Chapter 472: Ants Moving South Vietnamese Goods
Wang Yuanchao understood their fear of tools and consoled Wenders, saying that this was the end of it and no matter what, they should not be delayed from making money.
Think about these weapons, how valuable are they?
No matter who you sell the black water to, or even if you use it yourself, it’s money!
Since they have decided to do it, they might as well make it bigger. After all, it was given to them by the South Vietnamese, and they have reported the losses to the enemy.
By the way, in addition to the arms they transported, in order to invite more personnel support from Blackwater, the South Vietnamese authorities finally mortgaged four "Huey" helicopters as mercenary expenses.
Nguyen Van Thieu (President of South Vietnam) was worried about his own safety and status, and worried that others would betray him, so he thought that the American father was more reliable. These mercenaries were there to protect his own personal safety.
Since he doesn't have to go to the front line, Wenders naturally wouldn't refuse such good business.
Corruption was rife in South Vietnam's military and political circles, from President Nguyen Van Thieu on down.
Military generals are "experts" who exploit soldiers' blood, draw empty salaries, resell military supplies, and participate in black market transactions.
There was no other way. If they didn't do this, they would not be able to support their families with the ever-depreciating piasters (the legal currency of South Vietnam).
A large amount of US military aid and strategic reserves were converted into "private property" in the pockets of generals, which stimulated more and more officers and soldiers to "get rich" by reselling military products, thus forming a vicious circle.
So how could such an army defeat North Vietnam?
So such a president naturally needs the protection of the American father. Mercenaries are also the American father, um.
Wenders brought the materials over, and Wang Yuanchao would arrange for the forgery experts in Hong Kong to imitate the materials and make some mortgage agreements for CH-47 Chinook helicopters, C-141, C-130 Hercules transport aircraft, and Reindeer transport aircraft.
When the chaos comes later, these planes are all Blackwater's assets! There are black words and red seals on them!
Otherwise, why are so many pilots here?
However, before that time came, Wenders was not too brave, so the pilots stayed here, waiting for that day to come.
In addition, the road that Blackwater is building also needs to be accelerated. Don't let it be too late to build it.
……
By the end of March, the North Vietnamese People's Army captured Hue and Da Nang and annihilated more than 3 South Vietnamese troops.
Wenders was full of admiration for his boss's prediction!
The United States judged internally that no matter how weak South Vietnam was, it would be fine to support it until the 76 election. However, the offensive was launched less than a month later!
Wenders quickly accelerated the corruption of South Vietnamese officers in the rear and engaged in large-scale arms resale.
He felt that Blackwater didn't have much time left to make money here, and he didn't know where to make money in the future, so he had to move quickly.
Wang Yuanchao even provided a large amount of US dollars for him to bribe those parasites.
The transport planes are transporting non-stop every night.
但也就运了8辆M-41坦克,40辆M-113装甲运兵车,以及12辆M-3履带式装甲车。
These guys still have to rely on sea transportation, the carrying capacity of airplanes is too low.
The more Wenders traded with South Vietnam, the more frightened he became. Coupled with the defeat on the front line, he even had someone buy off a 2000-ton Barnegat-class seaplane carrier from the Navy, which directly towed away the four M-48 Patton medium tanks, six Huey helicopters, two Chinook helicopters, two F6 fighters, and some other arms that he had been longing for.
Under the guise of supporting the front line, it went out to sea, turned a corner, and was towed directly to Sarawak.
When Wang Yuanchao got the news, he was stunned by Wenders' bold move. Did he really build a battleship?
The key point is, can we dock at the port in Sarawak?
Wenders smiled:
“How can you make a fortune if you are not brave enough?
When approaching our Sarawak base, the Huey flew directly over, and the Chinook with the F5 also flew over. You know, that was not the F5, it was 50 US dollars!
That is, four Pattons, staying on board the ship."
In fact, this seaplane carrier is actually a large cargo ship, far less than a 1000-ton warship. Therefore, it cannot support the takeoff of even a fighter like the F5, even though the takeoff conditions of the F5 are very low and the runway requirements are very short.
The military purchase price of an F5 is about 50 to US dollars. Even if an old one is discounted, it can still be sold for US dollars.
"So our ship is docked at the pier?"
Wenders said:
"We declared that we were a cargo ship docking for supplies. We were flying the American flag, so they didn't dare to stop us from docking. You know, our army is in the Philippines. By the way, we covered up Patton.
Sam was there coordinating the warehouse stop.
Actually, I didn’t want to pretend to be Patton at first, but Sam liked it anyway.”
Wang Yuanchao had no idea what kind of monster he had released. Heishui was so bold that he simply ignored the Sarawak authorities.
"Will this cause an international dispute?"
Wenders shrugged.
“We rented a warehouse at their dock to store the Patton.
Sam made it very clear to the customs and the port that this was cargo being transported and was just temporarily parked.
If the information is not kept secret and spreads, causing an international dispute, we will definitely be fine, but the customs officials and port officials will all be fired, right?
They are the ones who should be worried!"
Wang Yuanchao couldn't help but give a thumbs up after hearing Wenders' righteous words, thinking that he was too shallow.
Since the unrest in Malaysia, the government has formulated a series of policies to promote industrial development in order to quell social conflicts.
A series of decrees and laws were promulgated, such as the Investment Incentives Act of 1968 and the Free Trade Zone Act of 1970, which granted a series of tax incentives, etc. This was also one of the reasons why it was convenient for Wang Yuanchao to invest in paper mills, wood processing plants and other factories there.
Sarawak is East Malaysia, the core and essence of Malaysia, located in West Malaysia, on the Malay Peninsula.
Therefore, in order to keep the American merchant ship's payment on time, the Malays had to hold their noses and serve carefully. In order to keep it secret, the customs and dock managers even cleared out the people there, vacated the space, and begged the Blackwater people to unload the cargo themselves and take care of the cargo.
However, in addition to loading these supplies, the aircraft carrier also carried some South Vietnamese, who were the families of the navy, army, and air force.
The situation of South Vietnamese fleeing is too crazy now, which is why those people hit it off immediately after Blackwater started the trouble. They can't get a chance to escape. Even if they can escape, they can't take their families with them.
Now, it’s different with the aircraft carrier.
They can settle down in Sarawak and go to Blackwater's base to work as grassroots service personnel, which can be regarded as hostages in Blackwater's hands.
And those South Vietnamese soldiers had to follow the aircraft carrier back to Saigon.
This kind of money-making business is too addictive and crazy.
Wenders came to Hong Kong not only to report the progress to his big boss, but also to ask him to find a suitable buyer outside. After all, these things still have to be converted into US dollars.
Wang Yuanchao thought that he could buy it, or even donate it to the mainland. He didn’t lack the money, so he said:
"Don't worry, your hard work won't go to waste. Brothers, you went through life and death just to make money, right? Let's give you some bonuses first!"
Wang Yuanchao was about to take out his checkbook, but Wenders quickly stopped him and said:
"Boss, no need. We haven't sold any arms yet. You've already invested a lot."
Wang Yuanchao smiled and quickly wrote down the numbers, handed them to Wenders, and said:
"Nothing can make people believe more than the U.S. dollar!"
Wenders glanced at the number and saw so many zeros!
I counted it again, 100 million US dollars!
But think about it, they moved out so many arms, but it was all a no-cost business!
But the boss is so generous, everyone must be extra motivated!
Now, Wenders's fighting power has also exploded. He said:
“I will ask the finance and human resources departments to formulate a reward policy!
Also, boss, there is one more thing. Many people want to escape. Can we sell tickets? Even if they want to transport them to our base, we have transport aircraft resources. Those people not only have US dollars, but also gold. "
Wang Yuanchao was not opposed to saving people, and he could make money at the same time, so he said:
"Okay, but if it lands in the base, wouldn't it reveal the situation of the base?"
Wenders said:
“After they get off the plane, they are trucked directly to the dock and they can buy a ticket to go wherever they want to go.”
Wang Yuanchao rolled his eyes and said:
"Forget it, we'll arrange a transport ship to transport them to the United States. Let them wait in the base first, and we'll transport them more easily if there are more people."
Wang Yuanchao thought of the various base stations that Los Angeles Communications was currently building. Labor costs in the United States would be much cheaper if these Vietnamese people went there.
"Remember to calculate their food, lodging, and boat tickets. They will have to pay us back when they arrive in the United States. If they don't have the money to pay us back, I can help them find a job."
Wenders understood immediately.
He knew that his boss had a strong network of connections in the United States, and sure enough, it turned out to be true.
The two men discussed many details one by one. Saigon was currently in particular shortage of fuel, so Blackwater even brought a cargo ship to Hong Kong to purchase gasoline. Wenders didn't even spend a night in Hong Kong before he left by plane.
He would first fly to Manila, and then follow the US military transport plane directly to Saigon.
If you delay for one night, you will delay making money.
That's the power of a million-dollar prize.
How to divide the profits is Wenders' business, but the bulk of the profits will definitely go to the management and core members. However, the lower-level mercenaries who go on missions can also get a considerable income.
Wang Yuanchao took a puff of his cigar and it was time to go find Uncle Huo.
Uncle Huo did this kind of business in the past.
As expected, when Uncle Huo heard what Wang Yuanchao said, his butt almost bounced up.
He thought he was brave enough, but Wang Yuanchao in front of him was even braver than him!
He was also a smuggler back then!
This guy actually resells it directly from South Vietnam!
However, this kid still has a strong sense of patriotism.
He said he would donate it to the mainland free of charge.
Uncle Huo had to think about it. North Vietnam and the mainland are both brother parties.
Moreover, this guy said that they would be given away for free, but since they are given away for free, the quantity is limited, and the mainland may also use them mainly for research and development and imitation.
We can definitely ask our North Vietnamese brothers for some.
This is a huge hassle and not only is it extremely troublesome, but what if it causes an international dispute?
Wang Yuanchao seemed to be able to read minds and said:
"North Vietnam has evil ambitions and will not remember our kindness."
Uncle Huo glared at him and said:
"Do you and I have any say in national affairs?"
Finally, he said:
"Give me two days. I want to... ask for their opinions."
Wang Yuanchao smiled and said:
"I thought you needed to think about this, Uncle Huo!"
Uncle Huo pretended to be angry and said:
"You are so disrespectful, kid. I've already told you that we have no say in national affairs!"
