Overturned Tower

Vol 2 Chapter 16: middleman

The biggest difference between mercenary organizations and criminal organizations is not that mercenary organizations have fewer people and do not support useless people... but that mercenaries actually live in a "platform employment system".

They do not contact customers directly, but find customers through "lobbyists", that is, "middlemen".

It is impossible for mercenaries to know where their clients come from and what their identities are. This is to prevent them from failing their missions from being captured alive and interrogating them for information that is not good for their clients.

On the other hand, those wealthy and big clients did not dare to meet the mercenaries alone.

These uncoded people without chips are all lawless villains. It's not surprising that they do anything... Anyway, starting out as a mercenary is a crime of "exile", and exile is tantamount to the death penalty.

So they need a reliable "middleman" as a platform.

The mercenaries have to give the middleman 30% to 50% of the tasks they handle. Although this share is very high, it must be given.

Because the mercenaries don't have chips, even if they get the money, they can't spend it. They can only deposit the money they get in theory with the middleman. No matter what you buy, you have to rely on a middleman to buy it on your behalf.

Of course, the middleman will not add extra money when purchasing, which is a small benefit.

And the middleman also has an "interest" service here. If you deposit enough money in it, you can get quite high interest.

At the same time, the sale and payment of the "kidnapping", "robbing" and "theft" carried out by the criminal organizations in the lower urban area are also carried out through middlemen. The reason is still the same...it's useless for them to get the money.

Except in rare cases, you can get a stick of credit points. But not everyone can give great credit points.

Taking a step back, even if they get credit points, they still can’t spend them as uncoded people. When they enter the store, they will automatically call the police because the chip cannot be detected. They also store all the money with the middleman, and let the middleman do the purchasing if they need to spend money.

On the other hand, Uptown victims also hope to get reliable middlemen on board.

This can at least ensure that those people in the lower city will not tear up the ticket after getting the money, and will not torture or hurt the kidnapped before getting the money; It can prevent the situation of "stealing the most advanced prosthetic body and then dismantling it into parts and selling it". At least if you add a little more money, you can get the things back from the middleman completely...

Of course, intermediaries are not charitable organizations, and they have no "legacy" function.

While alive, you can also transfer the funds you have stored in the middleman to other people.

But if before that, those uncoded people died suddenly because of something, then his deposit with the middleman would be cleared.

This kind of inheritance annexation is the big head of the middleman.

That's why the middleman will charge them such a high interest rate.

There is no doubt that this is a conspiracy.

Although uncoded people are living a day without tomorrow, but deep down in their hearts, they all long for a day when they can quit their jobs and return to a stable and ordinary life. Their only hope is to save enough money from the middlemen... money that will keep them from doing these things.

But it's hard.

Mercenaries are just weapons, not human beings.

Criminal organizations can have many sales points, but mercenaries can't. If they want to switch jobs to other intermediaries, they may even be paid by their own intermediaries to directly hire other mercenary organizations to do it.

After all, there are not too few people in this line of work. As long as you are in the same company, you may hinder yourself.

It is entirely possible for the two parties involved in the same matter to hire two different groups of mercenaries from two different intermediaries and let them fight each other.

The business war involving at least hundreds of millions of profits in the upper city ended up killing a lot of unscrupulous people from the lower city.

And the commissions of these uncoded people may add up to just a few hundred thousand, or maybe even less.

There is even a high probability that the money will not be spent... Those people will die for various reasons.

Even those mercenaries who have retired may be tempted to return to the rivers and lakes by the lucrative job; or the mercenaries who have not retired but have some deposits are occasionally issued some tasks that do not seem to be that difficult.

But that may be a "death mission" deliberately arranged for them by the middleman. This is the less reliable and less honest task they gleaned from their clients. But the intermediary will not refuse, but will send them to the appropriate mercenaries... The purpose is to make them fail the mission and die inside.

In this way, the money they save with the middleman will be swallowed directly.

If you accidentally leave someone alive, the other party may come to revenge... Therefore, from this point of view, the middleman business itself is also dangerous.

Those who were not ruthless enough or too stupid have been gradually eliminated.

And this middleman named "Grandma Lan" has been in this business for more than 20 years.

To put it less rigorously, she is almost the earliest "middleman".

Not long after she was born in the lower city of Happy Island, she started to engage in this business.

Back then she was still called "Mother Lan", but now she is "Grandma Lan".

From this point of view, compared with other colleagues, she should be a more reliable type.

The most important professional quality of a middleman is confidentiality.

Bad Day claims that this grandma is trustworthy, so Russell just believes in Bad Day.

"I was introduced by Bad Day."

Russell replied earnestly: "I want to inquire about some more high-level matters."

Hearing this, Grandma Lan glanced at Russell in surprise.

"...Unexpectedly, this beloved new hero is actually related to the most vicious criminal."

"Why on earth is he called the worst criminal?"

Russell finally couldn't help asking.

Hearing this, the old lady looked at Russell kindly: "Is this the question you want to ask?"

"...No, it's just pure curiosity. What I want to ask is something else... about the directors of the head office."

With that said, Russell glanced at the radish.

He also doesn't know if ~www.wuxiahere.com~ needs to let her avoid it.

Grandma Lan didn't mention it.

So Russell suddenly realized that this highly prosthetic store manager lady should be Grandma Lan's bodyguard.

"This question... is of high value."

Grandma Lan bent her back, smiled and poured herself a cup of tea, and poured another cup of tea for Russell: "In that case, let's treat this question as a gift.

"The child on the bad day is known as the most vicious criminal... The reason is very simple. You should know that the memory of the elf director can be inherited to the newborn, right?"

"Yes, I think that is a special way of rebirth." Russell nodded.

"He killed the two elf directors of the head office. Bypassing all monitoring, and not even appearing in the memory of the elf directors... It was like killing each other in the gap of time. It was perfect without a doubt murder.

"But he always deliberately left letters, claiming that he did this thing and that this person was killed by him."
