Chapter 1309 – Big business
Ralph hangs up the phone and looks at Feng Yu embarra.s.sedly. “Boss, Senator Sanders says he is in New York and wishes to speak to you. He is on his way over and will be arriving soon.
Feng Yu is very unhappy. Sanders is arriving soon means he had received information when Feng Yu’s private jet touchdown at the airport.
They are monitoring my movements!
Feng Yu decided that he must teach this Sanders a lesson!
“Fine. I will wait for him here and see how he is going to convince me.”
Less than ten minutes later, the security guards downstairs reported that Mr. Sanders had arrived.
Ralph saw Feng Yu nodded and asked the security guards to let him enter.
Sanders is very excited. He is going to meet the World’s Richest Man and have connections to China through him. This will be great for his political career.
The x.x.x family has a strong influence within the House because they have ties with Moscow.
Sanders even felt that if Feng Yu is willing to support his campaign with funds, he might even run for the President next term!
Sanders had sent his men to watch the airport closely, and when Feng Yu’s plane requested to land in New York, he rushed to the Wind and Rain Empire State Building.
If it wasn’t for some issues on the road, Sanders should arrive around the same time as Feng Yu.
But it’s not too late now. Sanders felt he had shown enough sincerity. China needs to build a good diplomatic relationship with the US now, and Feng Yu has lots of investments in the US. It will be a win-win situation for them if they can cooperate.
“Sir, please stand here and stop moving. We need to conduct a body search to ensure our Boss’s safety.”
Sanders is mad. “Do you all know who I am!? how dare you all want to search me?!”
He is a Senator! How can these people do this to him?!
“I’m sorry, but we have to protect our hirer. Please don’t make things difficult for us. We are from the Blackwater Company!”
Blackwater claimed to be the world’s top private security company globally and has businesses all over the world. Although such claims are exaggerated, this company owns planes and tanks.
Sanders might be a Senator, but the Blackwater Security Officers are not afraid of him because of their company’s background!
“I want to speak to you, Boss.” Sanders took a step back. He doesn’t want to clash with these crazy men from Blackwater Security. Everyone knows that they will only listen to their hirers!
“Sir, I will repeat to you again. Let us search you, and we will let you enter, or you can leave now. We will escort you down. This is private property, and we have the right to remove you, even if you are the US President!” The Security team leader firmly replied.
Sanders’s face turned red, and he knows his two bodyguards are no match for them.
Sanders raised his arms and allowed the Blackwater officers to search him. This is an insult! Feng Yu’s bodyguards searched him thoroughly.
Sanders felt like shouting to them. Do you think I can hide a gun in my a.s.s?! I also don’t have any reason to attack Feng Yu. Even if we didn’t reach a deal, we could still be friends. Do you all need to treat me this way?!
Sanders’s bodyguards are stopped outside as Feng Yu is only willing to meet him. Only Feng Yu’s bodyguards are allowed in his office.
Feng Yu and Ralph were in Feng Yu’s office when Sanders entered, and Feng Yu is listening to music and enjoying freshly brewed tea.
“Mr. Feng…”
“Shh….” Ralph gestured to Sanders to keep quiet.
Sanders is stunned. What is the meaning of this? Does he need to wait until Feng Yu finishes listening to this song? Also, these two men were treating him as someone invisible and did not even offer him a seat.
But Sanders wants to befriend Feng Yu and chose to tolerate this.
When Feng Yu is listening to the song, he is also observing Sanders. He is quite surprised to see Sanders did not lose his temper and did not sit down.
It’s hard to deal with someone who knows when to yield and when not.
After the song ended, Feng Yu stopped the music player with a remote. “You are Mr. Sanders?”
“Nice to meet you, Mr. Feng. My name is Ray Sanders. I am a Senator and also a businessman.
“You say you want to discuss firearms business with me?”
Sanders could tell Feng Yu is not interested in this business from his expression and had heard about it from Ralph during their phone call.
“Mr. Feng, I know many people don’t like to touch this business, but I only need you to introduce China’s representative to us. Also, we are not going to buy China’s top military equipment. We only want to buy the ordinary and consumable items.”
Sanders saw Feng Yu frowning and continued. “The US is in a war now, but we are not purchasing China’s weapons and equipment for the US military, and the US government is not involved in this business. Wars are happening around the world. For example, many countries in Africa have been in war for years, and guns, bullets, and bulletproof vests are in high demand in the world.”
“US, Russia, and a few European countries’ guns are the most popular. Although I am not willing to admit it, AK is the world’s best-selling gun. But now, most of the AKs are not produced by Russia or other former Soviet Union countries. It’s those Arabic countries that are producing. China’s bullets are the most popular as they are famous for being cheap and stable. But your country doesn’t have any arms dealer, and it’s the Chinese government and military controlling them.”
“Among the bulletproof vests, the most popular lightweight vests are produced by China too. You all have sold to some countries, but most of it ended up in Africa and other warzones, and the prices had tripled there!”
“Feng, think about the profits in this business. Even if we include the shipping and high production costs, our profits will be more than 100%! We can also reach some political agreements to get the local government to protect our citizens there.”
“Of course, China’s grenades and other equipment are also very popular, but it’s hard to get them. Mr. Feng, you might not be interested in this business, but are you sure your country is not interested?”
Feng Yu did not expect China’s military products to be so popular despite having a weak military and R&D.
Sanders is right. Feng Yu is not sure if the higher-ups are interested in this deal. After all, Feng Yu had heard from Bing City Aviation’s Old Hou that China is also thinking of selling military equipment to make money. The money earned will be used to research and develop newer weapons. But the Western counties had monopolized this market.
Should I inform the higher-ups about this?
