I haven't been a boss for many years

"I promise to make money together with you, and I will deliver abalone and scallops in boxes every year!"

Silver paper laughed a little: "Brother Hao, it is very troublesome to keep the spiritual throne every year. It is just right to leave an urn for us..."

late at night.

Mukan Town, cottage.

The moon is sparse, and a fence is covered under the dug earth pits one by one, forming a large cage, and the cage is only about eight square meters.

Eating, drinking, and messing around are all handled outside the prison, except that people will be hanged when interrogation is required.

A dozen ragged, skinny, and bruised soldiers from northern Burma were hung below the forest, and flies that smelled of blood were already circling in groups.

Staring at the captive's wound, he ate slowly.

A thousand or less captives were detained in the cave behind the cottage, and there were no armed forces guarding them during the 24th day. Machine guns and explosives were used to suppress riots at all times.

In the enemy's sphere of influence, it is a big deal to take care of the small number of captives. If there is no delivery of supplies to the nearest town during the negotiation process, the supply of supplies to the captives will be ensured.

1000 two hundred captives, both of them survived!

That is an extremely cruel reality.

Therefore, the killing of captives in ancient wars was rare, even a norm. Fortunately, more than 1000 captives were not worth negotiating. Coupled with the material delivery of the Independent Army, [-] or [-] people became a kind of "commodity."

Of course, being able to become a commodity at that time was a kind of luck. To a certain extent, it had nothing to do with the strategic goals of the defense camp. Even so, there were no more than [-] people who died in just one week. fester……

The captives hanging in the woods were because they participated in and instigated escape during the detention period.

At that time, one military leather boot stepped under a wooden fence, and then another foot stepped down, and a pair of wide-open eyes looked down at the prison.

A young man with muddy body, messy hair, and cloudy eyes didn't realize it. He hurriedly raised his head and saw the woman standing under Mulan.

The military uniform under the young man's body, and a general star can be vaguely seen under his shoulder. Unfortunately, the few days of prison life did not cover up the general star.

That star is as bright as ever.

I have lost my anger, swallowed my throat, raised my head and opened my mouth downward: "Ah..."

Zhang Guobin raised a gun and said aloud: "In my previous life, remember who helped him and who saved him. Don't do it again."

"Change the habits of ingratitude and treachery, goodbye!"

"boom!"

Outside the night.

A shot went off.

The brothers on guard and patrol stood at attention, and seven followers stood beside them. Pan Qinqin casually threw the gun to one of them, and asked aloud, "Who taught me to open my mouth?"

"In the past, anyone was allowed to do that kind of thing again. It is humiliating to kill a soldier. Those who violate the order will be dealt with by military law!"

"Yes!"

"Sir!"

No one stood to attention and saluted.

It is estimated that during that time, Mindan received intensive care outside the cottage, and opened his mouth to beg for food when he was hungry. Damn, he formed a conditioned reflex.

No wonder,

The coquettish outside the dungeon, I thought whose taste it was, but I thought it belonged to Xiaojia!

On the seventh day, early in the morning, the people of the Independence Army finished arranging for the return of the captives, and more than a thousand captives were transported for eight days.

Zhang Guobin led the brothers of the guard battalion to end the march, retreated into the Independence Army garrison in Pagan Town, and took over the weapons and equipment and military supplies outside the garrison.

At the same time, it took over the defense lines of the entire Pagan Town and Mukan Town.

……

a week ago.

ATV News broadcast the news of the end of the conflict in northern Myanmar, claiming that the Independence Army has regained its defense line and that the occupied jade field will supply goods according to the previous contract.

The Millennium Jewelry flagship store posted an announcement that it will gradually resume the off-shelf jadeite, ensuring that there is no sufficient supply of jadeite at all prices.

The spot jadeite market was trending immediately, and the stock price of New World Development skyrocketed. When spot buyers felt that they were at a low point, the capital market saw the lower value of jewelry-grade jadeite and a smaller market.

On the first trading day, New World Development's stock fell by [-] cents, and fell by [-]%, reaching the smallest increase of the year.

Zhang Guobin was sitting under a chair in the resident office building, with a cup of coffee behind the desk, holding up the phone and shouting, "Worry, Brother Bin."

"You can move the contract of the mining area in Pagan Town successively, and the time limit."

Li Chenghao instructed: "His legitimacy is given by the Independent Army. Denying the mining contract signed by the Mindan Ministry is the best for the brothers in the long run."

"You know."

"According to the latest information, some of those mines are in the hands of some rich people in Southeast Asia, and some are contracted by local bureaucrats in northern Myanmar. Brother Laibing went out to shake hands and chat with people. Can you be polite?"

Zhang Guobin said: "These local bureaucrats are local snakes. They offended us to the death. You will have a hard time. You can sit in the office of the Independence Army."

"Pay attention to face!"

Pan Qinqin taught her a lesson: "It's to show face. Now that he is a low-level officer, it's a business relationship."

"Little guy."

"You graduated from Tiantai University!"

Pan Qinqin groaned and complained, "Do you know the words of a cultural person?"

"In addition, although you can move the gates of Pagan Town, you have to swallow the seven gates and four mining areas in Mukan Town. The Democratic Army conspired, all the contracts were annulled, and the mining area was handed over to the Independent Army for mining.”

"That's the banknotes that the Independent Army gave you as compensation. According to the agreement, one-eighth will be allocated to Xiao Quanbiao."

Li Chenghao nodded: "Xiaoquanbiao really contributes money and effort, there is a problem with sharing my share."

Pan Qinqin said: "On the other hand, Changkou, which governs the two towns, is in the same situation as in the future. It only has to govern as few as [-] to [-] laborers, and it also needs to guard against other armed forces."

"What New Democratic Army, Shan State Army, Independence Army..."

Li Chenghao said sensitively: "What does he mean?"

"Under the establishment, your security battalion no longer has a regiment-level designation. It is called the Independent Army Guard Corps. It can be expanded to at least 7000 people. In reality, you are already the Northern Myanmar Defense Army, and you can expand to several 10 people."

Zhang Guobin crossed his legs and said domineeringly: "Although you still support a few hundred thousand people now, you feel that the expansion to 10 people is more than enough."

"The fewer people we have, the less territory we can conquer, the less madness we can drive, and we can occupy the entire Wulu River. The only gem-grade emerald producing area in the world is under your control."

"In the future, if you mine as much jadeite as possible, there will be only so much jadeite in the world. The grade of material in other regions will be the same, so it will be defined as inferior or imitation goods."

That is the operation of the monopoly market. The premise is that absolute violence is required, and the monopoly that can be obtained by violence will be broken by smaller violence.

Millennium Jewelry does have a weaker sales force than the Independent Army, but instead of the Independent Army's monopoly on the source of emeralds, it is challenging the international order.

Pan Qinqin sighed: "Ahao, you miss him, go back to Xiangjiang early."

"You want to expand the army."

"Little guy!"

Zhang Guobin also directly stated his purpose: "Now the mine has enough manpower, we should arrange manpower as soon as possible, transport less guys, and keep the treasure mountain we have."

"Little guy!"

"You want people, the fewer people the better!"

Pan Qinqin murmured, "It's fine for him to expand the army!"

"He is just the general manager of a security company. Taking a step back, he is also the vice president of Yihai Group. His other identities are all recognized by Jingli."

"It's just... it's definitely okay for the Canadians in northern Myanmar. That level involves too much. You should make a phone call and communicate first."

"Wait for your news."

Chapter 630

Li Chenghao hung up the phone, his tone was not angry, and he muttered and complained: "Brother Bin looks down on me?"

"I feel that I am uneducated, and I need to find someone to communicate with when expanding thousands of people."

He secretly made up his mind: "We must continue to make up lessons when we return to China!"

"A military instructor please."

The history teacher couldn't satisfy him anymore.

Zhang Guobin turned to call Liu Wenyan, and said aloud: "Liu Ban, there is something that needs to be communicated. Shall we have tea at the Peninsula Hotel?"

Liu Wenyan was reviewing the project in the office, and upon hearing the words, he agreed, "I'll see you at the cafe at the hotel at three o'clock in the afternoon."

"OK!"

Zhang Guobin put down the phone.

An overseas security company has a reasonable number of more than [-] people. They are mainly responsible for the security of the company's projects and arrange some tanks and weapons.

Limited by the number of personnel, no amount of fuss can affect the overall situation. For example, this operation is actually a regional conflict between one or two regiments.

Even the situation of the Independence Army has little impact, at most some internal arrangements have been changed, but a security company has expanded to 5000 people, equipped with sufficient firepower equipment.

It is enough to affect the situation of the entire Kachin State, and Kachin State is located on the China-Myanmar border, the impact will be extremely far-reaching.

Of course, Zhang Guobin can instruct the security team to expand wantonly and carry out the private army route to the end, but raising the army is the most costly project.

The big bosses would rather pay taxes than raise soldiers, mainly because of the imbalance between expenditure and income under the international situation.

In short, paying taxes can share the cost, allowing lower-level subjects to bear the responsibility, and small capital can also wander around the world looking for dangerous areas to avoid risks.

Even the capital in the border areas has a lot of private soldiers and horses. It is more expensive to rely on security companies, and there is no international market for security companies.

The jade mine developed by Liu Wenyan in northern Myanmar was reasonable to support a thousand people. First, it could solve the employment problem of the brothers at that time. Seventh, the income of the jade mine was enough to cover expenses. Eighth, the profit was considerable.

However, the expenses of professional soldiers, the fewer the number of people, the slower the cost will rise, because the front supply, command level, and firepower upgrades all increase geometrically.

It is not profitable to swallow all the mining areas of Pagan and Mukan in one go, but in the case of continuing the contract of the mining area of ​​​​Pagan Town and actually adding only the mining area of ​​Mukan Town, the security company has expanded to a regiment of troops.

It is equivalent to throwing away all the income in northern Myanmar. It is an increase in terms of armed strength, but it is a loss in terms of company income, and it is difficult to arouse the fear of irrelevant departments and cause resistance to other businesses.

As a businessman, you must have no steelyard.

The businessman was born and bred in the Chinese region. He cared little about the ethnic groups and the political situation in northern Myanmar, and only wanted to make money.

The expansion of the security company needs to be reported.

Peninsula Hotel.

Zhang Guobin, dressed in a suit and leather shoes, walked in a hurry, came to the teahouse and sat down by the window, leaned over and said, "Mr. Zhang."

Xiang Chenglan held a cigar in his left hand, half leaned on the single sofa, threw out a document with his right hand and said, "Mr. Liu, have you paid attention to the affairs in northern Myanmar recently?"

Zhang Guobin picked up the document, flipped through it, and said with a smile: "You are in charge of affairs in northern Myanmar, so you have nothing to pay attention to?"

"It's true that the price of emeralds has risen dramatically. Next time he will give you two stones from the office to press the fish tank. When no Hong Kong businessman comes to visit, he will pay 200 million Hong Kong dollars. He said it was funny."

I looked up at the file.

Liu Wenyan laughed: "These two broken stones are worth 200 million? It also depends on who is outside the fish tank. Let me add a zero last time."

"Add zero, sell it to him?" Zhang Guobin narrowed his eyes and said jokingly: "Comrade Ji Wei still has to invite you to drink tea?"

Liu Wenyan smoked a cigar and talked eloquently: "Actually, the value of spot jadeite is based on market prices, but jadeite futures are priced out of the barrel of a gun."

"Millennium Group's resumption of supply is one yardstick and another yardstick. Millennium Group will expand the contract agreement of the small mine in northern Myanmar. Correspondingly, a security company that Millennium Group cooperates with in northern Myanmar is likely to expand its headcount. "

"That number!" I slapped openly.

Xiang Chenglan asked concerned: "700 people?"

"Seven thousand!"

When Liu Wenyan threw out a number, Zhang Guobin was startled, and said in astonishment: "7000 people?"

"Correct!"

Xiang Chenglan nodded heavily.

Zhang Guobin took a deep breath, turned over a page with his fingers, and asked, "If you remember correctly, the Millennium Jewelry Cooperative Enterprise is Hidden Dragon International Security Company."

"Looking at the shareholding structure of those two companies, they are actually He Yihai's superiors..."

Xiang Chenglan was noncommittal: "I invested a little money at the beginning, and it all depends on the brothers' hard work."
