Doomsday Super Merchant

Chapter 294 Arms Dealer

Sufficient cement ensured that the second front could be constructed smoothly.

The entire chamber of commerce has concentrated all the large-scale construction machinery and has nearly 300,000 more to start work at the same time. In addition, the quality does not need to be very high. It only needs to not be overwhelmed by zombies. In this way, the progress will naturally be

Super speed.

After several days, the gathering of zombies finally reached an astonishing number of more than 30 million, becoming even more massive than the first time.

The Chamber of Commerce is not nervous about this, and the ammunition in reserve is enough to neutralize their offensive this time. In such an endless wasteland, they have nowhere to hide, and they are actively attacking. For the Chamber of Commerce, they are completely like a living target.

.Their only contribution may be to consume the Chamber of Commerce's ammunition. They pose no threat and cannot even break through the first line of defense.

After working as a porter for several days, I finally got rid of the countless cements, but this is not over yet, the ammunition still needs to be dealt with.

Benefiting from the impact of this crazy shopping spree, the price of cement in the entire S city and surrounding cities began to rise. At the same time, the cement sector of the entire stock market strengthened crazily. This connection is indeed a pity for Zhou Yuanqiang. If he knows a little about the stock market

, or speculators, you can take this opportunity to make a lot of money, and at least earn back half of the money you spent on purchasing cement.

As soon as the domestic cement matter was settled, Zhou Yuanqiang didn't even say hello to his family, and hurriedly left the country again, with the target being Yemen.

As one of the countries with the most active arms trade in the Middle East, the problems in Yemen are also very complicated. The rate of people owning guns is the highest in the world. Here, you can see people carrying guns on the streets everywhere. The country

It is expressly forbidden to bring guns on the streets, but generally the police will not care about this. There are legal weapons stores where you can easily buy the guns you like.

Religious, tribal, and ethnic issues trouble not only other African countries, but Yemen is also trapped in these three problems at the same time.

Fortunately, Yemen's national power is unified, and although the society is turbulent, at least it is not like Somalia, where there are areas fighting almost every day. Yemen's geographical location also determines that they have become a gateway to the Middle East, and arms transactions are very common.

Active, a large number of arms dealers gather here.

Many illegal organizations, armed forces, and poor countries purchase weapons in Yemen, and the entire country is almost synonymous with arsenals.

When Zhou Yuanqiang arrived in Yemen, he was indeed a little surprised. Compared with domestic gun ownership, which is at least a few years old, this is a completely free country for guns. You can even see someone carrying a gun on his back.

The people from AK47 were chatting with the local police and garrison. The streets were full of people with golden bullet chains around their waists. It seemed that guns and bullets had become a kind of jewelry here.

Yemen also has its own unspoken rules. Generally, people rarely shoot, kill or fight in the street. To resolve personal grievances, tribes usually mediate. The seemingly primitive unspoken rules are one of the factors that ensure the stability of Yemen.

As a result, tribes have a very prominent position in Yemen, and some local governments need to respect the opinions of tribes.

After simply putting on makeup so that no one would recognize his true face, Zhou Yuanqiang walked down the street and soon came to a luxuriously decorated weapons store.

The arms trade here has reached the point of being open and above board. However, on the surface, they usually trade some light weapons, such as heavy weapons, which are strictly prohibited by Yemen. Therefore, these heavy weapons are traded secretly. Every weapons store

, like a point of contact.

Zhou Yuanqiang walked in. The marble floor was shining and several crystal chandeliers were placed in the lobby. It was as if he had entered a hotel instead of a weapons store.

There are several rows of counters inside, on which are placed a large number of pistols, rifles and a series of light weapons. Bullets of different calibers are all arranged. Antique, latest and rare guns can be seen here.

.It can be called an encyclopedia-like weapons store.

The most eye-catching thing is that the walls around the lobby are covered with AK47s with red wooden supports, at least hundreds of them.

When the young Yemeni salesman saw a customer coming to his door, he immediately greeted him enthusiastically. In the past few years, he did not know how many foreign tourists he had received, and how many private or small groups of people had visited him.

They promoted various exquisite weapons in the weapons store.

"Hello, how can I help you?"

He spoke some localized English, but it was not unpleasant or incomprehensible. A very professional young man, before Zhou Yuanqiang could speak, he already introduced the pocket pistol on the counter and said: "These

The pistol is very beautifully made and is like a work of art. More importantly, you don’t have to worry about customs issues with this pistol. We allow you to take the gun out of the country.”

If it were any other tourist, he would have been tempted to hear that this kind of pistol could be taken out of customs. Unfortunately, Zhou Yuanqiang really had no interest in these. He said: "Is your Mr. Berard here? I have

You need to talk to him about the matter."

The sales guy was startled for a moment, looked at Zhou Yuanqiang, and finally said: "Do you have an appointment?"

Zhou Yuanqiang smiled and said, "You can tell him that I was introduced by Reis from Los Angeles. I think Reis must have mentioned me."

"Wait a moment, I'll ask the boss for instructions."

Not long after, a hearty laughter came from the second floor. A man with brown hair, Berard, came down the stairs, looked at Zhou Yuanqiang for a while, and said enthusiastically: "Are you Zhou? Reiss

He is my buddy for many years. I have heard him mention you a long time ago. I just ended the call with him. It is a great honor to meet you!"

Zhou Yuanqiang gave the other party a hug and said, "I'm glad to see you too, Mr. Berard."

The two of them greeted each other politely, then went up to the second floor and sat down in Berard's office.

"Red wine or tea?" Berard picked up the wine and tea from the bookcase, shook it at Zhou Yuanqiang, and said: "You also know that the situation in Yemen is very bad. Of course, we people will not show up easily. Competition among peers

, it’s very intense, and sometimes there are conflicts.”

Of course Zhou Yuanqiang understood this, and he said: "Mr. Berard, I can completely understand this. Also, just give me red wine."

After pouring a glass of red wine for Zhou Yuanqiang, Berard sat back on the office chair and said, "I heard from Reiss that you need my help? You also know that I am only familiar with the arms industry, and I can't do anything else.

"Zhou Yuanqiang also drank a little. After taking a few sips of red wine, he said: "I'm looking for you just because of the arms matter."

Berard became interested, "Oh? As long as you mention arms, I think you have found the right person. Reis has been my buddy for many years, and he knows me best."

Zhou Yuanqiang was not polite. He handed the list of things he needed from his pocket to Berard and said, "You take a look at it first. If there are no problems, we can continue talking."

The list was listed, mainly artillery shells, as well as landmines, rockets, and aerial bombs. Zhou Yuanqiang also hoped to have missiles, but this seemed too difficult, so in the end it was not included in the list.

In Zhou Yuanqiang's view, as long as there are enough artillery shells, even without an air force, zombies can be torn apart by carpet bombing.

The artillery group had only been formed recently, and the reserve of artillery shells was seriously insufficient. What he needed to do now was to purchase enough artillery shells to use for fire suppression.

Artillery shells all over the world are of different calibers, and generally the artillery shells are universal. When the Chamber of Commerce Arsenal designed the artillery, it was also designed according to the size of previous artillery, and it can fire all kinds of universal artillery shells. In order to reduce logistics

At the same time, the pressure also brought convenience to Zhou Yuanqiang.

The arsenal will soon be unable to produce artillery shells quickly. Even if they purchase a batch from modern sources, they are universal and can be used.

At first, Berard really didn't pay much attention to the list in his hand, but after he took a few glances, he was suddenly shocked. He looked at Zhou Yuanqiang and said, "You, aren't you kidding me?"

Zhou Yuanqiang purchased 3 million artillery shells of various calibers, 1.5 million landmines, 500,000 rockets, and 3 million aerial bombs. It was a very large ammunition order. From Berard's point of view, it was so huge.

The ammunition base is definitely the largest arms and ammunition order since World War II. Yes, it is definitely the largest, no one.

"Of course, do you think I came all the way to find you just to play a joke on you?"

Of course, Zhou Yuanqiang understands that this is too shocking, but he has no choice. At least this large amount of ammunition can help the Chamber of Commerce to survive this crisis safely. Of course, the two walls can stop the zombie frenzy and provide the Chamber of Commerce with

Gain time. But Zhou Yuanqiang still believes that the huge ammunition base can not only protect the present, but also protect the future.

This is an order of more than 1.5 billion U.S. dollars, which is comparable to the order of a country.

Berard looked at the young man in front of him with some seriousness. He looked a bit like a mixed race, and should have the characteristics of both the East and the West. The problem is that such a large arms deal is definitely not a purchase by an individual or organization. The only explanation is,

It's a country. But what country would need such a huge base of artillery shells?

To be honest, ever since he started working in the arms business, even though there have been many conflicts in the Middle East, Berard still couldn't believe it when he encountered such a huge amount of ammunition.

"It's impossible for me to deliver this much ammunition."

Originally, he wanted to brag about how powerful he was and where he ranked among arms dealers, but facing this list, Berard felt powerless. Part of his previous business was based on his own manufacturing.

Some of the goods shipped from the factory are manufactured by other arsenals.

What's more, such a large ammunition base will definitely attract the attention of the intelligence centers of some countries, making transactions very troublesome.

Zhou Yuanqiang had long expected that Berard would not be able to eat it alone. He said: "The time I need to deliver the goods is only half a month. I don't introduce anyone to manufacture and produce. I only need the goods. Mr. Berard

, you should understand what I mean, you can act as my agent for this business, and I will give you half of the purchase price as compensation."

The purchase payment of 1.5 billion was half achieved at 75 million, an amount that Berard could not deny.

Of course Berard was tempted. He sat back quietly on his chair and thought carefully. He had to think clearly about his interpersonal relationships and how to arrange this order so that he could deliver the goods within half a month. Although

There is no legal protection for underground arms dealers, but they do have their own rules. As long as you are involved in this business, you must abide by it. Otherwise, if your reputation is bad, you will not want to continue to do so.

Moreover, among the organizational teams that can carry out arms procurement, in this peaceful world, which one is not a desperado? No matter how powerful the arms dealers are, most of them are just intermediaries. If they conflict with them, the arms dealers will definitely suffer.

"Is half a month too short?"

Berard tapped the table gently. If the time is one month, there will be no problem at all. But in half a month, excluding the time for contact and negotiation, as well as the time for transportation, only about ten days are actually used for manufacturing and production.

.This means that if you want to deliver goods as scheduled, you must cooperate with more arms dealers.

Zhou Yuanqiang didn't want time to be so tight, but the question was, would the zombies give him time?

As long as Zhou Yuanqiang thinks of the reconnaissance pictures handed over to him by the intelligence department, and the countless zombies below have been assembled, Zhou Yuanqiang has a headache. The second offensive, with more than 30 million zombies, makes people understand what a human wave is and what a collective is.

Impact. Although the second wave of offensive was dispersed by the full deployment of the Air Force, the Air Force's ammunition had basically been consumed.

As long as the third wave of offensive is formed, they can directly face the first front line in the wasteland, and the fourth wave can destroy the entire front line and rush towards the second front line that has not yet been established.

This kind of time, half a month is not a long period of time, it is enough for the zombies to form a third wave of offensive.

"Mr. Berard, there is no way in terms of time." Zhou Yuanqiang drank the red wine in his hand and said: "If the cooperation goes well, I think this is just the beginning of our cooperation, and there will be more places to cooperate in the future. Now

This is an order that is not very difficult, so there should be no problem, right?"

Berard nodded. Compared with artillery shells that have no technical content, you said that you want to get yourself an F-22. Of course it is impossible. The Yankees don't have a few of them. How could you see it on the black market? Like

Apache armed helicopters, etc., these extremely dazzling weapons are almost non-existent on the black market.

A country's management system and large-scale weapons like this have a set of plans. Suddenly one of them disappears. This kind of thing almost never happens in reality.

What's more, such fighter weapons are too expensive. Don't look at it. An Apache fully armed only costs 35 million US dollars. But that refers to transactions between countries. In the black market, its

The price is not cheap, but much more expensive. If you don’t have 50 million US dollars, you don’t even expect to be able to buy it.

But it is absolutely impossible for someone with 50 million US dollars to spend this money to buy an Apache helicopter gunship. It would be more cost-effective to equip several sets of rocket launchers, each of which only costs a few thousand US dollars.

In real terms, it seems that these are worth tens of millions of dollars, but after their profits have changed hands several times, the intermediary can earn only a small amount of money. Even though the profit margin of ammunition is very low, it cannot support the large quantity.

.Just looking at Zhou Yuanqiang’s orders, various types of artillery shells cost nearly 10 million, and the profits are very astonishing.

"I can take this order, but for transportation issues, I can only guarantee that there will be no problems within Yemen. We have no ability to leave Yemen. After all, we are just a group of intermediary arms dealers." The quantity is still too large, Berard said.

There is no guarantee. Since the other party has such great ability to place such a huge order, they should have their own way to solve the transportation problem.

Zhou Yuanqiang didn't care, and said: "Leave the transportation problem to my side to solve. You just need to load the ship and rely on the place designated by me when the time comes."

"One more thing, we only accept cash payments. You have to know that in our line of business, bank accounts are not safe and it is easy to get your account locked."

From Berard's point of view, this condition is not easy to deal with. Thinking about 1.5 billion US dollars in cash can make people's scalp numb. If people knew that someone was transporting 1.5 billion cash, the whole of Yemen would definitely not be turned upside down? This

The conditions are indeed difficult.

Who knows that Zhou Yuanqiang just blinked and said: "No problem, we will deliver the goods and pay the money when the time comes. To give you peace of mind, I can pay 50 million US dollars in advance. I believe that Mr. Berard, as a friend of Reis,

I still have this bit of credibility.”

Berard never expected that the other party would agree so simply, which caused him to be startled for a moment before he nodded mechanically and said: "Okay, thank you very much for your trust. I believe our cooperation will definitely be long-term."

After discussing a series of transaction issues, Zhou Yuanqiang left Berard's weapons store.

Zhou Yuanqiang didn't know Berard very well. When he was in Los Angeles last time, Zhou Yuanqiang asked Reis to introduce him to his arms dealers in the Middle East, so Reis recommended Berard. Afterwards, Zhou Yuanqiang also approached Reis.

DuPont asked and learned from them, which also confirmed that Berard was indeed very trustworthy and was the sixth largest arms dealer in Yemen.

Zhou Yuanqiang certainly believed DuPont's information. After all, DuPont was also a giant in the arms industry. With their strength, the information was certainly credible.
