Night Hacker Chapter 79: Heroic product
"Sophia Amick, due to your irrational behavior that harmed the company's interests in the boxing area incident, the company will lower your authority from the current sixth-level A category to... sixth-level B class."
On the small screen of the videophone, an expressionless electronically synthesized face is displayed.
This latest adjustment order from Gaisborn's authority department was conveyed to Sophia's bedroom in the villa in the Acropolis.
"Go away." As soon as she turned off the call, she slammed the standing table videophone into pieces with a sullen face.
What irrational behavior? Say it, make it clear.
Did she smash anything last night? Do you mean let her reflect on it? It's because she lost the game.
Sophia took a deep breath and walked to the balcony of the bedroom. From last night to this early morning, her mood was falling into the abyss step by step.
Last night... She, Yosuke Harato and others were in the high-rise private room of the Katsusho Boxing Gym through the glass, watching how Elizabeth was absurdly self-deprecating, yet how excited those fighters were.
No matter what, that guy is a top-level banker, a boxer master, and is considered to be one of them, but he messes with the boxer... Elizabeth doesn't feel embarrassed, they all feel ashamed.
However, probably because Elizabeth resolved a conflict and avoided the bank's losses, she received the coordination and support of the United District. Her team withdrew but won, taking 30 million directly.
This left all the blood eaters speechless, and when they withdrew from the boxing area, they felt complicated.
The intelligence also showed that Elizabeth publicly claimed within Seth that she had also obtained a strange weapon.
This boxing incident was all won by Elizabeth, and all was won by this traitor!
"Ah..." Sophia let out a muffled hiss unwillingly, the sixth level B category, since she was born for almost twenty years, she has never been lower than the sixth level A category... She is the potential heir of Gasboyne ah!
But now, she's being left behind by every other potential heir because she makes mistakes and the others don't.
I clearly do everything according to the blood-eater dogma, and I have been working hard to become an excellent blood-eater.
And Elizabeth is rebellious in everything, and she chose the **** hero series...
Why now is she getting the punishment and Elizabeth the award, just because Sophia Amick is a six-speeder?
Sophia looked at the bustling scene in the central area at the bottom of the mountain. There were many skyscrapers and no rain. The holographic image above the Santo TV Building was particularly clear. A huge white-faced geisha advertised a new laptop computer, which made her upset for a while. .
She called Hara Fuji Yosuke using the videophone on the balcony, and it was connected after a while.
"Yang Jie, because of your broken idea, I was demoted again."
Sophia stared coldly at Yosuke Harato, who was sitting cross-legged on the tatami in a quiet room on the small screen. He was dressed in haori again.
"Everyone has been lowered to varying degrees by their own family." Yosuke Hara Fuji closed his eyes slightly and continued to sit cross-legged motionless, "This will only happen if it is the meaning of the joint district."
"You dropped too?" Sophia immediately became less angry, "How much did you drop?"
"It's not important, what matters is why, where did our club go wrong. The United District will punish us like this, which means that our handling is not the best solution, and Elizabeth's is." He said calmly again.
"I just don't understand..." Sophia turned her head to look at the central area, "It doesn't make sense."
"It makes sense, think about it carefully." Yuan Fuji Yosuke said lightly, "We are young and energetic.
"Whether it is a bank or a company, the purpose has always been to profit and rule, not to create fear and pain.
"Blood-eaters are not butchers or executioners. What the Blood-eaters pursue is profit. As for the darkness that occurs in the process of generating the greatest benefits, it is not its original intention, nor is it its pursuit.
"But last night, after the boxers lined the streets, our pursuit slowly became personal and irrational.
"Dear Sophia, capital has no morals and no dignity. If kneeling can gain the greatest benefit and increase value, then capital will kneel. This is its basic logic. We have made human mistakes .”
"You mean..." Sophia is not stupid, and she shouldn't be so sullen now...
"Why do you think the Seventh Epoch is now the Palace of Libra?" Hara Fujiyosuke asked himself and answered, "For blood eaters, everything has to be weighed. Whichever one has the most value and benefits, choose the one."
"According to what you said, I have to apologize to Elizabeth?" Sophia couldn't help but angrily said, "Do you still have to apologize?"
Yosuke Harafuji closed his eyes completely, looking silently thinking, and said after a long while:
"Elizabeth, she found an angle on how to sell herself. She may not be Seth's heir, but she will be a key member, a new giant neon sign.
"I say this, can you understand? She won't go, and Seth won't drive her away."
Sophia became more and more depressed when she heard it, and forced herself to think calmly, "Do you think it will really happen like that? Will there be commercial competition?"
It is difficult for her to imagine that companies such as Santo and Gaisborn also launch heroes in order to dilute Elizabeth's image value.
"It's possible." Yuan Fuji Yosuke said, "It will be profitable. The problem is that this city will not buy it easily. If it is serious, it is not in our best interest. If it is false, the street I won't believe it.
"So this is a matter of weighing. Creating a hero cannot lose money, nor can it lose the rate of return of other commodities.
"But as far as I know, based on our previous actuarial calculations, the cost for a company to create and control a popular hero and the losses caused by the systemic chain reaction are far higher than the cost of creating and controlling a movie star. , rock star.
"It is difficult to establish a hero, but it is very easy to collapse. Because people have extremely high moral requirements for heroes, do you think heroes can be busy in this city? Even if people are happy for a day or two, they will always be disappointed in the end .
"But for the general public, stars are enough to make them intoxicated. Stars are their heroes, make them crazy, let them obey, and become the spiritual support for their survival.
"And stars don't need to have any morality, especially rock stars, they just release people's instinctive desires.
"Stars can also use advertising and high exposure to mass-produce, and once they lose the company's resources, they will quickly fall; heroes who are over-exposed and publicized will make people feel false. Heroes need to be cast with the times, and great heroes That is to say, the leader does not need others to give resources, but redistributes resources by himself, which is difficult to control.
"So in general, a star is the best 'hero' on the scale, as for Elizabeth's kind, it's not worth it."
After Yosuke Harafuji finished speaking, he seemed to fall into meditation again, reflecting on the mistakes he made due to being dragged down by human nature.
"Then Elizabeth..." Sophia said in a deep voice. After hearing Yang Jie's words, she felt that selling heroes didn't make any money at all.
Elizabeth's angle is not a big breakthrough.
There are twenty-eight main positions and twenty-eight fields, and banks all have their structures sold as commodities.
As for popular idols, the singers and actors are the winners, because of what Yang Jie just said.
Singers and actors can have the advantages of heroes; but singers and actors do not have the troubles of heroes.
There are too many acting stars under Santo, and there are many sports stars such as racing drivers under Gaisborn.
Some of these stars are superhumans and some are ordinary people. They are all able to create value and are easy to control.
"Since this is the case, why did the United District support Elizabeth this time?" Sophia was really puzzled.
"Elizabeth has an advantage, the advantage of not being mass-produced:
"She is really a top banker, and she is really a hero. Also, she is beautiful and very likable."
Hara Fuji Yosuke said slowly, "I don't fully understand what the Union District thinks. But Elizabeth, seized the opportunity to sell herself last night, not only to the bank, but also to the street. Her value comes from What the street thinks of her.
"Dear Sophia, our old friend has already made a name for himself in the streets.
"Information says that the boxing area, the small flea area, the three-legged area, the Hexiang area, as well as Kabukicho and San Manga...
"Anyway, the word on the street is that it's a bit of a curiosity, Elizabeth Sterling, she's not just a rich banker anymore, she's with 'em That person'.
"You know her, as long as she continues to operate like this, her name will only get better and better."
Sophia is full of anxiety, that is to say, Elizabeth, a hero commodity, cannot be copied, but it has great value.
This is her angle, her winner...
But if the Heir Club didn't engage in that boxing match, wouldn't Elizabeth have such a good opportunity.
They gave her 30 million now, and they also gave her this big gift, which is basically fulfilling the other party.
Now, Elizabeth can be her hero in a proper way. Seth not only does not object but also supports it. Even the Union District wants to see how profitable this business experiment will be.
"Yang Jie, is there any way we can hit her..."
"Not in a hurry." Haruto Yosuke's voice was a little doubtful, "I still doubt that Elizabeth got the help of some secret association, and some experts taught her how to do it behind the scenes.
"The activities of her running away for more than a year may not be as simple as we thought. I watched the surveillance of the square. The monk and the Taoist priest only walked into the crowd of boxers when they saw Elizabeth get off the car. Go."
"Then this matter needs to be investigated, it must be investigated!" Sophia hurriedly said.
"Do you think that no one was sent to investigate?" Hara Fuji Yosuke smiled slightly, "It is considered that there is no problem if Liz can return. She is a conspiracy where Sophia and the ace hero all leave."
Sophia was silent for a while, "Then what shall we do..."
"Wait and see, Elizabeth got a new product trial period, and we lack information~IndoMTL.com~ It is not wise to confront her now. As for the apology you just said, my suggestion is to apologize to her and use it well. Your value as an old girlfriend, this is a rational behavior, and it is your best interest."
"If you want to apologize, you can go on your own. I have other ways to restore the authority!"
Sophia didn't want to listen to him anymore, so she hung up the phone, still getting more and more angry.
She checked the intelligence information received on some videophones, and sure enough, as Yosuke Harato said, Elizabeth Sterling is quickly becoming famous on the street, becoming a friend in the boxing district, and becoming a talking point in many districts...
Sophia then used her private satellite phone to make a call that would not have the risk of being tapped by other companies.
As soon as the other party connected, she said in a low voice:
"Carl Wilson, if you can't find any more clues, I will doubt your ability to do things."
Those two potential street overdrivers, just find them and control them, and she can turn the tables.
The voice of Carl Wilson came out of the phone: "Miss Amick, I already have clues. There were only a few of the big events in the Internet cowboy circle in Liuguang City that night. Give me a few more God, I'll find them."
"There must be no leaks." Sophia said coldly, looking at the bustling central area, she couldn't wait.
But it must not become like Elizabeth's treasure hunt, surrounded by people from various companies.
Even within Gaisborn, except for the previous report, she couldn't disclose new clues, and she had to hide them in every way. She is not the only potential heir, there are many people who want her dead.
This time she will use her private team to ensure that she can monopolize this achievement.
Sophia can't guarantee that she will have the **** luck like Elizabeth.
