Chapter Thirteen: The game is heartbeat (Part 2)
"It seems that this matter is probably true." Horii looked at the Black Storm members outside the door and said, "I just don't know what kind of storm it will cause. By the way, let Dagu and Lina not come back from Mars for the time being.
."
"Will they doubt us?" Xincheng frowned, this kind of thing made him feel disgusted.
"When we left, each of us took a set of Capsule Monsters as souvenirs." Horii said helplessly, "It's normal to be the first to doubt us."
"Damn it!" Although the matter had nothing to do with him, Xincheng still felt very uncomfortable being suspected for no reason.
"So, it is safest for Dagu and Lina to stay on Mars. At least no one will suspect them. Especially Dagu, his status is quite special. I am afraid that someone will use this matter to target him." Horii
He scratched his hair and said, "It's okay if the commander went to West Asia to serve as an instructor. I'm afraid we and the captain will face an investigation."
"Just check," Xincheng said helplessly.
However, Shinjo and Horii waited until the afternoon and did not wait for the internal investigators to show up, which made them realize that something was wrong.
In TPC's public relations department, most of the employees are overwhelmed, and most of them are busy dealing with the constant incoming calls. The repetitive tasks of answering calls, being scolded, and bowing to apologize have made their expressions a little numb.
This public relations turmoil is completely different from the past. In the past, they would not have faced so much abuse and accusations due to monster disasters. After all, monster attacks would only create opinions in a region. But this time the monsters attacked a city in Tokyo.
exchange, half of most investors' savings were completely evaporated.
"You have also seen that this is the situation now." Quan Teng said, standing next to Yoshioka, "If the news is leaked by the media, TPC is very likely to..."
"Where are those people?"
"It has been sealed." Quan Teng's eyeballs were bloodshot. "Their resistance was fierce, and two of them were even protected by forces from the lighthouse. There should be trouble in the future."
"Completely block the news. In addition, let Black Storm come out to find Kamiyajiichi." Yoshioka said, "I will visit Sanada Ryosuke and Masaki Keigo tonight to ask them to stop."
"Why are you looking for Kamiyaji? He has been missing for two years." Quan Teng couldn't help but frowned.
In the six months since Kamiya disappeared, they had indeed spent a lot of manpower and material resources to search for him, but in the end it was as if he had completely disappeared. He couldn't be found half a year ago, and even less so two years later.
"He is the only one who can stop this situation." Yoshioka took a deep breath, "He established the Sethek Foundation by himself, and he should have the ability to control the overall situation."
"Aren't you here to clean up his mess?" Quan Teng's mouth twitched, "Does his character allow him to agree to such a thing?"
"Let's find him first and then talk about it..." Yoshioka paused, "If we can't find him, we won't even have a chance to get a discount."
Sethek's office
"Several large Neon companies and group companies have withdrawn from overseas assets. Since they escaped relatively quickly, their financial status is pretty good." Hiroyuki Yamazaki held a report in his hand, "But their overseas assets are in relatively good shape."
My assets have gone through this blood test and my financial situation has become a little tight.”
"Are there any that can be taken over?" Masaki frowned and said, "Some overseas assets look pretty good to me. It seems like a good choice to take them over and run them ourselves."
In fact, almost all of Neon's overseas assets are high-quality overseas assets. After all, if it is not a high-quality overseas asset, no one will invest in it.
"It's still a bit early, and Wall Street and the venture capital industry haven't moved yet," Yamazaki Hiroyuki said. "Although we have made a fortune now, our funds are not strong enough, at least compared with those financial giants.
. Moreover, this time several oligarchs from the Polar Bear side also seem to be interested in these overseas assets. If we sell them now, there is no way to maximize the returns."
"Then what if the oligarchs in the west are unable to take action?" Masaki coughed, "I know this idea is a bit dangerous, but I think it can still be considered."
"What method?" Ryousuke didn't care about those idiots in Siberia.
"Aren't they always greedy for our auxiliary AI?" Masaki tapped his fingers on the table, "TPC is also greedy. In this case, let them compete fairly."
"What kind of competition law?" Yamazaki Hiroyuki was obviously not interested in Masaki's proposal, "This is the only thing we can restrict TPC. By doing this, you are giving our trump card to the other party, and then it will be in our hands."
No matter how much resources and funds there are in the world, they will all fall into the hands of someone who is controlled by others..."
"Second Army, those working guys were originally sent by major TPCs to study with us. Now it's time to release them." Masaki thought for a while and said, "By the way, release the list as well, let's call it a competition.
Tektronix laid off employees and they have successfully graduated."
"Are those TPC branches really going to rob people? Aren't these people sent by them to study?" Liangsuke was not very optimistic about this.
"As long as one branch starts to grab people, it will be enough." Masaki is not in a hurry, "This candidate is not difficult to find, and the Far East Headquarters is a good one. As long as the major branches of the TPC are restrained, they cannot use their full strength.
If we participate in the competition for overseas assets, we will win."
It is reasonable and reasonable for the Far East headquarters to dispatch intelligence personnel or researchers from other branches.
Moreover, the Far East Headquarters' desire for AI auxiliary devices far exceeds that of other branches, many of which are the sworn enemies of the Sethek Foundation. The self-destruction of the Sethek Foundation has made the status of these radicals within the TPC a bit dangerous, and they need someone to prove themselves.
Opportunity.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Yamazaki Hiroyuki and Ryosuke were both deep in thought, thinking about the feasibility of the plan. Masaki’s proposed plan is feasible, but the price paid and the reward obtained
Whether it is directly proportional or not, they need to think carefully about it.
Although the Second Army is a reserve team and has not learned core technologies, if TPC really wants to concentrate on forcibly promoting the development of auxiliary AI, the Sethek Foundation's AI technology lead will not be maintained for a few years.
At this moment, there was a knock on the door, and then the door was opened, and the waiter's body fell to the ground.
Masaki and Ryousuke frowned slightly. This is the private estate of the Sethekk Consortium. Although the Sethekk Corporation is no longer here, it is still private property. Who is so arrogant? Breaking in doesn't count, but he even knocked people unconscious.
"Your subordinate is very dedicated, but he is also a bit annoying, so I knocked him out, don't you mind." Director Yoshioka walked into the conference room under the protection of two Black Storm members.
"Everyone has been knocked unconscious, what else is there to say?" Seeing that the person coming was Yoshioka, Masaki also suppressed his anger.
After all, he was Kamiya's former boss, and Yoshioka was considered to be on their side in TPC. Even now that TPC has gone into full-scale war with Sethek, Masaki would not be the first to kill him because of past friendship.
"I came here this time to act as a lobbyist." Yoshioka found a chair and sat down, "I can let the forces of the Cybertech Consortium have seats in the TPC Far East Headquarters. Now I just need you to let go.
."
"Fifteen seats, how many are given?"
"Three."
"No need to talk." Masaki said expressionlessly, "This condition is too insincere. One-third is the lowest number of seats that oppose the TPC's decision-making. Three seats can't change anything."
"This is the limit I can achieve. You also know that the current TPC has become a battlefield for all forces to compete." Yoshioka said seriously, "As long as you unite with other forces and get five seats to stand,
It's easy for you here."
"Director Yoshioka, I have a bad habit, and that is laziness." Masaki said with a slap in the face, "Why do I have to go around in circles when something can be done in one step? It's very comfortable to do it once and for all."
The expressions of Ryosuke and Yamazaki Hiroyuki changed instantly. They were just thinking about whether what Yoshioka said was feasible. What they didn't expect was that Masaki refused without even thinking about it.
"TPC is not a sheep to be slaughtered. The current TPC has already turned into a dragon." Yoshioka paused, "Are you confident of being a dragon slayer?"
"Then the premise is TPC, is it a dragon?" Masaki said with a smile, "Director Yoshioka, do you know what Kamiya is doing now?"
Yoshioka took a deep breath. Kamiya disappeared for two years. Who knows what he was doing? Could it be that Kamiya was behind this attack on the economy by the Cybertech Consortium, or was it instructed by him behind his back?
"What does he want to do?" Yoshioka's expression became extremely serious.
He knows Kamiya’s character, and he must retaliate. If he is really ready to take revenge on TPC for what it did to Sethek in the past two years...these revenges now are just appetizers at best. TPC is very likely to take subsequent revenge actions.
Can't bear it.
"What do you want?" Yoshioka's voice was dry.
"We will fight for what we want." Masaki shook his head and directly rejected Yoshioka's offer, "Besides, there is a high chance that you can't afford what we want."
Yamazaki and Ryousuke's facial muscles were already tense. If Yoshioka hadn't been there, they would have wanted to rush up, grab Masaki by the collar, and ask them why they rejected Yoshioka's offer of peace.
"Then let's decide the outcome on the chessboard." Yoshioka stood up directly.
Yamazaki Hiroyuki grabbed Masaki's collar, "What on earth are you doing?"
"I know exactly what I am doing? Do you think Yoshioka can really handle the current Far East headquarters?" Masaki's eyes were fixed on Yamazaki Hiroyuki, "If he could handle it, there would be no private talks today.
Already."
"You mean... Yoshioka is lying to us?" Ryousuke asked with a frown, "I know Director Yoshioka's character. He shouldn't do such a thing."
"With Yoshioka's personality, it is true that he would not do anything like deception." Masaki tapped his fingers on the table, "While he is here, TPC can live in peace with us. Once he leaves, or in other words, he is in TPC's
If we fail in the power struggle, we will have to rely on ourselves, and there will only be one end, and that is to be gradually cannibalized by those hyenas."
Hiroyuki Yamazaki and Ryosuke Sanada chose to shut up. Now that Yoshioka is old, he can only persist for two more years at most. In two years, it is almost impossible for Sethek to empty TPC.
Amid all the worries of Neon people, the weekend has finally passed, and the opening on Monday turned out to be all red. It seems that the rescue measures announced by Neon have had an effect.
But the expressions of various traders were tense. Although the stock market was in full swing, most of the increases were around a few tenths. Moreover, the stocks of each company were like sewing machines, going up and down, within a small range.
internal fluctuations.
As traders, they know very well that these large companies are maintaining their stock prices through capital injections and buybacks. However, the cash flow of these large companies is always limited. In the case of large-scale flight of retail investors and institutions, they
Can't hold on for long.
What is missing now is just the first person to fall.
At a meeting of senior officials of the Bank of Japan
"We can't go on like this. Many companies have already called and said they can't survive." A young banker stood up, "We have to give up part of it. This is the price. Those poor people don't have much left.
The value extracted is more important to those entrepreneurs and groups."
"You think we can get our money back if they file for bankruptcy liquidation." An old banker looked at his colleagues performing in front of him and said, "Once they collapse, we will face a large-scale debt default, and then there will be
I don’t need to say more about what happened.”
"Let them use their overseas assets to fill this hole." A middle-aged man at the head said directly, "If they are unwilling, then from now on, they will not even think about borrowing a cent from us on this land.
money."
"But what if they ask us to borrow money?" the young banker asked, "Now this is a bottomless hole that no amount of money can fill. I don't want to go to hell with them."
If these companies fail and banks default on their debts on a large scale and cannot repay previously issued bonds, the final result will be a run. What bankers fear most is a run, especially if they have a large number of bad debts.
But they also know that the liabilities of these large companies are too great, and the little cash from overseas assets cannot fill this huge bubble, unless they lend money to companies. But bank lending itself is also a gamble, and everyone is happy if they win.
If you lose the bet, you are not even qualified to go bankrupt.
But if they don't borrow money, once they can't handle it themselves, those guys outside will help handle it. They are very interested in controlling the economy of a developed country.
