Chapter 440: Source of Goods

If there is no tenfold profit, it doesn't deserve to be called an arms business.

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

Gao Guang has always believed that Leon has an arms dumping ground 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 purchasing channels, but he has refused to show them before. After all, these are business secrets, how can he tell others rashly.

Now that everything has been settled and the money has been collected, it is no longer appropriate for Leon to hide it.

But Leon said calmly: "We have to start looking for purchasing channels now. I used to buy arms from Kievan Rus, but the supply of goods in Kievan Rus is almost sold out. I am cooperating with you." The seller was also caught, so he had to find another source of goods.”

Gao Guang was shocked and said: "You mean 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 first find the buyers, then find the source of goods, and let the upstream suppliers solve the problem. Just transportation and loading, that’s what I did before.”

After finishing speaking, Leon exhaled and said: "Okay, let me tell the truth. I am from Kievan Rus. My hometown is in Nikolayev Oblast. Do you know the Black Sea Shipyard?"

Gao Guang and Yuan Zheng nodded at the same time, John looked confused, Carlos frowned and thought hard, but Patrick said solemnly: "The Black Sea Shipyard is the fifth largest shipyard in the former Soviet Union and the largest aircraft carrier assembly plant. It is also the largest of the Russian military. The Kuznetsov aircraft carrier was built at this factory.”

Leon said calmly: "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 a furniture factory affiliated to the shipyard."

After speaking briefly, Leon was silent for a moment, and then said in a very deep voice: "Then how did I embark on the path of an arms dealer, because...because the life was too difficult, and by chance, someone He paid me a hundred dollars a day to work as a translator, so I went, and then I found out that he bought 300 rifles for $60,000, and I felt that this business could be done. "

"Sixty thousand dollars and three hundred rifles?"

Yuanzheng was confused about this number. Leon shrugged and said, "Yes, the price he paid was high because he was just a small arms dealer, too small to be worth mentioning."

Leon continued: "I continued to hire a translator at a salary of one hundred dollars a day. My boss and I disguised the rifle as a machine part. We put a plastic bag on the outside of the box, wrote the parts on it, and then loaded the rifle into the car. He shipped it out to Poland and sold the rifle to another person for $120,000.”

Leon held out three fingers and said: "With a total profit of 60,000 yuan in three days, I know this business can be done."

Gao Guang said: "Wait, this is your entry experience, but what's the point of talking about it now?"

Leon smiled and said: "The first boss I worked with was a Polish man. He was a Polish man who purchased bulk goods from all over Kievan Rus. Do you understand? He didn't speak Russian or Uzbek. That’s why he asked me to be his translator. After 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 shipped them to Kievan Rus to provide support to Kiev. Russia versus the Russians.”

"Left hand, right hand, and finally return to Kievan Rus?"

Leon nodded and said, "Yes."

Patrick said in extreme surprise: "Kivan Rus will also be short of weapons? Does it still need support? They are the largest arms storage place in the former Soviet Union!"

"Those large and very large arsenals have been emptied out a long time ago, and there is nothing inside. So Kievan Rus is really short of arms, but those front-line troops have arms that have been issued, so they can only buy them piecemeal. "

Gao Guang said in a daze: "But haven't we been fighting all these years?"

"That's right, only in wars will there be losses. Only when there are losses can arms be sold."

Leon spread his hands and said: "Don't you understand what I mean? My army

Fire is 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 like he had gained a lot of experience and said, "Damn! It's tight in the front, but it's tight in the back!"

Leon smiled, but his smile was a little sad, and then he continued: "If you feel that purchasing in Kievan Rus is too expensive and takes too long, you can also buy it in large quantities from the Russians, but I have never found this source of goods. There are ways to get in. There are arms dealers who control it. If you can buy it from the Russians, the price is half lower than that of Kievan Rus. If you want a large quantity, well, the price can be lower, but there is a problem in dealing with the Russians. , transporting goods is more difficult.”

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

Leon continued: "There is also a third source of supply. In the Middle East, Iran can produce its own ammunition, but Iranian goods are not very good. They can be found in Syria, Iraq, Egypt, Yemen, and Jordan. A large amount of ammunition has been found, but these have been passed over and 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 purchase large quantities in the Middle East, so after all, the only country left is Kievan Rus.

No way, Gao Guang 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 really be gone. So, they will eventually have to let me go to find arms for them. 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?”
