Reborn Oligarchs 1991

v2 Chapter 18 - Arms seem to be more profitable



? Watching seven or eight big men tossing the boxes back and forth, Guo Shouyun felt a little bored. He looked at his watch. It was just over ten o’clock. With a high-spirited look, Guo Shouyun couldn’t bear it if it wasn’t real. , qβ5.c0m

“These are all the equipment of the Sixteenth Division?” Walking to the side of a green leather armored vehicle, Guo Shouyun reached out and patted the car body, and said with a smile, “Why does it all look brand new, hasn’t it been touched yet? “

“If our Eighteenth Division is equipped with this kind of thing, then Comrade Ivanov is estimated to kill people,” Kuvalkin walked over and said, standing beside Guo Shouyun, “These are all stored here by the Military and Trade Bureau. In a month or so, it will be shipped.”

“Oh, I remember, that’s what you said yesterday, those are going to be sold to the Middle East, right?” Guo Shouyun said knowingly.

“What Middle Eastern guy,” Kuvalkin pouted and said dismissively, “The Middle Eastern guy’s batch has basically been delivered, thirty-five t-8o, twenty t-72, nineteen btr- 8o, forty 9k38 ‘Needle’ man-to-man anti-aircraft missiles, rpg-7 man-man anti-tank rocket launchers… hehe, these were all shipped by me. As for what you’re seeing now, hehe, these are all It is the private goods of the Military Trade Bureau, who they are selling to, only they themselves know.”

Kuvalkin’s remarks with strong dissatisfaction made Guo Shouyun’s heart jump. He could hear it. According to the colonel, the so-called Military Trade Bureau seemed to be doing arms with some people behind the back of the Soviet Ministry of Defense. arms trade.

“According to what you said, the profit of the Military Trade Bureau should be very large, right?” You wanted to inquire about the mystery inside, but he was worried that Kuvaljin would be vigilant. After a brief thought, Guo Shouyun planned to take a side attack.

“Hehe, it’s more than a big deal,” Kuvalkin said with a smile. “Compared with their trade, my brother’s business is nothing short of pediatric.”

Reaching out and patted the armored car, listening to the dull echo, Kuvalkin continued: “Do you know how much the Middle East bid for such a btr-8o? $2.7 million, and a t-8o tank, The asking price is 4.2 million, which is also US dollars. That’s all, it is the price after we replace the fire control system with an export type. If it is the main battle type t-64 that our troops are currently equipped with, then their asking price will increase to More than 8 million US dollars. Of course, those people in the Military Trade Bureau may dare to make small moves in private, but they dare not make jokes about the technology that is strictly controlled by the state.

When Kuvalkin said this, he also smiled and wiped his neck, but he didn’t realize that his mouth was really too loose on the doorknob.

Simply bringing the topic to his own interests, Guo Shouyun took the opportunity and whispered: “How do you say, listen to what you mean, the Military Trade Bureau is also secretly doing illegal trade? Is it so exaggerated?”

“Hehe, exaggeration? The word exaggeration does not apply to our country,” Kuvalkin shook his head and said with emotion, “The country is not what it was a few years ago. How can I say it, the Kremlin wants to To carry out reforms, to carry out a market economy, to follow the Westerners, to carry out capitalism, no one will care about these, but they will also cut military expenditures, and even cancel the fixed benefits and benefits of us serving officers. Pension allowance. Soldiers are also human beings, and we also need money to live. We military officers above the school level, the original monthly salary is not much, if we cancel the benefits, how will we live after retiring? So now I have seen it through Now, the honor and discipline of the soldiers are all out of the question, and it is the most important thing to save more money while the time allows.”

Speaking of which, Kuvalkin seemed to realize that he was a little off topic. He raised his foot and kicked the brand new tire of the armored car, and then continued: “See these things? We have already made two transactions, this time the target of the trade is Lebanon, and the trade process is fully responsible for the trade process by Major General Luschenko of the Military Trade Bureau. According to the formalities of our arms export, the Military Trade Bureau must first accept the purchaser’s application for arms purchase. Negotiations were held on the quantity and price of import and export of weapons, and finally three contracts were formed. One was submitted to the Ministry of National Defense, one was submitted to the Military Industry Commission, and the other was retained by the Military Trade Bureau. You see, how rigorous this whole process is, the National Defense The Ministry, the Military Industry Committee, the Military Trade Bureau, and the three-way monitoring, shouldn’t there be any problems?”

“Hey, are you testing me?” Guo Shouyun smiled, took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, and handed one to Kuvalkin.

“This is an army depot. Fireworks are strictly prohibited. Anyone who violates the rules will be detained for three months.” Kuvalkin smiled and pushed Guo Shouyun’s hand away.

“Oh, I forgot about that,” Guo Shouyun was stunned, then suddenly said.

“It’s okay, you smoke yours, just be careful,” Kuvalkin said, reaching out and taking out a cigar from his arms, “but I still like this thing, hey, remember to bring me more next time you come back. point.”

“Remember, you are indispensable.” Guo Shouyun lit the cigarette, took a sip, and said, “Let’s continue what we said just now. You said that the foreign trade of the Military Trade Bureau, in the entire negotiation process, is directly with foreign countries. The buyer contacted? The Ministry of National Defense and the Military Industry Committee did not appear here?”

“Gao, it’s no wonder that Comrade Ivanov values ​​you so much, your question hits the spot.” Kuvalkin’s face showed a surprised look, he said, “This military trade bureau’s ** method is the key. Part of it is in this negotiation.”

Speaking of which, Guo Shouyun doesn’t need to inquire about the details any more. If he can’t even understand the filthy act of colluding with negotiators from both sides to eat “Omri”, what is he going to do.

The facts are also exactly the same as Guo Shouyun’s vision. In the arms trade between the Military Trade Bureau and Lebanon, the representatives of both sides of the negotiation have signed false contracts. This kind of thing sounds complicated. It’s pretty simple. For example, Lebanon needs to purchase 30 t-8o tanks, each with an asking price of 4.2 million US dollars. Well, now everyone sat down to negotiate and finally formed a purchase contract. However, because the negotiators of the two sides played tricks in it, the number of tanks purchased in the final contract was 40 tanks, and the asking price for each tank was still $4.2 million.

In this way, the Military Trade Bureau has obtained ten more tanks from the Military Industry Committee. These ten tanks will be sold to those third-party countries that are not on the Soviet weapons export list. For these countries, they want to To get a tank, you may have to pay five million dollars or more.

Between this outgoing and one entering, the difference in profits of several million or even tens of millions appeared in the accounts of the Military Trade Bureau, ah, no, it should be said that it appeared in the accounts of some officials of the Military Trade Bureau. .

Bold, daring, compared with these people, Guo Shouyun feels like a little joke. So far, he has only been doing some business such as dumping steel, tobacco and alcohol. How much money can these businesses make? Tens of thousands of tons of steel are placed there, which are far less valuable than a tank, and the tobacco on the whole car is ignited, and it can’t catch up with the star flower blown out by a rocket… This is really outrageous!

This offender’s trade theory is that there is no most illegal, only more illegal. From the bottom of his heart, Guo Shouyun first had the idea of ​​getting involved in the arms trade.
