Rebirth 2006, creating a super consortium

"It's okay, I have a backup plan!"

"I will register a PMC company in an African country, and then acquire all the relevant certificates in all countries that allow PMC registration through acquisitions, so that we can become a global PMC company."

"But this is just the basics. Personnel, weapons and equipment, and intelligence are the core, and all of these require your support."

"In terms of personnel, you will need to help coordinate a group of retired non-commissioned officers and elite soldiers."

"As for weapons and equipment, you need to help get a special supply license. If you want to purchase them, you have to pay the price."

"As for intelligence, it would be best if you are willing to help. If not, you can provide us with some resources and we can slowly build our own intelligence network."

"What do you think of this backup plan, Minister Wang?"

After listening to the backup plan, Wang Jing looked at An Xin with a strange expression and said, "Not so good! You need our help for everything, so what can we get in return?"

An Xin pulled the corner of her mouth and replied meaningfully: "There are some things you can't do openly, but PMC can!"

"As long as we can reach a cooperation agreement, this PMC company can set up a squadron of 200 people just for you."

"We will pay all the benefits of this squadron as usual, but we will not interfere in any management of this squadron!"

"To put it bluntly, this is a squadron that does not belong to the company, but only to you."

Wang Jing frowned when he heard this, then lowered his head and fell into deep thought.

An Xin was not in a hurry when she saw this, because this kind of thing could not be determined in a short time.

The current talks between the two sides are only aimed at coming up with a preliminary plan that is acceptable to everyone.

As for whether the cooperation can be achieved, Wang Jing actually does not have the final say. In the end, it still has to be approved by the top leadership before it can be implemented.

Then can An Xin choose to work alone without Wang Jing and the others?

Yes, you can.

However, if you slowly explore the relevant channels in this way, it will take a long time, at least three years.

After a long while, Wang Jing raised his head, looked at An Xin and said slowly: "There are a lot of soldiers retiring every year, so it is not difficult to deal with security personnel and intelligence personnel."

"But weapons and equipment are a bit difficult to handle. There is no precedent in China for providing weapons and equipment sales business to private enterprises. If a precedent is set, it may cause great controversy."

This problem was not difficult for An Xin, who immediately provided a solution: "I didn't ask you to sell weapons and equipment directly to private enterprises. You can get them from other countries first!"

"I believe that countries like Pakistan and Serbia are happy to be the middlemen, and I don't mind spending a little more money."

Wang Jing nodded in sudden realization and said, "That's true. If you hadn't mentioned it, I would have forgotten about this channel."

Seeing this, An Xin immediately struck while the iron was hot and asked, "So is the PMC deal a success?"

Wang Jing shook his head and said, "How is that possible? There are still a lot of problems!"

"Let's not talk about anything else, just say how much it costs to maintain a PMC company every year, have you ever thought about it?"

He is at ease and happy. He lacks everything except money!

"With an initial investment of $5 million and a basic investment of $3 million per year thereafter, can it support a PMC company with 2000 employees?"

"How many?"

Wang Jing was stunned!

An Xin raised a finger towards Wang Jing and repeated calmly, "US$5 million for the first batch, and US$3 million every year thereafter!"

Wang Jingzhen was shocked by An Xin's generosity and said excitedly: "The first investment of 5 million US dollars is understandable, but if we invest 3 million US dollars every year in the future, let alone 2000 people, we can afford to support 5000 people!"

An Xin shook her head and said, "No, no, no, it's better to have nothing than to have something of inferior quality. I need a PMC company that is full of elites, not a cannon fodder company."

After quickly filtering through his mind, Wang Jing said a little confusedly: "I really can't imagine what it means to spend $3 million a year to support 2000 people. I just think it's too extravagant!"

“$3 million isn’t a lot!”

"Expenditures for venues, weapons and equipment, logistics, intelligence network maintenance, etc., are estimated to cost more than $1 million per year."

"As for labor expenses, the basic salary, insurance, logistics services, mission wages and other expenses of combatants add up to an estimated annual expenditure of about US$45000 per person, which is US$2000 million for 9000 people."

"This is just the combat personnel. The management, intelligence personnel, logistics personnel, etc. will cost about 40 to 50 million US dollars in total!"

"Look, if you calculate it this way, $3 million is not a lot. It might not even be enough!"

Wang Jing was stunned: "What the hell? An estimated expenditure of $45000 per combatant per year?"

"Well, the base salary is $24000 per year, and the remaining $21000 is for expenses such as insurance, logistics, and mission salaries."

After a long silence, Wang Jing said faintly: "What do you think of me? I have 19 years of experience in the intelligence industry, so I am definitely experienced!"

An Xin couldn't hold it in any longer: "Don't be ridiculous, you are the deputy minister at least, you shouldn't be that serious."

Upon hearing this, Wang Jing complained, "Deputy Minister? What's the use of a deputy minister? I only earn 50,000 to 60,000 RMB a year, which is not even as much as your soldiers!"

An Xin didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Minister Wang, there is a huge difference between serving the country and working for a private person."

"How about you become the CEO of this PMC company? I'll offer you an annual salary of $30. What do you think?"

Wang Jing shook his head and said, "Forget it. If I wanted to make money, I would have changed my career long ago."

"But I can introduce you to someone who is quite suitable for PMC."

"Oh?"

An Xin immediately became interested: "Tell me about it!"

"I am 37 years old this year. I joined the army at the age of 17. After I made meritorious service, I was recommended to the military academy and studied special command. After graduation, I was assigned to a reconnaissance company. Then I was promoted to deputy captain of a special brigade. Until the end of last year, I made some mistakes and was ordered to retire."

An Xin was a little confused: "Ah? Gone?"

"So what else do you want to know?"

"Like what are his strengths and weaknesses, like what mistakes he made?"

"In addition to being proficient in all special operations skills, he is also a commander with command and management capabilities."

"The downside is that I'm too sentimental."

"As for what mistakes were made..."

Wang Jing paused for a moment before continuing, "He violated relevant regulations while performing a mission. The mission was completed, but he was also ordered to take off his military uniform."

An Xin didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "I don't want to know the content of the mission, I just want to know what regulations he violated to be ordered to take off his military uniform."

Wang Jing was a little hesitant, and after a while he finally spoke two words:

"Kill the prisoners!"

"Kill the prisoners?!"

Anxin was a little surprised.

Wang Jing nodded and said, "Yes, his two apprentices were ambushed and killed during a mission. Then when he took over the mission, he directly ordered the shooting of fourteen enemies who raised the white flag to surrender."

"Oh, is that so? Doesn't that just prove that he values ​​friendship and loyalty?"

Wang Jing shook his head and said, "The country has its own laws, the army has its own regulations. Making a mistake is a mistake. Just taking off the military uniform is already a pardon for him!"

An Xin said nonchalantly: "There are not so many rules in the PMC industry!"

Wang Jing agreed: "Indeed, so I said he is suitable for PMC."

"That's right!"

An Xin nodded first, then assured: "Minister Wang, as long as we can reach a cooperation, we can let him come over to try whether he can be qualified for the position of CEO."

"You, don't release the eagle until you see the rabbit!"

An Xin was happy: "This is nonsense. If PMC can't get off the ground, it's useless for him to come here."

"Oh?"

Wang Jing looked at An Xin with a half-smile and said, "Without us, you won't start PMC?"

Damn, this old fox saw through me!

"Cough cough..."

An Xin coughed a few times to hide her embarrassment, and then said cheerfully: "With you, this PMC will be even better!"

Wang Jing smiled and shook his head, but suddenly he seemed to have thought of something, and then he asked An Xin: "Have you made any plans for this PMC company?"

"Of course!"

An Xin then took out a document from the file bag and handed it to Wang Jing.

Wang Jing took the file and saw the name of the file at a glance. He then looked up at An Xin and said, "Red shield?"

"Yes, the Chinese name is Red Shield, abbreviated as Red Shield, and the English name is Red Shield!"
