"Arms Dealer"丨2016
War Dogs
Director: Todd Phillips
Starring: Jonah Hill/ Miles Teller/ Bradley Cooper/ Anna de Armas/ Jeff Pierre/Barry Riverston
David is a downright loser with a bleak future and nothing to do. Now he makes some money to feed his family by giving people a massage.
Feeling the economic pressure, he desperately invested in a "good project"-high-end bed sheet sales.
However, he stocked up half of the house and couldn't sell it. Seeing that his blood was gone, his wife was pregnant again, and the pressure of life really made him want to die.
However, David seems to be lucky lately. At a friend’s funeral, he met his childhood buddies-Fatty.
Little Fatty has no worries about food and clothing, and he is a sports car when he goes out. Although there are various negative news about Fatty in the town, David still chooses to believe in Fatty and make friends with Fatty. Although
didn’t say anything, David was also full of curiosity about Fatty’s getting rich. Little Fatty directly confided the secret without hiding it. It turned out that Fatty founded a company at the age of 18 and brought him the source. "Entrepreneurship projects" with a steady stream of money are arms reselling.
is weird to say, the fat boy reselling arms business is legal. Moreover, he sold arms to the U.S. military. After
relived the past, the fat boy revealed the truth:
was because the US military only bought weapons from one major arms dealer, which eventually caused dissatisfaction with other arms dealers. In order to balance its interests, the US government decided to take the "market economy route."
The military will put the list of required arms on the official website, and you can take orders if you are interested. Although Fatty is not a big arms dealer, he is also familiar with the rules of the circle after he has been selling arms with his family at the age of 16. After discovering the loopholes in the US government, he immediately seized the opportunity and started directly with the military. Sale.
In the contact with Fat Boy, David was gradually impressed by Fat Boy's bold, clever and chic character. Plus, the fat boy also needs someone he trusts to help him. One is short of money, one is short of people, and the two young people hit it off right away-since then, the legendary road of arms opening has been opened. The business goes smoother and gets bigger and bigger.
What is interesting is that these two guys are really "business materials". Good reputation, good mind. Once, because Italy banned the delivery of weapons to Iraq, the two young men shipped the weapons to Jordan. Then, driving a truck full of munitions across the Iraqi death zone, it is definitely sending munitions thousands of miles, the hardest takeaway boy in history! They made $3 million in this single business of
, and more importantly, the two made a name for themselves in the industry! The
company expanded, and the two moved into the mansion as neighbors. David's wife successfully gave him a baby princess. It can be said that David has lived a happy life that he never dared to expect.
Greed is like a bottomless pit. As their horizons get bigger and bigger, the business they take is more and more exaggerated. Until you receive a super order! Just one hundred million bullets for the AK47 submachine gun!
Actually, this kind of business can no longer be swallowed by Fat Boy and David. The two came to Las Vegas-the arms dealer "man show", to try their luck.
didn't realize it, really lucky! They met the industry leader, the legendary Henry!
Henry owns all the weapons in the order, and Fatty’s company can get the exclusive agency. Great things hit the two young people. They are going to the billionaires soon!
Of course, if things go so well, the story would be too plain. It was this exaggerated order that changed the fate of the two young people. The
change appeared in these 100 million bullets. It turns out that the US government does not allow the sale of weapons made by us.
But these 100 million bullets were produced in our country. In other words, it is legal to provide arms to the US military, but if the arms are produced in our country, it will be illegal instantly, and the United States will refuse to accept them.
All of a sudden, the bullets in the hands of the two young men became waste. The two young people still adhere to the style of "I am the smartest and who I am afraid of", turning despair into an opportunity.
They found that it is impossible to find out the place of origin just by looking at the bullet. The only thing that can prove the source of the bullet is the packaging-then you can change the packaging! What's interesting is that changing the wooden box to a bag greatly saves transportation costs. It is equivalent to that because of this disaster, the two young men made millions more in this business.
The fat boy, who has a flamboyant character and doesn't suffer, can't swallow this breath. First, Henry knew that there was a problem with the production area and sold them to them, and he was eager to sell. The second is that Henry's selling price was too high, and he made a fortune for both of them.
So Fatty decided to have a fight with Henry. But David thinks that more is worse than less, and after in-depth contact with Fatty, he gradually realizes that Fatty is greedy, ruthless, selfish, and cruel.
After returning to China, David decided to have a showdown with Fat Boy and quit the business. Fatty repented of the fraud and refused to give David the promised salary, so the conflict between the two intensified.
Just when the two were about to die, they received a call from the FBI, and the matter of the bullet origin was investigated. The FBI arrested them. One was sentenced to four years in prison and the other was sentenced to 7 months. Charges: defrauding the federal government.
So, how did things come out? It turned out that the fat boy was too greedy and refused to pay 100,000 wages to the workers who changed the packaging, which caused the family to report directly. The
story saw this, I believe everyone thought it was amazing. In the movie, Fat Boy committed more than 70 crimes, but he was sentenced to only four years. Next, Pico tells you the more magical ending of the story-telling prototype:
In November 2015, Fatty’s story prototype, Ipra, was released from prison. Then, he also embraced the "net celebrity economy." Write memoirs about my 20s and 20s...posted selfies, sold books, and became a small influencer.
can secretly, has he returned to his old business? We don't know, but he said:
Once a gun runner, always a gun runner. (One day for the gunman, the whole life for the gun runner).
