Gao Yang and Justin talked for a long ti, gathering information about the combat specialties of each rcenary group and recording them in detail. Thus, their phone call lasted over an hour before finally ending.
Why did Saudi Arabia suddenly start using rcenaries on a large scale? Because Saudi Arabia has money, and the situation in several nearby countries is increasingly worsening. Whether to intervene in other countries or prevent chaos from spreading to Saudi Arabia, a large number of people are needed to accomplish it.
Saudi Arabia has people, but Saudi Arabia is afraid of casualties. In underground warfare, losing a few lives is normal, but if too many die, Saudi Arabia can’t bear it. So, seemingly high-priced but effective and cost-efficient rcenaries beca the inevitable choice.
The choice was initially a small-scale effort; Saudi Arabia also chose so small rcenary corps. But if the war escalates, Saudi Arabia will inevitably seek a suitable large company to replace the initial small-scale operations.
What Gao Yang needs to do is make the Solar System Company competitive against other companies. Although the Cicero Family has joined in, it is not enough.
Neither Deyang International, Armored Group, nor Three-leaf Jungle would offend the Cicero Family. Just as Satan completed a counterattack against the Cicero Family, helping Justin turn the tide, but if there were an option to avoid it, Satan wouldn’t offend the Cicero Family either.
Satan, which is easy to hide and has been hiding well, also wouldn’t offend the Cicero Family. Those large companies certainly wouldn’t dare either. Though large and powerful, their size makes them a large target. Engaging in unseen and intangible warfare with the Cicero Family is unbearable for any large company, at minimum, it’s not worth it.
But rely having the Cicero Family isn’t enough. Gao Yang can’t truly split the Solar System Company in half for the Cicero Family; otherwise, the Cicero Family wouldn’t pay a hefty price for the Solar System Company.
Thus, Gao Yang needs another strong ally.
After ending the conversation with Justin, Gao Yang called Grand Ivan.
"I want to invite you to invest in the Solar System Company. You don’t need to pay the principal, but you’ll need to provide free weapons and cover twenty percent of the operational costs in Yen for this, and you’ll get a twenty-percent share."
Without hesitation, Grand Ivan said, "Who else is in?"
"The Cicero Family and Morgan, they together hold thirty percent of the shares."
Grand Ivan paused montarily, then said in a deep voice, "Actually, inviting in doesn’t benefit you much; it might bring big trouble. You know my relationship with Arica, even though it’s peaceful now, it’s only a ceasefire period and not true peace."
Gao Yang sighed, saying, "There are indeed so troubles, but I still want to invite you in. After all, we’re already on the sa boat, and I’m not afraid of the relationship deepening."
Grand Ivan said slowly, "My only requirent is that I also want to contribute twenty percent manpower, maybe more or less, but you must tolerate assigning people to the company."
Gao Yang didn’t imdiately agree; he furrowed his brows considering it. Then, Grand Ivan explained.
"If I want to maintain a sizable group specialized in combat, they’re useless in peaceti, and too few when genuinely needed. Being an arms dealer, maintaining strong military power is wasteful and unnecessary. But there are tis I need a sufficiently strong force. After all, temporarily hiring so rcenaries isn’t reliable. I struggled to find Black Demon and asked them to work for , but once you appeared, Black Demon severed ties with without hesitation and sided with you. You know what I’ve recently been through, so you understand , right?"
Gao Yang, instinctively, said: "I think I understand your point."
Grand Ivan calmly said, "If I place enough personnel in your company, paying them isn’t wasteful. They might even earn money for . I assure you these people will absolutely follow your orders in the company; I have no intention to manage them. But I’ll pay them directly without going through you. Only this way can I guarantee they remain my most reliable force when needed. Do you agree?"
Gao Yang laughed, "You an to pay your people from your twenty percent profit from the company, right?"
"Yes."
Gao Yang exhaled deeply, laughing, "Then I agree."
Grand Ivan also laughed, "Great, then we’ve solved the main part. I agree to invest, hold twenty percent shares, provide you with weapons and cover initial operational costs. You quote the cost, and I’ll provide because I trust you. anwhile, I’ll deploy enough people to you. Uriyangko will handle the specific matters."
Gao Yang was briefly stunned, saying, "I thought it would be Ivan."
Grand Ivan paused montarily, then slowly said, "Ivan will inherit my entire empire, but Uriyangko, I still need to repay his forr loyalty."
Gao Yang was utterly shocked. His comnt was instinctive, casually said, but he didn’t expect Grand Ivan would reveal such crucial information, indicating Ivan will indeed inherit Grand Ivan’s Arms Empire.
Without hearing Gao Yang’s response, Grand Ivan continued in a deep voice, "Besides, Uriyangko already manages Africa and Asia, making his involvent in your company more appropriate."
Gao Yang took a deep breath, saying, "Alright, it’s settled then. You’d better send soone to Arica to handle the equity transfer procedures. Since we aim for a large company, everything should be formal. You surely have soone suitable for this. I won’t say more."
Grand Ivan laughed, "Uriyangko will send soone; I’ve already said this business is his gift. Anything else?"
"No, that’s all."
Negotiations with Grand Ivan couldn’t be called negotiations. With just a few words, they secured a significant deal that typically required prolonged talks because it profoundly impacts the Underworld’s balance.
Grand Ivan crossed the line from rely arms dealing to stepping into the PMC field. It’s significant. But Grand Ivan did it as if casually because joining the Solar System Company is beneficial enough — a win-win result. Most importantly, Grand Ivan trusts Gao Yang.
After ending the call with Grand Ivan, Gao Yang made the final call to Morgan.
Once Morgan answered, Gao Yang casually said, "Morgan, do you want to invest in Solar System Company? I can offer twenty percent shares."
"Sure, twenty percent of shares then."
