Chapter 455: Efficiency First

What Gao Guang and Tom are doing now is a test, to see the most basic intention first.

If the most basic links cannot be carried out, for example, the arsenal is unwilling to scrap more ammunition, then we have to find other ways. Things must still be done, but the methods are different.

Like now, rashly visiting the door, even the link of confirming identity is omitted. This is definitely not a normal transaction process.

But then again, it is abnormal. It is normal to do anything abnormal with Tom.

If this follows the normal process, the chieftain of Allen will delay for a few days before replying to a letter, and then delay for a few more days before proceeding to the next item. In short, it will take at least a month to wait for the preliminary work to be completed, and then the opportunity will be cold.

So Tom must have some way to make the lazy and lazy chieftain of Allen more efficient, but Gao Guang has not discovered Tom's means yet.

Gao Guang and his team left the city of Dubai. The road conditions were good at first, but after turning onto an asphalt road with good road surface but occasionally covered by yellow sand, there were no vehicles. After walking a few kilometers along the path, he saw a large building located in the desert.

The buildings were not high and were surrounded by barbed wire fences. From a distance, all the buildings were painted in desert camouflage, and even the gates were painted in desert camouflage.

This is the arsenal, but no one knows what it is called, and there is not even a road sign on the road.

The car stopped, and several people did not get off the car. The man in the white robe said a few words to the person on the sentry post, and then the electric door opened and the car drove into the gate of the arsenal.

The word "wealthy" is written everywhere in this arsenal. Looking at the large semicircular vaulted ammunition depots and the rows of white air conditioners on the outer wall, Gao Guang finally couldn't help asking, "Are there air conditioners in the ammunition depot?"

"This is one of the largest ammunition depots in Dubai. Of course, the humidity and temperature must be guaranteed."

The white-robed man driving the car didn't say much. He parked the car in front of a row of offices and said to Tom, "Let's get off."

Without an appointment or a phone call, Scissors took Tom to meet the man in white robes, who took Gao Guang and the others to an arsenal.

We have come to this point without even knowing the name. If the army of the Arab Emirates has been so efficient, then it stands to reason that its combat effectiveness should be quite strong.

"Come in."

The white-robed man directly opened an office. Less than ten seconds after getting out of the car and leaving the air conditioner, Gao Guang and the others entered another cold air-conditioned room before sweat was about to pour out.

"This is my office. Please wait here for a while. I'll ask someone to come over."

Signing Tom and Gao Guang to sit down, the white-robed man left leisurely.

Gao Guang looked at Tom, and Tom spread his hands and said, "Why are you looking at me like that?"

"Have you always been so efficient in doing things?"

Gao Guang didn't want to show his weakness, but what happened today was always beyond his cognition, so if he didn't figure things out, he would still show his weakness in the future, so he had to ask what he should ask.

Tom smiled disdainfully at first, and then he whispered, "If they can fight as efficiently as they make money, well, no, they are too lazy to even make money. The reason why you feel that everything is going well today is to thank Scissors for communicating with them in advance."

Tom lowered his voice and said, "Just because Scissors is not convenient to show up in person doesn't mean he really doesn't do anything."

The CIA always does things in a mysterious way, and they won't let Gao Guang see all the procedures. Well, think about it, it's still within the normal range.

But Gao Guang still had one thing he didn't understand, so he asked again, "Don't you even need to say his name?"

"It's just a key link, but he's not a big shot. He just needs to do what he should do. We're just here to get an attitude. It's not time for us to get to know each other and cooperate deeply. Don't be in a hurry."

Just as Tom finished speaking, the white robe and a middle-aged man in military uniform came back together.

The white robe sat down and said nothing, while the man in military uniform began to speak in Arabic.

Well, I couldn't understand a word, but Tom didn't need to translate, and he talked a lot with the man in military uniform.

After talking for a while, Tom said to Gao Guang, "He asked how much we could give. I think five million is more appropriate."

Gao Guang stretched out his hand and said, "Okay, just say it directly."

Tom spoke again in a gibberish. After a while, Tom stood up and shook hands with the man in military uniform.

Gao Guang stood up, and then the man in his fifties in military uniform shook hands with him with a smile, then waved and left.

The whole process took about five minutes, and Gao Guang still didn't know what happened.

Sitting down again, Tom said to the white robe: "There is no problem here, but please issue a stock list so that we can give the buyer an offer. Also, please don't leak this matter."

The white robe speaks English. He nodded and smiled: "Of course, this matter will not be known to anyone before the application is approved."

After that, the white robe said calmly: "Let's go back."

The three of them got back in the car, and then drove for an hour. The white robe took Gao Guang and Tom back to the hotel.

Waiting to enter the hotel lobby, Gao Guang finally couldn't help it. He whispered: "What did we do today?"

Tom didn't speak, but said with a relaxed look: "We'll talk about it when we get back. It's time to take the next step."

Although he was trying to grab business, even though everything went smoothly with this voice, Gao Guang didn't like this state of being confused the whole time.

Whether doing something is difficult or easy, it must be done clearly.

After returning to Tom's room, Gao Guang said again: "Explain to me what exactly happened today?"

Tom took a breath, spread his hands, and said: "After receiving the call from the price, I started to contact my colleagues in Dubai. I investigated the key people who would participate in the bidding, that is, the one in the white robe. They communicated in advance. After a while, we can go directly to see him today.”

Gao Guang nodded and said, "What did you say in the arsenal? s."

"The man in the white robe wanted to make the money, but he didn't know if the arsenal would be willing. He waited for us to arrive, then took us to the arsenal and talked with the lieutenant colonel in charge of managing the arsenal. The negotiation was concluded. If it is successful, we can proceed to the next step. If it fails, we will have to take another path.”

"Done the deal?"

Tom nodded and said: "Yes, I said that I would cooperate with him and ask him to apply for the destruction of an additional batch of expired ammunition. The lieutenant colonel agreed. He will submit an application and if it is approved, he can get it. Five million dollars in compensation.”

Gao Guang thought for a moment and said: "When I do things, especially making money, it is very difficult. I feel that making money is the most difficult thing in the world. But today, it is also a matter of making money, which makes me feel that it is too smooth." To what extent, don’t they have any concerns? Don’t they need to know who you are and whether you have money, then they will definitely agree?”

Tom curled his lips and said: "This is just the beginning. The guy who connected us just made a phone call, and the people at the arsenal were only responsible for making an application report. This is their job, and then they are only willing to earn five hundred It’s just ten thousand, how difficult can it be?”

Tom waved his hand and said: "The real difficulty lies behind. After submitting the application report, the key is whether the superiors are willing to approve it."

"Will it be approved?"

"I don't know. It depends on whether the person we found is important enough. Now that we have completed the preliminary investigation work, it's time for Hank to take action."

Smiling, Tom took out his mobile phone. He dialed a number. After waiting for the call to be connected, he said calmly: "Hey, Mad Dog and I just met with the person in charge of the arsenal. He is willing to submit an application report. But whether this application can be approved depends on whether the person you are looking for is willing to speak.”

"How much profit is left."

"The eighty-six million includes cost and freight, leaving a profit of 200 million. The CIA will take 20%, and 10 million will be given to the arsenal, which means there is still a profit of 150 million to be divided."

Hank whispered: "One hundred and fifty million, a big amount. Leave fifty million for Dubai and one hundred million for the Pentagon. It's enough. I'll start contacting you. Wait for my call."

Hank hung up the phone, and Tom said to Gao Guang: "It won't be long before there is news. One hundred and fifty million is definitely enough. As long as the amount is large enough, the Pentagon gentlemen are very efficient."

The efficiency of office affairs and private affairs are definitely different. Office affairs can be put on hold, but private affairs have to race against time.

Three minutes later, Hank called back, and Tom politely turned on the speakerphone, and then heard Hank say slightly nervously: "My boss agreed, we will split into 20%, and the middleman has been identified. He We have to go out for an event, but we have to find a big boss with enough weight to hold the line, and the three parties at the Pentagon will definitely be fine.”

Tom whistled softly, but Hank continued: "Mad dog, are you sure you can get the money? Let me tell you, if we don't get the money, we will be completely ruined!"

If you say anything ambiguous and try to shirk responsibility at this time, the iron triangle will fall apart immediately, so Gao Guang said categorically: "As long as you can get things done, money will definitely be no problem."

Hank breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Very good, I will do my best to handle it right away."

Tom whispered: "Brother, it's time to find out. Who are you looking for?"

"Lt. Gen. Lloyd Gortney, the former director of Joint Staff Information Management and the former commander in Iraq, retired last year, and now it's time for him to be rewarded. He can be the middleman in this business, man, okay?"

Tom nodded repeatedly and whispered: "Yes, he is qualified. Brother, the person you are looking for is indeed important, but can he hold down Morris?"

"I don't know who is behind Morris, but Morris won't give General Gortney a penny. As long as General Gortney is willing to make this money, he has to stand on our side. Stand on our side. He You have to deal with Morris.”

After Hank finished speaking, he breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Guys, I can't leave Afohan now. I can only rely on you over there. We have to hurry up and get it done before Morris reacts." Okay, just one word, fast, must be fast! By the time Morris knew what happened, he was already finished!"
