"Boss, this is the budget for the police station of this Night City. Please take a look at it."
Xie Yuan, who was wearing an iron mask, took the tablet iPad from the hand of the charming-looking secretary and slowly studied the above information.
The little secretary didn't say anything, but quietly waited for Xie Yuan's verdict.
While Xie Yuan was looking at the information on the IPad, he also used the camera set up in the iron mask to send the information to security experts from Xia Tu Country, Arasaka, and Military Technology.
Regarding the budget, there is nothing that the Xiatu people can do their best to compress. Xie Yuan doesn't mind spending money, but he doesn't like to see his money being wasted.
Thirty minutes later, Xie Yuan made his decision after summarizing the plan drawn up by Xia Tu, Arasaka, and military technology security experts, and then using AI to analyze the details of the crime rate in the past year on the screen in front of him.
I quickly made notes and decisions on all aspects that should be added, subtracted, and canceled. Then I calculated the total amount, prepared a reserve fund of two million euros, signed my electronic monogram, and handed it to The little secret.
"Let our bureau chief go to the foundation to withdraw funds based on this budget."
The secretary glanced at the general content of the tablet and then covered his mouth and chuckled: "He will definitely feel particularly uncomfortable watching it."
"Being uncomfortable is no reason for him to set up random projects to make money for himself, and I have given him enough benefits."
Xie Yuan thought for a while, then took the tablet IPad over and canceled the cross, and then clicked the check: "This year, let him work hard until retirement and live a comfortable retirement life.
Just do it. "
"Yes, boss." The secretary picked up the iPad, then turned around and left the office.
Xie Yuan then stood up, looked at the towering commercial buildings outside, and sighed helplessly: "I didn't expect that the good city of Colorado would eventually become a dragon's pit and a tiger's den similar to Gotham.
Night City, hum, Knight, your wish is wishful thinking after all. "
It is now 2013. Sitting on the top of the tall gear building, Xie Yuan looks at the technological prosperity of Night City, which is a dense flow of people... I wonder, how many people will die today?
…
Twenty years ago, Knight presided over the founding of Colorado City, which was completed the following May. Knight attracted investment from many large businesses through generous tax incentives, thereby promoting economic development and providing future citizens (corporations employees) has laid a solid foundation.
The plan was excellent, and the nascent city of Coronado was truly a spectacle. Thanks to careful planning, the city is wonderfully built, loving, and safe.
You must know that at that time, other places in Yingjiang were already in dire straits. After the fact that the Fourth Bureau Gang manipulated the direction of world securities broke out in 1994, this news was made public and led to the outbreak of the world financial crisis.
This event was later collectively called the "Great Collapse" by historians. The municipal governments of many cities were weakened by the collapse of the world stock market, and were hit by factors such as large numbers of unemployed people, homeless people, and serious corruption, and eventually collapsed or went bankrupt. The federal government, beset by staggering deficits and the conspiracy of the Gang of Four, has completely lost its role.
At the beginning of the second half of 1996, the President and Vice President of the United States were assassinated respectively. The Senate president pro tempore also refused to take office while the House speaker underwent heart bypass surgery. As the current top official in the federal executive branch, Defense Secretary Jonathan Seward temporarily abrogated the constitution and declared martial law. The "Four Bureaus" (NSA, IAA, FIB, and DEA) have gained nearly the greatest autonomy within the U.S. federal government.
chaos! Although Xie Yuan also made a lot of money this year because of the four games, Xie Yuan still has to say this.
However, the military is not without counterattack: the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff established the MIC (Military Intelligeive) to deal with the large number of duplication problems among the nine intelligence agencies of the US military. However, the Fourth Bureau Gang believed that the military's move showed that their conspiracy had been exposed, and began to carry out sabotage activities by delaying or concealing important intelligence.
It can be said that the only ones that do not have much influence economically and politically are the New Alliance, which has a perfect industrial level, and Xiatu, which adjusts its policies and focuses on rural construction.
In 1997, most of the Middle East was destroyed in a thermonuclear war of strictly controlled scale. Radioactive fallout spread throughout the world, cutting world crude oil production in half.
Immediately after the man-made disaster, there was a violent natural disaster - floods broke out in Xia Tu and Europe. Fortunately, Xia Tu united as one to defend the catastrophic flood. Europe was not so lucky, and large areas were flooded, including Hamburg.
Eurasia is experiencing floods, while Yingjiang is experiencing severe drought.
The severe drought that occurred in 1998 turned most of the central and western regions into a wasteland of withered grass. Family farms have all disappeared under the dual pressure of the AgriBusiness Corps and drought. U.S. food exports cease.
So you can imagine how enjoyable it is to enjoy a paradise land that represents stability, food and clothing security.
It's a pity. Murphy's Law shows that when the world situation is not good, a Colorado city cannot be safe.
On the evening of September 20th, Xie Yuan, who had just finished handling company affairs at home, suddenly heard a "bang" gunshot. After listening casually, Xie Yuan could only shake his head with a solemn expression from the direction of the gunshot. .
As the old saying goes, a hero's life is short. No matter how good Knight's work is, he still can't let go of some persistence in his heart... When using his advanced construction technology and materials, he rejected some of the existing ones. There are trade unions and construction companies - many of which are controlled by well-organized crime syndicates.
Xie Yuan, as Nate's potential nemesis, once very slightly hinted that Nate had crossed the line, but unfortunately he didn't listen.
The gunshot just now was the death knell for him.
Whether Knight dies or not has nothing to do with Xie Yuan. To be honest, his method of purchasing land was too shameless, and there was an enhanced gang in Morobe that should have been wiped out immediately. He had his acquiescence. It would be very generous not to kill him.
However, there were downsides to Knight's death. The leaders of several major gangs brought Coronado City under the control of the gangs and renamed the city "Night" in honor of Richard Knight. Special)" city.
When gangs came to power, crime, drugs, prostitution, random violence, and cyberterrorism quickly replaced law. By privately contracting projects to associates, selling drugs and extortion, and recruiting the scum of the Badlands into their ranks, the gang successfully turned this clean, modern city into a battlefield filled with smoke.
In the first year after Knight's death, Mirian, who had recovered from the pain of losing her husband, couldn't bear the thought of her husband's ideals being ruined like this.
Under this circumstance, Night International is the Night City Public Foundation created by Mirian with a huge investment. The purpose of the company is to protect and realize Richard's perfect city vision.
But after all, Night International is not an established company. It doesn't have any secret accumulation and manpower. How can it quell the chaos? Night International, which had no accumulation, began to seek help from the large companies that initially invested in Night City, hoping to help return Night City to the rule of law.
But in this case, the forces that are fighting against the mob gangs, the mainstream organizations that are plundering the city, come from the vassals of big companies - they need these gangs to do their dirty work, and they are using them! How could it be possible to get rid of them?
And this is also a lesson given by big companies to punish Richard Knight for not abiding by the rules between giant companies after taking power.
Mirian, who had a hot face but a cold butt, should have stopped, but sometimes you have to admire a woman who is crazy for her lover.
She directly sought help from Metal Gear Company, which was also stationed in Night City and gradually progressed to the bottom of the echelon of large companies - you must know that Metal Gear Company has always been at odds with Knight.
The public didn't quite understand the reason for the conflict between the two parties, thinking it was a failure in the fight for public construction rights. However, Knight once told her in private that the real conflict between the two parties lay in the "Moro Bay Massacre" that occurred in 1992.
There are many residents of the former town of Morro Bay in Metal Gear. Because Knight happened to appear at the time when the land price in Morro Bay plummeted due to the massacre, everyone in Metal Gear unanimously believed that Knight was the instigator.
But what happened, Knight just said, "The matter is done, and there is no way to pursue the details."
However, an important reason for finding Metal Gear to come forward is that unlike other companies such as EBM, Arasaka Group, and Pezo Petrochemical, Metal Gear’s headquarters building is in Night City!
As the only local company with military strength and experienced backstage, despite all kinds of conflicts and grievances, it is the only one Mirian can turn to for help.
There is one thing. The boss of Metal Gear Company, John Ironface, is an extremely reclusive guy, and he is extremely afraid of death!
No one has seen him going to and from get off work, but he will definitely be in the office when it is time to go to and from work; when he goes out to meet clients, he also drives by car. When the clients arrive at their destination, he is already waiting attentively at the scene; meetings are never held in transparent meetings with good lighting. Instead of sitting in a dark room, the meeting was held with the curtains down - the curtains are said to have special coatings that can prevent thermal imaging prying eyes.
When he appears in front of the world, he must be wearing a black iron mask, and his voice is hoarse - his voice has been changed, as if he is not afraid of someone pretending to be his name.
It is indeed difficult to find him, and it is best not for outsiders to know about the meeting between two top executives of a large company.
But fortunately, when late husband Knight was still alive, he once made a secret cooperation plan between the two local forces - but it was a pity that Xie Yuan later regarded it as "you ignored me in the past, but you can't reach me today". Yu refused... After all, when Xie Yuan wanted to invest in Night City, he was rejected by Knight.
But at this moment, at that moment, Knight had too many choices around him at that time, but now he has none. He can only find John to talk about the reason why his lips are dying and his teeth are cold.
Fortunately, Knight met John in secret back then, and the location was in an ordinary residential building. No one was allowed to live in the building above and below to prevent eavesdropping.
Mirian came to this special residential building alone. Holding back her nausea, she covered the lampshade outside the guardrail with a piece of red cloth that had been lying nearby for who knows how long.
Then he picked up the key and opened the door, turned on the light, sat on the tea table, and waited quietly... I didn't know if I was right to come here today.
"Poof!" Suddenly the light went out and the tea room fell into darkness.
"Well..." Mirian bit her finger suddenly, suppressed the fear in her heart, stood up and turned on the light.
"Crack!" The lights came on again, the light returned to the room, and then Mirian suddenly heard the sound of water being poured from behind!
"Gululu"
Mirian turned around stiffly and saw a man in a suit with a black iron mask on his face sitting opposite the seat where she had just been sitting. He picked up a pot of hot water and made a cup of tea.
The tea cup was moved to Mirian's, and Iron Mask extended his hand to invite: "Mrs. Knight, please have a cup of hot tea. I hope you can express your condolences about Mr. Knight."
Speaking of sadness, Mirian bowed his head in pain again.
