Chapter 741: Chapter 328: Military Supply Order

“What do you need specifically? Beef, chicken, canned lunch meat, everyday military supplies and equipment, I can provide all these for you.”

Allen Zhang continued talking with Black for a while, and the latter even took out his phone to inquire about the mercenaries in the Central Africa region, got their requirements, and directly passed them on to the General Sect Leader.

Items like land combat boots, jungle combat uniforms, which cost hundreds of dollars per set depending on individual sizes, ordinary gun oils, canned food, and compressed biscuits, chocolate bars like everyday items, cost just a few dollars in the supermarkets on the West Coast and are quite cheap.

But these items are very expensive in Central Africa, belonging to the category of uncommon American imported food.

Black, who was in charge, was particularly generous in buying things, and they were also big spenders in everyday purchases as long as it did not involve dangerous equipment. Almost splurging without blinking.

In one go, it was 50,000 cans of beef, 50,000 cans of chicken, 50,000 cans of luncheon meat. Plus two thousand sets of clothes, two thousand pairs of land combat boots, twenty thousand units of gun oil, chewing gum, compressed biscuits, chocolate bars…

Putting all these miscellaneous items together, considering the transportation costs, Black placed a military supplies order worth three million US dollars in one breath!

The General Sect Leader, seeing the guest spending so lavishly, stood up and went with him to the VIP box next door to discuss in detail, confirmed the order items and quantities, then called over the staff from the Venetians, borrowed the hotel’s printer, and printed out the contract order, both signing their names on the contract.

Black wrote a formal tender order for the Central African royalty, and the delivery location was a small place in Central Africa that the General Sect Leader hadn’t heard of.

Naturally, the General Sect Leader chose to list the name of Mr. Sieg Campri from the Thunder Fire Armored Kingdom as the designated fall guy.

After signing, Allen Zhang also provided Black with the Hanberger Foundation’s account, following international practice to require a minimum payment of 30% upfront, which is 900,000 US dollars. Black decisively made the payment.

Soon, Allen Zhang received the account deposit notification, checked his phone, and immediately shook hands with the other party with a smiling face, “Pleasure doing business with you!”

“Mr. Jin, pleasure doing business. We hope that you can dispatch the goods as soon as possible so that our soldiers can make use of these supplies promptly,” Black also said cheerfully, clearly pleased to have completed the mission assigned by the royalty.

“After returning, I will arrange for the goods to be prepared. They will be shipped the day after tomorrow at the latest, and maybe even ready by tomorrow,” said Allen Zhang.

“I might be impertinent asking this, but I still want to ask, 150 thousand cans, each about 400 grams, that comes to sixty tons. With a shelf life of only up to 3 years, can you really consume all of that?”

Allen Zhang asked, somewhat puzzled. Who eats canned food every day? Could the mercenaries really endure that?

In Central Africa, the most common source of meat is beef; while ordinary families wouldn’t go hunting in the mountains and forests for additional meat, their usual meals are probably not very rich.

It’s either a drought or a flood.

“We can consume it! For what we can’t consume, we can provide it as extra food for the mining workers. It’s best not to use too high quality canned meat. You promised about 5 US Dollars per can, and 150 thousand cans of rich meat amount to less than 800,000 US Dollars, which is indeed very economical,” Black said with a smile.

“…”

Seeing his smile, Allen Zhang only wanted to say, why does Black make it hard for Black?

Although the General Sect Leader is not specifically selling meat cans and doesn’t have so much stock on hand temporarily, isn’t it easy to find wholesalers for stock?

If really using cheap meat cans, the cost price for the manufacturers is even less than 1 US Dollar, selling you a 400 grams can for 5 US Dollars actually means the General Sect Leader is making a huge profit.

Middlemen earning the difference, how could they possibly incur losses?

After chatting a bit more, they collected the contracts into two copies, Allen Zhang left the VIP room with Black, waving his hand and smiling as he watched him leave. He then turned and returned to his seat.

Just after sitting down, coincidentally, he saw Madison and some military personnel talking and laughing, coming back from the other side. Seeing the General Sect Leader organizing documents, they appeared surprised, “Have you wrapped up your business?”

“Yes, the Central African royalty is quite generous, directly ordering 3 million worth of goods from me,” Allen Zhang smiled, “Coming here for this birthday dinner was indeed not in vain.”

“You’re selling them military supplies, wouldn’t that be a loss? What exactly did you sell to them?” The military personnel were greatly surprised and couldn’t help doubting.

“This is Colonel Rob, one of the heads of the Lucino Air Force Base,” Madison introduced the General Sect Leader and said, “We have a good relationship with Colonel Rob, we get along very well.”

Got it. So it means he isn’t from the opposing camp and could potentially be on our side.

The General Sect Leader nodded and also shook hands with Colonel Rob smilingly, “Hello, Colonel Rob, I am Hanberger Juan Jin.”

“Hello Mr. Jin, I’ve heard your name from Mr. Madison and other friends. But I’m still curious, how exactly did you manage to secure business from those stingy Black people?” Colonel Rob was puzzled.

“As far as I know, when our people went to discuss cooperation with them, even a refitted second-hand Black Hawk helicopter, offered at just 3.6 million US Dollars including a professional pilot training course, they wouldn’t consider buying it. They even rejected AR-15 rifles and M16s.”
