From mercenary to king of war

The next day, eight o'clock in the morning.

Rum Quarter, Steve's private estate in the city of Moissan.

At this moment, Steve was meeting with some of his most capable men.

The Rum neighborhood is located in the westernmost part of Moissan City, more than 30 kilometers away from the war-torn area of ​​​​Mossan City.

Just last night, after finishing his exchange with General Bansai, Steve called the Third Bayonet Team to escort him all the way back here.

The arms deal with the Ivia government forces is only one aspect.

More importantly, Steve must take the assets he stored in Ivia away from Ivia.

Of course, the assets referred to here are the kind that are portable.

Such as gold, antiques, cash, etc.

The largest asset currently stored by Steve in Ivia is an independent villa in Bassem City, Ivia.

In the villa in Bassem City, Steve didn't actually leave much cash.

The most important thing there is the gold stored by Steve.

Three tons of gold!

Gold worth $6.9 million!

These are different from the so-called fixed assets. These are cash flows that can be used at any time. They are also the largest movable asset that Steve currently has.

Of course, in addition to these three tons of gold, there is no less than 100 million in cash and some precious antiques stored in the villa.

In order to transport these things away from Ivia smoothly, Steve must make sufficient preparations.

It is worth mentioning that the city of Bassem is also in the midst of war.

So in order to bring back those golds, Steve must form a team with super fighting ability.

Whether it is air or land transportation, the first thing Steve has to do is to put these things on the vehicle.

During this period, fighting may occur at any time.

Steve didn't dare to act rashly, so he still needed to prepare for two more days in Moissan City.

"Jonathan, how are you doing with the realization of the fixed assets you are operating? How long will it take for them to be completed?"

Steve took a puff of his cigar and asked with a gloomy expression.

Jonathan is the spokesperson for Steve's business in Ivia and is also the top talent responsible for helping Steve launder his money.

As the core of Steve's circle, Jonathan is now in charge of helping Steve transfer his fixed assets in Ivia.

"The war started too hastily, Mr. Steve.

This time we suffered a huge loss, and many assets fell into the internal war in Ivia before we had time to realize them.

No matter how long I am given, I will not be able to fully realize the fixed industries we have established in Ivia. "

Jonathan sighed.

These days, Jonathan can be said to be worried about these things.

But even so, Jonathan only realized less than 100 million US dollars.

Not counting the shrinkage of assets caused by the war, Steve's current apparent businesses can still realize less than 100 million in cash at most.

This 100 million still refers to the prerequisite for Jonathan to successfully sell off all remaining assets.

In other words, if there are any problems along the way, let alone 100 million, it may be difficult to realize even 10 million Jonathan.

This is the terrifying speed at which fixed assets shrink after a country's war breaks out!

"I can give you a week at most, Jonathan, you should sell all our fixed assets in Ivia as soon as possible.

From now on, we can only deploy these things in countries that are less prone to war. "

Steve said as he rubbed his temples.

In this way, the gold in Bassem City becomes particularly important.

If the gold cannot be taken away, Steve's assets will experience a huge plunge, which is something Steve cannot accept now.

"I'll try my best, Mr. Steve."

Jonathan smiled bitterly and nodded. Now he seemed to be unable to say anything other than trying his best.

"Angus, how are you doing with the manpower I asked you to prepare?"

After a moment of silence, Steve asked another person present.

Angus is Steve's man who specializes in dirty things, and he is also one of Steve's right-hand men.

Unlike Douglas, who is responsible for Steve's personal safety, Angus is more like the knife in Steve's hand.

Whoever Steve wants to attack, Angus will definitely give him the most fatal blow.

"I have gathered all the people I can. At the latest at five o'clock this afternoon, all my people will be here.

And in addition to our own manpower, I also hired combat teams from several defense companies.

Counting the bayonet defense company you found yourself, Mr. Steve, we can use a total of about two hundred people this time. "

Angus said very calmly.

"Which defense companies are there? What's their strength? What's the price?"

Steve asked casually.

“They are all well-known defense companies, and they all have a very good reputation in the industry.

I found a total of three different defense companies to avoid any mistakes.

The three companies are Zhanhuo Group, Greenland Group and Blackwater Group.

The War Group sent a combat team of twenty people. The employment period was tentatively one week, and the total cost was US$700,000.

Greenland Group sent a combat team of 16 people. The employment period was tentatively scheduled for one week, and the total cost was US$560,000.

Blackwater Group's costs are the most expensive, and the number of people they send is also the smallest among the three defense companies.

They dispatched a combat team of twelve people, with a tentative period of employment of one week and a total cost of one million US dollars. "

Angus told Steve the specific arrangements.

Regardless of the high price of hiring these companies, their strength is also spread by word of mouth in the industry.

And when it comes to price, Bayonet Defense's price is even higher than the price offered by the three major groups.

You must know that the salary of the Bayonet Team 3 is 60,000 US dollars a day, and this is still at a 50-50 split with the Bayonet Defense Headquarters.

In other words, Steve actually paid Bayonet Defense a price of 120,000 US dollars per day, and seven days was 840,000 US dollars!

In addition, Bayonet Team 3 is only an eight-man combat team, so the price is actually quite a premium.

Of course, the main reason why Bayonet Team 3 was able to get this premium was because Steve wanted to keep Su Hao.

Protection missions are different from rescue missions. Rescue missions are very urgent, so the price will naturally be higher than ordinary missions.

Protection missions are not available most of the time, so the price will be lower than rescue missions.

Under normal circumstances, small and medium-sized defense companies like Bayonet Defense receive protection missions with a maximum price of about US$30,000 a day.

But because of Su Hao's exaggerated performance, Steve was willing to hire the Bayonet Team 3 at a very good premium.

This is also the real reason why Gunner and Bottlecap took over the mission without any hesitation after learning the specific hiring price.

Generally speaking, as long as the price is right, the regular army can cut it into pieces directly for you!

Another point worth emphasizing is that the PMCs hired by Steve this time, including the Bayonet Team Three, are not ordinary professional mercenaries.

They are all considered elite combat teams in their respective companies, which is the core competitiveness of every defense company.

Therefore, the price of hiring them is much higher than the general market price.

"Okay! Let's have a meeting together when everyone is here tonight. We'll set off for Bassem City early tomorrow morning to avoid a long night."

Steve nodded.

After experiencing the two days of being besieged by the rebels, Steve didn't feel bad at all when he came to spend the money.

After all, nothing is more important than his own life!

Isn’t it just spending money? Steve has money, so just spend it!
