Chapter 7: Colt M16A2 (Part II)
As long as you don't see it, you can't imagine the shock of being in it.
Tens of thousands of Colt M16A2 automatic rifles lined up the room, their pitch-black bodies shining, like monsters devouring hope.
Yang Xun took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down.
But his accelerated heartbeat could not be relieved, and the excitement permeated his mind all the time.
The reason is that it is not a toy or a fashion brand that is placed in the warehouse, it is an automatic rifle that takes a human life every time the trigger is clicked.
It's not expensive, and the price can't even compare to a brand-name perfume.
But it can take anyone's life, no matter how powerful you are in the world, the rich side will die if the board is detained.
"Maybe that's what makes it fascinating......"
As a military fan, Yang Xun couldn't help but whisper, and at the same time reached out to touch the cold gun.
Tread, step, step.
Footsteps rang out, and Levent Kriska approached.
As an opponent of legal gun ownership, being surrounded by a Colt M16A2 automatic rifle made her feel very uncomfortable, but this is work, so she can only endure it.
Then the new chief financial officer also began to report on his work. "BOSS, this is all the firearms produced by Norton in the past 1 year, the type is Colt M16A2, the number is 12,000, and there are 5.56 mm NATO bullets, a total of 3.6 million, with a total value of about 7 million ~ 8 million US dollars, and it is also all assets except for the Norton factory. β
"Well, I got ......"
Yang Xun replied very calmly, and his voice did not tremble at all.
But no one knew that at this moment his heart was replaced by ecstasy, and he even had the urge to shout twice.
As an automatic rifle adopted in 1983, the Colt M16A2 has gone through nearly 20 ideas, but it is not lagging behind, on the contrary, it is very advanced, even today in 2001, the US military is still dominated by M16A2 and M4 carbines.
The purchase price of the Department of Defense is about $600.
But if it is placed in the international market, it will be nearly 1,000 US dollars, and if it is placed in Africa and the Middle East, which are plagued by war, its value will be doubled.
And these 12,000 Colt M16A2 represent tens of millions of dollars of wealth.
And that's just the beginning.
That's why the profession of arms dealer is fascinating, and I can't help but follow suit.
"With this start-up capital, I will have more room to operate in the upcoming 911, but all if the Colt M16A2 automatic rifles are sold, otherwise they are just a pile of scrap metal, and the Nasdaq will not allow anyone to buy stocks with guns. β
"Well, well, it looks like the trip to Iraq is going to be on the agenda as soon as possible!"
Then, after a rough inventory, Yang Xun and Levin Triska walked out of the warehouse.
And old Norton was just outside smiling at him......
β¦β¦
After leaving the warehouse, several people went to the old Norton's office.
Because Norton has no shareholders, there is no such thing as a joint-stock company, and the scale is not large, there is no need to hire professional managers, so in order to save costs, the old Norton placed the office in the innermost part of the factory.
And this is also Yang Xun's office in the future.
Half an hour later, after a rough report on Norton's finances, Levinel Triska left.
It's not clean, and the metal-smelling office is in a strange atmosphere.
Leaning against the window, Yang Xun looked at old Norton, and tried to speak several times but stopped, this nervous and stumbling appearance was something he had not had since he crossed over.
The reason why this is so is because he wants something crucial, and with it, Yang Xun can be regarded as taking over Norton.
And this thing is the buyer's contact book......
The light and shadow sprinkled on the side face, and after hesitating for a while, Yang Xun still spoke. "Dad, I want something, the buyer's contact book. β
"The buyer's contact book? Our buyer is Colt & Co., and as for the contact information, LΓ€venel has told you as well. β
Old Norton spoke with a blank face.
This made Yang Xun a little discolored, he didn't expect that the person in front of him would go around the bend with him.
Although he was a little offended, he decided to have a showdown for the sake of this contact book. "Dad, you should know what I'm talking about, don't tell me no, that shady contact book. β
The shady contact book, the buyer listed on it, is naturally not permitted by the Constitution.
This was known from the memories of Koster Young Norton, the original owner of this body, who had heard his drunken father talk about the contact book of the Invisible Sight.
And Yang Xun understood the key after thinking about it......
What is the most important thing in the sale of firearms, the power, the price, the buyer, yes, only the guns that are sold are firearms, and what cannot be sold is only broken copper and iron, which is placed in the warehouse and stacked with ashes.
As an arms dealer, Norton Sr. must have been in contact with many buyers, some who can see the light, and some who can't.
At that time, the deal may not be completed, but the contact information will definitely remain, because this is the most critical lifeblood of an arms dealer.
As for old Norton, his eyes couldn't help but flicker when he heard this.
Seeing all this in his eyes, how could Yang Xun not guess the truth, so he became even stronger. "Dad, you know how important a buyer is to an arms dealer, so please give it to me. β
"Hey......"
Old Norton sighed, and finally relented.
Light and shadow spilled from the pane to the side of his face, and only listened to him. "Okay son, I'll give you this contact book, but before that, you have to tell me what the 'gun' is to you. β
ββ¦β¦β
Yang Xun was silent and did not answer the question immediately.
What a 'gun' is, it's very simple to him, it's something he loves from the depths of his soul.
But apparently he couldn't say that, or old Norton would have walked away, and the shady contact book would never have been seen again.
So Yang Xun brewed for a while and said very solemnly. "The gun is the murder weapon of the wicked, but it is also the good weapon of the righteous, the accomplice of the invader, but also the savior of the defender, the gun has no good or evil, there is no right or wrong, it will have what kind of use in the hands of what kind of person, so it cannot be defined as good and evil for the 'gun' from the beginning. β
ββ¦β¦β
Hearing this, old Norton opened his mouth, but finally sighed.
In fact, he was not satisfied with this answer, but after careful consideration, he finally decided to hand over this shady contact book to Yang Xun, for the simple reason that he could not watch Norton go into decline because there was no buyer and eventually go bankrupt.
The light and shadow shone on his face, and the deep voice also sounded in the office. "The contact book is in the third drawer, it's yours now, and ...... Pay attention to names circled in red pen and never sell them firearms. β
