Chapter 43: The Million Dollar Arms Deal

In Marin Town, Idris sat opposite the elder with reverence, although the old man in front of him was his grandfather, but the reverence in his eyes was not only the kind of elder, but also a kind of pious respect.

Elders, in the Arab civilization only those wise men of high wisdom are entitled to such a title.

Every elder is the most respected person of the people, and one sentence of them is sometimes more powerful than a hundred sentences of the government.

Being called the spokesman of the true God in the world is closely related to the profound knowledge accumulation of the elders.

A wise man, the leader of the spiritual world, his followers are numerous.

There are not many such figures, even in a metropolis like Baghdad.

Idris's grandfather was one of them, one of only four elders around Baghdad.

Although he is not like some elders, he is active in Iraqi politics, but his popularity among the people, even the current president of Iraq, is completely incomparable.

"Elder, Mr. Cai just sent me a message that he will sell another batch of arms, worth a million dollars, and told me to prepare a check for the equivalent dinar." Idris said respectfully.

"Go, boy, God will bless you." The elder lowered his eyes, slowly opened, and said.

"But Elder, this Mr. Cai has sold arms for the third time, what is he going to do in Iraq?" Idris hesitated for a moment and said.

"Child, don't have so many worries, everything will have an answer in the future, follow the thoughts you think are right, and go on. Often, you only get one chance. The elder said.

"I'm afraid he's no different from the vampires who drink the blood of the Iraqi people." Idris said.

"Yes or no, you should have an answer in your heart, since you have made a choice, there are contradictions and questions in your heart, don't rush to conclusions without a thorough understanding." After the elder finished speaking, he slowly closed his eyes.

Seeing this, Idris did not speak again, but slowly stood up and walked towards the outside of the house.

At the door, four young armed men, as well as an explorer off-road vehicle, were already waiting for him, and after getting into the car, he said: "Go to the No. 1 warehouse of the Future Technology Group." ”

When Idris came to this warehouse, which had been over many times, Cai Ruichen had also arrived in the warehouse, and in all corners of the warehouse, more than a hundred mobilized soldiers were on guard, fully armed.

The explorers drove directly into the warehouse through Gate 1, and a mobilizer stepped forward to help Idris open the door.

Cai Ruichen also stepped forward with a smile, gave Idris a cordial hug, and said, "I haven't seen my friend for a long time." ”

"Don't come unharmed, my friend." Idris also responded kindly.

"Come, let's sit down and talk." Cai Ruichen pointed to a set of sofas in the warehouse and said.

After sitting down, Idris looked around at the more than 100 mobilized soldiers, and said with a curious expression: "The more you get in touch with Mr. Cai, the more you can feel your mystery. ”

"I'm alone, I always have some means of self-protection, as for these people, they are all security personnel of the security company of my technology group, one protects this warehouse, and is also responsible for my safety."

Cai Ruichen pointed to the armbands on the shoulders of the mobilized soldiers, on the blue armbands, on the top of the armbands, there was a small row of words written in Chinese characters and Arabic with the words of the future security company, and under the small characters was a shield in the shape of the base logo and two crossed Type 95 assault rifles.

The logo represents the base and the Future Tech Group, the shield represents defense and defense, and the two crossed assault rifles represent the ability to attack in addition to defense.

The meaning was very easy to understand, Idris almost understood it at a glance, and then asked: "It's just that I'm curious, are Mr. Cai's subordinates training in a certain place around, why haven't there been any news before?" It's as if they came out of nowhere. ”

"Just this point of armament, there is nothing to keep secret, the future security company does have its own training base, also has its own weapons production line, in fact, the arms I sell you are all produced by ourselves."

Some words have reached such a point, Cai Ruichen also plans to say it, the secrecy of the base is naturally put in the first place, and lies should be said.

"It's really surprising, I was surprised that Mr. Cai really planned to come here to develop industry or technology, but I didn't expect that it was still an arms company and a security company, and there was no difference from those overseas companies stationed in Iraq."

Idris was very disappointed in his heart, thinking that Cai Ruichen's amazing resume and the purpose of coming to Iraq were different from those careerists.

The result is still the same, it is still intended to use arms to open the door to Iraq, and then let Iraqis kill each other, so as to earn high profits from arms.

"Mr. Idris, I'm sure you must have misunderstood something, to be honest, it is not easy to develop our group's business in a country like Iraq. And if I had to choose for myself, I would prefer to choose a stable country, not a country where security cannot be guaranteed, to start my career.

Since fate has arranged for me to come to this country, I can only ensure my own safety as much as possible, and the future development of the group must also have sufficient security capabilities. Otherwise......"

Speaking of which, there is no need for Cai Ruichen to continue, there are some things that Idris, a local, knows better than him the difficulties of a normal company in developing in Iraq.

Hearing Cai Ruichen's words, Idris's mood eased somewhat, and Idris was also very helpless about his all-round concern about Iraq's national security.

Iraq, which has been ranked as the most dangerous country in the world for many years in a row, has never left the top three, if not the first, most dangerous, second and third.

This makes it impossible for him to promise an outsider, not even the Iraqi government, to make a promise of absolute safety to any foreign company.

"I also regret this." After the atmosphere was silent for a long time, Idris spoke a little lonely.

For a scholar like him who has returned from abroad, a young man with ambition and ideas, seeing his country is so unbearable, the pain in his heart is difficult for outsiders to understand.

"I believe that everything will be fine, the times are advancing, and we can't always stay where we are." Cai Ruichen showed a hint of a smile, and there was still a bit of confidence in his smile.

Idris was in a heavy mood, but he barely showed a smile, and then said, "Mr. Cai, let's talk about this transaction!" ”

"Okay, a hundred brand new AK-47s, ten M60 machine guns, three hundred thousand rounds of original ammunition." Cai Ruichen said.

"The combined value of these weapons and ammunition is more than a million dollars." Idris said.

"It's not an outsider anymore, in the past month or so, our cooperation has been very smooth, and the weapons I mentioned are converted into one million dollars."

Cai Ruichen is not a person who likes to settle small accounts, he naturally knows very well that the price of 300,000 original bullets in one breath is at least 900,000 US dollars.

And the value of ten light machine guns is also tens of thousands of dollars, and a hundred brand-new original AK-47s cost at least 150,000 dollars.

The total value is close to 1.1 million, and it is still a very normal market, and it is difficult to buy such a quantity of original weapons in Iraq, and sometimes it is not possible to buy such a large quantity at a high price.

"Then thank you Mr. Cai in advance." Idris first expressed his gratitude, and then asked: "This amount is still settled in dinars, and the exchange rate between the dinar and the dollar today is 1:1455.8842, and this million dollars is 1.4 billion dinars." ”
