323: Chapter 186: Vehicle Delivery 323: Chapter 186: Vehicle Delivery Soon, the sound of braking ca from outside—the owner of Ard Nation had returned, greeted Sieg, and Allen Zhang also ca out to the hall upon hearing this.
He hadn’t had the chance to et with the other party last ti, but this ti, he saw that he was also a tall and thin middle-aged man wearing gold-rimd glasses, with a lawyer carrying a briefcase by his side.
“I apologize for the wait, I had so private matters to attend to.
Now I have the ti to help my friend handle the gun store transaction.
First, I want to thank you for the favor you did for last ti, successfully escorting the shipnt of military equipnt to Wells Fargo Bank, which was a huge help to .
Of course, I will agree to your requests.”
The owner of Ard Nation said with a smile: “Coincidentally, my friend is getting out of the business and left the weapons store for to handle.
I’ve told you the details already.
If you don’t mind, let’s go take a look at that gun store first.”
“An on-site inspection is certainly necessary,” Sieg nodded, not declining the offer.
The group left the gun store and the owner of Ard Nation took the lead in a Cadillac, while Allen Zhang and the three others followed in a Jeep.
It didn’t take long, after driving just a few streets, they arrived at a construction area near West Street Highway and saw the firmly locked store front of Ard Nation.
The exterior decoration looked very strict, with a sign containing the gun store’s logo and the letters for Thunderbolt Fire, and the windows were sealed with steel plates and bars.
Next door were a car wash and a convenience store.
After getting out of the car, the owner of Ard Nation first went to the backyard to connect the power to the fuse box, used a remote key to enter the password, facial recognition unlock, voice entry, and the gun store doors were unlocked, along with the bulletproof steel plates on the windows being retracted.
“This is a theft-proof door lock system used by security companies and banks.
The nature of our business is quite special, so security asures must be taken care of.
Otherwise, if a registered firearm is lost without a transaction record and it appears on the market causing fatalities, we cannot avoid responsibility.
Please co in and take a look!”
The owner first introduced them to the place, then led them into the gun store.
The interior was not smaller than his own, with targets hanging on the wall, a swordfish decoration, and an aquarium, but the glass and wooden cabinets were now empty, giving the environnt a sowhat vacant feel.
“Of course, what you’re buying is only the qualification of the gun store and the permits for escorting and trading military weapons.
If you want heavy weaponry, you have to find your own channels for sourcing,” said the owner with a smile.
“As long as you decide to buy this store, I can also introduce you to so professional PMC companies, arms dealers, military contacts, or street-level gun runners.
If you work hard, you can definitely make a lot of money from it!”
He then took them to view the ground floor sales hall, the rest area, the second-floor offices, and the backyard.
The essential indoor facilities were all included, with the office even coming with a bonus computer and Skynet cara equipnt.
There was also an armored escort vehicle parked in the backyard.
The owner of Ard Nation turned on the computer and pulled up an official website link for bidding, giving a demonstration, “This is the military equipnt bidding website we commonly use internally, which we prefer to call the Opportunity Network.
Here you can find a lot of information about military zones and arms deals, from transporting security equipnt like bullets and gun oil for the police force to partnering with PMCs and officials for air transport of heavy weaponry to other states and even countries.”
“The qualifications of this Ard Nation can also be checked on it, holding a two-star qualification.
Most gun stores in the market only have general qualifications, which only allow them to purchase and trade common small-caliber civilian firearms, such as handguns and submachine guns, excluding military equipnt.
Those with connections can apply for higher qualifications, which allow the trade of assault rifles, machine guns, sniper rifles, RPGs, and large-caliber firepower weapons.
Every state has different laws regarding firearms and different qualifications.”
“A One Star gun store like Ard Nation can deal in many heavy and large-caliber military equipnt, while a two-star qualification allows for the escort and transport of heavy weapons, purchase of armored escort vehicles, private car bulletproof glass modifications, entry to police stations, participation in bidding, and access to special places like military zones.”
Allen Zhang glanced at the trading interface on the official website, which was quite ordinary and similar to browsing any regular Opportunity Network.
It featured product photos with descriptions and prices, where buyers can contact the store for trade and sales, alongside tasks for gun store escorts.
After looking into the escort tasks, they found they involved taking on assignnts from clients or collaborating with other gun stores and companies to escort shipnts of military equipnt with contraband to designated locations—essentially renting vehicles and personnel, deceiving authorities, with profits of at least 20,000 US Dollars per job.
People in this line of work were no strangers to such operations.
For example, one of the tasks listed was [Transporting a shipnt of security equipnt including Tasers and Hand Grenade military equipnt to Lo County Police Departnt], which on the surface seed unproblematic.
However, there was another note indicating the need to transport so paper docunts to the [county councilor]’s private residence.
As for what exactly those docunts were, that was open to interpretation.
Regardless, these were all transactions.
As long as the client is willing to pay and there’s money to be made, the Ard Nation’s escort vehicle would likely turn a blind eye.
On the surface, it’s the transportation of military equipnt, but who knows what’s really inside the vehicle.
The profit from just selling firearms certainly isn’t that high.
