Chapter 466: Conscientious Merchants
These days, everything has been smooth sailing.
God has smoothed out the bumps in Gao Guang's life, and now there is only a smooth road.
The border was passed smoothly. One car was charged one thousand dollars, and each trip was paid, regardless of whether it was a large or small car, so Gao Guang and his team left two thousand dollars and arrived in Katahumila.
Then Gao Guang and his team met Jilawotu and Kachu in Katahumila, one was the payer and the other was the middleman who came to collect the money. Just like Leon was worried about not getting paid, Kachu was also afraid that he, the middleman, would be thrown away.
Then, there was almost no tedious negotiation process. Gao Guang said that the goods had arrived at the port, and the Tirenzhen would start delivering the goods after paying half of the money, so Jilawotu immediately paid half of the money.
Kevin, who stayed in Los Angeles, had something to do. The Kings' defense either had no money or a lot of money, so Kevin had to be busy for a long time.
As for why the Tirenzhen Group gave the money without hesitation, it was because Gao Guang and his men had to stay as hostages. They would leave when the goods were delivered. If the goods could not be delivered, they could be buried here.
Then, facts proved that God favored Gao Guang.
What was delivered were hundreds of millions of bullets and millions of grenades, but delivering these things was easier than Gao Guang going to a convenience store to buy a pack of cigarettes.
For sixteen days, Gao Guang and his men stayed in Katahumila for sixteen days. Alpha 5 Company had escorted the convoy four times, basically one by one for three days, and the whole journey was smooth, without any surprises or accidents.
Gao Guang and his men only had to deliver the goods to Katahumila. After arriving here, it was the Tirenzhen Group's business.
So these days, Jilawotu woke up crying every day. Why? Because the Tirenzhen Group had no place to store them.
The usable ammunition was immediately taken away and distributed when it was in hand, but more and more ammunition that was not used temporarily was delivered after the fourth batch, and the Tirenzhen Group fell into the same dilemma as Gao Guang.
The most important thing is that there is no place to throw it. There are requirements for ammunition storage, and the Ti-Ren Faction cannot meet the requirements for storing a large amount of ammunition.
Today, the last batch of ammunition will be delivered. A batch of useless shells will be delivered together with hundreds of thousands of grenades. Why is it transported in this way? It is because they are afraid that the Ti-Ren Faction will refuse to accept them.
If you use it, you can't use it. If you throw it away, you can't bear to throw it away. If you sell it, there will be no buyer. If you put it, there is no place to put it.
When Jiravotu saw the last batch of goods parked in the suburbs waiting to be unloaded, he finally got anxious.
"We don't want these shells from Mad Dog, so you can just take them away."
"You don't have to pay. We have such a pleasant cooperation, this is a gift."
Gao Guang smiled politely, and said to Jilawotu sincerely: "You bought a lot of my goods, this is a big business, I can't just say nothing, the purchase price of these shells is tens of millions, and the selling price is hundreds of millions, but I don't want a dollar from you, I'll give it to you, no need to thank me!"
Gao Guang was very generous, but Jilawotu was really anxious. He grabbed Gao Guang's clothes and whispered: "These shells are discarded or exposed at will, which means they are ammunition for the Egyptians! We don't have any guns! There is no place to store them, and they can't be discovered by the Egyptians. I thank you for your kindness, and we have those small-caliber bullets. Thank you for your generosity, but we can't keep these shells." Gao Guang coughed twice, pointed to the container truck that was slowly unloading, and said: "You said it too late. When I told you that I would give you some gifts, why didn't you tell me in advance that you didn't want the shells? How can you buy arms without shells? "Jiravotu said with a sad face: "I didn't know you would send so many large-caliber shells. If these shells are not handled properly, they will hit us. "Gao Guang changed his face, and he said very seriously: "I think the idea of your senior leaders in the human formation is a bit problematic. If there is no cannon, then grab it from the enemy. We have a very good saying, no guns, no cannons..." "Without food and clothes, there will be enemies. We have no guns or cannons, so the enemy will make them for us. "
Giravotu even started singing, and his voice was clear and full of emotion, but after singing the two classic lines, Jirawotu immediately said: "But we can't deal with these shells now! Do you know that Ethiopia has very few 155mm artillery?"
"There are very few, you know, this batch of shells are all NATO standards, I checked, Ethiopia's artillery has no problems. "
Gao Guang was still trying to persuade Jirawotu, but soon felt that it was a waste of words, so he changed the subject and said: "You don't want the free shells, you are a bit... wasteful, if you think you don't need them for the time being, it's okay, I'll give you an idea. "
Gao Guang pointed at the cannons He whispered, "You can store these shells in different places. Just find a few villages and a few cars and throw them in a safe place. If you need cannons, I will sell them to you."
Jiravotu was stunned for a moment and said, "Sell them to us?"
"The shells are given away, but the cannons can't be given away for free, right?"
Gao Guang coughed twice, and then he said slowly, "This is what happened. I gave you these shells, and I also had some selfish motives. This is called a sales method. You have shells, and it's a waste to leave them there. Do you want to equip these shells with some cannons?"
Jiravotu frowned and said nothing. Gao Guang continued, "I have eighteen M198 towed howitzers. Although they are second-hand, they are in good condition. They are just the equipment for an artillery battalion. Five million per cannon. Do you want them?"
"Hiss...well..."
"Don't tell me that you don't have artillery. I've already figured it out. You have plenty of artillery, but you just don't have cannon."
Gao Guang smiled confidently and continued: "Don't mention the M1777 ultra-light towed howitzer. I also have it. A jeep can tow it. Is it very suitable for you? The price is a little more expensive. One cannon costs fifteen million, and the quantity is small. It’s quite big, with only six guns, but you don’t need to remind me what a fast, mobile and flexible artillery battery can do to you.”
Jilawotu frowned and said, "Your price is too high. M77 is at most five million per door. Do you want fifteen million?"
Gao Guang immediately pointed at the cannonballs and said: "Cannons are expensive, but if I send cannonballs, is it expensive? Think about it. Is it expensive?"
Seeing Jilawotu lost in thought, Gao Guang continued: "I mainly delivered ammunition this time, so I brought the artillery shells. When delivering the cannons, I no longer had to drag a large number of artillery shells. As long as you buy the cannons, I will bring a few The car was delivered after being towed. It was fast and safe. You understand my intention?" Jilawotu took a long breath and whispered, "You are honest."
"Integrity wins the world. What do you say? I don't believe you have cannonballs but not cannons. Besides, I will give you the cannonballs first and then sell you the cannons. Doesn't that make you feel more at ease?"
Jilawotu took a deep breath and said, "Okay, we'll keep the cannonballs. When can you deliver the cannons?"
"If you have money, I will give it to you. Pay half in advance and pay the full amount when it arrives. If I don't let you pay now, I will pay you when my cannons are on board. I have given you all the cannonballs. Aren't you sincere enough?"
"Sincerity enough! Deal!"
Jilawotu stretched out his hand, and Gao Guang shook it and said, "I want that kind of cannon."
"Both require us to raise money, and we need to raise money now."
Jilawotu also put his left hand on the back of Gao Guang's hand, and said with great emotion: "As an arms dealer, you are the most honest person I have ever seen. You are anxious about the needs of users. Although your sales are expensive, in general After all, your price is the most cost-effective. I must express my gratitude to you, so we have settled on the price! "
"Okay, it's settled. Well, can we pay the remaining half of the price?"
Jilawotu said without hesitation: "Of course, pay now, and I will have someone transfer the money to you right away."
Jilawotu took out the satellite phone. He walked to the side and chatted for a while. Then he hung up the phone and said with a relaxed face: "The remaining half has been paid, up to twenty-four Hours you will definitely receive money."
Gao Guang stretched out his hand to shake Jilawotu's hand again and said with a smile: "We really enjoyed our cooperation, so of course I have to plan more for you. To be honest, big customers like you are not easy to find. "
"A conscientious arms dealer like you is rare."
The two laughed heartily together, and then let go of their hands at the same time.
Jilawotu said: "I will arrange for the escort and driver to have a meal and rest."
Gao Guang smiled and said: "I'm here to watch. If there is something wrong with the goods and the quantity is wrong, I will be responsible to the end."
Jilawotu left with satisfaction, while several people around Gao Guang were silent. After a long time, Leon suddenly said: "Profiteer..."
Gao Guang looked at Leon with dissatisfaction, Francisco's eyes widened and he said, "What did you say?"
Leon sighed and said: "I have been in business for so many years. I have only made reasonable profits, but people say you are a profiteer. You...you obviously deal with junk, but people say you are a conscientious businessman." , I'm not balanced.
Mike said unceremoniously: "If you give away tens of millions of shells every time you sell arms, people will say you are a conscientious businessman."
Leon said with a dejected look: "I can't deliver it. So many shells were destroyed immediately. I can't find such a source."
Mike said proudly: "Yeah, so the boss is a conscientious businessman, and you are a profiteer.
Leon spread his hands and said: "Well, the business seems to be finished now, I have the remaining half..."
"I'll give it to you as soon as it arrives. Don't worry."
Leon thought for a moment and whispered: "Actually, it's okay not to give it. Well, I'm not very greedy. Compared with money, I think life is more important, so I can't be too greedy."
"Let the convoy leave tonight. We will return to Sudan tomorrow after the money arrives."
After easily talking about how it would end, Gao Guang said seriously to Leon: "When we get to Sudan, I will pay you the remaining half, and then you can go wherever you want. You don't have to go with us. , this will make you feel more at ease."
Leon breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Thank you, you are really a man of your word. In fact, I don't worry much about it now. I really don't worry anymore."
