895: Chapter 885: Target, One Hundred Million.
After everyone had finally gathered, the door was closed and locked, Gao Yang whispered to the group that had formed a circle because there wasn’t enough room to sit, “Alright, now that everyone is here, there’s something we need to discuss.
Recently, Little Donnie and I just met with Mr.
Smith Tomler, and then, we struck a business deal.
Whether to take it or not, that’s up for all of us to decide.”
Li Jinfang looked up, wanting to speak.
He wanted to say that no matter where and what kind of mission, he was willing to accept it, but after some thought, he remained silent.
Seeing no one talking, Gao Yang said to Little Donnie, “Tell them about the situation.”
Little Donnie cleared his throat and said, “Here’s the deal, the mission is to transport a batch of goods from Baghdad to Aleppo, but once the goods enter Syria, the route and final destination might change at any time.
We don’t know what the cargo is, but after some analysis with Ram, it’s highly probable that it’s cash, banknotes.
Additionally, we don’t know who the employer is, because this mission was posted on behalf of them by Mr.
Tomler.
However, the one paying is from the Arab people, that’s the most Mr.
Tomler could reveal.
Ram and I think the employer is likely some wealthy financier who wants to fund the Rebel Army.
We won’t go into reasons, you all understand, but we can’t possibly know the true identity of the employer.
If this mission is successful, we’ll receive a 20 million USD commission, and there’s no need to pay a cut.
We’ll get an advance of Five million dollars.
If the mission succeeds, we’ll take Fifteen Million Dollars in cash back home from Syria.
If it fails, we don’t owe compensation, just need to return the advance.
Last, the requirement for this mission is to get to Baghdad as soon as possible.
Mr.
Tomler will take care of getting you there.
We won’t need to worry about transport for the equipment, because you will head to Iraq along with your gear.
Ram and I asked Mr.
Tomler for some preparation time, which he agreed to.
The plane will be ready in…”
After checking his watch, Little Donnie continued, “The plane will be ready in thirty-four hours, after which it will fly directly to Baghdad.
That’s the situation.”
Gao Yang nodded and asked, “What do you guys decide?”
Frey laughed, “We’ve been pretty lucky lately, eh?
Another big deal!
I’m more than happy to make a score on this one.”
Bruce laughed heartily, saying, “Is there even a question?
Of course, I’m in.”
No one disagreed, particularly Cui Bo, who said excitedly, “Awesome, I’ve always wanted to swing by Iraq.
How could you call yourself a mercenary if you haven’t been to Iraq?
Ha, this is our chance!”
After everyone had voiced their agreement, Gao Yang nodded, “Alright then, it’s unanimous.
We’ll take on the mission.”
Just then, Bruce suddenly said, “Boss, I have a suggestion.
May I speak?”
“Of course, go ahead!”
Bruce said loudly, “Guys, we’ve now got a goal.
How about we set up our large-scale private security company, what do you think?
After this mission, when we get our commission, let’s not divide it up.
That includes Little Donnie’s share.
Keep it all and use it as start-up capital for our security company.”
After saying this, Bruce waved his hand excitedly and continued, “Think about it.
We’ve got new members like Jansen who hasn’t earned much yet, and he’s eager to be involved in all our affairs.
Friends, if we don’t want to split up, if we want to keep the presence of Satan alive, then starting now, we keep the commission we earn.
According to each person’s share, we acquire company shares.
Of course, shares will have to be discussed later, but our stakes can be calculated based on the rightful share of the commission we’re due.
What do you think?”
Gao Yang thought for a moment and said, “Good idea.”
Comrades, perhaps the closest of relationships and the most painful to part from, especially comrades who have faced life and death together.
When the inevitable separation comes, it indeed is tough to bear.
If livelihood forces a divergence of paths, there’s nothing that can be done, but the people of Satan have the chance to maintain their friendship for life, to work together until death without ever needing to part.
It was an opportunity no one wanted to give up.
Everyone nodded in agreement, and Bruce continued, “We want to retire but don’t know when we’ll be able to do so.
Let’s set a target, say a hundred million.
Given our current rate of earning, we can definitely amass that much.”
Gao thought it over, he truly thought Bruce’s idea was excellent.
For one thing, having a set goal meant they could retire without looking for more excuses to continue their careers as mercenaries.
Gao was genuinely fearful that they would end up like Angel’s group, fighting purely for the sake of fighting.
After reflecting for a moment, Gao Yang said in a deep voice, “I think it’s a good idea, but we can’t be too rigid.
If someone wants to withdraw their money, of course, that must be very flexible.”
Glolov laughed, “The idea is great, I fully agree.”
Tommy nodded as well, “Correct, it sounds very good, and let’s use a hundred million as the target, what do you guys think?”
Frey scratched his head and said, “Isn’t that too little?
How about ten billion?”
Gao Yang slapped Frey on the head and scolded with a smile, “F**k, what are you dreaming about?
Earning ten billion through combat?
Have you lost your mind because of wishful thinking?
Those deals that come with thirty or twenty million are not easy to come by.
Alright, one billion it is, that’s the number, and it’s settled!”
After Gao Yang made the final decision, everyone burst into laughter.
At that moment, Gao Yang looked at his watch and said, “Time is tight.
Anyone who has something to do should hurry up and take care of it.
I’ll give you twenty-four hours.
We don’t need to change much of our equipment, leaving twelve hours to get our gear in order.
You are free to go for now.
Little Donnie, you’ll have to work hard.
You need to prepare clothing suitable for Iraq and Syria and also replenish our damaged bulletproof vests.”
After Gao Yang finished speaking, Andy He rushed to say, “Awesome, I need to get back to it.
I’ve got two women in my room who are about to explode if I wait any longer.”
Gao Yang kicked Andy He and scolded with a laugh, “You asshole, two?”
Andy He bragged proudly, “Our relationship is purely innocent, nothing to do with money at all.
Can’t help it when you are this charming.”
Gao Yang asked annoyedly, “Are you going to replace your gun or not?”
Andy He slapped his forehead in shock and exclaimed, “F**k, I actually forgot such an important thing!
No time to pick a new gun now, what should I do?”
The exasperated Gao Yang asked, “Asshole, what gun do you want to switch to?”
Andy He gestured casually and replied, “As someone trained in the NATO military system and just finished training in Israel, besides the FAMAS, what else could I use?
It has to be from the M4 series.
A short-barreled gun, since we already have enough with long barrels.
Most importantly, it has to be reliable, I don’t want to deal with jamming again.
Whether it’s an M4A1 or an M4A3 or something similar doesn’t really matter.”
Jansen laughed and said, “All right, you can use Jack’s creation, the HK416C, it fits your requirements exactly.”
Gao Yang nodded and said, “Perfect, problem solved.
Bruce, go test your car.
Andy He, you can choose to go back to your room or you can choose to go to Philadelphia with Jansen to pick up the gun.”
Andy He made a sour face and replied, “Can’t Jansen go by himself?”
Gao Yang shook his head and said, “No, because I’m worried you’ll get cold feet on the battlefield.”
After looking at Gao Yang and then at Jansen, Andy He held up one finger and pleaded pitifully, “Just one more hour, please?
Can you give me another hour, boss?”
Seeing the pathetic look on Andy He’s face, Gao Yang finally gave in and said, “Fine, fine.
It’s a rare opportunity, so I’ll give you some extra time.
But don’t expect Jansen to bring the gun back for you.”
Andy He immediately grinned and said, “How could I?
When it comes to guns, it’s always better to pick them out yourself, rest assured.
Wait for me, Jansen, I’m coming.”
After watching Andy He rush off, Gao Yang sighed with a bitter smile and announced, “Alright, everyone’s free to go.
We’ll regroup in twenty-four hours.
Everyone must keep their communications open.
Dismissed.”
Bruce immediately jumped up, shouting, “Who wants to be the first to see a masterpiece in automotive history?
And yes, I can let them experience it too.”
Glolov waved his hand dismissively and said, “Forget it, I’m not interested in junk cars, I’m going home.”
Gao was indeed interested in old cars, but he preferred to spend time with Yelena.
Feeling a bit embarrassed in front of Glolov, Gao casually tried to sound unconcerned and said, “I’d better not go, I need to catch up on some sleep at the hotel, yeah, that’s what I’ll do.”
Glolov didn’t say anything, but Bruce wasn’t having it.
He pleaded eagerly, “Boss, missing a little sleep is no big deal, come with us.
Bring Yelena along.
Don’t you want to see a miracle of automotive history?
Boss, if the car’s in good shape, I’ll definitely buy it, and I want you to be the first to test drive it.
Without you, I wouldn’t be where I am today, so, boss, let’s go.”
Gao was genuinely torn, but seeing the look of anticipation on Bruce’s face, he eventually nodded and agreed, “Alright, let’s go together.
I’ll go talk to Yelena.
Anyone else who wants to go with Bruce should get ready to leave.”
At that moment, Bruce laughed heartily and shouted to Glolov, who was about to leave, “Big Dog, I’ll pay you back when I return.”
Glolov turned back and smiled at Bruce, “It doesn’t really matter if you don’t pay me back, but promise me one thing, don’t come back with a sports car, Test Tube.
Think carefully, the car you are about to buy was made over thirty years ago.”
Bruce replied with pride, “Don’t worry, it will surprise you.
Even if it was made thirty years ago, I guarantee it will be the best car you’ve ever seen!”
