Chapter 202: Can't Talk
Finding the address Morgan had given him, a sixty-story building, and looking at the big sign of Tomler Global Defense Consulting hanging at the top of the building, Gao Yang knew he was in the wrong place.
The person Gao Yang is looking for is called Smith? Tomler, owner of the Tomler Building, owner of Tomler Global Defense Consulting.
Smith Tombler's financial strength can already be seen in owning a 60-story building in the downtown area of New York, but Smith Tombler's most important source of wealth is his defense consulting company, of course, the so-called defense information company is just a legitimate cloak for intelligence brokers and warmongers.
There weren't many employees at the Tomler Defense Company, so all but the top floor of the Tomler Building was rented out.
Tomler Defense has a dedicated elevator in the building, but if you want to take the elevator directly under Tomler Defense, you need to confirm your identity at one of the reception desks in front of the elevator, and of course, you can make an appointment.
Gao Yang is pinching the time, when he arrived at the top floor, as soon as he got out of the elevator, it was a reception desk, a young and beautiful female front desk staff saw Gao Yang come out, and said with a smile: "Hello sir, do you have an appointment?" ”
Gao Yang nodded and said, "Hello, my name is Ram, and I will meet Mr. Tomler at about 1:45. ”
The hostess looked at the computer in front of her, pointed to the sofa next to her, and smiled, "Mr. Tomler is meeting a guest, I will see you in about five minutes, please wait a moment."
Gao Yang sat on the sofa and waited for about five minutes, but when the hour hand on his watch stopped at 1:45, a woman dressed as a secretary hurriedly walked up to Gao Yang. Wen Sheng said: "Is it Mr. Ram?" Please follow me. ”
Not a single point off. Smith Tomber was very punctual. Led by the female secretary, Gao Yang walked through a long corridor and came to Smith Tomber's office, and at this time, a middle-aged man with slightly bald hair just came out of the office, the middle-aged man looked disappointed and lonely, and after seeing the female secretary and Gao Yang, he squeezed out a smile at the female secretary and left in a hurry.
The female secretary knocked on the door. Softly said, "Mr. Tomler, Mr. Ram has arrived, do you need to postpone the meeting?" ”
A man's voice came from inside, "Please come in, Mr. Gao." ”
The female secretary pushed open the door, and Gao Yang walked in, and there was only one man in his sixties in the office, who must have been Smith Stormer.
Smith Stormler looked in his sixties, was fat, had a big belly, and looked amiable with a smile on his face.
Gao Yang stood in the room. "It's an honor to meet you, Mr. Tomler," he said. ”
Smith Stormler sat behind a huge desk. Although he stood up, he didn't mean to shake hands with Gao Yang, but for the identity gap between Smith Tombler and Gao Yang, Smith Tombler's ability to stand up can be regarded as giving Gao Yang enough face.
"It's a pleasure to meet you, Mr. Ram, please sit down and we'll have a casual chat."
After adding the word sir to the ram, Gao Yang felt awkward, and after he sat down on the sofa, Smith Tombler smiled and said: "Mr. Gao, let's get straight to the point, my friend Puyol said that I should meet you, he said that you have a great small mercenary group, I am very interested in your mercenary group, and I also hope that we can reach a cooperation, so I think we should be honest, Mr. Gao, may I ask what is the name of your mercenary group, how many people are there, What are the units where your members come from, and what are your records? ”
"My mercenary group is called the Old One's Mercenary Regiment, and there are five of us including me, we fought in Libya in Misrata and Tripoli, and we just conducted a hostage rescue operation in Tijuana."
Smith Tomber frowned and said, "That's all?" ”
Gao Yang had already said everything he could say, so he nodded and said, "That's all." ”
Smith Stormler shook his head and said, "I know you are a small mercenary group, but I didn't expect that there are only five people, frankly speaking, I have almost no tasks here that are suitable for you, and whether it is five people or five hundred people, my people need to put in almost the same effort, but maybe I will encounter a job that requires a super small mercenary group like you in the future, so, I think we can still cooperate." ”
Gao Yang nodded and said, "I hope so, Mr. Tomler." ”
"Please tell me which units your members are from? Also, how are your records? Rest assured, I'm a professional broker and I won't share your information with anyone, but I have to know what to do. ”
"Of our people, one is from Huaxia, well, special forces, one is from the Russian Airborne Forces, and the other three, including me, have no military experience, but all of us have been trained in Israel."
The look of disappointment on Smith's face flickered, but he saw it anyway, which made him no longer have the slightest hope in his heart for the outcome of the meeting, because by all the signs that appeared, Smith Tomber did not take him seriously in the first place.
Gao Yang did not expect Smith to see him as an equal negotiator, but Smith Tomber's contempt still made him feel very uncomfortable, and although Smith Tomber had a smile on his face all the time, the meaning of contempt was evident from the beginning of the conversation.
"Okay, Ram, I'm a guy who likes to go straight, so I'll have something to say, and frankly, I don't think we need to cooperate, but Puyol has solemnly recommended you to me, so I can't ignore his friendship, so let's make a contract for trial cooperation."
Gao Yang smiled and did not speak, and Smith Tomber had no intention of asking Gao Yang's opinion, still taking care of himself: "First, if there is a task for you, you better not refuse easily, of course you have the right to refuse, but if you refuse once, we will terminate the partnership."
Second, if there is a suitable task for you, you have to pay a deposit of 30% of the total commission upfront, and if the task is successfully completed, you get the full commission, and I will keep the 30% deposit, and if the task fails, you will not get a cent.
These are these two conditions, and the reason why these two conditions are put forward is because the success rate of the task that I recommended and finally reached the cooperation with is 92%, which is a very, very high success rate, and I don't want anyone to reduce my success rate, and I don't want to be unprofitable after half a day's work. ”
Smith Tombler's conditions, Gao Yang can not agree to a single one, first of all, there is a task must be accepted, this is absolutely impossible, if it is clear to be a cannon fodder The task can be followed, the second point is even more ridiculous, you have to pay a deposit before taking the task, this kind of thing is a fool's job.
Smith Tomber didn't want to cooperate with Gao Yang at all, and both of them knew this, but both of them were involved in this matter because they had friends, so they still completed all the processes that should be in a business negotiation, and Smith Tombler made conditions, and Gao Yang chose to refuse.
Gao Yang doesn't have the habit of slapping you in the face if you dare to look down on me, this is just a business, just forget it if you can't talk about it, there is no need to stage a scene of pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger, and there is no need to prove to Smith Stormler how awesome he is, no matter how awesome the Satan mercenary group is, the money that can be earned by Smith Stoner is only a fraction for others.
If Gao Yang came on behalf of Deyang Group, the treatment he received was definitely not what he is now, in the final analysis, it was still a matter of strength.
Smith Tomber has always shown the attitude that a businessman should have, and he also showed enough respect for Gao Yang, so Gao Yang also showed the attitude he should have, he stood up, walked to Smith Tomber's desk, and smiled: "It's a pity, I can't accept your conditions, it seems that we can't reach a cooperation at present, I hope to have the opportunity to cooperate with your company in the future, sorry to bother you, zaijian." ”
Gao Yang smiled, neither humble nor arrogant After rejecting Smith Tomber, Smith Tomber's eyes showed a trace of appreciation for Gao Yang, he stood up, took the initiative to stretch out his hand, and when Gao Yang shook hands with him, he smiled and said: "It's a pity that we can't reach an agreement, but no matter what the result is, this is a pleasant meeting, I believe we will have a day of cooperation, I hope you can still consider our company at that time, zaijian, Mr. Ram." ”
Bidding farewell to Smith Stormler, Gao Yang immediately left the place of Tomler Global Defense Consulting, and after he took the elevator down to the lobby on the first floor, the smile on Gao Yang's face disappeared, and he was replaced with a depressed expression.
Gao Yang was going to go back to the hotel immediately, but before leaving, Gao Yang wanted to tell Morgan the result of this meeting, although he was despised and failed to achieve the desired result, but Gao Yang still had to thank Morgan and which of his friends, after all, people were kind, and it was a personal favor to give him the opportunity to get this meeting, so Gao Yang had to say Xiexie to Morgan and his friends.
"You've failed too?"
When Gao Yang was pulling out the phone, he heard a weak voice ringing next to him, Gao Yang looked up, but saw a middle-aged man with slightly bald hair looking at him with a depressed face, Gao Yang quickly remembered that this person was the one who came out of Smith Tomber's office before.
Gao Yang didn't know what this person wanted to do, so he just nodded and didn't speak, and then the middle-aged man smiled bitterly, then stretched out his hand to Gao Yang and said, "Donnie? Copperfield II, you can call me Downey Jr., man, don't be too disappointed, we're not at the point where we have no way out, are we? ”
Although Gao Yang felt a little inexplicable, he still shook hands with Downey Jr. and said, "You can call me a ram." ”
Little Downey held Gao Yang's hand, looked at Gao Yang in surprise, and said, "Your name is a ram?" It's obviously not a name that a broker should have, so you're not an agent, you're a mercenary? (To be continued......)
