Chapter 153: Out to Sea

"Mr. Xu. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 Info: Scott, who was burly and looked more like a fitness trainer than an accountant, hurriedly stepped forward to greet him when he saw the promise. The facial lines are hard, and Scott, a typical muscular man, greeted him with a smile on his face, and he kept sighing in his heart when he saw the promise. Franklin's charm is really big.

"How?" The weather in the City of Angels was very hot, and after he got off the plane, he took off his coat and put it on his arm.

"Mr. Murdoch awaits you on his yacht." Although he promised to act alone as a billionaire and not worry about his own safety at all, Scott knew what his job was: "Mr. Murdoch said he looked forward to meeting you, and he invited you to go fishing with him. ”

"Fishing?" Xu Promise's personality is a little impatient, and he doesn't have much interest in patient work like fishing. But he also knew that fishing was just a reason to meet in private. With this strength, it is natural to be able to enter this circle. Although his interest is not very great.

"Then go ahead." After figuring it out, Promise got into a stretched Lincoln that came to greet him.

"Mr. Xu." Scott, who got into the car together, thought for a while and then opened his mouth to persuade, "You are worth a lot of money now, do you need to have some security when you go out?" After all, there are many outlaws in this world, and they dare to do anything when they go crazy. ”

"Huh?" Xu Promise was a little surprised, and said that the people in this world who dared to come to fight my idea were real warriors. But he said, "You have a point." ”

Scott's heart moved when he heard this, and he hurriedly introduced, "Our firm has business contacts with Blackwater, and I can contact Blackwater if you need it." They are the top and most professional. ”

"How long does it take to get to the docks?" Scott was slightly stunned when he suddenly asked an unrelated topic, but he quickly reacted, "If you don't get stuck in traffic, about thirty minutes." ”

"Oh." Xu Promise nodded, "Then you can introduce the Blackwater Company." ”

"That's right, Mr. Xu." Scott pondered his words for a moment before explaining, "Blackwater's employees are all retired special forces and former CIA agents, and they are the most professional elite. They are well-armed and skilled. The types of services are divided into armed drivers, security consultants, round-the-clock bodyguards, and top bodyguards. Prices are usually in the range of $1,000 a day. And the company also offers guard dog services, and a variety of highly trained and powerful dogs can be bought out for tens of thousands of dollars. ”

Seeing that it was still early to go to the pier, he promised to lean comfortably on the back of the seat and look at the beautiful scenery outside the window, "Is there any difference between these?" ”

"Bodyguards basically don't do chores like driving." Scott seems to know a lot about this business, and when he says it, he says, "So although the armed driver is also equipped with a gun, his main job is to drive." Wages start at about $600 a day. A safety consultant is a temporary worker who is responsible for protecting the lives of employers, and is also charged on a daily basis, ranging from about $800 to $1,000 per day. Round-the-clock bodyguards are contracted to protect employers and their designated personnel 24 hours a day, and their asking prices are relatively high, usually more than $1,200 a day. ”

"Wait a minute." Xu Yu frowned suspiciously, "These all-weather bodyguards are talking twenty-four hours a day, don't you need to rest?" ”

"Of course it's a break." Scott explained with a smile, "Security consultants are basically a one-man type who checks out the bill after one mission. However, round-the-clock bodyguards are dispatched in groups, and at least ten or more are hired at one time. They work in three shifts within 24 hours, with at least three bodyguards on each shift and changing shifts every eight hours. ”

"I see." Xu Promise nodded, and then asked, "What do you mean by the top bodyguard?" ”

"Top bodyguards are celebrities in the industry, and they are all aces in related industries before entering the industry." Scott explained: "They are basically the top elite agents, not only skilled, but also because they have been agents, they are level-headed and very experienced. The ability to protect security is outstanding. Of course, the price is also very good. ”

"How much?" Promise an inquiring with interest.

"These top security personnel basically start at $2,000 a day, and they have to sign long-term contracts and be given high insurance." Scott's words made the promise smack slightly. The top bodyguards make more than they can earn in a single day than they promised for several months. However, this is a desperate amount of money, and it is natural that the asking price is higher.

"Blackwater has also trained many professional guard dogs, and has even delivered military dogs to Navy SEALs, so there is no doubt about their capabilities." After Scott finished speaking, he asked aloud, "Mr. Xu, do you need me to contact Blackwater for you?" ”

"There's no hurry." Xu Promise smiled, "Let me think about it." ”

------

The morning rush hour had passed, and Lincoln, who had promised to sit, came to the marina smoothly and unimpeded. Here, an elegant and unique ivory brig worth more than $30 million is already waiting here. The closer I got, the more I can feel how beautiful the ship is.

"I've been thinking about what kind of bearing such a young and bold young man has." An old man with gray hair, rimless glasses, a wrinkled face, and a huge nose stood at the ramp of the yacht, waiting for a promise. Although he is already in his eighties, Murdoch, whose eyes are still full of shrewdness, looked at Xu Promise and nodded, "Now that I see you, I really didn't disappoint." ”

Under normal circumstances, these words would make the listener feel very awkward, but if it were replaced by an ordinary person who was so praised by the world's top richest man in the position of promising at the moment, he must be in a state of excitement. After all, that's Rupert. Murdoch. A legend who is still alive.

Rupert. Murdoch. Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of News Corp., the world's top media empire. It took him a lifetime to grow his small newspaper in Adelaide, Australia, from an obscure local newspaper to one of the world's top media groups. Along with Time Warner, Viacom and Disney.

Twentieth Century Fox, Sky TV, Fox Network, Asia TV, The Times, Dow Jones & Co., and SoftBank, which is familiar to all investors. These dazzling names represent wealth worth more than 10 billion.

The approval of such a big man is enough for ordinary people to shed tears. Unfortunately, Promise is not an ordinary person.

"I've heard of it for a long time." The psychological quality of the promise that aliens have seen has already reached a point where it is not alarming, although the names of these world's top rich people are very loud and dazzling, but it is a pity that the promise at this moment is difficult to have any ups and downs.

After shaking hands vigorously with Promise, Murdoch's eyes flashed with a gleam.

In his impression, it was like a promise that a young man of his age would either look excited, or try to hide it, or pretend not to care when he saw him. But in fact, these mood swings have long been clearly observed by Murdoch, who has been on the go all his life.

As long as the mood is agitated, it will naturally reveal flaws. And Murdoch, who is old and shrewd, is like a fox, and he is very good at grasping these flaws to keep the conversation under control.

It's just that today's tried and tested trick has failed.

After shaking hands, Murdoch gestured for an invitation to the ship.

Murdoch was a truly shrewd businessman and investor. No matter how big or small the business is, it will be taken very seriously, not to mention that this is a deal worth hundreds of millions of dollars.

As for the background of this potential buyer, he had no interest in knowing. All he thinks about is how to maximize his profits, which is a quality that all good businessmen must have.

Obviously, Promise is not a qualified businessman.

Once the promise was made, the brig, known as the Ardent Rose, set sail. After standing on the bow of the boat and feeling the sea breeze, Xu and Murdoch, accompanied by several staff members, went to the large living room inside to discuss relevant matters.

The interior of this ship is modern and simple, with vast spaces and exquisite decorations. Sit on a huge bench sofa and drink wine, with the side of the ship and the sea behind you. It's a very good feeling.

"Xu." Murdoch raised his glass to the promise, "Welcome to my ship." I'm usually very busy at work, and this boat is always used by my wife, who loves it. This time, I also got your light, and I drove the boat out for the sake of business. ”

Murdoch's slightly humorous jokes are very intimate and can bring the two sides closer in the shortest possible time. These fame figures are able to stand out in the rough waves, and none of them will be simple characters.

"Thank you for the invitation, and I'm honored too." Xu Promise raised the wine glass in his hand and responded with a chuckle, "I'm also very busy with work, and I like this rare leisure and relaxation." ”

For the next period of time, the two sides have been greeting each other in polite greetings, constantly figuring out each other's details, just like two foxes, one big and one small, constantly testing each other. It wasn't until he got tired of it that he ended the game, "Mr. Murdoch, frankly, I'm interested in the Lanai you own, I wonder if there's anything to talk about?" ”

"There's no business in this world that can't be discussed." After getting to the point, Murdoch immediately changed from a kind old man to a predator in the business world, "As long as we are both satisfied, then business can be discussed." ”

"Good." Xu Promise nodded, raised his hand and drank the red wine in the glass, "I want Lanai, how many Franklins do you think will satisfy you?" (To be continued.) )
