12: Chapter 12 The Time to Show Your Skills Has Arrived
The day after Li Yi returned to Pengcheng, Lin Shan contacted him.
Li Yi, just woken up, looked at the ringing phone, answered it groggily, and asked: "Hello, is something the matter?"
"Mr. Li, sorry to bother you. The two offshore companies you wanted to establish have both been successfully registered." Lin Shan, hearing that his tone wasn't great, quickly said.
Li Yi instantly woke up and subconsciously said: "That fast? I thought the three-day minimum you mentioned was just a promise."
"We expedited the process and coordinated well, so it was handled relatively quickly. We are currently opening bank accounts, which is expected to take a few more days."
"Oh. The bank accounts can be done later, that's fine."
"The physical documents for the offshore companies are needed for opening the bank accounts. I'll send the electronic versions of the company documents to you first; please check them later."
"Okay. Thanks for the trouble, goodbye."
"Goodbye."
Li Yi hung up the phone, hurriedly took out his laptop, and opened his email.
In less than two minutes, Li Yi saw two scanned documents appear before his eyes.
They were the registration documents for Chaos Company and Green Lotus Company.
Looking at these documents, which were only a few pages long, Li Yi couldn't help but smile.
Now, he was someone who owned two companies.
He had just negotiated a large arms deal.
Everything looked so wonderful!
The time to stretch his legs had come.
Let the whole world change because of his appearance!
...
"According to reports from the 'Roadside Agency,' the Israel military spokesperson announced that in response to potential airstrikes, they would dispatch fighter jets to strengthen border patrols between Israel and Syria, Lebanon, Jordan, etc. The missile defense systems deployed in Israel have entered a wartime state to improve the defense of their national airspace."
"Regarding accusations from reporters that Israel fighter jets attacked civilian targets, causing civilian casualties, the Israel military spokesperson did not respond directly, only pointing out that the air force's actions were reasonable strikes carried out entirely in accordance with their national homeland security."
"According to reports from the Russia news agency, the Iran Ministry of Defense issued a statement issuing a stern warning regarding Israel's act of invading Iran, stating that if similar attack incidents occur again, the possibility of directly attacking Israel's territory is not excluded."
"Additionally, according to an anonymous source, in response to the airstrikes launched by Israel, Iran will soon purchase a batch of anti-aircraft missiles to deploy against Israel's drones and maintain the security of its national airspace."
Li Yi looked at the latest news reports; the previous Israel airstrike incident still had significant repercussions.
It likely wouldn't subside in the short term.
Regarding the leak about Iran purchasing anti-aircraft missiles, Li Yi just felt that Iran's confidentiality system was somewhat unreliable.
But he didn't have any resistance to it.
If Iran had a stellar performance after purchasing this batch of Tianlei Series Anti-Aircraft Missile, it would actually do more to make Chaos Company's reputation as an arms dealer known.
For Li Yi, this was the best advertisement for expanding arms sales.
While Li Yi was browsing the news, Mannila called.
After exchanging a few pleasantries, Mannila asked directly: "Manager Li, the arms trading contract between you and Glass House has been signed. When can you pay me the 10% commission?"
Li Yi felt a bit of a headache upon hearing he was here to ask for the commission.
Li Yi had no objections to the 10% commission, which amounted to 45.25 million USD.
However, this arms deal was settled primarily through oil payments, and there were simply no funds to pay Mannila.
Li Yi had to vaguely say: "The contract hasn't been fulfilled yet. Surely the commission should be paid at least after the contract is fulfilled."
"Can you pay a portion first, and pay the rest before the contract is finished?"
Li Yi considered it.
As an arms broker for the Iran military, Mannila should still be able to lobby Iran to purchase more weapons. Paying a portion of the funds could make Mannila more proactive in introducing clients to him.
As long as there were new orders coming his way, he definitely wouldn't lose out.
"Then let's pay 20 million USD first. After Glass House pays the deposit, I will pay you. The payment time for the remainder will be determined later."
Upon hearing that he could get 20 million USD immediately, Mannila was very happy and said: "No problem. I will contact Glass House to pay the deposit as soon as possible. Remember to pay me the commission then."
"Do you have any other clients on hand? If you introduce clients and we reach an arms deal, I will still pay you a commission."
"I do have clients, but you are currently only selling the Tianlei Series Anti-Aircraft Missile and don't have other army weaponry. The quantity they can purchase won't be very large."
Mannila did not make blind promises.
The Tianlei Series Anti-Aircraft Missile could only be used for anti-aircraft combat, and its scope of use was not very large. For some countries or armed organizations, it was still not the highest priority weapon.
Li Yi knew that he had not yet unlocked more weapons and equipment from the Multiverse Arms Trading System. Currently, all he could offer was the Tianlei Series Anti-Aircraft Missile, but in the future, there would definitely be more land, sea, and air weapons.
"You can go ahead and contact them first. If there are any purchasing needs, contact me in time."
"Alright. I will contact you if I have news."
Mannila naturally would not give up on Li Yi's connection. If he could promote his weapons to more clients, the commission he would receive would not be small.
After Li Yi hung up on Mannila, he began to consider where to launch the Tianlei Type IV Anti-Aircraft Missile to shoot down the Israel fighter jet.
The border line between Syria and Israel was not very long. If Israel fighter jets wanted to enter Syria, they naturally needed to pass through the airspace over the border at the Golan Heights.
The Golan Heights was the best location to shoot down Israel's jets; it bordered Israel, was high up, and could overlook the valley controlled by Israel.
After screening several locations, Li Yi finally decided to set an ambush in a canyon not far from the foothills of Mount Hermon.
Other places were either too open or were areas where Israel had influence.
This place was a pasture with many trees and bushes, which could effectively hide the Tianlei Type IV Anti-Aircraft Missile launcher vehicle.
Furthermore, the local people here were relatively supportive of Syria, very dissatisfied with Israel, and unwilling to take on Israel nationality.
After the launch, Glass House could quickly send troops to retrieve the anti-aircraft missile launcher vehicle without interference from the local populace.
After selecting the launch site for the anti-aircraft missile, Li Yi checked the various equipment of the Tianlei Type IV Anti-Aircraft Missile to ensure everything was foolproof.
At the same time, he decided to teleport to the canyon at the foothills of Mount Hermon this afternoon to prepare for the launch of the Tianlei Type IV Anti-Aircraft Missile, striving to shoot down the Israel fighter jet promptly upon discovery, and immediately evacuate Syria to reduce the risk of being exposed.
