Chapter 1489 Two Heads Make Money
(I'm so busy at the end of the year, I can only write 4000 words, I feel so depressed that I want to cry!)
"No problem, but I can only guarantee the first-hand transaction. If the buyer changes hands again, I can't supervise it."
Damien was a little surprised by Yang Cheng's decisiveness, but thinking of her old friend's evaluation of this young man, everything seemed reasonable again.
. . .
Two days ago, Burns invited Damian to his home as a guest, and satiated Damian's stomach with a meal of soul food that may seem a bit weird to outsiders.
Although Damien is a native white American, she has a unique interest in black food, because when she served in the army, she had many black comrades in arms and often lived with them. Over time, she got used to black food Every once in a while, I have to recall the taste, that taste that is hard to eat.
Black people eat food not for taste, but for soul!
To feel the charm of the food itself from the heart.
Well, I can't make it up anymore, it's actually a sequelae of the battlefield!
In any case, during the meal, Burns introduced Yang Cheng to Damian emphatically, which also made Damian have a deeper impression of Yang Cheng.
When I saw it today, it was indeed the case, fully worthy of the evaluation of my old friend!
Courageous, not lacking in courage, greedy yet cautious and terrifying, if you have to describe it once, it is cunning, comparable to a fox's cunning, slippery, but he can always get the prey.
However, this is only the first condition. No matter how you say it, Damian is doing it for work, and it is impossible to give up tens of millions of dollars in profits easily.
So after Yang Cheng agreed to the conditions, he said again, "Also, we have a batch of M1A2 main battle tanks in our hands."
Yang Cheng's brows twitched together again, what is this for?
Damien paused and said, "It would be great if you could sell it to the Saudis."
Sell to Saudi Arabia? Yang Cheng's eyes widened, Damien, what does this mean? No, what are the people behind Damian trying to do?
Create conflicts?
This is quite understandable. Creating friction and imbalance is the best "excuse" for the United States to sell weapons.
For example, in the 1970s, the United States exported a series of state-of-the-art weapons to Iran, including the F14, which greatly increased its military strength. This made Iran’s old enemy, Saudi Arabia, immediately unable to sit still, and immediately imported a large number of American weapons. largest benefactor;
In the 1980s, the United States first acquiesced in launching the Iran-Iraq War with Uncle Sa, and later turned to support Iran to withstand Saddam’s assault. This war lasted for 10 years, and both sides spent huge sums of dollars to buy massive arms;
The Gulf War in the 1990s was able to oust Uncle Sa from power at once, but it raised the self-respect of the bandits, which forced neighboring countries to tightly embrace the thighs of the US military.
All kinds of routines are amazing and amazing, including the current situation, just about to sell to Qatar a batch of aerial killers that can carry bombs to the hinterland of Saudi Arabia at a high price, and then sell them to land beasts on the border of Saudi Chen Bing. You know, some time ago, the United States joined hands with Saudi Arabia to label Qatar as a state sponsor of terrorism.
What is the difference between this TM and some bad lawyers eating the plaintiff and the defendant?
Making money at both ends, the unlucky one is still the victim!
Of course, judging from Damian's attitude, the Americans are very shrewd in their tactics. It seems that they are not going to start with official channels, but sell them to the two countries through private channels. If something goes wrong, they can push themselves out anytime, anywhere. Scapegoat!
The abacus is called a loud sound~
While Yang Cheng was secretly annoyed, he couldn't help but start to figure out how much profit the United States could get from these two arms deals, and whether he could get a piece of the pie. It's not that there is nothing wrong, and it is not necessary to use the big cake of arms!
Everyone knows that arms are the most profitable commodity in the world, bar none.
The United States is preparing to sell F15 fighter jets to Qatar,
The cost does not exceed 30 million U.S. dollars, but the selling price exceeds 300 million U.S. dollars. If it is converted into the current oil price, it will take more than 6 million barrels of oil to exchange for an aircraft;
And what about the M1A2 main station tank that is going to be sold to Saudi Arabia? According to Yang Cheng's understanding, the price for the US military's own use is no more than 5 million US dollars, and it will cost at least twice as much to sell it to Saudi Arabia.
Isn't such a profit margin more profitable than the hard work of infrastructure construction?
With the temptation of this delicious cake, Congress has always maintained the highest enthusiasm and motivation for all proposals that may sell weapons.
A good government of a country, simply turned into a weapons salesman, or the one with the most outstanding performance, where can I justify it?
Still the same sentence, in order to sell weapons, if there are no conflicts, create conflicts, and if there is no war, create wars. After the war is over, a batch of second-hand weapons will naturally be eliminated. It doesn't matter who they sell to, even if it is the previous opponent?
Just like the Iraq war more than 10 years ago, the U.S. military disbanded all the troops that Uncle Sa worked so hard to build up. Most of the original weapons were eliminated, and then the newly formed Iraqi ZF army was required to import U.S. troops at a high price. Using the remaining second-hand goods is equivalent to slapping you in the face and reselling you a bottle of safflower oil. If you can do this business, they deserve to make money, who made them thick-skinned.
Of course, this behavior directly led to an unprecedented abundance of extremist militants and weapons in Iraq, and also provided a springboard for the birth of an extremist organization.
But the Americans don't care, anyway, the money is in hand, it's better for you to continue to make chaos, only the chaos can continue to make more money.
Today it sold F35 to Israel, and tomorrow it sold F16 to the United Arab Emirates. Yesterday, it signed a big order for tanks with the Iraqi ZF. The day after tomorrow, it sold anti-tank missiles to the Kurds. An arms salesman was appointed to sign a large arms sales order.
Of course, the ZF can only stand out on the bright side. In order to maintain a good image of a "peace envoy", there are a lot of "dirty tasks" that they are inconvenient to do.
This creates room for arms dealers, but if you want to sell weapons from the US military, you must obey the orders of the US, so the US never minds that someone is eyeing the cake of arms, anyway, they will always eat the big ones!
As for whether the weapons are sold, whether they are sold to a friendly government or sold to armed factions secretly supported by the United States, or even hostile elements, it doesn't matter, and they don't care about the use of these weapons, even if they are used Massacre civilians, they only care about whether the dollar goes into their pockets.
Therefore, when Yang Cheng showed signs of getting involved, he directly sent Damien, the person in charge of Middle East affairs with great energy, to contact her, indirectly expressing her optimism for Yang Cheng.
Anyway, there are enough arms dealers in the United States in the Middle East, and Yang Cheng is not bad. From Boeing Lockheed Martin to small private arms dealers, they have all set up offices. Their business is booming and their energy is amazing. On the contrary, it will further expand the cake, and the United States will earn more, so they are eager for Yang Cheng to come in, so how can they object?
It's just that everyone has an ID card, so you can't come in as soon as you say it, and if you are asked to do a little thing, it's considered a nomination certificate, isn't it an exaggeration?
