Mercenary’s War

Chapter 2377 - 2353: Partners in Joint Venture

The core of the Yemen plan is to hurt Saudi Arabia, forcing them to spend a high price to use mercenaries for combat, but Saudi Arabia has been using mercenaries from the very start, so it’s indeed too early.

The consequences of being too early are not good. It’s secondary that Satan has gained many competitors, the important part is now the difficulty of hurting Saudi Arabia has increased significantly.

Justin didn’t quite understand Gao Yang’s thinking, he said doubtfully, "Isn’t advancing the plan good? You don’t have to push Saudi Arabia to use mercenaries, Saudi Arabia is looking for mercenaries on their own. Now Saudi Arabia is like Libya a few years ago, mercenaries are about to enter another golden period, what more could you want?"

Gao Yang said indifferently, "Because I want to monopolize it."

Justin vaguely knew some of Gao Yang’s plans, so he was puzzled why Gao Yang was dissatisfied, but when Gao Yang bluntly stated his goal, Justin was silent for a long time before saying softly, "Your ambition is too big..."

Gao Yang said indifferently, "Satan, plus Grand Ivan, plus the Cicero Family, enjoying Saudi Arabia’s military outsourcing business alone. Is this considered too ambitious?"

Justin said absently, "I really didn’t know you wanted to monopolize all this, you have to know this isn’t a business worth a few billion; it’s a multibillion-dollar business, and it will have far-reaching effects on the future. Those big companies won’t tolerate anyone monopolizing this business."

Gao Yang remained firm, "America is the largest market, but the American market is already monopolized by a few big companies like Deyang International, we can’t get in. The United Kingdom and Europe are occupied by the old leading companies represented by Armored Group; we still can’t get in. If we have to snatch food from their bowls, it will start a war, and with insufficient strength, we would eventually lose. But Saudi Arabia is different. Saudi Arabia is a new emerging market, as long as we enter early enough with strong power, we can enjoy this market exclusively."

Justin said dissatisfied, "Do you think big companies like Deyang International won’t meddle in Saudi Arabia?"

Gao Yang sighed, "But Saudi Arabia won’t touch the foundation of existing big companies. They will compete but not fight desperately, while we will fight desperately."

Justin was silent, Gao Yang said indifferently, "Do you think I have been preparing my company and bringing people to Yemen for nothing? Anyone who dares to snatch business from me, I’ll break their hand reaching out; hurt them, and naturally, they will withdraw their hands. Since this is just a business, to enter the market, of course, it’s necessary to consider whether it’s profit or loss."

Justin sighed and said, "That’s why I like dealing with smart people like you, left hand fights the right hand, I really like that kind of stuff. Since you’ve said so much, then I’ll offer my price."

"Speak."

"I won’t ask for thirty percent. In any business, I require at least thirty percent, but you’ve just saved me, helped me do so many things. Even if I were cheeky, I can’t ask for thirty percent, so I want twenty percent!"

Gao Yang smiled, "Ten percent, only ten percent, at most ten percent."

Justin was surprised, "I didn’t expect you to haggle with me, buddy, I didn’t ask for more with my twenty percent. I’ll handle all your intelligence full-heartedly, and I’ll also bear twenty percent of the costs, you must understand tilting my influence towards your side comes at a great cost, only twenty percent and you’re still not satisfied?"

Gao Yang said solemnly, "Yes, Grand Ivan will have twenty percent, and there is already someone with another twenty percent shares, we must hold at least fifty percent shares ourselves, so there’s only ten percent left for you; otherwise, I might really not discuss these with you."

Justin said distressingly, "But ten percent is really too little."

Gao Yang smiled, "You also said, it’s not merely a multibillion-dollar business, but a business that will have a huge impact on the future. Our company is destined to become the world’s largest private force, and you will hold ten percent shares, no need for much talk, think about it yourself."

Justin said seriously, "You must understand, I didn’t plan to take shares in my own name, but using the name of the Cicero Family; holding ten percent is really too little!"

Gao Yang continued smiling, "I’ll buy intelligence from you, will you sell it?"

"Of course I’ll sell!"

"Then isn’t that fine? Do I lack your ten percent in shares? Having the Cicero Family join is great, but think about it, when Grand Ivan and I and another influential big shot have started a company together, do we really lack the participation of the Cicero Family?"

Justin was quiet for a long time, then he said softly, "Actually, I know who that big shot you mentioned is, he is indeed very influential. He can help you clear potential obstacles in America, but my role, no, the role of the Cicero Family cannot be replaced by anyone else. Believe me, with the intervention of the Cicero Family, many people will take back the hand they intended to extend!"

Gao Yang smiled, "That’s why I’m giving you ten percent shares."

Justin sighed distressingly, sighed repeatedly, then said even more distressingly, "No room for negotiation? Why do you insist on having fifty percent in shares? Is it necessary? We won’t dilute your shares, nor seize your control, why must you hold half?"

Gao Yang said seriously, "Because what you guys contribute is money and influence, while what we commit is life. Fifty percent is the lowest I can accept; otherwise, I’d prefer not to do it. After all, I can buy weapons, and you won’t stop selling intelligence."

Justin continued in an aggrieved voice, "Should I blame myself for joining too late, or blame you for being so stingy now? Alright, you made a fair point. Since your contributions are more precious, let’s settle it your way."

"A wise choice. Send someone to America and add your name to our company’s board roster."

"No rush on that, you need to tell me what I need to contribute as a shareholder, and what others have to contribute."

Gao Yang said slowly, "Grand Ivan provides weapons, all weapons, and he will pay twenty percent of the costs; you are responsible for our intelligence, and you bear twenty percent of the costs, the other shareholder, they also pay twenty percent of the costs."

"Wait! Wait! Buddy, I pay twenty percent of the costs for ten percent shares? Did you misunderstand something?"

Gao Yang laughed, "Justin, after the Cicero Family just went through this turmoil, don’t you think this company is important for you and the Cicero Family? Besides, aren’t you quite wealthy now?"

Justin said bitterly, "You... Ok, alright, I indeed need a strong enough force to intimidate. Since I have no choice, then settled, ten percent shares with twenty percent of the costs, settled. Please ensure you don’t impose any more harsh conditions!"
