"sure."
At this time, the computer was turned on, and Ephraim skillfully opened the web page and said: "This website is very interesting, I call it the Federal Business Opportunity Network.
It's like eBay, but it specializes in war supplies, all ordered by the Ministry of Defense. "
"Can tanks also be sold there?" David walked over and asked in surprise.
"Man, you can buy everything here."
While controlling the web page with his mouse, Ephraim explained simultaneously: "This is the government's public website. It contains every military contract that is being tendered, ranging from hundreds of millions of dollars to several thousand dollars.
I always skip the big deals and go for the smaller deals that the big contractors don't want.
Everyone is vying for the same bread, and they easily ignore the crumbs that fall next to them. But I am a cockroach, hiding in the corner where the predators can't see, picking out these crumbs to attack.
And when the loaf of bread is a Pentagon, the falling crumbs are larger and more tempting to eat.
As long as you are willing to look for such a list, you can always find it on this website. The predators can eat enough meat, and we can also drink soup. "
Ephraim said with great joy, obviously he had figured out this way.
However, although it sounds so simple, in fact there are many problems to overcome in operation, and it is not as easy as it seems on the surface.
Long Zhan asked curiously: "This is obviously a very complete market. Even if there are bread crumbs falling, someone will clear it out at the end.
Why would the Ministry of National Defense be willing to buy from a small arms dealer like you? "
Long Zhan is also a supporter from the army. Although he doesn't understand what the army's procurement mechanism is, he knows a little bit about how the army purchases things.
No matter which branch of the US military, its procurement is almost independent.
Even become an independent company!
In other words, if you need anything from this company, you can submit your order. Regardless of whether it can be allocated to you, at least you have this right.
And every soldier in the army has the right to purchase anything he needs through the army.
As long as you submit the order, the army's purchasing agency will buy it for you.
Even if you can afford it and your army happens to need it, you can buy yourself a tank and use it as your personal belongings in the army.
certainly.
This is just hypothetical.
No soldier can afford a tank, and those in the army who can afford a tank do not need to pay for it themselves and can apply through normal channels.
And because of this unique talent management mechanism, all units of the US military will place orders.
A large number of arms dealers or companies that have obtained relevant qualifications and are qualified to buy and sell equipment can take these orders and complete them.
Normally.
In order to ensure the quality of items, the military will hand over orders to large military contractors, so that at least there is a basic guarantee.
It is actually difficult for a small individual arms dealer like Ephraim to get orders through normal channels.
If others see you as a small arms dealer, they may not even give you the right to bid.
That's why Long Zhan is very curious about what method Ephraim used to bypass this layer of distrust and successfully continue to get bids.
David is also curious about how Ephraim gets the order, so don't turn your attention to Ephraim.
"It's not a question of whether the Department of Defense wants to do it or not, it's a question of whether they have to do it," Ephraim said.
"Must do this?" Long Zhan didn't understand.
He knew that this involved the level of arms dealers and was a small internal rule of the industry, which laymen would definitely not understand at all.
It's like Long Zhan knows about assassination, but Ephraim doesn't understand it at all.
"Can you explain it in detail? Man, I'm very interested." David said.
"Remember when we were in middle school, Little League?" Ephraim said.
"Remember, what happened?" David said.
"At the end of the season, they always give out a Most Valuable Player award, and there's one kid who always wins, and it's given to him every time..."
"Oh, I remember, his name was Ivan Talbot," David interjected.
Ephraim continued: “Yes, that was the boy, but in the last year the other mothers started complaining and were very unhappy.
So every year in the federation, they will award a small trophy to everyone to comfort those children who cannot get the award.
Even that fat, stupid kid, Robbie Friedman, got a trophy, and it's the same thing with the Department of Defense. "
"I seem to understand, but I don't seem to understand." Long Zhan shook his head and smiled.
"The Department of Defense ran into big trouble early on when it was rebuilding the Iraqi army."
Ephraim explained: “At that time, they concentrated all the empty bid contracts on the Cheney brothers, but the brothers were later arrested.
So after that, the U.S. government launched an initiative to level the playing field.
Let every Pentagon expenditure, every gun, every bomb, and every bullet be bid by small suppliers and then supplied.
Of course, large suppliers still have a monopoly on large orders from the Ministry of National Defense.
But he will also prepare some small trophies to comfort the Robbie Freemandes of the world and achieve what he calls a fair play initiative. "
Ephraim explains in great detail and uses metaphors very well.
Long Zhan understood it from last time.
It turns out that there are so many little tricks hidden in just one U.S. government arms bid. People who are not Neihan really can’t figure it out.
Seeing that Ephraim was so proficient in the formal arms trade, which was exactly the opposite of Yuri who took a wild approach, Long Zhan became more interested in Ephraim.
If both of them could be brought under the banner, one would be responsible for taking the right path and connecting with government units.
With Long Zhan's current relationship with the Ministry of National Defense, it will be easy to get the list of the National Summit, and Ephraim will definitely be able to show off his skills.
One is responsible for taking the wild route and dealing with those shady arms deals.
Or they can sell the weapons and equipment obtained from the official route through the wild route at a higher price to countries that have imposed military sanctions.
In the arms business of the Titan Company, there are no barriers to gunfights.
It’s a perfect match!
David also understood what Ephram meant and said in disbelief: "In other words, you are that fat, stupid little brat?"
"Brother, I am the fattest one and the most retarded one, but I made money, hahahaha." Ephraim let out his unique laugh again.
David thought he was no dumber than Ephraim, and he was completely moved by the thought that Ephraim could make a lot of money.
