Hong Kong Variety Show: Let you eat melons, eat melons on your sister-in-law

Chapter 368 "368" Cheng Yiyan's Profits

McDonald laughed and said, "That's why we never recruit local mercenaries!"

"Oh?" Lin Yao was somewhat surprised: "How did you figure that out!"

McDonald said with a headache, "These bastards are more eager to eat than anyone else, but they're the laziest when it comes to training. And when a fight breaks out, even if it's just training, their first instinct is to throw down their guns and run away!"

"Or they're like uncivilized bastards, all bloodshot and ready to fight to the death, they have no idea what discipline is!"

Lin Yao said with a smile, "As expected, you were able to tell!"

McDonald said helplessly, "So a large part of our team consists of the Chinese people you assigned to me, and the rest are a few carefully selected individuals! In total, there are less than a thousand people!"

"If it weren't for your military and technological support, boss, we might not have been able to gain a foothold in this godforsaken place."

Lin Yao stroked his chin and said, "Recruitment is indeed a problem, but you can hire the locals as contract workers! It won't cost too much money!"

"Huh?" McDonald's eyes lit up immediately: "This is even possible?"

“Of course, there are many poor people here!” Lin Yao said calmly. “Some less important tasks can be assigned to them…”

McDonald thought for a moment and said, "That's true. This method can indeed be used wherever a large number of people are needed! It's just... more money!"

Lin Yao has no shortage of money, but he lacks elite subordinates.

His elite troops were all precious treasures, and they simply couldn't withstand being worn down.

As for the local indigenous people, there is no problem.

Anyway, people like Suhatuo don't care about the lives or deaths of the local natives.

Lin Yao didn't care anymore; all he had to do was pay.

Xu Jie said to Lin Yao, "Boss, do you plan to extend your influence to other regions?"

Lin Yao nodded: "That's the idea!"

"Then I suggest that in addition to Asia, you should actively explore the market in the Americas!" Xu Jie thought for a moment and said, "After all, all the wars nowadays are related to the United States!"

Lin Yao said with a smile, "Of course I know, but you have to be strong yourself to succeed!"

“That’s not what I meant. We can start by building relationships in America!” Xu Jie said with a smile. “McDonald’s knows a lot of mercenaries, so we can open a branch office first and then gradually build up our strength.”

"After all, America is a country of immigrants, with people from all over the world! And boss, don't you think that people you train yourself are more useful than those you recruit? I think we can start training a batch right now!"

After listening to Xu Jie's words, Lin Yao also felt that they made a lot of sense.

After all, in addition to the group of veterans he trained in Hong Kong, he also trained some children with good character.

Although it would require a large investment, Lin Yao felt it was worthwhile for the sake of future plans.

Moreover, in terms of technology, the United States will definitely be 20 or 30 years ahead, which is also what Lin Yao needs.

Thinking of this, Lin Yao nodded: "I can consider it, but you definitely can't go to America, right?"

Xu Jie said with a smile, "I can't go, but McDonald can! He's an American, and he has good relations with the U.S. military!"

Lin Yao asked curiously, "By the way, I haven't asked you yet, McDonald, who exactly did you offend back then that made you give up such a promising future to become a ruthless bandit?"

McDonald muttered a couple of things: "You already asked before, but I didn't want to say!"

"Hey, you've got a temper now!" Lin Yao said irritably, "What about all those connections you had before?"

“I have connections, but they all cost money!” McDonald shook his head and said, “Those officials are incredibly greedy.”

Lin Yao said calmly, "I'm not afraid of their greed, I'm afraid they won't accept the money!"

“Those officers in the military company, none of them don’t take bribes!” McDonald said decisively. “But boss, you’re not going to transfer me to America again, are you?”

"Isn't it good?" Lin Yao's tone was slightly seductive: "You should know what it means to return home in glory, right? Those guys who have been causing you trouble, those who don't get along with you, what kind of expressions will they have when they suddenly see you transformed into a big boss? Don't you want to see?"

McDonald's breathing quickened upon hearing Lin Yao's words.

He had already begun to fantasize about how he would take Giant God International to high-end places after he returned.

After hesitating for a moment, he gritted his teeth and said to Lin Yao, "I'll take over as boss, but when I get back, I'll need some people to do some side jobs for me!"

Lin Yao asked curiously, "About how you were kicked out of America?"

“Yes!” McDonald said coldly.

"No problem, even if you need to use assassins, that's fine too!" Lin Yao said with a smile, "I have quite a few experts under my command now!"

McDonald was immediately relieved when he heard Lin Yao say that: "Then I have no problem!"

Lin Yao turned to Xu Jie and said, "You've had no problems taking over Giant God Company here recently, have you?"

"No problem!" Xu Jie was also eager to try.

Having been a spy for so long, he also wanted to see what it was like to control a private, militarized company.

Moreover, as a double agent for both the CIA and the KGB, Xu Jie is most adept at instigating wars.

As long as Suharto remains the leader of Indonesia, he can guarantee that the war will not end easily. Therefore, Xu Jie explained his plan to Lin Yao.

Lin Yao stroked his chin and said, "By the way, there's something you can look into too. East Timor was forcibly incorporated into Indonesia and became a province of Indonesia. Many people there are dissatisfied and want to seek independence."

"I think this is also a good starting point. Maybe we can take over someone else's place?"

Xu Jie asked in surprise, "Boss, how did you know about these things?"

“I naturally have my own sources of information, you can consider it!” Lin Yao said directly without answering.

Xu Jie nodded: "It's definitely worth a try!"

Lin Yao continued, "By the way, my intelligence department will also be coming to Jakarta soon. Could you help with the setup? I need to establish an intelligence center in Jakarta!"

"Oh?" Xu Jie was somewhat surprised: "The boss has an intelligence organization under his command?"

"A former MI5 member, his resume is no worse than yours!" Lin Yao said with a smile, "But the English side discarded him after he served his purpose, so I persuaded him to go solo!"

Xu Jie said with a smile, "That would be perfect. I enjoy working with professionals!"

McDonald is a soldier, and working with him was truly painful for Xu Jie.

But those who also came from intelligence agencies had no problem.

Moreover, the other party is MI5, a department that shares intelligence with the CIA, so the integration process will definitely be much easier.

Lin Yao's main purpose in coming to Jakarta this time was to check on the progress of his PMC company's development.

Incidentally... Lin Yao plans to take advantage of East Timor's resistance to develop Indonesia into his first overseas base.

Although Lin Yao is doing well in Hong Kong, he doesn't like to put all his eggs in one basket.

Therefore, in addition to PMC, Lin Yao also plans to invest in Indonesia.

Almost all countries would not reject foreign investment like that of Lin Yao.

This is because it can bring a large number of job opportunities and more tax revenue, thus stabilizing the local situation.

Despite the chaos in Indonesia, they still welcomed Lin Yao.

However, Lin Yao did not rush to make a move, but instead focused on evaluating assets such as energy and electricity.

This is especially true for East Timor.

However, during the inspection, Lin Yao also discovered an unexpected surprise.

That is, there is an English-owned oil company in East Timor.

Although it is not large in scale, it can stabilize the production of oil.

However, none of these are the main points. The main point is that this company is actually registered under Cheng Yiyan's name.

It's estimated that this oil company was bought by Cheng Yiyan, who acted as a front man, using money he embezzled in Hong Kong.

The previous boss was a Spaniard.

"It seems that Cheng Yiyan, this big swindler, still has a lot of money to be made out of him! The more you squeeze, the more surprises you'll find!" Lin Yao remembered that after Cheng Yiyan's Jiawen Century developed, it invested in many projects overseas.

This included not only oil companies, but also shipping companies, and even the purchase of a small town.

These industries were of no use to Lin Yao before, but they are very useful to Lin Yao now.

No, I have to squeeze him dry when I get back. This guy is practically a treasure trove for Lin Yao right now.

After a brief tour of East Timor, Lin Yao returned to Jakarta.

As for investments, Lin Yao would wait until things settled in East Timor before making any decisions; he didn't want to let Suharto benefit from them.

After only a few years in Indonesia, Lin Yao was preparing to return to Hong Kong.

McDonald will return to America first. He has ample funds from Lin Yao and plans to lay the groundwork there.

Lin Yao handed over the phone number of his "good friend," Yuri, a major arms dealer.

The two have a good relationship, and perhaps it will come in handy.

After all, Lin Yao knew that Yuri was the official front man for the United States and could do a lot of things.

McDonald was somewhat surprised: "I didn't expect the boss to have such connections in America!"

"Of course, you don't even know who your boss is!" Lin Yao said with a smile. "I'll make time to visit America sometime, so keep an eye on things there!"

"I understand, boss!" McDonald remembered what Lin Yao had told him before, and suddenly felt full of fighting spirit.

After taking care of some matters, Lin Yao took a plane back to Hong Kong.

"Tsk, I'm going abroad more and more frequently. Should I buy a private jet?" Lin Yao thought, stroking his chin.
