Firepower is king

This time Gao Guang came to Dubai alone, because he wanted to see Tom, not to rob someone, nor to fight, but to discuss a business, and it was a secret business.

It was very hot in Dubai, so hot that I couldn't breathe. It was the first time that Gao Guang saw how powerful the weather was with a temperature of nearly 50 degrees Celsius and a humidity of over 90%.

But the discomfort only lasts for a while, because Dubai is not Baghdad. It can be fully air-conditioned here. As long as you have money, no matter how hot the weather is, it will not affect the highlights.

The high-gloss car was simple, and he didn't even carry a suitcase. In addition to three phones, he also carried a wallet. But strangely, in Dubai, he didn't feel uneasy without a gun.

After knocking on the door, they opened it quickly. Tom glanced outside and found that Gao Guang was alone, and then gave way to the door.

The room was large and air-conditioned. Gao Guang breathed a sigh of relief and said, "This place is hotter than Baghdad. What time did you arrive?"

"It's all very hot, but it's even more uncomfortable here."

It's a five-star hotel, but it's not a suite. Tom pointed to the chair in front of the floor-to-ceiling window and said, "Sit down."

Gao Guang sat down, and Tom made a silent gesture towards Gao Guang, then he took out a phone and whispered: "Hey, Mad Dog is here, okay."

After hanging up the phone, Tom sat opposite Gao Guang, but Gao Guang asked curiously: "Who to call? Is anyone else coming?"

Tom put a mobile phone on the round table and whispered: "Now let's talk about this business. You know that this business needs to bring in many people to cooperate, which means that many people have to share the money. What is the minimum you can accept?" ”

"I...Thirty percent!"

According to the 30/70 principle taught by Smith, Gao Guang feels that 30% is reasonable.

But Tom shook his head, and then he said seriously: "Thirty percent? Stop dreaming. It would be good for the three of us to get three percent together. We have to show our respective bottom lines first. If we can't reach an agreement at this step, then There is no need to do this transaction.”

Gao Guang said without hesitation: "Making money from this transaction is secondary. The important thing is that I can destroy Morris's business, so it's okay for me to get a little less money, but it's not appropriate if I can only work in vain." Bar."

Tom looked at the highlight and said, "Can you get the ammunition destruction contract from Dubai?"

"cannot."

"I can't either, but I know who can take over the business, but I must understand one thing. Once this thing starts to take off and we start to introduce powerful people into this business, we can only succeed and cannot fail. Also, He must have the final say on how much money he can make.”

Tom spread his hands and said, "So you have to understand your situation first, and you have to think about whether we should do this or not."

No wonder we don’t know how big the business is yet, so we have to discuss how to divide it first, because it’s easy to invite the gods but hard to give them away. Once strong support is invited, it’s not so easy to send it away easily.

Gao Guang fell into deep thought, because he could give up this business and find arms from other places and sell them to the Tiren Formation.

Once this business in Dubai is completed, it is very likely that the wallet of the Tirenzhen will be emptied. By then, the market that Gao Guang has finally conquered will be saturated, and he has not yet been able to benefit from this transaction. Make money.

A business that was 100% profitable, but because he wanted to destroy Morris' good deeds, he ended up not making any money. This was hurting others but not benefiting himself.

Gao Guang thought for a long time, and finally said in distress: "How much money can you make from this business? And then, who are you looking for? Who has such a big appetite that he can only let us drink soup?"

Tom said seriously: "After receiving your call, I began to investigate the entire interest chain and possible benefits. I am not an arms dealer, and you, an arms dealer, have just changed careers, but Morris is a long-established arms dealer. , since he comes to Dubai, he must be very confident about winning this business. "

"Yes, that's true."

"If we want to snatch the business from Morris, we have to have a stronger backend than him to put pressure on Dubai, so this person's status is too low. We have to open up many joints, so there are inevitably people involved, and they have big backgrounds. , there are many people, do you think

Can I do this if I have less money? "

Tom finished speaking, and then he said with a serious face: "So I have to ask clearly, how much can you make in this transaction, how much can we take out, and how much can be left in the end. If it is suitable, we can do it. If it is not suitable, we can do it." , then break up as soon as possible and just pretend that this opportunity does not exist. "

Gao Guang thought for a while and whispered: "This business is very profitable, twice the normal shipping price and ten times the cost price."

"I don't know what's going on in the arms market, so you just talk about profits."

Gao Guang thought for a while and said: "According to the list I know now, this batch of goods can be sold for 100 million, but I have already received a deposit of 50 million and spent it, so at most there is only 50 million left." The profits can be divided.”

Tom whispered: "The UAE has to pay. Don't forget, they spend money to destroy expired ammunition. I don't know the previous destruction cost, but the money should not be very small."

You don't have to pay a penny for this batch of arms, and you can still give money back. If this business doesn't rely on connections, then what else does it rely on?

Gao Guang smiled bitterly and said: "The key is whether 50 million can satisfy the boss, and how much more can we get?"

Tom said very seriously: "Can't we raise the price again? It's okay to sell for 200 million. It's a deal of less than 100 million. How can I bring people in? Man, this is different from what we used to do. This business needs to be done It must be a big deal. We care about the small things, but the big guys don’t like it.”

"The price cannot be raised any more. This price has reached its peak, unless there are more goods."

Tom said seriously: "Can you tell me exactly who the buyer is?"

Gao Guang said without hesitation: "If it were anyone else, I certainly wouldn't be able to tell you, but I have nothing to hide from you. The buyer is the Ethiopian Tiren Formation."

"Oh...they have money?"

"I have money. I have already paid a deposit of 50 million." After answering Tom's question, Gao Guang said: "Can you tell me who you plan to bring in?"

"Well, the boss of the CIA's Middle East office and someone from the Pentagon must be involved, someone who can suppress Morris' backstage."

Tom hesitated and said: "There is another very key figure. He has retired. It is time to reap rewards. It will be much easier to bring him in. I think more than 30 million is enough to impress him."

"This is the tripartite figure, this..."

Gao Guang was a little hesitant, but then he thought about it and asked doubtfully: "Do you think I can continue to use these connections after this business is over?"

Tom frowned and said: "Nonsense, we have finally paved the road and established the relationship, why don't we use it in the future? Why don't you use them? If there are enough benefits, why don't they use you?"

It's not impossible to exchange immediate benefits for long-term benefits in the future, but I don't know how big the appetite of the boss is as Tom mentioned.

Seeing Gao Guang still hesitating, Tom whispered: "Although our Baghdad Iron Triangle is separated now, this should not be the end of our cooperation, but the beginning of our expansion of the scope of cooperation. You are in the arms business, which is good , the arms business brings in money quickly, much faster than being a P, our Iron Triangle..."

"Wait a minute, you mean the Baghdad Iron Triangle?"

"Yes, you, me, Hank, Hank has been in Baghdad for so long, that is to say, you have provided two big businesses. We have a very happy cooperation. Of course, we are an iron triangle."

Gao Guang whispered: "The Iron Triangle shouldn't be you, Hank, and Dawson?"

Tom spread his hands and said: "Dawson is from the War Group. There are many things he can't do. There are so many rules and restrictions. Besides, all P earns are commissions. How many opportunities to make extra money are there? It’s the arms business.”

Gao Guang nodded and said: "That's right, that's right. Now that I'm switching to arms manufacturing, there will be many opportunities for us to cooperate in the future."

Tom continued: "I have to climb up. I have no money, so I have to find opportunities to make money. Hank has been in Afghanistan for a long time, and there are no opportunities to make money in that shabby place. He is very distressed. You have to change careers now." If you are an arms dealer, you have to take a long-term view. We started to build a network, and we brought more people in. We cooperated with China and everyone got what they needed. Isn’t this good?

. "

Calm down, stay calm, don't be fooled by Tom's drawings.

It would not necessarily be a good thing to be tied to death with them. Americans are also the masters of turning their backs and disowning others. Everything must be done in moderation and cooperation is allowed, but they cannot be tied to death.

Gao Guang thought for a while and said: "Let's talk about this transaction. We can cooperate, and I don't want a penny of profit, but I have a condition."

"What conditions?"

"I have to kill Maurice."

Tom smiled helplessly and said, "What are you thinking about? Is this a condition we can offer?"

Seeing that Gao Guang was silent and hesitant, Tom whispered: "Tell me honestly, how much goods can the buyer eat?"

"What do you want to do?"

Tom whispered: "Since we want to do this business, we have to bring in a lot of people, so why not bring more people into the water? Bring in people from the military here in Dubai, since they want to destroy 60 million rounds of ammunition , then why can't it be 160 million? Man, it depends on how much your buyer can eat. If you supply him with enough goods at one time, wouldn't the business be big enough? "

Gao Guang took a breath of air and said, "You are cruel!"

"Don't forget that this is the Emirates. They lack everything except money, and their arsenal is too small." Tom smiled and said: "I will show my trump card, and you will show your trump card, man, that's it." A deal depends on whether your buyer’s appetite is big enough.”

"Let me ask!"

Gao Guang took out his mobile phone and said: "You, me, and Hank, as long as we can leave enough profit for the three of us, this business will be done. If the profit margin is not enough..."

Tom shrugged: "I just came to Dubai to relax."

Gao Guang immediately dialed the number. He called Leon and put the phone on speakerphone.

After Leon was connected, Gao Guang said directly: "I have found a large number of sources of goods. You should contact the Tiren Formation immediately and ask them how much money they can provide. As long as the money is in place, we will supply as much goods as they want!"

Leon was very surprised and said: "Have you found the source of the goods? Is it such a large amount?"

"Don't ask these questions. Contact us right now and ask how much money the Titian Formation can offer. It's an urgent matter and we need to do it quickly."

Leon immediately said: "I'll ask right away and I'll reply later."

After hanging up the phone, Gao Guang looked at Tom and said, "We'll just wait here for the news. If it works, we'll do it. If it doesn't, we'll forget it."

Tom took a breath and said: "I didn't expect that your buyer was the Meng Zhen. Man, you give me a chance to make money, and I will pave the way for you. If you do a good job, Hank can move too. Let's make a move on the Baghdad Railway." The triangle must become the Iron Triangle of the Middle East in the future.”

"Look further and have a bigger picture. Why not be the Iron Triangle of the World?"

Tom laughed loudly and said: "Then I have to get promoted to a higher level. In the Middle East... this stage is too small, hahaha."

The two sat and waited in anticipation. About half an hour later, Leon called back.

Gao Guang turned on the speakerphone directly and heard Leon whisper: "Boss, I have just negotiated with the People's Liberation Army. After repeated communication, they ensured that they can come up with 286 million U.S. dollars. Jilawotu specially He came to confirm with me in person, and he showed me the deposit amount in the offshore account. Yes, it can be settled with money that can be settled at any time. "

"okay, got it."

Gao Guang hung up the phone and looked at Tom.

Tom raised his eyebrows and said, "Then...I'll start contacting you?"

Whether this is the final decision or not, Gao Guang needs to think about it.

With the help of the wisdom of the ancients, the Thirty-Six Strategies, Sun Tzu's Art of War seems to be of little use.

So here’s a little older wisdom.

It started with the help of Smith, but now that it wants to be independent and self-reliant, it is to change its dependent status into independent self-reliance. This is a change.

Gao Guang remembered a sentence in the Book of Changes.

An adult becomes a tiger, a gentleman becomes a leopard, and a villain becomes a villain.

It's time to make some changes and pave your own path.

Gao Guang took a breath and said: "Call, recruit people and let's do it!"
