From arms dealer to king of war

The communication between Qiao Jia and Lu Jun was smooth because both parties were willing to consider each other.

Just like this morning when I found out that my ambassador came to support me uninvited, there was a little tacit understanding in it.

Congo's resource structure determines that Qiaojia cannot control the upstream resources like in Sangha Town, and then integrate resources to improve downstream industries.

The plan proposed by Lu Jun actually gave Qiao Jia more bargaining chips, shortened Boss Qiao's payment collection cycle, increased profit margins, and most importantly, saved a lot of things.

After confirming Lu Jun's intention, and then inviting him to spend a few more days in Sangha Town, Qiao Jia turned around and took the two ambassadors and the President of Central Africa together to visit P·B's base and have a meal by the way. .

Francois, the President of Central Africa, has completely let go. This guy finally caught two big heads, and of course he is going to beg for food.

Not to mention a huge country, the ambassador of China did not withstand the "pleading" and "reluctantly" agreed to provide an infrastructure loan of 80 million US dollars and accepted a piece of "manganese" mine as collateral.

The US$80 million is actually equivalent to being given for free, except that the project funds never pass through the hands of Central Africa, but directly enter the account of China State Construction Engineering Corporation.

It has been said that it is an infrastructure loan, so it is natural to use it for infrastructure construction. Who else in this industry is more suitable than China Construction?

And that 'manganese mine' is actually equivalent to being given to China by the Central African government, because it is not far from Sangha Town and can completely supplement the industrial chain of Sangha Town.

Francois finally figured it out. All his efforts were to make Sangha Town's market bigger, and he couldn't always count on Boss Qiao to keep throwing money into it.

When Qiao Jia saw this situation, he understood that the ambassador was actually well prepared. The 80 million should be used for the PB platform, specifically to disgust the French.

Once the French put forward harsh conditions, the person in charge of the negotiations in Sangha Town can come up with a Chinese investment plan...

"Dad, you can't go too far, otherwise the Central African people will be sad."

Qiao Jia wants to laugh when he thinks of this...

In order to impress themselves, the French transferred 300 extra-legal soldiers from Niger and expanded the number of extra-legal soldiers here to 500.

In the end, not only was Qiao Jia not frightened, but he also had to pay Qiao Jia for food and drinks.

500 French dollars plus 500 blue hats, a day's worth of food and drink would cost 300,000 euros. Because they were encircling and suppressing enemies in the jungle, P·B also charged an additional 20% for food delivery.

Coupled with constant calls for helicopters and artillery support, P·B can earn 800,000 euros from these people at most in a day.

That is to say, the "Ghost Mercenary Group" is not powerful. If they survive in the jungle for a year, Boss Qiao will make a fortune working in logistics.

They came with so many people just to promote force and gain an advantageous position for negotiations. As a result, the Chinese ambassador came up and spent 80 million to set the tone, ruining most of their efforts in an instant.

At this time, Qiao Jia suddenly felt a little displeased with Ambassador Steven...

While leading several big shots to eat in the cafeteria, Qiao Jia looked at Steven with a sinister look and said, "Mr. Ambassador, as a representative of the United States, when you see the current situation of poverty in Central Africa, don't you have any expression?"

Steven forked a piece of fatty braised pork, frowned, took a bite, and said, "Well, this method tastes very good, but it's a pity that there is no market for pork in the Middle East. Otherwise, it could be made into cans and sent over."

When Qiaojia saw this guy, he quickly changed the subject, implying that there was still a lot of business to be done in the Middle East, so don't embarrass him on Central African issues. Qiaojia said with a smile: "Actually, Central African beef and mutton are also good, especially buffalo meat. Although there is not much fat, the taste is quite good.

I understood it as soon as you mentioned canned food. I think it would be no problem for Mr. Ambassador to invest in a canning factory on behalf of the United States..."

Being inexplicably squeezed out by Qiao Jia, Steven felt a little helpless. Thinking about how he had always maintained a high profile before, it was a bit unpleasant to see the Chinese Ambassador smiling.

However, the old American is thick-skinned. In order to appear more gregarious with the soldiers eating around him, he rudely took a few mouthfuls of rice, then took a sip of the mixed juice, then praised and said with a smile: "Jackal, I Coming here alone, without the support of industrial capital, I can't give you a blank check.

You know that my wife is a small shareholder of ExxonMobil, and I still have some influence, so do you think China Africa has..."

"have!!"

Qiaojia and Francois agreed in unison: "Yes, there are not only oil fields but also natural gas."

Steven looked at Qiao Jia as if he were a ghost and said: "The current cost of oil extraction is about US$45 per barrel. Do you think the oil and gas resources in Central Africa are worth investing in?"

As he spoke, Steven turned his attention to the Chinese ambassador. Then the elegant ambassador smiled shyly. After taking a sip of vegetable soup, he suddenly frowned and stood up and said apologetically: "I'm going to go there." Toilet……"

Seeing that the Chinese people known as Afika Shiyu had withdrawn, Steven looked at Qiao Jia, spread his hands and said: "You see, business is business..."

Qiaojia looked at Francois next to him and seemed a little disappointed. He kicked him secretly, and then said to Steven: "Man, we are friends. Of course, the oil and gas from Central Africa is not worth it in the world." Mention, but don’t you think it can benefit the people of Central and African countries after it is developed?

Central Africa does not even have its own refinery yet. All gasoline is imported from abroad, and the cost of vehicle use is naturally higher.

This place is already poor. Without the support of kind-hearted people like you, when can we truly enter modernization?

America is the beacon of the world, and you, as the representative of the beacon, can't you bear to see this country remain in a state of ignorance? "

Steven looked at Qiao Jia as if he were a ghost, and then noticed the cunning look in Boss Qiao's eyes, and he suddenly realized something...

"Should I ask my wife to arrange for an inspection team to come over and make a detailed assessment of the oil and gas resources in Central Africa?"

Qiao Jia reached out and nodded at Steven, and said with a smile: "Francois will organize a media meeting tomorrow. I think it's best for you to express your intention in this regard."

Steven now fully understood that his mission was to raise the price of oil and gas resources in Central Africa by making a fuss.

It is unlikely that the French Business Group will intervene in the core projects of Sangha Town. If they want to increase their influence, they can only focus on infrastructure or basic projects.

Boss Qiao probably wants to sell the energy project to France...

Look, Daddy Afika just opened his mouth and took away the oil field. How honorable is that?

In the future, the oil and gas industry in Central Africa will be controlled by France. Isn’t this influence leveraged?

However, Steven, who is very familiar with the energy industry, knows that oil and gas in Central Africa are money-losing goods. Because the reserves are not high, it is not affordable to repair pipelines, let alone build a refinery...

Natural gas is profitable, but it needs to be connected to Sangha Town, and then beg grandpa and grandma to let those bumpkins convert it into a natural gas blast furnace, or directly build a natural gas power plant to sell electricity to make money.

As long as you enter the game, you will be lucky to be able to achieve profitability within twenty years. And how many years does the average life span of a company only last?

Things that no one competes for are worthless, and are not even qualified to be used as bargaining chips.

But once Steven wanted to intervene in the energy industry of Central Africa with a "retaliation", France had to follow suit holding his nose.

Everyone knows that Steven suffered a great injustice in Libya, and now that the top leaders of the United States are pampering him, it is normal for him to do something bad to disgust France.

The French still have nothing to do with him, because the direction of America's energy has shifted. If they offend Steven at this time, they are creating a deadly feud.

After understanding Boss Qiao's 'trick', Steven said with a smile: "How about arranging a few paparazzi, I can 'accidentally meet' the representative of the French Energy Group, and then express my anger and disdain to him.

My experience was indirectly related to them, so whatever I did was reasonable. "

Qiao Jia nodded solemnly, and then said with a smile: "I think you should also express your covetment for the oil and gas resources in Central Africa. They are all underground oil and gas. You cannot discriminate against them just because they are in Central Africa. They are It must be valuable...

The French want to take them away at cabbage prices, which is disrespectful to them.

They can be a little cheaper than other places, but they can't be too cheap, otherwise it won't be in line with France's image of liberal and democratic development, don't you think? "

Steven nodded seriously and said: "France was once the suzerain country of Central Africa. They plundered countless resources from here. Now it is time for them to repay their debts.

Don't worry, I will never sit back and watch 'plundering' happen again in this land!

Even if I pay for it myself, I still have to increase the price of oil and gas resources, haha..."

Francois looked at the two of them as if they were ghosts, and they were telling each other to give the Central African energy project to France. He thought for a long time and patted his thigh. When he was about to praise Boss Qiao for being so tall, Boss Qiao He had already stood up and pulled the Chinese ambassador back from the bathroom...

You are here, of course you have to go to the shooting range to have fun. If you want to fly a fighter jet, I will have someone take you to the sky to have fun...

The ambassador's secretary was always careful and observant, which made Qiao Jia feel a little aggrieved for him.

We are all our own people. If you are embarrassed to say it, then I will show you openly. There is nothing shameful about P·B!

Just when everyone was having fun, intelligence officer Thompson approached Qiao Jia...

This guy talked with the two ambassadors and the president in a personable manner, exchanged phone numbers, then pulled Qiaojia aside and said: "Boss, the French handed over the confession of the 'ghost'.

Mayor Lenore is trying to get the French to hand over those who surrendered, but the progress is not very great. "

Upon hearing this, Qiao Jia nodded and said: "I want people just for revenge, and I can start taking action once I have a confession.

How are your preparations in North Kivu? "

Thompson smiled and nodded, and said: "The special forces have been deployed, and we have found out the bases and residences of the two warlords who cooperate with Walker Mining...

But I know boss, you want a big scene, so I'm waiting for your order! "
