#158 - Chapter 158 Zhang Yuankui's Public Speech

However, Niu Xingwang's answer revealed a hidden meaning to the others. The Chamber of Commerce was already doing business with several military regions, its background unfathomably deep. They thought it best not to offend the Chamber of Commerce in the future.

"Alright, next, let's invite Mr. Tian Sha, the president of the Mercenary Guild, to introduce the guild's business to everyone."

After speaking, Niu Xingwang handed the stage to Zhang Yuankui.

"Hello everyone! The Mercenary Guild was also established as an effective supplement to the functions of the resettlement camps. I believe everyone deeply understands that the defense force of the resettlement camps is weak, which has always been a difficult problem. I think the reasons for this are nothing more than a few points:"

"First, there is a shortage of supplies, which is a long-standing problem facing the resettlement camps. Supporting people requires consuming resources, including the daily training, food, accommodation, wages, and medical support of security personnel. This has led to most resettlement camps not having the preconditions to build a large-scale security force."

"Secondly, the hardware facilities are incomplete. Training grounds, commuting vehicles, defense facilities, and so on are all incomplete. I would like to ask everyone present, which resettlement camps have built large-scale defense works in the past six months? How many commuting vehicles are used for security? Which resettlement camps have established independent office buildings specifically for security team members for office work and training?"

"If the above reasons are secondary, then the problem I am going to talk about next is the biggest obstacle to the development of security forces in the resettlement camps: weapons and equipment. So far, the production capacity of weapons and equipment is less than one-tenth of what it used to be, and it is basically not open to the public. Unless they have geographical advantages, almost all resettlement camps only have some light firepower in the police department, mainly pistols and portable submachine guns. Moreover, the stock of ammunition is very small and cannot be regenerated. It can be said that every bullet consumed is one less. Therefore, everyone will definitely not use a single bullet unless absolutely necessary, isn't that right?"

Some people nodded below, and some chuckled. Obviously, their weaknesses had been exposed.

Zhang Yuankui's inherent composure and perseverance easily created a natural persuasiveness. Therefore, although his eloquence was not very good, the content was down-to-earth and had a unique appeal.

"Another problem is that the security personnel recruited from the public have limited professional skills. In the absence of training, their discipline is not high, they are not familiar with the use of weapons, they are not familiar with fighting skills, and they are not even clear about some basic defense skills. This results in difficulty in managing personnel and a high mortality rate."

"Speaking of mortality, there is another constraint, and that is medical conditions. Security team members are undoubtedly the group with the highest injury coefficient, the highest infection rate, and the greatest risk of death among the population. In addition, the virus has an almost 100% mortality rate, which makes this industry a high-mortality industry. If it were not for the need to make a living, almost no one would choose to engage in this job."

"For our resettlement camps, there is another constraint that prevents everyone from investing resources, and that is that the security force is a purely consuming department. There is only input, no output."

"These are some of the practical problems that I have summarized in the development of security forces in most resettlement camps. Next, I will explain how we solve these problems by introducing the business of the Mercenary Guild."

"The first business of our Mercenary Guild is equipment leasing. As the name suggests, the public can lease weapons and equipment from the Mercenary Guild through leasing. The price of the lease will be announced to the public in the form of a quotation, and the price is open and transparent, with no deception to the young or old."

At this point, everyone laughed. Because Niu Xingwang had just used the word too.

"Currently, our guild does not offer many categories of weapons and equipment. Today, I would like to take this opportunity to give you a brief introduction."

"The first piece of equipment is the Guardsman Type II Combat Suit. … …"

At that moment, Zhang Yuankui introduced the main characteristics and usage methods of the Guardsman Type II Combat Suit. At the same time, he called on a mercenary member to demonstrate it on the spot.

This introduction directly caused an uproar in the audience.

So far, only Yan Zhengping's Southwest Military Region and Zong Zhengyue's Southeast Military Region have equipped some soldiers with combat suits. The Northeast Military Region and the Northwest Military Region have only learned about them through Yan Zhengping's introduction and have not started equipping them yet. However, they knew that this equipment also needed to be purchased through other channels, so they would not make any statements at this moment.

Among the heads of the resettlement camps, except for Mayor Gong Kaiming and Mayor Zuo Wenshan, the others had never even heard of it.

Therefore, the meeting had to be suspended at this moment to give most of the attendees time to digest the information.

"A divine weapon! It's simply a divine weapon!"

"It's simply the nemesis of zombies!"

"With such equipment, the safety of the resettlement camp can finally be guaranteed!"

Everyone talked to each other in private, and it was obvious that they highly recognized this equipment.

A few minutes later, the order at the scene finally stabilized. Zhang Yuankui continued to speak:

"However, there are two preconditions for this business to be carried out smoothly."
