Security company.
Far away's security company was not arranged at the Far away Building. This was because the security needed to be trained, and the space needed was larger.
Far away Logistics Park occupied a large area. The second phase had not been completed yet, and the third phase had not even started.
The security company was arranged at the Logistics Park.
Far away's security was not only to protect Li Dong and his family. If that was the case, there was no need to separate it into a separate company.
Faraway Group had thousands of stores, and the real estate and property needed security. These security guards were also from the security company.
Strictly speaking, the security of Far away actually belonged to a third party. However, this third party was still Far Away's controlling stake.
It was not only the business of Far away. Far away's reputation was not small. In addition, the security company was established by a few retired soldiers. Many of the people recruited were also retired soldiers. Hence, the reputation was not bad.
In these two years, the security company began to accept external orders.
Some property security guards, security guards of some large and small enterprises in Jiangbei, including some state-owned enterprises such as banks, also had security guards Far away.
These were only the basic business of the security company. In 2007, the security company cooperated with the Provincial Public Security Bureau and the Provincial Armed Police Corps to establish the armed escort department.
The armed escort department was mainly responsible for bank escort tasks, as well as the escort work of luxury goods such as jewelry and gold.
Previously, Wu Changguo and Li Dong mentioned that Far away's security company had applied for firearms for the armed escort service.
In the absence of a widespread impact on mobile payments, the benefits of armed escorts were still quite lucrative.
However, Li Dong did not open the security company to make money. In addition, there were many things that needed to be done in this industry. There were also some veterans who were not in good health, so Li Dong took extra care of them.
Over time, although the security company's annual profits were not low, most of them spent whatever they earned.
As for Li Dong, he had never cared about such matters.
To be able to use the security company's profits to support the internal security team was actually a profit to him. The rest did not matter.
Because of the large-scale use of retired soldiers, Far away's relationship with some military regions was considered good.
That was how connections were built up bit by bit.
Far away, but now in Jiangbei, it had a deep foundation. It was from these small matters that it accumulated. Every year, it solved many problems for the Jiangbei government.
Otherwise, the Jiangbei government would not have given the green light to Far away.
Benefits were mutual. So far, if they couldn't bring benefits to Jiangbei, the Jiangbei government wouldn't fully support them. In fact, Qin Hanyuan had even taken the blame for Li Dong several times.
The infrastructure of the security company was average, but the training ground and equipment were first-class.
At this moment, although the weather was cold, the training ground was still filled with shouts.
Shouts, shouts, and curses could be heard coming from the outside.
In a lounge not far from the training ground, the atmosphere was exceptionally cold.
There weren't many people in the lounge.
They were all transferred from the internal security team, and there were less than 20 of them in total.
Cao Hongbing was there as well in addition to the people from the internal security team.
They had been called here since the morning. For a few hours, almost no one spoke.
After some time, someone suddenly said in a deep voice, "Brother Cao, give us a straightforward answer. Are you going to fire us?
Yes, just say it!
Brother Zhou and Brother Zheng left one after another. Brother Zheng's arms were broken by Tan Yong right in front of us. We all knew something had happened.
We don't know the whole story, and we can't tell right from wrong.
Now that Brother Zhou and the others have left, they suddenly removed us from the internal security team. They must be worried about us.
Since they're worried, there's nothing to say.
General Manager Li hasn't mistreated us in the past few years. We're not people who don't know what's good for us. He can let us go with just a word.
But even if we leave, we're still a little unwilling. It's our problem. If you say it, we'll admit it.
If it's not our problem, give us a reason so that we can give up.
No matter what the reason is, we have to leave with a clear understanding. At least we have an idea. We won't be at ease if we don't want to leave! "
After this person said that, someone else added, "Brother Cao, that's the logic. Even if we want to leave, we have to be clear about the situation. Do you know how we feel when we were removed for no reason? Also, what's the situation with Brother Zhou? Can we not reveal anything? At least let us know where Brother Zhou is and if anything happened to him? "
"Brother Cao, can you say something!?"
"…"
Once the topic was started, some people couldn't hold it in.
They were all hot-blooded men. If not for the years of intensive training, some of them would have long lost control and made a move.
Cao Hongbing said angrily, "Everyone is asking me. What the hell do I know!? What are you all doing? Yes, I was promoted and replaced Brother Long's position! What's wrong? Did I do it? Don't ask me. I'm still vexed! If you want to ask Tan Yong, I wasn't the one who called you here. He asked me to gather you here. What's the point of asking me!? "
Cao Hongbing was in a bad mood and immediately cursed.
He was indeed very vexed now. Not only had his old squad leader left, but Old Zheng had also been beaten half to death by Tan Yong and sent away.
It would have been fine if he hadn't done anything, but he had been promoted and replaced Old Zheng's position.
In the past two days, he had met some people and felt that they were looking at him strangely.
They probably thought that he and Tan Yong had joined forces to do it.
Old Tan might be eyeing the position of the Surveillance Minister, while Cao Hongbing was eyeing the position of Deputy Director of Security.
However, Cao Hongbing was still confused. How could he know what had happened?
Old Zheng and the others had left for no reason, and he had been promoted. In the end, he didn't feel any joy from being promoted at all. Instead, he felt extremely awkward.
If not for the fact that he didn't have the chance to look for Li Dong in the past two days, he was prepared to quit.
The moment he cursed, everyone fell silent.
After a while, someone said, "Then let's continue waiting."
Just as he said that, a few people in the room suddenly stood up and frowned. "He's here. General Manager Li is here?"
The others also stood up. Among these people, some had been with Li Dong for two to three years.
Although they didn't appear in the open, they followed him 24 hours a day.
It wasn't strange that they could hear Li Dong's footsteps.
If those who could enter the internal security team didn't have this ability, they wouldn't have been sent to protect Li Dong. The group of people who protected Li Dong weren't inferior to Tan Yong.
Although Tan Yong hadn't stopped training for the past two years, he wasn't as dedicated as them. If it was a one-on-one fight, there were at least five or six people in the room who could hold him down and beat him up.
When the few people who had been protecting Li Dong said that Li Dong had arrived, the others didn't doubt it and stood up one after another.
Cao Hongbing also stood up and walked forward to open the door.
As soon as the door opened, Li Dong came in with Tan Yong.
Seeing Cao Hongbing open the door, Li Dong smiled and said, "Good vigilance. Is everyone here?"
Cao Hongbing looked at Li Dong with a complicated expression and said in a muffled voice, "Everyone's here. Director Li, why are you here?"
"Why? Am I not welcome?"
"No, it's just … it's just …"
Cao Hongbing struggled for a while and said helplessly, "It's fine. I thought only Tan Yong was coming. I didn't expect you to come too."
Li Dong smiled. This guy's emotions were quite heavy.
In the past, he used to call him Brother Tan, but now he called him Tan Yong.
Li Dong didn't say much and walked directly into the lounge.
When the people in the room saw him, they shouted, "Hello, General Manager Li!"
Li Dong pressed his hands together and said, "Don't stand on ceremony. Everyone is holding back a bellyful of anger now. I suspect that if we met outside, someone might come up and give me a good beating."
In the crowd, some people looked embarrassed.
Although Li Dong was joking, to be honest, a few people really thought so.
They were transferred away for no reason. How could they not be angry at all?
Men of steel were also human, and human beings had emotions.
In order to enter the internal security team, they had put in a lot of effort, blood, and sweat.
In the past few years, it was not that Li Dong had not encountered danger.
Not to mention, when Liu Qing came to Li Dong with a gun, the internal guards who protected Li Dong and Li Dong's family all risked their lives.
When Li Dong personally went to Sichuan to rescue, the aftershocks had not yet subsided. At that time, they had also risked their lives to go with him. Even when Li Dong was in the rear, they had personally gone to the front line to rescue people.
What was it that they weren't doing, that they weren't taking risks?
In the end, Li Dong did not even give them a reason and directly told them to get lost. Who wouldn't care?
Among these people, even Wang Cheng and the others who had just returned from the capital were among them.
Compared to the others, they had done more things, including stalking some people and threatening some people.
Although they did not use Jiang Bin's son as a threat at first, when Li Dong later warned Jiang Bin, they also showed up and stalked the child.
They had really taken a big risk!
Once they left, and Jiang Bin found out about this, there was no guarantee that he would find trouble with them.
How could a few ordinary people fight Jiang Bin?
However, they were also people brought back by Zhou Haidong, so they were also among the people who had been evacuated this time.
Seeing that everyone was silent, Li Dong did not mind. He smiled and said, "Everyone, I'm no stranger to you. We're all brothers, so let's have a chat today."
With that said, Li Dong said to Tan Yong, "Close the door. Everyone, sit down. I'll say a few words. We're all trustworthy brothers, so I won't spread some things."
Tan Yong turned around and closed the door. The others hesitated for a moment before sitting down.
After they sat down, Li Dong said, "This time, I transferred you out of the internal security team not because you didn't do well, nor was it because you made a mistake.
You should know a little about Old Zhou and Old Zheng.
I won't go into the specifics. What's done is done, but there's something I have to make clear. It's not that I, Li Dong, have let them down. It's just that they chose this path.
People who walk different paths cannot make plans together. Since we can't walk together, we'll disband.
"As for why you were transferred, I won't hide it from you. Most of you were brought here by Old Zhou or Old Zheng.
I, Li Dong, trust you, but I don't dare to take the risk.
You're all the people closest to me. The safety of my family is in your hands.
Before Old Zhou left, he said that none of you brothers had any problems. I believe that. If I didn't believe that, I wouldn't have come here today.
Trust is trust. You can blame me or hate me for some things, but I have to do it. "
Everyone's expressions changed slightly. In fact, everyone had guessed it before, but now it was confirmed by Li Dong.
Indeed, it had something to do with Zhou Haidong and Zheng Long.
Cao Hongbing wanted to say something but hesitated. After a while, he gritted his teeth and said, "General Manager Li, tell me, what happened to them? If I don't know, I'm so angry that I don't even have the mood to work. "
Before Li Dong could say anything, Tan Yong frowned and said, "What? Do I have to explain everything to you? You don't have a brain. Can't you think for yourself? "
"I …"
Cao Hongbing said angrily, "Tan Yong, don't give me that. Even if they did something wrong, you're too ruthless!"
Tan Yong glared at him. That bastard who only had muscles but no brains!
Even now, you're still acting like this! '
Seeing the two arguing, Li Dong pressed his hands together and said, "Shut up, both of you. Hongbing, we'll talk about this later. At this point, regardless of whether you understand or not, it's already come to this. "It's not easy for everyone to work with me. I'll tell you about my arrangements. It's best if you're satisfied. If not, you can let me know if you have any requests."
After he said that, the crowd quieted down. No one made a sound.
Seeing this, Li Dong said slowly, "Other than Hong Bing, there are a total of 18 people here. I won't chase you away. If you want to stay, you can stay Far Away.
"However, you can't go back to the internal security team.
"You can go to some departments under the security company to be supervisors or assistants.
"The security company has many training bases in other places. If you want to go back to your hometown to be a supervisor, you can tell me. I'll arrange it for you.
"For those who have settled down in Jiangbei, it's not a problem either. Jiangbei is our headquarters. It's a big place with many positions.
"Other things aside, there are many positions that are suitable for you.
"The head of security for the branch company, the head of security for the property management, and even the head of armed escort. As long as the conditions are right, it won't be a problem!
"You're not young anymore. It's not a good thing to follow me. I think it's quite suitable for you to transfer now.
"Of course, some of you might not be used to it, but I won't force you. Those who leave, each of you will get 500,000 yuan. I won't pay more.
"If you have any difficulties in the future, you can come back to me.
"Transfer or take the money, everyone, think about it."
There was a slight commotion in the lounge.
Some people were a little restless. Whether it was transferring or taking the money, it seemed like a good choice.
If they transferred and became a supervisor in a department, although it would still be security, it would be much easier than following Li Dong. They could also move from backstage to frontstage. It could be considered a change from a hired thug to a gold-collar worker.
If they did not transfer and left with 500,000 yuan, it was not a small amount of money.
Five hundred thousand. Even now, one could buy a decent house in the center of Pingchuan.
It was cheaper to buy a house in the suburbs, and it was enough to buy a small car.
It was tiring to follow Li Dong and they had to take risks. If everyone was doing it for feelings, that was definitely not the case.
Wasn't it all for the sake of a better life?
They were still a little indignant when they were transferred from the internal security team, but now they realized that it was not a bad choice.
After a moment of silence, someone said, "General Manager Li, I'm just an uncouth man. I definitely can't be a supervisor. However, I might be able to train a deputy. I don't want to leave Far Away. Do you think I can do it? "
Li Dong smiled when he heard that. "No problem. How about this? Those who are willing to transfer can register with Old Tan and let him arrange it. However, everyone knows that the salary of a security guard isn't too high. The internal security team's situation is special. Even if you go to a local department as a supervisor or deputy, your salary will probably not reach six figures in a year. The company is so big. If you encounter any difficulties in private, I can help. However, in terms of salary, I can't give everyone special treatment. You have to be prepared in advance. "
The person who spoke earlier immediately said, "We understand. General Manager Li, don't worry. We are already very satisfied. If not for your care, we wouldn't be treated like this. "
After he said that, a few more people nodded.
Li Dong did not continue talking about this. He looked at everyone and said, "They are willing to transfer. What do you think?"
After a few seconds of silence, someone exhaled and stood up. "General Manager Li, forget about me. I don't even know a few words, so I can't do this. Furthermore, my parents are old, and my children are young. With the money you gave me and my savings from the past few years, I'll go home and build a bungalow. The remaining money is enough for me to start a small business. After working so hard for so many years, to be able to earn so much money in just a few years, I will never forget your kindness in this life. "
Before Li Dong could say a word, someone in the crowd said angrily, "Zhang He, you want to take money?"
Li Dong pressed his hand down and said with a smile, "What's the matter? I gave the money myself. What's a few hundred thousand to me?
Do you think I can just watch you go back and eat scraps after you fight with me?
Even if you don't think for yourself, you have to think for your families. What era are we in? Why? Did taking money hurt your pride?
Take back your pride!
A man needs to have a backbone, but this money wasn't stolen or snatched. It was given by me!
Why did I give you money?
Did I give it to the others?
I gave it to you because you did a good job. I'm rewarding you. Why talk so much nonsense? "
With Li Dong's words, some people who were too embarrassed to take the money gritted their teeth and said, "General Manager Li, then I … I also choose to take the money. My situation is similar to Zhang He's …"
"Me too …"
"…"
After a while, the matter was more or less settled.
Eight people chose to transfer jobs, while six chose to take the money.
The remaining four people, including Wang Cheng, did not say a word.
Li Dong glanced at them and finally looked at Wang Cheng. "Wang Cheng, what do you think?"
Wang Cheng exhaled and said in a deep voice, "Forget about me. I've earned a lot of money over the past few years. General Manager Li, you've also taken special care of me. I didn't do anything. I'll feel bad if I take your money again. As for transferring jobs, forget it. I can't do such things. General Manager Li, you don't have to worry about me. I'll make my own arrangements when I get back. "
The other three nodded as well. One of the internal guards who had been following Li Dong said with reddened eyes, "General Manager Li, it's better if you let me continue following you. I don't know anything. I can't do anything else even if I go elsewhere. I'm only where I am today because of you. I don't want to go anywhere else. I just want to continue following you! "
Li Dong immediately consoled him. "Are you silly? Is it that good to follow me? I'm not a beauty. It's so tiring to follow me all the time. Don't say anything else. Take the money, or get Old Tan to make arrangements for you. Don't be so emotional. I can't stand all this. As for the rest of you … "
Li Dong looked at the remaining three people and said with a smile, "Just like Wu Ping. Don't say silly things like you don't want the money. We all have big families to feed."
The other two hesitated, but in the end, they fell silent and did not refuse.
Only Wang Cheng shook his head and said, "General Manager Li, forget it. I'll accept your kindness, but don't mention these matters. I'm not being pretentious, nor do I really not care about money. But in the past few years, I really haven't done anything. I'm different from Zhang He, Wu Ping, and the rest. They did their best. They can take your money, but I can't. It'll burn my hands if I take it. "
"You really don't want it?" Li Dong stared at him and said with a smile, "If you don't want it, I really won't give it to you?"
"I really don't want it. I really can't take it!" Wang Cheng wore a serious expression without any hesitation.
When Li Dong saw this, he pondered for a moment before saying, "Up to you then. If you need anything, come find me or Old Tan at any time. I won't say anything else. I'm a lot more relaxed now that you guys have a good home. I was going to treat everyone to a meal, but since I'm here, you guys probably won't be able to eat well, so I won't be staying. Hong Bing, take the brothers out for a good meal. I'm giving you special treatment today. Eat and drink your fill. There's no limit. "
With that, Li Dong stood up. Seeing the others stand up as well, Li Dong waved his hand and said, "Don't stand on ceremony with me. I'll leave first. You guys have a good gathering."
With that, Li Dong walked out the door.
When Tan Yong saw this, he looked at everyone and thought for a moment before saying, "I won't accompany you guys. You all know my phone number. Call me anytime if there's anything."
Everyone nodded and watched the two of them leave.
…
Outside the lounge.
As Li Dong walked, he said slowly, "Go check on Wang Cheng's situation. Be careful, don't let him find out."
Tan Yong's expression froze and he said in a low voice, "There's something wrong with him?"
Li Dong glanced at him and said unhappily, "Is this a spy battle? Everyone has something wrong with them?
Don't worry, I'll get this guy to work the night shift for me.
Haven't you been looking for someone to take over your shift? Wang Cheng then. He's an old acquaintance.
Besides, he's offended Jiang Bin. If he really leaves just like that, there's no guarantee that something will happen to him later. It's a form of protection.
This guy is also a stubborn donkey. I think he's too ashamed to stay. He probably guessed that something happened to Old Zhou.
But he doesn't care, and I can't just stand by and watch. It's hard to say if Jiang Bin remembers him or not, but it's better to be careful. "
Tan Yong could not help but heave a sigh of relief. He nodded and said, "Alright, I'll check it out and let you know when I get back."
"Oh, right …"
Li Dong wanted to continue speaking, but after thinking about it, he decided not to say it.
Actually, he did not want to overestimate some people, but among the 18 people today, it was hard to say if there were any problems with the others. Wu Ping, who continued to follow him, might really be a problem.
500,000 was not a small amount. It was not like they had developed a relationship since they were young, and there was no camaraderie. To put it bluntly, everyone was just trading money.
Wang Cheng's situation was special. He had helped Li Dong do a lot of shady work, so the chances of him getting into trouble were not high.
But Wu Ping did not want money, nor did he want a transfer. He just wanted to continue following Li Dong. That was the problem.
But now that he had left, Li Dong did not want to say anything more. They parted on good terms. These past few days had been troublesome enough.
