Qin Lang and Rachel spent two hours perfecting his security company plan, confirming various details: the composition of the new company, the scope of business, the number of mercenaries, the management personnel, and the financial ...... And most importantly, instructors and commanders of mercenaries. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

O'Connor was neither a qualified instructor nor a qualified commander. He had no experience of serving in the army. Lining up and shooting the guards was his limit. Therefore, Qin Lang needed some more professional personnel to manage and train his mercenaries.

He needs some retired soldiers, preferably marines.

The veteran who lives in the city of San Diego is unlikely to meet his demands, or even the whole of California, and he can only look to the wider area.

"We've got to advertise jobs in several states at the same time, Rachel."

"Maybe it's advertising all over the United States. Qin, I don't understand why you have to recruit Marines. "Rachel really doesn't get it. Army soldiers and Marines are both U.S. servicemen, is there any difference?

"I'm talking about 'preferable' recruiting Marines, not 'definitely.'" In fact, this is the "Marine Corps plot" he cultivated on the military website, but Qin Lang will never say it. "I just think 'Marines' sounds cool."

"I don't think 'marines' have anything to do with 'cool', although it's true that the sea breeze is cooler, but that's two different things, Qin."

Of course, Rachel never knew what "cool" was, and Qin Lang, who realized that he had said too much, didn't have the heart to explain, so he forcibly skipped the topic. "In short, if we really have to advertise jobs across the United States, I can drop the requirement to be a Marine."

"Let's try it in a few neighboring states first." Rachel sighed. "By the way, what are you going to name your new company?"

In the blink of an eye, Qin Lang had already thought of a name, and even the company's logo was confirmed. “Umbrella。” He said, then repeated affirmatively, "Umbrella." ”

Beginning the next day, newspapers in California, Oregon, Nevada, Arizona, and New Mexico ran advertisements for Umbrella Security Services — but they turned Army active-duty and veterans alike into "prioritizing Marines," who had never seen such overtly discriminatory job ads.

The U.S. Army's relationship with Umbrella Security Services is not destined to be harmonious.

And at this time, it was not even officially established.

Qin Lang and Rachel had some trouble preparing for Umbrella. The police officers in San Diego were disgusted by the presence of such a company that competed with them. Although most of the factories and mines have their own private forces, that is the business of the bosses themselves, and those armed forces are small in size, and they still rely on the police for help in case of trouble.

But with a professional security company, the situation is completely different. 、

It is not possible for the police to be stationed in a factory or mine for a long time, but the security guards of a commercial company can. If bosses find a danger that their own private forces can't deal with, they can temporarily hire a group of security guards to be stationed in their factories or mines. Bosses obviously suffer much less financial loss by doing so than by calling the police to solve the problem after the incident has happened.

If that were the case, the San Diego police would have lost an opportunity to make a fortune, and they would have done everything in their power to prevent the creation of Umbrella – and it must be said that the way of thinking of the police in the late nineteenth century was quite different from that of the later ones.

However, the mayor of San Diego and most members of the legislature were intrigued by Rachel's plan — as a Chinese, it was not convenient for Qin Lang to come forward directly.

Rachel's plan is very clear about the scope of the company's business, one of which is to assist factory and mine owners in "handling" workers' protests against shutdowns. This is tempting, as in the late nineteenth century there were frequent mass shutdown protests in the United States, and last year's Pittsburgh steelworkers' shutdown protests were not the largest, and the 1877 railroad workers' mass shutdown protests swept through 17 states, which in the eyes of the government and parliament were nothing short of a disaster.

So, of course, they would like to see a professional force that can be used to deal with similar matters - although there is a national militia, it can only be mobilized by order of the governor, and the national militia is not necessarily reliable, and in 1877 they refused to carry out the order, and finally the federal government brought the army into control.

The mayor of San Diego and members of the legislature do not believe that the federal government will send the army to deal with it if a mass shutdown protest breaks out in San Diego. Maybe not even the National Militia will show up. So since Rachel. Miss McBride's security company plan, why not?

The security guards of the security company are much more reliable than the weekend fighters of the National Guard, because dealing with social crises is their means of livelihood, not obligation.

Moreover, the use of commercial security in the fight against the shutdown of production can also reduce public criticism of the government - especially after a serious bloody conflict, and all the blame can be borne by the security company. It's a great thing to kill two birds with one stone.

It could even kill three birds with one stone...... No, it kills four birds with one stone: Umbrella can hire the unemployed cowboys roaming San Diego to serve as its security guards, which can both reduce unemployment and stabilize social order.

So, why not?

As for the outcry from the police station...... Could it be that San Diego is a police-run city?

After ten wasted days, with special approval from the City Council, Umbrella was finally founded.

It was only at this time that Qin Lang and Rachel told O'Connor about their plans.

"Security company? Let me be the boss? O'Connor was incredible. Five minutes ago, he was a major shareholder and head of security at Viper Weapons, but now he has become the general manager of Umbrella Security Services, a wholly owned subsidiary of the company...... Convoluted. "I'm curious, when did you set up such a company?"

"While you're concentrating on training those guards."

"Hmm...... So what do you mean by that? O'Connor looked at them quizzically, "I don't see any benefit in doing this. ”

"The upside is that we can greatly increase the number of guards, and instead of paying, we can use them to make money." Rachel said triumphantly. She likes the idea of killing multiple birds with one stone. It has to be said that Qin Lang is a genius in business - although he always modestly emphasizes that he has no talent for business.

And there is also a talent for persuading others to do what he wants. "Sean, don't you want to fulfill your childhood dream?" "Think about it," he said, seductively, "now that you have established Umbrella, you have the opportunity to command hundreds, if not thousands, of armed men trained to military standards—"

"But I have neither the ability to train them nor the ability to command them." O'Connor shook his head. While he does want to play the role of an officer, he is quite aware of his abilities; He would never do more than he could do.

"Don't worry, Sean." Now that Qin Lang and Rachel have taken care of everything, his worries are no longer worries, "We have recruited some ex-marines, who will be responsible for training and specific command. Qin Lang stretched out his hand and patted O'Connor's shoulder, "What you have to do is to command those marines." ”

"Don't worry about your incompetence, Sean." Rachel also said, "You see, if I can manage a company, why can't you?" ”

Under the enthusiastic and earnest gaze of the two of them, O'Connor hesitated for a moment, then nodded slowly. "Okay, Qin, Rachel, I can give it a try."
