King Of War: Starting with Arms Dealer

Chapter 60: 60: Business Landscape

Where would Joe Ga expect the tourism company to be making money at this stage?

At this stage, as long as he can break even, that's enough for Joe Ga.

As for the payback period of the initial investment, Joe Ga doesn't even consider it.

Just the investment for two helicopters plus airport renovation is close to 800,000 US Dollars. Sayram's airport is considered a shareholder, but the money earned from its plane operations is all his own.

In this place, expecting to recoup the initial investment by hosting tourists in the short term is basically impossible.

However, Joe Ga's so-called breaking even has already made him a major taxpayer in Ad-Damazin. Recently, quite a few foreigners have come here, renting planes, hunting rifles, vehicles, and staff, and they've spent a lot of money. After deducting expenses, this month turned out to be profitable.

Without considering the initial investment, most of this money is pure profit.

The company does indeed need some people for miscellaneous tasks, and getting those kids to work is truly helping them, and this is enough to cheer Ayu up.

After sending Ayu away, Joe Ga had Zhabu and Nas clean up the spent shell casings on the ground and, after giving them a tip of 5 US Dollars each, he quietly put those casings into the Omnipotent Toolbox, where they were quickly broken down into raw materials.

Then he followed Karman, who had already packed up, towards the airport's parking lot, ready to drive home.

When he started the car, his phone suddenly rang…

Picking up the mysterious call, Joe Ga hadn't had time to speak when he heard a man shouting in broken English amidst the loud noise on the other side, "We have taken off from Egypt, please prepare the balance payment for the helicopter."

After saying that, the other party hung up, not giving Joe Ga a chance to respond.

The two Little Gazelles were about to be delivered, which was great news.

Joe Ga gestured to Karman to drive and sat in the passenger seat to dial Mr. Lu's number.

To Joe Ga's surprise, Mr. Lu's voice was very excited.

"Wolf bro, what's up?"

Joe Ga could feel the excitement on the other end, and he said with a smile, "Your Little Gazelles have arrived. When are you planning to pick them up?"

Lu Jun was taken aback and then said with joy, "So soon?"

Joe Ga said amusedly, "So you're not happy about the helicopter..."

"Hey, Wolf bro, you have no idea, it's been incredibly busy here in Southwest Kordovan recently.

With those heavy weapons you provided, the Ernu people managed to withstand the Kadins' harassment, and the crops were saved.

But in the past few days, some people have been scouting around my mining area, and I'm discussing strategies with our own PMC.

Damn it, I might actually get a chance to go to the battlefield. How can I not be excited?

Now it's perfect, if you can get the helicopter over here, we can go on the offensive or hold our ground. That would completely solve my security issues."

As he spoke, someone seemed to say something to Lu Jun, and then he spoke into the phone, "Wolf bro, could you do me a favor and deliver the helicopter over here? The same old rate for the transport, 30%.

The pilot I hired hasn't arrived yet. There's one in the PMC who can fly a plane, but his contract doesn't include picking up goods for me.

Oh, most importantly, help me stock up on some weapons and ammunition. My guys here are really envious of the SCARs I have, but they can't afford that caliber of weapon, so they want to buy a batch of Russian squad weapons.

"Bring 10 each of the PKM and SVD, and as many bullets as you can carry."

Lu Jun spoke in a confusing manner, and it took Joe Ga a while to figure it out...

The helicopter belonged to Lu Jun, but those squad weapons were actually owned by those PMCs.

And those PMCs were apparently the ones Lu Jun had mentioned before, a PMC company established in collaboration between Chinese and Malaysians, providing armed security.

It seems that this PMC company has just been established and there are some gaps in the weapons and equipment for their personnel on the ground.

From what they requested, they only needed machine guns and sniper rifles, which indicated that AKs were their standard issue, but they lacked other squad weapons.

Having understood the connection, Joe Ga said with a smile, "Ask them for me, would they be interested in the PKP? After all, the PKM is an old gun, and the PKP, which uses a new barrel, is definitely more practical.

Oh, and do they want grenade launchers? Why stick with the SVD for sniper rifles? Have they considered something of better quality?"

Upon hearing this, Lu Jun chuckled and said, "Bro Wolf, if I were buying, I would certainly want the best. But, you see, these brothers of mine are spending their own company's money, and they wouldn't even let me help them choose. So, let's just go with what they want!

Bro Wolf, the profit from this deal seems a little low.

All these brothers come from their own families, please be understanding!"

Joe Ga, who had just been testing the waters with his question, wasn't really trying to squeeze much out of them. Hearing Lu Jun speak so earnestly, Joe Ga said with a laugh, "I was just asking. Since you care so much about it, I should certainly do something in return.

Hmm, grenades it is then. I'll bring a few boxes of offensive hand grenades for you guys to play with when I come over. Those things don't have much killing power; they're just for a bang to create some festivity."

Lu Jun was amused by Joe Ga's words, he laughed and said, "This is the first time I've heard of grenades being festive, but they must be exciting for sure. On behalf of the brothers, I thank you, Bro Wolf."

Joe Ga nodded and said, "Alright then, 10 RPKs, 10 SVDs, and I'll match the bullets; let's make it 80,000 in total, and we can include shipping with the helicopter's freight.

Give me a week, and I'll have the Little Gazelle sent over to you. Aren't you dealing with some prying eyes over there? I'll bring you a little surprise when the time comes."

Lu Jun responded joyously, "Then thank you, Bro Wolf, I'll be waiting here."

After hanging up the phone, Joe Ga, in high spirits, turned to Karman and said, "Another deal has come knocking. How's the arrangement going for your son's trip to Italy?"

Karman paused, then said with a gloomy expression, "I'm not sure. Lately, for some reason, Muto seems unwilling to talk about Italy."

Frowning, Joe Ga said, "Wasn't it Sayram who found the intermediary for the visa process? Could there be a problem with that?"

Karman shook his head and said, "That should not be the case, Sayram wouldn't dare mess with me. It's just that Muto has suddenly lost enthusiasm for going to Italy, and I don't know why or how to talk to Muto about it."

After listening, Joe Ga said with a realization, "I think I understand a bit of what Muto might be thinking. When you go home, just tell Muto that we might need to open a branch in Italy in the future, dealing with guided hunts.

Let him go there to get used to it for a while, and if he performs well, we can let him manage that company.

To be honest, Africa is a land of opportunity. Since our tourism company has started and seems to be able to make some money, we should expand.

Ethiopia, Uganda, Central Africa, Cameroon, Gabon, Congo, Rwanda, Tanzania, Angola, Zambia, Malawi, Zimbabwe, Mozambique...

These places are all targets for our expansion. The competition might be a bit fierce further south in Namibia, Botswana, and South Africa, so we can leave those out. But among these countries, we can choose a few to open branches, or even consider partnerships if necessary.

We'll wipe out all the poachers in Africa and then create a global hunting conglomerate!

In the future, anyone who wants to hunt big game in Africa will have to play by my rules, haha..."
