Chapter 75 Dark Magic Security Consultants
"Brother Tian, have you contacted Instructor Dong?" Li Wenchao asked Xiao Tian and Chen Qingyun, who were sitting next to him.
It was the second day of a close conversation with Roberts. Li Wen used the excuse to learn how to surf, so everyone stayed in Yingwan Garden for one night that night. The next day, Li Wen held the surfboard and tossed in the sea for another morning, until he could barely control the surfboard and slide along the waves for a short while. This ended the vacation and returned to Meiyuan.
After the conversation at the sea and reefs, Roberts swam into the crowd of beauties and had a long time to play before returning to Shadow Bay Garden with his bodyguard Paul.
Through his own channels, he quickly inquired about the situation of Enron Company. He had too little time and didn't know much. However, after summarizing the information he collected, Roberts could still notice that all signs showed that Enron Company's senior management and Republican leaders were going to take advantage of Enron Company's stocks recently.
Enron's senior executives once revealed to him that their ultimate goal is to push Enron's stock to $120 per share, making Enron a behemoth with a market value of over $100 billion, and then gradually cashing out and making up for the loopholes in financial fraud. Now it is only about $83, far from the plan's goal, the senior executives and the Republican leaders who hold Enron's stock are eager to cash out, which is almost a collective reduction. The tricks must be considered. Thinking back to what Li Wen said, Roberts's back was instantly covered with cold sweat.
At midnight that day, Roberts visited Li Wen and formally accepted Li Wen's employment. Then he talked secretly about some issues for two or three hours, confirming the main direction and contact information of the future intelligence. Li Wen told Roberts that in addition to the salary of the three, the investment of this intelligence network will not be less than 100 million US dollars per year, and if necessary, it may also increase its investment.
Li Wen also gave Roberts the first task, and made every effort to collect information from Unicorn Petroleum and pay attention to the situation in the Middle East. As for Enron, it must not be touched.
As for the deputy assigned to Roberts, the consideration is that Xiao Tian’s former instructor is now the intelligence director of a security consulting company secretly established by Li Wen.
Long before returning to Hong Kong, Li Wen asked Xiao Tian to find their retired comrades in the special forces and Chen Qingyun who were familiar with when he was a mercenary.
Xiao Tian was born in a special forces unit. Li Wen had speculations when he first came into contact with him. After getting along, Xiao Tian also retained some of his situation. He joined the army at the age of 18. Due to his outstanding grades during three months of basic training, he was assigned to the reconnaissance company. Six months later, he was sponsored by the company commander of the reconnaissance company where he was located for training. After completing two years of hell training, he officially joined a mysterious special forces unit affiliated to the Suizhou Military Region, specializing in overseas missions.
The tasks of this special brigade are very dangerous and have a considerable casualty rate. In the three years when Xiao Tian was in, the casualties exceeded 40%, but those who can survive until retirement were all survived. Perhaps it was for the need for protection or for training, after serving in the special brigade of the unit for three years, they must retreat and be fully organized by new members.
After leaving the brigade, he still needs to stay in the army for one year of extra-term guidance before he can choose to continue to stay in the army as a special coach, or choose to receive a relatively generous bonus and retire. Xiao Tian chose the latter.
However, Chen Qingyun and the other two were just conscripts. They were not in the same unit, but after they were discharged from the army, they chose to be employed by French foreign corps to meet. (In reality, French foreign corps especially like to recruit Chinese veterans, because it is said that Chinese soldiers are particularly obedient and have strong combat power.)
Chen Qingyun spent a long time in the French Foreign Legion and stayed for more than two years. Zhou Hanxing and Zhang Yu joined later. At that time, Zhou Hanxing and Zhang Yu were affiliated with Chen Qingyun. Later, the three of them stayed in the French Foreign Legion for more than a year and then retreated and formed the Wolf-fang Mercenary Organization to move around in the war-torn Africa and the Middle East.
The domestic conscription implements the compulsory military service law, and a large number of soldiers are discharged from the army every year, and even in the special forces, there are many people who have discharged from the army.
Nothing like foreign countries, Chinese soldiers can receive a very limited discharge fee when they retire, let alone work arrangements, even those who retire from the special forces. The work arrangement is the treatment only those with backstage. Because of the service period of several years, it is considered to be out of normal society. After retiring, a considerable number of veterans can no longer keep up with the needs of normal society, especially soldiers like Xiao Tian who only learn more about killing enemies. They do not have the skills required by normal society. After they retire, they can only become security guards and receive the lowest salary of society. Those who are lucky may be private bodyguards, and the treatment will be relatively better.
At Li Wen's request, Xiao Tian had already contacted his comrades who had contacted him earlier, and the person who was considering being arranged to be around Roberts was contacted by Xiao Tian through other comrades. Dong Jianjun, the intelligence instructor when he was trained in the second year.
Dong Jianjun was 36 or 7 years old. When Xiao Tian fled to the United States, he was accidentally blown off his left hand during live-fire exercises. After staying in the army for fifteen years, he was unwilling to stay in the army. He refused to stay by the leader and chose to retire with the rank of major. Fortunately, under the care of the army leaders, he took a free position in the local armed forces department.
During the time he returned to Xiaoli, Xiao Tian visited him and became a lobbyist for Li Wen. Before they returned to Xiaoli, Xiao Tian's comrades had already formed a security consulting company in Somalia and asked him to be the company's intelligence supervisor. When Xiao Tian returned to Li Wen, Dong Jianjun had agreed and had already gone to Somalia.
After the September 11th incident, the United States began to openly use troops to the Middle East, first in Afghanistan and then in Iraq. The original order in the Middle East was broken and the situation was turbulent. Afghan minerals, Iraq's oil and the post-war reconstruction of the two countries were all cakes that international consortiums fought for after these two wars.
In addition to the huge profits of multinational consortiums, the chaotic situation also indirectly benefited another industry - mercenaries.
The famous American Blackwater Company was in the past two wars. Blackwater Company was formed by several veterans from the U.S. Navy Special Forces "Naval Seals" in 1997. When it started operating in 1998, there were only 6 people.
After two wars, the company's training center has become the largest private security personnel training center in the United States, where more than 50,000 people have been trained there. The company has also become a large security company covering five subsidiaries including training centers, shooting ranges, police dog training, air guards, and security consultants. Clients include the US Department of Defense, the State Department, the Department of Transportation, federal law enforcement, multinational corporations and foreign governments.
In just a few years, Blackwater Company has grown from the first six people to a super private armed group with 2,300 employees distributed in 9 countries around the world, 20,000 employees are on standby at any time, and 20 aircraft are on duty. In May 2006, at the Special Forces Equipment Exhibition held in Amman, the capital of Jordan, Black, Vice Chairman of Blackwater Company, announced that Blackwater Company's mercenaries can perform missions in any war-torn area in the world.
Li Wen did not want to participate in these two wars, but to use his own armed forces to protect the safety of company personnel when participating in the minerals and oil competition in Afghanistan in the future.
After these two wars, the multinational consortium paid mercenaries up to US$20 billion a year when competing for resources from both countries. Li Wen wanted to participate in this wealth feast, and security work must not be missing. Instead of giving these employment expenses to others, it is better to participate directly by himself.
The most important thing is that as the industry expands, Li Wen really needs to equip his family and company senior management with corresponding security personnel. After Phil that time, he was very eager to have a private armed force himself to deal with accidents. He did not expect that he would be killed suddenly because of the industry competition.
The Black Demon Security Consulting Company was secretly funded by Li Wen. Xiao Tian entrusted his special forces to retire from the special forces and unwilling to live a dull life. Chen Qingyun and the others also contacted several familiar mercenaries to join. Li Wen had secretly allocated 200 million US dollars to them. In just over a month, he had already enclosed a 10,000 acres of training land in Somalia, a chaotic place where pirates are everywhere. At present, the facilities of the training site are being improved and the recruitment of personnel are expanded.
Xiao Tian contacted his comrades and could not hide it from the government. After understanding the cause of the incident, especially after understanding Li Wen's situation, the army conveyed an invitation to cooperate through Xiao Tian. The army could release these veterans and also provide several active commanders, saying that the commander was completely under the command of Li Wen after leaving the army, and would never contact the army without Li Wen's consent.
The military requirements are to properly open the training base to the army in the form of leasing when necessary, and to allow the military to send personnel to the company from time to time to participate in the company's tasks in the name of mercenaries.
Regarding the cooperation proposed by the military, Li Wen also knew that these retired special forces soldiers had long been instilled with the idea of loyalty to the party and patriotism. If they were against the country in the future, they would definitely stand on the side of the country. It is possible that the Black Demon Company would give it to the country for free.
However, Li Wen knew that he did not have the dark heart to dominate the world. The purpose of establishing the Black Magic Company was mainly to ensure the safety of the company's personnel in the future. The possibility of the opposite of the country was almost zero. Therefore, he agreed to the cooperation proposed by the military for a long time, but it was not unscrupulous. After agreeing to the cooperation of the military, he instructed the company to vigorously recruit mercenaries and the personnel on both sides should reach a balance.
Now the job of the Dark Demon Company is to preside over the three commanders released by the army and two white mercenaries recommended by Chen Qingyun.
The company has now poached more than 250 special military personnel and related personnel from China through various channels. Together with the mercenary organization introduced by Chen Qingyun, the total number of people has been nearly 400. In just one month, the entire company's structure has been established. In another three months, it can take on tasks and reduce the burden on Li Wen.
Xiao Tian nodded and said, "I have communicated with Instructor Dong. After Mr. Roberts's handling is done, Instructor Dong will leave to meet him."
"I'll trouble you Brother Tian and Brother Yun in this area in the future."
