Chapter 1449: Indigenous countries are not counted as other countries
Jiangnan Tianshui Bodyguard Company, like more than twenty other companies with bodyguard business licenses in the Tang Empire, is also wholly owned by the Ministry of State-owned Enterprises. Retired military generals serve as top management, retired officers serve as grassroots management, and its ordinary employees are also
They are all retired soldiers.
However, over the years since its establishment, the company has always had a hard time!
Logically speaking, having a bodyguard business license, they should be doing well, but the fault lies in the location of their company. Their company is established in Suzhou.
Because after discussions between the Ministry of State-owned Enterprises and the military, a bodyguard company was set up on every provincial highway, and multiple additional bodyguard companies were set up in key cities with a large business volume.
The Tianshui Bodyguard Company was established as a bodyguard company in Jiangnan Road at that time. However, Suzhou is next door to Shanghai, and there are three bodyguard companies in Shanghai.
The most famous one is Baishui Bodyguard Company!
This means that Tianshui Bodyguard Company needs to compete with Baishui Bodyguard Company and the other two bodyguard companies at the same time!
Then, the management of this company in the early years was not very business-savvy, and they could not compete with other bodyguard companies using commercial methods!
As a result, the market share of Tianshui Bodyguard Company has been falling again and again. Today, its business scope is basically limited to the most basic and lowest-profit ordinary security business, and even the security business of those big families, rich and powerful
Their personal bodyguard business was taken away one after another.
As for the most lucrative overseas escort business, they have never had any contact with it from beginning to end!
Most of this overseas escort business has been occupied by Baishui Company, and the rest has been divided up by other companies. However, Tianshui Bodyguard Company has been the most profitable overseas escort company for so many years.
The market is being profited by peers, but I can't make a dime.
Last year, Tianshui Bodyguard Company lost orders from several large companies in succession, and its business suffered such heavy losses that it was almost impossible to pay its employees' salaries.
In the end, the Ministry of State-owned Enterprises couldn't stand it any longer, so it carried out a purge of the original management and hired Sun Kaiyi, a former Army major general who had just retired last year, as the general manager.
However, at this time, the Tianshui Bodyguard Company was actually in shaky state, and even its employees' companies were unable to issue information.
In the end, Sun Kaiyi followed the path of some of his colleagues and friends when he was in the service, and borrowed a sum of money from the Imperial Development Bank. This was able to barely sustain him, and then he actively started business. Even though there was some improvement in the past year, the one-year period was still not good.
The loan is about to expire, but Tianshui Bodyguard Company can come up with such a large amount of money to repay the loan!
More importantly, after carefully reviewing the company's accounts and business, the Imperial Development Bank concluded that the company was already insolvent. If it weren't for the company's special status, it was the kind of company that couldn't go bankrupt even if it wanted to.
, this company has already entered bankruptcy proceedings.
Although the Empire State Development Bank is a bank wholly owned by the Ministry of State-owned Enterprises, it is also a serious commercial bank and must be responsible for the safety of its own funds, so it simply refused to continue borrowing and used new loans to repay old loans. Well, people
I am also counting on the Ministry of State-owned Enterprises or the local finance department of Gangnam Province to provide support so that I can successfully recover the money I borrowed last year.
This day happened to be extremely difficult. Sun Kaiyi learned that the Holy Emperor was going to ennoble nobles on a large scale. All the bodyguard companies were like sharks that smelled the smell of blood. They pounced on them. Sun Kaiyi's Tianshui Bodyguard Company was no exception.
Seize the last bit of life!
There are successful cases of White Water Company. Do these bodyguard companies know that this overseas security business is a business that can make a lot of money?
However, after the Jiangnan Tianshui Bodyguard Company went to several nobles who had obtained fiefdoms, everyone was very happy when they heard that they had hundreds of elite guards. However, when they heard that the Tianshui Company had to pay commissions in advance to repay the loan and pay
When it comes time to pay employees, everyone starts to chase them away.
I haven't even started doing this yet, but I want to get the full commission. How can there be such a good thing in the world?
Tianshui is not the only bodyguard company in this empire, there are twenty more. If your Tianshui company goes bankrupt, it will go bankrupt. Anyway, there is an official financial backstop.
Fang Dongquan also had the same idea. When he heard that the commission would be paid in advance, he was ready to serve tea to see the guests off. This was not to say that he was afraid that he was a liar. No matter how good the Tianshui Bodyguard Company was, it was also an enterprise of the Ministry of State-owned Enterprises and had something to do with the military.
Close contact, besides, there are really not many people in the world who dare to deceive him, Marquis Lü Nan!
Now, although he has completely retired from the military and is not even considered a reserve, he is still the founding father of the country and the Marquis of Lu Nan of the Empire. He is among them at the annual New Year's state banquet. During the holidays, the rewards from the palace are always there.
No less.
After cheating him and irritating him, he handed a booklet to Sheng Tianzi's table. With such an old face and crying, could Sheng Tianzi still watch Fang Dongquan being deceived?
He just felt that this matter was inappropriate and gave away all the money before the matter was done. This is not how Fang Dong's family spent their money.
What's more, the employment fee is not a small amount, plus the cost of organizing immigration and development in the early stage. Even though Fang Dong's family is rich, the cash on hand is definitely not enough. In order to raise money to develop the fiefdom, he has already arranged manpower
The property has been sold off, and even several factories with good profits are ready to be sold.
The money he had collected in this way, such a large amount of money, had to be paid in full to Tianshui Company's employment fees. To be honest, he was reluctant to part with it.
That day, Sun Kaiyi from the water company saw Fang Dongquan's move to serve tea, and immediately said: "Master Hou, don't worry, we can still discuss the commission. On the basis of the original price, we can give you an additional 20% off!"
Then Sun Kaiyi said this, and sighed again: "Seeing that we are both from the army, please give us a hand!"
Hearing this, Fang Dongquan frowned slightly, and then said: "Cooperation is okay, but the commission is paid in advance and paid in full. I have never heard of such a rule!"
"There's nothing we can do about it. The bank is pressing for payment, and some of the brothers under me haven't seen their wages in two months!"
Hearing this, Fang Dongquan also sighed. This bodyguard company has joined the Tianshui company. It is estimated that there is no one among the more than 20 bodyguard companies in the country.
Over the past few years, what has happened to the management of this company? Even if they are idiots, they can still make money just by holding the special license of armed escort and being cared for by the military.
As a result, they were lucky, but they were half-dead and insolvent!
However, although they are all retired army generals, after all, Sun Kaiyi is still a member of the army, and Fang Dongquan also values the more than 600 elite guards they have on hand.
According to Sun Kaiyi's introduction, these more than 600 elite guards are not ordinary guards. Half of them are Marine Corps soldiers who retired this year, and the other half are retired soldiers who have served in the Bandan Garrison Regiment.
These people have all served in various regions of Southeast Asia for a long time. They are good at amphibious landing operations and fighting on Southeast Asian islands. In addition, they just retired this year. Most of them are still in good condition during their service period.
If they were to be dragged out, their combat power would be extremely high. It would not be an easy task to deal with the natives in Borneo.
Nowadays, there are still many indigenous forces in Borneo. There are indigenous kingdoms with confusing names such as Masen, Sanfa, Sukadana, Landak, etc. They were originally related to those on Java Island (Banten Island).
The indigenous kingdom Tammu Kingdom has some close ties and has a relationship of allegiance, but now Tammu Kingdom has long become history. Today's Banten Island is an overseas territory of the Tang Empire, and directly belongs to Bandan Prefecture's Bandan Continent.
So now the indigenous kingdoms in Borneo basically amuse themselves. In the early years, the Tang Dynasty was too lazy to fight them. It only controlled some coastal ports and established trading stations and supply ports, but it did not control the islands.
of indigenous kingdoms to attack.
It is worth noting that in fact, Fang Dongquan still doesn’t know what kind of country the indigenous people are in Borneo, how many troops they have, etc., but Fang Dongquan doesn’t care about this at all. This indigenous person and that indigenous person are not all indigenous, there is no difference.
.
Not only Fang Dongquan, but also the courtiers of the Tang Empire really didn't care much about the indigenous kingdoms on these Southeast Asian islands. Anyway, in their eyes, they were all the same, they were all barbaric natives.
But dealing with these indigenous people is actually a troublesome thing. This is not to say how powerful their military power is. In fact, the military strength of these indigenous kingdoms is very poor. But the problem is that the living environment in Nanyang is indeed not very good.
Many times when attacking these natives, the number of non-combat casualties far exceeds the combat casualties.
But it would be much easier if there were more than 600 armed guards from Tianshui Company who are good at fighting on tropical islands.
After thinking about it for a while, Fang Dongquan did not agree or refuse, but asked Sun Kaiyi to go back first so that he could think about it.
Immediately, Fang Dongquan called his staff to discuss it. At this time, the Tianshui Company also proposed that they could make a gentleman's agreement with the Fang family, that is, they promised to return home within three months of arriving in Borneo.
The large-scale resistance of the local indigenous people was basically eliminated, and the local armed forces were eliminated within half a year.
Although the licenses of these bodyguard companies in China only allow them to carry limited weapons to protect their employers, they are not allowed to initiate active attacks on others.
Overseas, these bodyguard companies are allowed to have the right to counterattack and self-defense under special circumstances in order to protect the safety of the employer's personnel and property, but this right to counterattack and self-defense does not include the ability to invade the territory of other countries.
But the problem is that the Tang Dynasty did not recognize these indigenous people as "other countries"!
