Chapter 28 Billions of dollars invested to rebuild Watson District!

In fact, Night City is not the only one with a large number of unfinished buildings in Watson District. There are also many unfinished buildings in Pacific Island, Santo Domingo, Heywood District and other areas.

In addition to the external military threat and pressure from New America, it is also related to the numerous corporate forces and gangs within Night City.

In short, how to deal with the unfinished construction areas has always been the most troublesome problem for the members of the law enforcement departments across Night City.

A site like Westbrook District, where giant companies such as Arasaka Company and Yeshi Company invest heavily, is different. It is called a place of extravagance and prosperity, with music and entertainment every night.

Fortunately, now, Lucius has waited for the opportunity to change the fate of Watson District and regain its new life - tens of billions of investments from LA Company to restart Watson District!

"River, I'm going to the Red Queen Racing Club now to discuss the reconstruction of Watson District with Mr. Li Ang. You go with me and watch the situation outside."

Lucius ordered River.

The Red Queen's Race is a high-end Mewtwo club in Westbrook District. Lucius usually likes to go there to discuss matters with the powerful people in various regions.

"Yes." River Ward nodded and immediately booked a box with the club through the holographic phone.

Just as Lucius and River walked out of the NCPD branch and got into a private Goodra V-Tech luxury car, a street kid not far away followed quietly on a motorcycle.

They were specially monitored by the Tiger Claw Gang, and their purpose was to control Lucius's location.

Half an hour later, Leon and Lucius met at the Red Queen Racing Club.

Leon's personal bodyguard Mann and Inspector River stood outside the door, responsible for protecting the safety of their master.

"The king of weapons in Little Chinatown, Mr. Li Ang, I have long admired his name!"

Lucius's bloated face forced out a kind smile. He couldn't help but want to laugh when he thought that he was getting closer to the mayor's position.

"I don't want to take it seriously. It's just a small business."

Li Ang didn't talk nonsense to Lucius, and explained his needs straight to the point: "Mr. District Chief, I made a special trip to see you. I only hope that LA Company and NCPD Bureau will cooperate for mutual benefit."

"Of course, Night City is a company-oriented city, and we sincerely welcome every company that is committed to building Night City, regardless of background."

Before this, Lucius had speculated on the true power behind LA Company, but he could never find any evidence to show that LA Company was a subsidiary of other giant companies.

Since you can't guess the opponent's strength and background, you don't bother to guess anymore. Anyway, they are willing to cooperate with you, so why not do it.

"Don't worry, Mr. Li Ang. As long as you are willing to invest in large-scale buildings in Watson District, the rights and interests that your LA company can enjoy here will definitely be far beyond your imagination!"

What Lucius said was true.

After the nuclear explosion, Arasaka Company almost personally undertook the reconstruction work of Westbrook District, so Arasaka has an emperor-like presence in this city!

As the Arasaka Company's reconstruction area has gradually spread over the years, the influence of this giant company is slowly replacing the position of Ye's Company.

If this trend continues, Arasaka Company will build its own corporate school, corporate food factory, corporate bank... until it completely controls the city!

There was no way, who allowed Arasaka to have a lot of money to invest in infrastructure construction, but Ye's company, which made its fortune from infrastructure construction, was gradually declining.

"I invest in unfinished buildings in Watson District not to do charity, but to make money."

Lucius was embarrassed by Li Ang's outspokenness. He couldn't help correcting him: "Mr. Li Ang, this is an area to be developed, not unfinished..."

Hearing this, Leon couldn't help but smile, but he didn't expose Lucius's flimsy lie.

"I will first invest in rebuilding the medical center in Little Chinatown. The first round of funding will be about 50 million euros. First, we will get out the part responsible for prosthetic transplantation."

Prosthetic transplant? Could it be that... LA Company is also responsible for contracting the manufacturing and sales of prosthetic devices?

While Lucius secretly marveled at LA Company's weapons manufacturing capabilities, he also became increasingly convinced that Leon's background was most likely in military technology.

But what does this have to do with him? It's enough to have a financial backer who is willing to spend money to improve his political performance. As for other things, don't worry about it.

"Excellent! Mr. Li Ang, you really should do this! The medical center in Little Chinatown is only half of the amount of work to be completed. You have made a big mistake this time."

"Really?" Li Ang looked at Lucius with a half-smile, "As far as I know, if this large medical center wants to be fully restarted, it will require an investment of at least 1 billion euros, not including later operation and maintenance."

In fact, the medical center in Little Chinatown is planned as the largest medical center in the western United States, occupying almost 20% of the Watson District.

From site selection and construction to completion, at least 3 billion euros of funds must be burned. Except for giant companies with strong financial resources, few companies dare to touch this bottomless pit.

"Ahem! But haven't the basic frame outlines been completed? In short, if LA Company is willing to take over this hospital, I would like to thank you, Mr. Li Ang, on behalf of all the citizens of Watson District!"

Just when Lucius got ready to spin a bottle of brandy for Li Ang to express his gratitude, Li Ang raised his hand and interrupted:

"Mr. District Chief, we are all thousand-year-old foxes, so let's not talk about Liao Zhai here. I want the right to use the seaside entrance and industrial zone. Can you give it to LA Company?"

Li Ang said it was "right to use", but in fact he wanted to completely control the ownership of these two precious lands.

"Ah... let me think about it."

Faced with such an imposing and aggressive company executive, Lucius found that he had no control over the trend of this negotiation transaction.

"Mr. Lucius, you actually have no choice. The best way out is to cooperate with our LA company."

Leon's face was stern, and his eyes calmly stared at Lucius's eyes that were wandering around and slightly nervous:

"Besides our LA company, which other company in Night City would be willing to deal with this barren place in Watson District?"

"The Triads, which are fully armed and as powerful as the rebels in Dogtown, the Vortex Gang, which kills people like flies and does evil, and the Tiger Claw Gang, which stirs up trouble everywhere, I'm afraid even Arasaka has to weigh the situation."

Leon's words were like a sharp arrow piercing his heart, piercing Lucius's fat face red. Although he was very unconvinced, he seemed to find no reason to refute.

"Mr. Leon, I remember that the Triads seem to be the biggest customer of your LA company. Are you still worried about them?"

Lucius couldn't help but speak.

The Triads were clearly a gang created by the LA company itself with guns and equipment, so why did they blame themselves for their poor governance.
