It took 2 hours to apply for the ETA electronic visa. During this time, Long Zhan seemed to have been given a smooth buff, and everything ended smoothly.
That afternoon, I took General Heng Ha to several car dealers and ordered four cars in total.
Buying a car in a car shop in the United States is different from that in China. Although there are no various handling fees and service fees like in China, if you don't get a mortgage, you will be a fool.
But in terms of the additional costs of buying a car, they are not much better than in China.
It's even higher in some aspects.
First of all, you need to pay various taxes. Take Utah, where Long Zhan bought the car, as an example.
You need to pay 2.9% state tax, 3.85% city tax, 0.6% county/county tax, and 6% purchase tax, a total of 10%
Consumption tax of 3.35.
In addition to the car's title certificate fee of US$15, and the registration fee and license fee of about US$75, before the vehicle is officially registered, an exhaust emission test fee of US$25 is required.
After calculating all the expenses, the extra money added to the final price of the car is comparable to that of buying a car with a domestic mortgage.
Fortunately, the price of various luxury models in the United States is more than half cheaper than in China.
For example, the George Button bulletproof version of the hard-core ultra-luxury off-road vehicle sold for nearly R4 million in China, and the full price of the Long Zhan was just over US$280,000.
The reason why I bought such a car is nearly 300,000 US dollars, and it is also a bulletproof version of an off-road vehicle.
The Dragon War is mainly used to pick up VIPs. For example, if a big boss comes to the company to discuss business, you can drive this car to pick them up.
It not only conforms to the company's style, but is also classy enough.
Secondly, it can be regarded as a precautionary measure. If you need to use a bulletproof vehicle at any time, the company has one that you can just drive out and get it done.
The crisis can be solved!
Originally, all the remaining cars in Long Zhan cost more than 200,000 yuan, but they agreed to Tucker's desire to save money, so the remaining cars were downgraded.
The top-end luxury SUV Lincoln Navigator costs NT$110,000, and its domestic price is over NT$1.3 million.
Coupled with the FBI's super-full-size Chevrolet Suburban SUV worth more than $70,000, and the ESV version of the Cadillac Escalade with an extended wheelbase worth more than $80,000.
In total, Long Zhan spent less than $550,000 to purchase four "classy" luxury cars for the company.
All four of these vehicles are over two meters tall, with a length that is just a few centimeters shy of 6 meters and must be yellow-carded in China, and a width of over 2.5 meters.
Domineering, wild, and full of masculine charm!
As a military company serving the military, what we want is this domineering feeling, so that when we drive it out, we can highlight the "presence" of Titan Company.
In addition to the Mercedes-Benz SUV we bought before, the company has a total of 5 buses that can be used.
There is no stress when using the vehicle.
On the second day after purchasing the vehicle for the company, several more invited contractor brothers came to the company and signed contracts with the company to become internal employees.
Among them was Tyrone, whom Long Zhan was thinking about and prepared to let him do big things.
Tyrone, who received the task, agreed without hesitation and promised to do his best to find Mount Jialuo in the shortest possible time.
The company covers all expenses for food, accommodation, and transportation. There is no need to go to the battlefield to fight. I travel around the world every day, and I can still earn a salary of more than 10,000 US dollars every month.
Doesn’t this mean paid travel?
Not to mention Tyrone, who is tired of the life and death of war and just wants to relax. As long as he is a working family, no one can refuse this job.
So delicious!
After arranging treasure hunters to hunt for themselves, the company's work has been completed and on track, and Long Zhan is finally free.
The third day.
The electronic signing of the application has been completed, and the decoration of the company dormitory has been officially completed.
Long Zhan personally led a team to conduct a detailed inspection of the room. After confirming that his requirements were met, he asked the employees who had lived in the hotel for many days to move to the company's dormitory.
The occupancy standard is that two ordinary employees share a room, and leaders above the supervisor level share a room.
Although the pass does not allow one person to share a room, it is much better than other companies' double rooms or rooms for four or five people.
Not to mention the dormitory decoration is so good.
They are all star-rated hotel suites, which are eye-catching and comfortable to live in.
The employees of the company were originally soldiers. They basically lived in Datongbu in the army, and they were very satisfied with the arrangement of two people sharing a room.
Not to mention the supervisory level, everyone is very motivated with good food and good accommodation.
The contract that Salt Lake City Home Furnishing Mall has successfully completed will be fulfilled as promised before by Long Zhan, and Starscream was specially assigned to follow up.
Anyway, Starscream has been relatively free recently, so it would be better to recruit her to do cool work and be responsible for the decoration of the company's headquarters building.
Starscream was not willing to take on this job at first. There were too many things to do in decorating the headquarters building and it was too cumbersome. She was not willing to lie in this muddy water.
Long Zhan Xiao relied on reason, moved her with emotion, and worked hard all night to finally get her.
And without giving Starscream a chance to regret it, he ran away early in the morning with his simple travel bag while Starscream was still asleep after fighting all night.
Let Bobby drive to the international airport and get on the flight to Australia.
…
In the past, the company was just a dream. Although Long Zhan also made money day and night, he was not so eager and the pressure on his shoulders was not so great.
Now that he finally has his own PMC company, Long Zhan feels a lot more pressure.
The difference is like being lightly armed and carrying a heavy but not heavy equipment before. Now, you are carrying a 60-pound backpack, and you can feel heavy pressure on your shoulders every moment.
Fragile people will be knocked down by pressure, but strong people will use pressure as motivation.
Dragon War is the latter!
Now that Long Zhan has pressure on his shoulders, he is more motivated to make money, more ambitious, and has a bigger appetite.
On the one hand, I came to Australia so urgently because I wanted to take the opportunity to expand my business scope.
Long Zhan mainly lived in Africa in his previous life, and in the Middle East in this life. He has always been unfamiliar with South Asia.
White Rose happens to be in this category and possesses extremely impressive strength.
If only I could get along well with white roses...
Whether it is a strategic cooperation between the two parties or the development of White Rose as a customer of Jushen Company, there are very good prospects.
Although the mercenary organization is not recognized internationally, Long Zhan believes that he will definitely need it in the future.
therefore.
Long Zhan flew to Australia this time. Although laundering the money was his first priority, he would also find ways to have a good relationship with White Spider.
I took off from the United States in the morning and arrived in Perth, Australia, at around 12 o'clock in the evening.
It took more than ten hours of flying.
It's still a long way from Perth to Kununurra, and it takes 3 hours to fly. Fortunately, Longzhan bought the tickets online in advance.
After a long journey, we finally reached our destination.
Kununurra is just a town, but the largest town in northern Western Australia.
Located in the eastern part of the Kimberley District, close to the Northern Territory and surrounded by picturesque mountains, it is the most ideal place to relax and unwind in Western Australia.
Tourists from all over the world come here in an endless stream every day.
It was already late at night when Long Zhan walked out of the airport. He realized that White Rose could not send someone to pick her up at this time, so he decided to go back to the city to find a hotel first.
While sitting in the taxi, I made a phone call and made an appointment with Bai Meigui to meet tomorrow.
the next day.
10 am.
Long Zhan, who was already more energetic than ordinary people, had regained his energy after a night's rest. After breakfast, he arrived at the appointed place.
An inconspicuous black BMW 6 Series GT sedan stopped in front of Long Zhan.
This car is a decent luxury car for its price, and there is nothing wrong with its power. It is just a sporty car, but it is too small for some people.
For example, a big guy two meters tall!
The thin driver opened the window. Long Zhan's size was too intimidating, which made him unsure. As he looked up and down, he asked: "Mr. Gibran?"
"Yes, I am." Long Zhan raised his eyebrows.
"Oh, God."
The driver wiped his face in embarrassment, got out of the car and helped with the luggage while smiling bitterly: "My name is Jim. The boss asked me to come and pick you up. I didn't expect you to be so strong. It might be a bit difficult to sit in my car..."
Jim gestured with his hands to indicate the size, which meant that you had to find a way to squeeze in.
"I hope the journey isn't too far."
Long Zhan looked at the car with the roof only reaching his abdomen, and he was also dumbfounded.
A two-meter-tall brawny man covered in sinews can squeeze into a small car, and it's a sports version. In theory, it can be done.
The posture will be very uncomfortable and the whole person will have a strong sense of restraint.
It's like being put in a can.
Long Zhan opened the car door and sat in. The car sank nearly 5 centimeters with a dull creaking and rubbing sound.
The car body tilted to one side.
"Oh my god!"
The driver put the luggage back and looked at the overwhelmed car. He secretly sweated in his heart and prayed that the hydraulic shock absorbers would not be crushed.
Fortunately, the good luck buff from the dragon battle is still there!
After a lot of effort and various adjustments to my body posture, the car squeaked and vibrated in various ways.
Long Zhan finally managed to stuff himself into the back seat of the car through hard work.
The co-pilot can't sit in at all.
Because Long Zhan was sitting in the back seat, he could only lie sideways on the back seat, while curling his head and body as much as possible.
This pose is so funny!
"I'm sorry, sir, I really didn't think well. Please try your best to hold on."
Amid the driver's endless apologies, the vehicles weaved through the traffic at extremely fast speeds. Even in urban areas, the average number of vehicles exceeded 70 miles.
It can be seen that although this driver is thin and small, he also has a unique skill in his hands.
With his superb driving skills, he can drive smoothly in busy urban areas and make every effort to fly. He is definitely a racing driver's level of skills.
The driver responsible for robbing a bank in the movie probably only has this kind of skill.
"This kind of driving skills can't be matched by ordinary people. He is worthy of being a member of the White Rose Mercenary Group. Anyone who pulls him out can have dazzling unique skills."
Long Zhan secretly sighed at the strength of the White Rose Mercenary Group, and the painful ride experience soon passed.
Under Jim's flexible control, the BMW sedan drove out of the bustling town center in less than 10 minutes and parked at an independent villa in the suburbs through the gate.
This villa occupies a very large area, with walls extending endlessly to both sides, at least tens of thousands of square meters.
The car parked in front of the three-story main building. The unique medieval antique style and the sculptural fountain in the middle immediately gave it a high-end feel.
As soon as the BMW stopped, the old man in a suit who had been waiting at the gate came over.
He opened the back door for help and was about to speak when he saw Long Zhan stuffed inside the car in a strange sitting posture, with a strange expression on his face for a moment.
With someone as big as Long Zhan being forced into a car, anyone who sees it will find it ridiculous.
Fortunately, the old man had lived for so many years and ate more salt than others, so he controlled his emotions and adjusted in time.
Smiling and elegantly said: "Mr. Gibran, welcome to your arrival. My name is Antonio, and I am the housekeeper here. Miss Nicole is already waiting for you inside. Please come with me, and I will take you to see her."
"Okay, thank you, but please wait for me to come out first."
Long Zhan had never been thin-skinned. As long as he was not embarrassed, others would be embarrassed, so he calmly squirmed out of the back seat.
Seeing Long Zhan slowly exiting the car like a little meat worm, Antonio's expression became even weirder.
I almost couldn't hold my breath!
In order to avoid laughing out loud and being rude, he quickly shifted his attention and scolded: "Jim, you did this very badly. You should call and ask in advance. I hope you won't make the same mistake next time."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Okay, Mr. Antonio, I will pay attention next time." Jim lowered his head and answered, his invisible face full of dissatisfaction.
Anyone else would be equally dissatisfied.
If you go pick someone up and drive a car, you will feel fine with whoever you put on them. Who knows the person you are going to pick up will be as big as a bear and a huge waist.
While Antonio and Jim were talking, Long Zhan successfully escaped from the car.
"Let's go, please lead the way."
Long Zhan stretched out his hand to signal Antonio, looked at everything in front of him, and couldn't help but secretly thought in his heart: "Even if this is land in the suburbs, if you can afford to build such a luxurious villa, you are not ordinary rich, and you are worthy of being the mercenary queen of South Asia."
.”
In this era where mercenaries are no longer recognized internationally and are equivalent to illegal violent organizations.
It really surprised Long Zhan that the leader of a mercenary group could build a mansion in such a large area in Australia.
but.
When you follow the steps in front of the door and enter the door, you can see the expensive and luxurious decoration inside the house. There are various artworks and oil paintings hanging on the walls and on the table that have a sense of the times at first glance.
Long Zhan realized that the builder of this villa might not be White Rose.
You can see the sense of age from the interior of the villa. It has been built for at least 40 years, and the White Rose is only in its early 30s, so it doesn't match up directly.
"It seems... the White Rose Mercenary Group has more stories hidden behind it."
An idea came to Long Zhan's mind. He walked through the atrium lobby and followed the spiral staircase to the second floor. Antonio pushed open a relief wooden door and finally saw the white rose in person.
Brown skin, ear-length short hair, and standard traditional Middle Eastern beauty facial features perfectly interpret the four words "thick eyebrows and big eyes".
Pair it with an Indian-style, one-piece black gold-rimmed embroidered long skirt and a huge gemstone pendant at the low-cut V-neck.
As long as a professional can see it, he has perfect muscle lines that can only be obtained after special training, and a "ruthless look" in his expressionless face.
The elegance of a noble lady and the ferocity of a hot girl. These two different temperaments with distinct awe appear in one woman at the same time.
Long Zhan couldn't help but say something in his mind:
"Graceful and luxurious with wildness, dignified and elegant with sexy hidden in it. The two temperaments are perfectly blended together. She is truly the best among women."
As soon as Long Zhan entered the door, he was sizing up White Rose, and White Rose was also sizing up Long Zhan.
Bai Meigui, who was frowning and thinking about something, seemed to have encountered some trouble, saw Long Zhan's strong body with overwhelming fighting power, and a hint of surprise flashed in his big eyes like a bowl of water.
