Chapter 16 This Li Ang is not simple!

"By the way, what's going on with the new LA company popping up in Little Chinatown? Do you know the origins of this company?"

Lucius asked suddenly.

As the top municipal figure in Watson District, of course he has heard about the LA company that has been booming recently.

But Lucius only knew that the boss of LA Company was Chinese and that he mainly sold weapons and equipment. As for the other party's origins and background, he knew nothing about it.

You must know that Lucius is familiar with the details of various companies in the Watson District and the weapons transactions in the underground black market. He even has some interests with many company executives and smugglers.

Only I have almost no impression of Li Ang’s LA company, which is a bit intriguing!

There are not many forces in the world that possess the power of advanced weapons and technology and can control the direction of public opinion in Night City.

This LA company is probably not a super military-industrial complex group led by the New American Congress and composed of multiple weapons companies. Otherwise, how could it have such a huge amount of energy to enter the game!

"Who is the boss of LA company? Do they have complete procedures and documents?" Lucius asked.

"I have all the information about LA Company, and I will send it to you via chip right away."

As early as half a month ago, Detective River was secretly investigating Li Ang's background, and now they have found something. At least they don't know anything about LA Company.

Immediately, the detailed information was transmitted to Lucius's brain through the chip, and he instantly knew Leon's personal information.

Li Ang was born in a small Fuze country in Western Europe. His parents are of Chinese descent. He graduated from a world-class local business school. He later worked in many companies and now founded LA Company.

In addition, the LA company’s registration information and related procedures are also complete and no problem.

All of Li Ang's information has been modified by the system, and there is no loophole in this world.

Therefore, after reading the information, Lucius could only regard him as a big shot with a corporate background.

"This Li Ang is not simple..."

Lucius nodded thoughtfully.

From the information sent by River, he learned that LA Company is not only a weapons manufacturer, but also a military technology company. Its industries even include aerospace vehicles and vehicles!

"We cannot rule out the possibility that the other party is a leather company."

Detective River was very cautious and did not easily believe the above information. After all, a company that could contract manufacturing of firearms and military products must be an industry giant after all.

But LA Company is only famous in Little Chinatown, as if it suddenly came by air. If this is the case, then there is only one truth!

——LA Company is a subsidiary of Military Technology!

When River told his guess to Lucius, he immediately received his confirmation. This was the most realistic possibility.

"Perhaps, we can use the power of military technology to make them fight dog with Arasaka Company, and we can reap the benefits!"

Lucius, who has been in politics for many years, is of course very aware of the stabilizing effect of the triangle structure on the situation. He would rather do nothing than make a mistake when he is about to be elected.

Even if he couldn't make progress in Watson District and gain some political achievements, Lucius would never let this hot potato explode in his hands!

At this moment, Li Ang from LA Company is the key figure to break the situation!

"What a good idea. In this way, the matter between the Triads and Arasaka Company is settled. This is a dilemma!" Detective River's eyes lit up.

As soon as his thoughts became clear, Lucius's face suddenly lit up. He excitedly picked up the brandy on the table and drank a few sips of it.

Military technology is backed by New America. If he can get some connections with people in Congress, even if Night City returns to the banner of New America one day, his position will still be as stable as Mount Tai!

Hedging your bets, this is what the political elite should do. As long as the seat under your butt is secure enough, it doesn't matter what the hell the company is.

"Do you want me to go find Mr. Li Ang in person and talk to you?" River asked.

Strong dragons cannot suppress local cowards. No matter how powerful the military-industrial group is when they arrive in Night City, they have to say hello to the NCPD Bureau, otherwise they will be like wild boys with no means.

"No."

Lucius shook his head, raised his hand to stop him and said, "Don't rush to alert the enemy. Wait for a while before going. Maybe Li Ang will come over to talk to us first."

In terms of interest exchanges, the party that takes the initiative will suffer the consequences. As long as Lucius secures the two treasures of the seaside and the industrial zone, Lucius will be in an invincible position in negotiations with the company.

Judging from the two recent Triad gun battles, Lucius guessed that Li Ang was the behind-the-scenes helper of the Triad, otherwise the Tiger Claw Gang would have no reason not to buy weapons from the LA company.

If this is the case, there is nothing wrong with sitting on the mountain and watching the tiger fight. It just so happens that the NCPD is a little unable to control the Tiger Claw gang. With the Triads here, it can just stabilize the situation in Watson District.

In short, no matter which force Li Ang belongs to, Lucius doesn't need to take the initiative to provoke him now. Not only can he not provoke Li Ang, he also has to find ways to win over him!

As long as Li Ang doesn't commit suicide and blatantly infringe on the interests of other companies, everything else is easy.

For Lucius, the most important thing now is to maintain the stability of Watson District and prepare for his own mayoral election in Night City. Other things are secondary.

"Just keep an eye on the movements of these two companies and gangs. As long as they don't act recklessly, don't alert others."

"clear!"

"..."

A week later.

Watson District, Little Chinatown.

Leon took Lucy and the members of Mann's team to Misty's psychic hut.

"Wow! Oh my god, look who I saw! Isn't this the famous Mr. Li Ang? Why, instead of doing your arms deal properly, why don't you come to me to tell your fortune when you have time?"

Misty, who was wearing thick smoky makeup and disheveled hair, stood in front of the bar and looked at Li Ang, smiled and said:

"You have brought so many people. You are such a good person. You come here specifically to take care of my business."

Since Li Ang's gun shop became popular in Night City, his network of contacts in Little Chinatown has also been rapidly expanded.

Misty in the psychic hut and Victor in the prosthetic clinic are all familiar neighbors of Leon.

Li Ang put his hands in his pockets, shook his head and smiled: "Sorry Misty, I came here today to find Lao Wei. Is he here now?"

"He is in his small clinic every day, either operating on people to transplant prostheses, or just watching boxing matches quietly. What? You also want to operate on people and get some prostheses in your body?"

Misty looked at Li Ang's slender figure and felt that stuffing some cold prosthetic body into it would somewhat ruin the body.

"No, it's not me who transplanted the prosthetic body, but this one."

Li Ang moved to the right, and Misty looked aside. The tall man with a resolute face was none other than the captain of this mercenary team - Mann!
