Chapter 334 - 189 The Stinking Poor Ghost Has Come to Los Angeles to Beg_3
Allen Zhang: That’s the advantage of having qualifications and credibility!!
Sieg: If we didn’t have these qualifications to collaborate with the local military district, we would’ve started with picking up small gigs worth just hundreds of dollars, not even enough to cover the gas. Although there’s no risk in transporting, it’s not profitable either, and we’d need to build up our reputation and influence slowly.
Sieg: From what I’ve learned, for an ordinary gun shop to upgrade to a high credibility merchant and sign contracts with PMC and major institutions, unlocking transport missions, it takes at least two years. There’s a basic requirement of an annual profit of no less than 120,000 US dollars. If it’s a one-star ranking in Armed Nation, it requires at least five years of operations for old shops, the owner must have a military contract, served as a noncommissioned officer in the army, or worked in a local police department or court, been a bounty hunter for 3-5 years, security personnel for over three years, and have taken at least one mission or trade order dispatched by the military district.
Allen Zhang: Is it that complicated?
Sieg: Without a doubt, we’ve picked up a bargain. On the surface, Thunderbolt Fire Gun Shop doesn’t seem to have any remarkable aspects, but it has old qualifications, operated for over ten years, with stable relationships and trade with the military district, enough for a two-star qualification weight. This indicates that the previous owner was an influential figure in the circle, certainly acquainted with many high-profile individuals in upscale circles. It’s hard to understand why they were in such a hurry to step down.
Allen Zhang: If they made enough money, of course they’d think about retreating from the scene. They were involved in financial fraud, dining on the misery of others. Who knows when the Wells Fargo Bank in Palm Valley will blow up? If it were me, I would definitely grab the money and make a clean getaway. With all that money, wouldn’t it be better to live luxuriously abroad? Everywhere is good for splurging.
Sieg: You’re right.
After chatting with Sieg for a bit more, when they were about to reach the urban area on the road, a checkpoint suddenly appeared ahead. Several police cars blocked the road, lining up the vehicles that had arrived there for inspection.
