Chapter 423: Then Please Make Me a Great Man!
Niner's information had been sent over before Shepard returned to his residence, after all, no matter how it was said, everyone had eaten in a pot and shared the spoils in a room, and Columbi's *** newspaper was naturally a little favor.
After arranging the other party to the living room first, Shepard picked up the relevant documents and skimmed through them roughly, and then found that this guy was really not a fuel-efficient lamp.
He has debuted as an independent journalist for many years, and has published many editorials with a radical flavor, covering government policies, criminal organizations, affirmative action movements, etc., but he is not a reality troll, at most he is a social activist.
And such a person will naturally have a little tendency, that is, Colombia has become a little bit of a person in recent years, if it were twenty years ago, maybe this freelance journalist would have been secretly dealt with by the Colombian government like his Chilean colleagues who were invited by Pi Dashuai to take a plane.
And even now, she is also the object of observation of the intelligence bureau, after all, you usually scold the government, scold drug dealers, and scold the guerrillas, and you still talk about reforms in the article, then naturally you can't be regarded as an ordinary reporter, you must punch hard, after all, capitalism with Latin American characteristics is the law of the ancestors, and there are very few successful people, and there are many who are killed after success, such as the predecessor of the Chilean marshal who likes to invite the left man to take a plane and the right person to take a car.
But it is undeniable that this freelance journalist is also a fierce guy, in order to get material, she even went undercover in *** guerrillas and refugee camps, and dug up a lot of terrifying truths.
But for Shepard, he has seen too many Western journalists, these guys listen to the wind and rain, but when you meet him, don't think about it!
"Long wait, Lady Ninner!"
"It's been a long time, and it seems that Mr. Shepard has a bad stomach!"
"What if there's a problem with Colombia's food?"
"Colombians are fine when they eat the same food, but Americans have problems when they eat it, so shouldn't Americans reflect on themselves?"
The female reporter leisurely lifted her legs, revealing a slightly wheat-colored delicate skin, with no more or no less muscle lines, full and firm.
"That's true, but what if it's something else?"
"What factors?"
"For example, a beautiful lady is unforgettable!"
"I'll just take it as a compliment!"
Ninell's eyebrows rose slightly, obviously, no matter who it was, if he was complimented without a trace, he would naturally be in a much better mood.
"So, tell me why you're here!"
Say thank you, Shepard will definitely not believe it all, maybe the first time the other party wanted to do this, but the second time he put on makeup and changed clothes, and the plot of thanking him can be seen in the movie.
"So you all like to be so direct?"
"After all, time is money, and I'm a military contractor who specializes in solving projects that the government can't solve for cumbersome reasons!"
"Got it!"
Ninell nodded, and then the first question made Shepard almost tense.
"So, how much money did the government spend to hire you to fight drug crime? Or rather, how much benefit do you receive?
Shepard raised his eyebrows, and could only say that the other party really had two brushes, and he came up to the point, very direct!
"Well, after all, we are a private enterprise, and we also need a qualified remuneration to support our families, so naturally the money will not be too small, of course, this money is not borne by Colombia, so you don't have to worry too much!"
Shepard replied directly.
He is also telling the truth, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs has so far allocated one or two million dollars for the Shadow Company to fight drug trafficking syndicates, plus the income from the equity of the oil fields given by the Colombian side, the Colombian government really has not paid a dime of the money.
"How much is that?"
"Well, three million dollars!"
"Sounds a little little!"
"Yes, but as we all know, the Shadow Group is one
As a responsible private military enterprise with the responsibility of world peace, our actions are not based on profits, but on the local people, so as long as the people are satisfied, then money or anything does not matter!"
"Sounds great!"
"It's not what it sounds like, that's what we do!"
"Completely unselfish?"
"Of course, there is a little, but not much!"
Ninell obviously didn't believe it, but Shepard didn't admit it, she couldn't help it, and she still believed a little bit about what the other party said, after all, in such an era, there will always be some unrealistic fantasies about the so-called beauty, just like the princess who was imprisoned by the evil dragon would fantasize that Prince Charming rode a unicorn and stepped on colorful auspicious clouds to save herself.
Niner really has some expectations for the Shadow Company, after all, the efficiency of the other party entering Colombia to fight drug dealers is really high!
After all, this era is only worse than rotten, so as long as the performance around you is worse than you, then you are the best.
Later, Ninell asked some questions about Shepard's original intention of establishing the Shadow Company, and Shepard naturally couldn't tell him directly that he wanted to take advantage of the Cold War, so his answer was disappointment at the confrontation between great powers and indignation at the injustice of the world.
Even Shepard took the initiative to mention that he helped the Angolan people and the Congolese people to fight the colonizers, and the François brothers, who were already dead, were once again dug up and whipped their bodies, and Shepard charged this unlucky child with crimes including but not limited to *** grandmother, slaughtering villages, etc., and this is exactly what Ninell wants to hear, her position is destined to make her interested in this kind of thing, so she gradually believes a lot of what Shepard said about justice, human rights, and the like.
Even she had already figured out what to say about the Shadow Company and its founders in her editorial.
And Shepard also knows that playing words cannot be unrestrained, but must be suppressed to be more convincing, so he also said that although his company is trying to develop better, it is inevitable that there will be shortcomings, such as accidental injury to civilians in the operation, or the use of abnormal means to obtain intelligence.
And after this set of rhetoric, Ninell looked at Shepard with a little more admiration, and even the posture and distance of the conversation between the two became more and more intimate.
"So, if you really want to write information about us, be sure to report it truthfully, after all, no one is perfect, and we have a lot of shortcomings!"
That's what Shepard said.
But in my heart, it became, in order to make the Shadow Company better deceive the wrongdoers, so, please make me a great man!
