Chapter 228

"I admit defeat since I've fallen into your hands. Do whatever you want with me!"

Guan Shanhai said.

"If I wanted to kill you, you wouldn't be alive right now."

Ni Yongyao said: "My weapons company has just been established, and it's exactly the time when I need manpower. I'd like to invite Mr. Guan to come here and help out."

"Help out?"

Guan Shanhai gritted his teeth inwardly; he had never seen anyone "invite" people the way Ni Yongyao did.

"If I refuse, will I die immediately?"

Guan Shanhai asked.

"That's right."

Ni Yongyao confirmed without any evasion.

"It seems I have no choice."

After a few seconds of silence, Guan Shanhai took a deep breath, stood up, and lowered his head toward Ni Yongyao.

Between life and death, Guan Shanhai chose to live.

"Very good. I knew you were a smart man."

Ni Yongyao said, snapping his fingers.

Fox understood and placed a contract in front of Guan Shanhai.

"Sign the contract, and you will be the sales manager of Black Steel Industrial."

Ni Yongyao said.

Guan Shanhai sighed. Things had reached this point, and he had no other choice, so he immediately signed his name on the contract.

"Fox, take him to the factory and let him familiarize himself with the products."

Ni Yongyao ordered.

"Yes, Mr. Ni."

Fox nodded and then led the dejected Guan Shanhai out of the study.

If Black Steel Industrial's weapons were to be sold, they naturally needed qualified sales personnel. The ability to deal with various factions and even countries was something ordinary people simply didn't possess.

That was why Ni Yongyao had let John Wick spare Guan Shanhai's life.

And one Guan Shanhai was far from enough for the scale of Black Steel Industrial.

Ni Yongyao finished his cigar, thought for a moment, picked up his phone, and dialed Yuri's number.

If there was anyone who was the world's most outstanding arms dealer, it was definitely Yuri.

Yuri started from scratch and, in just a few years, became the biggest private arms dealer.

Of course, that was Yuri a few years later; right now, he was still in the development stage of his career.

What Ni Yongyao intended to do was to pull Yuri into Black Steel Industrial before he truly rose to prominence.

Beep, beep, beep.

The call connected quickly.

"Mr. Ni."

Yuri's voice sounded on the phone.

"Yuri, I've opened a weapons company. Are you interested in working for me?"

Ni Yongyao said straight to the point.

"A weapons company?"

Yuri was very surprised. As far as he knew, Hong Kong did not allow private individuals to open weapons companies, but he didn't ask much, just marveling at Ni Yongyao's vast resources.

"Mr. Ni, I'm very satisfied with my current work model. Working for myself is a bit hard, but at least it's free."

Yuri said.

Ni Yongyao had anticipated this and said slowly: "Don't be in such a hurry to refuse. I haven't told you the conditions I'm offering yet."

"Please go ahead, Mr. Ni."

Yuri did not object, though he had already prepared his refusal in his mind.

"If you work for me, I can offer you an annual salary of one million US dollars. And that's just the fixed salary; you will also receive a commission for every weapon you sell."

Ni Yongyao said.

As soon as these words were spoken, all the wording Yuri had prepared immediately got stuck in his throat.

"Mr. Ni, are you joking? An annual salary of one million US dollars?"

Yuri said in astonishment.

Yuri had never thought that Ni Yongyao would offer such a high price, and with additional commissions on top of that.

"I never joke. Besides, in addition to the salary, I will also provide you with a top-tier bodyguard team. No matter where you go, I can guarantee your safety."

Ni Yongyao said.

If an annual salary of one million had only made Yuri tempted, then this last sentence made Yuri stop hesitating, and he immediately agreed to Ni Yongyao.

"Mr. Ni, say no more. I'll head to Hong Kong immediately and work for you from now on."

Yuri said solemnly.

Ever since he became an arms dealer, Yuri had frequently come into contact with various dangerous figures, especially some warlords in Africa, which had caused Yuri to encounter life-threatening situations more than once.

Therefore, when he heard that Ni Yongyao could guarantee his safety, he agreed immediately.

After all, compared to the freedom of working for himself, staying alive was more important.

The next day.

Yuri took a plane and arrived in Hong Kong.

He then rushed to the Ni manor and met Ni Yongyao.

"Mr. Ni, we meet again."

Yuri wore a warm, enthusiastic smile and opened his arms, intending to give Ni Yongyao a bear hug as he had in the past.

But soon, Yuri realized that their relationship was no longer that of friends, but of boss and subordinate.

"Sorry, I almost forgot that you are already my boss."

Yuri stopped his movement and shrugged, saying.

"You are just working for me; this doesn't conflict with our personal relationship."

Ni Yongyao said with a smile.

Seeing this, Yuri smiled again.

He then signed his name on the contract handed to him by Fox.

"Mr. Ni, what are the company's products?"

After signing the contract, Yuri immediately entered work mode.

As a sales manager, Yuri needed to master all the details of the company's products; only then could he accurately select clients and successfully sell the products.

"Everything you need is right there."

Ni Yongyao pointed to the two weapons cases on the floor nearby.

Yuri walked over and opened one of the cases, seeing a brand-new HK416 lying inside, along with an extremely detailed manual.

At the first sight of the HK416, Yuri was immediately captivated.

Having been an arms dealer for so long, Yuri had come into contact with hundreds of weapons from different countries and could tell at a glance that the HK416 before him was definitely top-tier goods.

Yuri didn't pick up the HK416 directly, but instead flipped through the manual first, checking the various performance specs of the 416 before picking up the gun.

Although it was his first time handling it, Yuri got the hang of it quickly, and after fiddling with it for a few moments, his movements became very proficient.

"Mr. Ni, is this the company's latest product? I have to say, she is the best rifle I have ever seen, bar none!"

Ten minutes later, Yuri put down the HK416, still wanting more, and exclaimed in admiration.

Among all the rifles Yuri had come into contact with in the past, none could compare to the HK416; she was like a top-tier lady who would make anyone with an eye for quality fall in love with her.

Subsequently, Yuri opened the other weapons case and saw the MPX inside, along with a host of MPX accessories.

The MPX adopted a highly modular design, which could adapt to various complex mission requirements by changing different components.

After Yuri handled the MPX, shock appeared in his eyes once again.

Only then did Yuri realize the strength of Black Steel Industrial, and he also felt fortunate that he had joined the company.

"Mr. Ni, this is the first time I've seen a weapon with this design philosophy. It's truly amazing!"

Yuri exclaimed, shocked by the MPX's modular design.

Regarding Yuri's words, Ni Yongyao said nothing. In his view, this was normal; after all, whether it was the HK416 or the MPX, they were weapons developed more than a decade later, "future firearms" in the true sense. ===== CHAPTER 230 =====
