Chapter 1145: flaw

Robert Cromwell said this, and the atmosphere suddenly silenced for a moment.

After a while, Robert Cromwell laughed and shook his head. "Well, I seem to show too many flaws."

Eric’s mouth also brought a smile and said: “If it’s not your last complaint to the politician, I might not know it. Bob, you really want to get the job, so you’ve just been very indifferent, but Trying to convince me. If I guess correctly, you envy the security intelligence departments of the authoritarian countries. The firefly system can provide you with a similar environment. Although we are not a country, we have sufficient economic strength. The most important thing is that in the fireflies, you won't be constrained by the system, just convince me alone."

"Yes," Robert Cromwell nodded and admitted. "Eric. Over the years, I have always wanted to build a perfect security intelligence team. But the truth is that the Special Operations Department is always Being more and more constrained is like dancing in a shackle. Even even some agents in the department who should have absolutely obeyed orders, like ordinary people, began to demand higher salaries and a more relaxed working environment, but they are There are more and more leaks at work. Can you imagine that an ordinary thief can easily get close to a big carnival in a nightclub and then easily steal their wallet. After the incident, the agent responsible for protection It is ridiculous to argue that they only ensure the personal safety of the target person."

Eric looked at the old man in front of the expression of almost indignant, could not help but said: "Bob, then how do you know, the team you create will not have a similar problem?"

Robert Cromwell said: "Eric is perfect without any team, but I can make sure that the kind of person I just don't appear in my team."

“It seems to be difficult,” Eric said. “You just said that this society is different. People always try to ask for more, but they want to pay less. What's more, we are not an official institution. It is impossible to bind a team with some moral ideas."

"You are wrong, Eric. As a social creature, human beings have the obedience to the ethnic group, the leader, and the strong. We only need to inspire this instinct to get a highly loyal Team, this kind of loyalty is never limited to one country. Any organization or even an individual can do it as long as it has enough strength."

"What do you mean, brainwashing?"

"Yes," Robert Cromwell nodded and smiled. "Eric, brainwashing is not as mysterious as ordinary people think, opening a small room, hanging photos of the heads, and then repeatedly brainwashing It is not like this instilling a thousand ideas. In simple terms, in this world, people in every country have unique living habits, ways of thinking, and even verbal emphasis. This is actually the brainwashing of individual individuals in the big environment. The effect. Therefore, we only need to put the teams that need to be trained in a certain environment, and accelerate the cultivation of their thinking and behavior habits through more intensive ways."

"But it is not easy to find such a group of people."

"Eric, your life is too good, I don't know that there are too many people in this world who are struggling to beg for an opportunity to change their lives."

"Of course I know," Eric said. "But, Bob, really, I need a really good person. But it has formed a paradox. People who are good enough usually don't have survival problems. They may not be willing to accept this kind of simple and boring bodyguard work. Just like the Secret Service, really, the work ability of the group is not mentioned for a while, the overall quality is hard to compliment, call The vicious incidents such as alcoholism, peony, and fighting have almost never been cut off. If you train such a team, I will never tolerate it."

"I personally can't tolerate it either," Robert Cromwell shook his head. "So, Eric, I will take very strict screening measures from the very beginning, and will be the first member of any problem. Kicking out the team, but this is only a short-term plan, because I know that you need to build a security team in a short time. But in the long-term planning, I hope that we can cultivate our own staff from the most source."

Eric raised his eyebrows slightly: "The most important source?"

Robert Cromwell did not evade, confessing: "An eight-year-old is a very suitable age."

"It sounds a bit like a movie plot."

"Movies have always been born out of reality."

Eric shook his head and said: "Bob, I don't want fireflies to be public enemies."

"Eric, you think this kind of thing is too serious," Robert Cromwell said: "We are not criminal organizations, and we do not intend to train these children into professional killers. Instead, we can be very formal To do this, the goal is just to cultivate the talent we need. Moreover, Eric, Firefly is already a world-class consortium, so you don't have to limit your eyes to the more demanding society in North America or Western Europe. In the system, we can do these things in Eastern Europe, Latin America, Asia and even Africa."

Eric gently rubbed the coffee cup in his hand and thought for a moment, "What is more specific?"

“First, set up a fund, set up a dedicated team, and choose the right 'seed' from all over the world. There are too many children born in the world who have high IQ but eventually annihilate life and cannot become elites. So, we actually It's easy to pick a lot of the best, and don't have to pay too much. In the poorer regions of Eastern Europe and Latin America, fireflies only need to pay $1,000 per 'seed' each year to buy them. Life, and then cultivate according to our methods. According to the scale of 10,000 'seeds', fireflies only need to pay 10 million US dollars a year. 10 million US dollars, Eric, this is totally worth mentioning for you. , isn't it?"

Eric nodded.

I remember that when I was chatting with everyone, Chris calculated according to Eric's personal account at that time. If he wants to spend all his wealth in his life, he needs to spend $8 million every day.

But now, the relevant data has become even more horrible.

According to the financial data of the companies in the Firefly System last year, as a major shareholder, if Eric is to extract profits, it will be enough to get a huge dividend of 4.6 billion US dollars from the company that has generated profits from the firefly system.

4.6 billion US dollars, just to spend this wealth, need to spend $ 1.26 million a day.

Moreover, this is far from the beginning, and the annual profit generated by the entire firefly system may reach tens of billions of dollars.

In comparison, $10 million is simply not worth mentioning.

But this can easily affect the life of 10,000 children.

Thinking so, Robert Cromwell is about to continue, Eric interrupted: "Bob, can you not use the word ‘seed?'”

Robert Cromwell groaned and smiled and nodded. "Of course, Eric. So, next, for these, um, children, we certainly don't need 10,000 people. So, I will take very Strict elimination mechanism, from eight years old to eighteen years old, ten years, it is enough to leave only 100 people. As long as I fully cultivate according to my assumptions, one percent of the chance of elimination, I can guarantee that by then This group of people will definitely become the most loyal guardian of the firefly system. Because the interests of fireflies, or the interests of the Williams family, have been deeply imprinted in their instinct during this decade-long cultivation process. Rick, if you need it, they can give everything for you, including life. And, with enough support, the entire training process can be cycled, and you get 100 such guards every year."

"Bob, I have to say that the prospects you portray make me very excited," Eric stared at the old man's gaze and said, "So, why are you doing this?"

Robert Cromwell did not escape Eric's gaze and looked forward with a calm look. "Eric, you can treat me as a blacksmith, one who wants to build the sharpest spear and the strongest shield." Craftsman. I was born in 1932. It was a time of turmoil and war. Although I was lucky enough to be born into a fairly good family, you know that in those wars, the death rate of the British aristocracy was far more than that of civilians. In the two world wars, many nobles were completely degraded because they lost their heirs, including my father and many relatives around me. From the beginning of sensibility, I hope to protect my country, and I really paid for it. For a lifetime. But in fact, I have never been satisfied with the results of my work, just like a blacksmith has never encountered a piece of steel that can forge a top-level blade."

Having said that, the old man paused for a moment and then slowly continued: "Now, there is just one chance to be in front of me. I hope to realize my long-cherished wish for many years. A craftsman makes the best tools, naturally. I want to let it play its due role. Moreover, it is very important that you are Jane’s son. Going up, your great-grandmother is actually Cromwell, maybe I don’t care, but you The body is indeed the blood of the Cromwell family, so you are the one who can be trusted by me to 'tools'. Otherwise, Eric, even if there is such an opportunity, I will not do it for outsiders. This thing."

When I heard that the old man finally said the blood, Eric felt a little uncomfortable. He took two coffees in front of him.

Robert smiled and waited for Eric to put down the cup and said: "Eric, I can see that you are alienated from your mother, but this is already the grievance of the previous generation. If possible, I still I hope that you can get closer to your maternal family. Jim, oh, that is Carly’s father, your embarrassment, although the character is somewhat old-fashioned, but he has always been awkward about your mother, if you recognize each other, even if you Still a poor boy who is not famous, he will definitely accept and try his best to help you."

Although I have been restraining curiosity about certain things, at this time, listening to Robert, Eric finally couldn't help but ask: "Bob, that year, that, what happened?"

"This is not what I can tell you," the old man shook his head. "If you want to know, you can ask your mother, she will tell you."

"That's still ok."

Eric also shook his head and he could feel that it was definitely a topic that everyone was very unhappy.

Robert smiled and said: "So, we can ask the waiter to order, just the thing, you can go back and think about it."

Olivia's unreserved trust, plus the old man has just said so much, Eric has basically decided.

However, after thinking about it, Eric said: "Bob, there is still a problem, you just said, you, um, you are 67 years old?"

"Yes," Rob nodded, but apparently did not worry about his age. "However, I think I will work for another ten years."

"But always consider the issue of successors, and you need someone to help, isn't it?" Eric said: "Exactly, I can recommend two students to you."

Robert looked at Eric for a moment and smiled: "Women?"

"twin."

"Oh, if they are willing, bring it to me. In fact, women are more suitable for this profession than men. They are calm and meticulous, and they are more obedient than men. However, usually, everyone is holding women. There is a big bias."

"I think so too. And, you may already know something. So, I hope that at least half of the team you train will be a woman."

"It seems that I have got the job," Robert nodded with a smile and said: "I can promise you this."

"There is just the plan, one percent of the chance of elimination, it is cruel. The fund you are expecting will make a global student fund, even if those children are eliminated, I I also hope that they will continue to receive funding and have an opportunity to change their lives."

"Eric, you are a very kind person, that's great," Robert applauded and nodded. "And, from a professional point of view, doing so can also cover our real plans. But if The whole plan has to be carried out in a loop. For a simple fund, the goal is too obvious. It is best to set up different funds scattered around the country."

"Bob, these details, you can discuss with my assistant, Kelly Haynes. She is currently working on a plan, I plan to set up a security company that serves the entire firefly system. If you want, Bob, You can be personally responsible for this company in the future."

"Eric, you may need to find another person," Robert shook his head and said: "I am responsible for selecting the training team, the specific company management work, I am not very good at it."

Eric just said that there are some final temptations. Listening to him, the last trace of concern in his heart has also been put down.

After all, Eric did not intend to hand over the security company to a person. If there is an absolute control, it can only be himself.

As for the specific operation, Eric intends to be coordinated by Carter Moen and Kelly Haynes, and the three people in front of each other, each of whom is responsible for different departments. This is the management of Eric's ideals. structure.
