Chapter 393: Kadazo of the Appointment

The overall framework and rectification process on the umbrella side are all done, and the rest is much easier!

It's just that the HR of the HR department of the umbrella is relatively special, and it can't be tapped from other companies at will, and it requires not only the professionalism of HR, but also a good understanding of military matters.

Ordinary HR is bound to be unadaptable!

Sean looked at Little John, "I also have to help you find information from the retired officers of the military over the years, whether you are engaged in HR work after retirement, even if the work experience is not so rich, but HR things are easy to learn, military, no military experience can not be understood at all." ”

"I'll try." Little John agreed to come down.

In addition to this, John Jr. also suggested that it would be better to have some cooperation with the military and explore some experience during the restructuring of the company.

This thing can't be seen on the outside, and you have to actually explore it to know the depth, shallowness, thickness, and fineness.

The matter was settled for the time being, and the next day, Sean went to Washington with John Jr. and Weinberg.

In the secret villa that Norris had previously ordered to buy, Sean met again with several of the top military officials who had dinner with him last time.

As for the mission of the Moroccan Navy air base during the construction of the air base, it was only mentioned that it passed, and no one took it too seriously.

The military doesn't spend its own money, and Sean doesn't look down on that profit.

It's just a run-in.

After a meal, John also smiled and chatted about his retirement life, and everyone tacitly agreed.

After the meal, Sean got up and took his leave, of course, Norris had other arrangements for the old men, enough for them to be happy.

……

"What?" Sean looked at Lorraine in front of him incredulously.

"Phone, Gaddafi." Lorraine nodded, indicating that Sean had heard correctly.

"What did he call me for?" Sean wondered, but picked it up anyway.

"Mr. Sean, it's a pleasure to talk to you on the phone, you know who I am." Gaddafi's voice came out of the phone.

Sean raised an eyebrow, "Oh, I know what it has to do with you introducing yourself?"

"Of course, who in the world does not know the name of Mr. Gaddafi!" Sean casually complimented.

There was a hearty laugh from Cardazo on the phone, and Sean was about to ask where Cardazo got his call, but he heard Cardazo's voice on the phone again, "Mr. Sean, I called to invite you to a meal, to Libya, I believe, we will have a pleasant dinner." ”

Sean listened to a black line in his head, why are you sick, I came all the way to have a meal with you?

I know that there must be something wrong with Cardazo, but you just say it, what are you doing with so much nonsense?

Does Lao Tzu have a lot of time to play with you?

It's just that the next sentence of Cardazo made Sean agree, "I heard that Mr. Sean is a pure businessman, and he will not dare to set foot in Libya because of the tension between the United States and us." ”

Oh, the corners of Sean's mouth twitched, "Of course, capital is free and has no borders, I will go to Libya as soon as possible!" ”

Hanging up the phone, Sean scolded in a low voice, nervous, and then gave Lorraine an order: "Send me the latest information on Cardazo and Libya." ”

Lorraine went to prepare, Sean was not idle, and today he was going to visit President Reagan with Weinberg in the White House.

In addition to the task of covering the building, the government side also has to fight for the task umbrella, and now that the military contractor market is developing rapidly, it is necessary to rush for time.

The appointment with Reagan is in the afternoon, that is, Sean and Weinberg are here, change to someone else, and want to meet with the president of the world's largest country a day in advance, and want to eat fart!

As soon as Lorraine left, Monroe pushed the door and walked in, he came in a hurry from New York, and Sean didn't know that he could stay in the United States for a few days, and he had to hurry up and deal with official business.

At present, in addition to the business on the umbrella side, the most important thing is the construction of the card swipe system on the Monroe side.

is like the film company on Katzenberg's side, Sean doesn't have the energy to care at all, but he heard that "Goodfellas" has been released, and Michelle Yeoh and Maggie Cheung's movies are about to be released.

Sean reckons that he doesn't have time to attend any premieres.

"The credit card machine system was laid smoothly, the system server was provided by IBM, and the price was appropriate." As soon as Monroe sat down, he began to report, "In terms of data transmission, we have cooperated with six telephone companies backwards, and there is no way, no telephone company can build a network in the United States, and we can only choose the largest service provider in each state." ”

"IBM thinks there is no problem, although the data is cut, but the summary problem, you can use the continuation method, set up a base point on the east and west coasts, and conduct data exchange once a day and three days, and the people who can really fly on both sides of the east and west are a minority, and this kind of person should be the best quality customers, even if the card is burst, it is not a big problem."

"We have estimated the bad debt rate, and we can afford it."

"What's the difficulty?" Sean asked with a smile.

"Merchant pre-installed card machine!" Monroe said in a deep voice: "Once we officially start processing credit cards, then, the merchant must have a credit card machine when the customer uses it. ”

"But the problem now is that we have not officially withdrawn from the credit card business, which is still a new concept in the world, even if it is VISA, the scope of application is limited to hotels, official business, which is very different from us, even so, ordinary people have never heard of VISA."

"In this case, merchants are not willing to spend a lot of money to install a credit card machine!"

Sean frowned, "That is to say, without a credit card machine, we can't open a credit card, and if credit cards are not popular, merchants are reluctant to install credit card machines!" ”

"Yes, Endless Loop!" Monroe said in a deep voice.

"The promotion department won't be at all helpless!" Sean asked with a calm face.

"Inviting celebrities to advertise, coupled with the large-scale publicity of newspapers and TV stations, let the whole United States know about it, and then promote it, but I don't think this will work, the effect will not be very good, and the effect is very slow, and it will also not solve the fundamental problem of the dead loop, when the trend is just emerging, it may work well, but soon this gust of wind will be diluted by other news, and then there will be nothing left." Monroe said with a frown.

Sean nodded, he thought so too, but how to solve this endless cycle is really difficult!

This is not like the era of later generations, when everyone knew the concept of swiping cards.

Concept, Concept......

Sean muttered, and there was a faint idea in his head.

Waving his hand to silence Monroe, Sean leaned back on the couch, covering his eyes with one hand and began to ponder.

In fact, although the idea of the promotion department is old-fashioned, it also means that the insurance is high, and the lower limit is high.

Just a little variation!

Moreover, you can't just rely on advertising, you can also increase the promotion methods.

"I have an idea, so let's go to Hollywood in the evening and talk to Katzenberg." After a long time, Sean smiled and said, "I'll have to go to the white house in a while, no way, poor, hard work." ”

Monroe opened his mouth and was about to say, 'Okay, I'll wait here', but Sean choked on his words and coughed on the spot.

Versailles or something, I hate people the most!

……

At lunchtime, Lorraine brought in information about Cadazzo and Libya in recent years.

It's not classified information, but it's enough.

In 1980, the United States declared Libya a "state sponsor of terrorism" and closed its embassy in Libya.

In 1981, U.S. Navy planes shot down two Libyan planes, and the two countries severed diplomatic relations.

In 1986, then-U.S. President Ronald Reagan ordered the end of economic and trade relations with Libya and froze Libya's assets in the United States.

In the early morning of April 15, 1986, the United States dispatched three aircraft carriers, 34 other ships, and hundreds of aircraft, including 18 F-111 fighter-bombers, to carry out a surprise air raid codenamed "Golden Canyon" on Libya, bombing the capital Tripoli and the important port of Benghazi at a large and ultra-low altitude, and Libya lost a total of 14 aircraft, five radar stations, and more than 700 casualties.

Having suffered repeated blows from the United States, according to normal logic, Libya will be very nervous, but, if the chairman of the Organization of African Unity, the king of kings, Kadazo, will bow his head, then he will not be Kadazo!

Even in the face of the economic blockade and military strikes of the United States, Cardazo still kept shouting in the international community, up to the United Nations, down to the United Nations, and Reagan was very distressed by this.

In addition to arguing with the United States, Cardazo is also working against France!

Chad, one of the poorest countries in the world, fell into a civil war within a few years of independence after 60 years, and in 83 years, Cadazzo ordered to intervene in the Chadian civil war, occupying the northern part of Chad in the name of supporting the rebels in the north, driving out the French power.

Of course, this does not delay the export of Libyan oil to France, Italy, Spain and other western European countries.

War is war, business is business.

In August of the same year, the French began to strongly support the government forces in southern Chad to establish a defensive line in the central region against the attack of Cardazo.

After the U.S. bombing of Cadazzo last year, Chadian President Hussein HabrΓ© saw an opportunity to begin a counteroffensive with the support of France.

Interestingly, the information shows that the fighting was originally deadlocked, but two months ago, HabrΓ© was greatly inspired by the fact that the Western Sahara Front supported by Sean used pickup trucks as a means of transport to stir up trouble on the sand embankment defense line.

With the help of France, a large number of Toyota cars were imported through Cameroon, anti-aircraft machine guns, small mortars, rocket launchers and other weapons were fired in the rear body and began a war of movement.

This time, Kadazuo really cried bitterly, and the armored troops couldn't beat the Toyota team......

Defeat and retreat!

So...... "Kadazo, this is in a hurry?" Sean looked at the information and couldn't help but smile on his face, "He didn't ask me to help him solve this 'Toyota tactic'!" ”

Lorraine shrugged, and she thought it might be so.

"No, should Toyota pay me an endorsement fee?" Sean suddenly raised his head and said, "Damn, Toyota is famous now, at least in Africa!" ”

Lorraine ignored Sean's strange thoughts, and instead asked, "Do you have a way to deal with this Toyota tactic that you have come up with?" ”

"It's not funny!" Sean touched his chin.

Toyota pickup trucks are small, lightweight, fast, with low engine noise and low requirements for gasoline standards.

And due to the low power, the desert temperature is hot during the day, and the temperature difference between the engine and exhaust pipe position and the outside is relatively small, even with infrared-guided individual air defense weapons SAM-7 or Stinger It is difficult to complete the lock.

Even if the lock is really completed, the first shot is accurate, what is the price of the SAM-7, what is the price of the Stinger, and what is the price of a broken pickup!

As for any RPG, don't even think about it, even if you want to hit a Mercedes-Benz pickup truck with an RPG within range, you can only pray to God.

Of course, the premise of all this is that the fighting sides are confined to Africa.

Replace it with any of the five hooligans, what bullshit Toyota tactics, a special operations squad, teach them to be people in minutes.

"The only thing that can defeat magic is magic, and it's not completely impossible." Sean said after pondering for a moment.

"Do you really have a way?"

Sean has a standard tactical backswing, what is a military expert. JPG

"But Libya and the United States are opposites, and the White House has not announced the resumption of trade with Libya, and you are violating government decrees in this way." Lorraine reminded.

(Λ‰β–½ Μ„~)Cut~~!

What a bullshit government decree!

Sean doesn't care, who said that I traded with Cardazo, it's clearly Morocco!

After lunch and a little rest, in the afternoon Sean and Weinberg went straight to the White House.

After the military order is obtained, the government order Sean will also be won.

After a few small talks in the president's office, Sean directly mentioned it.

The current agency responsible for protecting U.S. officials from abroad is the Diplomatic

Security

Service。

(PS: Fast and Furious veteran driver Luke Hobbs (played by Dwayne Johnson) is a DSS agent)

The Bureau of Diplomatic Security is the forerunner of the CIA and the Department of Internal Security, established after World War I, but has a very chaotic mandate, responsible for international threat analysis, information security technology, counterterrorism, security technology investigations related to American interests, protecting the security of citizens, property and information, providing a safe and reliable environment for the foreign policy conduct of the United States government, foreign intelligence agencies to investigate the activities of the United States Department of State, to assist in the search for criminals who have escaped into the United States, and to investigate State Department employees, Applicants and contractors do background checks.

There are many things in charge, the forces are relatively scattered, and most of them are civilians, and the real combatants are called MSD teams, and there are very few people.

It's about a 10-person department, and 9 leaders see 1 person digging a pit.

But the size of the department is already very large, and if you want to expand it, whether it is the CIA or the FBI, the six major intelligence agencies are all opposed.

Why don't you give you a department to be in charge of?

And the protected, whether it is the embassy or the visiting government officials, are also dissatisfied that there are too few actual combat-ready security personnel, and for these American officials who are ready to do bad things outside, the security is not fully guaranteed.

And Weinberg's cooperation method designed for Sean is that only the security personnel who are responsible for providing full-time combat for DSS will obey the command of DSS staff, and will never interfere with the work that DSS is responsible for, but will take on the most dangerous part of the work.

Well, it's the one of the 10 who works.

So, as soon as Sean mentioned it, Reagan agreed without hesitation to bring it up at the next congressional meeting.

I believe that even the people of the Donkey Party will not object!

After all, donkey party officials also have to travel frequently, and no one will provoke a doctor when they are sick, and no one will provoke the security personnel responsible for their own safety.

Most importantly, this proposal is bound to be welcomed by the FBI and CIA, which is tantamount to radically reducing the possibility of DSS expansion.

And the DSS is unlikely to strongly oppose it, after all, it is only the outsourcing of combatants, and it does not affect the overwhelming majority of the ...... Ahem, civilian personnel, and most importantly, funding will not be reduced, but will be significantly increased.

After all, it costs money to hire so many security guards!

The cost of the umbrella can be not low.

It was the perfect proposal, and it was in everyone's interest.

As for government spending, it's never been a problem!

This is the value of the former secretary of defense, and the plan of cooperation with the government is perfect, and Weinberg's initial budget is 100 million per year, if it is not enough, then continue to add more, and the United States will never be stingy when it comes to protecting the safety of government workers.

DSS doesn't skimp on money either.

The whole world is the same truth, the budget is 100 million, but by the end of the year, only 60 million was spent, and the budget allocated by the government in the next year will inevitably be reduced to 60 million!

However, if 150 million yuan is spent, the budget for the second year will inevitably increase, if not to 1.5, at least it will not be reduced.

This is called a year-end surprise spending...... Ahem.

Therefore, Sean is not worried at all that DSS is reluctant to hire people, they will spend every penny, and Sean will not be stingy, and the benefits that should be given will not be less.

He is already planning to hire a group of people from the DSS retirement hierarchy.

Of course, there's no rush in this matter, now Sean is going to talk about Cardazo.

The umbrella is also a private military contractor supported by the military, and of course has to maintain communication with the military and the White House.

"Cardazo!" Reagan was surprised that this guy would think of finding Sean to solve the problem.

With a sneer, Reagan said: "When he was young, Cardazo was still a hot-blooded young man, his family was very poor, and his parents were illiterate, but when he was a child, he was determined to study, and went to college, do you know the literacy rate in Libya in the 50s? ”

"But since the overthrow of Libya, Cardazo has gradually begun to become arrogant, he even confiscated American assets in Libya, and your Rockefeller family has suffered heavy losses because of Cardazo." Reagan said with a smile.

Sean shrugged and didn't say anything.

"Now, Cardazo has completely carried away, and we must be against Libya in our attitude, you have to understand that."

"Of course." Sean nodded, and then said: "I have followed the dynamics of Libya before, and I think that if Kadazo withdraws his troops from Chad and restores the former border line, it will be a good thing for Libya, and the so-called occupation of northern Chad has no value except to meet Kadazo's own needs for great success." ”

"He hasn't dealt with the opposition in Libya!"

"So, I think it makes sense for the U.S. to support Cardazo and let them continue the war with Chad on the border."

"It's like the Imperial Graveyard has completely sunk the old Maozi into mud, delaying Cardazo in northern Chad, and at the same time supporting the opposition forces in their country, so that Cardazo is too busy to take care of himself, so that his arrogance can be countered and he will bow his head!"

"I can't predict the chain reaction that will occur after Kadazuo is mired in the quagmire, and this aspect still depends on the judgment of the Ministry of State F." Sean smiled and raised an eyebrow.

After a little thought, Reagan realized that this matter was very operational, and the two countries had a long-standing grudge, as early as in 70 when Cardazo announced the return of the US military base near the capital, Tripoli.

Subsequently, Gaddafi held 143 tons of gold reserves, hoping to create a pan-African currency to oppose the current global dollar system, and at the same time use huge oil production to interfere with the US petrodollar program.

Of course, OPEC and these people are oversupplied......

That's why Reagan ordered an air strike on Libya, a small country that is not big, and the harm is not small.

I don't know what Kadazo thinks, and he has to wrestle with the United States......

Of course, the United States was very uncomfortable, and the United States found that it could only compromise if it could not kill him and could not launch a large-scale war of aggression.

First: there are old hairy people eyeing the tiger, and second: oil prices have reached historic lows, and the oil tycoons have no incentive to push the United States to start a war and seize the Libyan oil fields.

Is it just for the sake of reducing production?!

Even if production is reduced, including Silly Damu and YL, a few Middle Eastern countries will only increase production to fill the gap.

The price of oil still can't go up.

So, similar to YL, the United States has been trying to improve relations with Carazzo.

If he can force Cardazo to bow his head this time, re-establish diplomatic relations between the two sides, and not make trouble for the United States, Reagan will have made remarkable political achievements!

"What do you suggest?" Reagan thought for a moment and then looked at Sean with a smile and asked, this is asking Sean what benefits he wants.

This is the United States, there is no country for the people, only transactions!

"As we all know, the United States never interferes in the affairs of other countries!" Sean said nonsense in a serious manner: "The United States is very sympathetic to the plight of the Chadians, and will support Chad with a sum of money, but how the Chadians use it, that's their business." ”

"Chad is too poor, they have no industrial capacity, and in order to fight the brutal Cardazo and to achieve national unity, they can only buy arms in large quantities, and as a protective umbrella for private armed forces contracts, they can sell arms to Chad."

"Of course there is no problem with the American side, but Chad is a traditional power in France, and it uses francs, and almost all the weapons are purchased from France, given your ......relationship with the French side," Reagan smiled and shook his head.

Sean:!!!
