The splendid hall and the crowd of people in splendid clothes. Food, wine and beautiful women are all in full bloom with laughter.

Lin Rui was a little unaccustomed to this place, just as he was not used to the stereotypical suits on his body. Long Zhengwu looked at him and smiled, "Why, you don't experience such an occasion very much?"

"It's not that it's not very experienced, it's that it's never been experienced. Lin Rui said slowly, "These people make me nervous. ”

"It's right to be nervous, because the people here aren't good. Long Noon smiled, "No matter how well-dressed you are, you can't change that." This is the most brutal group of people in the world. ”

Shogishi nodded, "The people who really eat people and don't spit out bones are not on the battlefield, but those with vested interests who stand behind the war. In a sense, this is also a battlefield. "He looked very personable when he put on his gown and glasses.

Long Zhengwu smiled, held the wine glass and whispered, "Jiang'an, you take him to familiarize himself with this place." ”

Jiang An nodded, and took Lin Rui to wander around the hall casually and chat. "Did you see that person?" said Jiang An with a look at Lin Rui.

"What's wrong?" Lin Rui frowned slightly and looked at him as he looked over, a middle-aged man with a straight figure was chatting and laughing among several people.

"He is the representative of the Deyang Group, a very large company, the largest military logistics contractor in the United States, which is basically responsible for the maintenance and transportation of American military aircraft. They also have security contracts, and the defense of the Afghan military and political leaders is done by the contractor of the Deyang Group hired by the US Foreign Department at the expense of the US Foreign Department. On the surface, they seem to be very formal companies, but in fact, they also have their secrets in some troubled areas of Africa and South America. "Shogan said slowly.

"I've heard a little bit about Deyang Company, and they are also a giant in the international mercenary industry. Lin Rui nodded.

"The woman next to him is even more incredible, she belongs to the Titan Corporation. Founded in San Diego in 1981, this company is a major supplier of national security and homeland security products. Major services include homeland security and the war on terrorism, and the provision of C4ISR systems to the U.S. and Allied forces. Most of our clients are defense intelligence and other government law enforcement agencies. It has annual sales revenue of more than $2 billion and employs 12,000 people. The business is in 12 countries around the world. The company is also listed on the New York Stock Exchange. Jiang Jian said in a low voice.

"Another private military giant. Lin Rui couldn't help but smile bitterly, "Compared to them, we are just a little troublesome." ”

"But compared to the big guy in front, they're nothing. If they are giants, then the one in front can be said to be a prehistoric giant. "Lockheed Martin, the world's largest defense industry contractor in terms of turnover." mastered a third of the aviation industry in the United States. But unlike us, they play high-end industry. And we can only be considered labor at best. ”

"I read too little, so I had to work as a coolie. Lin Rui touched his nose and said, "How many people can Morningstar rank among these people?"

"When it comes to military services, Morningstar is at least in the top five. However, in terms of deep financial resources, of course, it cannot be compared with giants like Lockheed Martin and Boeing. Long Noon is right, this is a military club, and it is also a group of business leaders who chase the interests of war. "Shogishi said lightly.

"Aren't we the same?" said Lin Rui slowly.

"Yes, so do we, and nowhere near as strong as they are. Jiang Yan whispered, "Let's go, I'll take you around, you have to learn to fit into this circle." Otherwise, it will be regarded as an outlier. ”

Long Noon walked into the crowd with a glass of wine and greeted many people. Not many in the crowd knew him, but just smiled politely at him. But those who knew him did not change color, and their expressions became extremely solemn.

Finally, the representative of the Deyang Group walked into the crowd, smiled and raised his glass, "Ladies and gentlemen, the main purpose of our gathering today is to welcome a new member. This new member is a mysterious, having obtained the highest level of military contracting qualification in just a few months. But even I don't know who he is. I didn't recognize him until just now, and our old friend Mr. Long Noon is back. ”

The crowd was almost silent, and all eyes were on the fat man.

Long Noon smiled, walked out, and said helplessly, "I'm actually not a mystery, especially for some old friends. At best, it can only be regarded as a little low-key, you know that I am a Chinese, and the average Chinese are more modest. His words drew laughter from some.

"Mr. Long, but I'm curious, as far as we know, you've been gone for a long time, why did you come back?" said the beautiful woman representing the Titan Corporation.

"Well, maybe it's because my fast food restaurant margins are too thin. And my belly is so blessed. There's no way, in order to keep my body from being starved and thin, I can only come back to my old job. Long Noon solemnly hugged his beer belly.

"I'm against it. Joe finally broke away from the crowd and walked out, he sneered, "This Mr. Long is one of the board members of our Morningstar Corporation. It doesn't seem appropriate that he's reappearing here as the Black Isle Military Company now. ”

Long Zhengwu looked at Qiao and said with a slight smile, "I don't know what you mean by inappropriate? Everyone here may have more than one company, right? There are many who even hold shares in several large companies at the same time, which is nothing new." Besides, to be a member of the management committee is to obtain the highest level of military contracting qualification, and this rule has never changed, right?"

"Hmph, then I'm going to ask you. Which side of the interests does this Mr. Long standing here represent?Is it the Morningstar Company, or is it your unknown Black Island Company?" Qiao said coldly.

"What's the difference?" Long said with a smile at noon, "Whether it's Morningstar or Black Island, they are all members of this circle, and the purpose of our initial establishment of this management committee is to eliminate internal conflicts and maintain common interests. We may be competitors in business, but from the Commission's standpoint, our interests are the same. ”

"Mr. Long's words are indeed very reasonable, and the purpose of the management committee is indeed true. Joe, this is a business field, and the business field must have the rules of the business field. We don't care what the conflict is between Morningstar and Black Island, but you can't use that as a reason to attack Mr. Dragon. That's what the Governing Board does. The representative of Lockheed Martin walked out with a smile and stretched out his hand to Long Noon, "Mr. Long, welcome to join." ”

Joe's face became a little ugly, he knew the background and power of Lockheed Martin. Since they spoke strongly in favor of Long Noon, there will be no doubt that Long Noon and the Black Island Company will enter the management committee. Sure enough, representatives of some large military companies came forward one after another to congratulate Long at noon
