death of hope

Chapter 59 "Flying Windfall" (59) Patriarch

On the TV screen, Julian, a reporter from the York City News Station, was standing on a dilapidated street with a microphone, and behind him was a wrecked armored vehicle:

"Another bloody day, the toll of this violence has yet to be counted, but one thing is for sure,
Cherry Blossom Co., Ltd.'s wind review was killed, and investors were worried about the company's massacre of trade unions. This sentiment was quickly reflected in the financial trading market.

As of the close of the day, the stock of Sakura Co., Ltd. has suffered a severe setback, and the number of votes for the mayoral candidate supported by the company is expected to continue to decline. This situation is undoubtedly a major positive for its competitor Raccoon Trading.

Today's business competition is becoming more and more violent and has no limit. It is worthy of our vigilance. The host of this station is connecting with the special guest Dr. Anton, professor of sociology at York City University, to hear the opinions of experts on this matter... "

The old wrinkled hand pressed the remote control and turned off the TV.

Matsushita Jubei, chairman of Sakura Co., Ltd., took the case:

"These bastards of the media! They must have received money from Raccoon Trading! You can only speak ill of us!"

The staff of the executives were well aware of the old man's fiery temper, and they all kept quiet. One of the executives said:
"It's because our headquarters building is in this city that competitors are going to make things so difficult."

"Since it has fallen into a downturn and the media public opinion has been bought by the opponent, how about giving up?"

Another staff member said: "For a multi-galactic enterprise of our size, losing a city has no effect. There are many headquarters buildings like this, and we just need to let the employees move out."

"What nonsense are you talking about! Is this about money? It's about the face of my Panasonic family!"

Matsushita Juhei was furious, pulled out a bright Nodachi from the knife holder, and walked towards the executive who had just spoken, so frightened that the other party knelt down and apologized repeatedly.

Although he was furious on the surface, in fact, Matsushita Juhei knew in his heart that what his subordinates said was fine,

He was put together by his rival, and the battle for the mayor of York City was probably over, but this matter couldn't be left alone, he didn't intend to suffer from being dumb, and he wanted to use the methods of the Matsushita family to retaliate.

He handed the knife to the bodyguard, coughed a few times, and said, "I want the head of the CEO of Raccoon Trading, but that's unrealistic. Since I can't hurt the owner, I'd better beat his hound. Our corporate fighters are all here On the bright side, it’s not convenient to do it yourself, you need the power of street gangs.”

A burly man in a white karate uniform and a samurai bun took a step forward and bowed respectfully:

"My lord, the Jizhen Group is always at your service."

Matsushita Juhei nodded, the Kyokushin group is a very good eagle dog for him,
This group of street thugs admire the ancient spirit of Bushido, but their style is more like a bandit ronin, which is suitable for some dirty work that is not on the table.

"Your enemy is the strongest local gang, are you confident?"

The head of the Jizhen team showed contempt:
"The Hessen family is just a group of cruel hooligans, and the Gokushin Group will let them see what true Bushido is!"

"Very good, very spirited!"

I believe that you can do it. According to the old rules of the family, I want the heads of the perpetrators to be placed in front of the armor of the previous family owners to wash away the shame of the stock being frustrated.

As for that nasty Jimmy Brown... He used his Automobile Industry Association to set me up, and he must retaliate with an eye and destroy his Hessian family!
Go gather your men now, I want to see the results within two days! "

"はい!" (Observe!)
The leader of the Jizhen team retreated towards the door, but was stopped halfway.

"Wait, there is a more important task,

According to our informant's description, the Hessian family got a complete set of battlecruiser control chips, and the most important main control chip is missing. I want your Jizhen team to continue to investigate this matter and get the chips. If it doesn't work, destroy it. Lose!In short, never let the raccoon business get it! "

"はい!" (Observe!)
Matsushita Juhei paced restlessly on the tatami, babbling about chips,

Every giant enterprise will encounter the same bottleneck period when it expands to a certain extent, that is, to consolidate its power in alien colonies.

Due to the rapid expansion of the sphere of influence of human civilization, the immigration bureaus and government offices of some remote planets are gradually breaking away from the control of the Terra Federation, coupled with unstable factors such as interstellar pirates and aliens,
If an enterprise wants to develop stably across galaxies, it is not enough to have interstellar cargo ships and mining ships, and it also needs the escort of the interstellar fleet.

However, the core military technology is still firmly in the hands of the Terra military, and major companies have begun to develop their own technology. However, the development cycle is not optimistic. The technical bottlenecks are mainly reflected in the control chip and large reactors.

The Matsushita family is a well-known family with a history of thousands of years. Each generation of patriarchs has achieved remarkable deeds and has the honorary title of warrior noble.

Sakura Co., Ltd. was just a small sewing machine factory at the beginning. After the unremitting efforts of the ancestors, it was passed down to the generation of Matsushita Juhei, and it has become one of the most powerful monopoly enterprises on Terra.

The family motto of the ancestors said: "Learning is like sailing against the current. If you don't advance, you will retreat." The same is true for family business management. If you don't occupy a broader market, you will be left behind by your competitors sooner or later.

The foundation laid down by the ancestors for thousands of years cannot be stopped because of his own incompetence.

Thinking of this, Matsushita Jubei cheered up his tired body, full of energy:

"Prepare the car! I'm going to the cyberhuman research institute."

Two hours later, the chairman and a large number of bodyguards appeared in the underground facility of the secret research institute.

The employees lined up to welcome him, but the old man seemed very impatient, and ordered everyone to return to work immediately, leaving only the chief designer to accompany him.

In the dust-free and static-free laboratory separated by bullet-proof glass, the cyber warrior "Cold Steel" has been unplugged from most of the power supply and life-support intubation.

There is only one data optical fiber connected to the spinal socket, and the ventilator tube connected to the lungs. The half-human, half-mechanical body has been repaired, and engineers and doctors are busy around him.

"What's going on? It looks terrible!" Matsushita Juhei was obviously displeased: "Look at him! He looks sluggish, the robot shouldn't feel tired."

The chief designer nodded and bowed, flattering: "After a series of software and hardware modifications, your son's mood is a little unstable, because his human brain thoughts interfered with the instructions issued by the chip."

"I really don't understand, can't we just abandon the brain? Is it okay to import the memory data to the hard disk? Or raise the authority of the AI ​​chip to the highest level?"

As before, the chief designer's answer is still no;
"Our AI smart chip does not yet have the flexible thinking ability of the human brain, nor can it control the body freely.

If it is just an ordinary robot, its intelligence and combat effectiveness will be greatly reduced. Now, half-human, half-machine is the best design solution for Cyber ​​Warrior. "

"Okay, I see, open the hatch, I'll go in and talk to him."
