Can you be called a rich man if you don’t indulge yourself?

Chapter 171 United Nations Passport

After staying at the training base for a while, Ye Lei directly brought Gu Heng and Jiang Wen to his company.
"Iris recognition completed, identity entered successfully, welcome Mr. Ye back to the office."

Looking at the sci-fi office door in front of him, Gu Heng was slightly startled.
Although this kind of high-tech is useless, it is really cool and gives you a sense of déjà vu like watching a science fiction movie.
Ye Lei smiled and turned back to the two of them and said, "Come sit in my office first. I have arranged for someone to bring bodyguards. Gu Heng, you can choose later."

Then he continued, "These are some weak military products. The main reason is that we undertake a wide range of business, and there are many confidential documents of dignitaries from other countries. If these things are obtained by someone with ulterior motives, it will have a huge impact on our company, so we are quite strict in terms of security."

Gu Heng had no interest in this information, but asked in confusion: "What does weak military product mean?"

"It means exactly what it says. They are all security products produced in the same batch as the military. However, their performance is slightly worse than the military products in service, but much better than the civilian ones."

tsk tsk.
Gu Heng knew that Ye Lei had no reason to lie to him.

This is nothing more than showing off the strength of your company.
But what should be said is that Gu Heng did agree.
China is different from the West. Military products are strictly controlled and private individuals do not even have the right to research and develop them.

Even in the West, not many private companies can use the same batch of military products. This is enough to prove the strength of the Navy Seal Shield Security Company. No wonder it has such a great reputation internationally.
Backed by the Chinese Army
Not only are all the bodyguards retired from the special forces, but even the company's products are the same batch of domestic military products.
How could this fame not be great?
When he walked into the office, Gu Heng's eyes narrowed.

My own office is already quite big, covering a full 100 square meters.
But Ye Lei's office in front of him was even bigger, almost two or three times the size of his own office.
In addition to the most basic office equipment, there is even a simple indoor small shooting range, and there are several guns hanging on the wall. As for whether they are real guns or fake guns, Gu Heng is not sure.
But even if it was a real gun, Gu Heng would not be surprised.

It is normal for such a company to have a gun license and legally carry guns.
"Gu Heng, how many bodyguards do you plan to hire?"

Asking Jiang Wen and Gu Heng to sit down, Ye Lei sat at the desk and gave each of them a cigarette, then asked Gu Heng.

Gu Heng lit up the cigarette and responded softly: "I plan to find a whole team."

"Oh?"

Ye Lei was a little surprised when he heard this, and then he sat up straight.
This is big business.
Navy Seal Shield Security Consultants is the No. 1 private security company in China, but its prices are also ridiculously high.
The best bodyguards are really too expensive for ordinary small bosses.
Not to mention a whole team of bodyguards.
"We have a ready-made bodyguard team here, a total of four teams. Two of them currently have employers, and there are two teams on standby. These people are very tacit, and there is a clear division of labor. The five types of bodyguards I told you about before are all available. The remaining ones are a team of 13 and a team of 37.

Which one do you want?"

"Brother Lei, would you like to introduce me?"

"The 13-member team was established not long ago. They are currently involved in relatively few security missions. The most recent one was an international armed escort. I can't reveal the specific details to you. The members are all former special forces elites who have undergone a year of bodyguard training and were selected from hundreds of people.

The price is relatively affordable, with a minimum mission period of one month and a cost of around 1 million yuan.”

13 people, monthly fee is 300 million.
The average salary is about 200,000 yuan.
It's already considered an extremely high-income class.
Ye Lei's words about benefits are obviously crazy if they are seen by ordinary people.
But Gu Heng thought it was really affordable.
It is impossible for all 300 million to be given to these bodyguards. The company will definitely divide it into parts.

Thirteen people, a monthly salary of 10 is considered good.
Being able to take on armed escort jobs, this kind of bodyguard is not the kind of bodyguard in TV dramas who wears suits and sunglasses and tries to look cool, but a serious bodyguard who can draw his gun and risk his life if his employer gets into trouble.
without any exaggeration
These people make their money with their heads hanging on their belts.
10 a month for working hard, is that too much?

"What about the 37-member team?"

Listening to Gu Heng's question, Ye Lei continued: "The team of 37 people was the first bodyguard team when our company was first established. At the beginning, there were only a dozen people, and then the scale gradually expanded to the current 37 people.

This team is full of elites. It is no exaggeration to say that as long as their weapons and equipment can keep up, this bodyguard team can be comparable to a small special forces unit in the United States.

Over the years, he has taken on many high-risk missions and even served as a bodyguard for the president of a small country. I don't need to tell you how good he is, right?"

Gu Heng was moved when he heard this.
People
After all, the richer you are, the more afraid you are of death.
Although it is a bit of an overkill to have such an elite bodyguard team to protect me.
But Gu Heng doesn't care.
He has money.
As long as you can ensure your own safety, what does it matter if you spend some money?
Thinking of this, Gu Heng asked directly: "How much does this team cost?"

Ye Lei put out the cigarette and slowly extended a finger.

"1000 million. The monthly fee is 1000 million."

高.
very high.
Ten million a month, that's more than 100 million a year.
This kind of bodyguard is probably only affordable for the richest people, and ordinary small bosses dare not even think about it.
However, this bodyguard team is actually set up specifically to protect this kind of people.
For ordinary wealthy people, spending tens of thousands of dollars a month to hire a few bodyguards is enough. Why would they need super bodyguards who are comparable to active special forces?

"Can I see the person first before I make a decision?"

Ye Lei nodded and said, "Of course, but not all 37 people are in the company right now. Some of them are on vacation at home. If we need to gather them all together, it may take two days.

There are only a few core members in the capital who are helping to train the new recruits. Do you want to wait until they gather together or watch it now?"

"No need to gather them all, I just want to see what the bodyguard team that can protect the president is like."

"Okay, I'll notify them to come over right away."

Ye Lei didn't say much, he just dialed the landline and made a call.

If it was an ordinary customer, Ye Lei might not have taken it so seriously, but Gu Heng is now considered a relatively well-known figure in the Beijing business circle. How could Ye Lei, who is a third-generation figure and has taken root in Beijing, not have heard of Gu Heng?

He really believed that Gu Heng had the ability to hire an entire team of bodyguards.
After the call, Ye Lei smiled at Gu Heng and said, "I have already notified them to come over. They will be here in about half an hour. Please wait for a while."

Gu Heng was not in a hurry either, and also smiled and nodded in response. "But can I ask you something, what are you going to do? Why do you want to hire such a large team of bodyguards? Of course, if it's inconvenient to say, just pretend I didn't ask."

Listening to Ye Lei's doubts, Gu Heng smiled and said, "There's nothing inconvenient to say. I hired a whole team of bodyguards simply because I'm afraid of death.

I'm planning to travel to Europe in the next few days, maybe visiting quite a few countries.

I'm not afraid of you laughing at me, this is my first time going abroad since I was a child. I learned about foreign countries from the Internet. I don't know what the real situation is like, but I heard that it's very chaotic.

So for your own safety, you might as well spend a little more money and find a reliable bodyguard team."

Ye Lei just smiled when he heard this, and didn't say much.
He was not familiar with Gu Heng and thought that Gu Heng did not trust him, so he was unwilling to say more. Anyway, as long as Gu Heng paid, it didn't matter what Gu Heng did.

Ten million a month for bodyguards, simply because you want to travel abroad and ensure your own safety?

Even the richest man in China today can't be this extravagant, right?

Who would believe such a reason?

Gu Heng also noticed the meaning in Ye Lei's eyes, but he just smiled faintly without any explanation.

What he said was completely his true thoughts. If Ye Lei didn't believe it, there was nothing he could do.
I have no interest in forcing him to explain.

Jiang Wen, who had been listening to the conversation, asked, "Going to Europe? Why is Gu Heng going to Europe?"

"The LV Group had a fashion show. I am a member of the group and they invited me to watch the show. I took the opportunity to travel abroad, first to France, then to Switzerland, and then to travel around Europe.

If you don’t have enough fun, go to America or Africa.”

Jiang Wen didn't listen to anything else. When he heard about the LV fashion show, his eyes suddenly lit up: "LV fashion show? How is this show?"

“I’m not sure, but I heard from the person who invited me at the LV Group that this is a fashion show that their group attaches great importance to today, and they will invite many world-famous models to participate, saying that it is comparable to Victoria’s Secret.

Let’s go to the scene and see what’s going on.”

"Gu Heng, how am I treating you?"

After listening to this, Jiang Wen stared at Gu Heng with a serious expression.

Gu Heng looked puzzled: "If you have something to say, do you also want to participate in this show?"

Jiang Wen lost his composure in a second, and a deliberately flattering smile appeared on his face: "Brother Heng knows me well, can you take me to one?"

Jiang Wen has the common problem of the rich second generation.
That's really lustful
The only difference is that the second generation of rich people have different perspectives.
Principal Wang just likes all kinds of internet celebrities. It has been more than ten years, and his taste has not changed. His new girlfriend is another internet celebrity born in the 00s.
And what about Jiang Wen?
He likes all kinds of models
Last time at the auto show, if Gu Heng hadn't stopped him, he would have asked for the contact information of more than a dozen car models.
To be honest, the quality of the models at the last auto show was very poor. Apart from their great figures, Gu Heng couldn't stand their faces at all, but Jiang Wen liked them to death.
This is just a pure weird habit.
Thinking of this, Gu Heng said helplessly: "Then I will contact you before I leave."

With Jiang Wen's status, it was not difficult to get a ticket to the LV fashion show. There was no need to offend him. Besides, it was his first time going abroad, and it would be easier to adapt if he had someone familiar with him.
"Brother Heng, you are my real brother from now on!"

After jokingly flattering Gu Heng, Jiang Wen asked again: "How is your passport going? I just heard you say that you are going to so many countries, and some countries cannot be visa-free. It's your first time going abroad, so you have to sort these things out. Otherwise, you will be stuck, which will not only delay your time, but also affect your mood for fun."

Gu Heng smiled upon hearing this.
Of course he knew that there were very few countries in China that offered visa-free or on-arrival visas. Since he was going to travel abroad, how could he not be prepared?
Then he took out a visa book that he had just received in the morning and had not had time to put away, and pushed it in front of Jiang Wen: "I asked someone to help me get this passport. I can travel freely to most countries in the next five years."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Wen cast his eyes towards the blue certificate on the table.
"UN passport?"

It's not surprising that Jiang Wen knows this book about Gu Heng.
It's not something very precious.
Gu Heng's United Nations passport was applied for by American Express, and it took less than half a month in total.
There have been people online saying how awesome this passport is, and even saying that only three people in the country, namely Ma, Leon Lai, and Jet Li, have this passport. This is pure nonsense.
Lao Ma's red passport is really awesome.
After all, the Red Book is generally only issued to senior officials of governments around the world, and it also has a series of powers such as diplomatic immunity.
But what about the blueprint?
Even many volunteers who go to the United Nations to work have
It's not that precious at all.
The only difference is that the passports of volunteers who participate in the work have more restrictions, such as they cannot be used during non-working hours, they must be handed in for safekeeping, and so on.
Gu Heng doesn't need this.
This passport was specially applied for Gu Heng by American Express. It is visa-free for 224 countries around the world, and does not even require entry security check.
The passport is valid for 5 years and will expire after five years, but as long as Gu Heng is still an American Express black card user, he can continue to apply.

Jiang Wen took the passport in his hand, flipped through it, and put it back on the table. He smiled and gave Gu Heng a thumbs up: "Awesome, you can get this thing too."

"Okay, it's not something amazing. If you want it, can't you just do it easily?"

Jiang Wen rolled his eyes and complained, "Forget it. Of course I can get it done, but do you know how troublesome it is? I have to run around to find connections and donate to the United Nations charity department, just for a crappy passport.

It’s so troublesome. I might as well just apply for a visa for the country I want to go to. How easy is that? It only takes a few minutes.”

Gu Heng didn't say much after hearing this.

This thing is originally a matter of convenience. If it weren't for the relationship with American Express, I guess my mentality would be similar to Jiang Wen's.

As for Ye Lei.
I don't care about this anymore.
With his status as a third-generation, if he really wanted it, let alone the blue copy, even a red copy would not be a big problem. He just continued chatting with the two of them with a faint smile, waiting for the bodyguards to arrive.
