Blackstone Code

There are only more than 20 days from now to the last day of this year. Lynch said that he will announce this appointment before the New Year, which means that he will become the vice president in more than 20 days at most.

As for whether Lynch would fulfill his promise, the sergeant never worried about that.

If Lynch was a liar, he wouldn't be where he is today.

Many people believe that among Lynch's many success factors, sincerity and trustworthiness play a large role.

Success never favors liars. Even if some liars are lucky for a moment, they will eventually fall hard in a certain decision, leaving their heads bruised and bleeding, and they don't even have the strength to get up.

The sergeant who returned home half an hour early seemed a little excited. After his wife took off his coat, she saw that her husband, who had become more and more calm in the past few years, was acting so unsteady, and she had a smile on her face, "Yes. Didn't something good happen?"

The sergeant walked into the kitchen with his wife. He picked up a piece of food from the plate that had been prepared on the table and stuffed it into his mouth. "I don't seem to be able to hide my worries at all?"

"Just like when you climbed out of my bedroom window!", his wife turned back and rolled her eyes.

The sergeant enlisted in the army not long after graduating from high school. Before joining the army, he felt that even if he left, he would have to find out what this girl was thinking.

At around ten o'clock in the evening, he climbed outside her window. The moment the girl saw him, even if he didn't speak, she understood what he wanted to do.

Maybe it was because they had been with each other in high school, or maybe they were moved by the sergeant's past, that night became the beginning of their married life.

Sometimes the sergeant would recall the past with curiosity or nostalgia. Whenever he talked about climbing out of the window, his wife always said that he could not hide his thoughts on his face.

The sergeant wiped his hands on the napkin, then put his arm around his wife's waist, "I'm getting a promotion."

His wife paused for a moment, then turned around in surprise, "Don't tell me this is a joke!"

The sergeant tilted his head, "I promise!"

Her wife was immediately surprised and looked at her husband in disbelief, then turned off the gas stove, "We have to go out to celebrate, so we won't eat at home tonight."

When he reaches the position of sergeant, there are not many positions that can provide him with obvious room for improvement.

For senior executives in large companies, what they call promotions often means taking on more responsibilities while maintaining the same position.

You can say that this change is not an increase in value. From the perspective of internal management of the company, the scope of responsibility is enlarged, which is obviously an improvement.

But if you want to say this is an improvement, there is no clear change in the position.

In fact, the sergeant has been standing still in terms of his position over the past few years, but he is not completely standing still.

The improvement of the enterprise itself is also a kind of improvement and growth. The former Blackstone Security and the current Blackstone Security are completely different things. The status of the sergeant in society has also been significantly improved.

The sergeant calmed the excited wife a little, "Lynch invited us to go to his place to celebrate the New Year with them on the last day. Although he said that we don't need to prepare anything, we have to prepare some special dishes."

Lynch said he didn't need to bring anything, but to attend a family dinner of this level, on the last night of the year, it was impossible for him to bring nothing.

The sergeant's wife also understood this very clearly. She even gave up the suggestion of going out to eat and instead lit the gas stove again.

"Let's grab something to eat and make a list in the evening. I'll prepare these things in the next few days."

"By the way, remember to buy a few bottles of good wine..."

The couple spent one night racking their brains over how many dishes to bring and what kind of dishes to bring. In the end, the sergeant's suggestion played a key role.

Bring a portion of beef bones, which is made in the common people's way, that is, a lot of beef bones are piled together with spices and stewed together.

The meat on the bones of this kind of beef will fall off the bones with a gentle stroke. The rich sauce and soup are the favorite food of the lower class!

Not only is it cheap, it is the best choice whether it is used with wheat kernel rice or rice!

Then there are their homemade pastries, and bottles of good wine.

Early the next morning, the sergeant drove to the office early and began to assign tasks.

He must do this task beautifully, otherwise he will not have the courage to attend Lynch's family dinner...

Next, local police, the FBI, and the Blackstone Security Alarm Center received a number of calls.

Reporters said they saw some people kidnapped by a group of men in black and then disappearing into the night.

However, most of the people who called the police soon admitted that they might have seen it wrong, while a few people who called the police disappeared.

There were indeed some commotions in society, but these commotions were suppressed by an irresistible force when they had not yet formed a wave of public opinion and had just begun to appear.

Not only the capital of the Blackstone Group is exerting its efforts, but the federal government, Congress, and the FBI are also exerting their efforts.

Some key people were warned, so much so that some top scientists disappeared for a week or two, and no one found anything wrong!

The power of the federal government and some powerful law enforcement agencies is out of control, and the people at the bottom may not have this clear feeling yet.

But for some people who can understand these truths, they can deeply feel that the social order is slowly collapsing.

The more they can feel this irreversible collapse, the more these people dare not speak nonsense.

In the past, when the social order had not collapsed, they might have dared to do something, and perhaps there were still people who dared to resist this force.

When it comes to light, it's a scandal, and all politicians avoid scandals.

But now, politicians no longer really care about scandals or not, and the order of the entire world will not last long. Who cares about this?

The silence of these people has also become the last "pillar" of social order. They will even help some people conceal things that are detrimental to social stability.

They are more afraid of the collapse of social order than those in power, because they do not have a higher ability to resist risks and will lose more than those at the bottom or top.

As for foreign countries, many scientists have also been put on the "blacklist", but they have not yet taken action.

Once something happens to top scientists in certain fields, the safety level of other scientists will be improved, so this is a unified action.

In just half a month, almost two-thirds of the scientists on the list given to Lynch by the chief engineer appeared in a closed laboratory under the Flight Research Institute.

"This is the last of this batch, and the rest may have to wait until after the year."

The sergeant personally escorted these people to the gathering place. Not only was the chief engineer here, but Lynch was also here.

"Thank you so much. With the participation of these people, the time required for our research work can be greatly reduced."

The sergeant smiled and did not answer. The chief engineer looked at Lynch, "Shall we go in together to meet our new partner?"

Lin Qi stood up and they walked towards the hall together.

A few minutes before this, there had been a broadcast calling everyone into the hall.

At this time, these top scientists in various fields in the federation did not appear too panicked, and some even gathered together to discuss some research matters.

In fact, for most top scientists, it is not easy for them to get together at the same time.

Except for some people who were forcefully invited, everyone's mood is actually quite stable now.

As the door of the hall was pushed open, people's discussions stopped one after another, and some people who were sitting also stood up.

The people or forces that can "invite" so many scientists have shown their power.

In the Federation, showing respect for one's compulsion is not a spineless act.

People's eyes focused on Lin Qi who walked in through the door, and then their surprise turned to exclamation.

Perhaps only Lynch dared to do this.

"I'm sorry to invite you here in this way, and I deeply apologize for that."

"I believe you should have some understanding of the reason why I invite you here. The fate of mankind is in your hands."

"We no longer have that much time to engage in science and technology competitions. The narrow scientific spirit of some companies, institutions, and private research institutes has blocked the rapid development of mankind at this critical moment."

"I tried to communicate with them, but in the end I chose this method, and I sincerely apologize for it!"

"I hope you can forgive me for my recklessness."

The hall was still quiet, and the scientists did not ridicule Lynch or jump out to challenge him.

Those who can become industry leaders will never be people with an IQ of only 76. The IQ of every scientist here is far higher than that of ordinary people.

Maybe some of them don't have that high emotional intelligence, but they won't be stupid enough to directly oppose Lynch.

At best, their performance was to keep a straight face and say nothing, instead of standing up and clamoring to show Lynch some color.

This makes the atmosphere less tense and proves that there should be no fake experts here.

The chief engineer waited a few seconds for Lynch to finish speaking, and then went straight to the point.

"I believe most of you know me. Mr. Lynch just mentioned the reasons why you are here, so I won't go into details."

"Next, we will allocate R\u0026D capabilities around some of the cutting-edge technologies we are researching. Everyone will be assigned to different research departments to engage in R\u0026D of related technologies."

"If someone has objections to their work or is unwilling to contribute to the future of all mankind, they can stand aside."

"We'll make some rearrangements later!"

"And for those ladies and gentlemen who are willing to work with us and contribute their abilities to the future of all mankind, we will also prepare rewards for you that are comparable to your noble moral character!"

"Now, does anyone else have any questions?"

A scientist stood up and said, "I have heard about the Flight Research Institute a long time ago. I heard that there is no upper limit on the project budget here, right?"

The question immediately resonated with some, who all stared at the chief engineer or Lynch.

The chief engineer glanced at Lynch, and the smile on his face couldn't be suppressed at all. "Yes, there is no upper limit on our R\u0026D funds, but the premise is that you have to prove that the budget is indeed used for research, rather than spending a few dollars." I bought a handmade pencil or something like that for a thousand yuan.”

The scientist who asked the question nodded seriously, "If that's the case, I have no problem and I am willing to participate in research work."

After a brief discussion, many people expressed their approval of this place.

Later, some people raised some questions about research work, such as the cooperation of multiple departments. For example, if you have some inspiration, but it is not consistent with the subject content of the studio, whether you can set up an independent research group.

These troublesome issues for many scientists are not a problem here.

Many scientists know about the welfare benefits of the Flight Research Institute and have heard of them, but some people don't want to believe it. They are somewhat curious at this time.

Where is research not research anyway?

If Lynch can provide a better environment and conduct more concentrated research work in their areas of expertise, most scientists are actually willing.

This does not mean that they have no stance, it can only mean that science itself should not have a stance when it comes to promoting human development and progress!

Of course, there are also some scientists who have clearly expressed their unwillingness to participate in research projects here. These people are only a very small minority.

Lynch will arrange for their family members to persuade them to participate in the overall study. If they are unwilling to participate...

That can only be a pity.

The chief engineer began to assign tasks. The main research directions here are materials science and electronic science. Of course, there are also some relatively less popular subjects. As long as the Global Communication Platform needs it, there will be relevant research groups here.

Lynch also signed employment contracts with them, ensuring the rights and interests of them and their families, including free medical care, free shelter and at least mid-level living environment.

On the Monday of the last week of December, just three days before the new year, Lynch attended Blackstone Security's year-end board meeting.

At the meeting, he announced that the staff sergeant would be promoted to vice president of Blackstone Security and be responsible for the day-to-day work without having any contact with his current job.

At the same time, Blackstone Security will join several other companies to establish a new group company different from Blackstone Capital after the year. Lynch will still serve as chairman of the board of directors and president.

This news caused a great shock within the company. At the same time, Lynch also said at the meeting that in the next few years, the company's structure will be further reformed.

Supervisors will be responsible for more things and have more work content, but their power will be controlled to a certain extent.

This is also the reform that Blackstone Security must go through before entering the shelter era!
