Chapter 15 makes its highly anticipated debut!

Recently, Little Chinatown has become a place of pilgrimage for many mercenaries in Night City. After all, only here can they find the weapons that allow them to become famous.

The reputation that the triads gained from the two gunfights also allowed them to obtain a lot of smuggling business from middlemen.

Of course, the focus of most attention is still Li Ang’s LA company!

Whether it was the wealthy and powerful people from Westbrook or the poor boys from Santo Domingo, they all showed great interest in LA companies.

You know, companies that can gain a foothold in Night City all have their own "unique skills".

The Ye Company, which built Night City, basically contracted the city's infrastructure projects, including bridges, tunnels, high-rise buildings, huge advertising screens and dazzling neon lights.

The Arasaka Corporation, which has a century-old history, has diverse industries including banking, security, schools, weapons, and prosthetics. It can be said to be the most comprehensive giant company in Night City.

The biotechnology company is related to the food, energy and fuel problems of the entire city’s residents. Without it, the city really cannot function.

Military Technology has been trying to gain entry through mercenary services and the quality of its weapons, but unfortunately, there are now a large number of independent mercenaries in Night City, and the competition is quite fierce.

There is no way. There are too many retired soldiers like Johnny Silverhand. On the contrary, the middlemen who are responsible for assigning jobs are doing very well and making so much money that they can't even count it.

Current military technology companies are not strong enough to integrate mercenary resources in the market, and their only income currently depends on defense orders.

But with the end of the Central American War, New America was no longer able to launch a new round of invasions.

Military technology companies that cannot get orders will of course have no funds to expand themselves, so their development progress is slow.

As for the international arms market, the situation of military technology is also very general. After all, it has many competitors, such as Constitution Military Industry, Dara Institute of Technology, and Hi-Tech Military Industry, which are also very good.

In addition, the terrible Arasaka Corporation has also joined the competition in the arms market!
On the surface, military technology ranks first in the arms trade market, but in reality, it is at risk of being replaced at any time.

In short, a company that wants to gain a foothold in Night City and build an exclusive corporate building in the municipal center must have solid capabilities.

The rising LA company is poised to sweep across the Night City weapons market and make a stunning debut!
This also makes countless people look forward to this company.

In the product competition among capital giants, the beneficiaries are always the consumers. After all, no one wants to use outdated and broken things every day. As long as the products are new and good enough, there will be no worries about sales.

……

Watson District, NCPD Division.

Detective River, who had just returned from the Kabuki District, had no time to catch his breath before he was called to the office by his boss, Mr. Lucius Lane.

Due to recent rumors that the city government intends to cut the budget of the NCPD, the police have been very busy these days, frantically arresting people with no background to improve their superiors' performance.

Although this may not have much effect, it can always leave a good impression on the people above. No matter how small a fly is, it is still meat. If they can cut less funds, they will be better off.

Soon, River came to an empty and clean office hall, where he could see the fat district chief, Mr. Lucius, who was thinking about something with a sad face.

Lucius Lane is a barrister from the Ye Company. He is currently one of the most promising candidates to succeed the new mayor, but compared to his competitors, he lacks some significant political achievements.

If he can sort out several unfinished large projects in Watson District this time, the position of the new mayor of Night City will basically be his!
But this matter is not easy to handle. "Mr. Lucius, you are looking for me?" River came up and briefly reported the work situation to the district chief.

"Arasaka Corporation is urging us to deal with the gang chaos in Little Chinatown and Kabuki District as soon as possible, otherwise they will not invest in large-scale buildings here."

Lucius rubbed his swollen temples. He had stayed up for several nights to deal with these things. He was exhausted but still had no good solution.

"River, what do you think?"

Lucius looked at his favorite Chief Detective, a shrewd man who was well connected in all the NCPD police stations in Night City. He was his right-hand man and would usually help with advice.

"This is not an easy thing to do. It's too difficult."

River shook his head, indicating that he was helpless.

Whether it's the Triads or the Tiger Claws, they are both tough guys that are difficult to deal with. With the limited manpower, weapons and equipment that the police station has, it is simply impossible to compete with these two gangs.

Recently, a so-called LA company has emerged, which has made the already powerful Triad even more powerful. I'm afraid that even if the terrorist squad arrives, they will be unable to do anything to the Triad.

"Those bastards from Arasaka Corporation, they knew that our police station was short-staffed, yet they still deliberately assigned the Tiger Claws to wreak havoc. They were just waiting for me to beg for help and ask Arasaka's security forces to take action!"

District Mayor Lucius gnashed his teeth in anger.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the Tiger Claw Gang is the security department of Arasaka Corporation, and they deliberately set up dangerous factors.

If there is no demand, then create demand!
The Tiger Claw Gang is responsible for underworld transactions and buying and selling, Arasaka Security is responsible for solving problems. Money and fame, good guys and bad guys are all controlled by Arasaka Corporation.

I have to say, these Japanese guys really know how to do business!

But Lucius didn't dare to provoke these desperadoes, otherwise they might block him on his way home from get off work and shoot him.

"The seaside and industrial area are our only bargaining chips. If we sell them to Arasaka at such a low price, how can I explain to Yeshi Company?!"

Lucius was extremely anxious. As a member of Ye's Company, he couldn't just watch Mr. Richard Knight's painstaking work being swallowed up bit by bit by Arasaka Company.

According to the legal provisions, Night City is actually a private property belonging to the Ye Company. Although there are investments from other financial groups, most of the rights they obtain are land use rights.

For example, the company plaza in the municipal center has exclusive buildings for Arasaka, Petrochemical, Biotechnology and other companies, which are high-standard treatments only available to original investors.

But with the nuclear explosion, a new Night City is rising from the ground and all interests will be redistributed.

The good places that Arasaka Corporation is targeting now are the coastal seaside entrances of Watson District and large industrial areas!

The waterfront area is one of the few coastal landing areas in Night City. Whichever company can control this Feng Shui treasure land will be able to do prosperous business.

Lucius and Arasaka Corporation are well aware of this simple truth.
