Influence Prices-
Maximizing Profits from Contacts

Hydra Corporation

There is an old saying : "It's not what you know, it's who you know." The uses of one's contacts are many and varied, from creating Business Units to acquiring weaponry. However, if one is not using these contacts for more than simply acquiring the $100 cash that each can bring, then there are always those who are willing to pay a premium for their use. Why settle for making less, when profits can be made for a simple transfer? Below are listings of each influence and their realms of expertise, and the current prices being paid for those influences through the Hydra Corporation, brokers who work through this site. If you wish to sell influences at the prices listed, contact demilitarized@mindspring.com with the numbers and types of each. An e-mail will be sent confirming the sale, and with instructions as to how it may be achieved.
