Glolov led the convoy away, checking in periodically. As the night passed, the convoy proceeded smoothly. Although they hadn’t reached Odessa yet, things were looking good, and no issues were expected.
Gao Yang couldn’t worry about the goods being transported because he was dealing with a bigger business, just the day after the first batch of goods was sent away.
"This is General Voronin Rebrov. General, this is Peter Yang."
One introduction leads to another, connecting one person to another, and then these connections weave into a network—this is the so-called network of relationships.
Through Shava, Gao Yang t Kofupake; through Kofupake, Gao Yang t Kucher; and again, through Kofupake, Gao Yang was about to et Rebrov Voronin, a powerful figure in the Ukrainian military, his personal god of wealth.
Business is business. Regardless of identity, since it’s a deal, one shouldn’t put on airs, and Rebrov was doing exceptionally well in this regard.
When Gao Yang extended his hand to Rebrov, Rebrov stood up and shook his hand, smiling warmly, "Kofupake said there’s a big boss he wants to introduce to, and I didn’t expect the boss to be so young. Mr. Yang, for soone your age to build a business this big, it’s quite an achievent."
Gao Yang smiled subtly, modestly saying, "Not at all, General, I’m new in the business, relying on your guidance."
Rebrov made a gesture to sit, moved his seat back a bit, and said with interest, "Peter, you want to do a big deal with ? What exactly are you looking to buy?"
Gao Yang smiled and said, "I buy anything."
Rebrov nodded with satisfaction, smiling, "Good, in the arms trade, such boldness is required, haha."
At this point, Gao Yang tid it perfectly and added in a low voice, "But for now, I want to acquire so weapons and equipnt, things with higher value. As for ammunition, my demand isn’t strong at the mont."
Rebrov was silent for a mont, then smiled and said, "So, what specifically are you looking for?"
Gao Yang imdiately said, "Cannons, tanks, armored vehicles, missile launchers, ard helicopters, transport helicopters. I’m looking to purchase things with relatively higher value."
Rebrov furrowed his brow slightly, thought for a mont, and finally said slowly, "Armored vehicles, there are recent issues. The Russians took Cria Peninsula, and there have been constant minor actions in the east. Given the current situation, things do not look optimistic. Hence, the frequent troop movents, especially with the tank and armored units being moved more frequently, make it hard to provide tanks and armored vehicles at this ti. But cannons, that’s no problem, and helicopters are relatively simpler. However, you need to seize the opportunity; business can only be done with the right opportunities."
Gao Yang imdiately said, "What about missiles? Any type of missile will do."
Rebrov waved his hand, smiled, and said, "Missiles? I currently don’t have any missiles here."
Gao Yang still smiled, but Kofupake’s face had changed sowhat, and before Gao Yang could stop him, Kofupake suddenly said, "General, those missiles, this..."
Rebrov’s face turned serious, looking at Kofupake, and said, "Those missiles cannot be sold!"
Kofupake frowned and said firmly, "In comparison, General, those missiles have already been sold."
Rebrov’s face changed dramatically, he stood up suddenly and stared at Kofupake, saying loudly, "You’ve sold them? Who gave you permission to do that! I said those missiles cannot be sold! Mr. Yang, sorry, the missile deal must be canceled."
"Why, General? Haven’t we always been doing this?"
Kofupake was prepared to leave, so he wasn’t too afraid of Rebrov’s reaction, just simply puzzled. After asking, he continued, "General, it’s too late to say no now. I’ve already sold the missiles to Mr. Yang, and they’ve been shipped. Sorry, I really didn’t know there was an issue with this transaction. Mr. Yang was here to pay you..."
Rebrov stared at Kofupake, then yelled angrily, "Shipped out? Where did you ship them? To where? They must be recovered!"
Gao Yang coughed lightly and said, "Sorry, they can’t be recovered. The ship has already left the Black Sea. Sorry, General, can I ask why they can’t be sold?"
Rebrov waved his hand, sat back down on the sofa, and said with a sowhat annoyed expression, "It’s too late to talk about this now."
Gao Yang coughed lightly, opened a case and placed it in front of Rebrov, then he said in a low voice, "General, the case contains five hundred thousand dollars, your share from this deal."
Rebrov looked at the case at his feet, then reached inside to take out a stack of money, patting it on his hand, and sighed, saying, "Alright, they’ve been sold anyway, there’s nothing else to do. Five hundred thousand isn’t much, but it’s too late to talk about it now."
Gao Yang imdiately smiled and said, "It’s not too late, General, five hundred thousand is your share, here is another five hundred thousand, a token of my friendship."
Gao Yang opened another case, and after Rebrov looked, a smile finally appeared on his face, then he nodded and smiled, "Well, I’ll accept your goodwill."
A weight was lifted from Gao Yang’s heart. The situation seed a bit beyond expectations, but since Rebrov accepted the money, he could relax. To be honest, solving Kofupake’s concerns was secondary because Kofupake would soon leave Ukraine.
Most importantly, he didn’t want Rebrov to refuse to do business with him over this. Gao Yang still counted on Rebrov to provide more deals.
After closing the money case, Rebrov bead and said, "Mr. Yang, I’m looking forward to our next transaction. Leave your number, and I’ll call as soon as I have sothing that matches your requirent. As for the price, we’ll discuss it based on the value of the items."
Rebrov spoke up, giving Gao Yang the answer he wanted. The subsequent period was filled with friendly and pleasant conversation, lasting until Gao Yang left.
After saying farewell with Kofupake, Kofupake exhaled and whispered, "Strange, General Voronin usually isn’t like this."
At this mont, Kofupake’s phone rang. He answered it, said a few words, then turned to Gao Yang with a smile, "It’s Kucher; he has a deal to introduce to you."(To be continued.
