I really don't want to hang up

Chapter 294 The Disaster of the Individual, the Insignificance of the World

"Why do you think so?"

As soon as Albert spoke, he immediately fell silent, obviously thinking about another question:
Does anyone else think like Hannibal?
Have it?

There's none?
If Mr. Luden was in charge of technology research and development, maybe he would do the same.

However, Luden gave Albert enough autonomy, did not interfere with any R&D details, and only stipulated the upper limit of investment.

As the person in charge, Albert certainly didn't think so.

What about his men?

Albert didn't wait for Hannibal's answer, and walked out of his office with a gloomy face.

He called his assistant over, and sent someone to the Strange Bird Bookstore to ask an old gentleman to come over.

After the old gentleman arrived, he saw Albert with a dark face in the office.

The old gentleman had never seen such an angry Albert.

Albert is a person with a good temper. In work and life, he seldom loses his temper, let alone like this now.

The atmosphere in the entire office was extremely oppressive, and it was difficult to even breathe.

There seemed to be thunder flashing in the depths of Albert's pupils, bringing endless oppression to everyone present.

"I need a group of reliable people in charge of review."

Every word seemed to pop out of the abyss of anger, Albert said slowly,
"In the process of drug development, whether there is any intentional increase in the cost of drug development and drug production"

What Hannibal said, Albert would never allow it to appear in his technical research institute.

It is most appropriate to find someone from the strange bird bookstore to review this kind of matter.

That's what they do.

The Heresy Inquisition already had a group of people working in the company, responsible for similar things.

To be on the safe side, Albert didn't even use the company's internal personnel, but asked to bring in a group of people from outside to conduct a thorough review.

"Mr. Albert."

For Albert, the old gentleman from the Strange Bird bookstore, enough respect remains.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that he is one of the successors trained by Mr. Lu Deng, just like A Wu back then.

No, even better than Awu.

The old man asked a question,
"Do you want the process, or the conclusion?"

Albert was silent for a moment and gave the answer,

"I want conclusions."

"Have."

The old gentleman answered Albert directly without any hesitation, very confident.

"Someone will definitely do this, whether it is subjective or objective. With all due respect, Mr. Albert, you are not God-born, we are, we follow the divine code, we are just, we are upright, we have many virtues, but the divine The code never asks us to abandon our humanity."

Albert frowned, not understanding what the other party meant,
"What do you want to say?"

"I mean, people are people, we're mean, we're weak, we're alone, we're controlled by our senses, we're seduced by demons, people always make choices that are better for them, whether it's intentional or not."

The old man said slowly,
"The salary of your technology research institute is the highest in the whole fog city, even in the whole world, but you let them develop medicines for the poor.

If they are lazy, is this intentionally driving up the cost of drug development?

Two drugs with similar effects cost a penny more and a penny less, do they care?

These medicines are sold to the poor, they will never use them in their lives, and even when they do, they don't care about the difference of a penny. "

The old man slowed down and breathed a sigh of relief.

Albert propped his chin with his right hand, and covered his thin mouth with three fingers, his eyelids drooped,

"Go on."

"In addition to the basic salary, the salaries of R&D personnel also include R&D bonuses and sales dividends. This is intended to stimulate their R&D enthusiasm, but have you ever thought about it? The more drugs are sold, the higher the dividends. Also, just Taking the case in front of you as an example, the sales bases of delaying drugs and curing drugs are not the same, and you have not done long-term experiments.”

Listening to the old man's words, Albert asked back,
"So, it's a system problem?"

If there is only a problem with the bonus system, Albert can adjust it at any time.

"It's people! People!"

The old man said helplessly,
"As long as people are still doing this and rely on people, you can't escape this curse!"

Seeing Albert once again lost in thought, the old man heaved a sigh of relief.

He lowered his eyes and glanced at the note in his hand, which was written in densely packed small characters.

This is a note sent by Mr. Luden before he came here.

He basically read the conversation between the two of them from the note.

The old man saw clearly the content behind the note:
".Now give the note to Albert"

Albert didn't look up, and said,
"Just give me what's in your hand, and I'll see for myself."

The old gentleman laughed twice, handed the note to the other party, and left the room tactfully.

Others also slowly exited the oppressive office, leaving Albert a space to be alone.

The note reads:

"The research and development of drugs, the advancement of science and technology, and the advancement of the times do not rely on one's own strength. To be precise, if you rely on one person to promote the development of the entire era, you may not get the results you want. disaster.

This story, which I have never told, may help you.

Once upon a time, there was a kingdom named Qiyun, and a young man named 'Lu Deng' decided to do something big."

In Qiyun, Mr. Lu Deng promoted the development of science and technology, and established the most basic education security system, basic food security system, and minimum wage system.
In his factory, many people were exhausted to death.

However, the jobs Luden created supported many more people.

The birth rate has increased significantly, the infant mortality rate has plummeted, and the population of Qiyun Kingdom has exploded.
Mr. Luden took out one invention after another across the ages, and went from one victory to another. His competitors had to go over the wall to steal his design drafts in order to barely compete with Mr. Luden.

Even so, Mr. Luden quickly became the most powerful existence in Qiyun Kingdom.

They were no longer satisfied with domestic victory, Qiyun Kingdom began to expand outward, eliminated Goblins, conquered the Elven Kingdom, occupied the Goblin Fortress, and snatched away the dwarves' royal line.
The Qiyun Kingdom occupies all valuable land.

The pace of expansion has stopped, but the contradiction remains.

External and internal contradictions intensified at the same time, turning into a bloody coup.

The king was overthrown and the queen took her laurels.

It was Mr. Luden who crowned the Queen.

In order to realize his loftier ideals and revenge, Mr. Luden's methods are inevitably somewhat bloody.

The people he hanged filled the whole valley.

Finally, in a parliamentary meeting, the unbearable backbench members initiated a motion to try Mr. Ludden.

Their original intention was to let Luden back down, at least to calm down a bit!
Surprisingly, the bill passed.

Soon, the motion turned into a referendum.

The Qiyun Kingdom's first referendum had a result.

"Hang the devil!"

Thus, Mr. Luden was sent to the gallows.

"The world after Luden's death is still the world. There is nothing ugly or beautiful. The Qiyun Kingdom has lasted for more than a thousand years. The death of an individual is a disaster for the individual, but for the world. , just a trivial matter"

At the end of the note, Mr. Luden left a sentence for Albert, more like a summary of the ups and downs of a certain Mr. Luden's life:

"Trust in humans."
