"Arrow-3?!"
He hurriedly pried open the case.
After lifting the moisture-proof paper, there indeed lay an "Arrow-3" man-portable air defense missile launcher.
This thing was manufactured by the forr Soviet Union, also known as the SAM-14 air defense missile.
Song Heping picked it up, tried it in his hands, then shouldered it again to get a feel.
He had seen this thing before.
In a foreign military weapons training course.
This was the first ti he had gotten his hands on a brand-new actual unit.
"Good stuff!"
Seeing Song Heping so excited, Samir, who was clueless, asked with a puzzled face, "Boss, is this an anti-tank weapon?"
Hunter laughed, "This is an anti-aircraft weapon, used to shoot down planes!"
"With this, even helicopters can be dealt with."
Song Heping took the "Arrow-3" air defense missile launcher off his shoulder, holding it in his hands to examine it again.
"Although it's an older model, it's still enough for low-flying helicopters."
Hunter asked, "Boss, how many units do you plan to buy?"
Song Heping asked Yusuf standing nearby, "Brother, how much for these?"
"1000 US dollars each," Yusuf replied without hesitation. "Including missiles."
Song Heping found the price reasonable, but still tried to bargain, "How about 800?"
Yusuf thought it over, "Alright, 800 then, how many do you want?"
Song Heping asked, "How many do you have here?"
Yusuf said, "100 units."
100 units, that would be 80,000 US dollars.
But this stuff is rare.
At least in Illiguo, it's rare.
Moreover, around the Middle East, many people want this thing.
Among individual weapons, it's one of the bestsellers.
"I'll take all of them."
Song Heping answered generously.
"No way."
Yusuf refused.
Song Heping was taken aback, "Why not?"
Yusuf explained, "I need to keep 10 units as samples; I can't sell them all, I wouldn't be able to explain later."
Song Heping suddenly understood and couldn't help but laugh out loud, "Hahaha, alright then, 90 units it is, I'll take them all."
Price negotiated, goods negotiated.
What remained was to take action.
Yusuf's n also quickly arrived at the scene, and began to load the designated quantity of weapons onto the truck according to the list.
Just like that, a group of people busied themselves in the warehouse until almost dawn and still hadn't finished.
At dawn, they had to pause temporarily and agreed to continue the next evening.
During the loading process, Song Heping did so calculations himself.
This ti he had bought a total of 3000 AK47s, 3000 AKM assault rifles, 1000 SVD sniper rifles, 1000 RPD light machine guns, 1000 PKM machine guns, 100 various mortars, 20 units of 107 rocket launchers, and 90 units of "Arrow-3" air defense missile launchers.
Each AK47 assault rifle at 75 US dollars, 3000 pieces totaling 225,000 US dollars.
Each AKM assault rifle at 150 US dollars, 1500 pieces totaling 225,000 US dollars.
Each RPD light machine gun at 150 US dollars, 1000 pieces totaling 150,000 US dollars.
Each PKM machine gun at 200 US dollars, 1000 pieces totaling 200,000 US dollars.
Each SVD sniper rifle at 200 US dollars, 1000 pieces totaling 200,000 US dollars
Mortars of different types and calibers, prices varying, Song Heping estimated, at an average price of 700 US dollars each, 100 pieces totaled 70,000 US dollars.
107 rocket launchers at 1000 US dollars each, 20 pieces totaling 20,000 US dollars
"Arrow-3" at 800 US dollars each, 90 units totaling 72,000 US dollars.
Total military purchases amounted to 1,165,000 US dollars, plus 20,000 US dollars for renting the warehouse for a year, that night Song Heping spent a total of 1,185,000 US dollars!
1,185,000.
In US dollars.
Converted at the current exchange rate, that's nearly ten million RMB, almost ten million.
Song Heping even felt a bit dazed.
After calculating the result, Song Heping felt his heartbeat accelerate, and his legs felt a bit weak.
Just half a month ago, let alone nearly ten million, he would have felt heartache even spending just nine hundred at once.
Now, he had just casually spent nearly ten million in one night!
Back in his hotown, he could have made countless trips to Wenzhou City!
Probably, even with weak legs from walking, he wouldn't have spent it all.
He called the chef to tell him the result.
The chef, on the other end of the phone, turned out to be even more excited than him.
"Damn, we're going to make a killing this ti! I know a way to sell all this stuff. Even if we can't sell it in Illiguo, I have so friends in Russia who need this stuff! They have connections in Africa too!"
He didn't forget to add one more thing.
"At this price, it's even cheaper than our country's arms factory's ex-factory price!"
Although Song Heping was not familiar with the arms business, nor was he an expert, he had dealt with various kinds of general goods with Old Demon in Baghdad before and had never touched this line of work.
But he still had basic knowledge.
He had long heard that arms dealing was profitable, but only today, through first-hand experience, did he realize the truth about the massive profits involved.
The two of them laughed and speculated over their future money-making plans on the phone. After hanging up, Song Heping looked at the sky and decided to leave now and continue moving goods tomorrow night.
So, a few of them got in the car and took Yusuf ho.
Just after dropping off Yusuf, on the way back to the Green Zone, his phone rang.
He thought it was the chef.
But when he took out the phone and looked.
It was a familiar number.
That was the number for the phone he had given to Naxin.
He had once said that if Naxin decided against being an enemy to his rcenary Group, he could use this phone to reach him.
"Naxin."
Song Heping answered the phone and began teasing the other person.
"Didn't expect you to co back to so soon. I thought you'd need at least a month to heal your wounds."
He had a good impression of Naxin.
Although the guy had been defeated by him twice and had even cried openly once, he still had his principles.
However, Naxin said, "If I had reached out a day earlier, you probably wouldn't have been able to answer the phone and it would have caused you trouble."
This statent made Song Heping's heart skip a beat.
A day earlier?
Wasn't that when he was detained by the CIA's Baghdad station?
