King Of War: Starting with Arms Dealer-Chapter 704 - 659: The Business of a Large Company_2

Security services are not just about sending out patrols, but are grounded in firearms, leading various tech companies onto the field...

For instance, reconstructing urban surveillance systems, contracting for the installation of security equipment in government departments and enterprises—these are all within their scope of business.

Others may not know, but the folks at these mercenary companies are all too aware that with Qiao's boss big moves unfolding and the oil fields recovering, a massive influx of materials is imminent, and the market will soon boom.

As long as the fight in Mosul ends with ISIS being annihilated or forced toward Syria, the south will quickly stabilize.

The frontline doesn't matter anymore; I've already sent people there. Whatever they build, it's no big deal—just means a little less bonus for those executives.

Compared to the newly developed business, these are nothing at all. How much does a shell cost anyway?

Clint Wilson found everyone looking down, lost in thought, and somewhat displeased, he said, "Hey, guys, it's pretty clear that there's no longer much point in us staying here.

Hu Lang has used logistics to coerce everyone into following his pace. I have no complaints against him, but developing new markets should be our common goal.

We need to take action, otherwise, once the war is over, if Hu Lang wants to get involved, we won't be able to compete with him."

Seeing that no one was speaking, Clint Wilson realized there was a problem...

As he was frowning, about to ask a question, CACI's Richie Barton said with a smile, "Clint, don't you know that Tian Peng's Sebastian has already secured a $5 million security contract in the southern Rumaila Oilfield?

Moreover, they have taken over the training and re-equipping of the local militia—a contract worth $6 million.

Right now, Sebastian, through the connection of Hu Lang, is negotiating with China National Petroleum Corporation on a stock transfer deal worth $90 million, and soon Tian Peng's board might see Chinese faces..."

Upon hearing this, Clint Wilson exclaimed in shock, "Oh shit! You son of a bitch, you're selling out..."

Sebastian Rosamo, the neatly dressed and somewhat handsome Tian Peng General Manager with a goatee, rolled his eyes and said, "Buddy, this is a normal business practice!

What's the problem with China National Petroleum Corporation wanting to leverage Tian Peng's channel to build a massive security force to oversee their overseas assets?"

With that, Sebastian glanced at Thomas Lynch from Xe (formerly Blackwater), who was sitting beside him, and said sarcastically, "Even though some SOBs messed up my big deal, it's no big deal, we got two new contracts..."

Clint Wilson was briefly happy to hear that Tian Peng's big deal fell through, but then when he heard they had secured two more contracts, his face soured.

The real lucrative business is in security contracts, deploying a few dozen people to patrol, stand guard, train militia, and sell equipment, sometimes not having to fire a single shot in a year, and still make tens of millions.

This is the core business for a PMC!

Thomas Lynch from Xe looked at Clint Wilson, who was still having a hard time grasping the situation, and shook his head, saying, "Haven't you figured it out yet?

If you want to do business in Iraq, you can't get around Hu Lang anymore!

Every day, Iraqi tribal militia are coming here to register their 'surrender', wanting a part in the oil companies' revitalization and most importantly, a slice of the pie in Hu Lang's humanitarian corridors.

The south stabilizing quickly is inevitable!

With the threat from terrorists reducing, the demand in Iraq for security services will decrease accordingly.

Ambassador Steven is too busy to deal with us now, he's coordinating the partnership between the American Energy Company and China National Petroleum Corporation.

I got in touch with Hu Lang through the shareholders of Exxon Mobil, who is Steven's wife, and I've secured a major contract with China National Petroleum Corporation for the resumption of oil field security.

It includes personnel and equipment safety, as well as the installation and maintenance of security equipment for the oil fields. What about you?

If you come back empty-handed, what do you think your headquarters will do to you?"

Upon hearing this, Clint Wilson clutched his head in anguish and said, "Oh shit, why didn't anyone tell me..."

CACI's Richie Barton said with a smile, "Maybe it's because you're a racist asshole, or maybe it's because you're filled with jealousy and dissatisfaction towards Hu Lang...

Otherwise, you wouldn't talk about reselling the goods right where they land; instead, you would honestly send them to the Mosul Frontline for Hu Lang to handle. Not only would this leave a good impression on Hu Lang, but also on the mercenaries of your company.

Are you so foolish to not realize that with a nod from Hu Lang, the ports in Basra could make space for our cargo ships to unload first?

Do you think the port authorities in Iraq are idiots, unable to tell the importance of arms over toothpaste, toothbrushes, soap, and laundry powder?"

As he spoke, Richie Barton looked at the despondent Clint Wilson, who wished he could bang his head against the wall, and said with a laugh, "I heard that Titan Company brought in two Black Hawk Helicopters, 60 armed Humvees and armored personnel carriers taken out from the United State Military Base.

If I were you, I'd send all the stuff to Hu Lang. That's the only way you'd have a chance at the business down south.

Dude, haven't you realized yet that the moment the logistical passage from Basra to Mosul is open, we won't hold the bargaining power!"

Upon hearing this, Clint Wilson stood up, glared at the schadenfreudian colleagues, turned, and walked out of the meeting room, shutting the door heavily behind him...

Watching Clint Wilson leave, Xe's Thomas Lynch looked at Sebastian, the triple-pay general manager of Tian Peng who had just given him cold stares, and said with a smile, "Now that the fool has left, maybe we can talk it over...

The Turkish have deployed troops at the border and have made multiple deep incursions into Iraq to attack the Kurdish.

The Kurdish are contracting their forces now; they don't have the energy to focus on Mosul, a battle that can't be finished in four months.

Shouldn't we all get moving? By my estimates, the situation in Mosul could prompt Congress to pass another $500 million in secret military budgets.

That money's got to end up in someone's hands…"

CACI's Richie Barton shook his head and said, "Halliburton's people made a mess in Syria...

They provided ISIS with a batch of arms in hopes of trading for crucial intelligence. Not only did they hand over the goods without receiving the intelligence, but also couldn't get their people out.

Now Halliburton's folks, along with two CIA agents who assisted them, have been captured. Just yesterday, a video of one of the captives being dismembered was posted online.

People from the White House are trying to figure out how to rescue them, or give them a quick end…"

As he said this, Richie Barton laughed, "It's said that our black brother president is not looking too good!

Believe me, $500 million is a conservative estimate!"
