Chapter 368 Good Deal
Chapter 368 Good Deal
Why Gao Yi was so sure that the corpse with makeup was Fen Feng? The reason was very simple. If Fen Feng had any other way out, he would not have dragged seven helicopters to be buried with him.
To put it another way, Foehn had no right to drag six British helicopters to be buried with him.
Wearing makeup is a daily routine for an agent, so it is normal for Feng Feng to maintain a disguise for a long time in order to hide his true identity.
"Hey, here to do the autopsy."
"I know. We'll go right away. Clean up the scene and put on a little show. Don't make things too difficult for our allies."
"clear."
Gao Yi hung up the phone with Jolson and called Glass.
"It's done. Do you want to send someone to drive us away?"
"I know. Wait a moment. The people from the embassy are coming over. You can exchange fire from a distance. Also, make those French people leave quickly. The way they celebrate is really annoying. Also, drive your car away. It will be difficult for us to deal with a carload of missiles."
"You saw it all."
"Of course, live broadcast, I have the full video here, you can send a copy to your old lover in France, let her be happy too, and it will help her."
Glass thinks a lot, but it must be admitted that he is really thoughtful.
Gao Yi smiled and said, "Okay, send it back to me later."
After hanging up the phone, Gao Yi waved to everyone and said loudly: "Everyone, start evacuating along the prepared passages. Don't run around, or you will be blocked."
The Pentagon watched everything, but it also had to save its face, so it had to mobilize fighter jets and helicopters to stage a grand show.
Someone has to take the blame.
Now AceAce has become a treasure, but it's a pity that AceAce was also killed in the battle. But it doesn't matter, as long as we can catch a few people who had contact with AceAce in the past, it's like a rich mine has been dug up and refined, but even if there are some slag left, we can still make something out of it.
Now the only thing Gao Yi needs to clean up is the truck with missiles.
Gao Yi called Shaman.
"Thank you, brother. Those things are crucial."
"Are they useful? I mean, are those things useful?"
“Very useful!”
Gao Yi was happy to speak well of and advertise his own arms.
"No misses, all hits, the effect is amazing, it's no worse than the Stinger and Northwest, or even better. Big brother, what do we do with the rest?"
Shaman said quickly: "Deal with it yourself, don't even think about sending it back to me, just don't let those things have anything to do with me."
"Okay, then I'll sell it."
"It's up to you. The price we buy in bulk is $50,000 per set. You can handle it as you see fit."
One hundred and twenty missiles only cost six million US dollars. To Sharman, saying a few more words about this six million would be a waste of words, thoughts and energy.
As for the hidden costs of purchasing this batch of missiles, does Shaman care about this?
Gao Yi waved to the bearded man who had just said he wanted to buy missiles.
The bearded man came up to Gao Yi and said nothing, just looking at Gao Yi silently.
Gao Yi whispered, "Didn't you want to buy missiles just now? How many do you want?"
"We only need twenty sets."
The bearded man was ashamed.
Twenty sets was the limit of what he could buy. Thinking about what he had just said about taking up all of Gao Yi's remaining missiles, he regretted what he had said.
But the problem is, there are seven helicopters in total. Who the hell would be stupid enough to prepare more than a hundred missiles?
Are you treating missiles as fireworks for fun? Even if you have money to burn, you can't do that.
There were only twenty sets, and Gao Yi was a little disappointed. He thought he would get his money back, but he didn't expect that he could only get a fraction of it.
"Twenty sets... OK, what's the market price?"
The bearded man asked in a negotiating tone, "How about $150,000 per set? This is the price of a needle-S on the black market. Do you think it's okay?"
Portable air defense missiles are very special.
Most of the time, portable air defense missiles are given as free aid, rather than something that can be easily distributed on the arms black market.
The Stinger anti-aircraft missiles provided by the Americans to Afghanistan caused the Soviets a lot of trouble. Most of the Soviet planes shot down in Afghanistan were caused by Stinger missiles.
Then the Needle-type portable air defense missiles provided by the Russians to Iraq also caused great trouble to American aircraft.
The only function of anti-aircraft missiles is to shoot down airplanes, and obviously, the guerrillas do not have airplanes and cannot afford to use them, so the armies that actually use portable anti-aircraft missiles on a daily basis are definitely not those big and powerful countries, nor are they occupying forces with air superiority.
Therefore, the price of portable air defense missiles on the black market is very high, and the larger the quantity, the higher the price, which is completely different from other arms.
Now Shaman gave Gao Yi this batch of air defense missiles, which is definitely the largest batch in the past ten years. Being able to get twenty sets of air defense missiles at once means that an airport somewhere will be in big trouble.
When selling arms, one has to consider the political consequences. If Russia is behind Sherkin, then he obviously doesn't need to spend money to buy anti-aircraft missiles, as Russia provides them itself.
If it has nothing to do with Russia, where else would anti-aircraft missiles be needed, and what force could take up these missiles? It's a bit interesting, but hard to guess.
Selling it to the bearded man means selling it to Sherkin. What does Sherkin want to do with the missiles?
It would be fine if more than 100 sets of missiles were given to Sherkin. He might resell them, but only 20 sets are needed, and the price is 150,000 US dollars per set. There is no profit in reselling them. So they can only be used in Iraq, and if used in Iraq they can only be used to shoot down American planes. Then the problem arises.
Gao Yi and Glass are in the same boat now. If twenty sets of missiles suddenly appeared in the area under Glass's jurisdiction and shot down a few American planes, Gao Yi would not care, but Glass would not be able to bear it.
You always have to think more about your partners.
Gao Yi sighed regretfully and said, "Twenty sets, too few, let's just forget it."
The bearded man also had a look of regret on his face. There was nothing he could do. He didn't have enough capital and didn't have the financial strength to buy up Gao Yi's inventory.
Both parties felt a little regretful, but the bearded man wanted to give it one last try, so he said helplessly: "Don't consider retail at all?"
"Retailing is too troublesome. You know, the after-sales service of air defense missiles is very troublesome. The price of $150,000 per set is too low compared to the after-sales risks."
Gao Yi didn't know much about the arms market, especially the market for anti-aircraft missiles, but that certainly didn't stop him from using a few terms, and they were absolutely correct terms, to fool people.
Gao Yi's casual perfunctory reply had some effect. The bearded man whispered, "In fact, we are just reselling and making a little money... What if the customer does not require after-sales service?"
"How to say?"
"We need to maintain a long-term customer. The customer entrusted us to buy a batch of air defense missiles, but this thing is really hard to buy. However, the customer only asked to buy 20 sets. They can't afford more than that."
The bearded man didn't seem to have any intention of keeping the client's secrets; he just wanted to make the deal happen, so after hesitating for a moment, he decided to make a final attempt.
"Customers don't have the opportunity to request after-sales service."
The bearded man seemed to have made up his mind. He knew what was most important in an arms deal, and he also knew what an arms deal that could change the situation in the region meant.
Therefore, the bearded man still wants to make this deal happen.
"The client is Hamos. They are willing to spend five million dollars to buy twenty sets of portable air defense missiles. We won't make a penny. The five million is all yours. We are just acting as a matchmaker. Do you think this is okay?"
Gao Yi looked at the bearded man in surprise and asked, "Why doesn't Russia sell it?"
The bearded man just laughed dryly and said nothing.
Gao Yi exhaled and said, "One hundred thousand per set. I'll give it all to you. I won't take care of the delivery or after-sales service. If you want them, go drive and take all the missiles away. If you don't want them, forget it. I'll ask Sherkin to pay me later."
The bearded man was stunned for a moment, then he whispered, "Can I ask?"
"You ask."
The bearded man stepped aside. He should have called Sherkin to ask if the deal could be done.
The bearded man said a few words, then he returned to Gao Yi and handed the phone to him.
Gao Yi held the phone and said, "Hello."
"You want a price of $100,000 per set, which means you just want to get rid of these missiles and don't care about the price, right? In this case, I can help you with this, a total of $10 million, I will pay later, if you agree, it's a deal."
Ten million US dollars, one hundred and ten missiles, not even a fraction.
Gao Yi said without hesitation: "Eleven million."
"Hey man, I'm here to help you solve a problem. Ten million..."
"Twelve million."
"You are like this..."
"One thousand and three..."
"Twelve million!"
Gao Yi didn't say anything. Sherkin exhaled and said, "Let my people take the stuff away. I'll give you the money right away. It's 12 million. Just guarantee that I can ship the stuff out of Iraq. This condition is not excessive."
"make a deal!"
I don't know how much Sharman cost, probably $50,000 for a set of missiles, but the shipping cost would be tens of millions, which is very likely.
Gao Yi immediately sold it for 12 million, but the price was not important. Disposing of this batch of missiles was really getting rid of a trouble.
The reason why Gao Yi wanted to sell it is very simple, because any weapons sold to Hamos would not be provided with after-sales service or transportation.
How to transport the missiles in is Hamos's own ability. In a completely occupied city, getting any weapons is Hamos's ability.
The bearded man took the phone and listened to a few words. Then he quickly put on a smile and said to Gao Yi, "Then I'll go drive away."
"Go ahead, the missiles are yours, but don't use them in Iraq. If you use them in Iraq and something goes wrong, it's your own fault."
The bearded man nodded, turned around and ran away with a smile on his face.
You can tell from his expression that this bearded man feels he's made a good deal.
Gao Yi also felt that he had made a good deal.
