The day after the Black Island meeting, Silver Wolf Michelle flew directly to Arlington County, Virginia. There is a very famous building here - the Pentagon.
After verifying the identity information, Silver Wolf Michelle was taken to the second-floor basement of the building. Soon a man met him. He was a soldier in his fifties. Although he was wearing a military uniform, he wore glasses and exuded a bookish air.
"Nice to meet you." The man stretched out his hand, "I am Lannis, Army Brigadier General. You should be the person in charge of Black Island Company."
"Yes, I am Michelle Wolf. The head of Black Island Military Company." Silver Wolf nodded.
Lannis nodded, "I've heard the name for a long time. Everything about Mr. Michel is almost a modern legend. So I'm curious, how could this mission end in failure?" He was not too polite, but Get to the point. It can be seen that his personality is not as gentle as his appearance. "
Silver Wolf shook his head, "If this mission fails, it is a failure. There is no suitable excuse. And I also think that excuses are not enough to cover up the failure. If you really need a reason, I can tell you a lot. For example, your The information provided was obviously inaccurate, and my action team was attacked midway, which meant that someone knew the time and content of the operation in advance.
But these are meaningless. We are a commercial company, and performance speaks for itself. Therefore, I can only express regret for this failure without making too many excuses. "
"Hahaha, Silver Wolf is still Silver Wolf. In fact, I also understand that it is difficult to clearly see your strength from this kind of tasks. Even if you complete it, what will happen? Even if anyone is at any time, there is a possibility of failure. But I still appreciate your attitude. You are very calm, without any panic or avoidance, which shows that you have great confidence." Lannis shrugged, "I like people with this attitude. So, Michelle Mr. Er, why did you come today?"
"Apologies for this mission." Silver Wolf Michelle replied, "This is a matter of attitude towards customers. We failed to provide corresponding help and solve the trouble, so I think we must apologize."
Lannis was silent for a while and said, "Mr. Michel, I don't know whether you believe it or not. Our mission this time is actually just a test."
"Testing?" Michelle frowned.
"Yes. We want to prove whether your Black Island Company has enough ability and qualifications to complete the tasks we have given. Because we promised the general that we will give you a chance." Lannis said.
"We are already qualified for defense contracting, there is no doubt about it." Silver Wolf replied.
"I understand, I completely understand what you mean. But you also have to understand what I mean. The so-called defense contractor qualification is just a ticket to a concert, and what we are talking about now is a VIP seat. . Do you understand the difference between these?" Lannis smiled slightly, "We cooperate with many defense contractors. But most of the cooperation is only superficial, and there are not many truly deep cooperation."
"What about?" Silver Wolf's eyes flashed.
¡°The U.S. military is currently the most dependent on private contractors in the world. According to data from the Center for Strategic and International Studies, since 2000, more than 60% of the Department of Defense¡¯s annual funding has been paid to contractors.
In addition to completing the most basic military duties, today's U.S. military soldiers have outsourced all major and minor affairs in the military. From military supplies, weapons research and development and manufacturing to logistical services related to eating, drinking and sleeping, private contractors are everywhere. Even transportation and food companies are defense contractors. Lannis shrugged and said with a smile, "This is what I call shallow cooperation. The main reason why we favor the business outsourcing model is that it can reduce costs and improve efficiency. "
"What about high-level ones?" Silver Wolf also smiled in return.
¡°In 2015, the five companies that received the largest amount of orders from the US military were Lockheed Martin, Boeing, Raytheon, General Dynamics and Grumman. They are also the largest arms manufacturers in the world. Only these five companies have The amount of military orders received this year accounts for one-third of the Department of Defense's outsourcing expenditures." Lannis shrugged, "Please note that this is hundreds of billions of dollars."
Silver Wolf nodded, "I completely believe it, because I have a pretty good relationship with several of these companies."
"This is the deep level." Lannis said with a smile, "After the 9/11 incident, the US military's business outsourcing has developed explosively, especially the service business. What we call service contractors are not just responsible for Logistics roles such as chefs and construction workers, or engineers providing equipment maintenance and technical support.
Instead, take up arms and startManagement includes military training, intelligence collection and even some defense operations. In modern countries, these tasks can generally only be undertaken by the government army. For example, in Iraq, the biggest beneficiaries of security contracts are Blackwater, Dane International, Sanpeng and other companies. They undertake tasks including training soldiers, camp security, and even interrogation and intelligence collection, while more covertly, they directly participate in combat.
This is what the general wants to win for you, in-depth cooperation. "
Silver Wolf looked at Lannis and nodded calmly, "I understand. This is the VIP seat you mentioned."
"Yes. The previous mission was a joke, because I don't think you can even handle such a thing. Listen Michelle, I talked to the general, and we both want Black Island to really enter This circle. Rather than being limited to small fights outside. I have also heard about some small frictions between you and the management committee. Trust me, it will not have any impact.
Even Lewis has to look at other people¡¯s eyes to act. We don¡¯t even have the guts to fight against the Pentagon¡¯s decision, because we are the biggest customer, and the customer is God. This is the prevailing rule in the world. Lannis sighed.
"Then what do we need to do to enter this circle?" Silver Wolf Michelle said.
"First you have to think, and then you have to do something that satisfies us. Next, I will provide you with some contracts from time to time. Of course, not the public kind. You have to complete it well to impress the military on your capabilities. Profound. A relationship of trust is formed gradually, and once formed, it is difficult to break. The general is such an example." Lannis said with a slight smile, "Otherwise, how could the Morningstar Company suddenly rise?"
Silver Wolf Michelle frowned and said, "But our mission failed this time, why did you choose to help me?"
"Because I help people who deserve help, it's like an investment. If I help you, then you owe me a favor." Lannis said with a slight smile. "Maybe when I retire from the army, I can find a position in your company."
