The Creators: From Night City

Hands laughed and said, "Because it's illegal."

"Dog Town has no shortage of drugs, entertainment, weapons, medicines, and contraband, but there's one area that's still quite blank."

Jiang Bing seemed to be thinking about something.

"Luxury goods, luxury goods that can show off their noble status." Hanz's words seemed to penetrate human nature.

"High-end red wine, seasonal fresh fruits, various valuable pets, including the high-end organic meat you have been providing to Roger, are all things they are eager to get."

"As long as these things make them feel superior, they are willing to pay for them."

Hanz shared his business experience with Jiang Bing.

"No problem." Jiang Bing's reply was nonchalant, but with unquestionable certainty.

Hands took a deep look at Jiang Bing's face and put on a false warm smile.

"That would be perfect."

"However, the part I'm most looking forward to has not yet been mentioned, and it is also the most important part."

Hands turned around and poured two glasses of wine, handed one to Jiang Bing, then took out a box of cigarettes and placed it in front of Jiang Bing.

"tobacco."

Chapter 179: Meet the Cockscomb Paparazzi Again

Almost everyone in Night City smokes. The huge pressure of survival that permeates the entire society has made men, women, young and old smoke and become accustomed to smoking. They smoke a cigarette before meals or after sex to liven up the mood, smoke a cigarette to relieve the pain after being shot, smoke a cigarette to give themselves courage before robbing or killing someone, and smoke a cigarette to stay awake when working overtime.

The tobacco business is easier to do than the arms business.

Of course, there must also be huge profits.

There are many kinds of tobacco on the market, and electronic cigarettes compete with physical tobacco. In order to improve their competitiveness, tobacco companies will add addictive substances, stimulants, and even trace amounts of drugs to their products.

High-class people smoke cigars, low-class people smoke cigarettes, rich people smoke real tobacco, and those without money can make do with something that is a combination of technology and hard work.

Anyway, with the addition of various additives, the difference between what you smoke into your mouth and what you inhale into your lungs is acceptable. As for the possible lung cancer, let's wait until we live to that age.

However, the most dominant product in the market is genuine tobacco. Although the price is high, the original ecological product can never be matched by technological advancements.

This Solanaceae plant, native to South America, has a history as long as that of humans and has long been inseparable from the human group.

"Cigar leaves or cigarette leaves?"

Seeing Jiang Bing ask this, Hanz's eyes lit up obviously.

"We want everything, and we want it in large quantities. No matter what the quality, as long as it's grown from the ground, it's a good thing that's in short supply."

"Do you want raw materials or finished products?"

Hands was certain that Jiang Bing had the goods, and a sufficient supply.

"As I said, Saber, anything grown in the ground, whether it's raw materials or finished products, is a good thing that is in short supply."

Hanz nodded slightly, strengthening his persuasiveness.

"You're so confident, Hands, aren't you afraid of trouble from the tobacconists?"

"Night City consumes far more tobacco every year than you can imagine. We only take a small bite." The middleman smiled slightly.

"Besides, everyone has some 'business capital' of their own, right?"

Since the other party dares to say it, they are naturally confident that they can withstand the counterattack of their competitors.

However, these things were not easy to obtain in Jiang Bing's previous world. Tobacco is a very conspicuous commodity in any country, and the planting environment, methods, and post-harvest processing methods and levels all play a crucial role in the final taste of the tobacco.

However, the huge prospects described by Hands were enough to make Jiang Bing make a special trip to the New World.

“It may take some time, but supply is not a problem.”

"Great, I'm waiting for your good news at any time."

The two of them clinked glasses happily to celebrate the initial achievement of the cooperation.

High-end big business is done in such a simple and unpretentious way.

As for the subsequent specific trivial matters, Gloria's team will coordinate and negotiate with Hands' team.

Of course, the prerequisite is that the goods are in place.

Jiang Bing's eyes wandered around the casino, and a familiar figure caught his attention.

"Anyone you know?"

Jiang Bing smiled slightly, "Yeah, a friend."

"You can go down and play later and say hello. If nothing else, at least the anti-cheating and preoccupied club still has some credibility."

Jiang Bing turned back and said, "No hurry, Mr. Hands, I have one more thing I'd like to trouble you with."

"Of course, my friends' business is my business."

"Dexter Deshawn, he's hiding in Taiping State now, and I need the location of his hiding place."

Hands took the last sip of his drink and put it down. "Did he provoke you?"

"But this matter is difficult to investigate. Rumors are circulating that he has close ties with the Voodoo Gang, and I am also a middleman. I have a very sharp nose, and I am sure he will slip away at the slightest sign of trouble."

"But I believe that this won't be a problem for the uncrowned king of Taiping State, Mr. Hands, right?"

"Ha, that's really an exaggeration." Although Hands was so humble in words, his expression did not show any embarrassment.

"Give me some time. I need to dig deeper into his background."

Hands was just being modest out of habit, saying that he was the uncrowned king of the underworld in Taiping Prefecture. It was true that he could get into such a tricky place as Gou Town, let alone investigate a person.

The executive position of Peizhuo Petrochemical is not something that can be held by just a mediocre or stupid person.

"Thank you very much. Just ask how much you need."

Hands shook his head slightly and patted the wine box on the table. "That's a bit awkward. Consider it my return gift to you."

The two were in their honeymoon period before their collaboration, so the atmosphere in the private room was naturally harmonious.

After finishing the business, the two exchanged a few simple greetings, and Jiang Bing left the box and headed to the gambling table area below.

Gambling is like a mental drug. Once you become addicted, there is no cure.

But despite this, countless people continue to come forward, all because it makes gamblers happy, really happy.

Getting something for nothing is itself one of the ultimate joys of mankind.

William Johnson himself was not addicted to gambling, and his wealth did not allow him to gamble. If his employer had not helped him get the admission ticket, he would not even be able to enter the venue.

Just as he was apparently watching the progress of the game, but was actually using his newly modified artificial eye 'Recorder' to collect information about the target, he was suddenly patted on the shoulder.

The guilty paparazzi's body trembled and he almost peed a few drops.

He turned his head hurriedly and gave Jiang Bing an ugly, forced smile.

Looking at Jiang Bing, who was dressed in extraordinary clothes, he felt guilty and somewhat incoherent. "Hello, sir, may I ask you something?"

Jiang Bing looked at the paparazzi with cockscomb hair who had been with him on the mission, and found that he really didn't recognize him.

This is normal. Jiang Bing is now dressed in a suit and his demeanor is full of the air of a wealthy man. He is followed by a bodyguard. It is hard to associate him with the murderous cyborg doctor not long ago.

The other person also wore a handsome suit and combed his hair into an adult style.

Of course, it may also be that it has simply been too long and the memory has become fuzzy.

Not everyone has Jiang Bing's photographic memory.

So Jiang Bing could only secretly remind the other party.

"Christopher Miller Estate."

Only then did the other party finally react.

"Mr. Sable, is that you?"

Looking at the noble Jiang Bing, the paparazzi were filled with disbelief.

"Long time no see, you've got a new order."

The paparazzi's face changed and he quickly invited Jiang Bing to a corner.

"Mr. Sabul, what are you doing?"

"I came here to discuss a business deal. I didn't expect you to be right. I thought you took on another order to dig up dirt on someone. Aren't you afraid of being beaten up again?"

Chapter 180 Network Surveillance Agent

The paparazzi laughed awkwardly and said, "This job isn't that dangerous, and besides, we still have to eat."

"I'm hanging out with Regina Jones. She assigned me this job. Everything has already been arranged."

"The former war correspondent in Watson District?" The image of a female middleman emerged in Jiang Bing's mind.

William nodded.

"That's not bad. She has a good reputation in the underworld, and what she does is decent."

"Mr. Sabul, are you interested in participating in my commission?"

The previous collaboration between the two was very successful, and the paparazzi couldn't help but want to pull Jiang Bing in to complete this task together.

But seeing Jiang Bing's capitalist demeanor, the paparazzi regretted what he said.

"Just a quick chat?"

Jiang Bing was interested in his work.

"Did you see that man in the silver suit?"

The paparazzi was talking about a gambler at the card table, who was in his thirties, with a long face and a crew cut.

"Why, he is also a director of a medical group?"

The paparazzi quickly shook his head, but then nodded repeatedly, "Danka Duran, he's not a director, but he does have some connection to the medical field."

"He's a swindling, shoddy doctor who, relying on a carefully packaged online persona, hypes himself up as a cure for cyberpsychosis, taking advantage of the situation to defraud people."

The terrifying cyberpsychosis does not develop in an instant. It has a certain course of development. In the early stages, there will be symptoms such as hand tremors, uncontrolled body, impulsiveness and irritability, which are very easy to distinguish.

But it is this feeling of slowly waiting to die that often breaks down the patient's psychological defenses in a short period of time, which in turn accelerates the progression of cyberpsychosis.

The loop is closed.

"Many people have been deceived, but he only targeted powerless families, which is why he has remained at large."

Jiang Bing looked at him in surprise. "I remember you only did things like secretly filming and exposing your own scandals. How come you've taken on murder jobs too?"

The paparazzi shook his head hurriedly, with such force that Vincent was worried that he might break his cervical vertebrae.

"This bastard knows that what he did is hated, so he has bodyguards around him all year round."

"Besides, even if I had ten times the courage, I wouldn't dare to start a fight in Mr. Hands's 'Heartache' Club."

The club does have a rule that prohibits violence. Anyone who violates it will not only face being hunted down by Hands, but also by the Hellhounds outside who are responsible for maintaining law and order.

The key point is that the security forces in Dogtown, which are mainly composed of veterans, are equipped with really powerful equipment. Compared with them, the NCPD is like a country bumpkin who has never seen the world.

The paparazzi shrank their heads and rubbed their hands like flies, looking extremely vulgar.

"I was only responsible for filming his ugly behavior at the gambling table, so that I could expose the image of a good doctor that he had carefully disguised on the Internet."

This method is in line with the working habits of Regina Jones, a middleman who comes from a media background. It can solve the problem without taking too much risk.

“How was the shoot?”

The paparazzi chuckled and said that his professionalism was trustworthy.

Boss Jiang disagrees with this.

This method only treats the symptoms and not the root cause. It is possible that the other party will suddenly change his mind one day and make a decision that goes against his ancestors, switch to making some fake medicine, and continue to cheat people online.

"Eradicate the evil, William."

It’s the same old saying, whenever Boss Jiang encounters injustice, he will definitely lend a hand if he can.

"After following him for so long, have you figured out where this guy lives in Dog Town?"

The paparazzi quickly responded, "No, he'll definitely be back at his Watson clinic after the game. He's gambled away all the money he scammed. If he doesn't continue to scam people, what will he gamble with?"
