Chapter 339 Expansion of Defense Companies
On May 26, 2009, Yang Hao quietly returned to the Kenyan manor, covered his head and slept for 12 hours.
When I woke up, it was ten o'clock the next morning, and the bright sunlight was pouring into the bedroom through the thick curtains. Yang Hao came to the balcony wearing only a pair of pants, stretched his waist fiercely, his eyes slowly swept over the green mountains and fields, and enjoyed a rare green massage.
The land of Africa, which is very little polluted, has fresh air and abundant negative oxygen ions. In particular, the sudden change from the cold winter in North China to the summer in Africa is indescribable.
Yang Hao took a few big breaths, expelled all the exhaust gas that had been hoarded all night out of his lungs, and did a few more chest expansion and rotation exercises, he felt that the joints and muscles of his body were indescribably comfortable, and he couldn't help moaning: "This is life!" The life of a revolutionary is really not human. ”
It can be said that since opening the space-time channel, he has basically not taken a day off seriously. Constantly shuttling back and forth between two time and space, alternating under the temperature difference between winter and summer, the whole person is about to become a working machine, and the private living space is squeezed almost nothing.
If he were a true revolutionary, he might have enjoyed the sense of accomplishment of advancing the cause of both planes. It's a pity that Yang Hao is just a layman who catches ducks on the shelves, and in his bones he has not developed the mentality of being a super strongman who needs to dedicate his life to the revolutionary cause, and everything else is not considered. Under the accumulation of such countless jobs, the pressure on the mind and mind can be imagined.
does not collapse, but also because when he is still young and enterprising, there is no freshness in the past. But that feeling of exhaustion that doesn't match the character. It had begun to slowly devour his spirit.
The initial passion is almost exhausted. The career of the second plane has finally reached a relatively stable level. Yang Hao felt that he couldn't go on like this, and he should adjust his rhythm appropriately and enjoy some private life.
So this time, he planned to stay in this world for a few more days, and he had the right to magnify his vacation.
In May and June, the wheat harvest has just been completed, the rows of coffee trees are at the end of the harvest period, and the perennial trees are so green that people are reluctant to take their eyes off.
After the main harvest is done. The temporarily hired Chinese workers have all left, and the rest of them do daily maintenance and deal with the local government's old blacks, who are simply too lazy to see anyone. Yang Hao looked at the balcony for a long time, but he didn't find a serious and responsible farmer.
He can't be angry about this, everyone knows the virtues of the old black in Africa. Expecting them to work hard is not ordinarily difficult. On the contrary, they learned to run trade unions with the Europeans, and no matter what type of work, they first figured out their rights and treatments, and did not let go. If you have that kind of kung fu to talk to them, you might as well do more serious things yourself.
"It's okay if there's no one. Provincial verbose. ”
Yang Hao was about to enjoy a rare peace, and there was no miscellaneous worries at all. Why not?
He simply moved a rocking chair over, made a bunch of food and drink from the refrigerator and wine cabinet, and sunbathed on the balcony while filling his stomach slowly.
However, it seemed that he was destined to live in peace, and within half an hour, he heard a rumbling sound in the sky, and a "Black Hawk" helicopter flew from a distance and slowly landed on the tarmac of the manor.
Subsequently, the warmonger James Murphy, who had not been seen for many days. Braun swayed over with a big belly.
"You don't want me to live in peace! What the fuck! ”
Yang Hao raised his head and drank the small bottle of beer, sighed helplessly, threw away the bottle and stood up, revealing the sturdy body honed by his military career for more than a year in everyone's field of vision.
The tall and ruthless female secretary Shi Leoni still followed behind him in an OL suit, and saw Yang Hao's sturdy bronze upper body from a distance, and her eyes suddenly flashed with a sharp light.
The two armed guards apparently noticed the situation as well, and a look of surprise flashed across their faces. However, they were all well-trained, and they only raised their hands from a distance downstairs to salute, and then introduced their short guns into the shadows to guard the surroundings.
The treacherous and cunning James couldn't see the slightest surprise, and he pedaled upstairs, and his weight of more than two hundred pounds created a series of miniature earthquakes, and when he came to it, he gave Yang Hao a strong bear hug, and shouted exaggeratedly: "Dear boss, do you know how much I miss you?" ”
His strength was so great that anyone with a slightly worse physique could have his waist bent.
Yang Hao just stretched his arms out, and the skills practiced by Huo Yuanjia and other national art masters were naturally revealed, and he easily unloaded his strength, pushed it two feet away, and said with a smile: "Come less, you will only miss my gold!" ”
James finally showed surprise this time, took a step back, looked Yang Hao's body up and down carefully with round eyes, and found that it was not much worse than the most elite mercenaries, and it seemed that every inch of muscle contained explosive power.
Yang Hao saw his reaction, and proudly flexed his biceps, letting the sunlight shine on the surface of the slightly sweaty skin, reflecting a dazzling brilliance.
James poked it with his index finger and found that it was as elastic as if it was poking on rubber, and it was unusually strong, and he couldn't help but exclaim: "It's incredible! I always thought that a rich boy like you would never suffer for the sake of body shaping. ”
Leoni, who was standing behind him, suddenly spoke, and said hoarsely: "This is not dead meat shaped with drugs and fitness equipment, but has been trained for a long time through particularly professional combat training. Mr. Yang, you've been in many battles lately, haven't you? ”
Yang Hao was not surprised by the sharp gaze of this super female man, and nodded calmly.
James's eyes flashed with brilliance, and he laughed, "Oh! Oh! Amazing boss! I think there's got to be a really good story. But I guess you're not going to say it, are you? ”
Yang Hao was very satisfied with the fat man's knowledge, and patted him lightly on the shoulder: "It's not as wonderful as your life here." ”
James shrugged his shoulders and sighed, "That's a shame." ”
He didn't really want to know the secret, but he was curious. When they met last year, Yang Hao's just ordinary and sturdy physique was very obvious. Meet later. People basically don't see each other naked. This time it took a little longer. Suddenly, I saw a beautiful and majestic physique like a statue of David. Not by them not doubting.
Especially Leoni's judgment, Yang Hao's military aura that can't be concealed is becoming more and more obvious, which is a unique temperament that can only be experienced after a long time on the battlefield. The problem is that in today's world, there are only a few hot spots of war and conflict, but none of them need a rich man with a huge fortune to go into battle in person.
Yang Hao smiled, went back to the house and put on his pajamas, and by the way, he took a pack of beer and a chair and beckoned the two to sit down.
Leoni stood behind James like a wall on his high heels. Stick to the true character of his personal secretary.
Yang Hao was not reluctant, unscrewed a bottle of cold beer and handed it to Mr. Warmonger, and asked, "How did you come back so coincidentally?" Don't you have any business to do lately? ”
James poured half a bottle into it, wiped the corners of his mouth with the back of his hand casually, sighed with satisfaction, shook his head and said: "Of course not, you should know that I have always been very professional." This time, I had something to discuss with you, so I was going to call again in two days. ”
"What's the matter? Could it be that the Kenyan government has a new idea for us? ”
Yang Hao frowned, feeling a trace of impatience. Not for anything else. It's really too much of a place.
As a Commonwealth country, Ken has the chaotic character of a country in Africa or South America. The government is corrupt from top to bottom. The inefficiency is outrageous. At the mercy of the world's major powers, civil strife is frequent, the political situation is in turmoil, and the civil order is chaotic. In particular, as the general election turmoil at the end of '07 spread across the country, the riots that occurred in December and early the following year directly led to the homelessness of 300,000 people, and thus brought a new round of national conflict.
Despite the mediation of the United Nations Security Council, the government that has temporarily stabilized is still full of contradictions. Embodied in the external political strategy, it will inevitably appear chaotic and contradictory, often changing orders and regulations, leading to a sharp decline in investment and economic recession.
In the past year and a half, the investment of Yanhua Group in Ken, which is backed by Yang's Capital, has become the only bright spot. The ruling opposition parties are vying for each other, trying to use it as their political achievement to increase political capital. These days, the construction of the entire second-hand industrial base is going smoothly.
Yang Hao took the opportunity to legalize the qualifications of the defense company, and wantonly planted armed personnel in the name of the group's security department, and opened up a number of training camps and military bases along the way.
James. Braun, a fat man who dreamed of becoming a world-class contractor, waved Yang Hao's banknotes and expanded the mercenary force to more than 100 people in one go, and actively participated in the armed conflict in Somalia many times with Ken as a logistics base, training troops and accumulating experience while making money.
However, as the political situation became more stable, the short-sightedness of the blacks was exposed, and the government and local forces reverted to their old ways, and began to compare their hands on what seemed to be a huge and boundless heavy industrial project.
Last time, a soda ash mine was protested by its environmental group and forced to shut down, could it be that this time, they are going to do something new?
James guessed what Yang Hao meant, and waved his hand comfortably: "No, no, we have always had a close relationship with the Kenyan government." For the sake of the dollar and gold, they will turn a blind eye to our deposits. During this time, our short-term security operations have been doing so well that almost no one has been idle. ”
Leoni handed over a report from behind, and Yang Hao took a cursory look at it to make sure that guy wasn't talking nonsense.
Over the past year or so, with the increase of Chinese investment and exports to Kenya, more and more Chinese have come here. Especially after Yanhua Group opened the China-Africa international tourism route, the Chinese tyrants who got rich first flocked to the natural environment of the African savannah. Escorted by professional mercenaries and professional bodyguards, they went into the deep mountains, dense forests and grasslands to see the scenery, hunted with their own hands, and even smuggled to Kenya to participate in real battles to fight the ...... of the black uncle.
and other kinds of irritating activities that are not very legal, which greatly satisfy these local tyrants who can only play with rifled and bald guns in China, let alone hunt unscrupulously. Just hosting these special tours is enough to keep the people at the defense company busy.
However, compared to the investment in them, the money earned from this work is still not enough. Moreover, James aspires to be an international war contractor, how can he be satisfied with being a bodyguard? He divided the company into three parts, one of which was responsible for this type of business and one part was responsible for the safety and security of the Group's investment projects in Kenya. Some form professional mercenaries. Continue to invest in the African civil war to make extra money.
Until now. Yang Hao invested almost 100 million US dollars before and after, and the profit seemed to be far away.
Yang Hao returned the report to Leoni and asked puzzledly: "It seems that the situation is good, do you have other questions?" ”
James leaned forward, his eyes lit up, and said eagerly, "Dear boss, I think it's time to expand our business area!" It's just that it's too slow to make money in Africa, and our team has already completed synthetic training. We should develop the market to West Asia! ”
Yang Hao was shocked in his heart: "You want to go to Iraq and grab business with the 'Blackwater Company'?!" ”
James' big furry hand slapped the table: "Yes! That's it! ”
Yang Hao couldn't help but gasp, but he was frightened by the ambition of this dead fat man! It has only been more than a year since the establishment of the defense company, and he dares to go to grab deals with those old big-name brands, which is not a small courage!
The mercenary or defense market in West Asia is recognized as a profiteering region in the world. The United States alone spends hundreds of billions of dollars there, a considerable part of which is earned by defense companies. The "Blackwater Company," a predator with rapid development, has close ties with the US Department of Defense and the military, with more than 2,000 field personnel alone and operating all over the world. With an annual income of more than one billion, this is still on the surface.
There is a background and support for people to be able to do so big. Blackwater's mercenaries even have diplomatic immunity, and the entire company has twenty planes on standby at any time, and can even be supported by U.S. fighters if necessary.
The water in this fat market is bottomless, and I rushed into it, and I don't know how to die.
Yang Hao said: "You should know how big the risk is, I don't have that much money for you to test the water!" ”
James reached out and put his arm around his shoulder, and said with a smile on his face: "Dear boss, don't worry, I have planned everything." You see, after all, I've been in the defense business for two generations, and I have pretty good relationships in the United States, and I've been gradually recovering for more than a year. The young men of our army have rich combat experience, and all the equipment is in place, ready to be put into the West Asian market at any time. In addition, most of the weapons we use come from China, and if they can be used on the battlefield, it would probably be a very good advertising campaign. In the end, the harvest will be satisfying. ”
Yang Hao was really a little moved.
It is said that since the establishment of the defense company, in order to prevent this fat man from spending money on weapons and equipment, almost all equipment and materials have been purchased from China. Their light and heavy weapons, guns and ammunition, body armor, steel helmets, etc., are almost all products exported by Poly, and the prices are cheap and sufficient. All passenger cars are Dongfeng Mengshi, wheeled infantry combat vehicles are domestic ZSL92 type, and if necessary, you can even get a magic 59 type tank, and the end is fully live.
In terms of helicopters, there is also a Chinese-made Z-9 option. The performance of this completely eaten domestic version is also good, and a brand-new one is only more than nine million dollars, and the local tyrants can afford it.
The advantage of this complete set of completely domestic production is that this nominal American mercenary has spent less than half the money to obtain good weapons and equipment, and has also won the favor of Chinese arms brokers. Incidentally, defense companies have received a lot of additional support for their operations in Africa.
Yang Hao didn't expect these mercenaries to really make a lot of money, mainly to protect their overseas territory and personal safety. But now it seems that it can be played a little more daringly?
He is not too worried about the foreign devils going out and losing money, and now the Yang Group can get a wealth of hundreds of millions of taels of silver just by looting from the second plane, which is equivalent to more than a billion dollars in the world's dollars, buddy tyrant, you can afford it!
Yang Hao nodded: "I will seriously consider your request." ”
James was overjoyed, jumped up with agility that was absolutely incommensurate with his size, hugged Yang Hao and kissed him fiercely, and laughed: "I know!" Dear boss, you will be proud of your decision today! ”
Yang Hao pushed him away and scolded: "Damn guy, you made me salivate!" Also, I haven't approved it yet! ”
James danced and exclaimed, "That's just a matter of time, isn't it?" What a wonderful time! By the way, what did I plan to do? Oh, we have to rent a couple of C-130 Hercules transport planes, and we have to rent a freighter! That's not ...... enough. ”
He leaned over Yang Hao's face again and said expectantly, "Dear boss, why don't you buy a battleship?" Even second-hand destroyers will do, so we can come and go to any market without hindrance! ”
Yang Hao was annoyed by his whimsy, and said with a dark face: "As long as you can get a complete set of equipment and missile torpedo systems, I don't mind building you a cruiser!" ”
James didn't seem to hear that he was sarcastic, and exaggeratedly raised his hands and shouted, "Then it's decided!" Open the wine! We have to have a drink and celebrate! ”
didn't look at Yang Hao's helpless roll of his eyes, and ran downstairs to the wine cellar to find the treasured red wine.
Leoni's eyes flashed, and he asked coldly, "Boss, can you really provide a battleship?" ”
Yang Hao waved his hand indiscriminately: "As long as you can get weapons and equipment, and find a port to anchor, even if you contact a second-hand submarine, I will buy it for you!" ”
Leoni nodded solemnly and said no more.
Yang Hao didn't take it seriously, this was just messing around. No matter how good the defense company is, there are some things they can't afford to play. Warships and fighter planes, without the support of the big powers, private armed forces can't play at all, and if you get them out, they will become the target of public criticism, and if you don't pay attention to the big hooligans, you will get rid of them, and you won't have a place to cry.
But he didn't expect that these crazy guys were really going to make big guys. Just one day later, the long-lost arms dealer Ivan. Valkajevich appeared in front of him again with a smile on his face.
The Ukrainians, who are still coming and going mysteriously, have a burst of professionalism, and without even saying a few kind words, they said calmly: "I heard that you built a heavy cruiser? I might be able to provide you with some nice equipment and weapons to turn it into a veritable battleship. (To be continued......)
