I read an inspirational story two days ago: I am 20 years old this year . I have 4 suites in Wuhan and two cars. I didn’t spend a penny at home. They were all bought for me by my girlfriend on her 60th birthday .
This is a joke, but the mentality of young people's desire for money and getting rich overnight is the same.
How cool would it be if you could play all kinds of good guns and make a lot of money at the same time?
[Note: The car behind him is a Porsche sports car]
Today I would like to recommend the movie "Arms Dealers". It is about two young people who accidentally became international arms dealers, supplied weapons to the US Department of Defense, made a lot of money but eventually became prisoners.
The movie left a message for everyone: Be kind, don't owe workers wages in order to save 100,000 yuan, otherwise, you will not only lose 300 million dollars in business, but also go to jail.
David is a young diaosi, smoking marijuana, working as a masseuse, selling mattresses, he has done all these things, but his life is still very poor.
After his girlfriend became pregnant, he was even more stressed.
Just then, his high school buddy Ipraxin (the fat guy above with a submachine gun in a luxury car) came to him.
Haven't seen each other for a few years, Ipra has made a lot of money. The 16-year-old Ipraxin has been selling arms in Los Angeles with his uncle since he was a child. At the age of 18, he started his own business to sell arms.
Ipraxin invited David to work with him. Due to the pressure of life, David thought again and again and decided to smuggle arms without his girlfriend and Ipraxin partnering.
[Two good buddies set up a small company to start a business]
At the beginning, the brothers took advantage of the U.S. government's arms policy of "must give small companies some opportunities" to do some small businesses in bulletproof helmets and body armor.
They import inferior helmets, bulletproof vests, etc. from some backward countries, sell them at low prices, and earn the difference, and the government does not care much.
Soon, they made a lot of money. Not only did they buy a luxury car, but they also bought a big house. It was also very cool to take their wives and children to the beach to play.
Luck is yet to come: David and Ipras meet a new nobleman, Gillard .
This person is a legend in the international arms industry, but he just took a fancy to the two small roles of David and Ipraxin, and helped them win a big order. How big is this order? $300 million.
The $300 million weapons were purchased by the Ministry of Defense to supply the Afghan battlefield, specifically, to arm the post-war police in Afghanistan.
In order to pass the qualification review of the US Department of Defense, the brothers forged various company accounts and bills, and they passed the review.
[The price was too low and the brothers regretted it, but even so, they could still make a lot of money]
I thought that everything was going well, and that I would earn tens of millions of dollars steadily and then I would reach the peak of my life. Unexpectedly: when David shipped the goods to the US Department of Defense in Albania, he found out that he was pitted by Gillard.
It turned out that Gillard bought bullets from the Albanians for only 2.5 cents each, and sold them for 10 cents. It means that this person does nothing, and makes 4 times the profit by pretending to be coercive.
Ipraxin was so angry that he was going to do business directly with the Albanians, bypassing the middleman Gilad.
In the end, he did not bypass it, and his attempt almost led to David being killed by Gillard. You must know that this arms dealer is an "international ruthless man" on the blacklist of the US government.
Because of this incident, estrangement and suspicion began to arise between David and Ipraxin. At this time, the last straw that broke the camel's back appeared.
Ipraxin has been behind the wages of the Albanian Packers, a total of only 100,000 US dollars, he did not pay a cent.
Then, the head of the migrant labor contractor called to stab the matter out. In the end, the two brothers, David and Ipraxin, were exposed and both went to jail.
The reason for their exposure is that they forged company information to bid, did not abide by the contract, and provided inferior arms to the Ministry of Defense.
The biggest lesson left from this incident is that no one, at any time, can owe migrant workers wages !
David was sentenced to 7 months in prison. After 7 months, he returned to his old business to give massages. His kindness was rewarded. Because of his kindness, he finally got a lot of money.
The film is based on true events .
By the time they were arrested, David and his partner had successfully delivered $66 million worth of arms to the U.S. police in Afghanistan.

In fact, from the U.S. State Department to the Pentagon, officials know why the weapons they provide are so cheap, and they all know what they're doing, even helping them, even if their bullets are unpacked and they get this batch Soldiers of the bullets also know where the bullets come from, as some origins are even marked on the cartridge case.
They are just pawns for the government. Being sentenced to prison is not for selling arms that violate the law, but for the failure of the incident, the shame on the Bush administration's face, and the inability to step down from the stage, so the real event is 100 times more exciting than the movie...
【A domineering chess piece】
Although this movie is a light comedy, it is also very profound: events involving countless lives, such as wars and international situations, are actually no different from wholesale pirated DVDs. The Department of Defense is a multi-billion dollar business... that's a huge irony.
Guns, wealth, beauty, this hormone-filled film is suitable for brushing in winter, but for us ordinary people , it’s better to think about getting rich overnight !
