Chapter 479: Chapter 479: The Security Company Has Work to Do_1

After finishing speaking, Wang Ye lifted the cup to take a sip of water.

Setting down his water cup, he found the three of them not uttering a word, their gazes fixed on him.

Waving his hand, he said, "Hey, what’s wrong with you guys? Why are you all silent?"

Ruan Xiaozhu finally closed her mouth, swallowed, and said, "You... You’re not joking with us, are you? Hired mercenaries numbering in the thousands? And you bought several warships! Is... Is that even allowed by Russian law?!"

Song Xiaogang and Yanzi nodded urgently, showing that they shared Ruan Xiaozhu’s thoughts.

In their eyes, this matter seemed too far-fetching!

It did not look plausible. Though Wang Ye possessed the financial strength to do it, would Russia allow this?!

Wang Ye shrugged and said cheerfully:

"Of course, it’s allowed. Haven’t you noticed that all the foreign exchange outlets on the streets are guarded by fully armed security guards? There are also those patrolling with guns around the major markets, and they’re personnel of security companies.

Of course, conventional security companies are usually not allowed to purchase heavy equipment like warships, armored vehicles, and armed helicopters.

However, my Wagner Company has cooperative relations with the Federal Security Bureau and the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

As far as I see, Wagner is currently the largest security company in Russia, possessing unrivaled strength!"

He wasn’t bragging. Maybe in terms of staff numbers, Wagner still couldn’t match state-owned security companies in Moscow, but it was a notch higher in terms of actual strength and equipment quality.

After all, the veterans recruited by Wagner now are elites among elites, mostly top-notch soldiers who retired from special forces!

But as for the state-owned security companies, the standards are not strict, as they don’t offer high wages anyway.

......

At this point, the three seemed to believe that Wang Ye wasn’t playing them, and he was telling the truth.

Conventionally, Wang Ye was just a nineteenth-year-old Chinese student studying abroad, who managed to enter the Duma and Economic Committee!

So what’s the big deal about opening a security company?!

And what about owning a few warships and a military force of several thousand strong?!

Although it does sound bizarre...

"Whoa... Make sure to take me along when the warship sails. A ten-thousand-tonne cruiser... Just thinking about it makes me excited!" Ruan Xiaozhu said excitedly.

Song Xiaogang hesitated for a moment on the side and suddenly said, "Brother Ye, do you still remember Xiao Hei from our dorm?"

Wang Ye was taken aback, not knowing why Song Xiaogang suddenly brought up Xiao Hei from the dormitory.

However, he indeed hadn’t forgotten Xiao Hei. Although they didn’t live together for long, Xiao Hei was a good person. Every time he saw Wang Ye, he would show his bright white teeth and give Wang Ye a big smile.

Supposedly, he was the son of a tribal chief from a small African country. Strictly speaking, he was indeed a prince!

He nodded and asked, "I remember him, what happened?"

Song Xiaogang said, "I returned to the dorm before coming here and saw Xiao Hei. Looking at him, it seemed like he was in trouble. So I chatted with him and found out that something had happened to his tribe..."

Due to Song Xiaogang’s narrative, Wang Ye finally understood why Song Xiaogang had suddenly brought up Xiao Hei.

It turned out that Xiao Hei’s tribal issue had some possible connections with Wang Ye’s Wagner Security company.

It might even become the first overseas project taken on by the Wagner Company!

......

As for which country in Africa Xiao Hei came from, both Song Xiaogang and Wang Ye had forgotten because the name was too unfamiliar and hard to pronounce.

But that was not important. Anyway, there are many small countries in Africa that most people have never heard of...

Xiao Hei’s father was the chief of a large tribe in the area, with a considerable population in the tribe.

However, recently, they had reportedly found a diamond mine at the border between their tribe and another!

The reserves were said to be ample!

As a result, the two tribes had a major fight, striving for the ownership of the diamond mine.

In such backward places, there is no room for reason. Whoever had a larger population and was more powerful was the one who called the shots!

Initially, the two tribes were evenly matched. Xiao Hei’s tribe even had a slight upper hand. But the opposing tribe suddenly brought in a group of foreign legions, so-called mercenaries, and immediately routed Xiao Hei’s tribal forces.

After all, that foreign corps were all veteran soldiers with rich experience and far superior weaponry. They were naturally incomparable to the relatively primitive andbackward tribal forces in Africa.

After several conflicts, the young and strong in the tribe suffered heavy casualties, and clearly, they couldn’t hold on much longer...

Initially, Xiao Hei’s issue had nothing to do with Wang Ye. After hearing Xiao Hei speak of it, Song Xiaogang could only sympathize and offer some consolatory words.

This, after all, was a matter of war!

He was just an ordinary university student. How could he intervene?

Nevertheless, after hearing about Wang Ye’s Wagner Security Company, Song Xiaogang suddenly realized that while he might not be able to help with this issue, Wang Ye could!

It was clear that since Wang Ye’s security company had grown so big, it would be looking for overseas tasks in the future. The trouble Xiao Hei’s family was facing happened to fall within the scope of Wagner’s security services...

So, he decided to share this matter.

......

After hearing Song Xiaogang’s words, Wang Ye was a bit confused.

He had originally asked Petrov to figure out a way to check if there were any tasks to take on in Middle D.

Now it turned out that Xiao Hei, a relatively unfamiliar person, seemed to become the first overseas client of his security company...

Still, it was quite magical in hindsight.

After musing over it, he told Song Xiaogang:

"If it’s true, we can definitely take it up. The security company has also been looking to take overseas tasks recently. Though Xiao Hei might not have a lot of money, as long as they have that diamond mine, taking shares of the diamond mine as compensation would work. In this way, you can go back and talk with him about it. After all, we also need to consider his family’s wishes. They might be unwilling to seek help from external forces and want to solve the problem on their own."

Song Xiaogang nodded and said, "Alright, I will handle this. I will have a good chat with him when I go back tonight. If his family is also willing, I will contact you, Brother Ye."

"Ok, you can assure Xiao Hei that my security company’s strength is absolutely not a problem. If we can’t solve their tribal troubles, we won’t charge them a cent! However, if we indeed help them resolve this issue, I want half of the shares in the diamond mine!" Wang Ye said straightforwardly.

This condition wasn’t unfair at all.

Because Xiao Hei’s tribe was now at a disadvantage, they wouldn’t get a single share of the diamond mine if they didn’t seek external aid, let alone half. The rival tribe would seize it all!

Now, Wang Ye’s Wagner Security Company was willing to step in and resolve this dispute, and wouldn’t charge them if they didn’t succeed.

After securing the diamond mine, they would only take half.

Such a good deal... where else could they find it?
