Chapter 175 White Gloves
"Do you know white gloves? Help our family handle some troubles, and I can convince the family to come forward to protect your business in the federal government!"
Ye Qing had already learned the meaning of the white glove from Yanan Morishima. To put it bluntly, it was people who handled some things that could not be seen in the light for these consortiums.
They can be mercenaries, gangsters, lawyers, or even public officials such as police, and so on. The group composition is completely unfixed. But there is only one thing that is that they are all "scavengers" who do dirty work.
Compared with the meaning of white gloves, Ye Qing was more curious about two questions.
"Don't your family have an arms company? And why is it me?"
"Who told you that our [Bayi Chinese website www.81zw.xyz] has an arms company? Are you talking about Hekel Koch?"
Hannah was stunned by Ye Qing's remarks, and she was forced to hold back what she had originally planned to say.
"Yes, hk416/417, it's so famous. Isn't that your family?"
"No, they are a German company. Although there is a founder named Koch, it has nothing to do with our family. Our business focus is mainly on the federal government, and then on transportation. Electricity, natural gas, oil, etc., or asphalt and other technologies used in transportation."
Hannah frowned and explained in detail while answering Ye Qing's question.
"As for why I'm looking for you, it's what I just thought of."
"You can also see the current global economic situation. The stability of the raw material market for industrial enterprises like ours is crucial to us."
Hannah said this, paused for a moment and continued.
"Originally, our family has not put too much effort into this, and the white gloves are also concentrated in government personnel. However, at the end of last year, we obtained the mining rights of an oil field from the Angolan government. However, the situation there is quite complicated."
"The oil field is located in Cabinda Province, which is an enclave, sandwiched between the two Republics of Congo. There was a sudden oil field in this place, which was far from the local Angola. The Angolan government has extremely limited jurisdiction over it, and you also know that it is this government today, and it may be replaced tomorrow."
While listening to Hannah's description, Ye Qing opened the map to view the map of Angola. No one would pay attention to such an least developed country in the world.
The facts are similar to what Hannah said, and the location of Cabinda Province is indeed awkward.
"So we have not mined that oil field, and the workers cannot work with peace of mind. The local tribal armed forces, Congolese warlords, and even the villagers near the oil field want to join in the fun and get a share of the pie."
"So you need a mine protection team now? You can find PMC company. Although I sell guns, I don't have military employees."
As the saying goes, the world is bustling for profit, and the world is bustling for profit. Ye Qing can understand that in a place where the average annual GDP is 100 billion US dollars, there is suddenly an extra oil field. These African hyenas don’t pounce on them and eat them for two bites, which is a shame to their ancestors.
"Yes, but you can set up a PMC company. As long as you can handle this, protect our oil fields so that it can be mined normally. My dad and my second uncle are definitely willing to come forward to protect your federal industry."
When Hannah saw Ye Qing still looking a little confused, she was immediately angry.
"Our family has been discussing this matter during this period. At first, they planned to cooperate with Rockefeller. They have many PMC companies that they cooperate with, and they are familiar with. However, their asking price is too harsh and we cannot accept it."
"I originally planned to find someone to set up such a company by myself, but it has basically been confirmed. But if you can do this, it will be a good thing for both of us. We save time and effort, and you can continue to do your business here."
As he spoke, Hannah changed her mind.
"In addition, you know that the federal president is only allowed to be re-elected for two terms, unless in a wartime emergency?"
"I know, but what does this have to do with this?"
The topic suddenly jumped, and Ye Qing's forehead was getting more and more foggy. Why did the establishment of PMC company suddenly involve the president's election?
"You are usually very smart, why are you slow to react at this time?! You don't plan to stay in Africa for the rest of your life, right? Not to mention anything else, in the federal government, you can sell more than 50,000 US dollars for a custom gun. Where are you there? No one cares about you if you don't have $500 US dollars!"
Hannah's tone became more and more urgent, and she became less polite. She felt a sense of regret.
"And, judging by how you expand now, your ambitions are not small? The environment in that place is unstable and the industrial foundation is weak. Are you really willing to be a second-hand dealer for the rest of your life? Can you say that you have never thought about designing and producing weapons yourself?"
"I have thought that even now I am preparing for this goal! Changing guns has made me more aware of the structure of guns, and participating in competitions has made me more clear about the needs of different groups of people for guns. Even the store expansion is waiting for the weapon production license to come out and then I can have my own sales channels."
Ye Qing did not deny Hannah's words and admitted it frankly. In other words, as long as he is a person who is interested, he can see this at least by looking at Ye Qing's actions over the past year.
After saying what he kept in his heart, Ye Qing's mood eased a little. Hannah was right. She was an arms dealer in those war-torn countries and could only be a second-hand dealer.
This is not impossible to produce. To put it bluntly, it is much more difficult to produce weapons there than the Federation. But the problem is also obvious. Take the most popular AK in those war-torn areas as an example.
People happily accept the printing of Russian ak and bullets, and people who print Chinese are also welcome. But if they print Arabic ak or bullets, I believe me, except for those who are really poor and have a little extra money, no one will choose to print Arabic weapons or bullets.
The reason is also very simple, quality problems. A weak industrial foundation, insufficient number of professional workers, and even management systems, quality control standards are all a mess. If you make something, it is even more likely to give yourself a blow-up before killing someone.
It is now 2021, and it has been thirty years since the golden age of the Second Doctor and the International Breaking Master. Now, when you become a Second Doctor, you want to make a lot of money in addition to being frightened and afraid? You can’t just eat it!
In addition to growing up in a stable environment and suddenly becoming a war-torn country, this is also an important reason why Ye Qing chose to come to the federal development.
Similarly, this is also the reason why Ye Qing didn't directly refuse when he heard Hannah say that their family needed PMC business.
Because he can't leave behind the industry here. If he can develop stably in the federal government, Ye Qing believes that it will not take ten years and he will definitely be able to compete with an old company like Colt.
"The president's term change...you mean?"
