Chapter 322 Recruitment
Zhang Ailun walked down from the plane, waved to the mercenaries at the airport, and ordered, "Get a car over here."
The mercenary immediately ran to the warehouse nearby and drove a military car over. Zhang Ailun also got in and sat in the passenger seat.
He asked Bailey and Old Jack to get in the car and took them to the port area.
Old Jack looked at the scenery on the island. Not to mention that there was a checkpoint every three steps and a sentry every five steps, there were checkpoints in every important area. There were professional mercenaries standing guard with guns and carrying machine guns. This didn't look like a private island at all. It was simply a military base where death row prisoners were held!
He also exclaimed: "This thing is much better than that Silver Island. The island is so large? How did you get it? It must have cost you a lot of money."
"The island was valued at over $300 million, but I didn't actually pay a cent."
The chief helmsman spread his hands and said in a Versailles way, "As for how he got it, we can only say that the previous island owner got into trouble and did all kinds of bad things. He was caught by our people and took the initiative to abdicate. He was also the financial backer who invested in those crazy people from Heaven Gate in the Kiliya Mountains."
"He's dead?" Old Jack said in surprise.
"No, he is still a guest at Madison's place, enjoying a life of luxury. I did not participate in abusing him, and I have basically no grudge against him. I just provided some intelligence help," said Zhang Ailun.
He has become a vegetable, but he still has everything he needs provided for him. He doesn't even need to open his mouth, a tube is inserted directly into his body.
Old Jack didn't ask any more questions. He could tell by just thinking with his heels that the other party would not end well, and his wealth would be divided equally by the enemy.
They arrived at the port area and stopped the car on the side of the road. The staff of General Electric Boat Company also got off the destroyer and landed on the island. Zhang Ailun also went over to say hello to them.
"Hello, Mr. Jin, we have delivered this destroyer to you on time, and we have also received news from the company that the final payment has been received. Our people have sorted out the relevant design drawings and delivered them to your people, so that you can understand its structure and circuits, as well as replace parts. If you have other questions, you can also take the initiative to contact our engineers, and we will provide on-site maintenance services at market prices." The people from General Electric Boat Company said enthusiastically.
Zhang Allen looked at the boxes of design drawings that were taken down from the destroyer. There were at least twenty boxes. Although the design of this thing was not as complicated as that of an aircraft carrier, it was also very complicated. The precise drawings and data model design alone weighed at least nearly a ton!
Even if ordinary people buy it, they still need to find professional engineers to maintain and repair it, which costs a lot of money. But fortunately, the chief has reliable ground sheet metal workers, so there is no need to worry about this.
"If I really encounter a difficult problem that cannot be solved, I will take the initiative to contact you."
Zhang Ailun smiled and shook hands with the other party. Looking at the scale of dozens of people, he said, "Have you thought about how to get back?"
"We have already booked a sightseeing tour boat from Lake Cruise Company in advance. There will also be yachts passing by this route. They will arrive in 20 minutes at most."
The engineer said: "When there are ships coming, I hope you can allow them to stop at the island's bay port for a few minutes so that we can board the ship."
"Ok, that's not a problem." Zhang Ailun nodded, knowing that they had already arranged a way to get back, so he stopped worrying.
He waved and called over the Beggars' Sect disciples, asking them to take them to the island for a tour.
I went over to say hello to Qibatu, and there were twenty or thirty more people around him, all of whom looked like strangers.
However, the chief leader had already learned about their life resumes through intelligence. Although he didn't introduce much, he knew what they did in the past.
Although everyone has some West Coast characteristics and likes to smoke, drink, perm their hair and order takeout, they are also relatively reliable people.
As a man, how can you be called a man if you are not lustful?
Being a manly man... that's fine. A real man should welcome men directly and make love to men.
The chief leader doesn't care, as long as you have the skills, it's enough.
Qibatu also took the initiative to introduce his newly recruited personnel to the chief leader. They were all retired navy officers who had served on warships. More importantly, they were instructors who could help the chief leader train professional navy officers.
"This is my friend Spike. He divorced his wife due to a cold war, and needed to pay child support for his child and his ex-wife. We happened to be recruiting here, so I contacted him and he chose to come and join me."
Qibatu pointed to the slightly fat bearded man next to him and said, "He served on the Spruance-class destroyer before. He knows more about this destroyer than I do. He is absolutely reliable!"
“…” Zhang Ailun looked at Spike with watery eyes, who looked like he had been deeply loved, and couldn’t help but gasp.
Slightly fat, with a beard. This is indeed a standard feature of the Bashu region, and fits the chief leader's stereotype of gays.
"You don't have to worry about the salary when you work on the island. I can guarantee that each of you will be well paid. However, due to the special location, you have to sign a confidentiality agreement, and you will rarely have the opportunity to go back home in a year. Are you sure you can stand the loneliness? Have you notified your family? Are you allowed to come and work here?"
Spike didn't have to worry, as their old relationship had been rekindled and Chibatu had already taken it down hard.
Zhang Ailun mainly asked other people.
"Mr. Jin, when we were working in the army, we didn't go home for many years. This time, when we heard that we would come to the island to work, we were mentally prepared." Someone said.
"Compared to reuniting with our families, we want to make more money. They will understand us."
"I have no family."
Said the thin but muscular man.
“……”This one is even more heavyweight.
Zhang Ailun got to know them better, and then asked the Beggars' Sect disciples to draft a contract, asking them to sign a confidentiality agreement and two-and-a-half-year employment terms. The internship period would start with a one-week paid trial period, and if they could pass the test, they would be directly converted to full-time employees.
The configuration is based on the titles of the navy, with captains making $60 an hour, vice captains making $55 an hour, sergeants and other soldiers making $40-50. Technical and medical personnel are not configured for the time being, because they do not need to go out to sea for the time being, which is also the job of Chibatu and others.
The amount of casualties and compensation subsidies will be determined based on the terms of the mercenary employment contract. There will also be additional bonuses for emergency missions.
Later, when the destroyer is modified, the chief leader will also consider recruiting more people, as they are basically useless now.
It only needs to be able to activate the littoral combat ship, carry out daily patrols and self-defense counterattacks, and lend a hand on the destroyer.
This benefit is much more generous than what the Navy offers. The retired soldiers present agreed without hesitation and signed the employment contract, fearing that they would not be able to get the job if they were slow to sign.
After sorting out the personnel deployment for the littoral combat ship, Zhang Ailun also asked them to study the drawings of the modified destroyer on their own and discuss how to deal with this behemoth.
The chief leader was still thinking about working with the engineer Prian and several mercenaries on the island to deal with the monitoring devices when he received news from the airport tower.
"Boss, there is an airliner that wants to land at our airport. It was booked in advance." The mercenary in the tower said through the intercom.
"Have you made an appointment? With whom?" Zhang Ailun was a little confused. How could he, the island owner, not know about it?
Soon the female assistant Gwen came over and explained the situation to the chief leader, "Boss, the chef and waiter we recruited should be here."
Zhang Ailun suddenly realized that he had indeed asked Gwen to recruit chefs and waitresses, but he did not expect that the other party had accomplished the task so quickly.
He picked up the intercom and ordered, "Don't stop them, you can let them go." "Got it."
A few minutes later, a small passenger plane was seen landing at the island airport from a distance.
Zhang Ailun also boarded the military factory with Gwen and headed to the airport to pick someone up.
"Boss, their crew members still want to refuel here." Not long after, the mercenary sent another message.
"Let them add it, just give them the money." Zhang Ailun replied.
Then he asked, "Do we have enough gasoline and diesel reserves?"
"The backup generator diesel reserves are enough for two months. Gasoline is mainly used for vehicle consumption and aircraft fuel consumption. It could last for half a month before, but now we don't have so many planes, so it can last for about one and a half months. The photovoltaic solar power station on the island is also sufficient for daily electricity use. Diesel is relatively only used by small speedboats and fuel engines." The mercenary replied.
"It's too little. Contact the oil company that previously supplied fuel to Jehovah Island and have them ship the oil over by sea. Our warships also need to be refueled, and they are big consumers of fuel." Zhang Ailun ordered.
The littoral combat ship uses a diesel-gas combined power system, equipped with two MT2 gas turbines developed by Rolls-Royce and four diesel engines. The total power of the gas turbines is 30 megawatts, while the total power of the diesel engines is 4 megawatts. In addition, the littoral combat ship is also equipped with four diesel generator sets, each with a power of 72 kilowatts, to provide electricity.
Just imagine how much gas it would take to take this thing out for a spin every day! Poor people really can't afford military toys, so they can only buy private jets to play with.
"Understood." The mercenary replied.
"Boss, I will also take care of these things." said the female assistant Gwen.
"I'll have someone open a separate financial account for Jehovah Island, which will be used for employee salary payments and material purchases." Zhang Ailun took out his mobile phone and contacted Dave, asking him to help register an economic account for Jehovah Island, which would be funded by the foundation every month.
The individual business registered by Prian has been closed down, and the island is now the asset of the chief leader, so the other party’s personal account can no longer be used.
Moreover, Prian had previously bought a lot of miscellaneous things through his personal account, and these things might not be allowed to be seen in the public eye.
Although there are still some orders that have not arrived and are scheduled for two months later, and the money has already been paid, the leader has no intention of taking any other things except two private jets worth 30 US dollars and a medical equipment worth 8 US dollars.
After taking over the island, he would definitely empty the trash cans and cut off all ties with his predecessor, to avoid the possibility that someone from the CIA would come and make trouble, accusing his island of secretly engaging in human trafficking and drug abuse.
Gwen also took the chief's instructions to heart. In just one day, he had recruited chefs and waiters who were willing to work on the island and booked flights for them.
After all, the salary and benefits for the island's employees are indeed very generous. Apart from the limited freedom of movement, the island also has everything you need for daily life. Of course, many people are willing to come here to work. And the people Gwen looks for are basically people in the industry who have had similar work experience.
After arriving at the airport, the passenger plane filled up with fuel, paid for the fuel, and then turned around and drove away again.
More than 30 staff members, both men and women, were left at the airport, carrying large and small suitcases.
There are more than a dozen chefs and more than twenty waitresses, all with blonde hair, blue eyes and long legs, dressed brightly and beautifully. Those who know them might think they are here to work as waitresses on the island, while those who don’t know might think they are a model team that came here on a chartered plane. These are all takeouts ordered by the chief!
Gwen also went over to negotiate with them, and found the leading chef and said hello to him.
"Gwen, I didn't expect that you stopped working with Mr. Madison and found a new boss." The two were obviously acquaintances and were high school classmates.
"John, I got you this job because of your cooking skills. I hope you can work hard and not mess this up."
Gwen said sternly, "Although Mr. Jin is more tolerant and easier to talk to than Mr. Madison, considering that you got the waitress pregnant and got fired, your reputation as a chef at Michelin is now worthless. No one in the industry will pay you a high salary. You need to be more restrained!"
"Please rest assured, Manager Gwen, I am very short of money. I will cook for whoever gives me money. I promise I won't do it again!" John said hurriedly.
"Very good, the position of chef is still yours." Gwen nodded.
"Hello Mr. Jin!!"
When more than thirty people saw the leader get out of the car and walk over, they immediately greeted him respectfully.
"Hello. Welcome everyone to work on Jehovah Island. You are all employees personally screened and recruited by Gwen. I am of course very confident in your personal qualities. If you have any needs or questions in the future, you can contact Gwen. She is responsible for managing all the affairs on the island for me. I also hope that you can do your job well. Of course, I will not be stingy with your salary and bonus." The chief also gave a speech with a smile.
"Thank you, boss. We are ready for the challenge and will definitely do a good job." The waitresses said with a smile.
"..."
Seeing them like this, the leader felt that they were indeed ready.
It's time to get ready for the promotion.
There is no way, because the leader is rich, young and promising. With such a boss, who wouldn't have other thoughts?
Zhang Ailun called the mercenaries and asked them to arrange accommodation for these people and then familiarize themselves with the work location. Jehovah Island lacked everything except houses and residences.
He also reminded Gwen to supervise the employees' private lives. It was okay to find someone to share with to satisfy their physical needs, but it couldn't be too outrageous and safety measures had to be taken.
Don’t let the situation turn out that within two months everyone gets pregnant and you don’t even know whose baby it is.
Then the chief leader will have no choice but to kill everyone and fire them all!
"Boss, don't worry. I had them go to the hospital to get IUDs before they came here. There won't be any problem like this. You can have fun as you like." Gwen promised solemnly.
Then he whispered, "Boss, I'm wearing it too, so you don't have to worry. You can do whatever you want."
"..."
Zhang Ailun took a deep breath and said, "It's still you who has to do the job and make the boss feel at ease."
He pinched her buttocks hard and said with satisfaction, "Go to work!"
After seeing off the employees and Gwen on the island, Zhang Allen took a car back to the villa area, took out the map of Jehovah Island, compared it with the layout of the surveillance equipment on his mobile phone, and confirmed where the sixty electronic devices were.
As luck would have it, there was a monitoring device in the villa. Zhang Ailun searched around and pried open a corner of the wallpaper behind the bookcase in the villa. Sure enough, he found the monitoring device flashing red.
Tsk.
Damn! The room was full of listening devices. How did Prian and Laoden sleep before?
The matter was of great importance, so the chief leader immediately called for the engineer and the mercenary leader White Wolf.
