Chapter 51

When it comes to money, and such a big acquisition by the company, we have to talk face-to-face.

Frank rushed back to the company and started selling his company to Gao Guang in his office.

"Here are the company's assets. We can talk after you've looked at them."

Gao Guang took a list of King Defense Company's assets, and after careful study, he finished reading it in one minute.

To read the uncut version, go to pawread dot com.

Because King Defense Company's asset list was too short, there were only four cars, each discounted by ten thousand dollars, sixteen taser guns, twelve sets of bulletproof vests, five handguns, four shotguns, and four AR rifles. The company headquarters had only nine months left on the lease.

There were eleven employees, two of whom had already resigned, Rubber and George. Gao Guang's name was also on the employee list, as well as Frank and John's.

That means there will soon be only seven employees left, including Gao Guang.

King Defense Company's business scope includes home security, providing security services to paying families, as well as personal bodyguard services, which are legal businesses registered with the police station. However, King Defense Company's most valuable part is the PMC business qualification recognized by the Ministry of Defense.

If it only had the first two items, King Defense would be just a security company with no sales value. However, with the last qualification recognized by the Ministry of Defense, it means that King Defense Company can undertake outsourcing business for the Ministry of Defense, which means taking on some of the military's functions and making big money from the Pentagon.

Although it is much smaller than Blackwater, King Defense's business qualification puts it on the same starting line as big companies like Blackwater.

"King Defense Company was arranged for me by Mr. Smith. He helped me obtain the qualification of a certified military contractor by the Ministry of Defense. Do you know how difficult it is to obtain this qualification?"

Frank looked very serious, tapping the asset list that Gao Guang had put down and said seriously, "Although King Defense Company has no fixed assets and has poor operating conditions, we have the qualification to participate in government tenders. With just this, King Defense Company's value is immeasurable."

Gao Guang scratched his head, then whispered, "But... I know almost nothing about this industry. It's no problem for me to work for you, but to buy King Defense and become my own boss, I don't know how to do it."

After a moment of silence, Frank looked serious and said, "Just learn. It's simple. I believe you'll be able to handle it soon."

Not wanting to get bogged down in the current topic with Frank, Gao Guang thought for a moment and said seriously, "Captain, why don't you sell King Defense to Caps?"

"Caps won't work. If the company gives it to him, it will only bankrupt him. In terms of management, he's not as good as me."Gao Guang smiled bitterly, "Uh, then sell it to someone else."

Frank waved his hand and said, "I can't sell it to someone else. This is my hard work, I can't hand it over to others."

Gao Guang cautiously said, "Actually, you can't sell it, right?"

Frank fell silent.

Before Frank could come up with more reasons, Gao Guang hurriedly said, "I think the King Defense Company is just selling a certificate, right? The most valuable thing in this company is this certificate. I'm not sure what's going on in the United States, but in China, it's like a taxi. The license plate of a taxi is worth more than the car itself."

Frank frowned, "What does that have to do with a taxi?"

"It's the same, let me finish. The most valuable thing in King Defense is the business qualification certified by the Ministry of Defense. That means, after I buy the King Defense Company, if I want to make money, I have to contract business from the Ministry of Defense. But I don't think I can get any business from the Ministry of Defense, so buying King Defense is meaningless to me."

Without fixed assets or fixed investments, King Defense is actually a shell company. Gao Guang realized that although the business license should be worth some money, it is useless to him.

Frank sighed lightly and said, "Okay, it seems you refuse. Hmm, I'll ask someone else."

Gao Guang couldn't help but say, "Sorry, you know my financial situation. If this company is worth one million dollars, I can't afford it."

"I only need 150,000, no, if you buy it, I only need 125,000."

Gao Guang's remaining money is also about 125,000, and now this money is still in Frank's hands, which means that Frank's offer is very accurate.

Seeing Gao Guang's stunned expression, Frank appeared somewhat unnatural. He lowered his head and said, "I need to repay debts and bank loans. Now my funding gap is about 200,000 US dollars. Uh, if you are willing to acquire the company, then my money can basically be raised."

"You, you... can't sell it?"

Gao Guang didn't dare to speak too much, he was afraid that he wouldn't get his money back.

Frank sighed and then said seriously, "Listen to me, the business scope and business qualifications of King Defense Company are indeed very valuable, worth one million dollars. However, but..."

"Those who can get the certificate themselves won't buy it from you, and those who need to buy the certificate from you basically don't have the ability to operate this company. So this valuable license is not easy to sell. You need a long time to find a buyer, but you obviously can't wait. Then, as a newcomer, I am the only person who might buy your company."

"Do you want to buy it?"Gao Guang sighed and said, "First tell me why you and John are dissatisfied with Warfire Company and why you both advised me not to join."

Frank fell silent, thought for a long time, and finally said, "Because Warfire Company is now just a company, not a team, not a united team."

"John said the same thing, but isn't that how companies are? You must have experienced something, tell me what happened."

Frank whispered, "The last time we fought for Warfire, our assault team had seven people in total and attacked a building occupied by the enemy. We went in, but there were too many enemies inside, so we got trapped."

Looking up, Frank's face was gloomy, and he said coldly, "If Mr. Smith led Warfire, he would spare no effort to rescue us, but Danny is different. He thinks that forcibly rescuing us seven people would require too many casualties, so he did not rescue us but let us break out on our own."

Gao Guang also found this unacceptable, so he said seriously, "This won't do, I can't accept it either."

"Only John and I survived out of the seven people, and the other five died."

Taking a long sigh, Frank continued, "After breaking out, I went to settle accounts with Danny. He said that all seven of us died in battle, so he would pay compensation for seven people, but if he rescued us, he might have to pay compensation for twenty to thirty people. From the company's perspective, not rescuing us is obviously the best choice."

Gao Guang was stunned and said, "How can this be! Can a PMC company owner say such things? If Danny's words were known, Warfire Company would go bankrupt!"

"Warfire Company belongs to Mr. Smith, not Danny, so John and I won't reveal this secret to anyone."

After being stunned for a while, Gao Guang said, "But then, will anyone be willing to take on dangerous tasks for Warfire Company?"

"Give enough money, and there will naturally be people willing to take on dangerous tasks. Some people want money more than their lives."

After saying this helplessly, Frank said to Gao Guang, "In Danny's eyes, there are no brothers, only names on the company's roster, and these employees' names are just numbers. Death is a number, and disability is another number. The choice is based on interests. Now Danny won't personally go into battle, but his subordinates will also be of this style. So if you don't want to be a number that can be thrown away at any time, don't join Warfire."

This kind of company can't be called a team, and it does make people feel repulsed.

But Warfire Company pays too much money.

Without talking about ideals or feelings, just speaking with money, the key is that it is a company that can still give enough money, which is a good company.So now Gao Guang actually wants to join the Warfire.

Looking at Gao Guang's expression, Frank seemed to have guessed something. He sighed and said, "You're different. You're not the kind of person who only cares about money. When you went to save Caps in a suicidal manner, I knew you weren't the kind of person who could be reduced to just numbers. So Warfire isn't suitable for you."

Gao Guang smiled and said, "Well, that's not necessarily true."

Frank was stunned for a moment and had nothing to say. He slowly withdrew the asset list from the table, which was just a piece of paper.

"It seems like you don't need the King Defense Company anymore because you, Rubber, and Joey can choose Danny's style."

After saying this lightly, Frank reached out his hand to Gao Guang and smiled, "Good luck."

Gao Guang didn't rush to shake hands with Frank. He whispered, "Can you let me think about it again? I'll give you an answer later."

At this moment, Gao Guang's phone rang. It was a call from Rubber, so Gao Guang didn't feel comfortable answering it.

Frank shook his head helplessly and said, "Answer the phone. I know what you're going to do. Rubber has already told me. Although our positions and values ​​are different, at least we won't hide anything from each other."

Gao Guang answered the phone and heard Rubber say anxiously, "I'll pick you up at the company. Danny has arrived. Prepare your things for the assessment."

After hanging up the phone, Gao Guang looked a little embarrassed and whispered to Frank, "I'm going to meet Danny, but I may not join Warfire. Of course, I may not be able to pass Danny's assessment either."

Frank shrugged and said, "Good luck."
