Self-proclaimed Donkey instead of a name, this indicates that he does not intend to reveal his name for the time being, which is an attitude issue and also a very obvious signal.
Since he took the initiative to come, there is no point in keeping secrets. The main purpose of using a nickname is to reveal that he is involved in the underground world.
So the meaning of the nickname is not just to hide the real name, but also to have a similar effect as slang and jargon. By giving a nickname, Gao Guang should know that the person in front of him is definitely not involved in something legitimate.
Regarding the nickname itself, a donkey is still considered normal, but the word "donkey" is not a good term in the English system.
Then, for some reason, Gao Guang suddenly developed a good impression of the short and fat man in front of him after hearing the nickname "Donkey".
After shaking hands heavily a few times, Gao Guang let go and made a gesture of invitation, saying, "Please come to my office to talk."
Donkey nodded, but he looked at Mike and suddenly said to him, "Are you Mike? I heard that you once blocked machine gun bullets for him?"
Donkey walked up to Mike with enthusiasm, extended his hand, and smiled, "After hearing about your deeds, I immediately decided that I must cooperate with you."
Overjoyed, Mike was extremely surprised and said, "You've heard of me? Ah, haha, okay, okay, you have a good eye."
Mike couldn't help but glance at Francesco, then proudly said to Donkey, "Protecting the boss by blocking bullets, isn't that the job of a bodyguard?"
Donkey said seriously, "No, there are very few bodyguards who are willing to block bullets for the boss. Have you seen any? At least I haven't seen any before."
After praising Mike for a few words and making him extremely happy, Donkey followed Gao Guang to the office and still said seriously, "You are really lucky to have such a bodyguard."
Gao Guang led Donkey into the office, asked him to sit down, and went straight to the point, saying, "May I ask why you found me? What do you want me to do?"
Donkey sighed and said seriously, "To be direct, I am in the arms trade. Recently, a batch of my goods was stolen and the delivery person died, causing me a great loss."
It turned out to be an arms dealer!
Gao Guang felt honored and surprised because an arms dealer took the initiative to come to him. What does this mean? It means that his reputation in the defense industry has spread.
No wonder the price was so high, but unfortunately, Gao Guang didn't do the job of delivering arms for others.
Seeing that Gao Guang didn't show any expression, Donkey continued, "Now I want to personally deliver this batch of arms, so I came to find you. I want to hire you to protect me. You only need to be responsible for my safety, and you don't need to worry about anything else. I will pay you two million US dollars, but this is just the base price. If something really happens, I will add money. If you save me once, I will add one million, and if you save me twice, I will add two million, at least this much. How about it?"

It's not about delivering arms, but protecting a person. But saying this, it seems that Donkey's business is not that big, otherwise why would he need to personally deliver the goods?
And the commission starts at two million, which is indeed very tempting.
Gao Guang was really puzzled now, so he immediately asked, "As an arms dealer, don't you have your own team? Why do you need to find us?"
"Of course I have my own people, but they are good at fighting, not professional in protecting people. I need someone specialized in protecting my safety. And I heard about what you and Mike did for Mr. Salvini, I think you are the best candidates."
No wonder Danny said he recommended candidates, but the employer didn't accept them. It turned out that Renato heard about Gao Guang and the others from Leno and had a preconceived notion.
As for protecting a person, it seems possible. Gao Guang couldn't make up his mind for a while. After thinking for a moment, he said with a puzzled expression, "Can I ask what weapons to deliver, where to deliver them, and how long the mission will last?"
"Of course I will tell you. I want to go to the Middle East and deliver the weapons to the Kurds. These goods are not that sensitive. They are mainly unmanned attack drones and some unmanned reconnaissance drones. After I arrange everything here, the goods will be airlifted to Iraq, and then we will deliver them to the border of Syria. The journey will take at most two days. How about it?"
The time doesn't sound long, and the goods are indeed not very sensitive, but as soon as Gao Guang heard the place Donkey mentioned, he knew he couldn't take this job.
Two million is not much, not at all.
When things go against the norm, there must be something unusual. The difficulty of earning this money does not lie in the distance of the journey or the goods being delivered, but in what troubles this Donkey will encounter."Um, you said there was an accident during the delivery, the goods were robbed, and the delivery person died. Can you tell me who did it?"
The donkey shrugged and said, "Last time, I took the sea route and my ship landed directly on the coast of Syria. But after landing, it was discovered by the Turkey, and they took my goods and killed twelve of my men. I suffered heavy losses, buddy. That's why I changed to a combination of air and land transportation, which increased my transportation costs but also made it much safer. Understand?"
"Understood."
If someone is not interested in current affairs and military matters, they may not understand the risks of this trip. But coincidentally, Gao Guang is the kind of person who pays attention to and understands the world situation. After all, he is a military enthusiast.
This matter sounds simple and it seems like easy money, but the truth is far from simple.
After the start of the Syrian Civil War, the Kurds also rose with the support of the United States and controlled a large area along the Syrian-Turkish border. The Kurds are a major threat to Turkey, so the provoked Turkey sent troops to occupy part of Syria's territory, and then Turkey began to strike the Kurdish armed forces.
Sending weapons to the Kurds is absolutely unacceptable for Turkey and the Syrian government, and the United States is also unwilling to excessively provoke Turkey, so they cannot support it. Therefore, this matter carries great risks, and it is possible to be directly bombed by Turkey or Syria's air force.
Gao Guang knows his own capabilities. As a private military contractor, he can handle guns and engage in firefights, and he can even take a bullet for the donkey. But he can't defend against artillery shells, bombs, and missiles. Even if he tries to block a rocket, it would be suicide.
Gao Guang has already made up his mind. He can't do this, and he absolutely cannot take on this job.
Just as Gao Guang was about to refuse, the donkey smiled and said, "Or we can cooperate. You deliver the goods for me, and I'll give you a commission. How about 20% of the profit?"
Should he ask how much the profit is? Gao Guang hesitated for a moment, but his curiosity overcame his desire not to pry.
"How much profit can there be?"
The donkey didn't hide anything and said directly, "One hundred and twenty aerial attack drones, forty unmanned reconnaissance aircraft, costing six million US dollars, total selling price forty million US dollars. They are all small drones, no control vehicles, no radar control consoles. They can be transported with just a few trucks. If you deliver the goods, I'll give you 20% of the profit, which is 7.2 million US dollars. Think about it."
He could retire after doing it once, but the risk is really high. Protecting people is one thing, but delivering weapons, does he really not care about the political factors and risks behind this business?
Meeting for the first time, the donkey dares to be so straightforward and willing to offer a high price. This shows that he definitely did not get permission from the United States, and he couldn't find a big company like Warfire Group to deliver the goods for him.
The donkey offers a 20% share to Gao Guang only because he believes that Gao Guang is backed by Warfire Group, and Warfire Group is unwilling to openly accept this kind of commission, so they throw it to Gao Guang as a peripheral cover. If Gao Guang accepts, it means that Warfire Group is willing to secretly take on this task.
These things must be thought through and the twists and turns must be understood. He must not lose his rationality just because of the amount of money. Otherwise, his fate will definitely be miserable.
"Sorry, 20% is too little."
Gao Guang didn't want to say that he dared not take on the job, so he could only ask for a high price to make the donkey feel it's not worth it and give up.
The donkey said without hesitation, "You name your price."
Gao Guang was about to speak, but suddenly Mike rushed in like a flying bird, and Francisco stood at the door, whispering urgently, "There are cops! Boss, run! I'll hold them off!"
Gao Guang stood up in astonishment. He didn't know why he had to run. He hadn't done anything illegal, so he said to Francisco, "Don't panic, don't be impulsive. What happened?"
But Mike anxiously said, "There are a lot of police officers! Boss, what's going on?"
At this moment, the donkey stood up, frowned, and said to Gao Guang, "Don't mention our conversation to anyone, okay?"
Gao Guang immediately said, "No problem, don't worry, I won't say anything."
"Let's talk after I solve the problem. It won't take long. We'll talk when I come out."
Before the donkey finished speaking, a group of people rushed in, and an undercover officer walked straight to the donkey and said coldly, "FBI! Abu Salidar, you're under arrest. You have the right to remain silent..."
Before the FBI agent finished speaking, the donkey calmly said, "I won't say anything until my lawyer arrives."
Classic dialogue, standard procedure. The donkey is obviously accustomed to everything happening now. He didn't even look at Gao Guang and obediently stretched out his hand to be handcuffed.The donkey was taken away, and the FBI agent looked at Gao Guang and suddenly said, "I suspect that you are involved in the illegal smuggling and trafficking of arms by Abu Salidar. You better cooperate. If it has nothing to do with you, you can go home soon. But if you don't cooperate..."
"I won't say anything until my lawyer arrives. I request to make a phone call to my lawyer."
Gao Guang didn't expect that he would say this sentence too, but he did, and he said it smoothly. The only problem was that he seemed to not have a lawyer, and he didn't know if he could find one in time.
