Chapter 274 Trip to Busan Part 3

Even in the heavens and the earth, the City of Night is a very unique and twisted place. Two companies are fighting each other, the space people and the earth people, the sky people and the Chinese people, the local natives and the foreign natives. There are too many contradictions and oppositions. Full of chaos and uncertainty. In contrast, the order in Busan is much clearer.

One company, one plutocrat, one order.

The GE Group controls everything. There is no one from this faction or that faction, only chaebols and their dogs.

Challenging authority? Questioning the chain of command? Next? Special treatment for the two classes of nobles?

He is equipped with a combat prosthetic body and can fight, has several guns in his hand, and has hundreds of people under his command, but he dares to bark at the company's official uniform?

In Busan, it doesn't exist.

Everything in Busan, everything, belongs to the GE Board of Directors. Others, whether they are managers or thugs, are just slaves who rely on GE for their livelihood.

So what should we do when conflicts arise between slaves?

It's actually simpler.

GE Group is already a very established and systematic company in the world, with a clear and clear management system.

At the bottom is the technical level, including interns, regular members, agents (senior members similar to deputy section chiefs), and department heads.

In the middle is the management, including managers at all levels from section chiefs, directors, directors, to subsidiary presidents.

The top level is naturally the board of directors and the president, director and decision-makers of the company.

When an internal conflict occurs, the first thing to do is to check whether you are inside or outside the GE system, and which level you belong to within the group.

He is a cadre of the company, or an employee of the first- and second-level agencies. Is it a minister or a section chief? It just depends on who or whose relative has a higher sequence within the GE system.

Is it equivalent to a competition? Everyone shows off their fighting power. There is no need to argue. The rights and wrongs of things can be settled internally. Serve tea and pour wine, kowtow and admit your mistakes.

Although the salary and remuneration system is relatively complex and cannot be generalized, it is difficult for outsiders to intervene in the competition between managers from the same class, different companies, and different factions.

But if there is a conflict between the president of a first-level agency and the brother-in-law of a certain workshop department and they have to take sides, then there really is nothing to hesitate about.

So Park Chongzhi didn't even need to wink, Huang Junmin got rid of these bugs.

There’s not much to say. Busan is the final state of development for most Zhutian companies.

The entire city is a corporate office, a dormitory for corporate dogs, and all the infrastructure surrounding the city serves companies and corporate dogs.

In this city, all ordinary people, as long as they have not joined a company, are not even considered dogs of the chaebol, they can only be regarded as "parasites" on the "dog".

This is not an exaggeration, it is a cruel reality.

The simplest example is the girl group girls who come to accompany you for drinks.

Park Chongzhi was probably not enjoying himself as he was interrupted by Boss Huang just now. Now he was so impatient that he pulled two beauties to continue the exchange of life philosophies.

So Li Pan went to the balcony with the remaining two people to enjoy the night breeze, drank the rest of the champagne tower, and casually chatted with them about life and philosophy, which was an eye-opener.

Well, these beauties can really communicate with you about various philosophies. They are not inferior clones or machines. They are all college students who are about to obtain citizenship, and they are also students at the legendary S.K.Y. Sky University.

GSU Galaxy University of Science and Technology, GKU, Galaxy Korea University, GYU, Galaxy Yonsei University, and the three famous schools known as Sky University are, of course, the 0791 local branch campus.

However, those who can be admitted to the undergraduate branch are also top-notch students. The admission bias of these three schools is basically the same as that of Tokyo University and Yeshi Institute of Technology. Although the overall teaching level in the 0791 Peninsula is a little worse than that in Night City, the comprehensive admission bias is also reduced to 2%, which means that you have to be better than 98% of local competitors to have a chance to be admitted. .

It is called Sky University, in addition to the abbreviation, because life will be completely different from now on. Only by being admitted to one of these three schools can you reach the top in one step and join GE. Once you officially join the company as an intern, you will receive a basic salary starting at 20,000 yuan per month.

What? Was such a talented student coerced by the underworld to accompany him?

Come on, in a place like 'Crystal Palace', all the people who come in and out are GE's regular employees, and the commission and tips start at hundreds of thousands. If you want to sneak in and find a rich husband, or find a part-time mistress, it's like a crucian carp crossing the river. Does the person named Huang still need to intimidate?

And do you think that because you are beautiful, you are qualified to accompany you for drinks? Don't be stupid, being beautiful is of no use these days? Things that can be done with money are the least valuable.

You have to be eloquent, observant, well-versed, and discerning in appearance, so that you can keep up with the topics and rhythms of these corporate dogs, and you need to be able to serve people happily and give you red envelopes, otherwise you will only get a slap in the face and be kicked out.

Even the reality is the other way around. Not only do not many of the people who work here do it for the money, but some even secretly take the initiative to give red envelopes to the nightclub manager in order to compete for the opportunity to appear.

No, this is not meanness, it is having a dream.

Because everyone here really wants to debut in a girl group and become a superstar who is famous all over the world!

Queen of the Galaxy!

Okay, let's talk about how the Galaxy Queen, the Queen of the Galaxy, became the headline of QVN's major official websites, the first advertisement page, and the endorsement fee is hundreds of millions!

First you have to take the exam.

GE only accepts graduates from the above three universities, so you must first have a diploma from any SKY university on your resume before you have a chance to be accepted through the system screening. Use this stepping stone to get an interview opportunity with the human resources department of a company under GE. .

After passing the interview, you also have to pass the GE Group's entry test and training before you have the opportunity to join a secondary entertainment company under GE and become a contracted artist trainee. Only then did I have the opportunity to be selected as an intern by GE, break out of the girl group of the same period, sign a contract with a first-class celebrity agency, and become a full-time employee. After that, I can develop into singers, celebrities, idols, supermodels, etc., and work on the QVN network and multimedia platforms in the world. Fight in battles and climb to the throne of the Galaxy Queen step by step.

Anyone who has been in society knows that getting admitted to SKY, joining GE, or even making a debut in the entertainment industry is just the first step. Opportunities will not fall in front of you from the sky. What you are entering is a cruel battlefield where everyone has the ability, looks, education, and IQ, so you must have the support of connections behind the scenes to have a chance of standing out.

But once you officially join the company, your schedule is filled with various company training, planning and business operations, and you only have 4 hours of free time every day. It is too late to make connections. For any third-level film director, there may be hundreds of idols blocking the door and wanting to have sex with him. Even if you are willing, their kidney function is not strong enough!

Therefore, these most critical layouts must be completed in advance during school.

Yes, there are generally two ways out for female college students at SKY. One is to find a second-generation manager or a genius with a scholarship during college, get married and become a rich wife, and then she will eat her husband's salary.

The second is to come to a place like the Crystal Palace, drink and talk about relationships, make friends with the cadres and presidents of GE headquarters, and lay a solid foundation for your future career after graduation.

What? I've passed the SKY exam, can't I seriously work in a business or technical position?

That's fine, but one of GE's core corporate cultures is extreme machismo, which favors boys over girls.

If you are really talented and are the kind of genius who invents cutting-edge technologies, then that's a different matter. Otherwise, female employees will almost certainly encounter gender discrimination and a ceiling in the workplace. Generally, they are the kind of assistant managers who do or are fucked by others, and it is almost impossible to become a full-time employee.

The work pressure is not necessarily less than that of celebrities. What they do is still a business. They make pumps 20 hours out of the 24 hours, and the money they get is not as much as that of celebrities...

Of course, you can go for surgery if you have money, but to be honest, if you become a man, won't you still be working like a cow and a horse, exhausted to death, earning tens of thousands of dollars twenty hours a day? What's the difference?

There are some things that you didn’t have when you were born and you won’t have them for the rest of your life.

The last meal of champagne, which was as light as water, completely drank up the girl group, leaving Li Pan alone in a daze, staring at the dimly lit and extremely depressing night view of Busan.

Don't look at the fact that Night City is in full swing right now.

In fact, no matter whether it was Gao Tianyuan, the Ye clan, or the monsters who won the victory, they would end up like Busan in the end.

Among all the corporate empires in the world, which one is not like this?

And even so, it's not necessarily bad.

At least when asked about these girl group members, they feel that Busan is much better now than it was in the Joseon Kingdom.

After all, it was not the same before that you had to go to the master's house in the second class to work as a cow, a horse, a slave, and be beaten and scolded.

At least the company dog ​​will be paid after being fucked...

Anyway, after having a lot of fun in the second round and stuffing the red envelopes, President Park took Li Pan to take a bath again, had a full-body spa, essential oil massage, and a late night snack, uh, morning tea, Changbai Mountain Korean Ginseng Soup, and woke up Sober up and change into clean clothes.

Finally, he personally delivered Li Pan to a high-end apartment in the center of Busan and opened the elevator for him before politely shaking hands and saying goodbye.

And Richard Quant was also greeting him at the door.

"I'm so sorry, Manager Li, you must have been waiting for a long time."

It's exactly three o'clock, and the sense of time is quite accurate...

"You are so polite. This is your first time in Busan. Thanks to President Park's warm hospitality, I have seen a lot of the market."

"Yes, President Park is indeed an excellent businessman, so please sign this NDA confidentiality agreement first, and then let's go directly to today's topic."

Well, President Park is a professional business receptionist, and Director Quant is really a straight man who specializes in technology. He didn't even bother to pour a glass of water for Li Pan to moisten his throat, but just took pictures of a bunch of technical agreements, and then Invite him into the conference room and project a lot of PPT and technical reports...

"The reason I invite you this time is to hire you to help test our company's newly developed equipment."

"Oh, are you hiring? Sure enough, your company has also launched a new competing product. But I remember when we last met, didn't you say there was no point in asking me to drive?"

"I feel the same way now, but I'm just a technical person."

Li Pan smiled and didn't care. He looked at the blueprints and laboratory live broadcasts displayed by the other party, and unexpectedly discovered that this was not a new model of bionic man, but some kind of SBS.

Yes, it is some kind of armor suit, and it seems to be biological armor, closer to a genetically modified biological weapon. The outer shell is like a beetle shell, and red, green, pink, and white muscle tendon fibers and nerve flagella can be clearly seen inside. Wriggling like a living creature.

The entire biological armor is like a dissected human skin beetle. When unfolded, you can clearly see the torso and chest, which roughly corresponds to the position of the BRW reactor. There is a huge heart, and the blood vessels are connected to external wires and connected to the engine output. End-to-end energy supply, at this time, the sound of vibrations, the biological fluids are injected into the whole body of the armor.

"Oh? Is it some kind of combat armor based on BRW?"

It looks a bit similar to Pharaoh/Unit-1.

Richard Quant nodded and introduced,

"Yes, you also know that our BRW prosthetics are mainly aimed at technical research and the luxury consumer market. They focus on functionality and comfort. We need to change technology in the short term. In the military and sports markets, it is impossible to compete with our opponents. possible.

So we bought the latest technology from the Целина virgin land, the доспехи armor system, which is a genetic multiplier developed based on the LARVA protozoa, Bio Booster Armor, a biologically enhanced armor that can be directly integrated with the genome modulation based on the LRAVA protozoa. Implantation symbiosis.

BYB's prosthetics do not use LARVA, but the AG dolls have independently compiled the protozoan genes to adapt to their overload system. In contrast, our BRW's main technology is based on the reactor, and there is not much editing of the protein protozoa, so it only requires simple adaptation to be installed, which can complement each other..."

Li Pan looked at the pile of technical blueprints, and then at the pile of scattered biological test subjects in the laboratory. It was obvious that he had been working overtime until just now, and was still doing compatibility optimization tests for the two companies' systems. But did you buy it from a virgin land? Why, armor designed for maggots? maggot! Super evolution! Is Bian turning into a scarab...

"...You spent a lot of money, right?"

Quant sighed, took off his glasses and rubbed his brow tiredly.

"Alas, there is no other way. The current market is too crazy. It is obvious that most people can't use functions, but everyone has them, so you can't live without them.

Now we can only temporarily use this method to deal with the emergency. At least it must be proved that our BRW prosthetic body can also achieve superhuman performance through some kind of technical assistance.

For the rest, let’s get through this first and then talk about it…”

"But...can this kind of organism SBS really reach the level of those two companies? After all, virgin land is where maggots are produced, right? Is it good for military use?"

Li Pan was a little skeptical, because he found that the blueprint was completely a theoretical laboratory product, and the No. 1 machine had not even been completed to provide data verification.

Quant apparently had similar doubts;

"I don't know. I'm only responsible for making biological armor compatible with BRW. But the theoretical data provided by Virgin Land is excellent. Their genetic technology is indeed the top level in the world. Let's give it a try."

"Give it a try..."

Li Pan looked at him,

"Director, didn't you ask me to take out these hundreds of millions of prosthetic bodies for you to try?"

Quant said, "You can rest assured. I have tested the m4 system and there is no problem with the connection. Moreover, you are a new prosthetic body and can be repaired or replaced."

Li Pan looked at him silently.

Quant and Li Pan looked at each other for a while, then responded with an "Oh" and took out an encrypted data card.

"Here's a quote proposal for you."

Li Pan inserted the chip and took a look. Sure enough, Richard Quant was a part-time worker. His wife Brunhilde Quant was in charge. The proposal she gave was similar to that of BYB. To put it simply, the local GE consortium will arrange tasks to conduct combat testing of the new BRW product, and Li Pan will be the test driver whose identity is kept confidential.

He does not bear any responsibilities and does not need any planning. He is just a hard worker. All he needs to know is where to go, what to fight, and how many animals to kill. Therefore, the price they offered was only a commission of one billion, which could be settled in one go, and you could choose any prosthetic body on sale from BRW.

It's too petty...

Li Pan rolled his eyes.

"Director Quant, I also know that your company is tight on money recently, but this time I am here to help you in times of need. Just give me this... do you think it is worth it?"

Richard Quant said seriously,

"I am not responsible for the quotation, but the equipment and technology this time are provided by our company. GE will not let you attack the Cool Baboon office building. One billion in cash is a lot of money."

One billion is indeed a lot, and after all, BYB was breaking ground on Europa that time. The risk was too great, so it was indeed necessary to pay more, but the income gap between the two sides was so big that Li Pan was a little bit uninterested in talking about it.

"How should I put it? I'm very grateful for your company's appreciation, but after all, I am a person with an annual income of one trillion yuan. Time is very precious, and I have to take action on tasks worth only one billion yuan. Haha, you can find another job and say goodbye. "

Seeing that Li Pan actually wanted to leave in the middle of the conversation, Richard Quandt was a little scratching his head.

"Manager Li, please wait a moment, I will let Brunhilde talk to you."

Then a burst of light flashed, and the holographic projection of the intelligent human prosthetic body turned, projecting the appearance of Brunhilde Quant.

"Manager Li, I don't know what your psychological expectations are."

Li Pan was not polite, "Let me give you one trillion first to show respect."

Brünnhilde rolled her eyes, "This is impossible! GE just wants to find someone to wipe out the local rebel bandits!"

Li Pan shrugged, "Then you can just find someone to fight the bandits. Do you need to contact me for such a trivial matter?"

Brünnhilde endured,

"There are apostles who use monsters among those bandits. It just so happens that we also need product testing, so we invited you.

How about this, we offer 10 billion. Now that you have purchased the prosthetic body, the experimental biological plant equipment will also be given to you. Of course, you will also be able to dispose of the monsters obtained during the elimination process. How about that? "

Use monster bandits?

Li Pan was a little interested, but it wasn't enough.

"Madam, I just work for others. What's the use of monsters? They can't be eaten and no one will buy them. In the end, they have to be turned over to the company.

On the contrary, if the prosthetic enhanced armor you came up with can be proven to be effective, new customers will not dare to tell, and old customers will definitely have to have one in case of any eventuality.

Didn’t the stock price just rise back up again? One trillion, not expensive. "

Brünnhilde did not give in at all,

“This system is not ours to specialize in, we just bought the right to use it, and the virgin land will have to share the royalties. Moreover, this is only a temporary measure, and it is impossible to fundamentally reverse the disadvantage. At most, it will return to the original stock price.

We don't have much profit ourselves, we are just trying to stop losses as a contingency, and now it is even more impossible to come up with so much turnover to meet the asking price of a lion like you. "

Li Pan chuckled,

"If you don't have cash, just give me two points for the original stock, or one point is fine."

Brünnhilde looked at him coldly,

"Although our family has encountered some difficulties, it has not fallen to that point..."

Then she changed her tune,

"But if you want shares, you should also have confidence in the BRW brand. It just so happens that our company has just ended the contract with the 0791 local 4S direct store.

We can consider transferring the exclusive agency rights of the Night City area to you for the next ten years at an ultra-low price of 500 billion. I wonder if you are interested. "

Exclusive agent for ten years? In other words, it is like GE, which imports prosthetics from the BRW factory at cost price, and the original factory only makes money from software upgrade packages and customized system accessories...

Li Pan did a rough mental calculation. In the Night City prosthetic market, the total shipments of BBA's sixth-level technology and luxury-grade prosthetics each year are just over 10,000.

In the past, BRW accounted for at least half of them. Even if BYB will join the competition in the future, the annual sales volume of 3,000 units should still be there. After all, the City of Night is still the center of the 0791 Earth.

The profits of luxury prosthetics are very high. The performance cost of a fourth-level product like VK-MT380 is about 4 million compared with AG, and both have a profit margin of about 10%. For six-level customized products with an original price of hundreds of millions, the profit is probably 30 or 50 points upwards. For limited-edition customized products, the price increase is 200 or 300 points.

In other words, a prosthetic body with a combat power of hundreds of millions will earn you at least 30 million per unit, and the annual net profit will be 100 billion. Such a stable flow of money looks much better on the books than the electrocardiogram of black oil smuggling.

Li Pan was already moved, but he still curled his lips and said firmly,

"The Night City has been reduced to a pot of porridge, and you still transferred these non-performing assets to me for a discount, which is a good calculation."

Brünnhilde smiled slightly,

"With our BRW's reputation and brand value in the world, this is a sure-profit deal. To put it bluntly, now you are taking advantage of our situation and taking advantage of our bottom line.

If I hadn't heard that you had taken the investment from Milestone and we were short of liquidity, I wouldn't have talked to you more about it. So what if the Night City is temporarily in chaos?

Manager Li, take a long-term view. From the perspective of human history, war is temporary, but long-term prosperity and peace will definitely come. "

That's not necessarily true. From his true long-term perspective, everything on the timeline is temporary, and all civilizations will be wiped out and come to an end...

But that future is indeed still far away.

"Okay, deal. But what exactly do I want to do? Fight bandits? Are there bandits in Busan too?"

Brünnhilde shook hands with him,

"I will send you the contract later. You can ask the people at GE for specific tasks.

I heard that they were experts hired from the Ming Dynasty to deal with the indigenous rebels. They were quite powerful. They killed three or four of the ministers in our society. They seemed to be from the Wudang Clan. "
