Actually, if there's anything, we can talk on the phone."
"You know, there are a lot of eyes watching you right now. This doesn't comply with the organization's confidentiality regulations!" Meng Lang said seriously as he accepted the teacup Gao Yuan offered.
"Confidentiality regulations? I had no idea the organization had such a thing."
"Well! You haven't been in the organization for very long, so it's normal that you don't know many things."
"To be honest, I know very little about the organization's rules, regulations, codes of conduct, and norms. Could you send me some information so I don't make mistakes in the future?"
"Uh..." Meng Lang was sweating a little. Where am I supposed to make this up for you on the spot?
"Well... actually, the organization is quite humane. After all, rules are rigid, but people are flexible. As long as it benefits our goals, regulations and rules aren't that important."
"Hehe!" Gao Yuan smiled and didn't expose him.
"Don't worry, we won't talk about personal matters today."
Meng Lang breathed a sigh of relief, then looked around with some unease.
"I had someone specially do double-layer soundproofing here, and the effect is several times better than that of a KTV room."
I don't think anyone could hear our conversation unless they were eavesdropping through the crack in the door." Gao Yuan clearly understood Meng Lang's concerns.
"Hmm... Chairman Gao is so thoughtful. So, what 'business' did you want to discuss with me today?" Meng Lang emphasized the topic of the day again.
Gao Yuan rolled her eyes in exasperation.
"What business are you talking about? Do you think that a large corporation with tens of thousands of employees can automatically grow into a Fortune 500 company just by you making a few phone calls and exchanging a few words, and then leaving everything else to it?"
Uh... is it not possible? The book tells me this is the procedure?
"Heh! This fully demonstrates the organization's trust in your personal abilities!"
Gao Yuan was even more helpless.
The leadership of any large corporation, if not every three days for a small meeting, every seven days for a large meeting, should at least hold an exchange meeting once a month.
Where else can you find someone who acts like a hands-off manager all day long?
“Every time you give me a task, it’s either to suddenly start a new company or to suddenly come up with a new strategy.”
They either dump a bunch of new technologies on me arbitrarily, or they demand that the original plan be brought forward significantly.
Afterwards, they never inquired about the detailed progress of the task...
"You don't need me to report on the group's latest industrial layout, net profit growth, technological research and development progress... Do you want us to reassess these things?"
"Uh……"
Meng Lang was somewhat speechless.
I can say I have a book that allows me to skip the process and go straight to the result.
Isn't this a hundred times better than any assessment?
Besides, the Earth is about to crack open, why would I care about such trivial details as how much money the group made this month?
Can earning a few more percentage points save the planet?
Ultimately, it's because Gao Yuan, this legendary CEO, is just too capable.
Whether it's dealing with business competitors, handling complex interpersonal relationships, or managing the chaotic internal personnel of the group, you don't need to worry about any of it.
He couldn't be more comfortable being a hands-off boss.
Sigh! You're blaming me? It's clearly your own fault for spoiling me...
Meng Lang deeply reflected on the other party's actions.
But think about it.
I seem to have been focusing too much on strategy and neglecting tactics lately, and even the brothers have basically glossed over the various developments of the Wanwu Group...
There's no way around it; you have to eat one bite at a time and walk one step at a time.
"Well! Actually, I came here today to hear your thoughts on the group's recent developments..." Meng Lang said earnestly.
Gao Yuan: "..."
Too lazy to even complain, he said.
"Other matters can be put aside for now, but there are a few key issues concerning the group's next strategic direction that I need to get definite answers from you."
"You said."
"First of all, I want to ask, what's the deal with the optical chip 'A'? Why would we deliberately let the other side succeed?"
Even though I have low authority, as the executor, you should at least give me a general overview, right?
Otherwise, I'm afraid I can't control what we should do next, or to what extent.
Hmm... that makes sense.
Meng Lang thought for a moment, "Actually, this 'A'... has some technical flaws."
"Huh?" Gao Yuan was taken aback. "A loophole?"
“That’s right, and we happen to have a way to utilize it…”
"What……"
Gao Yuan's eyes widened, her mind racing.
"So you want to..."
Meng Lang did not answer, but his smile was quite meaningful.
Gao Yuan: "..."
Knowing the advantages of optical chip technology, Gao Yuan's heart started pounding as soon as she imagined it.
If that day ever comes... then the company that openly developed this technology will either be hailed as a meritorious hero or likely an accomplice facing a military court-martial...
Is this some serious risk?
He took a deep breath to suppress his shock.
"Alright, I won't ask any more questions about that. So, regarding the 'globalization strategy' you mentioned last time... what about Hideyoshi Iwasaki?"
I heard that he has returned to his country, so it seems there is a good chance he will become the new head of the Iwasaki family...
"Hehe! It's not a possibility. Just now, he became the new head of the Iwasaki family." Meng Lang updated Gao Yuan with the information.
Gao Yuan was shocked again.
"So, everything really is going according to your script..."
I used to think the book "The Youngest Son of a Tycoon" was a bit far-fetched, but now...
"Could it be that you've already convinced him to cooperate with us?"
"It's not a collaboration."
"Oh~" Gao Yuan nodded.
That makes sense. Given their wealth and influence, they'd probably only make some kind of exchange of benefits...
"He has to listen to us!"
Gao Yuan: "..."
"Which one to listen to?" Gao Yuan asked uncertainly.
“We tell him to go east, but he doesn’t dare go west; we tell him to walk the dog, but he doesn’t dare chase the chickens.”
Gao Yuan: "..."
"how did you do that?"
"Well... we used a technology that the organization had just developed..."
Meng Lang thought about it and felt it was time to let the other party know more about the organization's internal information.
Not only because sitting in Gao Yuan's position almost certainly means being targeted by the Night Demon Clan in the future, but it's also because it's necessary to warn them of the danger of their enemies as early as possible and take targeted precautions.
Meanwhile, Gao Yuan will need to work with Xiao Yu to make further strategic plans for the subsequent takeover of Fusang...
Although some of the information is quite sensitive, as an "outstanding employee" who bravely fought and sacrificed for the organization, he is still trustworthy...
He then gave a brief overview of the general information regarding "family," "spiritual resonance," and "brainwave amplifier."
Gao Yuan became increasingly shocked as she listened, until she was almost numb to it all.
The Night Demons are alien parasites capable of splitting into offspring to control humans... and their organization is even more terrifying!
They actually reverse-engineered and directly used existing technology to develop a "brainwave amplifier," and even turned a Night Demon into a foe, then used it to create a "familia"...
To me, the organization sounds more like the main villain.
Brainwave amplifiers... can even subtly influence the human mind...
This is absolutely chilling!
This thing is almost as powerful as it is dangerous; it's a double-edged sword.
What if it falls into the hands of evil people...
"Wait! You mean, right now, Xiaoyu is the only one who can use the 'brainwave amplifier'?"
"Hmm! Although it's not certain whether there are other suitable humans, it seems that only Xiaoyu can meet the requirements for using the brainwave amplifier at present."
Gao Yuan breathed a sigh of relief, but then frowned.
The relief comes from the fact that this technology currently seems to have too high a barrier to entry and is unlikely to become so widespread that it would cause global chaos.
And the reason for frowning is...
"I advise you to try to minimize Xiaoyu's use of this ability."
“Uh…” Meng Lang was stunned for a moment.
He hadn't expected that Gao Yuan's first suggestion after hearing so much shocking news would be this...
"Are you worried about the safety of the technology? There's no need to worry. Although it's a newly developed technology, you know the organization's technical capabilities. We guarantee it won't cause any harm to the user's body."
Meng Lang was quite confident in his words.
After all, his own brother wouldn't joke about Xiaoyu's safety. Since he gave him this technology, it must have undergone multiple verifications in theory and practice to ensure its safety before handing it over to him.
However, Gao Yuan shook her head.
"I'm not worried about causing any physical harm to Xiaoyu, I'm worried about causing irreversible psychological damage!"
"What?" Meng Lang was stunned.
Gao Yuan explained with a serious expression.
"You need to know that Xiaoyu's age is a crucial time for shaping her values and personality!"
There's an old saying: "You can tell what a child will be like at three, and what they will be like in life at seven." This refers to the crucial period when a child's cognition and personality are most easily influenced by external factors.
While the 'brainwave amplifier' you gave me is incredibly useful, it might not be a good thing to teach a child to fire a gun prematurely and give him an overly powerful ability.
In psychology, there exists the 'principle of least effort'!
In other words, people tend to choose the simplest method to solve problems.
Once Xiaoyu forms the perception that the problem cannot be solved, the simplest method is to use a 'brainwave amplifier' to deal with the person who raised the problem...
Once such a personality is formed, even if the person doesn't grow up to be a ruthless tyrant, they will likely become a despotic extremist..."
“This…” Meng Lang stood there, stunned and speechless.
He thought a lot.
This includes both the benefits and risks of this technology.
But I never thought of looking at this from an educational perspective...
Thinking back, the "brainwave amplifier" was probably a technology I learned from "And Then There Were None"...
So what were Xiaoyu's behaviors before and after that?
Many images flashed through my mind in an instant.
"Xiaoyu's Game": [Until the world's trajectory began to increasingly resemble the plot of the game, Xiaoyu, who had come to her senses, burst into tears and questioned me.]
I hope I can tell her that none of this is true...
"Daughter of Time": [I won't tell you what Xiaoyu did as an adult.]
And what means were used to create such a harmonious, unified, and cruel world...?
Hmm... Let's look at it in chronological order.
"The Game of Little Rain" → "And Then There Were None" → "The Daughter of Time"...
rash:"……"
When Xiaoyu realizes that playing games has turned her real world into "the last of the Mohicans," she cries and questions herself.
However, after just one episode, a cruel world of harmony and unification has already been subjectively created...
Oh, right! The "Little Rain Sister Project" was also a product of that time!
If you're asking for a reason, then besides the "brainwave amplifier" I gave her during that time, there really isn't any other possibility...
So, it really was my action that caused such a huge change in Xiaoyu's personality?
Meng Lang had mixed feelings.
Xiaoyu, who should have been innocent, gentle, and kind, turned into a cold-blooded and ruthless future leader because of her unintentional actions...
Was I right or wrong?
Yes! Emotionally, he didn't want Xiaoyu to have such a personality change.
However, objectively speaking, such changes can bring huge strategic advantages...
"Sigh!" Meng Lang sighed deeply.
He asked Gao Yuan a question in return.
"Chairman Gao, you are well-versed in history. Have you ever seen any emperors who pacified chaotic times who were not ruthless and autocratic?"
Gao Yuan: "..."
Let's talk about children's education.
You want to talk to me about imperial power politics?
