Chapter 199: The Wolf and the Leopard
"It took so much effort and so much risk just to get me to go back to Africa and work for Morningstar?" said the panther Ghuray, "If it weren't for some difficulties, they wouldn't have been able to do this, right?"
"Perhaps, the Secret Society is further increasing its influence on various armed forces in Africa, and Morningstar is worried about internal and external troubles. The chapters were updated the fastest, and they needed a head of the Africa branch who could take charge of the situation on their own. I can't think of any better option for them than you. Zhao Jianfei said calmly.
"Hmph, they just believe I'm going to take this job?" said Gurray with a sneer.
Shogishi smiled, "In my opinion, you should take this errand." The world is not what it was a few years ago, and the situation in Africa is even more volatile. I know you still want to make a difference. As a mercenary, there's really a limit to what you can do. But with a conglomerate like Morningstar, things are completely different. ”
"What's the difference, isn't it a sacrifice for Morningstar?" Gu Lei said lightly.
Jiang An said slowly, "It's different, they have a request for you now." So you can totally offer them a good price and don't have to worry about them refusing. Morningstar needs your prestige and influence. In turn, you can use their human and financial resources to further enhance your own value. ”
"I don't want to restore my royal status anymore, what do I need power for?" said Gu Lei slowly.
"I know, but you're still a man, a warrior, and you have blood in your veins that will never be settled. That's why you're moving around the world as a freelance mercenary. Even in Guantanamo Bay, you never gave up the fight. You can't stand the ordinary, and like all men, you want to have power in your hands rather than live a mediocre life. Now you have an opportunity right in front of you. "Shogan said slowly.
Zhao Jianfei smiled and said, "And no matter how bad it is, how bad can it be? No matter what, you are free now." So come with us. When you come back to South Africa, see what kind of terms they will offer you. ”
Gu Lei was silent for a moment, then looked up and said, "What time is the flight?"
Two days later, Morningstar's African division. The members of XCOM Team are once again in their familiar office, only this time it is Michelle the Silver Wolf.
Michelle greeted them happily when she saw them, and then turned to the panther Guray, "You look good. It seems that a few years in prison didn't bring you down. ”
"It's fine. Guray smiled.
The silver wolf nodded and said to Zhao Jianfei, "You have worked hard this time, and the extra reward for the task has been paid to your account." While there is nothing to do these days, I suggest that you must relax. However, have you watched the news, this time things are a little too much. ”
"How come you have already seen the news?" Lin Rui said in surprise.
"The Guantanamo Bay Prison Riot, such a headline is catchy enough. Those reporters are eager for such eye-catching big news, so it's hard to hide such things for a long time. So not only was the news quickly hyped, but Guantanamo has once again become a hot word since the last prisoner abuse. Moreover, according to incomplete statistics, five or six extremist terrorist organizations, large and small, have already declared responsibility for this incident. Silver Wolf smiled and said, "This was not expected. ”
Qin Fen was stunned and said, "There is still such a fool who actually rushes to carry the black cauldron?"
Lin Rui shook his head and said, "These extremist organizations are not stupid. The abuse of prisoners at Guantanamo has been the focus of the media. Therefore, Guantanamo Bay Prison has naturally become a symbol of hegemony, and announcing that it planned Guantanamo Bay Prison is undoubtedly announcing that it has raised the anti-American flag, which is enough to attract more attention and greater influence. Or even an intangible capital. ”
Lin Rui was right. But that's fine, they have completely muddied the waters. Silver Wolf Michelle said slowly, "Okay, if you don't mind, I'd like to talk to Black Panther alone." ”
"Of course. Zhao Jianfei glanced at the other team members and walked out together.
The silver wolf looked at Gu Lei and said calmly, "I think you probably guessed a little bit about why we wanted to save you." ”
"I did guess a little bit, especially when I got here and learned about the predicament that the Africa branch is facing right now. You need my help. Gu Lei said slowly.
"So to speak. But to be more precise, we're ready to hire you. Michelle said slowly.
"Hehe, hire?" said with a smile to Gurei, "my price is not cheap. ”
"Cheap, we don't want either. You know what we're all about, and we always want the best. As you said, the Africa Division is currently in a difficult situation and is under pressure from many sources. There are countries and armed forces that are very hostile to us. And the Secret Society is also deliberately squeezing out us, trying to seize more market share. Someone needs to come forward to solve this qiē, and I would prefer to favor someone who asks for a high price. The silver wolf laughed.
"Oh, why?" said Guray, in a deep voice.
Because if you dare to ask for a high price, it means that the person thinks he is worth the price. At least it shows that he is a very confident person. I would be a little more relieved to hand over the Africa branch to such a person. However, daring to open a high price is not a sky-high asking price. I think you should understand that. Michelle smiled slightly.
"Well, I'm asking for more funding than before, and more autonomy. "In addition, my salary must be doubled on the basis of my predecessor." ”
"There has to be a number of more funds. The silver wolf shrugged, "And what do you mean by the greater autonomy you want?"
"I had a general look at the Africa branch and found that the funding was not very adequate. A few large expenditure items were enough to stretch the financial situation of the Africa Division. If I were to take over, that would have to change. As for autonomy, I can be selective in other matters besides the contract arranged by the company. Of course, I still work for the company. It's just a little bit of convenience. ”
"Guray, you shouldn't be a panther, you should be a greedy African wild dog. Silver Wolf Michelle said slowly.
"Think about how much you can get out of me, and I don't feel like I'm being too greedy. I think I'm even too merciful compared to a military security company that drinks the blood of mercenaries. Gurey laughed.
"Well, I can promise. However, the details will have to be further discussed. Michelle held out her hand.
Gourley's hand shook with him. At that time, no one thought that the handshake between the two people would represent that Black Panther Guray had officially joined Morningstar, and this would bring a storm that would be enough to shake off the whole of Africa
