"Why are they reluctant to accept it?"

"They said that the arms companies were taking too much risk, and that the officers on active duty could not hold any positions in the arms companies, and they asked us if we could get a stake in the oil companies. ”

Lin Fan scratched his head irritably, he had run into trouble with what he thought was foolproof. The military is far more stable than politics, after all, they don't need elections, as long as they have a military rank, they can work almost until retirement, and even if they retire, they can still maintain a huge influence in the military system.

So Lin Fan was looking forward to cooperating with these army bigwigs, but he didn't expect that reality directly gave Lin Fan a big mouth. They didn't even want shares in arms companies, but in oil companies.

"Nobody wants to ask for one? Arms are more profitable than oil. ”

Colt shook his head, "Boss, it may be that we didn't think it through, after all, our arms and weapons will definitely go out, maybe in the hands of the Libyan rebels, maybe they will appear on the battlefield in Iraq, after all, we are an American arms company, and things are very troublesome here." ”

What Lin Fan can do, he is also very helpless, "Then allocate ten percent of the shares to the Poseidon Foundation and invite them to participate in the foundation." ”

"Okay, boss. ”

So far, Lin Fan can only comfort himself like this, anyway, the shares are always his own, but he is just losing some money, as long as he can achieve his goal.

"Boss, and good news. ”

"Oh?"

"Secretary of Energy Larty called me yesterday and said that as long as CANOC has the goods, he will eat them all on behalf of the US government, and he will buy them at a price five percent above the market price, but he needs us to escort them to the United States. ”

Lin Fan immediately smiled, this Rati is definitely suitable for being a profiteer. This reason for the need for an escort can dispel many people's doubts about the 5% price increase, but in fact, the transportation of the Central African Oil Company is all organized by the US Department of Commerce, and the Central African Oil Company only has to undertake the security work, and the Central African Oil Company and Sword Security are partners, which means that the Central African Oil Company does not have to spend any extra cost to earn an extra 5 percent.

And this 5 percent will go into the pockets of many shareholders, and Ratty is one of them.

"Very good news. Lin Fan's depression because of the military's refusal suddenly dissipated.

Colt saw that Lin Fan was still a little depressed, "Boss, maybe it would be better for the military to join, maybe we will have free military frigates to use in the future." ”

Lin Fan was stunned for a moment, and then laughed, I have to say that Colt's idea is very likely to be realized.

Just then, there was a knock on the door of the villa, and the bodyguard reported, "Boss, a Mr. Seeley has come to visit you. ”

Lin Fan shook his head helplessly, he really didn't have any secrets about the CIA, this was the villa he bought in New York, but he didn't expect Xili to come to the door immediately.

In the back garden of the villa, the sun is very good, and the two goblets are even more crystal clear in the sunlight.

"Sometimes, I envy the life of your merchants, basking in the sun, attending dinner parties, and making a lot of money. ”

Lin Fan was wearing sunglasses, making it impossible to see what he was thinking, "As long as Mr. Seely is willing, you can become a billionaire in no time." Modern times are an information society, and as long as you have the information and sell it to those who need it, you can become a billionaire in minutes. ”

"In fact, many CIA employees sell out information, but it doesn't bring them a lot of income, first, because we focus more on security intelligence, and second, they lack powerful buyers. ”

Lin Fan scoffed at Xili's explanation, and the prism scandal broke out later, and the world learned that the CIA had long cooperated with Apple and many other Internet companies to monitor users around the world. However, it is also true that the salary of CIA staff is not high, and an agent with a year of service is only in a state of food and clothing.

"Well, I think we should stop this topic, I'm afraid you'll arrest me in the next second. ”

Seeley laughed, "You're my friend, how could I arrest you?"

"Of course, I'm looking forward to the CIA's surprise from the director. ”

Xili took out a document from his briefcase and handed it to Lin Fan, Lin Fan was stunned, "What is this?"

"Armed licenses, your sword security company needs them a lot. ”

Lin Fan instantly woke up, an armed license is a powerful thing, this is a license to obtain the permission of the country where he is located to conduct military operations in that country.

"What does that mean?"

"Is your security company going to be a security guard in Africa all the time? Stop it, man, war is the most lucrative business. This is an Iraqi armed license, and they need a lot of mercenaries there. Xili patiently explained to Lin Fan, "Why can Blackwater rise rapidly? It is because it seized the opportunity of the Iraq War. But last year's prison abuse scandal ruined Blackwater's reputation in Iraq, and while they're still working, it's a good opportunity for you to get in. ”

Fortunately, Lin Fan was wearing sunglasses, otherwise Xili would have seen Lin Fan's eyes full of astonishment. This is different from what Lin Fan imagined, war? This is too far away from him.

"Do you know why those military guys don't want to take your arms company's money, even if it's just as a nominal advisor?"

Lin Fan calmed himself down and said, "I can guess one thing, the flow of arms into belligerents is very sensitive. ”

"That's right, but security companies are different. The U.S. military, due to its own strength and some political reasons, needs the help of many mercenaries around the world, such as Blackwater, which is one of the three major private security companies that the Department of Defense cooperates with. If you ask the military to share the dividends of the security company, they will be happy. ”

It is undeniable that Xili's words opened up a new way of thinking for Lin Fan. He can even think of the Sword Security Company, which has the support of the top level of the US military, and will definitely get a lucrative order. And the order is likely to involve some secrets of the US military. The relationship between secrets and interests is far more stable than pure interests, and Lin Fan was moved.

"I have to say that this surprise from Mr. Seeley is great, but how can I work with the Ministry of Defense?"

"It's very simple, hire some retired CIA or FBI officials to enter the sword, invite the Department of Defense to invest in shares, and then prepare a foundation to invite some high-ranking military officials to share dividends as directors, in order to make more money for yourself, they will definitely give you enough orders. ”

Lin Fan stroked his palm and smiled, "Great idea, but what can I do for Mr. Seely?"

Xili suddenly smiled, he liked Lin Fan's cleverness, "I have a monopoly of five percent of the share dividends." ”

Lin Fan also smiled, Xili is very smart, he only needs dividends, not shares. Because he understands that once he steps down from the position of director of the CIA, he will be of little use.

"No, I don't think that's enough, I want to make another offer for Mr. Seeley, and the day Mr. Seeley retires will be the day he becomes the CEO of Sword Security. ”

Seely was stunned for a moment, then laughed.......
