In this world, the Soviet Union still existed, so China and the United States were still in their honeymoon period. However, the Soviet Union, which had survived for decades, was already on the verge of collapse. With the rise of the Dove Party leader, the Russians 'over-reliance on heavy industry to forcibly extend their lives would cause the world to collapse at any time, just like in history. It would be a feast for arms dealers.
Now that Chen Ze had returned to China, he had the intention to reconcile with the Su family and reunite with his wife and daughter. On the other hand, he was no longer an ordinary arms dealer. Now, he had grown into the leader of a powerful firearms group. If this behemoth that had developed from a gray area wanted to transform, it was bound to be whitewashed.
Chen couldn't just take the blood diamonds, gold, and black money given by the warlord and deposit them in a bank in Manhattan. Even an overseas account of a Swiss bank couldn't store that huge amount of gray funds.
That's right, the diamonds that Chen Ze gave Nancy were all blood diamonds from Sierra Leone. After working in the arms industry for five years, he had gone from an arms dealer to the leader of an arms group. Chen Ze naturally could not be a clean and innocent person. It could be said that every sum of money in his hands was stained with the smell of blood. These blood diamonds came from the funds given to Chen Ze by African warlords and dictators. After all, compared to US dollars, they preferred to use blood diamonds, gold, wood, and oil resources to settle accounts.
Now, Chen Ze did not lack money at all. What he lacked was clean money. Hence, the navigator group was born. This company, which was born less than half a year ago, had billions of dollars in funds. Since its registration, it had operated projects all over the world and in all walks of life.
Chen Ze's firearms group was undergoing such a transformation. This was also the process involved in every veteran military group. After the bloody accumulation stage, what they needed to do was to use their own capital to build up enough reputation and influence. Otherwise, for the major countries, a rootless and floating arms group with a large amount of funds was undoubtedly a piece of fat meat.
Therefore, the navigator invested in industries, physical industries, and service industries in various countries, creating a large number of service jobs. In less than half a year, the navigator group had more than 200,000 employees in Omi, and more than 100,000 employees in North America alone!
Chen Ze's goal was very obvious. Once he had a large number of employees, even if he touched the interests of the old tycoons, the big countries would turn a blind eye for the sake of the local employees of the navigator group and would not favor anyone.
As one of the three superpowers with great influence, China was undoubtedly one of the key points of this investment. Even though legal businesses did not make money as quickly as arms smuggling, the protection fees were necessary.
Even though arms dealers had no borders, Chen was not an idiot. He thought he could beat the real arms tycoons like the Five Gangsters. He had once been locked up in the highest level prison in the United States, Pelican Bay Prison. Even though he had learned a lot there, which allowed him to grow further, if it wasn't for the fact that he had dealt with a large number of groups called leaders and weaved a huge network of relationships at the same time. His corpse had long been stinky.
After finishing the glass of whiskey, his phone suddenly rang. He frowned and answered the call. Usually, when a business reached this stage, the usual business would not disturb him. Instead, it would be handed over to the people below.
However, when Chen Ze picked up the call, his expression changed.
Chen Ze scolded impatiently,"What happened? Peace treaty? Two batches of firearms have already been transported over, and you're actually talking to me about a peace treaty? Damn it! Then you can f * cking ship it to the Caucasus! At least if the Balkans said they were going to war, they would go to war on time!”
After hanging up the phone angrily, Chen rubbed his temples helplessly. Although the profits of an arms dealer were indeed high, there were many such accidents. After all, if he wanted to sell firearms at a high price, he would have to run faster than a war. Because of the peace treaty between the two small countries in South Africa, the risk and cost of transshipment had increased exponentially. Even though the arms ban was just a piece of paper to Chen Ze, as an arms dealer, he needed to spend a lot of money to make such a huge profit.
Bribing the officials, armies, customs, borders, and intelligence personnel of various countries required money. Without such a network, how could he sell firearms? He might as well open a gun shop. Because of this matter, Chen Ze had to increase the cost by at least 5 million USD. Even though 5 million dollars was a small number for Chen Ze now. However, the increase in risk was the biggest headache. Fortunately, his huge network of connections allowed him to rest easy.
After putting down the phone in frustration, Chen Ze took out a photo. In it, a very intellectual beauty was strolling on the street with a cute little loli.
"It's time to see the mother and daughter.”Chen whispered and poured himself another glass of whiskey.
