Therefore, for a time, everyone categorized Ascension Technology as being the same kind of company as Arasaka, Military Technology, and others.
They got rich through oppression and monopolies, and eventually, like these companies, they would start to suck their blood.
"It seems the company's reputation among people isn't very good right now."
On Black Star, watching the numerous messages protesting Ascension Technology constantly spread, Lao Wei said with a smile.
"That's not important. We only need the results. Let them say whatever they want about these things. When everything is over, we naturally won't need to explain much." Luoqi shook his head.
He had anticipated all of this long ago, but he didn't care.
"Right now, it's just a monopoly on the network. The so-called boycotts and protests are just minor disturbances."
"Besides, it doesn't matter. What we're doing was originally intended to make us enemies of the entire world."
"Let's continue with the next plan." Luoqi calmly issued the order.
....
Just when people all over the world were paying attention to Ascension Technology, whether questioning, boycotting, or curious.
Ascension Technology made a new move.
A press conference for the whole world was convened.
With Ascension Network connecting to the global network, information transmission between people was no longer restricted by region.
It seemed to have returned to the era when one could instantly know about major and minor news worldwide.
This press conference, broadcast live globally through Ascension Network, garnered an unprecedented and frightening level of attention.
Even top companies like Arasaka or the most popular braindance stars had never received such treatment.
This was all because Ascension Technology had frequently entered people's sight in this short period, and had changed the entire world order.
Everyone wanted to know what new moves Ascension Technology would make next and what impact it would have on them.
Would it be exploitation, war, or welfare?
The press conference went very smoothly. On this day, people all over the world could watch the live broadcast of the conference on Ascension Network.
Even in various cities around the world, the most prominent display screens were showing the conference footage.
And this time's press conference also had different content than usual.
In the picture, there were no numerous reporters and cameras surrounding him.
Only Luoqi was alone, standing in the center of the screen.
And behind Luoqi was an electronic map of the entire Earth.
"I am L, the chairman of Ascension Technology."
"Those of you watching the press conference now are from all over the world. Many of you probably haven't heard my name."
"But if you've spent time in Night City, perhaps you've heard my story, the story of a kid from Watson District."
"During the day, I was an apprentice in an underground clinic. At night, I went with my brothers to do some jobs on the streets to make a living."
"I've seen the endless gang wars on the streets of Night City, and I've seen the desperate expressions of patients waiting for death on the operating table."
"As someone who was just a nobody back then, I kept wondering who killed them. Was it the rival gangs, or me, this incompetent Doctor?"
"Neither was the answer. What killed them was this twisted world, the companies that control the world."
"I started to wonder, how exactly could I change all of this..."
"And now, as you can see, I have become one of them. I have also found the answer to the problem, which is for me to control all of this, stand above everyone, and end all the farces."
The content of Luoqi's words seemed like a joke.
But his tone and the confidence he revealed told everyone that he was serious.
Many people at the bottom were questioning the chairman of Ascension Technology, thinking he was completely talking nonsense.
As for the executives of those companies and the upper class of society, they were paying attention to what this restless guy was up to again.
These companies were now very clear that the chairman of Ascension Technology came from the streets.
They were not people of the same class to begin with. Even if Luoqi successfully joined the ranks of world corporate giants and became one of the top few, he still wouldn't get their recognition.
As for not coming out to denounce Luoqi, it was just because they were forced to shut up by the powerful strength of Arasaka and Ascension Technology.
But now that Ascension Technology was making new moves after dealing with WCN, even boasting about controlling everything, it made all company executives vigilant again.
Regardless of the attitudes of various parties, the press conference proceeded as scheduled.
And the preceding parts were just off-topic. Soon, Luoqi showed everyone his crazy plan.
This was a press conference, and also a product launch conference.
Under the astonished eyes of people worldwide, Luoqi introduced Ascension Technology's upcoming product plan.
Besides the well-known armed security industry, industries monopolized by large corporations such as the media industry, manufacturing, medical industry, transportation, agriculture, and new energy industry, etc., were almost all listed by Ascension Technology.
Medical services similar to Trauma Team, and hospitals planned for deployment in various locations.
Global cargo transportation services including Earth orbit and between Earth and Moon.
Nuclear energy supply solutions relying on Ark reactors.
And supply services for various important raw materials.
This time, Ascension Technology presented achievements that astonished everyone.
And what they wanted to do truly surfaced.
Ascension Technology wanted to challenge the world's monopoly corporations; they wanted to break monopolies and even achieve anti-monopoly.
For a time, giant corporations around the world were in an uproar.
Giant corporations such as Trauma Team, orbital transportation companies, petrochemical companies, etc., were all affected without exception.
This time, Ascension Technology was truly making a move, intending to crush companies throughout the world.
"This is definitely the craziest move ever made by companies worldwide. Ascension Technology is challenging companies all over the world."
"Even if he can actually produce these products, he will have to face the siege of all companies."
People discussed animatedly, and these companies naturally began to become restless.
Because what Ascension Technology was doing wasn't just drawing a big picture.
At the same time the press conference was held, various projects of Ascension Technology had already started.
Throughout the world, various new projects of Ascension Technology began to be rolled out.
And these projects indeed had strong technological support. How could companies with keen senses not know what kind of impact these projects would have on their companies?
In an instant, companies all over the world regarded Ascension Technology as a thorn in their side.
When Ascension Technology was at war with Military Technology and WCN.
They made no moves, merely watching the show.
