Chapter 504: Military Board of Directors
The Pentagon has been trying to instill in the United States the concept to the world that the American military can be sufficient to ensure the safety of American citizens and to protect American interests around the world.
But the fact is that both the 911 incident and the performance on the battlefield in Iraq have slapped the US military in the face, and for this reason, the US military has also completely put its mind to it, and since the military is not suitable for doing some things, they will be handed over to the right people to do. On the battlefield in Iraq alone, there are more than 200 mercenary companies operating in action.
"Mr. Wright, I am honored to be able to invite you to afternoon tea. Lin Fan had to sigh, it's really good in the capitalist world, you have money and you can even eat and drink tea with the real power figures of the country, everyone is captured by money, working for money, and it is easy to open the door for money.
"Mr. Lin's banquet a few days ago was very famous, but unfortunately I didn't have the opportunity to attend. ”
Wright showed a faint regret on his face, not knowing whether he regretted not being able to attend the banquet or regretting not being able to attend the money-sharing conference.
"I wonder if Mr. Wright knows that I have a new security company?"
"Of course, Mr. Lin is so generous, Blackwater currently has more than 20,000 employees in the world, and Mr. Lin's Sword Security Company directly has a quarter of the scale of Blackwater. ”
"But a lot of times a lot of people doesn't mean everything, not to mention that it's a business, and if there is no input, I will soon be unable to support it. ”
Before the 911 incident, Blackwater had only a few dozen employees, but with the outbreak of the terrorist incident and the defeat on the battlefield, the United States urgently needed more forces to enter, so Blackwater seized this opportunity and grew rapidly in just a few years.
"So what is Mr. Lin's intention?"
"Mr. Wright, are you interested in joining my Sword Security Company?"
Wright was not surprised, in fact, Xili had already blown the wind on him, but he still wanted to hear Lin Fan's price.
"Why are you looking for me?"
"Actually, Mr. Wright is not the best collaborator, but the most suitable collaborator at the moment. As soon as Lin Fan opened his mouth, he was directly shocked.
Wright was noncommittal, "Oh?"
"Actually, how long can Mr. Wright be Secretary of Defense? At most, there are more than two years left in this administration, and then the Secretary of Defense will be replaced, and even if Mr. Wright can facilitate me, he will only be able to provide two years at most. And the orders of the Ministry of Defense are not the main source of income for my security company, my main battlefield is in Africa, we will join the various war camps in the form of mercenaries, and then muddy it, make a profit, and sell my arms by the way. ”
Wright suddenly laughed, "Mr. Lin, do you know what you're talking about? You said in front of the US Secretary of Defense that you want to sell weapons privately!"
"Don't mind, Mr. Wright, we're talking business, aren't we? We can't get along with anybody, but not with dollars. You're the Minister of Defense, but once you retire, you lose a lot of power. This is the reality of capitalist society, which is far inferior to our Huaxia, and even if we retire, we will still be supported by the state until we are old. Speaking of this, Lin Fan looked confident, "So my condition is that during your tenure as Minister of Defense, you will enjoy five percent of the company's dividends, and after you retire, you will permanently enjoy part of the company's shares according to your contributions." ”
"By the way, I hope you can maintain your confidence in Sword Security. After all, I'm not the low-level merchant special forces who founded Blackwater, I have enough funds, as long as the sword has a chance, he will develop quickly and become a behemoth. So, would you consider becoming a member of the Board of Blades now?"
Wright's brow is furrowed, and there is no one who does not like the dollar. In American society, once the president retires, he can only make a living by going to college to give speeches or publishing books, because taxpayer money does not support the waste. Even if the military is above the government, once he leaves the post of defense minister, he is only a general, and he is still an ordinary general.
"Tell us about our board members. ”
"FBI Director Quentness, CIA Director Silly Leon, Capitol Police Monte Getu Director, Marine Corps Goth Simon, Middle East Commander of the Department of Defense Admiral Ridan Ami. ”
Wright's eyes narrowed suddenly, he could imagine the power of this group of people combined, which meant that Su Du could receive orders from the Capitol Police Department to train Capitol police, from the Marine Corps to assist in defense, from the Iran-Iraq battlefield and even Afghanistan to receive lucrative war orders, and even from the CIA and FBI intelligence support in the process of implementation.......
"Mr. Lin is really big enough to bring so many people together. ”
"Actually, I didn't expect it, but the magic of the world is that as long as you dare to think and dare to do, you can succeed. I didn't expect me to succeed either, but now I do. Even I can only sigh that my idea is a genius idea. ”
Wright immediately smiled, "I'd like to join this genius group." ”
"In the coming year, regardless of whether Sharp Sword has any income, Mr. Wright will receive a dividend of $20 million from the company. ”
"This?" Wright's breath couldn't help but thicken, even though he was Secretary of Defense, his annual salary was less than a million dollars. At this moment, he finally understood why no one had ever been able to bring them together, because not everyone could have such a big hand as Lin Fan.
Lin Fan blinked, "This is just a small meaning, in fact, I have always believed that the real rich man is by no means a person who eats alone, he should give wealth to everyone, and he should assume the responsibility of society, what do you think?" ”
Of course, Mr. Lin is right. ”
Lin Fan laughed, "This business is actually very cost-effective, what I pay is money and resources, what you pay is just a little power, there is no corruption, no bribery, no betrayal, just another choice under the same conditions." This kind of money we earn very steadily. ”
Wright nodded, he did think the same way, but he was a little inclined to Lin Fan's company when placing an order, these are nothing at all, and no one can find fault with it.
"But I heard that there are a lot of Chinese special forces in the Sword Security Company, and I am afraid that there will be some misunderstandings about the orders that the Ministry of Defense needs to handle. ”
Lin Fan stroked his palm and smiled, "Very good, Mr. Wright is starting to think about the company now." But don't worry, sir, the proportion of employees in the company will be less than one-tenth or even less, and we can even do not need these people to work in sensitive areas as long as the Ministry of Defense needs it. In addition, retired officials of the CIA and FBI will also enter the work of Sword, please believe in the absolute purity of Sword. ”
Wright couldn't help laughing, "Mr. Lin really deserves to be a businessman, and he is very thoughtful in all aspects. ”
Lin Fan couldn't help laughing, absorbing the heads of all parties into the Sword Security Company, and at the same time investing in promising military officials and intelligence agency officials, within ten years, Sword will definitely become a super complex interest organization, and then this is where Lin Fan's courage lies in the United States!
