Although he said things that Western reporters couldn't hear, Shepard still tidied up his clothes a little, for example, he put on a new suit jacket and lined jacket, and his leather boots were even taken care of by the orderlies. Used as a mirror.
Then, he discovered that there seemed to be something wrong with this so-called Belgian Times reporter.
It’s not that the reporter has crooked melons, buck teeth, and squinting eyes. It’s hard for a mature and intellectual woman in her thirties to make people dislike her, but the other person’s attention is all on Baoman, a woman who is almost fifty and has a successful career. A middle-aged man, a thirty-year-old intellectual elder sister, and most importantly, the Belgian Times is a financial newspaper, and the other party is reporting on the United Mining Industry.
Of course, the female reporter named Casilla didn't say anything. After briefly chatting with Shepard, she recorded a line of words in her notebook.
United Mining has reached a new cooperation agreement with an American security company to provide more reliable security for the mining and transportation process.
The delay in delivery of United Mining has shocked the company and investors quite a bit, and has even shaken many investors. Therefore, United Mining wanted to invite reporters from financial newspapers to do on-the-spot interviews, with the purpose of making investors understand. , the problem has been solved, and mining companies still have a bright future.
Therefore, Bowman’s good-intentioned advertisement for Shadow Company turned out to be a scandal in the end. The female reporter obviously wanted to complete the interview quickly and then conduct in-depth research on financial issues with the other party, so she left in a hurry without even sitting on her buttocks. And before leaving, he didn't forget to leave a note for Baoman.
"This, this, this!"
Bowman looked at the leaving reporter and immediately wanted to explain a few words, but Shepard waved his hand.
"Stop doing that and give me the list!"
In order to get Shadow Company to take action, Bowman promised Shepard that in addition to funds, the reward also included six-wheel trucks and a large amount of NATO standard ammunition, explosives for blasting, and professional blasting engineers. These things are not counted for United Mining. What, but because Shepard wanted brand new goods, these goods had to be shipped from Europe. As for the funds, Bauman paid directly in gold. Anyway, it was the Congolese gold that they were digging, so they didn't feel bad.
In addition to these, Bowman also signed an exclusive contract with Shadow Company on behalf of United Mining. As long as United Mining needs to hire security anywhere in the world, it can only hire Shadow Company. Although it sounds like an overlord clause, in fact it is not. It's the overlord clause, but it doesn't matter to Bowman or United Mining. After all, their crotchless security force is really embarrassing this time. United Mining is already preparing a layoff plan. They are preparing to graduate all these embarrassing guards and replace such high-quality talents. delivered to European society.
Shepard didn't know that he had unintentionally made hundreds of people lose their jobs, but it didn't matter if he knew. If you're unemployed, you're unemployed. At worst, if you're receiving relief at home, where to eat is not a meal?
In fact, Shepard wanted to establish a connection with the Belgian Herstal Arms Company through Bowman. After all, Herstal was a well-known ordnance company. Whether it was poaching or buying things, it was a very good target. Of course, Herstal is just its full name, and the company's abbreviation is FN.
After all, he is still a reborn person who is several versions ahead. Shepard has already prepared a package of original plans. He is prepared to follow the path of others and leave others with no way to go.
Unfortunately, none of Bauman's acquaintances are from the Herstal Company, so there is little hope of matchmaking. However, the supply of bullets is not a problem. The main product of the Herstal Company at this time is the 7.62mm FAL battle rifle. , whether it is bullets or rifles, they are all first-class military products, which are much more cost-effective than shipping them from the United States.
In short, after completing the package of documents that needed to be signed and the procedures that needed to be completed, the time had come to March 1971, and Shepard had not even felt the New Year atmosphere.
However, after finishing a lot of work, Shadow Company finally had a lot of leisure. There were no mercenaries looking for trouble, and the unruly tribes were not willing to provoke the heavily armed PMC, so the daily workload of the entire company was greatly reduced.
As the boss of the company, Shepard naturally knows what to do at this moment. The old employees of the company have followed him to Africa for almost a year. They have been through the rain of bullets. Although everyone has done a lot of bad things, they have also done a lot of bad things. He made a lot of money, so he decisively started the rotation of pmc, and the four teams went home in batches to visit relatives.
After learning that they could take a vacation, the happiest ones naturally belonged to the group of Korean employees. Most of them came to Africa for the salary. Now that their pockets were bulging, they naturally wanted to go back and show off.
However, American employees and Vietnamese employees did not respond at all. After years of war, they have no longer adapted to peaceful life. Going back will only drink alcohol and cause trouble. It is better to stay here and find something to do every day to kill the excess energy.
As for Shepard, he did not go back. Instead, he found a language training class in the Democratic Republic of the Congo and learned the local language. After all, judging from the current situation, if Shadow Company wants to become bigger and stronger, it cannot do without the resources provided by Africa. and markets, it doesn’t hurt to learn a few local languages. It can even make it easier to communicate with the locals to avoid misunderstandings.
In addition to learning to recharge, Shepard even went to South Africa. It was not to travel there, but to see whether there was any market in South Africa. At this time, South Africa was not what it was after Mandela came to power. White-ruled South Africa is extremely active at the moment. As a son of Africa who led the British, South Africa strongly wants to imitate its old father and try to create its own independent world in the south of Africa. To this end, South Africa has carried out a large number of foreign military interventions. From Rhodesia to Angola, South Africa's involvement can be seen everywhere.
But unfortunately, these are not something that Shadow Company can intervene at the moment. However, Shepard found a lot of good things in the South African arms market, but it was a pity that he couldn't eat them either.
At this moment, Shepard suddenly missed Smith. The other party's network could always come in handy at this time, but it was a pity that he was currently unable to take over.
And perhaps because he heard Shepard's call, when he returned to the Democratic Republic of the Congo from South Africa, a telegram from Kinshasa was also delivered to him.
Uncle Smith, whom he longed for, had already arrived in Kinshasa. The other party sent Shepard a telegram and left his address for Shepard to go find him.
