Chapter 997: Safety is the most important thing
It's not that Ogul is not a good person, it's that he is not a good person at all.
In his own words, "Good people die quickly if they choose to be mercenaries." ”
.....
This good person is not an objectively good person, but a subjective good person, to put it bluntly, if you think you are a good person, then you are not far from death.
In this way, Xia Feng may have the potential to be a mercenary, because he has never considered himself a good person, in his own words.
"I'm not a good person, but I'm not a bad person either, I'm just a selfish ordinary person."
He is indeed very selfish, and there is nothing wrong with being selfish, selfish, not ashamed, ashamed of not daring to admit selfishness.
However, his "selfishness" does not mean that he cares about himself, but about all the people he considers important, and the life and death of outsiders have nothing to do with him compared to these people.
Unless, give him a reason to go above the so-called "goodness" and make him pay enough for it.
For example, the dispute in the eastern kingdom that everyone is in danger of now, in his eyes, this is something he doesn't care about.
He will not find a way to stop this war, nor will he save the civilian people who are about to be harmed by the war.
Just like Sakuratake Toyoro said, everyone has a fate, and everything is providential.
.....
The arrival of Ogur made the freshness pass a little, and the somewhat boring life was enriched again.
In particular, Ogur brought Franka and Razer with him, which was a surprise for Turtle and Ifrit.
Children are like that, the hardest people to see are always the most fragrant, and the two girls have been pulling Franka and Razer to visit the entire south coast from the village to Sandworm Island.
Evening.
Summer Breeze has a BBQ party in the yard, and Ogul is very fond of eating things baked by Ivlit, and this little request must be met.
The oven is on fire, and the aroma wafts into the night sky.
"Whoa, whoa, whoa!"
The sake of the Eastern Country was poured full, Xia Feng picked up the cup, touched it with Ogul very seriously, and said sincerely.
"Old Gu, this belated thank you only had the opportunity to tell you in person today, thank you for our help in the Victoria incident."
.....
At the end of the Battle of Lentinium, he lost consciousness in front of the walls that had been cut by the Red Devil's sword.
Until the awakening, it was already two months after the Dark Ages had passed.
When he woke up, he didn't see his allies who had helped, and because he still had a murderous obsession with Frey, he hastily disbanded Black Feather and left Victoria alone.
Now that I think about it, not only Blacksteel International, but he has many people to thank.
For example, Inan Snow, Silver Ash, the Emperor, and Scati, who is now gone.
.....
Hearing the sincerity of Xia Feng's words, Ogul didn't say anything, and after the two clinked glasses, they drank all the wine in the glass.
The glass was filled again, and Ogur said calmly.
"Xia Feng, the person who can get my private business card in this world can be counted with one hand, I have always been very accurate in seeing people, not only did you not disappoint me, but also always brought me unexpected surprises."
The barbecue in the yard was heated and smelly.
Xia Feng picked up his wine glass again.
"Lao Gu, your business card is really useful, to be honest, even if you don't do anything, just holding it in your hand will make me feel very confident in my heart, haha."
As soon as Ogur drank the wine, he became very bold.
"Of course, come, toast to our brothers' reunion!"
"Cheers!"
Blacksteel International is a security company, and of course it is to make money, so theoretically speaking, Ogul should belong to businessmen.
However, this guy from a military background is different from ordinary businessmen, in addition to focusing on profits, he also has the blood of a soldier and a kind of righteousness among men.
If you look at the consequentialism, Xia Feng sometimes can't tell whether Ogul is really righteous or has seen the ending that he can't see.
Just like Black Steel did not refuse his "request for support" once, even if the enemy was Rhine Life, even if it was the former Victorian Empire, Ogul never hesitated.
As a "businessman", this is obviously very irrational.
But looking at the overall situation, outsiders will feel that they only saw the second layer at that time, they thought that the first layer of Ogul, in fact, they were on the fifth layer.
.....
Ogul seems to be here for tourism this time, but in fact, there are other tasks besides tourism, which is why Xia Feng strongly invited him to come.
The next day.
Xia Feng personally took Ogul from Nanye Village to Sandworm Bay and then to Sandworm Island by boat, and visited his sandworm breeding base inside and out.
At the beginning, Ogul was like visiting a chicken farm, with the mentality of watching the excitement, but as the progress of the visit increased, the big mercenary boss who was sitting on countless amounts of money began to be calm.
Especially after seeing the modern and efficient farming and production technology, and the abundance of sandworms on the island.
Before coming, Ogul thought that Xia Feng was just enclosing a piece of land and raising 1,800 sandworms to die, but this time, it was simply subversive.
How to put it, although it is only a precious ingredient, this quantity has reached the level of "quantitative change causes qualitative change".
.....
Xia Feng is also a person who has seen the world, and he is very confident in his breeding base.
"How's it going, old Gu, it's not bad."
The frivolity on Ogur's face vanished, replaced by a solemn one.
"Xia Feng, what is the output of sandworms in your breeding base?"
Xia Feng did a rough calculation.
"Now, because of the winter, the growth of sandworms is a little slow, less than 100,000 per month, and if the weather warms up, the yield will increase by a few percent."
"So much!"
"Heh, this is just this stage, wait until next spring, I am still going to expand the breeding area, right, Xiaohui."
Xiaohui next to him nodded.
"That's right, the feed supply is stable now, and if the farming area is expanded to the coastline, then it will not be a problem to double the production from the current level."
Ogur is not a fool, and things like sandworms are worth far more in Colombia than in Victoria.
At the same time, he also understood that Xia Feng was not looking for him to help this time, but genuinely "making money together".
Without any hesitation, Ogul immediately made a decision.
"I'm involved in this sandworm business!"
.....
For Colombia, Black Steel International naturally knows very well, but in the final analysis, they are mercenaries, not sellers.
For qualified businessmen, though, this is not a problem at all.
Can't you learn? No, no, no, you don't have to learn it yourself.
It may be easier to pay a professional to help you make money, especially if you have a gun in your hand.
In this way, the cooperation with Ogul's sandworm is considered to be successfully finalized, and no matter how the subsequent sandworm is priced and distributed in Colombia, Blacksteel International will be fully responsible.
.....
After the cooperation was finalized, Ogul's whole person can be described as refreshed and full of spring breeze.
Since he intervened, he became very interested in this sandworm breeding base, and after returning to the coast from the island, he saw him holding his arms and seriously inspecting it.
Finally, he gave some professional advice as a security company.
"Xia Feng, you don't seem to be safe here, it's empty all around, and there is not even a watchtower."
Xia Feng disagreed.
"Harm, it's okay, there are no thieves here, not to mention that we have security guards."
"How many security guards do you have?"
"There are only two of them at the moment, you know, Red Knife and Lapland."
Ogur touched his chin and thought for a moment, muttering to himself.
"Well..... This is not possible, but it is still necessary to ensure the most basic security. ”
......
That night, Ogul used the black steel intercomm on board the plane to mobilize a fully armed professional security team of more than 200 people directly from the headquarters.
This is the elite team of Black Steel, not to mention the number of only 200 people, but the sophisticated equipment and combat quality are enough to easily annihilate an enemy far more than ten times their own in the event of a frontal conflict.
In Ogur's words.
"Safety is paramount."
