From arms dealer to king of war

Qiao Jia still can't understand, what type of obsessive-compulsive disorder does that guy named Ivanovich have?

I was beaten, and after I woke up, I was eager to apologize and restore my image.

Qiao Jia couldn't find any sympathy for this kind of mental state. If it were him, knowing that he had done something stupid, in order to avoid embarrassment later, he would definitely return the holiday cabin and change it to another place that day.

But these are not things that Qiao Jia cares about, he is more interested in that man now

Because the company he works for, ‘Yug Imbert’, is Sevia’s state-owned export trading company, and its main project is arms.

Although Sevia is small and poor, it has inherited the heavy industry system of the former Yugoslavia. In terms of industrial capabilities, it is actually quite good in Eastern Europe, at least better than most countries in Afica and South America.

Qiao Jia knew about this company because he had been looking up information on the "trade routes" of the Mediterranean and the laws and regulations on arms trade in various countries during the past two days.

It was at this time that ‘Ug Imbert Company’ entered Qiao Jia’s sight.

Because Qiao Jia knew that he wanted to engage in the arms business, he could not continue to live with Ka Dazuo’s inheritance.

He learned one thing from the Egyptian Army Aviation, that is, arms are just commodities, and ‘trade’ is the core!

It is not illegal to export arms as ordinary goods. It is only illegal when the consignee is a country or individual sanctioned by the United Nations or some powerful powers. There is a lot to be done here.

Of course, Ka Dazuo's base is hidden, but if you really want to do big business, you have to find a more reliable source of goods. With the things in that base, you can only make small things in your life.

Only with a regular supply of goods can Dazuo Ka's legacy be sold out without anyone noticing.

It was at this time that a series of companies such as Steyr in Austria, FN in Belgium, EA in the Czech Republic, and Jug Imbert in Sevia came into his sight.

Of course, the first two are relatively big, and they probably don't like me, a small gun dealer, but the latter two are possible, after all, they are poor.

This thing is not as magical as everyone thinks. You can find these companies by just searching online. Their business calls are answered 24 hours a day.

As long as you are located in a country that can legally trade arms, have a legal trading company, and demonstrate the ability to pay and a convincing background check report, which is the most important 'end-user certificate' in the arms trade, they will Dare to ship to you, and it’s legal

Qiaojia developed his courage in Afica, and then took advantage of his free time in Italy to research a lot of information and found out some insider information of the industry.

You don't need to ask anyone for advice. As long as you can read and read the business process introduction of the arms company, you can know some of it.

Many people have watched the movie Lord of War, so most people think that people like Yuri are super arms dealers.

But today, more than thirty years after the collapse of the Soviet Union, it is no longer possible to become the second Yuri.

Because unless you go to war-torn areas and take risks to recycle second-hand goods, it will be difficult for you to obtain cheap arms.

Everyone knows the background of the businessmen who can really provide arms to the warring parties. For example, France supported the warring parties in Liberia, but in the end it was a mess.

In reality, people like Yuri in the movie can only do small things, or they are the legendary white gloves.

What they actually do is to take advantage of legal loopholes, or rely on the support of people behind them to illegally purchase weapons for sanctioned countries and organizations.

Of course, since the target is the subject of sanctions, the profits from doing so are extremely high.

Because ‘whatever is banned will have its price increased’ is an iron law in this world, and it is also the source of most people’s criminal impulses.

But compared to this kind of illegal trade, which is extremely risky and requires extremely high connections, there is another trade model

That is to purchase weapons for those countries or organizations that are legal but cannot get cash.

They have no money, but they have resources. Due to geopolitical or ability reasons, it is a bit difficult for them to realize their resources.

Except for those listed companies, arms companies are all entity enterprises with heavy asset investment. Most of the time, they cannot accept resource transactions because there are uncontrollable risks and the realization time is too long. Not only is capital impatient, but once the entity enterprise The capital chain is being exercised, but they cannot bear the consequences.

As a result, this situation has given rise to a group of ‘middlemen’ with international military contracting backgrounds.

You give me a premium mine or oil field, and I will find a way to monetize it. Then I will bring you the weapons you need. I can even help you fight in the early stage and help you train your soldiers.

This kind of situation is actually open to the public. If you are really interested, you can find information on this aspect. There are even documentaries.

A series of economic chains were derived from this, and the transaction volume was unexpectedly huge.

Military contractors engaged in this industry basically make a lot of money, and they can be active anywhere in the world openly.

Many defense companies in South Africa and the United Kingdom do this kind of work. Compared with the big companies in the United States that live on the lap of the Department of Defense, companies in South Africa and the United Kingdom are actually more adventurous in some aspects.

They started this kind of business decades ago, and the large-scale expansion of the mercenary business in the United States only started after the Gulf War.

Qiao Jia wants to take this path. Although he is not strong enough now and does not know whether he can go through it, let alone whether he can cope with the pressure from competitors, he feels that people should have some ambition.

Take the path of a military contractor and help some countries or organizations build armies. This kind of thing has great potential if done properly.

Originally, Choga wanted to go to Tunisia to attend a North African defense exhibition after the Mori family matter was over, and then make contact with those companies.

As a result, a person from the "Ugg Imbert Company" has appeared. Of course he wants to meet him.

For a guy with obsessive-compulsive disorder to work as an arms salesman, regardless of his actual ability, this kind of person must be very meticulous and have a good understanding of the ecology of the industry.

Niss was a little confused by Qiao Jia's decision, but the girl didn't talk nonsense. When Qiao Jia said he would take her with him, she became happy.

It doesn't matter to Kaman, as long as the boss doesn't want to quit the business and make no money, then everything the boss does is right.

After Qiao Jia watched the mother and daughter leave, he returned to the room and started checking information.

He wanted to know more about the 'Ug Imbert Company' before he could find a topic with that 'obsessive-compulsive disorder' Ivanovich

Valentina said that when Ivanovich encountered trouble in Marsala, it must have been at the port because that was the closest port to Tunisia in North Africa.

Qiao Jia now holds a ‘Mediterranean Smuggling Bible’, which contains people from Marsala Port

At that time, it will depend on the situation and decide whether to give this guy a hand. If everything goes well, he can show his strength and then get on the line with the "Yuge Imbert Company"

A small country like Sevia is just right for a small gun dealer like him.

Anyway, even if you give money as a bribe, Qiao Jia doesn't have to pay for it himself, and you can also have the opportunity to test the effect of 'smuggling Bibles', so why not?

However, when Qiao Jia found out the detailed information of ‘Yuge Imbert Company’ through searching and read it carefully, he found that he seemed to have underestimated this company.

It is completely different from Austria’s ‘Steyr’ and Belgium’s ‘FN’!
