Chapter 1383 - 449: Industrial Upgrade_3

Chapter 1383: Chapter 449: Industrial Upgrade_3

Looking at market value alone doesn’t tell the whole story; Horizon Corporation is seemingly less significant than the Ye family, but once you step into Night City, you’ll see that nearly half the city’s population works for Horizon. This company employs almost as many workers as Huang Ban, and they’re all laborers.

That doesn’t even include the support from the Ye family and Huang Ban.

"...."

Upon hearing that the other party intends to take care of all veterans’ living and medical needs, Ron was somewhat incredulous, asking skeptically,

"Are you serious?"

"This is a live broadcast. Not only are tens of thousands of viewers watching from Detroit, but millions across the New American Federation and Night City are tuned in. I, Lin Miao, guarantee this with my credibility. I won’t let you down."

"The inspector team will be in Detroit by tomorrow at the latest. You can directly register with them then."

Ron bit his lip tightly, his body swaying slightly, holding back for several seconds before whispering,

"Thank you."

After Lin Miao returned to his seat, Brother Dao zoomed in the camera, giving Lin Miao sitting by the fireplace a close-up, signaling the end of the program.

Lin Miao calmly said,

"I believe New American Federation citizens still have a lot of questions regarding the new policy, but due to time constraints, I can’t answer them all here."

"However, this program will continue. On this day each month, I will report the progress of my work to all citizens of the New American Federation."

"Moreover, if there are any questions or difficulties in life, feel free to leave a message under this program section. My assistant Panam Palmer will do her utmost to solve problems for everyone."

"I am Lin Miao, Minister of the Efficiency Department of the Federation. I am very happy to hear the voice of every Federation citizen because it means my work has received your approval."

"See you next month."

At the end of the program, as the audience and several guests left one by one, Lin Miao called Walt over individually, pulling him into a private data space.

"Walt, I want to talk to you about something."

Walt felt ecstatic, though his expression was one of fear and trepidation.

"Mr. Lin."

Lin Miao gestured for him to relax.

"I know what you’re thinking, Walt, but if I were you, I’d best not do it."

Using this appearance opportunity to find a way back to being a manager at General Motors Company—it would be a normal choice.

But for an eager person like Walt, the best outcome is just a reinstatement of office.

In the highly capitalized cyber era, the flow of money must operate at the highest efficiency. This means savings, contradictory to efficiency, are not allowed; not only can you not save, but you must also consume in advance whenever possible, overdraw consumption.

Only in this way can capital maximize returns and growth. But it also greatly reduces your risk resistance capability. A slight issue causing a break in the financial chain can quickly lead to a vicious cycle, driving you to bankruptcy and becoming homeless.

If the Cleaners were still around, you’d likely not survive three weeks before being sent to the operating table.

The reason the Cleaners were called the Cleaners isn’t without reason.

It’s a stroke of luck this time, but he’ll revert to type when the next wave hits.

Lin Miao cheekily asked,

"How does it feel being homeless these days?"

"It’s awful."

Walt replied awkwardly and miserably,

"I never thought I’d end up like this one day; it’s like a nightmare."

"Now you should know, being homeless often has little to do with your abilities, right? You’re closer to them than you thought, maybe just a wall apart."

Walt understood Lin Miao’s implied meaning.

"Mr. Lin, please be direct. What do you need me to do?"

"I don’t trust those companies to do things honestly."

Lin Miao sat in the chair, crossing his legs, staring directly at Walt.

"But right now, I’m quite short on people, so I need a group familiar with their work style and insider details to help me address matters in Detroit...."

Walt first patted his chest and declared,

"Serving New America is every citizen’s duty."

But seeing Lin Miao’s lack of response, his mind raced for a few seconds, quickly supplementing,

"But serving Mr. Lin is my responsibility."

Trainable.

Lin Miao handed out a contact number, his figure vanished, leaving behind his voice,

"You’re not enough alone; on the streets, in bars, surely there’s a lot of losers kicked out of companies like you, I think you guys can form a Losers’ Alliance."

"This is my assistant Panam Palmer’s contact number. Gather the people, then contact her."

Exiting the Super Dream Headband, opening eyes to Panam’s angry face,

"Can you tell me what you’re thinking? So many technologies, you’re just giving them to those bastards for free?"

Even though Panam is somewhat illiterate, she knows very well the value of these new technologies.

Each one could allow Adcardo to live a much better life never seen before, yet Lin Miao decided to give these things away for free!

"Give it to them?"

Lin Miao stretched leisurely, loosened his muscles, and said,

"When did I say I was giving it to them?"

"What did you mean just now, aren’t you talking about bidding projects on the official website?"

"Remember when I mentioned the bait to you before?"

"Panam, this isn’t for them to eat. It’s for them to see. We’re just using this method to siphon money from their banks, reinvest in production. Once repaired, who owns the things is still open to debate."

"This is a nationwide industrial upgrade throughout the United States. Neither I, nor the wandering tribes nor the New Federation Government can achieve it alone. They must move on their own."

Being yours or mine,

isn’t it all mine?

Panam seemed skeptical,

"Give them the things, can you make them spit it out?"

"When it’s time for them to spit, I assure you they won’t be able to swallow a single cent."

Lin Miao said with a smile,

"Not only won’t they swallow it, they’ll even beg us to buy it back at a low price."
