Although Paladin Security's start-up capital is only one million, which is not comparable to other industry giants, in terms of operating philosophy, it is countless generations ahead of the industry giants.
Unlike other security companies, Shepard naturally gives priority to the military when recruiting personnel, and the reason is also very simple. Personnel with military training can save many tedious training processes, including shooting, field rescue, search and rescue, and retreat. of.
And the effect was immediate. An employer who chose Paladin Security was robbed at his home. Eleven robbers drove three cars and tried to steal millions of cash that had been delivered to the employer's home. The result had not even begun. They were warned by the security guards during the operation. As a result, these guys felt that there were few security guards and they were easy to bully, so they tried to break through with force, and then they were shot down six times by the other party.
There were many veterans among the armed robbers. As soon as they heard the sound of gunshots, they knew that what the other party was holding was not a fire stick. Knowing that they were in trouble, they immediately prepared to leave. Then, they saw people wearing ammunition racks and tactical vests, and armed men. The only thing missing from the soldiers was a Paladin security guard dressed in military uniform.
Relying on this wave of popularity, Paladin became famous in one battle. The appearance of security alone was enough to scare away many people with ulterior motives. After all, everyone just wanted to make money, not risk their lives.
Moreover, the weapons and equipment used by Paladin's security are all produced by Knight Arms. This can be regarded as self-produced and sold to a certain extent. With precise ordnance and capable security personnel, it can be said that Shepard's security business can be achieved from the beginning. Just won the starting line.
And after shocking the local police station with the security personnel's superb shooting skills, Paladin Security even had the additional job of providing shooting training for police personnel.
In addition to these, in 1977, Paladin also reached labor contracts with several private banks and gold shops, and the latter paid to hire Paladin security personnel to protect their company's assets.
Shepard himself did not expect that Paladin Security would develop so rapidly, and even the company was once in a shortage of personnel, forcing Shepard to urgently find many retired personnel from the Navy from his cheap dad. Fill the gap.
It's just that it attracts attention. Paladin's popularity immediately made many industry bosses jealous. Although they also learned from Shepard's approach and changed their own application strategies, after all, the latter had the first-mover advantage. Industry bosses wanted to If you turn around and catch up, you will naturally fall far behind.
To this end, several larger security companies are also trying to reach an agreement with Conrad Ross, the head of Paladin appointed by Pad, hoping that Paladin can act according to their rules and avoid certain unpleasant things from happening.
But Ross doesn't buy their fault at all. After all, industry competition is like fighting in a war. Any hesitation and slackness is a betrayal of victory. Those eliminated will naturally be replaced, and no one will care about the rules customized by the weak.
Seeing that this was not going to work, the unwilling industry competitors tried some dirty tricks. The boss of a security company lost his mind because Paladin had robbed him of too much business, and even came up with the idea of killing someone with a borrowed knife.
He sent his capable men to infiltrate the hippies and recruit troops, hoping to break into Conrad's residence and plunder them. After all, there was nothing more ironic than the death of the owner of a security company during an armed robbery.
As for the hippies who are high on drugs, there is nothing they dare not do. As long as they are given leaves and women, they will even dare to blow up the White House. .
Soon, the other party found five or six brave people. With their so-called words of robbing the rich to give to the poor and saving the common people, the hippies immediately got on board and felt the heavy burden on their shoulders, as if the poor all over the world were relying on them. They are generally liberating.
Afterwards, a few people took action directly, and the weapons were naturally provided. There were all kinds of pistols, crowbars, clubs, shotguns, and they were guaranteed to be of the kind that could not be found from the source.
Transportation was not a problem for these hippies. There were many talented people among them. Stealing a car was no problem. Soon, there were six people, four men and two women, who were ready for everything, and then they chose one to watch. On a moonlit night, six people took the stolen car and drove all the way to Conrad's house. It was a residential area on the outskirts of the city. Although it was far away from the center of the city, it was very quiet. This was originally Shepard's house. German house, but after buying a new one,
This place was given to Conrad to live in.
When the hippies visited the site, they thought that Conrad was the only one living here. However, in fact, due to the renovation of the new house, Shepard and the few guards who had been following him still lived here. However, on the day when the hippies visited the site, Shepard The Padres made a trip back to San Diego, and both sides missed it perfectly.
When the hippies quietly parked their cars outside the yard and got out of their cars to get ready to work, the guards on the night shift noticed them. At first, the guards thought they were gangsters who went to the house opposite to do bad things. There lived a pretty female model. When these guys had nothing to do, they squatted on the roof and used binoculars to watch her sunbathing at home.
He originally wanted to notify the police to handle it, but when he picked up the phone, he saw the latter climbing over the wall.
At that time, the Green Beret soldier was stunned for more than ten seconds. He didn't know why someone would come to this place where eight armed mercenaries lived to cause trouble, but to be on the safe side, he still Wakes everyone up.
"interesting!"
Shepard couldn't figure out why, and he didn't bother to think about it. He might as well ask the other party directly.
Then he went back to his room to continue taking a nap, while several guards turned off the power switch, put on night vision goggles, and lurked in the dark.
In less than thirty seconds, six guys were controlled. Because they didn't control their strength well, one unlucky guy had his neck broken, while the remaining guys, both men and women, received a good beating.
Then, a yawning Shepard staggered out of the room.
"Well, I guess you guys are too lazy to talk, so let's go straight to the process!"
Shepard didn't believe in any impromptu initiative. This place was eight hundred miles away from the city center, and the people who lived there were not rich people, just bourgeoisie with a little bit of money. What kind of robber would come here to rob someone out of his mind?
Immediately, a few bruised and swollen hippies were taken to the basement, and then two guards brought towels and plastic buckets filled with cold water.
"You probably don't understand. Let me introduce it to you. This is a trick we used a lot when we were in Africa. It's called waterboarding! It must make you think something, so please take your time and enjoy it!"
