Chapter 819 Mysterious Guest
Just as the mouse was bickering with Alamion, the wall clock inlaid with various diamonds went to 8:30 p.m.
When several directors' faces showed impatience, Chairman George? Clooney was late under the escort of two capable bodyguards.
Seeing the tall white man walking into the conference hall with a thick cigar in his hand, the mouse's eyes flashed. He was very afraid of the mysterious chairman.
Because Clooney is from the United States, Miami, the world's largest underground arms market. It is said that this person was once the largest underground arms dealer in Miami and has a close relationship with many U.S. arms companies and even U.S. [***] teams.
Such a chairman with an 'American background' is undoubtedly abominable in the underground arms black market. Not because Clooney is from the United States, but because of Clooney's strength, he can get many advanced weapons in active service in the United States. In the underground arms black market, whoever has more advanced weapons channels in his hands is the boss.
For conventional ordinary arms, the underground black market is the buyer's market, and for those ** and advanced weapons, the underground black market is the seller's market. Ordinary people are not qualified to buy at all. Don't think that it's really okay to have money. This is a world with its own rules.
Clooney's brown eyes turned around and looked at everyone in the conference hall like a scanner. He waved his hand to the bodyguard behind him to go out. When others saw this, they also ordered their guards to go outside.
The following conversation is likely to involve secrets. For arms dealers, no one can trust, even if it is a bodyguard to protect their lives.
"Everyone is here. It's very good." Clooney's eyes paused on the mouse's face for a second, then nodded and smiled.
This opening sentence has changed the faces of several directors. Some people are wary of what is being discussed at today's meeting and whether it will be dangerous.
"Let your friends come here today for a very important thing. A huge cake that may involve billions of dollars has appeared. I'm talking about every year." Clooney took a sip of a cigar and said calmly after spitting out a cigarette ring.
The mouse noticed that when Clooney was talking, his left hand was used to stretching five fingers, as if he was grasping something.
Clooney's words made several directors in the conference hall look green. As almost the world's top underground arms dealer, no one is short of money, but no one hates money. Even for those damn US dollars and euros, they racked their brains to deal with many forces to create contradictions and create wars, in order to The 'cheap arms' in hand are sold out in exchange for a large amount of money and diamonds.
As far as the mouse knows, many underground arms dealers live in luxury villas of tens of millions of dollars, but are busy for a week for tens of millions of orders.
Arms dealers are very rich. Even if they are just an agent, the benefit they get every year is an astronomical figure, not to mention that many agents are still running their own arms business.
This is a group of hidden upstarts. They are not stingy. They like to squander a lot of money earned by their lives. They don't know what to save. Once they have a business, each of them can become an emotionless shark and rush to grab their own food.
The 'billion-dollar cake a year' in Clooney's mouth. Undoubtedly, it was a shot of chicken blood, and several directors were shaken with excitement like a sieve.
A director from the United Kingdom couldn't help rubbing his hands and asked extremely vulgarly, "Chairman, have you received an order from a certain country?"
In the underground arms black market, customers are not only those gangsters and various non-political armed groups, but also those countries subject to international sanctions. The country's economic strength and armed forces are undoubtedly strong and have strong purchasing power. However, due to political factors, it is difficult for some sanctioned countries to buy satisfactory arms. In this way, the role of the underground arms black market is highlighted.
As long as you have money, I can prepare an aircraft carrier battle group for you!
This is what a well-known underground arms dealer often says to those big customers.
The director from the United Kingdom feels that billions of trade every year, who has such strength besides the country? Even countries are those powerful countries, which are only a few in the world.
A considerable number of directors also agree with the British director. They all think that Clooney has found a national customer and can't eat it, so he is willing to take out this 'deute cake' and share it with everyone.
Some directors have even calculated in their minds how many good things they have in their hands, and whether the inventory is enough to share the largest piece in this feast. If not enough, is it necessary to urgently mobilulate a batch?
At the beginning, the mouse also thought that Clooney had found a national customer. Such a thing is not uncommon in the underground black market, but ordinary national customers will not have such a large purchasing power. The mouse screened the countries he knew with such purchasing power in his mind, but felt that none of them were in line with what Clooney said.
If it's just a multi-billion-dollar order, the mouse believes, but with such a large trade volume every year, the level is not simple. Even those military powers in the world today don't have billions of dollars to buy arms every year.
"Chairman, I don't think we are here to listen to jokes." Just then, a strange tone came from the mouse, and it was the director Alamion from South Africa.
Alamien was born in South Africa, and South Africa's racial policy has lasted for many years. As a black man, Alamion is born with little affection for white people, even if the other party is the chairman.
He also realized that Clooney's big cake was definitely not a national order, and it was impossible for a country to spend billions of dollars on the arms black market every year.
Perhaps he didn't want to look at Cloone's pretentious attitude, Alamion was provoked.
People who can become the chairman of the underground arms alliance will naturally not be angry with one sentence. Clooney even looked at Alamien with admiration.
"This is not a national order, but I can also guarantee that what I said is true." Clooney seemed to be going to pinch it, and what he said was not detailed.
"Don't worry, everyone. Before talking, I want to introduce two friends to you. If you allow me, I will let them in." Clooney said with a smile on his face.
You don't know why Clooney has to introduce 'friends' to you at this time. But those who can sit here are all shrewd people, and it soon became clear that the person who came was likely to have something to do with the 'big cake' in Clooney's mouth.
For a moment, the door of the conference hall was pushed open, and a Clooney bodyguard came in with two men. More than a dozen examining eyes looked over and carefully looked at where the people were.
The mouse is no exception. Two men in his eyes, a tall but thin white man, saw this person, the mouse's eyes shrank, and he recognized this person. I believe that other directors will not be unfamiliar with this person.
Because this thin and tall white man is the famous Victor? Bout, a legendary arms dealer.
Without me, some countries can't fight a war at all. There is a basic arms trade in the world: white is legal, black is illegal, and my favorite color, gray.
This sentence is Bout's 'famous saying'. He once controlled the arms trade in Africa, the Middle East and Afghanistan. It was not until the beginning of this century that Bout's influence in the underground arms black market was gradually squeezed down by the rising stars of all sides.
This is a cunning fox. Many people believe that the shrinking of the arms transportation and sales network controlled by Bout is entirely because he himself realizes that this situation continues, offending not only his peers, but also many people. His strength alone is not enough to fight against the world, so taking out part of the market has become his way to protect himself.
Seeing Bout, the rumor circulating in the underground arms black market that the 'Bout' who was arrested in Thailand was just a stand-in was confirmed. Bout in front of him, some people present have had had had sex with him, belonging to the kind of people who could be known.
"My God, it turned out to be Bute..." At first, the director from England couldn't help exclaiming when he saw the tall and thin white man.
He comes from the United Kingdom and naturally knows Bout, a legendary arms dealer. He also knows that what happened in Thailand last year was entirely because Britain, the United States and other countries felt that Bout's use value was gone, so under the push of the secret forces of all parties, he was exposed in a Southeast Asian arms deal in Thailand. He was later arrested by the Thai authorities.
The mouse also looked at the 'legend' for a long time, because Star Group's current arms transportation and smuggling network in Africa is a market blank area left by this person. In a sense, he is tantamount to 'rob' Bute's business.
Then his eyes turned to another person, a Middle Easterner. Although the other party did not wear that kind of 'representative dress' Arab robe, the mouse who often dealt with Middle Easterners was sure at a glance that the other party was an Arab.
This Arab is not very old, about 30 years old. In the conference hall, he is young, about the same age as the mouse himself. Such a 'young man' can be deliberately introduced to everyone by Clooney. In addition to his unnatural ability, he has a strong background. The mouse thinks that the most likely is the second.
I don't know which organization this Arab represents? The mouse narrowed his eyes and thought to himself.
