Chapter 993: Chapter 543: Who Wouldn’t Want Such a Great Deal?_2

Early the next day, before Charles Young’s airplane had arrived, Elijah Hastings came over to report some good news to Sean Knight.

"Boss, we’ve got some real talent among our team members!"

"What’s up?" Sean Knight was a bit confused, "What talent?"

"It’s about the safety issues during airplane takeoffs and landings. One of our team members has come up with a solution." Elijah Hastings said, laughing happily, "The young man’s name is Ryan Carter, but I’ll let him explain it to you."

The young man Elijah brought with him had thick eyebrows and big eyes. Standing at 1.7 meters, he wasn’t particularly tall, but he looked very sharp and energetic.

"Good day, boss!" Ryan Carter’s voice was loud and clear, "My name is Ryan Carter, I’m twenty-four years old, I’ve served in a border defense company of the Yili Military Sub-district, where I was a UAV operator.

After retiring from the military, I once worked as a drone performance operator for a media company.

I think to monitor the adjacent area, we just need to provide a certain number of surveillance drones, assign them to patrol fixed areas, and that would ensure any human activity in the region could be observed..."

As soon as Ryan Carter mentioned drones, Sean Knight had an epiphany.

Yes, our military and civilians have become quite proficient with drones. Hundreds or even thousands of drones can coordinate and fly together, forming various shapes and formations.

Just by deploying drones with cameras in the adjacent area for surveillance, couldn’t we clearly see anyone coming in or out?

"Not bad at all!" Sean Knight greatly appreciated Ryan Carter’s suggestion, "Your proposal is very feasible.

Here’s what you do, write something up about what models and how many drones we need, where to buy them from, and any supporting equipment required, and submit a report.

This task is now your responsibility. What’s your rank in our team?"

"I don’t have any rank, just an ordinary team member." Ryan Carter scratched his head, a bit embarrassed.

"Well then, from now on, you are promoted to Team Leader of Base Airport Surveillance. You’ll be assigned two people to assist you, and your pay will be increased by two levels.

What we need you to do now is to establish this drone patrol surveillance system as soon as possible.

If you can ensure the safety of the airplane’s takeoff and landing, there will be a bonus, and if you spot any suspicious persons, once confirmed, there will be a bonus for that too!"

"Thank you, boss!" Ryan Carter was overjoyed, then cautiously made another suggestion, "Boss, could we get in touch with some sensitive units? I know some drones can be equipped with weapons, the kind that can do both reconnaissance and attack.

If we could get those, it would greatly improve the efficiency of our surveillance team!"

"Let’s stick with the ordinary ones for now." Sean Knight thought for a moment and shook his head, "This place is too sensitive; we should wait until we’re more settled and stable before we consider other options.

If we start using those things now, it could easily cause resentment from local powers, making it hard for us to truly get a foothold in this area.

After all, we are outsiders here, and it’s easy to be rejected by others."

Ryan Carter nodded in understanding.

And so, the matter was settled. Ryan Carter worked quickly, and his report was submitted in less than half an hour.

Having reviewed it and finding no issues, Sean Knight had Elijah Hastings call Charles Young to tell him not to come just yet.

After Ryan Carter made contact with the drone suppliers, he directly ordered a batch of drones and control equipment, which were to be delivered directly to Charles Young.

So, when Charles Young’s plane touched down on the runway once again, it brought not only a large quantity of supplies for exchange with the tribe but also a complete surveillance drone package.

Elder Hassan’s eyes lit up when he saw the boxes of life supplies being unloaded from the plane.

"Mr. Knight, you’ve really done us a huge favor!

We couldn’t even get these things at the marketplace!

From now on, the tribe is your strong supporter!

I’ll go back to the tribe and immediately set to work to secure this base for us.

If anyone dares to compete with you for it, I’ll kill them!"

Elder Hassan had a long-term vision. He clearly understood how sought-after the supplies delivered by Sean Knight’s company would be among the nearby tribes once the route was established!

As long as he helped Sean Knight secure the ownership of the base now, Hassan’s relationship with Sean Knight would be firmly tied together.

No matter how things evolved in the future, he would always have the upper hand.

So, Hassan knew that now was not the time to make demands on Sean Knight, only by giving more at present could he harvest more in the future.

"I’m very grateful to Elder Hassan then." Sean Knight was very satisfied with Hassan’s tact, "We are the best partners, and I believe not only now but certainly in the future as well!"

With Sean Knight’s promise, Elder Hassan was also very pleased.

The tribe’s development was indeed secure.

While the tribal residents were busy moving supplies onto the airplane, Charles Young also came to Sean Knight with a report.

"Boss, I suggest that we set up a dedicated cargo plane operation here. Using the Boeing 747 to fly here is still somewhat limited. Moreover, we need to recruit another crew.

There are quite a few tourists on Big Island. Fortunately, there is now a fixed route, and domestic flights can fly there."

"What kind of airplane do you think is better to buy?" Sean Knight was not knowledgeable in this area.

"The new model of the C-130 would be good." Charles Young’s eyes lit up as he said, "It’s convenient for carrying cargo, durable and reliable, and it’s a time-tested model. From the first one to now, over sixty years have passed, and it is still being widely used around the world. It would be absolutely great if we can get our hands on the new models!"
