Chapter 599 Fiona's Little Treasury
Company executives like to keep their emotions and anger hidden. This is not only a trend, a trend of admiring strength, but also because it is really strong. .
A stable internal environment can keep the mind basically stable, prevent the prosthetic body from showing symptoms of cyberpsychosis to the greatest extent, and prevent the brain from being impulsive.
Of course, there are also a lot of studies and examples that prove that using hormone controllers all the time does not guarantee that abnormalities will not occur -
This is also something Fiona has studied, but now her head is completely They were confused, just talking and answering, just like ordinary people who were afraid.
"The first thing is that Luxor Villa is out of use. Do you have a backup plan?"
"Yes." Fiona looked at the Mantis Knife in horror, "Please don't kill me!"
"How could I kill you?"
V said as he withdrew the knife. The big box behind Lear's wheelchair suddenly opened and a pneumatic injection popped out. Jack was responsible for the injection——
Bah.
Once the medicine entered the body, the injury, which had no major bleeding points, instantly stopped bleeding and the pain was greatly suppressed.
This series of operations made her brain feel like it was on a roller coaster. Without the hormone controller, she also became cautious:
Just now she was sure that these three people could not kill her, then It is a rational judgment.
But sometimes a little more emotion can make people see the truth: Lille may completely kill her because he does not need this high-end talent, and her life depends purely on her performance.
She didn't know the way, and she came to this conclusion because she was afraid. The reasoning process was wrong, but the result was right. It was exactly what Lear wanted her to realize.
She clutched her chest, shocked by the accuracy and handling of the attack, and pointed carefully to the other side of the villa.
"There are still some equipment there. I thought if something happens, I can think about leaving here or rebuilding. Now that I have you, I think. I think you should decide."
"Too Okay, let’s rebuild it,” V replied decisively, “We can hire someone to do the project. , security, and supply, but there needs to be a route in from outside Dog Town.
I think Hansen should pay more attention to his rules: everything that comes in must have a name. The one you usually take. What channel?”
“Uh scavenger”
Everyone in Night City hates scavengers, but Fiona's moral bottom line is obviously not that high. Her views on scavengers are the same as her views on biotechnology:
There are many things in this world. It is not decided by the company. Whether it is a company or a scavenger, good people or bad people cannot explain the world at all.
The Iron Hands and Phantoms that she had been able to fight in this area before could only spit dirty words. After losing their prosthetic body, she didn't even dare to fart at V.
Because she saw V frowning.
“Haha, why the hell didn’t you speak”
Phantom, who noticed this, was about to gloat when V glared at him, scratched his head in embarrassment, and closed his mouth.
[V: This person cooperates with the scavenger. 】
【Jack: Shall we continue? 】
[Lille: Continue. 】
Seeing that V had no reaction, Fiona continued: "There are three main forces in Dog Town: the Scavengers, the Voodoo Gang, and the Nether Dogs.
The Nether Dog has the biggest fist, but Hansen doesn't do small business, and he can't do it. However, people can't live on ammunition and weapons alone. People have to eat, have blood transfusions, and replace prosthetic bodies.
The Scavengers have a trade network all over the city and have a wide range of relationships. They are not only related to local hobby workers and street gangsters who like to take drugs, but also to high-end customs made by companies who cannot afford it. body and doping company employees. Companies are generally trying to reduce costs and increase efficiency. If they can’t afford genuine products, they can only buy pirated ones.
In short, they have supplied a lot of blood and prosthetic bodies to Dog Town, although this place is still lacking these things.
The Voodoo Gang was originally hired by Hansen to help them with network security and repair some facilities and equipment in Dog Town. Later, they came up with their own little ideas while doing it, and the scavengers were similar.
They have a den in the Changtang stockyard, where they handle the business of Dog Town. Some companies' goods will go from there, and my main equipment comes from there.
In fact, except for Hansen's airdrop, most of the goods must first be turned into garbage through formal procedures and enter the Long Beach stockyard before they can enter the stadium.
If you want to bring stuff in in bulk, you have to control the Long Beach stockyards. ”
Long Beach Stockyard is the residential area of Dog Town and also the core area. Various buildings are densely piled together, including abandoned construction facilities, unfinished unfinished buildings, and empty buildings. The container contains all the people who have been abandoned and hunted by society.
But in fact, the value of the logistics trade going on under the shabby appearance ranks among the highest in the world, and there are people hiding inside. , of course it’s not really that simple.
"Very good." V nodded with satisfaction, "Now that the scavengers can't do business with you, how much was the trade flow between you and them before?"
Fiona said without pause: "In the past year, the equipment and materials passed through their hands were worth 5.2 million euros, and they took 20% of the value of the materials."
How much? !
V almost lost control of his expression, and Jack's expression completely collapsed.
Jack is not the only one whose momentum has completely collapsed. The expressions of Phantom and Iron Hand are completely unbearable:
Five million and two million? !
Doesn’t that mean that the ground-penetrating bomb just now blew up at least this amount of money? !
No, that's just a year's investment, and everyone knows that the initial investment in such a research institute will definitely be more, because there are many facilities and equipment that can be used for a long time.
A 200,000-euro ground-penetrating bomb blew up a research institute worth tens of millions.
Liel doesn’t find it strange: prices in this world are quite distorted.
One or two million is enough for ordinary people to live a good life. The price of some top sports cars will not exceed this amount. Even a floating car can be considered.
99.9999% of people will never make so much money in their lifetime, but for multinational companies and cutting-edge research laboratories, this is just the beginning.
They try their best to squeeze the cost of employees in every production link in order to enhance product competitiveness and leave more money to invest in research and development. Fiona has the world's leading neural implants. It is reasonable to invest so much in this research.
But then again, for a gang like the Scavengers, 20% of 5.2 million, or 1.04 million euros, is definitely a huge amount.
V replied: "Stop trading immediately."
"I can't trade anymore." Fiona spread her hands. "The materials were sent by Biotechnology and other investors. Now this place has become such a mess. My research also belongs to you. Biotechnology is They must have withdrawn their investment. It is normal for other investors to withdraw their investment directly if they lose their relationship with biotechnology.
I still have some money in my account, but I can’t buy anything.”
Scientific research is a long-term life, and Neuroscience Research Institute 341 does not always produce high-level results. When there are no results, what people value is its identity.
“We have it.” V pointed at Matt, “I said, we are also salesmen, everything is business as usual, and then
This thing is very expensive, you said there are some more How much is it?”
The struggle on Fiona's face only appeared for a moment, and the rest was slump.
"Four million euros."
V leaned back slightly and showed a heartfelt smile: "Not bad, thank you for your patronage, and please hurry up and arrange our sports star show. ”
