King Of War: Starting with Arms Dealer

Joe Ga had heard Ayu's story and knew that she could not bear children, so he easily guessed what the so-called 'children' really were.

Driven by curiosity, he pointed at the leopard in the courtyard and said, "Do you have other 'children'? Why don't you release them into the wild?"

Ayu shook her head and replied, "Those 'children' were all snatched from poachers. I've set free those that could be released, the rest are either injured or have physical defects.

Letting them go would be forcing them to die!"

For the first time, Joe Ga really saw what people call the light of humanity in an African, and it felt very strange. A person who struggled to feed herself had saved so many animals...

Karman once said that kindness backed by violence was true kindness!

Ayu definitely met Karman's standards for 'kindness'!

This woman, with a body like that of a goddess, had faced inhuman treatment but still held a passion for life.

Joe Ga liked such a person, so he had to keep her there, no matter what.

However, thinking about taking care of a bunch of 'children', Joe Ga still carefully asked, "Exactly how many 'children' do you have?"

After hearing this, Ayu counted on her fingers and answered, "One black rhinoceros, two elephants, one baby elephant, one warthog, two lions, four cheetahs, one black eagle, and finally, that leopard."

Joe Ga, somewhat incredulously, asked, "How do you take care of them all by yourself?"

Ayu shrugged her shoulders and said, "I hunt, and then spend some money to hire a few kids..."

"You use kids to feed the animals?"

Ayu corrected him seriously, "I hire children to find the favorite food of the elephants and rhinos. They feed the elephants and rhinos, and then they can also have a full meal."

Joe Ga waved his hand and laughed, "I think you've got it all wrong. From now on, listen to me. I can not only ensure your 'children' are well-fed, but I can also help them earn money."

As he said this, Joe Ga looked around at the eerie stares of the people, spread his hands, and laughed, "Don't look at me like that, I'm telling the truth.

Why keep them to yourself when we can apply for a license to establish an animal rescue station? They have something similar in the national park to the east, you must have heard of it.

But we need to change our approach, depending on the SD government for subsidies is unrealistic. We should allow compassionate people to come and work like oxen and horses for the animals, and they must leave behind food money for them.

Think about it, exquisite grassland lodges, waking up to the magnificent view of the grasslands, then after breakfast, you could go feed the lions or go jogging with the cheetahs.

How much would it cost to stay in such a place for one night?

We could also take them on an airplane tour of the grasslands, and for the braver ones, we could walk with them into the grasslands to hunt a wild bull or an antelope, allowing them to bring home a trophy.

How much should we charge for such a service?"

Joe Ga's somewhat pyramid scheme-like speech had even Karman's son, Muto, breathing heavily with excitement, but unfortunately, Sayram shattered all the illusions with a single sentence.

"Where are you going to find people to come here and spend that much money? The occasional white visitors come because it's more primitive here."

Joe Ga laughed and replied, "Of course, I was just thinking out loud. But what I said earlier was sincere. Even without customers, we can start first."

How much does it cost to build a few houses in Ad-Damazin?

I know some folks in the Chinese construction team; with land in hand, I can draw up the plans and find people to build the guesthouse hotel myself. It could be done in half a month.

Take it slow from there, and in fact, the main issue is safety. As long as the situation in SD stabilizes completely, attracting guests won't be difficult at all.

"Do you believe if I took a photo with Ayu and posted it on DouLang, I could gain tens of thousands of followers by tomorrow? Among them are bound to be a few with the guts and thick wallets. As long as we provide full hospitality, this route will grow quickly," he said.

As he spoke, Joe Ga looked at Muto, who became excited again, and smiled, "Don't get too excited just yet; this matter is closely tied to the security situation. Whether the business goes well depends on whether there's war or not.

But like I said, get things started and keep at it. Having a start gives us something to aim for, at the very least to give Ayu's 'children' a permanent place to stay."

Joe Ga was indeed earnest. If initially, he had only wanted to start a company as a front for his 'career,' now it was different; who doesn't like a legitimate business?

In fact, Joe Ga wasn't very confident about his arms dealing business. Holding Gaddafi's legacy, he still needed to find buyers to convert it into cash.

The travel company was different. Even if it didn't make money at the start, it didn't matter; it was enough that it served as a cover for now.

And honestly, building a 'resort' wouldn't cost much, especially since the land here was almost like being given away for free.

There is a vast wilderness near Sayram's private airport; if you're willing to spend some money, you can enclose as large an area as you want.

Located near the Blue Nile, there's no shortage of water, and now there's power too. It really wouldn't be hard to build a moderately upscale resort.

Joe Ga's investment in the hangar was nearing completion. Now it was simply a matter of increasing the scale of work, something Sayram was adept at. With adequate payment, this old hand could sort everything out nicely.

This guy helped Joe Ga with the company paperwork, and just for the commission, he took $20,000 US, not to mention putting in his airport and plane as a stake, earning 20% company shares. If Joe Ga was willing to invest more money, he was more than eager.

Sayram probably knew what Joe Ga's business was about, but he was a real slick operator; he could guess certain things, but he never asked or thought about them. As long as there was a profit to be made, he could even give up his curiosity.

As one of the elders of the Ad-Damazin local tribes, Sayram may not have significant authority, but he held considerable influence, perfectly sheltering Joe Ga's 'small business.'

Now that he had put his most important assets, the airport and the planes, into the company, everyone was in the same boat, naturally committed to giving their best.

Joe Ga calculated all the funds he had left. The dozen or so kilograms of gold were untouchable; that was his capital. In an emergency, taking portable assets that also held their value was both convenient and safe.

The $2 million from Boss Huang, plus the $400,000 in cash seized from the Italians, and the $200,000 in goods payment from the generous Mr. Lu, totaled $2.6 million.

However, since Karman gave up his share of the gold, and Joe Ga had promised him a third, only $200,000 remained from the seizure.

From Boss Huang's $2 million, Joe Ga had promised Nis and Karman each a fifth, leaving him with $1.2 million.

After deducting $500,000 for the helicopter, $100,000 for the three to learn to fly, and various other initial investments, Joe Ga was left with just under $900,000 in cash.

Would that be enough? Joe Ga felt it might be tight because he still needed to purchase many pieces of equipment for the hangar and oil. Under ideal circumstances, it would be best to hire a professional pilot to ensure the company's daily operations.

After calculating, Joe Ga suddenly felt his wallet tightening again.

The helicopter would arrive in two days, and Joe Ga thought he should use these few days of downtime to figure out how to get more money.

When he thought about money, Joe Ga subconsciously pulled out his business phone, and as if possessed, the phone rang!
