I, Citi Police Chief, pay money

"Do you have any good suggestions?" Chris decided to ask humbly.

"Because there are no big arms companies paying attention to us, it is best for Jagged Manufacturing to establish its own industrial park, and do it on a piece of land beside the Hudson River or by the sea, and it will not be a problem to be far away from New York City. "Chuntian said.

"However, this matter can be done later. The most urgent thing is to take money to take down those bankrupt companies and their factories, and then eat the military's weapons and ammunition supply contracts. Only in this way will we have the money to build a heavy industrial park."

"Understood." Chris nodded.

"I want to ask the last question, who is our competitor? In order to ensure that this business is foolproof, in addition to purchasing factory buildings and more production lines in advance, and expanding the weapon production capacity of Jagged Manufacture, I think we are more We need to identify the enemy in advance, and then take precautions to prevent them from attacking us, and we don't know how to fight back yet."

Chapter 149: Chapter 140 Four Illegal Bidding Activities Begin

In mid-February, the U.S. Army released news that it will purchase a batch of rifle equipment next month to refit an experimental brigade.

As soon as this news was released, no matter whether it was a large weapon company or a small and medium-sized weapon manufacturer, they were all very interested in it.

There is no need to say more about the former, as long as the arms sales are opened, they can use money to open the way, so that the US Army can use their company's weapons. After-sales and systematization can make a lot of money, so there is no need to say more about the latter. , Their purpose is the same as that of Chris, they are all aiming at the goal of personal connections and relationships, as well as the goal of making money.

It's just that the army's weapon bidding is a bit special this time. There is only one month of preparation time. Not to mention the urgency, the requirements are not high. The core point is to require "individual rifle weapons suitable for the current US Army equipment.".

Is this requirement lenient?

It's very loose, so loose that the arms companies that want to bid are a little confused, and people can't help but guess, is there something inside?

There must be some inside information, but few people have found out what is going on. Those who have inquired are not interested in this bidding, and those who are interested can't find out. There is a glimmer of hope for this bidding, and the bidding time is tight. , It means that all participating manufacturers have no time to develop new weapons to participate, and can only use their existing products to change and defect. Thinking about it this way, some small and medium-sized manufacturers seem to have some hope.

As a result, many arms manufacturers have started active and perfunctory bidding actions.

"Ah..." In a certain coffee shop in the affluent district of New York, a gentle-looking white man in a suit and leather shoes, wearing glasses, was sitting by the window, sighing into the coffee cup in his hand ,frown.

He sat on the seat for a long time, then drank the completely cold coffee in his hand, stood up to pay the bill, and then walked out. In the coffee shop, his movements were normal, but when he went out, he He looked around nervously, as if he was looking for something, and he seemed to be on guard against someone.

This tense, vigilant white elite like a thief is called John Cantius Garland. He is a typical white elite. He was born in Quebec, the United States, and later immigrated to New York. A large-scale weapons company can be regarded as a person with a little thin production. He is barely a capitalist, and he has a share in the street lamp.

The U.S. Army is bidding for weapons, and of course John is also interested, and also bids for several rifles developed by his company's designers.

However, something happened on John's side when his Garand Arms Company bid on the Army's tender.

First, the security captain of John's arms company's arsenal reported to him that in the late nights of the last few days, unidentified people were wandering around the arsenal, suspected of inspecting the factory's terrain and security posts.

Someone is stepping on the spot?Then you send someone over there to arrest them!

Ah, the security chief tried it, he sent a team of security guards with shotguns and pistols to grab people, and then...then there was a burst of gunfire, and they were all dead.

I tried it once, and the next time I saw someone haunting the factory, no security guard would dare to pass by, those gangsters were too fierce.

In addition to people haunting the factory, John also found that some unknown people began to appear around him. They followed John openly, followed him during the day, and squatted near his house at night, forcing John, who has always been a playboy, to stop Dare to go out, let alone drink in an underground tavern.

How to do?

It was John's first reaction to call the police. Although he had bodyguards by his side, the report from the factory security made John have no confidence in his bodyguards. Besides, he was in the industry and paid much more taxes than vampires in the financial industry. Reporting to the police will be taken seriously by the police.

The New York police who received the report really took it very seriously. They immediately dispatched more than 20 police officers to lurk near John's house. Then at night, when they found unidentified people haunting, they quietly passed by, intending to arrest him.

The operation was unsuccessful, and the unidentified person fled before the police surrounded him. He ran fast and agile, and knew the surrounding terrain well. After a few moves over the wall, he disappeared from the sight of the police.

The police drove away the watcher, but did not let the matter end. The next day, the New York police found the watcher again, and the police tried to arrest him again, and even used weapons, intending to shoot them dead if they could not catch them. As a result, more than a dozen policemen who passed by fired hundreds of bullets, but none of them hit the target. Instead, the pursuers counterattacked with pistols and wounded two policemen.

Now, John's confidence in the New York police is not so sufficient. The latter is really concerned about his safety. There are at least a dozen policemen guarding him around 24 hours a day. The key is that the police's ability cannot catch the watchers. , It seems that he can't stop him from escaping... Since the escape can't be stopped, when the watcher is determined to kill the target person, John feels to himself that he can't survive.

There is no way out, John can only spend money on the possibility of hiring some reliable security personnel to protect himself, and then he has this plan, and when he puts it into action, John finds out that not only the Pinkerton Detective Agency is too busy , Even the well-known security groups and mercenary teams near New York were hired away.

what happened?When John inquired, it turned out that there were so many people who encountered incidents during this period that the security business in the entire Northeastern industrial area of ​​the United States was very hot. There were such incidents in cities such as New York, Boston, Pittsburgh, Chicago, and Detroit. Moreover, the people and companies involved in the incident were all participants who had recently bid for the U.S. military weapons company.

John then inquired seriously. None of the well-known weapons companies backed by consortiums had encountered such a thing. The people who were followed and wandered by unknown persons were all medium-sized weapons company owners.

Got it, John got it, this is someone who is removing competitors from the arms bidding ahead of time!

John was thinking of quitting at that time, and planned to withdraw from the bidding, but then he thought, since someone was so fanatical, regardless of other bosses finding him to take revenge afterwards, and wanted to hire good people to trouble other weapons companies, I am afraid that this time the Army The bidding has an inside story that John himself does not know.

John thought carefully all night. For the military's connections, but also for the profit of the company and his own future, he gritted his teeth and decided to fight. He wanted to take a risk. Rifle to bid, he still has to continue to spend a lot of money to hire good hands to protect himself and his Garland arsenal.

Chapter 150: Chapter 140 Five Griffin is open

"Ah..." The red-haired girl with a good figure sat behind the company's front desk, yawning and stretching herself, feeling very comfortable.

It has been almost three or four months since Hari joined this Griffin defense company. At the beginning, she still worked hard, and imagined that she would be approached and harassed by her colleagues and superiors in the workplace. After all, It's hard to imagine that a young and beautiful girl like her didn't encounter such a thing when she was working.

Of course, if a young and wealthy boss comes to harass her, it's not like Hari can't "reluctantly" and "half push and half give in" to make do with it.

What is even more unimaginable is that when Hari joined the job, she had nothing to imagine. The same building, colleagues who belonged to the armed forces department, and the boss who hid in the basement and played with guns all ignored Hari's charm. , and her work is not busy, the most she does every day is to record the bullets and firearms consumed in the basement, deliver water and food to the staff of the Armed Forces Department in the basement, and receive visitors who come to inquire about business.

The last job was very rare. Harry did the math, and found that there were only a handful of visitors who came to Griffin Defense Company to inquire about business after he joined the company. After the festival, they changed to another one, which made Hali worry that she might lose this easy and high-paying job soon... The company has closed down, and she has no choice but to leave if she doesn't want to.

However, after working in this job until now, Harley realized that her thoughts might not be necessary, because the Griffin she worked for was said to be a defense company, but in fact, it was more like a private gun club with the most contacts. The people who come here are actually people who come here to play with guns and make guns. After Christmas, the new boss bought a lot of weapons and ammunition from nowhere, as well as equipment of unknown use, and he became more determined. Harry thought.

In addition, Griffin Company has never defaulted on the wages of any employees. Hari and other clerical employees have gradually settled down and stopped thinking about where to find new jobs.

Having nothing to do, after finishing playing, Hari took out a novel she bought yesterday from under the table, and began to read it with relish. As a result, she heard a knock of leather shoes outside the gate. The sound of footsteps on the smooth stony ground... a visitor.

Not wanting to lose the job, Hari quickly put away the book, raised her head, and showed a bright professional smile to the visitor.

"Hello, may I ask if you have anything to do with Griffin Defense Company?"

"Huh?" John looked at the girl at the front desk who was smiling sweetly, and then turned his head to look at the warm and comfortable decoration style in the house. For a moment, he wondered if he had come to the wrong place.

"Is this Griffin Defense Company?"

"Yes, our company is Griffin Defense Company." Hari smiled and answered the visitor's questions, explaining habitually. Based on her experience, the man in the suit in front of her might say a few words in front of her, and then turned her head away. Let's go... All the visitors she received before were like this, so now Hari didn't want to bother to keep the guests.

John frowned and looked at the front desk customer service in front of him, then lowered his head and thought about it... To be honest, he really wanted to turn his head and leave now, but John recalled what his friend said, and he immediately hesitated.

In New York, Griffin Defense Company is an unknown company that is not known by the rich. Compared with other security companies and mercenaries, it has neither done any earth-shattering business nor spent money on broadcasting. Instead of taking the initiative to attack, I went to find a middleman to solicit business.

Basically, no one has heard of it... In fact, when the Griffin Defense Company was founded, there were salesmen. All the staff were opened, leaving only the front desk, the accountant, and a dozen or so NPC employees doing miscellaneous work.

Such a defense company with no reputation and no business experience, naturally, no one will come to talk about business.

Even John, who was eager to find personnel to protect the factory and his own safety, would not have done so. However, when the well-known teams in New York were not available, John found a relationship and asked a reliable middleman, but he got an answer.

"If you are really eager to find some outlaws to protect your company, then I suggest you try to find Griffin Defense Company.

What, you asked how many armed personnel this company has, what is its business capability... I can't give you a definite answer to this. Since its establishment last year, the business company has never taken over a single business, let alone hired anyone. They, as for the reason why I recommend you to hire this company, I can only tell you that according to my information, the background behind this company is a bit special, how special, I can’t tell you, you are not qualified to get in touch with that circle , I told you, it will only hurt you. "

The middleman is very clear in the underground world of New York. He is known for his reliability and honesty. Although he asks for a lot of money, the service he provides has never been delayed or made mistakes. When it comes to light matters, I like to go to him. John has also done business with this reliable middleman several times. After all, he runs an arms company, and he will always encounter some things that cannot be resolved without violence.

With the middleman as an endorsement, John found it. Although he felt that this company was not reliable, John, who had nowhere to go, decided to give it a try.

"I have a business to talk to the person in charge of your company." John said.

Harry was stunned for a moment, then stood up a little excitedly, and walked out of the front desk.

"Come here, please wait in the reception room, and I will inform the boss right away."

Saying that, Harry brought John to the interior of Griffin Defense Company, and stopped in a reception room with soft sofas. Then, after Harry poured John a glass of boiling water, he stepped on the "Crackling" pace, trot all the way to the basement.

"There are customers, are you here for business?" Listening to the report from the girl at the front desk, Yan Wushuang put down the smoking gun in his hand in surprise, and then followed her to the stairs. Before leaving the underground gun range, he deliberately called a stop Other players who are playing Gunfight Rise.

"Stop for a while and tidy up your appearance. I'm going up to discuss business with clients. I may need your help later. Help me fill the space."

"No problem!" Lin Ruoyu, who had been here for a few days to prostitute weapons and venues, patted his chest and shouted to Yan Wushuang in the distance.

"Come down and call out if necessary, and I will take my brothers up to help you stand on the platform. Among other things, there must be soldiers who are tough and tough."

Chapter 151: Chapter 140 Six Business Achievement

John hadn't waited in Griffin's reception room for a few minutes before the door was pushed open, and a man wearing a gray uniform similar to an army combat uniform walked in with smoke all over his body.

It was indeed gunpowder smoke. John sniffed his nose in an extremely concealed manner to make sure that he was right. The man in front of him was wearing hot gunpowder smoke. He must have been shooting a few minutes before he met him, and he had shot at least a few minutes before him. It takes more than a thousand rounds of bullets to have this smell.

After meeting, John felt much more at ease before the two sides started talking... The bosses are always like this, obviously this company still has something reliable.

"Hi, I'm Winston Clay (Yan Wushuang), the owner of this Griffin defense company."

John stood up, stretched out his hands to hold the hands of the man in front of him who claimed to be Winston, and shook them.

"I'm John Cantius Garland, the boss of the Garland Arms Company. I'm here to see you this time because my company and I have been harassed by some criminals..."

As he said that, John, who was in a hurry, didn't have time to greet Yan Wushuang, so he directly introduced his predicament in detail, and after he finished speaking, he asked directly.

"Can Griffin Defense help?"

Yan Wushuang understands that John's subconscious meaning is to ask Griffin if he has the ability to take over his business?

He didn't start bragging right away, he is not a fool to be able to start an arms company, and to be a medium-sized boss, at least not for a generation. If Yan Wushuang starts to brag about the strength of Griffin Company, he will drive away customers, and John will reply. There was a ghost, so he just made a waiting gesture to John.

"Now I will introduce you to our company's armed security staff, please follow me." After saying that, Yan Wushuang stood up and led John to the basement.

Pushing open the large soundproof iron door leading to the basement, the two of them walked down. While still on the stairs, John heard a deafening gunshot, and when they got below, there was even more gunpowder smoke.

"Assemble, assemble, assemble!!!"

When the two went down to the basement, Yan Wushuang yelled loudly, the gunshots in the basement stopped quickly, and more than [-] strong men in various armed uniforms quickly assembled and lined up in two rows in front of Yan Wushuang.

During this process, John, who was standing next to Yan Wushuang, turned his head to observe the environment in the basement.The first thing that impressed John about this place was undoubtedly the pile of shell casings placed in the corner of the basement... It can really be called a mountain. The piles are three or four meters high, surrounded by some slats The ammunition box was surrounded and occupied the area of ​​a double bed, and there were various types of bullets in it, making John wonder if an infantry battalion had conducted marksmanship training here.

In addition to the bullet casings, the more than 20 gun racks placed against the wall in the basement are also a highlight. John took a quick look and found that there are weapons on the market in the United States, including pistols, shotguns, submachine guns, and automatic rifles. For example, the recently launched Sten submachine gun, Thompson submachine gun, and Springfield rifle are also placed on it. There are so many types of firearms that even John, a professional gun designer, can't recognize them.

In addition, the layout of the basement gun range of Griffin Defense Company is also a highlight. There are mobile targets and fixed targets. At this point, John doubts that the second floor of Griffin Defense Company is not an indoor simulated combat training ground. Because the things in the basement looked like they would only be owned by a private gun club.

Just as John was observing the environment and thinking, more than 20 big men had also assembled. In front of Yan Wushuang, Lin Ruoyu pretended to count his brothers and Griffin players like an army, and then turned to report to Yan Wushuang.

"Report to BOSS, the first and second team of Griffin Defense reported to you, there should be 24 people, but there are actually 24 people!"

"Relax..." Yan Wushuang said, he turned to look at John who was beside him.

"This is the defense operatives of the Griffin Defense Company's Armed Forces. Of course, this is not all of them. These are just the members of the first and second teams of the company. If Mr. Garland needs it, we can gather more armed men at your service."

"Very professional." John praised, although he felt that the posture of the group of people in front of him was slightly different from the style of the US Army soldiers he had seen, but there was no doubt that these people had received strict training Soldiers, they may be retired soldiers, but depending on the situation, their training has not fallen behind. They are all strictly disciplined and have good marksmanship... The thick calluses on the palms of the hands that are unique to guns can't be faked.

It is better to hire a group of soldiers to protect their property and personal safety than to hire a group of mercenaries and rogue gunmen.

Therefore, John is very satisfied with the elite armed personnel of Griffin Defense Company.

"Thank you. Next, they will demonstrate the strength of Griffin Defense Company, conduct indoor assault and defense, and important person protection exercises." Yan Wushuang tried his best to sell his company to John, who could not deny it and followed him Appreciated the offensive and defensive maneuvers of 24 players.

John guessed right. The second and third floors of the Griffin Building have been converted into indoor gun battle halls, where players can simulate indoor offensive and defensive gun battles with blank ammunition.

The exercise was very exciting. Needless to say, Lin Ruoyu and his group of brothers are veterans who have fought against the Wall Street Building. Veterans with outstanding skills have the basic skills of listening to voices and distinguishing positions. Therefore, in indoor offense and defense, they are the defensive side, and the twelve Griffin players are the offensive side.

Then in this exercise, the battle loss ratio of the two sides was twelve to three, with Griffin players twelve and Lin Ruoyu three, and the room considered to be an important area, Lin Ruoyu and his brothers guarded it tightly, without a single A griffin player can successfully step in.

Next is the protection of important people. Regarding this point, few players have studied it, but following the tactical routines shown in TV movies, the two groups of players pretended to learn to practice, and the effect was good on the surface. At least John I was so confused that I screamed and excited, obviously I believed in Griffin Defense Company's ability to protect important people.

After the two rounds of exercises, John no longer had any doubts about the strength of the little-known Griffin Defense Company. When faced with the business form presented by Yan Wushuang, he did not haggle too much about the price report above. With a swipe of a pen, he signed the contract, and hired fifty armed employees of Griffin Defense Company on the spot to protect his company's property and personal safety.

Chapter 152 : Chapter 140 Opening of the Seventh PVP Event

"Goodbye, Mr. John, the fifty armed employees of Griffin Defense Company will gather outside your factory on time at nine o'clock tomorrow morning." In front of the Griffin Building, Yan Wushuang smiled and shook hands with John in front of him. bid farewell.

"At that time, I will wait for your employees with 25 US dollars, and then sign a formal contract with you on the spot." John hinted secretly.

"Of course, there is no problem with this. Please rest assured, Mr. John." Yan Wushuang assured, and then, under the protection of his three bodyguards, John got into his car parked on the street and left the Griffin building area.

"Zuzuzu, this rich man is really generous, and he has won a big business of 25 US dollars in half a month." Standing behind Yan Wushuang, Lin Ruoyu, who was acting as a humanoid decoration, looked at the shadow of John's car in the distance. There were some envious and bitter voices.

"Don't be sour, you also have a share of the money." Yan Wushuang turned around, reached out and patted Lin Ruoyu's shoulder.

"50 dollars a person, do you and your brother want to come? If you come, I can give you [-] dollars alone, and you will be the commander of these [-] people. Now just wait for your word, do it, or Don't do it."

"Of course I did." Lin Ruoyu agreed without thinking too much.

How much is $25?Of course it's too much, so how much is three thousand dollars for a player?There are also many. To put it bluntly, so far, there are only a small number of players at the level of "[-] households". Most of the players have only solved their legal identities. Still very attractive.

In the current underground mercenary market in the United States, not to mention three thousand dollars, even three hundred dollars can hire desperadoes to do murder. John spent $25 to hire 50 people to protect the company's factory. Judging from the price, it is definitely on the expensive side, and he is willing to pay this money, not only that there are no powerful mercenary groups in New York who can take orders, but also because Yan Wushuang, Lin Ruoyu and others' exercises are well packaged, so that John believed that Griffin Defense Company was a powerful defense company.

Of course, this is not a deception, because Griffin Defense is indeed very powerful.

"I have a few questions." Lin Ruoyu said.

"There are only a dozen or so official members of the Griffin Defense Company. Counting me and my brother, there are only 24 members. Where are you going to gather 50 members?"

"It's not easy. With money, I can pull 50 people out of New York in minutes." Yan Wushuang disapproved.

"New York is the base camp for player activities. Recently, game companies have gradually opened up the internal test quota. Now there are thousands of internal test players. Isn't it a casual thing to gather 50 people?"

"That's true." Lin Ruoyu agreed.

"With money, mad dogs are everywhere, but there is one problem, you have to pay attention to Wushuang, according to the NPC's description, his Garland company encountered trouble because it participated in the US Army's bidding. In terms of the method of doing things, it should be done by the players, and there is currently a powerful player group in New York, that is, the Hydra. Therefore, this time we need to deal with the attack of the Hydra and fight PVP in positional warfare. This battle may It's not easy to fight."

He Feiyu reminded.
