Chapter 274 Awakening of Franklin
"Change?"
Franklin turned around and looked at Amber, smiling self-deprecatingly.
"What can I change? I'm just a small person, not even an ant, at most a speck of dust."
'The self-positioning is quite accurate,' Amber thought, and then said:
"You haven't thought about it specifically, nor have you really taken action, so why do you think you can't do it?"
"Mr. Rebir, you are quite good at comforting people."
Franklin took a glass of champagne from the plate in the hands of a passing waiter, and then walked to Amber and drank it all.
"I heard that this champagne is quite expensive, so you drink it like this?"
Franklin, who was a little depressed and complicated, didn't care about Amber's ridicule. He put the glass aside and said:
"Even if an ordinary person like me really does it, works hard, and fights hard, how much can I change?"
"A person's destiny must consider both personal struggle and the course of history." Amber said in a flat tone.
Franklin looked up at him after hearing this, as if he wanted to see something from Amber's expression.
But unfortunately, the latter's expression management was very good, and it was an emotionless "business smile" from beginning to end.
"What? Haven't you heard this sentence?" Seeing that Franklin had not spoken, Amber took the initiative to ask.
"I have heard it, but I don't quite understand what you mean."
"That means that when you think about these problems, you focus on yourself and walk into a dead end."
Amber found a sofa arranged nearby for guests to rest and sat down, and motioned Franklin to sit down and rest for a while.
"You can't change anything by yourself, let alone change this country. Or, it's too difficult to do this with individual ability.
But if the overall environment is in a special period, there is still hope."
"Are you talking about the war between the Federation and the Star Dragon Empire?"
"You can regard my next words as an unreliable prediction-this war is only a part, or just a beginning, the real 'good show' is still to come."
Amber looked at the young man who eventually ascended the presidency in the game very seriously, and continued:
"If you can seize the opportunity and take advantage of the tide of this era, then the 'change' you want in your heart may really come true."
Franklin fell silent, listening to what Amber said, and began to recall what happened in the past few days.
Then his eyes lit up, and after a certain idea that was previously 'knotted' in his mind was also untied, Franklin quickly completed a round of 'self-persuasion'.
He found that what 'Mr. Rebill' said seemed to make sense.
If the Star Dragon Empire had not launched a war against the Federation, he would have been a rookie intern who had just entered the Senate.
He would not have led a group of like-minded young people to harass the Star Dragon Empire's invading forces after the Star Dragon Empire controlled Ptolemy City.
If he had not led his companions to harass the invading forces, he would not have met Atlas's special operations team, let alone told them the information of nearby communication nodes.
If this special operations team failed to complete the mission, or did not add his name and what he did to the report after completing the mission, Franklin would not have been commended today and come to this manor.
If all of the above had not happened, the Senate President and the Administrative Deputy of the Galaxy Autonomous Government would not have taken him with them after taking a fancy to him.
Amber did not expect that Franklin would complete the "self-closed loop" of the entire logical chain in his mind after just a few simple prompts. ’
He was just thinking about motivating this frustrated peer and getting on good terms with the future federal president in advance
“You’re right, Mr. Rebir!”
“Ah? It’s okay, you can think about it more, my words may not be right”
“No, your words have enlightened me. ‘A person’s fate must consider both personal struggle and the course of history’, this sentence is indeed correct.”
Amber looked at this young man who was extremely depressed a minute ago and now has ‘resurrected’ with some confusion. He really didn’t expect Franklin’s self-regulation ability to be so strong.
“It’s okay if I can help you, what I say may not be reliable.”
“I’ve decided, I can’t just give up halfway, I have to seize this opportunity.”
Although I don’t know what this young man was thinking just now, since the other party’s sudden ‘awakening’ still caught Amber off guard.
And Franklin’s next words also made Amber a little unexpected.
"Mr. Rebir, what about you? Are you and Atlas also planning to catch this round of 'wave'?"
"Oh? You have learned to turn the tables, right?"
"Hahaha, mainly when I met your Atlas special operations team in Ptolemy City, they gave me a completely different feeling from others.
Even when they were carrying out such a dangerous mission behind enemy lines, they were always full of fighting spirit, as if they had a sense of mission."
Speaking of this, Franklin couldn't help but think of the words that Baninger left when he left the safe house.
[We are Atlas, kid]
Thinking of this, Franklin continued to ask:
"Mr. Rebel, what kind of company is Atlas? Why does it give me a completely different feeling from other companies?"
Facing Franklin's question, Amber couldn't help but laugh. He really didn't expect this young man to ask such a question.
“First of all, from the most basic concept of ‘company’, there is actually no difference between us at Atlas and other companies.
It is also a collection of owners, operators, employees and other stakeholders. On this basis, it ensures the reasonable distribution of profits. To put it bluntly, my first purpose in establishing Atlas is to make money, and there is no other. Any reason. "
Amber's straightforward answer stunned Franklin for a moment. He was about to say something when he heard Amber continue:
“Of course, I don’t mind doing some extra things as long as I can continue to make money and ensure that everyone’s interests are not compromised.
For example, ending the war, helping those affected by war to return to normal lives, and making the world a better place~
Do you believe it or not? "
"I believe it." Franklin's tone was firm.
"Huh? You just believe me when I say that?"
To be honest, Amber was also surprised. He originally thought it would take more effort to get close to Franklin.
"Because I see something different in you than others."
"what?"
"I can't tell. But this feeling lets me know that you are completely different from federal officials and some plutocrats."
After Franklin finished saying this, he took a few deep breaths, as if to cheer himself up.
After a moment, he plucked up the courage to look at Amber and said:
"Mr. Rebel, as you said, if I really want to find a way to change the Federation, can I get your and Atlas's support?"
Franklin finally said these words, but only received two cold words from Amber.
"childish."
Seeing the surprised and puzzled expression on the young man's side, Amber continued:
"First of all, what we just said was just two people who didn't like the noisy atmosphere of the cocktail party. Sitting together and chatting after drinking cannot be regarded as an agreement.
The second one is my personal suggestion to you. No matter what you want to do, if you think about 'attracting foreign aid' before you even start trying to do it, then 80% of the time you won't be able to do it well in the end. of.
Last but not least, and very realistically, why do you think you can get support from Atlas now?
You are just an intern in the Galaxy Autonomous Government Senate and have not shown any value yet. Why do you think Atlas would consider 'investing' in you? "
Amber's words left Franklin stunned. Obviously, this 'rookie' didn't expect why Mr. Ray Bill, who had just had a good conversation, would suddenly say such shocking words.
"Mr. Rebel, me"
"It's still a pleasure chatting with you, but let's talk about it today. I personally suggest that you take some time to think about it."
Amber stood up from the sofa and left her last words:
"If you really want to make some 'changes'."
When Franklin was still sitting on the sofa, thinking about what 'Mr. Ray Bill' had just said.
Amber has already taken hold of Isabel, who has returned from the 'wives group'.
"Hey, haven't you drank less?"
Looking at Isabel who had entered a 'tippy' state under the influence of alcohol, Amber couldn't help but complain:
"The alcohol content of this champagne is not high. Isa, are you not a good drinker?"
"Hmph~ You're not very good at it."
Isabel's whole body was almost hanging on Amber's body, allowing the lsp to fully feel the softness of her body.
"I have done a great job for you."
"What great achievements? Did you get into this 'wives group'?"
"Not only that, I also got the private accounts of all of them, and the chief executive's wife and the wives of several other senior officials also invited me to attend their afternoon tea party in a few days."
"Okay, okay, great, great, great~"
Amber said perfunctorily, and then helped Isabel walk outside.
The rest of the celebration cocktail party was basically about mutual communication and matchmaking, and Amber was not interested in this.
After saying hello to Administrative Assistant Sam, he was ready to leave first with Isabel, who was obviously not very drunk.
