Bronze door through time and space

Chapter 822 Struggle for power and profit
"They need Hell's Kitchen just like America needs the Federal Reserve." Peggy Carter's words were like a thunderclap, making Jin Bing immediately realize the intentions of those people.

Now Jin Bing is also considered a member of that class. They also focus on intelligence gathering and have access to many unknown secrets of the top leaders, including the Hell Ventures plan. Therefore, he understood it as soon as he heard it.

But it was precisely because he understood that he was shocked. How dare these people? !

Even with Jin Bing's ruthlessness, he couldn't help but take a breath. Sure enough, when it comes to inhumanity, those guys are still the most powerful.

Simply put, after the top leaders and capital contacted the devil and had plans to invest in hell, they needed a place that could store a large amount of hell currency and facilitate blood sacrifices, which would serve as the Federal Reserve and a money printing press.

Unfortunately, quarantine is the best option.

This place is closed and isolated, and is full of sinful souls that the devil loves. Most importantly, no one cares about them. Isn't this the Hell's Kitchen specially prepared for the devil?

The most wonderful thing is that there are no laws here, let alone disgusting human rights, and they are isolated from the world. They can start killing games at will, use flesh and blood as lubricant, souls as raw materials, start the hell's money printing machine, bribe demons, and invest in hell. Even if they go to hell after death, they are still high and mighty.

After understanding this, Jin Bing was silent for a moment, and then spoke slowly.

"I thought I was a sinner who did all kinds of evil, but I didn't expect to find a sense of superiority and frustration in these people. It turns out that I am not bad enough."

Jin Bing, who was not forced to kill his loved ones with his own hands and lost his humanity, is now qualified to say this. At least he has not degenerated to the point of treating people as currency.

"Politics is a dirty business in itself. Once it is integrated with the evils of capital, even hell cannot contain their sins." Peggy Carter sighed.

The more I understand, the more disappointed I am with humanity, but at the same time, I also understand Richter's attitude towards certain things more and more.

Humanity is not really worth saving.

Fortunately, everyone was a strong-willed person, and after expressing their feelings, they continued to take action, taking this opportunity to fight for power and profit. After all, they couldn't let those bastards get away with it.

Kingpin brought in Richter Company and announced that the land on Manhattan Island would be auctioned off to obtain funds for reconstruction.

This is the duty and right of the mayor, but whether it can succeed depends entirely on whether the capital gives face. After all, changing the mayor is not a big deal.

But what’s interesting is that, because of the support of the Richter Company, these originally worthless plots of land were actually sold at a high price, which was far beyond the expectations of many people. It also exposed these people’s determination to acquire Night City.

Since the purpose has been exposed and I haven't gained any advantage yet, I might as well stop hiding it.

The main reason is that they cannot get past Kingpin, the mayor of New York and the local boss, and they are even more unwilling to be an enemy of Richter Corporation, so they can only choose to compromise and cooperate.

This is a bit unlike the style of capital, because it is obviously more cost-effective to change a mayor and suppress a company that does not give face.

There is a reason why capital is willing to pay more and compromise, and the reason is very simple. That is, these forces also know something about what Nick Fury knows.

Although not comprehensive enough, the airdrop capsule that drops from the sky is the best sobering agent, making it easy for them to make wise choices.

Otherwise, why would the land in the quarantine zone, which should have been sold at a very low price, be sold at the price of downtown New York City?

Support the bottom, haha, do you really think anyone can support it?

If your fist is not hard enough, it can kill people.

Since the truth was revealed, there was nothing to hide. Compared with the high returns brought by Hell Ventures, a few US dollars were nothing, so Jin Bing soon got a large amount of funds, allowing him to make drastic changes to Night City. However, this did not change the problems faced by the quarantine zone, because not only New York, but the entire country and capital needed such a trash can to get rid of those useless people, so it was still easy to get in but difficult to get out, and it was almost isolated from the world.

But the government doesn’t care, the capital doesn’t care, Jin Bing doesn’t care, and it’s useless for others to care, so the decision was made happily.

With the influx of large amounts of supplies, the quarantine zone seemed to be injected with new vitality, making this forgotten land miraculously come back to life.

Modern industry has made construction as easy as building blocks, and the large number of local users of brain-computer exoskeletons has increased efficiency several times. Soon, buildings sprang up and were hung with a variety of signs.

These buildings belong to different forces, and they are not just for show. Both the personnel and equipment are top-notch. A considerable number of armed personnel are also stationed there. The total cost is not a small amount.

The reason these forces are so willing to invest is not only because Night City allows them to conduct various human experiments without scruples, but also because they want to occupy a place in what will become Hellwind's investment fund reserve.

Unfortunately, all parties realized it too late. Jin Bing, who had been ahead step by step, had already occupied the right time, place and people, and the territory left for them was too small.

The order in the quarantine zone was maintained entirely by gang members, and eighty percent of the gang members were directly under Jin Bing, and the rest also had to depend on his mood. It can be said that Jin Bing is the king here.

Now Kingpin has become the mayor of New York City again, with the support of the Richter Company behind him. He controls both the black and white military and political affairs. How can you compete with him under such circumstances? So you can only exchange interests, and this is also the rule of the game for their class.

The only question now is whether the other party is willing to play by their rules.

In fact, both Kingpin and Peggy Carter knew that they would have to make compromises next.

Now, Night City is about to become a new playground for capital. If you don’t let these big players in, believe it or not, the table will be turned on you.

They are afraid of the military power of Richter Company, but they are more afraid of losing the future market of Hell, so it is inevitable that Jin Bing's side will compromise on this.

But the premise of all this is that the other party must offer sufficient benefits in exchange.

As a result, various forces have invested huge amounts of money in Night City, making it difficult to tell whether it is a quarantine zone or the financial center of New York.

However, this did not improve the security in Night City. Instead, it got worse. Before, it was only gang members, but now the red-skinned and horned weirdos have also started to get involved, causing the conflict to gradually escalate.

It is obvious that these emerging gang members are the black gloves supported by various capitals behind the scenes.

Jin Bing was well aware of this, but his vision was no longer limited to the underworld, so he did not choose to stand firm and fight back with blood for blood and tooth for tooth. Instead, he used this opportunity to streamline his increasingly bloated gang and gave up a large amount of territory.

As the territory was vacated, the black gloves of capital from all sides fought each other, and Kingpin turned around and established the Night City Mobile Team and the Marginal Patrol.

The mobile team equipped with armored vehicles, armed helicopters and power armor, formerly the Radiation Mobile Team of Richter Corporation, is now responsible for the law and order of Night City and performs the duties of the police, that is, standing on the side of justice to beat up the black gloves from all sides.

The Marginal Patrol is similar to the National Guard, equipped with various heavy weapons and vehicles provided by Richter Corporation. It is responsible for the security of Night City's periphery, mainly targeting invasions of Night City by external forces.

The establishment of these two teams has increased Kingpin's power, making him truly like the king of Night City.

But as a price, he had to make concessions again to the New York police, coast guard, and National Guard, which had long been infiltrated, and almost lost most of his control. It can be said that there is gain without loss.
