Blackstone Code

Humans are very strange creatures.

In the cognition of many people, it seems that the louder the voice, the more reasonable the words are. This is very strange.

Sometimes speaking loudly is a sign of guilt, but people will feel that their words are more convincing because of their louder voices.

Looking at those small shareholders speaking loudly with red faces, Catherine, who was sitting on the stage, was full of disdain and contempt for these people.

Connor patted the microphone, "Quiet."

The chaotic conference room was quiet for a while, but only for a moment. After a few seconds, it began to "boil" again. Connor is the second largest individual shareholder after Lynch.

But the gap between this second largest and Lynch, the first, is of an order of magnitude. Connor only has 1% of the shares. In the integration of shares, he and the board of directors do not have an advantage.

As people's voices became louder and louder, Lynch did not suddenly appear, which made them confirm again that Lynch was really out of touch.

They would not worry about someone who had already lost contact!

Looking at these shareholders who seemed to want to run to the stage, the expressions of each director were ugly. They had fallen into the quagmire of desire and could not extricate themselves.

When someone proposed "counting votes", the chaotic hall finally quieted down, and all the small shareholders with voting rights raised their hands unwaveringly.

Soon, the vast majority of small shareholders raised their hands. They had already surpassed the board of directors in terms of voting rights, and the proposal was passed without controversy.

Two shareholders who represented the interests of small shareholders took the initiative to stand up. Looking at these two people, Connor knew very well that they might be the representatives of the shareholders below the stage after the distribution of interests had been completed.

In other words, they had already discussed who would be responsible for which aspect after taking over the company, and how to distribute the interests.

Are these people stupid?

From his point of view, these people are stupid.

The consequence of fighting for power and profit is to split and disintegrate the company, and from a unified super giant enterprise to many parallel enterprises, and then compete, spread, and go back and forth.

In the end, it will return to the beginning. All companies are competing for the market and users, focusing on meaningless things, and then losing a lot of time, financial resources, and manpower in exchange for meaningless results.

It is actually the best to maintain the current situation. The board of directors decides everything, everyone has a stable dividend, and no one is dissatisfied.

But people's desires are insatiable. People know that they should not do this, but they will never really not do it.

Just like people often say to others "you should exercise", but they themselves rarely or never exercise.

Two shareholder representatives walked to the stage, "Vice Chairman Connor, the voting results of the shareholders' meeting have come out. We have ensured that it is fair, just, transparent and open, and the resolution was passed in one vote. Should we continue to implement it?"

The voice of the representative who spoke trembled slightly, and his inner world was colorful and trembling. Connor looked at Catherine, Catherine was silent, and he looked at others again, and no one spoke.

Just when he was about to say something, the door of the conference hall was suddenly opened.

Four robots pushed open the door, and Aurora slowly walked in from outside.

It uses a completely bionic module, making it look like a lifelike real person, so that people didn't react to who it was at first!

Catherine breathed a sigh of relief when she saw it come in.

"Who are you?" someone asked.

Aurora glanced at the man, walked directly to the podium, and stood next to Catherine, "I am Aurora."

Many people's "view" of Aurora at this time is still that it is just the company's property. As a property, it has no right to interfere with the company's decisions, but will be interfered with by the company's decisions.

So one of the representatives of the minority shareholders stood up, "This is not the place for you to come, leave here immediately, otherwise we will replace your code!"

He felt that this was a threat, although he was not sure whether it would work on Aurora.

Aurora looked at him for a while, "Mr. Lynch had foreseen everything that happened today before he left, and he has something to say to you."

Then, Lynch's holographic projection appeared next to Aurora, and he looked at the conference hall with a spirit as if he could see everything that happened here.

In fact, when recording this video, there was no one in front of him.

Seeing Lin Qi suddenly appear, everyone was shocked, but then they realized that this was just a holographic projection, a video.

He recorded it a long time ago and played it now. He himself was lost in the nebula and even died!

What's there to be afraid of with a video?

He crossed his hands and placed them in front of him. "It's about a week before I leave the solar system. I have been thinking about a question."

"When I lose contact with the earth temporarily, will there be some turmoil?"

He took two steps to the side. "This is likely to happen, because I know better than any of you how terrible its temptation is."

"There will always be people who do stupid things for something that doesn't belong to them."

"There has never been a lack of such lessons in history. When we read history books before, we just felt like reading about things that happened in ancient times."

“But now, I believe we will have a feeling of ‘history repeating itself’, just like the scenes that happened, in the palace, in front of the king, in the cathedral, everything that happened happened again.”

“Only this time, it happened here!”, Lynch pointed to the ground, just like a real living person, making some people start to waver, even timid.

"The ravine of desire can never be filled, but we can choose whether to jump in. I believe that many people actually realized this from the beginning."

"When I can leave without leaving any disposal methods, there must be follow-up measures, but you want to gamble."

"Just like those coup plotters in history, who want to gamble that they can succeed, you don't believe me, and don't believe that even if I leave, you still have no choice."

"This time, history will not repeat itself."

He returned to his original position and looked at the entire conference hall, "Giving up the foolish and greedy thoughts in your mind is the best choice I give you."

"You all know that I am a tolerant person. We have worked together for so long, and I don't want this to be the last time we meet."

"So, I will give you a chance, and I hope you cherish this opportunity."

"From now on, Aurora will take over my job and be responsible for the operation of the entire solar system. You must have always wanted to know what I left behind. Now, you know!"

"I hope you don't live the rest of your life... Too miserable, because it's not me. "

He turned and looked at Aurora, "Is it recorded?"

Aurora's voice came from the surrounding, "Yes, Mr. Lynch, it has been recorded. Do I need to pass this video to Ms. Catherine or Mr. Connor?"

Lynch walked out of the projection range, but his voice could still be heard, "No, no."

"Humans are great. We created everything we are proud of today."

"But humans are dirty and small. We always try to conquer everything we see and occupy everything that does not belong to us."

"Humans are contradictory individuals, and I don't want to add more work to them, so in the next period of time, I will trouble you to deal with those annoying tasks. I hope you don't mind. "

Aurora: "It's my honor, Mr. Lynch,"

"What level do I need to do?"

Lynch: "When I come back, it won't be messed up by anyone!"

The projection ended, and people watched Aurora's expression constantly changing. Connor leaned back in his chair and breathed a sigh of relief.

He was really afraid that if Lynch asked him to temporarily manage everything here, those idiots would definitely push him to the opposite side of Lynch, even if he didn't want to do that.

Sometimes, some things are not impossible just because you say no. There will always be people who will do those things under your name, making it appear that you did something that was not done by you.

Catherine also breathed a sigh of relief. Managing a federation was a bit too much for her to handle. If she managed the entire solar system, she would go crazy.

But those small shareholders were very dissatisfied!

The representative of the minority shareholder suddenly said loudly, "This is a fake video. We all know that Aurora is very intelligent. It can make up a video for us to believe is true."

"I don't admit it is true. Mr. Lynch never said that, and no normal person would give this power to an...artificial intelligence."

"It has no ability to handle all this. It will only make the whole society a mess!"

"How can an intelligent code understand the management of social order?"

"Someone must be behind all this!"

They connected, quarreled, incited, and made deals behind the scenes, all for the purpose of dividing up the power next. Now they suddenly pressed the stop button, they will not recognize it!

Aurora kept that expression, "You can question, but you can't resist. This is the final decision of Mr. Lynch and the company, and you must comply."

"This is a forged order. You are trying to take away what belongs to all of us. You are the greediest one!"

He turned to look at Connor, "Mr. Vice Chairman, I propose to manage Aurora's server immediately, and reopen it after we complete the transfer of equity according to the process."

Before Connor could say anything, a hole appeared on the head of this small shareholder...

Something happened temporarily, and there is another chapter later
