Chapter 456 Three people become tigers
Regardless of their status, Gao Guang's team puts efficiency first and strikes hard.
As soon as I got off the plane on the first day, I started running around with Tom without even taking a breath, and I finished everything in half a day.
Hank invited the big boss out with just one phone call, and then it was an endless wait.
On the third day, Tom couldn't wait and had to leave first. He had nothing to do in Baghdad. In order to deal with some urgent business, he had to rush back to Baghdad first, leaving Gao Guang to wait for processing.
On the morning of the seventh day, Gao Guang finally got some new news from Bai Pao, that is, the arsenal had finally made a list of items that could be scrapped.
Within a week, I came up with a list.
Only then did Gao Guang realize that he was working overtime when he got off work at two in the afternoon.
Then half a month later, when he couldn't bear the spotlight any longer, and he thought about returning to Los Angeles to wait for news, things finally made significant progress.
The arsenal finally submitted the application!
Within half a month, Paul's injuries were healed, Mike and Francisco were able to be active and active, Kevin, the new accountant of Kings Defense, had done all the accounting, and Francisco's nephew was waiting in Los Angeles.
Well, people here in Dubai have done just that.
Gao Guang called Tom excitedly, and the two met again in Dubai. Then on the same day, General Lloyd Gortney, whom Hank was looking for, also arrived in Dubai immediately.
Thirty million U.S. dollars, this is a huge sum of money, no matter when, no matter where, no matter who it is, this is a huge sum of money.
This huge sum of money is definitely enough to impress a retired general in the Pentagon, allowing him to travel to Dubai in a private capacity and, if necessary, to secretly visit high-ranking military officials in the United Arab Emirates.
Really big things are not accomplished by two teams that go back and forth for several months. They simply come to someone's head and think of something, and then find three or two people to discuss it, and then a few people put the matter together.
Done.
Just like now, Gao Guang and Tom went to pick up Lloyd, who came alone. The three of them talked about the matter and basically settled it.
Lloyd is a very kind-looking old man, and he also looks a little kind. He is a short, chubby old white man with a red nose. He is wearing a loose long-sleeved shirt.
When he appeared in front of Gao Guang with a pair of jeans, Gao Guang would never think that this old man was a powerful master.
"Hello, general."
Gao Guang was indeed a little nervous inside. When he reached out to shake hands with Lloyd, his voice was a little tight.
Lloyd smiled very kindly, and shook hands with Gao Guang, which was quite strong, and then he said politely: "Don't call me general, call me sir. Are you a mad dog?"
After looking the highlight up and down, Lloyd turned to Tom and said, "Hello, Tom."
"Hello, Mr. Gortney."
Lloyd's body was still strong. He sat down and said straight to the point: "I've been waiting for this day for a long time. Now tell me about the situation. What step has it taken?"
Gao Guang said in a low voice: "Our insider in Dubai has just submitted the report on the application for scrapping and destruction. If it is quick, Dubai should give a response tomorrow."
Lloyd waved his hand and said with a smile: "According to my understanding of the Arabs, they will not be so fast. The application can be delivered to the desk of the Minister of Logistics within a week. Even if it is very fast, but if I first
"Going to see the people who are in charge of this might get them up to speed and get them to approve the application tomorrow and start bidding as soon as possible."
His tone was calm, but his confidence was still strong. Lloyd smiled, held the list in front of his eyes and looked at it for a while, then said: "Are there any other obstacles besides this?"
Gao Guang immediately said: "The biggest obstacle is an arms dealer named Morris. He is our biggest competitor. I am worried that if he also gets the news and knows that the quantity of this batch of arms has been increased, he will probably start to rob us.
business."
Lloyd didn't answer Gao Guang's words. He just looked at the list. After reading the list, he said slowly: "Maurice, I know this person. I asked about him before he came here. He does provide benefits to some people.
But he can’t take away this business.”
Lloyd put the list on the table and said slowly: "Don't think of this business as a competition between companies. This is the Emirati army's disposal of scrap ammunition. They can choose to tender and let capable companies
You can dispose of expired ammunition for them, or you can choose to designate a capable company to destroy it. How to decide is a matter for the UAE military."
Why are you looking for a boss?
Because Gao Guang and Morris were competing for business, they were competing for business. The two of them fought to the death, and they were also playing within the framework defined by the Dubai military.
But Lloyd is different. He can't change the rules, he can directly set them.
The rule is that this business can only be left to Gao Guang, and this money can only be made by Gao Guang.
Of course, after Gaoguang makes money, he will take out the big money and give a share to all the big guys who participated. This is also the rule.
When it comes to this matter, Gao Guang has nothing to worry about, and Lloyd doesn't care about whether he can win the business at all. He cares about other issues.
Lloyd looked at Tom and said with great interest: "Can you afford the payment for the recruitment team?"
Tom said respectfully: "I asked people from the anti-money laundering department to investigate. There is indeed money in the account provided by the Tiren, and it is stored in an offshore account at Citibank."
The CIA can indeed find out this, Gao Guang still knows it, and Lloyd also knows it.
Lloyd smiled and said: "There are quite a few people involved in this matter."
Tom whispered: "There are indeed a lot of people. After all, the budget has not been enough in recent years, and our work is not easy to do. The superiors are also considerate of us. If there are any opportunities for promotion, the superiors are willing to give them."
Lloyd said with emotion: "That's good, is your Middle East office busy now?"
Tom smiled and said: "Our director is waiting for your arrival, sir. If you have time, our director would like to treat you to taste the local specialties."
What the two people said was a bit cryptic, but Gao Guang can still hear it without translation.
The translation is as follows.
Lloyd said that there were many people involved in this matter. He didn't mean that if too many people knew about it, it would be unsafe. He was saying it ironically. He meant that there were not many people from the CIA involved in this deal.
Whether the portion is enough or not, if not, then it’s hard to say.
Tom's answer is that there are many people, including several managers of our Middle East office. We are not independent in the Middle East office. We have no shortage of people who should be filial to the higher ups. The entire CIA is our strong backing. Everywhere in the Middle East
The long wait to see you is proof. I invite you to dinner and everyone exchanges certificates of trust. There is no problem in this.
After all, some things are not convenient to say on the phone and must be discussed in person. Lloyd was very satisfied after hearing what Tom said. Although the relationship between the Pentagon and the CIA is not harmonious, it is still possible for everyone to join forces to make a deal in private.
.
There must be no problem with Tom and the CIA he represents. Lloyd now looked at Gao Guang. He looked at Gao Guang and then smiled: "Mad Dog is very young. He is doing such a big business at such a young age.
Very powerful ah."
Gao Guang smiled and nodded.
There is no problem with Gao Guang. He has no background, which is the best background. It is better that he is a yellow man, because it means that he does not have too many entanglements with the US military-industrial complex and has nothing to do with other factions in the Pentagon.
, exactly the best white glove candidate.
Looking at it from another angle, yellow people with a transparent ceiling above their heads actually have an advantage in many cases. It just depends on whether they find the right path.
Now it was time to get down to business again. Lloyd was about to talk about what to do next, but suddenly he looked at Gao Guang and said, "Wait a minute, I remembered a person. What do you call Mad Dog?"
"Yes."
ffYou are not the mad dog, are you? The one who used a pistol in Baghdad.
Lloyd suddenly opened his eyes wide and said, "Yes, I should have thought of it a long time ago. Are you the King of Baghdad?"
Is the title King of Baghdad a bit too big? But when it comes to pistols, the highlight is definitely the King of Baghdad.
Tom smiled and said: "Has the general heard about Mad Dog's proud achievements?"
Lloyd said with a surprised look on his face: "Aha, no wonder you are in this business, you are the mad dog, you are very powerful, and you can also bless the gun, is it you? That's right, it's you.
!”
Gao Guang was shocked and said: "You even know this! You know Mr. Smith from the War Group, right?"
Lloyd shook his head and said: "Zhanhuo Group? Of course I know about Zhanhuo Group, but I have never dealt with Zhanhuo Group. Frankly speaking, when I was the commander of the garrison in Iraq, Zhanhuo Group was not qualified enough for me to pay attention to."
Gao Guang thought that Lloyd was a relative of Mr. Smith, but now it seems that he is not.
Lloyd said with great interest: "An old subordinate of mine told me a joke, saying that a guy named Mad Dog blessed the boss of Eric Mining Company with two guns.
I don’t know who the boss is, but my old subordinates said that he has mysterious confidence in his guns, and even said that he was blessed by the mysterious witchcraft of the East. I am deeply impressed by this.”
"Actually, it's called consecration."
"Yes! Kaihang, yes, it is a difficult word to pronounce."
After finishing speaking with a smile, Lloyd suddenly said: "Then you really have the mysterious power to bless the gun, oh no, are you talking about it?"
"So that's it, you guy, you didn't even tell me that you could do this!" After fussing, Tom said firmly: "General, you must see how the mad dog uses the pistol.
After that, you will believe that he does have magical witchcraft!"
Gao Guang didn't know the answer, but then he saw Tom on the side of Lloyd and gave him a fierce wink.
The meaning in Tom's eyes is that if you dare to deny it, I will kill you, you idiot.
Gao Guang coughed slightly and said: "Well, I can fire the gun. This is true, but I have to tell you the truth, General. This is actually more of a psychological effect, but to a certain extent, it may
, maybe, probably, it has a little effect, well, that's it, who can tell clearly about this kind of supernatural power, right?"
I tried my best to retract the highlights, but now that I have been blown away by others, I can no longer retract the highlights if I want to.
Lloyd nodded slowly and said: Say goodbye to me sir, call me general.
He asked Gao Guang and Tom to call him husband, but Gao Guang could see that Lloyd enjoyed the title of general more.
After correcting the name of Gaoguang, Lloyd said seriously: "I don't believe in the so-called shopping and blessing. In my opinion, this kind of weird stuff is just bullshit and nonsense!"
Tom frowned, but Gao Guang hesitated for a moment and whispered: "Actually."
Gao Guang wanted to say that you were right. Consecration was indeed nonsense, but Lloyd didn't give him a chance to speak. He changed the topic and said, "When you have time, show me. I want to verify it myself."
It only takes a moment. If your marksmanship is as powerful as the legend says, and the gun you blessed has indeed magical power, then I... then I will admit that you are really magical."
Gao Guang has confidence in marksmanship, but it's strange that Gao Guang has confidence in things like lighting.
This is the real-life version of three people becoming a tiger. Gao Guang would never have imagined that he just made a joke at the beginning, but it went in a big circle, halfway around the world. After the joke has been fermented, I don’t know how many people added it.
How much vinegar was added to the oil, and it still hit Lloyd on the head?
