Korean TV series: King of Peninsula 1997

Chapter 459: Interest comes first
"Miss Amy can just contact the executive in the United States for this matter," Li You said calmly. "Kinmen is an independent private military company in the United States. They are responsible for these formal businesses independently."

"As long as the pay is high enough, they will take on the mission."

Amy didn't expect Li You to give such an explanation, "."

The CIA is aware of this. Now Kinmen Heavy Industries in Suriname is almost a state-owned enterprise. After the American Kinmen Company settled there, it recruited countless retired soldiers with high salaries.

This time it is said that the CIA is recruiting combatants, but in fact it is because this operation will be the first time that a large-scale army force will be deployed to fight in Afghanistan, and a large number of people will be required.

In addition to Golden Gate USA, they also recruited personnel from multiple companies across the United States.

Amy nodded, "The reward is definitely no problem."

The coalition forces were unwilling to sacrifice more lives of regular troops, so naturally they had to invest more money to recruit more people.

They help train the Afghan Army for this very purpose.

"That's no problem," Li You shrugged. "Miss Amy, just go talk to him."

Stopping the call with Amy, Li You frowned and dialed Yin Jijun's number.

He is in Afghanistan, so it is impossible for us to meet in person. We can only communicate over the phone.

"Why is our Chairman Li calling?" Yin Jijun smiled, "Do you miss your military career?"

"That's not the case," Li You heard a familiar voice, and after exchanging a few pleasantries with Yin Jijun, he got to the point, "Has there been any anaconda action recently?"

"You know?" Yin Jijun sighed, "You are really well-informed."

"Yes, but it is still a classified operation. Only the commanders of our countries in Afghanistan have been notified."

Speaking of which, Yoon Ji-jun was also a little curious, "How did you know?"

"If it's inconvenient to say it, don't say it."

"It's from the CIA," Li You said. "They need some fighters and want to hire them from Kinmen, USA."

“Oh,” Yoon Jijun frowned, “I almost forgot that you opened a mercenary company in the United States.”

Li You did not correct him but continued to listen to him.

"But this operation did mobilize a large number of troops," Yin Jijun added, "Anyway, I suspect that they want to recruit cannon fodder, and calling them combatants is just a cover-up."

"We, the logistics countries, have all agreed not to send soldiers to participate in combat operations. The US military outside has already begun training the Afghan army, and there are probably thousands of people being trained."

Li You understood. He nodded and changed the subject. "How is the 707th Squadron? Is it reliable?"

"Well," Yin Jijun thought for a moment, "I think it's still a little worse than UDI (Navy All-Weather Special Strike Team)."

"There's a saying that goes, you can tell who the more elite ones are by looking at the number of people," Yin Jijun shook his head, "But it may be that I still prefer UDI in my heart."

Yin Jijun looked at the young man who walked into the tent and waved his hand gently to ask him to wait. "Besides, the funds of the 707th Brigade are much more abundant than those of UDI. They are almost willing to spend all their money."

He glanced at the soldier in the black beret in front of him, and a smile appeared on his face. "I have a very good young man here. Can I bring him over to you for examination later?"

It was a strange thing to say, but Yoon Gil-jun thought that Lee Woo's method of testing young people was excellent.

At the beginning, Xu Dayong, the guard who didn't obey anyone, was completely obedient after being beaten up by Li You downstairs of his house that day. Now there is another Liu Shizhen.

Hearing what Yin Jijun said, Li You directly declined, "It's not convenient for me to do it now."

"That's right," Yin Jijun said with some regret, "It's really not appropriate for you with your identity. Anyway, if you want to ask about the Anaconda Operation, if you have those unimportant people under you, then send them to try out the cruelty here. If they are guys you value more, it's better not to bring them."

“True gold certainly needs to be refined by a great fire, but this fire does not need to be a great fire,” Yoon Ji-jun frowned as he looked at the sand and dirt that blew in from outside the tent.

They both understood. After hanging up the phone, Yin Jijun looked at the handsome guy in front of him and asked, "What are you doing?"

"Operation Anaconda," Liu Shizhen was puzzled, "Why don't you let us participate?"

"We are the logistics support force."

"." Liu Shizhen is still very young and doesn't have that many thoughts. "We, 707, are not here to do logistics."

“I think you’re crazy,” Yoon Gil-jun poked the captain’s chest, “Are you proud of being promoted after only three years in the army?”

Yoo Shi Jin stood at attention and lowered his head, "No, sir!"

"War is not a good thing," Yoon Ji-jun looked him up and down, then patted him hard. "If you die, how can I explain to your family?"

"I won't die!"

“You sound very passionate,” Yoon Ji-jun snorted coldly. The more he looked at Yoo Shi-jin, the more difficult it seemed to him.

Liu Shizhen, who graduated early from the Army Academy, is undoubtedly a talent. He is also a very passionate soldier with excellent personal combat capabilities. He was already a top shooter in school and has the talent of a commander.
Another point is that Yoon Ji-jun knows this guy's father.

Although his father is an ordinary sergeant, he has been in the army for a very long time and has not retired yet and is still in the army.

Moreover, during an operation, Yoo Shi-jin's father saved Yoon Gil-joon's life.

This gave Yin Jijun even more headaches.

"I'm going to say something I shouldn't say. Your mother died early, and Liu Yuanshi (South Korean sergeant major) worked hard to raise you, and you and your father have a very good relationship."

Yoon Gil-jun said earnestly, “I know you want to prove your father wrong, but things are different now than they were in school and training.”

Yoo Shi Jin's father once said something very realistic, which happened when Yoo Shi Jin joined the army.

He laughed at Yoo Shi Jin's dream, saying that no one would promote a guy like Yoo Shi Jin with no background to be a general?

In fact, it was just a harsh word. Father Liu just didn't want Liu Shizhen to work so hard just to climb up the ladder.

Yoon Ji-jun solemnly reminded Yoo Shi-jin, "Don't do anything without orders. This is not South Korea."

Liu Shizhen sighed. Although he was dissatisfied with not being able to participate in the war, he still had some rationality.

“I won’t, General.” Yoo Shi Jin stepped on the gravel with his military boots and mentioned Yoon Gil Joon’s phone call. “Did you call Li You?”

He heard what Yin Jijun said and asked the other party to test himself.

As far as he knew, his good friend Xu Darong was tortured badly in the past few years. Anyway, according to Xu Darong's oral statement, Li You was like a non-human.

“You have pointy ears,” Yoon Ji-jun glanced at him, “Are you itching to do it?”

Seeing Liu Shizhen nod, Yin Jijun waved his hand and let him go out, "I will take you there after returning to China, but whether you can try it depends on you."

He lowered his head and pretended to handle work. He looked up when he saw Liu Shizhen leave, with a secret smile on his face.

Even Yoo Shi-jin's close combat skills might not be a match for Seo Dae-young. With this level, he went to find Lee Woo not because he wanted to do something, but because he was just itching for something. Yoon Ji-jun shook his head and threw the document on the table. This was already the logistics department, there was nothing important about it.

He walked out the door, looked at the gravel everywhere, raised his hand to cover his eyes, "The storm is coming."

An hour later, An Shangjiu in Kinmen, USA called Li You, also reporting the matter and asking him how to proceed.

The matter was of great importance, and An Shangjiu did not dare to make a decision on his own.

Li You’s idea was very simple. There would indeed be sacrifices when sending people this time, and there might be a lot of sacrifices, but what would go along with it was the brand of the American Kinmen Company.

To put it bluntly, private military contractors want to make money and also make a name for themselves in war.

It has to be easy to use so that more people will use it in the future. Only with fame and money can we recruit more elites.

It's a simple logic, Li You has no reason not to do this business.

Even the future famous American Blackwater, one of the three major private security companies cooperating with the US State Department.

When it was first established, there were only six people. After the 911/ incident, the business began to grow rapidly.

From 2002 to 2005, turnover will increase six hundred times.

As of 2007, it had become one of the largest private security companies in the United States.

It even had more than a thousand employees working in Iraq, and the main factor behind Blackwater's rapid rise was the two long wars.

The war in Afghanistan lasted for twenty years, and the war in Iraq lasted for seven years, which are the biggest development opportunities for private military contractors.

According to rumors, at that time in its previous life, it had already received mission contracts worth more than one billion US dollars from the US government.

After receiving Li You's order, An Shangjiu went to discuss cooperation matters with Amy.

The war brings more than just these disturbances, there are also more important interests.

Since the 1980s, the world gold price has begun to fall slowly, from a peak of more than $800 per ounce to the current more than $200 per ounce.

There was a slight upward trend at the beginning of this year, but it still remained below three hundred.

But Li You remembered very clearly that this year was just the beginning.

Starting from the Iraq War next year, gold will start a big bull market, and will rise from US$300 to US$1,800 in ten years.

This is hard currency.

The Internet bubble in the millennium directly led to the US economy entering a recession.

When the economy goes into recession, the Federal Reserve has begun cutting interest rates since the millennium in order to stimulate the economy.

In 2001, the United States suffered the largest terrorist attack in its history. As the economy deteriorated further, the Federal Reserve chose to cut interest rates again.

The war and the Federal Reserve’s super-loose monetary policy during this period will usher in a bull market in gold.

With both sides moving forward in parallel, the Kinmen Group will seek benefits that cannot be measured by data.

Li You quickly summoned some senior executives of Shunyang Securities and senior executives of the financial department of Kinmen Group.

Orders were issued to both to start making preparations in their gold accounts to start buying physical gold without affecting the market.

Since gold is a stable asset, it has been very stable since the big drop in the 1980s, and now there is some upward trend. None of the senior executives present had any objection.

Instead, Chen Yajun noticed something else.

After waiting for everyone else to leave, Chen Yajun gracefully put down the documents in his hand. The black women's suit on his body outlined his exquisite figure perfectly.

Under the trousers, a pair of long and straight beautiful legs were not exposed, but the trouser legs swayed slightly with her steps.

From the ankles, one can see that the feet exposed under the trousers are covered by a thin layer of black stockings. The faint luster of the stockings exudes an alluring texture under the sunset outside the floor-to-ceiling windows.

Chen Yajun hung his suit jacket on the hanger, revealing the white silk satin shirt he had specially changed into before going out, and locked the door.

Chen Yajun pursed her red lips, and her light makeup set off her usually cold temperament, but her eyes were gentle as water, and she walked towards Li You in high heels.

She shook her head slightly, and her long wavy black hair fluttered in the wind, with slightly curled ends, emitting bursts of fragrance.

"Da da da."

Every step of the high heels made a sound, until Chen Yijun stood in front of Li You.

Chen Yajun stepped out of her high heels, but put on no shoes. Her bare black silk toes curled up slightly, and she still felt a little uneasy.

Li You was quickly attracted by her next action.

She quickly showed her straight and beautiful legs. It was hard to see clearly through her trousers, but now she was wrapped in a very thin layer of black stockings. Her legs looked even more slender in the black stockings, and they were shining slightly in the setting sun.

"."

After a long time, Chen Yajun curled up in Li You's arms. Her hair was a little messy, her makeup was a little smudged, and the tear marks at the corners of her eyes were clearly visible.

Chen Yijun turned his eyes away from Li You and looked down at his legs.

On that pair of slender white legs, traces of the tightly wrapped stockings could be vaguely seen. Her fingers unconsciously rubbed her legs for a while, and she reached out to grab the wine glass on the table.

There was a bottle of red wine on the table, and one of the wine glasses was empty.

Li You picked up the bottle and poured her a glass. Chen Yajun took the glass, tilted his head back and drank the last sip, then poured another glass.

"Shunyang Securities." Chen Yajun hesitated for a moment and asked.

Li You stroked her back and said with a smile, "If that's all you want to ask, you don't have to be so proactive."

"Two different things," Chen Yijun rolled his eyes, "They are really two different things."

"War is coming," Li You's words almost made Chen Yijun shiver.

"Don't get excited," Li You held her down, "It's not the war here, it's in Afghanistan."

"." Chen Yajun was silent for a moment, wanting to say that Li You didn't speak completely.

Li You patted her on the shoulder and said, "The U.S. will cut interest rates again, and gold will have a long bull market that will last at least five years."

Chen Yijun suddenly realized.

"War brings much more than just this," Li You said with a deep look in his eyes, "there is much more."
