Sinmonger Chapter 6: A market without competitors

On the morning of February 18, DeWitt walked into Joseph's office with his head raised proudly, like a peacock showing off his strength. I casually said hello to the godfather of the Lucches family, and this attitude was not at all like facing an elder or my own boss. Then he sat directly on the sofa.

DeWitt has always been arrogant, and Joseph didn't seem to mind the young man's special temperament, he just said with a smile: "I am impressed by your ability to do things, DeWitt, whether you are a consultant or not, it is only your Killing so many killers in the Genovese family in seventy-two hours, and narrowly catching Frank Genovese, is enough to make your name in any city's gangsters."

DeWitt takes a pack of cigarettes from his pocket; "Do you mind?"

"Please, child," Joseph replied.

Devitt got angry and exhaled: "Science, Mr. Lucches, this is the trend of the 22nd century, with the profit of dozens of kilograms of cocaine, you can get a military The WM2030, and a certain amount of protective drugs." He took another sip: "There are many similar products on the black market now, although they are all products that were eliminated by the empire many years ago, their performance is far inferior to the current new models. It is advanced, but when used in the irregular army, it is already a bull's knife for killing chickens."

"I used to know about these strange weapons, but I always thought it was better to keep a Browning in my pocket." Joseph also lit a cigar: "In fact, boy, what you said That WM thing, even if you hand it over to me, I won't use it."

"It's not a complicated machine, but it's a super-strong sound wave and shock wave. It uses the diffraction effect of the sound barrier to amplify the guided radiation. It was used by the army as a cannon. It can radiate all over the vertical cylindrical area, and if a plane passes in the air, it may be shot down."

Joseph said: "Hehe... Okay, child, you don't have to tell me the details of how to use it. Now I only care about two things. First, when will the Genovese family leave this city? disappeared."

DeWitt said: "You can go straight to the second question."

Joseph exhaled: "Of course that's the 'big plan' you're talking about."

DeWitt smoked quickly, and he had already finished one: "There is a Chinese saying 'dare to be the first to eat crabs', I think this sentence can describe what we are about to do very well. , In any field, the original pioneers may not be victims, and many of them have tasted the sweetness. When those conservative and timid people straighten their necks to watch or laugh at others, the pioneers Has quickly seized the market, a blank market.

If this is serious business, what happens next is that those who used to wait and see finally recognize the law of the market, so they start to follow the trend shamelessly. And the sheer volume, plagiarism, and shamelessness of this group of trash are often staggering.

But luckily, Mr. Lucches, you're not in any serious business, so if that kind of villain pops up, you can drive them out of the market and send them to the grave. "

Joseph took the cigar from his mouth: "Go on, advisor." His name for DeWitt changed and his expression became serious.

DeWitt said: "I mean no disrespect, Mr. Lucches, but the Mafia today is nowhere near the height of the twentieth century, even if you stick to those traditions. It's hard to re-establish credibility with the general public. Maybe at a time people thought the Mafia cared about civilians, wouldn't kill innocent people, and even represented justice in certain circumstances. But for now, you can do whatever you want Find a few thugs on the streets of Chicago, and it's impossible for anyone to know the difference between a regular gangster and a mafia.

This is an age of no faith, at least not for most people. The mainstream values ​​in today's world are money and power. The empire is like a pyramid. Everyone wants to climb up. When people stand on the top and look at those who are pressed down, there is no sympathy in their hearts. Guilt, there is only fear and happiness, and this fear also prompts them to climb further.

It's time to change your mind, Mr. Lucches, don't worry about 'private feud', 'declaration of war', the red tape that has bound you since the nineteenth century, and even the title of Godfather can be discarded, Even Catholicism has been abolished by the empire, so what's the point.

The business we want to do is very risky, so we need many pieces that can be discarded at any time, such as the kind of person who can give up life for a luxurious life, or take wealth by any means as a matter of course. people, they are very suitable. "

Joseph said: "What is the deal you are talking about..."

"It's the smuggling business you're very familiar with, Mr. Lucches, smuggling a special metal—net alloy."

Joseph frowned and asked, "I've never heard of such a thing."

DeWitt laughed; "It also took me a long time to find the information on this thing from the secret copy of the Empire. If I sell this technology to a resistance organization, I am afraid I can get a sky-high price, but I am more Like running a business. The pond will dry up, but the stream will flow. It is better to make a fortune than to make a fortune.”

"What is the value of this thing? Or, can you give me a more specific concept? How much can a kilo of metal in your mouth sell for? Is it more expensive than gold?"

"Gold? Hehehe..." DeWitt laughed. "Gold and net alloy are like shit."

"Is the net alloy worth as much as a diamond of equal weight?" Although Joseph couldn't believe it, the surprise and greed in his heart had already been hooked.

DeWitt said: "Don't get it yet? Mr. Lucches, it's priceless because you can't buy it anywhere in the world. It's like there's a water pipe in the desert, Stone Age A lighter at times or a sniper rifle in medieval times.

You can set your own price and monopolize the entire market. To use an easier-to-understand analogy, all the poppies in the world grow out of your backyard, and the demander can only buy them from you and accept any price you offer. "

Joseph said: "But what is the use of this pure alloy? If it is an alloy, it is nothing more than a special metal."

DeWitt said: "Heh...if this thing is just a good metal, why doesn't the Empire use it on civilian facilities?" He paused and said, "I can remind you, why did the Empire not use it more than a hundred years ago? Can sweep the planet."

Joseph's cigar falls, and DeWitt is pleased with his response.

"As I said, those who dare to walk in the front will taste the sweetness. Of course, net alloy is only one of the many secret technologies of the Empire, and I have a sample on me now." DeWitt sent it casually. He took out a piece of soap-sized metal from a pocket. It was a silver cuboid. The surface looked smooth but not smooth, giving it a heavy feeling.

Joseph picked it up and looked at it carefully, while DeWitt explained: "The density is moderate, the hardness is inestimable, it can withstand a high temperature of 10,000 degrees Celsius, the thermal conductivity is close to zero, and the diamagnetism is almost completely unaffected by the magnetic force. Any known chemical substance corrodes, is not affected by radioactive elements, and the alloy with such a terrible melting point also has shape memory capability, that is to say, even if it is really heated to the zero boundary point of 10,000 degrees, the material form of the net alloy begins Change, as long as it cools down within a certain period of time, it will still recover."

Joseph said: "How to smelt this thing?"

"Hmph... This is the secret technology of the empire, and it is also the core content of the information I got. This thing cannot be smelted at all~IndoMTL.com~ and does not need to be smelted, it is made of molecular structure. It is made by one-piece molding technology. For example, if you want a knife, I will directly make a knife for you. From the handle to the blade, all are pure alloys. As long as the person holding the knife is strong enough, he can cut off all solids in the world. , unless that solid is also a net alloy."

"So it is..." Joseph said: "The Empire is worried that after this alloy manufacturing technology is mastered by the people, it will one day be used to make weapons... Those who resist the organization, many of them use cold Weapons can stand up to the monsters of the army, and they will flock to this net alloy sword."

DeWitt continued: "From the era of Prohibition to the present, the Chicago Mafia has remained at the level of submachine guns and grenades, which have long been outdated. There are weapons in HL that are stronger than the latest model of the WM2030. Follow us. The Genovese family is not a problem at all compared to the future transactions to be made. Look farther, Mr. Lucas, maybe we will be dealing with the role of HL in the future."

"I'm not interested in being a rebel," Joseph said.

DeWitt replied; "I know, I don't need you to be. You just need to be a chaebol who can't even move the empire."

Joseph stared at DeWitt, the young man's ambition and courage made him a little admired, and he had no scruples at all, and said directly: "It seems that the Lucches family's 'staff counselor' ', it's going to be replaced today."

He stood up from the boss chair, turned around, faced the floor-to-ceiling windows behind him, looked at the bustling and bustling city in front of him, and said proudly: "It won't be long before I will be the new king of Chicago."

DeWitt snorted coldly, sat on the sofa and smiled: "It's not the city, but the whole world that is at your fingertips."
