The name of the security company is "Umbrella", and the general manager is an iron hook who had participated in the Boer War and then received training in the war office.

The real name of the iron hook is Xia Jiu, and when he becomes the general manager, he will definitely not be able to use a nickname anymore, so Xia Jiu touched the badge engraved with his name and sat in the office of the umbrella company with a lot of emotion.

In August last year, Xia Jiu and sixteen other old brothers were sent to the base of the War Office for training, and in May Xia Jiu and they successfully graduated, and then entered an office called "Brad" under the Nyasaland Agricultural Company, and now Brad is up and running, Xia Jiu and six other people have been transferred to the umbrella to become umbrella managers and training instructors.

Although the Umbrella Company was a start-up, the Umbrella Company now has more than 2,000 employees, including security guards at the Rock and Matilda mines, mercenaries from the De Beers Unified Mining Company, and Zulu scouts who have retired from the Expeditionary Force.

The establishment of the security company is to respond to the demand for security work in the Johannesburg mine, generally speaking, a thousand-person mine does not need too many mercenaries at all, it is enough to maintain a dozen or twenty people on weekdays, and the scale of hundreds of people at every turn has a lot to do with the uneven quality of mercenaries.

The Umbrella's employees are highly trained, and are naturally superior to those mercenaries who can only be used to scare ordinary miners, and the Umbrella will not conduct piecemeal transactions with the mine owner, but hire a lawyer to negotiate the overall security contract with the mine, so as to ensure the interests of the umbrella company to the greatest extent.

"Don't sign the contract? It's easy to do, let Pinar find a few rebels to come and arrange to go into the mines to make trouble, and if he doesn't sign a contract for a day, let's let him live uneasy for a day, and see who can spend whom. "Xia Jiu is not worried about having no business, now Johannesburg is a monolith, with the support of Roque and Owen, whoever dares to disobey is looking for death.

Roque and Owen are the bosses of the Umbrella, and now the Umbrella Company has taken over the security business of the Rock Gold Mine, the Matilda Gold Mine, and the De Beers Unified Mining Company, and according to the size of the contract, the Umbrella Company will send professional security personnel to the above enterprises to ensure the stable operation of the mine.

This is a win-win choice, after entrusting all the security business to the umbrella company, the security cost of the mine can be immediately saved by half, and the umbrella company can also develop different security plans for different mines according to the specific situation of the mine.

As for Pinar, this is the only surviving leader of the Zulu rebels, who is currently working in Port Edward with the surrendered Zulu rebels, and it is easy to ask him for a few rebels.

"We can also send people to attack the mine and kill all those mercenaries, and then we can only take over the security of the mine." Lu Si, who had a broken leg and one eye missing, was ruthless.

"This can't be done, if we do this, then we won't be bandits and robbers, we can't ruin the reputation of the lord, now we are also civilized people, we must use a civilized way." Xia Jiu didn't do this, the smart mine owner naturally knew what to do, as for those who were not smart, or who were smart, Xia Jiu had a way to toss them.

In fact, Roque's reputation is not the main reason, what really makes Xia Jiu jealous is the big people behind these mines in Johannesburg, and those people can't even afford to offend the current Roque.

The simple fact is that the people who often meet in the Mining Alliance are basically not the owners of the mines.

Real bosses like Roque, Henry, and Xiao Si don't have time to go to meetings at all, they are all busy with other things, and the people who go to meetings are actually professional managers.

It was Buck who went to the meeting on behalf of Roque, Sam who went to the meeting on behalf of Henry, and Aiden who went to the meeting on behalf of Smalls.

To put it bluntly, the people who went to the meeting were all white-gloved, with a strong background like Adam Stephen, even if he dared to argue with Roque face to face, but if this dispute rose to the point of affecting the operation of the mine, Adam Stephen would not be able to eat and walk around.

That's how Kevin Mullen persuaded Adam Stephen.

Kevin Mullen is a lawyer hired by the umbrella company, and there is a law firm in Pretoria, dealing with these mine owners who claim to be "civilized people", and it is not appropriate for Xia Jiu Lu Si to come forward, so Kevin Mullen became the lawyer and business manager of the umbrella company.

"According to you, if I don't accept the Umbrella Company's contract, then my mine will have unexpected troubles." Adam Stephen's face was pale, and his hands were trembling a little with anger, no matter what, Adam Stephen didn't expect that the Umbrella Company could be so bold.

"No, no, no, Mr. Stephen, I didn't say that, I just said that compared to the current expenses of your mine in terms of security, the security contract given by the umbrella company is more reasonable and will save more money for your mine, so, whether it is for practical interests or for business reasons, I would suggest that you consider the problem more practically, the Governor's Office has ordered that all enterprises in the Transvaal stop employing private forces, and this is not only for the mines." Kevin Mullen can still keep his composure, but inside he is scolding Adam Stephen for being a fool.

It's really stupid, this guy probably hasn't figured out the situation yet, thinking that by climbing up to a certain local bigwig, he can challenge Roque's authority in Johannesburg.

In fact, it's not nice to say, people like Adam Stephen can't be on the stage at all, he is just a professional manager, not irreplaceable, if he really angers Roque, no one will have a bad relationship with Roque, the Johannesburg real power, because of this kind of person.

Roque is now a nobleman, the commander of the newly formed 1st Cavalry Division, and also the chief of the Johannesburg Police, which is also something that people like Adam Stephen can provoke?

Don't be funny, I really don't know how this kind of person got out of the way.

"Needless to say, Mr. Mullen, my mine will never consider the security business of the Umbrella Company." Adam Stephen really didn't figure out the situation.

"Your mine? Oh, Mr. Stephen, don't blame me for not reminding you, if you continue to be so confident, then this mine will soon be yours. Since Adam Stephen is resolute, Kevin Mullen is not welcome.

"What do you mean?" Adam Stephen's face turned pale, not frightened, but angry.

"That's what you think, Mr. Stephen, you don't know who the owner of the umbrella is? Is Lord Nyasaland and His Excellency Owen Matilda, do you know what these two surnames mean in Johannesburg? Do you think your boss will turn against Lord Nyasaland and Lord Matilda for your sake? Find out your situation, if you refuse the umbrella company, I promise, everything you have will cease to exist in a short time, and by then, you will not be able to survive in the whole of Southern Africa, even if you go back to Europe, do you think you will still be able to find such an easy and lucrative job? Wake up, don't fall victim to the big guys falling prey to each other. Kevin Mullen looked at Adam Stephen with pity.

"I'm sorry, I made a mistake, the big guys don't care about your mood at all, but if you become a stumbling block in their path, trust me, you'll be crushed." Kevin Mullen made up for it at the end, and Adam Stephen was whiter at this time.

Kevin Mullen certainly knows why Ada Stephen is against Roque.

In fact, the Transvaal, including all the white people in southern Africa, were jealous of Roque as a yellow man, of Roque's meteoric prominence, of Roque's high position, of Roque's vast network of connections, and of his wealth and strength.

But so what?

This is human nature, and Kevin Mullen admits that he is jealous of Roque deep down, but that does not prevent Kevin Mullen from accepting Roque's offer.

In fact, those who are jealous of Roque are the same, and if Roque can give them a better job, Kevin Mullen believes that everyone will put down their pride and kiss Roque's finger.

Of course, there are also unconscious people, like Adam Stephen, who, because of jealousy, denies everything related to Roque.

"You're too much, you bastard, you're going to hell!" Adam Stephen scolded, a little hysterical.

"Of course I'm going to hell, but it will be a long time later, and if you don't agree to this agreement, then you won't go to hell later." Kevin Mullen stopped talking nonsense, picked up his briefcase and got up, walked to the door, and didn't forget to turn around and raise three fingers to Adam Stephen: "Three days, I'll only wait for you for three days, if you don't sign after three days, then Mr. Stephen, the next time I come to see you, it may be at your funeral." ”

"Get out of my office!" Adam Stephen felt like he was about to go crazy, grabbed the inkwell on the table and smashed it at Kevin Mullen.

Of course it didn't hit, Kevin Malen turned around and left after saying this, and now the choice is in the hands of Adam Stephen.

It is said that the lights in Adam Stephen's office were on for a long time that night, and then the next day, Adam Stephen's secretary found Adam Stephen drunk on the couch in his office.

Adam Stephen hasn't lost his mind and can get out of the way, Adam Stephen is certainly not stupid, Kevin Mullen's words are really hard to hear, but I have to admit that Kevin Mullen's words do make sense.

In any case, within the three-day deadline, Adam Stephen personally came to the umbrella company and signed a security business contract with the umbrella company.

The value of the contract is £3,000 per month.
