Chapter 1175: All Weapons Prohibited from Sale
Broker Curtis is not an arms dealer in the strict sense.
He introduces buyers to sellers, finds sources of goods for buyers and introduces sellers to them. He does not sell arms directly, but earns a 2% referral fee.
As long as the two parties reach a deal, his 2 points will be credited to his account.
This requires powerful channels and connections. Curtis thrived thanks to his connections and was hailed as the strongest broker in the arms industry.
Hong Kong Airport.
Curtis, dressed in a suit and tie, strode out, followed closely by his blonde secretary with a supermodel figure, who answered calls from time to time and then gave reports.
"Tell him it's impossible, no company will take their order."
"Boss, this is our old friend."
"My friend, that's it. No one can help him buy a Storm fighter at this price. OK?"
"But……"
"Do you want to submit your resignation?"
“…”
He walks with the wind, and even when he is in the car, he is always dealing with business matters.
Brokers are very busy and will not miss any useful information. The strongest brokers are even busier and need to constantly filter out any useful information.
"Hello, Mr. Curtis."
"Hey, Mr. Hua... Wait a minute, I have a call."
Before he could say a word, Curtis picked up the phone again.
"Hey, my old friend, 5 million rounds of ammunition have been shipped by sea. I'll be keeping an eye on it here. Don't worry, there will be absolutely no problem."
After hanging up the phone, he looked at President Hua with a smile on his face.
"Mr. Hua, are you sure this is a business worth tens of billions of dollars?"
"Yes, even more. Our boss needs extra firepower."
"Haha, so I really want to meet your boss. Even if this deal doesn't go through, I can still make friends, right?"
"Yes, we'll be there later."
“…”
20 minutes later, the hillside villa area.
As soon as he got off the car, Curtis received another call.
"Dear Mr. Smith, I advise you not to touch the orders from the Plateau Continent, because the business there is not yours to get involved in... I know this order of 12 Black Hawk attack helicopters is a big one, but that's the territory of the Doves of Peace. If nothing goes wrong, it's fine. If something goes wrong, no one can protect you. OK?"
As soon as he hung up the phone, the secretary hurried forward.
"Boss, there's a problem with the K9 order from the Western Continent. It's been seized by customs."
"Shit! Call Mr. Morgan immediately and give him whatever price he asks for. We must ensure that this batch of goods is safely delivered to the buyer."
"Yes, sir."
“…”
Lu Xiaoqi heard Curtis's conversation with his secretary clearly. He looked at him carefully and a contrast suddenly emerged in his mind.
Huo Gou is just a street vendor, while Curtis is more like an arms dealer.
"Mr. Curtis, this is our boss, Mr. Su."
"Boss, this is the world-renowned Mr. Curtis. There's nothing he can't handle."
After entering the room, Mr. Hua introduced both parties and stood aside to serve.
"Hey, Mr. Su, I'm Curtis, nice to meet you."
"Nice to meet you, too, Mr. Curtis."
Facing Curtis's outstretched right hand, Lu Xiaoqi did not put on airs. He shook hands with the other party and then sat down one after another.
"Ding-ling-ling..."
The secretary's cell phone rang again.
"Turn it off." Curtis said dissatisfiedly.
"Boss, it's Mr. Robert calling." The female secretary said in a low voice.
Hearing this, Curtis gave Lu Xiaoqi an apologetic smile and reached out to take the phone.
"Hey, Mr. Robert, please be patient. The goods you requested should arrive at the port on time at 10 o'clock in the evening. You will not be delayed in using them..."
I answered the phone for several minutes, and only turned off the phone after confirming everything.
"Mr. Su, I'm really sorry, but this was not my intention. Please forgive me." Curtis was very polite and apologized very courteously.
This attitude greatly benefited Lu Xiaoqi, and made him more convinced that this was the way to do big business.
"Mr. Curtis, there's no need to be polite. Business is always very busy, which is understandable." Lu Xiaoqi said with a smile.
"Thank you! So, how about we talk? Don't worry, my phones are all turned off. I treat every business deal with utmost sincerity, because you are my bread and butter."
Be honest, reasonable and realistic; that's how you should treat your parents.
Whoever can make him money will be treated with courtesy; whoever can make him a lot of money will be invited to take a twenty-hour flight to come here in person.
"I need various types of missiles, including but not limited to ballistic missiles, cruise missiles, etc. In addition, I also need dozens of armed helicopters and so on."
A list was placed on the table.
Curtis picked it up and glanced at it, a smile on his face.
"No problem, but I don't sell arms."
"What did you say?"
"I don't sell arms!"
Lu Xiaoqi's expression changed, and he turned around and stared at President Hua coldly.
What he wanted was weapons, but the person who took over refused to sell him weapons. He was fooled again!
"Mr. Su, please be patient," Curtis said. "I don't sell weapons, but I can introduce you to someone who does."
"What I want is weapons!" Lu Xiaoqi said coldly.
"Haha, Mr. Su must be a very successful person, but he probably doesn't have much exposure to the arms industry." Curtis laughed. "Let me put it this way, you can't buy the weapons on the list at all. Even if someone is willing to sell them to you, you'll never receive them because they are all banned weapons."
He glanced at the other person's face and reached back.
The secretary immediately took out a cigar box, took out a cigar from it, and handed it to him along with the cigar cutter.
"The weapons you want are enough to start a large-scale war and easily wipe out a small country. According to the weapons convention established by the World Arms Association, transactions of this scale must be declared. Otherwise, it is prohibited and will be severely punished by the association."
"You probably don't know this, but 50% of global weapons sales are in the hands of major arms companies, and the other 50% are in the hands of associations. If you just need weapons that can't fly, I can get you as many as you want, even hundreds of tanks."
"But once it comes to flying weapons, you have to abide by the association's rules. So you can't buy them at all, because only ground warfare can consume a steady supply of weapons."
Snap!
Curtis skillfully cut the cigar, leaned back on the sofa, took a puff, and looked at the fat sheep in front of him with a smile.
"How can I buy it?" Lu Xiaoqi stared at him.
"I'm responsible for introducing business and will get a 2% commission." Curtis held up two fingers.
When you say this, the meaning is clear.
“I’ll give you 3%!”
"The association is very strict in punishing those who break the rules."
“4%!”
“I will make some money, but I will never make some money because I’m afraid I’ll make it but not live to spend it.”
“10%!”
"make a deal!"
Curtis stood up with a smile and extended his right hand again.
"I don't sell arms, but I can arrange for you to talk to the arms tycoon in person, bypassing the association's supervision, and it's 10% cheaper than purchasing through normal channels."
"I will never let you suffer any loss. This is my business principle. Happy cooperation?"
“It’s a pleasure to work with you!”
The two hands were clasped together tightly.
