Chapter 014 Jill Lee
The decoration of the experience store is progressing rapidly.
Less than two weeks have passed, and the entire experience store has a brand new look!
In the next week or so, we just need to perfect the details inside, and once the Super Dream game cabin is in place, we can officially start business.
The person in charge of the decoration work in the experience store is a young resistance fighter named Zhou Lei. Oh no, maybe now he should be called an employee of Lishan Technology Group.
Unlike Zhang Sirui and Zhao Zhen, who were old hands who had joined the resistance a long time ago, Zhou Lei was less than 20 years old and was a vital force in the resistance.
During the few days they spent together, Zhou Lei left Chen She with the impression that he was serious and careful in his work and had a simple mind.
Compared with ordinary young people, there is no essential difference except that their hatred for the big capitalists is deeper and their will to fight is stronger.
According to Zhou Lei's age, he should be receiving education in a higher education institution at this time, and his future has unlimited possibilities.
But most educational opportunities in this world can only be opened with money!
This also made Chen She more determined in his ideas.
He knew very well that there were many young people like Zhou Lei among his resistance forces. They worked day and night in the factory, ready to take up arms to fight the big consortium at any time.
Their will is indeed strong and their goals are indeed lofty.
But facing the regular army of the big consortium, they have no chance of winning and will just become a meaningless number of casualties.
In Chen She's opinion, the vast majority of the resistance forces in the world today have a common serious problem: they have no clear goals and programs, nor an effective path !
Everyone has the sole goal of overthrowing the big chaebols, but no one talks about how to do it specifically.
If we insist on asking further questions, we will turn to military adventurism, believing that continuous fighting will eventually change the status quo.
Although Chen She was not a great strategist, he could see at a glance that this approach would definitely not work.
It’s just that Chen She doesn’t know enough about this world, and he can’t come up with a solution that will convince everyone all at once.
We can only focus most of our energy on the things at hand and solve the imminent problems first.
The decoration department of a construction company under the Wilford Heavy Industry Group is responsible for the decoration of the experience store.
Zhou Lei and others don't need to help in person, they just need to supervise the progress of the construction.
But in fact, there is nothing to supervise. This decoration company has a standard process for all its work. All decoration materials and decoration effects are clearly marked with prices, which are exactly the same as the renderings.
From this point of view, although the big capitalists have brought a lot of suffering to the world, they do provide some high-quality services and are closely related to the economy of the entire world.
Just like many giant companies in Chen She’s previous life, although they were often criticized and often did not do good things, they did provide services and provided impetus for the economic development of the entire world.
These chaebols will have to strike a balance between reputation and profit because they will also compete with each other. Relatively short-sighted companies are likely to be eliminated, and even the chaebols cannot rest easy.
The "Special Law on Enterprises" stipulates that when a company's size is below a certain level, it will be protected. The big chaebols are not allowed to use military or other means to directly threaten others, and can only conduct certain commercial competition within the rules.
Therefore, emerging companies like the newly established Lishan Technology Group have the possibility to develop in such an environment.
When emerging companies develop into emerging conglomerates, they may also pose a threat to established conglomerates, thus maintaining a deformed but still effective competitive relationship and preventing the structure of the entire world from becoming completely rigid.
However, once the size of an emerging company exceeds a certain limit, this protection will immediately become invalid!
Therefore, many emerging giant conglomerates must carefully control their own scale, and when the scale is about to break the limit, they will rush to create their own corporate forces or purchase security services from giant security companies.
Chen She had nothing to do, so he casually walked around the experience store and watched the workers decorating it.
Many materials used in the decoration process are modular, and some work can be done directly by intelligent machines, but manual labor is still indispensable.
In fact, given the level of technology in this world, most tasks can be completed by pure machines.
But the problem is that in many cases, the cost of smart technology equipment that uses high-precision chips is higher than manual labor.
Therefore, in order to control profits and relatively reduce the number of unemployed people, many conglomerates still retain some manual labor jobs.
The same is true for the Chen Group.
Chen She noticed that while Zhou Lei was working, he would occasionally move the mechanical prosthesis in his left hand, as if there was some malfunction.
"What's wrong with your left hand? Did you have a conflict with gang thugs recently?" Chen She asked.
He had known for a long time that there was a fierce robbery going on between two gangs on this street, and this store was located in a key position on the entire street, so there was a high possibility of some violent conflict.
Zhou Lei shook his head: "Don't worry, Mr. Chen, the thugs from the two gangs are still watching and have no intention of attacking us."
"My mechanical prosthesis has old problems. From time to time, there will be some minor problems. But don't worry, it will not affect the use of it."
Chen She frowned slightly and said, "How can we make do with this? There happens to be a prosthetic clinic nearby. Let's go and see if we can repair it."
Zhou Lei still wanted to refuse, but Chen She was firm in his attitude.
There is no choice but to obey.
Chen She took Zhang Sirui and Zhou Lei to temporarily leave the experience store and go to the nearby prosthetic clinic.
In fact, Chen She did this on the one hand to help Zhou Lei repair his mechanical prosthesis, and on the other hand to see the real situation of this prosthetic clinic.
When he and Zhang Sirui were strolling around the area , Zhang Sirui said that most of the prosthetic clinics opened in such places have some special purposes. Chen She felt that this might be a danger to his own experience store.
What if this cyborg doctor is a spy planted in this area by some big consortium?
Accurate intelligence should be obtained as early as possible.
However, although Chen She and Zhang Sirui visited all the restaurants, bars and other places nearby, they still couldn't find a good opportunity to go to the prosthetic clinic. Because Zhang Sirui's mechanical prosthetics were very advanced and there was no damage.
Forcing repairs can easily arouse suspicion.
This time I have a perfect excuse.
…
When he arrived near the prosthetic clinic, Chen She was surprised to find that there was still a queue at the door.
Several muscular thugs with colorful hair and tattoos were vaguely divided into two factions. They were secretly confronting each other at the door, and the atmosphere was tense.
Their cybernetic prostheses are all damaged to some extent, and it can be seen that the cybernetic prostheses of these gangsters are all cheap and inferior types.
It is at least two or three levels lower than Zhou Lei's mechanical prosthesis, and it is countless levels lower than Zhang Sirui's right hand.
The two groups of thugs had one group with a huge shark head tattoo, while the other group had a dense jungle tattoo.
Although both sides glared at each other and gnashed their teeth, they still lined up in a very orderly manner and no one dared to take action first.
Zhang Sirui said: "I will go and drive these people away."
Chen She quickly stopped him: "No need, we are not in a hurry, let's queue up first."
Judging from the tattoos on these people, they are the two gangs that have been fighting fiercely on this street recently, namely the Shark Gang and the Jungle Gang.
In fact, Chen She really wanted to complain about the names of these gangs, as he always felt that they had a strong rural flavor. However, considering that these street thugs had a low level of education, these names might sound very imposing to them.
Obviously, conflicts often break out between the two groups, and they often fight on the streets over a single word. Naturally, their cheap mechanical prosthetic limbs will be damaged and need to be repaired in a prosthetic clinic.
Although there are a few brainless people who would do something desperate, most people are clear-headed and know not to cause trouble in front of the prosthetics clinic.
Just like the gangsters in Chen She's previous life, when they went to the hospital, they had to obey the doctor's instructions because they knew who could save their lives.
The gangsters in front had obviously seen Chen She and Zhang Sirui. They knew they couldn't afford to offend them, and were even ready to make way, but they found that Chen She was queuing up calmly, so they continued to follow the order and entered the prosthetic clinic for treatment.
Fortunately, although there are a lot of people, the progress is very fast.
Street thugs entered the clinic one after another. When they came out, some of them had happy faces, while others had frustrated faces.
Obviously, some prostheses can be repaired relatively easily.
Some prostheses cannot be repaired and can only be replaced, and most of these gangsters are unable to come up with such a large sum of money.
Once the mechanical prostheses cannot be repaired, these gangsters will immediately turn from the backbone of the gang with strong combat effectiveness into disabled people who can only serve as cannon fodder.
This kind of gap is indeed difficult for ordinary people to accept.
Chen She couldn't help but sigh: In this world with such a high level of science and technology, the role of military spending in combat is infinitely magnified.
Without money and military funds, it's okay to fight on the streets, but if you meet a regular army, you have no chance of winning.
Ahead of Chen She and the others was a two-meter-tall, sturdy gang leader. After he entered the prosthetic clinic, Chen She and the others were finally able to enter and stood aside waiting.
Chen She’s first feeling after entering was: This operating table is so big!
Oh no, this chest is really full of technology.
Eh, that's even more wrong.
What surprised Chen She was that this doctor who had never left the prosthetics clinic was actually a hot lady.
She looks a bit like a Westerner, but there seems to be some traces of Eastern and Western ancestry.
Wearing a work jacket stained with a little oil, Chen She naturally thought of some of the lsps' favorite characters in the game in his previous life.
For example, the mechanic in Final Fantasy 15.
But compared to the mechanic who always has a smile on his face, the prosthetic doctor has a serious expression. Not only does he have an icy aura that keeps strangers away, but there is also some impatience of the menopausal aunt next door.
"Lie down."
The prosthetics doctor casually pointed to the operating table next to him.
The sturdy little leader, who was as big as a hill, immediately lay down obediently, like a primary school student queuing up for a physical examination.
Chen She saw the prosthetic doctor's business card on the table next to him, picked it up and glanced at it.
Jill Lee.
He is indeed a mixed race of Eastern and Western blood, but his Oriental features are not very obvious.
A beautiful woman can actually open a prosthetics clinic in a place like this and keep all the hooligans under control. This is enough to show that she is not an ordinary character.
Chen She couldn't help but become alert, and took a few more glances at the buttons on his work jacket that couldn't be fastened.
