The basic salary of 20 US dollars sounds pitiful, but for South Korea during this period, it was considered a high salary. At that time, the salary of Korean soldiers on the Vietnam battlefield was only 33 US dollars. Shepard's salary was 20 US dollars.
The basic salary is also carefully calculated.
If he is a true elite, he can even offer a basic salary of 3,000, but these guys who are recruited temporarily to make up the salary, 20 is already the end of their kindness.
"What do you need so many people for?"
"Be a security guard!"
"John!"
"Okay, I took over a contractor company and am going to Africa to do some security work, so I need some manpower!"
"You, the contractor?"
Mitchell Shepard, who was on the other end of the phone, couldn't help but laugh. He really didn't expect that his little brother would be so troubled within two years of running away from home.
But when he thought about what he had accomplished since childhood, including organizing large-scale ghostwriting of math homework, extorting protection money from school bullies, and holding paid developer conferences on campus, Mitchell felt relieved.
"Okay, I helped you with this, so what are the benefits to me?"
"I'll mail you some specialties!"
"Okay!"
"Oh, by the way, I've already mailed you a sample document. Once you've hired someone, send it to them directly!"
"I guess I have to take care of the remaining fifty-nine copies?"
"That's right, bro!"
"You are such a little bastard who deserves a beating!"
"Thank you for the compliment!"
After hanging up the phone, Shepard immediately walked out of the phone booth humming a little tune. He didn't have to worry about this anymore, because since he was a child, he thought that Mitchell, who had established an omnipotent image in the hearts of his brothers, would take care of it.
All of this was due to the encouragement of Shepard, who had just learned to speak at the time. It was not impossible that Mitchell Shepard, who gradually lost his true nature amidst the calls that his brother was too powerful, turned into a doting brother and a maniac.
The reason!
After the personnel were secured, Shepard went to the local National Guard base without stopping. After verifying the documents, he obtained three companies of sealed infantry equipment, including bulletproof vests, water bottles, backpacks, and ammunition-mounted military boots.
Although it's not as good as Shepard's intention, now is not the period of later generations when all kinds of tactical equipment are in competition, so they can only make do with it, and at least Shepard remembers to prepare some protection for his men, although it may not be of much use.
equipment.
In addition to these protections, the natural environment in Africa is also quite threatening. Necessary drugs, preventive vaccines, and even doctors are also within the scope of Shepard's consideration.
In addition, there was the biggest problem of food rations. Shepard did his homework in advance and found a food company that was delivering food and drinking water to local foreign-funded enterprises in Katanga. Facing the customers who came to visit, the food company hit it off immediately and started working with them.
Shepard signed a half-year supply contract, and they will deliver supplies every half month.
In addition to these things, there are also equipment transportation procedures and customs declarations. In short, Shepard is also responsible for the complicated procedures. Although generally speaking, a dedicated team should be responsible for these tasks, but this is still Shepard's responsibility.
It was the first time for Pad to operate completely independently, so he had a deep understanding of running up and down.
In short, when everything was almost ready, it was already April, and then the Black Fish set sail and officially headed to the coast of Africa.
There were less than thirty people who set out early, including the original company elders and a group of retired veterans recruited by Plomri in the later period. There were also seven from the South Vietnamese Rangers. Due to the corrupt war situation in Vietnam, these people had already
They are preparing for their future. After signing a long-term contract with Shepard, their family will be taken to Orange County, California, for resettlement. Of course, they cannot afford the resettlement expenses themselves, so
Shepard kindly gave these guys personal loans, and they only had to work for twenty more years to pay them off!
As for South Korea, there were no problems. Mitchell was recruiting people very smoothly. At this time, there was no miracle on the Han River in South Korea, and their lives were not as good as those of their neighbors to the north who were supported by Big Brother, so even though they were open
The wages are ten or even nine times lower than those offered to Americans, but there are still a large number of qualified people rushing to come in.
The reason why Shepard didn't let these guys come together was because he had some doubts about the conduct of our Korean army. He would at least wait until they established a camp in Katanga before sending these guys over.
On April 26, 1970, accompanied by the passionate sound of the ship's whistle, Shadow Company, which would later have a mixed reputation in Africa, finally arrived in Africa, where he was loyal.
As the leader of the Legion, Shepard couldn't wait to land on the African continent and immediately took a step forward.
"This is a small step for me, but a giant step for the company!"
Looking at Shepard who was so excited, Plumli thought it would be better not to tell him that they were still almost a thousand kilometers away from their destination.
Although it is far away from the destination, fortunately, due to the large amount of investment from foreign companies during this period and the colonial rule, the road conditions in the Democratic Republic of the Congo are pretty good. Shadow Company's personnel and equipment can drive directly from the dock to Katanga by road.
The provincial capital is Lubumbashi.
There, FEA personnel from Standard Oil had prepared a nice camp for them from the former Belgian colonial period.
After seeing this camp, Shepard couldn't help but sigh with sincerity. It was indeed a good place, connected in all directions, ventilated on all sides, and people and nature lived in harmony.
Of course, this is a statement of high emotional intelligence. A low emotional intelligence means that the camp left by the Belgian army is just a camp, because nothing else is left. The doors and windows of the camp are empty, the yard is overgrown, and
There are a few wild boars playing and playing, but the main body of the building is still in good condition. Coupled with the stone material, it can be considered warm in winter and cool in summer.
Fortunately, the black uncles can't move away the stone wall!
Shepard could only sigh like this, and then he ordered a fire to burn down the yard first!
"Mr. Manfield!"
Shepard stopped the Energy Department official and asked if he could find some workers for him. After all, he wanted to repair the camp. After the latter accepted the 20 US dollars as a favor, he told Shepard obediently that he would be willing to do so if he could.
Recommend your own company’s team.
"That's great. Also, can you introduce me to the local situation?"
Seeing that another 20 US dollars had arrived, the little Mediterranean man immediately smiled like a gentleman.
