Xu Wanxue narrowed her eyes slightly, raised the corners of her mouth in a graceful arc, looked at Knight with a slightly frivolous manner, and said quietly:
"Although you praise my younger brother so highly, he does have some ability to serve as a guide, but if you think so, don't you regard Lin Mo as a tool man?"
"The so-called guide sounds nice, but who can live up to this title since ancient times? I will not let him do such a thankless job!"
No matter how resounding the title or name is, if there are no substantial benefits to match it, then no matter how much reputation you have, it will be just empty.
Xu Wanxue will not be fooled by Knight's "guide".
No matter how awesome the other party is, as long as Lin Mo suffers a loss, she, Xu Wanxue, will be the first to refuse!
After all, judging from what she knows so far, these cooperation and plans are obviously beneficial to Ye's company.
Although Kangtao Company can also get a share of the pie, Lin Mo, as one of the executors, seems not to receive any substantial rewards. He is just a tool man working for free.
How can this be done? My younger brother cannot be fooled by these vain names!
The blue light in Knight's eyes flickered for a few times, and he instantly realized Xu Wanxue's thoughts, and soon his expression showed a bit of helplessness.
"Ms. Xu, I can understand your concern for Lin Mo. You are worried that he will suffer during the cooperation, right? But in fact, this plan itself was thought up by Lin Mo... Even I
I am only acting as a consultant."
Is there such a thing? Xu Wanxue frowned.
It is unlikely that this kid will let herself suffer. She has never instilled values such as "everyone for one, one for everyone" into Lin Mo since she was a child.
She looked at Lin Mo silently, and then she held back a sentence for a while:
"You idiot, is there any benefit to you from doing these things, and you are also dragging Kangtao Company into trouble?"
Lin Mo looked helpless, waved his hand to signal Xu Wanxue not to ask any more questions, and said in a somewhat impatient tone:
"It's okay, it's okay. Sister, don't worry. I won't suffer a loss. Besides, during the execution of the entire plan, I'm not a part-time worker. The real people doing the work are others."
"I'm afraid that you don't have enough experience and will be tricked...Forget it, you seem to be quite smart, so I won't worry about it." Xu Wanxue sighed and asked another question:
"Then who are the real workers you mentioned?"
The people who are really doing the work are undoubtedly the people who carry weapons and go to the security force of the Hard Steel Company building.
Being able to fight against the security forces of an entire company building, apart from her younger brother Lin Mo Shang, she really couldn't think of anyone else who could have such strength.
"They are all friends I met before. Didn't I hold a barbecue party at home in the past? Those friends who attended the party are not only nice to talk to, but they are all talented people. They will never let me down." Lin Mo
Her work environment since childhood was different from her class perspective, which made it difficult for her to look down on those marginalized people wandering the streets, even if they were friends of Lin Mo.
Even the three girls staying at home - Lucy, Sasha and Rebecca - were asked by her to "not engage in jobs related to marginalized people in the future."
Instead of going out to fight and kill and earn a little money, it is better to stay at home or study in the company to improve your hacking and combat skills. It is always better than showing off outside.
Even if Lin Mo hadn't accidentally said when he was a child that his dream was to be a marginalized person, and Xu Wanxue rewarded her with his favorite big mouth on the spot, Xu Wanxue might not have known what the word "marginal person" meant.
"Sister, just rest assured, they will definitely be fine." Lin Mo patted his chest, but his tone was very helpless.
"Okay, let's put this matter aside and let's move on to the next topic." Xu Wanxue continued to look at Knight:
"Mr. Knight, your company should be in contact with Night City officials. So what I want to ask is, no matter whether this plan is successful or not, how should Night City officials deal with the counterattack and retaliation of those giant companies?"
Night City can become a shining pearl on the west coast of America, which is naturally inseparable from its excellent geographical location and explosive "free" business environment.
Moreover, Night City officials are obviously biased in favor of companies. In order to gain the support of companies, the current mayor has even granted tax exemptions to several large companies.
How can such a person think about issues from the perspective of the people?
I am afraid that if it were not for the retaliatory actions of the giant companies, the mayor would have already surrendered before they even started.
"Ms. Xu, please rest assured that the election of the next mayor is about to begin. Our Ye's Company will take action in advance to remove the obstacle of the current mayor Lucius Lane and replace him with a mayor who satisfies us all.
Pick someone." Knight said with a smile.
"Jefferson Peralez?" Lin Mo suddenly suggested a name.
Knight glanced at Lin Mo in surprise, then nodded and said:
"Yes, he is the next mayor. He is a qualified candidate personally trained by our Ye Company. Compared with Mayor Lane's strong and smooth temperament, Mr. Jefferson is more close to the people and considerate of public opinion. At this stage, it is also the right candidate
Put him in."
Sure enough, it was him... Lin Mo smiled slightly.
——Jefferson Peralez, an important NPC in the game, is also a character who will become the next mayor in the game plot. He has a rather thoughtful and terrifying side mission.
Because he is a puppet specially trained by Ye's Company, the "brain memory tampering" technology owned by Ye's Company has also been reflected in him.
Regardless of whether the player intervenes or not, he will become the mayor of Night City, and there is a high probability that he will not be able to escape the mercy of Ye's company in the future.
What surprised Lin Mo was that the side missions and related plots that once made countless players ponder and fear in the game seemed to be no longer important... After all, even the mastermind Ye who appeared in the mission
companies have become his current partners.
But then again, Jefferson is indeed suitable to be the next mayor.
During the Unification War of New America, Night City was in turmoil. Choosing Mayor Lane, who was tough and diplomatic, was indeed the right decision.
It is precisely because of Lion's existence that Night City can still maintain its international independent status after the war.
Now that 7 years have passed since the war, it is time for Night City to usher in a new stage of development.
"As long as Jefferson can successfully become mayor, the officials of Night City will be people from Ye's Company. This is America after all. Those giant companies cannot go to war and send troops to retaliate. As for the remaining pressure methods,
It’s nothing to worry about.” Lin Mo said calmly.
Xu Wanxue lowered her head and thought, and found that what Lin Mo said was indeed reasonable.
As long as those companies are unable to dispatch large armies or use the most brutal force, Night City is not afraid of any means of pressure.
This city is the most independent city in the world and is not under the jurisdiction of Xinmei at all. The city's own facilities construction and development level are at the highest level in the world today.
Richard Knight, the founder of Night City in the past, may have had this idea, relying on its excellent geographical location and generous policies to attract foreign companies to invest in construction.
After the city is built, we can then start planning the future "utopia" picture.
As for now, Night City has long been "over-urbanized" and has formed a unique urban ecology that is completely self-sufficient and no longer relies on the control of any company.
The problem that once troubled Knight was how to get rid of the cancerous giant companies entrenched in Night City.
This is the first step, and it is also the most important step, and it is also 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 marginalized people as 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 lowered her eyes.
As long as the plan goes smoothly, Ye's Company can completely stand alone and collect the production materials and precious data left behind by those giant companies.
And Kangtao, which is sitting on the sidelines and watching the situation, can also become the leader of the "small company alliance" in the future.
It's a win-win situation.
Not only that, since Night City has such "simple folk customs", giant companies that want to send people over to investigate the truth and retaliate must also consider whether they will "lose their wives and lose their troops."
Knight nodded with a smile on his face: "The reason is just an excuse to cover up lies. As for the distribution of benefits after the event is completed, Kangtao Company does not have to worry. We will hand over some of the data and production materials to you.
It is up to both of us to plan the future development of this city."
"I hope so." Xu Wanxue nodded without comment, without much emotion on her face.
At this time, there was a sudden knock on the door of the suite.
"Please come in."
The wooden door was slowly pushed open, and a good-looking female assistant walked in. She leaned slightly and said softly: "Mr. Xu, there is someone in the hall asking to see you. They say they are Mr. Lin's friends. They all work at Kangtao Company."
Internal invitation code."
Xu Wanxue raised her eyebrows and looked at Lin Mo beside her with confusion:
"It's your person again...you must be treating my office floor as a place for dinner, right?"
"Look at what you said, sister, I'm not that bored yet." Lin Mo didn't want to say anything more, turned to look at the assistant and said:
"Since you mentioned them, there should be several of them... Well, let's call a man named Saul in 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 dark yellow face and a square beard walked in. His behavior was a little reserved, and he was wearing a brand new suit for formal meetings, which seemed to have been just bought.
As soon as the man came in, his eyes were fixed on the three people at the dining table, and finally he stared directly at the boy among them:
