Chapter 633 Demand
Spy is a mysterious group in the eyes of everyone. In fact, their work and life are different from those of most people, but they are not as different from ordinary people as they are in 007.
The stories that most people like to hear are stories of mysterious spies who steal a large number of core secrets and pass them out. But in fact, more spies are especially spies in modern society.
Many are actually very ordinary, and they have their own profession as a cover. Of course, that profession is not a part-time job. Some are even their main jobs. Spy is just their other identity and another profession.
What many people don’t know is that in addition to the national training, there is another type of spy, which is independent and unattached spy. Some spies are double-sided or even multi-faceted spies.
At the same time, serving several parties and different institutions at the same time. In fact, the name of the service provider is also because of this. Service providers, they only provide services and provide services to their own customers, but they will never participate in any project.
At least on the outside, they won't participate. Or, you can't find any trace of their participation in any project. They just provide the services you need and then charge a fee based on the services.
If there is any organization in this world who has the deepest understanding of spies, then there is no doubt that it is the service provider. They have been working on spies for centuries, and even before the concept of modern professional spies emerged.
They were already engaged in the work of spies. However, all they did was to collect information that was called "message". The screening was not that strict and the quality was not that good. But at that time, it was already a very good deal.
With the development of the times, especially the pace of several European countries' expansion, the service providers' sites are naturally constantly following up. They have expanded to almost most corners of the planet.
The empire fell, but the service providers continued to develop with the war. The two world wars were a key turning point, and a large number of spies were active during that period. Some of them were very loyal, but more were spies in polyhedrals.
It was also during that period that the spy groups that were not affiliated with any country began to develop. They urgently needed a reputable platform to sell the information they had while concealing their identities.
They also need someone to protect their families and even their own safety after they are exposed. This is the job that the service providers do. Many legends were born in the war, including the soldiers fighting for the country.
Crazy killers, spies without names, and mercenaries hidden in the shadow of history. What connects all this is the service provider. Of course, in that war, it also paid a huge price for its reputation service provider.
Many once huge sites were destroyed by war. After all, in war, bullets and shells will not avoid just because you are a service station. People who are eager to lose will always do anything. Service providers will also retaliate wildly.
During the war, although service providers suffered heavy casualties, it was also because they insisted on their credibility that countless third-party spies were willing to use this as a platform to sell their news.
When the war ended, accidental non-professional spies also appeared. Some of them may be engineers who sell important information they have for money or to allow their children to enter a higher education institution.
Among them, there may be an inconspicuous but extremely important staff member who sells some key information they have for money, for promotion or various benefits.
Service providers always satisfy them, and the prices given are very reasonable. What makes them most reassured is that service providers will never publish their information to the outside world. Even the buyer does not know their information.
Of course, they don’t know the buyer’s information. Perhaps after the incident, they will notice who the buyer is. But they will never contact the buyer privately. That’s too risky and the chance of an accident is too high.
Some fool who thought he was smart tried to do this. The consequence was that he was caught on the spot in a transaction with the buyer. So he lost his life to his family.
As for the fact that he was too greedy and asked the buyer and the party he betrayed to join forces to get rid of him, it was because he accidentally leaked the news. Or, the buyer had some leaked news. These are no longer known.
"According to 14 years of statistics, the global PMC system contract output value has exceeded $200 billion. This number is growing continuously. Simply put, this is a huge market. It is a rising market."
The information is sent to the old men one by one, and they have to brag. But under the bragging, you have to have something practical to show people. The old men are not young anymore, and although they are old foxes, they are not as energetic as young people after all.
If they hold high-intensity meetings every day, their bodies cannot accept the spirit and cannot concentrate. Therefore, the meetings are divided into several stages, and Hou Dasheng also needs to give time for them to communicate with the committee below.
They need to inform the members below of the jackal’s decisions, the opportunities and risk assessments that these decisions may bring. Although those members must do this, it is also necessary to inform them to give respect.
"The war will continue, even if there is no war, a large number of private security tasks and security maintenance tasks, someone will take over." Hou Dasheng spread his hands and said with a smile: "War without us is not called war."
"Peace without us can certainly not be called peace."
"Hahaha..." The old men were very happy. The new leader obviously had a much broader vision. The world entered a peaceful period, but mercenaries had to eat, right?! The existence of security missions was to let everyone have food.
But Hou Dasheng said leisurely: "G4S is doing well now, but they are definitely not as professional as us. Of course, I don't mind having some cooperation with them. The market is huge, and this market is enough to accommodate more of us."
As labor costs increase, police distribution will definitely be adjusted. This sign has appeared in Europe now, and part of the security work is handed over to the G4S. But they only have the right to patrol and no law enforcement.
Even so, they still save a lot of manpower. For the official, there is no need to hire more people, no need to pay more wages and benefits. This is good news.
Just paying a commission will allow them to undertake general patrol tasks. There is no doubt that this model will be accepted one after another. Companies that receive commissions will naturally promote the birth of key bills through lawmakers.
As long as they do not covet the interests of other groups, they can afford security and save expenses and are also something other groups are happy to see.
"Our peripheral team can recruit more people. Now, in South America, there is a great demand for private security. There are also some work that requires someone to be responsible for. We don't have many competitors there."
Hou Dasheng knocked on the table and whispered: "A soldier from an elite US combat force has served in Afghanistan for five years and only 120,000 yuan. He only needs to work for us for two years to get 400,000 yuan. I believe many people will be willing to be part of us."
The old men grinned and nodded constantly. When the halo faded and people began to think about themselves, those illusory and former glory seemed unworthy. Marines, glorious names, rigorous training, and a strong sense of honor.
After retiring, they will find that they have almost nothing. Many of the former elite soldiers have become homeless people on the street. Everything they were once familiar with has changed, but they have not been well placed.
These have stimulated many other people in service. In fact, the signs in this regard are already very obvious. Even in the current US military, many people have begun to study their retreat during their service.
Some of the elites were poached to the company and became a company of overseas security forces. The companies recommended by the Pentagon also became their choice. But these could not accommodate everyone.
Moreover, the salary of these jobs is slightly higher than that of them in the US military. At most, there will be some subsidies. The pension after death is only so much.
It’s different to work for jackals. Jackals will be very responsible to match you with your tasks, the price of their abilities, and it’s very fair. There will naturally be pensions when they die, so there is no need to worry at all. Jackals are rich enough to give many treatments that PMC companies cannot give.
Even the peripheral team of jackals strictly implements the jackal system. This is the only way to ensure team cohesion. The minimum requirement for any direct force related to jackals is to ensure the continuation of jackal bloodline.
The bloodline of jackals is their system. The selection and treatment will never be low. Because no matter who serves as the leader of the jackal, they work hard from the bottom. They know what the mercenaries at the bottom need.
No one works as a mercenary for no reason. Everyone’s most basic needs are money. Meeting this basic needs is the next step to build a sense of honor for the team. Let them be proud of their identities and cultivate them to become loyalists in the team.
It has to be said that after years of hardship and development, jackals have been extremely successful in these aspects. Although there have been traitors, more people who are unwilling to rebel against jackals until death. These are the fundamental reasons that have supported jackals to exist until now.
It is also because of this that Hou Dasheng requires all teams related to jackals to ensure the jackal bloodline in the team.
