Chapter 403: Supplies in Short Supply
This time, he needed a lot of funds, just in case, Long Lei Yan prepared two million US dollars and Huaxia coins in cash, and when he came out to buy goods, Wang Bo was carrying a travel bag full of cash. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info Twenty tons of salt doesn't cost much, after all, this thing is not worth much on the coast. The key is medicine, which is small in size and high in value, and any box of medicine costs dozens of yuan, and a car costs hundreds of thousands or even millions.
In a corridor at the back of the hall, on either side were several crowded auction halls, many of whom were shouting hoarsely. Ruan Ying understood the situation here and said, "Boss, are we shooting openly or secretly?"
The so-called open auction is to enter these halls like an auction, bidding with others, and the dark auction is to write their own psychological price on the bidding document for bidding, and announce the winning bid results once a day. Of course, there are two other ways, the first is to know the owner of the goods, face-to-face transactions, the second is the buyer listing, this is more complicated, first you have to pay a certain deposit, and then write down the required goods and quantities, and the trading bank will advertise for you, and then they charge a handling fee when the transaction is made.
The latter several trading methods are too troublesome, and Long Leiyan decided to shoot openly, so that the results can be immediate, and the goods can be obtained immediately. Because he doesn't want to waste too much time in the city.
The group entered the auction hall, which was very different from the film and television works, there were no business tycoons in suits and leather shoes, no sexy and hot beauties, only a large group of rugged men with bare chests and arms, with various cigarettes in their mouths, waving their fists and banknotes and shouting.
After paying the deposit and qualifying for admission, the bald auctioneer in a short-sleeved shirt was auctioning off a batch of timber shipped from upstream, standing on a platform that looked like a classroom podium, holding an auction hammer in his hand, and his mouth was like a machine gun fire, and he kept talking.
The people in the audience kept raising the number plate in their hands and competing for bids.
Long Leiyan thought that he belonged to the category of stinky men, but only when he got here did he really realize what it meant to be a stinky man. I scolded Sister Ni in my heart, I haven't taken a bath for a long time, and the hall is full of simmering water, and there is thick smoke billowing out, choking people can't open their eyes.
These mixed scents, combined with all kinds of shouting and howling, ghost and wolf howls, are intertwined into an exotic music. Long Leiyan didn't want to stay here for a minute, he just looked forward to finishing the auction as soon as possible and leaving quickly, otherwise it would be difficult to ensure that he would not be fainted. I really admire these people who have been doing business here all year round, and it is estimated that they can live for a few more hours if they are thrown into the gas chamber, and their immunity is too strong.
At this time, the auction goods were changed on the stage, and the blackboard behind the auctioneer wrote 500 kilograms of kombu, which was made in Chiang Rai. Long Lei Yan Nahan, this kind of thing still dares to be auctioned openly, aren't you afraid that the local government will catch it?
Ruan Ying explained: "The exchanges here are protected by the government, and you can sell them even if you have an atomic bomb. ”
Long Leiyan asked, "Are there any conventional weapons for sale?"
Ruan Ying said: "Yes, but you have to touch it!"
As he was talking, perhaps it was a coincidence, but after the Kombu auction was over, the next order turned out to be really munitions, 1 million Magnum .38 caliber rifle rounds, and 2 million Browning .38 caliber machine gun rounds. These things should be left over from the American-Vietnamese War and the Franco-Vietnamese War, it has been thirty or forty years ago, and the performance is definitely not as good as new, but it can definitely be used.
Long Leiyan asked in a low voice, "Is there a shortage of arms in Shan State?"
Ruan Ying said: "There is friction almost every day over there, although the big forces have their own arsenals, but at most they can reload the ammunition, and they can't really produce their own bullets, so they must be nervous, but these ammunition is very risky for us to transport, you have to think about it carefully!"
This time they are equipped with the main weapon is HK416 caliber 5.56 mm, using NATO standard bullets, Long Leiyan is worried that there will be a big war in the Golden Triangle, and the ammunition he brings cannot be replenished, and most of the local armed forces use old-fashioned firearms or even World War II periods, and their bullets are not interchangeable, so I want to buy this batch of bullets over there to be prepared, and directly change weapons at critical moments, even if they can't be used, they can be sold.
Although Vile can make bullets at any time, the cost is too high, and the energy that needs to be consumed is too late to replenish it. Vile must maintain enough energy for this operation, just in case she needs it. Millions of rounds of ammunition may seem like a lot, and the numbers sound scary, but in fact, they are just a pile of bullets that can be transported by two or three trucks.
Long Leiyan snatched the number plate from Wang Bo, who was about to suffocate, and raised it first. The blackboard wrote that the reserve price was 100,000 US dollars, and each increase was not less than 2,000 US dollars. There are only two currencies traded here, the American sword and the Chinese currency, and even their own guilders are not in circulation.
The bidding for the arms deal must be very fierce, and the highest price in Long Leiyan's heart is 200,000 US dollars. Who would have thought that since he raised his card, no one had bid again, and the auctioneer shouted and screamed, so he had no choice but to knock down the hammer and sell. Long Leiyan asked Wang Bo and Wan Bolu to pay and get the bill of lading.
He felt a little strange in his heart, could it be that he had been deceived, why did no one care about the arms that were in demand?
Ruan Ying also scratched his ears and cheeks a little, and nagged in his mouth: "It shouldn't be, this thing was very sought-after before!"
On the auction table, several orders of goods have been auctioned in a row, and the two people who delivered the goods have also returned, Wan Bolu grabbed a handful of samples in his hand, handed them to Long Leiyan, and said: "The condition is okay, but the shell is a little oxidized, and this must be thrown once before use, otherwise it will cause great damage to the gun chamber and affect the life of the gun." ”
The bullets in his hand did not look like a brilliant golden color, but emitted a kind of vulture yellow, and they were a little astringent when touched with his hand, but they were not rusted. Long Leiyan returned the bullet to Wan Bolu and said, "Uncle Wan, can the other goods be guaranteed to be the same as this one?"
"You can rest assured that someone from the trading house will pick up the goods with us, and the guarantee is the same as the sample," said Wan Bolu. ”
At this moment, another order of arms appeared, this time a NATO standard 5.56 caliber machine gun bullet, produced by Smith Wesson, but it was also a stale product. After the auctioneer announced the low price, not only did the audience not bid, but someone urged the next order to be made quickly.
Bo Ruan, the king of Wanbo Road, looked at Long Leiyan together, the four of them had eight eyes facing each other, and there were a lot of strange things in their hearts every day, why did the arms that were in demand in previous years become unpopular today?
The auctioneer shouted on the stage, "Two million 5.56-caliber NATO standard bullets cost only 50,000 US dollars, 50,000 US dollars!
