Chapter 517: A New Guest
Guides...
Scold.
What is it.
Xu Wanxue's eyes narrowed slightly, the corners of her mouth hooked a graceful arc, and she looked at Knight with a little frivolity, and said faintly:
"Although you hold my younger brother so high, he does have some ability to serve as this guide, but if you think so, don't you treat Lin Mo as a tool?"
"The so-called guide is a good word, but who has been able to bear this name since ancient times has not worked hard? I'm not going to let him do such a thankless job! ”
No matter how loud the title and name are, if there is no substantial benefit to match it, then no amount of reputation is just a void.
Xu Wanxue will not be fooled by the "guide" in Knight's mouth.
No matter how awesome the other party bragged, as long as Lin Mo suffered a loss, then she Xu Wanxue would be the first not to agree!
After all, judging from what she knew so far, these collaborations and plans were obviously beneficial to Ye's company.
Although Kangtao Company can also get a piece of the pie, Lin Mo, as one of the executors, doesn't seem to get even a substantial reward, and he is a tool man who works for nothing.
How can this work, my younger brother can't be fooled by these vain titles!
The blue light in Knight's eyes flickered slightly, and he instantly realized Xu Wanxue's thoughts, and then his expression showed a little helplessness.
"Ms. Xu, I can understand your concern for Lin Mo, you are worried that he will suffer in the process of cooperation, right, but in fact, this plan itself was conceived by Lin Mo... Even I myself only play the role of a staff officer. ”
And what's going on? Xu Wanxue frowned.
This kid is unlikely to let herself suffer, she hasn't instilled values like "everyone for me, I for everyone" to Lin Mo since she was a child.
She looked at Lin Mo silently, and only after half a sound did she hold back a sentence from her mouth:
"You idiot, is it any good for you to do these things, and pull the Kangtao company into the water?"
Lin Mo looked helpless, waved his hand and motioned Xu Wanxue not to ask more, and said in a slightly impatient tone:
"It's okay, it's okay, sister, don't worry, it's impossible for me to suffer, and in the whole process of implementing the plan, I'm not one of the workers, and the people who really work are other people."
"I'm afraid that you won't be cheated if you don't have enough experience... Forget it, you're pretty shrewd to look at, so I won't worry about it. Xu Wanxue sighed and asked another question instead:
"And who are the people you say are actually working?"
The people who really do the work are undoubtedly the ones who go to the security forces of the hard steel company building with weapons.
Being able to fight against the security forces of an entire company building, at present, apart from her younger brother Lin Mo still has such strength, she really can't think of anyone else who can have this kind of strength.
"Friends I used to know, didn't I have a barbecue party at home in the past? The friends who attended the party were not only good-spoken, but also talented, and they would never let me down. Lin Mo said confidently.
"Those guys?" Xu Wanxue subconsciously frowned, quite distrustful.
Are they sure it works?
Since she was a child, her working environment and the perspective of her class were different, which made it difficult for her to look down on those marginalized people who roamed the streets, even if the other party was Lin Mo's friend.
Even the three girls who stayed at home, Lucy, Sasha and Rebecca, were asked by her to "ban working on marginalized people in the future".
Instead of fighting and killing outside and earning so much money, it is better to stay at home or learn in the company to improve your hacking skills and combat skills, which is better than showing your face outside.
Even if Lin Mo hadn't accidentally said that his dream was to be a marginal person when he was a child, and Xu Wanxue was rewarded with his favorite big mouth on the spot, maybe Xu Wanxue might not know what the word "marginal person" meant.
"Sister, you can put a hundred hearts, they are absolutely fine." Lin Mo patted his chest, but his tone was very helpless.
"Okay, then that's it, let's move on to the next topic." Xu Wanxue continued to look at Knight:
"Mr. Knight, your company should have a connection with the Night City officials, so what I want to ask is, whether this plan is successful or not, how should the Night City officials deal with the counterattacks and retaliations of those giant companies?"
Night City can become a shining pearl on the west coast of the Americas, which is naturally inseparable from its excellent geographical location and "free" to explosive business environment.
Moreover, Night City officials are clearly biased towards corporations, and the current mayor can even give taxes to several large companies in order to gain the support of the corporations.
How can such a person think from the perspective of the people?
I'm afraid that the retaliation of the giant company has not yet begun, and the mayor has already taken the lead in surrendering.
"Please rest assured that the election for the next mayor is about to begin, and we will take action in advance to remove the obstacle of the current mayor, Lucius Lane, and replace it with a mayor candidate that we are all satisfied with." Knight said with a smile.
"Jefferson Perares?" Lin Mo suddenly proposed a person's name.
Knight glanced at Lin Mo in surprise, then nodded and said:
"Yes, the next mayor is him, a qualified candidate personally cultivated by our Yeshi company, Mr. Jefferson is more close to the people and sympathetic to the public than Mayor Lane's strong and sleek temperament, and it is time to replace him at this stage."
Sure enough, it was him... Lin Mo smiled slightly.
- Jefferson Perares, an important NPC in the game, is also the character who will become the next mayor in the game's plot, and has a more thoughtful side quest.
Because he is a puppet specially cultivated by the Yeshi Company, the "brain memory tampering" technology owned by the Yeshi Company is also reflected in him.
Regardless of whether the player intervenes or not, he will become the mayor of Night City, and will most likely not escape the mercy of the Night Clan Corporation in the future.
To Lin Mo's surprise, the side quests and related plots that once made countless players think about it in the game now seem to be no longer important...... After all, even the Yeshi Company, which appeared behind the mission, has become his current partner.
But then again, Jefferson does fit for the next mayor.
At the time of the Unification War between New America and the United States, Night City was in turmoil, and it was indeed the right choice to choose Mayor Lane, who was tough and slick in his attitude.
It was because of Ryan that Night City was able to maintain its international independence after the end of the war.
Now, seven years after the war, it's time for Night City to usher in a new phase of development.
"As long as Jefferson can succeed in becoming the mayor, the officials of Night City will be the people of the Night Company, after all, this is the Americas, and it is impossible for those giant companies to send troops to retaliate, as for the remaining other means of pressure, there is no need to worry." Lin Mo said calmly.
Xu Wanxue lowered her head and thought about it, and found that what Lin Mo said was indeed reasonable.
As long as those corporations don't have the means to deploy a large army and use the most brutal means of force, Night City is not afraid of any means of pressure.
The city is the most independent city in the world, completely outside the jurisdiction of Xinmei, and the level of infrastructure construction and development of the city itself is the highest level in the world today.
Richard Knight, the founder of Night City in the past, may have this idea, relying on its excellent geographical location and generous policies to attract foreign investment and construction.
Wait until the city is built, and then start planning a "utopian" picture of the future.
As for now, Night City has long been "over-urbanized", forming a unique urban ecology, completely self-sufficient, and no longer dependent on the control of any company.
The only problem that once puzzled Knight was how to get rid of the cancer giants entrenched in Night City.
This is the first step, the most important step, and the most difficult step.
And now with Lin Mo, his appearance just provides Knight with a way to take this step.
"No wonder you choose marginal people to be workers... You want to wait until the plan is successful, and then characterize this incident as a riot, so that you can find a reason to explain it to the outside world. Xu Wanxue's eyes drooped.
As long as the plan goes well, then the Yeshi company can be completely immune to the production materials and precious data left by those giant companies.
And the Kangtao company can also become the leader of the "small company alliance" in the future.
It's a win-win.
Not only that, since Night City is so "simple and simple", the giant companies that want to send people to investigate the truth and fight back against revenge in the future have to weigh whether they will "lose their wives and soldiers".
Nai nodded and smiled: "The reason is just an excuse to cover up the lie, as for the distribution of benefits after the fact, Kangtao Company does not have to worry, we will hand over some of the data and means of production to you, and we will jointly plan the future development of the city." ”
"I hope so." Xu Wanxue nodded noncommittally, and there were not many emotional fluctuations on her face.
At this moment, there was a sudden knock on the door of the suite.
"Please come in."
The wooden door was slowly pushed open, and a female assistant with a good face walked in, bowed slightly and said softly: "Mr. Xu, someone in the hall asked to see him, saying that he was a friend of Mr. Lin, and they all had the internal invitation code of Kangtao Company. ”
Xu Wanxue raised her eyebrows and looked at Lin Mo beside her suspiciously:
"It's your man again...... You're not using my office floor as a place to eat, are you? ”
"Look at what you said, sister, I'm not so boring." Lin Mo didn't want to say anything more, turned his head to look at the assistant and said:
"Since you said them, there must be several people... Well, let's call in a guy named Thor first, and the rest will be entertained outside. ”
The assistant looked at Xu Wanxue.
"Do as he says." Xu Wanxue didn't want to lose Lin Mo's face in front of her subordinates.
Soon, a man with a somewhat dull yellow face and a square beard around his mouth walked in, his demeanor was slightly restrained, and he was wearing a brand new suit for a formal meeting, as if he had just bought it.
As soon as the man entered, his eyes were fixed on the three people at the table, and finally stared directly at the boy among them:
"Lin Mo?!"
