CHAPTER 292: CHAPTER 94: LIVE BROADCAST TUTORIAL ON LEARNING HOW TO PERFORM SURGERY_2

On the bullet-riddled battlefield, the Egyptian Beauty dragged the unconscious, injured staff and frantically escaped using Sianweistan. She managed to get the person onto the vehicle, but the floating cars behind chased wildly like mad. Sometimes they even accelerated and overtook, blocking the middle of the road with a rotary machine gun, fiercely shooting to try to stop the ambulance. The players’ cars following on both sides were shot and exploded one after another, with cars and people sent back to wait for revival time.

If it weren’t for the fear of killing their own members, even the ambulance might not have escaped death.

...

A document was unceremoniously slammed onto the desk of the Trauma Team’s Field Operations Director.

"This week, we’ve had more than dozens of our Gold member clients snatched by ERO’s people, and they’re always ahead of our personnel."

The Trauma Team’s Operations Director picked up the document, glanced at it, and placed it aside, looking at the Marketing Manager with a flat tone.

"It seems last time’s incident hasn’t taught them a lesson."

Last time ERO snatched the Trauma Team’s clients, he merely acted lightly and took out two attending physicians. He later found out that the person was an ERO shareholder, so he didn’t pursue the matter further.

As a result, they’ve tasted the sweetness, thinking they’re deliberately showing weakness, wanting to come up and bite off a piece of the Trauma Team.

"That’s your problem to handle; I just know that they’ve hired a bunch of mercenaries who just entered the city and have turned Santo Domingo’s peripheral areas upside down, causing trouble with the local gangs everywhere, but I didn’t expect them to dare come after us."

"There’s obviously a problem here. The average task execution time for our field teams in Santo Domingo doesn’t exceed 7 minutes. How could ERO’s people possibly be faster than us arriving at the scene? It must be self-directed and self-acted."

The Operations Director pulled up the recent reports from below. Similar incidents were certainly reported to him afterward, even if the Marketing Department didn’t come to him, he would seek an explanation.

As a veteran experienced in battlefields, his keen sense told him there’s a problem here.

"Most likely they themselves catch the person, then call mercenaries to rush in and rescue, making it look like they’re very professional."

"Choosing Trauma Team’s members specifically might be an attempt to take a bite out of our market."

"But... we can’t rule out the possibility of a third party trying to stir trouble amid the chaos, inciting industry rivalry between the two medical companies."

It’s a common tactic in media manipulation.

If a third party wants to disrupt, this situation only requires both parties’ senior levels to meet, communicate briefly, compensate a sum of money, and then purchase some media articles to clarify things.

Problems generally won’t get too big. Just grind for a few days, catch the third party, and it’s settled.

The manager asked, "If there’s a third party, who do you think they are?"

"I don’t know." The director shook his head, "This matter is illogical. ERO hasn’t formed a competitive relationship with us for a long time. Forty years ago it was plausible; now they fundamentally lack the capital. How could a company that can’t even pay wages have the mind to compete with us?"

"Not even qualified to be used as cannon fodder."

This situation could be described as very embarrassing.

There are many companies in high-end medical business, primarily biotech-focused. But in the service industry, only the Trauma Team, while others are selling drugs, prosthetics, medical equipment. Every penny the Trauma Team makes has a share of these people; there is no actual competitive relationship.

Other private hospitals are sparse and weak, not enough to compete with the Trauma Team.

So how can their senior levels speak up?

Does ERO qualify?

Obviously, it doesn’t.

Unless ERO’s CEO personally comes to kneel in apology, drag out all employees involved for the Trauma Team to handle, and maybe it’s barely enough.

However, if that happens, ERO can bid farewell to mixing in Night City, prepare to close the doors.

Although ERO is an institution with municipal funds support, biotech, and military technology shares, it’s still too small compared to biotech. So small that the Trauma Team has no intention of negotiating, casually tramples it.

Are opinions important?

The two exchanged glances, understanding each other’s thoughts.

Even Lin Miao underestimated the harshness of business competition here.

In his original plan, after the Trauma Team’s counter-attack, spread rumors of emerging competition relations through various means, leak various confidential news from both sides’ ’employees’, actions that could even cause both parties’ stocks to rise until players’ actions set them against each other entirely.

In this process, Gloria was undoubtedly dangerous because the people snatching Trauma Team’s members were more or less related to her. Therefore, Lin Miao specially arranged for Mann and his team to follow Gloria daily, protecting her safety, once an incident occurs, all players would gravitate toward her.

However, he didn’t anticipate these two intended to directly crush ERO, without even needing to report upward.

Regardless of whether you are targeting the Trauma Team, by breaking off the reaching hand, those behind are bound to show flaws.

And this situation directly reflects on ERO’s field personnel attack rate. Previously street mercenaries, punks at least knew the rules and generally didn’t attack ambulances (excluding Trauma Team), as no one knew if they’d end up inside someday.

But now ERO’s deployment casualty rate has rapidly risen; in less than a week, over eighteen field emergency workers died consecutively, two ambulances had accidents, four attending physicians were attacked, one minor shareholder was hit by a car and died, causing company-wide panic, with no one even running field missions.
