Chapter 344 Energy Wallet
“First of all, in order to draw them out, Santo Domingo needs to hold an event with many people and a big scene, and then pull up a banner.
Don’t you want to be America and promote the American spirit?
Now the community needs confidence to hold an event like this.”
“But for what purpose?”
"You are in civil strife now, brother." Lille said, "Yes, mercenaries are the biggest trouble, but on the surface you are in civil strife. Your little brother has found mercenaries to rebel.
Santo Ming Ge must know who is the real king and who should pay, right?"
"Oh, I understand." The sergeant shook his finger, suddenly realizing, "Forcing them to come forward, but can they do it? ?”
Should be able.
Lille felt that although this matter was a civil strife on the surface, there was a high probability that the mercenaries wanted to be the boss, or help some behind-the-scenes figures to promote their influence.
Controlling gangs means controlling local residents, which is very helpful for shipments.
For example, if Military Technology has a good relationship with the Six Street Gang, they can rely on this relationship to sell products in many places. It’s not that other companies are bad, but if the Six Street Gang does a little bit of manipulation, the sales cost will surge. .
The cost covers the profit, so it is better not to sell.
Since they thought of starting with gangs, it is impossible not to interfere with such activities, because this is the most hardcore and common marketing in the cyberpunk world.
Corporate wars are fought based on this logic: I break your spine, so that others dare not buy things from you, and prevent others from buying things from you. Isn’t this a monopoly?
It is a very good idea to combat the arrogance of the Six Street Gang in organizing activities.
The people in Santo Domingo are poor and uneducated. If you ask them to compare the pros and cons of various brands, they really can’t compare them, but they are really afraid of anyone who bluffs them.
This is considered to be using one's body as bait. If you lose it, you have to say goodbye. If there is a choice, of course the sergeant cannot do this, but now Lear is in charge.
It is impossible for Lille to turn this commission into a tug-of-war. Danger is danger, so at least they should let the initiative go.
Of course, there must be a prerequisite for forcing the other side to come out: you must also have enough products to support people's lives.
Lear replied: "They will come out, but before that you have to get the Sixth Street Gang's business up, otherwise they will at best listen to you superficially."
The sergeant touched his mechanical leg and fell into thought. .
Although he didn't want to admit it, he agreed with Lille's thinking.
This time, we have to stabilize the mud-legged guys first. After all, he is the one being challenged. Stabilizing the position is always the first priority.
“Okay, I’ll listen to you, but I have a question, why did you start a business?”
Lear took out a chip, which contained a list of the products he could currently offer.
“It’s normal to have some channels after being around for so long.”
The sergeant was a little dubious.
He only knows that Burger King has a good relationship with the homeless. First, in the Biotechnology Building, they help the homeless work and the homeless provide them with cover.
Later, they also went to the bad land to avoid the limelight, but he didn't know exactly how they came back.
As for the rumor that Burger King will appear in Watson Industrial Area
Huh?
It's very possible, otherwise why didn't that guy Brick accept his offer for weapons?
Has Burger King found arms channels? Did he get involved with military technology?
It is useless to think too much. The sergeant began to look at the things on the list.
[Fresh plasma: whole blood, fresh, available in all types of blood. 】
[Order: 4500 euros/bag, lead time is 1 month, urgent orders will be discussed separately. 】
Plasma? The sergeant glanced at Lear suspiciously: What do you mean, doing business with scavengers?
Although the Sixth Street Gang are not good people, scavengers are the main enemies of their mission of "protecting the community."
It doesn’t look like it, keep looking.
[Iron Beetle UAV: military-grade main control and power system, equipped with self-developed 5.7mm smart weapons]
[Ordering: limited production capacity, 8000 euros/unit, bullets not included]
"This drone."
"It's the one I used at noon."
"Good brother, in fact, recently, military technology is not very fond of shipping to me. Just ask. Raise the price, bah.”
Leal smiled and nodded.
This path was not his fault, but it had a lot to do with him.
Shipping is necessary to make money. A large number of military technology drones have disappeared at the border, and the Six Street Gang is half-dead. Naturally, low-end distributors of drones will be re-evaluated.
After looking at it in detail, the sergeant nodded slightly: "Although it looks rough in workmanship, it is cheap enough. This thing is good."
Continue to read, the practicality of these goods is really great Great, the good sergeant couldn't believe it.
In terms of medical treatment, in addition to artificial plasma, Lille also sells biliverdin made from lizard serum, as well as a full range of first-generation prostheses that even support customization.
Although it is relatively backward, the poor people in Santo Domingo can only afford this kind, so this is not a problem at all.
He only knew that there were two arms sellers in Lille, and he might also know many excellent prosthetists, but he didn’t expect the product line to be so comprehensive! Taken together, there are actually quite a lot of things that can be sold
At least the cheap prosthetics and medical consumables that are used the most are unlikely to be reduced to trading with scavengers.
Lear continued: "And I also have arms dealers, butchers, and car sellers here. If you want armed vehicles, I have channels here, brand new Mackinac machine gun pickup trucks."
"I have my own car modification shop - but Mackinac is really good, can it be cheaper?"
"Yes, not only Mackinac can be cheaper, but everything on the list can be cheaper. "
The sergeant was stunned for a moment and did not answer the call. Instead, he waited for Lear to make conditions.
Lille's robot hand placed the box he carried on the table.
In the previous commission from Watson District, Jefferson transferred a huge sum of money to him -
The flow of funds in the millions of euros is already a huge amount of money. There is no doubt that the European bank immediately sent him a received various financial management text messages.
Although I don’t know how the mayoral candidate managed to make money instantly, Lille has been thinking about saving money.
The first problem is secrecy: the account used by Lille to collect payments was given by the priest when he first came to work in Night City.
These accounts are divided into 6 numbers, each of which is registered with the European Banking Union. The final amount displayed in the prosthetic system is the total amount, and the money collected is basically laundered money.
But in this cyberpunk world, Lear doesn't think the security of those online money laundering methods is that high.
In Night City, it is rare for anyone to be caught for illegal transfers and money laundering.
Because European banks don't care about crime in Night City, they have a high tolerance for it.
To put it bluntly, it's all about cost. They can't go to great lengths to investigate illegal activities because of the crime rate in Night City. All they want is everyone's euros.
But as things get worse, European banks may change their attitude towards Lille due to various problems, and that will not be good at that time.
Lille hopes to use a method to replace the euro for transactions. This is actually more dangerous than money laundering, but the sooner it is laid out, the better.
What is in the box is a seemingly inconspicuous invention in the technological chain of the two worlds:
The graphene battery used by Doctor Octopus on the octopus arm, Lear is already in the Marvel world It has been standardized.
He picked up the battery from the box. Its size was about the same as a small version of a smartphone from the old era, and it was enough to fit into a wallet.
The superior performance of 500Wh/kg allows it to store 1 kilowatt hour of electricity even if it is only the size of a palm, and can be used repeatedly.
Its excellent solid physical structure makes it difficult to be damaged. It is an excellent energy storage device.
In the cyberpunk world, energy equipment with extremely similar densities also exists, but most of the time it is for military use and can only be seen in expensive company facilities.
But this kind of battery has been put into large-scale production in the Marvel world. Because it adopts a cross-dimensional production model, the Cyberpunk world will also produce batteries of the same quality in equal quantities, which seems to have overcapacity.
Liel grabbed one of the batteries and explained it to the sergeant’s doubtful eyes: "I call this thing an energy wallet, each one can store 10 kilowatt hours of electricity.
If you If you can fully charge it and deliver it to the designated delivery point, I can give you the equivalent of the current electricity price.
And if the quantity reaches a certain amount, I can give you a small discount on the total price. ”
“Use batteries instead of euros for settlement? Picture what? Just because money is a hot commodity? I've laundered all the money, you don't have to worry about this. "The sergeant is puzzled.
Is there anything in this world that can replace money?
It is difficult for a money-oriented person to understand this behavior.
Liel has no intention Explanation.
"Just say whether you accept it or not."
Electric energy can always be put into production, and electricity generated by fuel oil, electricity generated by alcohol 2, and electricity generated by nuclear reactors are all the same.
Although it is a small loss, it is absolutely impossible for European banks to lock in Lille's power from a financial system. The difficulty of tracking will be doubled, and the evaluation will be greatly biased.
And Lille has more profound ideas about this system, which he had no time to complete in his previous life.
The sergeant thought for a while: "Okay, although business is not easy, I still have a lot of things on hand that can be charged."
"Very good, I will have more empty batteries sent to you, and I will also give some to the locals at the event."
"." The sergeant suddenly paused, "How do I feel about this?" Is that the biggest reason why you asked me to hold the event?”
“Illusion.” Lear shook his head, “Get ready, keep in touch, and I’ll take that mercenary away.”
< br>"Okay, I'll call someone now. It's not good if it takes too long. Let's do it the night after tomorrow, and I'll have the entire target shooting competition.
Just celebrate. What are you celebrating? If you don't celebrate the artillery, that idiot will die. ”
"Whatever you want."
No longer caring about the sergeant's activity planning, Lear was going back to the red shirt camp to reprocess the equipment.
More powerful weapons are circulating on the streets, and he also has to upgrade his equipment.
