Chapter 155 Technical Director
Chapter 155 Technical Director
He is truly a model employee that would make capitalists cry.
Li Jie must be seriously ill to pay others to work for him.
But think about it, he was so angry with people on the Internet that he went to Iraq to fight, and he was trapped in the basement and almost died. For such a person, it would be wrong for him to be normal.
But the question is, for other jobs, it is acceptable for someone to ask for a salary before joining, but for a killer, can he succeed simply based on his passion?
Gao Yi and Luca looked at each other for a moment. Luca shook his head slightly at first, but after thinking about it, he nodded slightly again.
What do you mean?
Gao Yi looked at Feng Biao and Lin Xianghua. Lin Xianghua didn't react, but Feng Biao was nodding desperately behind Li Jie.
That's fine, you can take Li Jie out for some fun, but you must not let him know too much.
Gao Yi felt that Li Jie was just doing this on a whim. When the novelty wore off or he got bored, he would naturally want to quit. At that time, he could just let him go.
"Well, if you really want to join us, it's not impossible..."
Before Gao Yi finished speaking, Li Jie pulled out a folded A4 paper from his pocket like a magician. Then he said calmly and seriously, "In order to facilitate communication, I printed out my situation."
Employment application form.
Firearms related experience:
Contact: I started to play with real guns in 2010. Before that, I played airsoft. I was initially interested in old guns, and gradually I got to know them better and learned more about them.
Entering the industry: In 2011, when I was a student, I worked part-time as an old gun appraiser at an auction house in California because I had a deep understanding of old guns.
Entrepreneurship and business management: In 2014, I moved to Texas and founded a firearms accessories company, Neontac.LLC, in 2015, focusing on the research and development and sales of high-end firearms accessories and EDC-related products. (Not my main business. I started a company with my friends because I like it. I can earn some pocket money and play with restricted weapons.)
Business direction and capabilities: The company currently has firearms accessories R&D/testing projects, with its main resources in the R&D and production of night vision devices and thermal imaging systems (photoelectric related systems are mainly for civilian use). It has the qualifications to directly receive orders from the US Department of Defense/local military and police.
资质与证书：2016年获得07级联邦枪械买卖/制造许可证以及2级SOT制造许可证，可制造民用级别以及联邦限制级别的全自动、消音器及短步枪等武器。计划明年申请10级买卖/制造许可证（可以制造毁灭性武器以及弹药，如爆炸物/聚能弹头/.50口径以上机炮/重机枪）
Company Location and Facilities: The company is located on a farm in the northern suburbs of Dallas, Texas, which has a shooting range and some processing equipment.
Education: Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering and Aerospace Engineering, currently pursuing an MBA.
Tactical Training: Participated in numerous professional tactics and firearms related courses, such as: various long and short gun tactics, low-light CQB, low-light urban tactics, low-light vehicle tactics, first aid, etc.
Gunsmith training: maintenance/repair of old guns, manufacturing of Soviet light weapons (AK/PKM), professional gunsmith courses provided by mainstream manufacturers. Basically, all new and old guns on the market have been used/disassembled/repaired.
Combat-related experience: Entered Iraq in 2017 and fought the ISA for nearly two months, killing about twenty people during that time and was captured in the final stages of the battle.
Physical and mental health level: Physically healthy, suffering from severe anxiety, moderate depression. (Important reminder, no post-traumatic stress disorder.)
Salary requirements and expectations: You can be paid a manager/person in charge salary of $10,000 per month. If the salary is stopped, you must be notified one month in advance (salary/investment can be increased or decreased according to your level and combat intensity, which needs to be explained and negotiated in advance.)
Everything else seemed good, except for the last salary requirement and expectation, which Gao Yi really couldn't understand.
Gao Yi showed Luca the job application form, which he wasn't sure if it could be considered a resume, and pointed out the last item in particular.
Luca was so happy that he nodded repeatedly and said, "Okay, okay!"
Li Jie looked at everyone and said very calmly: "Do you agree? If you agree, I can start work at any time. Also, I can advance you half a year's salary."
Gao Yi said seriously: "This can't be called salary."
"I also think it's wrong to call it salary, so let's call it sponsorship."
Luca smiled and said to Gao Yi: "Okay, okay, I think it's great."
Bullshit! A person who brought money into the team, even though Li Jie’s words definitely don’t count, what if he doesn’t obey orders?
Seeing Gao Yi still looking hesitant, Luca whispered, "We're not at war here. This is a killer mission. You can give him a job that won't affect anything if he doesn't do it well. What are you afraid of?"
Luca, oh Luca, he is really greedy for money. Even though he is so rich, he still won’t let go of just a few tens of thousands of dollars.
Well, let’s start with half a year’s salary, which is at least $60,000. And $60,000 is a huge sum of money for most Americans.
Gao Yi couldn't help but ask Li Jie: "Are you rich?"
"I'm not that rich, but I still have a few hundred thousand in savings."
Gao Yi was very curious and asked, "Is being a gunsmith so profitable?"
"Being a gunsmith is very profitable, but selling arms is even more profitable. I will import some old guns from the Cold War inventory, dismantle and destroy them so that they can enter the civilian market. I will then use my own parts to replace and repair them and sell them. I can make tens of thousands of dollars for a container."
Gao Yi couldn't help but say: "You are still an arms dealer!"
"Not really. I can only be considered a gun dealer, but I can indeed accept orders from the Ministry of National Defense. From this perspective, I am also qualified to be an arms dealer." Gao Yi hesitated for a moment and said, "We are not mercenaries."
"I know. You are killers."
Li Jie waved his hand and said, "A killer is more suitable for me. I can help you kill those scums, enforce justice, relieve my hatred, and make me feel better."
"You've hit the nail on the head. I follow this principle of acting on behalf of heaven. But the question is, what can you do if you join us?"
Li Jie said seriously, "Do you think that people who have persisted in fighting in the meat grinder hell of Mosul for nearly two months can do anything on the battlefield?"
Feng Biao approached Gao Yi and whispered, "Boss, what he said is true. No matter his background, after two months of continuous street fighting in a place like Mosul, even a fool can become a veteran. The key is that he is a gunsmith. Let him be responsible for our weapons in the future, so as to save a lot of trouble."
Luca whispered, "You don't tell me how much money you can save! And a bachelor's degree in mechanical engineering and aerospace engineering. My God, where can you find such talent? Which assassin company doesn't treat such people like treasures? You can't always rely on outsourcing for everything an assassin needs. If you can do it yourself, how much money you can save... how much trouble you can save!"
Gao Yi made up his mind. He said to Li Jie, "We are Sky Garden, we are a killer organization. We often take on some killer missions. If you are needed, I will let you go. But we must have enemies. If the enemy comes to us one day, you will be in danger and may die."
Li Jie smiled. His smile was very bright. However, if someone can still smile very brightly in this context, then he must have some mental illness.
"That's the best. I like an exciting life."
Gao Yi stepped forward and extended his hand, saying very seriously: "Welcome to the Sky Garden."
"and many more!"
Li Jie said seriously, "Let's sign a written agreement! Let's sign a six-month contract first."
Gao Yi smiled and said, "Don't sign the contract, and don't give me money. I'll give you the money, otherwise it will be hard to settle the account later."
Luca curled his lips. He wanted to say something, but in the end he sighed with a look of pain on his face and didn't say anything.
Li Jie hesitated for a moment and said, "Don't I have to pay? Then what kind of identity do I have?"
"You are just a trainee killer and a trainee mercenary. You have to obey my orders. If you can do it, you will be hired. If you can't, then we will just have a pleasant cooperation this time. I will hire you when I make guns in the future."
Li Jie hesitated for a moment, then he suddenly became excited.
"Intern killer, trainee mercenary, why do they sound so exciting..."
Li Jie happily stretched out his hand and shook hands with Gao Yi, and said excitedly: "Okay, I'll join."
Gao Yi smiled and said, "Welcome, you are now a member of the Sky Garden. We have free time. When there is no mission, you can do whatever you want. When there is a mission, I will summon you. Any questions?"
Li Jie smiled so hard that he couldn't close his mouth. He said, "No problem! This is my favorite working mode. It has a high degree of freedom!"
"But there is one thing. You are not allowed to tell anyone. If you reveal our secrets, we will have no choice but to kill you. This ban is valid for life. I hope you understand the importance of confidentiality."
"I understand, I understand! As a secret organization, no, as an assassin organization, confidentiality is of course very high. If we don't keep it secret, we will lose our lives. Don't worry, I will keep my mouth shut."
Li Jie seemed to understand a lot, but he finally asked expectantly: "As assassins, do we have any unique tokens, or code names that can distinguish us, or badges in assassin organizations? Do we have these things?"
"Yes... yes."
Gao Yi nodded and said, "When you can become a real killer one day, I will give you an identity certification, but don't worry now, you are still in the trainee period."
"Understand, I understand."
Li Jie was very excited. He asked expectantly, "So what tasks are there for me now?"
Gao Yi smiled and said, "Really? First of all, you have to make me a sniper rifle, the kind that never misses a shot, the kind that can hit the target with any shot, with a large caliber!"
Li Jie frowned and Feng Biao hesitated to speak.
After thinking for a while, Li Jie finally said, "It can be done, but a gun like this... is not easy to hold."
Gao Yi smiled and said, "It doesn't matter, as long as you can do it. This is your first test. If you do well, you will be the equipment and technical director of the Sky Garden. Come on, I'm optimistic about you."
