America: Starting with Daily Intelligence-Chapter 324 - 186: Vehicle Delivery_2

Last time, the boss of Armed Nation sneaked some personal goods in with a batch of common armaments, but he definitely made far more than $20,000 from it.

Anyway, they don’t spend much money on hiring security personnel, signing contracts with PMC companies at around $85 per hour. Hiring scattered teams costs $60 per hour, compensate a few thousand dollars in case of accidents, and if there’s no accident, it’s all profit.

Mercenaries and security staff are literally trading their lives for money. Even the people from Black Water Company, the outstanding mercenaries can only make tens of thousands of dollars a month.

Most mercenaries and security personnel on the battlefield can make $10,000 a month at most, definitely working over 8 hours a day, more than 200 hours a month, which amounts to only $45-60 per hour, constantly under the threat of explosions and bullets grazing their scalps. The key thing is, you might not even be able to receive that money, and what you get is basically a funeral benefit.

Just look at the price of mercenaries recruited by Russia and Ukraine to know that this line of work doesn’t pay well; those who have options would definitely not choose to become mercenaries.

$10,000, that’s really quite a lot.

The second-level page is for heavy weaponry, which only the special star-level Armed Kingdom can access for trade, otherwise it is grayed out and can only be viewed but not traded.

Weapons look more violent, such as armed off-road vehicles modified with tank tracks instead of tires, covered in bulletproof steel plates with spikes and gun barrels all over, bumper cars modified into armed vehicles. The weapons available for modification include the Dune FAV 40mm Grenade Launcher and the 7.62 caliber Gatling.

There’s also a military district selling an F-16 fighter jet, as well as various components and fire control equipment related to fighter planes, but their qualifications are shown in gray, indicating they are not yet qualified for the purchase transaction.

Mad, this can be sold, too?

So it has to be you all!

However, those with the qualifications to buy fighter jets indicate they have stable, long-term transactions with the military district. As long as you have official endorsement and money, what can’t you buy? If you can’t buy, it’s only because the money isn’t sufficient, or the network isn’t wide enough.

Then two black boxes were brought out, opened to reveal a classic lever-action rifle and a revolver. The boss of Armed Nation toyed with them for a bit, "These are a bit old, but still quite good for hunting, I’ll give them to you as a gift."

Next, from an office wall, a hidden door was pressed open, revealing an empty space inside. It was clear this used to be a storage area for the boss’s personal weapons and money.

"This can be used to store some everyday items, the code is 000000, using the same model of safe as the Las Vegas VIP lounge. You can reprogram the password yourselves or have a professional reinforce it with a firewall."

The boss had introduced everything he could, smiling as he said: "The initial investment for starting a regular gun store isn’t exaggerated. In some rural places, a few tens of thousands of dollars is enough to open up, and in Los Angeles, you just need to rent a storefront and pass the review for the qualifications to operate. But the most important thing is still the trade qualification."

"This two-star qualified Armed Nation might have a less desirable location, but it actually has very good profit conditions. A two-star qualification also needs to reach a transaction volume of at least half a million dollars annually with the regional officials, otherwise, it will be downgraded. This is the minimum requirement, not the maximum standard, so it’s relatively lenient."

"If you want to purchase, you need to pay me a price of $460,000 to sign the qualification transfer contract. In addition to that armored cash-in-transit vehicle, I can also throw in a small hangar in the suburbs for you."

If this price is benchmarked against the gun store’s location, it’s undeniably very ruthless. But if it’s a purchase of high-level qualifications, along with a suburban hangar, it’s obviously a very conscientious price!

Just as the boss of Armed Nation said, with some effort, you can quickly make back what you invested.

Allen Zhang and Sieg discussed on the side.

"Boss, what do you think?"

"I think it’s okay. As long as we work hard in the future, get a few more trade deals every day, we will be able to make money lying down." Allen Zhang said, "You already have $170,000 on hand, right? Keep $20,000 for daily expenses; you can put in $150,000, and the remaining $310,000, I can advance for you. Later on, purchasing firearms and ammunition, I can also invest. We will hold shares as three for you, seven for me; the gun store’s responsible person will be under your name." frёeweɓηovel.coɱ

After all, Sieg is a pure Han-Chinese, an ex-captain retired from the military.

The General Sect Leader has yellow skin, black eyes, a fifth-grade citizen, affected by the Asian Sanctions Act, and all negative buffs maxed out! Even if you ask him to sign, he wouldn’t want to.

"Okay." Sieg had no objections. He definitely couldn’t afford to buy the gun store on his own and had to rely on the General Sect Leader to step in.

Immediately stated to the boss of Armed Nation, saying briskly, "No problem. We can sign the contract right now."

Seeing their prompt decision, the boss had a lawyer beside him take out the prepared documents, two copies for their perusal.

Allen Zhang looked at the transfer contract and smiled, "You don’t mind if I have someone else look at it, do you?"

"Of course not."

The boss of Armed Nation could also tell that this was the real sponsor with money.

Allen Zhang immediately took several photos and sent them to Dave, asking for his help in reviewing them.

A few minutes later, Dave quickly sent a message: there’s no problem with the transfer contract; it is very detailed and contains no traps. But the price of $460,000 is really exaggerated. Where did you get so much money? A loan?
