#3942 - Same old thing

Saburo Arasaka died and his son succeeded him. Although he killed his father, he was a good man. The son killed his father for his mother and because he was dissatisfied with his father's policies.

He felt that his father's actions were too evil, turning Night City into hell, and the company became more and more terrible under his father's shadow. He had lived in such a shadow since he was a child, so he wanted to change.

However, the son soon realized that his idea was "you don't know how expensive firewood and rice are until you manage the household". The reason why Arasaka Saburo was so terrifying was that he needed to reduce the cost of running the company. If he didn't manage with power, win over those who supported him and suppress those who opposed him, the operating costs would increase and the company would fall apart.

External attacks cannot defeat the Arasaka Corporation, but internal divisions can quickly cause the company to disintegrate.

Why is the company so powerful and can become the boss of Night City? It is not because the company has magic tricks, but because the power within the company can be gathered together. And the method of gathering is the method of tyrants.

A tyrant suppresses opponents and promotes supporters. So Arasaka Saburo proposed an idea, and the supporters below implemented it. The process of turning an idea into a reality requires the cooperation of many people.

If everyone opposes what Saburo Arasaka says, the company will just be fighting and fighting, and all its energy will be wasted. Since he needs supporters to support him, Saburo Arasaka also has to give money, but he only needs to give money to supporters, not to everyone.

The Age of Discovery was an advantage of low human rights, and the Industrial Revolution was also an advantage of low human rights. At that time, only 3% of the people were citizens, and freemen and slaves were not considered human beings. It was not until after World War II that civil rights were decentralized and everyone became citizens, but then neoliberalism came and everyone became a citizen. Then, depending on the division of labor based on annual income, 80% of the wealth was concentrated in the hands of 20% of the people. Only these 20% of the people were citizens, and the remaining 80% were freemen and slaves, with room for decline.

When the citizen population recovers to 3%, the advantage of low human rights will be revealed. Westerners can still try by using the method of sheep eating people, and perhaps they can find a new industrial direction and become great again.

Twenty percent of citizens now is still too much and a heavy burden, but it is not yet at the point where the sheep eat the people.

What Saburo Arasaka wants is to maintain the support of 20% of the company's employees and concentrate resources in the hands of 20% of employees, so that he can implement his ideas. But to maintain the support of these people, he needs to provide them with benefits.

Arasaka Yorinobu's desire to reform was like a dream, because if he changed, the company would be gone. His idea was too naive and could not be implemented at all.

And he also has a younger sister, so everyone can support his sister to take the throne.

My son is now facing a chaotic situation and is completely powerless to do anything. His orders cannot even leave the office, let alone get the support of his employees.

Now the company is in danger and all the employees want to change jobs.

Saburo Arasaka's decades of hard work were ruined by his son. He could have continued to work towards the goal of becoming a productive person, but there was Johnny outside and his son inside, and neither of them would cooperate.

It was like walking on thin ice, on the edge of an abyss, and one could die if he wasn't careful. Saburo Arasaka didn't expect that his dream was not defeated by greed, but interrupted by his son.

He had not expected his son’s assassination, but since he was dead, he could only leave everything to the living.

The situation for the living was bad, very bad, and everything became troublesome. Arasaka Yorinobu was unable to stabilize the company and could only watch the company decline.

Even if he and his sister work together, they can't resist. In the case of external crises, everyone can protect the Ark and fight against it. In the case of internal crises, everyone will dismantle the ship.

External pressure would make the people on the Ark unite and save the ship together, because everyone believed that it was safe on the Ark. But once the passengers on the Ark felt that the Ark was unsafe and started to dismantle the ship, it would be the end of them.

No one knows who will break the keel and cause the Ark to sink. If it is an external attack, it will take a very strong attack to sink the Ark, and most enemies do not have such strong power.

But for internal sabotage, just one bad apple is enough.

In this situation, the company is already unstable, and it is impossible to rely on the brother and sister. Not to mention that the son is a patricide, which has no legitimacy at all.

"The largest company in Night City is about to collapse, but Night City will not be better off." Suzi saw the news on the moon and felt very emotional. Such a large company could collapse at any time. It can be said that 'I watched him build a tall building, I watched him entertain guests, and I watched his building collapse.'

David and Lucy had never expected that they had been away for half a month, and Night City would be in such a turmoil. Saburo Arasaka was dead, and the company could no longer continue.

"Now that the company is gone, there shouldn't be anyone coming after us anymore," said David.

Lucy was not so optimistic. After all, David's parts and her own skills were valuable assets. Although the company was gone, people who knew the truth might come looking for them, so they could not be careless.

Suzi thought that Night City must be in chaos now. All factions would definitely compete for the space vacated by the company, especially the two companies, Military Technology and Tao Kang, and there would also be external capital.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

It's very chaotic, but chaos is also a kind of order, and you can make money. The various assets left by the company are the target of everyone's competition. As long as you have control of these things, you can make a lot of money.

The snatch has begun.

"It's still the same." The elderly Togusa looked at the changes in Night City and sighed: "Nothing has changed. Whether it's the island country or Night City, it's all the same. No one has changed at all. Society is sick, but there is no good doctor, let alone a prescription."

“But forget it. There will still be a chance after the advantage of low human rights emerges. It is because of the advantage of low human rights that there are the Kamikaze Special Forces and the tactic of exchanging a pilot and a plane for a battleship. It is because of the advantage of low human rights that there is the high death rate in the Age of Discovery and the Industrial Revolution where people are eaten by sheep. Only by dehumanizing a large number of people and turning them into freemen and slaves can we continue to try new ways out.” After fleeing to Night City, Togusa has been studying and has deeply realized that the supremacy of Western citizens has existed for thousands of years, and there is a reason for that.

Although civic supremacy was suppressed by religion for a period of time, it later relapsed. The era when civic supremacy was suppressed was called the Dark Ages, and religion became a scourge.

However, even now, religious ethics and civic supremacy are still fighting and have not yet been resolved.

Monotheism suppresses the supremacy of citizens and imposes many shackles on nobles and citizens. On the contrary, it is favored by free people because they can unite and cooperate through monotheism.

The nobles and citizens do not want the return of traditional ethics. They fight back with nationalism. When necessary, they simply elect a head of state and go to war.

War requires citizen soldiers, and citizens can obtain resources. Just like the Wei Wuzu in the Wei State during the Warring States Period, citizens served as soldiers to rob resources. Therefore, fighting is the obligation and need of citizens. Not fighting is not possible, and you must fight, because only by fighting can you have a chance.

Togusa knew that turmoil was the main theme of history, and that the World War II order that was maintained peacefully by nuclear bombs was abnormal.
