Secret department of intellectual borrowing on Kosti-NF. A story.
At the call of Mr. Wintertund, the second deputy general director of the Kosti-NF radio station, Quicktalker headed to Mr. Wintertund's office.
On the way, she met several groups of radio station personnel whispering among themselves in the hallway and throwing sharp glances at her.
The first deputy general director stepped out of the door of some office, and, fixing his gaze on the Quicktalker, went to meet her.
However, not reaching her a few meters, he turned and suddenly disappeared behind the door of another office.
Then Quicktalker saw how to one of the doors leading into the corridor, a technician was fastening with an electric tool a sign with the words "QUICKTALKER", and a little below "employee".
Simultaneously with the Quicktalker, an inconspicuous man with a large bag, as well as a group of six workers, dragging a metal safe, entered Mr. Wintertund's office.
The man handed the bag to Mr. Wintertund and immediately left.
For the installation of the safe, a several minutes were needed.
At last, Mr. Wintertund and Quicktalker were left alone.
- "I approve!" - Mr. Wintertund began the conversation benevolently, - "your work about mysterious houses and basements has received full approval. He arranged basements in his own mansion. Above, the wife and son are walking, and he is in the basement. What does he do? The affairs of the Special Committee?"
- "How could he?" - Mr. Wintertund repeated the same question several times, shaking his head bitterly."
- "At first I wanted to start with the knight of the revolution or with the winner of the Abwehr, but the editorial task was not approved. Why dont know."
- "There are some circumstances."
- "Now a plan for further work on the topic of "mysterious cellars" is being prepared."
- "Just don't expand your geography. Only city of Moscow. Only mansions of the late 19th - early 20th century. And preferably from among those which were transferred under some embassy. And then make up whatever you want. Some features of Edgar Allan Poe's work are irrationality, mysticism, a tendency to depict pathological conditions."
- "I'll try."
- "There is a decision to appoint you the head of the secret department of borrowing intellectual property. Funding will be carried out unofficially (Mr. Wintertund took a large bag and put it in a recently delivered safe. Then he closed the door safe securely)."
Quicktalker looked at the safe with respect.
- "I'm ready."
- "We borrowed a lot of ideas, themes, phrases and other intellectual products - and paid nothing (neither money, nor mentions of the author and his works in air). The principle "In order to understand the future you need to look into the past" has been fully adapted by us. This is pure profit. It is necessary to put business on a solid organizational basis."
- "This is very correct."
- "A separate office is being prepared for you now. As soon as the work will be completed, you will move into it."
- "What topic would you advise to start with?"
- "Look what he writes. He writes about Butlerov ("According to our calculations, such Russian geniuses - followers of Lomonosov, Mendeleev, Butlerov - should have been from 500 to 50 people ... Publish list of geniuses! Tell us about awards, orders ?! Where are their Stars of Heroes? Their State Prizes? Their mansions? Their Bombardiers? Their yachts (this is the name of ocean liners for individual relaxation)? Where are their vacations - vacations at the most prestigious resorts in the company of outstanding stars of our time?").
And you overtake him on the turn, find someone. The swarm is deeper - at least a tunnel from Moscow to Bombay (via Paris)."
Quicktalker made a note on the piece of paper.
- "Or showcase new, simplified vaccine promotion algorithms. If the government telephone apparatus was left unattended (it seems that this was what Shukshin did - but this requires clarification), then the patriot calls a member of the Politburo: "Can we start the vaccination?" The member of the Politburo is well-disposed (if the call came through a government telephone, therefore, people are calling who are knowledgeable, literate): "Is this a good vaccine?" (a specialist is immediately visible - not "cold", not "white", not "liquid" - but "good"). Naturally, it's "good" ("good" for some, "bad" for others). Well, the wheels started spinning at once, they began to vaccinate everyone. Here's the point in what. No scientific institution is needed. It's not necessary to reward 500-50 employees. Everything is developed, invented in another country, abroad. You just need to bring the vaccine in an ordinary suitcase and to call a member of the Politburo through the government telephone apparatus. "Is this a good vaccine?" - "It's a good vaccine" - "Vaccinate". Further - the wheels are spinning ..."
Quicktalker continued to take notes.
- "If 500-50 people have created a vaccine, then they are the saviors of humanity. See what he writes: "If there are saviors of humanity, then there is an official list of these saviors. There are state awards, huge bonuses have been paid to all. The saviors of mankind live in excellent mansions, drive in expensive cars, relax in prestigious resorts, surrounded by stars ... ". That is, they - the saviors of humanity - need to be rewarded. We are refuting. We make a contraposition, using the taking out from abroad in a suitcase and with a phone call to a member of the Politburo. After that, one or two people receive the Lenin Prize.
But I like the very phrase. We must somehow use this "salvation of mankind", "salvation of the world." You can make some kind of splash screen, splitter or something like that. You yourself understand: "An American canned meat has turned into a units of account." In fact, everything is correct!"
Quicktalker nodded in agreement and made a note on the sheet.
- "And also these references to Pasteur and quotes from Pasteur. "Chance favors the prepared mind". Louis Pasteur". We can also to quote Pasteur."
- "Of course," - said Quicktalker, - "we'll find another quote from Pasteur and we will show ourselves".
Mr. Wintertund opened the safe, took out two packs from there, put them in an envelope and handed them to Quicktalker.
- "All right, go," - Mr. Wintertund said grumpily and set to work. - "Work ... ... Just do not confuse Pasteur with Descartes ..."
- "Sure!"
Quicktalker went to solve the assigned tasks at the head of the created secret department of intellectual borrowing.
