Chapter 63 Zhu Bin's Real Purpose (2)
First update!
"Is this appropriate?" This question arises in almost all shareholders' minds involuntarily.
No matter what era or country, the most taboo thing for the government is privately owned troops, especially private soldiers that are too large in scale and powerful in combat effectiveness. They are the source of chaos and a threat to the stability of rule!
In particular, several representatives from China were even more surprised. At the same time, they also felt deep worries. When they opened the thick so-called catalog and glanced at the chapters about security and defense companies, they couldn't help but raise their eyebrows.
Twisted into a knot that cannot be opened!
Zhu Bin had long expected such a reaction.
He generally knew the details of the people who had joined as shareholders. These foreign people came from ordinary families and backgrounds. They only went to the Far East to take risks and succeed in gold mining, and then they gained the support of powerful forces in the country, and then they gradually embarked on the road to success.
Today's status. Therefore, they basically do not have the experience and thinking to hide various powers like a powerful family or consortium.
These people in the country have basically experienced several political ups and downs. They all know how to hide their capabilities, bide their time, and try to avoid dangerous situations. Therefore, they mostly stand behind and spend money and energy to support the warlords they like.
and political power, would rather be exploited than come to the front desk to call the shots. The roots are still in ideology and culture - the so-called son of a rich man cannot sit down in the hall, the risk is too great!
However, in Zhu Bin's view, this kind of thing cannot be avoided or avoided! No matter in what era, after wealth has been accumulated to a certain level, if you don't want to protect yourself and have your own armed force, sooner or later you will have to protect yourself.
Divided and devoured completely!
Not to mention his own time, the most powerful one in the entire Interstellar Federation was the Business Alliance. This organization was not only the largest consortium of wealthy consortiums in the Federation, but also the largest arms supplier and supporter of interstellar exploration. The size of their private fleet might be
They are not as powerful as the government, but their combat effectiveness is definitely the highest. Not to mention that the weapons and equipment they supply to the government are always one generation behind what they use. They are the ones in charge of the entire federation!
In this era, while chatting with Ma Yier and other well-informed old guys, Zhu Bin also learned that emerging conglomerates such as Morgan, Rockefeller, and DuPont not only had holdings or directly affiliated arms companies, but also secretly bodyguards.
They are also very powerful. If you look at their fortune history, you will know that DuPont directly blew up the factories of its competitors, and Rockefeller directly demolished other people's oil fields and burned other people's refineries. Which one has the clean hands?
Competition in the capital world has always been pure and simple. If they don’t do this, someone will do it to them!
Without saying anything else, Zhu Bin put on a slide of a global map, drew circles with a pointer on the above areas, and explained: "Most of you are involved in shipping, and you should know that in the South China Sea, Malacca, the Caribbean, the North Sea, and the Mediterranean
, Hawaii, the Gulf of Aden and even Bangladesh are infested with pirates everywhere, and countless cargo ships and oil tankers are robbed by them every year. In order to ensure its shipping lines all over the world, the British Empire has almost evened out their financial expenditures on escort ships distributed all over the world.
The income gained.”
This is indeed true. Almost everyone has suffered such losses. Fortunately, most of the goods are transported by other freighters. With some compensation, the losses are not so tragic. However, ship owners and insurance companies often go bankrupt. Therefore, those who engage in shipping
They all hate them deeply, but there is nothing they can do about it.
Zhu Bin added: "Let's look at China again. Today's China can be said to be the most complex and chaotic place in the world. There are warlords all over the provinces, and they are killing endless rebels, bandits, kidnappers, bandits, and pirates.
There are countless caravans and gangsters! Coupled with the Soviet Russia in the northwest and Japan in the northeast, the forces are extremely mixed. In their eyes, our shareholders and franchisees are all big fat pieces. As long as there is a chance,
Who wouldn’t want to catch him and take a bite out of him?”
This is true, especially the domestic bosses who are almost all suffering from it. No one dares to mess with people like Du Yuesheng and Yu Qiaqing in Shanghai, but outside this territory, there are many people who dare to touch them, and they want money rather than their lives.
There are as many people as crucian carp crossing the river. The most terrible thing is that once something goes wrong, if you want to ask the local government, army or police for help, you will have to bleed again!
Therefore, the Chinese bosses present shook their heads and sighed, and the foreign devils also had expressions of understanding on their faces and felt sad in their hearts.
"The most critical issue is that we will definitely run into huge trouble in the future!" Zhu Bin's tone suddenly became heavy, causing everyone to look up and stare, "Once this unprecedented enterprise of ours is established, it will definitely take away many of the original shipping companies.
, express delivery and even machinery, automobiles and shipbuilding companies do a lot of business! They can’t compete with us in business competition, and it is almost certain that they will resort to evil tricks! Think about it, how many incidents of kidnapping, extortion, robbery and destruction will happen at that time? We just rely on the laws of various countries.
Police, can you handle it?"
"Oh! What a big trouble!"
The shareholders are all licking their teeth, their foreheads are aching! In business matters, if you bite more, I will eat less. The problem is that no one wants to give up! A bunch of you have the upper hand and enjoy the drink.
It's spicy, but it forces others to eat bran-thick vegetables and drink porridge. It's strange that they don't hurry up with you! How many people are willing to engage in serious business competition with you these days?
It is not even ruled out that many large consortiums and powerful forces that cannot join in a short period of time, and do not want to pay expensive patent royalties and licensing fees, simply use force to kill these people!
"So, we must have security and defense forces!" Zhu Bin's categorical conclusion shattered everyone's concerns. They were not pedantic people or so-called literati who had their brains damaged by reading. Which shareholder did not do anything in the process of getting rich?
It’s a shameful thing to do! Forewarning will lead to failure, and failure to forewarn will lead to failure. You can’t wait for others to knock on your door and then regret it!
There is no problem in establishing a defense company, but the problem is that the scale listed by Zhu Bin seems a bit big!
According to the manual, the structure of the defense company is divided into several aspects. The first is the security department, which is mainly responsible for the daily security and fire protection of the company's branches, offices, cargo terminals, and factory facilities. It occupies a considerable number of people.
There are at least a few thousand people in various places around the world. These people are mainly equipped with pistols and a small number of rifles. They can be used by trained veterans. It seems that they are easy to pass by governments of various countries.
Next is the Internal Security Department, which selects elite individuals with high personal military qualities who have been trained to be responsible for the personal safety and security of the company's shareholders and important employees. They follow them in and out on weekdays and prevent kidnappings, assassinations and other acts. At critical moments, they have to
Stop bullets. There are not many of them, only a hundred or so in total, but each person's salary and expenses are more than ten ordinary security guards. At least they are worth the money.
Thirdly, there is the Supervision Department. As a force hidden in the dark, it oversees the investigation of commercial espionage, betrayal and theft of company secrets internally, and the investigation of competitors and other business intelligence, important news, etc. externally. It is mainly composed of civilian elites, and the number is not large.
, but the intelligence network established externally has to constantly deal with high-ranking officials and rich people from all walks of life, and it costs little money.
The last one is the big trouble, Secret Service!
This is a formal force composed entirely of elite soldiers. It must be equipped with all available weapons no matter how high-end or expensive it is. It is required to be able to not only deal with small-scale kidnapping and rescue operations, but also be able to be deployed to deal with large-scale kidnapping and rescue operations when necessary.
Bandits, pirate attacks, and even frontal combat against certain warlord forces, and even regular armies of big countries like Japan, the Soviet Union, and Russia!
The number of this force seems to be small. It can support one or two thousand people. They are distributed in major countries and incident-prone areas on all continents. Each place usually has no more than a hundred people. It doesn't look like much, but don't forget that they have to have land and sea.
Various weapons and equipment of the Air Force!
There must be tanks and armored vehicles, fighter transport aircraft, and speedboats, gunboats, and submarine landing craft! Fortunately, Zhu Bin did not mention cruisers, battleships, aircraft carriers, or the like, otherwise all the shareholders would have had their hair blown on the spot! With so many armed forces, you
What kind of trouble do you want to make!
This is not over yet. In Zhu Bin's plan, all freighters belonging to the company must be armed. Freighters with a capacity of 10,000 tons will even be equipped with two 127mm high-level dual-purpose guns, four 76.2mm anti-aircraft guns and more than eight 20mm cannons.
Machine guns! The escort force is no less than one platoon. In this way, there are more than fifty military personnel on a ship, accounting for half or more of the entire crew!
Zhu Bin's explanation for this is that we simply hire retired naval officers and soldiers from various countries to serve as instructors. If they find it expensive, let them serve as instructors and temporarily train novices. China has a large number of people, and the salary is only one-tenth of that of Western countries. It is cheap and obedient.
, so useful!
In order to train so many armed personnel, ten training grounds must be opened in various places. According to Zhu Bin's plan, China is the most suitable. No country in the world has a more complex and comprehensive terrain than China. From the northeast to the northwest
From the forests, seas, snowfields, deserts and Gobi, to the plains, plateaus, hills and mountains of North China, Central and Northwest China, to the lakes, swamps, rivers and mountains in the south of the Yangtze River, to the tropical jungles and mountains in the South, as well as the islands, reefs, beachheads and waters, there is no shortage of anything!
Moreover, these places have the most military conflicts and more opportunities for actual combat training! You can encounter bandits and bandits when you go out of each training ground. If necessary, it is not impossible to directly drag them to the northeast and northwest to fight with the little devils and old Maozi.
But as a result, tens of millions of dollars will be spent just to establish this armed force. The cost of supporting them every year may wipe out all the company's income!
Zhu Bin also has a solution to this problem. Once these armed forces are ready, they can be rented out! There is no peace anywhere in the world, whether it is the personal protection of the rich, the rescue of various kidnappings and extortions, and the fight against bandits and pirates, or even
It is possible to help some small forces attack opponents. The money earned is enough to support oneself, and it can also make a profit!
"Is this really reliable?" Shareholders are full of questions. There is really no shortage of buying and selling opportunities, and it can indeed protect all the company's safety issues. As bosses and employees, they must be reassured, comfortable, and loyal.
Speed and team stability are guaranteed, but there seems to be no precedent!
Zhu Bin was confident about this, but he thought to himself: "I will tell you, is this how the original Interstellar Business Alliance developed?"
