Chapter 146 Cooperation Achieved

• Amanda's last condition was more demanding than all the previous ones. If Edward Dierser had the sole authority to decide, he would readily agree. However, the big data monitoring project was under the scrutiny of higher-ups, and any progress had to be reported immediately, including the conditions Amanda mentioned.
• The final condition, essentially allowing Nixon Company to freely share the organization's dedicated network, was explicitly forbidden. Regulations stated that private business groups were prohibited from having network connections and information sharing with enterprises affiliated with the state.
• There were two main reasons for this prohibition. Firstly, the state possessed economic information that the public shouldn't know, and leaking such information could easily lead to public outcry, causing public pressure on the government and providing opportunities for subversive elements to smear the country. Secondly, the state's control over the economy and upcoming policies were stored in the network. If private enterprises had access, business owners would predict upcoming policies and disrupt market order, potentially causing economic collapse.
