Chapter 294: Arms Dealer

The sufficient cement ensured the smooth construction of the second front.

The entire chamber of commerce is concentrated in all the large-scale construction machinery, and nearly 300,000 are started at the same time, plus the quality does not need to reach a very high level, just need not to be overwhelmed by the zombies, so that the progress is naturally God.

After a few days, the gathering of zombies finally reached an astonishing 30 million again, which was even more powerful than the first time.

The Chamber of Commerce was not nervous about this, and the ammunition in reserve was enough to defuse their offensive this time. In this endless wasteland, they have nowhere to hide, and they are active attackers, and for the Chamber of Commerce, they are completely like live targets. Their only possible contribution is to consume the Chamber's ammunition, and there is no threat that they will not even break through the first front.

After a few days of painful work, I finally disposed of the countless cement, but this is not over, and the ammunition still needs to be solved.

Benefiting from the impact of this crazy sweep, the price of cement in the entire surrounding cities began to rise. In turn, the cement sector of the entire stock market has strengthened wildly. This kind of joint relationship is indeed a pity for Zhou Yuanqiang, if he knows a little about the stock market, or speculation, he can take this opportunity to make a lot of money, at least half of the money he purchased cement.

As soon as the domestic cement matter was dealt with, Zhou Yuanqiang didn't even say hello to his family, and went abroad in a hurry, and the target was Yemen.

As one of the most active countries in the Middle East, Yemen's problem is also very complex, with the highest rate of gun ownership in the world. Here, you can see people carrying guns on the streets everywhere, and the state explicitly does not allow them to bring guns to the streets, but the police generally do not care about this. There are legal weapon shops where you can easily buy your favorite guns.

Religion and tribal and ethnic issues are not only troubled by other non-state countries, but Yemen is also caught in all three.

Fortunately, Yemen's state is unified and its society is in turmoil, but at least not like Somalia, where there is an almost daily exchange of fire. The geographical location of Yemen. It has also determined that they have become a gateway to the Middle East, and the arms trade is very active, and a large number of arms dealers gather here.

A lot of illegal organizations, armed forces, arms purchases from poor countries are carried out in Yemen, and the whole country is almost synonymous with an arsenal.

When Zhou Yuanqiang arrived in Yemen, he was indeed a little surprised. Compared to the law of owning guns in China, which is at least a few years in prison, this is completely a free country of guns. You can even see people carrying a detachment on their backs, talking to the local police and garrison. The streets are full of people with a chain of golden bullets pinned to their waists, and it seems that here, guns and bullets have become a kind of ornament.

Yemen also has an unspoken rule that they rarely shoot people in the street and fight people. Like settling personal grievances, it is generally mediated by the tribe. The seemingly primitive unspoken rules are one of the factors that guarantee the stability of Yemen, so the status of the tribe in Yemen is very prominent, and some local governments need to respect the opinions of the tribe.

After simply putting on makeup so that people would not recognize his true face, Zhou Yuanqiang wandered the streets and soon came to the door of a luxuriously decorated weapons shop.

The arms trade here has reached the point of openness. However, on the surface, the trade in some light weapons, such as heavy weapons, is still strictly prohibited by Yemen. So these heavy weapons will be traded in secret. A weapon shop is like a point of contact.

Zhou Yuanqiang walked in, the marble floor was shining, and several crystal chandeliers were arranged in the lobby, as if he had entered a hotel, not a weapons store.

Inside, there are several counters with a large number of pistols, rifles and a range of other light weapons. Bullets of different calibers, all lined up. Antique, latest, rare types of firearms, you can see them all here. It's an encyclopedic weapons shop.

The most eye-catching thing is that the walls around the lobby are full of fiery mahogany trays, at least hundreds of them.

When the young Yemeni salesman saw a customer coming to his door, he immediately greeted him warmly. In the past few years, he has received many foreign tourists, as well as many private or small groups of people who have sold them the various types of weapons in the weapons shop.

"Hello, is there anything I can do for you?"

With some local English, but it's not hard to listen to, and it's not unintelligible. A very professional young man, he didn't wait for Zhou Yuanqiang to speak, he had already introduced the pocket pistols on the counter, and said: "These pistols are very exquisitely made, they are completely like a work of art, and more importantly, you don't have to worry about customs problems with this kind of pistol, we are here to allow you to take the gun out of the country." ”

If it had been a different tourist, they would have been tempted to hear that this pistol could be taken out of customs. It's a pity that Zhou Yuanqiang really has no interest in these. He said, "Is your Mr. Berard here?" I need to talk to him about something. ”

The sales guy was stunned for a moment, looked at Zhou Yuanqiang, and finally said, "Do you have an appointment?" ”

Zhou Yuanqiang smiled and said, "You can tell him that I was introduced by Lacey from Luo Shirt, and I think Lacey should have mentioned me." ”

"Wait a minute, I'll go ask the boss."

It didn't take long for a cheerful laugh to come from the second floor, and an old, boiled head Bellard came down the stairs and looked at Yamagan for a moment. Immediately said enthusiastically: "Are you Zhou?" Lacey has been my buddy for many years, and I've heard him mention you for a long time, and I just ended my call with him. It's a great honor to see you! ”

Zhou Yuanqiang hugged the other party and said, "I'm also glad to meet you, Mr. Berard." ”

The two of them exchanged politeness, went up to the second floor again, and sat down in Berard's office.

"Red wine, or tea?" Berard picked up the wine and tea from the side of the bookcase, shook it at Zhou Yuanqiang, and said, "You also know that the situation in Yemen is very bad, and of course we people don't show up easily. The competition among peers is very fierce and sometimes there are conflicts. ”

Of course, Zhou Yuanqiang understands this, and he said: "Mr. Belard, I can completely understand this. Also, just give me red wine. ”

Pouring Zhou Yuanqiang a glass of red wine, Berard sat back on the office chair and said, "Listen to Lacey, do you need my help?" You also know that I am only familiar with the arms industry, and I can't do anything else Zhou Yuanqiang also took some sips, and after taking a few sips of red wine, he said: "Looking for you is for the sake of arms." ”

Berard was interested, "Oh? When it comes to arms, I think you've got the right person, Lacey has been my buddy for many years, and he knows me best. ”

Zhou Yuanqiang was not polite, handed the list of what he needed from his pocket to Bellard, and said, "You take a look first, if there is no problem, we will continue to talk." ”

The list is listed, mainly artillery shells, but also mines, rockets, aerial bombs. Zhou Yuanqiang also hoped for a missile, but this seemed to be too difficult, so in the end it was not included in the list. In Zhou Yuanqiang's opinion, as long as there are enough shells, even if there is no air force, the zombies can be torn apart by carpet bombing.

The artillery group has only recently taken shape, and the reserve of artillery shells is seriously insufficient, and now what I need to do is to purchase enough shells for fire suppression.

Artillery shells all over the world, according to different calibers, are generally of the general type. When the Chamber of Commerce Arsenal originally designed artillery, it was also designed according to the size of the previous artillery, which could shoot all kinds of general-purpose shells. While reducing the pressure on logistics, it also brings convenience to Zhou Yuanqiang.

The arsenal is about to be unable to produce shells quickly, even if it procures a batch from Hyundai by itself, it is universal and can be used anyway.

At first, Belard really didn't pay much attention to the list in his hand, but when he looked at it a few times, he was suddenly shocked, looked at Zhou Yuanqiang and said, "You, aren't you kidding?" ”

Zhou Yuanqiang's purchase of artillery shells of various calibers has reached the level of persuasion of 10,000, 10,000 landmines, 10,000 rockets, and 10,000 aerial bombs. From Berard's point of view, such a large ammunition base is definitely the largest order for arms and ammunition since World War II.

"Of course, do you think I came all the way to you to play a joke on you?"

Of course, Zhou Yuanqiang understood that this was too shocking, but he had no way, at least such a number of concubines, to help the Chamber of Commerce survive this crisis safely. The two walls can certainly stop the zombie frenzy and buy time for the Chamber of Commerce. However, Zhou Yuanqiang still believes that the huge ammunition base can not only guarantee the present, but also protect the future.

This is an order over the dollar of one dollar, which is already on par with an order from one country.

Berard looked at the young man in front of him with some seriousness, he was a bit like a half-breed, and he should have the characteristics of the East and the West. The problem is that such a large arms deal is definitely not a purchase by an individual or an organization, and the only explanation is the state. But what country would need such a large base of shells?

To be honest, although there have been many conflicts in the Middle East since he was engaged in the arms business, it is still unbelievable that he has encountered such a huge amount of ammunition.

"There's no way I'm going to hand over so much ammunition

Originally, he wanted to brag about how he had the strength to rank among the arms dealers, but in the face of this list, Berard felt powerless. His previous business was partly shipped from his own manufacturing plant, and partly from other arsenals.

What's more, such a large ammunition base will definitely attract the attention of the intelligence centers of some countries, and there will be a lot of trouble in trading.

Zhou Yuanqiang had long expected that Berard would not be able to eat alone, he said: "The time I need to deliver is only half a month, and I don't introduce who will make the production, I only need the goods." You should understand what I mean, Mr. Bellard, that you can act as my agent in this business, and I will give you half of the price of the goods as a reward

The purchase price of 1.5 billion, the half-achievement is 75 million, a quantity that Bellard cannot refuse.

Of course, Berard was tempted, he sat back in his chair quietly, thinking carefully, he had to think clearly about his interpersonal relationships, how to arrange this order, so that it could be delivered within half a month. Although there is no legal protection for underground arms dealers. But there are also its rules, as long as you mix in this business, you must abide by it, otherwise your reputation will be stinky, and you don't have to think about continuing to mix.

And the organization team that can carry out arms procurement, in this peaceful world, which one is not an outlaw? No matter how powerful the arms dealer is, it is just the identity of an intermediary. Conflict with them. It must be the arms dealer listening

"Half a month. Wouldn't it be too short? ”

Berard tapped lightly on the table, and if the time was a month, there would be no problems at all. However, half a month, excluding the time for liaison and negotiation, and the time for transportation, is only about ten days for manufacturing and production.

This means that if you want to meet the deadlines, you have to work with more arms dealers.

Zhou Yuanqiang didn't want to be so short on time, but the question was, would the zombies give themselves time?

As long as he thought of the reconnaissance pictures handed over to him by the intelligence department, the countless zombies below had been assembled, and Zhou Yuanqiang had a headache. The second offensive, with more than 30 million zombies, made people understand what a human wave is and what a collective impact is. Although all this was broken up by the air force, the second wave of the offensive was dispersed, but the air force's ammunition was basically exhausted.

As long as the third wave of the offensive is formed, they can directly face the first front of the wasteland, and the fourth wave can destroy the entire front and pounce on the second line that has not yet been built.

This kind of time, half a month is not a very long time, which is enough for the zombies to form a third wave of offensive.

"Mr. Belard, there is no force in time." Zhou Yuanqiang drank the red wine in his hand in one sip and said: "If the cooperation goes well, I think this is just the beginning of our cooperation, and there will be more cooperation in the future." Now this is not a very difficult order, there should be no problem, right? ”

Berard nodded, compared to the cannonballs that have no technical content, you said to let yourself get one, of course it is impossible, the Yankees don't have a few yet, how can they be seen in the black market. Like the Apache armed straight plane, etc., these are too dazzling weapons, and there are almost no ways to get them on the black market.

A country's management system, like this kind of large weapon, has a set of plans, and suddenly one of them disappears, this kind of thing, in reality, almost never happens.

What's more, such fighter weapons, their price is too expensive. Don't look at an Apache, fully armed, it only takes a thousand dollars to breathe a mouthful. But that refers to state-to-state transactions, and in the black market, it's not cheap, it's much more expensive, and there's no blade. 10,000 dollars, you don't have to expect to be able to buy it.

However, it is absolutely impossible for a person with 40,000 dollars to spend this money to buy an Apache helicopter gunship, and it is better to equip it with several sets of bazookas, and one set is only a few thousand dollars.

Actually calculated, it seems that these are tens of millions of dollars, but their profits have changed hands several times, and the intermediary can not make much money. Don't look at the low profit margin of ammunition, but you can't stand the large quantity. Just looking at Zhou Yuanqiang's orders, there are nearly 10 million shells of all kinds, and the profits are very amazing.

"I can take this order, but the problem of transportation, I can only guarantee that there is no problem in Yemen, and we have no ability to leave Yemen, after all, we are just a group of intermediary arms dealers." The number is still too large, and Berard does not dare to guarantee it. Since the other party has such a great ability to give such a large order, there should be a way for them to solve the transportation problem.

Zhou Yuanqiang didn't care, and said: "The transportation problem will be solved on my side, and you only need to load the ship at that time and rely on the place I designated." ”

There is also a "We only accept cash payments, you know, in our business, the bank account is not secure, and it is easy to lock the account." ”

In Berard's view, this condition is not easy to deal with, and the thought of $1.5 billion in cash can make people's scalps tingle. If people know that someone is transporting 1.5 billion in cash, absolutely the whole thing is not overturned? This, the condition, is indeed difficult to force.

Who knew that Zhou Yuanqiang just blinked his eyes and said, "No problem, when the time comes, we will deliver the goods with one hand and pay the money with the other." For your peace of mind, I can pay $40,000 in advance, and I believe that Mr. Bellard is a friend of Lacey, and this credibility is still there. ”

Berard didn't expect the other party to agree so simply, which led to a moment of astonishment, and then nodded mechanically and said: "Okay, thank you very much for your trust, I believe that our cooperation will definitely be long-term." ”

After a series of problems with the concubine's transactions, Zhou Yuanqiang left Berard's weapons shop.

Zhou Yuanqiang didn't know much about Bellard, and the last time he was in Luo Yuanlu, Zhou Yuanqiang approached Lacey and asked him to introduce his arms dealers in the Middle East, so Lacey recommended Bellard. Afterwards, Zhou Yuanqiang also asked DuPont about the situation, and it was confirmed that this Berard was indeed very credible. In Yemen it is the sixth-ranked arms dealer.

Of course, Zhou Yuanqiang believes in the information of DuPont, how to say that DuPont is also a giant in the arms industry, and with their strength, the information is certainly credible.
