Gu Nianzhi's mood had changed subtly when she heard the name "Qin Suwen".
It was no longer as simple as before, when she expressed her curiosity and admiration.
She thought that the biological mother-daughter relationship between her and Qin Suwen was probably only separated by a paternity test.
After Lu Yuan finished speaking, he noticed that Gu Nianzhi's expression was strange. He awkwardly remembered the text message Huo Shaoheng had sent him: "Nianzhi's biological mother has some clues. It's very likely that she's Qin Suwen."
If they were biological mother and daughter, it wouldn't be strange for them to be similar.
Gu Nianzhi was only stunned for a moment, then quickly asked curiously, "… Really? Why do you think so? Have you met lawyer Qin Suwen? "
Lu Yuan saw that Gu Nianzhi was noncommittal, so he didn't bring up the topic. Moreover, he didn't dare to speak carelessly in Lu Jin's apartment. He only smiled and nodded. "… Your father was very familiar with lawyer Qin Suwen back then. I had a few meals with them."
"That's what lawyer Qin Suwen thinks about capital. She opposes the excessive infiltration of capital into the national economy and people's livelihood. On this point, she greatly influenced General He Chengjian."
With the support of the military, many of the Huaxia Empire's state-owned projects were able to maintain their state-owned status and were not tainted by the new capitalists who were eager to make a move.
Gu Nianzhi replied with an "oh". She admired and yearned for Qin Suwen, and there was also a hint of indescribable admiration.
However, she was also very open-minded. It didn't matter whether Qin Suwen was her biological mother or not. What was important was that Qin Yaoguang wasn't her biological mother.
Gu Nianzhi didn't mind that her biological mother was an ordinary person. As long as she was a kind and upright ordinary person, it was ten thousand times better than that disgusting woman, Qin Yaoguang.
She and Lu Yuan chatted casually as they watched the television.
Finally, Lu Jin's video image was transmitted back.
On the big television screen in front of them, the live broadcast from the local television station was suddenly cut off.
After a moment of chaos, an exquisite and small room appeared on the television screen. It didn't look like the grand hall that Gu Nianzhi had imagined at all.
"Where is this?" Gu Nianzhi looked over in surprise. "Why are there only seven or eight people in this room?"
He could count them all at a glance.
Lu Yuan smiled and adjusted the volume with the remote control in his hand. "… What do you think? The number of corporations that can influence the world's financial market can be counted on five fingers. "
Therefore, among the seven or eight people, there were some who were not particularly influential.
Gu Nianzhi looked at the people on TV and quickly recognized the first person.
This man was in his fifties. He had dark blonde hair, wore glasses, and had a long nose. He was Mr. Bitz, the man who had rapidly risen to become the richest man in the United States with his computer-controlled system.
Of course, he was no longer the richest man in the world.
In addition to this person, Gu Nianzhi also recognized Mr. Bart, who was known as the "God of Stocks." He was almost 80 years old, but he was still hale and hearty. His mind was clear, and he didn't look like many old people who couldn't even recognize people.
Other than these two people, Gu Nianzhi realized that she didn't recognize anyone else.
Lu Yuan introduced him to her. "The man with black hair and a big nose sitting on the Victorian sofa by the window is the heir of the ship king, the Oz family. I'm afraid they don't even know how much wealth their family has, but your father should know. "
Gu Nianzhi, "…"
"There's also that middle-aged white man who just stood up to look at his pocket watch. He's Lorraine the Third. Most people call him Little Lorraine. He's the head of the Lorraine family, and this Lorraine Center is controlled by their family. "
"The two people sitting in a more remote seat over here look a little excited. This is probably the first time they've attended such a closed-door round-table meeting. Their family is also very rich, but they can't compare to the few people in front of them. The reason why they can attend such a meeting is because their family is an old political family. "
Gu Nianzhi nodded. "The positions of senators in the United States, especially in the Senate, are almost hereditary. So it's not an exaggeration to say that they're a political family. "
"Yes." A mocking smile appeared on Lu Yuan's lips. "And it's a hereditary system that allows you to vote, because in the end, you'll find that only these people can participate in the election, and the others are just there to accompany them. Occasionally, one or two dark horses will win, but it doesn't mean anything, because very soon, the dark horse senators without the support of foundation and capital will definitely not be elected next time. "
"These people are sitting together to discuss the future and development of mankind?" Gu Nianzhi couldn't help but laugh. "It sounds like a pack of wolves meeting together to discuss how to maintain the sustainable development of the sheep …"
"Hahahaha … That's a wonderful analogy!" Lu Yuan laughed heartily.
This was the first time he had laughed unreservedly in front of Gu Nianzhi.
Gu Nianzhi looked at his face, which was no longer young, and felt that he was even more attractive than a young man.
This was a charm that had been accumulated over the years. It could no longer be described as just beautiful appearance. Of course, Lu Yuan's outstanding handsomeness was also undeniable.
Gu Nianzhi suddenly thought of Huo Shaoheng. When he was Lu Yuan's age, she wondered how charming he would be …
She blushed slightly, looked away, and stared at the television.
On the screen, Lu Jin seemed to be looking in Huo Shaoheng's direction.
Gu Nianzhi saw a tall and burly young man, who was no less handsome than the Nordics. He stood expressionlessly under a huge oil painting with his hands behind his back.
No matter how Huo Shaoheng dressed up, he could always attract Gu Nianzhi's attention.
It was a kind of breathtaking beauty, because when you saw him, you would forget to breathe.
Gu Nianzhi hadn't seen enough when the image on the television changed again.
This time, Lu Jin was probably looking at the middle-aged man who had stood up. He was the Lorraine III that Lu Yuan had told her about earlier.
He bowed slightly to the people in the room and said politely, "Good afternoon, gentlemen."
"We are gathered here today to discuss the future development and future of mankind."
"What do you think is the most critical issue for the future development of mankind?"
There were a few whispers in the room. Then, one of the young men from a political family sitting in the corner mustered up the courage to say, "… is it economic and technological development?"
Lorraine III smiled and shook his head.
Another young man said, "… is it to reduce the risk of the financial market?"
Lorraine III still shook his head and gave the correct answer, "… is it population and evolution."
"Human civilization has developed to this point. There are already 7.5 billion people in the world. The entire world's food supply is no longer enough to make ends meet. There will definitely be a food crisis in the future."
"This population size is the result of us implementing birth control in backward areas and countries through the United Nations Population Fund. Otherwise, there would be even more garbage people."
"Please forgive me for being blunt, but only 20% of the elite population of the entire human race deserves to live. The other 80% are garbage people. Their deaths are not to be regretted. "
At this moment, Mr. Bart shook his head and objected, "Mr. Lorraine, your point of view is too radical and too narrow. The world's population is high, but the food supply will definitely not reach the point where we can't make ends meet. Moreover, technology is constantly developing, and food production is constantly increasing. I don't think there will be a food crisis in the foreseeable future. "
The others in the room also agreed with his point of view. "As long as the population does not continue to explode, the current food production will be able to meet the needs of the entire world."
Lorraine III did not particularly care that everyone objected in unison. He shrugged and said, "Since you all think it's not that serious, I won't say anything more. I'm just reminding everyone to continue to implement birth control in backward areas and countries. The lower class do not deserve to have too many offspring. They will only pollute the human genome. "
As he said this, he looked at the other side of the round table and said, "Mr. Bitz, you are an expert in the field of biological genetics and biopharmaceuticals. I would like to ask you, how is your research in this field going?"
Mr. Bitz said vaguely, "It's still in the middle of research. We haven't made any significant progress."
Lorraine III smiled slowly and said, "Haven't made any significant progress? I've said this before, you don't have to fork out your own money to go back to Africa to do genetic and biopharmaceuticals research. Other than mineral resources, what else is there there? "
"Africa is known as the cradle of human origins. I think it's very reasonable to do genetic and biopharmaceuticals research there." Mr. Bart spoke up for Bitz, because he was also one of the major shareholders of the Bitz Fund.
"The cradle of human origins proves that their genes have not fully evolved. Researching their genes is a complete waste of money." Lorraine III said disdainfully, "But our group's research is different. Our target is the largest country in East Asia."
His expression became somewhat fanatical. "That country has the largest population, the highest average IQ, and the most diverse gene pool. And the most important thing in genetic experiments is to have an inexhaustible supply of genetic materials! "
Bitz's expression became somewhat ugly.
He had invested hundreds of millions in genetic and pharmaceutical research in Africa, but he was looked down upon by someone younger than him. This was truly intolerable.
He said coldly, "Oh? Are you still going to publicize your family's fantastical 'superhuman' plan? May I ask if there's any significant progress in your plan? "
Lorraine III's expression also became ugly. He said, "How is our plan fantastical? From a theoretical and probabilistic perspective, it is indeed possible for humans to have 'perfect genes.' As long as we do enough experiments and find enough genetic materials to edit! "
"As long as we can research the first set of 'perfect genes,' there will be a second set, a third set, and then usher in the greatest evolutionary leap in human history!"
Gu Nianzhi: "!!!"
Why did this person talk about "perfect genes"?!
