Chapter 94

On September 2076, 9, when autumn began, the temperature in Night City in California dropped sharply in recent days, and the temperature became colder every day.And today, it was a light rain in the morning, so the whole city was shrouded in mist. The neon lights in the rainy day exude another artistic conception. The cool-toned neon lights match the rainy day, It will make people subconsciously feel the biting cold.

Just like Stephen Ann, he gathered his fur coat at this moment, and then wrapped himself up and stood in front of the store.

With an expression of disbelief on his face, Stephen Ann was looking at the opposite side of his store. An industry that originally belonged to the Sixth Street Gang was now owned by a marginal family. A major renovation is underway.

No, it's not quite right to say that. It should be said that the entire river valley area is undergoing tremendous changes.

It has been less than half a month since the Sixth Street Gang was destroyed. Stephen Ann never imagined that a family consisting of only a dozen people could really win the Sixth Street Gang, a big gang composed of thousands of people. , and they haven't been troubled by the Sixth Street Gang afterwards
The Sixth Street Gang has really disbanded now. Although there are still a group of guys who bear the name of the Sixth Street Gang, they are also hiding now because the Valentino Gang is beating the dogs in the water.As for the place on Charter Hill, ha, when the news from Stanley was broadcast, the group of young Sixth Street Gang members who were with the scavengers immediately distanced themselves from the Sixth Street Gang.

So now, in Santo Domingo, the most famous gang family has become a fringe.

A family gang with only a dozen people.

Thinking of this, Stephen Ann murmured: "My dear God"

"If a month ago, someone told me that the marginal people would win the Sixth Street Gang, then I would definitely spit in his face, but now"

Stephen Ann rubbed his hands together, let out a sigh of relief, on his thin face, a pair of dim eyes now became brighter, he lowered his head and said softly: "But all this is so real now, Santo Domingo , our homeland is really changing.”

Johnson, who was shopping in the store, heard Stephen Ann's chanting. He smiled slightly, walked up to Stephen Ann with his chubby belly and said, "Stop feeling emotional, buddy, this is already your No. 17 feeling about this item." It's over."

"Seventeen times? Did I actually feel so many times?" Stephen Ann was taken aback by Johnson's words.

Johnson nodded, and said with a smile: "It's okay in the past few days. Before, you had to feel emotional two or three times a day."

Touching the back of his head, Stephen Ann smiled a little embarrassedly, looked at Johnson Sun and said:
"It's just that I just didn't expect that one day, Santo Domingo would be able to settle down, without the intervention of big companies and NCPD, only relying on one family. But it can really calm down the next area. Who knows about this He certainly won't believe it."

"But that's the truth." Johnson shook his shoulders, his fat body swayed, he looked at Stephen Ann, and said, "By the way, what Mr. Lin Wen asked you to do, how are you doing?"

"Speaking of this matter, I have to complain to you, except for those of us who believed in marginalized people at first, now, only a few surrounding streets are willing to trust marginalized people, while other places are still stalemate.

Especially in the area of ​​Coronado Farm, last time I pasted Mr. Lin Wen’s recruitment notice, the local workers didn’t want to believe the fringe family, even if I told them, someone has already received it. A good salary. "

"But they just don't believe it!"

Stephen Ann lowered his old face, sighed for a long time, and he continued:

"But I can understand their feelings. After all, we people have been in contact with Mr. Lin Wen, and we know what kind of person he is, but they don't. In their eyes, Mr. Lin Wen is a man who destroyed Sixth Street. The gang is a big devil that is more terrifying than the Sixth Street Gang."

"Mr. Lin Wen is indeed an outlier in this city. He is too kind to us." Johnson rubbed his nose and said with a smile.

Johnson now calls Lin Wen Mr. Lin Wen, but before that, when Johnson saw Lin Wen, he always called Lin Wen boy. He used to pat Lin Wen on the back hard, and even called Lin Wen's. What about the son.

Thinking about it now, Mr. Lin Wen's mind is really broad.

"Anyway, go slow, Stephen Ann, Mr. Lin Wen trusts you very much, you must not disappoint his trust in you. It seems that he is now training you as a businessman from a marginal family."

"I know, just."

Just as Stephen wanted to complain, he saw a young man with sharp eyes not far from the apartment building. When he saw the man, he quickly turned around and shouted into the store: "Smoke, smoke, Magus, Quick, give me the cigarette!"

Seeing the boss yelling anxiously, an immature-looking young man knew what was going on in an instant. He ran quickly, and then he put two packs of traditional cheap cigarettes in Stephen Ann's hand.

In the past, only a few sticks of this kind of cigarettes were purchased in this store in half a year, but now, [-]% of the cigarette cabinets are filled with this kind of cigarettes, and these cigarettes are all prepared for one person.

Magus naturally knew who it was for.

"Hey, Johnson, Stephen Ann." A young man in casual clothes with no trace of prosthetic body embedded came over. He smiled and waved to Stephen Ann and Johnson who were standing at the door.

Both Johnson Sun and Stephen Ann bent down respectfully, nodded and said, "Mr. Lin Wen."

"I said, Johnson, we are friends, you don't have to do this."

Johnson shook his head, and said with a smile when he looked up: "No, this is the rule. You are the master of Santo Domingo now, and I can no longer treat you like before."

"Okay, okay, anyway, I can't dissuade you." Lin Wen took the cigarette from Stephen's hand, reached out and patted his shoulder, and said, "Stephen, help me get some food ,whatever."

"Yes, right away." Stephen Ann hurried into the store, snatched the bag from Magus, and ran to pack the food.

"How is the construction of my bar?" Standing with Johnson, Lin Wen knocked on the cigarette case, lit a cigarette, turned to look at Johnson after smoking it.

"It's halfway built, but it's been raining for the past few days, so... the progress will be a bit slower, but it will definitely be completed before mid-October." Johnson replied.

"Where's the auto repair shop on the side of the road?" Lin Wen asked again. He flicked the cigarette ash, smiled and looked at Stephen Ann who was loading food, bag after bag, and said, " Haven't found a suitable store manager yet?"

Almost all of the properties of the Sixth Street Gang have been swallowed up by marginalized people, and they are now in the process of digestion.

Although they are already trying their best to recruit people, and Lin Wen even borrowed a lot of talents from Rogge, the Sixth Street Gang has a big business after all, so even after half a month of digesting it, they still haven't been able to take over all of them. .

On the one hand, there are really many properties of the Sixth Street Gang. There are Sixth Street Gang gun shops, auto repair shops, old-fashioned bars, nightclubs, and even casinos everywhere in Santo Domingo.

But on the other hand, the borderline family's manpower is really not enough.

Although everyone is better than each other and they are all elites, it is of course impossible to rely solely on elites to manage the industry.

"I'm sorry about this." Johnson said apologetically, "Although we have told the locals in Santo Domingo that marginalized people are different from the Sixth Street Gang, many people still don't want to believe it. , They would rather pick up scraps and use their labor to earn low commissions than come here to apply for positions, they... are still afraid."

Lin Wen nodded, not surprised.

Although the marginalized people have a good reputation, it is only the generation in the commercial street of Hegu District. After all, with the help of the local residents such as Stephen Ann and Johnson, the local merchants use their personality as a guarantee, so that the marginalized people get the support of the surrounding residents. Granted, but somewhere else.
"They were oppressed by the Sixth Street Gang before, so they became wary, and the former Sixth Street Gang was also one." Johnson paused, his eyes darkened, then skipped the subject, and said directly: "So I hope You can understand."

"Don't worry, Johnson, I understand."

"It takes time to heal the trauma. Take your time. I'm not in a hurry. As time goes by, the residents here will know what kind of people we are."

Lin Wen looked at Johnson again, reached out and patted him on the shoulder, and said, "The relationship between marginalized people and locals in Santo Domingo is coexistence and symbiosis, not farmers and sheep. This will also be marginalized in the future. People's clan training."

"Do not rely on companies, do not oppress the poor, and form your own school. This is the marginalized people."

"Yes." Johnson nodded excitedly.

"Mr. Lin Wen, here we come. I've brought everything you asked for." Stephen Ann also came up to him at this time, with a big bag in each hand, and nodded and bowed in front of Lin Wen.

Lin Wen took the bag and looked down.

Well, all kinds of convenience food, and they are all expensive, and the texture and taste will be good, but the nutrition. Ha, then don't count on it.

Lin Wen put away the bag and picked it up, and said to Stephen Ann, "Hey, how is the matter I said going?"

An embarrassed smile appeared on Stephen Ann's face immediately, and he replied with a sneer:

"Sorry, Mr. Lin Wen, please give me a little more time. Those guys who don't know what is right or wrong are still thinking about it, but don't worry, the people on our street are guaranteed to be fine. I have received cover letters from many people, and they all expressed their willingness to work for you.”

"I didn't mention this matter. The workers' affairs are not in a hurry. I was referring to another matter." Lin Wen rolled his eyes.

Stephen Ann was always cautious in front of him, but in fact, Lin Wen was really a good talker.

I remember that before these things happened, I went to Stephen Ann's store to buy cigarettes. If he was in the store, he would laugh at the cheap cigarettes beside the cashier.

But now, ha, Lin Wen is actually quite helpless.

He really hates the sense of estrangement when getting along with others. After all, what scene has Lin Wen never seen?
"Ah, you mean about opening a school?"

Stephen Ann showed embarrassment, and he lowered his head and said to Lin Wen: "With all due respect, Mr. Lin Wen, it is really too difficult to accomplish this matter. There are only two schools in the entire Night City. School, and elementary school like you said is impossible in Night City, especially in our Santo Domingo."

"We are really poor here. It can be seen from the few sporadic entertainment industries that people here have no spare money other than food and accommodation. They can't spend entertainment, so they don't There might be money to pay for tuition.”

Stephen Ann said honestly.

The cause of this incident was that a few days ago, Lin Wen found him suddenly in the afternoon, and then asked him to find out how many children aged 6-14 there were in Santo Domingo. This incident scared Stephen Ann at first. , He thought that Lin Wen was going to do something cruel to these children, and he was very entangled. He didn't know whether he should help with this, but then Lin Wen said that he wanted to open a school in Santo Domingo.

Stephen Ann was immediately stunned.

Opening a school in Santo Domingo?

In addition to Yeshi University, the rest of Night City is Arasaka High School.

primary school?There is no such thing in Night City!

But Mr. Lin Wen didn't look like he was joking.
"You don't need to worry too much about this. All you have to do is help me sort out the number of orphans. I'll see how many children are of the right age." Lin Wen said to Stephen Ann.

Just how rich are marginalized people now?

Well, let's put it this way,

The members of the Marginal Squad have been able to stop working for hundreds of years and spend their days eating, drinking and having fun in the afterlife.

After all, the assets of the Sixth Street Gang have been swallowed up now. Although there are many omissions, and it has not been swallowed up until now, it is enough to feed thousands of people. Armed with thousands of people, it is used to feed More than a dozen people. Naturally, there are several 0s behind this.

The Sixth Street Gang has occupied Santo Domingo for decades, so of course the background will be extremely rich!

As for Lin Wen, he didn't open the school to cultivate high-level talents.

All he has to do is to open a private enterprise "primary school" and give priority to recruiting street children. The things he teaches them are also very simple, just some basic industrial knowledge. To put it bluntly, Lin Wen is cultivating new marginalized family members
As expected, Lin Wen still finds it hard to trust people he doesn't know well, so even if he is a member, he has to train himself!
"Yes, yes, I have already counted them all. There are now 413 orphans in the River Valley District. If you add the school-age children you mentioned, there are about 2000 children in total." Stephen Ann said.

He immediately added; "Forgive me, the locals in Coronado Farm are extremely repulsive to us, so... I haven't been able to collect the number of local children."

"413 people?" Lin Wen nodded.

"At that time, I will ask Qiwei to hand over to you. You can integrate the information of those 413 children, and then hand it over to Qiwei, and she will handle it."

"Are you really going to open a primary school? Do you want to admit orphans?" Stephen Ann said in shock.

"This will cost you too much money." Johnson said beside him.

413 children, that is 413 mouths!

Not to mention that [-]% of the children may suffer from diseases, and the medical expenses of these children will definitely be a staggering figure.

But Johnson certainly supported Lin Wen's approach.

The death rate of street children in Night City is astonishing, and the local Santo Domingo has reached an exaggerated number. Let alone street children, in Santo Domingo, as long as they are children, the possibility of premature death is terrifying number.

So if marginalized people can really gather children together and protect them
"Okay, you don't need to worry about these things. Besides, the money from the Sixth Street Gang is used, and the future is cultivated. They have to work for me, so I should invest in them first."

Lin Wen walked out with a smile, leaving Stephen Ann and Johnson looking at each other.

"Mr. Lin Wen, what's the name of your elementary school?" Stephen asked loudly.

Lin Wen raised his hand,

"Let's call it the Academy for Marginal People."

It's not good if it's too much trouble, the bar is called the Marginal People's Bar, the garage is called the Marginal People's Garage Repair Shop, and the school is also called the Marginal People's School.

 Thanks to the book friends: 1000-point mother from Dayin Xisheng, and 100-point mother from Qianyuemao.
