Chapter 103 Commission
After seeing Li Ang hang up the phone, Lucy wisely came to him and asked with concern: "What's wrong? Didn't you agree to go to the moon to relax? Why are you still busy?"
"No, Lucy, I'm not busy."
Li Ang shook his head and replied:
"I was just relaxing, chatting with others and doing some small business. These are just casual things, not tiring."
Although saying this is a bit pretentious, for a top giant company controller like Li Ang, this is the fact. By exchanging interests, each other can make a lot of money.
It's not like the gangsters in the street gangs, fighting to the death, only to grab defective products from the company's assembly line worth tens of thousands of euros.
For the top dignitaries, close combat can be left to lone wolves, and robots, soldiers, and fighter jets can also fight on the battlefield.
The only thing they have to do is talk.
Even if they really can't reach an agreement, it won't be the boss's turn to beat you to death, but the mercenaries who get paid to do things.
Even if there is a super lone wolf mercenary who comes to the boss himself, there is a high probability that he will just force the boss to sign an unequal contract.
Extreme examples such as Arasaka Corporation's direct use of soul killers to kill military technology CEOs and other senior management members are, after all, only a minority.
"Look Lucy! We're almost at the Crystal Palace!"
Just when Lucy wanted to continue chatting with Leon, Rebecca, who was lying by the window not far away, suddenly shouted in surprise.
On TV sets, elevator GG screens, and wall graffiti posters, the Crystal Palace, the miracle building of mankind that appears every day, is now right in front of their eyes!
The Crystal Palace is a very large space station built at a Lagrange point 380,000 kilometers away from the earth. It looks like a spindle and is surrounded by bright neon lights.
It seems like a delicate crystal standing in the universe.
The average price here is a hundred times higher than on the ground. Even a bottle of the most ordinary drink can be sold at a sky-high price that the poor cannot afford.
In addition, the Crystal Palace, a luxurious gold-selling place, also has a skin and meat farm called the Garden of Eden, where rich people can enjoy everything they want.
Moreover, it is not subject to legal restrictions on the ground, so the Crystal Palace is also an excellent escape place for many gang bosses who have washed their hands of themselves.
It makes sense to make illegal money on Earth and spend it legally in outer space!
After a period of landing on the orbit, Li Ang and his party soon arrived at the Crystal Palace site, where executives from Orbital Airlines also cordially received Li Ang's arrival.
"Mr. Li Ang, welcome to the Crystal Palace!"
The person responsible for receiving Leon is called Aaron Guthrie. He is one of the directors responsible for the daily operations of the Crystal Palace. This time he came specially to receive Leon on the order of the European Space Agency.
Although the ESA is indeed a well-established official force and is usually very cold and arrogant, they still take the attitude of the "God of Wealth" very seriously.
Aaron personally came to pick up Li Ang from the plane, not only because he was a shareholder of Trauma Group, but also because Li Ang intended to take over the airport and rushed to send money to Orbital Airlines!
The attitude of profit-seeking Europeans has always been affable towards big, wealthy customers.
"Mr. Li Ang, this must be your first time coming to the Crystal Palace. I can take you to visit the popular shopping places here."
"With your current worth, it won't be a problem for you to eat, drink and have fun here for hundreds of years. Haha, I'm sorry. It's my professional habit to choose people based on their 'money'. I hope you don't mind."
Aaron Guthrie made no secret of his money-oriented values, but Leon didn't have any objections to this, because poor people can't go to the Crystal Palace.
"Everything in the world is for profit, and all the hustle and bustle in the world is for profit. You have to pursue fame and fortune in order to survive. Compassion and love are what Jesus should do, and they have nothing to do with us."
Li Ang couldn't comment on Aaron's thoughts and ideas. After all, they were just looking for money, but he wanted them all.
"Well said, Mr. Li Ang! It seems that we have a common language."
Aaron raised the mustache on his lips and respectfully greeted Li Ang as he walked to the VIP-only route:
"Next, I will take you to the museum to see the latest art artifacts. I guarantee that this issue of human treasures will definitely open your eyes!"
The Crystal Palace is not only a gold-selling place with the utmost imagination that satisfies all human desires, but also contains all collections in the field of human art.
Because of the unpredictable wars on the ground, more and more museums and collectors choose to transport their treasures to the Crystal Palace for exhibition.
Although media reporters say that the exhibits sent to the Crystal Palace are all high imitations of one-to-one replicas, most people know that the truth is exactly the opposite.
The antiques left on earth are fakes, and all the treasures are in the museum of the Crystal Palace!

Night City, Company Square.
V has been feeling a little irritable recently, not only because of Johnny Silverhand, who keeps chattering in front of him, but also because of Goro Takemura, a lone wolf who is thinking about revenge.
During this period of time, Takemura Goro has been begging V, hoping that he will follow him to the Arasaka board of directors and testify that Arasaka Yorinobu is the murderer of Saburo.
But now V just wants to get rid of the troubles of Arasaka Company as soon as possible. He has no intention to help Takemura and get involved in the internal struggle of the Arasaka family.
Surviving well is the most important thing in V's life.
In order to avoid the harassment of Takemura Goro and take some private work to make some money, V accepted the commission from Mr. Jefferson, a member of the Night City Council.
This is the most suitable job for V to do recently, because he does not need to go out and fight with gang members to cause trouble, just to investigate the truth of some things.
If Leon suddenly needs V's help, he can withdraw from the task at any time and give priority to completing the tasks assigned by Leon.
Soon, V came to the entrance of the headquarters of the Night City Company according to the location provided by Councilor Jefferson.
"You must be V, right? My name is Sandra Dorset, and I'm an employee of Yeshi Company. Mr. Congressman is handling work upstairs. I'll take you upstairs first."
At this time, a female employee in a black suit and with neat golden short hair took the initiative to receive V and lead him upstairs.
The moment V saw this female employee, he suddenly remembered the female company dog he rescued from the scavenger.
Sandra Dorset!
It was because V inserted his data nanowire into Sandra's brain slot that he was infected with the residual AI data.
So V was very impressed with this female company dog!
"Ms. Sandra, do you still remember me?"
V followed Sandra closely and asked.
