Hearing Lord Banks’s exclamation, Master Hett also agreed and said, “Master, there are too many dark sides of the overseas world that are not known to the people. Moreover, the more troubled a place is, the easier it is to breed a powerful organization like the Ten Thousand Dragons Temple!”
“I just didn’t expect it. I really didn’t expect that the head of the Ten Thousand Dragons Temple would be so young, and I really can’t imagine what kind of luck Wesley Drake has to be able to create a superb group in such a short period of time! Ordinary people couldn’t do it anyway!”
Lord Banks couldn’t help but ask, “By the way, how is the financial strength of the Ten Thousand Dragons Temple?”
“It’s also very strong!” Master Hett said seriously, “With this kind of mercenary organization, the profitability is very strong!”
After a pause, Master Hett continued, “The revenue of the Ten Thousand Dragons Temple is estimated to be at least a hundred billion dollars a year.”
“What?!” Lord Banks asked, dumbfounded, “A hundred of billions of dollars a year. This is a money making machine!”
Master Hett explained, “Master, a hundred billion dollars seems a lot, but don’t forget. There are tens of thousands of mercenaries in the Ten Thousand Dragons Temple, and these mercenaries are all masters of the highest level, and their average salary is very high.”
“Even the most ordinary soldiers, no one will do this kind of work without a hundred thousand dollars a year at a minimum. And then counting the senior officers of those mercenaries, I think the average annual salary must be at least three or four hundred thousand dollars. With 50,000 people, just the payroll, it would be at least fifty billion dollars a year.”
“And that’s just the cost of salaries, not including the cost of bases, training, meals, transportation, and the cost of maintaining weapons and equipment. And the bigger cost is weapons and ammunition; a bullet costs a few dollars, a grenade hundreds of dollars, a shell thousands of dollars, and when you fight a war, the money is spent faster than it is made.”
“Moreover, for these top-ranked mercenary organizations, reputation is very important, and once casualties occur on the battlefield, they must be responsible to the end. If someone is injured, a full set of medical treatment must be provided; if someone is sacrificed, a substantial pension must be paid.”
Speaking of this. Master Hett concluded, “I estimate that the annual net profit of Ten Thousand Dragons Temple should be around ten billion dollars.”
Lord Banks lamented, “Ten billion dollars is a lot of money! This group of people has been hanging around outside the law for years, and they don’t have to pay taxes, so whatever they earn is their own.”
Master Hett nodded and said, “As far as I know, they are now expanding wildly in the third world war-torn countries. The overall investment cost is estimated to be very high, but after they have successfully established their roots in all war-torn areas. Their strength can definitely go up another level.”
Lord Banks frowned and said offhandedly, “I really didn’t expect that this Wesley Drake was so capable! In a place outside of the law, where even the most basic personal safety is not guaranteed, favonovel.com can actually build a mercenary organization with huge strength in such a place, it’s really not simple! Compared to his simple-minded, reckless father. I don’t know how much stronger favonovel.com is!”
Master Hett said with approval, “This person is indeed not simple, and I see that favonovel.com is very grateful for the kindness that the youngest master showed to their family back then, if you can make good use of this, it might bring us more help!”
Lord Banks nodded with excitement and said, “Yes, this is definitely a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for my Banks Family!”
