Chapter 47

On October 1, 1961, the People's Republic of China had been established for 12 years.

This country now had nothing to do with Katherine, but since it was her former homeland, she always felt a mix of emotions whenever she heard news about it.

However, on the same day, Katherine was at Jenny's shooting club, planning to establish a security company and trying to expand her influence during the Vietnam War.

"Ada, does your father have any way to contact some veterans or something like that?"

She suddenly asked.

"What's up, Kate?" Ada looked at Katherine curiously.

"I want to start a security company," Katherine said with a smile, but then she thought for a moment: "It would probably be more appropriate to call it a security contractor or a military contractor. Of course, it could also be called a private military company."

The world's largest private military company, MPRI Military Resources, was established in 1987, and the later Blackwater was established in 1997. At this time, this market was also an area that she could occupy!

After all, in the future, MPRI had operations in over 40 countries, with branches throughout the United States and overseas. The smallest single contract was worth $4 million, and typical contracts were in the tens of millions or even hundreds of millions!

High profit!

Only the military industry could truly be so profitable!

Of course, Katherine had no chance of entering this industry for the time being or for a long time, but the extension industry like private military companies had no major companies involved, and the conflicts and issues were not prominent. Why not take advantage of this time to occupy this market?

"I'll try to ask," Ada replied.

Then, Katherine went to Jenny.

"Jenny, can you give me your grandfather's phone number or other contact information?"

"Kate, every time we go out, my grandfather's bodyguards protect us in secret. Do we really need to set up a company for that?" Jenny asked curiously.

Katherine thought of the bright future and smiled: "No, Jenny, it's not that simple. We're more like a mercenary organization."

Jenny nodded, understanding.

Since it was similar to a mercenary organization, weapons supply was essential. At this moment, Katherine thought of Old White.

Moreover... he was the only arms dealer she knew, and he was also Jenny's grandfather.

Although he was just one of the shareholders and might not represent the entire company's interests, Katherine believed this was a path.

Who knows, it might work?

However, after obtaining Old White's contact information, Katherine did not immediately call him.

Although she was Jenny's friend, the other party might not take her seriously.

What Katherine needed was initial success and a well-thought-out plan.

Most businessmen were not easily swayed. To impress them, she needed some achievements. Besides, even if Old White agreed through Jenny's connection, his company might not agree. After all, he was not the chairman.

The plan was still ongoing. The Vietnam War had just begun, and Katherine still had time.

After the shooting session, Jenny gave each of them a custom-made membership card.

However, it seemed they had lost interest in shooting.

After all, once you get used to something, it no longer feels novel. Their understanding of firearms had clearly reached its limit.

Katherine was an exception.

Even though she had bodyguards, she still came to practice. In Katherine's mind, self-protection was essential. She had previously looked forward to Bruce Lee's martial arts, but handgun shooting training seemed more convenient and effective.

When she got home, Katherine immediately began drafting a plan and prepared to give it to Bruce, asking for his opinion.

"To be frank, Kate, are you not aware that too much can be overwhelming?" Bruce had spent a whole month organizing the company and felt dizzy. He had finally had a few days of relaxation, but he did not expect Katherine to come with another proposal.

"Isn't making money good? Are we going to let profitable industries go? This is a good opportunity, why not make money?"

"But do you have enough energy, Kate? You still need to study, train in ballet, and have a lot of other things to do."

Katherine shrugged.

"Maybe, but didn't you say I don't need to do everything myself, I just need to manage people?"

In fact, most private military companies were shell companies. Apart from sales, finance, human resources, and senior management, most of the contractors working outside were not permanent employees. For example, many sources introducing MPRI claim that the company has the data of thousands of retired U.S. military personnel, but these thousands are not formal employees; they are just listed on the company's roster.

Therefore, such a company mainly needs to manage human resources, rather than having the complicated tasks of product development and sales like a regular company.

"Alright, give me the plan, I'll take a look," Bruce said, somewhat discouraged.

Katherine happily handed over her plan.

"Too much can be overwhelming, Kate," Bruce warned her again as she left.

Although Katherine was involved in many industries, she still knew the difference between primary and secondary. Her advantageous industries were computers and electronics, so her main focus was in these areas. While other industries were profitable, she would not engage in them if she was not capable.

For example, Katherine knew that Walmart would become successful and its founder, Sam Walton, would become the world's richest person, but she had no way to get involved in this area.

First, she had no understanding of Walmart's business model. As for Blackwater, Katherine had once searched for it out of interest, but who would search for Walmart for no reason? Second, Walmart's development was a long-term process. If Katherine had the time, she could earn more by doing other things. After all, she was not familiar with this industry.

The "Magic Chess" series had temporarily reached a "perfect" state, and Katherine's focus had shifted from this area.

This aspect was developing systematically, and she was now focusing on developing computers that could advance towards future technology.

With communication with Seymour Cray, the father of supercomputers, he had provided many valuable suggestions. At least Katherine was not completely in the dark about supercomputers.

Katherine was now considering the production of CPUs.

After all, there were none at this time.

What if she was the inventor of the CPU?

Hey, that would be really interesting!
