Charlie smiled as he said: "Based on what I know, it seems as though the government and the opposition forces have already been in a deadlock war for a very long time. Moreover, their government is also short of money, food, weapons, and ammunition. They would also have inadequate training throughout the year, and they would certainly have very low combat effectiveness. Besides that, the government only sent a few soldiers over there to protect and ensure your team’s safety. In my opinion, that is basically useless. All of you are just unarmed and talented young people. So, if an accident were to happen, all of you would not even have the chance to escape at all."
Autumn replied a little hesitantly: "Well... I don't think that it is that serious..."
Charlie smiled as he said: "That is just your own assumption. If something were to truly happen, your assumption or opinion would not really matter at all."
As he spoke, Charlie suddenly remembered something, and he said: "I heard that mercenaries are very popular and common in chaotic and turbulent places such as the Middle East. So, you could actually hire dozens of well-equipped and well-trained mercenaries to protect and ensure your safety during the filming process. That way, your safety would be better guaranteed, then."
Autumn replied embarrassedly: "The cost of hiring mercenaries is simply too high. We have already consulted Blackwater Company in the United States. I f they were to stay on the front line in Syria, the mercenaries’ salary would have to be settled on a daily basis. A person's daily salary would cost about two thousand US dollars, and the cost of any weapons and equipment is not included in this figure. The cost of any weapons and ammunition would have to be calculated separately. If they need to be equipped with vehicles, the prices are simply exorbitant. Since we have a very tight budget, we cannot afford to hire any mercenaries at all.” 3
Charlie laughed as he said, "Look! You can figure everything out now. I believe you also realize the significance of the twenty million US dollars that I have promised you just now!”
"As long as you are willing to return to the country to help me, I will give your team the twenty million US dollars immediately."
"If a mercenary could be hired for two thousand US dollars a day, your team can easily hire twenty mercenaries, which would only cost them forty thousand US dollars a day."
