The giant corporations that started in Night City

Recently, Little Chinatown has become a place of pilgrimage for many mercenaries in Night City. After all, it is only here that they have the weapons that make them famous.

The reputation the Triads gained through two gunfights also allowed them to get a lot of smuggling business from middlemen.

Of course, the focus that has attracted the most attention is Li Ang’s LA company!

Whether they are the rich and powerful from Westbrook District or the poor boys from Santo Domingo, they all have a strong interest in LA Company.

You know, companies that can gain a foothold in Night City have their own "unique skills."

Ye's Company, which built Night City, basically personally undertook the city's infrastructure projects, including bridges, tunnels, high-rise buildings, including huge GG screens and bright neon lights.

Arasaka Corporation, which has a century-old heritage, owns various industries such as banks, security, schools, weapons, and prosthetics. It can be said to be the most comprehensive giant company in Night City.

And biotechnology companies are even more related to the food and energy and fuel issues of the people in the city. Without them, the city would really not be able to survive.

Military technology has been trying to make inroads by relying on mercenary services and the quality of weapons, but unfortunately, there are now so many independent mercenaries in Night City that the competition is quite fierce.

There was no way around it. There were too many retired soldiers like Johnny Silverhand. On the contrary, the middlemen who were responsible for dispatching jobs were so prosperous that they made countless amounts of money.

The current military technology companies are not strong enough to integrate mercenary resources on the market. Currently, their only income relies on defense orders.

But with the end of the Central American war, New America is no longer able to launch a new round of invasion.

Military technology companies that cannot get orders will of course have no funds to expand themselves, so the development of the company is slow.

As for the international arms market, the situation of military technology is also very average. After all, it has many competitors, such as Constitution Military Industry, Dara Polytechnic, and High-tech Military Industry, which are also very good.

In addition, there is also the terrible Arasaka Company, which has also joined the competition in the weapons market!

On the surface, military technology ranks first in the arms trading market, but in fact, it is at risk of being replaced at any time.

In short, a company that wants to gain a foothold in Night City and build an exclusive corporate building in the Civic Center must have excellent skills.

And once the LA company rises, it has the momentum to sweep the Night City weapons market and make a shining debut!

This has also made countless people look forward to this company.

In product competition between giant capital companies, consumers will always benefit. After all, no one wants to use outdated gadgets every day. As long as they are new and good enough, there will be no worries about losing sales.

…

Watson District, NCPD Division.

Detective River, who had just returned from the Kabuki District, was called to the office by his boss, Mr. Lucius Lane, before he could take a breath.

Due to recent rumors that the Civic Center plans to reduce the budget of the NCPD Bureau, the police have been busy these days, arresting gangsters without background to improve the performance of their chiefs.

Although this does not have much effect, it can always leave a good impression on the people above. No matter how small a fly is, it is still meat. If you can reduce the funds, they can live better.

Immediately, River came to an empty and clean office hall, where he could see the fat district mayor, Mr. Lucius, thinking about something with a frown on his face.

Lucius Lane is a barrister from Ye's company and is currently one of the most promising candidates to take over as the new mayor. However, compared to his competitors, he still lacks some heavyweight political achievements.

If he can get through several unfinished large-scale projects in Watson District this time, then he will basically be the new mayor of Night City!

But this matter is not easy to handle.

"Mr. Lucius, are you looking for me?" River came and briefly reported the work situation to the district chief.

"Arasaka Company is urging us to deal with the gang chaos in Little Chinatown and Kabuki District as soon as possible. Otherwise, they will not invest in large-scale buildings here."

Lucius rubbed his swollen temples. He had stayed up for several nights to deal with these things. He was so tired that he was physically and mentally exhausted but still had no good solution.

"River, what do you think?"

Lucius looked at his favorite police chief. This man who was able to get along well in all branches of the NCPD in Night City was his right-hand man and would usually help with suggestions.

"This is not easy to handle, it's too difficult."

River shook his head, indicating that he was helpless.

Whether it is the Triads or the Tiger Claw Gang, they are both very difficult to deal with. With the limited manpower, weapons and equipment of the police station, there is no way to compete with these two gangs.

Recently, a so-called LA company has emerged, which has given the already powerful Triads even more power. I am afraid that the people from the Terrorist Mobile Team have come, and they have nothing to do with the Triads.

"Those bastards from Arasaka Company clearly knew that our police station was short of manpower and deliberately assigned the Tiger Claw Gang to wreak havoc. They were just waiting for me to beg my grandpa and grandma to take action from Arasaka's security forces!"

District Chief Lucius was so angry that he gritted his teeth.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the Tiger Claw Gang is the security department of Arasaka Company, deliberately setting up dangerous factors.

If there is no demand, create demand!

The Tiger Claws are responsible for underworld transactions, and Arasaka Security is responsible for solving problems. Money and reputation, good guys and bad guys are all handled by Arasaka.

I have to say, these little devils are really good at doing business!

But Lucius didn't dare to provoke these desperate people, otherwise they might shoot him when they blocked his way home from get off work one day.

"The seaside and industrial area are the only bargaining chips we can offer. If we sell them to Arasaka at such a low price, how can I explain to Night's Company?!"

Lucius was anxious. As a member of Night's Company, he couldn't watch Mr. Richard Knight's hard work being swallowed up by Arasaka bit by bit.

According to the legal terms, Night City is actually a private property of Night's Company. Although there are investments from other consortiums, most of the rights they get are land use rights.

For example, the company square in the municipal center, which is exclusively for Arasaka, Petrochemical, Biotechnology and other company buildings, are all high-standard treatments that only original investors can have.

But with the nuclear explosion, the new Night City is rising from the ground, and all the benefits will be redistributed.

Now the best place for Arasaka is to target is the coastal seaside of Watson District and the large industrial area!

The seaside area is one of the few coastal landing places in Night City. Whichever company can control this Feng Shui treasure land, whichever company's business will be prosperous.

This simple truth is clear to Lucius and Arasaka.
