Chapter 304 A drastic upgrade plan
Spending money is always exciting.
Jefferson gave Lear three million, but strictly speaking not all of the money belonged to Lear.
The first is Adecado.
This time Adecado dispatched 20 vehicles, and there were some battles. Generally speaking, it went smoothly.
With so many cars, the market price is not cheap.
Adecado wouldn’t mind working for Lille for free. It’s better to say that they feel that they make too much and even have to pay for the work.
But Lille felt that the money really couldn't be calculated like this. Although Saul regarded them as family members, brothers still had to settle accounts clearly. It was only natural that they would be paid for their work.
So including labor costs, fuel costs and various other expenses, the total price is 350,000, which is a lot to be divided among everyone.
[Panam: Sol, he keeps buttoning and swishing all day long, and his family is extremely poor. 】
[Panan: You spend money like this, but you are prosperous in a place like Night City. It’s really a comparison between people.]
[Panan: You really don’t consider us? As long as you give the order, Adecado will support you as the new patriarch, and Thor will not have any objection! 】
[Lil: Stop talking so much and let the tribesmen take up their positions. 】
[Lille: Go back and study the development ideas I sent you, and you can send people over as you see fit. 】
The Red Shirt Mental Hospital serves as an export transfer station, and a real production and warehouse area is set up in the North District of Watson. At the same time, a large amount of goods picked up by the Whirlpool Gang are stored in large quantities.
The total population of Adecado is in the hundreds of thousands, which is a lot, but this time it's no longer mosquito legs.
[Panam: Got it - are you really only 20 years old? He feels more mature than Sol. 】
It is true that he is not 20 years old. To be precise, his biological age is 18.
The money was huge, but V and Jack didn’t have much of an objection.
The second expense was the cost of hiring David's team - but it was just drizzle. They were so happy to throw away 150,000 yuan.
Because this is definitely not the general market price for mercenaries in Night City. If it were left to a middleman, it would be very good if they could get 50,000 yuan out of the 150,000 yuan.
Lille is not a stingy brother, I can only say that David is very lucky.
The good thing is that V doesn’t have any objections.
The last one is the big one. The Feitian motorcycle itself is modified based on the finished product Nazarey, and costs 30,000 yuan per unit.
But it is modified and produced according to the drawings, including turbofans, high-pressure jet boxes, extremely sophisticated electronic control systems, and even lightweight body structures
If nothing else, processing high-precision curved surfaces on high-strength materials is a very complicated task, let alone customization.
If these materials and components were bought normally, they would basically be at a price but not marketable. That is to say, Sherman's corporate status gave him a wide range of contacts and he could find suppliers.
The price is certainly not cheap.
“.Then there is our equipment fee. A motorcycle costs 100,000.”
“One hundred thousand?!” V opened his eyes wide.
Lille also stared back: "One hundred thousand is a lot!"
Just kidding, these technologies require companies in the cyberpunk world to spend hundreds of millions in research funds——
Propulsion engines with such an impressive thrust-to-weight ratio are now used in floating vehicles!
That is to say, Lille has cheated and eliminated the steps of research and development. Otherwise, it would be a dream to get these things for only 100,000 yuan!
So Hu Lier was very confident.
V sat back angrily: "Okay. For the sake of the car, one hundred thousand is one hundred thousand, so 200,000 will be deducted here?"
"Yes, 200,000 will be deducted." Lille He continued, "Then the car, and then the car will be To put a motorcycle and a linear frame, the entire carriage must be expanded.”
Space expansion is only one aspect, because the equipment needs to be adjusted frequently, so precision manipulators, welding devices, electronic fine-tuning, etc. are also required. .
Mackinac’s car is big, but not big enough in comparison.
The most important thing is that the turbofan can be installed on the car. The engine, frame, casing and even the internal structure must be reviewed by Adrian. The final version of the car will definitely amaze the world.
But we can talk about this later, and we can still give V and Jack a surprise then.
Liel adjusted a picture to show Jack and V.
“The car has been changed to dual rear wheels, and the chassis is borrowed from Merrimack’s ‘Magician’. It probably looks like this.”
“This car is exciting.” Jack commented, “It’s obvious at first glance. I know it’s a big guy, but it’s not cheap.”
“It’s really not cheap. The modifications we use are more expensive.”
"Wait a minute -" V suddenly said, "Didn't Tingwei sponsor us for free? And if it is changed to this, is it still Mackinac?"
This seems to be a philosophical question, but Lear knew that V's focus was definitely not a philosophical issue.
“That’s a good question!” Lille praised, “But don’t you think that among all the Mackinacs, if the Legendary Mackinac looks the same as other Mackinacs, it would look very unworthy?
So this new model is indeed not a Mackinac, but a 'Legendary' Mackinac.
Sherman will be responsible for establishing relations with Tingwei Company. I estimate that the vehicle equipment should not cost anything. Money.
But for the other parts, we have to pay for it ourselves——
Oh, why are you asking so many questions, and you don’t understand, just say whether you want it or not! "
"I agree." Just as Jack raised his hand to vote, he was grabbed by V.
V bit his fingernails.
It's bad, she is indeed very I want to upgrade the Mackinac. Although the reference picture provided by Lear is crude and stupid, the basic Mackinaw is also very stupid!
What does it have to do with the Mackinaw they opened?
It's broken, it's really broken - she originally wanted to put a stumbling block for Lille regarding the team's expenses
Otherwise, there seems to be no problem with the money. She can't spend money at all. The expense was charged to Lille.
The debts owed are getting smaller and smaller, and I feel like there are ants crawling in my heart.
Lille saw V's ambivalence at a glance:
The sample, the expenses are perfect, the money for this car must be deducted from the team project.
I think back then, he was in debt just because he took the money from the team project and charged it to himself.
Jack, on the other hand, rarely looked at Lear with a meaningful look like he was looking at a not-so-smart person, and then silently picked up the Rainbow Manticore at hand.
You can settle this yourself.
"Okay!" V made up his mind, "How much?"
"For the whole package, 300,000." Lille sent the price list, and then quickly closed and transitioned to the next stage.
These two people don’t know how to read it anyway.
“Then there is the equipment. The linear frame needs to be improved, the gloves need to be optimized based on combat feedback, and the landing device.
By the way, your leg prosthesis, bones, and Anywestan may need to continue to upgrade, then."
As V listened, he suddenly realized that the more the money is used, the less money will be divided in the end? !
Then there will be less to pay back!
Magical mathematics.
"Okay!" V interrupted Lille, "Just tell me how much these will cost!"
"Preliminary estimate is to reserve at least 600,000. I'll find out. Are there any new materials and technologies? ”
Jack squirted out a sip of his drink: "How much?"
"Okay!"
V agreed decisively.
Liel shrugged and explained to Jack: "Later upgrades require ordering more samples for testing, which is more expensive."
"No, it's not that I don't mind the money. , but Lao Wei’s arm is only small, so how awesome is such an expensive prosthetic body?”
Jack looked at the boxing champion arm that he had given his life for, and he couldn't imagine what hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of prosthetic equipment looked like.
“Actually,” Lille thought for a while and said, “Powerful and tough equipment and materials are easy to find, but safe ones are different.
The Whirlpool Gang is a good example. .”
V and Jack immediately understood what Lear meant.
Yes, prosthetics with powerful combat capabilities are not uncommon on the streets.
Just add a projectile launcher to your hand, and the power of the explosive bomb is enough to blow up most cars.
This ejection device can be very mechanized, and the transmission and parts used can even be rusty second-hand prosthetic parts. The system only needs to be able to support the launch operation.
But with a prosthetic body like this, the probability of problems is quite high.
Now they are no longer poor street boys. This comparison can be understood by looking at the Uzumaki Gang.
Do any of those crazy Uzumaki gangs really have more prosthetics than they do? Not really.
"The good news is." Lille changed the topic, "We have many channels at hand, and the Whirlpool Gang has a lot of inventory. After Adecado finishes counting the things, we can try out these goods.
Maybe 600,000 won't be used up at all.
Excluding some scattered expenses, we will divide 1.2 million this time, and each person will get 400,000.
In fact, it is not just 600,000. May not be used up, others"
[Sender: Bryce]
[Bryce: Are you in the Whirlpool Gang? ]
[Bryce: Forget it, stop pretending. I know you are in the Whirlpool Gang. Do you still remember the three commissions I told you before? 】
[Bryce: One of them has a follow-up, and a hacker may have escaped to that area. 】
[Bryce: Let’s get some data. 】
[Lille: Interview. 】
"What a coincidence, maybe another sum of money will be credited to the account."
"No!" V suddenly shook his head, "Safety first, you spent all the 600,000 on me. By the way, Adecado and Da Wei, why don't you give them another bonus?"
Lil looked at V with a strange look on his face: "What's wrong with your brain."
"I said let you use it. Just use it up! How can you be a big brother?”
“You”
Jack put one hand on the edge of the window, drinking a drink, and did not worry about whether the 400,000 was too much or too little.
This amount of money was already an amount that he had never dared to imagine before.
Opening a Mackinaw, drinking Manticore, and using an awesome prosthetic body to become the legendary big brother. He has already done this, what else can he say?
It’s time to think about when to get married
【Unstable energy is about to explode. 】
