NOVEL NEXT WORLD Chapter 25
Chapter 25: Zhao Renzhou’s Plan, Profiting from the Free State
Zhao Bao couldn’t help but take in a sharp breath, “Hiss—”
“General.” Just two words, and he could already sense his older brother’s ambition. He couldn’t help but feel a surge of excitement.
“No problem,” Zhao Bao said. “I’ll handle it this afternoon.”
Zhao Renzhou nodded and continued, “In the future, the group and the organization will be separate. All actions will be governed by contracts.
Proper personnel management in this area is essential. If it doesn’t work out, I’ll go back to Longguo in a while. I’ll find some professional personnel. From now on, the organization will only export raw materials.”
The earlier points were manageable, but when it came to only exporting raw materials, Zhao Bao was a bit puzzled, “Only exporting raw materials? What about our factories…?”
The price difference between raw materials and finished products, like rock sugar, was quite significant. Doing it this way would undoubtedly result in a significant loss of money.
Zhao Renzhou said:
“Once we’ve sold the raw materials for this quarter,”
“We’ll convert the money into gold.”
“I’ll go and get an AK production line.”
“By then, we’ll transform the entire factory.”
“Into a military production line.”
“While selling ice sugar yields massive profits,”
“When it comes to facing the entire country one day,”
“It could all go up in smoke.”
“Only by possessing genuine military weaponry,”
“Can we avoid being manipulated…”
“So from now on…”
“We won’t just sell raw materials,”
“But we’ll also sell military arms…”
“Become the largest arms dealer in Asia…”
In his previous life, Zhao Renzhou,
Used the conflict between the driver and the Russians,
To exploit the military arms market.
Establishing a secret military factory,
Making money on both sides.
Thinking back to those days now,
It was truly exhilarating…
It was even more profitable than selling ice sugar…
One AKM could fetch as much as two thousand Freedom Coins.
Not to mention those customized rocket-propelled grenades.
The lowest-priced one,
Cost several tens of thousands of Freedom Coins.
But he made too much money.
Directly influencing the course of the war.
The Russians, who initially had their supply lines cut off,
He ended up supplying them…
Although he made a lot of money,
He was double-crossed.
The driver even sacrificed a base,
To get him out of there…
Don’t be fooled by the swagger of these Golden Triangle drug lords today.
That’s because they haven’t provoked the right people.
In his previous life, those drug lords who ruled the Golden Triangle,
Once they truly angered the government,
Faced the overwhelming power of the nation,
This general and that general…
All disappeared without a trace…
Having money alone was useless…
Weapons were in high demand.
With planes and tanks in action,
They couldn’t put up a fight.
Zhao Renzhou understood this well.
So, he planned to set up an AK production line first.
Getting his hands on some AKs in the meantime.
After all, he had only occupied three towns for now.
Having guns was enough.
When he eventually defeated Minden,
Occupying the entire Kexin Republic,
Then he couldn’t do without airplanes and cannons.
Tanks, rocket launchers, and armed helicopters were all on the agenda. His goals were not limited to Kexin Republic, nor just the Golden Triangle. He had to expand and become strong on an international scale.
As soon as Zhao Renzhou outlined his complete plan, Zhao Bao had no objections:
“Alright, I’ll have them stop working soon,” Zhao Bao said.
Zhao Renzhou nodded and said, “As for the raw materials… We’ll start selling them to Mexico. Most of the raw materials in Mexico are imported from Latin America. We can grab a share of that market.”
A wry smile tugged at the corner of Zhao Bao’s mouth: “Mexico… that’s quite a distance. If we’re competing in that market, we might earn less.”
Zhao Renzhou chuckled, “That doesn’t really matter. Our raw materials will definitely break even, and their value is there for all to see.
The most important thing is that Mexico sells its ice sugar to the Free Republic. That reason alone is sufficient.
