The Giant Corporations that Started in Night City

Chapter 168 LA Alliance! I Want to Control the World's Troops!

Not long after, V arrived at the crash site of Sky-Sky-1, and he finally received a message from Song Zhaomei.

"V, you have to rescue President Miles before Hansen's Nether Dog soldiers arrive here. I will send you her location signal, please!"

After the voice fell, Song Zhaomei's voice was interrupted again, which made V, who was confused about the situation, feel very anxious.

"Damn... Why does Song Zhaomei always stop talking halfway, which makes me passive!"

V complained helplessly. The current situation is too urgent. If he reports the news to Li Ang while running, it will definitely be too late.

He can only follow Song Zhaomei's instructions and go to the location of President Miles, and rescue Miles as much as possible before Hansen's Nether Dog soldiers arrive.

Then find a way to contact Li Ang and report the latest situation here to him.

‘I hope it’s not too late…’

Thinking of this, V couldn’t help but speed up his pace.

Night City, Watson District, LA Company Headquarters!

At this moment, Leon was leading his trusted members Morgan Blackhand, Lucy, Mann Team, and other department heads of the company, facing the electronic screen in the headquarters hall.

The picture on the electronic screen was the scene of the heads of the European Community countries and the executives of various giant companies gathered at a table.

This unique large-scale negotiation meeting had a total of hundreds of people. Those who didn’t know would think it was a meeting at the United Nations.

Not long ago, the transcendental AI Europa, who returned to Europe, immediately issued corresponding reminders to the core executives of the European Community Alliance.

And informed them of the requirements of the LA company and the meeting for discussion.

Imprisoning the transcendental AI Europa, controlling the black wall that isolates the roaming AI, and collecting protection fees from the European Community Alliance Company...

Faced with this series of sudden changes, many senior executives of the European Community are still in a state of confusion.

How could the untouchable black wall become the property of other companies overnight? And they still have to ask them for protection fees. What kind of new fraud is this? !

It was not until the director of the network monitoring company came forward and issued a notice to explain the situation that everyone suddenly realized it.

It turns out that the transcendental AI Europa is real, and the black wall can also be controlled by the company.

But now, these things have all become the means of production of LA Company, and they can't grab them even if they want to.

[Mr. Li Ang, since everyone is here, let's start talking about business. 】

The person who spoke on the electronic screen was Knapp, who was previously a senior executive in the branch company of the trauma team.

Thanks to the continuous surge in profits after the trauma team reached a cooperation with LA Company, Knapp also rose all the way and became one of the senior executives of the European Community Union.

He appeared in this meeting, representing the interests of the financial owners of European consortiums. What Knapp had to do next was to have a dialogue and negotiation with Li Ang.

Knapp took a deep breath and tried to calm his inner restlessness. In fact, he and the company executives at the meeting had met Li Ang at the polymer conference some time ago.

The circle of top dignitaries is actually quite small. They almost know each other after meeting each other a few times, and Li Ang has long been an old acquaintance to them.

But in many cases, only old acquaintances have the opportunity and ambition to attack themselves.

For example, the current LA company was their partner a few months ago, but now it has become the "master" who wants to override them!

"I think Europa has conveyed my request to each of you. Now all you have to do is express your opinion."

"Accept or reject."

Leon didn't want to talk too much with these Europeans on this issue. It's just a matter of one sentence whether it's okay or not. There's no point in saying more.

"I think you all know what Europa conveyed to you. I don't want to repeat it a second time."

As soon as Leon finished speaking, there was a big commotion at the conference table of the European Community. These noble European elites had never been bullied like this.

Of course they knew what the conditions proposed by Europa were. Faced with Leon's blatant blackmail, the first reaction of the consortiums of the European Community was naturally anger.

But they also knew very well that they could not compete with LA Company on the black wall.

Because in this world, except LA Company, there is no other company that can control the Transcendental AI and control the black wall!

While everyone was discussing and arguing, Ms. Nadia La, the CEO of the Trauma Team, stood up and said:

[Mr. Leon, on behalf of the Trauma Team, I am willing to accept any requirements and conditions proposed by Europa. ]

[Similarly, I also support that the operation rights of the Black Wall should be owned by LA Company from now on, and LA Company should be paid a considerable amount of money every year! ]

[It is an honor for our Trauma Team to contribute to human network security. ]

As soon as these words came out, the executives of the surrounding companies immediately looked at Nadia with astonishment, contempt, and indifference. They expressed disdain for Nadia's fence-sitting style.

But compared to making the company survive and develop better, these people's doubts are not important to Nadia La.

As one of the few executives in the European consortium who supports Leon, Nadia knows what to do and when to do it.

Since the arm is destined to be no match for the thigh, don't bite the bullet and force the other party to feel sorry.

LA Company has just signed an agreement with companies all over the world on the Sky-Sky No. 1 airship to use polymer technology. For a company that controls such advanced technology, resistance is completely meaningless.

From the moment these executives signed the contract with LA Company, Leon has already controlled the future of the world, and he is already the most powerful person in the world!

And now Leon's LA Company can easily conquer even the macro-system of the transcendental AI Europa, which is enough to show that the current LA Company is no longer a giant company that the European Community can fight against.

In fact, if the Internet Monitoring Company had not taken the initiative to confirm the existence of Europa, there are still people who dare not believe that there is such a huge AI.

Nadia La had long realized the huge gap in strength between her and Li Ang, so she immediately agreed to Li Ang's conditions.

Because in this negotiation, these company executives had no bargaining rights at all!

After seeing Nadia La take the lead in surrendering to Li Ang, the second company executive also raised his hand to agree to LA's request.

Then came the third and fourth company executives who had previously held objections. Seeing that the situation was over, they had to raise their hands to obey.

There was no way. In the face of absolute strength, they wanted to refuse Li Ang, but they didn't have the confidence to say such words.

"Very good, you are more aware of the current situation than I thought."

Li Ang smiled. This group of European company dogs was more obedient than he thought. Li Ang originally thought that this group of people would argue with him, but he didn't expect things to develop more smoothly than he thought.

In this case, Li Ang continued to strike while the iron was hot and put forward the next condition to them.

Li Ang carefully planned such a big plan, not just to let Europa call this group of companies and hold a meeting to extort the little money in their pockets.

Controlling the Black Wall and collecting protection fees are not Li Ang's ultimate goal. What he really wants to do is to replace the world's largest alliance organization, the European Community, and establish a new LA Alliance headed by LA Company!

Times have changed, and now it is the world of LA companies.

Immediately, Li Ang said that he wanted to abolish the European Community and establish the LA Alliance. As expected, his idea caused the audience to be stunned and emotionally fluctuated.

Since the collapse of the United States, the European Community has existed on the earth for nearly a hundred years. The strong rise of corporate groups in various countries has also made the European Community, a corporate alliance, more and more powerful.

It can be said that the European Community is the most powerful alliance organization on this planet. They represent the most advanced technology, the most brilliant culture, and the most dazzling technological crystallization of human civilization.

But the LA company, which has only appeared for two and a half years, actually wants to replace their alliance and make them dependent on the LA company as a younger brother. How can they accept this!

Facing the criticism from everyone, Li Ang was not angry, but responded calmly:

"I am not here to discuss with you that I want to replace the European Community, but to formally inform you."

"Companies that want to join the LA Alliance must make up 60% of their own company's shares."

"And becoming a member of the LA Alliance will obtain the company's technology projects, including but not limited to polymers and transcendental AI Europa."

As soon as these words came out, it was like a bomb thrown into a deep lake, and it immediately set off an uproar at the European Community's 100-person conference table.

Giving more than half of the company's shares to Li Ang as the entry fee for the LA Alliance is simply outrageous!

It would be better to just say that LA Company wants to swallow up all members of the European Community!

Giving the operation rights of the Black Wall to LA Company and paying Li Ang a protection fee every year would be fine. After all, no company has the strength to take down the Black Wall.

Even for network monitoring companies, the scope of control over the black wall is limited to maintenance, and they cannot manipulate the black wall for their own use.

If the AI ​​technology level of LA company is strong enough to manipulate the black wall at will, then it means that they deserve to make this money.

The executives of various companies in the European Community can only accept the debt and pay the money, just as spending money to avoid disaster.

But if each of their companies is required to give 60% of the shares to LA company, it will definitely not work, because they really have this thing!

When Li Ang's request seriously infringed on the fundamental interests of these European capitalists, most of the executive members of the European Community instantly became angry.

Their attitude became tough and resolute. After all, cutting off someone's financial resources is like killing their parents. If the price of joining the LA alliance is to have their spine broken and become an obedient dog, then they would rather die!

Looking at the emotional and angry representatives of various countries around him, Knapp did not dare to follow them to make a fuss, because he knew that LA company could not afford to offend.

This group of people can curse and quarrel, but he cannot do that. He represents the interests of the consortiums of the European Community countries and cannot easily express his position in front of Leon.

Once he follows these people and talks nonsense, trying to argue with Leon, it is equivalent to defining the matter, which means that the European Community refuses to join the LA Alliance.

If Leon gets hold of this handle, the entire European Community company may suffer!

After thinking for a while, Knapp wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and then cautiously tried:

[Mr. Leon, the requirements for joining the association you proposed are too heavy for us. I hope you can lower the requirements appropriately. 】

While saying this, Knapp has been observing the changes in Leon's expression, fearing that any word he said was wrong and caused Leon's anger.

After all, he is just a senior company dog ​​working for the financial sponsors of various countries. He has very few rights to make his own decisions, and most of the time he still has to report to the boss behind the scenes.

At this moment, Knapp's headset was filled with the shouting and cursing of the bosses of various consortiums. The demands of these bosses were very clear, that is, to strive for as many rights and interests as possible.

Of course, the bosses of these companies would not be so tough as to tear their faces with Leon, so they could only rely on negotiations to ask for more benefits from Leon.

Facing the pressure of being blocked from both ends, Knapp felt like crying but had no tears. On one side was Leon, who held absolute power, and on the other side were the bosses of various giant companies who were aggressive.

He dared not offend anyone, and could not afford to offend anyone!

[How about this, Mr. Leon, we each take a step back, and each company dilutes 50% of its shares to LA Company as a threshold fee for joining the LA Alliance, but the European Community must continue to exist. ]

[What do you think of this request? ]

Knapp stared at Leon on the big screen, and he didn't even dare to breathe too loudly. He only felt his little heart beating.

This is a compromise he came up with after weighing the bottom line of Leon and the bosses behind the scenes.

Company shares have a lot of room for manipulation. If the elites who know a little about finance do some tricks, they can preserve most of the bosses' assets as much as possible.

But the alliance organization is completely different!

What can really make the European Community revitalized and have a steady stream of power is not the technological power of giant companies in various countries, but something called "rules".

Under the constraints of rules, companies in European countries can achieve efficient resource exchange without so much wrangling, which can minimize the occurrence of internal friction.

They can even work together and use their advantages to absorb and extort resources from companies in other regions to strengthen their own strength!

If the European Community disappears and is replaced by the LA Alliance headed by LA Company, it means that from now on they can only abide by the rules set by Leon.

Once a company dares to oppose the rules of the alliance organization, it will be eliminated and disqualified as a member, and the leader will let the newcomer take its place.

And that newcomer is basically the leader's man!

The more betrayers there are, the more power the leader has, so no one dares to act rashly in the alliance organization.

So Knapp and his bosses behind the scenes will try their best to let Leon retain the European Community, because they don't want to enter an unfamiliar alliance organization and start over.

However, how could Li Ang not know what this group of people were thinking? He did not accept or refute the other party's re-proposed conditions, but responded coldly:

"What I said just now was not to negotiate conditions with you, but to inform you. As for how you choose, I don't care."

"I only tell you that companies that join the LA Alliance are our own people, and those who do not join are outsiders. My attitude towards outsiders has always been very tough."

Li Ang's words were a naked threat to the bosses behind the scenes of the European Community. If it were him a year ago, Li Ang would definitely not dare to challenge these European consortiums.

But now he has the Infinity interstellar giant ship, the polymer collective nervous system, and the strongest combat power on the surface. He must completely decompose and dismantle the European Community as an alliance organization.

As a major alliance force that has lasted for a hundred years in the cyber world, either accept these old rich men as dogs, or uproot them and replace them with their own people.

No matter which method is chosen, it cannot stop Li Ang from controlling the world's troops.

All companies must join the LA Alliance!

At this moment, the European Community executives in the conference hall once again had a noisy discussion, and Li Ang did not stop the internal discussions of these people.

He took the initiative to give the executives of these companies three minutes to think.

When the three minutes are over, he will raise the threshold for joining the alliance to 70% of the company's shares.

In another three minutes, it will be increased to 80%, and then to 100%. The companies that have not joined the LA Alliance are Li Ang's enemies.

To deal with the enemies of LA companies, he can only carry out physical destruction!

Li Ang does not mind letting the AI ​​artificial intelligence control the Infinity mothership, stay above these companies, and launch a few small missiles for fun.

Give these pampered European elites a little shock of the interstellar giant ship.

As for the European Community's space-based weapon mass projector, that junky thing can't hit the earth even if it throws meteorites.

With the Infinity interstellar carrier, the meteorites were smashed by the Infinity's four 27-meter CR-038 electromagnetic accelerator cannons before they fell into the atmosphere.

Now Leon has the confidence to turn the table with these Europeans. If he didn't want to cause unnecessary casualties, he wouldn't even bother to negotiate with these European Community executives.

Just carry out physical destruction and that's it.

Just as the executives of a group of companies were arguing, Nicolo, the director of the biotechnology company, and Nadia La, the executive of the trauma team company, raised their hands again.

They are willing to give Leon 60% of the company's shares as a threshold fee for joining the LA Alliance.

[Mr. Leon, on behalf of the trauma team, I accept all the conditions proposed by the LA company and voluntarily join the LA Alliance. 】Nadia said.

Nadia La still had the same idea as before. Since she couldn't beat LA, she would join the other party calmly.

LA has the absolute strength to lead this meeting anyway. What's the point of discussing more? It's better to show loyalty and become a part of LA as soon as possible.

Following a giant boss like Leon, Nadia La believes that the rewards she and the company will get in the future will definitely not be less than the price she pays now.

At least two years ago, Leon did increase the profit of the trauma team tenfold!

[Mr. Leon, I also voluntarily join the LA Alliance on behalf of Biotechnology and am willing to pay 60% of the company's shares. ]

Nicolo followed Nadia and expressed his loyalty to Leon in time. After all, Biotechnology already had half of its shares in the hands of LA.

Even if Leon is given 10% more shares now, what can he do?

What's more, LA has not even disclosed the cold nuclear fusion technology yet. Once this technology is disclosed, these short-sighted European executives will definitely regret it!

When Nicolo and Nadia La both raised their hands to join the LA Alliance, the remaining company representatives began to waver.

Especially Knapp, the representative of the consortium forces of various countries, thought that since he didn't feel bad about selling his father's land, he might as well obey Leon.

Immediately, Knapp immediately sought the opinions of the bosses behind the scenes. Seeing that Leon seemed to be serious, they were a little scared.

The bosses behind the scenes of these companies are all smart people. Those who dared to risk the company's destruction and confront Leon head-on would have been kicked into the grave long ago.

Now the players who can stay at this poker table are all thousand-year-old foxes who have become smart. Each of them cherishes their lives like gold. They just want to wait for the other party to come out and be the first bird to come out.

But unfortunately, no one was fooled and took the initiative to stand up and be the first bird to come out.

After learning the opinions of the consortium bosses, Knapp was relieved.

Soon, under his leadership, the remaining company executives also expressed their willingness to join the LA Alliance.

However, before agreeing to Leon's conditions for joining the alliance, Knapp, on behalf of the consortium bosses behind him, made the only small request to Leon.

This request is easy for Leon to do, but it is also likely to disgust Leon, even if it is a small revenge on Leon.

[Mr. Leon, we do not object to your LA Alliance replacing the European Community, but please promise us that the New America must not destroy the Pacifica Regional Alliance. ]

[The states in North America should continue to maintain the status quo, because we do not accept Miles, an arrogant and ambitious man, to rule this continent! ]

Knapp spoke to Leon.

Obviously, the consortium bosses behind Knapp still think that Leon intends to use Miles's troops to establish a huge empire belonging to the LA company in North America.

Therefore, they planned to disgust Leon at this critical moment, forcing Leon to take the initiative to sanction Miles and stop the metal war.

However, what they never expected was that Leon and Miles had never been allies of interests, and their relationship was limited to arms trading.

Leon has even been infiltrating the internal personnel of military technology companies, bribing the executives of military technology, and controlling them for his own use.

And the next president of the New America has long been secretly determined by Leon.

As long as Leon is willing, he can support a puppet president loyal to LA company at any time!
