Raijin Arasaka originally thought that Su Xiao would have some insight.

Is this the result?

Isn't this proposal exactly the same as my own idea?

Su Xiao is not angry either.

"High-end business wars often only require the simplest means. You think business wars involve hackers, spies, and stock manipulation, but in reality business wars involve scratching your car seat, climbing over walls to take secret photos, and hitting people with hammers."

Su Xiao spread his hands. "Look, it's so simple and unpretentious."

"We are not politicians who hide their knives in their smiles. We are entrepreneurs. We entrepreneurs should do what entrepreneurs should do. As long as you physically get rid of all the people who oppose you, who can go against you?"

"Arasaka Corporation I don't know very well, but I know that the crux of this so-called faction or clan is the leader. Once the leader dies, the faction will immediately disband."

"Stubborn to the end? It doesn't exist. When you go to work, it's all about money. Who would go to work for their dreams? What a joke, how many people don't even have their own dreams?"

In fact, it's just that simple.

Not Su Xiao himselfYY.

But at that time Fourth Corporate War, Arasaka and Militech were played like this.

During that time, the middle-level leaders of both sides were in high-risk occupations and were assassinated by their opponents at every turn.

Even the highest levels of both parties have faced assassination.

Not just once.

The elder brother of Raijin Arasaka, Kei Arasaka, died in Fourth Corporate War.

The reason why Raijin Arasaka did not do this was not because he could not think of doing so, but because he did not have the ability.

Arasaka Corporation has a total of half a million employees worldwide, but most of them are clerks, and the number of armed personnel is less than one-third.

As for Arasaka's most elite executioner unit "Troy", which is specially designed to target traitors, the number of that one is even smaller.

Originally, if it was used for assassination, "Troy" would be the most suitable.

But the problem is that "Troy" only obeys the orders of the Arasaka family patriarch, and they don't follow orders blindly.

After all, it has been so many years and Old Japan has died long ago. How can there be any Bushido spirit of serving the country for seven lives now?

"Trojan" will execute the order requested by Raijin Arasaka to hunt down Goro Takemura.

That's because no matter what Goro Takemura is, he is only a senior guard captain at most.

Just kill him, no big deal.

But if Raijin Arasaka wants "Troy" to get rid of his sister and niece, then "Troy" will never agree.

They won't take sides.

If you stand on the right side, it's okay, but if you stand on the wrong side, the game will be over.

The captain of "Troy" is not stupid, how could they easily give up and take sides?

Wouldn't it be nice to just sit back and watch, and then just obey the orders of the new head of the family who came out to fight?

As for whether they will be liquidated in the future, the captain of "Troy" thinks not, because no matter who is the new head of the family, they will be useful.

Liquidating them is no different than cutting off one's own arm. No one would be so stupid.

Chapter 340: As long as you can keep Arasaka, you can give me as much as you want (4K)

Raijin Arasaka cannot command "Trojan", and the security forces cannot be mobilized.

Arasaka Corporation is spread all over the world, although it has more than 500,000 employees.

But with so many employees, most of them are clerical workers.

After all, the security industry is only one of the three pillars of Arasaka Corporation. It is not only the security industry that can continuously provide wealth to Arasaka, but also the banking and manufacturing industries.

In fact, the contribution of the latter two is much greater than that of the security industry.

The security force of less than 200,000 may seem like a lot, but more than half of it here provides security services to the rich and powerful around the world.

Arasaka Corporation He can really mobilize only tens of thousands of people at any time.

Night City Arasaka's security forces actually have less than 30,000 troops.

With just these people, Raijin Arasaka has to guard against Militech, and there are simply not enough people left to deal with his sister and niece.

Moreover, using the security forces as assassins, Raijin Arasaka is not so lucid.

If Hana Arasaka and Michiko Arasaka are now in Night City, Raijin Arasaka might give it a try.

But the problem is that both of them are in Japan now, and they must be strictly protected by their respective subordinates.

If Raijin Arasaka sends his men to Japan to assassinate Hana Arasaka and Michiko Arasaka, the risk is too great, and the possibility of exposure is too high.

Once leaked, Raijin Arasaka will undoubtedly become the target of public criticism. Not only will he be unable to stay at Arasaka, Militech will also be very happy to help Arasaka get rid of this guy who always creates trouble for them.

This is why Raijin Arasaka also feels that physically destroying the opponent is the right approach, but he has never done so.

But now, Su Xiao proposed that Raijin Arasaka does not need to do it himself, he can help Raijin Arasaka solve his troubles.

"I'm not doubting you, it's just that the opponents you have to face are different from those militiamen in Latin America."

Raijin Arasaka knows that Su Xiao's company has won many battles in Bolivia.

But he knew better what kind of person Su Xiao's previous opponents were.

Government Army or Anti-government Armed Forces.

That's all.

Holding a gun and making a protruding sound may seem quite intimidating, but in fact, in the eyes of professionals, it is completely unqualified.

Of course, Sparkle Group's mercenaries still have two brushes.

However, those who do not have an entrepreneurial spirit and are not mercenaries fighting for the country will be able to fight against the wind, but not against the wind.

After all, they are mercenaries, so there is no shame in taking money to do things.

Escape is shameful but useful.

But the company's security force is different.

Because the company will take good care of its employees' families, the soldiers in the security forces will basically fight to the end and die for the company.

Someone may have something to say here:

That's not right. Doesn't the company use its employees as pawns and throw them away after use?

Yes, but also no.

I say "yes" because the company does not take good care of every employee's family. When the company weighs the pros and cons and feels that taking care of the employees' families is a bad deal, the company will not do it.

I say "no" because sometimes the company still needs to establish some glorious images and set up a few positive examples to motivate employees: Look! Although the company does not behave like a human being most of the time, there are still times when the company behaves like a human being. You can go without worry, the company will take care of your wife and daughter.

Besides, sometimes it's not really necessary to do something practical.

As long as the company increases its publicity and makes employees feel that "the company will take care of their families," that will be enough.

It's like a lie. If one person tells it and doesn't believe it, if more people tell it and the time goes by, someone will believe it.

In addition to loyalty, the security forces have received strict military training, and their prosthetics and weapons and equipment are not comparable to those in Latin America.

This makes Raijin Arasaka have to worry.

Although he has information about the location of his sister and niece, this information can only be used once at most.

If the assassination fails, his sister and niece will realize that he has planted nails beside them.

At that time, not only may the nails be pulled out, but the number of guards around them will also be increased several times.

If you try to find an opportunity to assassinate him in the future, the difficulty will undoubtedly increase countless times.

"I know what you are worried about, but I have to say that your worries are unnecessary. My people are not just for free. As long as you give me real information, I can put the heads of your sister and niece in front of you."

"You should pay attention to your tone, Mr. Su, you are talking about my sister and niece."

"That's right, but aren't you the one who killed them, Mr. Yorinobu?" Although he was facing one of the most powerful people in the world, Su Xiao did not mean it tactfully. "Or, Mr. Yorinobu, do you want to achieve your goal without bloodshed? We are all adults, so don't have such unrealistic delusions."

Being pointed out so bluntly, Raijin Arasaka was a little unhappy, but after all, he was a person who did important things, so he quickly suppressed this emotion.

"If you can really succeed in the assassination, I can give you as much financial assistance as you want."

Bolivia is only a country with an area of over one million square kilometers, which is only about the size of four Japans. Compared with being able to integrate the forces within Arasaka, the price paid is completely acceptable.

Moreover, providing economic assistance to Bolivia means that Japanese capital can enter Bolivia.

Although Raijin Arasaka is still not sure what Su Xiao wants to do...

But what he can see is that Su Xiao is definitely not just satisfied with being a head of state.

In the future, Bolivia is likely to become a regional power, or even higher.

Raijin Arasaka just hopes to nationalize Arasaka and smash the shackles of the company that binds the world

lock...

But this does not mean that he will choose to retire after achieving his goal.

If good people don't take power, isn't that the same as handing over the fruits of victory to bad people?

If possible, he wouldn't mind becoming the next Prime Minister of Japan.

And if we can establish a close cooperative relationship with Bolivia, a future regional power in Latin America...

So no matter from which aspect, this is beneficial and harmless.

Su Xiao didn't stay in the conference room for long.

The two parties quickly reached a cooperation.

Su Xiao got detailed information from Raijin Arasaka.

It can be seen that Raijin Arasaka is sincere about letting his sister and niece disappear from the world, and he also appears very anxious.

Therefore, unlike Da Ying, he only provides all help except practical support.

Raijin Arasaka In addition to intelligence, if you want money, give money, and if you want guns, give guns.

Of course there are prosthetics.

Although the power he controls is only Arasaka Corporation of the Night City branch.

But even so, it cannot be underestimated.

Raijin Arasaka has money, but no soldiers, and it is impossible to find mercenaries for this matter.

If nothing else, loyalty is hard to guarantee.

Don't go back and sell him after things didn't work out.

This kind of example has happened many times before, and Raijin Arasaka believes that it will happen countless times again in the future.

He didn't want to become one of the unlucky ones.

Now that Dawn Military Company is on top, Raijin Arasaka naturally opens the door to make things happen.

Whatever Dawn Military Company wants, no problem, just go to Arasaka's warehouse and pick it up.

Even if Arasaka doesn't have it, Raijin Arasaka can find a way to buy it for Su Xiao through connections and spending a lot of money.

Raijin Arasaka is so interesting, Su Xiao is naturally not polite.

Arasaka's smart gun is a small problem. Su Xiao can mass-produce this thing by itself, and the quality is better than the genuine Arasaka.

What really made Su Xiao's eyes light up was that after he visited Arasaka Waterfront's warehouse, he discovered that there were piles of materials that Su Xiao needed.

What material?

Of course it is the material used to make Exoskeleton Armor and "Falcione".

The materials required for this thing are very demanding. Even a big boss like Rogge can only get a little, which is just enough for Su Xiao to make one Exoskeleton Armor.

Although this Exoskeleton Armor can completely resist the impact of bullets and even artillery shells, this is equipment to be used on the battlefield. Who dares to pat their chests and guarantee that it will never break?

If it is broken, Su Xiao cannot repair it without materials.

So after Azure Tower's incident, Su Xiao hid it and was reluctant to use it.

But things are different now.
