From arms dealer to king of war

In the car returning to New Jersey, Steven looked helplessly at Qiao Jia, who was sitting opposite him, and said, "Jackal, there's no need for this..."

Qiao Jia touched his forehead and said with a smile: "What are you referring to?

Is it unnecessary to help Big Mouth Don like this, or is it unnecessary to break that Jared's nose? "

Steven spread his hands and said, "We all know that Jared has a problem, but by breaking his nose in front of so many people, you are sending the message that 'we are not a staunch ally of Big Mouth Don'.

The election is a few days away and there is no need to do this until everything is certain.

Now that we have chosen a position, we should be determined to achieve our goals. "

Qiao Jia glanced at Eric, who was silent, and said with a smile: "I don't usually take revenge overnight.

If beating Jared affects our relationship with Big Mouth Don, it proves that we are not even partners.

To be honest, the reason why I support Big Mouth Tang is because no one else can even raise campaign funds except him.

Man, you can't forget your original intention. We got involved in the election just to fuck Lahiri, not because I really admire Big Mouth Don.

This guy is a businessman, one day he will compromise me for votes, tomorrow he will sell me out for the greater good.

He is unreliable!

Conveying my position to the outside world in advance is a sign of responsibility for the future.

Dude, being Secretary of State is just the beginning for you. I bet your career is not going to be smooth sailing.

Big Mouth Tang is a businessman who pursues efficiency. Such a person will either make great progress or stumble along the way in the political arena.

You must not be fired by him. Falling out with the presidential candidate and falling out with the president are two different things.

Hold on for a few more years and fight for a little more room for your energy group and, most importantly, for me.

My stall in Afika is too big and I will get into trouble sooner or later! "

Steven understood as soon as he heard that Qiao Jia was doing the cutting on purpose. He didn't want to get too close to Big Mouth Tang.

This situation is a bit incredible for a political investor, but Steven is surprisingly able to understand Qiao Jia's thoughts at this moment.

The scale of P·B is very large, but the size of the American branch cannot participate in the division of the president's income.

Unless Qiao Jia is willing to change the company's attributes and expand its business scope, Qiao Jia will not be able to reap much of the benefits of American policy.

Obviously, he has no interest in becoming a policy broker and earning a small amount of money.

Steven didn't know if it was his own misunderstanding. He always felt that everything Boss Qiao did was to buy time for the development of China-Africa Corporation, rather than to take root in the United States, the most powerful country in the world.

Qiao Jia didn't care what Steven thought. He smiled and said: "Brother, when you went to Sangha Town last time, you said that you would ask your wife to arrange a team of people to survey the oil and gas situation in Central Africa. The report came out. ?"

Steven was stunned for a moment, nodded and said: "Come out, two oil fields and two gas fields were discovered in central Africa, but the reserves are very average.

What's wrong?

Don't tell me you want to develop them!

I thought you should have given them to the French..."

After hearing this, Qiao Jia shook his head helplessly and said: "The French are too smart. They will never take over this kind of business that loses a lot of money."

As he spoke, Qiao Jia looked at Steven, who looked in agreement, and said with a smile: "But today is different from the past, Steven, are you interested in investing?

I provide the money, you provide the technology, we extract the oil and gas resources, and the profit is split half way. "

When Steven heard this, he said funnyly: "Jackal, I suggest you calm down.

Don’t be fooled by the oil and gas business in the Middle East. The cost of oil and gas extraction varies from place to place, and the oil and gas extracted in Central Africa cannot be transported out at all.

I know you may want to internalize those resources, but this is an issue that the government should consider. Individuals will lose a lot of money if they do it.

The highest average salary in Central Africa is now in Sangha Town, which was only US$800 that year. With such a salary structure and population, internal digestion must be a loss. "

After hearing this, Qiao Jia spread his hands and said, "But if you have confidence in Sangha Town and extend the investment to the 30-year level, then that's not necessarily the case."

Steven looked at Qiao Jia's determined look and said helplessly: "Jackal, it's not that I don't want to help you, I can follow up on any project you want to invest in.

But my wife is only a small shareholder of the Rockefeller Group. As you can imagine, a small shareholder cannot promote a ‘loss-making business’.

In fact, you can definitely find your Chinese friends, and I can invest a sum of money with you. As you said, if you extend the income period, this investment will still be profitable. "

As he spoke, Steven looked at Qiao Jia with a somewhat noncommittal expression. He thought for a while and said: "But if you really want to take the oil and gas in Central Africa, then I can help you figure out the mining plan and get it at the same time. Advanced mining equipment, free!

Technicians shouldn't be a problem for you, right? "

Qiao Jia's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he smiled and said, "Where can I find free equipment?"

As Qiao Jia looked at the smile on Steven's face, he suddenly said: "When the shale oil bubble in the United States is burst, right?"

Steven nodded and said: "At that time, a large number of companies will go bankrupt, and those oil and gas equipment will be auctioned at low prices.

There is a lot of room for maneuver here. As long as you make up your mind, leave these things to me.

When the equipment is obtained, it will be shipped to the Congo and you will find a way to transport it in via waterway. "

As he spoke, Steven looked at Qiao Jia who seemed very interested. He hesitated and said, "Jackal, I still want to advise you, this is a losing business.

Not to mention whether the Central African government has the ability to participate in infrastructure projects. Even if they do, it will cost you a lot of cash to support such a project alone.

There is no external output pipeline, the return on investment cycle is too long, and the rate of return is too low. "

After hearing this, Qiao Jia leaned back on his seat, put his head in his hands and stretched his neck, and said: "Let it be a loss...

The first time I went to Sangha Town was just to get a vote, but I ended up taking over a mess and developing the steel industry chain just to make money back.

But things are a little different now...

You know, there is a Zika virus outbreak in Sangha Town. I asked the devil bird to leave there many times, but she refused.

My old buddy says Sangha Town needs a prince born there!

There are many people there who are willing to go through fire and water for me, and I can't leave them behind...

I don’t know when it started, but it became my foundation, so I had to find a way to extend the vitality and vitality of Sangha Town as much as possible.

To do this, you need enough energy and electricity.

Now the small steel plants around Sangha Town have started operations, but the coke supply has been unable to increase because my 'designers' are consciously limiting the scale of such highly polluting plants.

I can actually ignore them. There is nothing wrong with using coke to generate electricity or make steel. It’s just that the air is a little worse and the water is more polluted. What’s wrong?

But if we extend our view to thirty years later, it will be different. I don’t want my children to grow up in this environment.

Natural gas is a very good energy source. If I extract this stuff, I can build a power plant network...

I don’t know if I can get my money back by selling electricity, but I have to leave enough room for upgrading those crappy little factories.

Maybe in five years, maybe in three years, when everyone has enough to eat, I will convince them to stop ruining the environment and spend more money to upgrade equipment. "

As he spoke, Qiao Jia subconsciously rubbed his fingers with plug-ins, and said with a smile: "I acquired a new water purification technology, and I am planning to take over the French's unfortunate sewage treatment project.

That is my home now, and I have to be responsible for my future generations! "

When Steven heard this, he frowned and said, "Are you planning to take root in Central Africa?

Oh my God, Jackal, do you have any idea how big an investment of this level is? "

Qiao Jia spread his hands and said: "The land there is within my reach, maybe billions, maybe tens of billions, I don't know.

I can take my time...

I already have the original earth pearl of Endele in my hand...

Why can't Sangha Town become a clean pearl of metallurgical industry? After all, Afika's demand for steel will not stop in decades.

There are too many people in Central Africa who have put their hope in me...

You know me, I never let down those who trust me! "

As Qiao Jia looked at Steven's dumbfounded look, he smiled and said, "Don't get me wrong, I don't regard myself as a savior. I just think that I should do something meaningful and leave enough for future generations for several lifetimes." A wasteful property...

Do you think it's possible for me to succeed? "

Steven was stunned for a moment. He lowered his head and thought for a few minutes, then looked at Qiao Jia and said seriously: "Jackal, if you can maintain your current state, I think you should be able to do it!"

Steven said seriously: "You have to talk to Haftar of Libya. Only 20% of Tobruk's share after 6 years is too little for you. Re-draw the contract and transfer the terminal to If you take it down completely, you are fully capable of making Tobruk bigger.

It is located at the heart of the Mediterranean. By guarding the entrance of the oil pipeline to the sea, you can get a steady stream of funds.

As long as I can become Secretary of State, I can help you put pressure on Haftar from the side so that he cannot abandon you. "

When Qiao Jia heard this, he smiled and shook his head...

Steven did not understand P·B's influence in Tobruk. At this stage, P·B has complete control there, and the city government staff there are all locals who have been screened by P·B.

According to the contract, P·B's shares were transferred gradually. It was enough to stabilize the National Army for 6 years, to allow Tobruk to get used to P·B's rule, and to allow the National Army to get used to this situation.

Only by providing enough benefits to the National Army will they have the motivation to try their best to maintain the stability of the external environment. Otherwise, P.B. will have to invest huge amounts of money there, which is actually not worth the gain.

The most important thing is that Boss Qiao cooperates with Hua Guo and makes all the money in two ways.
