I'm not a cyberpsycho

No matter what, except for Li Pan who wanted to change jobs, no one else in the team offered to resign after going through a mission.

The head office also responded quickly. They were always lenient with business settlements. They recognized the completion of the two tasks of 'Fountain of Youth' and 'Jin Yao Academy'. They also recognized the contribution of Kotaro, Shiranui and Yamazaki in completing the tasks. They also received the rewards. With their respective formal attire and a silver key, they are considered members of the company.

Since everyone is a team from now on, Li Pan also made some arrangements for his grass-roots team.

Aqi and Rama continued to cooperate and continued to be responsible for the logistics department and the warehouse, as well as the human resources department.

Regardless of whether there is any interference from ACA, personnel recruitment will definitely continue. It is difficult to recruit temporary workers for the company's headquarters business, but the warehouse management staff of the 41 external warehouses must also be filled.

In addition, Li Pan sent Liu Heitu's resume information obtained from Lao Wu to Aqi to arrange a recruitment trial. This little old man in Bajiquan is so good at fighting, it will definitely be useful to recruit him as a temporary worker, and he himself definitely wants to heal his old back.

If the filing cabinet can restore Old Man Liu's combat effectiveness, a large number of experts from the Tianlong Gang can be poached and recruited.

As for Kotaro, Shiranui and Yamazaki, their ability to make investigative reports must be placed in the sales department. There are still too few people at present, otherwise Li Pan would also have a Secretariat of the Intelligence Division Operations Division or something.

In addition, Li Pan also sent them the big case in his hand, the 'Holy Grail Bid'.

"This is the company's long-term goal. Everyone can prepare first, including investigating the holder of the Holy Grail, its storage location, our competitors, etc.

Of course, there is no rush to do this. Just prepare slowly and do some ordinary research and purchasing. Oh, by the way, in order to avoid losing contact and support each other, the business department should follow the regulations and work in pairs when going out. How about..."

Li Pan just wanted to say that Sister Shiranui and I can work together as a team. If we have nothing to do, we can do some exercises together. Even if we don't practice, it's good to keep our eyes peeled.

Unexpectedly, the other party picked up a task book and spoke first.

"I discovered that part of the company's 'Monster Procurement' cases are for the 'Demon Sealing Weapon'. Lord Demon Feng, as the heir of the Demon Sealing Family, you must be aware of these 'Demon God Seals'. Why don't we cooperate?" How about transferring these out-of-control 'evil things' to the company, sealing them, and keeping them under strict supervision, so as to prevent them from being captured by Iga's ninjas and abusing the power of the devil to cause disaster?"

Feng Mo Kotaro smiled and said,

"That's exactly what I meant. I've heard about Shiranui Jōnin's methods for a long time. You are a senior with rich experience in sealing demons. With your cooperation, I don't have to worry about the Iga ninja sneak attacks from behind. Sealing monsters will definitely get twice the result with half the effort."

I'm here, you two are on board, right? Don't bring personal grudges into work!

Yamazaki Ayato, an undercover agent with no eyesight, also took the initiative to raise his hand.

"General Manager, I found that the target of this purchase case is an old acquaintance of my family. Why don't we go purchase monsters together? Maybe I can persuade him to lower the price and transfer it to the company."

Li Pan, "...Oh, okay, let's arrange it this way."

So Aqi Rama went to recruit people, two ninjas went to seal the demons, Li Pan and Yamazaki went to purchase, and Shiba stayed behind to look after the house, responsible for technical support and always paying attention to the curve of the stock market...

Well, black gold hasn't risen back yet, and two million was cut out for urgent use before, so the trap is tighter now. When can I earn my small target? I'll go...

"Boss, my friend and I made an appointment and got the permit. We can fly directly to Sky City."

"Damn it, you still have friends living in Sky City? What kind of job do you have?"

Sky City is the most high-end community in the Night City. It is a floating island floating in the sky, flying higher than the top of the clouds. The entire community is composed of independent villas of top chaebols, with several small destinations in one building. The gatekeepers are all from the security department.

Yamazaki Ayato also smiled bitterly and passed the information over.

"My grandfather used to be a guard for the Imai family. The young master of the Imai family and I have been playing together since childhood, so we can be considered friends."

"The Imai family? Oh, are there members of the Sakai Port Association..."

Li Pan also looked at the information compiled by Yamazaki and Shiba. Initially, the Oda family were samurai, and the gathering in Sakai Port were the royal merchants of the Oda family.

Later, the first generation Oda gradually reformed the governance model and stopped being a shogun and switched to business. As a result, Takamagahara Shoji was gradually established and participated in the trade of the heavens. The role of the indigenous warriors in the past was not great, but these indigenous merchants He became a confidant of the Oda family, and joined the shopkeepers to become professional managers and investment consultants under Takamagahara. Although they did not own Takamagahara's shares, they could receive high remuneration and bonuses based on their performance.

This model of samurai as directors and businessmen as managers has continued.

The Imai family is the royal manager of the Oda family. Although they have no power, they have plenty of money. Moreover, the directors of Takamagahara are fighting for power and profit. No matter who wins in the end, they will still have to go to them as shopkeepers when it comes to handling business. of. So these people are also happy to have paid time off.

So the float vehicle came to Sky City ‘Sakai Port’ under the guidance of automatic navigation.

This sky city is essentially a colonial ship transformed from an aircraft carrier. In fact, it is more fuel-efficient to park on the ground or in orbit. It is floating in the sky without going up or down. The main reason is that there is no place to burn it if you have money...

The gap between Sky City and Night City is indeed huge. One side is cyberpunk, and the other side is atom punk. There are automatic shuttles coming and going in the city, and the clothing style is futuristic. Almost everyone They are all supermen filled with level six prosthetics, and they are also followed by medical balls.

Oh, some people don’t know what a health insurance ball is. To put it simply, it is a drone the size of an exploding ball. This is high-tech equipment that even Takamagahara cannot produce. Each ball is purchased from Zhutian Private Health Insurance Company. Genetically customized and imported at a high price.

As long as you purchase a monthly platinum card from a private medical company, which costs about a few million per month, you can enjoy round-the-clock protection from the medical insurance sphere. In addition to providing you with constant medical monitoring, it can also provide you with molecular space suits, deflection positions, bulletproof and anti-virus, and nano-recombination. , air purification and other customized services, and of course the aforementioned chip data uploading and prosthetic reincarnation insurance services are also indispensable.

To put it bluntly, even if this place is leveled, it won't hurt them even a hair. They will be reincarnated into another world in a matter of minutes.

Guided by the automatic navigation, the two of them came to the large garden in the city, which was probably the entertainment venue of Sky City. It was like a maze, filled with villas and restaurants. The waiters who came and went were all level 5 smart dolls with smooth curves. On the top, not even the screws or metal structure can be seen, and they look like human-shaped ceramic vases that have just been fired from the kiln.

Although these dolls are minimalist in style, each one is a terminal robot with its own system intelligence. The whole process is monitored by QVN network, and it can turn into a top killing machine in an instant. Once a case occurs, it can be linked to the security department at any time. Agent comes in.

Under the guidance of the doll, Li Pan and Li Pan entered the maze and met Yamazaki's friend in a villa-like bar.

Shoichiro Imai was lying upstairs in the bar lounge with a man and three women, drinking and chatting, using QVN to surf the Internet and wandering around in the world. The two came in under the guidance of a doll, and they also went offline and floated over to meet each other.

"Long time no see Ayato, sit down casually and want to drink something."

Li Pan took a look at the young master of the Imai family. Hehe, he is blond and blue-eyed. He has undergone plastic surgery to the point that his race has changed. His whole body is covered with level six prosthetics, and his spine is also equipped with an anti-gravity device. He is a superman in a literal sense. It can be seen that the full-body prostheses are luxuries that cannot be produced locally in 0791. The other people are similar. They are all surrounded by medical insurance players. They are obviously people from the same circle.

If there is any obvious difference from the people on earth, it is that these people in heaven seem to be very lazy and at ease. They are lying in this paradise-like garden, surfing the Internet, chatting and drinking. , enjoying a nearly long to endless life.

It is true that there is nothing to do. I am not the kind of social worker who works day and night, works overtime, works a side job, earns money, squeezes into the subway, and pays off the loan. These people are truly the rich second generation! Even though he doesn’t have much power, he is damn rich!

The ancestral pocket money can be squandered for hundreds of generations. Even if they lie there all day, watching TV shows, surfing the Internet, and drinking, the various assets in their accounts, banks, funds, and stock markets will be raised at home. With the hard work and hard work of the social animals, it continues to grow. What a small goal, like a Star Destroyer, it can be achieved in the blink of an eye.

And because there is no Chinese family name to bear, as long as you think about it and don't worry about the ranking on the board of directors, and don't scheming over Gao Tianyuan's shares, you don't have to curry favor with those young masters and princesses.

Even if the Ye Group is in power and they have money, they will still be valued customers and the most popular 'consumers' of Zhutian Company.

The stars and the sea, the bright future, and the infinite possibilities, this is the portrayal of life they were born with.

"Imai-san, this is Manager Li of our company. As I said before, we are here today hoping to purchase a collection from your family."

This boy Yamazaki is indeed an elite. His smile is like spring breeze, his attitude is sincere and polite, and he does not make people feel humble and fawning at all. Maybe he is handsome because of his social bonus.

"You kid, why are you being polite to me? When you come, have a drink first. I remember your taste, bourbon, right? Then you have taken it orally. Here is a bottle of my master's work, passed through charred white oak barrels. Twelve years of aging, the caramel and oak flavors in the mouth are very rich, but unfortunately it has been discontinued, you must try it.”

Imai Shoichiro landed with a smile and pulled Yamazaki towards the bar.

Li Pan also wanted to follow him and taste the aged wine, but Imai smiled at him and made an inviting gesture towards the private room on the other side.

"Manager, the things your company wants have been brought. You can go and take a look."

Oh! You won’t even give me a glass of wine! Snob!

Behind Imai, Yamazaki apologized to Li Pan with a wry smile.

Work was urgent, so Li Pan had no choice but to keep a straight face and follow the smart doll to the backstage of the bar to check the goods.

Arriving at the private room bar, the doll took a wooden box from the warehouse and opened it under Li Pan's eyes. The box contained the target of this purchase, the 'Golden Buddha'.

This is an ancient golden Buddha statue from Theravada Buddhism in South Asia. It is about 50 centimeters high. It is a unique vertical walking Buddha from the ancient Sukhothai Dynasty. The shape of the Buddha statue is characterized by a flaming halo on its head, a long face with conch hair, and an aquiline hook. Nose, broad shoulders and thin waist, use the fearless mudra with the left hand and the wishing mudra with the right hand. It symbolizes the Buddha's protection, preventing disasters, forming good relationships, increasing wealth, and ensuring peace.

This item appeared at an auction before. Due to its cultural relic and asset attributes, as well as its Feng Shui effect, the enthusiasm of businessmen was high. The final transaction price greatly exceeded the budget of the company's finance department, and it was auctioned off by the Imai family.

And given that Gao Tianyuan was at its peak at the time, nothing serious happened to these 'Golden Buddhas' sitting in someone's warehouse, and Monster Company didn't do anything to them.

Li Pan transferred to the prosthetic body of the intelligent doll through the QVN secure link, picked up the golden Buddha, weighed it and checked it. It was heavy, and the scan showed that it was indeed pure gold.

And through his own eyes, he could clearly see that the face of the 'Golden Buddha' was full of black energy, the fingertips of both hands were covered with blood, and bursts of black smoke were clearly emitting from under the gold foil of the Buddha statue. He was definitely a 'monster'.

Then Li Pan focused on the wooden box containing the Buddha statue.

This wooden box is made of sandalwood, with flowers, birds and beasts painted on the surface with vermilion lacquer. It looks like it is just for decoration, but when I touched the lid of the box, I found that under the silk interlayer, there were layers of talismans stuck on it. The golden Buddha emanated The black energy was sealed by these talismans. However, in order to avoid destroying the effect of the barrier, Li Pan did not tear it open to see the specific spell.

Even the storage measures for the monsters are shipped in one set. Sure enough, you get what you pay for. If you’re willing to spend the money, the ‘monsters’ will be packaged perfectly for you.

After identifying the 'Golden Buddha', Li Pan returned to the bar.

"The stuff is good, let's set a price."

Imai Shoichiro and Yamazaki Ayato looked at each other and smiled,

"Then I'll transfer it to you at the original price, 27 million, excluding tax. Do you want to see the invoice?"

Although the other party was quite easy to talk to, Li Pan's face still froze.

"Too expensive. Cheaper."

After all, the company's original valuation for this thing was only 5 million, and the budget was only 10 million, so it was forced to raise the price for these lucky plutocrats...

Imai laughed and said,

"Manager Li, you want to buy it. I'm not short of money and I don't have to sell it. It's very kind of me to transfer the original price to you."

Li Pan was also a little embarrassed.

"Get a discount and make a friend."

Yamazaki Ayato also advised,

"Yes, Ichiro. There are some things you don't want to leave at home, so why don't you just treat it like us helping you deal with a hidden danger?"

Imai Shoichiro was noncommittal;

"That thing has been in my family's library for so many years. It has no impact. It's just an object, so how can it have any hidden dangers.

Okay Ayato, I’ll give you face this time and take care of your business, so I’ll give you 25 million. "

Yamazaki Ayato also glanced at Li Pan. His business is interesting enough. Isn't it enough to lose two million for one face?

However, Li Pan was still in a dilemma. It was so much over budget, so it would be weird if the finance department at the headquarters could agree to it.

Imai smiled when he saw his expression.

"Can't you take this? Although my father often says that I am a prodigal son, I can't give it to you for free, right?

Ayato, I don’t mean to embarrass you sincerely, but since you came to ask about this item, I casually went online to ask for a quote. Look, it was given by someone else. "

Then he raised his hand and projected the quote from another company online.

Sixty-five million, excluding tax.

Well, who else could it be, the ACA Collectors Association.

"hiss……"

Good guy, the front foot is here, and the back foot is here to raise prices and disrupt the market, right?

Li Pan's face was livid, "Wait for me to make a call."

Imai also smiled and asked Ayato to have another drink.

So after Li Pan went out and talked with the headquarters for a while, he came back with a new quotation.

"We will pay 10 million..."

Imai Shoichiro smiled at Yamazaki Ayato and shook his head.

"Buy that box."

"Buy... a box?" Imai frowned, "In cash?"

Li Pan nodded,

"Yes, cash. Buy the box. ACA's quotation is for the 'Golden Buddha', so you can give it to them separately. You can still make another profit, so you won't lose anything."

Imai looked at him suspiciously,

"You really just want the box?"

Li Pan smiled,

"Only the box. And in order to prevent the monster from getting out of control, we can wait until you and ACA are transacting on-site before taking the box away. What do you think?"

"Oh, do you want to meet the people from the Collection Association?"

Shoichiro Imai thought about it for a while and then agreed. After all, the fight between the two companies had nothing to do with him, but he made 48 million in cash from this change of hands!

Even if the Imai family is not short of money, this is not a small sum. Isn't speculating on antiques just for investment? It's safe to leave the bag alone. When it's time to take action, businessmen will not be greedy.

So the two parties reached a purchase agreement, and the company spent 10 million to buy a box containing the 'Golden Buddha'. Now they are waiting for Imai Shoichiro to contact someone from ACA to pick up the goods.

Yamazaki Ayato said it was difficult to understand.

"Manager, is this really feasible?"

Li Pan nodded,

"The head office has agreed to my proposal. Is there a free market and free competition? The superiors also want to see where the ACA comes from and what confidence they have to fight with us. Of course, if they don't have the ability to take the 'Golden Buddha' out of the box, Come on, that’s none of our business. I’m going to take the box back today anyway, I said so.”

Yamazaki hesitated.

"But since ACA has poached so many people in the company, maybe they are prepared, right? If they can think of other ways to deal with the 'Golden Buddha'..."

Li Pan chuckled and said,

"Silly, why don't we just snatch it back? That's not all the monster mission is, just grab it and take it back."

Moreover, Li Pan estimated that the company would be willing to spend 10 million to purchase the 'Golden Buddha' anyway. When the time comes, he can snatch the 'Golden Buddha' back and sell it to the company, and he can still make a small profit.

In addition, to be honest, if the defense of this sky city was not too tight, Li Pan would have snatched the 'Golden Buddha' right now and sold it to ACA for 65 million... The monster is really valuable. …

But Yamazaki is still a little worried.

"Then if there is no box to preserve it, what if the 'Golden Buddha' really loses control and goes berserk? Will there be a disaster that destroys the City of Night..."

"Okay, okay, I just saw it, it's not something that will explode when you take it out. Didn't Zhang Lang also say that it's okay after so many years? It's okay, it's okay."

Imai also got in touch quickly.

"They immediately sent someone to pick it up, and someone will be here tonight."

Li Pan nodded and smiled, "That's good. I don't want to delay too long. It's best to end the transaction as soon as possible."

Imai also nodded and smiled, "Please look at that thing, Ayato, let's have two more drinks!"

Wow...this Akira is so annoying...
