As Joe Ga looked at the mercenaries below, who were again beginning to hiss, he smiled and shook his head, and said, "Level 2 salary is 10,000 a year, and then you can go up a level each year, with each increase adding 5,000 bucks, and this increment stops at Level 20.
However, once these soldiers' salaries reach Level 5, they need to participate in an assessment, and only after passing can they be promoted to Level 6.
If they do not pass, they can take a demobilization allowance, which is about a year's salary, and retire back home."
Joe Ga's words silenced the crowd below; a mercenary company offering a salary structure comparable to that of the regular army was a huge surprise to them.
Combined with what they had learned before, the image of P·B immediately became more tangible...
"Sir, what about us? We are not rookies, if we join P·B, what level of salary can we get?"
Joe Ga saw that it was the same eager guy from before, he memorized that guy's appearance, nodded and said, "This recruitment is of two kinds—one is the regular soldier starting from Level 6 salary, and the other is the special forces member starting from Level 10 salary.
Our salary standard is not set high to begin with, but we offer comprehensive medical insurance and pension plans, and adjustments will be made annually based on individual performance.
Going up one level a year is the minimum standard; anything below that means you have already been dismissed..."
Saying this, Joe Ga looked at the crowd below, which had burst into laughter, then he continued, "However, this nice situation of going up a level every year stops at Level 20.
After Level 20, the salary increase per level can be found in P·B's internal handbook, and at that point, each level up will increase the salary by 10,000.
After Level 30, each level up will increase by 50,000.
After Level 40, each level up will increase by 100,000.
Anybody who has the ability to last in P·B until Level 50, will receive a basic annual salary of 1.7 million, and they can still enjoy a combat allowance of 500 a day for each battle mission.
Although I personally think Level 50 is a bit improbable, we have set the salary increase conditions, and I can assure you it's not a pipe dream—you definitely won't need to dismantle nuclear bombs or blow up aircraft carriers...
You all can say whether this ceiling is high enough, right?"
To be honest, for some of the people present, even P·B's Level 6 salary combined with a combat allowance of 500 a day is not considered high for a place like Iraq.
But the security that P·B offers, along with the potential for advancement, is quite enticing!
There's no need to think about the high levels; just making it to Level 20, a person's life is pretty much set.
The old hands still showed some reservation, while the rookies and the Colombians were already getting excited.
P·B's salary and staffing policies are certainly not as simple as Boss Qiao described, but for mercenaries risking their lives for money, it was more than sufficient, and for mercenaries coming from poor areas, it was an offer too good to pass up.
Seeing that most people were beginning to nod, Joe Ga tapped the microphone in his hand and said, "See the trucks on the left? You can now go and get your gear. The equipment for those participating in the Level 6 assessment is a bit different from those participating in the Level 10 assessment...
I can tell you in advance, the first round of the assessment is a tough march...
We will establish a camp in the city of Baida, 85 kilometers away, waiting for you!
The current record for the fastest march is held by a person from China, who completed a 72.8-kilometer forced march in 14 hours.
I'll give you a bit more leeway; those participating in the Level 10 assessment need to arrive within 16 hours, while those participating in the Level 6 assessment need to arrive within 36 hours.
They took a minor road, and you'll be on a highway; if you don't complete it, then I can only regretfully eliminate you.
However, even if you are unfortunately eliminated, aside from firearms, the equipment you receive can be considered a small token from P·B, at least ensuring that nobody's visit was wasted."
As Joe Ga said this, he watched as the crowd below started murmuring to each other, then he said with a smile, "Oh, I forgot to remind you, there are base terrorists active around Baida, and they don't like P·B very much.
So when you're getting your gear, remember to take ammunition and try not to be alone...
Fellas, being a mercenary is no child's play; you need to prove your will and reliability to me, to your future comrades.
I will be waiting for you at the finish line!"
Having said that, Joe Ga saluted with his hand, and Dorian below him struck the hull of the armored car forcefully, then stepped forward and stamped his foot heavily...
