However, even if they relied on each other, Hurricane Group took a large share of the profits on many battlefields, which inevitably violated the interests of other countries.
One must know that Hurricane Group had intercepted the arms deals of superpowers like Merica more than once. Every deal was worth billions of dollars. Accumulated, it was enough to buy an entire country.
Therefore, Hurricane Group was blacklisted by many countries.
In the past, many countries joined forces to restrict Hurricane Group and signed the "Missile Non-Proliferation Treaty."
The treaty stipulated that many weapons could not be sold.
Moreover, they agreed to ban Hurricane Group and refuse to trade with Hurricane Group.
Munitions was a lucrative business, and it was not rare to get more than 5 times the profits. But the market was also very limited. Many developed countries had their own military factories, and their military teams had limited purchases. But in poor countries, those who did not have money could not afford to buy and could not afford to do so.
Most of the war-torn countries were poor. Therefore, the main market was concentrated in developing countries.
For example, Lockheed Martin Group, which was ranked second only to Hurricane Group, was backed by Merica's government. Its best-selling products were the F-22 and Boeing 747. Its products were mainly sold in China, but Merica's military was a global force.
The real boss behind such a group was Merica's government.
In such a lucrative industry, most countries would not allow private groups to take a share of the profits.
Moreover, if private groups controlled the manufacturing of weapons, wouldn't it be the biggest threat to the government?!
In the beginning, Hurricane Group's first bucket of gold was made in Africa. Gong Shaoying took a batch of orders from Africa. However, Africa was poor and could not afford the high cost of weapons. However, Africa's mineral and oil reserves were extremely rich.
As a condition, the president exchanged ten years of oil exploration rights for a long-term deal with Hurricane Group.
The profits from oil were definitely considerable!
In addition, Gong's family was originally a shipping empire. Therefore, with this order, Gong's family earned ten times the total value of the order.
Next, he placed his backbone in the Middle East and opened up the market step by step. He vigorously developed more advanced weapons until he became an unshakable overlord and finally gained a foothold in this highly competitive market.
Furthermore, Gong Shaoying was a shrewd businessman. He knew that the market was limited, so he used quantity to win.
Lockheed Martin sold the same grenade for $5 and he sold it for $3.
Even though it was only 2 USD, buying them in bulk was not a small expense.
Small profits but quick turnover attracted countless countries to fill their inventories.
In order to compete with the Hurricane Group, Lockheed Martin also lowered the price. In the end, they found that the same price of 3 US dollars, the Hurricane Group still sold better.
Many of the weapons produced by Lockheed Martin were not only complex but also limited in power.
However, the weapons produced by the Hurricane Group were easy to use and had advantages in terms of control. Whether it was in terms of range, fire control, or man-machine efficiency, they had a huge advantage.
In terms of power, the weapons produced by Lockheed Martin were relatively backward. Therefore, even if the price was the same, they did not have much of an advantage in most countries.
