Omnic Crisis in Super God's Beginning

Chapter 18 The company taking the blame

Inside the headquarters building of Gray Goo Company.

The mayor who is responsible for all government affairs in Jin City and a group of local government officials sat in the luxurious reception room and enjoyed the hospitality of Gray Gu Company.

An expensive cigar was lit and then stuffed into his mouth. While smoking the cigar, Mayor Jin said without hesitation:

"Executive officer of Continental University, the government has favored your company in many aspects over the years, and you have seen it all."

"Now the whole world is in turmoil and the international situation is tense. If your company can bear some pressure for the government at this time, it is a situation that many people are willing to see..."

"Of course, you can also refuse, but at this time, I believe everyone in your company knows the price that the word 'refuse' will bear."

"We are all smart people and have cooperated with each other many times. This time I come here with full sincerity on behalf of the government. As long as your company agrees to share the pressure for the government, the government will open more green channels for your Gray Goo company... "

"I hope you will cooperate with this work as much as possible and don't make it difficult for us errands."

Mayor Jin was persuading, repeatedly emphasizing the purpose of their trip. He only wanted to say good things, but the threat in his words was very obvious, but the promised benefits were also very refreshing, no longer like before. Such fussing.

He seemed to be somewhat familiar with the positions within Gray Goo Company. When he addressed Lu Yuan, he directly called him executive officer, which added a hint of demonstration.

After all, a so-called executive of a technology company, put together with a group of government officials like them, seems to be three inches shorter for no reason.

The government officials brought by Mayor Jin were all expressionless and unfamiliar. It was obvious that they were all specially sent by the superiors for this matter.

Lu Yuan glanced at the opponent's formation.

The Gray Goo Company is based on the Gold City, so it is inevitable that it will have an intersection with the Mayor of Gold City in front of him. He and the other party have long been acquaintances.

The two sides often interacted with each other, so this time the Siris government urgently needed to go to Gray Goo Company's place, so the other party was sent over to discuss relevant matters with Gray Goo Company.

Where does the Siris government need Gray Goo now?

Is it technically necessary?

The Gray Goo intelligent machine production technology and standardized alloy production technology previously obtained from Gray Goo Company, these two technologies are enough for the Seris country to digest for a long time, so this time they are not simply coveting the technology mastered by the company. Come.

If you don’t come here for the technology, what would it be for?

Very simple, two words.

Back the pot.

This is also the key reason why the mayor of Jin City keeps claiming that he wants Gray Goo Company to bear the pressure on the government.

The millions of unemployed people in the gold market today blame the Gray Goo Company, which developed the Gray Goo omnipotence, for the reason for their unemployment. This is a certain kind of ignorance on the part of those unemployed.

But now, the Serris government sees an opportunity.

A chance to escape the stress of the present moment.

Today, apart from a gold market, there are hundreds of millions of unemployed people in Seris, and this number is still increasing day by day.

And not only the gold market, a city with a huge number of unemployed people, is in chaos.

When chaos occurs, it must be resolved, otherwise the chaos will further expand, further impacting social order and causing unnecessary waste of social resources.

To this end, the senior officials of the Siris government came up with a stupid idea.

That is, taking advantage of the ignorance of the people at the bottom and guiding public opinion, directing the anger and resentment of these unemployed people to the conspicuous target of Gray Goo Company.

By temporarily sacrificing Gray Goo companies, the government is relieved of the pressure caused by the chaos caused by hundreds of millions of unemployed people.

In this way, they can free up more time and energy to invest more resources where the government needs to invest.

As for these areas that require investment, it is unknown whether there are any financial subsidies for the unemployed.

After Lu Yuan learned about the intention of Mayor Jin City, he immediately realized that the Siris government was going to push out the Gray Gu Company and use it as a cheap shield.The pressure the government is facing right now is really too great. There happens to be such a suitable shield that can stand in front of the unemployed and allow the government to reduce some of the pressure. Why not use it?

It was this thought that prompted the current scene.

Lu Yuan sat on one side, and beside him stood Professor Victor and Eureka, as well as several company executives.

On the opposite side, Mayor Jin and a group of expressionless government officials sat aside indifferently.

The two sides are like two symbols, representing some symbolic meanings that are invisible to the naked eye. They are also like two chess players sitting opposite each other.

An invisible chess game is being laid out between them.

The content of the chess game is the future of a country, even a planet, and a civilization.

At this moment, the players on one side were not fully aware of the existence of the chess game, nor its contents, nor the direction on the chess board, so they were groping in the darkness and randomly dropping chess pieces.

The chess player on the other side has already arranged everything that is beneficial to his side. Even the chess game was laid out by him, just waiting for his opponent to make a move.

No matter how the opponent moves, a certain death awaits him in the end.

The opponent will never know this from beginning to end.

One of the two parties in this chess game is the Siris government or all the superpowers on the Aiur planet.

One is undoubtedly the Gray Gu Company led by Lu Yuan.

In this chess game, the winner will control civilization and the future.

And the loser... will be eliminated without exception without missing a beat!

Right now, the opponent is making random moves.

Lu Yuan naturally had to take it.

The Siris government asked Gray Goo Company to bear the social pressure brought by the hundreds of millions of unemployed people. Those mediocre people would naturally refuse it neatly.

After all, this is a thankless job, and you can't accept it no matter how many benefits you are given.

Hundreds of millions of unemployed people, one spit from each person, is enough to drown the Gray Gu Company.

But Lu Yuan didn't hesitate too much, as if he had agreed to a trivial matter, he casually said:
"can."

"What did you say?" Mayor Jin, who was still chattering and planning to do some ideological work for Lu Yuan, paused. He just spoke so fast that he didn't hear clearly what Lu Yuan said back.

"can."

Lu Yuan looked calm and repeated unhurriedly:
"Grey Goo Company will take on the pressure for the government."

This time, he did not bargain with these government officials and directly agreed to the seemingly unreasonable requests.

Lu Yuan's move puzzled the mayor of Jin City and the officials who came with him.

Why did Gray Gu Company respond so readily to the government this time?
This is not at all like the past style of Gray Gu Company that only pursued profits.

Although it is a bit unusual, since Gray Goo Company is now willing to take the blame for the government, this is a good thing that is welcome.

Therefore, Mayor Jin City did not care too much about anything. He was just glad that the purpose of his trip was achieved. At the same time, he also assured everyone in Gray Gu Company with some worry:

"Don't worry, the benefits promised by the government to your company will not be lost..."

This time, no one from Lu Yuan or other Gray Gu Company personnel responded to them. They just looked at Mayor Jin and others with dull eyes.

It seemed that everyone in Gray Goo Company was feeling a little upset. Mayor Jin felt uncomfortable staying in the headquarters building of Gray Goo Company, so he just made a casual excuse, saying that he was busy with work. The opportunity just left.
