Chapter 821 Neglected Profits

On the left and right sides of Clooney, they specially ordered each to add a chair, which was for Bute and the Arab.

The other directors were a little dissatisfied with the two people sitting above them, but when they thought of the billions of dollars worth of cake in Clooney's mouth, this dissatisfaction was cleverly ignored by everyone. However, if this 'cake' is proved to be fake or the distribution of benefits is uneven, it is very easy to be remembered again.

and Victor, who has a high forehead bone and deep in his eyes and seems to be in poor spirits? Butt is different. The Arab doesn't have an impressive beard, and he can't even see a trace of Arabic on his body. If you don't judge from the other party's skin color, you can't imagine the real origin of this person.

"Gentlemen, please allow me to introduce these two guests to you. They are the 'legends' of the underground arms black market, the super arms dealer Victor? Mr. Bute." Clooney introduced the white man to everyone with a smile, but he basically recognized Bute, so he was not very surprised by Clooney's introduction, but many people still gave enough applause to the 'legendary businessman', not to welcome the senior, but to welcome Bute may bring A large amount of benefits.

When Clooney pointed to the Arab, the directors' eyes were eager. This identity must not be inferior to Butte, but they don't know anything about it.

"Is this a distinguished guest from Dubai, Malik? Mr. Ibrahim..." Clooney paused here, as if observing the expressions of the directors. After seeing the impatience of the directors, he introduced with a little satisfaction, "I Brahim is Kadir Khan's assistant."

The sound of the Buddha in the conference hall was all absorbed by something, and the needle can be heard.

A few seconds later, more than a dozen directors stared at the Arab named Ibrahim with big eyes, and their nostrils began to blow out.

Kadir Khan, who is that? If it's an ordinary person, maybe I haven't heard of this name. But at the top of political axes in various countries, people in the scientific research community, especially in the fields related to nuclear physics, have absolutely heard of this name.

That is Pakistan's 'father of nuclear bombs' and 'father of missiles'.

Even if a Pakistani scientist developed a nuclear bomb, it would have no impact on the arms dealers present. But Kadir Khan is different. That's another 'legendary figure'.

Kadir Khan really became famous because of the 'underground nuclear supermarket' he set up himself. A 'Wal-Mart' dedicated to selling nuclear products.

Someone once described the 'underground nuclear supermarket' like this. You can directly express your needs here, and then put the goods (nuclear products) on the shelves into the cart as if you were entering a supermarket, and finally don't forget to check out when you go out.

This is the terminal link that describes Kadir Khan's underground nuclear sales network around the world. In other terms, Kadir Khan is better than another 'death businessman' Victor? Bute is much stronger. One sells conventional arms, the other sells nuclear raw materials, separators, equipment drawings, and nuclear bomb drawings, both of which are like selling eggs on the street and jewelry in Jinlou.

It is incredible that such a scientist who makes Pakistan join the world nuclear club and even surpasses Israel in international fame can become a big crocodile in the underground arms black market. But that's the truth. Kadir Khan became famous in the underground arms black market. In the past two years, his deeds spread all over the world with his house arrest by Pakistan.

Today, Kadir Khan is still under house arrest in Pakistan, but his sales network assistant in Dubai appears in the Palace of Paradise, or from Clooney with an American background. The whole thing seems so strange.

After listening to Clooney's introduction, the conference hall fell into silence, and all the directors did not know how to express the shock and slight... excitement in their hearts.

Cloney was very satisfied with the performance of the directors. He felt that the two guests brought today, especially the Kadir Khan's assistant, gave a big 'surprise' to this group of domineering directors. He liked to see the expressions of the directors, which would make him find a real 'director' feeling.

We made a gesture of invitation, and Bute and Ibrahim sat down.

"Gentlemen, the purpose of Bute and Ibrahim's guests coming here today is to talk to us about a big deal, a cooperation worth billions of dollars. I think everyone is interested, isn't it?"

The initiative of the meeting was firmly grasped by Clooney. His look and tone were extremely relaxed, not because of his identity as the chairman. That identity did not have much practical significance to the director present. What really worked was the two guests he brought, which could also be said to be the benefits he brought to everyone.

"Chairman, I don't know what kind of cooperation Mr. Bute has brought. I think I have a great interest." Alamien, the black director sitting at the head of the mouse, first broke the silence of the conference hall and asked. But he seemed to have forgotten the existence of Ibrahim, and did not mention the more 'noble' guest in his words.

In cooperation with Bout, the largest arms dealer in the underground, everyone did not have any resistance, and even held a welcoming attitude. But in cooperation with Ibrahim, many directors feel heed. After all, a considerable number of the final bosses here are related to the political axes of various countries. They have a lot to worry about participating in the underground nuclear sales network, because the smuggled sales of nuclear products are too **.

Other directors also showed a sudden realization and said that they were very interested in cooperating with Bute, and Ibrahim seemed to have been forgotten.

"Mr. Bute, would you please introduce your cooperation to us? I believe that we will not refuse any cooperation that can bring huge profits. Clooney said to Bute with a smile. At this time, he did not forget to set a small trap in his words.

"Dear directors, before talking about cooperation, let me first say a well-known figure, that is, in last year's global legal arms trade, Africa accounted for 7% of the global arms trade, while the Middle East and South America are 4% more than Africa." Bute's voice is a little hoarse, and it sounds so clear in everyone's ears, which may be the peculiarity of the benefits.

"Africa has 53 countries and two regions, with a population of nearly 800 million, the largest number of non-political armed groups in the world, the largest number of wars and conflicts in the world, and the region subject to the most international arms embargo... Here for underground arms dealers like us It is said to be a treasure basin. In our underground arms trading market, 47% of the arms flowed into Africa last year, with a total value of $1.8 billion, but this figure is far lower than the $2.65 billion flowing into the Middle East. What does this mean? It shows that we have only used a very small part of the potential of Africa's underground arms market.

In Bout's deep eye socket, his brown eyes calmly looked at the directors and said in a regretful tone, "Last year, Africa's legal arms trade reached 28 billion US dollars, and our proportion was only one in fifteenth. This number is too low. Africa is not a traditional arms procurement region, nor is it a major arms trader similar to the G8. It should be a paradise for underground arms dealers, but we turn a blind eye to it. This is a great waste and a disregard for interests.

The mouse raised his eyebrows slightly. When he heard this, he felt that something was wrong. Why did Bute target Africa as soon as he came up? This is not a good phenomenon, because it will conflict with the development of Star Group. Africa is an extremely important region in the development of the Star Group, and he has even regarded Africa as the 'scope' of the Star Group.

He glanced at the chairman sitting in the middle with his spare light. The other party was talking to Ibrahim in a low voice, and there was no strange place in his expression, but the mouse also felt that there was a deeper inside story behind tonight's meeting.

"Everyone knows my experience. I am a gray arms dealer. Most of my former clients are countries, and most of them are national political axes subject to sanctions and arms embargoes. I have little to deal with those non-political armed forces and tribes. In Africa, I once sold more than $10 billion worth of arms in a year.

"Hists..." Many directors took a breath, and in addition to shock, there was more greedy green light in their eyes.

Arms trade usually has more than twice the profit, that is to say, Bout sells 10 billion US dollars of arms a year, and the net profit is at least 5 billion US dollars. It is an extremely amazing figure. The directors present, the total sales of arms on the global underground black market in a year, are difficult to reach this figure, let alone pure profit. And this number is only earned by Bute in Africa.

And from Butter's words, everyone also heard that he only made profits by trading with political axes of those countries. If you add a large number of non-political axes and tribes, this number may double.

That is to say, on the African continent, the trade in gray and black arms will reach 20 billion US dollars, while the profit will be 10 billion US dollars. Today, their sales center is ten times the total sales in Africa in a year.

As we all know, the arms trade volume is growing rapidly every year, and the military competition in modern society has been going on, but it is not so obvious and 'fierce'. Bout's experience was a few years ago. In today's Africa, in addition to the legal arms trade between regular countries, the gray and black arms markets are huge, which is a delicious and appetizing cake.

If you catch here and share a piece... Interest can blind the eyes and be a catalyst for relationships. It can make two strangers become a pair of very close 'friends' in a very short time.
