The Son of Finance of the Great Age

  Chapter 768 Visiting Blackwater

   Until Zhongshi left for a long time, Alberto Antonio was still thinking about his words.

   "What the **** did he mean by gold?"

  After thinking about it for a long time, Abelto Antonio still couldn't figure it out. As a last resort, he called John Paulson, one of his financial managers.

   "John, Mr. Zhong told me just now that gold is very good."

  He directly expressed the question in his heart, "What does this mean, can you explain it to me?"

   "Wait a minute..."

  John Paulson, who was sitting in the extended Lincoln, made a perfunctory sentence, then covered his phone, and asked Zhong Shi who was sitting beside him, "Sir, did you just tell Antonio about gold?"

"Um!"

  Zhong Shi nodded, "This guy is very good, let him follow us to make some money, it's a reward for his hospitality."

"okay, I get it!"

Paulson didn't ask why, let go of the microphone and said to Antonio who was waiting, "Since he revealed it to you, let me tell you that in the future, you can consider buying a little gold futures, remember to go long ,do you understand?"

   "Got it, got it!"

  Antonio, who received the confirmed information, nodded his head, and was even more overjoyed in his heart. He knew that his efforts had been rewarded.

  Through this news, Antonio later successfully earned hundreds of millions of dollars in profits in the gold futures market, which far exceeded his income from running the casino. So much so that later, he resolutely gave up his fading casino business and successfully cleared himself.

  By 2016, the operating conditions of the entire Atlantic casino had deteriorated to an extreme level, even approaching the verge of bankruptcy, but all of this had nothing to do with Antonio. It was precisely because he made friends with Zhong Shi inadvertently that his fate was completely changed.

   Two flowers bloom, each representing a branch.

  Let’s talk about Zhongshi, after leaving the casino, he got into an extended Lincoln that had been waiting at the door for a long time, and Paulson in the car was already waiting in it.

   "Mr. Zhong, what's our next itinerary?"

  Since Zhongshi kept everyone low-key, Paulson might be the most thorough implementation. Every time Zhong Shi came to the United States, Paulson would always arrange it. The relationship between the two was considered the best among all the people, so Paulson did not shy away from it, and directly asked Zhong Shi about the arrangement.

   "Do you know what happened when I stayed for so long just now?"

Zhong Shi smiled slightly, looked at Paulson, and when he saw the questioning expression on his face, he curled his lips and made a surprised expression, "Even I don't believe this, but it did happen Yes, it's interesting!"

"Uh…"

   It was the first time I saw Zhong Shi with such a rich expression, and Paulson's curiosity was immediately aroused, "Really? What happened to make you have such a reaction?"

   "Actually, it's nothing!"

  Zhong Shi didn't answer immediately, but instead changed the subject, "By the way, how much do you know about Blackwater Security Consulting Company?"

   "Black water?"

   Paulson frowned immediately, "Is that a mercenary company? But now they are not called Blackwater, because something happened, so now they changed their name to Academi Company."

   "This company is a security outsourcing company, a running dog of the Pentagon, at best a relatively big dog."

After thinking for a while, Paulson continued to explain to Zhong Shi, "Relying on their good relationship with the military and their private nature, they have taken on many security tasks that the US government is inconvenient to come forward to. Uh... you can do this I understand, usually those people or teams in movies who help the government do things, but once something happens, the government will ignore them and organize them into a group, this is the Blackwater Company!"

   "Why, do you have an idea about Blackwater?"

  After explaining for a long time, Paulson suddenly realized that Zhong Shi couldn’t ask such a question aimlessly, so he immediately asked, “Why, sir, are you planning to enter the security industry?”

   "Originally, I wasn't very interested in this aspect, but now I'm a little interested after hearing what you said!"

  Zhong Shi did not deny, "You know, I also have a security company under my name. If the two sides can cooperate in some aspects, it may help my career."

   "Shouldn't that be the reason?"

  Who is Paulson, how can he be so easily deceived, and after rolling his eyes, he exposed Zhong Shi's lie, "There must be other purposes!" He said firmly.

   "At that time, you will have to use your relationship in Washington, and maybe your relationship in Virginia!"

   Regarding Paulson's conjecture, Zhong Shi didn't deny it, but just replied lightly, and didn't want to say more.

  Washington is the political center of the United States, and the Pentagon is in Virginia. Now that Zhong Shi said so, Paulson understood and nodded emphatically.

  …

  North Carolina, located in the southeastern United States, is one of the first 13 states in the United States and currently ranks 28th among the 50 states in the United States.

  Moyock, the headquarters of the Blackwater Company. Here, Blackwater has a huge training ground covering more than 7,000 acres. This training ground is the largest private small arms and tactical training base in the United States, including three main areas of indoor, outdoor and urban simulation training. Because the training ground is so large, it spans two counties in North Carolina.

This is not only a training base for Blackwater mercenaries, but also provides weapons and tactical exercises for the US military, government law enforcement agencies, and security agencies. related training.

  Because the area was too large, the Blackwater Company responsible for the reception sent a "Little Bird" helicopter to let Zhong Shi and the other three fly directly through the air and visit their training base by the way.

   "What are they doing?"

Through the transparent hood, Zhong Shi and the others could see the rows of flat-roofed buildings on the ground, and at the same time, they could also see many people in camouflage walking around frequently. Tiger asked, "Is this training?"

"right!"

  Land Rover shouted loudly through the headset, "Looking at their situation, they seem to be training for urban street fighting."

The driver sitting in front heard the conversation between the two through the radio, and was not in a hurry to leave immediately. Instead, he hovered in this area for a long time, letting Zhong Shi, Lu Rover and others look at it again and again, and then vacated. go.

"what do you think?"

Because there was enough time, Land Rover took into account every move of the people who were training on the ground. After leaving, Zhong Shi asked, "You are an expert in this field. I don't understand the mystery of it."

"very professional!"

Although he only saw a rough idea, Land Rover still had to give a thumbs up, "Observing around the corner, using wooden sticks, chewing gum and mirrors, avoids the possibility of being shot in the head. You must know that even in that case Even a little exposure of the helmet is fatal. In addition, when the corner is seized, the shooting positions of the machine gunner and the captain are also in place, ensuring the rotation of the shooters when the firepower of one's own side is suppressed."

   "But these may not be suitable for us!"

After talking about his experience for a while, Lu Rover suddenly realized that this is not the time to popularize military knowledge, and immediately changed the subject, "For us, these businesses are completely unnecessary. Heishui once announced that he would no longer actively seek private security services. business, so the gap left is more suitable for us."

   "What about intelligence?"

  Zhong Shi couldn't help asking again, "How do we compare with them in this regard?"

   "There is absolutely no comparable possibility!"

Land Rover said with emotion, "They are very subdivided in terms of business, including security, animals, ocean, airborne, transportation and other aspects. All of this is inseparable from the support of the intelligence behind it, otherwise you think you can rely on a few A brave and foolhardy mercenary who wants to show off his power all over the world? It can be said that among private armed companies, their intelligence system is the most complete and advanced, even more developed and advanced than the intelligence agencies of some small countries. .”

   "About this point, you absolutely don't have to doubt it!" After saying this, Lu Rover added another sentence.

   "What if it is to inquire about a certain powerful family?"

Zhong Shi rubbed his chin for a while, then continued to ask, "A certain not-so-big political family, I suspect that there is something wrong with this family. Of course it is not the person in power, but his relatives. If we can find out about their family The financial situation is even better. How about it, do you think Blackwater can take on this task?"

"This…"

  Land Rover gradually sensed the taste, and hesitated for a while before hesitating, "Zhong Sheng, wouldn't it be better to go to the CIA for this kind of thing? From a professional level, they are much more professional than the people in Heishui."

   "But this is aimed at the dignitaries of a certain country, and the CIA will not intervene, because it will destroy the relationship between them!"

Zhong Shi sighed, and said rather helplessly, "Besides, do you think I can manipulate the CIA? Although we have some kind of relationship with the US government now, it doesn't mean that their government departments will do things for us. "

   "Is that so..."

  After listening to Zhong Shi's analysis, Lu Rover also understood. He scratched his head and sighed, "I'm not very clear about this aspect. I hope they can complete this task smoothly!"

  The speed of the helicopter was very fast, and it didn't take long to come to a blank square, where the headquarters building of the Blackwater Security Consulting Company was located. It is said to be a building, but it is actually just a three-story building.

   This square is very large, enough to accommodate tens of thousands of people by visual inspection. Except for the fixed area dedicated to helicopter take-off and landing, vehicles can be seen everywhere in other areas. The difference from the outside is that the vehicles driving here are either Humvees or armored vehicles, all of which are military vehicles.

   Disembarking from the helicopter, Zhongshi, Land Rover and Paulson, accompanied by an usher in military uniform, walked slowly towards the building while carefully avoiding passing vehicles. The speed of the vehicles here is very fast, and there is a danger of being hit if you are not careful, so the few of them should be extra careful.

   But even with great care, accidents still happened.

  A dark armored personnel carrier with hideous edges and huge tires rushed towards the four of them in a daze. Except for the tires, this car has no smooth curves anywhere on the whole body. The front part is composed of dozens of triangular armors, and even some of the windows are triangular. The rear part is a huge trapezoidal space, and the front The sharp and ferocious fronts combine to form a monster.

   This troop carrier was very fast, and rushed directly towards Zhong Shi and the others. In a panic, Zhong Shi and the others hurriedly evaded to the side. No one would have thought that it also changed its direction and was still rushing towards them. At the moment when Kankan collided, there was a sudden sound of brakes, followed by the smell of burnt tires.

   "Gentlemen, welcome to Blackwater Company!"

  The car door opened, and a middle-aged man wearing a beret pulled the car door, suspended in the air, looking down at Zhong Shi and the others from a height, with a big cigar in his mouth, and said to everyone in a rough voice.

   Thanks to book friend Zhou Shao, spring comes early, flowers bloom early, and DingWANG voted for the monthly ticket! Thanks to the book friend Electromagnetist for the reward!
