Pang Jindong quickly thought that there was such a person by his side - Liao Chenghao, after a period of observation and understanding, Pang Jindong thought that he had all of the above conditions, but Pang Jindong wanted more than just Liao Chenghao himself.

Perhaps because of the economic crisis, many villas next to Pang Jindong's house began to change hands. In order not to disturb Pang Jindong, Pang Peike and his wife used their savings to buy one of them and moved in with Pang Yanghuan.

After Pang Jindong helped them take care of these things, he found an opportunity to talk to Liao Chenghao alone.

"We are all soldiers, although we belong to different types of armies, and our past experiences are completely different, but this can't change our essence as soldiers, so ......" Pang Jindong shrugged his shoulders and said to Liao Chenghao straight to the point: "Let's stop going around the bush, let's get straight to the point!"

Liao Chenghao realized that Pang Jindong had something important to discuss, and nodded sternly: "Boss, if there is anything I need to do, just say it!"

"You've been working with me for a while, and although I haven't told you anything about myself, I believe you should know who I am!"

"Chairman of the Imperial Holding Group ......" hesitated for a moment before Liao Chenghao continued: "It's still the deputy commander-in-chief of the Kokang Republican Army and the ...... of the Blood Lion Legion."

Pang Jindong waved his hand and interrupted Liao Chenghao: "I don't need you to introduce myself to me, I just want you to know what I need most now." ”

Liao Chenghao replied almost without thinking: "People!"

"That's right, you're smart. Pang Jindong nodded immediately, pleased with Liao Chenghao's keen observation: "Both the Blood Lion Legion and the Kokang Republican Army have now entered a period of rapid development, and they need people with enough experience and talent. Of course, I recruit a lot from abroad, but for many reasons I want my compatriots to be in the majority among these people......"

Pang Jindong's so-called "many reasons", Liao Chenghao only guessed two, one is that Pang Jindong has a natural sense of intimacy with his compatriots;

Second, domestic soldiers are relatively high-quality and hard-working.

In fact, there is a third reason, that is, the domestic labor cost is low, but Liao Chenghao did not expect it, and Pang Jindong did not say it.

The Blood Lion Legion is now recruiting soldiers in the country, giving priority to those who have military experience, but most of the recruits who come to recruit are demobilized from ordinary troops, and very few come from the elite main forces, and some people have not fired a few shots even after two or three years of being soldiers.

In this case, Pang Jindong thought of using Liao Chenghao's past connections in the army to recruit a group of truly powerful retired soldiers.

Liao Chenghao has superiors and comrades-in-arms, and his superiors and comrades-in-arms also have their own superiors and comrades-in-arms, and according to the theory of six degrees of space, a network covering the entire domestic army and retired personnel can be established.

If it is fully utilized, it means that there is an additional channel for conscription.

There was no need for Pang Jindong to explain further, Liao Chenghao already understood: "I will mobilize all my comrades-in-arms in the past." ”

"I'm going to give them a good deal, but you have to make them understand that our army is not one of those things that hasn't fought in the country, and that joining us means bloodshed, wounded and even sacrificed. ”

Liao Chenghao nodded vigorously again: "I understand!"

"The most important thing in the construction of a modern army is to have a strong contingent of officers, and I hope you can introduce me to more demobilized officers. ”

"This ......" Liao Chenghao looked embarrassed and did not speak immediately, as if he was thinking of more appropriate words. After a while, he said with some hesitation: "I can introduce my comrades to you, but officers...... I think it's better to forget it......"

When Pang Jindong saw Liao Chenghao's appearance, he naturally thought that there was a difficulty: "If you are very difficult, forget it." ”

"I'm not embarrassed, but for your own good......

Pang Jindong was confused by this sentence: "I don't understand what you mean!"

Liao Chenghao took a deep breath and simply said, "I mean, it's better to be a soldier than an officer!"

Pang Jindong immediately asked, "Why?"

Liao Chenghao hesitated for a moment and did not make any further explanation: "Anyway, you just listen to me." ”

Pang Jindong can completely see that Liao Chenghao is a little difficult to say the specific reason, it is very likely that once he says it, it will destroy the image of the army he represents, and it may also affect the relationship between Liao Chenghao and his comrades.

Pang Jindong told Liao Chenghao: "If you refuse to explain the reason, I insist on appointing officers who have served in the domestic army, and I hope you will recommend some to me." ”

Liao Chenghao thought for a while and put forward a compromise proposal: "It's better to do this, I recommend our original regiment commander to you, you first let him be responsible for recruiting troops in the country, check his work ability, and then decide whether to absorb more demobilized cadres." ”

Pang Jindong could see that Liao Chenghao wanted to figure out that his regiment leader had proved something to himself, so he readily agreed: "Okay!"

Liao Chenghao's old regiment commander's name was Tong Kezhong, and like many other officers, he could not continue to be promoted after reaching a certain age, so he had to transfer to a local government.

Tong Kezhong has two options for changing jobs as a full-time group, either arranged by the state or self-employed. The rank of the main regiment corresponds to the local department level, but military cadres usually have to be reduced to half a level when they are transferred to other jobs, which means that they can only be at the deputy department level, and the specific destination may be government departments, public institutions, or enterprises.

Tong Kezhong considered that he did not have a strong relationship in the political circles, and it was difficult for him to enter a relatively good unit, and he might not even be able to get a real job, so he could only be a deputy director researcher who enjoyed the treatment of a deputy director, so he did not make the former choice, but settled all the transfer fees and housing provident funds that he should have received during his years of service with the army, and went to find a way out.

Tong Kezhong's original plan was to do business, but after tossing for a few years, he didn't make any money at all, but instead lost all his job transfer fees and housing provident fund.

However, he is still better than Liao Chenghao, who once went to the street to collect scrap, he is not so down, he is just idle at home.

Liao Chenghao easily found the former head of the regiment and gave a general introduction to Pang Jindong and the work that he needed to do.

After all these years of hard work, Tong Kezhong clearly realized that he no longer had any skills except for things related to the army, and now he had the opportunity to return to his old business, and he was very happy, and immediately agreed.

Liao Chenghao took Tong Kezhong to Pang Jindong's house in the afternoon of the same day.

Tong Kezhong is a man with axles, not tall, very strong, when he shook hands with Pang Jindong, Pang Jindong felt that his hand was very strong.

"Xiao Liao has already sued me, why are you looking for me...... Tong Kezhong sat opposite Pang Jindong with a big grin, and his voice was very loud: "For Xiao Liao's sake, I can agree, but I want to know what specific requirements Mr. Pang has." ”

Tong Kezhong was obviously very happy in his heart, but on the surface, he pretended to be very calm, and said that he was helping Pang Jindong, not Pang Jindong giving him a chance, and at the same time selling Liao Chenghao a face.

Pang Jindong often saw this set of efforts when dealing with officials, so he could see through it at a glance.

In addition, Pang Jindong also knew that his so-called "requirements" did not really refer to his own requirements for him, but to the treatment he could provide him.

Pang Jindong smiled indifferently and told Tong Kezhong: "You have no direct relationship with any of my enterprises and units, and you do not hold any positions in them, so I will not pay you a salary." Strictly speaking, we have a business relationship, and for every qualified soldier you provide me, I will pay a brokerage fee of 1,500 yuan. ”

Tong Kezhong scratched his head, so he said in embarrassment: "If Mr. Pang wants to cooperate in this way, it is better to go to the Talent Exchange Center!"

"Although we haven't been to the talent exchange center, we have found a lot of labor agencies. In general, we are quite satisfied with these companies, but they can only provide ordinary conscripts, and what we need most now are retired soldiers with proven combat skills and experience. ”

"It is precisely because Mr. Pang has this kind of requirement that we have to be suitable for each other, and I am afraid that we can't follow this way. Tong Kezhong said this, grinning: "Listening to Mr. Pang's meaning, it's a bit like human trafficking." ”

Pang Jindong didn't expect the other party to agree to his offer happily, and he was already mentally prepared to bargain.

Hearing Tong Kezhong say this at this time, Pang Jindong asked calmly: "I don't know if Mr. Tong has anything to mention:"

"I know that you just want to use my connections in the army and among the demobilized cadres, just like a pyramid scheme, to introduce people to your mercenaries and Kokang army. But have you ever thought that it would be very inefficient?"

Pang Jindong nodded: "Go on." ”

"I'm not saying that MLM is bad, but Mr. Pang, your method is obviously too primitive and backward, and a more efficient and scientific system should be established. Tong Kezhong paused, and without waiting for Pang Jindong to ask, he continued: "We can build a broad network, which is built on the basis of interpersonal relationships, with a backbone and branches, and a root. Through the guò people-to-people connection, to publish your information, through the guò trunk and branches to bring together those who are interested in joining to the 'root' - that is, me. ”

What Tong Kezhong said is very abstract and macroscopic, not concrete at all.

Pang Jindong estimated that he should already have a detailed idea, but he would not say it rashly when the prospects for cooperation between the two sides were still unclear.

In fact, the system that Tong Kezhong has set up is what Pang Jindong has already adopted, and the backbone and branches are all kinds of labor intermediary companies, and every time they recruit a certain number of qualified applicants, they are sent to the largest company.

This company is the "general agent" of the Blood Lion Legion in China, and is responsible for the final screening of all applicants, and then sends them to the designated place according to the requirements of the Blood Lion Legion.

This system has a good side and a bad side, and the good side is that it can save Pang Jindong a lot of energy and thought.

The bad side is that just like a lazy donkey grinding, you don't move without a whip, and this whip is money.

Moreover, these companies are very aware of their status, and not only often use various methods to blackmail Pang Jindong, but also often have discord with each other.

That is to say, the Blood Lion Legion now relies entirely on a large amount of capital investment to make this system barely function.

Tong Kezhong's idea is different from the existing system, that is, he will use a large number of his own people, straighten out the relationship between the whole system, integrate all the backbones and branches, and put them all under his own strict supervision.

Pang Jindong felt that if Tong Kezhong could do this, even if it could not completely replace the existing system, it would at least be a useful supplement, so he might as well let him do it.

So Pang Jindong nodded and said, "Good idea." ”

"If Mr. Pang wishes to give me this job, then he should be equipped with the necessary things for me. ”

"What do you need?"

When talking about this, Tong Kezhong put on the kind of official frame that Pang Jindong usually has, and when he spoke, he also made an official tone, and put forward a series of requirements to Pang Jindong as if it were taken for granted, including giving him an office, equipped with a special car and a full-time driver, etc.

Every time Tong Kezhong made a request, Liao Chenghao next to him felt a little more embarrassed, and often peeked at Pang Jindong with a wry smile.

Pang Jindong also felt that Tong Kezhong's requirements were a bit excessive, but for the sake of the long run, he still agreed to it all.

Tong Kezhong's request was quickly implemented, and the joint office of the Blood Lion Legion and the Kokang Republican Army in China was established at the headquarters of the Imperial Holding Group to be responsible for recruitment.

Of course, this office is very low-key, and the sign hanging outside only reads "Joint Office" in five big characters, and people who don't know what it really is like here.

Tong Kezhong served as the director of the office, and Pang Jindong made Pang Peike and Zhao Mengde deputy directors to supervise and restrain Tong Kezhong.

For this point, whether it is Pang Peike, Zhao Mengde or Tong Kezhong himself, they are very clear in their hearts.

However, these two are also responsible for the operation of the existing system, and they are not full-time like Tong Kezhong, so they are usually very busy.

Liao also stopped working as a security guard, but took up a key position in the joint office, where he was responsible for the final screening of candidates.

After these jobs were on the right track, Tong Kezhong found an opportunity and almost suddenly proposed to Pang Jindong that since he was actually working under Pang Jindong now, he should receive a salary.
