It was to meet a foreign head of state at the airport. Zhe Mei Jie and his companions put on uniform dark suits and were "armed to the teeth". They were both excited and nervous. "The scene is very big. My eyes suddenly failed, and my brain was a little dizzy, because I had to determine in the shortest possible time who were interviewed formally, who were journalists, who should be in this intimate circle and who should not. You should also pay attention to your position. You can't stand in front of important people to block the camera, nor can you stand directly behind them. " After successfully completing the task, Zhe Mei Jie found his clothes wet because he was too absorbed. However, he still has a sense of accomplishment.
Mei Jie described his most memorable task like this. In the early 1990s, PLO leader Arafat visited China and served as a private bodyguard. "We accompanied him to visit Fangzhuang in Beijing. During the visit, there was a loud noise nearby, which was a bit like the sound of explosives. " Mei Jie and his colleagues were very nervous, because Arafat's danger level was very high, and many external information also reflected that an assassin had taken action against him. "So people close to Arafat immediately protected him with their bodies, and other guards and bodyguards put their hands on their guns and prepared to attack at any time. As a result, everyone saw that it was the sound from the exhaust pipe of the car not far away, which was a false alarm. "
People with a little brains don't believe that such a false alarm can be crowned as the "most", because it is incredible for a person who needs to keep his work secret to throw an event with a clear time, place and people. Who knows how many times it was carefully choreographed before it came out.
Good intentions are certainly understandable. Bodyguard itself is a legendary and mysterious profession, not to mention Zhongnanhai bodyguards, leaving people with unlimited imagination.
Take care of Jordan's Japanese bodyguard with one move
Although 10 years of security career has benefited many people for life, at the age of 30, he still proposed to quit the security bureau.
"After a long time, this stage is a little small for me, and I feel that my energy is not fully exerted. I can't work in one place all my life. I am not very quiet. I have always wanted to find a bigger stage and surpass myself. " Mei Jie's tone is very firm.
After job-hopping, Mei Jie returned to the public security system and worked as a security guard for large-scale activities. After three years of accumulation and drifting, he finally set up his own security company to provide security consulting and special services for celebrities, dignitaries and large enterprises. This was the first one in Beijing at that time. Mei Jie called his team risk controllers or security consultants, not bodyguards. "There is no bodyguard profession in China, and it is impossible to set up a bodyguard company casually."
As a result, celebrities in entertainment, sports and business circles have become the company's main service targets. Pavarotti, Schwarzenegger, Jordan, Real Madrid, Japanese Sumo Team, Li Ao, etc. Are on the list of clients in Mei Jie.
NBA superstar Jordan has great appeal and influence in the eyes of fans. So when he went to China to participate in activities, he attracted a large number of fans. They chase and chase, and they are almost crazy to get a glimpse of the stars or get autographs.
As the security personnel of the event, in order to protect the personal safety of the stars, Zhe Mei Jie and his partners had to play a cat-and-mouse game with crazy fans. They constantly change the location and route of their activities. All the planning is meticulous, flexible, ingenious and surprising, successfully avoiding the encirclement of fans and successfully completing various commercial activities. Jordan couldn't help but give a thumbs-up and praise: "Verygood!" Mei Jie also told reporters an interesting episode: "At that time, a bodyguard brought by Jordan from Japan was a martial arts expert, and his attitude was arrogant when he performed tasks with us. Once in an international club, he offered to compete, and I showed him the charm of China Tai Chi-knocking him down with one stroke. Since then, he has been respectful to our guards in China. " Say that finish, serious Mei Jie gently say with smile:
"Save" Beckham and Ronaldo
It is worth mentioning that the two trips of Real Madrid to China were provided by Mei Jie and his team.
In 2003, when Real Madrid came to China for the first time, the organizers invited companies in Mei Jie to provide security services. "The first cooperation and coordination was not very good, and the organizers did not estimate the security work enough. We mainly provide manpower and don't have a full set of security plans, so I objectively say that Real Madrid's first visit to Beijing is a bit messy. "
At a press conference, the accompanying security guards of Real Madrid also clashed with the on-site staff, because the organizers felt that he had paid the price for it and wanted Real Madrid to stay at the scene for a while, but the security guards of Real Madrid firmly disagreed. In Yunnan, there have also been incidents in which fans rushed into the stadium to disturb the order.
"The sheriff of Real Madrid used to be the Royal Spanish Police. He heard that I was similar to him and wanted to meet me, but I was organizing a China police rally in Hainan and couldn't meet him. " Mei Jie said.
Real Madrid came to China for the second time in 2005, and the two sides finally met. With the first class, the other party formally submitted a power of attorney to Mei Jie, asking him to be the Chinese security officer. Unlike foreign bodyguards, Mei Jie is not tall and powerful, and his face is not intimidating, which makes real Madrid security officials doubt the ability of him and his team.
In a hotel in Tanggu, Tianjin, Real Madrid and his party were in danger. "This is a temporary business activity. We didn't have time to control the safety of the site in advance, and the organizers didn't make full preparations for the event. As a result, the hotel is very messy and the fans are crowded. "
Because they haven't eaten yet, some players eat while walking with food in their hands, and soon the crowd will flock. Seeing this, Mei Jie and Real Madrid security guards rushed out with Beckham in tandem, and other security guards pulled up a human wall around. "Really robbed. Beckham and Ronaldo's clothes were torn. If no one protects these stars like a shield, their bodies will be damaged. " Mei Jie recalled.
Crowd gathering, once out of control, is prone to danger. After saving the day several times, the security officials of Real Madrid fully believed Mei Jie's team. After the successful trip to China, Spanish security officials came to Mei Jie's room with gifts to express their thanks. "He told me that I hope to lead a team to Spain in the future, and Real Madrid will be our home."
And Li Ao became friends.
"This profession is like the protector of a temple-Bodhisattva Wei Tuo," Mei Jie said, so he would rather be wronged and "hate the keeper" than see danger coming, because once something goes wrong, it means the mission will fail.
It is precisely because of the test of many large-scale activities that Zhe Mei Jie and his team won a good reputation in the industry, and the organizers of "Li Ao Shenzhou Cultural Tour" came here with admiration.
For Mei Jie, Li Ao is a special figure in his career. He is not a star, but he has many admirers. He is a folk figure, but it affects cross-strait exchanges. Some people love him, others hate him.
Zhe Mei Jie sighed: "At first, I didn't like both." At first, Li Ao didn't pay much attention to the security work, thinking that the security guards need not be so nervous. "When we visited Fayuan Temple, the space inside was very small. We proposed to control the number of people at the scene, and as a result, many people went in. Someone grabbed him and pulled him, and someone reached out and hit him from behind, but we found him in time and stopped him. At that time, Li Ao and the organizers didn't know, and they were a little scared when they told them afterwards. After all, Li Ao is over 70 years old and can't stand it. "
In Peking University Library, Li Ao was once again surrounded by thousands of fans.
"We visited the exhibition room of the library first. During the visit, we found many people gathered outside. The scene is out of control, we can't get out at all, and there is no back door. It's too late to move people now. There are few of us, and the Qing people can't move. There are more and more people outside, so there is no way but to rush out. "
Mei Jie and others escorted Li Aogang out, and the crowd suddenly swarmed and surrounded them.
"Li Ao also got a fright, I didn't think this crazy scene. It's as if we fought our way out and used all the eight diagrams we practiced, hugging, pushing and pulling, and we just saved him. He wasn't hurt. We are all in a mess. Our clothes were torn, our walkie-talkie was lost, our shoes were dropped, and our glasses legs were broken. We were still black and blue. "
Through these two things, the relationship between Li Ao and the guards suddenly became closer. After arriving in Shanghai, the organizer simply transferred Li Ao and the guard room together. Li Ao often goes to bed late. When he couldn't sleep, he took Mei Jie to chat and talked all night.
Mei Jie said that up to now, he still keeps in touch with Li Ao frequently, and has become a veritable friend who has forgotten the past year.
At the end of the interview, Zhe Mei Jie said earnestly: "Most people may think that our industry is beautiful, but they are unlikely to understand some difficulties behind it. For example, if you want to be an excellent defender, you must have a strong body. It goes without saying that we practice three or nine in winter and three in summer. When performing a task, I often don't eat or drink, and I can't rest for more than ten hours. This is a daily - happened thing. But I think these physical pains are nothing compared with mental tension, because in this kind of work, we must always keep a state of tension. Therefore, I advise friends who are very interested in this industry and want to join this ranks to be psychologically prepared. "
