"Of course it is true, but one difference is that my company is not in the city, but outside the city. It is still under construction and does not have many manpower."
After hearing Su Xiao's answer, River suddenly understood.
No wonder.
It turns out that it is still too small and has not been noticed by the giants.
And, River realized that he had made a mistake.
He only remembered that the original accumulation of Arasaka was bloody, but he forgot that the place they were in now was not Japan, but Night City.
If it were Japan, Arasaka would of course treat other Japanese companies vigorously and resolutely.
Because Japan is the base camp of Arasaka, it is absolutely impossible for Arasaka to allow a fire in his own backyard.
But the situation in Night City is different.
Night City is not just one Arasaka, but there are many companies including Militech, Kang Tao, Biotechnology, Militech Optics. Arasaka is not yet able to do what it did in Japan, with one company responding to all requests.
Moreover, Su Xiao's company is not built in the city, but outside the city.
Outside the city is not the scope of Night City, it is just a bad land filled with Nomads and Random Blade Society. Perhaps it is for this reason that those old companies feel that it is okay to leave it alone.
"You want to poach me?"
"Anyway, don't you have a job? How about you come to my place?"
Needless to say, River's character has not been as depraved or corrupt as most people after staying in the big dye vat of NCPD for so long.
This characteristic of getting rid of mud without getting stained is enough to make Su Xiao feel at ease.
Moreover, NCPD kicked him out because of the River's integrity, but Su Xiao was not worried that River's integrity would cause bad things.
Because their cause is just.
So, Su Xiao has nothing to worry about.
In addition, River's skills are not bad either.
After all, he is a police detective who often goes on missions. Although River once said that the police detective spends most of his time looking everywhere.
People ask questions, and the rest of the time is used to write reports.
But this does not mean that the gun worn by the police detective is a decoration.
You must know that the place where the police detective wants to ask questions is not a peaceful place, and not everyone is in awe of the police detective.
Therefore, having good skills is also a must.
River's skills are definitely among the best in NCPD.
Don't forget, when City Hall was there, he knocked down Cyberpsycho with three shots.
Although that may be the most embarrassing Cyberpsycho in history, Cyberpsycho is still Cyberpsycho after all.
Therefore, Su Xiao believes that River is definitely a worthy candidate, and developing him into the backbone of Dawn Society is definitely not a loss-making deal.
Rather, it would be a big mistake for the NCPD to give up this treasure on its own initiative.
River thought for a long time, but he didn't say anything, and Su Xiao didn't urge him. Finally, after a long while, River said with a smile.
"Okay, I can think about it, but how much can you give me? If it's less, I won't do it."
Chapter 279: The ministers are about to fight to the death, why does Your Majesty surrender first (4K)
"How about a daily salary of 1,000 euros and a monthly salary of 30,000 euros? I'm not treating you badly, am I?"
"So many?"
River was shocked.
When he was a police detective in the NCPD, his monthly salary was only 4,000 euros. This was the result of exhausting work, working overtime, and offending people everywhere.
If you change jobs and work in a company, you can earn nearly ten times more salary?
River couldn't help but click his tongue.
No wonder many of his colleagues chose to work as security guards for companies after quitting the NCPD.
Do you really have so much money to start a company?
Or is the other person just trying to make him happy?
"Can you really afford such a high salary?"
River Actually, what I want to ask more is "Where did you get so much money?"
But asking like this seems like inquiring into other people's privacy... No, it should be said that it is not privacy, but business secrets.
Shopping malls are like battlefields. Trade secrets are the most important information within a company and must never be shared with outsiders.
And asking like this can easily give others a bad impression.
That's why River changed the question to this relatively euphemistic way.
Although River asked tactfully, Su Xiao knew what he really wanted to ask.
In fact, it is normal for the River to have such concerns.
In the history of Night City, which is shorter than the founding of the United States, many legendary figures have emerged.
Johnny·Silverhand, Morgan Blackhand, Andrew Snake Wayland and more...
Some of them, because they have personally experienced the war, want rock music to awaken the people and call on everyone to rise up against the company;
Some people appear to be legendary lone wolves, but secretly maintain close contact and cooperation with Militech;
Some people tried to do something, but failed, leaving only a relic in the public cemetery and an epitaph engraved on the tombstone...
There is no doubt that they are all legends of Night City. Even the wine they loved to drink most during their lifetime will be renamed after them in the next life for those who come after them to look up to.
But even so, it's nothing more than that.
In the eyes of the company, everyone is just a swarm of ants.
And the so-called legends are just bigger ants.
It is precisely because history has proven that it is useless to become a legend and there is no way to change the world.
So their route is wrong.
Therefore, Su Xiao's policy is to defeat magic with magic and defeat companies with companies.
Moreover, Su Xiao knows that there are many Night City companies, and the cake and market have actually been divided up by those old giants.
There is no way for him to develop and grow in Night City, and he will be severely restricted.
That's why he built the company to Stone Ridge Mountain and developed it from outside, using the rural areas to encircle the cities.
Su Xiao smiled, "You don't have to worry about the salary issue. This is something I only need to consider. Just tell me whether you will come or not?"
River closed his eyes, and his mind fell into a battle between heaven and man.
If it were anyone else who offered such generous terms, he would be a liar one thousand percent.
But Su Xiao is different from others.
Although we have not cooperated with Su Xiao for a long time, we have left a very good impression on the River.
River As a police detective, in order to investigate a case, you have come into contact with all kinds of people.
It may be a bit metaphysical to say this, but River can smell it. Different people have different smells.
River did not smell the smell of "deception", "lie" and "crime" in Su Xiao.
Therefore, he decided to believe Su Xiao.
"Okay, I'll do it, but I have to wait until my nephew's matter is over. Sorry, Su, only when Randy is safe can I think about doing other things."
Su Xiao has no objection.
"Don't feel sorry for me, I can understand, and since you have decided to do it with me, let's solve this matter together."
"You are my employee. As a boss, it is my duty to protect my employees."
Su Xiao is very happy to have gained another key member.
In terms of combat, River may not be as good as
A professional mercenary, but his strength lies in investigation and criminal investigation. Maybe Su Xiao's company doesn't need such talents yet, but it doesn't matter.
When you are a boss, you need to have a plan to prepare for a rainy day.
"That Yavin, she looks like she has 'happy' written all over her face. She won't betray us, right?"
River shook his head. "We are friends after all, she shouldn't be able to."
Su Xiao complained, "Friends? What do I think of the way you get along? It's more like enemies?"
River burst into laughter upon hearing this.
"I used to be boyfriend and girlfriend with Yavin, but after we got together for a while, we felt that we were not suitable for each other, so we broke up."
"I have let go of that past incident, but Yavin can't let it go. From then on, he had a lot of opinions about me."
"I know I could have said it more beautifully when I was in the laboratory, but please forgive me, I was really anxious at the time. When I thought of Randy..."
Su Xiao sighed.
"Randy has a good uncle. If he can come home safely this time, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to ask him to kowtow to you."
River shook his head gently.
"That's not necessary. I just hope that Randy can change his mind and start from scratch. As long as he can learn well again, the past things will be in the past."
"As for Yavin, don't worry too much. And having said that, if we have to fall out with her, don't be afraid. I won't have any leverage over her."
Su Xiao can guess it.
Although the specific details are not very clear, judging from their conversation, Yavin was able to enter the medical school because of the River's great efforts.
It is precisely because of his disgrace that when River was exposed, Yavin would become furious and furious.
Not only because there are cracks in the relationship between the two, but also because River is taking control of him.
If River hands over the handle to Yavin, then Yavin will be finished.
She also came from the bottom, so she cherishes her current job very much. If she is kicked out, her life will be doomed.
However, although River can use the handle of Yavin to hold Yavin, the problem is...
"Do you think Yavin will still help us after this?"
River was a little unconcerned.
"Well, despite the quarrel, we can always make up in the end... I'll tell you next time we have a drink."
River said so, and Su Xiao stopped asking any more questions.
"Just treat me to a meal, but no need to drink. I don't like tobacco and alcohol."
River's sister, Joss, lives with her three children in a trailer park outside Santo Domingo.
When they came here, Su Xiao could immediately feel the smell of poverty and desolation.
These people can't even afford a house like Santo Domingo, so they can only live in this kind of place. You can imagine how poor they are.
"Okay, we're here."
The NCPD would rarely come to this wilderness, and there was no parking line here, so River drove the car directly to the door of Joss's house.
Jos's family has two mobile houses, one is where Joss and Randy's younger siblings live, and the other is where Randy lives alone.
The so-called mobile house, as the name suggests, is a house that can be pulled around by a car. It sounds very high-tech, but it is not.
In the United States in 2023, most owners of such mobile homes are actually poorer people.
If you like or yearn for freedom, there are too many alternatives, such as driving an RV to travel, which is far more convenient, faster and worry-free than this kind of mobile home.
The real use of a mobile home is not to actually take it with you on a trip, but to find a place to stay in a trailer park like this, which is equivalent to sleeping on a park bench or setting up a tent in the park.
River said with some sigh, "I used to come here every weekend, but that was a long time ago."
"Why?"
