Let them offer their loyalty

PS:

There's one or two more.

Chapter 34 See, as I said

"Does Mr. Silka know about the Weydon Project?"

Jonas did not say it directly, but instead asked.

On the other end of the communication, Silka Bond frowned and then said:

"Are you talking about the plan to produce individual weapons?"

Sirka had a slight impression of this name. He vaguely remembered that it was a new weapons cooperation plan provided by the Wetin Consortium to major security companies, but in the end it was shelved because the difficulty of developing the weapons was too great.

"Hasn't that plan been terminated?"

Jonas smiled and said:

"To be precise, it is not terminated, but extended indefinitely."

This is also the "compensation" given to Jonas by the Wettin Consortium. In fact, Jonas does not have enough funds to support the weapons development project, and this is why Jonas chose Sirka as his partner.

The Bond Consortium possesses almost all the necessary conditions for weapons development, and for Sirka, who is eager to expand the competitiveness of his inheritance, this is undoubtedly a good opportunity to prove himself.

After hearing Jonas' words, Sirka vaguely guessed what the other party wanted to say. He asked hesitantly:

"So, the cooperation project you mentioned is related to the Weiton Project?"

Jonas snapped his fingers and said with a smile:

"Mr. Silka is indeed a smart man."

Hearing this, Sirka's heart couldn't help but move slightly, but he soon calmed down, and there was a hint of suspicion in his eyes when he looked at Jonas.

"Why did you come to me for this kind of project?"

There is no doubt that this is a big project that can provide stable returns, and Jonas could have sought a better partner instead of choosing Taskar.

He didn't understand why Jonas did this.

"Because I want Mr. Srka to be the one in charge of the Bond Consortium."

Jonas' words made Srka's pupils shrink. After a long while, he finally reacted, took a deep breath and said:

"What is the price I need to pay?"

Jonas did not answer directly. Instead, he paused and said:

"Restarting the Weiton Project requires at least five million credits, as well as equipment and materials sufficient to support the development of frontline weapons."

"I will wait for your good news before the 26th of this month. After that, we will officially start our cooperation."

Sirka's heart became nervous. He knew that this was a test from the other party. If he could show his value on the 26th, then the Weting Consortium would stand on his side.

But there is no doubt that once he agrees to the other party's conditions, he will be tied to the Weiting Group. This is a double-edged sword, and the sharpness of the sword is enough to kill him on the spot if he is not careful.

He hesitated for a long time, and finally gritted his teeth and asked:

"How much of the benefit can I get?"

Jonas held up three fingers and said:

"Thirty percent."

"Do you take me for a fool?"

"Mr. Silka knows very well that the development cost of weapons is much higher than the production cost. Now, you only need 5 million credits and the right to use some equipment to obtain 30% of the profits of the Weiton Project and the friendship of the Weiting Consortium."

Jonas tilted his head:

"Isn't this enough?"

Sirka's face turned a little ugly when he heard this. He knew very well that what the other party said was indeed correct, but this was tantamount to a gamble. Once Jonas failed to develop the development drawings of the new weapons, his five million credit points would be wasted.

"I think I need to think about this."

Sirka said this and stood up.

"Then I look forward to Mr. Srka's reply."

Jonas said this.

Then the call was disconnected.

.........................

Wettin Group.

Miss Eiffel, who was called the "Butler", seemed to be unable to hold back and asked in confusion:

"Why did Mr. Jonas target the Bond Consortium?"

In her opinion, Jonas currently does not have the ability to support the development and research of weapons. Even if Silka really took out the five million credit points, it would only be a drop in the bucket for weapons development.

However, what Eiffel didn't expect was that Jonas just tilted his head, looked at her strangely and said:

"Who said I was going to target the Bond Consortium?"

A question mark appeared above Eiffel's head, and then he heard Jonas continue to speak slowly:

"These old guys finally gave me a great gift, so I must cherish it."

Eiffel frowned and asked hesitantly:

"Nasrka..."

Before he finished speaking, Jonas' voice rang out.

"The Bond Consortium behind him is a useful chess piece. Moreover, people who claim to be a little smart are easier to control..."

Jonas laughed.

"As long as you promise a little benefit, he will do his best to seek benefits for you. Is there a better partner than this?"

Hearing this, Eiffel had a deeper understanding of Jonas's capitalist soul, and she couldn't help but complain:

"But Mr. Srka is gone, and the high-quality leeks you found may not fall into your trap."

"Serka is an ambitious man, but he doesn't know his own strengths."

Jonas began to analyze:

"Because of this, his greed will drive him to make some irrational decisions, because he will not watch opportunities slip away from his hands."

It was at this moment that the communication reminder sounded.

——Beep.

Jonas seemed to have expected this. With a swipe, the communication interface turned to Eiffel.

And that was the communication between Jonas and Silka.

The content of the new communication is:

-Mr. Jonas, I will meet the conditions you need before the 26th. Please don't forget the things you promised by then.

Seeing the girl's suspicious look, Jonas couldn't help but laugh, and then he said in a rather vicious tone:

"Look, like I said, the fish is hooked."

.....................................

PS:

This is yesterday's update. Sorry for posting it only now.

There are three more updates today, and I will try to post them before midnight.

Chapter 35: Who is trying to alienate the Destiny Organization?

As Eiffel said, it is impossible to successfully restart the Weton Project simply by throwing money at it.

Developing weapons is a very risky activity in itself, and one must be prepared to lose all one's money before doing so.

The people on the board of directors of the Weting Group had the same idea and wanted Jonas to be trapped in this project.

On the surface, the semi-developed weapons data of the Weton Project were inherited by Jonas, but turning this "semi-developed" into a finished product is not something that can be achieved overnight.

Jonas does not have a complete R&D team. Outsourcing has the risk of data leakage and the cost is too high.

This is also the reason why the board of directors was so confident in handing over the Weton Project to Jonas.

They believed that Jonas could not handle this huge order by himself, and if Jonas handed over the development project of the Weton Project to other consortiums, they would have a new reason to attack Jonas.

Giving money away is worse than letting it rot in your hands.

But what they didn't expect was that Jonas had never thought of handing over the development and research of weapons to other people. This biggest trouble had never been a problem for Jonas from the beginning.

Weapons research requires a lot of money and sophisticated instruments?

Did you know that the original protagonist of the game led a terrorist organization and was able to make cutting-edge weapons while evading the consortium’s pursuit and attacking the consortium’s production base?

Well, perhaps they could never imagine how many coincidences and miracles are needed to overthrow the rule of the consortium in the cyberpunk worldview.

But Jonas is different. He can pocket this achievement in advance, or kill the miracle in the cradle before it is born.

Although Eiffel was somewhat confused about how Jonas would solve the problem of weapons development next, she did not ask.

Just like how he handled the last hacking incident, she believed Jonas would always make the right decisions on key issues.

This feeling was completely unfounded, and before she knew it, Miss Eiffel, who had always been calm and objective, had also come to believe in something unconditionally.

But the girl herself didn't notice it.

"Well, you've been working hard these past two days. I think it's time to take a break for a while."

Jonas turned his head to look at Eiffel, and asked with a smile:

"What would Miss Eiffel like to eat?"

Eiffel's thoughts were brought back to reality when she heard this. She tucked her hair behind her ears, revealing her slightly red earlobes and white neck.

"Is this compensation, Mr. Jonas?"

“It’s just a reward.”

Jonas blinked and said:

"Of course, it is not included in the salary and bonus."

Eiffel raised his neck and said:

"Then your reward is really stingy."

Jonas couldn't help but laugh when he heard this.

He stretched out one hand, placed the other hand on his chest, performed a gentleman's salute gracefully, and spoke sincerely:

"Well, beautiful lady, could you please give stingy Jonas Wettin a chance to dine with you?"

Eiffel snorted when he heard this, and said:

"Mr. Jonas, you should use these tricks to make girls happy on other people."

After she finished speaking, she turned her head and said:

"But this time, I will reluctantly accept your reward."

Although she told Jonas to use these methods on other people, perhaps even the girl herself did not realize that the joy in her heart was growing like a flame.

............................................

Different from the relaxed atmosphere when Jonas was flirting with Miss [Butler].

At this time, the Destiny Organization was shrouded in a depressing atmosphere.

And now, the Destiny Organization is holding its regular monthly meeting.

The senior members of the Destiny Organization will take this opportunity to report the current problems within the Destiny Organization, discuss and formulate the next course of action, and make plans based on this route.
