from night city

……

Su Xiao saw Arasaka Yorinobu's anxiety, and he said with a smile.

"Mr. Yori Nobu, if you are happy enough, let me get straight to the point. You provide financial aid to my country, and I will help you integrate Arasaka's power.

how is it? "

Arasaka Yorinobu asked doubtfully: "Your country?"

"It's really rude. I haven't introduced myself yet. In addition to being the president of Dawn Military Company, I, Su Xiao, will also follow the public opinion and ascend to the throne of the President of Bolivia in the near future."

"You actually stole a country?"

Arasaka Yorinobu couldn't help but show a shocked expression on his face.

Of course Arasaka Yorinobu knew that Dawn Military Company was developing in Bolivia.

But Arasaka Yorinobu took it for granted that it was to take Bolivia's natural resources for himself.

Just like United Fruit.

But now listening to what Su Xiao said, it seems that Dawn Military Company is interested in not only Bolivia's natural resources, but the entire country.

Su Xiao immediately corrected with a serious expression: "How can this be called theft? Can the company's affairs be considered theft?"

Arasaka Yorinobu was noncommittal.

"Financial assistance, right? You can put this aside for now, but you just said you could help me integrate Arasaka's other forces. Are you kidding me?"

"I never joke when I'm talking about business."

Lidya Su did not have any playful expression.

Arasaka Yorinobu thought for a while and said, "Then what can you do?"

"Isn't this simple?" Su Xiao smiled, "As long as you kill all your enemies, then who has the final say in Arasaka? Does this need to be said?"

"That's it?"

Arasaka Yorinobu originally thought that Su Xiao could say something wise.

The result is this?

Isn’t this proposal exactly the same as my own idea?

Lidya Su was not angry either.

"High-end business wars often only require the simplest means. You think business wars involve hackers, spies, and stock manipulation, but in reality, business wars involve scratching your car seat, climbing over walls to take secret photos, and hitting people with hammers."

Su Xiao spread her hands: "Look, it's so simple and unpretentious."

"We are not politicians who hide their knives in their smiles. We are entrepreneurs. We entrepreneurs should do what entrepreneurs should do. As long as you physically get rid of all the people who oppose you, who can still oppose you? ?”

"I don't know much about Arasaka Company, but I know that the crux of the so-called factions and clans lies in the leader. Once the leader dies, the faction will immediately disband."

"Stick to the end? That doesn't exist. It's all about money when you go to work. Who would go to work for their dreams? What a joke, how many people don't even have their own dreams?"

In fact, it's just that simple.

It’s not Su Xiao’s own YY.

But during the Fourth Corporate War, this was how Arasaka and Military Technology fought.

During that time, the middle-level leaders of both sides were in high-risk occupations and were assassinated by the opposite party at every turn.

Even the highest levels of both parties have faced assassination.

More than once.

Arasaka Yorinobu's older brother, Arasaka Kei, died in the Fourth Company War.

The reason why Arasaka Yorinobu didn't do this was not because he didn't think that he could do it, but because he didn't have the ability.

Arasaka has a total of 50 employees worldwide, but most of them are clerks, and the number of armed personnel is less than one-third.

As for Arasaka's most elite executioner unit "Troy", which is specifically designed to target traitors, their number is even smaller.

Originally, "Troy" was the most suitable for assassination.

But the problem is that "Troy" only obeys the orders of the Arasaka family patriarch, and they don't follow orders blindly.

After all, it has been so many years, and old Japan has long since perished. How can there be any bushido spirit of serving the country for seven lives now?

"Troy" will carry out the order requested by Arasaka Yorinobu to hunt down Goro Takemura.

That's because no matter how good Takemura Goro is, he is only a senior guard captain at most.

Just kill, it's no big deal.

But if Arasaka Yorinobu wants "Troy" to get rid of his sister and niece, then "Troy" will never agree.

They will not take sides.

If you stand on the right side, it's okay, but if you stand on the wrong side, the game will be over.

The captain of "Troy" is not stupid, how could they easily give up and take sides?

Wouldn't it be nice to just sit back and watch, and then just obey the orders of the new head of the family who came out to fight?

As for whether they will be liquidated in the future, the captain of "Troy" doesn't think so, because no matter who is the new head of the family, they will be useful.

Liquidating them is no different than cutting off one's own arm. No one would be so stupid.

Chapter 3: As long as Arasaka can be saved, I will give you as much as you want (4K)

Arasaka Yorinobu cannot command "Troy", and the security forces cannot be mobilized.

Arasaka companies spread all over the world, although they have more than 50 employees.

But with so many employees, most of them are civilians.

After all, the security industry is only one of the three pillars of Arasaka Company. It is not only the security industry that can continuously provide Arasaka with wealth, but also the banking and manufacturing industries.

In fact, the contribution of the latter two is much greater than that of the security industry.

The security force of less than 20 may seem like a lot, but more than half of it here provides security services to the rich and powerful around the world.

Arasaka Company itself can really mobilize only tens of thousands of people at any time.

The actual strength of Night City Arasaka's security forces is less than 3.

With just these people, Arasaka Yorinobu still had to guard against military technology, and he couldn't spare too many people to deal with his sister and niece.

Moreover, using the security forces as assassins, Arasaka Yorinobu is not so lucid.

If Hanako Arasaka and Michiko Arasaka were in Night City right now, Yorinobu Arasaka might give it a try.

But the problem is that both of them are in Japan now, and they must be strictly protected by their respective subordinates.

If Arasaka Yorinobu sends his men to Japan to assassinate Hanako Arasaka and Michiko Arasaka, the risk of doing so would be too high, and the possibility of exposure would be too high.

Once leaked, Arasaka Yorinobu will undoubtedly become the target of public criticism. Not only will he not be able to stay in Arasaka anymore, military technology will also be very happy to get rid of this guy who always creates trouble for them.

This is why Arasaka Yorinobu also feels that physically eliminating opponents is the right approach, but he has never done so.

But now, Su Xiao proposed that there was no need for Arasaka Yorinobu to do it himself, he could help Arasaka Yorinobu solve his troubles.

"I'm not doubting you, it's just that the opponents you have to face are different from those militiamen in Latin America."

Arasaka Yorinobu knew that Su Xiao’s company had won many battles in Bolivia.

But he knew better what kind of person Su Xiao's previous opponents were.

Be it government troops or rebels.

That's what happened.

Holding a gun and making a protruding sound may seem quite intimidating, but in fact, in the eyes of professionals, it is completely unqualified.

Of course, the mercenaries of the Shining Group still have two skills.

However, without an entrepreneurial spirit, and not as mercenaries fighting for the country, it is okay to fight against the wind, but not against the wind.

After all, they are mercenaries, so there is no shame in taking money to do things.

Evasion is shameful but useful.

But the company's security force is different.

Because the company takes good care of its employees' families, soldiers in the security forces will basically fight to the end and die for the company.

Someone may have something to say here:

That's not right. Doesn't the company use its employees as pawns and throw them away after using them?

Yes, but also no.

I say "yes" because the company does not take good care of every employee's family. When the company weighs the pros and cons and feels that taking care of the employees' families is a bad deal, the company will not do it.

I say "no" because sometimes the company still needs to establish some glorious images and create a few positive examples to motivate employees: Look!Although the company does not behave as a human being most of the time, there are still times when the company behaves as a human being. You can go with peace of mind, the company will take care of your wife and daughter.

Besides, sometimes it’s not really necessary to do something practical.

As long as the company increases its publicity and makes employees feel that "the company will take care of their families," that will be enough.

It's like a lie. If one person tells it and doesn't believe it, if more people tell it and the time goes by, someone will believe it.

In addition to loyalty, the security forces have received strict military training, and their prosthetics and weapons and equipment are not comparable to those in Latin America.

This makes Arasaka Yorinobu have to worry.

Although he has information about the location of his sister and niece, this information can only be used once at most.

If the assassination fails, his sister and niece will realize that he has planted nails beside them.

At that time, not only may the nails be pulled out, but the number of guards around them will also be increased several times.

If you try to find an opportunity to assassinate him again in the future, the difficulty will undoubtedly increase countless times.

"I know what you are worried about, but I have to say that your worries are unnecessary. My people are not just for free. As long as you give me real information, I can put the heads of your sister and niece on your head." in front of me.”

"You should pay attention to your tone, Mr. Su, you are talking about my sister and niece."

"That's right, but aren't you the one who killed them, Mr. Lai Xuan?" Although he was facing one of the most powerful people in the world, Su Xiao didn't mean it tactfully, "Let's just say, Mr. Yori Xuan, do you want to achieve your goal without bloodshed? We are all adults, so stop having such unrealistic delusions."

Being pointed out so bluntly, Arasaka Yorinobu was a little unhappy, but after all, he was a person who did important things, so he quickly suppressed this emotion.

"If you can really succeed in the assassination, I can give you as much financial assistance as you want."
