Back To 1995

   Chapter 394 Target

   "This is Jeffrey, the former senior manager of the technical department of Philip Morris Tobacco Company!"

  Andy Lake pointed to Jeffrey Wegener and said to Song Yang.

  Jeffrey Wegener and his wife all looked towards Song Yang. They had heard of Song Yang for a long time. At this time, they both looked at Song Yang with anticipation.

Now Philip Morris and the Tobacco Association are looking for the whereabouts of Jeffrey Wegener. In order to avoid letting him reveal too much inside information about the tobacco industry in front of the media, or even testify in court, Those tobacco giants can do anything.

   "Not only ICNC TV, but many more people will thank you for everything you are about to announce on TV!"

  Song Yang shook hands with Jeffrey Wegener and said, "Are you sure that there is real data from the tobacco company's laboratory?"

   In addition to Geoffrey Wegener's exposure to the nicotine in the tobacco industry on TV, the most important thing now is the experimental data in his hands.

Jeffrey Wegener nodded affirmatively, and then said, "Philip Morris Tobacco Company, as well as other big tobacco companies, have already obtained experimental data, nicotine in tobacco is not good for many kinds of human body. The important effects of overdose are addictive and lethal!"

   Hearing this, the staff of the Blackwater Company who came to the office unconsciously touched the cigarettes in their pockets.

For hundreds of years, it has been the same in almost the whole world. Tobacco is a hard currency during the war. It is also a high-pressure and high-intensity state. Like spirits, it is something that buffers nerves. , In the past, I didn't smoke these things. Every week, tobacco was regularly distributed as materials, and there was even a warehouse, which was specially used to store all kinds of tobacco and spirits.

   "Mr. Bruno," Jeffrey's wife said at this time, "If Jeffrey, say this on TV, can we get ICNC TV and your support?"

Industry whistleblowers have never had a good end. Even if Jeffrey Wegener's whistleblowers will be regarded as heroes by countless people, they will also gain public opinion for the ongoing investigation of America's tobacco companies. , But for Jeffrey and his family, after breaking the news, they will face retaliation from the tobacco giant, not even excluding physical means!

The judiciary in the states of America is also looking for tobacco companies, and this investigation has been going on for half a century. As early as the 1950s, it was pointed out in the medical industry that tobacco could cause heart disease and blood clots in the human body. After the influence, in the past few decades, there have been many lawsuits against tobacco companies in America, and of course they all lost.

If Jeffrey Wegener, a senior manager of a big tobacco company, broke the news, the shock would be huge, and even the investigation into the deadlocked tobacco company would enter a new stage. !

Jeffrey's wife, his eyes fixed on Song Yang. Song Yang's next words are related to the safety of their family. If Jeffrey can live for a few more decades, he will be able to write a memoir in his later years. , to tell the outside world that what happened to him this year was the most important decision he had ever made in his life, but it would only be possible for him to survive until then.

  Song Yang glanced at the Jeffrey Wegener couple and their children, and nodded solemnly.

Looking up at Gallo and Prince, the two saw Song Yang's gaze and immediately said to Jeffrey Wegener and his wife, "Blackwater Company will provide security for you, and you don't need to bear the cost. In the future, we will apply for federal protection for you!"

Song Yang took several passports from Gallo and used other identity documents, and finally a bank card, which he put in front of Jeffrey Wegener, "This is an overseas passport, you can choose Wherever you want to go, Blackwater will provide you with local identity and security, you can leave after the ICNC recording, and return to America when the time is right!

   And, in the future, ICNC TV station will ask Philip Morris for an apology and compensation for you, Jeffrey! "

  Jeffrey Wegener listened to Song Yang's words and the bank card worth five million dollars. The Jeffrey Wegener couple looked at each other and finally nodded.

After    came out of the office, Song Yang said to Gallo and Prince, "Do a good job in the security of the Jeffrey family, I don't want to hear bad news about them!"

   Looking at Song Yang's serious expression, Gallo and Prince nodded immediately, Prince said, "We will send the best personnel to provide Jeffrey and the others with the highest level of security!"

   Came to the conference room of the office building. When Song Yang, Gallo, Prince and others entered, the managers and supervisors of various departments of the Blackwater Company were already present, and the first meeting of the Blackwater Company officially started.

"Currently, Blackwater has more than 3,500 personnel, mainly including security personnel, bounty hunters and overseas mercenaries. Blackwater's business has also expanded to personal security, company security, event security, overseas military orders, private Prisons and investment in weapons and equipment!"

   The general manager of Blackwater Company talked to Song Yang, the major shareholder, and a group of executives about the situation of Blackwater Company.

  Although it is not too early to enter the industry, with Song Yang's large investment, coupled with Prince's connections and means, Blackwater Company has developed explosively, and its personnel have rapidly expanded like a snowball.

   "Since the Blackwater Company started operating, it has accumulated more than 700 contracted orders and revenue of more than 78 million US dollars, but it is still in a loss-making stage..."

The manager in charge of finance stood up and said, Blackwater seems to have a lot of live connections. It seems very good that the revenue has grown so fast in such a short time since its establishment, but the increase in personnel is too fast. Soldiers have fees, but they have to be paid enough, after all, they are all giving their lives for money.

Coupled with the two large training bases in North Carolina and New York, all kinds of equipment and public relations expenses, if you want to get overseas orders, you have to rely on the American defense agency. Now on Blackwater, A lot of defense managers have been invited to serve as consultants.

   These costs add up. If it weren't for the continuous investment of the North American Global Investment Fund, I am afraid that it would have been more than enough to make ends meet.

   But these are all worth it. After the establishment of the Blackwater Company, there are bounty hunters and security personnel, and there are at least a lot less of those who are scoundrels.

Just like Jeffrey Wegener this time, if there was no security from Blackwater Company, Song Yang probably wouldn't agree to let ICNC TV report on the inside story of tobacco. The ghost knows what those people will do, but With Blackwater Company, at least there is no need to worry too much about safety.

Song Yang listened to the reports of the heads of the major departments of Blackwater Company. From the book, Blackwater Company is of course a rising star in America's security industry, and its development is very rapid, but it is based on burning money. Once it stops burning money, Blackwater Company will be unable to sustain it in an instant.

   In addition, Blackwater Company has not yet made a famous work. Whether it is in America or overseas, the brand and popularity have not yet been established. For Blackwater Company, the next thing to do is to show its strength to the outside world.

  Prince is still a little dissatisfied with the current development speed of Blackwater Company, "Song, I think Blackwater Company should be more proactive, win more orders, and make Blackwater Company profitable as soon as possible!"

Prince himself is the second generation, of course, he understands that if Blackwater cannot make a profit for a long time, even with Song Yang's support, Blackwater cannot become the leader of the global security industry and join the Blackwater. Such companies entering the overseas mercenary department basically exchange their lives for money. Only with huge salaries can they recruit more capable personnel.

Hearing Prince's remarks about preparing for a big fight, Gallo couldn't help but say, "Blackwater's investment is already the largest company in America's security industry this year, and the uncertainty of overseas military orders is too high. Taller!"

Although they are both co-presidents, Gallo and Prince had a good relationship in the past, but Gallo was in charge of Blackwater's local business in America, focusing on security and bounty hunters. Responsible for the overseas business of Blackwater.

In the future, whether the Blackwater Company will develop internally in America, or will focus on overseas, this is where Blackwater has always been a bit tangled. Prince, who has a belligerent personality, of course wants to bring Blackwater to the overseas battlefield to fight. , and Gallo wants Blackwater to develop locally in America. Compared with overseas risks, America has a lot of orders and the risk is lower.

   "If it's just an ordinary security company, what's the point of establishing Blackwater?"

Prince raised his brows and asked Gallo with a tough attitude. When he agreed to join Blackwater, he was going to be a co-founder, but he didn't want to give money to Wall Street companies, parking lots, etc. There are stars and so on for bodyguards, that is not Prince's style.

  While Gallo and Prince were arguing, Song Yang, who had never spoken, tapped the table with his hand, and the meeting room fell silent for a while.

   "Overseas market is what Blackwater needs, and Blackwater can't give up on America's local security market!"

Song Yang ended the dispute between Gallo and Prince. Song Yang needed the Blackwater Company to have enough security personnel in America to warn those who wanted to go into the Blackwater secretly. In the overseas market, if the Blackwater Company could Being famous can improve the brand and popularity of Blackwater Company. Only by being famous on the battlefield can people feel threatened.

   "Blackwater Company, you can invest, or cooperate with other security companies in overseas markets!"

   Seeing that Prince was about to speak, Song Yang said to him, "Now when the Big Security Group starts to wear protective clothing to disguise itself, the Blackwater Company cannot stand on the open space and become a target!"

  Song Yang can trust Prince's ability, but as for his character and way of handling it, that's not necessarily true...
