Gong Jie almost exploded!
Since when did he keep talking about it?
He could not be bothered to argue with the boy. In terms of a venomous tongue, he prided himself on being second, while Youyou definitely won hands down.
He had no idea what this guy was thinking. Sometimes, he would say something that could anger someone to death.
Gong Jie conceded. “Let’s not talk about this anymore!”
He smiled. “Would you like me to show you around the freighter?”
The boy nodded gladly.
The freighter was huge. How huge?
It had a capacity of 15,000 TEU.
There were hundreds of cargo rooms onboard.
Among them, there were more than ten large storage warehouses that were specially used to carry large parts. For example, parts of fighter planes or some important heavy-duty parts.
Hurricane Group dealt in a broad range of items, from small items like guns and ammunition to fighter planes, they had the most advanced manufacturing technology globally.
However, due to the uniqueness of the fighter jet, they were usually transported by freight carriers, unlike commercial planes and trains.
Fighter planes are huge hence they are usually transported as unassembled parts.
One wing alone would take up a large cargo hold.
Therefore, the large cargo holds of this freighter were used to transport the parts of the fighter planes.
It could normally transport ten fighter jets.
Youyou looked through them one after another and was quite stunned.
It was only when the warehouse door opened and he stood in front of the eight-meter tall entrance, that he realized the size of this freighter.
The height of the door alone was eight meters. It was too shocking.
“So the J-12 fighter jet is that big?”
“What did you think?”
Gong Jie leaned against the door with a profound smile. “The parts of this fighter jet originated from your design.”
He walked up to the boy and said in a deep voice, “This fighter jet is worth USD300 million. Compared to the Eagle of M Nation, J-12 is more suitable for the battlefield in North Africa.”
“According to my calculations, the cost of this fighter aircraft is no more than 10 million yuan. Compared to its selling price, it’s dirt cheap. The military weapons trade is really profitable.”
“What they are buying with these 300 million may not be the fighter jet, but the biggest bargaining chip in the North African battlefield. Although 300 million is expensive, they are very efficient. They even gave up the mining rights of a mine to Hurricane.”
“How despicable.”
Gong Jie did not think much of it. “Despicable? How is that despicable?”
“Do you think I don’t know? The North African political unrest, the reason why the anti-government military forces have the ability to fight against the government, is because the Hurricane Group sold them a batch of high-powered military firearms. A missile blew up the parliament building. Otherwise, the political forces wouldn’t be so anxious to buy this fighter jet.”
Given what he had said, things seemed complicated. But it was actually very simple.
Gong Jie started it all by selling a batch of firearms to the anti-government military in North Africa. This sparked off the war. The government was caught off-guard and the parliament building was reduced to ruins. Hence, in order to balance the situation, the government had no choice but to import a large number of weapons from Hurricane Group.
It was no wonder that Hurricane Group was the world’s largest profiteer group.
Every business has a treacherous side to it. That is not an unfounded saying.
Gong Shaoying was a businessman. Naturally, he wouldn’t do a business that would incur losses.
Although the Hurricane Group did not create wars, it could expand local wars.
This is a chaotic world that is full of unrest every day, while 60% of the wars were made possible by the Hurricane Group, it was also true that 20% of them come to an end because of the Hurricane Group.
