From arms dealer to king of war

Boss Qiao’s ‘consulting fee’ was just a joke, but none of the people working on it took it as a joke.

Qatar's dilemma lies there. They have more or less conflicts with the Shah, Kuwait, Bahrain, the United Arab Emirates, and even Egypt.

Qatar is not willing to throw itself into the arms of Iran in exchange for protection!

A country with a weak military has a huge amount of wealth, and it also boasts that it intervenes everywhere in time to lead the poor people who are living a hard life.

With this attitude, it is natural for them to be isolated in the Middle East.

In fact, the core contradiction between the several parties is the competition for influence!

The princes of Qatar, with the Qatar Sovereign Fund, have been traveling around the world in the past ten years, swaying dollars and pounds everywhere...

Acquiring teams, acquiring landmark buildings in major cities around the world, and even investing in power and energy facilities in some European countries.

It may seem like they are making a bold move, but their purpose is actually very clear.

They do all this because they actually know the nature of ‘money’ better than most people.

Those green papers are essentially worthless. Only by converting money into assets and developing influence through purchasing power can your country exist for a long time.

It is a pity that Qatar's generous move touched the sensitive nerves of the Shah. The contradiction is not irreconcilable. It is just that at this stage, the two sides are deeply contradictory in terms of political lines and interests.

Now Qatar is still trying to support it, but the reality is that Europe and the United States are more willing to see the GCC split.

Boss Qiao has not been around the United States for long, but he has talked with a bunch of top executives and is even a strategic ally with the current Secretary of State.

Steven is a representative of Standard Energy Group, and their views on the Middle East are very representative.

A united Middle East is not a good thing for everyone. This is determined by their economic structure and population size.

The money of these local tyrants comes from the land, and their development is not restricted. They are extremely destructive to the world's energy system and financial system.

The plan proposed by Qiao Jia may seem absurd, but it meets the needs of Europe and the United States.

If this group of local tycoons can maintain a basic tacit understanding, they can mobilize America's energy capital from a higher perspective.

Qiao Jia made it clear to several princes what he could understand, and then the princes of Shah, Qatar, and Abu Dhabi left the stage collectively, leaving only Said to hold off Boss Qiao.

What Boss Qiao said was not very deep, but they still needed to call back for off-site assistance.

Politics is not a simple business. They need more professional people to judge whether this approach is possible and what kind of losses it may cause.

Said watched the three princes leave. He breathed a complete sigh of relief. Then he sat down next to Boss Qiao with a relaxed expression. After raising the 'juice' to signal, he said with a smile: "Jackal, you are a miracle." people!"

Said seemed to have thought of something, and he grinned and said: "You should talk to them about Yemeni affairs. I think with your current status, you have a chance to take over the business in Yemen.

The Gulf coalition has spent nearly hundreds of billions of dollars in Yemen, but the situation there has not improved at all.

The Houthi armed forces are becoming more and more powerful, and Al Qaeda has taken the opportunity to rise, which has had a huge impact.

I can't think of anyone else who could put an end to this terrible situation there!

If you are willing, I think they are willing to offer you a sky-high contract to create history. "

Qiao Jia was stunned for a moment, shook his head and said with a smile: "Do you think I really use my brains to benefit them?"

Said was stunned for a moment and said, "Then why do you want to help them?"

As Said looked at the expression on Qiao Jia's face, he said in disbelief: "Shit, don't tell me that you are just because Al Thani is a friend..."

Qiao Jia nodded and shook his head and said: "Al Thani is not only a friend, he is also Princess Emina's biological brother.

In the mid-term development stage of P·B, the funds provided by you and Al Thani were of great help to me.

We are friends, not just business partners!

And I have no interest in Yemen because the Houthis are not recognized terrorists.

In the past, I was just the boss of a military contracting company, and I only had to be responsible for the company. Of course, I would do whatever business was profitable.

But things are different now. I need to be responsible for many people, so I need to consider my own position more.

Signing a military contract related to Yemen means that I have a clear position.

The GCC is at best an oil alliance. You can't even handle your own internal affairs. I made money by stepping in, but I also made many enemies for myself.

By then the Houthis will hate me, Iran will hate me, and maybe even Iraq and Syria will be shaken...

What the hell am I planning? Picture your green paper? "

Said's thinking and vision are not as high as Boss Qiao's.

It’s not that he’s not smart enough, it’s that he’s in a different position and has different things to consider.

After thinking for a long time, Said reluctantly understood Qiao Jia's concerns. He shook his head and said: "But if you don't want anything, they can't believe that you will do your best in their affairs.

It would be a big political risk for the Shah to lead the team to sever diplomatic relations with Qatar. Their relationship itself is very bad. Without a reliable middleman to coordinate, neither of them will feel at ease...

Especially Qatar!

Al Thani's family's military strength is not even comparable to ours in Dubai!

Once they are politically isolated, if the United States and Britain suddenly ignore them, the Shah may instigate a coup to swallow them up.

The risk is too great! "

After hearing this, Qiao Jia spread his hands and said: "What does this matter have to do with me? It's for Al Thani's sake that I gave them advice.

I'm so damn busy now, am I still going to work in the Middle East?

If they feel uneasy, just think that I am farting, and maintaining the status quo is actually not bad. "

Said picked up the lighter and pointed at the extinguished cigar in Qiaojia's hand. After helping him light it, he said with a smile: "It is impossible to maintain the status quo...

Now it depends on whether they are paying attention to the big business of the oil group, or whether they are more concerned about their own situation.

You have proposed a very feasible solution. If they don't get a satisfactory answer, they won't let you go easily!

Jackal, don’t forget your identity. Whether you admit it or not, the world’s largest energy buyer stands behind you.

Sometimes purchasing power is power and a bargaining chip to balance the situation. "

After hearing this, Qiao Jia touched his face. It had been a long time since anyone had reminded him about his nationality.

And he is no longer the young guy who worried about being misunderstood just because he was selling a few guns.

He ignored that the existence of the ‘Old Mother’ would give them an important bargaining chip in the world’s energy system.

Once the GCC splits and there is an additional competitor, the balance of the energy market will tilt towards a buyer's market.

Qiao Jia himself didn't realize it at first, but now he realizes that he seems, probably, maybe really important!

Sending Big Mouth Don to power and giving him a say in the U.S. Congress.

A series of operations were used to hold back the father who dominated Afika, forcing them to define PB as a collaborator in Afika's affairs.

Recently, England was pressed to the ground and rubbed in exchange for a commitment from an investment bank.

There is also an "old mother" who lives in Asia and wants to stuff money into his stomach.

The ‘old mother’’s hunger for energy and huge foreign exchange reserves are naturally the stabilizers of the international energy market.

From this perspective, Boss Qiao is quite important!

Of course, these are the effects created by the superposition of influence, not complete hard power.

However, this kind of ability is already a ‘superpower’ that these oil tycoons can only hope to achieve.

Thinking of this, Qiao Jia suddenly shook his head and said with a smile: "A group of rich people want to use me as a middleman, do they think too highly of me?

These people just pluck out a hair and it’s thicker than my legs..."

When Said heard this, he gloated and said: "You came up with the method. Do you think what will happen to Qatar if you can't provide guarantees to them?"

Qiao Jia shook his head angrily and said, "I'm giving them fucking advice, but I still have to wipe their butts?"

As he spoke, Qiao Jia squinted at Said who was laughing and joking, and said, "You don't seem to care at all, why?"

Said spread his hands and said: "Brother, Dubai has very little oil resources. We are now an emirate with tourism and financial services as its core industries.

Investing in business is our main goal...

My dad is very satisfied with me now, because the hunting guide company is really a good project.

I am now trying to advance negotiations with other countries in Afica, and that bastard Eric is the main negotiator!

If we could monopolize all hunting indicators in Afika, then we would become the unique and most valuable hunting guide company in the world.

Profit is only secondary! "

Said looked at Qiao Jia and said: "Not to mention other people, Jackal, when will you go to South America?

I don’t have many options there. If you can open things up in Brazil, I can use funds to expand the scale and scope of the hunting company.

Our goal should be to create miraculous human resorts in inaccessible places around the world!

I recently sold some of my fixed assets in England and raised a large sum of money.

Jackal, let’s go to South America to do something!

Let’s go to the center of the Amazon and build a miracle resort that only people worth hundreds of millions of dollars can go to! "

Qiao Jia looked at Said as if he were a ghost...

This guy has been very successful recently. Before Afika's business has been reorganized, he wants to enter the Amazon Center...

Is that a place where people can stay?

According to Boss Qiao's idea, the hunting guide company should build a resort where there are bikinis, and then use seaplanes to transport wealthy people there for fishing adventures and so on.

Go to the depths of the jungle to build a resort. What are you trying to do? Is it just to look like a "Thai pants hot"?

However, Boss Qiao can understand the enthusiasm of these desert tycoons for green.

Now that the green color of the Congo is readily available, this guy’s desire to plant a flag in the Amazon Center is in line with his character, but it is completely inconsistent with business logic.

Just when Boss Qiao wanted to criticize Said's business philosophy, Al Thani walked into the cigar room with a solemn expression, and then closed the door...

Seeing Qiao Jia turning his attention to himself, Al Thani said seriously: "Jackal, let's talk..."
