Chapter 526 Special Press Conference
Think about it, one day in the future, your old company, which once kicked you away and drove you away as a consumable and a scapegoat, will look at the giant Mackinac Company and bow in front of you.
You can even give your mother a slap!
Although it is an old-fashioned story of revenge and counterattack, no one can refuse to be the protagonist.
Sherman is a very enterprising and adventurous guy, otherwise he would not be where he is today:
It was he who proposed the Mackinac brand plan, and it was he who took the initiative to take on this obviously risky job.
My mood fell from heaven to hell, and now back to earth.
He now has two choices: First, hand over all the information he has, and then give all the Mackinac concept stocks to any company, just to be "clean" and become an ordinary person in the future. People, start working again.
But his resume is quite impressive, so he might be able to hang out with the old captain.
Second, selective cooperation, and then claiming on the spot that he is the entity company corresponding to the Mackinac concept stock——
Yes, everyone knows that this stock is a concept stock. In theory, it represents the Mackinac series of pickup trucks of Tingwei Company, but in fact, this stock has no corresponding real industry at all.
Concept stocks do need to be issued by physical companies, but they are actually highly speculative products. When the new owner, Hillman and his engineering team were fired, it became a company that had nothing to do with Tingwei. associated products.
Such products usually still circulate in the stock market, but will soon collapse and disappear over time.
What's more, this concept stock is actually tied to the results of the Burger King Squad. The more exaggerated and violent their activities within the rules, the greater Mackinac's reputation will be, and the higher the stock price will be.
It's different now. They used to be a mercenary gang, maybe with some illegal elements, but they had employers, some people had connections, and some people benefited from their actions.
Now an independent, internationally wanted criminal gang, all companies are operating.
Subtle changes in identity will also subtly change the nature of the stock. Subtle changes may accumulate into an avalanche-like collapse.
For example, if a company sells the 18 billion euros for cash at this time, this stock, including Mackinac, a brand that has caused a craze this year, will suffer a major blow, but the initial sell-off can make a small profit of tens of billions - cut some Leeks who are not clear-minded.
"So, about the criminal organization in Night City," Susan paused, "are you sure this is all the information the Burger King has about buying and selling idiots and big shots?"
Even the well-informed Susan paused instinctively when she read the name.
Especially when I think of someone with such a stupid name, doing such cruel things.
Sherman nodded with ease: "That's all. There are many technologies in the car that they made by themselves."
At the same time, listening to this conversation was not only Susan, who represented military technology on the surface, but also the network surveillance, Arasaka, NCPD and other companies that were interested in things here, who were secretly monitoring the situation here.
After hearing this, they all had similar thoughts:
Haha, rub your hands.
If someone else said this, they arrested Sherman on the spot: Dare you treat the company like a fool? Let him have a taste of what interrogation is.
But when it comes to Lille——
It turns out to be very reasonable.
After all, he conjured weapons-grade uranium fuel from his pocket like a magic trick, and then made a nuclear battery. The whole thing seemed sudden and outrageous.
Sherman was very cooperative and provided all the supply chain, resources and technology allocated by Tingwei Company to this special Mackinaw distribution. The authenticity of military technology is mainly determined from the supply chain link to determine whether there is any concealment.
From the perspective of the supply chain, what is shipped to Night City is either a finished engine or a semi-finished integrated electronic control platform, as well as some parts that require special process requirements. There is not much room for operation.
The supply chain processes of these products all take place in the new United States - taking place in the new United States is equivalent to taking place in the jurisdiction of military technology, which is very fast to verify.
[Lark: No problematic parts found. 】
The answer is surprising: all the processes of Tingwei Company are in compliance with the new US laws. There are almost no traces of abnormality. Even if you want to check carefully, it is difficult to find the entry point.
In other words, excluding the uncaptured production bases of the Burger King criminal gang in Night City, we only talk about Tingwei and Mackinac.
Can't fault it.
Damn, so the hand-rubbing thing had been foreshadowed for a long time, but they were still in the dark, thinking that it was really something outrageous that Mackinac Company had done.
Susan closed her eyes, exited the comparison provided by Hacker Lark, and went straight to the point:
"Then let's talk about the second thing, about Mackinac concept stocks."
"What's wrong? Are you talking about my personal assets now?"
Sherman acted like a miser.
The Mackinac concept stock is now worth 50 billion, because of the slight fluctuations in the nuclear explosion, but it is difficult for the avalanche to occur if the basic market does not move, not to mention that there are many illegal funds from illegal groups in the stock market, and some people do not think that a nuclear explosion is what it is. A big problem, unless the fundamentals start to sell out.
Sherman's stock is worth 18 billion euros. This number is also a very sweet dessert for giant companies. They have no reason not to take it if they can take it.
Although Tingwei Company said it could provide military technology, it had actually transferred its shares to Sherman. What they wanted was:
There's no way Sherman could hold on to this hot potato, right?
Unexpectedly, beyond everyone's expectations, he actually covered it up!
Tingwei's divestiture of Mackinac concept stocks is no secret to giant companies, so Susan was surprised. Surprised that this guy died?
If he handed over his things honestly, then he would be a pauper with nothing. Although he had nothing, he gained the trust of the company: they believed that he really had nothing to do with Burger King, and he had a good attitude towards admitting his mistakes.
But if he holds on to so much money, it will be hard to tell. Even if the company doesn't find any clues now, it will still keep an eye on him.
As for Sherman, before he met Susan, he was emboldening himself.
Feeling Susan's scrutinizing gaze stabbing him like a knife, he felt the pressure soar.
So he thought he should say something.
"I know what you are thinking, but whatever you say, I am overestimating my capabilities, I am looking for death, my brain is being eaten by zombies, but I
I love this money, I love this money!
Tingwei Company fired me, and I will start my own company, so I will not dispose of these stocks, understand!
Mackinac is the most awesome car! I want to start my own company! ! ! "
Sherman's voice roared loudly, and he originally wanted to portray himself as a calm and determined character.
But as he spoke, he couldn't hold back at all - there were only him and Susan in the room, this formidable human weapon.
Susan Frist is a "positive image" accepted by society. She is a special operations commander affiliated with the new U.S. Federal Department of Justice and a well-known "federal executioner" in North America——
He is the living legendary lone wolf who represents military technology!
In Night City, everyone is afraid of Arasaka Tower's bodyguard Adam Hammer, and being alone in a room with Susan will not be much less stressful than facing that murderer.
If he said he wasn't afraid, that would be a lie. After losing his prosthetic body, Sherman couldn't control his emotions at all. What he said next was just a roar.
Just as he finished yelling and blinked, he suddenly felt the top of his head being ice cold.
A pistol was placed on his head, a military technology M76E Omaha, a powerful technical weapon that fired not ordinary bullets, but solid metal missiles. One shot from this distance could blow his head off.
It was too late to regret, and Sherman felt the words stuck in his neck.
He obviously just wanted to invest in a group of mercenaries and gain some exposure to the underground emperor of Night City, so how did it end up like this?
In his mind, he remembered what Burger King had just said to him, and thought of those three completely reckless lunatics, who were also the lunatics who forced him to this point——
The answer is what Lille just told him: he always wanted a chance.
It's just that the more people climb up, the more worries they have.
And because he was afraid of losing, regretted losing, and afraid of losing, because he had clearly seen that everything was going according to plan, and that the elder brother he clung to had won the game and was about to reap the fruits, but he suddenly decided to become a super criminal and became the target of public criticism.
This contrast paralyzed him, disappointed him, and made him not want to work hard anymore.
Burger King reminded him: There is still a chance to win a big one - 18 billion euros. What kind of corporate dog can make so much money?
Life is very difficult for everyone in this world, and startups have to work hard.
My head is hot and my mood is unstable, but my thinking needs to be clear.
Sherman moved his head forward and pressed Susan's gun. He wanted to push the gun back a little, but he couldn't do it at all.
Susan's arm was as motionless as steel, and Sherman felt as if the skin of his forehead was sinking into the barrel of the gun:
“The Mackinac concept stocks have been separated by Tingwei Company. I have submitted relevant information to European banks and European securities institutions, registered entity companies, and will inject these concept stocks into the company in the future.
Its name is 'Mackinac Universal Vehicle Manufacturing Company'. It is a company with a market value of 50 billion. It may not be as good as a multinational company like Military Technology, but it is not a small factory that can be manipulated casually.
Now if you shoot me, the funds will be transferred to the next person, and then the funds will not be used to start a company——
The next person will use this money to hire the Arasaka Group, and they will definitely be happy to use the money to cause you some trouble.
They are listening, and you should know that they must want you to kill me right now."
Crushing him to death is just a small insect for military technology, but when competitors suddenly obtain tens of billions of funds, this is a huge loss.
Especially now that there is really little evidence that Mackinac has anything to do with nuclear bombs and other advanced and suspected illegal technologies.
Sherman grabbed the barrel of the gun, swallowed, and said with a ferocious expression, "Here, beat me to death."
Susan suddenly took away the barrel of the gun, turned around and left, leaving behind a sentence:
"madman."
Sherman fell over and hit his face on the table in pain.
However, his face was pressed against the table, but his expression was smiling.
It’s a complicated laugh, but it’s very satisfying.
[Old Captain: I have the guts to go, brother, this press conference was not bad, and it was very honorable. 】
I don’t know how many super companies are watching and watching this madman’s monologue. It’s like a press conference.
Although the public has not yet known about it, many of the top companies are listening to the conversation in this room.
Although none of the companies at the press conference took Sherman's Mackinac General Vehicle Manufacturing Company seriously.
"Damn it. One day I will kill you all. I will kill you all."
