After Albert Raphael returned to Philips Brothers, he called Harlan Dryden, the manager of the advanced copper futures department, and Sean Andrew, the manager of the Alcoa futures department.
The three discussed in the office behind closed doors for two hours, and then Harlan Dryden and Sean Andrew left excitedly, ready to go back to summon their subordinates and make detailed hunting plans.
Without Xia Yu noticing it, secretly a large hunting net was weaving at extreme speed.
But at this time, Xia Yu was planning another extremely important matter in a luxury country manor in the outer suburbs of New York.
This manor was screened by Xia Yu commissioned by Freddie Mac. It took a month to buy it. It cost Xia Yu 3.2 million U.S. dollars, but Xia Yu thought it was worth the money.
Because this manor not only has a villa covering thousands of square meters, but also a luxurious swimming pool in the backyard, and there is also a golf course on the hillside of the back mountain. There are no other buildings within a radius of five miles.
On this day, Xia Yu was dressed in casual clothes, holding a Colt M1911A1 in his hand, aiming at a human-shaped target halfway down the mountain, pulling the trigger again and again.
After three rounds, Li Wuming, who was looking at him with a telescope, said in admiration: "Boss, one nine-ring and two seven-rings. Your progress is too fast. If you join the army, you will definitely become a marksman."
Even Ma Qianjun, who was expressionless on the side, was very surprised, surprised by Xia Yu's ability.
Xia Yu smiled faintly, put down Colt M1911A1, and said mockingly: "A person who is afraid of death like me is not suitable for joining the army."
After speaking, Xia Yu looked at his brother, especially the yellow kraft paper bag in his hand, and asked: "Brother Ma, how many have been selected?"
Ma Qianjun handed the kraft paper bag to Xia Yu, and said calmly: "A total of five suitable candidates have been found, and they are all inside."
Xia Yu took it, walked to the wicker chair under the shade of the tree, opened the kraft paper bag, and took out a stack of files.
On the first file, there is a black-and-white photo of a middle-aged man with a beard with a Chinese face, and then his basic information.
Kevin Occasie, male, born August 21, 1937 in Charlotte, North Carolina, joined the US Navy XX in March 1957... was elected to the US Special Forces in April 1962... April 1968 Served as the captain of the 4th squadron of the squadron special warfare, the rank of lieutenant colonel... In 1975, he was forced to retire due to the malicious killing of prisoners due to the war syndrome...
Family situation: Divorced from his wife for six years and have a daughter, Susan Okasi...
...
Ron Howard, male, born on July 24, 1935 in Austin, Texas, a former CIA agent...
...
Xia Yu has read all five files carefully and patiently.
Of these five candidates, Xia Yu was most impressed by Kevin Ocashi in the first file, not only because he was the leader of the SEAL team formed during the Kennedy era, but also because he had a great weakness-he Susan Okasi, a daughter with leukemia.
These five people were not the ones Xia Yu asked Ma Qianjun to make targeted investigations. They were able to access this file entirely because these five people met Xia Yu's selection requirements.
The reason why Xia Yu did this was because of his lack of security.
Although with his strong financial support and the outstanding leadership of Ma Qianjun, the net has been deployed in Asia and has begun to spread to the world, there are still major shortcomings.
As for another armed organization, Aegis security, although Yan Shining has found an uninhabited island in Southeast Asia and is training manpower on a large scale, the influence of Aegis security is also limited to Asia, to be precise, Southeast Asia.
More importantly, Aegis Security is all yellow people. Even if Aegis Security has this strength in Europe and the United States, it is too eye-catching.
Xia Yu felt that his sense of security in Europe and the United States was not enough, so he planned to form another security company. At the very least, he must have the ability to protect himself and lift the table, so as to ensure the safety of his business.
In the United States where guns are flooded, Xia Yu really can't make himself feel safe enough.
Looking at the file in his hand again, Xia Yu's complexion sank and looked at his watch, and then said to Ma Qianjun and Li Wuming: "Let's go, it's almost time for dinner, we will leave for Charlotte after lunch."
Upon hearing this, Ma Qianjun and Li Wuming immediately understood Xia Yu's thoughts, packed their equipment, and the group walked to the villa.
The next day, Charlotte General Hospital, inpatient building A2-7 floor.
Xia Yu walked along the corridor with Li Wuming and Ma Qianjun carrying a fruit basket and a bunch of carnations.
Fortunately, Charlotte is a livable city, and there are many Chinese here, so Xia Yu and the three yellow races walking here at most make people look at it.
718 Nursing Ward!
When he got here, Xia Yu stopped. Without Xia Yu's instructions, Li Wuming pushed open the door of the ward, and suddenly the eyes of the patients and family members in the ward were cast over.
The eyes of the middle-aged white man in the hospital bed who had been chipping apples became sharp instantly, and his cold eyes swept across the faces of Xia Yu, especially when he saw Ma Qianjun and Li Wuming, his expression became very serious.
He put down the apple in his hand, stood up and looked at Xia Yu quietly.
Kevin Occasie, this is him!
Xia Yu showed a kind smile, and led Ma Qianjun and Li Wuming to the middle hospital bed. Sitting on the bed was a lovely little girl with a shaved head, pale face and innocent and curious eyes.
"Who are you?"
Kevin Occasie took a step sideways calmly, blocking his daughter Susan behind him, changing the grip of the fruit knife in his hand.
"This is the hospital. We are volunteers who send love to the Chinese community."
"Lovely little angel, I wish you a speedy recovery!"
Xia Yu put the fruit basket on the table, and at the same time put the whole bunch of carnations at the end of the bed, and said encouragingly to the little girl.
"Thank you Uncle!"
The little girl Susan said crisply, her eyes full of joy when she looked at the carnations.
Seeing this situation, Kevin Ocashi's complexion eased and said, "Thank you!"
However, the state of vigilance still did not relax. He knew that Xia Yu and others were definitely not volunteers in the Chinese community.
It's just that he didn't want his daughter Susan, who was already sick, to be affected again.
After chatting with Susan again, Xia Yu gave Kevin Occasie a look and then left.
After Xia Yu and others left the ward, Kevin Occasi quietly put down the fruit knife, picked up the carnation at the end of the bed and checked it, and then safely gave it to his eager daughter.
"Susan, dad go out for a few minutes. If you are thirsty, there is warm water on the table."
Kevin Occasie touched her daughter's cheek lightly and said, eyes full of doting.
"Okay Dad, I'll wait for you to come back."
"Well, Dad will be back soon."
After speaking, Kevin Occasi walked out of the ward, his gaze shot around, and he saw the three of Xia Yu at the end of the corridor, and he walked quickly over.
After a while, Kevin Occasi came to Xia Yu and the others, fixed his eyes on Xia Yu in the middle, and asked in a deep voice, "What is your purpose for looking for me?"
Xia Yu smiled faintly and said: "Kevin Okasi, hello, you don't need to be so vigilant. First introduce yourself. I am the chairman of Polaris Capital, and these two are my bodyguards."
Kevin Ocashi frowned and said, "Hello, thank you for the fruits and carnations."
After speaking, he looked straight at Xia Yu, obviously wanting the answer to the question just now.
Xia Yu said with a smile: "Kevin, I feel sorry for your daughter's experience. I also know that you are worrying about the cost of treatment. I can help you."
Kevin Okasi was shocked. He took a deep breath, suppressed the restlessness in his heart, and asked in a deep voice: "There is no free lunch in the world. I want to know what I need to pay?"
Kevin Okasi is indeed worrying about the cost of her daughter's treatment.
Although he has been in the army for more than ten years, his savings are not much. Especially after his divorce from his wife, his family property was divided in half. Later, his daughter Susan was diagnosed with leukemia and all his savings were spent. Don't borrow money everywhere to treat her daughter.
No way, in the United States, the cost of illness is too high. A small cold can cost thousands of dollars, let alone leukemia.
With Kevin Occasie’s savings, after four months of reaching the limit, he needs money, and he needs a lot of money!
Xia Yu smiled faintly, and stared at Kevin Occasi: "Kevin, what I want is very simple, I only need your loyalty!"
really!
Kevin Ocashi secretly said in his heart.
He also knows himself well. He started working in the army at the age of 20 and was forced to retire at the age of 38 due to war syndrome. After he retired, he became a truck driver. What he was able to show was a skill in the army.
"Do you want me to be your bodyguard? The two around you are stronger than me. You don't seem to need me."
Although Kevin Okasi wanted to agree, he still wanted to clarify the situation.
"Kevin, your position is not a bodyguard, but a more advanced profession that can show your talents. I know you were forced to retire because of war syndrome. You like that kind of life, and the identity of a truck driver comes to you. Said it is an insult!"
"You don't have to rush to ask. Just join us and you will know later. The key now is that I need your loyalty, and you need enough dollars, right?"
Xia Yu said with a smile.
Kevin Ocashi was silent for a long time, his head lowered slightly, and he said with a mockery: "You are right, I have asked too much. As long as you can treat my daughter with all your strength, my life is yours."
"readily!"
Communicating with smart people has always been very enjoyable. After Xia Yu finished talking with a smile, he took out a bank card from his pocket and threw it to Kevin Okasi.
"There are half a million dollars in it, and the password is 10 8. You can choose to continue the treatment here, or you can choose to take Susan to the best hospital in New York. Someone will meet you in the afternoon and give you a week. Settle up and come to me, someone will tell you the address."
After talking Xia Yu ignored Kevin Okasi, who was a little shocked, and left with Ma Qianjun and Li Wuming.
Kevin Occasie watched Xia Yu and the others disappear into the elevator in the distance, before looking down at the bank card in his hand, shook his palm subconsciously, and his expression was very complicated.
"Susan, my daughter..."
Kevin Ocashi muttered to himself.
In the next few days, Xia Yu flew to five places.
A week later, Xia Yu was in his manor in the suburbs of New York.
"Da da da……"
The sound of footsteps from the stairs attracted everyone in the living room.
Immediately afterwards, Xia Yu's figure gradually appeared. He saw the five people sitting scattered on the sofa in the living room, and the corners of his mouth curled up with satisfaction.
