Chapter 1019: Its enough to be responsible for yourself
"Why?!" Tony was very hurt. He really planned the Avengers seriously. This plan took him more than half a month. During this period, he even gave up all his research and put his own
He put all his time into it, and it can be said that this is his proud work!
He swore that this was the first time he had made a plan so seriously.
In the eyes of the outside world, Tony Stark is not only a scientific genius, but also a business genius, otherwise he would not have developed the Stark Group into what it is now.
But the fact is that outside opinions are often incomplete. Is Tony a genius?
Of course, there is no doubt about it.
But in business... it's not necessarily the case.
You said why Stark Group became the number one consortium in the United States under his leadership? Isn't it because of his business talent?
Haha, the person who said this just doesn’t understand the operation of the company at all. With Stark’s willful and mean-tongued personality, he knows a lot about hammer business! Of course, it’s a bit arbitrary to say this. After all, he was born into a wealthy family, and he has been influenced by his knowledge of business.
His sensitivity is indeed higher than that of many people, and he is very smart and can understand many things at once. But compared with those business tycoons, he is far behind. There are two reasons why Stark Group can develop so quickly.
.
First, it is because the foundation left by Howard Stark is too strong. The stock god Buffett said that the fastest time for him to accumulate wealth in his life was after he was sixty years old. Why? Not because of those chicken soup articles.
The real reason for the mess is that he was accumulating capital before he was sixty years old!
The capital game is the most unfair game. Those with money can make more money, while those without money have a harder time making money. Howard Stark left Tony an unimaginable amount of wealth.
This is the biggest reason in itself!
Capital market resources are not equally distributed, but transformed into wealth distribution. In other words, the richer people are now, the more resources they have under the current situation. These resources include social resources, public resources, policy resources, and network resources.
, capital resources, natural resources, etc. Money is a symbol of wealth, and wealth is the realization of resources. For the poor in current society, because they do not own resources, do not control resources, and have no resources available, they want to turn around in the short term.
Counterattack is even more difficult than reaching the sky. Rich people are different. They control or utilize resources through various channels, which naturally makes it easier to make money. It’s a very simple reason.
Because Tony himself is very, very rich, it is very, very easy for him to make money!
Having a good father is important no matter where you are.
Second, do you know what a professional manager is?
Does Tony need to manage the company personally? No! There are a large number of workers to help him create wealth. Why did Obadiah Stane kill Tony in the first place? Because he felt it was unfair. Stark Group is indeed Howard
It was founded by Obadiah, but Obadiah was also involved in the whole process. If you really want to talk about his contribution, his contribution is not small at all.
The soul of the Stark Group is indeed the astonishing creativity and IQ of the two Stark fathers and sons, but in business, no one can deny the contribution of Obadiah Stane. Without him,
In terms of business operations, it is impossible for the Stark Group to develop to this point.
After working hard for this company for decades, in the end, he still has to be in Stark's shadow. Others only pay attention to Howard and Tony, as if just one person can achieve the same achievements as Obadiah Stane.
.
After a long time, who can bear it?
Obadiah Stane feels he deserves more!
So I finally took the risk!
But one thing Obadiah Stany did well was that he knew who his enemy was. No matter how Obadiah Stany dealt with Tony, he cared very much about the Stark Group, so the Stark Group
We have always had a top-notch business operations team.
Up to now, Pepper has done quite well. The reason why she became the president of Stark Group is not only because she is Tony's girlfriend, but also because others have real abilities.
In short, although the outside world has always believed that Tony is a genius across science and business, in fact, his talent in business cannot be compared with his talent in science.
Naturally, he had never made any PPT or plans. In the past, Obadiah did those tasks, and then Pepper did them.
He himself doesn't need to worry about this at all.
But now, the plan he had spent so long preparing for the Avengers, was rejected by Kai so quickly!
It's strange that Tony can accept it.
Kai looked at Tony helplessly... It was hard to believe that Tony was the head of a large consortium and had no political sensitivity at all.
What is the same thing between a single gangster and a mafia-type organization?
Kai doesn't understand politics, but he is a police officer!
When he was in China, he was very clear about the difference between organized and unorganized!
A poor gangster, no matter how powerful he is, can't destroy social order. But organized crime is different, it can actually affect social order!
Gangs are actually a kind of grassroots power organization. When grassroots power is lacking, society will naturally have substitutes. Gangs are often this substitute. The best example is Brazil. This country has no grassroots governance institutions at all, so
Gangs controlled large and small slums, and in the end, the government and the police lost control of those gang-controlled areas. Gangs collected taxes and made laws there, completely like a state within a state.
It is a bit insulting to say that superheroes are gangsters. But for the government, it is actually not much different. They all replace certain powers of the government.
Although superheroes fighting alone are an eyesore, due to the situation and public opinion, the government may pinch their noses and admit it. But superheroes united together... they have everything. This is what they want to do.
What?
There is no shortage of armed forces, popular support, and various resources... This is the rhythm of a rebellion every minute!
Even if a superhero has a high moral level, he will not rebel.
But the question is, if you do this, how will the public think?
Oh, if you have something to do with the Superhero League, why do you need the government? Just to collect taxes from them?
In short, the nature is different!
"Have you ever thought about the government's attitude?" Kai directly pointed to the crux of the problem.
"What attitude? They may be a little unhappy! But I will convince them, you know, I am very good at this." Tony still doesn't care, after all, he has always been a privileged class, and he can do whatever he wants.
arrive.
In this regard, the government almost takes whatever it wants, as long as the benefits are in place.
"Hey...don't you have a qualified consultant by your side?" Kai said bluntly.
"What's the meaning?"
"It means that the reason why the government tolerated you before was entirely because the things you wanted were insignificant things. Of course they wouldn't care. But what are you going to do now? You are going to organize a group and completely break away from the government.
, an organization with huge financial resources and huge force. Strictly speaking, everyone you organized is a criminal. What’s even more frightening is that these criminals also have a high rate of popular support... What? You plan to establish a new government
?”
Kai said helplessly: "You are planning to dig up their roots and directly compete with them for power and profit. It's strange that they can tolerate it!"
Tony's eyes widened and he defended: "I didn't..."
"No, no, no, Tony, don't say such stupid things. This is not a question of whether you want to, but whether you can! You can join politics. Although you still fight for power and gain, it is within the rules. But what you are doing now is
, start a new one, break the rules and play by yourself. This is not a question of whether you think about it or not. The moment you decide to form such an alliance, it means that you and the government are on opposite sides."
Tony was very smart and quickly understood the key.
But he still didn't give up: "We can cooperate with the government!"
"Ha! Don't be ridiculous, then you should play by yourself. There is no way other people will pay attention to you!" Kai laughed and said directly: "Is it possible for Batman to accept government supervision? Do you think the government will let Hannibal go?
? Or do you want the King of Knights to obey the government's arrangements? As for the others...except for a few people, I guess no one wants to be supervised by the government and become a lackey. Even I don't like this situation."
If it is not regulated by the government, it will definitely conflict with the government.
But this would conflict with the original intention of the Avengers. After all, the purpose of the Avengers is to deal with crises that ordinary people cannot cope with, rather than to compete with the government for power and profit. Furthermore, the relationship with the government has become tense.
, except for making things more effective with twice the result, there is no benefit. Never underestimate the government's ability to delay and play dirty tricks.
Tony and Kai can live such a prosperous life, with people coaxing them wherever they go, and the government is also unambiguous when it comes to cooperating. Isn't that because they openly stand with the government?
Would you like to try another position?
Tony simply took this kind of preferential treatment for granted, so he had such thoughts.
You only think this way if you are used to being self-centered.
No one in this world except your parents will accommodate you unconditionally. Even if your name is Tony Stark.
But if you accept government supervision, it would be even more ridiculous. Why do superheroes wear masks? Is it really because they are cool?
Don't be ridiculous, their attributes are naturally incompatible with the government!
This is a natural contradiction!
In fact, most wild superheroes don't trust the government either.
So Tony's idea doesn't work at all.
Tony sat down on the sofa and frowned.
He didn't understand why it was obviously a good thing... why was it so difficult?
"Besides, is it really that important to establish this name?" Kai then asked?
Is this alliance a good thing? Of course it is, since we can share what we need and make many things easier. But is it not necessary?
That's not necessarily the case.
"I just think this allows us to do more and better."
"That's right! I admit it, but you can't deny that it's not necessary, right?" Kai could understand this approach, but he didn't agree: "Superheroes have the advantages of superheroes, but we can't become the government, let alone
It’s impossible to replace the government! I can understand your damn perfectionism, but the problem is that nothing perfect can happen in this world. You are not God!”
Kai was actually quite annoyed by Tony's hopeless arrogance.
Yes, that's arrogance.
He thinks he can do everything perfectly!
But is this possible?
Doing this will do no good except drive yourself crazy!
"This society is not your laboratory. Everything there can be reflected by data, everything is clear at a glance, and you can control everything there. But the real society is composed of people one by one, and you can never control everyone!"
Kai always felt that there was something wrong with this guy's ideas, and he said this more than once. But he always fell into such emotions unconsciously again. (How many things did Tony cause because of this emotion? Because of his own psychological shadow, he created O
Tron...because of his own self-righteous thoughts, he triggered a civil war. Of course, Steve's shielding of the Winter Soldier was no better.)
Tony looked at Kai and found that Kai still had the same expression. He immediately felt disappointed and leaned on the sofa, looking very unhappy.
Only then did Kai persuade him: "Isn't it good now?"
"But we are in disarray!" Tony shouted unhappily.
"So what? Normally, everyone does their own thing. If you really encounter something that you can't handle, just ask someone, and everyone can still help. Is there any problem?"
"But it's so efficient..."
"Do you need us to come up with a KPI for someone? Do you need to go public to be a superhero? Almost everyone who becomes a vigilante does it out of their own inner choice. We never intend to be responsible for anyone. To put it bluntly,
We are just a group of people who talk to themselves. From a utilitarian point of view, we help others to get psychological satisfaction, not to complete the tasks assigned to us!"
Kai's words are a bit naked, but this is the essence of the problem. I help others simply because I can help others, and I also get psychological satisfaction from it!
What's wrong with this?
Did Tony become a superhero because someone gave him a task that he had to complete?
no?
It’s not because he wants to!
"The only person we need to be responsible for is ourselves! Some people are willing to retain their identity so that they can enjoy life as a normal person instead of being supervised, just like going to work. They must do this and that! If that is really the case,
So what’s the point of being a vigilante?”
The same goes for Kai. The reason why he did it was not because someone asked him to do it, but because he simply wanted to do it!
He loves being a cop!
He also saves people, he wants to save people!
It's not who ordered him to do that.
This is important!
"Besides, if you really want to make everyone better, there are no other ways. Why should Mao bear such a ridiculous name...Avengers... There is really something wrong with the aesthetics of those people in SHIELD.
, it’s like a bunch of losers seeking revenge. And why the hell do they have to advertise it widely and cause so much trouble for nothing?”
Tony is just asking for trouble by doing this.
For example, in Hannibal, if Tony's idea really succeeds, what will Tony do if the government asks Hannibal to hand over the secret of rejuvenation?
Helping the government? Haha, Hannibal took the blame for you!
Help Hannibal? Then you have to go against the government.
Is it necessary?
How good it is now that Hannibal and the government have solved the whole mess by themselves. What does it have to do with Tony? Who would bother Tony about this matter?
"Everyone can communicate with each other, stay hidden, and tacitly understand each other. If you want to help others, you can, just do it secretly. Even if the government finds out, it will turn a blind eye, just like
Me, everyone knows that I have good relationships with many people. But have you ever seen anyone trouble me because of this? What should I do if I am not the same? I have to cause trouble for myself just because of my reputation... This is not the case
Are you sick?"
If you do some things in secret, no one will care at all.
But if you want to put it on the table, that's not good.
