Chapter 78: Thighs

Tonight's trip is the final part of the deal with Contau, which is to hand over James Norris's prosthetic body.

In the car, Cheson asked curiously, "Dude, why do you have a bag on your head?" Injured? ”

Lille calmly and calmly: "It's okay, I hit it myself - tell me about the situation over there." ”

"I don't know who is responsible for the contact over there, but the level is not low, you know, Oriental companies don't like to show up in this kind of thing."

"Not low? How high do you estimate. ”

"It is said that... It's equivalent to the deputy head of the operations department of Arasaka in Night City.,Anyway, it's pretty powerful.。 ”

Cheson took out a pack of cigarettes from his bag, but none of the three smoked it.

"It's good not to smoke... Healthy. Cheson put his things away and continued, "That's right, although Kang Tao doesn't want to involve these things, but the wind has suddenly changed recently.

They have revealed some opinions, and they want to support a middleman in Night City - but they have to be strong, and they must have a great brother like you. ”

This was said comfortably, and Jack and V looked satisfied.

Lille just glanced at the two second-handers, and then said, "You want to be this middleman?" ”

"Uh... It's good to be able to hug this thigh, but it doesn't depend on your opinion. ”

"No." Lille shook his head.

Chesson's expression stiffened, but he quickly adjusted: "Okay..."

Lille added: "You have given too little information, you mean that you are going to give up the arms business to work as a middleman?" Do you think I'm like a fool? ”

Cheson smiled awkwardly and immediately said frankly, "Uh... Well, it's my question, but it's not for me, I'm just helping to probe your mouth.

It's a brother of mine, who works as a middleman in Santo Domingo, who retired from the company like me, and this guy retired so hard that he wanted to do it himself.

But... You know, the most powerful piece of Santo Domingo is Faraday, a guy who is very close to the company, eats people and doesn't spit out bones.

As for my brother, he lacks this kind of background support, so I help him pull some relationships. ”

"After talking for a long time, what is your brother's name?"

"Mu'ael Reyes (Note 1), he would have liked to talk to you in person in the next life, but you are not... Shelter from the limelight. ”

Hearing the name, Lille touched his chin.

It's this good brother -- it's not my son... Righteous son.

"Your brother, is it still in the business of buying and selling second-hand cars?"

What Lille calls "buying and selling used cars" is actually hiring mercenaries to steal cars, steal them back and have them tinkered with by a mechanic and then resell them.

A small number of cars were bought for him by serious owners.

In the game "Cyberpunk 2077", he has become the biggest middleman in Santo Domingo, but at this time he is still a Faraday.

This Faraday's favorite thing to do is to hold the company's stinky feet, and in order to hug the company's thighs, he will even sell his own mercenaries.

He is the kind of intermediary that Lille calls without a sense of proportion.

Clever middlemen will first avoid the brains of this dog who is willing to be a company, because sooner or later they will be planted.

Cheson nodded: "Yes, but this business has just started, and it has all spread to Heywood?" ”

"That's not it, I'm well-informed--your brother is quite clever, but forget about meeting him, leave me a call."

Cheson just had some pity that he couldn't pull his brother along.

But he didn't react much, he pulled it if he could, and if he couldn't, forget it.

Lille didn't really express his opinion - after all, the biggest intermediary was Faraday.

"Okay, I'll give you his number."

The car drove through the crowded and wet streets of Night City all the way to the exit of the Hanford Viaduct.

The agreed meeting place was next to a restaurant called Fat Chicken Wings, which was not empty, and if there were, most of them were homeless, and the number of cameras was significantly lower than in other urban areas.

All in all, it's remote and safe as a temporary meeting place.

It's a typical American restaurant that sells all fast food.

However, the Lille people did not come for a quick meal, and reversed the meeting place, and a low-key Thracian Jefferson stopped at the meeting place.

As the meeting approached, the speed slowed down.

Lille said to Chesson: "Do you have an ammunition factory?" Manual ones are also fine. ”

Cheson didn't know what Lille was trying to ask, but he did have such a line.

"Uh... I can tell you, don't sell me, I do have an ammunition production line, artificial, you know. ”

Manual, that is, let workers insert behavioral chips for manual production, and wait until the end of work to collect the chips.

Black workshops, and mostly illegal.

"Do you think you can produce smart munitions?"

Cheson was stunned for a moment, then asked uncertainly, "You mean..."

"I want to ask Kang Tao for a smart weapon and ammunition, the legal kind - when the middleman is interviewed, this kind of thing is what they think is beneficial.

I'll talk to them, you come and do this, and we'll get seventy-three points, and I'll take three if you take seven. ”

Cheson ecstasy!

Smart ammunition is awesome.

Not many street kids can afford it, but it's expensive! And it's all geared towards the guys who are a little bit richer.

Cyber hackers, company executives who have money but don't have time to practice marksmanship, lone wolves who have saved a little money...

And when they use this thing, they pull the trigger to death, that's called a quick one!

"Uh..."

Chessen organizes the language - of course he wants such a production line!

And this is not done secretly, it is still from Kang Tao!

But if Lille is only in charge of negotiating it, three is a bit too much - it's really not Chessen's greed.

You know, the effort and cost of operating a black workshop is not low, not to mention that even if Kang Tao agrees, the profits will definitely have to be shared with them-

It's a small amount of money compared to Kangtao's annual income, but if they don't pay attention to small money, they won't become a super enterprise.

Lille saw through this kid's thoughts at a glance, and said impatiently: "Then eighty-two, you eight and I two, a fixed price, if not, I will ask Kang Tao for money to settle it at one time." ”

"Okay, okay, you're the master, don't be angry..."

The car stopped, and there were two bodyguards in black standing next to the other party's car.

Lille stepped out of the car, V carrying the bag containing James Norris Anwestein, and Jack followed the two like a mountain.

"It's a beautiful job."

As soon as the other party opened his mouth, it was a dialect of a place in the East, and Lille actually didn't understand it, after all, he spoke Mandarin.

But it doesn't matter, he already has a translation implant.

As a common language within Kangtao, the translation implant will of course also translate this dialect.

"Everything is here, but when it comes to honorarium, we want to do it differently – we can have a long-term partnership."

The person who spoke in the car never got out of the car, but sat in the car.

Hearing this, he raised his eyebrows: "If it were an ordinary person who said such a thing, I would reply to him: I don't think I can do it."

But you've done a good job, and I can hear what you have to say – but don't go too far. ”

"You see, in Santo Domingo, in Night City, people like to shoot guns, and you may not like the business of bullet production, but it's just right to hand it over to locals like us.

I think we can open an ammunition factory in Santo Domingue -- the kind of small workshop, with me under my cover, this factory will be very stable. ”

The people in the car were a little surprised.

He had expected Lille to take advantage of the situation to be an intermediary - after all, in his opinion, Lille already had the potential and conditions to be an intermediary.

Capable mercenaries, good hackers, and stable technical experts are the best configuration for a mercenary squad, and a necessary configuration for a middleman to start taking over the work.

"It's not a mercenary's job."

"I know, so we've got to have a professional between us -- this guy."

Lille stabbed Cheson.

At this moment, this guy looks a lot more professional, and he suddenly puts away the gangster atmosphere of the streets.

Coupled with the fact that he was wearing professional tactical clothing, it suddenly made people think that he was a salesperson from the company.

The person sitting in the car was silent for a moment, and then said with interest: "Is it indeed a professional, who used to work in sales at Dala Institute of Technology?" Then I didn't do it. ”

"Layoffs, I can't wait to be laid off, right? Just come out and do it yourself. ”

Lille wasn't surprised that Cheson had worked at the company.

He was surprised that the guy had actually worked in the Indian's company - he had always thought that Cheson was retired from military technology.

After saying that, the people in the car fell silent again.

Lille continued: "I know you want someone who can do your job for a long time, but the company doesn't work on the streets--

If I want to be a company dog, I'm going to take your entry test, and I don't do it.

But if that had to do it, maybe I'd find someone to help you keep an eye on your competitors - if you want to advertise a new weapon or something, I can help you with that.

If not, you can pay more money, and we will settle it all at once. ”

If it was before, Kangtao didn't need a mercenary like Lille to help them advertise.

After all, their most powerful individual weapon spokesperson is Adam Hammer, or is it a paid endorsement.

But now -- it's not about developing a better Sianweistein.

“... Deal, I hope you don't disappoint us, it will be difficult to end - the running data reward of the Qiantai 5 type is also in it, what about the thing? ”

Lille waved his hand at V, who pulled out a large black bag, and he didn't know that it was garbage.

Lille took the bag and handed it to the bodyguard standing outside the car.

After verifying that it was correct, the bodyguard put the items in the prepared box.

The man in the car suddenly said:

"So, let's move on to the second thing --

The gun you used to fight looks like a prototype weapon that was lost within our company. ”
