If a person held it and pointed at you, what would you think? For David, what he saw was the style, origin and price of the gun. That's right, he saw money. "In the face of the war, I saw a helmet, a pair of fire gloves, a body armor and an M16 assault rifle, and I saw $17,500," he said. War is economy! This is the opening clip of the American comedy film Arms Dealer. The film is based on true events. Relying on government website consultation and policies, two young people in the United States have successfully started an arms business with the government of hundreds of millions of dollars through various means.
As long as there is a war and a battlefield, there is an arms business flow behind it, and these arms dealers are all over the world, and where there are bullets, there is an economy. Around this point, the film shows the story of two young people who use arms to reach the top.
David is a masseuse, has a dream of making a fortune, and specializes in giving private massages to local tycoons in the rich area, and it is inevitable that he will be harassed. Every time I finish work, I fantasize that the luxury car on the side of the road is my own. So he thought of a way: resell the sheets, he bought the high-quality sheets to sell in the nursing home, thinking that this silky sheet would cause the manager to buy, but the truth is, who cares whether the old people sleep well or not? No one wants to invest money in the elderly. David failed and continued to massage people.
Here comes the turnaround. At a funeral, he meets his old classmate Fat, who is not liked by everyone because he once caused David to go to jail. The fat man takes David for a ride, revealing that he has made money in business, which makes David envious. The fat man told him that he was selling guns.
David's girlfriend was pregnant, further increasing his financial stress. A fierce heart, decided to follow the fat man to the arms business and joined AEY. The two hit it off. In the first step, David began to browse the government's documents similar to tenders, because according to the order of the president at the time, in order to balance the arms business, in addition to large orders being made by large companies, small orders could be distributed to small institutions. As the fat man said: If the arms interest is a big cake, we are the ones who want to grab the cake residue, that is, those scum, can also make the pocket bulge!
Fat guys are smart and their brains are too flexible. This time, the business was in contact with the officers who were fighting in Iraq, but the supplies were detained in the middle, and the officers were furious, which was a million orders! In order not to let the fat meat that reached his mouth fly away, the fat man decided to personally deliver the goods, which was also a key business for AEY's great development later. Through the Triangle of Death, the arms were successfully sent to the war zone, and the courage of the fat man to deliver the goods personally was appreciated by the officers, who gave cash directly. At this moment, the fat man and the two saw the tens of billions of dollars that the US military had hoarded from Saddam Hussein.
Carrying the millions of cash earned, the fat man and David were fiercely dashing, and the luxury house and car were beautiful like clouds. The business is getting bigger and bigger, and this time, the US government website has a large order of several hundred million. AEY did not have such strength, and when they were worried, the two met the arms legend Henry, who provided an excellent purchase channel, and the deal was closed. The Davids began to falsify the data, and in the interview with the government, they were favored by the US government and signed a contract because the offer was less than the gap of more than 50 million yuan for the second place.
This single business has a problem, the goods are not on the right board, the fat man is looking for someone to change the packaging, and it took a mere 100,000 yuan to solve the big trouble. But the problem came, the fat man and David broke up because of the sharing problem, followed by the discovery of the wrong board and reported, and the two were finally arrested by the FBI. The contradiction between the two and the hasty ending presented in the second half give people a feeling of being tiger-headed and top-heavy. If you dig deeper into the events and add some classic orders, the movie will be even more exciting!
The whole movie looks smooth, there is no lack of laughter, the fat man about making money is more frequent, it is really how bold people are, how productive they are. Behind the war is the economy, a bullet, can make people die, but also can make people rich, so people are slaves to war, and ultimately are also slaves to money.
