The splendid hall, the crowds in rich clothes. Food, wine and beautiful women are all full of laughter.
Lin Rui is not used to this place, just like he is not used to the stereotypical suit. Long Zhengwu looked at him and smiled and said, "Why, you don't often experience such occasions?"
¡°It¡¯s not that I haven¡¯t experienced it, it¡¯s that I have never experienced it before.¡± Lin Rui said slowly, ¡°These people make me feel nervous.¡±
"It's okay to be nervous, because the people here are not good people." Long Zhengwu said with a smile, "No matter how neatly you dress, you can't change this. This is the most cruel group of people in the world."
Shogishi nodded and said, "The real cannibals are not on the battlefield, but the vested interests behind the war. In a sense, this is also a battlefield." After he put on his dress and glasses, , looking very graceful.
Long Zhengwu smiled, held the wine glass and whispered, "Jiang'an, take him to get familiar with this place."
Jiang An nodded and took Lin Rui to wander and chat casually in the hall. "Have you seen that person?" Jiang An winked at Lin Rui.
"What's wrong?" Lin Rui frowned slightly and followed his eyes. A tall middle-aged man was chatting and laughing among several people.
"He is a representative of Deyang Group. This company is very large and the largest military logistics contractor in the United States. The company is basically responsible for the maintenance and transportation of U.S. military aircraft. They also have security contracts to protect Afghan military and political leaders. It was paid by the U.S. Department of Foreign Affairs to hire contractors from the Deyang Group. On the surface, it seems to be a very formal company, but in fact, they also have secret presence in some troubled areas in Africa and South America." Jiang An said slowly.
"Deyang Company? I've heard a little bit. They are considered a giant in the international mercenary industry." Lin Rui nodded.
"The woman next to him is even more incredible. She belongs to Titan Company. This company was founded in San Diego in 1981 and is a major supplier of national security and homeland security products. Its main businesses include: homeland security and the war on terrorism; providing services to the US military and Allied Forces provides c4isr systems. Most of its customers are defense, intelligence and other government law enforcement agencies. Annual sales revenue exceeds $2 billion and 12,000 employees. Business operations span 12 countries around the world. The company is also listed on the New York Stock Exchange." Kishi whispered.
"Another private military giant." Lin Rui couldn't help but smile bitterly, "Compared with them, we are nothing."
"But compared to the big guy in front of them, they are nothing. If they are considered giants, then the guy in front of them can be said to be a prehistoric giant." Shogishi smiled and said, "Lockheed Martin, they are The world¡¯s largest defense industry contractor in terms of turnover. They control one-third of the U.S. aviation industry. But unlike us, they are engaged in high-end industries. We can only be regarded as labor services at best.¡±
"I have studied too little and can only work as a coolie." Lin Rui touched his nose and said, "Where does Morning Star Company rank among these people?"
"In terms of military services, Morningstar is at least among the top five. But in terms of financial strength, it certainly cannot be compared with giants like Lockheed Martin and Boeing. Long Zhengwu is right, this is a military club. They are also a group of business leaders pursuing war interests." Jiang An said calmly.
"Aren't we the same?" Lin Rui said slowly.
"Yes, we are too, and we are far less strong than them." Jiang An whispered, "Let's go, I will take you for a walk, you must learn to blend into this circle. Otherwise, you will be treated as an alien."
Long Zhengwu walked into the crowd holding a glass of wine and greeted many people. Many people in the crowd didn't recognize him and just smiled at him politely. But the expressions of those who knew him changed, and their expressions became extremely solemn.
Finally, the representative of Deyang Group walked into the crowd, smiled and raised his glass and said, "Everyone, our gathering today is mainly to welcome a new member. This new member is really mysterious. In just a few short He obtained the highest-level military contracting qualification within a month. But even I don¡¯t know who he is. It wasn¡¯t until just now that I recognized him. Our old friend Mr. Long Zhengwu is back again.¡±
Nearly all the crowd fell silent, and everyone's eyes were focused on the fat man.
Long Zhengwu smiled, walked out, and said helplessly, "I'm actually not mysterious, especially to some old friends. At best, I can only be considered a bit low-key. You know that I am Chinese, and generally Chinese people are relatively modest. ." His words caused some people to laugh.
"Mr. Long, but I'm very surprised. As far as we know, you have been away for a long time, why are you coming back?" That oneThe beauty representing Titan Company smiled.
"Well, maybe it's because the profits of my fast food restaurant are too thin. But my belly is very fat. There is no way, in order to keep my figure from starvation, I can only come back to my old job." Long Zhengwu He said solemnly, holding his beer belly.
"I object." Qiao finally separated from the crowd and walked out. He sneered, "This Mr. Long is one of the board members of our Morning Star Company. Now he actually reappears here as the Black Island Military Company. It seems that It¡¯s not appropriate.¡±
Long Zhengwu looked at Qiao, smiled slightly and said, "I don't know what you mean by inappropriate? Everyone here probably owns more than one company, right? Many even hold shares of several large companies at the same time. This is nothing new. Besides, becoming a member of the management committee means obtaining the highest level of military contracting qualification. This rule has never changed, right?"
"Humph, then I have to ask you. Which party's interests does this Mr. Long standing here represent? Morningstar Company, or your unknown Black Island Company?" Qiao said coldly.
"Is there any difference?" Long Zhengwu said with a smile, "Whether it is Morning Star or Black Island, they are all members of this circle, and the purpose of our initial establishment of this management committee is to eliminate internal conflicts and maintain common interests. From then on. From a business perspective, we may be competitors, but from a committee perspective, our interests are the same."
"Mr. Long's words are indeed very reasonable, and the purpose of the management committee is indeed the same. Qiao, this is a business place, and a business place must have business rules. We don't care what conflicts there are between Morning Star and Black Island, but you This cannot be used as a reason to attack Mr. Long. This is the rule of the management committee." The representative of Lockheed Martin came out with a smile and extended his hand to Long Zhengwu, "Mr. Long, welcome to join."
Joe¡¯s face became a little ugly. He knew the background and power of Lockheed Martin. Since they have spoken in support of Long Zhengwu, there will be no doubt that Long Zhengwu and Heidao Company will join the management committee. Sure enough, representatives from some large military companies came forward to congratulate Long Zhengwu.
