Angel nodded, "I also understand, but the troops are currently expanding too quickly, the logistics department is understaffed, and there is not enough funding."
"If there is no manpower, it will be drawn from the newly replenished mercenaries, and the funds will be allocated from the headquarters." Lin Rui shook his head. "Without sufficient logistics support, it is impossible to become an army. Every soldier needs food and drink, salary, and training. Consume ammunition. No one is born a sharpshooter, let alone these African militiamen who are not even standard in shooting posture?
The stomachs of mercenaries need to be fed by bread, and their pockets must be filled with dollars to work hard, and their shooting level needs to be fed by bullets. So these have to rely on logistics supplies. Once there is a problem with logistics supplies, we can't do anything. So first follow your requirements to supplement the logistics unit. "
Angel nodded, "I think so too, but this time Black Panther Goulei recruited fighters."
"Don't worry about this, let's add it to the logistics unit." Lin Rui replied, "Once the Silver Wolf and the U.S. military reach an agreement, then in addition to entrusting training, we will also undertake a large part of the logistics tasks of the U.S. military base, so these logistics personnel It will be used sooner or later. But military training remains as usual. These people must be able to fight with guns, and they can run and transport to buy energy with the keys of the car."
Angel nodded, "This is fine, but we are still a little nervous about funding."
"Didn't you always keep track of the revenue and expenditure of the headquarters?" Lin Rui asked. "is there any problem?"
"In fact, we have made a lot of money, but we have invested a lot recently." Angel shook his head, "On the one hand, it is because of the recent expansion of the team, which is very costly. On the other hand, it is because the Panther Gure has been active recently, contacting some African countries. Head. You also know that those guys are either dictatorial warlords or tyrannical sectarians. To deal with them is to rely on bribes, ask for money and weapons, and have a big appetite.
In addition, some recent contract payments receivable have not been delivered in time. So there will be some pressure. But it is only temporary. Our capital operation will get better after a while. "
"The contract receivable is not in place, do you mean that someone still owes us money?" Lin Rui frowned.
"Yes, there are still at least four or five major projects that have not recovered funds. The most recent one was half a year ago." Angel said helplessly.
"I have never heard that private military companies have bad debts. The mercenaries are embarrassed to default on the money they spent their lives? Who is the other party?" Lin Rui frowned.
"They are all African warlords. Some have money but don't give it, and some really don't. Anyway, many of us are in arrears and the balance has not been paid yet." Angel nodded, "Silver Wolf and I have been urging them. These things have always been. Yes, but you can take it slowly when the funds are abundant, but now the expansion of the team has caused a shortage of funds. The seriousness of these debts was exposed at the beginning."
"How many debts are there in total?" Lin Rui asked.
"Preliminary statistics also have more than one billion US dollars, and other additional funds have not been counted." Angel replied.
"So many?" Lin Rui said in surprise.
"Yes, because all the contract funds paid in advance have been recovered. After these tasks are completed, the payment is somewhat in arrears, which is normal." Angel nodded.
"Okay." Lin Rui frowned. "It seems we have to take the initiative and dunning these customers."
"It has been urged, but it is of no use." Angel said. "Part of the contract belongs to General Logan. He has lost most of his territory now, and he only has Anmore City and some areas around it. If he wants to pay off our debts at once, he can't afford the rest. Some of the other people who owe arrears are able to repay, but they are in default."
"That's not good. This is money from the brothers' lives and must be recovered. From General Logan, contact him and let him repay it year by year. He also controls an oil well area and can pay back a little every year. As for the others, Make a list for me. Starting tomorrow, I will pursue one by one." Lin Rui looked at Angel and said.
"Is this a bit too haste, we can still maintain operation at the moment. Just wait a month or two, the capital situation can be alleviated, after all, some of them are old customers." Angel said a little helplessly.
"The more old customers are, the more you must let them understand that some money cannot be owed." Lin Rui shook his head, "I want a list of people who owe money, and the contract amount owed. Contact each of them, in this month At the end of the month, let them pay back all the money."
"Well, I will try my best. But what if they still don't pay it back then?" Angel asked.
"Then tell them that we will pursue it by force." Lin Rui waved.
"Rescue by force?" Angel frowned.
"Yes. Take General Logan as an example. If he doesn't pay, then he has to take things to repay the debt." Lin Rui replied. "Didn't he still have Anmore City? Does he have other oil well facilities? I will take people to occupy the oil well and sell oil directly until the oil sold is enough to cover their debts. As for other armed warlords, If I didn’t pay back the money, I would confiscated their weapons and materials and sold them for money.
Angel stunned, "They are all old customers. I'm afraid this is not suitable, right?"
"Business is business. If they owe money to the bank, the bank will also confiscate and freeze their assets." Lin Rui shrugged, "let these people understand that we are businessmen, not their friends. Don't worry, if they need to We will still come to us, whether we urge them or not. These African warlords are very practical. They need us because we can help them solve practical problems. It is not how good we treat them."
"Well, I'll make arrangements. What you said makes sense. If they are really willing to cooperate with the repayment, then we don't need to be under financial pressure. Let's see how many of them are willing to repay on time." Angel Nodded.
Lin Rui nodded, "Let the teaching team train these new recruits. Originally, I wanted to enrich them in the logistics unit. Now it seems that we have to train these guys into a vicious debt collection unit first."
"Don't worry, the people who teach the team are all veterans who have experienced many wars. The subordinates they train will not be bad. At that time, pulling out will be enough to make those warlords who owe money not repay the headache for a while." Angel laughed.
Lin Rui nodded and turned to look out the window. Several armed fishing boats in the distance were slowly passing by. The newly recruited mercenaries have all arrived at St. Kaiser Island.
