In Night City, I was picked up by a female V

This is the heavyweight one.

"Now, let's talk about the Tiger Claw Gang."

Bai Rui looked at everyone and said seriously.

Chapter 144: Night City "Rip Off" Bar!!!

In Night City, the Tiger Claws may be a little different from other gangs.

The top leaders of the Tiger Claw Gang all wear suits and ties, smoke cigars, and regard themselves as serious businessmen.

In other words, they are one of the smarter gangs in Night City. They don't want to be like the gangs around them and make their own territory a mess.

Japan Street in Westbrook is a typical example. The Tiger Claw Gang did not choose to exploit the resources here, but chose to do business. They opened casinos, bars, nightclubs, and various expensive clothing supermarkets and luxury stores. There are tall buildings everywhere, the roads are clean and busy, and the scene is full of vitality.

Under the strict ban from the top leaders of the Tiger Claw gang, the lower-level members of the Tiger Claw gang do not disturb tourists, but choose to maintain order. To a certain extent, the gangs here even care more about public security than the NCPD officers.

Thanks to this, the Tiger Claws did not let their territory fall into the quagmire of robbery and street fighting. Japan Street was transformed into a famous tourist destination in Night City, with the number of tourists handling it every day being enough to make up the population of three suburban cities.

But gangs are gangs, and doing business cannot change their style of burning, killing, looting and doing nothing to cover up their practices.

The Tiger Claw Gang has set its sights on new territories: the Kabuki District and Little Chinatown.

They sent their forces here and almost succeeded, until the movement that started at Lizzie's Bar, the formation of the Mox Gang, and the popular movement of street residents against the Tiger Claw Bar.

It was a grand event, attended by half of Night City.

Sometimes the opinions of the people are useless, but sometimes, when things reach a critical point, the opinions of the people play a decisive role. It was not until the end that the Tiger Claw Gang realized that this was no joke.

In the end, of course, the Tiger Claws compromised, because of the public movement, the Night City Council had to play its role.

The expansion of the Tiger Claw Gang could only be carried out in secret, so the Mox Gang got some breathing time, and all the gangs, big and small, in Little Chinatown got a rare chance to develop.

Although it has now been intercepted by Bai Rui's hive organization.

Bai Rui has occupied the cheap prosthetics market in Night City, so it is naturally impossible for him to release it.

Therefore, even if Bai Rui and the Tiger Claw Gang had not had the conflict yesterday, it would be impossible for the two to live in harmony.

After all, who should own the money of the poor people in Night City is a matter for negotiation.

"We must consolidate our market. No one, including the Tiger Claws and the Scavengers, can interfere with our business."

"At the same time, we must also expand the business of our organization. After all, we all know that we cannot support the business alone."

Bai Rui added that he wanted to make the Hive Organization great again according to his own plan.

Isn't that right?

What kind of organization is the Beehive Organization? Is it an ordinary gang?

That's not the case. Bai Ruike is very clear about the positioning of his Hive Organization. It is the number one charity organization in Night City and there is no other comparable to it.

Therefore, Bai Rui is full of confidence in the future development of Hive.

It's time to give Night City a little hive shock, Bai Rui thought.

Are you kidding? How could she, a kind-hearted person who loves all humanity, create a terrorist organization?

While Bai Rui was busy preparing to upgrade V and the others to welcome the era of exoskeleton armor, his bar opened quietly.

There was no publicity, no advertising, and no activities like giving away eggs or oil. The bar was opened by simply modifying the decoration of the casino on the first floor.

To be honest, Bai Rui didn't care about the business of the bar.

In Night City, legal businesses don't make money as quickly as the gray industries. Her main purpose in changing this bar was to provide her subordinates with a place for their own entertainment and chatting.

After all, there are now at least a hundred people in the beehive. For their physical and mental health, entertainment venues are necessary.

Bai Rui is truly a good boss who is hard to find in Night City even with a lantern.

Of course, it is necessary to sell some drinks and snacks, collect the wages given to subordinates, and then pay them back as wages. After all, it is better to let your own family earn the money than to let others earn it.

There are many kinds of entertainment in Night City, but in fact, there are only a few. Among them, except for the sex industry, the beverage industry is the most profitable. After all, at night, who doesn’t have a drink to relax and celebrate that they have lived one more day in this fucking city.

It would be more painful to let others make this money than to let Bai Rui lose money.

Therefore, Bai Rui decided that from now on, he would give 20% off on drinks in his bar to the Hive employees, and then make a lot of money from them, so that they could get back as much of the wages they had paid out.

As for the bar's business, Bai Rui is not planning to turn it into a nightclub. She plans to run it like the Wild Wolf Bar, just a place for drinking and chatting.

"...Okay, a little more to the left, a little more to the left, that's about right."

At the door of the bar, Bai Rui stood with his hands on his waist, pointing and gesturing at two Hive mercenaries who were standing on the handrails in front of the door.

"Oh my god, Bai Rui, what a fuss you're making."

"Well, it's pretty decent."

Bai Rui was just instructing the mercenaries to hang up the bar's neon sign when two voices came from behind him.

"Hey, isn't this Lao Wei and Jack? You're here just in time."

It was evening, the day was over, and the exhausted residents of Night City were preparing to spend their hard-earned money in bars and nightclubs under the cover of night.

Jack and Lao Wei walked along the road and came to Bai Rui's side.

"Oh my god, your sign is so big that someone who doesn't know would think it's Night City Bank."

Looking at the big sign that the mercenaries were busy with, Jack folded his hands and said exaggeratedly.

"Humph, the sign has to be big enough to attract people. What is this called, the siphon effect?"

Bai Rui touched his chin, not understanding what he said.

She just likes big signs.

"Well, never mind. As long as the sign is eye-catching, it will let others see the grandeur of our 'Beehive'."

Jack looked at the big sign and nodded with satisfaction. According to his Heywood aesthetic, he felt that this was majestic and impressive.

After the meeting yesterday, he and Lao Wei received an invitation to the opening of Bai Rui's bar, so they came together in the evening to support Bai Rui.

After all, the two of them are now members of the "beehive", and they share the same honor and disgrace.

Looking at Bai Rui tilting his head left and right, trying to see if the sign was placed properly, Jack couldn't help but sigh.

I didn't expect that the two homeless girls who were brought into the city by me just a few years ago have ended up like this.

Jack could still clearly remember that at the beginning, V was drinking and complaining to herself about how this little Bai Rui had drained her wallet and energy clean.

And in the blink of an eye, their little sister became the most successful one.

It turns out that Jinling is not something that can be kept in a pond. Once encountering wind and clouds, it will turn into a dragon.

Of course, Jack certainly didn't know this sentence.

However, he was still proud of Bai Rui. After all, it was he, her senior, who brought her into the industry. She succeeded, and Jack was sincerely happy for her.

Although several people suffered a big setback in the incident at the Ganbi Building, isn't life better now?

Jack looked at the big sign and felt very proud.

If this momentum continues, the day when they become true legends of Night City will be getting closer and closer.

Well, this guy is still determined and hasn’t forgotten his dream of becoming a legend.

But it's okay. At least after suffering the iron fist of Arasaka Corporation, Jack has become much more honest and will no longer dream of getting rich overnight and becoming a superior person.

At least I understand what it means to proceed step by step and cross the river by feeling the stones.

"Boss, the power is on now."

Two Hive mercenaries, wearing military green work clothes and sweating profusely, climbed down the escalator and asked Bai Rui for instructions.

"Okay, turn on the lights!"

Bai Rui nodded with satisfaction and asked people to start working.

As the electric current is stimulated, the words on the neon signs flash bright blue and white light, adding to the light pollution problem in Night City.

The entire sign is written in flamboyant Chinese characters, but there are a string of English, Japanese, and Korean words marked below.

There is no way around it. This small Chinatown is a place where people of all ethnic groups live together, and a signboard has to be engraved with multiple languages.

Jack couldn't read Chinese, and Lao Wei didn't understand much either, but that didn't stop them from reading the English notes at the bottom of the sign.

"Hahahahaha!"

Lao Wei was the first one who couldn't hold back his laughter. He laughed so hard that he bent over and leaned on his legs. His body was shaking so much that his small round sunglasses almost fell off.

"Uh, Bai Rui, what kind of a name is that?"

Jack's eyes were also wide open with a weird look on his face, and he almost choked on his own saliva.

It’s no wonder that the two of them couldn’t hold back. They didn’t see clearly in the dark just now, but now that the sign was lit, they could see clearly what kind of weird name Bai Rui had come up with.

"'Rip-off' bar, eh..."

Jack thought for a long time before he found some words that were not too offensive.

"Bai Rui, you are really honest."

Jack was speechless, but Lao Wei was still smiling.

Maybe it's because he stays at home in the clinic all day, this boring old man, Lao Wei's sense of humor is a little too low.

After laughing for a while, he managed to hold it back. Lao Wei kept shaking his head, feeling helpless and amused at Bai Rui's antics.

This little kid always makes things so funny that people can't help but laugh.

Young people nowadays are really...

Gifted.

"Uh, what's so funny?"

There were three black lines on Bai Rui's smooth forehead, and he looked at the two of them speechlessly.

It's just a name, are you so upset?

She just picked it randomly. She is an expert at finding difficult names, so she just picked up an allusion, and it seems the effect is a bit too great.

Bai Rui shrugged helplessly, indicating that his emotions were barely stable.

"Okay, okay, come in, there's plenty of drinks today, have fun."

Not wanting the two to embarrass themselves at the gate, Bai Rui hurriedly urged them to go into the store.

Although perhaps her sign is even more embarrassing.

"By the way, Jack, there's a surprise waiting for you inside, so hurry in."

When he saw Jack's big face, Bai Rui seemed to suddenly remember something, and suddenly he winked and looked mysterious.

Jack was also confused and couldn't figure out what was going on in Rui Hulu.

However, he was not afraid of challenges. He raised his eyebrows and strode in with Lao Wei.

Bai Rui also followed his men into the bar.

In any case, even if Bai Rui's "Rip Off" bar is officially opened, it is a small step for mankind and a not-so-big step for Bai Rui.

Maybe in the future, when we come to this day in history, we can still remember this day.

Chapter 145 Drink it, this is the fate of the orcs!!!

The bar couldn't be described as crowded;

After all, today, all the members of the Beehive organization, except for the unlucky guys on duty, were seated. After all, their own gang’s bar was opening, and everyone came to celebrate.

To celebrate business, to celebrate money.

There was nothing special about the bar. It was just like any other bar where people drank alcohol, with some strange wallpapers, thirty or forty small tables and stools, and a dozen private rooms that could easily accommodate a hundred or eighty people.

In addition to these seats filled with people, there is a small stage separated by the wall, which is used as a singing stage. Now, several shirtless Hive mercenaries are there, playing drums and guitars, singing tuneless anti-war rock at the top of their lungs, sweating all over. Those are their memories of when they were in the army.

Around them, there were also a bunch of people clapping and cheering. These guys, wearing colorful, old uniforms representing various branches of the military, were all veterans. The oldest one had almost half of his teeth lost.

If you don’t know, you might think this is a veterans club.

After all, among Bai Rui's subordinates, a large proportion are veterans left over from the War of Unification.

Of course, a bar cannot be complete without a bar counter and a wall of wine. In the inner part, there is a large metal bar counter. The wine racks that occupy the entire wall behind it are filled with colorful wines. They are all new arrivals, waiting to fill people's stomachs.
