The social phobia substitute will not dream of the band girl

"Mr. Hirashin really loves monsters... If monsters really existed on Earth, what would you do?"

"As for me... I really want to find a way to coexist with them."

"Oh? Then why? Aren't you afraid of these beings that are too powerful for humans?"

Seeing that Dr. Serizawa had finally taken the bait, Hirashin drank tea to hide the deeper meaning behind his smile before slowly answering, "If humans were able to do it in the past, why can't we do it now?"

"..."

This is a seemingly simple point of view, but it also has some depth.

Human beings are incomplete creatures that are still evolving, not only undergoing subtle changes physiologically, but also evolving intellectually, socially, and spiritually.

While people have discarded some hair, claws, and animal nature, they have also gained clothes, tools, and rational wisdom. But are modern humans necessarily superior to ancient humans in all aspects?

The answer is not necessarily. At least in some aspects, modern humans are not as good as their ancestors, such as the courage to face the unknown and irresistible forces.

"And don't you think that today's human beings are spiritually defective? People would rather believe in stupid shoe religions, believe in the supremacy of money and power, and are unwilling to have even a little respect for the nature that nurtured us—"

Hirashin struck a pose pointing at the universe.

"...What do you think?"

"Humanity needs a common enemy, or perhaps a common goal or belief... If monsters exist, these natural incarnations of primal power might bring a little reflection to humanity."

Seeing Serizawa lost in thought, Hirashin smiled again.

Smart people are easy to deceive, although they are not completely deceiving.

"Humans have been the masters of the Earth, the primates of all creatures, for far too long... so long that they have lost themselves, mistakenly believing themselves to be the most powerful, powerful enough to rule arbitrarily.

These giants might give humanity a little room for reflection... At the same time, humanity should also learn how to get along with powerful beings, otherwise if aliens attack one day, they won't be able to raise the white flag~"

"..."

Dr. Serizawa thought of Dr. Mark and Dr. Emma Russell, whom he met a few years ago. Will the ORCA they developed become a revolutionary device that changes the face of communication between species?

And if the behemoths appear again...in large numbers and one after another, how will humans face them then?

"Well, it seems you have some ideas as well—but that's okay, let's eat and talk at the same time. Replenishing some energy can help people think better."

......

...

..

"So all of this was done by Pingjun? How amazing!"

In the East, there may be many men who can cook, but there are really not many who still insist on cooking after getting married, let alone such delicious food.

"Haha, quite a surprise, huh? I made this meal worth the effort, it's great!...By the way, Dr. Serizawa, would you like some wine? I have some high-quality wine here that someone gave me~"

"No, forget about alcohol... Alcohol affects my ability to think, so I usually don't drink."

Seeing his current appearance, Ping Xin was even happier.

It seems that because he is always traveling around the world, Dr. Serizawa has long been accustomed to eating fast food and nutritious meals. Therefore, when he eats authentic and delicious hometown dishes and some Yan country cuisine, his taste buds are fully satisfied.

What made him happy was not only the guests eating with hearty mouthfuls, but also what he had just said... Being willing to explain the reason meant that you had a certain status in the other person's heart.

"Don't be so quick to refuse, Dr. Serizawa... If you don't drink it yourself, it would be great to give it as a gift or share it with your colleagues in the Imperial Organization~"

"Then I'll be disrespectful in refusing...!?"

Chapter 15 Don't underestimate my intelligence network

"Mr. Ping Xin... So you knew about the existence of the Imperial Organization?"

"Don't underestimate my intelligence network, Dr. Serizawa. For a businessman, intelligence is life... But our initial contact was truly accidental. I learned about the existence of the Monarch Organization only as an unexpected gain after tracking down your strange movements—"

This is a lie, but it is a white lie that can actually open up the conversation and prevent the other person from feeling repelled.

"Does your wife, Ms. Tiaoyue, also know about this?"

After some hesitation, Ichiro Serizawa decided to recruit Hirayuma.

Because the young entrepreneur's wisdom, ideas and financial resources were recognized by him as a professional, and most importantly, the other party was so honest and did not lie!

"She's not very interested in monsters, but is more concerned with running the company. But she knows everything about me, and she would never betray me. Otherwise, I would have been kicked out long ago and become a homeless person in the park (madao), ahahaha~~~~"

"I see......"

After Hironobu's explanation, Dr. Serizawa accepted the situation without further hesitation. Although somewhat surprised, his ability to fully accept this "abnormal situation" showed that he was a true talent.

"But how did you find out? Could it be..."

"No, it's not what you think, Doctor... As I said, intelligence is very important to businessmen, so I have informants all over the world.

As long as people pass through this world, they will leave clues. What I do is just to organize these clues and then deduce the final result. It’s not difficult~”

The more casually and effortlessly he spoke, the higher Serizawa Ichiro's opinion of Hirayobu became, and the more he believed that he was a talent who could help the organization.

"So what do you want from us?"

"Some compelling photos and videos? Some data on monster scraps, fossils, and murals that you don't need? When..."

Ping Xin was gesticulating while speaking, appearing very excited, like a child who had received a promise from his parents and was thinking about what birthday present to get.

"Of course, I will donate a large amount of money to you, free of charge. And you just need to give me some less confidential and unnecessary things, and of course I won't disclose them to anyone else."

"What...are you trying to do with all this? Scientific research? Honestly, it's hard to find anything truly valuable—"

"No, no, no!" Serizawa was interrupted by Hiranobu waving his hand mid-sentence: "I want to build a museum... a monster museum that only I and some friends and family can visit!"

"..."

Well, Serizawa suddenly felt that his previous psychological struggle was in vain, stupid and useless.

Because no matter how you look at it, the young man in front of me is a man with too much money and nowhere to spend it, and he is also an extremely fanatical monster enthusiast. Are the hobbies of rich people so hardcore nowadays?

"I...can't agree to your request right away, but I can promise to pass it on truthfully."

"Of course, I understand. After all, if you want to maintain stability, you have to follow the rules... Otherwise, monsters might appear somewhere and deal with those who disrupt the balance—"

Serizawa Ichiro suspects Hiranobu knows more, but has no evidence.

But at least at this moment, he and the organization behind him will no longer underestimate his intelligence network.

......

...

..

"Mr. Pingxin, once you sign this contract, you'll become one of us... Now, please review the terms, and your wife too."

After looking carefully for a while, the messenger from headquarters began to laugh at Ping Xin in his heart. Although he didn't know how he got Dr. Serizawa's recommendation, a nouveau riche is still a nouveau riche.

"I have a problem with the numbers here... a lot of problems."

Brayton looked at where Pingxin was pointing and saw that it was a number about how much he needed to donate to "buy" a membership seat in the organization.

He laughed inwardly but smiled outwardly: "Mr. Ping, $10 billion a year is already the lowest price we can offer..."

"Yeah, it's really low...it needs to be at least doubled."

???

This is the first time I heard someone complain about the price not because it was too expensive, but because the other party’s price was too cheap. Is this nouveau riche crazy?

"So... 20 billion per year?"

"Less."

Ping Xin shook his head.

"What about 30 billion?...50 billion!?"

Ping Xin continued to smile and shake his head. It felt really good to tease the clown, and even better things were yet to come.

"One...ten billion?"

Bretton spoke in a low voice, just like his humble attitude at the moment, fearing that a little disrespect on his part would make this big deal disappear like dust.

"No, no, no, my friend, you can be a little bolder..." Ping Xin shook his finger: "One hundred times... I'll give you 1000 billion to buy your 'trust'."

"One hundred billion?"

And buy our trust! ?

This kind of transaction without any guarantee can be said to be a complete waste of money, which is no different from giving the money to them for free!

"Could it be...Eastern currency?"

"No, no, no, of course it's 1000 billion US dollars. Do you want me to say it again?"

"No, no, no, how dare I, how dare I..."

Although he still has the impression of a nouveau riche in his mind at the moment, I believe it will soon be replaced by the more glittering image of the "God of Wealth".

"Then may I ask..."

"Where does this money come from? Of course it comes from my business~"

"No, no, no, how could I question your character? Mr. Ping must be a traditional Asian man who is kind, brave, honest and trustworthy."

Oh, face~

In 12, Hei Nobuyuki and Chozuki Rin borrowed a small amount of start-up capital from the Eastern Yakuza and politicians to complete the initial accumulation of capital.

In 13, it took advantage of the Bitcoin wave to become one of the richest companies in the world...at least on the surface.

Now his company is one of the Internet giants, with a series of representative products such as Tik Tok (the international version of Douyin). It has also made many achievements in the industrial field and has a huge influence among people of all ages, especially the younger generation.

At the same time, he also actively invested in some old companies that went bankrupt due to poor management, and also invested in many emerging industries, and was far ahead in artificial intelligence and other fields.

Although it is inevitable that he has benefited from the dividends of the times and taken advantage of many foresights, not everyone can accomplish such a feat.

"Now, could you please contact headquarters again, Mr. Bratton?"

Chapter 16 Two Years Later

"Dear Mr. Ping, sorry to have kept you waiting..."

A special envoy who was older and more senior than Brereton came from afar. He rushed over as soon as he got off the plane and lowered his head with thinning hair.

"Good afternoon, Mr. Braley... Not much earlier than scheduled, but not late either, which is fortunate considering Tokyo traffic conditions."

This time, Ichiro Serizawa and Bretton were also waiting nearby. Rion Chozuki was not present because she had to go to the company, so today there were only four grown men sitting here looking at each other.

"Mr. Ping, please allow me to confirm again... You are going to 'donate' 1000 billion US dollars, correct?"

"Yeah... Otherwise, in how many lifetimes will I have enough materials to build my monster museum? Not to mention my monster resort, monster maze, and real monster game. Who can fill in the gaps in my missing materials?"

"..."

Although I had heard about it a long time ago, there seemed to be something wrong with Mr. Ping. Are the mental conditions of rich people nowadays so worrying?

"I know you're all confused... After all, in the eyes of scholars like Dr. Serizawa, capitalists are just those who will do anything for money, have no bottom line, and are completely bored—"

So what should I do? Chase after luxury cars, watches, private jets, and villas like them? Or should I just indulge in a life of drinking, smoking, and having sex with women?

"this......"

"Oh, don't rush to deny it. I'm just stating a fact. How many decades has my life been? 70? 80? 90? In short, it's hard to exceed 100 years.

In the past 100 years, we have already used more than one-fifth of our time for learning. So what will happen next? Will we allow it to be occupied by endless work and countless trivial matters?

"..."

Although his words are rough, the logic is sound. Ping Xin's words do make people think, and in doing so they will subconsciously ignore certain problems.

"I started the company simply because my wife enjoys running it and earning some extra cash... and I want to devote my valuable time to my loved ones and my own hobbies. Plus, the money comes from my personal account, so no one will mind, and no one can object."

So your 1000 billion wasn't spent from the company, but was pocket money taken from your own personal coffers! ?

The few people present felt that their views on money had been violated, the kind that they wouldn't be surprised even if they saw the world's richest man in the future.

If you have the guts, you can spend 1000 billion US dollars of pocket money to throw it away!

"Okay, I understand your thoughts, and I'll be sure to convey them to headquarters. As for the question about those 'monster materials'..."

"You don't have to worry about transportation and placement. I can even send people to your 'mines' to receive the items right now."
