Don't talk about martial arts, I'm a war contractor

Chapter 539: A Full Billion, Full of Returns
With these 1000 million US dollars, it is enough to open a new mine, and just transfer the "Losers Alliance" accumulated by Jihuo Defense over the years to it.

After all, Xia Yu is not a devil. In some cases, he has to root out the evil completely, but there are still many heroes who know the current situation and cooperate well. He is willing to spare the other party's life.

Those that happened in the distant past include Maxim in the white top hat, and those that happened in the recent two years include the pirates from Southeast Pass, and many of them survived.

However, they could escape the death penalty but could not escape the punishment of living imprisonment. Xia Yu sentenced them all to life imprisonment and sent them to the mines to undergo labor reform under the strict supervision of the village protection team.

Among them, Maxim became an accountant, while others like El Mencho started as a mine manager and could earn $500 a month.

There is definitely a gap compared to the previous ten-digit fortune, but this is all clean money and can be spent in the mine's store.

"Then I would be disrespectful."

Xia Yu accepted Eric's kindness.

The next thing they were going to talk about was the distribution of the first round of spoils, and the two of them couldn't help but sigh at the huge profits in the laundry detergent business.

The property seized by the Fire Defense Force at the cave shelter included cash with a total value of US$1.89 million.

Taking Franklin, with a total amount of $1 million, as an example, it is roughly a cube weighing about 1.05 tons and with a volume of 1.5 cubic meters.

Why did Greg, who had delayed for several minutes for El Mencho, come out from another secret passage just after he fell into the hands of the Jaguars? It was because he and a few of his confidants packed 1000 million in cash and wanted to take it away.

After all, there was a car hidden outside the secret passage, and an extra hundred kilograms would only be the problem of an extra person. However, they didn't know that all the secret passages were staked out by the other party, and they walked right into the trap.

Therefore, whether he ran away with the money or not would not affect his later arrest. This time the CIA's action would have been a successful operation if the DEA and Focus Defense had not interfered.

Unfortunately, there is always a mountain higher than another, and this time they suffered a complete loss.

El Mencho did not bring back any money, and suffered heavy losses in both personnel and equipment.

They had six neatly stacked piles of green paper, all of which they were going to pull back to Magnesium along with the gold bricks using the Black Hawk.

That’s right, Lao Ai also likes gold.

The price of gold has skyrocketed in the past two years, from $1100 to $1200 per ounce when Xia Yu started hoarding it, to over $1900 now.

Anyway, the dirty money that cannot be laundered has to be brought back to Mexico, so why not exchange part of it for gold bricks?

Judging from the current upward trend, it is possible that it can cover the cost of money laundering in the future. It can be regarded as a very good financial product in their industry.

In order to make the transaction go smoothly (after all, it was all black money), El Mencho even paid part of the premium.

Hence the 185 400-ounce (12.5-kilogram) standard gold bars he hid in his cave shelter, worth $1.42 million at today’s international gold prices.

In other words, excluding the weapons and equipment of CJNJ, the seized proceeds this time amounted to 3.31 million US dollars.

El Mencho has another shelter like this in another state.

According to him, the assets in that base are about 2.9 million, plus those safe houses with deposits ranging from 7.5 to million, the conservative income of the concentrated defense and DEA cash assets will be around million.

If the drug lord really falls, everyone will be well fed, their cash flow is too abundant.

Adding the money in El Mencho's account, the total profit is definitely $10 billion. This amount is also unprecedented, and half of it will be given to the DEA.

How to say it, without their intelligence support, the money would have gone to the CIA in the end, and the profit of Focus Defense from this long trip would have been cut in half.

Money is a small matter, but how many bad things can the CIA do with this special budget? This is intolerable.

While the CIA was launching an internal investigation to look for a possible mole, Firestar Defense had already confirmed with the DEA the distribution of the first round of spoils.

The total amount of 3.31 million is divided 1000-1.555, and after deducting the 1.755 million reward promised by the DEA, it means million for them and million for Xia Yu.

Among them, the 185 400-ounce standard gold bars were all delivered to Jihuo Defense after negotiation, and the shortfall was made up with small-denomination cash.

After his net worth skyrocketed several times, Xia Yu still liked green paper, but its popularity had dropped below hard currency like gold.

After all, Franklin could print money just by turning on the printing press, and gold is really dug out of the ground. It has been serving as a general equivalent as a precious metal for thousands of years, and this will not change in the foreseeable future.

Then just stockpile it when you have the chance, no matter whether the price goes up or down, there is plenty of space in his bunker where you can use it.

"Eric, happy cooperation?"

"Happy cooperation, Sherlock!"

The two held hands together, both very satisfied with this cooperation.

However, the total number of DEA's regular employees and informants exceeds 10,000. If the 500 million is distributed evenly, it means an additional allowance of 1,000 to 2,000 US dollars per month for several consecutive years.

If we change to Firestar Defense, even if the formal employees only participate in the first phase of spoils dividends, it will be 8275 million US dollars!

The advantage of having a small number of employees was instantly apparent at this moment, which is that everyone in the company can get a generous dividend.

It is a bit inappropriate to say that Firestar Defense is the fat Donglai among private military contractors, but as long as you are lucky, you can really earn enough for your pension in one deployment.

You have to talk about the dividends being too high and affecting employees' work enthusiasm, but employees who are unwilling to work and have no motivation will resign on their own. They can retreat to the second line and work in a subsidiary company, or return to their hometown to enjoy life.

This type of concentrated fire defense is like a tank with parts that can be replaced at any time. It can keep charging and never stop.

The so-called big enterprise disease does not exist at all. Vertical management is in place in one step. High metabolism brings high combat effectiveness. If you can't keep up and are eliminated, there will be a good place to go. If you are injured, disabled or die, there will be protection, which completely eliminates worries.

The delivery was complete. Xia Yu asked Liv to deposit more than 3000 million in cash into the account, and 185 standard gold bricks went directly into the system storage warehouse.

The dividends to the employees are paid directly with the advance payment made by Marquez, and the migrant workers from his hometown can directly settle the payment in RMB to their domestic bank cards, which saves a lot of trouble.

But all in all, their transatlantic deployment only took more than two months, less than a quarter, and they earned 5 million yuan. Their efficiency is indeed too high.

Xia Yu thought about it and decided to pull some of the equipment back first and they would stay in Moxigo for another month.

This is to do the final cleanup work on the leaderless CJNJ, and at the same time it is also to paralyze the CIA. According to Eric, their Latin American branch has been like crazy in the past two days, and they even bite their own people when they get ruthless.

"It's normal. When people do too many bad things, they will think that it was done by an insider. Whether it's a law enforcement agency or a corporate group, cultural atmosphere is very important. The CIA is the most typical counterexample."

Xia Yu said with a gloating look.

It’s no wonder Hollywood smears them every day. In real life, they do even more extreme things than in the movies.

"But is this only the case with the Latin American branch? What's the situation at their headquarters?"

"Headquarters? CIA headquarters is not in the mood to deal with these trivial matters. The results of next month's billing are the most important."

Eric said in a heavy tone.

It’s still the same real estate developer, and everything remains the same for the CIA.

But if the Cold War fossil is replaced, their style of doing things will change again. The DEA is only responsible for drug enforcement, so whether the boss changes or not should not have much impact on them, but Lao Ai still likes the character of the real estate developer.

If he takes the blame, the DEA's work in the next four years will only be more arduous, because this will be a major benefit to drug cartels such as Mexico and Colombia.

Even though CJNJ, which has been the most popular in recent years, has suddenly died, as long as it can gain recognition, a new cartel will always replace CJNJ's ecological niche.

"Let's change it. The next term must also recognize the agreement signed by the previous term. We may have to go to Afuhan next year."

There were no outsiders around, so Xia Yu and Lao Ai chatted casually.

"Oh? That's a huge hole. I know a lot of people have made a fortune there. Normally, it would never be your turn for PMC companies with foreign backgrounds. But now they are going to withdraw. Although you can't eat meat, you can still drink a mouthful of hot soup."

Eric underestimated the strength of Xia Yu, the cheating player.

From ancient times to the present, wolves have traveled thousands of miles to eat meat. This weasel is also a wolf, so why can it only drink soup?

"I'd like to borrow your good words. Rather than fighting and killing people all day long, I prefer to do business of buying low and selling high. As far as arms trading is concerned, weapons and equipment are best when they are not in use."

Xia Yu spoke his true feelings.

To translate it, it means not afraid of fighting, but also want to make money without doing anything.

"Then let's have a drink to toast the hard-earned peace and our cooperation during this period."

Eric said as he poured two glasses of whiskey.

"cheers!"

Xia Yu raised the glass and drank it all.

This kind of liquor, which could only be bought in pharmacies with a doctor's prescription in the last century, has a pungent taste, but you can still taste some of its flavor if you savor it carefully after the spiciness wears off.

After drinking this cup, Eric returned to the country to report on his work. He wiped out the last organized second-level unit of CJNJ, and the concentrated fire defense was also to be withdrawn.

However, in addition to its own employees, the An-124 also took away a group of employees recruited by Marquez, and Rudolf boarded Xia Yu's Il-76MF.

After seeing the exploded business jet, he felt that his own Legacy 650E looked like industrial waste.

But their PMC company focuses on domestic operations, and small and medium-sized business jets are sufficient. It would be a waste to spend hundreds of millions of dollars to convert military transport aircraft.

After experiencing the drug lord's hit list incident, Rudolf grew up a lot. He no longer valued material enjoyment as much as before, but learned to spend money wisely.

In the coming year, he and the first batch of selected employees will follow Jihuo Defense for an internship, hone their combat effectiveness in actual combat, and return to Mexico to directly engage in combat with an attitude of being at their best when they appear on the field.

In this way, the concentrated fire defense also has a temporary second-line force in addition to the village protection team.

Xia Yu doesn't need to pay him a salary, and other people use their own weapons and equipment. He only needs to bear the cost of ammunition.

The price-performance ratio can be said to be extremely high, but if you want to learn skills from a master, you always have to pay a price, not to mention that the company you are learning from is a T-0 level company in the PMC circle. The real beneficiaries are Marquez and his son.

After receiving refueling from the Il-78, the An-124 continued to fly for several hours and reached the western coast of Afika.

Kongluga's museum business has recovered a little, but it may take another year or two to reach the level of a few years ago.

Xia Yu was mentally prepared, and so were his employees.

Before that, the right thing to do is to actively develop new industries and increase investment in industries other than museums.

"Dad, are we home?"

Little Youzi asked his father as he walked down the gangway and looked around Pointe Noire Airport.

"I can only call it a second home, but your father's job is to travel all over the world, so he can't sit still!"

Xia Yu said with emotion.

"Let's go, let's go home and see the kitten. Mimi grew up drinking Dahuang's milk, but her son and daughter do have a mother."

Lifting their son above their heads and sitting on their shoulders, the father and son walked towards the convoy that came to pick them up.

Even if he couldn't stay idle, he would have to stay in Kongluga for the next month.

After completing this transoceanic deployment, the employees needed to rest, Rudolph and his employees had to receive basic training, and Xia Yu also had a lot of things to deal with.

Although he still couldn't rest, he was able to live a peaceful life away from the battlefield for a while.

Take some time out from your busy schedule to pet the cat and dog, ride the donkey, and spend time with your son.

Of course, we can’t forget the two in China. Due to special circumstances now, we can only communicate via video. We will bring them out next year when they are one year older and let Xiaoyouzi, as the older brother, take good care of the two little ones.

No matter what others do, his sons and daughters, Xia Yu, must not be flowers in a greenhouse. It is a good thing for them to come out early to experience the wind and rain.

"Wow~Wow~~"

A few days later, Xia Yu flew the AS 550 to the cave base after a long absence and unloaded all the tens of thousands of 155mm and 152mm shells he had printed during his trip to Mexico.

The inventory in the cave had already reached six figures before the Ebola virus incident, and now it is even higher.

However, even so, Xia Yu still felt it was not enough.

However, there is no end to making money. Shipping too much can easily cause trouble, so it is better to prepare for the original plan of shipping 50 units. This number is neither too high nor too low, it can be said to be just right.

"Dip~dip~dip~~"

Suddenly, his satellite phone rang.

There should be no signal in the cave, but Xia Yu used several mobile relay stations and laid the last section of the line, so there is always a signal in the cave sub-base.

As soon as he saw the caller ID was Eric, he quickly answered the call.

"Sherlock, my people have taken out all the cash and valuables in the other shelter and those safe houses. The total amount is 4.24 million. Is it the share for the Fire Defense? Should we use all the standard gold bricks to pay like last time, and then use cash to make up the difference?"

Lao Ai came up and asked.

"That's right, just like last time, but don't worry about the cash part. I will settle Elmencho as soon as possible and settle this part after I have withdrawn his cash accounts."

Xia Yu said.

He only wanted those 400-ounce standard gold bars, and the rest would go online directly, which would also be convenient for him to get old planes from Kidar.
