Chapter 0686 Black Market (1)
Since March 1992, Ilham gradually established a stable smuggling channel with Marco. Both sides did not engage in tanks and cannons, but focused on airborne electronic equipment.
For example, the AN/AWG15 fire control system, the AN/ASW27B data transmission system, or it may be the AN/AWG-9 radar. More than 70% of the Persian ‘Tomcats’ have avionics faults, resulting in an embarrassing thing like being able to fly but not being able to use radars.
Sofia once sneaked into HESA, and all the maintenance records of Persian ‘Tomcat’ were in Zhou Qingfeng’s hands. He knew too well what accessories the other party needed, and the ‘goods’ he took out made the other party unable to refuse.
Electronic equipment is small in size, light in weight, high in goods value, and simple in verification.
After several round-trip transactions, Ilham offered to increase the transaction volume - because just a few transactions, HESA repaired two avionics faulty "Tomcats".
This is as effective as a "heart-boosting needle" to boost the morale of the army.
At Borispol Airport in the eastern suburbs of Kiev, Ilham drove to inspect the on-duty personnel and also paid attention to the layout of this military airport.
The idle airport was rented and revitalized by the "Sheng Light" and used as a hub for the group's air transport. The "cargo" collected by Ermao's family was transported here and loaded on airplanes and transported back to China.
Transportation aircraft also transport high-value goods.
The public intellectuals in the city set up a temporary customs at the airport, responsible for handling import and export taxes.
However, the actual tax is less than one-tenth of the theoretical tax, and you only need to give the tax staff one hundred dollars alone to waive tens of thousands of taxes.
also......
With an open attitude, Zhou Qingfeng allowed other forces to borrow airports for air transportation "paid". The loopholes in this transportation line became bigger and bigger, turning the airport into a semi-open black market.
Because of orderly management and fair prices, the underground business at Borispool Airport has become extremely prosperous. There are many religions and mixed snakes and rats, and everyone can make money here.
The airport even has financial institutions to facilitate currency exchange and international transfers. It also provides purchasing and sales agents, providing quality services to customers and merchants who cannot attend in person.
The charge is a bit expensive.
At the airport entrance, soldiers wearing Soviet-style military uniforms looked vicious, and armored vehicles equipped with large-caliber KPV heavy machine guns were responsible for patrol. At night, there were military dogs and searchlights to defend, looking like military bases.
The black market is particularly important for safety. This is particularly important for small businessmen.
Marcos operated this place, and relying on the "Holy Light" can give many people enough benefits. He can eat both black and white, and no one can come here to make trouble, and quickly become a big shot.
Anyone who is searched can enter the airport black market, but unauthenticated people cannot conduct transactions and can only act as tourists to see.
If you want to trade, you must be recognized by Marcos. Only capable customers can set up stalls and set up locations. Ilham has been here several times. He handed his black market certificate to the guard for inspection, and at the same time he had to get off the car for inspection.
"Are the investigations here so strict?" Another old man came with Ilham, extremely dissatisfied with the guard's rude search.
Ilham could only smile at this and whispered: "This is also for everyone's safety. After all, the business here is not something that the outside world knows. But now there are a lot of Western journalists in Kiev and they are very brave."
The airport is very large and provides electric cars for transportation to customers. Ilham takes the old man to the hangar and acts as a tour guide here to explain.
"There were only five hangars here, but there were two more recently. There was a black market inside.
We can buy anything we want here, from guns and ammunition, to artillery missiles, to radar engines. Mr. Marco even offers freight services as long as you pay.
There are food, accommodation, catering, communications, and even women to choose from. There are also banks, which provide mortgage loans and money laundering services, and can open accounts at various European banks.
Although the handling fee is high, it is convenient, fast and safe, and many people need it.”
The electric car approached the first hangar, and two D-30 howitzers were placed at the door, and there were shells for removing the fuse next to it. The hangar was divided for easy visit by customers.
There is a ‘Sam-6’ missile launcher at the door of the second hangar. This thing is still the main air defense weapon of many Asian, African and Latin America countries. The hangar mainly sells Soviet missiles.
The third seat is an armored vehicle, and the fourth seat is an aircraft and electronics. There are more to come.
Each hangar has different types of goods. There is also a small exchange here, dozens of computers and hundreds of phones, which can contact every corner of the world.
The old man on the electric car felt his eyes wide open. He saw a bunch of internationally prohibited goods for sale here, which was simply an international black market defense exhibition, and everything was full of messes.
For example, in the hangar displaying electronic equipment, a "Tomcat" radar is openly placed as a display product. Although this thing is from the 1960s, it still has strong performance.
"This thing is also sold publicly?" The old man walked around the booth for a long time, not sure if the radar was a real thing? If it was a real thing, it would be worth millions of dollars.
"This should be a model, but there are real things in the black market." Ilham followed the old man, "In addition to arms, there are also people's livelihood goods for sale here, and even trades such as oil and coal."
"Can oil be bought and sold here?" The old man was really surprised.
Persia made a lot of money from oil before the 1970s. The life of the upper class was colorful, but the lower class wanted to starve to death on the streets. It was similar to the Republic of China, which was the flower-planting family, so the Pahlavi dynasty was overthrown.
However, after overthrowing Pahlavi, Persia was sanctioned and blocked by Hawks, and fell into great difficulties in international trade. This blockade is not just a statement, but it really will send warships to intercept and inspect the freighters transported by sea.
In addition, financial blockade is even more uncomfortable, and Persia cannot borrow the international currency settlement system developed by the West. Without a settlement system, commerce will be difficult to carry out.
The domestic "ZTE" was caught by Yingshen, and was detained for a transaction with Persia and was implicated and sanctioned. In order to do business with Persia, China even opened a Kunlun Bank for 10 years, bypassing the settlement system of Yingshen.
Therefore, if there is only oil in Persia, it will be useless if it cannot be sold. The strength of Eagle Sauce in the 1990s is not just a saying, it can truly block a country's lifeline and limit its development.
The country is desperately trying to join the WTO, and it is also to integrate into the world trade system, otherwise life will be really hard. I swallowed my anger in those years, but there was no way.
But it is so strange that the black market in the outskirts of Kiev can still buy and sell oil. The old man asked urgently: "How to trade oil here? How to ensure a breakthrough in the international blockade?"
"Behind this black market is a company called 'Sheng Light'. But outsiders don't know what to do."
"Isn't this company afraid of being sanctioned by Europe and the United States?"
"Uh..., because of the contraband trade, the Holy Light has been sanctioned. However, this group is either bartering or smuggling, and doesn't seem to care at all."
