Firepower is king

The biggest advantage of being backed by a big company is not that you have a strong backer or a strong background, but that you can get nanny-like care.

Now that Gao Guang and the others want to go to South Africa, they only need to take a normal flight. However, their guns and ammunition, as well as all the things that are impossible to carry on flights, will be sent by the War Group through legal channels.

It is not impossible if Gao Guang can solve these problems by himself, but he needs to apply first and then wait for the process. If he can actually send the weapons, it will take about three months to half a year.

But now, Gao Guang and the others used their identities as employees of Eric Mining Company and the channels of Zhanhuo Group to transport almost everything they needed to South Africa with them.

Then when they arrived in Johannesburg, someone would pick them up. When Gao Guang and the others arrived, the luggage sent by a cargo plane arrived before them.

Although it is impossible for the War Group to establish a truly global network, it can still do so by establishing some important transit stations in several important cities.

After they all arrived in Johannesburg, it was of course easy to find a car to take Gao Guang and them directly to the factory.

So the biggest advantage of being affiliated with Zhan Huo Group is that you don’t have to worry about anything, everything is arranged.

A group of seven people arrived at Postmasburg in the Northern Cape.

Then the problem arises. Postmasburg is the largest manganese ore producing area in the world, but there are no gold mines here.

Johannesburg is known as the City of Gold. This is a city that originally grew up because of gold. So since James is in the gold business, why is his factory in Postmasburg?

The specific reason for the high light is not very clear, because he knows that he should not ask questions, and he should not ask around if it is nothing.

A factory is willing to spend half a million US dollars a month to hire less than ten people to be responsible for safety. So how much of the half a million US dollars is commission and how much is hush money?

Anyway, high risk means high reward, and high return must have high risk. If there is high return but no high risk, then there must be some other reason.

The first thing Gao Guang and the others did when they arrived was to hand over the handover with the original old team. However, the old team had already packed their belongings and would leave when Gao Guang and the others arrived. Therefore, after the old team left, they could only be the factory director. Introduce the situation and tell them what to do.

The factory director's name is Malcolm Sheaney. He is an American in his forties. I don't know if he is used to being the boss in the factory. He seems a bit domineering, but his attitude towards Gao Guang is also reasonable.

"Our factory has a total of 160 people and two smelting furnaces. It can purify gold and make it into standard international delivery gold bricks for transportation. Now, my job is production, and your job is to be responsible for security. Work."

Malcolm walked around the factory with Gao Guang. Gao Guang found that the scale of the factory was much smaller than he had imagined. It was only more than 10,000 square meters at best. There were workshops, employee dormitories, and office buildings in the factory area. But there were no piles of ore raw materials, and no chimneys with thick smoke. In general, the appearance of this mining company was different from what he had imagined.

Gao Guang was brought to the front of an inconspicuous-looking small building, and then Malcolm pointed to the small corridor and said: "This is the most critical place and the core location of your protection. The monitoring room and your dormitory are all here, underground. It’s the treasury, follow me.”

The small building has two floors in total. It is located in the middle of the factory. There is an ordinary iron door that is not heavy. It is at most the level of a security door. Malcolm stepped forward and opened the iron door and said to Gao Guang: "Come in."

If this is a vault, then the level of protection seems not to be high.

There is a short corridor in the small building. At the end of the corridor is the staircase, and on both sides are a monitoring room, a drinking room, and a security room. The environment is relatively clean.

A large window was opened in the security room, and two people in security uniforms were sitting inside. Seeing Malcolm walking in with a group of people, the two security guards stood up together.

Malcolm nodded to the two security guards, and then said to Gao Guang: "There are six security guards on duty here, two are here, two are at the entrance of the underground vault, and two are in the control room."

Six security guards are needed here alone, but these jobs have nothing to do with Gao Guang and the others, because the security guards on duty here are all internal security guards, while Gao Guang and the others are external security guards. This is probably the difference.

I continued moving forward with the highlight, and came to the end of the corridor. I went down the stairs and turned a corner. When I reached the underground, there was a big iron door that could only be seen in movies. It was the kind of super-thick iron door only found in vaults. Door.

There were two security guards sitting at the door of the vault. At this time, they all stood up, and Malcolm waved his hand, indicating that they should sit down, and then said to Gao Guang: "This is the core of the entire factory, and gold is stored in it. If the gold is in the vault, you guys are responsible for guarding the vault. If the gold accumulates to a certain amount, you need to escort the gold to Johannesburg, and your duty is to protect the safety of the gold. Is there any problem?”

"no problem."

Gao Guang knew what he was going to do before he came. They didn't need to watch the door or arrange for manpower to monitor the surveillance every day. So naturally, with an income of half a million US dollars a month, the most dangerous part was naturally for them to do it.

However, escorting gold is only a nominal job. As far as Gao Guang knows, their previous colleague has worked here for more than a year and has only escorted twice in total. Most of the time, Eric Mining will use There is no need for your own people to escort the gold.

Generally speaking, the work here is easy, but because the factory is located in an industrial town, the living environment is a bit harsh. It will definitely become boring after a long time, but for a job with a monthly income of half a million US dollars, it is really Can't force anything more.

As the top person in charge here, Malcolm personally took Gao Guang to see the vault, which is enough to show that he attaches great importance to safety.

Malcolm no longer wanted to lead the spotlight around, the rest were the problems of life, and Malcolm could take care of things if he left them to anyone.

Looking at his watch, Malcolm said casually: "Okay, let's go back now. Someone will take you to the dormitory and tell you where to eat. Do you have any other questions?"

Gao Guang thought for a while and said, "Excuse me, how much gold is usually stored in the vault here, and how much gold is transported away?"

This is related to the work of Gao Guang and the others. Although it is sensitive, it is impossible not to ask. Malcolm spread his hands and said: "Not necessarily, the minimum shipment is 100 kilograms, but sometimes it will accumulate a little more. For example, there are more than 100 kilograms in the vault now. A thousand kilograms of gold, and tonight it will be over a ton."

One ton of gold, but it didn't seem like a big deal. Gao Guang whispered again: "I just want to know one thing. Can you move so much gold using the stairs?"

Malcolm said slightly impatiently: "There is a dedicated elevator. Okay, do you have any other questions?"

The factory director didn't look very patient. Gao Guang thought for a moment and said, "No, thank you."

I woke up late today and was a little stuck, so the number of words in this chapter is a little short, and the following two chapters will make up for it.
