Most of Liuxi's acquisitions are focused on rare earths, as early as last year, it owned more than 6o% of the world's reserves, and sometimes helped Wuhan Iron and Steel after the annexation of Liugang to make some iron ore acquisitions, but with little success. Although Liu Xi has a variety of local governments around the world, he has slowly built up a network.

However, the Chinese government's investment background in WISCO still makes many governments have great hesitation about buying mines, and Liu Xi's help is also very limited.

After obtaining mineral resources, how to ensure that these resources can be held in Liu Xi's hands forever is a headache. Xu Daoqian's plan is to mine first in places where the political situation is unstable, and use the fleet of fast logistics to transport the raw ore back to China for storage.

But even so, it will take more than ten years for the mines in Egypt and Sudan to be dug clean.

Due to the political instability and the many ties between the local anti-government and the armed forces, ensuring the safety of the lives and property of the staff has been put on the agenda. According to the size of the mine, the number of employees dispatched to arrange the security work.

At present, most of them are sent abroad by the security department at a ratio of 15:1, and then the guns are purchased locally.

Fortunately, it is not illegal to own a gun in these countries, and of course, it will not make Liu Xi a force that threatens the regime.

There are more than 5o dispatched employees in the mine in Egypt, including the mine manager, various engineers, technicians, and senior employees, as well as more than 7oo Egyptian miners.

But there are only 4 security guards in total, although they are all fully equipped, it is impossible to get equipment like the US military, most of them are holding AK47 and other ordinary equipment.

And in a mine with more than 75o people, these 4 people are far from enough.

Just to protect the person in charge of the mine, you have to arrange 1 person, and the remaining 3 people have to protect more than 75o people?

No matter how you calculate it, it is difficult to do, Wei Jing proposed to set up her own mercenary company, but I am afraid that it will not be a momentary anger.

There are no private security companies such as mercenaries in the country, and there will be no such thing in the foreseeable future.

But Liu Xi is not a central enterprise that can arrange the armed police force to be stationed, and everything must rely on its own strength.

Multinational mineral giants such as Rio Tinto, BHP Billiton and Vale all have adequate security capabilities, and although most of them outsource their security to private security companies, they do their jobs to the best of their ability.

Hostage incidents like this have not happened for nothing, but every time those anti-government forces or sand thieves have paid the price of blood. Liu Xi has become a giant like Rio Tinto, so it also needs the same protection.

Yu Jun had already reminded Xu Daoqian, but due to time problems, he was still a step too slow.

Ellison was not at home, on the plane to Seattle, after hearing what Yu Jun said on the phone, he smiled and said: "That's how business grows, okay, I'll give you a call, Blackwater ......"

Yu Jun frowned and said, "Isn't the Prince family behind Blackwater Republican?" "

Yu Jun knew that he had a close relationship with Edward and Rockefeller, and for the all-pervasive Republican Party, the intelligence may have been in his hands for a long time, so it would be boring to invite someone from Blackwater again?

Even if Heishui agrees, it is difficult to guarantee that they will not collude with the local anti-government forces or robbers, and after an accident, they will be able to get rid of it.

Or something smaller, for the sake of the company's reputation, it will not be done, but if people of Yu Jun, Wei Jing, or Xu Daoqian's level go to the local mine, and Heishui colludes with people outside to kill people, wouldn't it be a matter of ignorance?

At least Yu Junxin is not Blackwater.

Ellison didn't expect this link, and when he heard Yu Jun's questioning, he knew in his heart: "What about the Blood Cross?" "

Yu Jun flipped through it in his heart, and pulled up the list that Xi Lei had just handed over, and none of the top 5o security companies had this name.

"Haven't you heard of it? Haha, Blood Cross is a company that was established in 2oo1, formed by Colonel Clark, who retired in Iraq, mainly responsible for security work, as well as training the armed forces, etc., and now has more than 1ooo mercenaries, all of whom are tough guys who can fight tough battles, he is a Democrat, don't worry, although Blood Cross is still not well-known now, but in a few years, it will definitely be in the top ten," Ellison said, "You can even ask them to help you train your own armed forces......"

This statement made Yu Jun quite moved, and he felt ridiculous, he needed an armed force?

Is it used to overthrow the governments of small countries? He had heard that some security companies had such capabilities, but he only needed financial means and technological means to overthrow a small country, and the risk of using financial warfare was much smaller, and it would come and go without a trace, and there would be no danger to his life at all.

But the safety of the Liuxi mine still needs to be considered.

"Arrange for me to meet with that Colonel Clark, I'll be waiting for him here."

Forty-five minutes later, a helicopter stopped on the roof of Ellison's villa next door, and three more minutes later, three men in camouflage uniforms came to the gate of the villa.

"Hello Clark, Mr. Yu." Clark walked at the front, his gray head and tall build, which appeared to be about 4o to 5o years old, with a wide build, and standing on his left was a shorter middle-aged man about his age, and on the other side was a younger middle-aged man about 3o years old.

Clarke's spirit is very full, and at first glance he is the kind of person who has been beaten and rolled out of blood, and the so-called divine light is introverted to say this kind of person.

"This is Mr. Reynolds, the head of training of the Red Cross......"

He pointed to the shorter middle-aged man.

"This is Major Doug, the captain of the 1st Einsatzgruppen ......"

He pointed to the middle-aged man who was about 3o years old.

After the introduction, Yu Jun smiled and said, "Out of respect for you, I want to see the strength of this road lieutenant colonel, Xie Qing!" "

Xie Qing, who was standing silently beside Yu Jun, stepped forward.

Most of the personnel of American security companies are special forces or retired Marines, and Xie Qing is also a retired special forces.

Clark understands what Yu Jun means, he hasn't done anything yet, he knows Yu Jun's status, not a blind person can be shocked by the news of this new world-rich man, he wants to do business with Yu Jun, and he should be picky by Yu Jun.

Renault's expression was the same as usual, but the Major Doug seemed to have been greatly insulted, his pupils suddenly shrank, his hands clenched into fists, and he glared at Xie Qing angrily.

"Look whose fists are hard!" Yu Jun said lightly.

More than 2o retired special forces in this villa have taken a look. Due to the exposure of Yu Jun's identity, arranging so many security personnel is not only a consideration above, but also Wei Jing and Lin Zixuan.

These are all special forces who fought in the Vietnam War, the average age is around 3o years old, and their hands are stained with blood, and now when they look at it together, even Clark's face has a look of surprise.

If he knew how many people there were in the Xiling Security Section, he would probably be even more surprised.

There was no combat readiness training, and all the security personnel in the Internet cafes could not be transferred abroad at once, otherwise the Red Cross would not be used. But the number of special forces retired every year is also amazing, after all, there are no regular special forces in the country, only special operations forces that perform special tasks.

Xie Qing was born as a special scout, and most of the people in these villas were born in this kind of army, and some were born in the airborne troops and marines, which are all special forces.

The so-called special forces can fight eight at a time, and that also depends on the person, and it is really necessary to fight to the death, and it is very difficult to fight three at a time.

But the special forces are not only in these aspects, but mainly in special skills.

But as long as it is a special scout, an airborne force, or a marine, it will all be human life.

Although the strength of individual soldiers' combat capability cannot fully represent the strength or weakness of special forces, it is also an important aspect.

Xie Qing and Doug ended the duel with only two face-to-faces, Xie Qing's hand was slapped hard, but Doug was knocked over into the pool by him and swept half of his face.

Clark and Renault exchanged glances, both showing surprised expressions.

"Let me mention a few points, one is that I will provide 1ooo volunteers to be trained by you every year, and the second is that all the mines in Liuxi need your protection, I heard Ellison say that you still have experience in hostage negotiation, I will ask you to rescue the 5 engineers kidnapped by the Egyptians first," Yu Jun glanced at Clark and said, "The contract will be signed for 3 years, and 200 million US dollars will be provided to you every year, and you will need to sign the confidentiality agreement, etc., and I will talk to you when my people come." "

"Yes, yes." Clarke's face couldn't help but show joy.

Even in the first 3 years of Blackwater's establishment, how could it get $200 million every year? What's more, this is still a defense mission, not an anti-terrorism mission, and the work is relatively easy, but you need to be cautious.

The training task was left to Renault in the United States, and the Red Cross had a training camp in California.

This is really a top rich man, 200 million US dollars, 3 years in a row, 600 million US dollars, without even blinking an eye.

This money is too important for the Red Cross, which has only been established for less than one year, and the expenditure of 1ooo people is more than 100 million US dollars per year in labor alone, and how many people are used in the defense mission? More than half of them will be able to take over the cost of the Iraqi Ministry of Defence.

Doug had only just climbed out of the pool now, he had heard what Yu Jun and Clark were saying in the water, and as soon as he climbed onto the shore, he shook hands with Xie Qing, who was pressing his shoulder, and he had a lot of sympathy.

Yu Jun glanced at Doug and said, "My bodyguard is married and has children." "

Doug: "......"
