Back to 1995

Chapter 394 Target
"This is Jeffrey, the former senior manager of the technology department of Philip Morris Tobacco Company!"

Andy Lake pointed to Jeffrey Wegener and said to Song Yang.

Jeffrey Wegener and his wife all looked towards Song Yang. They had heard about Song Yang a long time ago. At this time, both of them looked at Song Yang with expectant eyes.

Now Philip Morris and the Tobacco Association are looking around for the whereabouts of Jeffrey Wegener. In order to avoid letting him reveal too much inside information about the tobacco industry in front of the media, and even testify in court, Those tobacco giants can do anything.

"Not only ICNC TV, but many more will thank you for everything you will announce on TV!"

After shaking hands with Jeffrey Wegener, Song Yang said, "Are you sure there is real data from the tobacco company's laboratory?"

In addition to Jeffrey Wegener's appearance on the news about nicotine in the tobacco industry on TV, the most important thing now is the experimental data in his hands.

Jeffrey Wegener nodded affirmatively, and then said, "Philip Morris Tobacco Company, as well as other big tobacco companies, have already obtained experimental data that nicotine in tobacco is harmful to the human body in many ways." The important effect of overdose is addictive and fatal!"

Hearing this, the staff of the Blackwater Company who came to the office unconsciously touched the cigarettes in their pockets.

For a hundred years, it has been the same almost all over the world. During the war, tobacco was a hard currency. It was also under high pressure and high intensity. Like spirits, it was a buffer against nervous tension. Prince and a group of Blackwater company personnel , I didn’t smoke these things in the past, and tobacco was regularly distributed as supplies every week, and there was even a warehouse, which was specially used to store all kinds of tobacco and spirits.

"Mr. Bruno," Jeffrey's wife said at this time, "If Jeffrey says this on TV, will we be able to get support from ICNC TV and you?"

Industry whistleblowers have never had a good end. Even Jeffrey Wegener’s revelations will be regarded as heroes by countless people, and they will also gain public support for the ongoing investigation of American tobacco companies. , But for Jeffrey and his family, after breaking the news, they will face revenge from the tobacco giants, even physical means are not ruled out!

Judiciary agencies in the American states are also looking for the tobacco company's feet, and this investigation has continued for half a century. As early as the 50s, the medical industry pointed out that tobacco can cause heart and blood clots to the human body. After that, in the past few decades, there have been large and small lawsuits against tobacco companies in America, and of course they all lost without exception.

If Jeffrey Wegener, a senior manager of a big tobacco giant company, comes forward to break the news, the shock will be huge, and it will even bring the investigation of the deadlocked tobacco company to a new stage !
Jeffrey's wife stared at Song Yang closely. Song Yang's next words were related to the safety of their family. If Jeffrey could live for another few decades, he would be able to publish a memoir in his later years. , to tell the outside world that what happened to him this year was the most important decision he had ever made in his life, but that would only work if he could survive until then.

Song Yang glanced at Jeffrey Wegener and his wife and their children, and nodded solemnly.

Looking up at Gallo and Prince, the two saw Song Yang's gaze, and immediately said to Jeffrey Wegener and his wife, "Blackwater will provide security for you, and you don't need to bear the cost. In the future, we will apply for protection from the Federation for you!"

Song Yang took several passports and other identity documents from Gallo, and finally a bank card, and put them in front of Jeffrey Wegener, "This is an overseas passport, you can choose Where you want to go, Blackwater will provide you with local identity and security. You can leave after recording at ICNC, and return to America when the time is right!
And, in the future, ICNC TV station will demand an apology and compensation from Philip Morris for Jeffrey! "

Jeffrey Wegener listened to Song Yang's words and the $500 million bank card. Jeffrey Wegener and his wife looked at each other and finally nodded.

After coming out of the office, Song Yang said to Gallo and Prince, "Be safe for Jeffrey's family, I don't want to hear bad news about them!"

Seeing Song Yang's serious expression, both Gallo and Prince nodded immediately, and Prince said, "We will send the best people to provide Jeffrey and the others with the highest level of security!"

Arriving at the meeting room of the office building, when Song Yang, Gallo, Prince and others entered, the managers and supervisors of various departments of the Blackwater Company had already arrived, and the first meeting of the Blackwater Company officially started.

"Currently, Blackwater has more than 3500 personnel, mainly including security personnel, bounty hunters, and overseas mercenaries. Blackwater's business has also expanded to personal security, company security, event security, overseas military orders, private Investment in prisons and weapons equipment!"

The general manager of Heishui Company talked about the situation of Heishui Company to Song Yang, the major shareholder, and a group of senior executives.

Although it is not early to enter the industry, with Song Yang's large investment, coupled with Prince's contacts and means, Blackwater Company has developed explosively, and its personnel have rapidly expanded like a snowball.

"Since the operation of Blackwater Company, the cumulative contracting orders have exceeded 7800 items, and the revenue has exceeded [-] million US dollars, but it is still in the loss stage..."

The manager in charge of finance got up and said that Blackwater Company seems to have a lot of connections. It seems very good that the revenue has grown so fast in such a short period of time since its establishment, but the increase in personnel is too fast. Soldiers have to pay, but they must be paid enough, after all, they are all exchanging their lives for money.

In addition to the two large training bases in North Carolina and New York, all kinds of equipment and public relations fees, if you want to get overseas orders, you have to rely on the American defense agency. Now Blackwater, Many directors of national defense were invited to serve as consultants.

Adding up these expenses, if it were not for the continuous investment of the North American Global Investment Foundation, I am afraid that it would have been beyond our means.

But these are all worthwhile. After the establishment of the Blackwater Company, there are bounty hunters and security personnel, and at least there are a lot fewer those who are running around.

Just like Jeffrey Wegener this time, if there is no security from Blackwater Company, then Song Yang probably would not agree to let ICNC TV station report the inside story of tobacco. Who knows what those people will do, but With Blackwater, at least there is no need to worry too much about security.

Song Yang listened to the reports of the heads of various departments of the Blackwater Company. From the book, the Blackwater Company is of course a rising star in the American security industry, and its development is very rapid, but this is based on burning money. Once the burning of money is stopped, Blackwater Company will not be able to survive in an instant.

In addition, Blackwater has not yet made a name for itself. No matter whether it is in America or overseas, the brand and popularity have not yet been established. For Blackwater, the next thing to do is to show its strength to the outside world.

Prince is still a little dissatisfied with the current development speed of Blackwater, "Song, I think Blackwater should be more proactive, win more orders, and make Blackwater profitable as soon as possible!"

Prince, who is the second generation himself, of course understands that if Blackwater cannot make profits for a long time, then even with Song Yang's support, Blackwater cannot become the leader of the global security industry and join the Blackwater. This kind of company enters the overseas mercenary department, basically exchanging their lives for money. Only with huge salaries can they recruit more capable personnel.

Hearing Prince's remarks about preparing for a big fight, Gallo couldn't help but said, "Blackwater's investment is already the largest company in the American security industry this year, and overseas military orders are too uncertain. Taller!"

Although they are both co-presidents, Gallo and Prince had a good relationship in the past, but Gallo was in charge of Blackwater's business in America, mainly security guards and bounty hunters. Responsible for the overseas business of Blackwater.

Whether Blackwater will develop into America in the future, or mainly operate overseas, this is where Blackwater has always been a bit tangled. Prince, who has a militant personality, of course wants to bring Blackwater to overseas battlefields to fight , while Gallo wants Blackwater to develop in America. Compared with overseas risks, there are many orders in America, and the risk is even lower.

"If it's just an ordinary security company, what's the point of establishing Blackwater?"

Prince frowned, and asked Gallo with a tough attitude. When he agreed to join Blackwater, he was planning to do a big job as a co-founder. It's not Prince's style to have a star or something as a bodyguard.

When Gallo and Prince were arguing, Song Yang, who had not spoken all the time, knocked on the table with his hand, and the meeting room fell silent for a while.

"The overseas market is what Blackwater needs, and the local security market in America, Blackwater can't give up!"

Song Yang ended the dispute between Gallo and Prince. Song Yang needed Blackwater to have enough security personnel in America to warn those who wanted to sneak into Blackwater. In overseas markets, if Blackwater could Being famous can improve the brand and popularity of Blackwater Company, and only being famous on the battlefield can make people feel threatened.

"Blackwater, you can invest or cooperate with other security companies in overseas markets!"

Seeing that Prince was about to speak, Song Yang said to him, "Now that the big security group is wearing protective clothing and camouflaging, the Blackwater Company can't stand in the open space and become a target!"

Song Yang can trust Prince's ability, but as for his character and handling methods, it's a bit uncertain...
