The first genius of American manga

Chapter 200 Individual and Macro

Parker has enhanced brain and eyesight, so he can read contracts much faster than ordinary people (These days, it would be too embarrassing to be a superman without these two abilities)

That's why Parker has a weird expression.

"Khan, I read this contract, and to be honest I don't really believe it."

"Don't believe it? You mean this contract is fake?"

Parker shook his head.

"Although I have never had a formal job, I have worked a lot part-time and have seen many contracts. Your contract is definitely a valid contract from the format, but the terms above..."

"Is there a problem with the terms? I asked our company's legal department to put their effort into writing them. Are there any errors or overbearing clauses in them?"

"It's not a domineering clause, but it's unreasonable. To put it bluntly, this contract is just like giving away money for free. Khan, although I am poor, I will never ask for charity from others, so you should take it back.

"

"Alms? Do you think this contract is a kind of charity? Hahahaha..."

Wang Khan was immediately amused. He smiled and looked at Gwen. Gwen shook her head slightly and spoke.

"Peter Parker, you must have gone to college, right? I seem to have seen your name in the alumni directory of Columbia University."

Parker nodded. He did go to college, but it was a pity that he had to drop out later. It wasn't because of his poor academic performance. As a modified person, his intelligence was far beyond ordinary people. What's more, the Parker family's genes were already very good, even if he didn't become a spider.

Xia, he can also become a very accomplished scientist, and ordinary university courses will not be a problem for him at all.

The reason why I took a break from school was because I had no money. Universities in beautiful countries are not cheap, especially famous schools. Unless you can get a full scholarship or your family has a mine, almost all college students have to apply for student loans. There are many

College graduates have been working for decades and still have no way to pay off their student loans.

Secondly, he wanted to be Spider-Man, which caused him to miss a lot of classes and had no way of graduating. In the end, he had to drop out of school. It must be said that Parker sacrificed a lot for the saying "With great power comes great responsibility."

thing.

"Since you have gone to college, you should have taken an economics course, right? Let me test you, Parker. What is the most important thing for economic development?"

Parker thought about it and felt that there were many answers to this question. If he really answered it, he felt that even writing a paper might not be able to answer it comprehensively.

"We must have competitive products, core technologies, production volume, and sales..."

Gwen interrupted Parker with a wave of her hand.

"These are all ways to increase economic profits that you mentioned. These are not problems for the current umbrella. I know why you said this contract is a charity, because it does not conform to the capitalist operating model. Everyone in our company

The city pays you a high salary every month but doesn’t require you to do anything, so you think it’s unreasonable, right?”

Parker nodded slightly, as if a company came to him and said, "From now on, you don't have to do anything every month and you can just sleep every day. Then the company will give you a salary of 1 million US dollars every month!"

At first glance, it is indeed a charity, and the amount of money given is quite large, comparable to that of senior executives of large companies.

"If you are an ordinary person, then this contract is indeed a charity, but you are not. You are a good neighbor in New York, a world-famous Spider-Man, and most importantly, you are a person who regards saving the weak as his life mission.

Hero, even if we don't ask for anything, you will maintain the peace of the community, right?"

Parker nodded again, he was extremely sure of this. No matter what happened, he was Spider-Man and would not allow any crime to happen in front of him.

"That's fine. As long as you continue to be Spider-Man, it will be a big profit for our company. We only need to pay a monthly price of 1 million US dollars for this, which is really nothing."

Parker still doesn't understand, or perhaps all people who have been brainwashed by Western capitalism don't understand, how can you still get money for being a vigilante? This is so inconsistent with capitalist values.

Even if some organizations also fund people with superpowers, that is not to allow superpowers to serve as vigilantes, but to become thugs and bodyguards of capital. If Umbrella funds Parker and lets him work for Umbrella Company, that is capitalism.

The behavior style. It is definitely not like this now, where you don’t need to do anything and just maintain the status quo.

Seeing that Parker still didn't understand, Wang Khan secretly lamented that the poison of capitalism was indeed very serious, and he had to speak.

"Parker, what do you think the Umbrella Corporation means to New New York?"

"This... your company is equivalent to the king of New New York. I'm afraid the city government will be controlled by you, right?"

"Haha, you really dare to say that the current mayor is my future father-in-law. Are you trying to sow discord between me and my fiancée?"

Gwen blushed, and Parker quickly waved his hand.

"I didn't mean that, I just..."

"Well, you're actually right. The Umbrella Company has the final say in New New York now. The Umbrella Company is equivalent to the actual manager here. Since it is a manager, you can't just look at the immediate interests when doing anything.

But we need to think about the problem from a more macro perspective. Since it is a macro perspective, good public security and stable situation are the most important for a city's economy."

"If it's like New York in the past, there will be a wave of gang shootouts on the streets every three days, and there are evil forces entrenched in every community, it will greatly affect the image of the new New York and undermine the confidence of investors. After all, no one is serious.

Businessmen will do business in a city where even the personal safety of citizens cannot be guaranteed."

"The police are often constrained by the law. It's okay for them to fight against criminals, but they are powerless when faced with gangs who are good at exploiting legal loopholes, and you don't have to care about that."

"As long as you are sure that they are engaged in criminal activities, just start fighting. If something happens, the umbrella will send the best team of lawyers to help you with the lawsuit. You only need to adhere to your past behavior style. From an individual point of view, you

This contract seems like our company has suffered a big loss, but from a macro perspective, we actually made a lot of money, do you understand now?"

As smart as Parker, he now fully understands that this simple truth is easy to understand. The reason why Parker couldn't figure it out just now is because there has never been a private enterprise in a capitalist country like this.

Not to mention private companies, even many government agencies only focus on profits. Things like issuing fines and bonuses have long been a common phenomenon. It is impossible to spend money to support vigilantes.

After understanding all this, Parker did not refuse and decisively signed his name on the contract. After all, Parker was not a saint. He now had an aunt to support and a girlfriend by his side. If he only relied on part-time jobs to maintain his life, it would be really difficult for him.

It's so hard.

As the saying goes, money is the courage of a hero. If you don’t have money, you still want to be a hero? Why is Iron Man the most popular in Avengers? Isn’t it because he is rich?!

Now that such a good opportunity was presented to him, Parker was not stupid, so he would not refuse it.

After sending the Parker family away, Gwen whispered: "Are you really not going to capture him?"

"There is no need. I have already obtained the spider serum. There is no need to bother Parker anymore. Besides, a person can become a hero not only by relying on super strength, but more importantly, by the spirit of self-sacrifice. At this point, Parker deserves everything

People learn, I just don’t want this rare heroic fire to be blown out by the cold wind of reality.”

Just as he was talking, the Red Queen's voice came.

"Guardian, Natasha and Maria Hill went to contact Steve Rogers."

When Wang Khan heard this, he knew that the three aerospace carriers were about to take off, and that Washington, which had just experienced the war, was going to be in bad luck again.
