From arms dealer to king of war

Chapter 505 How could this happen?

What is the image of P·B in Afika?

Haftar of the National Army gave a standard answer...

"Help me capture Tobruk, and I will hand over all the defense contracts for the oil refining equipment to you, worth US$20 million per year!!

If you can help me restore production there, guarantee to provide no less than 5,000 jobs, and transfer 50% of the equity and actual management of the refinery to P·B. "

Qiao Jia did know where Tobruk was. Boss Qiao had just passed there with a group of workers three hours ago.

Tobruk is home to the largest oil refinery in the northeastern corner of Libya, and an oil pipeline connects it directly from the central oil fields.

Tobruk is Libya's most important crude oil and refined oil export city, but it has been under the control of Al Qaeda in recent years.

The National Army has been trying to recapture Tobruk, but their control has not yet reached there.

Haftar, the leader of the National Army, knows P.B...

In fact, he only shouldered 20 million US dollars in defense expenses. Boss Qiao had to pick up the rest by himself and asked for help in resuming work and production and stabilizing the local area.

Boss Qiao's image of a kind person, a lot of money, enough abilities, many friends, and strong organizational skills is somewhat deeply rooted in the hearts of the big shots in Afika.

Normally Haftarti's conditions are good, but what Boss Joe did this time was for Nice.

For the first time, Boss Qiao saw Nice trying to escape from something. This hard-hearted girl showed a rare vulnerability, which greatly touched Qiao Jia.

Do something!

Even if it makes Nice a little happier and a little more human...

In this case, the conditions proposed by Haftar are inappropriate, because he regards P.B. as a mercenary with immediate combat capabilities, and the kind of charitable mercenary who is willing to fight on credit.

If the same conditions were applied to Iraq, Choga would agree without any hesitation, but this would not work in Libya.

If you say you want to help those refugees, you have to help them!

But Boss Qiao's little money is just a drop in the bucket. He needs someone to advance the money. Otherwise, Boss Qiao's drawings alone will not attract enough funds to enter. He needs more chips.

“I want all the income from Tobruk in the next three years. After three years, I only want 50% of the shares, and then the share will decrease by 5% every year until I get 20%.

I require that all crude oil imported from the Southern Oilfield be sold to refineries. The price should not be higher than 50 US dollars a barrel within 3 years. From the 4th to the 8th year, the crude oil price should be 20% lower than the market price.

In exchange, I will provide no less than 15,000 jobs and provide supplies worth $50 million to the national military government each of the first three years. "

The conditions proposed by Boss Qiao are actually not harsh, because there are no oil fields around Tobruk, so Boss Qiao still has to pay for the imported crude oil, but it is just cheaper.

Moreover, the reality is that the National Army cannot capture Tobruk for the time being, and factories that cannot operate are worthless.

Once Boss Qiao captures Tobruk and holds it, the National Army will have one more crude oil export point, and one more source of funds for them, which is all money coming out of the ground, and the cheaper it is, the cheaper it is.

Haftar is the kind of person who really wants to reunify Libya. Among the conditions proposed by Boss Joe, the one that impressed him most was 15,000 jobs.

At this time, we can see the role of P·B’s good reputation. Haftar almost agreed to Boss Qiao’s request without hesitation...

"Jackal, I agree to your conditions, but I want to add one more thing, and it must be clearly stated in the contract...

P·B needs to ensure the safety of the people around Tobruk and Bardi. I don’t want to see people from Al Qaeda drive in and drive away a large number of fanatical soldiers. "

Qiao Jia said a little funny after hearing this: "Brother, I have a very profitable business in the Congo, a more profitable business than this bad place!

But my girlfriend wanted to help people here, so I called you.

The conditions you mentioned are not requirements for me, but you cannot mark something that I am prepared to do my best as a goal that must be completed.

I'm doing good things, are you still going to use KPIs to evaluate me? "

As Qiao Jia looked at P·B's motorcade in the distance, he grinned and said: "If you have the guts, I will clear a section of the highway and you come by plane. We will be witnessed by the American ambassador and the media. Complete the signing."

Haftar heard this and said in disbelief: "Ambassador Steven is in your hands?"

Qiao Jia sneered and said: "To be precise, he asked me for help because he was not protected by the National Army!

Dude, you owe me a favor because I protected Ambassador Steven from getting on the U.S. diplomatic blacklist. "

Haftar was silent for a long time and said: "Jackal, I don't know how to explain the ambassador's question. Everything happened suddenly!"

Of course Joga knows what is going on. Regarding the ambassador’s issue, Haftar is also a victim.

This matter is driven by the French and American internal forces. People like Haftar cannot get entangled in this matter, otherwise he will be unlucky.

Thinking about it and knowing that Haftar might not dare to come to an area controlled by terrorists at such a critical moment, Boss Qiao smiled and said: "I believe the ambassador will understand your difficulties, but the contract must be signed, otherwise I will not be able to mobilize So much power.

Let's do this, you are responsible for the security of Benghazi Airport, and I will send a lawyer who is not afraid of death and a team of reporters to find you, and then they will come to me with the signed contract.

What do you think of this? "

The more rational and legal a person is, the easier it will be to gain the trust of people like Haftar, because Boss Joe cares about him and he will not easily break his promise.

This is a win-win deal. P.B. opened up a stable financial source and a stable area for Libya during the war.

After 4 to 8 years, P·B will return most of the equity in the refinery and only retain 20%.

The most important thing is that Boss Joe can help stabilize the situation in Tobruk and Bardi, saving hundreds of thousands of Libyans from war.

He is doing what the national military government wants to do but cannot do.

And only P·B can do this kind of thing! !

The strength of the big country is definitely stronger than P·B, but France is betting on both the Government of National Unity and the National Army, and wants Libyan politics to maintain an unstable balance.

The Chinese do want to help and get some benefits, but they cannot interfere in other countries' internal affairs, especially not send troops to interfere.

If national institutions can’t do it, can big companies do it?

The reality is that no matter how powerful a large company is, the cost of integrating resources for large multinational companies is too high, and the profits of this contract are completely inconsistent with the demands of large companies.

To sum up, the giant companies think it is not cost-effective because the income is too low!

The total income of Tobruk in 10 years may be able to impress some giants, but the National Army will not agree.

In this kind of work, either the big countries take the lead in providing assistance, or the national military government takes the lead in sharing the cake.

The reality is that there is no gratuitous aid, and the credibility of the national military government is barely there.

Looking at the entire Afika, only P·B is willing to do this and can do it.

If Haftar was still preoccupied with this kind of business, he would not be able to sit in his current position.

“We’re dealing, Jackal!

Thank you for your contribution to Libya! ! "

Qiao Jia smiled and hung up the phone, completing this negotiation which was not difficult...

P·B's credibility is only one aspect. The core reason that makes this matter so simple is that Choga is inducing Haftar to use things in the hands of terrorists to trade with him.

The National Army is recognized by several major powers. With their legitimacy, they have the right to inherit the legacy of the previous Libyan government.

As long as the contract is established, Boss Qiao can spread the hero post and invite heroes from all over the world to come and share the cake.

P·B really does not have the manpower to open up a new battlefield in Libya, so Boss Qiao wants to use Libya as an experimental site to verify the feasibility of the Iraq operation while also trying to explore a new path.

The first person Boss Qiao grabbed was Lao Chen from the oil and gas company...

When he told Lao Chen about his deal with Haftar, the old man's eyes almost popped out of his head.

People with a few barrels of oil are working hard all over the world just to ensure the domestic supply of crude oil.

And Boss Qiao got the top three oil refineries in Libya with just a phone call, and there was also a Mediterranean crude oil outlet.

Even if Boss Qiao does not resume operations at the refinery, just by ensuring the operation of the port, he can make a lot of money from the low-priced crude oil of US$55 a barrel.

Now Boss Qiao wants more, and even wants to contract out the refinery. For Lao Chen, this business is like gold nuggets falling from the sky.

Of course, it is just an intention now, and the share of crude oil and refined oil exports needs to be shared with Europe, otherwise those guys will have more than enough success but not enough failure.

But as long as Boss Qiao shows his ability to win Tobruk, what does the next advance amount mean?

Didn’t Boss Qiao just order tents for food and drink in the early stage?

People from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs are here, spending money to organize supplies in Egypt and send them there. As long as it is in the name of humanitarian assistance, it will bring benefits and a reputation. How great?

With money and friendship as the backing, how efficient can Chinese people be?

In just 4 hours, the first batch of emergency food and tents organized from the Egyptian border city of Saloum were delivered.

The truck was hung with a banner that read, "Chinese people's hearts are with Libya." It drove all the way across the border and delivered the items to Boss Qiao.

In the end, the drivers left their cars behind, happily returned to Egypt with a 500-yuan tip, and prepared for the next trip.

And this was just the beginning. At 4 o'clock in the afternoon that day, two Russian transport planes landed on the highway cleared by P·B, and then ran out of the brigade of soldiers, as well as 6 self-propelled howitzers and a large number of light and heavy weapons. .

Ramsay, the Egyptian border officer, stood on the sentry tower, his eyes bulging out when he looked through a telescope.

Russian transport planes carrying Serbs invaded Libya?

Those Serbian artillerymen and paratroopers, some of whom did not even take off their epaulettes, reported to the boss of P·B as soon as they got off the plane, and then set up a defense line around the Libyan border guard post.

If these can still explain it, when the four Gazelles and two Mi-8s loaded with supplies of the Egyptian Army Air Force crossed the border and landed in the open space, Egyptian border officer Ramsey felt that he was about to have a heart attack.

Although the models of those helicopters are a bit older, can't you fucking smuggle arms and spray the paint a little thicker to completely cover the Army Aviation logo?

Do you think that if you put tape on the chest and arms of your flight suit, I won't be able to recognize you as Air Force pilots?

As a result, border officer Ramsey called his superiors to confirm, but received a curse word and a warning to 'stay out of other people's business'. He saw an even more incredible scene.

An Italian held a border inspection stamp from the Libyan border and kept handing out small cards to the Egyptian border guards while fooling the Egyptian border guards...

“Guys, when do you get off work?

We need manpower here. We don't need you to fight. We just need to help maintain order and establish observation posts.

$100 a day, wages are paid on a daily basis.

If you want to come, bring your passport and I'll stamp your entry. "

The border officer watched the soldiers under his command gathered around and kept asking questions about the roster. He covered his mouth in disbelief and said, "Oh, damn, what's going on?"
