The other side of the phone clearly hesitated for a moment before a mocking laugh came through.
"Umm, I'm transitioning now, you know. And I'm still in the "probation period", if you say this … I'm afraid that Lawrence will come to talk to me again. "
When he heard Robert's bitter tone, Jiang Chen almost laughed out loud.
[This guy probably hasn't been doing too well lately.] The probation period probably referred to the fact that the FBA was monitoring his phone. [What a joke. Since the words "I'm monitoring you" are written all over his face.
[You're doing so poorly, yet you're still trying to act cool, saying I'll protect you in Los Santos …]
Jiang Chen cursed in his mind as he shook his head and was about to hang up.
"Okay, looks like you can't do this business, then I'm hanging up."
"No, no, no, wait …"
The phone hung up, but soon his phone rang again.
Jiang Chen picked up the phone and jokingly asked.
"You changed your number?"
"Hehe, other than the expensive phone bill, this number is quite convenient. Ahem, what business do you have? "
"I remember you are a producer, but from your tone … it seems like you haven't been doing too well lately?" Jiang Chen's tone was somewhat mischievous.
He remembered that the gold deal was worth more than 500 million USD. With a 9% processing fee, after deducting the loan interest and other costs, he should be able to earn tens of millions in the end.
[Out of money already?] [That's USD.]
"Umm, ahem, the box office of a movie takes a long time to recover, you know." Robert laughed.
"You didn't spend all your money on those Hollywood girls, right?" Jiang Chen jokingly scolded.
[This pervert, he doesn't do anything good even when he has money.]
But just as he thought about it, Jiang Chen's expression turned strange. He had a feeling that this sentence seemed to be applicable to him as well.
"Ahem, let's talk business." Robert's awkward cough came from the other side of the phone.
Jiang Chen laughed and didn't tease him anymore. Instead, he changed to a serious tone.
"You often worked in sensitive areas, so you should be familiar with mercenary organizations, right?"
"Oh? You want to hire mercenaries? But in Hua — "
"Not in China." Jiang Chen interrupted Robert's words. "I need you to help me hire a group of people. Umm … help me train bodyguards."
Bodyguard? Robert was stunned.
"In terms of bodyguards, Blackwater International is good."
"Black Water can't. You said it yourself, they're too close to the FBI." He didn't want to enter another circle after finally leaving one circle.
"Heh heh, I knew you were up to no good," Li Wuyou said with a smile. Robert's mocking voice came from the other end of the phone. After a pause, he continued, "All the mercenary organizations in the UA have something to do with the White House. You have to go to Africa, the Middle East, or Eastern Europe to find the kind of people who only care about money."
"Then let's do this. You'll accompany me to Eastern Europe," Jiang Chen said.
"Impossible. I'm afraid I'll be chased back before I can stand still after getting off the plane. By the way, buddy, are you done with the gold business? That one is more stable. "Robert smiled bitterly.
"Gold doesn't grow from the ground. I say, don't you want to play something big? "Jiang Chen suddenly laughed.
The other end of the phone was silent.
Jiang Chen didn't rush him. He knew Robert must be hesitating, but he would agree in the end.
Without risk, would he still be a businessman? This guy was an adventurer at heart.
"Okay, you convinced me … Although my instincts tell me that you might be crazy this time. I don't understand. You're doing so well over there. You've already transitioned your business, why are you still — "
"I have my troubles, Robert. Robert, just like you have your own troubles, "Jiang Chen said meaningfully.
"… Okay, I understand. Now that you mention it, it seems to make sense. Once shit gets on your hands, it seems like it can never be washed off, hehe. "
Although he stopped working after returning from Iraq, the troubles on his body never stopped. The only problem was that he was almost out of money. The title of producer looked impressive on the surface, but in the end, it was all about money. With money, the directors would naturally be happy to make friends with you and ask for investments.
Without money, who would pay attention to you?
He invested a lot of money, but he didn't know how much box office he would get back. In terms of movies, he was a complete amateur.
"Let's talk about your compensation first. Twenty million USD —"
"Deal!"
Jiang Chen paused for a moment before he laughed. "You're not going to ask what it is for? If I asked you to blow up the Pentagon, would you do it? "
Robert smiled awkwardly and rubbed his nose. "Ahem, buddy, I believe you won't trick me. And if I really took your money to blow it up, you wouldn't be happy either. "
Jiang Chen didn't deny it.
"Let's get back to business. First, mercenaries. I don't care what you do, I need ten people with experience. "
The other side of the phone was silent for a moment.
"I'll ask Nick to go to Kane. I have some connections with General Makarov. Although I'm not there, it should be no problem to write a letter of recommendation. But this person is greedy … "
"I'll go myself. Ask Nick to wait for me there. It should be fine to pay with gold, right? "
"Of course, that's not a problem. They only recognize gold and USD." Robert smiled.
"Second, refugees. Isn't Europe a refugee wave? I'll help them. Use your brain for me. I need around one hundred people. "
"Sh * t, what do you want —"
"I remember you said deal," Jiang Chen said in a relaxed tone.
After hesitating for a moment, Robert sighed as if he had given up.
"Okay. Let me think … Where do you plan on letting these people off the boat? "
"Africa."
"Okay, I understand what you mean. So you want to build your own mercenary force? Or is it behind your back — "
"Ahem, I think it's better if you don't know too much, right?" Jiang Chen interrupted Robert's words with a smile.
[Mercenary force? You underestimate me.]
"That's my big mouth." Robert forced a smile. He suddenly remembered the last time in Iraq when Jiang Chen took out the drone and the grenade that could track him. He was afraid that the organization behind him was not something that he could casually inquire about.
"Mhmm, hijack a boat full of stowaways in the Mediterranean, then get off in Libya. Then take the road to Niger? "
"Is Niger chaotic enough?"
This was the question Jiang Chen was most concerned about.
"Average, but it's poor enough. With a few hundred thousand USD, you can buy a piece of barren land from the sheikh and turn a blind eye to what you do there. "Robert laughed.
Africa was a haven for mercenaries.
Poverty provided them with a sufficient source of soldiers, and chaos allowed them to openly cross borders with guns. Although he didn't know why Jiang Chen didn't recruit the cheap black guys, Robert was smart enough not to ask any more questions.
"Good, I'll leave the transportation to you. I'll take care of the rest."
"Just these two points?"
"No, there's one more thing." Jiang Chen had a mischievous smile on his face. "I heard you're a producer in Hollywood?"
"Uh? That's right, I remember you should know. "Robert was uncertain.
"Then you can act as the villain for me. Twenty million is your pay. I'll pay with gold."
Jiang Chen's smile was evil.
