Chapter 591: Chapter 278 Recruitment
Driving away from the Southern Court, the General Sect Leader delegated the project coordination issues between Pike Company and Blue Company to Reko and other company staff.
They were energized upon hearing that Blue Company would compensate and hurriedly took people to demand the payment.
Allen Zhang also received a message from Zorro, who had disappeared for two days without reporting any progress on the mission due to lack of intelligence, it seemed as if they had vanished into thin air.
The approach was clear: be diligent and responsible, if successful, it’s the team’s greatness, if a failure, it doesn’t relate to the General Sect Leader. Dying elsewhere would be the end of it.
Zorro: Boss, the mission is complete, we are preparing to catch a noon flight back to Los Angeles.
Allen Zhang: You’ve worked hard, what’s the exact arrival time? I will welcome you back.
Zorro: In over two hours we’ll arrive, no need for a meal, we already had the airplane meal, but prepare some fine wine, and don’t forget to settle our payment.
Allen Zhang: Ok. For such talents, I will not short-change them of three hundred thousand dollars even by a cent.
After chatting a bit more and understanding the details of their operation, he didn’t hesitate to praise them.
Assassins of course prefer to move in the dark, but daytime is actually easier to manage.
With the location information provided by Blitz, the first few targets were easily neutralized, the others were more tricky, living in villas with security teams, but this did not impede them.
Because the directors, used to luxurious lives, would only ever backstab others, no one could successfully betray them, completely unguarded; besides trying to make money through oil, their favorite activity was hosting silver parties.
Among the colleagues recruited by Zorro, one disguised as a Call Girl infiltrated and seduced the target, then injected him.
The others, despite many flaws, cooperated and easily infiltrated by climbing over the wall.
Allen Zhang then informed the Beggar Gang Disciples, handing over sixty thousand dollars to be passed to Warthog for settlement, while he himself returned to Pike Company’s office building to supervise the sneaky senior managers.
Blue Company’s financial department received the court’s summons and was figuring out how to gather funds to settle the amount and debts, estimating it would take 3-5 days to transfer to Pike Company’s account, but in reality, it could take longer, even possibly leading to forced execution of bankruptcy.
Anyway, the boss was incarcerated, and personal assets would also be seized by the court.
When the company faced issues, shareholders would definitely be the first to bail out, converting their shares into cash, completely absolving themselves of responsibility.
A large company experienced a severe blow overnight, facing similar situations and troubles as Pike Company, they also had limited funds available for compensation unless, like Pike’s owner, they sold equipment and premises for cash.
Blue Company’s investments were mostly in the industrial sector, similar to Pike Company, with not much money actually on the books, profits were reinvested into buying recycled metals or setting up new workplaces, purchasing new equipment, or distributing dividends to shareholders; the larger the scale, the more places there were to spend, but was there really so much money in the account?
There was some tens of millions of dollars in liquid assets, but definitely not hundreds of millions available at once, which would be crippling.
But Allen Zhang allowed them to use their equipment and premises to clear debts, after all, the General Sect Leader was rather reasonable.
Whatever amount Pike Company previously compensated and whatever equipment and premises they sold, they just needed to make up for it.
Allen Zhang sat in his office browsing his phone, as the afternoon approached, Qibatu sent a message to the General Sect Leader, reminding him that the parts for A10 Warthog had been transported by the staff from the airplane graveyard, requiring payment of the final amount and provided the account information.
Allen Zhang glanced at the account information, which remained the official and private accounts of the airplane graveyard.
He forwarded the account to Dominic, who through the Hanberger Foundation transferred money to the recycling station, and then he instructed him to transfer 1.1 million dollars to clear the bill through several recycling station accounts.
Malusen: I have received your transfer, happy to cooperate. If you have similar needs, do contact me.
Allen Zhang: Are you selling F16?
Malusen: Such items are not easy to procure, very strictly regulated. What do you think an F16 is?
Allen Zhang: An antique from the last century, can’t it be purchased with money? I only need retired or refurbished planes, only buying the parts is okay, my people can assemble it themselves, isn’t there an F16 for sale on Opportunity Network? Even the military districts are selling, one F16 costs only twenty million dollars.
Malusen: If you have the money, of course, you can buy it. Twenty million? You surely don’t lack funds. Buying a fighter jet requires qualifications, what do you need it for?
Allen Zhang: To sell.
Malusen: …An F16 is much more expensive than an A10, the price varies depending on model configuration and the time of purchase, generally ranging from twenty million to seventy million dollars, usually, it’s just for collectors, without professional pilots they can’t operate; you better have a strong idea if it is the F16V model I can’t help, because even the airplane graveyard I work at has only a few of this updated model, can’t make a complete plane. But if it’s a standard F16 or A/B, C/D model, I can still try to obtain some parts for you, even the N model of the simulator, but I’m unsure about timing.
