Chapter 1146 Charles's Wealth

"That's about right. My ability is quite convenient for trimming bushes." Psylocke responded with a smile while continuing to trim the bushes.

"Uh... don't you think it's inappropriate?"

"No, Lord Xiu Yu sometimes does some construction himself. It's normal." Of course, there was a reason why Psylocke was so obedient. When she first came, Psylocke had fought with Harribel, and Psylocke was beaten to a pulp by Harribel.

As a soul being, Harribel's speed, strength, defense and even the essence of life are all better than Psylocke's, so Psylocke finally lost with conviction. However, such a strong man admitted that he was no match for Su Xiuyu, and strictly speaking, he was not even a match for her, which made Psylocke even more curious about Su Xiuyu's true strength.

"You guys go in, Master Xiu Yu is waiting for you."

Eric and Charles walked in together and went to a small courtyard. In the small Chinese-style courtyard, Su Xiu Yu was lying on a recliner, swaying with his eyes closed.

As for Harribel, she patiently fanned Su Xiu Yu at the side - of course, Su Xiu Yu and Harribel were both immune to water and fire, and even did not need to rest or sleep most of the time, but Su Xiu Yu still maintained some habits from his human period.

"You're here. It's rare for you two to come together. Tell me what's going on."

In Su Xiuyu's memory, although Magneto and Professor X are friends, their attitudes towards humans are almost opposite, so most of the time they don't get along. Magneto even often plots against Professor X. Finally, when he was old, Magneto became more open-minded.

But in this world, perhaps because Su Xiu Yu had caused too much interference and changes invisibly, the two people had begun to understand each other in their middle age.

“Recently, there have been a lot of news reports in the news media that smear mutants, so that the living environment of the newly awakened mutants has become increasingly harsh.

I even investigated a lot of news media, and basically they either maliciously framed or fabricated news, and someone secretly instructed these news media to report negative news for a long time. I want to know how we should solve this problem, how to deal with this kind of problem? "

Charles really wanted to get some more pertinent advice. Faced with the smears and rumors in the entire environment, the mutant community seemed extremely powerless.

"In the final analysis, it's because your mutant population is too weak. If there is a strong person like Harribel among you, you will naturally be able to support the development of a new population.

You and Eric are both strong, and you can even threaten the whole world with the help of the brainwave enhancer, but in the end your threat is not as great as Eric's. Do you know why?"

Su Xiuyu didn't even open his eyes when he spoke, and Charles really didn't know why after hearing it.

"I'm sorry I didn't understand."

"Because your character has been clearly understood by those American politicians. You are reasonable, righteous, and rational.

But what about Eric before? Eric's image is almost no different from that of a terrorist, because Eric really dares to do anything. If his wife and children die, he even dares to drag the whole world to be buried with them.

That's why your intimidation with the help of the brainwave intensifier is not as strong as Magneto's. You know, Magneto's name can almost stop a baby from crying."

If Su Xiuyu had said this before, Eric might not have thought there was anything wrong with it. However, after experiencing an apocalyptic event, Eric felt a little embarrassed - if his wife and children were not dead, Eric would destroy the earth.

"Should I learn from Eric's approach? Use terror and violence to protect the interests of mutants?"

"What are you saying? I didn't ask you to be a terrorist. The carrot and the stick is the right approach. The easiest thing is to truly integrate into the human world and use the rules of the human world to do things. Let me ask you a question. Who is the real ruler of the United States?"

"Those capitalists." Charles and Eric both came to the same realization.

"Very good, it seems that you don't have much cognitive bias at least in this regard. What you said makes sense. Yes, this country is controlled by capitalists, and those large newspapers and news media are also capitalists. So I ask you again, Charles, what should you do? I remember that your ancestors inherited a lot of property, right?"

"Including real estate, it's about 35 billion US dollars." Charles explained honestly.

"35 billion?" Eric was shocked. He knew that his friend was a wealthy man, but wasn't this too rich?

Eric knew that Charles had inherited a large fortune. After all, X College was essentially Charles' own home. He also knew that Charles had a PhD in genetics, anthropology, biology, and psychology, but he really didn't know that Charles was so rich.

You have to know that this was in 1984. What was the value of 35 billion US dollars?

Getty was the richest man in the United States in 1976, with assets of 60 billion US dollars. It is no doubt that Charles' personal assets are among the top ten in the entire United States.

Therefore, the value of 35 billion US dollars is beyond doubt. Charles himself is a member of big capital. Of course, this is also the reason why the human world is more tolerant of Charles - wealth can cover up many problems, even those of mutants.

“You have a lot of assets, but why do you just want to open a school and end it?

Although opening an X-school will not cause you to lose much of your assets, and I can understand that you want to guide these mutant children to grow up correctly, but what you are doing is really stupid. How many children can a school save?

One thousand? Two thousand? Your wealth is like a stagnant pool of water, unable to stir up any waves. Isn't it that what you need to do is to use your wealth to expand your influence? I'll give you an example so you can understand. "

"For example, if you open a factory, the factory needs 5000 employees. These 5000 employees are the people you can directly influence. Behind these 5000 employees are 1 families, which means you can indirectly influence at least more people. This is the influence of wealth.

Not only have you given up on this necessary influence, but you've also focused on running a school with no more than a thousand students - no matter how hard you try, you can only influence a few hundred people in the end."
