Chapter 183 Bodyguard
A good person will be deceived by others, and a good horse will be ridden by others. This is simply the truth. The ways of doing things that have been passed down by our ancestors for thousands of years are not necessarily universally applicable, but at least most of the time, they are of reference value.
After this attack, An Rusong found that he seemed to be too kind in the past. What he thought about every day was how to develop his career, how to expand his contacts, and how to set up a business for himself. Safety barrier, all these thoughts are actually passive defense, and they are all trying to increase their own safety factor by striving to protect themselves.
Facts have proved that this overly conservative strategy has, to a certain extent, disguised itself as a weak person, because only the weak will first think of defense when encountering a crisis, while the strong will They all have to fight back as soon as possible.
As for the weak, they will naturally be bullied. Because they cannot see how you can fight back, everyone can try to bully you.
This attack seemed simple, and it didn't even look threatening. But from An Rusong's perspective, this incident was the biggest threat he had faced since his rebirth.
Imagine if he hadn’t been holding the box in his hand; if Jiang Xiuyuan had been standing with him at that time; if his reaction had been slower; if
there were too many "What if", if it weren't for chance, if it wasn't for his good luck, today's attack would at least cost him a heavy price, and the price would either be fulfilled on him, or it would be fulfilled on his woman, always Have one of these.
So, even though An Rusong's face was calm at this time and seemed to be calm, in fact, he was filled with anger in his heart. If not, he would not have thought about it. Without knowing who was the mastermind of the attack, he directly chose to retaliate against two possible enemies.
The Zhao Jingsheng brothers would naturally not oppose An Rusong's plan. To be honest, if An Rusong hadn't dissuaded them at the beginning, Liu Taihe's attempt to use black money would have been reported to Shen Tai'an long ago. .
As An Rusong said, the grudge between them and Liu Taihe should indeed come to an end.
Sitting in Zhao Jingsheng's car back to NGN Company, An Rusong asked for a few more people from Zhao Jingsheng when he got off the car. Although today's attack was avoided, God knows whether the other party will come again, so it is very necessary to keep a few available people around.
In addition, when he got out of the car, Zhao Chenghao handed him a gun and said: "Bring this with you. From the 'Baektu Mountain' coming from the north, this push-pull pin is a safety feature. When you need to use it, , remember to open it first. However, my suggestion is, don’t use it unless it is absolutely necessary, otherwise you will be in trouble.”
An Rusong hesitated, and finally decided to use the gun. took it. In South Korea, carrying a gun privately is a very serious crime. Not to mention ordinary people, even the police are not allowed to carry weapons with them.
However, after this attack, An Rusong's sense of crisis became even heavier. He felt that it was necessary for him to carry a gun. At least, at the Songquan Cave Mansion, he should Keep a gun for self-defense if necessary.
"I will ask the people in the car behind to stay," Zhao Jingsheng said, "They will follow you in the past two days."
After a pause, he added: "However, I You know the conditions of these people. They can only be regarded as helpers at best. How trustworthy they are is hard to say. , So, my advice to you is."
He reached out and patted An Rusong on the shoulder, and he finally said: "Find two reliable bodyguards as soon as possible. You are not bad at that anyway. Count the money."
An Rusong nodded, put the pistol in his arms, then opened the door and got out of the car.
Standing side by side with Jiang Xiuyuan who got off the car behind, watching Zhao Jingsheng's car go away, An Rusong glanced at the other car still parked on the roadside, and then took Jiang Xiuyuan's arm towards the company building. Go.
You can still smell the pungent smell of sulfuric acid on the pavement outside the company. This smell is very strong and it is unlikely to disappear in the short term.
The two of An Rusong walked to the entrance of the company building, and when they were thinking about entering, they heard the ringtone of a mobile phone ringing in An Rusong's pocket.
He signaled Jiang Xiuyuan to go in first, and An Rusong slowed down. He took out his mobile phone from his pocket and glanced at the caller ID.
The call was from Macaulay. An Rusong hesitated for a moment. He knew that the other party should have received the news that he was attacked. After all, the company had already received the news when the police came. When the company got the news, Macaulay naturally knew about it. After all, the company also had a prudent investigation team stationed by DFJ. After thinking about it, An Rusong pressed the answer button and put the phone to his ear.
Sure enough, Macaulay got the news that he had been attacked, and he called to ask about the specific situation.
Don’t think this is a trivial matter. An Rusong is the president and founder of NGN Company. He is also the maker of the company’s development strategy and the leader of NGN software technology research and development. The reason why DFJ and Apple accepted the principle of different rights for the same shares when investing in NGN was because they believed in An Rusong’s ability and believed that under his management, NGN could continue to grow and develop, thereby bringing them Generous return on investment.
If something unexpected happened to An Rusong at this time, it would be better for Apple to say that the US$50 million investment from DFJ would really be in vain, so, After hearing that An Rusong had been attacked, Macaulay naturally called to inquire about the situation.
I chatted with Macaulay for a while on the phone, mainly describing the attack and the extent of his injuries. Just when An Rusong was about to end the conversation, he hung up the phone. When he was there, Macaulay suddenly said: "Ann, you should find a bodyguard. I mean the kind of professional bodyguard. After all, you are also a millionaire now." If there are no bodyguards for a millionaire, not only will his personal safety not be protected, but his proper identity will not be reflected. "
It must be admitted that Macaulay said this. That's right. For a rich man with a net worth of tens of millions, the existence of bodyguards is not only a guarantee of personal safety, but also a symbol of status.
Think about it, one goes out to drive alone and attends various banquets with rich people alone, and the other has a group of bodyguards surrounding the rich wherever he goes. Which one brings more momentum to people?
"I am also considering hiring two bodyguards, and I have even considered it for a long time," An Rusong said with a smile, "But you also know that hiring a bodyguard is not a simple matter, at least, I think The bodyguards hired must be trustworthy, or Otherwise, it’s hard to tell whether you hired a bodyguard or a bomb.”
“What’s there to consider,” Macaulay said on the phone, “You can contact Thomson and ask him. I'll do it for you, if you don't mind more For a fee, you can ask him to contact Blackwater for you. Although those North Carolina bastards are disgusting, they still have no problem with their professional ethics. The most important thing is that the bodyguards they provide are not expensive. , you should be completely acceptable."
At first, when Macaulay mentioned 'Blackwater', An Rusong didn't react, but he quickly spelled it out. Isn't this notorious? Blackwater?
"Why, does Blackwater Company still have a bodyguard business?" An Rusong asked curiously.
In his previous life, he had heard a lot about Blackwater Company. Of course, there were almost no good things among them, such as torturing prisoners, shooting civilians, etc. This company had a bad reputation, and in the end , they themselves had to change their names.
“Of course, they will do any business that can make money and is related to violence,” Macaulay smiled on the phone. “It’s just that if you want to accept Blackwater’s bodyguard services in South Korea, , you still need to go through some complicated procedures, but like I said, as long as you don’t mind spending a little more money, Thomson can help you.”
During the phone call, Macaulay lowered his voice and added: "The most important thing is that if you hire people from Blackwater, then the bodyguards they arrange can be equipped with weapons, so that If so, your personal safety will be better protected."
"With weapons?" An Rusong asked in surprise.
"Yes, even if something goes wrong, they will not implicate you. Anyway, they have ways to avoid being held accountable by the Korean police," Macaulay said, "You know, although Your government doesn’t like black water, but it still enjoys certain privileges on this peninsula.”
"Then, can they provide Asian bodyguards?" An Rusong thought for a while and asked, "This is South Korea after all. If I have two blond bodyguards with me at all times, I'm afraid it will attract too much attention. , that’s not a good thing for me.”
“Of course. Of course," Macaulay said without hesitation, "I know two rich people here, and the bodyguards they hire are from Blackwater Company. Well, of course, these bodyguards are all Koreans, oh, to be precise, they are Korean."
An Rusong nodded and said: " OK, thank you very much, Macaulay, you helped me solve a big problem. I have decided to contact Lawyer Thomson later and ask him to help me find two bodyguards."
"No. You trust that guy Thomson too much. If he offers you $100,000, you You only need to give him $50,000 at most," Macaulay laughed. "In that guy's eyes, there are no friends at all, only business partners."
"Okay, I'll give you your suggestion. Remember," An Rusong answered with a smile, and then said goodbye to the other party.
