Chapter 299: Heroes

The magnificent hall, the crowd in beautiful clothes. Food, wine and beautiful women are full of charm in the laughter.
Lin Rui was a little uncomfortable with this place, just as he was unaccustomed to his rigid suits. Long Zhengwu looked at him and smiled, "Why, don't you experience such occasions?"
"It's not that I have experienced it, but I have never experienced it." Lin Rui said slowly, "These people make me nervous."
"It's right to be nervous, because the people here are not good things." Long Zhengwu smiled and said, "No matter how well-dressed you are, you can't change this. This is the cruelest group of people in the world."
Jiang An nodded and said, "The people who really eat people without spitting out bones are not on the battlefield, but the vested interests behind the war. In a sense, this is also the battlefield." He put on his gown and glasses. , Looks very graceful.
Long Zhengwu smiled, holding the wine glass and whispered, "Jiang An, take him to get familiar with this."
Jiang An nodded, and led Lin Rui to wander around the hall chatting casually. "Have you seen that person?" Jiang An asked Lin Rui with a wink.
"What's the matter?" Lin Rui frowned slightly and followed his eyes. A tall middle-aged man was talking and laughing among several people.
"He is the representative of Deyang Group. This company is very large. The largest U.S. military logistics contractor is basically responsible for the maintenance and transportation of U.S. military aircraft. They also have security contracts and security work for the Afghan military and political leaders. It was done by the U.S. Department of Foreign Affairs to hire contractors from the Deyang Group. On the surface, it appears to be a very regular company, but in fact, some troubled areas in Africa and South America also have their secret figures." Jiang An said slowly.
"Deyang Company? I've heard that they are also the giants in the international mercenary industry." Lin Rui nodded.
"The woman next to him is even more serious. She belongs to Titan. This company was founded in San Diego in 1981 and is a major supplier of national security and homeland security products. The main business includes: homeland security and the war on terrorism; for the US military And the Allied Forces provide the c4isr system. The customers are mostly defense intelligence and other government law enforcement agencies. Annual sales revenue exceeds 2 billion U.S. dollars and 12,000 employees. Businesses in 12 countries around the world. The company is also listed on the New York Stock Exchange." Whisper.
"It's another private military tycoon." Lin Rui couldn't help but smiled bitterly. "Compared with them, we are nothing short of a fight."
"But compared to the big guy in front, they are nothing. If they are a giant, then this one in front can be said to be a prehistoric giant." Jiang An smiled, "Lockheed Martin, they are in The world’s largest defense industry contractor in terms of turnover. Controls one-third of the aviation industry in the United States. But unlike us, they play high-end industries. At best, we can only be regarded as labor."
"I study too little, so I can only be a coolie." Lin Rui touched his nose and said, "Which number of these people can Morningstar rank in?"
"In terms of military services, Morningstar is at least among the top five. But in terms of financial resources, it certainly cannot be compared with giants like Lockheed Martin and Boeing. Long Zhengwu is right. This is a military club. It is also a group of business men chasing the interests of war." Jiang An said indifferently.
"Aren't we the same?" Lin Rui said slowly.
"Yeah, we are too, and they are far less strong." Jiang An whispered, "Let's go, I will show you around. You must learn to fit into this circle. Otherwise, you will be treated as an alien.
Holding a glass of wine, Long Zhengwu walked into the crowd and greeted many people. Not many in the crowd didn't recognize him, and just smiled at him politely. But those who knew him did not change colorlessly, and their expressions became extremely solemn.
Finally, the representative of the Deyang Group walked into the crowd and smiled and said, "Everyone, our gathering today is mainly to welcome a new member. This new member is really mysterious enough, in just a few I got the highest level of military contract qualification within a month. But even I don’t know who he is. I didn’t recognize him until just now and our old friend Mr. Long Zhengwu is back."
Almost all the crowd fell silent, and everyone's eyes focused on the fat man.
Long Zhengwu smiled and walked out with a helpless expression, "I'm actually not a mystery, especially to some old friends. At best, it can be a little low-key. You know I'm a Chinese, and most Chinese are relatively humble. ." His words caused some laughter.
"Mr. Long, but I'm very surprised. As far as we know, you have been away for a long time. Why do you come back?" The beauty representing Titan Company smiled.
"Uh, maybe because the profit of my fast food restaurant is too thin. But my stomach is very blessed. There is no way, in order to keep my figure from being hungry and thin, I can only come back to my job." Long Zhengwu Holding his beer belly solemnly.
"I object." Joe finally separated the crowd and walked out. He sneered. "This Mr. Long is one of the board members of our Morningstar Company. Now he actually reappears here as the Black Island Military Company. It seems Not quite appropriate."
Long Zhengwu looked at Joe and smiled slightly, "I don't know what you mean by improper? Everyone here may have more than one company? There are many or even holding shares of several large companies at the same time. This is nothing new. Besides, becoming a member of the management committee means obtaining the highest level of military contracting qualifications. This rule has never changed, right?"
"Huh, then I'm going to ask you. Whose interests does this Mr. Long standing here represent? Is it Morningstar or your unknown Black Island company?" Qiao said coldly.
"What's the difference?" Long Zhengwu smiled, "Whether it is Morningstar or Black Island, they are all members of this circle, and the purpose of our initial establishment of this management committee is to eliminate internal conflicts and maintain common interests. From In terms of business, we may be competitors, but from the standpoint of the committee, our interests are the same."
"Mr. Long's words are indeed very reasonable, and the purpose of the management committee is indeed the same. Joe, this is a business field, and the business field must have business rules. We don't care about the contradictions between Morningstar and Black Island, but you It cannot be used as a reason to attack Mr. Long. This is the rules of the management committee." The representative of Lockheed Martin walked out with a smile and extended his hand to Long Zhengwu, "Mr. Long, welcome to join."
Joe's face became a little ugly. He knew the background and strength of Lockheed Martin. Since they speak in support of Long Zhengwu, there is no doubt that Long Zhengwu and Heidao will enter the management committee. Sure enough, representatives of some large military companies stepped forward to congratulate Long Zhengwu.
