Chapter 205 Agreement
In the hanger of the Taliban's secret base, Li Mo and Michael reached a tacit agreement.
The remuneration given by Omar is all owned by Li Mo, and Michael is promised by Li Mo that the arms produced by Star will be given to Michael a certain sales share.
Reaching such an agreement is not for Li Mo's greed for small advantages. Li Mo's ambition is lofty, and of course his eyes will not be similar to that of rats; he will not give up the huge arms sales interests of the Star Organization for the sake of the small interests in front of him.
In fact, Li Mo's need for fighters/attack aircraft in this batch of weapons is of little use. His Star Organization's base in Africa does not need fighter escort, and there are no pilots who can be used as fighters within the Star Organization. The most important thing is that Li Mo doesn't know any customers who can buy fighter planes!
Star Organization, in the final analysis, is an enterprise integrating R&D, production and sales. Without powerful customers, even if there are high-end products, they can't be sold.
With so many reasons, why did Li Mo reach such an agreement with Michael?
The main reason is that Li Mo wants to further deepen his relationship with Michael!
Now Li Mo, internationally, even in East Africa. They are all the behind-the-scenes leaders of a secret organization that cannot be exposed. For various reasons, the strength of the Star Organization cannot enter the real international stage now.
The Star Organization is an arms organization. If there is no contact with the outside world, it is equivalent to the death sentence of the Star Organization.
The Star Organization is like a newborn, full of curiosity and yearning for the world, but it does not have enough strength to ensure that it will not be driven down by others on the big stage of the world.
If you want to develop smoothly, the upgrading of weapons cannot be stopped, and external sales channels are also vigorously developed. But the key is here! Star Organization is a newcomer to the arms industry. Many forces have not heard of it, but they have never heard of it. Such helplessness is deeply powerless for the mouse and the poisonous snake, who are responsible for the sales of the Star Organization.
As the leader of the Star Organization, it is impossible for Li Mo not to know the current advantages and disadvantages of the Star Organization. Strengths and weaknesses.
Like the research and development of weapons. At present, we can only rely on Li Mo's perspective replication of light weapons. The scientific research talents who really belong to the Star Organization are still studying abroad in various countries in the world. When the comet R&D members play a role, it will take at least three years.
But Li Mo's expectations for the stars are very high. That is one of the world's arms giants, or even the only one. In order to achieve this goal. Li Mo hopes that the stars can develop gradually, not overnight. Lay a good foundation and strengthen your own strength and power. At that time, it will naturally come to an end.
And deepening the relationship with Michael is the first step for Li Mo to make adjustments to the stars. Modern society, whether it is the state, enterprises, or individuals. Development depends on various resources around and even around the world. If the Star Organization is still the same as before, it has always wanted to rely on itself, slowly copying production while opening up sales channels. It is undoubtedly very slow.
If you want to develop smoothly and at a high speed, you can't leave hidden dangers and shortcomings for the Star Organization. Li Mo is going to try to change one way now. That is to use other forces.
As for that, Michael took a big advantage in this agreement.
Li Mo disdained this matter. Investment is risky. But investment is also rewarding. As an outsider, Michael is optimistic about the future of the stars led by Li Mo. Start investing now. If Li Mo did not follow his wishes, he would only become an ordinary existence among all sentient beings in the end. Then Michael's investment is a failure. However, if the Star Organization really develops bigger, it is normal for Michael to make a profit from the investment.
And the key one in the agreement is to give Michael a partial sales share. These are the returns of Michael's investment at this time.
Li Mo once saw such a passage on the Internet:
First-class enterprises do culture and standards; second-class enterprises do brands and capital; third-class enterprises do products and projects.
First-class enterprises focus on culture, second-rate enterprises focus on service, and third-rate enterprises focus on quality.
First-class enterprises look at culture, second-class enterprises look at the system, and third-class enterprises look at the boss.
When Li Mo saw this passage at that time, he thought so.
At this time, the Star Organization belongs to a third-rate enterprise. It is to make products. And Michael is like an agent who has paid a deposit. The deposit paid is still non-refundable.
Li Mo knows that if the Star Organization wants to become a world-renowned arms giant, it must be like a first-class enterprise. Because the arms industry is also a component of the modern economy. Some countries, such as Russia, the entire country's exports are supported by arms and resources.
As an 'old man' who has been in the global underground arms industry for more than a decade, Michael's experience in arms sales and channels are now urgently needed by Star Organization. Therefore, in a win-win situation, Li Mo and Michael reached this agreement.
After the agreement was reached, Li Mo and Michael wanted to celebrate. After all, this is a very important turning point for Michael and Li Mo's career. But because the two are in the wrong place, this is a secret Taliban base. Judging from the speed of the fall of the Taliban regime and the time of the base, there will be no conditions to hold a celebration banquet here."Michael, I'm leaving Afghanistan tomorrow. They will be in charge of my minions here!" Out of the hanger, Li Mo said to Michael, who was walking side by side. There was a slight apology in his tone. After all, the relationship between Li Mo and Michael at this time was not like when they began to arrive in Afghanistan. At that time, the two sides were just a temporary partner, but now they are real partners. And both of them consciously deepened their relationship with each other. In the case of instant match, they have now become friends.
"Oh... That's a pity. I'm also going to invite you to wander around Afghanistan and see here. It's completely different from the outside world!" Michael was stunned by Li Mo's words, and then said regretfully. Only Michael will say that he will 'roll around' in Afghanistan. And he now knows that Li Mo is still a college student.
For Li Mo, a 'strange' college student, Michael knows very well why he left. It's nothing more than staying away from the whirlpool of Afghanistan. After all, the Taliban suddenly attacked the U.S. military stationed in Afghanistan and caused a troop battalion to lose more than half of its troops. While shocking the world, it also attracts the attention of all forces in the world here. Before the conflict between the U.S. military and the Taliban broke out again, Afghanistan was a place closely watched by various intelligence organizations. And Li Mo, a young man from China, would not be suspicious if he was in New York, the United States, but if he was in war-tated Afghanistan, it would be inexplicable.
At this time, you can't keep it secret. It may be easy to avoid the search of an intelligence organization in a country. But it is difficult to avoid the intelligence organizations of the world's major countries, even the United States.
"I'm going to Kandahar in the afternoon and will stay there for one night. Fly from Kabul to China tomorrow!" Li Mo said with a smile and asked, "Are you still here and waiting for this batch of arms to be shipped out?"
"NO! I'm also going to leave Afghanistan and prepare for Russia. There, I know a Russian general, and I want to see if I can get a batch of airborne anti-tank missiles. This is what your person in charge in Africa said at the beginning!" Of course, Michael will not stay in the undercurrent of Afghanistan. In addition, he reached an agreement with Li Mo at this time, and he also needed to show his ability again to get Li Mo's favor. In this way, you may get more shares in the arms sales organized by Xingchen in the future!
Li Mo once heard from experts report on this matter. When Michael bought the Mi-24 helicopter gunship, there were only four AT-6 anti-tank missiles. Experts believe that a helicopter with only four missiles is not enough to fully exert the strength of this helicopter. But internationally, Michael is an underground arms dealer between third-rate and second-rate arms dealer. Second-generation anti-tank missiles such as AT-6 are very rare in the underground arms trade. With his ability, it is difficult to get them. Because the demand for this kind of airborne anti-tank missile is too small in the world. A country can buy directly from Russia at the national level, while ordinary armed groups with helicopters are rare. Even if they have armed helicopters, most of them are made in the United States. The missiles used are also Dow anti-tank missiles. Therefore, Michael said at that time that the AT-6 anti-tank missile was too difficult to get and needed opportunity. Therefore, he said at that time to help get some first-generation airborne anti-tank missiles such as AT-2.
This matter has been going on for a few months. Michael has never fulfilled his promise. This deepening of his relationship with Li Mo has forced Michael to fulfill this promise.
Suddenly, Li Mo's heart moved.
Michael also has something to do with Russia. The other party turned out to be not an arms dealer, but a general. Although it is now 2004, unlike when the Soviet Union disintegrated in the early 1990s, it was very simple to get all kinds of weapons from Russia. As long as you have money, from rifles and machine guns to tanks, aircraft and missiles. Even three nuclear warheads were lost in a secret base of the Soviet Union! At that time, it was crazy. Capitalists all over the world were staring at the disintegrated former Soviet federal countries, exchanging cheap light industrial products for the heavy equipment of the former Soviet Union, and greedily plundering the property of the former Soviet Union.
Today's Russia has gradually emerged from the economic difficulties after the disintegration. Under the vigorous reform of the current Prime Minister Putin, Russia's official rule has gradually become clear. It is absolutely impossible to 'do something wrong' like in the 1990s.
But Michael met a general, and it is still possible to get some Russian retired equipment. Li Mo also has great expectations for this. If you can take this line, you can get some advanced arms from Russia in the future, which will have an incalculable effect on the development of the Star Organization!
Just as Li Mo and Michael walked out of the building hidden in the hangar, they saw the mouse rushing this way...
