Chapter 0107 Busy Material Reception, Understand the Business Platform!
At 1 p.m. on Saturday, April 3, 1976, Xiaoda, and Dr. Wei were playing cards in the living room of our home.
While playing cards, we received a call from the local CIA workstation.
The phone said that we should bring a car, documents, etc. to them to move the goods, and the CIA headquarters to our service station has just delivered the materials to them.
So, I asked Dr. Wei to stay at home, and Xiaoda and I drove out in our large pickup truck with CIA ID and personal weapons.
At around 2 p.m., we arrived at the local CIA workstation office.
This place is still the old place of the CIA workstation when Jefferson was at the head, but after Jefferson and the others left, all the personnel in it changed.
Now, the stationmaster of this workstation is Simon, a major, a white man in his forties.
After we met with Simon, he was very warm and proactive to greet us, and we saluted and greeted each other!
Simon smiled and said, "Colonel Jack! I didn't expect you to be so young! Please stop by my office for a cup of coffee! ”
I said, "Stationmaster Simon! Thank you very much! Let's move the goods first! I'll have coffee with you another day! ”
Simon laughed and said, "Okay! Come with me to the warehouse to pick up the goods! You'd better leave your office address, and we can deliver it to your door in the future! We know that you don't have manpower now, but we don't always ask the stationmaster and deputy stationmaster to come to us to pick up the goods in person, right? ”
Everyone laughed!
According to the situation reported by Dr. Wei, Xiaoda and I knew that Stationmaster Simon had led a team to search the Demon Star Villa and interrogated Dr. Wei and others, so Stationmaster Simon must be very familiar with our situation!
Xiao Da and I followed the guidance of the guards, and we drove the vehicle to the loading and unloading platform in the warehouse of the CIA workstation.
After their warehouse manager checked our work ID and company documents, they asked us to sign and sign the "Bill of Lading" documents.
After that, they moved our goods to the pickup truck!
Soon, they helped us load a truckload full of goods!
After loading the goods, we said goodbye to Simon and them, and then, driving out of there, back to the Magic Star Villa.
......
At around 4 o'clock in the afternoon, after returning home, me, Xiaoda and Dr. Wei moved the goods to the hall on the first floor of the Moxing Office Building.
We check the items against the list of goods, which includes office equipment and supplies, as well as weapons and equipment.
Office supplies include:
1. Multimedia satellite communication host and 1 set of high-definition LCD screen, which is indicated on the packaging box for use in the station office.
2. Two boxes of "work manual", work forms and financial ledgers.
3. 1 lockbox, which indicates that you should contact the headquarters to obtain the password for unpacking.
4. 1 electronic safe.
5. 4 sets of desktop personal computers and monitors.
6. 1 set of network server, router, network connection device, cable and installation tool.
7. Multi-functional machine for printing, copying and faxing with network communication function.
Armament includes:
1. 2 sets of M60 general-purpose machine guns.
2. 12 sets of M16A2 automatic rifles.
3. 12 M1911 pistols.
4. 10 boxes of 250 ordinary mines.
5. 100,000 rounds of machine gun bullets; 120,000 rounds of rifle ammunition; 60,000 rounds of pistol ammunition.
6. 3 boxes of commonly used agent tools.
We moved weapons and equipment to the basement warehouse and locked them, and moved office equipment and supplies to the conference room on the second floor for storage.
After finishing the work, the three of us drank coffee, rested and chatted in the general manager's office.
Xiaoda said: "Ah Cai! Judging from the materials received, Jefferson asked us to immediately establish the office environment and conditions of the CIA service station! ”
I said, "Yes! Today, we must install the satellite communication system and the computer network office system! Then, it's time to get to work! As soon as we were able to work, we immediately went through the onboarding procedures for Dr. Wei, and then recruited an office cleaning staff! Otherwise, we don't have enough manpower! ”
Xiaoda smiled and said, "Okay! This office building and Building 3 also need to sign a "lease contract" with the CIA headquarters! We can't let the CIA use our property for nothing, can we?! ”
I said, "Okay! Let's do the same! Now, let's assign the office and then let's start installing the equipment! ”
It turns out that the office layout here is arranged according to the needs of Hualong Company, and the layout plan is as follows:
On the first floor, there is a meeting room, a VIP customer negotiation room, a duty manager's office, a salesman's office, etc.
The second floor is the logistics department, the import department office, the export department office, the administrative office and the conference room.
On the third floor, there are financial rooms, communication rooms, archives, general manager's office, and deputy general manager.
The fourth floor is all deluxe rooms and is used for temporary accommodation for important customers.
Xiaoda said, "Okay! According to the original arrangement, our multimedia satellite communication system was installed in the original conference room, and the network server and router, as well as the multi-function printer, copy and fax machine with network communication function were installed in the administrative office! In this way, the wiring will be a little simpler, desktop computers and monitors, the general manager and the deputy general manager first install one set each, and the network cabling will be pulled from the second floor to the third floor! ”
So, the three of us began to follow Xiaoda's installation plan, and took out a full set of tools to carry out installation and commissioning.
The installation and commissioning of these equipment, Xiaoda and I have been familiar with in the CIA special agent school, and these equipment and devices are military supplies, so the installation and commissioning are very convenient.
......
Before 7 o'clock in the evening, Xiaoda and I had all the multimedia satellite communication hosts and high-definition LCD screens in the office, the network servers and routers in the administrative office, the printing, copying and fax multi-function machines with network communication functions, and the desktops, monitors and network connections in the general manager's office and the deputy general manager's office.
After we finished our work, Dr. Wei brought dinner to the conference room, where the three of us ate and chatted.
Dr. Wei smiled and said, "Ah Cai! You've learned a lot in the U.S.! These devices are all high-tech products, I have seen them for the first time, and you have already installed, debugged and used them! ”
I said, "Yes! Their methods are indeed progressing and updating very quickly! The means determine the efficiency of work and the way of working! In the future, you must also familiarize yourself with and master these equipment and knowledge as soon as possible, otherwise, you will not be able to work for them! ”
Xiaoda said: "Ah Cai! After we finished eating, we cleaned up the conference room, and then we contacted Jefferson to report to the work, and let Dr. Wei meet with Jefferson casually to pave the way for tomorrow's entry procedures! ”
......
At 8 p.m., we finished our meal and sorted out the conference room items and hygiene.
Then, Xiaoda and I changed into neat uniforms, and Dr. Wei changed into a crisp new suit and leather shoes!
Once everyone's images were put in order, we contacted General Jefferson through the satellite video phone system in the conference room.
Soon we got in touch with General Jefferson!
When General Jefferson appeared on the screen in his general's uniform, all three of us saluted and said hello!
Jefferson smiled and said, "Oh! The children! You guys are so capable! So much to install and debug the equipment in the office! Jack! Who's that young man next to you? ”
Dr. Wei saluted Jefferson and said in standard and loud English: "Report to Your Excellency, General!" My name is Lauren. Wei is Colonel Jack's comrade-in-arms of the South Vietnamese Army during the Vietnam War! Now classmates from Jack and Tom Harbor City University! Your Excellency, General! I applied to join the CIA! I'm willing to fight for the CIA and the free world! ”
Jefferson smiled and said, "Oh! Lauren! You're amazing! Jack! Hurry up and read the CIA service station management workflow! Then, go through the entry procedures for Mr. Lauren, he is actually your comrade-in-arms, you apply for the rank of second lieutenant for Lauren, and arrange for Lauren to be the head of the service station department! In this way, you have your first staff member! ”
I said, "Okay! We get acquainted with the documents right away! Onboard Lauren! Your Excellency, I would like to ask Locke and Vincent, who are still working in London, to be transferred to our service station at once to assist me in the preparation of the service station! ”
Jefferson said, "Oh! We have to solve this problem! However, they are performing very important tasks in Europe! When Locke and Vincent finish this mission, I'll send them to work at your service station! ”
I said, "Thank you very much for your support and help in our work!" Your Excellency, what are our tasks in the near future? ”
Jefferson said, "Jack! You should immediately read the work manual and management system, and get in touch with the centralized management department of the CIA headquarters as soon as possible in terms of financial, personnel and material management! Then, you have to apply for management fees and funds, handle the preparation of property leasing, property decoration, material application and staffing, in short, you try your best to set up the service station as soon as possible! ”
I said, "Your Excellency! I see! We will start the preparation for the construction of the service station in an all-round way from tomorrow! ”
After we finished the call with Jefferson, we shut down the system and packed up our belongings in the office.
After turning off the lights and doors of the entire office building, we returned home.
When we got home, the three of us were drinking coffee and chatting in the living room.
Dr. Wei smiled and said, "Xiaoda! Thank you for your guidance! Otherwise, today's interview will definitely not go so smoothly! ”
Xiaoda smiled and said, "Brother Doctor! Don't be so excited! A lot of people don't want to join the CIA! Agents are deadly after all! Therefore, we can't be overjoyed! Otherwise, other CIAs will think we have other purposes! Do you understand? ”
Dr. Wei smiled and said, "Understood! I'm glad for tonight! Starting tomorrow, I'm going to be just like you, with a serious and cold face! Whoever dares to oppose us, we will kill them! ”
Everyone laughed!
I said, "Doctor Wei! Tomorrow, you ask Mama Mo to introduce us to another nanny, who will be responsible for the cleaning of the office building, and help us deliver meals and make coffee! In the future, the three of us will take turns to be on duty in the office building! Otherwise, it's really troublesome to lose something in the office building! ”
......
At 8 a.m. on April 4, after breakfast, I asked Dr. Wei and Mama Mo to discuss hiring another nanny.
Xiaoda and I went to work in the office building.
When we arrived at the office building, Xiaoda and I were in the general manager's office and opened the lockbox containing the confidential documents sent to our service station by the CIA headquarters.
After I unlocked it through my lockbox's fingerprint, we saw all the files inside.
First, the external business license of the CIA service station in the port city, our external name is "US (Ho
gKo
g) Cultu
e a
d Eco
omy Diplomacy Associatio
The Chinese translation is "Hong Kong City Meibang Cultural and Economic Exchange Association".
However, we still have to go to the U.S. consulate and the relevant departments of the Hong Kong government to register and register this association, and we will hang the association's signboard and business license and other business qualification documents in the office location!
Second, the bank account, password, and passbook of the exchange association, that is, the service station, etc., we inquired by phone and found that 8 million US dollars in cash funds had been pre-deposited in this account.
Third, the content of the "CIA Service Station Work Manual" includes, internal centralized and contact information, institutional establishment, salary and allowance standards, fund application process, material application process, work plan and situation reporting and approval process, acceptance of tasks and action workflow, personnel entry review and declaration process, personnel assessment and reward process, etc., in short, a large book involves all aspects of station management!
According to the Work Manual, our central management department is Cultu, a new department under the headquarters of the "Department of Cultural and Economic Infiltration".
e a
d Eco
omy Pe

t Abbreviated as the direct management of CEPD, this department is headed by Admiral Jefferson.
The manual also states that the satellite network contact accounts and passwords of the CEPD department in the financial, personnel, material, operational and monitoring functional management departments, etc., with these accounts and passwords, we can handle the application of expenses and materials, as well as various approvals, personnel recruitment, employment and audit and other office business!
According to the manual, the departments and staffing of our service stations are as follows:
Management:
There is 1 station manager, who is responsible for the overall management, and I have been appointed as the colonel of the CIA service station in Port City.
There are 2 deputy stationmasters, and a deputy stationmaster assists the stationmaster in overall management, and Xiaoda has been appointed as the deputy stationmaster; Another deputy stationmaster is responsible for the day-to-day internal management of the whole station, and this deputy stationmaster does not need to be in the field.

Responsible for the management of staff canteens, dormitories and daily life of the whole station. 1 Minister; 1 Deputy Minister. There are 3 section officers.
This is a huge organization, and the station management needs 56 people. If you add the expatriates, it should be more than a hundred.
The configuration of office facilities and equipment is as follows:
1. The office space is rented from 300 to 400 square meters. Annual rents are kept below $1.5 million.
2. Staff dormitories and canteens are rented for 300 to 400 square meters. Annual rents are kept below $1.5 million.
3. Office equipment, supplies, vehicles, etc. should be fully equipped by the headquarters materials department three days before the official opening of the service station.
I think that the office building and the vacant building on the other floor of our Magic Star Villa can be rented out to the service station.
Here's what it looks like in terms of salaries and expenses:
Stationmaster salary: $15,000/month, 1.
Deputy stationmaster salary: $12,000/month, 2.
Assistant webmaster: $8,000/month, 1 person.
Minister's salary: $7,500/month, 7.
Salary of deputy ministers: 6,000 US dollars/month, 7 people.

Other expenses, such as clothing and accommodation for the staff in the station, are arranged free of charge by the station. Travel expenses are reimbursed.
The costs, salaries and allowances of the teams and personnel are based on the level of the Operational Team and the level approved by Headquarters.
I think that if the service station is fully connected to the whole line of operation, it will not be able to do it without more than 20 million US dollars a year, and if it is combined with the investment in weapons and equipment and daily wear and tear, it will not be able to play without hundreds of millions of dollars, I feel that they are really rich!
Really, these things blind us all at once!
