The Strongest Arms Dealer

Chapter 44: : Building is worse than buying, and buying is worse than renting.

Glusevsky Avenue.

A cafe named "Dieukraine", which is a traditional shop in Ukraine for nearly fifty years, is ridiculous to say that it was opened by a German. This string of German translations reads, "Ukraine is supreme!"

There are very few people in the store, and the little waitress with freckles in front of the counter wipes the cup with a paper towel, but her eyes often look towards the west corner of the store, where there are several tables of customers, four or five burly men in suits sit On the outside, an Asian man was sitting at a table inside, holding a cup of coffee, staring at the street in a daze.

Jingle Bell…

The wind chime hanging at the door rang, and the waitress hurriedly recovered and subconsciously shouted: "Welcome."

Two men in windbreakers walked in, one of them seemed to have a slight injury to his right foot, and he walked with a slight limp.

"Hey, Ivan."

The waitress saw the Asian stand up with a smile on her face and raised her hand to say hello, and she helped them pull the chair away, and motioned to her, "Two lattes."

"Please wait."

Tang Dao looked at Andreyevich, and the two looked at each other, and the latter immediately understood, and hurriedly introduced: "Joseph Dostoevsky."

The introduction was very simple, but Tang Dao knew that this guy must be the spokesperson of a certain department of the Air Force, and this was a real job.

You know, after the disintegration of the Soviet Union, Ukraine inherited 35% of the power of its big brother. In addition to strategic weapons, it is only the air force, which abruptly pushed Ukraine to the third place in the world and the first place in Europe!

At that time, the Ukrainian Air Force had about 50,000 people, and it consisted of 1 Air Force Command and 3 Air Force Group Armies, 6 Il-76 transport aircraft regiments, 1 air refueling aircraft regiment and an air transport team.

In addition, the Ukrainian Defense Force has 30,000 people, organized into an air defense group army, 9 anti-aircraft missile and some anti-aircraft rocket units, as well as radar and radio technical units.

It is mainly equipped with 102 medium-range bombers; 240 fighter-bombers, 340 fighter planes, 87 reconnaissance planes, 35 electronic warfare planes, and 850 trainer planes.

The local tyrants who were alive and well were scourged by themselves and became the second in the Argentine Air Force. Later, when they got dirty with their big brother, only the Su-27 was beaten into a sieve alone in the air, and the total number was less than thirty.

All these properties were sold out by them in just a dozen years.

Therefore, Tang Dao believes that the people in the Air Force have the most fun.

"Nice to meet you, Mr. Joseph." Tang Dao relaxed his face, trying to maintain the demeanor that a businessman should have.

In fact, Joseph did not say a word as soon as he came in, and he just looked at Tang Dao. He had seen too many interested people who wanted the goods, but they couldn't afford the money. To put it bluntly, he was poor and wasted his time. The suit on his body looked extravagant. Most importantly, the bodyguard sitting next to him could feel the explosive power hidden under the suit with his gaze.

In the United States, the hourly salary of a qualified and excellent bodyguard is: $700!

This is not the top level. Joseph remembered that when a big man came, he was accompanied by 20 professional bodyguards from CACI. He heard that the hourly salary alone was close to 110,000 US dollars!

Therefore, in Joseph's mind, those who can afford bodyguards are theoretically not short of money, and his attitude towards rich people is naturally good, "It's nice to meet you too, Mr. Nicholas, I heard Ivan tell you It’s amazing to be able to save a fortune in the United States.”

Instead, Tang Dao was stunned, and looked at Andreevich in surprise. The latter was lowering his head slightly and blinking at him. , the other party must have touted him commercially to a certain extent.

Who the **** said Maozi has a straight head?

This is very flexible.

Tang Dao took it, waved his hand, and disguised himself as a rich second generation, "These are just my grandfather's skills, and I am only responsible for spending money." After he finished speaking, he put his left hand on the chair, This gesture seems to say, I have a showdown.

Rich second generation?

Andreevich was stunned, and Joseph was overjoyed.

"I opened a foreign trade company myself. I need a large transport plane. I heard that you have goods here, so..." Tang Dao spun a circle with his right index finger in mid-air, and made a haha.

"That is, we have transport planes here, which one do you want, Mr. Nunlass?"

"An-12! The young fox is pretty good." Joseph nodded and replied. The nickname given by NATO was still nice. He pulled off his windbreaker, as if he was going to cover what he said, and lowered his voice, "Our quotation An-12 is 3.5 million US dollars."

$3.5 million?

The corners of Tang Dao's eyes twitched slightly, and he wanted to flip the table on the spot.

When you are a veteran, have you never seen the world?

If you go through formal channels, these prices are definitely enough, and even organizations or countries are rushing to ask for it, but he is here for a private transaction, and he has to sell such a high price. Does he have a silly X written on his forehead?

The conversion of 3.5 million U.S. dollars into RMB is about 28 million.

When Paulette Airlines later went bankrupt, it once auctioned 6 An-124s, with an average transaction price of around 890,000 US dollars.

Of course, Joseph was asking the price blindly. He wanted to kill him, but he noticed something wrong with Tang Dao's face. He was about to say a few polite words when he saw the latter knock on the table with his finger and stretched out his finger, "700,000 US dollars, I I can give you a Swiss bank check right now."

Cut 4/5 directly.

Joseph opened his mouth to refuse, but was stunned by Tang Dao's next sentence, "Sir, Ukraine is crazy now, besides you, I can find a few more companies willing to sell it to me at a low price, and their price must be even higher." It’s affordable, these transport planes are moldy in the warehouse, it’s better to do something useful, if you agree, I can buy two An-12s.”

Tang Dao is right, Ukraine can't afford to eat anymore!

Why can't the plane move? All aviation oil was stolen and sold, and a small part was even drunk. Under such circumstances, the plane is more of a decoration.

"This..." Joseph said this to him in his heart, but he hesitated.

"I can do another business with you." Tang Dao was planning to stalk the other sheep, "You have Il 76, right?"

Joseph frowned, "Mr. Nicholas, do you have an idea?"

The Il-76 is currently the most successful heavy-duty transport aircraft, capable of radiating the entire African continent. Most importantly, it is too expensive. The average family costs 18 million US dollars. Tang Dao also wants it very much, but he has no money in his pocket.

But what is the saying?

It is better to buy than to make, and it is better to rent than to buy.

This is what he thought, rubbing his hands, thick-skinned, "Can I rent it? It's half a million dollars a month, and if you buy it out, you have to sell it at a price 20% lower than the market price. how do I?"

Andreevich was dumbfounded when he listened on the sidelines.

Has the arms business turned into a leasing business?

But to be honest, he is also tempted by this business. It costs half a million dollars a month, and he doesn't have to do anything. It's exciting to think about it.

If Tang Dao is coming, he will make a big deal, set up all the air routes, and try to strengthen his power before other arms dealers get up. Anyway, in Ukraine, what can’t you buy?

As long as they have money, these capitalist-roader **** are willing to sell this country. The self-interested face is disgusting, but Tang Dao likes it, even if the old man pulls old debts in the future, he is willing.

"This... I have to report it." Joseph didn't dare to make a decision.

"Of course, I have to go to the army to look at the goods. After all, they are also poor. I have to give them some warmth and let them feel the taste of capitalist dollars." Tang Dao looked at the old-fashioned watch, "It's almost noon , I've already ordered lunch, let's go together."

It's a great deal to have a free lunch.

When he went back, he could only eat canned food with those big-headed soldiers. He nodded with a happy expression, "Thank you very much."

Pressing Franklin on the table, the group walked out of the cafe side by side.

The waitress looked at the dollar bill, her eyes lit up, and she skillfully stuffed the money into her boots. After packing up the things, she returned to the counter, acting as if nothing had happened.

Anyway, the boss is not here, he is busy moving bricks at the Ukrainian construction site to subsidize the family.
