From arms dealer to king of war

Lu Jun answered the phone quickly, but his voice was a bit noisy...

"Brother Wolf, what do you want from me? I'm catching the lion, haha, don't let it get away."

Hearing the excitement on the other end of the phone, Qiao Jia didn't know how to describe this guy's bad taste.

This guy is indeed a rich second generation with a lot of fun, but what is rare is that he has a sense of responsibility, and has the ambition and execution ability to dare to think and do.

There are more and more dandy kids, but most of the serious second-generation rich are well-educated, and due to family reasons, they have a high error-tolerance rate in life.

Therefore, the second generation of rich people are generally more courageous than children from ordinary families.

When children from ordinary families hesitate to let their parents go bankrupt to support them because of some potentially profitable business, hey, people have already begun to enter the market.

When the children of ordinary families confirm that this kind of business can make money and make their parents bankrupt to support them, hey, they have already made a lot of money, and then they start to prepare to leave.

This is the legendary ‘you can’t eat hot food even if you eat shit’!

It's not because ordinary people are really stupid, but because their lives lack room for error, and they can't get over if they stumble.

When a person has three meals, four dishes and one soup every day, and you ask him to take out everything and take a chance on a 50% chance of having plenty of food and fish every day in the future, how many people can make up his mind?

Everyone always talks about the experiences of those rich people who started from scratch, but they don’t know that when a person has nothing, it is when he is boldest, most ambitious, and has the lowest bottom line. The last point is the most important!

Hearing that the other end of the phone became a little quieter, Qiao Jia said: "There is something, I need you to give me some advice."

When Lu Jun heard this, he loudly greeted the driver to stop the car, then closed the window and said, "Brother Lang, what's going on? There's no need to be so polite between us. If you have anything to do, just tell me. As long as I can help, I'll No problem for sure."

Qiao Jia was silent for a few seconds and said: "Now someone wants to trade with me some minerals near Central Africa, but if the minerals want to produce output, the initial investment will be huge, and the cycle will be very long..."

Qiao Jia gave a rough description of the situation he was facing. Lu Jun on the other side of the phone said a little funny: "Brother Lang, just for this? Why hesitate? Just take it!"

My dad told me that natural resources will always be scarce, and as long as the price is reasonable, we should take as much as we have. "

Qiao Jia was amused by Lu Jun's loud tone. He said a little helplessly: "But it takes time to realize them, and my funds are limited and my manpower is even more limited."

Lu Jun was a little surprised when he heard this and said: "Brother Lang, don't tell me that if you take over the minerals and plan to invest your own funds in development, it will be a bottomless pit.

Even if you have money to invest, gold and copper mines are still worth the effort to transport them out. However, with the traffic conditions and transportation costs in Central Africa, the price of iron ore will never be as high as in Australia. "

After hearing this, Qiao Jia said angrily: "Then you are saying that if the price is right, then we should get them all?"

Lu Jun smiled "hehe" and said: "Brother Lang, mining is dead, but people are alive.

Regardless of other issues, as long as the minerals and land are cheap enough, then get them as much as possible.

If you don’t have enough funds in the early stage, find someone to do an appraisal and prepare a good-looking investment report. As long as the local area is safe and secure, you can use the minerals as collateral for the appraisal report and go to the African Union Development Bank for a loan.

Assess $500 million in mineral properties, and if done properly, it is possible to loan out $200 million in funds.

If you want to make quick money, use minerals to get loans from the national banks in Central Africa or Burundi.

Convert their money into U.S. dollars and save it. Based on the inflation rate in those countries, if you convert the U.S. dollars into local currency and return it to them in two years, you will make a lot of money, and the mine will still be yours.

However, this is a bit annoying. If you want to develop it yourself but lack funds, it is best to go the AU Development Bank route.

Anyway, take out the money first and invest slowly bit by bit. If the situation goes wrong, run away. In the end, no matter how bad the situation is, you will just make less money.

I don't know the prices of your minerals. If you have any doubts, you can give me a detailed explanation and I will find someone to help you evaluate them.

Anyway, as long as it comes from a regular source and the cost is lower than the market price, I guarantee you will definitely make money! "

Qiao Jia sighed with emotion after hearing this, said thank you and hung up the phone.

‘Business’ is really not a simple matter of buying and selling. Ordinary people cannot change their thinking, and they will never be able to catch up with the rich second generation who have been influenced by the family business atmosphere for a long time.

Qiao Jia would never have imagined that such an operation could exist. While making money from land and minerals, he used land and minerals to mortgage with banks to obtain funds, and used Afika's money to invest in Afika.

The more ruthless one can also directly use loans to tie up Burundi's national bank.

With their total GDP of 2 billion a year, if I borrow $200 million worth of local currency from them, then convert it into U.S. dollars and transfer it for deposit, I can force the president of Burundi to call him daddy in a few years.

Because if Choga chooses to pay back the money with devalued Burundian francs, their national bank may go bankrupt.

But as Lu Jun said, this matter is too hateful. With Qiao Jia's weak background, it is easy for people to suppress him if he does this.

Both Europe and the United States are experts in this field. It is not an exaggeration to say that those big capitals are going to hell for what they do with their sickles.

That is to say, they have done too many fucked-up things in the past and did anything to make quick money. This not only allowed them to form the habit of making quick money, but also led to their poor credit. The people of Afika did not trust them and wanted to Otherwise, I guess this kind of transaction should be more common.

Nowadays, the defense companies that are really capable and willing to spend time in this industry are giants, and most of them have unfathomable backgrounds behind them.

They can integrate a resource chain, but the more people participate, the higher the cost of maintaining the entire chain.

So those giants are very powerful, but they are also very bloated.

Ordinary defense companies cannot do this because they do not have so many resources. Once the realization time is extended, most defense companies that are not large enough can be brought down.

Qiao Jia took advantage of a loophole and got an order that the giants were not willing to take and ordinary defense companies were unable to take.

After thinking about everything, Joga looked at Batista again, his eyes softened.

Batista couldn't understand the conversation between him and Lu Jun, but the fierce-looking black security minister saw the result from Qiao Jia's expression.

This guy stood up and straightened his collar in a stylish manner, then stretched out his hand to Qiao Jia and said, "Then we are finally done talking!"

Joga stretched out his hand and shook Batista hard, nodded and said: "Deal, please leave your contact information, my lawyer will come to Tunisia in a few days.

I will organize a reception at that time. After we sign the contract, you will pay the money into the designated account as required, and then you can go back and wait for the good news. "

Batista grinned, showing his white teeth, and said with a smile: "Mary is right, you are a capable person, I will wait for news from you in Tunisia.

Burundi is an inconspicuous small country, but the scenery there is beautiful. As locals, we still hope that it can prosper.

Our demographic structure is the same as that of Rwanda. Rwanda can learn from you and become a stable country, and so can Burundi. We need people like you there. "

After sending away this black minister with great style and Afika temperament, Qiao Jia sat on the sofa and thought for a long time, realizing that he was still too young.

Batista and Mary Enola actually followed the same path, paying a premium for minerals to get what they wanted, and then hoping that Joga could bring funds from the outside world to transform the minerals into a real industry. Looking forward to it The industrial chain derived from it can drive a series of industries.

Listening to Batista's last hint, you know, 'They want the country to prosper and need people like Joga.' That certainly doesn't mean they want him to empty their treasury through financial means...

Who said Afika people are naive and simple?

Like people everywhere, they are eager to develop, because only when the plate is bigger can they eat more and occupy more.

Burundi cannot do the same thing on its own because it has a lot of debt and a very low credit rating, and the African Union Development Bank will not trust them.

This is just like my hometown in the 1980s and 1990s. Foreign companies enjoy high-level treatment in China, but private companies have to face all kinds of troubles if they want to get loans.

In the early days, this was not simply a matter of worshiping foreigners or discriminating against foreigners, but because foreigners would indeed bring advanced technologies and foreign trade channels, and many times your experience was indeed insufficient and your corporate system was not mature enough to withstand the impact of marketization. , the risk of lending to you is relatively high.

In this way, in the early years, domestic banks incurred a large amount of bad debts. If the government had not divested all non-performing assets and established management companies to allow the four major banks to operate with ease, according to the so-called market laws in the West, all the four major banks would have collapsed. A hundred times.

This is the core contradiction between the East and the West. As far as results are concerned, the market economy will never be able to compete with the policy economy of the referee.

Countries dominated by capital will never be able to tolerate this situation. Those who think that they can get peace by bowing their heads and being submissive are just dreaming.

When you can't win by playing with money, shouldn't you take advantage of it?

But these have nothing to do with Joga. According to the local situation in Burundi, as long as he is really prepared to invest in mining, he will be the father of the funder that the president will bow to when he meets him.

Lu Jun's words opened a new door for Qiao Jia. There must be many difficulties and obstacles in it, but as long as he knew that this road was there, he would dare to try it.

what is the relationship? The big deal is just making less money!

Blockade is sometimes really beneficial. The more the West blocks the blockade, the higher the arms profits of Choga will be!

The 'Professor' sat across from Qiao Jia until he completely came to his senses and then said, "Have you concluded the negotiation?"

Qiao Jia nodded heavily and said: "The deal is done! Check the inventory of Lazar 3 quickly. This customer is in a hurry. They will hold an election in two months, and he wants to ensure the tranquility of the capital during the election. .

Compared with their own old tanks, the more advanced Lazar 3 armored vehicles are more suitable for the situations they will face. "

As Qiao Jia suddenly thought of something, he shook his head and said with a smile: "I never thought that my business could guarantee the tranquility of a country's capital.

I now feel that I am a good person. You must not expose me and let me stay in the illusion of a 'good person' for a while longer. "

After hearing this, the 'Professor' looked into Qiao Jia's eyes and said, "You are indeed a good person, a respected and good person!"
