Arknights, but the family has fallen again

Steel Carrot City wants to replace its labor protection supplies.

More specifically, they wanted to switch the supplier of anti-originite infection drugs and infection-suppressing drugs to a cheaper company.

Of course, strictly speaking, this "purchase list" is just a "letter of intent".

This is a "preliminary" update before the reform is officially implemented. If the feedback is positive, Iron Carrot City will directly implement it; if the feedback is negative, Iron Carrot City...

Then it really can't be pushed forward.

Charlotte flipped through a few pages and muttered, "I need to tell my family about this... I can't just take advantage of every opportunity I get. It's fatal!"

Rim Billiton's social structure is quite unique: it lacks a strictly defined central or local government. Its towering mountains and frequent natural disasters make it a peaceful and contented place in the southeast corner of the earth.

Here, the Carters rely on blood ties to form families, and produce and live as a family unit.

Family after family formed the smallest social unit in RIM Billiton. In the new era, they organized themselves into "guilds" and "mining districts," communities that weakened the concept of family. Ultimately, RIM Billiton's local government was governed by the heads of each family, who negotiated and achieved self-governance.

Ignoring the cute aura of the bunnies and the spread of Originium technology for the moment, it's easy to see that RIM Billiton's society is actually an intermediate state between clans and tribes and a "nation."

But the interference of the core circle countries represented by Victoria has left Rim Billiton's society stuck in this delicate middle state.

It can be said that the influence of the Ultimate Big Iron Tun on other cities is as high as the average cheese level of the Sarkaz people.

The influence of local governments on the local area is in a dynamic and delicate balance: local governments lack the ability to force the local area to sacrifice short-term interests for long-term interests, and they also lack the ability to sell out local interests.

If a plan cannot be approved by the majority of families, it will be almost impossible to implement.

Just as Charlotte was about to take a break and continue her inspection, she noticed the supplier's mark.

In a trance, she seemed to see a tower spiraling up from the triangle. Charlotte shook her head, but she only saw the castle in the triangle.

Rhode Island Pharmaceuticals?

It should just be similar in shape...

But the "mysterious man" and "young fellow", who had long been buried deep in her heart by her daily work and were occasionally recalled when she looked up at the night sky, could not be erased from her mind.

No, I have to check!

It was still summer in January at REM Billiton, and the sun was scorching. Charlotte had to hide in the shade to see the image on the terminal clearly.

"Rhode Island Pharmaceuticals is a company focused on pharmaceutical research and development... They're moving their headquarters to recruit talent from across the land... This is so annoying! Where's the name of the person in charge?!"

"The CEO is... Amiya!? Registered in 1094!?" Miss Carters wailed, clutching her head. "Ahhhh! I should have been surfing the internet more often! The previous letter, the news from Rhodes Island! It's so hard to keep up with crucial information because I'm so lost!"

Surfing the Internet? Girl, you have quite the internet experience!

The security chief, who had already finished his rounds, saw Charlotte's expression and asked, "Don't worry, we won't agree to that list!"

"No matter what, I'm going to fight those cat-milk-drinking people!"

Charlotte quickly said, "No, no, no, no! Whether this medicine is effective or not should be judged by its actual effects, right?"

The security chief looked at her incredulously, then frowned. "The hero of the fence said the same thing!? I... better ask our relatives in Datietun!"

He muttered, "They transferred from Datietun. They should have tried..."

Miss Carters subconsciously protested, "That's not heroic! I just did what I had to do! If you say that again, Minister, I won't dare to work here anymore!"

Not working here anymore...

Charlotte had a flash of inspiration.

Since Amiya is the CEO, then maybe... No! Doc Otter must be there too!

"Minister! I need a leave!"

"what?"

……

Gantry.

As soon as the snow leopard got out of the car, he retreated and asked, "Isn't it winter in Longmen in January?"

As he spoke, he took off his clothes, leaving only a shirt on his upper body.

Just as the Fengti young man was about to answer, a cold voice came from outside the car.

"Due to the natural disaster, you might consider the current weather in Longmen to be summer."

Outside the car, Liberi with silver hair and black feathers was wearing a uniform, with a nun on the left and a Carterus on the right.

Chapter 257 This is a Snow Leopard

The tall Filin man offered his hand: "Ensi Odis, Ensi Odis Shivaash of Kalan Trade."

"Amiya, Amiya from Rhode Island Pharmaceuticals."

The little rabbit took a step forward and stretched out his hand in front of Enchiodis's surprised look.

He also had to bend down to accommodate Amiya's height.

"Then this is..."

"Dr. Ott, Dr. Ott of Rhode Island Pharmaceuticals."

Otto also walked past the nun's guard, shook his hand, and responded in the same way.

The nun's eyes became dazed for a moment, then regained clarity.

Enchiodis's eyes moved: This is the person who had communicated with him before.

But firstly, it had been a long time, and secondly, he had been shocked by the news about the land-based ship, so in the end he was a little unsure.

He tried to say, "Enxia, I am really sorry to trouble you."

"Strictly speaking, Rhodes Island's Medical Department is not under my jurisdiction. However, Miss Enshia does have intentions of moving to the Field Affairs Department, and at that time, she should fall under my purview..."

This troublesome tone was indeed his.

and many more?

Enxioudis interrupted Ott excitedly: "What did you just say?"

"Rhode Island's medical department is not under my jurisdiction."

"later!"

"She should come into my purview by then."

"middle!"

"Ms. Enshiya does have the intention of developing a career in the field department."

Enchiodis forced himself to keep a straight face.

"A pharmaceutical company's field department...is its job to sell drugs?"

According to common sense, there should also be jobs such as soliciting sponsorship and conducting research that require flying all over the country.

Of course, the probability of an ordinary pharmaceutical company concentrating all these tasks and throwing them into the "field department" caravan is not particularly high.

But Enthiotis's guess was doomed to fail.

"No, the Rhodes Island Field Office is responsible for providing security for Rhodes Island Pharmaceuticals' regular business activities."

This sounds normal... Every company needs security. But why did that girl choose to work as a security guard in a hospital?

Before Enchiodis could finish his sigh, Ott continued, "And this includes but is not limited to: providing security to our partners, protecting our doctors on the front lines, using force to prevent various groups from harming civilians, and maintaining basic stability in specific areas."

This doesn't seem to be a security guard.

Although Ott downplayed it, the "Kjerag Warlord" could still taste the faint smell of blood.

"Oh, right." Ott looked up and glanced at Enchiodis: "And subversion/counter-subversion of the state power."

what?

"You know, the very existence of some regimes is harmful to civilians..."

"Ahahaha..." Amiya awkwardly but politely interrupted this increasingly strange topic: "I remember Mr. Shivaash was here for an inspection?"

Survey.

An apt summary.

I need an Originium industrial system that is more suitable for high-altitude areas, and I also need to see with my own eyes the construction of Rhodes Island's land ships.

Dr. Ott's actions just now might just be disrupting my thinking, trying to find a better offer...

Enthyodis collected his thoughts and said to Ott, "I have brought the ore sample you requested."

"Wait a moment." Otto made some arrangements on the terminal.

"Okay, the engineering team has already arrived." He looked up. "Our preliminary analysis of the Kjerag ore will be completed soon."

Enthyodis frowned: We didn't seem to inform Rhodes Island in advance about the location of the minerals?

"But before that, Mr. Shivaash..." Ott paused and asked, "Do you want to meet Miss Enshiya first, or do you want to take a stroll around Longmen?"

The snow leopard narrowed its eyes.

He really wanted to use Enxia to control me.

"No, Dr. Otto, I think Rhodes Island seems to be quite powerful in Longmen?" he inquired.

"It seems that Mr. Shivaash wants to 'visit' our business in Longmen first?" Ott was a little surprised: "I thought you were more inclined to Miss Enshiya."

He kept calling my last name, but he called the girl by her first name...

"Since we've already reached Longmen, there will be time to meet Enshiya eventually."

"Master..." The two guards beside Snow Leopard couldn't help but remind him.

It wouldn't be good if I used this excuse to avoid seeing Enxia and she turned around and made a fuss.

Now that Enthiotis, the eldest son of the Shivaash family, and his eldest sister Enya have fallen out, the two do not want to see a rift in the relationship between Enthia and Enthiotis.

Enthiodis glanced at them and introduced them: "This is Matterhorn (Horn Peak), and this is Weiss (Messenger). They are both my friends and employees of Kalan Trade. They are accompanying me on this trip as my guards and secretaries."

Matterhorn and Weiss also understood something and greeted each other.

The nun bowed slightly and took the initiative to speak: "I am Laurentina, and I am accompanying Dr. Ott as his personal bodyguard."

She pronounced the word "close" in a very sticky way.

Huh? That's too bad! He actually said something so frivolous in this kind of situation! This really damages Doc Otter's image!

The little rabbit was a little angry when he saw this.

Ghost Shark was still sleepy these days, but Laurentina's personality had been appearing more and more frequently. However, the two personalities seemed to get along quite well, with neither having any intention of destroying the other.

"Well, let's get started without further ado." The scumbag turned and left.

Laurentina quickly caught up with Otto, and then stuck close to the left side of his body with a subtle rhythm.

Ott started to introduce directly: "This is the lower city of Longmen, also known as the civilian area."

"After a period of improvement, the security situation in the civilian areas is much better than before, but in about half a month, we can only achieve superficial results."

Ott pointed to the street and said, "If Rhodes Island leaves the street, it will only take a few days for this place to become a scene of street trespassing, brawls, and gang fights."

"However, despite the superficial efforts, the death and disability rates in civilian areas have indeed decreased. If we persist for three to five years, there is still hope that the downtown area will return to normal."

"...Did you just mention something strange?" Ensiotis said incredulously. "Were we touring Rhodes Island's operations in Lungmen?"

Amiya explained, "Longmen's Lower City security work is Rhodes Island's largest industry in Longmen."

Ott added: "It is also the only industry that is losing money in terms of economic profit."

"what?"

The snow leopard opened its mouth.

Chapter 258: Longmen Impression: Giant Enterprise

Since they emphasized economic losses, they would naturally make up for them in other areas. Ensioudis, who had also made considerable achievements in the business world and had also been poaching from the country, naturally understood this principle.

Not to mention, contracting the security business of an area... If Rhodes Island is a little bit unkind, the gray or even black income that can be squeezed out will be extremely considerable.
