Chapter 136 The Middleman

The biggest difference between mercenary organizations and criminal organizations is not that mercenary organizations have few people and do not support useless people... but that mercenaries actually live based on the "platform employment system".

They do not contact customers directly, but find them through "lobbyists," or "middlemen."

It is impossible for mercenaries to know where their clients come from and what their identity is - this is to prevent them from being captured alive and tortured to reveal information that is detrimental to their clients if they fail in their mission.

On the other hand, those big and wealthy clients did not dare to meet the mercenaries alone.

These uncoded people without chips are all lawless villains. It's not surprising what they did... Anyway, the crime of "exile" is the crime of mercenary starting from the beginning, and exile is equivalent to the death penalty.

So they need a reliable "middleman" to serve as a platform.

The middlemen are given a 30% to 50% share of the tasks handled by the mercenaries. Although this share is very high, it must be given.

Because the mercenaries don't have chips, they can't spend the money even if they get it. They can only deposit the money they theoretically get with the middleman. No matter what you buy, you have to rely on a middleman to do it for you.

Of course, the middleman will not add extra money when purchasing on behalf of others, which is a small benefit.

And the middleman also has an "interest" service. If you deposit enough money in it, you can get quite high interest.

At the same time, the sale and payment of stolen goods during the "kidnapping", "robbery" and "theft" carried out by criminal organizations in Xiacheng District are also carried out through middlemen. The reason is still the same...the money they get is of no use.

Except in rare cases, credit sticks can be obtained. But not everyone can give credit points.

To take a step back, even if they get the credit stick, they still can't spend it as a code-free person - when they enter the store, the police will automatically call the police because the chip cannot be detected. They also deposit all their money with the middleman, and let the middleman do the purchasing for anything they need to spend money on.

On the other side, the victims in Uptown also hope to have a reliable middleman join them.

This can at least ensure that those in Xiacheng District will not tear up the tickets after getting the money, and will not torture or harm the kidnapped before getting the money; if something important is robbed or stolen, they will also It can prevent the wasteful situation of "stealing the most advanced prosthetic body and then dismantling it into parts and selling it as stolen goods". At least if you pay a little more money, you can get everything back completely from the middleman...

——Of course, intermediaries are not charitable organizations and they have no "legacy" function.

While you are still alive, you can also transfer the funds you have stored with the intermediary to other people.

But if those uncoded people die suddenly because of something before that, then their deposits with the middleman will be wiped out.

This kind of annexation of heritage is where the middlemen make the most of it.

That's why the middlemen offer them such high interest rates.

There is no doubt that this is a conspiracy.

Although the uncensored people live a life of today and no tomorrow, deep down in their hearts they all long for the day when they can quit and return to a stable and normal life. Their only hope is to save enough money from the middleman... enough money to stop them from doing these things.

But it's hard.

Mercenaries are nothing more than weapons, not human beings.

Criminal organizations can have many outlets for selling stolen goods, but mercenaries cannot. If they want to switch jobs to other middlemen, they may even be killed by their own middlemen directly hiring other mercenary organizations at their own expense.

After all, there are actually not too few people in this industry. As long as they are peers, they may hinder themselves.

It is entirely possible for two parties in the same matter to hire two different groups of mercenaries from two different middlemen and let them fight each other.

——The business war in Shangcheng District involved at least several hundred million-level profits, but in the end, a lot of uncensored people from Xiacheng District died.

The commissions of these uncoded persons may only add up to several hundred thousand, or maybe even less.

Even the money will most likely not be spent...those people will die for various reasons.

Even those mercenaries who have retired may be tempted by extremely lucrative jobs to return to work; or mercenaries who have not yet retired but have some savings may occasionally be issued tasks that do not seem that difficult.

But that might be a "death mission" deliberately arranged for them by the middleman. This is a less reliable and less honest task they gathered from their customers. However, the middleman will not refuse, but will send them to the appropriate mercenaries...the purpose is to make them fail the mission and die inside.

In this way, their money stored in the middleman will be swallowed directly.

If you accidentally leave someone alive, the other party may come to take revenge... So from this point of view, the middleman business itself is also dangerous.

Those who were not ruthless enough or too stupid have been gradually eliminated.

The middleman named "Grandma Lan" has been in this business for more than 20 years.

To put it less strictly, she was almost the earliest "middleman".

She started engaging in this business not long after it was born in Xiacheng District of Xingfu Island.

At that time she was called "Mother Lan", but now she is "Grandma Lan".

From this point of view, she should be a more reliable type compared to other peers.

The most important professional quality of an intermediary is confidentiality.

Bad Day claims that this grandma is trustworthy, so Russell will just believe Bad Day for now.

"I was introduced by Bad Day."

Russell replied seriously: "I want to inquire about some relatively high-level things."

Hearing this, Grandma Lan glanced at Russell in surprise.

"...I didn't expect that this new beloved hero would actually be related to the most vicious criminal."

"Why on earth is he called the worst criminal?"

Russell finally couldn't help but asked.

Hearing this, the old lady looked at Russell kindly: "Is this the question you want to ask?"

"...No, it's just pure curiosity. What I want to ask is other things...information about the directors of the head office."

As he said that, Russell glanced at Luo Su.

He didn't know if he needed to ask her to avoid it.

But Grandma Lan didn't mention it.

Then Russell suddenly realized that this highly prosthetic store manager should be Grandma Lan's bodyguard.

"This question... is of great value."

Grandma Lan bent her back and poured herself a cup of tea with a smile, and then poured Russell a cup of tea: "In this case, let's treat this question as a gift.

"That kid from Bad Day is known as the most vicious criminal... The reason is very simple. You should know that the memory of the elf director can be passed on to the newborn, right?"

"Yes, I think that is a special way of rebirth." Russell nodded.

"He killed two elf directors of the head office. He bypassed all surveillance and did not even appear in the memories of the elf directors... It was like killing each other in the gap of time. There is no doubt that it was The perfect murder.

"-But he always deliberately leaves letters claiming that he did it and that he killed this person."
