  Chapter 79 Hero Goods

   "Sophia Amick, due to your irrational behavior in the boxing event that is detrimental to the company's interests, the company will lower your authority from the current sixth-level A to... sixth-level B."

On the small screen of the    videophone, an electronically synthesized face with no expression is displayed.

   This latest adjustment order from Gasboyne Authority has reached Sophia's bedroom in the Acropolis Mountain Villa.

   "Go away." As soon as she turned off the phone, she slammed the stand-up desktop videophone to pieces.

  What irrational behavior? Say it, say it clearly.

  Did she smash anything last night? Do you mean to make her think about it? It's because she lost the game.

   Sophia took a deep breath and walked to the bedroom terrace. From last night to this early morning, her mood was falling into the abyss step by step.

  Last night... She, Harato Yosuke, and others were in the high-rise private room of Shengshou Boxing Gym through the glass, watching how absurd and self-deprecating Elizabeth made those boxers excited.

   That guy is a top banker no matter what, he is the master of boxers, and he is considered to be one of them, but he messes with boxers... Elizabeth doesn't feel embarrassed, they all feel ashamed.

  However, probably because Elizabeth resolved a conflict and avoided losses to the bank, she received coordinated support from the United District, but her team retired and won, taking 30 million directly.

   This made all the blood eaters speechless, and when they evacuated from the boxing area, their mood was complicated.

  Intelligence also shows that Elizabeth publicly claimed within Seth that she also got a strange weapon.

   This boxing incident was all won by Elizabeth, and all by this traitor special handicap!

   "Ah..." Sophia let out an unwilling hiss, the sixth-level B category, she has never been lower than the sixth-level A category since she was born almost 20 years ago... She is the potential heir to Gaisboye!

   But now, she's been left behind by every other potential heir because she made mistakes and the others didn't.

  I do everything according to the dogma of blood eaters, and I have been working hard to become an excellent blood eater.

   And Elizabeth is rebellious in everything, and chose the **** hero type...

  Why is she now punished and Elizabeth is awarded, just because Sophia Amick is a six-speed?

  Sophia looked at the bustling scene of the central area at the foot of the mountain. There were many skyscrapers and no rain. The hologram above the Santo TV Building was particularly clear. A huge white-faced geisha was advertising a new laptop, which made her upset for a while.

   She called Haradou Yosuke using the drop-post videophone on the terrace, and got through after a while.

   "Yosuke, just because of your broken idea, I was demoted again."

  Sophia looked coldly at Yosuke Harato, who was sitting cross-legged on a tatami in a quiet room on the small screen. He was dressed in Haori again.

   "Everyone has been demoted to varying degrees by their own family." Harato Yosuke closed his eyes slightly, and continued to sit cross-legged, "Only because of the meaning of the United District, this will be the case."

   "You dropped too?" Sophia suddenly became less angry, "How much did it drop?"

   "It doesn't matter, what matters is why and where our club is wrong. The United District will punish us like this, which means that our handling is not the optimal solution, Elizabeth's is." He said calmly again.

   "I just don't understand..." Sophia turned to look at the central area, "It doesn't make sense."

   "It makes sense, think about it carefully." Harato Yangsuke said lightly, "We are young and full of energy.

   "Banks and corporations are always aimed at profit and domination, not fear and pain.

   "Blood eaters are not butchers or executioners, and the pure pursuit of blood eaters is profit. As for the darkness that occurs in the process of generating maximum interests, it is not its original intention, nor its pursuit.

   "But last night, after the fighters surrounded the streets, our pursuits slowly became personal and irrational.

   "Dear Sophia, capital has no morals and no dignity. If kneeling can get the most benefit, and it can add value, then capital will kneel. This is its basic logic. We have made human mistakes."

  "You mean..." Sophia is not stupid either, she shouldn't be sulking now...

   "Why do you think the Seventh Epoch is now the Libra Palace?" Harato Yosuke asked himself and answered, "For blood eaters, everything must be weighed. Whichever is more valuable and more profitable, choose whichever is the most valuable."

   "As you said, I have to apologize to Elizabeth?" Sophia couldn't help but said angrily, "Do you still have to apologize?"

  Yosuke Hara Fuji closed his eyes completely and said silently after a long while:

   "Elizabeth, she's found an angle on how to sell herself. She might not be Seth's heir, but she'll be a big part, a new giant neon sign.

   "Do you understand what I'm saying? She's not going, and Seth isn't going to chase her away."

  Sophia became more and more depressed, forcing herself to think calmly, "Do you think things will really be like this? Will there be business competition?"

   It is difficult for her to imagine that companies such as Santo and Gasboy have also introduced heroic characters in order to dilute Elizabeth's image value.

"It's possible," Harato Yosuke said, "it will be profitable. The problem is that the city won't buy it easily. If it's true, it's not in our best interests. If it's false, the streets won't believe it. .

   "So this has to be weighed, creating heroes can't lose money, and can't lose to the yields of other commodities.

"But as far as I know, as far as we Santo's previous actuarial calculations are concerned, the company's cost of creating and controlling a popular hero, as well as the loss caused by the systemic chain reaction, is much higher than creating and controlling movie stars and rock stars. of.

   "Heroes are difficult to build, but very easy to collapse. Because people have extremely high moral requirements for heroes, do you think heroes can be busy in this city? Even if people are happy for a day or two, they will eventually be disappointed.

   "But for the general public, stars are enough to intoxicate them. Stars are their heroes, make them crazy, make them obedient, and become the spiritual support for their survival.

  "And stars don't need to have any morals, especially rock stars, just release people's instinctive desire.

"Celebrities can also be mass-produced through advertising and high exposure. Once the company's resources are gone, they will fall quickly; excessive exposure and publicity of heroes will make people feel false. Heroes need to be created with the times, and big heroes are Leaders don't need others to give resources, but redistribute resources themselves, which is difficult to control.

   "So in general, stars are the best 'heroes' on the scales. As for Elizabeth's, it's not worth it."

After   Yosuke Harato said, he seemed to fall into meditation again, reflecting on the mistakes he made due to being dragged down by human nature.

   "Then Elizabeth..." Sophia said in a deep voice, after hearing what Yosuke said, she felt that selling heroes was not profitable at all.

   This angle of Elizabeth is not a big breakthrough.

   Twenty-eight main jobs, twenty-eight areas, and banks have set up as commodity sales.

   As a popular idol, the winners are singers and actors, and the reason is what Yosuke just said.

  The benefits of heroes are available to singers and actors; but the troubles of heroes, singers and actors do not.

   There are too many entertainment stars under the Mitou group, and there are also many sports stars such as racing drivers under the Gasboyne group.

   Some of these stars are extraordinary people, and some are ordinary people, all of which can create value and are easy to control.

   "Since this is the case, why does the United District support Elizabeth this time?" Sophia was really puzzled.

   "Elizabeth has advantages that cannot be mass-produced:

   "She's a real top banker, and she's a real hero. Also, she's beautiful and likable."

Harato Yosuke said slowly, "I don't fully understand the idea of ​​the Union District. But Elizabeth, seized the opportunity to sell herself last night, not only to the bank, but also to the street. Her value comes from the street to her. the opinion of.

   "Dear Sophia, our old friend, the fame is already on the streets.

   "Information says that the boxing area, the small flea area, the tripod area, the Kago area, as well as Kabukicho and San Manga...

"Anyway, it's all over the streets, see it as a quirk, Elizabeth Sterling, she's not just a banker anymore, she's 'the one with them' .

   "You know her, as long as she continues to run like this, her name will only get louder and louder."

  Sophia was full of anxiety, that is to say, Elizabeth, a hero commodity, cannot be copied, but has great value.

   This is her angle, her winning hand...

   But if the Heirs Club didn't engage in that fight, wouldn't Elizabeth have such a good chance.

   They have now given her 30 million yuan, and they have given her this great gift, which is basically a fulfillment for the other party.

   Now, Elizabeth can properly be her hero. Seth not only does not object but supports it, and even the United District wants to see how profitable this business experiment will be.

   "Yosuke, is there any way we can do to hit her..."

   "Not in a hurry." Harato Yosuke's voice was slightly suspicious, "I also suspect that Elizabeth got the help of some secret association, and someone who is highly taught her how to do it behind the scenes.

"The more than a year of activities she ran away from may not be as simple as we thought. I looked at the surveillance cameras in the square. The monk and Taoist priest went to the pile of fighters when they saw Elizabeth getting off the car. "

   "Then this matter has to be investigated, it has to be investigated!" Sophia said hurriedly.

   "You think no one has been sent to investigate?" Harato Yosuke smiled slightly, "If Liz can return, it is considered to be no problem. She is a conspiracy, Sophia, and all the ace heroes are gone."

  Sofia was silent for a while, "Then what are we going to do..."

"Let's wait and see, Elizabeth has a new product trial period, and we lack intelligence, and it is not wise to confront her now. As for the apology you just said, my suggestion is to apologize to her and make good use of your value as an old bestie. That's rational behavior, and it's in your best interest."

   "If you want to apologize, just say it yourself. I have another way to escalate my authority back!"

   Sophia didn't want to listen to him any more, and hung up the phone, still getting angrier the more she thought about it.

   She checked some intelligence information received on the videophone, and sure enough, as Harato Yosuke said, Elizabeth Sterling is rapidly becoming famous on the streets, becoming a friend of the boxing district, and becoming a talking point in many districts...

  Sofia uses her private satellite phone again to make a call without the risk of being eavesdropped by other companies.

   As soon as the other party connected, she said in a deep voice:

   "Carl-Wilson, if you can't find any more clues, I'll be very suspicious of your ability to do things."

   Those two possible street overspeed gears, as long as she finds them and controls them, she can turn it around.

Carl Wilson's voice came from the mobile phone: "Miss Amick, I already have a clue. There were only a few things in the online cowboy circle event in Streamer City that night. Give me a few more days, I will will find them."

   "You must not leak the slightest bit of wind." Sophia said coldly, looking at the bustling central area, she couldn't wait.

   But it must not become like Elizabeth's treasure hunt, surrounded by people from various companies.

   Even within Gasboyne, except for the previous report, she couldn't reveal new clues, and she had to hide it in every way. She is not the only potential heir, there are many people who want her to die.

   This time, she will use the strength of her private team to ensure that she can monopolize this achievement.

   Sophia can't guarantee that she can have the same good luck as Elizabeth.
