from night city

Su Xiao and Goro Takemura who were driving looked at each other and smiled.

"How is it possible? In fact, the electronic bank account that the rich and powerful are paying ransom for is our account."

In fact, a few months ago, Su Xiao arranged for several of his most trusted hackers in the company to settle down in Switzerland.

In order to facilitate their movement, a villa was rented for them in Switzerland as their base of activities.

The task of these hackers is mainly to help Sugon Military Company establish anonymous accounts in Switzerland.

There are dozens of main accounts, and even more sub-accounts.

What Su Xiao asked the team leader to register was one of their main accounts.

This hacker team is on call 24 hours a day.

As long as money is transferred, they will immediately start to transfer all the money in the main account to those sub-accounts.

Then, they would go to the ATM, withdraw the money, and reload it on the credit chip.

In other words, even if the rich and powerful call the police after they are safe, it will be of no use.

The money in the electronic bank account where they ransom money had long been transferred.

And those accounts are all registered anonymously, leaving no clues.

Some people may ask, ATMs are generally monitored, are you not afraid of being photographed when you withdraw money?

In fact, there is no need to worry about this, isn’t that what hackers do.

In fact, Su Xiao's idea at the beginning was to let those rich and powerful guys leave directly.

After all, their goals were only Yanan, the number two figure in the Shining Group, and Flores, the representative of the elite.

But Lidya Su thought again.

If you just let them run away like this.

That doesn't quite fit the character of the rebels.

It’s okay to keep your word.

But there is no reason not to take a bite of the meat that reaches your mouth.

Asking for a ransom will not only add icing on the cake to Shuguang Military Company, but will also further cement the involvement of anti-government armed forces.

Why not?

Chapter 336 Two giant companies serve me, how lucky is this? (4K)

A week was enough for Su Xiao and his party to drive out of Chile and return to Bolivia.

They did not return directly to the capital, but entered a military base outside the capital.

After entering the military base, Yanan and Flores were immediately separated to access their electronic computers.

Before this, Lidya Su always felt strange.

Bolivia's elite not only lost their status and power, they couldn't even take their wealth with them.

There may be some money in their Swiss account.

But as we all know, generally powerful people do not hold too much liquid capital.

This is the difference in cognitive concepts between rich people and ordinary people.

In the eyes of ordinary people, they will basically use their excess money to save. Of course, it does not rule out that ordinary people who have a certain ability to manage their own assets may use it to speculate in stocks, invest in funds, or speculate in stocks. room and the like.

But most ordinary people still choose to save.

But in the eyes of wealthy people, putting extra money in the bank is not called savings, but gradually turns into waste paper.

The interest rate of a few percent is simply not worth it to rich people, and it is not enough to squeeze their teeth.

Therefore, rich people will only keep a part of their working capital and spend most of their money on industry and real estate.

Now, all their industrial and real estate properties in Bolivia have been confiscated.

Just relying on the little liquidity on hand is enough for them to spend lavishly.

How can we get enough benefits to impress the Shining Group?

Lidya Su has never been able to figure this out.

It wasn't until Lucy pried open the electronic brains of Yanan and Flores one after another and read all the information that Su Xiao finally knew why the Shining Group

A deal will be reached with the elite represented by Flores.

Because the elite class actually controls the locations of several secret treasure troves left behind by Captain Cuvatro.

Who is Captain Cuvatro?

He was Bolivia's head of state and supreme commander of the armed forces during the Fourth Corporate War.

Because when he launched the coup, his position was captain.

He felt that there was God's will in the dark, and the word "captain" sounded quite easy to pronounce, so he did not give himself a promotion or title.

Although he is the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces, his position remains that of Captain.

Captain Cuhuatero ruled Bolivia for a full 42 years.

During his reign, Bolivia could not be said to be prosperous and full of spring, but at least it could be said that the people were in dire straits and in a state of smog.

However, although under his governance, Bolivia is celebrating the Chinese New Year like Wang Xiaoer - every year is worse than the previous year, but Captain Cuevatero's personal assets are rising like a rocket.

In addition to the entire country being his back garden, according to folk rumors, he also secretly hid several secret treasures throughout Bolivia.

These secret treasure troves contain astonishing wealth.

Someone might ask.

Bolivia is just a poor country. Even if it collects all taxes after 90 years, it will only have so little money.

Where can I get so much money and a secret treasure trove?

In fact, this is related to the fourth corporate war.

The fourth corporate war began in 2021. At the beginning, there were only two ocean development companies, CINO (International Maritime and Ocean Corporation) and OTEC (Ocean Technology and Energy Corporation), because of the competition for a third-party company-IHAG (International Merchant Marine). company) remaining in control of its assets and reached a deadlock in negotiations.

The competition between the two sides is quite fierce.

After the brutal financial confrontation, relations quickly soured.

OTEC hired military technology to protect its interests and temporarily gained the upper hand in the fight.

Naturally, CINO was not to be outdone and signed an employment contract with the Arasaka Group.

At this point, the fourth corporate war, also known as the Ocean War, officially broke out.

As in the early stages of corporate conflict, the first strikes unfold quietly in the shadows—mid-level corporate employees are assassinated, and shady information is stolen or exposed.

Both sides hired cyber hackers as a strike force. They launched massive hacking attacks on the enemy's cached data and stocks, which in turn caused huge fluctuations in the global economy.

These incidents forced network surveillance to impose a temporary communication blockade on Arasaka Company and Military Technology, but the fun had just begun.

By the time European banks successfully mediated the conflict between CINO and OTEC, the real conflict had quietly shifted to between Military Technology and Arasaka.

In early 2022, a new conflict between the two security giants has begun. Today, this war is called the Shadow War.

This also marks the second stage of the fourth corporate war.

Conflicts during the Shadow War phase were more open and brutal than before.

Mercenaries and netrunners swarmed into the two security companies and launched open military operations and raids on the enemy's military and scientific research institutions.

Although the nature of the conflict is instinctive, the Internet's deadliest battles begin as corporations and hired cyberrunners unleash a new generation of devastating viruses on their opponents.

Some of these codes are still running even years after their creators have died, leaving vast areas of dark, unpatched space in cyberspace.

In June 2022, both Military Technology and Arasaka Corporation believed that there was no need to stick to small-scale surgical operations, so the conflict entered the third stage-thermal weapon warfare.

The conflict between the two companies escalated into an all-out war.

Some cities, such as Rio de Janeiro, were razed to the ground and their residents either killed or forced to flee their homes and become refugees.

When the conflict reaches this stage, no other part of the world can remain immune except Asia and Europe.

They are forced to choose sides:

Either side with Military Technology or Arasaka.

The conflict of the Fourth Corporate War certainly affected Bolivia as well.

Bolivia is located in the core of South America. Although it is cut off from the sea by Peru and Chile, these two countries were also in the midst of serious civil strife at the time.

In fact, not only these two countries, but most countries in Central and South America have been hit hard by the devastating virus spread by the fourth corporate war.

Government functions have been paralyzed, assets in national banks have evaporated due to the virus, and social unrest has intensified.

In all of Central and South America, Bolivia is the only stable country.

Captain Cuvatero is a soldier. He does not believe in cyberspace and the Internet. He believes that only what is in his hand is the safest.

Therefore, during his administration, the military government used pen and paper extensively for work and storage. Even if computers had to be used for some tasks, operators were prohibited from connecting to the Internet.

In addition, no matter it is a large transaction or a private sale, the use of electronic bank accounts is not allowed, and all settlements will be made in cash.

Doing so will certainly result in extremely low efficiency and

A lot of trouble and cumbersomeness, but when the virus of the Fourth Corporate War spread, it was a blessing in disguise that it avoided the impact of the virus, making Bolivia the only country in Latin America that was not affected by the virus.

In addition, since Captain Cuvatro himself came to power through a coup, in order to prevent others from following suit, he not only maintained the rule of the military government, but also maintained a standing army.

This standing army is naturally incomparable to the security forces of established giants.

But using it to punch a nursing home in Peru or kick a kindergarten in Chile is nothing to worry about.

If Bolivia had an outlet to the sea, it would not take much effort to travel from Bolivia to the new United States where military technology is located.

Seeing this, Arasaka and Military Technology risked their lives to send money to Bolivia.

Arasaka wants Bolivia to poke military technology in the butt. As for military technology, it does not ask Bolivia to be on its side, but as long as it can keep Bolivia neutral, it will be considered a success.

Therefore, the two giant companies serving Bolivia, a poor and backward country, became the most absurd scene in the fourth corporate war.

No one can calculate how much economic assistance Arasaka and Military Technology have provided to Bolivia.

But what is certain is that the Bolivian citizens have not benefited at all.
