Start in Night City

Not just in Night City, but all over the world, small companies are like that.

Even if you survive, you can only linger and breathe.

With the current structure of the world, it is simply impossible for small companies to develop.

But Meredith didn't expect that Lidya Su would contact her.

After hesitating and tangled, she finally answered the phone. She wanted to hear what Lidya Su wanted to do with her.

Su Xiao said directly: "I want to buy 50 "Demon Lizard" tanks and 20 "Manticore" heavy armed flying vehicles. "

Meredith frowned: "Do you have that much money?"

"Make a price."

"The price of a "Magic Lizard" tank is 8.5 million euros, and the price of a "Manticore" is 10 million euros. The total of the things you want is 625 million euros. You can afford it. So much money? "

"Isn't it just 625 million? Yes, but I don't trust electronic bank transfers for such a large amount of money. You tell me a time, and we will find a place to meet at that time, and I will give you the money in person."

Chapter 313 Return to Night City (3K)

Meredith was surprised that Su Xiao spent a lot of money.

Did this guy win the lottery?

Why are you so happy?

A big deal worth hundreds of millions without blinking an eye?

However, the weapons manufacturing industry is also an important pillar of military technology.

If someone buys it, military technology will certainly not fail to be sold.

As long as it's not sold to Arasaka, the old enemy of military technology.

Moreover, the "Magic Lizard" and "Manticore" are old models from decades ago. You don't need to worry about funding the enemy when selling military technology.

Meredith thought for a moment. Anyway, according to the rules, when doing business, you always have to pay the money and deliver the goods.

As long as Lidya Su can get that much money, she can transfer goods to Lidya Su from the warehouse.

There is no need to play black and white. The order of several hundred million is not small, but it is not too much either.

And big companies are more trustworthy (for wealthy customers).

"Okay, as long as you can afford this much money, I can get you all the things you want."

"Then I'll contact you when the time comes."

After hanging up the phone, Lidya Su called Rogge again.

After some exchanges of greetings, Su Xiaotu came to see him and revealed his purpose.

"Roger, lend me 625 million."

Rogge, who was in the exclusive private room in the next life, couldn't help but his eyelids twitched a few times.

"You know you are talking about more than 600 million euros, not Zimbabwean dollars, right?"

"certainly."

If it had been anyone else, Rogge would have hung up the phone and blocked him.

But she knew Lidya Su, and she also knew that Lidya Su would never joke casually.

Especially on this kind of thing.

Therefore, Rogge continued patiently.

"Then you should know that this is a huge sum of money. Even if I spend so much money, it will be like breaking my bones."

"Su, our friendship is very good, but if you don't give me a reason, I can't lend you so much money."

Su Xiao replied on the phone: "You lend me 625 million, no more than five years, and I will pay you back 700 million."

The two gold mines designated by the president to Dawn Military Company are both medium-sized gold mines.

Generally speaking, the annual profits of medium-sized gold mines generally range from tens to hundreds of millions.

Assuming a conservative estimate, let’s say it’s tens of millions.

The combined profits of these two gold mines are nearly 200 million.

Moreover, this does not take into account the profits of the copper mine.

five years,

Enough to earn 700 million and return it to Rogge.

…

The next day, Su Xiao borrowed a military transport plane from the president, loaded the VR training equipment onto the transport plane, and returned to Stoneridge Mountain with V and Lucy.

After returning to Stone Ridge Mountain, Su Xiao gathered everyone together.

Tell them about the contract signed by Su Xiao with the President of Bolivia and that the company will develop in Bolivia.

Others will naturally have no objections.

A long-term and stable contract means that Shuguang Military Company's income source is stable, and it has also obtained three minerals, so the company will definitely get better and better in the future.

The better the company develops, the better they themselves will get better and better.

Later, Su Xiao made a special trip to Adecado's camp to meet Saul.

He proposed straight to the point that the entire Sol family should join the Dawn Military Company.

Because the President of Bolivia promised Su Xiao three mineral deposits, and Shuguang Military Company had to help Bolivia train its army, so the number of manpower needed was indispensable. Just a few dozen people as before would not be enough. .

And Saul's family is not all of Adecado, but one of Adecado's families, but even so, there are still hundreds of people.

Even if these people are not all veterans like Mitch and Scorpion, they are also homeless people who have experienced fighting. Their combat effectiveness is a level higher than that of Bolivian government troops and rebels.

Sol agreed without hesitation.

The treatment offered by Su Xiao was very attractive, and he had no reason to disagree.

…

After Sol agreed, the entire Adecado began to get busy.

Since they were going to Bolivia, the established company base in Stone Ridge Mountain had to be abandoned.

However, giving up means giving up, but it does not mean letting the facilities here rot.

Su Xiao handed over Stone Ridge Mountain to Rogge as a mortgage.

It was regarded as a mortgage for Rogge to lend him so much money.

Moreover, Roger is also useful in this place.

She could turn this into a safe house.

For people in their profession, there can never be too many safe houses.

While Adecado was preparing to move, Su Xiao went to find a middleman with whom she had a good relationship and purchased a large amount of supplies such as parts, materials, food, and medical supplies for making weapons.

Because Bolivia is a landlocked country with no access to the sea.

After traveling to Bolivia again this time, there may be a long period of time when there is no way to return to Night City.

Therefore, all these materials must be prepared.

Soldiers and horses should move forward before food and grass are moved. This is a law that has been applied both at home and abroad in ancient and modern times.

Then, in addition to Adecado, Su Xiao also recruited Mann's team and several other well-known mercenary teams with good character.

Other mercenary teams are easy to say. They are mercenaries to begin with. If you have breasts, you will be a mother. What's more, Su Xiao gave them a long-term and stable employment contract. Not only was the salary high, but it was also stable. How could they have any objections.

Although the Mann team all had opinions about the company, Su Xiao was different after all and had helped them a lot, so he agreed.

…

Just when all the preparations were in full swing, Judy suddenly called Su Xiao.

This really surprised Lidya Su.

Su Xiao heard from people from the Mox Gang that since Evelin was hospitalized, Judy had even gone to the Lizzie Bar less and stayed at home to take care of Evelin.

If she didn't need money to live, Judy might even have quit her job at Ritz Bar.

"Hey, Judy, how are you doing? By the way, how's Evelyn doing?"

"Thanks to you, Xiao Ai has been discharged from the hospital, but..."

"only?"

"Those things in the past have hurt her a lot. Now she is like two people from before. She seems to have closed her heart, rarely speaks, and often sits for a whole day. sky."

This situation sounds serious.

It's like being autistic.

"Have you taken her to the doctor?"

Judy said in a tired voice.

"I have looked for it, and there are more than one. Some of them can't see what the problem is, and some think that there is no way to cure Evelin's current state, and they can only wait for her to recover on her own."

"So now I have put away all the sharp tools in the house and installed anti-theft nets on the windows to prevent her from committing suicide."

Lidya Su nodded.

Judy is doing the right thing.

Although he himself is also troubled by a lot of things.

But he asked anyway.

"Is there anything I can do to help?"

"Yes, but this matter... I'm not sure whether I should drag you into this."

"If you have anything to say, just tell me."

"If you have been to the Mox Gang's Lizzy Bar, you should also know that Lizzy Bar used to be opened by a person named Lizzy. The Tiger Claw Gang killed Lizzy, and the people of the Mox Gang united. , drove the Tiger Claw Gang out."

"Well, I know this."

In fact, what Judy said is a simple version.

Full version Su Xiao heard this from Susie, the leader of the Mox Gang, before.

"Then Genting should come to such a big event

Transformation. "

"The Mox Gang decided to march into Genting?"

Judy on the video call shook her head.

"No, this has nothing to do with the Mox Gang. It was my idea. Maybe you don't know, Sue."

"Those sex dolls who work at Genting work hard for Genting. Most of the money has to be handed over to Genting, and the rest that belongs to them must be handed over and replaced with more advanced and higher version chips, otherwise they will Eliminated by Genting.”

"So after so many years, Xiao Ai can't save much money."

Judy's eyes flashed with anger.

"Genting has absorbed so much money from these sex dolls, but they haven't even done the most basic network protection. What's the use of them?"

Lidya Su can understand Judy’s anger.

In fact, the last time they went to Genting to find Evelin, Lucy had already seen that Genting's network protection was poor.

It’s hard to imagine that this level of network protection is actually a famous entertainment center in the city.

The reason why the Voodoo Gang's hackers were able to burn out Evelin's electronic brain was because the receiving layer of the chip and implant provided by Yunding to the sex partner was integrated with Yunding's subnet.

Therefore, when the hackers of the Voodoo Gang bypassed Yunding's subnet, they could easily destroy Evelin's electronic brain.

If you want to avoid this situation from happening, it is actually very simple. You only need a piece of software to isolate the partner's chip and the receiving layer of the implant into a subnet.

In this way, even if a situation like Evelin happens next time, as long as you try to modify the core operation, the software will record and block it.

The name of this software is "Wisdom Eyes", which is almost equivalent to the anti-virus software Kaspersky at the turn of the millennium.

As long as this thing is installed, it is absolutely impossible for a situation like Evelin to happen again.
