Firepower is king

If there is no tenfold profit, it is not worthy of being called an arms business.

If there is no stable source of goods, there is no way to do arms business.

Gao Guang has always believed that Leon has an arms dumping place and an exclusive transportation line, so he must have a stable supply of goods, otherwise how can he do arms business.

Leon must have his own supply channels, but he was unwilling to show them before. After all, these are all commercial secrets. How can he tell others rashly?

Now that everything has been negotiated and the money has been received, it is not appropriate for Leon to hide it.

But Leon said calmly: "We have to start looking for the supply channel now. I used to buy arms from Kievan Rus, but the supply from Kievan Rus is almost sold out, and the seller I cooperated with was also arrested, so I have to find a new source of supply." Gao Guang was shocked and said, "So there is no supply now?" Leon spread his hands and said, "What's the matter? We can't spend money to buy a large number of arms first, and then find buyers, where to put the things, and how to keep them. So we find buyers first, then find sources of goods, and let upstream suppliers solve the problems of transportation and loading and unloading. Anyway, this is what I did before." After speaking, Leon exhaled and said, "Okay, I'll tell the truth. I'm from Kievan Rus. My hometown is in Nikolayev Oblast. Do you know the Black Sea Shipyard?" Gao Guang and Yuanzheng nodded at the same time, John was confused, Carlo Si frowned and thought hard, while Patrick said seriously: "The Black Sea Shipyard is the fifth largest shipyard in the former Soviet Union and the largest aircraft carrier assembly plant. The largest Russian aircraft carrier, the Kuznetsov, was built by this plant."

Leon said lightly: "My father is a worker at the Black Sea Shipyard, and so is my mother. In fact, I am also a worker at the Black Sea Shipyard, but I work in the furniture factory under the shipyard."

After speaking briefly, Leon was silent for a moment, and then said very deeply: "So how did I embark on the path of an arms dealer? Because... because life was too difficult, by chance, someone paid me $100 a day and asked me to be a translator, so I went, and then I found out that he used $60,000 to buy 300 rifles, and I thought this business was good."

"60,000 dollars for 300 rifles?"

Expedition to this Leon was puzzled by the number, shrugged and said, "Yes, he took a high price because he was just a small, insignificant arms dealer." Leon continued, "I continued to hire a translator at a salary of $100 a day. My boss and I disguised the rifles as machine parts, that is, put a layer of plastic bag outside the box, write the parts, and then load the rifles into the car and ship them out. When we arrived in Poland, we sold the rifles to another person for $120,000." Leon held up three fingers and said, "In three days, the total profit was 60,000. I knew this business was feasible." Gao Guang said, "Wait, this is your experience in entering the industry, but what's the point of talking about this now?" Leon smiled and said, "The first boss I followed was a Pole. He was a Polish man who bought bulk goods from all over Kievan Rus. Do you understand? He doesn't speak Russian, and he doesn't know how to do it. He can't speak Ukrainian, so he asked me to be his translator. When he found the goods, he sent them to Poland. The big boss in Poland gathered the scattered goods and sold them to Western Europe and the Americans. The Americans got the arms and then transported them to Kievan Rus to support Kievan Rus in its confrontation with the Russians. "Left hand to right hand, and finally back to Kievan Rus?" Leon nodded and said, "Yes." Patrick said in extreme surprise: "Kievan Rus will also lack weapons? Still need support? They are the largest arms storage site in the former Soviet Union!" "Those large and super-large arsenals have long been emptied out, and there is nothing inside, so Kievan Rus really lacks arms, but those front-line troops have already issued arms, so they can only be purchased in scattered quantities, concentrated and transported to Poland, and then transported in large quantities to Kievan Rus. Kievan Rus receives the arms and distributes them to the front-line troops. Gao Guang said in a daze: "But haven't we been fighting all these years?" "Yes, there will be losses in war, and only when there are losses can the arms be sold. ”

Leon spread his hands and said: "Don't you understand what I mean? My arms are mainly purchased from Kievan Rus. Now the arms market in Kievan Rus is very mature. As long as you find the right person, it is easy to get what you need. ”

Gao Guang felt that he had gained a lot of experience and said; "Damn! The front is tight, and the back is tight!"

Leon smiled, but his smile was a little sad, and then he continued: "If you think that purchasing in Kievan Rus is too expensive and time-consuming, you can also buy large quantities from the Russians, but I can't get into this source of goods. It is controlled by arms dealers. If I can buy from the Russians, the price is half lower than that of Kievan Rus. If the quantity is large, well, the price can be lower, but there is a problem with dealing with the Russians. It is more difficult to transport goods. ”

Gao Guang looked at a few people and said: "Russia, we are not familiar with it. "

Leon continued: "There is a third source of goods, the Middle East. Iran can produce its own ammunition, but Iranian goods are not very good. In Syria, Iraq, Egypt, Yemen, Jordan, you can find a large number of ammunition, but these are passed through a number of hands, so the price will be high. "

"The fourth option is the arsenals in Eastern European countries. It is convenient to purchase M43 intermediate bombs in large quantities, but other weapons will be very troublesome."

After talking about the four sources of goods, Leon finally made a summary and said: "Our most realistic and convenient source of goods is Kievan Rus, followed by Russia, provided that the channels in Russia can be opened, and the third is to go to the Middle East. For acquisitions, the last step is to go to Eastern Europe for procurement.”

The Middle East has always been one of the largest dumping grounds for Soviet-style weapons. It is not suitable to go to the Middle East for large-scale purchases, so after all, the only country left is Kievan Rus.

No way, Gaoguang found Leon. Leon started his business in Kievan Rus, so of course the source of goods he could provide was in Kievan Rus.

Gao Guang looked at Leon and said, "Then you have to go. If you don't go, who should we buy the goods from? But now there is a problem. You want to stay as a hostage. What will happen?"

Leon smiled slightly and said: "If I didn't say that I was a hostage, would the People's Liberation Army be willing to pay? Of course they won't pay. Now that they have the money, you go first, and then you won't be able to purchase arms in time. Then I can only go there myself.”

Gao Guang couldn't help but said: "You might die!"

Leon shook his head and said: "The most you can do is give me a beating. If they kill me, the 50 million will be gone. So, they have to let me go to find arms for them in the end. It doesn't matter. If you want to make money, just You have to be tough on yourself. Now let’s talk about the issue of sharing. I have sacrificed so much, how much profit can you give me?”
