Chapter 229 Lost and Gained

six months later.

Dongfang Hospital was acquired 10% by Vitality Medical at a price of 2000 yuan + [-] billion credits.

This large hospital, which ranked third in Area 52, was brutally devoured.

The Cross-border Bureau, which had been working closely with Dongfang Hospital, immediately fell into hardship after losing the equity of Dongfang Hospital.

There is no hospital in Yaoxing City that is willing to provide purification treatment to those who have just entered Area 52.

Even if you agree to purify one person, you will be charged 20 gold, which is not less than a penny.

The helpless cross-border bureau can only send the promoted to the surrounding cities, but the hospitals in the surrounding cities charge the same price, and they can't save a dime.

We can only do a few less purifications, just clearing viruses and microorganisms is enough, and 5 yuan per person can still earn money.

However, Luo Liangpeng, the director of the cross-border bureau, found that the earning was still too little. On average, less than one person was promoted every day, and he would earn 15 money if he died, which was multiplied by more than 300 days a year.

Divided by the more than 60 people in the cross-border bureau and the more than 60 families behind them, each person in the bureau earns an average of less than 100 yuan.

Compared with the happy days in the past, this is like changing from a landlord to an upper-middle-class rich peasant. Although it is not bad, no one can bear the huge gap.

Moreover, due to the existence of the hospital's feedback system, the practice of "cutting corners and materials" by the cross-border bureau could not be concealed at all. After the upper-level nobles knew about it, they immediately reduced the purification fee from 20 yuan per person to 5 yuan.

The higher-level department of the Cross-Boundary Bureau could not tolerate the bad record of the Cross-Boundary Bureau. From top to bottom, this department came to a comprehensive cleaning, more than 60 jobs were landed, and then a group of new people were sent over to improve the supervision system. A new cross-border bureau was established.

As a result, Luo Liangpeng, the former cross-border director, and his son Luo Yingjun, all fell into Zhou Ming's hands after the kidnapping team was dispatched.

The purpose of kidnapping Luo Liangpeng was mainly to obtain some valuable information about the Cross-border Bureau from him.

The purpose of kidnapping Luo Yingjun was because Zhou Ming's 44 coins were intercepted by this kid!
"My principle of dealing with things is that if others give me a little favor, I will return it ten times! If someone takes away a little thing that belongs to me, I want him to give me back a hundred times! Now I give you two choices, die! Or return 4400 money to me. I?"

"4400... I don't have that much money! I only have 2500, and it's a little short!"

Luo Yingjun knelt on the ground, moved his knees and walked to his father's side and said, "Dad, lend me some money, 1900! You must have more than ten thousand dollars in your possession, lend me some, and help me!"

"I told you countless times earlier, don't take the money from the promoted... You have caused such a big disaster for the Luo family, you have to bear it alone!" Luo Liangpeng shook his head. The son who knew that playing with women and using money to bring disaster was extremely disappointing.

"Forgive me! Don't kill me! I was wrong, I was wrong!"

"boom!"

Luo Yingjun was shot in the head, his eyes full of death, his face full of fear, filled with endless remorse.

……

It was just a small episode to punish Luo's father and son to death. In the past few years, Zhou Ming's focus was still on the battle with the Balancer.

Not long after the overwhelming advertisements of Vitality Medical came out, the balancer came down and tried every means to get rid of this hidden danger of serious imbalance.

The first move was a killer move. Military robots and powerful mech commandos forcibly blocked the Vitality Hospital, ordered it to close within three days, handed over cheap life-prolonging medical technical materials, and permanently closed down.

As soon as the Balancer took action, the entire Area 52 was in an uproar, and tens of millions of people protested, extremely dissatisfied!
"I bought the golden 30-year life extension package of Vitality Medical, and I paid for it. If you say you can't go to the treatment, you can't be treated? How unreasonable!"

"Balancer go away! You bastards!"

"Come on, shoot, shoot!"

Hundreds of thousands of people gathered at the gate of the Vitality Medical Center to protest and demonstrate.

"Da da da~"

"Thuk Thuk~"

On the third day, in the face of the violent attack of the crowd and the attack of throwing stones and eggs, the blockade team opened fire. Under the indiscriminate attack, more than 8000 people died at gunpoint.

Because this day is September 9th, the media called it the "5 Massacre".

On September 9th, another 8 protesters regrouped at the gate of the Vital Medical Center, but this time the protesters were all children of zero-returners under the age of 12.

These children silently expressed their dissatisfaction in front of the blockade team by way of sit-in and hunger strike.

Five days later, [-] children returned to zero, and [-] starved to death.

One after another, young and fresh lives fell in front of the flesh and blood blockade team members in the blockade team, except for the robots.

"what!"

"I quit!"

Two blockade team members had a mental breakdown, dropped their weapons and ran away. The entire blockade team was shaken violently and their morale plummeted.

The next day, the blockade team all withdrew.

Closing the hospital by force is not enough, then assassinate, kill Fang Yuanjie, Wang Dawei, Qian Dalang and other high-level figures, kill them all, let the vitality medical treatment, the quick money bank have no leader, and automatically collapse!

Commandos, powerful military robots, liquid stealth robots...all come in handy.

But except for the substitute, none of the real bodies were assassinated.

On the contrary, under the trap designed by the opponent, the three commando units were wiped out and suffered heavy losses six times. Even the Jueying 3 killer robot was found by the opponent to be able to only last for five days. Trap, more than [-] units have been lost successively.

Even the balancer himself was attacked by bombs three times. Although he survived by chance, he also lost an eye, a hand and half a leg. Of course, with advanced medical technology, these parts can be repaired, but for the For the balancer, being counterattacked to such an embarrassing level by monkey-like civilians is simply a shame!
Scale up!

Ten thousand Storm 3 military robots, one thousand elite commandos, equipped with the most advanced weapons.

The size of the army is twenty times that of the first time.

However, so many people have not come in handy yet, the Gangjing City uprising broke out, the whole city, millions of people, under the leadership of a leader, under the banner of "destroy the old world and build a new home" In a short period of time, it swept through dozens of cities in the north.

At this time, even if the balancer knew that Fang Yuanjie was a greater threat, the uprising in the north spread too fast. In less than a month, it occupied 17 cities, controlled a population of tens of millions, and there was an army of millions of people. rebel troops.

And Area 52 is no different than those lower-level areas. Its role is very important. Any lower-level area can be turned upside down. Only Area 52 must ensure long-term stability.

We can only turn our guns around and suppress the uprising in Gangjing City first.

This suppression lasted for five years.

Not to mention the many times of reinforcements and heavy losses, he was unable to deal with Fang Yuanjie at all.

They could only watch the other party helplessly, bought all the hospitals in Area 52, and took control of the entire medical industry.

When he had completely settled the Gangjing uprising and was free to kill Fang Yuanjie, the other party sent a representative over and said they wanted to "talk" to him.

"Talk? What is there to talk about? Before Area 52 is restored to balance, there is nothing to talk about!" the balancer said angrily.

Fang Yuanjie, the biggest unbalanced person, must die!
"Why can't we talk about it? Tens of millions of people have died in the Gangjing City uprising. Will tens of millions of people die and destroy the entire medical industry in District 52, even if the so-called balance has been reached?"

you--

The negotiator's words made the balancer's tone stagnate, and the tough words were blocked in his throat.

The so-called balance of Area 52 refers to the balance of certain forces in the area that control, influence, and control the Area 52 within the allowable range.

The value of Area 52 is, firstly, as an area on this planet with the most thorough environmental purification, the most high-quality population, and the largest area, it is indispensable in terms of ecological adjustment, food production, and industrial facilities.

Another, the medical system with the highest value in Area 52, has never lost half of its value to the upper-class nobles.

It is not an exaggeration to use the word "foundation" to describe Area 52.

And it's easier to break than to fix, and harder to build than to destroy.

If in order to maintain a certain balance, create greater damage and imbalance, or even move towards a catastrophic situation of reshuffle, reset to zero and restart, the loss must outweigh the gain.

And the cost of going to this situation, can the balancer bear it?

The superiors of the Balancer, would you like to see it?

After repeated weighing and obtaining authorization from superiors, the balancer agreed to negotiate.

Both sides put forward their own bottom line and requirements.

There are four bottom lines for the balancer:
20. The price of life extension treatment must be raised to the point where only [-]% of the population can afford the cost of life extension.

108. Vitality Medical Group, the [-] large and medium-sized hospitals controlled by it, must be split up, at least into ten parts, and no one company is allowed to monopolize all of them.

[-]. The low-cost life-extension technology, new life-extension technology, and any breakthrough in life-extension technology of Shengqi Medical Group must be actively supplied, and private use must not be hidden.

(Of course, according to the advanced level of the supply technology, different rewards will be issued from above. The highest reward is the ticket to the upper area, and also arranges to go to work in the upper area hospital)

[-]. Disband Xunjie Bank, stop all financial services such as money exchange, user deposits, loans, and life extension wealth management!
For these four bottom lines, Zhou Ming put forward four requirements respectively.

1. The price of life-prolonging treatment can be increased, but the remaining 550 million orders in the hands of Shengqi Medical Group must be completed at the original price.

2. Vitality Medical Group can be split, but one, he must be given enough money compensation; the other, he must hold a certain amount of shares, or cross shareholding, in the split-off hospital.

3. Medical technology can be supplied upwards, but must be purchased at a reasonable price!And provide tickets to ascend to the upper area, the number should not be too small.

4. User deposits, loans, life extension financial management and other services of Xunjieqianzhuang can all be suspended, but Xunjieqianzhuang will have to wait at least 20 years to completely disband, and then dissolve after all depositors are stripped off. Unless the depositor loses, the balancer bears all of it.

As for the money exchange business, Zhou Ming did not back down, he must keep the money life network!Without this website, what would he do with the 10,000+ billion credit points in his hand?How to change it into money?

Is it possible to find a profession that has disappeared for more than ten years-money messenger?
After more than a month of negotiations, the two sides finally reached an agreement, the balancer's goal was basically achieved, and Zhou Ming's interests were basically guaranteed.

Of course, there must be some losses, and the losses are quite large, at least millions of dollars.

But compared to the 1500 million money and 13 trillion credit points in hand, and the total assets of Shengsheng Medical, Dongfang Hospital, Yuanyue Catering Group, Money Life Network, etc., the total value is still more than 30 trillion credit points , the lost ones, are not unacceptable.

And far better than losing everything.

"One can't just look at what has been lost, but look at what is left in one's hands..."

"I lost it. When I go to the upper area, I will ask those people to get it back sooner or later..."

"I got it, I will cherish it forever..."

"Rest in peace, your blood will not be shed in vain."

Standing in the middle of a cemetery with millions of tombstones erected, Zhou Ming, holding a bouquet of flowers in his hand, looked at a colorful portrait of the woman on a tombstone, and remembered the second time she stepped forward to save herself. And the last moment of sacrifice... I couldn't help muttering to myself.
