Chapter 791 [Abnormal Capitals VI]
Everyone present was silent, and there seemed to be an invisible sense of oppression in the air.
No one dared to speak easily, and there was a hint of fear in their expressions.
They clearly realized that this fourth sword-bearer in the Kingdom of Heaven was not only a symbol of the power of the Kingdom of Heaven, but his ambition and belief were as sharp as a sharp blade that no one could ignore.
Xia Xiu's eyes slowly turned to Alex, the representative of [Valravin] Company.
He opened his mouth and said in a concise and decisive tone:
"I agree to your business development."
When Alex heard this, she was slightly startled, and then bowed in greeting, with a slight smile on her face, and her tone was full of determination and confidence:
"It is a pleasure to work with you. No matter how dirty and bloody the job, Valravin will perform it with efficiency, professionalism and confidentiality, just like our company's philosophy."
The slogan of [Walrav] is:
"Fight for profit, live for power——"
Xia Xiu didn't say anything more, but nodded noncommittally, which was regarded as a response to her answer.
He turned his eyes and looked at Hanks aside, nodding slightly.
Hanks stepped forward knowingly and began to introduce the next representative of Abnormal Capital.
The two walked along the round table to the sixth representative.
This is an elegant middle-aged man wearing a well-tailored dark suit.
His hair was combed meticulously and smeared with hair oil. His whole person exuded a steady and confident aura, which added majesty and composure to the strong facial lines.
"Raymond Clive - the face of Ambrose Restaurants."
Xia Xiu stepped forward and shook hands with Raymond. Raymond's handshake was firm and warm, with an impeccable sense of etiquette.
Just as the two were chatting, Xia Xiu noticed from the corner of his eye that Martin, the representative of [Fortress], was glaring at Raymond with a hostile face, and his eyes almost burst out of fire.
Raymond was obviously aware of this gaze, but he didn't pay attention to it at all. He didn't even look at the other person, as if Martin was just an irrelevant character in a comedy.
【Abnormal Capital·Ambrose Restaurant——】
A luxury catering business associated with anomalies that features top-notch gastronomic experiences that incorporate anomalous properties.
Known for its sophisticated style, otherworldly menu, and extraordinary attention to customer experience, the restaurant attracts the elite and wealthy of the deviant world.
[Ambrose Restaurant] is both a brand and a philosophy of life that combines gourmet food with exceptional art.
The company's philosophy is:
"Opening the door to a new world for taste——"
A high-end restaurant chain that offers otherworldly culinary experiences.
It has branches in many major cities, abnormal gathering places and hidden spaces around the world; its target audience is mainly the rich and powerful, high-level people in the abnormal world, and customers who pursue novel experiences.
And, while they use unusual elements, the restaurant ensures that most of the experience does not cause permanent harm to the customer (within the confines of the restaurant).
Heaven takes a more neutral view of Ambrose's.
Although the anomalous nature of the restaurant is concerning, its high level of control and transparency in its operations generally avoid triggering large-scale anomalous events.
They are both abnormal organizations involved in the catering industry with [Gai Zhibao]. There are significant differences in their positioning, goals, culture and operation methods.
It's just that [Ambrose Restaurant] is famous for its high-end, artistic and unusual cuisine, while [Gai Zhi Castle] Co., Ltd. represents cheap, dangerous and ironic industrial catering.
The cultural opposition between the two led to direct public opinion confrontation.
For example, [Fortress] launched an advertisement that satirized Ambrose, while [Ambrose] implicitly criticized [Fortress] for its shoddy workmanship in high-end circles.
This is also the factor that Martin and Raymond cannot deal with, and why they participate in this meeting together - they both want to achieve in-depth cooperation with the Kingdom of Heaven and jointly divide the Ivy League's big cake.
Xia Xiu was very happy to see the hostility between the two. Putting the two together could restrain each other.
At this moment, a trace of amusement flashed through his golden eyes, the corners of his lips were raised slightly, and there was a quiet temptation in his tone:
"I have heard about the reputation of Ambrose Restaurant in the anomalous world. I heard that you have held one unique taste feast after another under the curtain.
So this time, what kind of ‘delicious food’ have you prepared for the Kingdom of Heaven? ”
Raymond smiled slightly and calmly adjusted the cuffs of his suit. His voice was low and steady, revealing a decent confidence:
"As any respectable company should, we remain committed to maintaining positive relationships with everyone we come into contact with."
His eyes briefly met Xia Xiu's golden eyes, and then he stated his position straightforwardly in a concise and clear tone:
"Our founder Chaz Ambrose once said - no matter who you are, just see our logo and I guarantee you'll find something that suits your taste."
"This is our philosophy and it has never changed."
Raymond paused for a moment, then continued, with a calm persuasiveness in his tone:
"As a business, our goal is to provide quality catering services to all anomalous communities.
To this end, we hope to reach a cooperation with Heaven, so that we can continue to establish branches in economically sustainable areas, while recruiting more talents to assist our kitchen in developing more new and interesting dishes. ”
Raymond's words were smooth and smooth, and each sentence was carefully considered. There was neither deliberate flattery nor any slackness.
He looked at Xia Xiu calmly, obviously confident in his proposal.
Xia Xiu's eyes moved slightly, and the smile on his lips became deeper.
"Your credibility is indeed worthy of our trust.
Regarding the opening of future branches of your restaurant, we will formulate a corresponding cooperation process to ensure that each other's interests are best protected. ”
The two continued to have a brief but efficient discussion on the details of the cooperation.
In the conference room, the atmosphere gradually became calmer.
Xia Xiu responded to Raymond's every suggestion with a calm attitude, while Raymond showed the consistent efficiency and professionalism of Ambrose Restaurant.
This dialogue did not make people feel too much gunpowder. Instead, it seemed orderly, as if it was a performance carefully choreographed by both parties.
Ultimately, a framework for future cooperation was agreed upon.
After completing the exchange with Raymond, the representative of Ambrose Restaurant, Xia Xiu adjusted his hat slightly and tapped the silver cane on the ground, making a crisp sound.
His eyes turned to Hanks, who took another step forward and led Xia Xiu to the other end of the conference table.
Here, the remaining two representatives of Abnormal Capital are waiting for their introduction.
When the two came to the penultimate representative, Xia Xiu's eyes narrowed slightly.
Sitting in front of him was a very young-looking man, wearing a cardigan, a pair of round glasses, and a fashionable hairstyle that made him look out of place in this solemn conference room.
However, this sense of dissonance with the environment did not affect his aura. On the contrary, his whole person exudes a special sense of presence, as if wherever he is, no matter how incongruous, he can become the focus of people's attention.
"Jerome Sharp - Vikander Nied's technical media representative." Hanks introduced in a steady voice.
Jerome stood up with a confident smile on his face and his movements were easy and natural.
He stretched out a hand, with long and well-jointed fingers, which seemed to have the same innate appeal as his image.
Xia Xiu also raised his hand and shook it.
His golden pupils shrank slightly at this moment.
He sensed a familiar yet unfamiliar aura.
That is the existence of Memes - [Existence Memes].
However, unlike Xia Xiu's own Mimu, which weakens the "gravity of existence", this man's Mimu is obviously inclined to enhance the "gravity of existence".
This power makes Jerome's presence like a dazzling light that is impossible to ignore and even attracts all attention in just a few seconds.
The moment Xia Xiu's hand held Jerome's, he captured a deeper feeling.
The other party's Meme contains a kind of bewitching sound wave, which circulates silently, as if every byte can subtly affect people's emotions and judgments. At the same time, around Jerome, he can also perceive the existence of another kind of meme - a kind of meme fluctuation that can cause cognitive biases.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
This discovery made Xia Xiu's gaze deepen. He did not show any emotional fluctuations, but slightly raised the corners of his mouth, revealing a meaningful smile.
"The representative of Vikander Ned is truly extraordinary."
Xia Xiu said softly, with a hint of ambiguity in his tone.
He relaxed his hand lightly and ended the handshake, while Jerome smiled slightly, as if he was not surprised by Xia Xiu's perception and judgment.
"Your Excellency has given you the award."
Jerome's voice is deep and magnetic, and that bewitching power seems to be released through every syllable he makes.
"Our technical media does have some unique features - but these should not be enough to surprise you."
【Abnormal Capital Vikander Ned——】
An anomaly media company known for producing media content with paranormal properties.
This content may include movies, videos, audios, books, advertisements and even virtual reality experiences.
[Vikander Nieder]’s work not only entertains, but can have a profound impact on the viewer’s psyche, perception, and even reality.
Xia Xiu still maintained a calm attitude, with an elusive meaning in his eyes.
His golden eyes stared at Jerome Sharp in front of him, as if through those round glasses, he could see the complex network hidden behind this young man.
The person in front of him is not a pure human being just like Jinberg.
Jerome raised the corners of his mouth slightly, as if he didn't mind Xia Xiu's scrutiny at all, and even enjoyed it.
As an anomalous media company, Vikander Nied is known for producing media content with paranormal properties.
Their work spans a variety of formats, from film, video, audio, and books to advertising and even virtual reality experiences.
Not only are they highly entertaining, they can also have a profound impact on the viewer's psyche, perception, and even reality itself.
Xia Xiu recalled the investigation files of the Kingdom of Heaven in his mind - similar to [Kimberg-Leitz], [Vikander Nied]'s name also comes from its co-founder, and these two names are also Heaven is seen as the incarnation of certain technologies and symbols.
In the records of Kingdom of Heaven, Vikander and Ned seem to be not just simple names, but anthropomorphic symbols of "creative inspiration" and "media technology". This symbolism makes the nature of the company itself more mysterious.
Although many of [Vikander Nieder's] works are less harmful intuitively, their potential effects cannot be ignored - cognitive biases, meme transmission, and subconscious influences. Once these phenomena are improperly exploited, they can have serious consequences for social stability. A profound threat.
Some of his works have even been classified as medium to high-risk anomalies by Heavenly Kingdom, and their dissemination scope is strictly restricted.
In particular, content that can trigger deep psychological implications and even blur the boundaries between reality and illusion has become the target of key monitoring by the Kingdom of Heaven.
Xia Xiu stared at Jerome and knew clearly that the biggest feature of this company was its elusive organizational structure and communication mechanism.
According to Heavenly Kingdom’s investigation, [Vikander Nied] is almost a completely decentralized organization and may not even have a fixed physical existence.
Their content seems to be generated spontaneously through a complex network, and the technology behind the scenes may involve anomalies or mime engineering, which further amplifies the danger of their spread.
Unlike [Wandman Newspaper Agency], which prefers to reveal the truth, [Vikander Nied] shows a completely opposite attitude.
Their content does not emphasize facts, but treats all intelligent creatures as - "rabble".
Just like their company’s slogan and philosophy:
"Your world is just our screen——"
They use sophisticated media methods to guide public opinion and create group illusions and confusion.
This implicit manipulation technique complements their bewitching Meme communication.
However, they are both symbolic incarnations of anomalous properties, but they are not listed as a [crisis sequence] by the Kingdom of Heaven. This is due to the differentiation and competition within the various countries of Terra and the anomalous lineages.
——In Terra, every country and every abnormal lineage has its own set of "media control" and "official announcement" techniques.
These technologies have formed a relatively solid barrier to the dominance of public opinion, limiting [Vikander Nied's] influence to a certain range.
Although they can control the perception of the crowd, the divisions and conflicts between different regions and cultures make the "rabble" itself full of internal differences and disputes.
This resulted in [Vikander Ned's] existence being divided and castrated into multiple parts.
Although they possess the potential ability to influence group cognition, they are unable to form a force sufficient to shake the overall order in this world.
Compared to those abnormal existences that can cause direct disasters, the threat of [Vikander Nied] is more like an undercurrent lurking in the depths - although it does not cause a huge impact, it is enough to keep the kingdom of heaven on guard.
This restricted state did not make [Vikander Ned] lose confidence, but instead became their unique way of existence.
Their content finds gaps and penetrations in the differentiated order. Each work is like a seed buried in the soil, waiting to take root and sprout in a suitable environment.
For the Kingdom of Heaven, the invisibility of this organization and its mode of communication is precisely a hidden danger that must be examined.
[Vikander Nieder] upholds a media philosophy that is cold and arrogant.
They use sophisticated means to manipulate public opinion and create group illusions and confusion.
What the audience gets from their works is not facts, but a carefully designed sensory experience or cognitive suggestion.
They are...
——The incarnation of the distorted media monster in the new era.
