Chapter 360 58
Donkey’s standards for employing people are so good!
There has never been a shortage of poor people in this world, nor has there ever been a shortage of hardworking and diligent poor people, because facts have long proven that one cannot become rich by relying on hard work alone.
Gao Yi himself is the best example. If he wanted to change his destiny through hard work and diligence, he would probably still be an office worker who has no worries about food and clothing but has little savings.
And this is still considered good, because Gao Yi's country has a good environment. He just can't become a rich man, but he can still be a happy ordinary citizen.
There are too many places in this world where you can work yourself to death but still earn little money, and there are too many places where no matter how hard you work, you can't even fill your stomach.
Small wealth depends on hard work, big wealth depends on luck. The real meaning of this sentence is that whether you can earn the first pot of gold is the only possibility for turning your life around and achieving class leap.
If you want to make a lot of money, you can't just rely on that fixed salary, let alone rely on farming.
The Chinese people are already very happy. Even if they don't have extraordinary talents to change their destiny through knowledge, or don't have the connections of their parents to pave the way for them, at least they can still do business. There are many people who have become rich by doing business.
But there are some countries where there are no opportunities to do business, like Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, Yemen, and some parts of Ukraine. People there cannot even guarantee their life safety, let alone talk about getting rich.
However, people in these war-torn areas have a good opportunity to exchange their lives for money.
Of course, if you want to exchange your life for money, you have to follow the right person. Some people only make a few thousand dollars a month as mercenaries, and they think that this amount of money is not small. Some people can make millions of dollars at a time as mercenaries.
So great wealth ultimately depends on fate.
It cannot be said that Feng Biao’s ability is bad, he is a top sniper, but he has been a mercenary for many years, and his dream of saving up one million is still a long way off.
After following Gao Yi for a few days, Feng Biao went from being a pauper to becoming a rich man. In the final analysis, it was because he was lucky to meet Gao Yi.
Because Gao Yi himself had the same experience, he understood as soon as the donkey said it, just like a window paper being broken by a poke.
But the donkey can find a large number of poor people who are eager to turn their fortunes around in a long-term and stable manner. This is his ability and can also be regarded as his exclusive secret.
Just like the private plot mentioned by the fisherman, the donkey must have a very good source of soldiers, a poor place full of poor people, with a tradition of valuing family and relatives, and a very warlike area.
You'll have to ask the donkey about this.
Gao Yi said rudely: "It's better for me to choose by myself than for you to help me find someone. Can you tell me where you go to find someone?"
"Eastern Ukraine, Chechnya, Cossacks, the emphasis is on the Cossacks."
The donkey did not hide anything. He said seriously, "I will never use people from Arabic-speaking areas, no matter how good they look. But the best source of soldiers comes from the Cossacks, especially the Cossacks in Eastern Ukraine. Russians are also OK, but it's a bit harder to find them because Russians have more choices after all. They don't have to rely on fighting to change their fate."
"Oh, that's all?"
"Absolutely, absolutely, absolutely do not use black people, no matter if they are from Africa or anywhere else. Black people are an incompletely evolved race. They have absolutely no sense of responsibility. It has nothing to do with nationality or regional culture. Black people as a group cannot be trusted at all. Therefore, black people cannot be used at all."
Gao Yi laughed and said, "You are being racist."
"Yes."
"There are definitely some black people who are trustworthy."
The donkey said without hesitation: "There are two groups, one bastard in a hundred people, and one good person in a hundred people. Which one do you choose?"
"Of course it's the former."
"That's it. Why should I pick out an apple that's not too rotten from a bunch of rotten apples? Why don't I just pick out an apple that's not very good from a bunch of fresh good apples and keep all the good apples?"
"Makes sense."
Gao Yi couldn't agree more with Donkey's theory. He smiled and said, "Then tell me where you go to recruit soldiers. When I need people in the future, I will also go there to find people."
Donkey spread his hands and said, "My method is not very useful to you. The thing is, I retired from the 76th Airborne Division. I have my own information network. I can find comrades who also retired from the 76th Division. They trust me and know that they can quickly make enough money by following me. They risk fighting for a few years, earn hundreds of thousands of dollars, and go home with their families to live in a safe place. This is their greatest pursuit. But it is not easy to find people in the same group because they don't trust you."
Gao Yi thought for a moment and said, "That's the Wudong area?"
"Yes."
Donkey nodded, and then he said in a deep voice: "The 76th Division will retire and go to fight in eastern Ukraine. Just recruit people from this group. Basically, they will come in one go. Oh, and there is another principle. They must be over and under years old."
"Why is this again?"
The donkey smiled and said, "Because they are poor middle-aged people. They have elderly parents to support and children to raise. Moreover, the children of middle-aged people of this age are still young and have no ability to be independent. When their children are over 18 years old, such middle-aged people basically have no motivation to risk their lives to make money."
Gao Yi is still young and he doesn’t understand the hardships of middle-aged people.
So Gao Yi said very casually: "You have taken advantage of the situation of middle-aged people to the extreme. No wonder your people are so...easy when they go to die."
The donkey was silent for a moment, then said, "It is easy to die, but difficult to live. If dying can make life easier, then their death is very valuable."
After that, the donkey smiled at Gao Yi, and then he said solemnly: "I let people die, and they are all happy, but when they make enough money, no one is willing to die, so when they make enough money, I will change a group of people, that's it, isn't it simple."
"Yes, it's very simple."
Now the people around Gao Yi are all multi-millionaires. Lin Xianghua and Feng Biao are no longer short of money. Li Jie was never short of money. The money that Luca is in charge of now is in the billions.
Brothers who have made enough money and have no reason to take risks but are trustworthy are the foundation that Gao Yi can rely on. Is it appropriate to recruit a new group of poor people and let them do any dangerous things?
Gao Yi thought about it, and then he felt that it would be better to outsource the dangerous things to the Tomahawk Mercenaries.
The way rich people solve problems is always simple and unpretentious: just give money. There will always be people willing to risk their lives for money.
Gao Yi had originally planned to recruit Donkey into the Warhammer Mercenaries. This was his previous idea. He had talked so much with Donkey because he originally intended to recruit him directly after getting to know him in depth.
But after saying this, Gao Yi thought it was better to forget it.
If we recruit the donkey, he will soon become a rich man and a family brother. We can no longer use him for any risky tasks. This will put us in a vicious circle.
After thinking for a moment, Gao Yi said to the donkey: "I like your principles and methods of employing people, and I also recognize your professional qualities and abilities, so I will give you something to do in the future. Is there a problem?"
The donkey said without hesitation: "Of course no problem, I will never let you down!"
The reason why Donkey was willing to say so much to Gao Yi was because he wanted to get Gao Yi's big business in a long-term and stable manner.
Maintaining a stable but appropriate distance is the basis for long-term cooperation.
But there was one thing that the donkey didn't understand. He asked Gao Yi curiously, "Why don't you just hand over the task to Sherkin? To be honest, he's really good. I can't compare to him."
"You know Sherkin?"
"I've only heard of him. He is really a veteran. His mercenary group is very stable because he has the background of the Gwana Company. Well, I must admit that a stable mercenary group is indeed more powerful in combat."
Gao Yi smiled and said, "Your Tomahawk Mercenary Group is already strong enough, which is enough for me. Besides, your goal is simple, as long as you make money, that's all. So here comes the question, Shelkin is not short of money, he has many subordinates and they are very stable, so why does he continue to be a mercenary? Is he pursuing something other than money?"
The donkey laughed dryly and said, "Of course, in the end, what we are pursuing is definitely not money."
"So I can use him once or twice, but not for long-term cooperation. Money is not important to me, but things other than money are important. I will not have too much dealings with a guy whose purpose is unclear."
Considering the donkey's honesty, Gao Yi also rarely spoke frankly to an outsider.
Now they have made a real deal, both of them are quite satisfied with each other, and they can cooperate for a long time in the future.
Gao Yi didn't hear the donkey's real name, nor did he tell the donkey his real name. This was a very suitable distance.
The donkey stepped aside and said, "Then I'll take the people to prepare."
"Okay, go and prepare. You won't be the main force in this operation, so there won't be any casualties, but you will get a lot of money."
Gao Yi gave the donkey a lot of face and benefits.
The donkey nodded, and then he suddenly said: "Do you have to use a pistol? Otherwise, I'll get you a rifle! I modified it, it must be reliable. If it jams, I'll shoot myself in the head."
Gao Yi smiled and shook his head, saying, "Forget it. I'm not good at using a rifle. I'm not good at shooting. It's better to bring a few more grenades than a rifle."
The donkey spread his hands regretfully.
Gao Yi also came up with this idea on a whim. He suddenly said, "By the way, you said that the key to designing a new gun is ammunition. Isn't the United States promoting a new 6.8mm caliber now?"
Donkey shook his head and said, "It won't become mainstream. It still has to be a small caliber, but 5.45 and 5.56 have reached their end. There's no point in that."
"How about the 5.8 caliber?"
Gao Yi said seriously: "The 5.8 caliber is not mainstream now, but it will definitely become mainstream in the future, I said, and there are not many choices of 5.8 caliber guns. Otherwise, how about you design a 5.8 caliber assault rifle based on your own experience and the needs of mercenaries?"
After that, Gao Yi smiled and said, "It's just a suggestion for you, please consider it."
The donkey was stunned for a moment, then said, "Well, I can consider it. I have never come into contact with 5.8 caliber bullets and guns. I wonder if they are hard to find. I will try it later."
Donkey might be perfunctory, but Gao Yi is serious. He smiled and said, "If it's hard for you to find, I'll get you all the guns and bullets. You can try them slowly and study them slowly."
The donkey didn't take it too seriously and said, "Okay, thank you then."
Gao Yi was not a procrastinator. He made a phone call and waited for the call to be connected. He casually said, "Brother, give me all the 5.8 caliber guns and all kinds of ammunition. Is there any problem?"
The person who answered the phone was Abdullah, and this would be troublesome if there was any problem with him.
Abdullah said without hesitation: "Of course no problem, give me a little time, I will send it to you when I get there. How many do you want? A squad, a company?"
Abdullah asked how many men should be equipped.
Gao Yi smiled and said, "One person just needs to test-fire a lot for research. I don't know exactly how many are appropriate. You decide."
After hanging up the phone, Gao Yi said to the donkey: "The problem has been solved. You can try to study it later."
