Rebirth: Super Banking System-Chapter 924 - 809: Base (Subscribe please!)

He Liang only found out about these things after going abroad.

Domestically,

when He Liang first joined the company,

he knew only of a headquarters in Qingyan City. The headquarters wasn’t large, located on the fringe of the Qingyan City Development Zone, comprising a small two-story office building, a single-story indoor training facility, and a three-story accommodation building.

Next to it was a large training ground.

Everyone who joined the Security Company was required to undergo a half-month restoration training. There were also a few cars and an ordinary bus; beyond that, things were just passable.

That was all he saw at first.

He thought the company was struggling to survive, with so few core assets—just these things and the personnel. If that was the case, the company’s future was really uncertain, and there was always the risk that they might suddenly become unable to pay wages.

Later,

he learned that their boss was actually the chairman of Sheng Tang Group, which provided him with some relief—at least he didn’t have to worry about not getting paid anymore.

But he still didn’t feel entirely secure.

After all, it’s not easy for a security company to make money.

An unprofitable industry—how much could the boss truly value it? It could be considered a non-preferred asset and might be sold off, even though the manager repeatedly assured them that the boss was wealthy and wouldn’t sell.

He still felt uneasy inside.

Until he was dispatched here.

He truly realized the company’s immense wealth and broad business ventures. From then on, he no longer worried about unpaid wages. With such scale, there was no semblance of financial shortage.

Yet, his curiosity grew. Why was their boss doing this?

Was it merely out of admiration for soldiers,

and to provide them with a job that offered generous compensation?

......

After He Liang’s explanation,

the team members’ eyes lit up when they saw the vehicles, the bulletproof equipment. Anything with the word ’bulletproof’ held an immense appeal to them.

It wasn’t like they hadn’t ridden in cars worth over ten million before.

Such advanced equipment, ten million was just the starting price.

But a coach worth at least ten million RMB was something they truly hadn’t experienced; sitting in the seats, they felt the low rumble of the powerful engine, dragging this moving hunk of metal along.

Half an hour later,

they arrived at the company’s suburban base.

After passing through two layers of security, they discovered that this area was actually the wealthy district of Kinshasa, with various sizable villas to the left and right, entirely different from the dirty, disorganized, and crowded areas outside.

Asphalt roads.

Lush greenery.

Brick walkways.

And the clean-dressed sanitation workers.

He Liang explained, "Due to the severe security issues inside Kinshasa city, the company bought a quite large villa here and had it renovated. The next few days, your pre-post training will also take place here.

The villa has all living necessities, so there’s no need for you to go out shopping. During these training days, you are not permitted to leave on your own. Before you depart, this bus will specifically take you for a tour around the city, but you can’t get off..."

He Liang kept stating the rules.

The team members listened attentively.

This place, from the airport, seemed entirely chaotic, with African military police visible everywhere. They had no interest in going out looking for excitement. How wonderful it would be to stay in the villa.

Shortly,

upon arriving at the villa,

they noticed the dense barbed wire atop the surrounding walls and the full-view surveillance cameras. The gate at the villa entrance was not the thin iron gates of other wealthy civil residences but an electric gate with a thickness of five centimeters.

Of course.

It could also be opened with a hand-cranked mechanical device.

At the entrance, there were two persons wearing company uniforms on guard, their waists bulging, obviously carrying guns.

This made them feel not like they had arrived at a company base but at a heavily guarded base, which was completely different from the domestic one; the domestic base only had surveillance cameras and thin metal doors.

The gate slowly opened.

The two people at the entrance saluted them, signaling a welcome.

As soon as they entered the villa.

They found a green space with many vegetables planted, and in the corner of the wall were some poultry, though there were fewer poultry mainly vegetables.

"The vegetables here are insanely expensive, and there aren’t many varieties, but transporting vegetables from overseas isn’t fresh, so we planted a lot here, especially those that are not available or are expensive here. When you go to the mining field, growing vegetables and breeding will also be part of your work."

While speaking.

He Liang pointed in a direction and said, "We put two hunting dogs in every corner and in the middle, all of which have been specially trained, so don’t provoke them normally. Although they have never bitten anyone indiscriminately, it’s still wise to be cautious."

Following He Liang’s direction, they saw two sizable hunting dogs lying quietly inside a cage at the corner of the wall. The dogs weren’t tied up, and the cage was open.

There were two kinds of hunting dogs: one was the police dog type from Huaxia, and the other was a pitbull. They were motionless, barely glancing up when the car came in, but their eyes never left them.

Their gaze informed outsiders.

That any living creature within sight was under their surveillance.

However.

The saying goes, "A barking dog never bites."

This is a saying passed down from our ancestors.

...

The vehicle slowly stopped at the parking lot.

The team members hurried off.

Formed into three lines.

He Liang continued with his work.

"The General Manager is not here, so I will be hosting this training session. I’ll first take you to where you will be staying, and you should feel lucky. The conditions here are quite good. I understand that even the large central enterprises do not have the office environment and security level that we have.

"Even at the mines, it’s the same. What they have, we have, and what they don’t have, we still have.

Ha ha, one of our mines had a central enterprise neighbor, and they always bought daily necessities from us. Plus, the local tribes wouldn’t let them hunt or fish, something we usually don’t care about."

He Liang chuckles as he talks about this.

It’s all about differential treatment.

Domestically.

Central enterprises are the big bosses. Everything they have is the best.

But once overseas, they can only lie low.

Local hooligans dare to extort them. Usually, they’d give something to avoid disaster.

If the local tribes forbid something, they can only comply.

But their company is different. As far as He Liang knows, almost every mine that their company handles security for in Africa is considered ’first-class’, and nobody dares to extort them.

If there is any attempt, it likely gets intercepted by surrounding tribes on the way here.

Influenced by an unknown force, as long as they don’t go too far, neighboring tribes and forces tend to cooperate as much as possible.

Life is quite comfortable.

Of course.

They are not complacent.

All security guards aren’t fools; surely the company did some work behind the scenes, paying a price.

Otherwise, these tribes and forces wouldn’t be so well-behaved.

But nothing is absolute. Even if they’ve dealt with the trouble nearby, plenty of potential dangers remain.
