Firepower is king

"Mr. Smith, do you think I have my own team now?"

Gao Guang felt that he already had his own team, but he didn't know what this core team specifically meant.

Gao Guang asked questions when he didn't understand, but Smith also answered all questions.

"Your current team can be regarded as the foundation of force. It is core enough, but not perfect enough."

Smith took a sip from his cigar, and then he said with a half-smile: "Let me ask you a question now, how do you view the people around you? Do you regard them as brothers who live through life and death, or as employees who follow you to make money?"

This is a question that can only be asked by those who have experienced it. This is what Gao Guang is struggling with now, and this is what makes him confused.

"This is what's bothering me!"

Gao Guang slapped his thigh hard, then he put the cigar on the ashtray, spread his hands, and said with a wry smile: "I can't figure it out now..."

"Pick up your cigar!"

Smith suddenly said something sternly, and then he pointed at the highlight with the hand holding the cigar again: "Keep your manners! Don't put down your cigar easily and wave your hands to talk, whether you are being pointed at a gun or sitting down "Keep your composure on top of a bomb about to explode."

After finishing speaking, Smith leaned forward slightly and said in a very oppressive tone: "Remember, you are no longer a bodyguard who takes orders from others. You are a boss who can make your own decisions. To be a boss, you must have a boss." The proper attitude!”

Gao Guang picked up the cigar, put it on his mouth and took a puff. Then he tried to use a relaxed tone and said: "I just can't figure this out now. Every one of my employees is recruited as an employee. But after we get along for a long time, I will treat them as my brothers. After all, we have been together through life and death. It is impossible for me to treat them as an ordinary employee, but I know that this will not work for a long time. Well, I don’t I don’t have any sense of boundaries with my employees, but I will definitely recruit more people. Over time, how will the relationship between the old brothers and new employees be balanced?”

Smith nodded and said: "I worked as a mercenary and worked hard with a group of brothers for almost ten years before I reached your current confusion. The path I took was difficult, very difficult, but it only took you less than a year. , if you encounter this kind of problem, it’s because your path is too smooth, and you are really lucky, because most mercenary groups should fall apart when they reach your stage. "

"Why?"

"Because more and more money is being made, uneven distribution should be a problem."

Smith breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Now let's talk about the difference between brothers and employees. There is someone who is willing to accompany you through life and death and refuses to abandon you no matter what kind of danger you encounter. This is your brother, your comrade, and your employee." Use money to recruit a group of people to work for you. When they can make money and there is no danger, they will obey all your orders. But when you have to choose between making money and life, of course your employees will choose to leave you. "

Pointing at himself, Smith said: "I relied on a group of brothers who were willing to die for me to work hard in the early stage. When we are really developed and I really have enough capital, I will give it to my brothers." This is a safe way out for us, using capital to control a group of employees who work hard for me.”

Gao Guang raised his eyebrows and said, "What's the difference between the early stage and the late stage?"

"Yes, you have discovered the key point." Smith smiled and said: "I don't need to tell you about the relationship between brothers and employees. I only tell you the difference between the early and late stages, as well as the distribution principle of the early and late stages, that is, 30-70 split!"

"Thirty-seven split?"

Smith said seriously: "You are alone, you work hard from scratch, and a group of people who are willing to work hard with you slowly gather around you. These people are your brothers, brothers who are closer than your relatives, because even if Even if he is a relative, he cannot take a bullet for you. Your biological brother cannot still complete his mission without hesitation even when he knows that he will die. You cannot be stingy with such a brother. Of the 100 yuan you earn, give at least 70 yuan to them. This is the 30-70 splitting principle in the early stage.”

Gao Guang nodded and said: "Yes, if I take the big head and my brothers can only drink soup through life and death, then I will have no brothers."

"You've made a lot of money together and you don't have to do everything yourself.

, you don’t have to risk your life to do anything. This is the later stage. At this time, you have to kick out the brothers who can’t keep up. "

Gao Guang frowned and said, "Kick him out?"

"Kicking him out is a straightforward way of saying it. To put it nicely, it means giving my brother a good home."

Smith leaned back, put the cigar into his mouth, and said slowly: "You and your brothers don't need to go into battle personally, and there is no need to risk your lives. Then your channels, your funds, your Network, after all, everything is yours. You have become the boss. At this time, if you let the brothers take 70% and you take 30%, will you be willing to take it as time goes by? "

Without waiting for Gao Guang's answer, Smith said calmly: "The answer is that anything that goes against human nature cannot last forever. Although we are brothers, there can only be one boss, so what's wrong with giving the brothers a good home?"

"I get it, I really get it."

Smith nodded and said: "In the early stage, you have to fight with your brothers. That means you get three and the brothers get seven. When you don't have to fight by yourself and can use the power of capital, you get seven and 30%." Come out to the employees. At this time, you have no brothers, only employees.”

This is not the case at all times and in all countries.

This highlight really made sense, and then he couldn't help but sigh.

Smith looked into Gao Guang's eyes and said, "Do you know why I was able to get to where I am today from a mercenary?"

"You are loyal enough and you are good to your brothers. Even though they no longer hang out with you, they are still grateful to you."

Smith smiled and said: "Take Frank as an example. He made a lot of money with me. When he couldn't keep up with the development of War Group, I helped him set up his own company. I gave him a way to make a fortune. If I have the opportunity, I will also help him deal with many things. My brothers are like this. They all got the money they deserve to develop their own careers. If they can't do their own careers well, I can help them, but I won't. Then let them take money from my 70%.”

"I understand."

Smith said calmly: "Be kind to the person who is willing to take a bullet for you. Even if he is a fool, a bastard who does all kinds of evil, a troublemaker who causes trouble for you, or a waste who can't do anything, just because he is willing to take a bullet for you. Block the gun! Just let him die for you a few times! Be kind to him and do your best to be kind to him. If you are not willing to be kind to your brother who is willing to die for you, no one will be willing to die for you in the future."

After finishing speaking, Smith said in a serious tone: "Mike and Francisco around you are such people, treat them both well."

Gao Guang said very solemnly: "I know that if I have something to eat, I will never let them drink soup."

"John, Patrick, Paul, what do you think of those three?"

Gao Guang thought for a moment and said: "John and I have different friendships. He has saved me and I have saved him. He is my brother, not my employee. He is more like my... colleague? Patrick and Paul are not the same." Same, they were recruited by me, but we had fought together in South Africa, and they did not abandon me. They were willing to stay and fight with me until death. I feel that they are also my life and death brothers. "

Smith nodded and said: "John can't keep up with you. His ability is that of an assaulter. I know him, so if such an old brother has the opportunity, let him do his own business and make a lot of money." , please note that I said let him get a good home if he has the chance. He is also in his forties. It is time to enjoy life instead of continuing to work hard. "

Gao Guang whispered: "I understand, but I actually want him to help me run the king's defense."

"He is not capable enough. If you put him in an inappropriate position, you will harm him and yourself."

After speaking calmly, Smith continued: "Patrick and Paul are different. They are at a hard-working age and have proven themselves with actions. The key is that they have enough ability. You will need their help for a long time in the future, so They are your core force team and the core of your force. Treat them as brothers and don’t let them leave you until you have enough capital.”

"I see."

Smith continued: "Fang, he is very special. His ability is special and his role is also very special. The most special thing is that he and you are both from China. Obviously

He must rely on you. Such a person will not have much ambition and does not have the ability to develop on his own. And you also need someone who is always around to do things. "

Gao Guang whispered: "I recruited three more new people, and there is also a Chinese named Yuan Zheng."

"I'm not familiar with him, and I don't know him. You decide for yourself whether he can be a brother or an employee, including Carlos."

After finishing speaking, Smith whispered: "This kind of brother who must rely on your existence can stay in your team in the future and get a stable and high salary, just like Dawson."

"I understand, well, I understand."

Smith smiled and said: "Now you need to enrich your personnel structure. First of all, you have to have a financial account. You have to have someone who is responsible for handling financial matters and legal matters. You can't always do it yourself. Trivia."

"Uh, like Danny?"

"No, it's completely different. As long as the finance is reliable, no strong ability is required. Danny is a professional manager. There is an essential difference between the two."

Smith took the trouble and said seriously: "Hire a treasurer for your King's Defense to handle those chores and financial matters. You are not a professional. It is best to leave these things to professionals. Then, don't Think about finding a professional manager like Danny, because that is something you will have to consider later. Right now, you are not qualified to use a professional manager.”

Gao Guang thought for a while and said, "Because Danny is in charge of everything?"

Smith smiled and said: "Okay, speaking of Danny, let's talk about Danny, but don't spread our conversation outside, don't tell anyone, especially John and Frank, this is a secret that only the boss can know. ”

"I won't tell anyone, I promise."

"Who do you think Danny is? I won't ask this question. I'll just say it bluntly. In my eyes, Danny is the best candidate for manager, but in the eyes of employees, Danny is just a bastard, a An inhumane bastard who values ​​profit more than life.”

Gao Guang nodded and said, "That's right."

"Have you ever wondered why I don't have to worry about Danny replacing me or replacing me?

Gao Guang thought for a while and said: "Because everyone in the Zhanhuo Group hates him except you. They all hate him. It is impossible for him to gain the support of Zhanhuo Group employees."

Smith smiled and nodded: "Yes, Danny has many opportunities to win the hearts of his subordinates, but he doesn't. He never does that. He leaves the limelight to ***, and he leaves the opportunity to win the hearts of his subordinates. Leave it to me, and he specializes in doing things that cause trouble, so I leave the finance to him, I leave the personnel rights to him, and I can trust him with everything about the War Group."

Gao Guang sighed and said, "Danny is so awesome."

"Of course he is great, otherwise why do you think he can survive today? Do you think he doesn't know how to win people's hearts? He just knows that he can't win people's hearts and can't get the support of employees. If everyone in Zhanhuo Group likes him, If you love him, I will replace him immediately.”

After Smith finished speaking with a smile, he took a puff of cigarette and said calmly: "Now I have touched the ceiling. I want to become a noble in this country. I want to clean up my black history, so I gave everything to Danny." As for you, this professional manager, you may not be able to reach my level, because you are Chinese and your ceiling is lower than mine, so you probably won’t need a professional manager like Danny in the end.”

Gao Guang nodded silently.

But Smith suddenly said: "Not necessarily, you now have resources that I have never had, that is, your killer teacher, and your... master's wife, hahaha."

Smith smiled happily, and Gao Guang whispered: "Don't laugh at me, I can't help it."

"I'm laughing at you? Are you stupid? I envy you! Congratulations!"

Smith knocked the ashes of his cigarette, and then he said seriously: "I am a mercenary. The only way I can do it is private force. I can't do the arms business, because that means going to war with arms dealers. You are different. You can do it in time." After transformation, you have many more paths, you have more choices than me, and every connection you have may help you break through the invisible ceiling above your head.

White? "

Gao Guang fell into deep thought, but Smith sighed: "If I had such good resources as you when I was as young as you, then maybe I wouldn't have to hit walls everywhere because of my humble background. My path It’s very difficult, but your path is much easier than mine.”

Gao Guang said sincerely: "I have to thank you for helping me. Without you, I wouldn't have had such a good opportunity."

"You know how to behave, you know how to speak, your emotional intelligence is much higher than when I was young, you have good marksmanship, but the most important thing is that you are smart, but the most valuable thing about you is that you know how to repay!"

Smith said calmly: "If something happens to me in the future, will you help me?"

Gao Guang said without hesitation: "I swear by all my good things, if something happens to you and I can't help you, then I will lose all my good things."

"Oaths...are meaningless. I'm very good at judging people. I trust my own vision more than my oaths.

After finishing speaking with a smile, Smith said: "You have to learn to use the resources you have at hand. Why don't you use the dark web? In the arms business, there is a lot of information on the dark web."

Gao Guang immediately nodded and said, "Yes, I have to learn to use the darknet in the future."

Smith thought for a while and said: "It seems that there is nothing more to teach you. Well, you have to strengthen your own force, build a trustworthy force team, and also build a team to help you do business, and separate the force and business parts. , to avoid future trouble.”

Gao Guang nodded and said: "I will find someone right away, I will."

"Don't forget to strengthen your force as soon as possible. Arms dealers can't do business just because they have money. Arms dealers have to fight. They have to fight to seize other people's territory. They have to fight when others grab your territory. In short, if you want to do business, you have to fight. Good preparation for war."

Gao Guang smiled and said: "I feel deeply about this. The business this time was made. I will find a sniper immediately when I go back. Now I am in urgent need of a sniper."

"Don't try to poach people from me, snipers are all treasures." Smith scratched his head with his hand and said, "What else is important? Oh, by the way, I must give you a piece of advice."

Gao Guang sat upright, put down his cigar, and said respectfully: "Please tell me!"

This time Smith didn't say that Gao Guang shouldn't put down his cigar, nor did he say that his actions were beneath his dignity.

"Don't borrow money!"

Smith stretched out his right hand, pointed at the highlight, and said very seriously: "The fastest way to ruin a relationship is to borrow money, so don't lend money to anyone, don't lend money to anyone, and definitely don't lend even one cent. Remember?"

Gao Guang hesitated for a moment and said: "But if my best brother encounters something and needs money urgently, why don't I lend it to him? How is this possible? If a brother encounters a big event or encounters a problem, I have to lend it." …”

Smith shook his head, and then he said in a deep voice to Gao Guang: "Then just give him the money directly. It's a gift, not a loan! Do you understand?"
