"I'd like to ask, do you still need a supplier?"
Louise Linden's words were completely out of Li Mochen's expectations. "If possible, the Linden family hopes to join your ship group. We can offer four armed merchant ships."
"The Linden family?"
Li Mochen was confused. "This is an armed smuggling business. Are you sure, Louise?"
If it was just transporting ordinary daily necessities, the America Federation did not prohibit it. But their business included contraband prohibited by America and the United Nations.
Due to the war and bloody massacre that broke out on the Anatolian continent more than 30 years ago, the United Nations prohibited the transport of any weapons of mass destruction to the Anatolian continent.
In addition, many of the things they transported from the Anatolian continent would be heavily taxed if they entered through normal channels.
Of course, the America government turned a blind eye to most of the traveling to the Anatolian continent out of national interest. They would even encourage it during certain special periods. For example, the government's coast guard did not care about the arms trade. But it was a dishonorable matter. Li Mochen found it hard to imagine that a prestigious family like the Linden family would want to be involved in it.
"Of course!"
Louise Linden gestured for Li Mochen to walk with her. "Ammo, you find it hard to believe, don't you? But our family has indeed encountered serious financial difficulties in recent years. Although the economic crisis three years ago was not as serious as the one in the sixties, the income of the various industries under our financial group was not satisfactory. "
"It's that serious? You control the second largest savings rate in Atlanta. "
Li Mochen saw that Louise's expression was solemn and did not continue to ask. "But with the strength of the Linden family, it would not be a problem for you to set up your own ship group."
"How could it be so easy?"
Louise Linden told the truth. "If we really wanted to set up a ship group, we would need at least five billion gold duns. We would also need to clear up all kinds of connections and set up a security team. It would be very troublesome, and we would have to bear great risks. The tickets to the Anatolian continent are not so easy to get. Unless we set up our own hunting party, but that would be even more troublesome. It's better to find a more mature ship group to join. It'll save more money and manpower. "
She turned sideways and looked at Li Mochen. "Of course, we know the rules. Thirty percent of all profits, right?"
Li Mochen nodded slightly. 10% of it was his commission, and the remaining 20% was the public fund for the various expenses of the ship group.
"In addition, we can also provide all kinds of goods that you need, Ammo. We, the Linden Trading Company, can provide everything you want."
Li Mochen's eyes glowed. He was not worried about the Military Fire. Nathan Sports Group was backed by the Naessen Military Industrial Complex, which was a large arms group. He could get the goods directly through Mr. Paton's connections, and the price would be lower than the market price.
"The Linden family can join, but my requirement is that it must be an armed merchant ship of more than 10,000 tons, and the ship's defense and firepower must be at an average level. Then, there must be no less than 16 extra-legal combat teams, no less than 48 extra-legal people, and at least two high-level extra-legal people of Level 17. Is that okay? As for the supply from the Linden Trading Company, I'll have to think about it for a while. "
Li Mochen welcomed the Linden family to join. After all, he knew them inside out, and he had a good relationship with Louise Linden.
The fleet under the latter's command was also trustworthy. Once he joined the ship group, his power and speaking rights within the Wings of the Alliance would be greatly increased.
Therefore, when Li Mochen stepped into his car, he asked Alisa, "Alisa, can you ask your people in the next few days if they are interested in joining our ship group?"
"Your smuggling group business, right?"
Alisa looked hesitant. "Of course there are people who are interested. After all, it's very profitable. But first, we're limited by funds, and second, we're worried about losses."
Li Mochen knew the situation of the Targaryen family. Other than the main branch with three billion gold duns, the family's wealth was very scattered and thin. The reason they could still be ranked among the famous families in America was because of the thousands of people in the family.
The children of the Targaryen family basically all had strong hunter talent. As long as they worked hard in their youth, they could become extra-legal people of Level 11 or above.
Due to the characteristics of their profession, Mana Hunters were favored in this era. Whether it was in the army, the police, the marine police, or the CIA, they were all extremely scarce manpower.
This caused a large number of members of the family to enter the government. Until now, there were nearly 3,000 people working in the government, customs, police, FBI, military, and CIA. There were also no less than 600 extra-legal people working in the middle or even the top positions in various agencies. Among them, there were three active lieutenant generals. There were also countless police superintendents, chief superintendents, and secret agent managers in other major cities. This allowed the Targaryens to have a huge network of connections all over America. None of the forces in America dared to look down on them.
"If you don't have enough money, you can think of a way to gather it. I can give your family three ships."
Li Mochen gave a heavy bargaining chip at the end. "You can tell your people that this is the first time they go out to sea. If they make money, it's yours. If they lose money, I'll pay for it."
Eliza's eyes lit up. "The number of slots for these three ships is really too little."
She was a smart person and understood Li Mochen's intentions. "Don't worry. I'll give priority to the people from the Coast Guard and the Atlanta Police Department. You need a safe smuggling route, right? BOSS？？ But I have a condition. You have to lend me ten million gold duns. "
She had to think of a way to earn money as soon as possible. Otherwise, who knew when she would be able to repay all the gold duns she owed Li Mochen?
"Sure!"
Li Mochen agreed readily. He looked at Alisa with a faint smile. "You can look for Huangfu Enda today and get a cheque for ten million gold duns."
Alisa was overjoyed. "Then I'll help you gather the goods, okay?"
Li Mochen shook his head and ignored her. The armored vehicle they were in had already traveled a few hundred meters and reached the opposite side of the street.
Li Mochen did not alight from the vehicle. However, when the door opened, Li Mochen felt a strong gust of wind. A shadowy figure suddenly stopped in front of the door. It was Hazel.
Alisa's eyes were filled with surprise. "You've even removed the Seal Armor from your feet? Hazel, you're improving so quickly! "
That was indeed a shocking improvement. Ten days ago, Hazel had to rely on the full set of Seal Armor to restrain her strength. But now, after just a little more than a month of training, she could already control her body.
Just by looking at her sudden stop after running at a high speed, one could tell that her control over her speed had already surpassed that of an ordinary person.
"Is it fast? But I don't think it's enough! "
Hazel shook her head. Then, she blinked her big eyes and looked at Li Mochen. "We're going to the Cardinal Club, right? You promised me. "
Li Mochen could not help but laugh. "Hurry up and get in the car."
A place like the Cardinal Club was actually not suitable for a child like Hazel. However, after Hazel begged him repeatedly, he still agreed.
This was because he knew very well how much pain and suffering this little girl had gone through during this period of time.
Out of the fourteen hours that Hazel was awake every day, nearly twelve of them were spent on practicing the First Elemental Sprint Steps. Every day, she would run and run under extreme pain. The success rate of transferring the Icy Heart Hegemon Sea Technique had been forcibly increased from the previous thirty percent to the current ninety percent. In just a short half a month, she was able to raise this technique to the fifth realm.
Therefore, as long as there was time, Li Mochen would do everything possible to let Hazel relax and train. Unfortunately, there were not many things that this little girl was interested in at the moment.
Only Li Mochen's explanations of techniques and combat techniques could let the little girl relax. Then, there was the rumored Cardinal Club, which the little girl had always been very curious about.
Li Mochen thought to himself, "What does this matter?" Although Hazel was only eleven years old, she had already seen part of the darkness of this world. The Cardinal Club would not be more ugly and filthy than the blood sacrifice scene of the Dragon Witch Cult.
