Chapter 210 Security Agreement
Chapter 210 Security Agreement
At the conference table, Thomson was the first to get to the point. He said, "Johnson, Mr. Holmes from your company has already examined Mr. An's details and given him a 3A rating. So, can we complete the rest of the procedures now?"
"No problem," Johnson nodded, opened the briefcase on the table, took out a thick stack of documents, pushed them in front of An Rusong, and said, "Mr. An, this is the relevant security agreement, please take a look."
An Rushong did not take the documents, he just nodded to the other party. Thomson, who was sitting next to him, took the documents and looked through them carefully.
"Mr. An," Marcus next to him spoke at this time. He also took out a sealed document bag from his briefcase and said, "Based on your personal situation, our security strategy team has tailored a similar security plan for you. You can take a look at it."
After saying that, he put the document on the table, then pressed it with his finger and pushed it in front of An Rushong.
Taking the file bag and tearing off the seal, An Rushong took out the documents inside and looked through them page by page.
According to Thomson, the so-called security plan put forward by Blackwater is just a process, the purpose of which is to demonstrate that their service is in place.
Therefore, in An Rusong's imagination, Mr. Marcus would probably give him a crude document and let him take a look at it. But to his surprise, the document he received was very detailed and looked like it was real.
In this document, there is a lot of information about him, such as a series of photos of Songquandong's mansion, NGN Company, etc., the route he usually takes from Songquandong's mansion to NGN Company, the car he takes, etc. The security plan involved in the document is arranged according to this information.
However, even so, An Rushong did not carefully read the contents of the security plan, because in his opinion, these things were not very realistic. If he followed this security plan, then many of his personal privacy and personal freedoms would be strictly restricted.
For now, the reason why he hired bodyguards was just to prepare for a rainy day and prevent accidents, not because he really faced any serious personal threats. Now he is indeed a billionaire, but he is not a big shot, and he does not need any presidential-level security services.
After all, what An Rushong wanted was a bodyguard who could deal with emergencies, not an oversized security guard who would restrict his personal freedom, which would be meaningless.
Therefore, after briefly looking through the security plan, he closed the document and put it aside. Then he looked at Marcus opposite him and said, "Mr. Marcus, I have to reiterate my needs."
Pushing the document to the other party, he continued, "All I need are two bodyguards who can provide me with security. There are many security companies in the Republic of Korea that can provide such bodyguards. The reason why I chose Blackwater is mainly due to three considerations."
He held up three fingers, bending one finger each time he said something: "First, your credibility is better, and bodyguards should be more professional. When I say professional, I mean both skills and equipment. Bodyguards in South Korea are not allowed to carry weapons and equipment that can cause great damage."
"Secondly, the bodyguards you provide have fewer connections with South Korea. Therefore, when they are performing escort work, they are less likely to be affected by the outside world," An Rushong continued.
He had considered questions like this before. What he meant was that if he found bodyguards in South Korea, the families and friends of these bodyguards were basically in South Korea. If some powerful people wanted to deal with him, they would probably start with these bodyguards, which would definitely be disadvantageous to him.
Hiring bodyguards from Blackwater is different. The bodyguards they provide are mostly Korean. It is definitely not that easy for certain forces in South Korea to do something to these bodyguards. The most important thing is that Blackwater itself is very special. People who are not important enough dare not think about Blackwater's bodyguards.
"Third, I may have to travel frequently between South Korea and the United States in the future," An Rusong continued, talking about his third consideration, "Using your bodyguards should save me a lot of trouble."
"As for the security plan you mentioned," he said, spreading his hands, "I don't need it right now. After all, I only need two bodyguards, not two prison guards to watch over me."
Marcus listened to him patiently, then smiled and said, "OK, Mr. An, you certainly have the right to question our services, and we will make appropriate modifications to the security plan based on your actual requirements."
He pointed to the security plan and said, "This security plan is not mandatory. We just want to inform you that as a client of Blackwater, you are entitled to such security treatment."
"Well, as you said, I have now made it clear what rights and interests I can enjoy," An Rusong said, spreading his hands. "So, what's the next step?"
Marcus smiled, took the briefcase again, put the security plan on the table into it, and then took out a light blue file bag from it.
"Mr. An, based on your situation and your needs, our security planning team has selected 500 of the most suitable candidates from the company's more than 24 specially trained and experienced security personnel," he handed over the file bag and said, "Mr. An, you can choose two of your choice from them."
An Rusong reached out to take the file bag. As he took the file bag in his hand, his arms that were raised horizontally fell down. The bulging bag was very heavy. "According to the company's regulations, the bodyguard selected by Mr. An will have a three-month probation period. During this period, if Mr. An is not satisfied, he can choose to change the bodyguard," Marcus further explained while he was tearing open the seal of the file bag, "but Mr. An needs to give a legitimate reason."
An Rushong didn't say anything, but just nodded to show that he understood.
He opened the seal of the file bag and looked inside.
There was only a thick book in the file bag, like a photo album. He took it out and opened the cover to take a look.
Obviously, this is a personal file about a bodyguard. The first person who was opened was named Luo Minzhi, a Korean-American who had served in the 24th Special Operations Squadron of the US Air Force. During the Iraq War in 03, he was wounded in the combat mission to capture Saddam Airport and retired.
In the following two years, this person returned to the United States and received training at Fort Bragg, preparing to return to the army. But for some reason, he suddenly retired from the army two years ago and joined Blackwater as a mercenary.
The information also listed some of the skills this person was good at, including the languages he was proficient in. An Rushong paid special attention to it and found that this person not only could speak English and Korean, but was also proficient in Japanese.
Then, An Rushong just turned the pages one by one until he reached the end.
According to his previous plan, he was going to hire two bodyguards, one male and one female. After reading the information, the male bodyguard he chose was Luo Minzhi on the homepage, and the female bodyguard was a person named Han Sulan.
This Han Sulan is not Korean. She is Singaporean. She once served in the Singapore Special Forces. She became an American citizen three years ago and joined Blackwater.
The reason why An Rushong took a fancy to Han Sulan was not only because she was proficient in Chinese, English, Korean and Japanese, but also because her CQB training score in the training organized by Blackwater Company was "S", which means excellent.
The so-called CQB stands for "close quarters indoor combat". An Rushong had heard of this term in his previous life. At the same time, the results of this item were also highlighted in the bodyguard's file.
Of course, there was another minor factor that made An Rushong choose Han Sulan, which was that she was good-looking. Not only did she have delicate features, but she also had a heroic air.
When choosing a bodyguard, appearance is obviously not important, but the problem is that when all skills are similar or even the same, everyone will choose the good-looking one, after all, it is pleasing to the eye.
Taking out the information of Luo Minzhi and Han Sulan from the booklet and handing it directly to Marcus, An Rusong said, "Let's temporarily decide on these two people."
Marcus took the two people's information and stuffed it into his briefcase without even looking at it. He said, "OK, Mr. An, after the employment agreement is signed and the corresponding payment is received, the two bodyguards you selected will arrive in Seoul within four days and officially perform their duties."
After he finished speaking, he turned to look at Johnson beside him. It was obvious that the work he needed to do had been completed.
Just when An Rushong was selecting his bodyguards, Thomson had already finished reading the agreement. Seeing that An Rushong had finished his work, he moved the agreement over and gave him a look, meaning that there was no problem with the agreement.
An Rushong took a pen from Thomson and, following his instructions, signed his name in several places on the agreement where signatures were required. At this point, the bodyguard employment agreement between him and Blackwater was officially reached.
"Mr. An, it's a pleasure working with you," Johnson put the signed agreement into his briefcase, stood up, stretched out his hand towards An Rushong, and said with a smile on his face.
An Rushong shook hands with the other party.
"Mr. An, I hope we can have a chance to further deepen our cooperation," Marcus also extended his hand to him. "Believe me, Blackwater is the best partner for you to seek security protection."
