50s: Starting with a storage ring

Chapter 612 Airport security is really unmanageable
The truth is, those above felt he was really important, and the results he brought were very good.

However, due to the need for secrecy and the lack of need to report the progress of military technology to Sun Zhiwei, he misunderstood.

Most importantly, our family has too strong a sense of crisis, and we've now developed a habit of keeping our equipment and technology hidden.

For example, the tiered R&D model that later became popular—eliminating one generation, mass-producing one generation, equipping one generation, developing one generation, reserving one generation, conducting pre-research on one generation, and exploring one generation—has already taken shape.

Therefore, his family went to great lengths for his safety, even sending out their top-tier guards.

Logically speaking, even if the four of them were discharged from the army, they wouldn't have to worry about resettlement. I don't know how Xu Yimin persuaded them.

Later, he asked Xu Yimin and learned some things from him.

Although the four of them served in a prestigious unit, they were unable to be promoted to officer, so they were not assigned good jobs after their discharge.

Moreover, there is a secrecy factor involved. Many of their experiences cannot be mentioned, which means that even after they return to their hometowns, they cannot receive special treatment because of their past achievements.

These four families are indeed in difficult circumstances and genuinely need care. If they are left unattended, many problems are likely to arise.

This trend is already emerging, just like the aggressive "big circle and small circle" groups on the streets of Hong Kong Island today – that's how it came about.

But this kind of care is difficult to manage at home. It's not that people are worried about scarcity, but about inequality. And it's not just a few people who are in trouble. Once this precedent is set, it will be hard to clean up the mess.

As a result, Xu Yimin thought of Sun Zhiwei's side. Coincidentally, Tong Jiajia needed security, so the four of them were sent over.

They were lucky to be able to work for Sun Zhiwei, because Sun Zhiwei was not short of money.

He didn't need to take special care of them; he could quickly resolve their families' predicaments by simply paying them their salaries according to America's normal standards.

Their arrival also brought many changes to Sun Zhiwei's home.

First of all, with the addition of monitoring and alarm equipment, in the words of team leader Dong Haoyang, this house is practically defenseless except for the walls.

So he devised his own defense system, asked Tong Jiajia for money, and bought a whole bunch of security equipment, installing it all over the villa.

Sun Zhiwei did not object to this.

He used to be too lazy to bother with it, since as long as he was with himself, the space would protect him and he would detect any danger before it even got close.

However, as technology becomes more and more advanced, many things can no longer be solved by space alone.

For example, a small listening device could be installed in a mobile phone with increasingly complex components.

Even with spatial perspective, he couldn't tell which part was faulty; making that judgment requires specialized knowledge and hardware/software equipment.

In addition, he sometimes goes out on missions, and once he is separated from Tong Jiajia, Tong Jiajia's safety becomes a problem.

Therefore, Dong Haoyang agrees with the protection of the residence.

However, there's something I have to tell them beforehand, because he doesn't just have one house; if he's going to renovate, he'll definitely renovate all of them.

"Hey Xiao Dong, I think this security system installed in my home is pretty good. How about we design and install it in my other houses as well? What do you think?"

“Mr. James, no problem, that’s our job. Please provide the address of the house so I can visit it in person and design a comprehensive security plan.”

"Oh, right, right, then write it down."

Dong Haoyang immediately took out a small notebook and a pen from his pocket to take notes.

“纽约市曼哈顿区81街区中央公园北206号，曼哈顿区77街45号，曼哈顿区西79街106号。”    “其中，81街和77街的是两套独栋，79街的是一套6层公寓楼。”

"And you can help me design security measures for a few more of my shops as well."

Dong Haoyang paused for a moment after hearing this, and only continued taking notes after hesitating to speak.

"There are two shops here in Washington, one is an antique shop and the other is a small bar, and they are connected."

“There are three jewelry stores and a foundation office in New York, and the security equipment at LaGuardia Airport is outdated and needs to be upgraded.”

“I also have several gold mines in California, and right now security is all done by manpower. It would be better if we could also have a set of high-tech monitoring equipment.”

As Sun Zhiwei recalled the specific addresses of his businesses, he counted on his fingers.

Dong Haoyang had stopped writing and looked at Sun Zhiwei with a hint of despair, saying:

“Mr. James, there are only four of us. Residential security design is manageable, but the airport and gold mine are beyond the capabilities of just a few of us.”

"For security systems in large-scale industries, you might need to hire a more specialized company to help you with the overall planning. None of us are good at this kind of large-scale design."

"Oh, really? Alright then, you can set up security systems for these houses for me. I'll figure out a different way for the properties."

Sun Zhiwei secretly lamented that such free labor could not be used to its full potential.

He knew those security companies well; they dared to ask Sun Zhiwei for 10 billion yuan to design an airport security system, and that didn't even include the cost of future system upgrades.

He figured that his businesses would grow in number, and it would be impossible to outsource the security system for all of them, nor would it be possible to build a security department for each business, as that would be too expensive.

He glanced at Dong Haoyang, who was taking notes, and thought of the large number of outstanding soldiers who would be retiring next year.

With so many people retiring at the same time, it would be good if their families could arrange employment for a small portion of them; most soldiers would end up seeking employment on their own in society.

If he can help solve the employment problem for some people, I believe his family will be very happy.

"Hey Xiao Dong, I have a question for you."

“Mr. James, please speak.”

"Are there many retired soldiers among you? Are they easy to find work for?"

Dong Haoyang didn't quite understand what he meant, but still answered selectively: "Every year there are people who retire, and as for the specific resettlement issues, they should all have jobs."

"I know what you mean. If you don't pick and choose, you'll definitely find a job, but it's hard to say what kind of company it will be, right?"

"Well, that's right."

"I understand. Now, let me ask you another question: was the process complicated when you came out?"

Are you planning to hire another batch of people?

"Yes, I have many businesses that require security. If I hire other security companies for them all, the cost would be too high."

"Why don't we do it ourselves? That way we can ease the burden on our families. Wouldn't that be a win-win situation?"
