Chapter 429: The Reason for Thinking of Wealth and Honor
We must respect the profession and believe in the professionalism of professionals.
Specialization in skills is too obvious in the field of private force, just like bodyguards have bodyguard positions, and black troops have usages of black troops. You can't let machine gunners use mortars, and you can't let gunners fight assaults.
In other industries, the boss may like to point fingers, but in the private military industry, the boss will never interfere in the work of his subordinates. Why, because disorderly command will lead to death.
Some people feel that they are the most powerful, and they like to take care of everything, and want to show their authority as the boss in everything. Such bosses are very annoying, but it is okay, as long as it is an industry related to force.
This kind of boss usually dies quickly and won't be annoying for long.
So although Gao Guang didn't understand Leon's behavior, he would never say another word, and he would never undermine Leon.
If there's anything you don't understand, just come back and talk about it privately.
"You didn't tell me at the beginning that you were going to tie it with other arms."
"Because I didn't know the situation here at the beginning, but I know that there will definitely be no results from the discussion tonight. This is just our first contact to test each other out."
It wasn't until he returned to the hotel and entered the room that Gao Guang talked to Leon about what happened tonight, but he didn't mean to blame him in particular, and Leon also understood very well that he could make his own decisions, but he had to tell the truth afterwards.
speak out.
Leon thought for a moment, and then he whispered: "I have to explain to you Kacho's identity first. First of all, he is indeed a major general. He was once a senior general of the Ethiopian National Defense Force, but he was dismissed last year. Now
He is just an ordinary person, a civilian."
This matter is related to the situation in Ethiopia.
Tigrayans account for 8% of the total population in Ethiopia, and until now the entire Ethiopia was controlled by the Tigrayans.
But starting in 2018, the Tigrayans lost power. After the new government representing the interests of the Oromo and Amhara people came to power, they drove the Tigrayans out of the Ethiopian government. A large number of Tigrayans in the army
People were also forced to go home, but although these former Ethiopian leaders and military generals lost their official status, they were still important figures in Tigray.
To put it simply, the new Ethiopian Communist Party wants to eliminate vassals, and the TPLF, which represents the interests of the Tigray people, is the target of elimination. Why do everyone think that the Ethiopian civil war is inevitable? This is the reason.
Gaoguang motioned for Leon to continue.
Leon whispered: "The Tigrayans used to control the entire Ethiopian army. Now they have been driven away. A large number of mid-level and senior commanders have also been driven out of the army. But when the Tigrayans were driven away, they could not
Taking away weapons, they have been mentally prepared for war, but they are seriously lacking weapons, and now there are many garrisons sent by the new regime in Tigray, and the people of Tigray are closely monitored by the new regime."
"go on."
"I managed to transport a batch of ammunition last year. Speaking of which, do you know how much M43 military surplus ammunition sells for in the United States?"
Gao Guang thought for a while and said: "I know that the cheapest price was seven rounds for one dollar, but now it has gone up a lot. I don't know the exact price."
Leon said seriously: "I'm talking about military surplus ammunition, the kind produced by the former Soviet Union decades ago. Those that are less than 40 years old are not military surplus ammunition. How much do you think this kind of ammunition should cost?"
?”
The M43 intermediate bullet is the bullet used by the AK47. Military surplus ammunition specifically refers to the huge amount of ammunition produced by the Soviet Union and any other country that could produce this kind of bullet during the Cold War. This kind of bullet has been in stock for at least forty years, because forty
Bullets that are less than 20 years old are new and will not be treated as military surplus.
Gao Guang shook his head and said: "I don't know, don't ask me, just tell me."
"Now the United States no longer allows the import of this kind of military surplus ammunition, but the wholesale price to the United States was forty-five US dollars per box before, and then it rose to one hundred US dollars. After that, the import was banned, and
Now the normal price in American gun stores is two rounds for one dollar. _o_m ”
Leon held out two fingers, and then he whispered: "The bullets I sent here last year were also two rounds for one dollar. Do you know what this concept is?"
Leon begins to reveal his identity as an arms dealer.
The core business secret is his shipping price.
Gao Guang asked seriously, "What does it mean?"
"Ten times the profit!"
Leon breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Last year I shipped a thousand boxes, which is 1.5 million rounds of bullets. Excluding the freight and costs, I made half a million dollars just by reselling this batch of bullets."
It’s only 500,000, why are you talking so seriously?·····
But Leon continued to say seriously: "Now Kachu has taken the initiative to raise the price, one dollar per shot. What does this mean? It means that the Tiren Formation is really short of weapons and ammunition. They are in a hurry. We can at least sell it for one dollar."
One round, if we can ship 100 million rounds...?"
Gao Guang sighed, held Leon's shoulders and whispered, "Man, talk about drones."
Leon was interrupted. He hesitated for a while and said: "They will buy drones. One hundred million dollars is not a small amount, but the TPLF is not short of money. No matter how poor Ethiopia is, it is still a country. They take the initiative to set the price of bullets."
Doubling the price means they are ready to be brutally slaughtered. If they can make a slight profit on bullets and sell drones together, they will definitely accept it."
Gao Guang thought for a while and said: "You mean, if you want to sell drones, you have to transport them bullets?"
Leon whispered: "This is the simplest way. They are not interested in drones, but if they are bundled, they have to buy them."
Gao Guang has specialization in the industry. No matter how Leon sells it, Gao Guang can just leave the task of selling drones to Leon, but Leon can't kidnap him in turn, forcing him to find a way to find guns and ammunition. In the end
Only then can we sell the drone.
As a boss, only the results are enough. As for the process, that is what Leon considers.
Gao Guang shook his head and said: "I just want to sell drones now, and I don't consider selling ammunition. It's up to you to decide how to sell them, but you don't want to increase my business scope and workload."
I respect your professionalism and will not interfere with your practice, but if you dare to harm my interests, then don't blame me for being rude. This is what Gao Guang wants to tell Leon.
Leon knew what Gao Guang meant, and he whispered: "Today is just the first contact. Kachu just wants to know what we brought, so it doesn't matter whether the expedition goes today, but tomorrow will be different.
, tomorrow is the key.”
After thinking for a moment, Leon continued: "Tomorrow I will make a quotation. The drone will be sold for 120 million US dollars. It will be fine if we can finally sell it for 110 million, but the extra 10 million belongs to Kachu."
.”
"Oh, kickback, I understand?..." Gao Guang suddenly realized, and said: "You should explain it more clearly, why are you so vague?"
Leon said helplessly: "Kachu is my personal relationship. What we talked about when we met was the base price. One dollar per round of bullets was the lowest price for me, but the minimum price quoted to the Tiren Formation was one dollar per bullet, and the extra price went to Kachu."
, I quote a price of US$100 million for the drone, and no matter how much it sells in the end, the extra money will belong to Kachu.”
Gao Guang nodded and said: "Now I understand what tonight's meeting means. You should have told me earlier. If you had told me earlier, I wouldn't have to let the expedition go."
"You respect me, of course I have to respect you. In fact, I don't want to increase your business scope, but...?"
Leon swallowed, and said seriously: "You sell drones, and I sell arms. I will find a way to get the People's Liberation Army to pay for your drones first, and then I will transport the arms to them.
The two of us just think of it as cooperation, do you think that’s okay?”
After going around in a big circle, it turns out that Leon is waiting for the highlight here. He has made quite a detour.
The Tiren Group paid 100 million U.S. dollars to buy the drone as a down payment for the purchase of arms, but Gao Guang took away the money without leaving any cents for Leon, and then he achieved all his goals. @essence\/
Bookstore·No mistake first release~~
Leon used the spotlight to escape, and then he could make a lot of money from the Tiren Formation. Although the money from the drone had nothing to do with him, as long as he could make the subsequent arms business, he could still make a lot of money.
.
This can be regarded as a win-win situation, because whether Leon earns more or less is secondary, no matter how bad he is, it is still better than him staying in prison.
After trying to understand the twists and turns, Gao Guang looked at Leon in surprise and said: "One hundred million US dollars is not a small amount. Are you sure you dare to accept such a large deposit from the recruitment team?
After I take the money away, will you still be able to continue your business?"
Leon would definitely not have said these words to Gao Guang until he was on the ground, but now if he wanted to hide something, he would be seeking death. He would say whatever he said.
Leon was not a light-hearted man. He said calmly: "Kachu said he would try his best to facilitate our deal. As long as he said the word "try his best", there is basically no big problem, as long as we can satisfy him."
This is slang, or jargon. We met tonight and found out that Leon and Kachu had already reached an agreement on the deal. Only the two laymen, Gao Guang and Yuan Zheng, didn't understand what it meant.
Leon continued: "I really have no capital, so I will promote your business first. After your transaction is completed, we will cooperate on the next project. After you get the payment for the drone, you will give me the money to invest."
, let’s cooperate, you pay for me to buy the goods, I only need 30%, no, 20%, how about that?”
Killing two birds with one stone, Leon is killing three birds with one stone.
A hero does not care about his birthplace, but his wealth and honor should be related to his origin.
How Leon made his fortune can be seen from his operations.
This trick of borrowing a chicken to lay eggs is really amazing and has to be admired. First update@
Gao Guang sighed with emotion: "You are such a talent! Really!"
Leon was not proud, he just whispered: "I find the source of M43 bullets for one dollar per round, and I find the transportation channels. You only need to advance the deposit, and if you resell it, you will make ten times the profit! This is no better than selling drones."
How fast? Are there grenades, rockets, rifles and machine guns?...Boss, this is a rare opportunity. This kind of opportunity really doesn't come around all the time. It's faster than selling it to the Middle East!"
Gao Guang was persuaded, but he did not and would not lose his mind.
Remember what you are here to do, protect your capital first, and then consider expanding your profits.
Gao Guang patted Leon's shoulder again and said: "Sell the drone first, and I can invest in your business with the money. If you can't sell the drone and get the money, then let's stop talking about it.
