i'm not a cyberpsychopath

Chapter 86 Sky City

In any case, except for Li Pan himself who wanted to change jobs, the rest of the team did not propose to resign after experiencing a mission.

And the head office also responded quickly, and they have always been lenient towards business settlement, and recognized the completion of the two tasks of "Fountain of Youth" and "Jinyao Academy", and recognized the contribution of Kotaro, Shiranui and Yamazaki to participate in the completion of the task, and they all received it. With their formal suits and a silver key, they are considered members of the company.

Since everyone is a team from now on, Li Pan also made some arrangements for the grassroots team under his hand.

Ah Qi and Lama continued to cooperate, continued to be in charge of the warehouse of the logistics department, and also managed the personnel department.

Regardless of whether there is interference from the ACA, the recruitment of personnel will definitely continue. It is difficult to recruit temporary workers for the company's headquarters, but the warehouse management personnel of the 41 external warehouses must also be filled.

In addition, Li Pan sent Liu Heitu's resume information obtained from Lao Wu to Ah Qi to arrange recruitment.This little old man is so good at Bajiquan, it must be useful to hire a temporary worker, and he must also want to heal his old waist.

If the file cabinet can restore old man Liu's combat effectiveness, a large number of masters under the Dragon Gang can poach corners and recruit them that day.

As for Kotaro, Shiranui and Yamazaki, they are all about their ability to make investigation reports, so they have to be placed in the business department.At present, there are too few people, otherwise Li Pan will also get a secretariat of the intelligence department and operations department.

In addition, Li Pan also sent them the big case in his hand, 'Holy Grail Bidding'.

"This is the company's long-term goal, and everyone can prepare first, including investigating the holder of the Holy Grail, its storage location, our competitors, and so on.

Of course, there is no rush for this matter, just prepare slowly, and just do some ordinary investigations and purchases.Oh, by the way, in order to avoid losing contact and to support each other, the business department should follow the regulations when going out to work, let's work together in a team, how about..."

Li Pan just wanted to say that Sister Shiranui and the two of us should be in a group. If we have nothing to do, we can do some exercises together.

Who knew that the other party picked up a task book and spoke first,

"I found out that some of the company's 'monster procurement' cases are aimed at the 'demon sealing device'. Feng Mojun, as the heir of the demon sealing family, you must be clear about these 'devil seals', how about we cooperate, How about transferring these out-of-control 'evil things' to the company to seal and keep them under strict supervision, so as not to be captured by Iga's ninjas and abuse the power of the demon god?"

Fengmo Kotaro smiled,
"That's exactly what I mean. I've heard about Shiranui Jōnin's method for a long time. You are a senior with rich experience in sealing demons. With your cooperation, I don't think I have to worry about Iga ninjas sneaking up on me from behind. The monster seal can definitely get twice the result with half the effort."

As for me, you two are on the hook, right? Don't bring personal grievances into work, hey!

Yamazaki Ayato, an undercover agent who has no eyesight, also raised his hand to show,

"General Manager, I found out that the object of this procurement case is an old acquaintance of my family. Why don't we purchase monsters together? Maybe I can persuade his family to lower the price and transfer it to the company."

Li Pan, "...well, well, let's arrange it like this."

So Ahqi Rama went to recruit people, two ninjas went to seal the demons, Li Pan and Yamazaki went to purchase, Shiba stayed behind to watch the house, responsible for technical support and always pay attention to the curve of the stock market...

Well, the black gold has not risen back yet, and 200 million was cut for urgent use before, so the trap is even tighter now.When will I be able to make small goals? I'll go...

"Boss, I made an appointment with my friend and got the permit. I can fly directly to Sky City."

"Fuck, you still have friends who live in Sky City? Then what kind of work do you still have?"

Sky City is the most upscale community in the Night City. It is a floating island floating in the sky, flying higher than the top of the clouds. The entire community is an independent villa of the top chaebol. There are several small goals in one house, even The gatekeepers are all from the security department.

Yamazaki Ayato also smiled wryly, and passed on the information,
"My grandfather used to be a guard for the Imai family. The young master of the Imai family and I have played together since childhood, so we can be considered friends."

"The Imai family? Oh, the congregation in Sakai Port..."

Li Pan also looked at the information compiled by Yamazaki and Shiba. At first, the Oda family was a samurai, and the congregation in Sakai Port was the royal businessman of the Oda family.

Later, the first generation of Oda gradually reformed the ruling model, and changed his career from being a shogun to doing business, so Takamahara Trading was gradually established and participated in the trade of the heavens. The role of the indigenous warriors in the past was not great, but these indigenous merchants He became the confidant of the Oda family, the treasurers of the group, and the professional managers and investment consultants under Gao Tianyuan. Although they do not have Gao Tianyuan's shares, they can get high remuneration and bonus dividends based on their performance.

In this way, the pattern of samurai as directors and businessmen as managers has continued.

The Imai family is the manager of the Oda family. Although they have no power, they have plenty of money. Besides, the directors of Gao Tianyuan are fighting for power and profit. No matter who wins the final victory, when it comes to dealing with business, they are still the shopkeepers. of.So these people are also happy to take paid time off.

So the floating vehicle came to the sky city 'Sakai Port' under the traction of automatic navigation.

This sky city is essentially a colonial ship transformed from an aircraft carrier. In fact, it is more fuel-efficient to park on the ground or on the track, so it can float in the sky without going up or down. The main reason is that it has money and no place to burn it...

The gap between Sky City and Night City is indeed worlds apart. One side is cyberpunk and the other is atom punk. Automatic shuttles come and go in the city, and the style of clothing is futuristic. Almost everyone They are all supermen filled with six-level prosthetic bodies, and there are medical insurance balls following them.

Oh, some people don't know what a medical insurance ball is. Simply put, it is a drone the size of an explosive ball. This is a high-tech device that Gao Tianyuan can't produce. Each ball is purchased from Tiantian Private Health Insurance Company. Gene customization, imported at a high price.

As long as you buy a monthly subscription platinum card from a private medical company, which is about a few million per month, you can enjoy the round-the-clock protection of the medical insurance world. In addition to providing you with constant medical monitoring, you can also provide molecular space suits, deflection positions, bulletproof and anti-virus, nano-recombination , air purification, etc., and various customized services, of course, the previously mentioned, time-sensitive chip data upload, and prosthetic body reincarnation insurance services are also indispensable.

To put it bluntly, even if this place is nuclear-leveled, they won't be able to hurt a single hair, and they will be reincarnated in another world in minutes.

Guided by the automatic navigation, the two of them came to the big garden in the city, probably the entertainment venue of Sky City. The inside is like a maze, with villas and restaurants all over the place. The waiters who come and go are all level five smart dolls, with smooth shell curves There are no screws or metal structures to be seen, just like human-shaped ceramic vases that have just been fired out of the kiln.

Don't look at the minimalist style of these puppets, but each one is a terminal robot with its own system intelligence. The whole process is monitored by QVN network, and it can become a top-level killing machine in an instant. Once a case occurs, it can be linked to the security department at any time. The agent comes in.

Guided by the puppet, the two of Li Pan entered the maze and met Yamazaki's friend in a villa-like bar.

Shoichiro Imai was lying upstairs with a man and three women in the lounge of the Qing Bar, drinking and chatting, using QVN to surf the Internet and travel around the world. The two of them came in under the guidance of the doll, and they also went offline to meet.

"Long time no see, Ayato, just sit down and want to drink something."

Li Pan took a look at the young master of the Imai family, hey, blond, blue-eyed, plastic surgery to the point that his race has changed, his whole body is covered with six-level prosthetic bodies, and the spine also uses anti-gravity devices, literally a superman.It can be seen that the whole body prosthetic body is a luxury product that cannot be produced locally in 0791, and the other few people are similar. They are all surrounded by medical insurance balls, obviously they are people from the same circle.

If there is any obvious difference from the people on the ground, it is that these people in the sky seem to be particularly lazy and at ease, lying in this paradise-like garden, surfing the Internet, chatting and drinking , enjoying an almost endless life.

It is true that there is no need to do anything. They are not the kind of social animals who work day and night, work overtime and work part-time.These people are the real rich second generation!Although he has no power, he is so rich!
The ancestral pocket money can be squandered for hundreds of generations, even if they lie there all day, watch dramas, surf the Internet, drink alcohol, all kinds of assets in their accounts, banks, funds, and stock markets will be raised at home With the hard work of the social animals, they continued to grow. What small goals, Star Destroyers, were earned in the blink of an eye.

And since there is no family name on the back of the Chinese, as long as you think about it, don't worry about the ranking of the board of directors, and don't intrigue for Gao Tianyuan's shares, there is no need to curry favor with those young princesses.

Even if the Ye Group is in power and they have money, they are still valued customers and the most welcome 'consumers' of Zhutian Company.

Stars and seas, bright future, infinite possibilities, this is the portrayal of their life.

"Imai-san, this is Manager Li of our company. As I said before, we are here today to purchase a piece of your collection."

This boy Yamazaki is indeed an elite. He smiles like a spring breeze, and his attitude is sincere and polite.

"You boy, why are you being polite to me. Come and have a drink first, I remember your taste, bourbon, right? Then you have taken it. I have a bottle of masterwork here, passed through a charred white oak barrel, After 12 years of aging, the taste of caramel and oak is very strong, but unfortunately it has been discontinued, you must try it.”

Imai Shoichiro landed with a smile, and pulled Yamazaki to the bar.

Li Pan also wanted to come and taste the old wine, but Imai smiled at him and made a gesture of invitation to the private room on the other side.

"This manager, the things your company wants have been brought, you can go and have a look."

Oh hang!Not even a glass of wine for me!Snob!
Yamazaki was behind Imai, and apologized to Li Pan with a wry smile.

Work was urgent, so Li Pan had no choice but to hang his face, and first followed the smart doll to the backstage of the bar to check the goods.

When they came to the bar of the private room, the puppet took a wooden box from the warehouse and opened it under Li Pan's eyes. What was placed in the box was the target of this purchase, the 'Golden Buddha'.

This is an ancient gold statue of Theravada Buddhism in South Asia. It is about [-] centimeters high. It is a unique vertical walking Buddha in the ancient Sukhothai Dynasty. Nose, broad shoulders and thin waist, the left hand is in the mudra of fearlessness, and the right hand is in the mudra of wish.It symbolizes the blessing of the Buddha, avoiding disasters, making good fortune, making money, and keeping peace.

This item appeared at an auction before. Due to its cultural relics and asset attributes, as well as the effect of Feng Shui, the enthusiasm of the merchants was high. The final transaction price greatly exceeded the budget of the company's finance department, and it was auctioned off by the Imai family.

And given that Gao Tianyuan was in full swing at the time, these 'Golden Buddhas' were stored in other people's warehouses and nothing major happened, and Monster Company didn't do anything to the other party.

Through the QVN secure link, Li Pan transferred to the smart puppet skeleton, picked up the golden Buddha and weighed it for inspection. It was heavy, and the scan showed that it was indeed pure gold.

And through his own eyes, he can clearly see that the face of the 'Golden Buddha' is full of black air, his fingertips are covered with blood, and under the gold foil of the Buddha statue, there are clearly bursts of black smoke, which is definitely a 'monster'.

Then Li Pan focused on the wooden box containing the Buddha statue.

This wooden box is made of sandalwood, with flowers, birds and wild animals painted on the surface with vermilion lacquer. It looks like it's just a decoration, but when I touched the lid, I found layers of charms stuck under the silk interlayer. The black air was sealed by these talisman papers.However, in order to avoid destroying the effect of the enchantment, Li Pan did not tear it open to see the specific spell.

Even the storage measures for the monsters are shipped as a set, as expected, you get what you pay for, if you are willing to spend money, the 'monsters' will be packaged perfectly for you.

After verifying the 'Golden Buddha', Li Pan came back to the bar.

"The things are good, let's make a price."

Shoichiro Imai and Ayato Yamazaki looked at each other and said with a smile,

"Then transfer the original price to you, 700 million, excluding tax, do you want to see the invoice?"

Although the other party was quite easy to talk to, Li Pan's face was still frozen,
"Too expensive. Cheaper."

After all, the company's valuation of this thing was only 500 million at the beginning, and the budget was only 1000 million. It was forced to raise the price for these auspicious chaebols...

Imai laughed and said,
"Manager Li, you guys want to buy it. I'm not short of money, and I don't have to sell it. It's very polite to transfer the original price to you."

Li Pan was also a little embarrassed,
"Get a discount and make a friend."

Ayato Yamazaki also persuaded,
"Yeah, Ichiro, there are some things that you don't want to keep at home, why don't you just treat them as a hidden danger for you?"

Shoichiro Imai was noncommittal,
"That thing has been in my library for so many years, so it doesn't have any influence, it's just an object, and there are no hidden dangers.

Well, Aya, I will save face and take care of your business this time, so let me count 500 million. "

Ayato Yamazaki also gave Li Pan a wink. His business is interesting enough. Isn't it enough to save face by 200 million?
However, Li Pan was still in a dilemma. It was so much over-budget that it would be a ghost if the finance at the headquarters could agree.

Seeing his expression, Imai laughed.
"You can't take it? Although my father often said that I am a prodigal son, I can't give it to you for nothing, right?
Lingren, I'm not sincerely embarrassing you, but you came to ask about this thing, and I also casually asked for a price on the Internet. Look, it was given by someone else. "

Then he raised his hand and projected a quote from another online company.

Sixty-five million, excluding taxes.

Well, who else is there, the ACA Collectors Association.

"hiss……"

Good guy, the front foot is here, and the back foot is here to raise prices to disrupt the market, right?

Li Pan's face was livid, "Wait for me to make a call."

Imai also smiled, and greeted Ayato for another drink.

So when Li Pan went out and chatted with the headquarters for a while, he came back with a new offer.

"We offer 1000 million..."

Shoichiro Imai smiled and shook his head at Ayato Yamazaki.

"Buy that box."

"Buy... a box?" Imai frowned, "Cash?"

Li Pan nodded,

"That's right, cash, buy the box, ACA's quotation is for 'Golden Buddha', isn't it, then you can give them separately, and you can make another fortune, so you won't lose money."

Imai looked at him suspiciously,
"You really only want boxes?"

Li Pan smiled,

"Just the box. And in order to prevent the monster from getting out of control, we can wait until your Excellency and ACA trade on the spot, and then take the box away. What do you think?"

"Oh, are you people who want to meet the Collection Association?"

Shoichiro Imai agreed after thinking for a while. After all, the battle between the two companies has nothing to do with him, but this change of hands has earned 800 million in cash!
Even if the Imai family itself is not short of money, this is not a small amount. Isn't the speculation in antiques itself just for investment.It's safe to put your pockets in your pocket. When it's time to make a move, businessmen won't be greedy.

So the two parties reached a purchase agreement to buy the box and return the pearl. The company spent 1000 million to buy a box containing the 'Golden Buddha'. Now it is waiting for Shoichiro Imai to contact ACA to pick up the goods.

Yamazaki Ayato said it was difficult to understand.

"Manager, is this really feasible?"

Li Pan nodded,
"The head office agreed to my proposal, free market, free competition, and the higher-ups also want to see what the origin of ACA is and what confidence they have to compete with us. Of course, if they don't have the ability to take the 'Golden Buddha' out of the box Come on, that's none of our business. I'm going to take the box back today anyway, as I said."

Yamazaki hesitated.

"But since ACA has poached so many people from the company, maybe they are prepared? If they can think of other ways to deal with the 'Golden Buddha'..."

Li Pan laughed and said,

"Stupid, then it's just a matter of grabbing it back. The monster mission is not like this, just grab it and grab it."

Moreover, Li Pan estimated that the company would pay 1000 million yuan to purchase the 'Golden Buddha' anyway, and he could make a small profit by taking the 'Golden Buddha' back and selling it to the company.

In addition, to be honest, if the defense of Sky City is not too strict, Li Pan would have snatched the 'Golden Buddha' right now, and sold it to ACA, 500 million... Monsters are really valuable... …

But Yamazaki was still a little worried.
"Then if there is no box to keep it, will the 'Golden Buddha' really get out of control and go berserk? Will there be a disaster that destroys the night capital..."

"Ah, ah, I saw it just now, and it's not something that will explode when you take it out. Didn't Zhang Lang also say that it's been fine for so many years. It's okay, it's okay."

Imai also got in touch soon,
"They immediately sent someone to pick it up, and someone will be here tonight."

Li Pan nodded and smiled, "That's fine, I don't want to delay too long, it's best to end the transaction as soon as possible."

Imai also nodded and smiled, "Please look at that thing, Aya, let's drink two more glasses!"

Damn...this Zhang Lang is really annoying...
