Chapter 837 Jirafa Industry
This is indeed an acquaintance.
Night City once had a lot of European mercenaries, including these two guys
One of these two people was codenamed Phantom, and the other was codenamed Iron Hand. When they first met Responsible for protecting Yoshida Kurosaki and letting the Mewtwo dealer escape from David.
But then the car was blown up by V and Jack, and he stayed in Night City ever since. Finally, he did some things for Lear in Dog Town. Although it wasn't much, he still had some contact.
As for the reward, the reward they wanted at that time was: they had to videotape the entire process.
Obviously, after a while, these two people are media people disguised as mercenaries
[Johnny: Legend is always surrounded by media people who are desperate for their lives. It seems that you also have little followers. . 】
[Lille: That was the market situation 50 years ago. The media that dare to do this now are just asking for trouble. But they are doing better than I imagined. 】
Even in a free place like Night City, liberal media people are just a label and a persona.
Some people are pure good citizens, and they will believe in any news as long as it is labeled with an official label. This group of people is the majority in the European Community. They only read media reports such as XBC, and it is best to have royal endorsement.
But the opposite is true in Night City, or the proportion of another group of people has increased a lot.
In the hidden corners of the public Internet, as long as you put things like "exclusive news" and "unofficial history", a group of people who firmly believe in conspiracy theories will flock to the forum, and they will feel like they are watching these messages. Master the truth of the world and the truth of how the world operates.
Fifty years ago, the Internet allowed all kinds of hackers to show off their skills. The intricate network structure was as difficult to trace and understand as a mountain of code. However, since entering the new era, any network construction has basically bypassed Do not open the blackwall——
After experiencing the tragic situation of collapse, no one is willing to bet with their lives whether rogue AI will sneak into their network.
If you can't get around the blackwall, you can't get around network censorship. If you can't get around network censorship, it means it's almost impossible for you to get around the mainstream public opinion controllers and publish something they don't like.
Unless you are behind your back There are other opinion controllers who want to attack another opinion controller.
This is also true in Night City: News 54 and WNS would have been doomed long ago without the support of military technology and Arasaka.
In Europe, this situation will only become more severe. If you want to live a good life, it is impossible to run real self-owned media.
How can the poor have the money to support the pursuits of these media people? the truth? The poor have no money to pursue the truth.
Lille's warning about the situation for media people flashed through his mind. Seeing the two people entering the door, Elliot stood up quickly:
"Two good men, I really want to thank you this time. If you hadn't led the way in the city, , It’s really troublesome this time, what do you call it?”
Phantom? He plopped down on the sofa and grabbed the synthetic pie on the table very naturally:
"My name is Phantom, his name is Iron Hand, and we are here to make a film - Free Media People.”
Hearing this name, Elliot and Sevens were stunned for a moment.
And Elliot's reaction was much greater!
"You are. You are the chief producer of "Mysterious Burger King"!"
He was not the only one who was stunned. There were entities and incorporeals in the whole room, just him and Lille didn't react much, and everyone else had at least one second to react.
[Title: "Mysterious Burger King"]
[Producer: Unnamed freelance media person: Northland Storm Studio (digital anti-counterfeiting label)]
[Producer: Phantom, Iron Hand]
[Introduction: The North American legendary Burger King's trading of stupid big shots has set off a bloody storm in Night City. The whole world is paying attention to what this mercenary with a strange name will leave behind. The legendary story.
At this moment, no one thought that this strangely named mercenary gang would become a large-scale criminal gang that all of North America would avoid in the future. 】
【This documentary will give you a closer look at the mysterious Burger King businessman. Through this film, you will have an in-depth understanding of this organization with a weird name but one that is not to be underestimated. 】
【Is it a joke or a legend? Is it an evil terrorist leader who frightens Night City so much, or is it a symbolic meaning and symbol that has other meanings to Night City? 】
[This epic about violence, ambition and humanity will be presented to you by Northland Storm Studio. 】
As mentioned before, Elliot is extremely concerned about Night City. Like everyone who likes to express their opinions on the Internet, he pays attention to the free Night City and collects many mysterious discs. ——
This is one of them, and one of the few among the many Mewtwo movies, most of which use first-person vision.
"It's your fault, I'm a fan of Burger King!"
"Uh" Phantom glanced at his partner and smiled brightly, "Then you should know that I am What are you here for? We are here to record these big events. People these days need something exciting, something that looks very exciting to stimulate their nerves. Our studio does not bother to make such low-level movies. It’s high-end fun!”
[Johnny: This is the Burger King they are talking about.]
[Muramasa: That’s him! 】
Lille appeared next to Elliot expressionlessly and pinched his shoulder:
[Lille: Let’s get down to business, stop talking nonsense. 】
"It's true. I want to know who you are here on behalf of? I mean"
Severns decisively took over the conversation: "Do you have a permission and broadcast number from the cultural management department?"
"Of course."
Under Phantom's instructions, Iron Hand produced a string of laser codes.
“Since we can be regarded as colleagues, I will not hide it from you. Beidi Construction Group has seen your potential and hopes that we will increase our influence.”
Severns nodded beside him. After confirming the code online, he was about to speak when Elliot interrupted directly:
"No way, Beidi Construction Group is just a poor guy doing civil engineering. They have no money. I don’t have the strength to do this.”
Sevens was stunned, and at the same time he became anxious: Brother, why did you speak so aggressively since you were born?
But Phantom's reaction was completely different from what he expected.
“Haha, your little mouth is so damn sweet, I thought this was the City of Night for a moment.
If I were the public relations officer of Beidi Construction Group, I would withdraw the investment right now. However, there is nothing wrong with your guess. Sponsorship is indeed not decided by Beidi Construction Group.
But I’m just a stinky part-time worker.”
“What’s so shameful about this? ”
With Lille’s ideas and peacetime reminders of what attitude he should have, Elliot became more and more familiar with controlling his body and speech.
He raised his hand and shook his shoulders, as if this was really something with nothing to hide: "We are partners, and the final benefits will also fall on the company behind the scenes. The people behind the scenes will definitely know who they are. Sponsoring you.
We can indeed know or not know, but we are colleagues now.
I am just a poor worker, trying to get out with my head in my waistband. You know everything about me. If you hide anything, don’t blame me for being wary of you. "
After hearing this, Phantom thought for a while: "Okay. What you said makes sense. It is Jilafa Company that is sponsoring it behind the scenes. ”
Gilafa Company, one of the largest companies in the Soviet Union.
In Europe, there is only one kind of company that can be called a big company: the internal senior managers of this company can communicate with senior executives Position personnel exchange each other.
And their real owners can even reserve and default the positions of relevant democratic decision-making positions.
However, there is only one Su Petrochemical in the Soviet Union, and half a level below it is a company like Jilafa Industries.
Unlike Su Petrochemical, a super enterprise whose senior managers repeatedly jumped between administrative agencies and companies, Jilafa became a giant enterprise simply because it mastered a large number of high-tech technologies and was so profitable:
Almost all construction group companies around the world must use construction machinery from Jilafa Industries when carrying out projects, otherwise they will be ruthlessly eliminated by the market.
Thinking about this, Lille thought: In Night City, Adecado also rented Girafa's machine to repair buildings.
Unsurprisingly, the large-scale construction in Taiping Prefecture after Night City will also provide many orders for Jilafa.
It seems that Jilafa has always been thinking about causing trouble, and is far more active than they show on the surface.
