Chapter 543 Good Things Are Coming Soon

Song Shi asked Xia Le: "How valuable is this conference?"

"Very high." Xia Le whispered: "First, it is held by the General Security Bureau. The background endorsement is essentially an act of establishing its own authority."

Song Shi understood.

The judges are naturally nobler than the contestants, and they are not on the same level.

"Second, the standard of the event itself is high. It is held every three years, and each session attracts a large number of potential customers. Getting a good ranking in it is no less than a large-volume advertising matrix for a security contractor. In order to save publicity costs and exposure, almost all security contractors of a higher grade will participate now."

I have some impression, it seems that I have heard of it.

Song Shi thought.

However, this kind of event that requires companies and groups to participate has nothing to do with me as an individual business in my previous life. No wonder I have a vague impression.

"What did Cha Keluo say?" Song Shi asked.

"The commander said that you are the president." Xia Le answered immediately.

"——The world's number one security conference."

Song Shi returned the data board to the mercenary, looked around at everyone, and spoke concisely.

"【Jiuyu Defense】, confirmed to participate."

······

"Xia Le, help me organize a set of materials for the world's number one security conference."

Song Shi said halfway, noticed the other party's smiling expression, reacted, and relaxed and sank into the boss chair: "Okay, it seems that you have been prepared for a long time. Then I am too lazy to read it, just tell me directly."

"Got it, President!"

Xia Le clapped his hands vigorously, and with a swish, the office curtains automatically fell down, pulling a gap without leaking, and the chandelier went out. The darkness lasted for less than a second, and the next moment, it was like a stage with a lamp post lit up, the ceiling partially opened, and a screen hung down.

"Materials? No, no, no, I have finished the PPT!" Xia Le was complacent: "Considering that you don't have an artificial eye, I specifically asked the engineering team to modify some office structures, such as this screen! It is easy to watch!"

Song Shi praised: "Well done."

"Hey, please look here."

Xia Le began to explain.

"The No. 1 Security Conference in the World has a history of 46 years. In the early days, it was not called this name. It was just an event of the General Security Bureau that was more of a friendly exchange. It adopted an invitation system and only invited organizations with a good reputation with the General Security Bureau to participate."

The screen switched photos, including polite people in formal clothes and fully armed military personnel. Through the expressions of those people in the photos, we can get a glimpse of the friendly atmosphere of the year.

"Everything changed with the appointment of Paddy Morse."

A new photo popped up. It was a middle-aged man staring at the camera, with a tough face and short hair that was a little messy, but it made him look more cold. It made people wonder if he was missing a cigar in his mouth.

Corporate Alliance Security Bureau, current director of the General Bureau.

The fifth ring [consensus], "rebirth of the mind", Paddy Morse.

He used a tough approach to clear out a group of security bureau Shen Ke, and forcibly preserved the independence of the security bureau from the infiltration of giant companies. Although he only got here and couldn't go further - in front of the nine giant companies that were like gods, even a fifth ring could not be omnipotent.

"After he took over the post of director of the General Administration fifteen years ago, he promoted a series of internal reforms. The 'World's No. 1 Security Conference' is one of them. He hopes to use this measure to strengthen the authority of the General Security Administration."

Xia Le paused and added: "The relationship between Paddy Morse and us has always been delicate."

Song Shi nodded slightly.

"In the third year after he took over, the original exchange activity was renamed the 'World's No. 1 Security Conference', and the participation system was changed from an invitation system to a registration review system. In order to create momentum and attract all parties to participate, Paddy's bargaining chip was the Security Bureau's strategic partner quota."

Song Shi stroked the pen on the table.

The Security Bureau's strategic partner quota, even if only the simplest point is mentioned, the priority contracting rights for the Security Bureau's projects, this contains great benefits. With this as a gimmick. No, real money rewards, there is no need to worry about no one coming to participate.

Those companies probably gathered together in indignation and called for a joint boycott, and then they couldn't wait to sneak out to sign up.

"Thanks to this, the first session was very successful. It had momentum and traffic, and the Security Bureau also got what it wanted - its initial authority in the field of security assurance."

"Who was the champion of the first session?"

Song Shi suddenly spoke.

Xia Le replied: "[Time Pass]."

"To be precise, it is a subsidiary of Time Pass that specializes in security contracting and military employment. I'll still call it Time Pass."

"It turned out to be the first session?" This surprised Song Shi a little: "Twelve years ago. At that time, Time Pass had only been a giant enterprise for six or seven years."

But soon, he suddenly realized.

6◇9◇Book◇Bar

"That's right. Time Pass's business scope already includes security contracting. It is also a newly promoted giant enterprise. It needs to further establish its reputation and consolidate its position."

And the title of "strategic partner" of the Security Bureau is naturally qualified.

"You really understand." Xia Le gave a thumbs up: "Yes, it is said that at that time, the board of directors of [Chronological Pass] issued a death order and assembled a super elite team at all costs, and won the first championship."

Song Shi casually threw down the pen: "Every three years, in twelve years, we will participate in the fourth World's No. 1 Security Conference."

"Do you think we have a chance to win this championship?"

"Uh." Xia Le blinked and said cautiously: "I heard the roar of the battleship engine?"

Song Shi curled his lips in dissatisfaction.

"How is the competition system?"

"Basically, it is a group event. The specific content changes every session, but in general, it is still a simulated attack and defense. Real swords and guns, there are many casualties every session."

"Yeah." Song Shi nodded: "After all, it is the evaluation of "No. 1 in the world", how can there be no blood?"

"It's more about quality than quantity." The young man stared at the introduction on the screen, which showed that each participating team was limited to 100 people: "Let's select 40 people to participate."

"Do you have any candidates you are optimistic about now?" Xia Le asked obediently.

Song Shi thought for a moment and reported some names, including No. 5, Gold Coin and Skull Mask.

"Well, there are still a few masters who can control the scene." He sighed

Chakolo sent three third-ring psychics and members of the Enlightened who were not third-ring but whose actual combat power was comparable to this level to [Nine Defense]. Including himself, there was one fifth-level unit, three fourth-level units, and two-digit third-level units below.

To be honest, for a security contractor, this level of force is definitely not low. Even if I am excluded, the remaining people are qualified to lead a local hot war.

Unfortunately, although it is not low, it is definitely not particularly strong.

Song Shi dialed the communication.

"Chu Tonglu, there is good news, come quickly."
