Chapter 464: Unloading

The ship departed from the Port of Kuwait, which is very close to the Port of Basra. It can be regarded as departing directly from the port of call, and then loading the arms at the Dubai Port.

After staying in Dubai Port for two days, I loaded up a ship full of ammunition and set off again, heading towards Port Sudan.

Highlights had to pay four million dollars in freight for the entire voyage.

Whether the freight is high depends on what kind of goods are being transported. If it is bulk goods such as crude oil, then the four million U.S. dollars paid by Gao Guang is a sky-high price, and someone has stabbed him to death.

But if the shipment is all arms, then four million US dollars can only be said to be a reasonable price. It is definitely expensive, but it is not too expensive.

Apart from the expensive freight, this flight was so smooth that there is nothing to say about it.

This was never the last time the King's Defense had gathered so many people, because the King's Defense had never had such a large gathering of people. Except for Fang Zhenwu's absence, there was no shortage of anyone else.

"Dog Master"

When Gao Guang disembarked as a crew member, the first person to greet him was Zhao Qian, and standing next to Zhao Qian was Langley. The armed escorts sent by Alpha 5 Company were all people who had cooperated in South Africa, and Langley was still the team leader. .

Alpha Company was able to receive Gao Guang's mission. In addition to his own good performance, the personal relationship between Gao Guang and Zhao Qian was also an important factor. Due to emotions and reasons, Zhao Qian had to fool the deputy team leader Dangdang no matter what, and took the responsibility of this mission The commission will be mentioned later.

I have to say that Chinese people must know etiquette, and this title is full of kindness.

Gao Guang shook hands with Zhao Qian and said with a smile on his face, "Brother Zhao, long time no see."

After greeting those close to him first, Gao Guang then extended his hand to Langley and said with a smile, "We meet again. I'm very happy to be able to cooperate with you."

Langley hugged Gao Guang very warmly, and then he said in slightly accented Chinese:

"Hello Mr. Gou, I'm really happy to be able to cooperate."

I have never been to Sudan, and my impression seems to be that the security in Sudan is pretty good, but Langley and Zhao Qian came directly to the dock with rifles and body armor.

Gao Guang looked back and saw that there were at least a dozen people fully armed waiting for him, but he made it clear on the way that these dozen people were not enough.

Friendship is friendship, business is business, Gao Guang glanced back, and then said, "Is everyone here?"

"Each container truck will be escorted by one or two armed guards. You have a total of fifty-six trucks. We have divided sixty people into these trucks."

After finishing speaking, Langley looked at the subordinates in front of him and said, "These people are our mobile troops. They are divided into four parts and escorted in separate cars in front of and behind the convoy."

The arrangements are quite good, and the number of people is sufficient, but the most important thing now is not the escort, but how to unload the cargo and start shipping it.

Leon had already disembarked. He walked to one side and was alone with a black man wearing a green vest and a hard hat, muttering something next to him. Then he took out a wad of banknotes and stuffed them into an unknown member of staff. hands.

It's easy to get money wherever you go, but the person who collects the money is not the boss, he's just the staff unloading the cargo from the control tower crane.

If anything has been arranged long ago, it is impossible to contact the transportation company after arriving at the port. However, Leon had already called the local snake in Port Sudan and agreed to wait at the dock, but now It seems that the pick-up person here is still late.

Even being late for getting money is worthy of being a sultan.

A car drove over and stopped in front of Leon, and then three people got out of the car. All three of them had Arab faces. This was normal, because Arabs accounted for 70% of Sudan's population.

Fortunately, it didn't take too long. Leon and a few Arabs murmured for a while, and then Leon waved to the highlight and said, "Bring over the gifts we prepared."

Gao Guang waved towards the boat, and then Francisco couldn't hold himself back anymore and immediately walked out. Mike followed behind with a handbag. Behind Mike was Paul, who also held a travel bag. Bag, full of money.

John and Patrick held the line at the end, and followed them off the boat with solemn faces.

The momentum was full, but when Yuanzheng and Carlos finally disembarked, it seemed that the combat power of the king's defense had been lowered. The image of the two of them as pure technicians really had no deterrent effect.

Gao Guang followed. At this time, it was just a pure transaction. The key was that Leon had no intention of introducing each other.

Leon still has his own plans, and he still wants to keep the communication lines he opened up in his hands, so that he can share the money as Gao Guang's partner instead of taking a commission from Gao Guang.

Gao Guang must have understood Leon's little thoughts, and he also respected Leon's little calculation, so he had no intention of getting acquainted with the people on the ground. He just pointed at the ground, and then Mike and the others put the two bags of money on on the ground.

Leon muttered something in Arabic, and an Arab in a T-shirt leaned over and opened a travel bag, checked the banknotes inside, and then nodded to Leon.

The other bag was opened by Leon himself. This bag had obviously more money. He muttered a few words to an Arab who had obviously the highest status, and then stood up and left the money bag.

The two parties shook hands, and then the two bags were taken into the car with the door open. The three Arabs glanced at Gao Guang, then turned around and got in the car, and immediately left the dock.

Two bags of money, one bag is 1.6 million US dollars, which is the freight paid, which is the freight for 56 container trucks to go back and forth at least three times. This price is very fair. As I said before, whether the freight is expensive or not depends on what is being transported.

Another bag of money is a full 1 million US dollars, which is the toll, which allows the goods to be unloaded and loaded in Port Sudan, and to pass through Sudan without hindrance.

Once the other party receives this money, they can unload the goods, and they can also unload the goods first.

"There are not many container trucks in Sudan, so I have booked all the container trucks of my friend's transportation company."

With a hint of seeking credit, Leon said lightly, "I can do the business of the People's Array because of them. Others may not be able to find these resources."

Gao Guang smiled and nodded, saying, "Then unload the goods."

Then it is time for normal unloading, which will take some time. According to Leon's estimation, at least one container can hold about 27 tons of goods, which is 900 boxes of bullets, and 56 vehicles can transport a maximum of 50,400 boxes of bullets at a time. 50,400 boxes, that is, 75.6 million rounds of bullets.

Just the bullets, 56 container trucks have to be transported three times, not to mention grenades, artillery shells and large-caliber bullets.

This is the case with bulk arms business. Shipping by ship, calculated by tons, this freight must account for the bulk of the cost.

The cost of armed escort is not low either. For this trip with a total value of more than 300 million US dollars, Gao Guang paid at least 2 million US dollars in commission.

Alpha only gave this quote because the road is easy to travel and there is no threat. So don't think it's expensive. This is the price of private force. If the War Group were to do the same job, the two million would have to be at least three times higher.

Now it's the last minute. The whole ship has been delivered. It will take at least a week. If there is a slight delay on the road, it will take ten days or more.

And Gao Guang and his men are definitely not escorting the goods and rushing slowly. Escorting is Zhao Qian's job. What is the purpose of Gao Guang pulling the King's Defense over and fully armed? Isn't it just to collect debts?

The goods have arrived at the port and have started to be unloaded and transported. So no matter whether the goods have been delivered to the land or not, Gao Guang has to collect half of the payment first, because this is how you do business with people who don't have a good reputation. It's impossible to pay on delivery. Not collecting the full payment in advance is very face-saving.

I just hope that the next land journey will be as smooth as on the sea.
