Not just Night City, but all over the world, small companies are like that.
Even if you survive, you can only linger and breathe.
With the current structure of the world, it is simply impossible for small companies to develop.
But Meredith didn't expect that Su Xiao would contact her.
After she hesitated and struggled, she finally answered the phone. She wanted to hear what Su Xiao wanted to do with her.
Su Xiao said directly, "I want to buy 50 "Basilisk" tanks and 20 "Manticore" heavy armed flying vehicles."
Meredith frowned. "Do you have so much money?"
"Please make a price."
"The "Basilisk" tank costs 8.5 million euros, and the "Manticore" costs 10 million euros. The total cost of all the things you want is 625 million euros. Can you afford so much money?"
"Isn't it just 625 million? Yes, but I don't trust electronic bank transfers for such a large amount of money. You tell me a time, and we will find a place to meet at that time, and I will give you the money in person."
Chapter 313 Return to Night City(3K)
Meredith was surprised by Su Xiao's spending money.
Did this guy win the lottery?
Why are you so happy?
A big deal worth hundreds of millions without blinking an eye?
However, the weapons manufacturing industry is also an important pillar of Militech.
If someone buys it, Militech will certainly not fail to sell it.
As long as it's not sold to Arasaka, Militech's old enemy.
Moreover, "Basilisk" and "Manticore" are old models from decades ago. You don't need to worry about investing in rivals when selling Militech.
Meredith thought about it for a while. Anyway, according to the rules, when doing business, you always have to pay with one hand and deliver the goods with the other hand.
As long as Su Xiao can get that much money, she can transfer goods to Su Xiao from the warehouse.
There is no need to play black and white. The order of several hundred million is not too small, but it is not too much either.
And big companies are more trustworthy (for wealthy, wealthy customers).
"Okay, as long as you can afford this much money, I can get you all the things you want."
"Then I'll contact you when the time comes."
After hanging up the phone, Su Xiao called Rogge again.
After some exchanges of greetings, Su Xiao finally revealed his purpose.
"Roger, lend me 625 million."
Rogge, who was in the exclusive private room in the next life, couldn't help but his eyelids twitched a few times.
"You know you are talking about more than 600 million euros, not Zimbabwean dollars, right?"
"Of course."
If it had been someone else, Rogge would have hung up the phone and blocked him.
But she knew Su Xiao, and she also knew that Su Xiao would never joke casually.
Especially on this kind of thing.
Therefore, Rogge continued speaking patiently.
"Then you should know that this is a huge sum of money. Even if I spend so much money, it will be like breaking my bones."
"Su, our friendship is very good, but if you don't give me a reason, I can't lend you so much money."
Su Xiao replied on the phone, "You lend me 625 million, no more than five years, and I will pay you back 700 million."
The two gold mines allocated by the president to Dawn Military Company are both medium-sized gold mines.
Generally speaking, the annual profit of a medium-sized Gold Mine is generally between tens of millions and hundreds of millions.
Assuming a conservative estimate, it would be tens of millions.
The total profit of these two Gold Mine is almost 200 million.
Moreover, this does not include the profit of Copper Mine.
five years,
Enough to earn 700 million and return it to Rogge.
The next day, Su Xiao borrowed a military transport plane from the president, loaded VR Training Equipment onto the transport plane, and returned to Stone Ridge Mountain together with V and Lucy.
After returning to Stone Ridge Mountain, Su Xiao gathered everyone together.
Tell them about the contract signed by Su Xiao with the President of Bolivia and that the company will develop in Bolivia.
Others will naturally have no objections.
A long-term and stable contract means that Dawn Military Company's source of income can be stabilized, and it has also obtained three mineral properties, so the company will definitely get better and better in the future.
The better the company develops, the better they themselves will get better and better.
Later, Su Xiao made a special trip to Aldecaldos's camp and met Saul.
He proposed straight to the point, asking the entire Saul family to join Dawn Military Company.
Because the President of Bolivia promised Su Xiao three mineral deposits, and Dawn Military Company also had to help Bolivia train its army, so the number of manpower needed was indispensable. Just a few dozen people as before would not be enough.
The family of Saul is not all of Aldecaldos, but one of the families of Aldecaldos, but even so, there are still hundreds of people.
Even though these people are not all veterans like Mitch and Skar, they are also Nomads who have experienced combat, and their combat effectiveness is a level higher than that of Bolivia's Government Army and Anti-government Armed Forces.
Saul agreed without hesitation.
The treatment offered by Su Xiao was very attractive and he had no reason not to agree.
After Saul agreed, the whole Aldecaldos started to get busy.
Since they are going to Bolivia, the established company base Stone Ridge Mountain has no choice but to give up.
However, giving up means giving up, but it does not mean letting the facilities here rot.
Su Xiao gave Stone Ridge Mountain as collateral to Rogge.
It can be regarded as a mortgage for Rogge to lend him so much money.
Moreover, Roger is also useful in this place.
She could turn this place into a safe house.
For people in their profession, there are never too many safe houses.
While Aldecaldos was preparing to move, Su Xiao found a middleman with whom he had a good relationship and purchased a large amount of supplies such as weapon parts, materials, food, and medical supplies.
Because Bolivia is a landlocked country with no access to the sea.
After going to Bolivia again this time, there may be a long period of time when there is no way to return to Night City.
Therefore, all these materials must be prepared.
Before the soldiers and horses move, the food and fodder should go first. This is a law that has been applied both at home and abroad in ancient and modern times.
Then, in addition to Aldecaldos, Su Xiao also recruited the Mann team and several other mercenary teams that were relatively famous and had good character.
Other mercenary teams are easy to say. They are mercenaries to begin with. If you have breasts, you will be a mother. What's more, Su Xiao gives them a long-term and stable employment contract. Not only is the salary high, but it is also stable. How can they have any objections?
Although the Mann team all had opinions about the company, Su Xiao was different after all and had helped them a lot, so they agreed.
Just when all the preparations were in full swing, suddenly Judy called Su Xiao.
This really surprised Su Xiao.
Su Xiao I heard from Mox Gang's people that since Evelyn was hospitalized, Judy even went to Lizzie's Bar less, and stayed at home to take care of Evelyn.
If Judy hadn't needed money to live, he might have even quit Lizzie's Bar's job.
"Hey, Judy, how are you doing lately? By the way, how is Evelyn's condition?"
"Thanks to you, Xiao Ai has been discharged from the hospital, but..."
"Just?"
"Those things in the past have hurt her a lot. Now she is like two people from before. She seems to have closed her heart. She rarely speaks and often sits for a whole day."
This situation sounds serious.
It's like being autistic.
"Have you taken her to the doctor?"
Judy said with a tired voice.
"I have looked for it, and there are more than one. Some of them can't see what the problem is, and some think that there is no way to cure Evelyn's current state, and they can only wait for her to recover on her own."
"So now I have collected all the sharp tools in the house and installed anti-theft nets on the windows to prevent her from committing suicide."
Su Xiao nodded.
What Judy did is correct.
Although he himself is currently troubled by a lot of things.
But he still asked.
"Is there anything I can do to help?"
"Yes, but this matter... I'm not sure whether I should drag you into this."
"If you have anything to say, just tell me."
"If you have been to Lizzie's Bar in Mox Gang, you should also know that Lizzie's Bar was previously driven by a person named Lizzie. Tiger Claws Gang killed Lizzie, and the people of Mox Gang united and drove Tiger Claws Gang out."
"Well, I know this."
In fact, what Judy said is a simple version.
Full version Su Xiao I heard Suzie, the leader of Mox Gang, say it before.
"Then Cloudy Peak should have such a big time
Transformation."
"Mox Gang decided to enter Cloudy Peak?"
Judy in the video phone screen shook his head.
"No, this has nothing to do with Mox Gang, it was my idea. Maybe you don't know, Su."
"Those Sex Doll who work at Cloudy Peak work hard for Cloudy Peak. Most of their money has to be handed over to Cloudy Peak. The rest that belongs to them must be handed over and replaced with more advanced and higher version chips, otherwise they will be eliminated by Cloudy Peak."
"So after so many years, Xiao Ai can't save much money."
Judy's eyes flashed with anger.
"Cloudy Peak has absorbed so much money from these Sex Doll, but they haven't even done the most basic network protection. What's the use of them?"
Judy's anger, Su Xiao can understand.
In fact, the last time they went to Cloudy Peak to find Evelyn, Lucy had already seen that Cloudy Peak's network protection was poor.
It is hard to imagine that this level of network protection is actually a famous entertainment center in the city.
The reason why Voodoo Boys's hacker was able to burn out Cyberbrain of Evelyn is because the chip and implant receiving layer that Cloudy Peak gave to Sex Doll are integrated with Cloudy Peak's Subnet.
Therefore, when the hacker of Voodoo Boys bypasses the Subnet of Cloudy Peak, he can easily destroy the Cyberbrain of Evelyn.
If you want to avoid this situation from happening, it is actually very simple. You only need a piece of software to isolate Subnet from the chip of Sex Doll and the receiving layer of the implant.
In this way, even if the same situation as Evelyn occurs next time, as long as you try to modify the core operation, the software will record and block it.
The name of this software is "Eagle Eye", which is almost equivalent to the anti-virus software Kaspersky at the turn of the millennium.
As long as this thing is installed, situations like Evelyn will never happen again.
