Chapter 240: What a cheap munition
AK74 500 plus 2 million rounds of 5.45 mm caliber bullets cost 700,000 US dollars, as for the AK47 bullets, Gao Yang came first with 10 million rounds, but Ulyanko did not have that much on his hands at all, and he put together the Russian, Chinese, and Eastern European ones to make up 4 million rounds.
The total price of four million rounds of 7.62 mm caliber ammunition is only 300,000 US dollars, and these bullets produced during the Cold War are now obsolete for those large countries, but the stock is still super large, and the price of military surplus ammunition is so cheap.
200 RPG bazookas plus 10,000 rockets of various types cost $600,000, 1,000 disposable RPG-26s cost $300,000, 10 Type 63 107mm rocket launchers plus rockets cost exactly $1 million, and 40,000 grenades cost $200,000.
One hundred PKM general-purpose machine guns, as well as twenty new Russian "Cord" 12.7 mm heavy machine guns, with only bullets and spare barrels, for a total of 400,000 dollars.
Ulyanko bought a lot of arms in Libya at a very low price, although Gao Yang didn't want the second-hand guns he received, but the bullets and rockets alone were enough for Ulyanko to earn a vote, especially grenades, Ulyanko collected 40,000 from Libya for a dollar, and sold them for five dollars, all of which were sold to the Skeleton Gang.
It was also because Ulyanko had a large number of grenades in his hands, and Gao Yang did not buy them in the planned quantity, even if Ulyanko could make five times the profit, but for Gao Yang and them, the price of five dollars a grenade was also very low. After all, this is buying from an arms dealer. It cannot be compared with the price of foreign military aid from major countries. If it is the military aid of a large country, grenades and other things have always been given away for free.
Sniper rifles and bullets need to be purchased by Ulyanko temporarily, so the price is not low, the price of a good M21 with a scope is three thousand dollars, and a pair of M40A1 with a scope is three thousand seven, and because the bullets of the sniper rifle are not easy to find, it is over when the fight is finished, so some more are purchased. Each gun is equipped with 10,000 rounds of ammunition, and the bullets are not cheap, and the price is 300,000 US dollars.
At the beginning, Gao Yang was afraid that there would not be enough money, but Gao Yang soon found that the money was not enough, but too much.
Majd had more than $21 million in his hand, and after removing the $3 million he had already taken from Gao Yang, there were still more than $18 million left, and the arms they were buying now only cost $3.8 million. This greatly exceeded their expectations, not that the money was spent too much. But it is too little, and if there are fifteen million or so left to buy food and medicine, I am afraid that it will be bad before 5,000 people can use it, and if you count it on everyone's head, it will be 30,000 dollars, and how long can 30,000 dollars of food be eaten by one person.
Because there was too much money left, Gao Yang and they found a new place to spend money, that is, communication equipment and electronic equipment, which ensured that they could be assigned to the team, and electronic equipment, in addition to a small number of night vision devices, bought a few generators and solar panels and other things, but these added up to only 600,000 US dollars.
After calculating the money needed for the weapon, everyone looked at each other, especially Abu looked at Gao Yang with a strange face, and said: "Your friend is so interesting, I can't imagine that the price he quoted is low, if we buy bullets, one dollar a round, but he sells it to us, one dollar can buy more than a dozen rounds, I know that you will buy things cheaper than what we buy in Somalia, but the difference is so much, this is incredible." β
Gao Yang was also quite incredible, he smiled and said: "These are not counting the freight, you know that it is difficult and risky to transport arms to Somalia, so the freight will be very high, my friend said that if it is just freight, it may cost two million US dollars." β
Abu still nodded again and again: "It's cost-effective, plus the freight is also very cost-effective." β
Gao Yang smiled: "If you think it's cost-effective, then you can buy it from him in the future, and you can cooperate for a long time." β
Majd nodded very seriously and said: "Your friend is a good businessman, we will buy things from him in the future, but what about the rest of the money? It is impossible to use it to buy food and medicine, it will not be used up at all." β
Gao Yang said very seriously: "I asked, the current international price of wheat is 320 US dollars a ton, even if it is only 320,000 US dollars to buy 1,000 tons, my friend will definitely have a high profit to buy grain for you, plus freight, it is enough to buy 1,000 tons of 1,000 US dollars, and medicines, I don't understand this, medicines and miscellaneous things are counted as 1 million US dollars, so it will not take 10 million US dollars to get a qiΔ." β
Abu grinned and laughed: "It's cheap, it's so cheap, I really didn't know that these things were so cheap to leave Somalia, okay, I think I can use the rest of the money to buy a boat, buy a new ship, big and fast, and don't have to worry about breaking down at sea." β
Gao Yang shrugged his shoulders and said, "You can buy a boat, but I think it's better to have some money left, it's better to have money in your hands than to find that the money is all spent when you need it, anyway, as long as you have money and a purchase channel, you can buy anything you want." β
Majd smiled: "Okay, I think I can add some more things, military uniforms and helmets can also come with a thousand sets, and of course military boots, now I think everything is cheap, I just want to make a big purchase." β
Gao Yang shrugged his shoulders and said: "It's okay to have a set of military uniforms, but there must be a difference, okay, distinguish the teaching company from ordinary soldiers, give a set of dress to the officers and soldiers of the teaching company, ordinary soldiers only have combat uniforms, I will let my friends buy them." β
Majd slapped his hand and said, "Okay, now you can ask your friend when he will be able to deliver the goods, and where he can deliver it, our base is located one hundred and ten kilometers east of Bososa, the key is that we don't have a port, if it is a ship, it can only be transferred to the shore by guΓ² fishing boats and speedboats." β
Gao Yang and they are still in the pirate village, but this village will be abandoned, and everyone will be transferred to the base of the Skeleton Gang, and Majd They don't have GPS, so they can't provide the coordinates of the base of the Skeleton Gang, but Gao Yang has GPS, so Gao Yang has to wait until he arrives at the base of the Skeleton Gang, and he can tell SΓΉ Ulyanko an accurate location, but now, Gao Yang can at least tell SΓΉ Ulyanko that the deal has been made.
After getting through the phone, Gao Yang smiled and said, "Good news, they are very satisfied with your offer, I will tell you the location of the delivery tonight, but how do you plan to collect the money?"
Ulyanko said excitedly: "Collect three million as a deposit, and pay the balance after the goods are delivered to the designated place, and when you tell me the place of the transaction, I will go there in person." (To be continued......)
