Chapter 208 The Asuka Group
Dangers and opportunities coexist, what Xu Yang has to do is to coordinate from top to bottom to ensure maximum benefits.
Before gradually spreading out the network of power and interests, now is the time to make full use of them.
"That's okay, let the chainsaw angels jump there first, and we don't want to mess around." Xu Yang said, "How much money can we use now?"
"A lot, I've never seen so much money in my life." Ge Chengqian found a gang financial report and handed it to Xu Yang.
With the funds plundered after defeating other gangs, the security fees paid by the company, the dividends of various properties under its name, the benefits brought by the leased land, plus bits and pieces of tribute and donations, the Katsuragi Gang now has about 27 million funds to spend. For use, the bonus obtained as a security contractor also received the first phase of investment, the amount is 4.5 million, a total of 31.5 million funds.
"Do you know anything about the operating conditions of the site? Do you know what everyone's main livelihood is?" Xu Yang asked, he wanted to know if Ge Chengqian had the ability to use the money well by himself.
"Most of them are small businesses, running game halls and setting up stalls. Since many factories have opened, there are also various small shops around the factories, and the wasteland has become lively." Katsuragi Asahi is very concerned about Aizu Castle, " However, a new vice has emerged recently, focusing on services of bliss.”
She sent the relevant information to Xu Yang. The Bliss service provider provided a chair that customers could sit on after swiping their cash card. After wearing the helmet, the electrode patches inside the helmet could conduct special pulses to the central nervous system.
Without any prelude, without any personal labor, customers simply press the button on the armrest to promote the excessive secretion of dopamine, and instantly reach the peak of multiple meanings, which is simpler than any entertainment activity.
The cost of pressing 1 second is 10 funds. Most people usually sit on this chair until they spend all the money in the card. This is a simpler and more direct form of entertainment than games and videos, and the addiction is even more terrifying. , All of a sudden, it caused a boom in Aizu Castle.
Especially in such a precarious environment, many people are willing to sit and sit frequently, wash away the sorrows of the first half of their life with the most explosive happiness, and earn a lot of money from the service of bliss.
"It's more harmful than stamps." Xu Yang felt the danger.
"Yeah, and it's self-service, no labor is required, and the franchisee only needs to pay for the equipment." Ge Chengqian also thinks it's not a good thing, "People with poor self-control will not leave when they sit, and press the button on the armrest The button refused to let go until the last penny in the cash card was spent, crying and howling on the chair, how happy it was before, how uncomfortable after spending all the money. So we banned them all, but there are still some people who hide These chairs."
Technology does not make everyone's life better, but makes people more decadent and see no way out. Xu Yang thought to himself.
"Except for this kind of harmful business, the main economic activities of Aijin City are indeed simple small business activities," Xu Yang said, "If they collapse one by one, the population will be wiped out soon. So what you have to do now The only thing we need is to use the funds at hand to ensure the survival of these industries, provide low-interest or even interest-free loans to ensure that they can continue to operate, and survive this most painful time."
"Give everyone money," Katsuragi Asaka understood, "Everyone will be very happy."
"How's the law and order?" Xu Yang was curious. "A lot of unemployed people have entered these days. I'm afraid the crime rate will increase sharply."
"There are good and bad," Katsuragi Asahi said. "After we defeated some gangs, we quickly took over many of their properties, including many apartment buildings. Recently, the population has flowed in. Many people asked me to rent their apartments to them. I just I didn't feel it at first, but later I was worried. I sent my younger brother to investigate and found that these guys secretly became second landlords, and then rented the house I rented to them to other people to make money from it. People who really want to rent are getting in trouble."
"Controlling the housing rent is the most important thing," Xu Yang agreed. "Many people come to Aijin City only because the rent is cheap. After all, there are too many occupations that allow people to stay at home. As long as they have an apartment room, they can Complete all activities. If people spend too much money on the most basic food and housing, there will be no spare energy to spend, and economic activities will be dead. What else?"
"There is also... unlucky guy." Katsuragi sighed lightly, "I was also worried about the troubles caused by the newcomers, so I went to see their settlements. There was a group of people who seemed to come by the same train, about three About 500 people now live in the abandoned tunnels, wilderness and iron houses in Pianmu District. The strange thing is that very few people commit crimes. Although no one cares about them, everyone is calm, patient, and helps each other Sharing food, exchanging job opportunities.”
"On the one hand, they are from Anjiu City. They have been 'educated' in the pure land of the century, and they are used to an orderly life." Xu Yang said, "On the one hand, people also instinctively seek a life of unity and stability. What you have to do is to publicize the decree , carry out the purpose of protecting the environment and the people, and punish criminals, we cannot chill the hearts of those who are kind-hearted and law-abiding."
"Yes." Akira Katsuragi agreed, "... Aizu Castle can't stand the big storm, I will let everyone take care of every block."
"The security defense and management of Pianmu District and No. 26 Heights will be entrusted to you," Xu Yang said, "Call Kong Tai here, I will transfer him from the Gecheng gang, and let him take charge of his duties."
"Transfer Kong Tai?" Ge Chengqian was a little frustrated, "I'm used to asking his opinion."
"If you want to be a leader, you have to learn to make up your own mind." Xu Yang encouraged her, "Trust your own judgment."
"Indeed," Katsuragi sighed, "I've been forcing myself to learn things and deal with all kinds of things. Maybe people have to be independent before they can grow. Then I'll go and call him here."
She leaves the office.
When Kong Tai came to see Xu Yang, he took off his helmet specially. Under the helmet was a weather-beaten uncle face with bronze skin.
"Boss Xu." Kong Tai greeted him.
"You doubled your shares in the New Aizu Security Company, and you will be fully responsible for the real military work." Xu Yang said, "You have to train a new army according to the standards of a large company, just like returning to the old army. Do it."
Kong Tai sat down on the chair properly.
"I like a stable and leisurely job now, and I don't have the energy to work hard anymore." He waved his hand, "And the New Aizu Security Company needs such a deputy like me."
"You brought a lot of mercenaries from the Boundless Organization," Xu Yang said relaxedly, "There should be some of them who are qualified for this position, please recommend it to me."
"Then I'll do it." Kong Tai said hastily.
If the former old subordinate suddenly changed and became the new leader who was on an equal footing with him, it would be too uncomfortable, and he might as well do it himself.
"Why is your original army called the Boundless Organization?" Xu Yang asked.
"The previous few partners longed for a free life," Kong Tai said, "so we all went to sea, but they didn't end well. Freedom...freedom has no boundaries, so it was named this."
"Freedom is like a bird, let's call it the Asuka Group." Xu Yang finalized, "Ge Chengqian's duty is to stabilize order and ensure the city's law and order. Your task is to promote a group of people with the most combat effectiveness in the gang to train They, train them into reliable armed personnel, your future stage will not be the small Aizu City, but to participate in corporate wars, I think this is not the first time you have set foot on the battlefield, no problem."
"Of course, the days of just licking blood with a knife are back." Kong Tai sighed jokingly, and then he didn't say a word, and gradually became silent and serious.
"These soldiers are not only selected from the gang." Xu Yang said, "What's more important is to train the most aggressive group of unemployed immigrants. Some people must have thought about fighting with the company, but they can't unite with friends. Unable to resist the order imposed on them by the company, they are devastated and can only accept the arrangements. But they still have a firm fighting spirit in their hearts, and your task is to discover and train them to accumulate strength for the ultimate challenge to corporateism.”
"That's true," Kong Tai nodded, "there are actually quite a lot of rebellious guys on the streets these days, many of whom were dismissed from other paramilitary organizations. Either accept them, or just watch them cause trouble and be killed .”
"Cultivating their professionalism and discipline is the key." Xu Yang said, "How many months will it take you to take shape?"
"Half a year." Kong Tai calculated, "According to the method of mercenaries in the past, enclose a land for me, start with low-intensity combat commissions, and I will bring you 2,000 professional security personnel in half a year. Standard calculation."
"Okay, I'll allocate as much money as you want." Xu Yang said, "After the troops you train take shape, and with the shuttles we already have, we can also participate in real wars, and we don't have to be limited to one city. land."
"I'm used to fighting all kinds of battles, but what you said before still surprised me," Kong Tai pondered, "Do you want to challenge corporatism? It's very difficult."
"It's hard to do, after all, it will be more spacious if you change the world," Xu Yang said, "Only then will we have a truly boundless future."
