Chapter 255 Abstraction
Zhang Ailun signaled to Zorro next to him to open the box and check the goods. He went back to the truck, found a handy wrench, pried open the tightly sealed box, and sure enough, he saw some mechanical parts inside.
Nuts, screws, and plastic sealing strips are all sealed in plastic bags, as well as some incomprehensible steel plates, circuits, buttons, displays, and mechanical parts.
Malushin handed the prepared list to the chief leader and asked him to review it. "This is the price and project list of the scrap steel you are recycling. If possible, please transfer the money to us. This time, we need to be more formal and divide it into two accounts, one for the scrap sale project account of the aircraft graveyard, and the other for our personal account."
Zhang Ailun took a look at the printed project list, which had the selling prices of the parts densely written on it. All of them were labeled as officially scrapped, and were sold publicly through formal channels.
In order to be more legal, they have also been more careful. When determining whether a part is scrapped, they will mark it with words such as "about to be scrapped" or "remaining xx times of useful life".
Because attack aircraft in service have a life span of takeoff sorties, they will be forced to retire and sent to an aircraft graveyard when their life span is about to expire. Ground crews will remove some parts that have been replaced in the mid-term or recently, and continue to use them as spare parts on in-service aircraft.
Those parts that are about to be scrapped or have expired their service life will be reviewed and processed as scrap steel resources and exported to metal recycling companies or scrap recycling stations. This is also an official and legal process.
Parts that are about to be scrapped or expired are not unusable. Military standards are much higher than civilian standards. The take-off life of an in-service aircraft has come to an end, but it can still be used for many years in civilian use. After all, it will not go to the battlefield and the driving intensity is not high.
You can buy the parts of the airplane even if you have the ability to assemble them yourself.
But this thing is too risky, and the government will not compensate for any accidents.
In order to make more money, Marushin and his colleagues would put such labels on good parts to fix bugs. Even if retired machines appear in various regions, the authorities will not pay too much attention to it, because checking the registered parts serial number can tell whether it is a scrapped part. Even if you assemble a retired scrapped machine and play with it yourself, how many days can you play with it?
Why not give some benefits to those civilian military enthusiasts and sell the scraps at a high price?
The original intention of promoting any bill is good, but I didn’t expect there would be bad people in the team!!
There are policies and measures to counter.
Those crazy intellectuals, in order to make money by sucking blood, took advantage of all kinds of loopholes. They said that some parts did not meet the service use standards, and some parts were scrapped. There was no way to stop them!
The auditors don't dare to check. If they do, they'll either find the plane exploded or there was a heart attack. There's nothing they can find out.
Blocking someone's path to wealth is like killing their parents, who dares to do that? Who can afford to offend a warlord?
After Zhang Ailan finished checking the parts, he immediately took a photo and sent it to Dominic, asking him to transfer the scrap recycling money to the aircraft cemetery's account through Alfred Scrap Recycling Station, Wall-E Recycling Station, and two other recycling station accounts.
The recycling price of scrap steel, the steel price of the entire Warthog is only about 40,000 to 50,000 US dollars in total.
The remaining 145 million US dollars was all the difference made by Marushin and his team!
Of course, the leader made more money. He bought the Warthog parts for 150 million, assembled them and sold them to his Mexican brother for 888 million US dollars.
This is A10. I sell it at a relatively low price here and guarantee that it is sturdy and durable. If you switch to other channels, they will sell it to you for at least 1000 million, and the quality of the components is not guaranteed.
Zero negative reviews! Because the attack aircraft disintegrated and exploded in mid-air just after taking off.
Malushin received a text message reminding him that his account had been credited, and his face was filled with joy at having become rich. "This time I sent you some small parts. Next time I will disassemble the aircraft and airfreight it to you free of charge."
"Then you can just deliver it to the airport in the suburbs. It's not convenient to receive it here." Zhang Ailun suggested, "It's too troublesome for me to come here every time."
"Okay." Marushen wrote down the distribution location provided by the chief leader, and immediately waved his hand and left.
Zhang Ailun and Zorro started moving the goods. It took them half an hour to pack everything up before they got in the car and headed for the suburban airport.
After dealing with these parts, he sent a message to Qibatu, informing him that some new parts had arrived and that he could try to arm them when he had time.
Qibatu directly sent the chief a photo of a small wooden house in the suburbs, buckets of clay explosives in rubber barrels, and a drone that he ordered online and purchased in person.
The brands include not only Leihuo drones, but also several drones produced by Mayweather, and other miscellaneous drone brands.
It seems that only the Leihuo and Mayweather drones are of better quality. Qibatu and several Beggar Gang disciples are rubbing detonators and clay detonators by hand, tearing off the labels of all the unknown brand drones and replacing them with Leihuo's logo labels. More than a hundred drones have been modified and they are still very simple to operate.
Zhang Ailun: How much did you pay for this thing?
Qibatu: Sig and Bailey went to San Francisco this morning and bought 500 drones from a friend of his, each costing $120-160, for a total of more than $8. The transaction was handled by the account of the Armed Nation. There is definitely no problem with the quality. I have tested it and it can be operated using the electromagnetic radar matrix.
Zhang Ailun: If you hadn't told me, I would have almost forgotten that the radar matrix also costs money. After all, this is the software we programmed ourselves. If they want to use it, they have to pay the copyright fee! The price is $20 per hour, fair to everyone, and it comes with subsequent version updates of the software. If you buy it out, you will have to pay him an additional $5.
Chibatu: ...
At $1 an hour, that's $20 for 24 hours a day.
When it comes to making money, they are still not as good as the leader. It can be said that others can be the boss, while they are just lousy employees.
Zhang Ailun: But it’s a two million dollar business after all, so let’s just let it go this time and let them try it out for free. We’ll have to charge them next time.
Qibatu: OK.
Zhang Ailun contacted Xige again to discuss whether the goods should be shipped by water or air. In the end, they chose the inexpensive sea transportation, renting a Matson clipper for only $2000 a day.
The price of Matson Clippers is affected by market demand and shipping market fluctuations. Recent market data shows that the price of leasing a clipper fluctuates between 9 and 12 yuan. If the cargo volume exceeds 500 kilograms, the price of Matson Clippers is 13 yuan per kilogram. This batch of arms worth two million yuan actually weighs less than two tons, about 1600 kilograms, and the freight cost is more than US dollars.
It takes about 7-10 days to get from the southern port of Los Angeles or the Long Beach port to the Manzanillo port. Customs clearance usually takes about 2 days, container pickup and unpacking takes about 3 days, and delivery takes 3 to 6 days. If you pay extra for express delivery, you can avoid customs clearance and container pickup and unpacking procedures, and it actually only takes two days and 48 hours to arrive.
Through the ordering list of official channels, they only need to send the goods to the port of Mexico, and someone will pick them up at the door, and the cost of road delivery is also avoided.
Of course, in order to better promote the cooperation project, the chief leader is also prepared to fly over in a bird helicopter at the appointed time to sell the popular products to the other party.
After finishing the transportation business, Zhang Ailun also asked Zorro to drive to the mountain camp of the Kiliya Mountains. He comforted the Beggar Gang disciples stationed in the mountain camp, and visited the laborers who were forcibly detained here, as well as several victims.
Looking through the window at the victims who had recovered well in spirit and the priest who had become demented and unconscious, Zhang Allen praised them generously and patted Dr. Jerry on the shoulder, "You are quite good at this."
"Sir, could you please not send me to prison? I can continue to research chemical agents and neurotoxins if I stay with you. You will be able to use me sooner or later." Dr. Jerry begged.
Zhang Ailun thought about it and felt that although this guy had no conscience, he had not done anything bad under his teaching. He could not be said to have changed his ways, but at most he used the neurotoxin where it was needed.
It is such a pity that such a talent is buried like this.
What if someone gets him out after he's been thrown into prison? Wouldn't he be persecuting others again? Who doesn't have a few chemical geniuses in their hands these days?
I nodded and agreed to him immediately, "Ok, I can not send you to prison, let you live and work for me. But you can not leave the mountain camp, nor leave the Kiliyad Mountains, unless I need you to leave. You also have to promise me that you will never use those neurotoxins on innocent ordinary people in the future, otherwise I will use them on you sooner or later!"
"Are those laborers you detained here innocent ordinary people?" asked Dr. Jerry.
"Human traffickers are not even considered human beings, how can they be called ordinary people? I'm talking about the people you bought."
Zhang Ailun even suspected that the old man had been in contact with too many chemicals on a daily basis, inhaled too many neurotoxins, and developed brain disease.
Dr. Jerry's expression eased. "That's fine. I've been thinking about how to increase the dosage of the drug and improve its effect. I was just wondering whether I should give it to them!"
He became very excited when talking about this, but unfortunately the people present knew nothing about chemistry, and they would reduce their contact with him on weekdays. Even when meeting him, they had to wear chemical protective clothing and masks to avoid being infected.
As a result, he doesn't even have anyone to discuss academic issues with. On weekdays, he can only chat with priests and believers. Now even the priests have become emo and can't speak at all.
"Don't create any biochemical crisis for me then..." Zhang Ailun's face changed slightly.
"How is that possible? We need at least porphyria patients and rabies patients as research samples and data, and inject them with a large amount of stimulants and hallucinogens, before it is possible to have contagious properties."
Dr. Jerry immediately gave some scientific advice to the leader, who had no chemistry skills.
"In fact, I met several academic experts when I was in prison. They had cooperated with Cia to conduct human research in a small town. But after the new president came to power, he issued a prohibition bill to crack down on human trafficking. As a result, the research institute in that town was abolished, and the people were imprisoned and sentenced to death. They were bailed out before I got out. I heard that they were conducting organ transplantation and human cloning research with a wealthy tycoon."
"What happened next?" Zhang Ailun asked.
"Then the rich man got infected with foot rot and died."
Dr. Jerry answered honestly, "Because they used cloning technology to cultivate animal kidneys. At the strong request of the rich man's son, they transplanted sheep kidneys into his father's body. Unfortunately, he was infected with animal bacteria and could not be saved at all."
Zhang Ailun: “…”
Damn, are all these rich people so abstract? Can't human organs satisfy them anymore?
"That's nothing. Some rich people even replaced their lower body organs with donkeys. If you don't know this, it just means you are ignorant." Dr. Jerry said these were all minor issues.
"He must have died of organ rejection later." Zhang Ailun knew his fate without even thinking about it.
"That's right. Some people are crazier than you think. It may be because they are too empty, too rich, and have enjoyed everything, so they tend to go to extremes."
Dr. Jerry sighed, "The rich man who was in contact with the priest had thought about sex change. I don't know if he had the operation. Before you came, his people ordered the anesthetic of Twilight Lover from me."
"..."
"If, I mean if, you can help me find a few academic experts, I will definitely be able to develop a more powerful best-selling product." Dr. Jerry made his request.
"Are you referring to your cellmates?" Zhang Ailun asked doubtfully.
"That's right. Having them here definitely makes me more motivated," Dr. Jerry nodded.
"If there are any relevant clues, I will find someone to invite them over."
Zhang Ailun turned and left after he finished speaking. He really couldn't continue chatting with this lunatic. All he could say was that he was worthy of being the attending physician of the mental hospital and the abstract leader of the second-in-command of Heaven's Gate.
Still a little worried about Dr. Jerry, Zhang Allen went to visit the workers. Fortunately, they enjoyed their meals and worked enthusiastically, and at least there was no mutation.
He found a Beggar Gang disciple and warned him, "Keep a close eye on him. Don't let him use the medicine recklessly or someone will die."
"Don't worry, boss. The guns in our hands are not vegetarian. He usually stays in the research institute by himself. We have also put electronic handcuffs on him. If his heart rate speeds up or he has unrealistic thoughts, he will definitely trigger the electric shock mode by himself!" The Beggar Gang disciple immediately assured.
Zhang Ailun nodded with satisfaction, walked around the camp again, and then felt relieved to get in the car with Zorro to leave the Kiliyad Mountains.
On the way, they went to a small cabin in the suburbs and watched the drone modification work carried out by Qibatu and the disciples of the Beggar Gang, as well as the alchemy site that Qiao Sen was responsible for and the Mexican short-tailed dog.
Some gold and precious metals have been extracted, but it will take some time and overtime to digest the 20 tons of electronic waste.
It was getting late, so Zhang Allen and Zorro drove back to the downtown campground in Los Angeles, got into the RV, and fell asleep with Jennifer by their side.
The next day.
Zhang Ailun woke up in the RV, stretched, took out his mobile phone and took a look at the daily intelligence.
[Daily Intelligence: The fire at the suburban site of Parker Resource Recycling Company was hired by the arch-rival Azure Recycling Company, and the executor was the unemployed scavenger Maggie Team from District 6. Azure Company spent $ to hire his team to hide a batch of flammable and explosive white phosphorus in cans and freeze them, and conspired to ignite the fire. The other party is preparing to join your Beggar Gang to avoid the limelight.]
Hmm? Home delivery?
[Daily Intelligence: The owner of Parker Resource Recycling Company has received a bank bill. You may be able to buy his well-decorated apartment building in the Fifth District and the Newport Seaview Villa in southern Los Angeles at a low price. He has submitted Parker's qualification auction certificate and is waiting for the formalities. The person in charge of reviewing the qualifications is Philip, the chairman of Whale Auctions, who is an acquaintance of Johnson, the councilman of District 5. ]
Multiple choice questions, right?
If the leader bought those two houses, he might have to fight back and withdraw the auction certificate procedures that were under review.
If the leader doesn't buy his house, he may not be able to withstand the pressure and have to sell the company.
So the question is, why didn't I speed up his process and buy his house at the same time?
Zhang Ailun did what he said and planned to contact Supervisor Cooper after getting up and eating to find him something to do.
