"Haha! I got 50,000 yuan! Can we get a lot of commission this time?"
Seeing Pandit and others walking away, Vitaly stepped forward and put his arm around his brother Yuri's shoulders, threw the M16 rifle in his hand to the ground, and said with a smile: "If this continues, we will soon earn him more than a dozen dollars." Two hundred thousand!"
"Don't forget to pay the lieutenant colonel. We can only get 10% of the fifty thousand!"
Yuri pulled out a half-bundle of one hundred dollars belonging to the two brothers, with dissatisfaction written all over his face.
"Don't think so much, Yuri. Let's go get something to eat. It seems we have guests coming this afternoon."
Vitaly raised his hand and patted the dust on his body, walked to his brother and greeted him to eat, so that Yuri would not have any thoughts that he shouldn't have.
"You are a good brother and a good bodyguard, Wei, but your vision is still not enough. With our ability, we can make more money!"
Showing the half-bundle of cash in his hand to Vitaly, Yuri cursed emotionally in Russian: "This little money is nothing, it's not even enough to fit between your teeth!"
Vitaly rolled his eyes at this brother who was always greedy, held his forehead and said speechlessly: "Then what do you want to do, to do a more 'legitimate' business?"
"No, it's more 'illegal'."
Yuri arranged half a bundle of cash into a fan shape and said through gritted teeth: "Even for middlemen, such profits are too low!"
"Okay, okay, whatever you say, all I want now is a plate of cabbage and boiled potatoes."
Looking at his dissatisfied brother, Vitaly patted Yuri on the shoulder worriedly and said, "It's great to make money like this now. With the lieutenant colonel as our backend, there's no danger at all!"
"Just wait and see, Wei, when the business in Lebanon is almost done, it's time for us to travel around the world!"
Listening to the sound of M16 assault rifle fire coming from not far away, Yuri put five thousand dollars in his pocket and already had a plan for the future of the two brothers in his mind.
Not only Lebanon, but also Afghanistan in the Middle East is fighting the Soviet Union, his and Vitali's former homeland, and the confrontation between Iran and Iraq is an excellent stage for him to show off his talents.
The chaos in the Middle East, the warlords in Africa, and the confrontation between red and blue around the world have created a wonderful environment for a free arms dealer like him.
This is not comparable to the gang fights he had when he was still in Little Odessa, New York, so he needs his brother Vitali to change his past thinking - Yuri does not want his brother to still be a reluctant person more than ten or twenty years later. A lousy chef who gave up on opening a restaurant while he struggled to survive alone at the gunpoints and blades of various forces.
After going to a small restaurant in the city that was still operating normally for today's breakfast and lunch, the two brothers returned to the warehouse where the US military stored weapons, waiting for Lieutenant Colonel Sardon to come and collect the bill.
The lieutenant colonel was also very punctual, so punctual that Yuri had to doubt that the lieutenant colonel could be equally punctual when facing military orders from his superiors.
As an officer wearing a U.S. military uniform and large-frame sunglasses walked into the warehouse, Yuri quickly sat up from his chair and handed the heavy paper bag containing $45,000 to Lieutenant Colonel Sardon. The weight of it allowed him to get the other party's approval.
"It's a pleasure doing business with you, Mr. Olof."
The lieutenant colonel shook Yuri's hand with a black-gloved hand and did not carefully check whether the banknotes in the paper bag were correct. Because he knew that Yuri was an honest person. Even though the lieutenant colonel knew that Yuri had always been dissatisfied with the agency fee of only 10%, he believed that the other party would not risk deceiving him and the military behind him for a mere tens of thousands of dollars. .
On the one hand, for the sake of praise, and on the other hand, to allow Yuri Orlov, a talented person who is proficient in arms trading, to stay here and serve him well, Lieutenant Colonel Sardon brought some good news to the brothers.
"In the afternoon, there will be a big customer from Asia. He said on the phone that he wants to set up a mercenary unit in Lebanon to take over the task of protecting important figures and mitigating local armed conflicts, so they will need a lot of decent weapons."
"Ha, Lieutenant Colonel, in my opinion, this is simply fantastic! All the truly important figures in this country have long since died in Beirut, and the rest are just puppets! And with all due respect, the mercenaries recruited from the local area I’m afraid they are all weaklings, unless he can directly select people from the army!”
When Yuri heard that a big customer was coming, he suddenly felt a little excited, but what the lieutenant colonel said later made him somewhat disagree. You must know that this is the Middle East, not romantic Europe or stable Asia. If you build a private army in a place like this, it will take only three or two days to be completely destroyed.
However, these issues are not what he needs to think about as a middleman. Before leaving the lieutenant colonel to fly solo, according to the contract, he had the obligation and responsibility to help the U.S. military sell out the backlog of arms and weapons, and use bundles of dollars to feed those in the army. Groups dissatisfied with wages.
This is a promise Yuri made to the military in order to stand out among the numerous competitors. If it hadn't been for his unusual drive that attracted the favor of "Lieutenant Colonels Sarden", he would have been unable to get this lucrative job as a newcomer.
And even if he does not consider the possible consequences of breach of contract, in order to pave the way for the future and accumulate more experience and connections, he will not break his promise.
For Yuri Orlov now, the sooner he empties these warehouses of weapons, the sooner he can leave this country that has been completely mired in war.
And now these customers who have come to work with him will continue to be his customers in the future. As long as he can maintain this large arms trade network, he will also receive bundles and boxes of money as a reward for those who have worked hard.
However, the lieutenant colonel's gloved hand suddenly pressed on Yuri's shoulder, and his fingers squeezed his black suit that was stained with a lot of dust but was still straight.
"A peaceful Middle East is not good for you or me, but the final result is not something you and I can decide. So Mr. Orlov should concentrate on the afternoon transaction and don't think about anything that shouldn't be done."
Although Lieutenant Colonel Sardon was not interested in Yuri's "personal opinions", he did not like the tone of the other party's words, so a proper knock would be beneficial to both parties - as the white gloves of the military, Zhong The school hopes that every middleman can play the role of a puppet and never escape from its own hands.
"Well Mr. Olof, I'll see you later."
The lieutenant colonel raised his hand to adjust the sunglasses on the bridge of his nose, stared into Yuri's eyes for a few seconds, then turned and left the warehouse. With the sound of the military Humvee driving away, Yuri estimated that the other party's next visit would be after the afternoon transaction.
"This guy is still the same, mysterious."
Seeing that his brother looked a little ugly, Vitaly spat in the direction the lieutenant colonel left and said, "If we hadn't worked hard here, he wouldn't have even gotten a coin!"
Unexpectedly, Yuri did not worry about the lieutenant colonel's beating for too long, but quickly returned to his usual passion. He patted his younger brother on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Wei, tell us how much we have in stock."
"I have a hunch that a big guy will come this afternoon!"
