Chapter 54: 54 Thoughts After Having Money

The second trade was successfully completed within 48 hours!

Joe Ga didn't stay in South SD for long and quickly used the helicopter to fly back to Ad-Damazin.

It was still the gazelles, but without the novelty, flying the helicopter had become a burden.

They flew from the southeast of SD to the northwest, and then from the northwest to the south to deliver goods—covering a staggering 8,000 kilometers—and it was just the three of them.

In reality, it was only two, because Karman couldn't handle helicopters well, only simple fixed-wing aircraft.

After returning to Ad-Damazin, Joe Ga was so exhausted that he slept for two days at home before he recovered.

By the time Joe Ga fully regained his energy, he was surprised to find that his travel company had already started doing business.

A few fellows, indistinguishable as scientific researchers or journalists, had entered the town and rented the company's planes and also booked guiding and sightseeing services.

It was said that their primary purpose was to observe the ecological impact of the dam on the Blue Nile Basin.

In Joe Ga's opinion, they were really just squandering money.

Coming to see the dam, why run off to Al Dinder National Park? Is hunting necessary to observe the dam's condition?

Publicly-funded eating, drinking, and merry-making isn't exclusive to any one country; those from Europe and America are actually even better at this, except they wrap their actions in a different guise to make everything look more reasonable.

Sayram had been handling these businesses, Joe Ga didn't understand them, nor could he get involved, but it was said to be quite profitable.

However, Joe Ga was no longer interested in such small businesses. As soon as he had recuperated, he phoned the head of logistics for the Egyptian Army Aviation and spent 500,000 to order two more gazelles.

It wasn't that Joe Ga was rash, but the price of a single transaction was too low. They couldn't justify it on their end, nor provide the major maintenance and exterior painting as Joe Ga requested.

You might think that it's not a big deal for their army logistics to do it themselves, but if you try to do it on your own, it really is both time-consuming and laborious.

Joe Ga wasn't too upset about spending the money, because it was definitely going to be profitable.

After the faxed contract was signed and they agreed to deliver within 10 days, Joe Ga himself went to Kamu to send the 100,000 deposit, and also transferred another 100,000 into his younger brother's account, telling him to try buying a house back in their hometown. He then went to the places where Chinese people were numerous to purchase a lot of things, and after that, he returned to Ad-Damazin.

After busying himself with all the tasks at hand, the first thing Joe Ga did was to summon Nis and Karman to divide the money.

This time, they had made a total of 1.5 million US dollars. Since it was truly a cost-free business, minus the fuel costs, all other money was pure profit.

Joe Ga had promised Karman and Nis that they could each take 20% from the contents of the arms depot, which amounted to three hundred thousand each.

Karman and Nis had no interest in gold, so Joe Ga collected all the gold and paid out of his pocket to make up six hundred thousand, allowing each to receive three hundred thousand in cash.

Karman was too pleased with such a gain. The moment he got the money, he went home to hide it away, just waiting for his son's visa to come through so he could send him to enjoy life in Europe.

However, Joe Ga could sense that Karman's son Muto seemed reluctant to leave now, for a simple reason— he had money.

Once you have money, life doesn't seem too hard wherever you are.

The guy had been helping out in the company lately, showing a lot of initiative, and on several occasions, he tried subtly to probe Joe Ga, wanting to ask if he could also set up a similar business.

Because of Karman, Joe Ga also dared not casually give Muto advice, although he personally thought starting a tourism company was a good idea.

As long as it wasn't in Ad-Damazin, going to Ethiopia or even to southern SD would be fine as long as the security situation was no problem, and making money was still possible.

Their natural resources were much better than those of SD, a place plagued with deserts.

Although Muto was semi-illiterate, he could speak English, Arabic, and even a bit of Amharic, the official language of Ethiopia, because his deceased wife was Ethiopian.

Someone like him who could speak three languages would have a starting annual salary of 300,000 RMB in China. Unfortunately, Muto was born in the wrong place, and he could only listen and speak; reading and writing were very difficult for him, otherwise he would truly be a talent.

However, Joe Ga couldn't be concerned with that matter. After sending off Karman, he turned his head and saw that Nis seemed somewhat indifferent to the cash laid out in front of her.

Joe Ga asked with a bit of curiosity, "What's wrong? Not happy seeing money?"

Nis glanced at Joe Ga and shook her head, saying, "No, I'm thinking about what to do with this money?" seaʀᴄh thё ηovёlFire .net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Joe Ga, with a shrug, said, "If you can't think of anything, then don't think about it for now, just put it in a bank. As long as the amount isn't too big, it won't draw too much attention.

China Bank, as a universal bank, is very reliable. Deposit it, and you'll always find a use for it someday."

After hearing this, Nis shook her head and said, "No, I want to help out Ayu. Her life is very tough, and I want to take out a portion of the money to help her take care of those injured animals."

While speaking, Nis hesitated a moment, then looked at Joe Ga earnestly and said, "Also, I want to change my gun. The TAC-50 is very good, but after two battles in Darfur, I've found that the TAC-50 shoots too slowly, and it's too heavy.

In the past, when I was on missions, I was protected by comrades, so the precision of the rifle was the most critical. But now, I realize I need faster mobility, a larger cartridge capacity, and higher precision.

As long as there's a suitable gun, I'm willing to pay for it myself, no matter how much it costs!"

Joe Ga was a bit scratching his head; he couldn't imagine what kind of gun would meet Nis's needs.

It needed to be fast, light, high-capacity, and highly precise—such a gun was not easy to find.

If it was just about a sharpshooter rifle for 600 to 800 meters, then there were plenty of choices, but Nis's shooting range was over 1300 meters; getting just any sharpshooter rifle would be a waste of her talent.

Seeing the hope in Nis's eyes, Joe Ga scratched his head and asked, "Do you have anything in mind?"

Nis was silent for a long time before shaking her head and saying, "In the past, I had a spotter partner, so I only needed to carry one rifle, and the TAC-50 was suitable.

But now I am alone, my rifle can't be too heavy, because I also need to carry a submachine gun for close defense.

I haven't thought it through, because I haven't tried many good guns.

But I know for sure you understand better, you're the fastest and most accurate shooter I've seen, and you're my boss, as well as the commander. I need your advice."

The feeling of being trusted is great, especially when one's own expertise is affirmed, the feeling is even better.

Joe Ga thought for a while, then said with a smile, "Then wait a moment, I'll go get a new gun...

When we went to Egypt last time, I visited a defense exhibition where some of the latest equipment was displayed, and I happened to get a new gun."
