Chapter 203 Millionaire
Zhang Ailun's eyes lit up and he said, "Firepower, firepower!"
I immediately opened the opportunity website and found Leihuo, a subsidiary of Mayweather Company. I found that not many people had browsed this information, but some people had already made reservations in advance. Who knows how their hand speed is so fast? Are they staring at the page 24 hours a day?
The chief leader quickly locked in and reserved the free tickets, thinking that if the price was right, he could directly consider buying one of the Gazelle, as well as the armed escort vehicle. If the price of the drone was right, he could also select the best one.
Leihuo Company: Congratulations on placing an order and booking a seat for the Leihuo Private Armed Military Exhibition. The Gazelle helicopter No. 56678 and the armed escort vehicle No. 56679 will be on display at 2 pm. For on-site inspection and door-to-door pickup, you need to go to the B-52 hangar in Agoura Hills. Please contact the staff after arrival. If you shop online, you need to fill in the detailed address for escort delivery.
Zhang Ailun certainly considered an on-site inspection. After all, it's really hard to buy this thing blindly without someone to identify it, otherwise there might be problems.
[Daily Intelligence: A vicious armed robbery occurred in Lancaster. The newly emerged Black Ribbon Team imitated Bowhead Whale and Black Boots and attempted to rob the largest local Flower Garden Bank. They premeditatedly shot and killed the vault supervisor, hacked into the camera, swept away 168 million US dollars and fled, but unfortunately they were chased by police officers on the way. Team members were shot and killed, and the seriously injured escaped driver shook off the police car and went to the mountaintop cabin where the stolen goods were sold, but unfortunately died of excessive bleeding. ]
[Details: The driver was carrying $26 in cash and abandoned it in a cabin on the top of a mountain, becoming ownerless. The police issued a $5 reward for the fugitive and expected to find clues to the stolen money in 36 hours.]
Zhang Ailun was secretly shocked.
Silly boy. How dare you rob a bank? If no one cooperates with the drill, isn't that just courting death?
I can only sigh that there are so many talented people on the West Coast.
No one wants $26? If no one wants it, I will.
He worked very hard and planned to rob a bank, but in the end, he got into trouble and became a puppet of others. Good job! More information like this!
Zhang Ailun exited the intelligence page and found that the people at Luo Jinwei Military Base were really lazy. It was already half past eight and no one had contacted him in the background.
By chance, Sig woke up too, rubbed his eyes, and asked, "Boss, what time is it now?"
"8:32." Zhang Ailun replied helplessly: "The people in the bidding department of the military base should not have woken up yet? I sent them a message last night, but no one has responded yet."
"Then let's wait a little longer. After all, they have no shortage of connections, and they are just trying to make more money by inviting external bids. If we want to make this money, we have to see their mood. We should wait a little longer." Sig was no longer surprised by this. He got out of the car and ran to the woods to pee and stretch his muscles.
Not long after, a humming sound was heard overhead. Zhang Ailun looked over and saw an unidentified air transport plane that circled over the Rockinway military base and then landed.
The chief leader thought that they might also be involved in arms trading. He logged into the Opportunity Network and refreshed the information, and indeed saw the relevant prompts.
Rockinwei Military Base Tendering Department: Hello, now is the official tendering time for Rockinwei Military Base. We are very grateful to the Thunderbolt Armed Nation for its armed support. If the arms have been escorted to the nearby area, please contact us as soon as possible and inform us of the vehicle and personnel information. We will send staff to pick them up. The arms need to be transported to the 2a checkpoint, undergo relevant safety inspections, and the pricing will be taken over by staff from the special assessment department.
Thunderbolt Armed Nation: Hello, we have arrived near the military base. The vehicle we are driving is a black bulletproof armed escort vehicle and a sand truck with a license plate number of xxx. The passengers in the vehicle are all registered employees of Thunderbolt. Please send your staff to meet us as soon as possible.
Tendering Department: Received.
Zhang Ailun finally received the notification from the military district department, and also notified Xige and the Beggar Gang disciples to get ready and drive the batch of clay explosives over.
When the vehicle arrived at the gate of the military base, the soldiers on guard immediately raised their hands to stop it.
"Hello, we are from the Armed Nation of Thunderbolt, and we have already contacted the people in the bidding department in advance." Sig lowered the window of the escort vehicle and explained to the other party.
The base soldier took out the walkie-talkie and reported. After receiving the relevant response, he came up and said seriously: "Hello, sir, we have received the relevant mission notification. Please walk to the manual passage for security inspection after getting off the car and fill out the report information. If you carry the following dangerous items, tactical knives, fragmentation grenades, fully automatic or semi-automatic pistols, rifles, sniper rifles, please unload them in advance and report to avoid misunderstandings and unpleasant frictions."
"Ok." Sig nodded in agreement.
This was also Zhang Ailun’s first time at the military region, and he didn’t expect that the face-saving project was done quite well.
Maybe they are strangers and are here to do business for the first time. They don’t have any connections, so facial recognition doesn’t work well here and they can’t go in directly.
Zhang Ailun led his men out of the car and, under the guidance of the soldiers, went to the artificial passage. Then they took off all their equipment, filled out forms and took photos of the physical information one by one. Each person also printed a label and attached it to the security equipment for easy collection.
No, you collect cell phones too?
Zhang Ailun looked at the cell phones wrapped in plastic. Are they so cautious? Are they treating them the same as suspected spies?
However, while the new customers were still here reporting their reports, the old customers had already been let in by scanning their faces with their ID cards and stepped on the accelerator.
The chief leader heard the roar of the engine and turned around to see a heavily modified bulletproof off-road armored vehicle. He stepped on the accelerator and pulled boxes of goods. At the door, he just swiped his ID in the air and the soldier who was in charge of guarding the door decisively let him pass.
"Why don't they need to be checked?" Zhang Ailun asked the staff in confusion.
"Sir, they are an armed nation that has had many collaborations with our military district. If your armed nation has two-star qualifications or above and has had transactions and cooperation with the local military district in California within six months, you can apply online in advance and print out the military district's entry and exit certificate." The staff member replied.
"I don't seem to have seen any relevant printing prompts or application link pages in the background." Zhang Ailun felt strange.
The staff checked Pilihuo's qualifications again and explained, "That's because you need to accumulate credit points again and restore your original qualifications. Because your Armed Nation has no record of transactions with the military region in the past six months, and has completed the transfer contract, California law clearly stipulates that within three months after the transfer, Armed Nation vehicles entering and leaving the military region must fill in information in the required report. If there are any violations during this period, the qualification for cooperation with the military region will be revoked. If the transaction volume exceeds 20 US dollars in funds, it will be regarded as normal credit, and the next transaction will no longer require special procedures."
This is also done to ensure that terrorists and spies cannot simply take over an armed state and walk into regional military regions to carry out bombing retaliation and intelligence gathering. Otherwise, military bases will be too easy for them to infiltrate.
But it is not difficult to infiltrate.
Just give me money.
The military district leaders have made money and seen your sincerity. Of course, they are happy to welcome you to do business! Maybe they will even keep you here to participate in the exciting program.
The main purpose is a face-saving project for which I was cautious, but not completely cautious.
Zhang Ailun understood everything and cooperated with the staff to complete all the inspections before he was allowed to go to the bidding hall of the military base.
During the period, we also saw soldiers who had gotten up for training and were running around the playground, and many other arms dealers were being led by staff to visit the base facilities.
The scale of the Rockingway Military Base is quite good, covering a vast area. There are several Black Hawk helicopters, an Apache attack helicopter, as well as land combat armored vehicles and tanks parked in the military training ground next to it. The military expenditure just for these things is more than hundreds of millions of dollars!
This is just a little-known military base in the suburbs of Los Angeles, California.
It can be seen that with a military expenditure of nearly 9000 billion US dollars per year, how luxurious the equipment of the troops can be. How much money can be made by secretly selling it. But the grade of equipment does not represent the real combat effectiveness. Zhang Ailun felt that this thing was probably not used many times. It has battlefield limitations. The main battlefield now should be the era of drones and electronic warfare. No matter how powerful the armed helicopter is, it will not be very useful in front of a Stinger rocket launcher after being interfered and locked.
The Black Hawk helicopter costs 700 million . dollars, while the Stinger only costs 4 . dollars, but it can be destroyed at any time.
However, these equipments are still a dimensionality reduction attack against many third world countries that do not have air defense facilities, not to mention small-scale private armed forces and drug lords, and their main purpose is to bully the weak and fear the strong.
You can't see anything from the outside, but when you walk in, you will find that the military base has not only a guard post every three steps or ten steps, but also a camera at every corner. It is still difficult to do anything here.
The staff member was responsible for bringing the chief leader and several others to the lobby of the bidding department, asked them to wait patiently for the escorted arms assessment documents to come out, and then turned and left.
There are already many people waiting here, holding labels and certificates in their hands, and some are even enjoying the military base's free breakfast.
Zhang Ailun also found a place to sit down, while Sig took people to the side to order food, sandwiches, milk, fried eggs, coffee candies, and just took a quick bite.
"Boss, this should be an ordinary bidding and trading area. If it involves arms worth more than one million US dollars at a time, you will definitely be invited to the VIP room upstairs for private negotiations and transactions. This is our first time here, and we rely on them for our meals, so our treatment is definitely not that good." Sig explained.
The chief nodded, not caring at all, and took a bite of the sandwich, thinking it tasted very good, better than the ones sold in the convenience stores and supermarkets on the roadside.
After all, the army's food allocation has been very good since the last century, and soldiers have never been treated unfairly. It is a good job for soldiers to be stationed at overseas military bases. They have cigarettes, alcohol, coffee and comfort women every day. What else do they need bicycles?
Soon they finished their free breakfast, and a notice came from the loudspeaker: Staff of the Armed Nation of Thunderbolt Fire are requested to go to the No. 26 bidding window to collect the evaluation certificate, and go to the B-5 bidding office to discuss cooperation.
Zhang Ailun took Sig to window 26 and received the evaluation certificate from the brown-haired beauty employee. He then asked about the specific location of the bidding office, got the information from the other party, thanked her politely, and then turned and left.
Sig took the lead and knocked on the door. An inviting voice came from inside: "Come in."
Pushing the door open, Zhang Ailun saw a middle-aged white man with a crew cut and a resolute face wearing a military uniform sitting in the office. On the table was a weapon box and an opened box of clay explosives.
Looking up and seeing several people coming in, the man smiled and extended his hand to shake hands warmly in welcome. "Hello, I am Will, the head of the bidding department of the Rockinway Military Base. You are the staff of the Thunderbolt Armed Nation, right? Please take a seat."
Sig readily agreed and sat on the sofa with his men. Zhang Ailun also recognized that his shoulder straps were the rank of major.
Sig introduced himself, "Hello, Mr. Supervisor. I'm Sig Compry, the head of the Thunderbolt Armed Nation. I used to serve in the Marine Corps with the rank of captain. The cargo we're bidding to transport this time is a batch of clay explosive raw materials."
The major smiled slightly upon hearing this, and immediately praised: "Your clay explosives have passed our professional testing and evaluation. The soldiers are very satisfied with your explosives. The production process is simple but practical. I wonder how much you would like to quote?"
Sieg thought, "Then I think $50000 a box is a reasonable price, if for no other reason than to give the soldiers better weapons."
The major was stunned for a moment, and then he said seriously, "I think so too! Poor quality weapons cannot guarantee the safety of soldiers. Thank you for your support of the Luo Jinwei Military Base! You can go and collect the fee now."
With a wave of his hand, he signed the bidding contract.
Sig happily took the contract and went out, and soon more people lined up outside to come in.
I vaguely heard a familiar line of speech: "Hello, I am Will, the head of the bidding department of Rockinway Military Base. You are the staff of Cobra Armed Nation, right? Please take a seat. Your M24 sniper rifles have passed professional testing and evaluation, and the soldiers are very satisfied with the quality of your batch of firearms..."
Pure NPC, you?
I don't know how many times I tell others this every day.
Zhang Ailun wanted to complain and took a look at the contents of the contract. There was $1200 million in military expenditures, and one of the larger projects involved was clay explosives.
Although the detailed amount is not written above, only the transaction settlement amount of 350000, a quick calculation will give the result. They must have been trying their best to increase the price.
How much? $450 million? What are you going to blow up that would cost that much?
Wait, 75 kilograms of dynamite? Is this made of gold clay or silver clay?
Then the military district would say: You little bastard, don't touch the warlord's cake! If you turn one more page, we will send you to see your grandmother!
Sig took the contract to the finance department for settlement. The staff carefully checked it, calculated the amount, and filled in a string of numbers. He opened the safe and revealed stacks of green US dollars inside, at least $900 million in cash!
But not much belongs to them.
"Hello, the total transaction amount is 350000 US dollars, please check it."
The military district also uses cash transactions. Sig counted the amount and put it into his handbag. The weight of $35 was still heavy.
Zhang Allen glanced at the receipt, $350000, but the signature was not from the Rockinway Military Base, but from a department he had never heard of. But the gun store's credit points undoubtedly increased again!
Without staying here for too long, Zhang Ailun asked the staff to lead the way, found his escort vehicle and the sand truck in the parking lot, collected his equipment, and left the military base.
Halfway through the journey, he took out $35 in banknotes, kept $30 for himself, and gave $ to Sig, asking him to share it with others.
"Thank you boss!"
Sig beamed.
The total net worth of the chief leader has reached a terrifying amount of 96 US dollars.
Counting the profits from Sanji Bar and the revenue from the recycling station, he is already a real millionaire!
After distributing the money to the Beggars' Sect disciples, the chief leader was in a good mood, but he did not forget to pick up the 26 US dollars!
