Chapter 47: Future Plans
October 1, 1961 marked the 12th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China.
This country has nothing to do with Catherine now, but after all, it is the former motherland, so Catherine always has a mixed feeling whenever she hears news about this country.
However, on the same day, Catherine was planning to set up a security company at Jenny's shooting club, and wanted to take advantage of the Vietnam War to try to expand her influence.
"Ada, is there a way for your father to be able to contact some veterans or something?"
She asked suddenly.
"What's wrong, Kate?" Ida looked at Catherine strangely.
"I want to start a security company." Catherine said with a smile, but she thought for a moment, "It's probably better to call it a security contractor or a military contractor." Of course, it can also be called a private military company. ”
The world's largest private military company, MPRI Military Resources, was established in 1987, and the later Blackwater was established in 1997.
You know, in the future, MPRI has operations in more than 40 countries, the company's branches are all over the United States and overseas, the smallest single order will be 4 million US dollars, and the usual single order has tens of millions or even hundreds of millions!
Windfall!
Only the military industry is the real profiteering!
Of course, Catherine has not been able to get involved in this industry for the time being or for a long time, but an extended industry such as a private military company is now not involved in a heavyweight company, and the contradictions, conflicts and interests are not very prominent, so why not take advantage of this time to occupy this market?
"I'll try to ask." This is Ada's answer.
Immediately afterward, Catherine came to Jenny again.
"Jenny, can you tell me your grandfather's phone number or other contact information?"
"Kate, in fact, every time we go out, my grandfather's bodyguards are secretly protecting us, so we don't need to set up a company, right?" Jenny asked curiously.
Catherine thought of the bright future and laughed, "No, Jenny, this is not that simple, we have a mercenary model. ”
Jenny nodded, understanding.
Since it is an organization similar to mercenaries, the supply of weapons is indispensable, and at this time, Catherine thought of Old White.
And...... This is also the only arms dealer she knows, not to mention, he is also Jenny's grandfather.
Although he is only one of the shareholders and may not represent the interests of the company as a whole, Catherine believes that this is a path.
Maybe it's going to happen?
However, Catherine didn't call hot-headed after getting the contact information of Old White.
Although she is a friend of Jenny's, she doesn't necessarily take herself seriously.
What Catherine needed was a preliminary result and a well-thought-out plan.
The vast majority of businessmen are masters who don't see rabbits and don't scatter eagles, and if they want to impress them, they can't do it without any achievements. Besides, even if Old White agrees with Jenny's connection, the company behind him may not agree. After all, he is not the chairman.
The plan continues, the Vietnam War has just begun, and Catherine still has time.
When the shooting was over, Jenny gave each of them a special membership card.
However, it seems that they have all lost the nature of shooting.
After all, if they touch something, they don't feel novel, and their understanding of guns obviously ends there.
Catherine is an exception.
Even if she had bodyguards, she would still come over to practice, and in Catherine's mind, self-protection measures were indispensable. She used to look forward to Bruce Lee's martial arts, but using a pistol for shooting training seemed more convenient and effective.
When she got home, Catherine immediately began to draw up a plan, and then prepared to hand it over to Bruce, asking him for his opinion by the way.
"With all due respect, Kate. You're involved in so many industries, don't you know how much you can chew? Bruce had been busy for a whole month to get the company in order, and he felt like he was already dizzy. In the past few days, he has been rarely relaxed, but he didn't expect Catherine to come over with another material. ,
"Wouldn't it be nice to make money? Are we going to leave the money-making industry and not do it? Now is the opportunity, why don't we make money? ”
"But do you have enough energy? Kate? You've got to study, you've got to train for ballet, and you've got a lot of work to do. ”
Catherine shrugged.
"Maybe, but isn't that what you said, I don't need to do everything myself, I just need to arrange personnel."
In fact, the vast majority of private military enterprises are leather bag companies, and with the exception of sales, finance, and personnel and senior management who are regular employees, most of the contractors who work outside are not permanent employees. For example, many materials introducing MPRI claim that the company's database contains information on tens of thousands of U.S. military veterans, but in fact, these tens of thousands of people are not regular employees of the company, but are only hung on the company's roster.
Therefore, the most important thing for such a company to manage is human resources, and it is not like ordinary companies, which need to have troublesome work such as products and sales.
"Okay, give me the plan, I'll see." Bruce was a little discouraged.
Catherine happily handed over her planner.
"You can't chew more, Kate." Before leaving, Bruce warns Catherine again.
Although Catherine has been involved in many industries, she still knows the difference between priorities and priorities. The industries in which she has advantages are computer and electronic technology, so it is precisely this aspect that she is mainly involved in. And the others, although they make money, but they are really powerless, she will not do it.
For example, Catherine knew that Wal-Mart would be prosperous and that its founder, Sam Walton, would become the richest man in the world, but she couldn't get involved.
First, she didn't know how Walmart operated, and as for Blackwater or something, Catherine had been to Baidu because of her interest, but Walmart ...... Who has nothing to do with Baidu this? Second, the development of Wal-Mart is also a long-term process, and if Catherine has that time, she may not be able to make more money by doing other things. After all, she was unfamiliar with the business.
The "Magic War" series has temporarily developed to a state of "perfection", and Catherine's eyes have just been withdrawn from this aspect.
This aspect is progressing methodically, and she is now focusing on developing computers that can advance in the direction of future technology.
With this correspondence with Seymour Clay, the father of supercomputers has made a lot of valuable suggestions, at least Catherine is not blind when it comes to supercomputers.
Catherine is now thinking about making a CPU.
After all, there was no such thing in those days.
What if you are the inventor of the CPU?
Hey, that's a lot of fun!
