บททั้งหมดของ Rick's Dilemma: บทที่ 221 - บทที่ 230

When Rick got back to the office, Old Wilson and the general were just coming in as well. They had spent their lunch time discussing the new machines and were to purchase them. Old Wilson had found several office supply stores that carried the brand that the general had in mind. They were able to order the quanitity that was required as well as a few extra for back up. The general also suggested having a remote backup plan to ensure the data safety in case of a disastorous incident in the office such as a fire. Old Wilson agreed and put that on his list of things to accomplish. They greeted Rick and asked how it went with Debbie. He said "It went surprisingly well. She was not really that put out with the delay. So, if you don't need me over the next few days, I will accompany her and Matthew around town to take in the sights. Also, I have another request of you Old Friend." Rick was waiting on the day that when he said this to Old Wilson, that he would turn around and sock him in

The next afternoon at the office, the new servers had been delivered and were being installed. It was a straight forward installation, and no issues were noted. After the servers were installed, the real work began. General Han was a meticulous man. He took his responsibility very seriously when it came to security. He had learned over the years that more than just people and property must be secure. One of the most important commodities in the business world now a days was information. The computer era had brought forth a new kind of security issue, and that was the protection of data. It could be very valuable to competitors to get their hands on a rival's data of contracts, accounts recievable, and even employee records. The general had made it his business to learn of every new way that was available to protect these records, from secure storage to remote archives. Therefore, the servers that he was having installed were going to be the most secure that he could make them.

Anita was doing an amazing job with the inspection. The office Managing Director was Mr. Lewis Jackson. He had been at his position for several years. His control of the office staff was guided by a gentle hand. His main concern, and the reason he had asked for this visit from Old Wilson and Mr. Green, was that he had encountered some problems with suppliers. They had tried to default on several contracts that had been in force since he had been named to his spot in the company. Mr. Jackson suspected that it was a play to raise the suppliers' rates, without the benefit of signing new deals with RBG Investments. Anita took the time to really listen to all of Mr. Jackson's concerns before delving into an internal audit. General Han had already done the computer scans and run the remote audit on the financials. The audit that Anita and her team were conducting had to do with the contracts themselves. Each supplier had their own individual contract that was for five years. Most still h

Rick and the group sat in astonishment. They had all heard of protection rackets and stand over men before. But this was on a whole new level of viciousness. Old Wilson spoke up "We need to get General Han here immediately. I believe that he can help put this to rights. With his contacts, and his stategy skills, we can help these people overcome this common thug." Rick said "I'll call him now and see what he suggests that we do." He took out his phone and gave the general a call. "General Han, I hate to bother you, but we have a problem that only you are qualified to solve." With that, he explained the situation in detail to the general. General Han realised that Rick was depending on him to help solve this issue. It was as he said, a problem that called for some muscle to resolve. He was in the middle of the software installation, but trusted Helen to finish with no problem. Anyway, he would be back in a few days to verify the results. He told Rick "Master Green, I'll be there

After finishing up the work in New Delhi, Jonathan and Peter Harden had returned to Beijing and Fing City respectively. Old Wilson never thought that their expertise would be needed again on this trip. He was now regreting his decision to send them both home. The general had come up with a plan to capture the Mr. Lopez, with the help of the local police. After consulting with an old army friend, the general was introduced to the Chief of Police in Granada. As it turns out, they had met before, during some co-operative field exercises back in the day. Together, the Chief and the General planned out the stategy to bring this Lopez and his gang of thugs to justice. The police had known about his dealings for some time, but no one would come forward to give them any information to use against the man. Now that they had someone willing to talk, it was only a matter of time before the criminal was caught. There was a long list of crimes he would have to answer to. Old Wilson was
