Chapter 1855 The Madman's Journey (Fifty-Nine)
"Dark history is a secret weapon to quickly get closer to others, but it is also a dangerous double-edged sword. Most people will only have the opposite effect if they reveal their true dark history to others, but if used well, it is a sure-fire way to manipulate others in the early stages."
Everyone looked at Nick. Not everyone wanted to manipulate others, but no one wanted to be manipulated. It would be good to have a higher awareness of prevention after listening to this class.
"To establish your dominant position in the minds of others and make them unconsciously dependent on you, the key is to make them accept you from the bottom of their hearts, but not just accept your strengths and strengths."
"Admiration for the strong is a natural emotion of human beings. People prefer the strengths of others, and accepting their shortcomings is just because they are willing to be tolerant of their strengths."
"Usually, people are aware of the shortcomings of others. The shortcomings are either inconsistent with morality or inconsistent with their own personality. In most cases, they know but can tolerate them."
"But mental manipulation is not to make the other party accept their shortcomings, but to make the other party think that they have no shortcomings, so that they sincerely feel that they are advantages rather than shortcomings."
"To achieve this, the way to introduce shortcomings becomes particularly important. If you introduce them for the first time, If you make the other party feel extremely disgusted with this shortcoming, then the subsequent cognitive change will not be smooth. "
"I said before that disguising advantages as shortcomings is a method, but it is not very clever, especially when facing smart people, they can easily judge that you are just pretending to be a shortcoming for the sake of boasting."
"To deal with such people, you can only use real shortcomings, and they must be shocking enough, even the kind that they can't accept at all, which means that once they accept it, they will never be able to escape the trap."
"So Schiller said he was a serial killer?" Eddie asked thoughtfully: "This is obviously a shortcoming that Tony or any normal person can't accept."
"Yes, but the way he told it is quite skillful." Nick raised one corner of his mouth and continued: "He made this unacceptable The shortcomings are linked to the dark history. "
"To sum it up in the most concise language, although I am a serial killer, there are reasons for this. Although I am a bad guy in the traditional sense, there are people who are worse than me. Although I kill people without blinking an eye, I still have my pitiful side."
"Finding reasons for one's own evil can be a subject, especially in the mouths of those shrewd psychopaths. Even if they are the kind of little bastards who are happy to strangle sparrows since birth, they will tell others that everything is because they have been abused and discriminated against because they want to manipulate others."
"Let's assume." Nick stretched out a hand and spread his fingers in front of him and said: "What Schiller said about his past is true, so do you think this experience shaped him?"
"It's not impossible." Stark spread his hands and said: " If the human experiment part is also true, then how can we not say that it is the abuse that changed his temperament? "
"So I say, Tony, he deceives people like you." Nick pointed a finger at Tony, looked at him from the side of his eyes and said: "Never complain about your psychological treatment fee of 300 million US dollars a quarter, this is what you deserve."
"No one shaped Schiller, he shaped himself." Nick spread his hands and said: "His strong talent allowed him to get rid of most tragedies. He had a choice, but he didn't choose. "
"The environment does have a certain impact on a person's personality. Long-term abuse is also very likely to reshape a person's character. Psychopaths may indeed have a tragic first half of their lives, but this does not change the fact that they do not take the right path when they have a choice, but choose to be a perpetrator. "
"And the way they choose their targets is to use the sympathy of others, choosing those who can resonate with them, understand them, and take the initiative to excuse them. "
Nick pointed at the people present and said, "For example, you, all superheroes, your broad sympathy is the perfect breeding ground for all sadists to wake up laughing in their dreams."
"This world is too crazy." Stark said, "So either you are a victim or you are a perpetrator. Is there no other choice?"
"The only thing you can do is to run away without looking back after discovering that the other person may be a psychopath."
"Unfortunately..." Nick sighed and said, "Tony in this universe ran too late. He reflected on what was wrong with this country as soon as he heard about Schiller's tragic life. From this moment on, he could not run away."
"Speaking of which, Eric seemed to want to reveal his own dark history, right?" Natasha recalled, "He mentioned Wakanda in the car on the run. This must be a past that he could not bear to look back on."
"As I said, he let Tony pour his strong emotions into Pepper. How can we ask Tony to have extra sympathy to listen to his story?"
T'Challa finally came out from behind the bar and sat opposite Eddie. He put a glass of wine in front of him, took a sip of non-alcoholic drink and said, "In my impression, Eric is a somewhat contradictory person. He is quite ambitious, but he always can't let go of his face."
"He wants others to revolve around him and respond to him according to the reactions he expects in his mind. If the other party does not do so, he will feel resentful."
"It's the same this time." Nick snapped his fingers and said, "Eric obviously hopes that Tony can take the initiative to ask about his life experience, express his concern for him, and help him solve his problems at all costs."
"He thinks that since he risked his life to save Tony, then Tony should do whatever he wants, so he relaxed his vigilance and felt that he had an absolute dominant advantage in this relationship, and he was relaxed and careless. Pay attention to details, which will eventually bring him great trouble. "
In the office of Stark Group, Obadiah looked at Eric who had just turned and left with a gloomy face. He picked up the phone and said to Pepper: "Dismiss the security director, we will parachute a new director."
Pepper's angry roar came from the other end of the phone, but Obadiah said calmly and even indifferently: "I know that he is a ten-year old employee, but he is Tony's savior, how can he not be worthy of the position of director?"
"Tell the group of young people in the security department that it is better to respect him. His backer is our most talented scientist Tony Stark."
Pepper on the other side hung up the phone a little depressed. She was angry and worried. She didn't understand why the two of them reconciled after Obadiah met Tony that time.
After thinking for a while in the office, she decided to ask Stark, but at this time a security guard in security uniform rushed in from the door and shouted to Pepper: "Miss Pepper, there was a serious quarrel in the security director's office. It seems that an unknown person rushed in."
Pepper covered her forehead with a headache. She delayed for a while and did not inform the security department that there was a new person. Eric actually caused trouble in the director's office.
Pepper hurried to deal with the trouble and did not have time to ask Stark's opinion. She was full of suspicion about Obadiah in her heart and was very dissatisfied with his arrangement.
She even suspected that Eric might be Obadiah's man. Obadiah wanted to slowly erode Tony's power in this way, but Tony himself had no opinion on this, and Pepper could not make her own decision.
But Pepper was not easy to mess with. She had worked in Stark Group for so many years and was familiar with the entire company's personnel system.
Unwilling to replace the old supervisor of the security department, Pepper directly arranged Eric to the supervision department.
The supervision department is also called the supervision department. Basically every large company will have such a department. Its main job is to urge the personnel of each department to act according to the rules and regulations, and it is also responsible for resolving internal conflicts in the company.
It sounds like it has great power, but in fact no one is willing to do it. As we all know, no large company can act completely in accordance with the rules and regulations. In that case, the company will not be able to operate at all. The larger the company, the more people will reach out. As long as the company is doing well overall, most of the powerful leaders will turn a blind eye.
But this does not prevent those who take action from feeling guilty. They are annoyed when they see people from the supervision department. This department is the most excluded in the company.
The boss of the supervision department must be smooth and flattering, so that when adjusting factional struggles, everyone can give him face, and big things can be turned into small things, so that life can go on.
Therefore, anyone who is parachuted into such a position cannot do anything at all, let alone adjust the internal struggle of the company. They can't even figure out the size, strength and weakness of factions, and the conflicts of interest. If they offend someone, they will be fired in a few days.
About three days later, Stark completed the prototype of the first generation of armor in his laboratory. In order to distinguish it from the unmanned robot made before, he did not name his armor, but called it Mark 2.
Just as he was finishing the armor, Pepper dragged him out of the laboratory in a panic, and what was waiting for Stark was the shareholders' meeting room full of scolding.
Stark was a little dizzy after two nights. After he went in, he listened for more than ten minutes before he understood that the original copy of the company's important business agreement was lost. Several departments pushed each other and no one looked for it, and no one could find it.
The project was about to be implemented, but the legal documents were missing. Seeing that it would affect a series of subsequent business arrangements, the investors and directors involved were all anxious. Obadiah had no choice but to call Stark.
Stark was impatient to deal with these things and wanted to send all the directors away, but after asking carefully, he found out that the reason was that the Supervision Department and the Security Department had a conflict, and both parties stopped working, so the documents have not been found yet.
After further questioning, it turned out that the Security Department found the head of the Supervision Department and asked to retrieve the report documents. The two parties quarreled for some reason. Eric was furious and beat up the head of the security department. Now he is still lying in the hospital. The whole department is in a panic, and it is useless for anyone to urge him.
In front of Stark, Pepper called the people from the security and supervision departments who had a fight and scolded them. Obadiah helped to appease the shareholders. The group of people made a mess for a whole day, and Stark was not released until the evening.
But things have to be solved. Stark is also the kind of person who speaks his mind. He called Eric to his office, and Eric complained to him for more than half an hour about how the head of the security department was arrogant and unreasonable. Stark was overwhelmed.
But he still tried his best to appease: "Don't worry, it's inevitable that you will be a little unfamiliar with the new position. The work of the security and supervision departments is a lot and complicated, which may not be suitable for you."
"Obadiah told me before that we have launched resource cooperation with some African countries. Why don't you join this project? The personnel relationship is not so complicated, which will help you adapt to the environment."
