At three o¡¯clock in the afternoon, Lin Rui and others came to Askar Security Services Company together with the black broker Wallace. This is the earliest established company and the main company exporting mercenaries overseas from Uganda.
Ugandan mercenaries are a "cheap and high-quality" option for military contractors. A monthly salary of US$1,000 is enough for a Ugandan veteran to happily go to Iraq or other war zones, because based on the average wage level in Uganda during the same period, he would earn less than US$300 a year in the country.
However, considering the dangers of the job, a thousand dollars is a pittance. The main base of the US military in Iraq, "Camp Victory", is guarded by Ugandan mercenaries. Security tasks include checking whether vehicles entering and exiting are loaded with bombs.
This work may cost them their lives at any time, and their treatment is pitifully low in the eyes of the US military. Therefore, Ugandan mercenaries quickly became famous in the security industry with their "cheap and high-quality" advantages, and became a common end of the mercenary industry supply chain, and the top of the supply chain is often the U.S. Pentagon.
As a company that exports mercenaries to the outside world, the Askar Security Service Company has also been on the rise, and has become very prosperous in recent years. Although as a low-end link, the profits they can get are limited, but it does not prevent them from becoming a pivotal role in the eyes of various military security companies.
The security at the door is very strict. Several big black men are wearing white shirts and black suits. They all have dark, shiny bald heads and wear sunglasses. Stand there and check the person's belongings. If there are weapons, they will be securely secured. Judging from their search methods, they are quite formal. This shows that these security guards have received strict training.
Lin Rui and others followed Wallace in, and Wallace whispered a few words to one of the security guards. The black security guard nodded, walked over, and gave priority to Lin Rui and others to check. Lin Rui and Jiang An didn't care, but Yelena would not let this black man search her body.
She pinched the black security guard¡¯s wrist and said coldly, ¡°Take your claws away!¡±
The big black man frowned and said, "Sorry, ma'am, this is a safety rule."
"Any rules can be changed." Lin Rui placed a card in front of him. The big black man looked at it, lowered his head and walked away immediately. This is a card from the Black Island Military Company. The black island and lightning patterns on it are quite important in the entire African mercenary world. This big black man is naturally very knowledgeable. Another reason is that his wrists are already bruised and swollen. That beautiful-looking woman's hands were like iron pliers.
The big black man looked at them in awe and then made a gesture of invitation.
"It should have been like this a long time ago. I told you, these three are distinguished guests." Wallace muttered as he walked away.
"Is this Mr. Rick from Black Island Military Company?" A black woman came out and nodded politely to them.
"Yes, we have an appointment." Wallace nodded.
The black woman smiled professionally and said, "Please follow me, Mr. Feijie is waiting for you in his office."
Lin Rui nodded and followed the woman to an office on the fourth floor. The bodyguard at the door opened the door for them.
As soon as they entered, a black man inside immediately stood up and came out to greet Lin Rui. He extended his hand to Lin Rui and said, "Hello, Mr. Rick. I am the vice president of Askar Security Services Company and the director in charge of expatriate affairs. You can call me Feijie."
Lin Rui nodded, "Hello."
After a few people sat down, the black man Feijie smiled and said, "I probably heard Wallace tell you the reason for your visit. To be honest, being able to cooperate with a large company like Black Island is simply what we dream of. And I also have great respect for Mr. Michelle of your company. But"
Lin Rui smiled slightly and said, "Although my English is not very good, I also know that after 'but', there is usually a turning point."
"Haha, that's exactly what Mr. Rick is." Feijie smiled and said, "Let's put it this way, we attach great importance to this business with you. Because I know the importance of Black Island Company in the mercenary alliance, and I have business dealings with most of the companies in the alliance. However, this time, it may indeed be a bit difficult."
"Oh? I wonder what Mr. Fei Jie's so-called difficulties are?" Lin Rui looked at him and said.
"In the past year, our business has been growing. You know that the world is not peaceful, and the recent situation is even more so. Many regions in Africa and the Middle East need us to provide high-quality mercenary sources. This has led to the increase in the resources we currently have. very nervous.
Recently, several big customers have ordered a large number of people from us. HeIt's double the price, and it's in Africa, no need to go to the Middle East. This made the mercenaries flock to him. Even some young people who have no military experience and have never touched a gun want to make a living. But even so, we don't have enough manpower. Fei Jie said helplessly.
"You mean you don't have enough troops?" Lin Rui looked at him and said.
"Yes. I'm afraid we can't help you gather five hundred people. Even gathering more than two hundred recruits will be difficult." Fei Jie said with a bitter smile. "It's true. So I really can't help you, very sorry."
Lin Rui pondered, "So is there any other way?"
"If there are other ways" Fei Jie pondered, "In normal times, I can use our relationship to talk to other companies and borrow a group of people from them. But this time it won't work. I have several other companies. I¡¯ve also asked, and their situation is similar to ours.¡±
"There is actually a labor shortage in the country of mercenaries." Jiang An sighed, "This is really something we didn't expect. But it seems a bit too coincidental, doesn't it?"
"It is indeed such a coincidence. In fact, you should be familiar with those companies. They are Morningstar Military Company and Rochester Military Resources Company. They are the two major companies, and there are several other small companies that hire people we have. All the sources of troops have been taken away." Fei Jie shook his head.
"It's Qiao and Hughes." Jiang An whispered to Lin Rui, "What do you think?"
"What else can you think about?" Lin Rui shook his head and said, "This time they are grabbing us by the throat."
"If you don't mind, we can recruit another group of recruits. The number is two to three hundred. But they are just recruits without any training. And the price is not low. After all, the current market is there. Feijie shrugged.
