Rebirth of the Hong Kong Millennium Conglomerate

Chapter 12 Blackwater International and Black Ice Platform

The mornings at Repulse Bay always carry a touch of gentle comfort. The faint morning light pierces through the thin veil of morning mist, sprinkling onto the courtyard of the magnificent villa halfway up the mountain. The white magnolias in front of the porch are in full bloom, their pale white petals glistening with dewdrops. A gentle breeze blows, and the fragrance of the flowers, along with the salty sea breeze, permeates the entire courtyard.

At this moment, the living room of the villa was not filled with any leisure or comfort, but rather with a solemn and heavy atmosphere.

Ten tall, straight men stood in neat rows, their uniform outfits highlighting their broad shoulders and narrow waists. They exuded a cold, hard aura honed from years of missions. Their faces were expressionless, their eyes sharp as eagles, all fixed on the man at the head of the living room. These were the ten squad leaders of the special forces team that Zhang Zeyang had gathered.

After returning from escorting gold from India, they had been on standby. Although they looked respectful, there was a hint of anticipation in their eyes—they knew that the master had summoned them all for a new mission.

Zhang Zeyang sat upright on the leather sofa, his fingertips lightly tapping the armrest. His gaze slowly swept over the ten squad leaders in front of him, each face clearly imprinted in his mind. These people were the most solid military foundation outside of his business empire, and his source of confidence.

After his gaze swept over the last person, Zhang Zeyang slowly raised his eyes and said, "I have summoned you here because I have an important task to assign to your ten teams. Listen carefully and do not make any mistakes."

Upon hearing this, the ten squad leaders straightened their backs even more and replied in unison, "Yes, sir!"

A unified voice rang out, and Zhang Zeyang nodded slightly, continuing, "Two of the teams will remain for now. Their core mission is only one—to protect the safety of me and my sister."

The two squad leaders who were called upon immediately stepped forward half a step, raised their hands in salute, and said, "Understood! Mission accomplished!"

"Okay." Zhang Zeyang nodded, signaling them to return to their teams. His gaze swept over everyone again, and his tone remained firm. "I will divide the remaining eight teams into two groups. First, the fourth team, your task is to establish a security company, which will be divided into two sectors."

He paused, then emphasized, "The first part is the formal security business, with headquarters located in Hong Kong. I've already decided on the name: Eternal Security."

This company must operate openly and legally, undertaking business such as corporate security, private protection, and escort services in Hong Kong, and must comply with all regulations.

The ten squad leaders listened intently, none of them daring to lose focus.

"As for the second part," Zhang Zeyang changed the subject, a cold glint flashing in his eyes, "we will secretly develop it into a mercenary group, and name it Blackwater International."

Remember, Blackwater International must publicly sever all ties with Qian Gu Security, not even the slightest connection. They must be completely independent. You must find your own ways to conceal your identities and absolutely not reveal any connection between the two.

He paused briefly and clearly defined the scope of their activities: "Blackwater International's mercenaries mainly operate in Southeast Asia, Africa, and Europe. They can move around these places to take on missions, but there is one ironclad rule—the mainland is absolutely off-limits, and they are not allowed to take on any missions involving the mainland. This is the bottom line, and no one can break it."

The four team leaders responsible for setting up the security company immediately memorized these requirements and nodded solemnly.

Following this, Zhang Zeyang added detailed rules for personnel recruitment, which were clear, organized, and without any omissions: "For Qian Gu Security, we mainly recruit demobilized soldiers from the mainland. These people are highly disciplined, have excellent combat skills, and their loyalty is easier to control. You must screen them layer by layer, selecting the best of the best, and make sure to ensure the quality of personnel."

"As for Blackwater International, the personnel requirements can be relaxed; anyone can be a veteran, regardless of nationality or ethnicity. As long as they meet the requirements, they can be recruited." His tone suddenly turned stern as he added, "But one point must be emphasized: those who are not of our kind will have different intentions. All foreign personnel recruited are prohibited from accessing core secrets. Core positions must be controlled by our own people, and absolutely no core information may be leaked. Violators will be severely punished!"

"Understood!" The four squad leaders in charge of the matter responded in unison, their voices firm and resolute, not daring to slack off in the slightest.

After assigning tasks to the four teams, Zhang Zeyang looked at the remaining four squad leaders, his eyes becoming increasingly profound: "The last four teams, your mission is even more crucial. You need to establish an intelligence organization, and name it Black Ice Platform."

Upon hearing the words "intelligence organization," the four squad leaders' eyes sharpened, and they immediately understood the significance of this mission.

Zhang Zeyang looked at them and put forward the most stringent requirements, his tone leaving no room for argument: "For Black Ice Station, I currently have only one core requirement, which is to take root in Hong Kong and do it to the best of our ability!"

From this day forward, even if a mosquito enters Hong Kong, I will know its origin, destination, and purpose. Every slightest disturbance must be reported to me immediately, without exception. The Black Ice Regency must become a dense, all-pervasive net covering Hong Kong!

These words were resounding and made a jolt in the hearts of all ten squad leaders. They knew that the sir intended to take control of all intelligence networks in Hong Kong.

"As for future development, like Blackwater International, it will gradually expand to Southeast Asia, Europe, and Africa, establish overseas intelligence stations, and weave a dense global intelligence network. However, it will also abide by the ironclad rule—no intelligence lines will be developed in mainland China, and no intelligence personnel will be planted there."

He stood up, his gaze sweeping over everyone, and said, "Black Ice Platform, Eternal Security, and Blackwater International are not independent entities, but rather must cooperate with each other and support each other."

Qian Gu Security provides overt cover, Blackwater International provides military support, and Black Ice Grid delivers precise intelligence; only through the coordinated efforts of these three can a closed loop be formed.

Regarding the specifics of cooperation, development, and strategic planning, I will not interfere with your operations. I will give you full autonomy. If you encounter any problems, need funding, or require support, come directly to me, and I will provide full support.

After speaking, he looked at everyone and asked, "Did everyone hear me clearly? Do you understand your respective tasks?"

"clear!"

The ten squad leaders raised their hands in unison to salute, and answered in loud, booming voices.

They may not yet fully realize the earth-shattering mission they have taken on.

Years later, Qian Gu Security will become the top formal security giant in Hong Kong and even the world, and countless wealthy families and multinational companies will compete to hire it.

Blackwater International operates in war-torn regions around the world, becoming a mercenary group that strikes fear into the hearts of nations. Wherever the Blackwater flag appears, it signifies iron-fisted violence and bloodshed.

Black Ice, on the other hand, transforms into an invisible giant network that spans every corner of the world, possessing countless classified intelligence and becoming an intelligence organization that even political leaders of various countries are wary of.

These three entities that would later shake the world were quietly born on this seemingly ordinary morning in a villa in Repulse Bay.

Looking at the resolute faces of the crowd, Zhang Zeyang knew in his heart that these elites would certainly live up to his expectations.

Zhang Zeyang took out the cash from his storage ring and neatly stacked it in the living room. It was all cash that he had exchanged for gold a few days ago.

"Here is fifty million Hong Kong dollars, which will be divided among your eight teams as seed money."

"The registration, site selection, and recruitment of Qian Gu Security, the base construction and weapons preparation of Blackwater International, and the intelligence network establishment and personnel placement of Black Ice Platform all come from this fund. If it's not enough, just ask me for more later. Go ahead and do it, don't be timid."

The eight squad leaders, seeing the huge sum of money before them, showed no greed whatsoever. They stepped forward one by one, methodically allocating the funds, and once again respectfully saluted Zhang Zeyang, saying, "We will certainly not fail in your trust, sir!"

"Okay, go ahead." Zhang Zeyang waved his hand, his tone calm.

The eight squad leaders turned and left. Watching their departing figures, Zhang Zeyang stood in the center of the living room, gazing out the window into the distance. The morning light shone on him, casting a golden halo around him. Now that force, intelligence, and security were all in place, he no longer needed to fear anyone.

Once only the two team leaders remained in the villa, Zhang Zeyang turned around and instructed one of the teams, "Arrange a car to take me to the headhunting company."

The squad leader who remained immediately replied, "Yes, sir! Please wait a moment, the vehicle will be ready shortly!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the squad leader quickly left to make preparations. Zhang Zeyang walked to the corridor, looked at the azure sea in the distance, and a confident smile appeared on his lips.

With gold in hand, military force at your side, and intelligence in your grasp, the next step is to recruit talent and build the core team for your business empire.
