"Thirty percent, you can't be serious, right?" Crystal frowned, "Are you so short of money?"
"It's not that I am short of money, but that the entire company is short of money." Lin Rui shook his head, "We invested a lot in the Western Sahara Popular Front. Although we got some returns, it was a drop in the bucket after all.
After we split from Black Island Company, our expenses have been very high. For such a large company, just the direct combat personnel have thousands of people to support. If there were no other businesses, just bearing the salaries of these people would be a heavy burden.
At present, in addition to direct combat tasks, the most is military training and outsourcing services. But these alone can only meet some basic needs. Others still have certain gaps. We have a contract with every brother. Brothers who are injured or killed need compensation, and brothers whose contracts have expired need resettlement expenses.
¡°And my brothers are in danger of losing their lives every day. I can't think of any reason why they would do this if it wasn't for money. So I can¡¯t treat them badly, and the company needs to continue to develop and needs to invest more funds. "
"Okay, okay, up to 20% more." Crystal nodded.
"Thirty percent, no less. If you feel you can't decide, I can talk to your father directly. But my offer will not be lower." Lin Rui shook his head.
Crystal smiled and said, "Mr. Rick, you may not understand yet. When I was doing business with my father, I had a master's degree in business administration. And we were also one of the invisible shareholders in Black Island Company before. .No one is more familiar with how you operate than me.
In fact, it is not as unbearable as you said. In fact, after you became independent from Black Island Company, your financial situation is quite good. It can be said that it is far superior to other small and medium-sized private military companies. Moreover, the war in Western Sahara has brought you huge profits.
My father does value your abilities, but he will never find a company with financial problems to help him. So you don't have to cry about poverty in front of me. In view of the special nature of this mission, I can decide on the reward, but I can only add 20% at most. "
"Thirty percent." Lin Rui shook his head.
Crystal slapped the table, "You'd better agree, otherwise I'm going to lower the price. Only 10% more."
Lin Rui sighed, "Then add 20%. You are simply more difficult to deal with than your father. I originally thought that your family has a big business, so I don't care about this."
"It doesn't matter, we won't give in at all." Crystal smiled, "So we have reached an agreement?"
Shogishi nodded, "I quite agree with your point of view. Friendship is one thing, and business should be done as business. All the expenses of the entire mission will be borne by you, and we will only send out people. And the mission should last for one month. After that, from now on we have to start getting familiar with this task.
We are responsible for formulating the plan and implementing it, and you must bear all the costs of our mission. "
"This is no problem." Crystal nodded.
"Crystal, can I ask? How much is the thing you want worth?" Sergey hesitated.
"This is our trade secret. You just do your job and get paid. Other things have nothing to do with you. Believe me, this is for your own good. The more you know about these things, the better for you It actually doesn¡¯t do any good.¡± Crystal nodded.
"Okay." Lin Rui nodded, "So when will it start? I don't want our main business in the Western Sahara to be affected because of your additional tasks."
"There is no conflict between the two. Tagore was suddenly captured, and the secret society was not prepared. This will disrupt many of their planned arrangements. So they will definitely need some time to adjust, so you have sufficient time to take over this task." Crystal nodded.
"Understood." Masakishi replied, "We need relevant information and all the details about this mission. You should know that this mission is of great importance, and we don't want to do anything unprepared."
"We will help you with all the preparations. I suggest you put your current work aside from now on, pack up and follow me." Crystal nodded.
"Follow you? Where to go?" Lin Rui frowned.
Crystal looked at her watch and said seriously, "In 6 hours, Zhao Jianfei will come to pick us up, and I will take you to a place in the Somali waters. We will spend the next entire month at sea."
"At sea?" Scarface said hesitantly, "Is it on a ship?"
"It can be said to be a ship, but it can also be said to be an island. You will know when you get there." Crystal smiled.
Lin Rui did not object, he knew the rules of this type of task. The other party offered a high price because they wanted to do something for them, not to ask questions.
A transport plane transported it to the waters of Somalia, then transferred to a helicopter and landed at the place Crystal mentioned.
The first time I arrived here, even Jiang An was shocked. Because the place where they landed was a huge floating platform on the sea. It is actually a huge artificial floating island composed of multiple floating platforms assembled together.
Looking down from the air on this huge artificial floating island, the visual impact is quite shocking. It is almost like a small town. Not only are there multiple offshore working platforms connected, but it is also a complex structure with several layers.
"I finally understand why this place is called an island. This is simply the size of a small island. Except that there are no plants on this island and there are steel structures everywhere." Sausage said in surprise.
"Welcome to Deng Shen Island." Crystal smiled. "It consists of a total of 12 offshore platforms, with independent desalination systems, medical facilities, and maintenance docks. There are even cinemas, tennis courts, and basketball courts in the living area.
There are more than 2,000 staff members on the island. Responsible for logistics support, information processing, research and combat training. Each offshore platform has separate energy and communications systems. There are four main docks here, and where we landed now is one of them. "
"I can't help but think now that I really should have insisted on asking for more remuneration. I know that Aladdin has accumulated a lot of wealth over the years, and he can really be said to be as rich as the country. But what I don't know is that you are actually rich. To this extent. Is your father a certain chief in the Middle East?" Lin Rui couldn't help but smile bitterly.
"What you see is the hard work of my father's life. This Deng God Island was built by him over a period of fourteen and five years, and it has been kept secret from the outside world. Even the secret society doesn't know about it." Crystal whispered.
