From arms dealer to king of war

When he heard that it was not an arms business, Qiao Jia lost most of his interest.

With the military intelligence capabilities of the Gulf coalition and their sieve-like confidentiality system due to their inextricable connections with terrorists, they simply cannot support a powerful strike team.

It is easy for the UAE to serve as a sharp knife against the Houthis and al-Qaeda.

Originally, he thought that the rich men in Abu Dhabi valued PB's performance in Iraq and were interested in purchasing some high-quality and low-cost weapons to enrich the coalition base in Yemen.

After all, the effects that can be achieved by bombing alone are limited.

Even Qiao Jia had thought about it. If possible, he would be willing to send an automatic artillery battalion there, and at the same time match up with a group of special forces to ensure the safety of the artillery battalion.

Playing, training, and selling at the same time, this is the right way to make money!

At the same time, Qiao Jia can completely compete with the arms groups in the United States that eat people but not spit out bones, and take orders for weapons that they disdain.

For example, artillery, and supply orders for various light weapons and ammunition...

Unexpectedly, these wealthy Gulf men actually wanted to bring their own dry food to compete for business with the United States. How was that possible?

The mercenary giants in Iraq are nothing compared to the military-industrial complex.

Cubic Company is considered the leader among the mercenary groups. It makes a lot of money but does not need to go to the front line. Such a company is also the younger brother in the military industrial group.

When people are gathering wool, they go up to grab a bite to eat, and then encourage the rich guys to give up their high-tech and return to simple fighting. This is not as simple as offending someone.

Yemen itself is a quagmire. How is this possible that these Gulf wealthy men still want to keep Choga in trouble?

P·B is in business, not responsible for carrying the thunder for others!

Qiao Jia did not immediately reject Harmandan...

Business is something that is negotiated. If the other party's needs cannot be met by oneself, then everyone will look for points where they can fit in. First, we will cooperate a few times on a limited basis. After the relationship is in place, we will see if there is any other business that can be done.

Boss Qiao has invested a lot of money in Afika. He really needs a group of wealthy people like the Gulf Alliance to be his customers.

Harmandan himself has little knowledge of politics and military affairs. This super Internet celebrity prince took the position of crown prince after his brother died and took over investment businesses.

In his heart, mercenaries are the kind of people who do dirty work. Dubai has become a target threatened by the Houthi armed forces, which makes him and his father very nervous.

Therefore, we want to find a few powerful teams, not to protect Dubai, but to cross the border into Oman or Yemen to attack the Houthi armed forces and establish a deterrent force.

It's a pity that he found the wrong person this time. It's not that Boss Qiao is afraid, but that simple mercenaries can't afford the current P·B.

Dubai is rich, and they are not taking advantage of them. They will not really pay a premium of 5 to 8 times to hire P·B.

Qiao Jia has been in this industry for some years. P·B's special stance allows him to break out of the mercenary field and be able to view it from a higher perspective.

Harmandan just said a word, and he understood almost instantly what this guy's concept of mercenaries was...

"I pay and you work hard'

This is Harmandan and even most people in the world's simplest understanding of mercenaries, but this is what those war dogs are used to, so it's not surprising that he would think so.

However, if Harmandan positions P·B in this way, then the people in Abu Dhabi are probably not much different.

This makes Qiao Jia feel a bit tricky. He has to find a way to change the impression of these wealthy people and get to know P·B again, so that the business can continue downwards.

Without clear understanding and frank communication between the two parties, Qiao Jia would rather not do this kind of business...

The atmosphere was somewhat silent for a while. It wasn't until several people walked to a small water bar together and each ordered a drink that everyone became familiar with Said's jokes.

As long as these princes don't talk about business, they are top-notch when it comes to having fun.

Let's talk about yachts, airplanes, horses, supermodels...

Harmandan complained that the noise of Boeing's passenger planes was a bit loud, and Tajnoni complained that the designer of Italy's top yacht company RIVA was unreliable and could not understand his ideas.

I really don’t mean to show off, but this kind of unconscious Versailles is very exciting.

Boss Qiao has flown on many private jets, from his own Piper PA-42 to Gami’s Gulfstream business jet to Said’s Boeing 747. He has experienced all the mainstream models in the world, but except for himself Piper, he really didn't realize how noisy the other planes were.

And so far, Boss Qiao has never really set foot on a top-class yacht. The best yacht he has ever seen is the vacation yacht of Gulf Group drug dealer Alessandro, but compared with RIVA, that thing belongs to Fiat and Ferrari. the difference.

When Tahnoni encountered a topic he liked, he was really happy to chat and share it with others. He took out his mobile phone, prepared a few conceptual design drawings and circulated them to several people...

Then he complained: "Those Italians are all brainless. They have been changing a plan for two years, but to this day they still haven't given me a satisfactory result.

I just need to add elements of the Nahyan family and add a prayer room inside the yacht. Why not?

Am I asking too much? "

Qiao Jia took Tahnoni's mobile phone and enlarged the design drawing, wanting to see which master dared to refute the wealthy man's request...

As a result, he didn't recognize the name, but he saw the design of Tahnoni's so-called "prayer room".

This thing is obviously a high-tech prayer room designed by Tahnoni alone. This room not only needs an all-round circular display so that the prince can always have a sunny day while praying, but the ground also needs to be able to rotate. And automatically locate the direction of the holy city of Mecca...

This means that if Tahenoni kneels there, no matter where the yacht is, the prayer room will take him facing the direction of the Holy City.

Qiao Jia would never have imagined that these rich people would find it difficult to even read a compass and would actually engage in such a thing.

Is this considered pious or impious?

At this time, Qiao Jia understood why the yacht designer found it difficult. To make this thing compatible, he needed to redesign the internal structure of the yacht.

Because this is not just a matter of removing a room, the location of the prayer room also has requirements...

After lamenting how hard it was to take care of Tahnoni, Qiaojia became more determined not to discuss the business with them further for the time being...

He handed the phone back to Tahnoni. Just as he was about to praise this guy's 'good taste' with a smile, he heard Tahnoni say: "Jackal, are you interested in yachting? Next month Abu There will be a huge boat show in Zabi..."

Qiao Jia knew that this guy was implicitly inviting him to visit Abu Dhabi. Although he didn't know what this guy was trying to do with him, the arrogance of being a wealthy person made it a bit difficult for Boss Qiao to resist...

In the eyes of these rich people, small yachts that are less than 40 meters long and can only run on the beach are not called yachts at all, but the prices of top-class yachts over 45 meters are simply unbelievable...

What is Boss Qiao doing looking at that thing?

With two to three billion US dollars, wouldn't it be nice for him to buy two 056A foreign trade versions?

Seeing Tahnoni's earnest expression, Qiao Jia put on a begging posture and said helplessly: "I'd better forget it. Thousands of people in the company need to eat, and it's unreasonable for me as a boss to be extravagant and wasteful. "

Tahenoni didn't know what he was thinking. He obviously wanted Qiaojia to go to Abu Dhabi. He didn't care about Qiaojia's crying, but said with a smile: "Just go and have a look. When you really see When you arrive, you will fall in love with those big toys...

Every man should have a yacht that can conquer the sea!

You should ask Harmandan and Said about this, they are both senior yacht enthusiasts..."

Harmandan was still a little reserved, but this topic may have scratched Said's itch. He smiled and said: "Yes, I am a loyal user of French Beneteau Yachts. I like their conservative style and participate in it." Designed six yachts which were very popular among my elders…

Jackal, you should really think about it. I heard that the boat parked in your mansion in Santorini is actually a second-hand boat. Such a boat does not fit your identity.

I saw it when you took a group photo in front of you. You need at least a 70-foot yacht to accommodate your many family members.

Really, I can give you a reference!

You can purchase it in the name of your American branch, which can offset part of the tax. "

Qiao Jia was annoyed by Said's tone. He shook his head and said: "Actually, I personally don't like yachts, but I have a big ship that can conquer the ocean.

I have a 'Hamilton-class patrol ship' with a displacement of 3,250 tons. This baby is currently being renovated in an Italian shipyard.

In the future, it will have a 40mm Bofors gun, an Italian Otto Melara 76mm naval gun, two Chinese-made 1130 close-in defense guns, and 4 sets of Hellfire missile launch systems...

I am currently discussing with the designer whether to install an Avengers melee air defense system...

I have to say that the Italian designer is really not very flexible. He always tells me that the "Sea Sparrow" is more effective, but I just think the "Stinger" launched by the Avengers is cheap and easy to use. "

As Qiaojia looked at Said and Tahenoni's stunned expressions, he said apologetically: "I'm sorry, my taste is really bad.

But I also have two French-made Seahawk-43s. They are not very good at fighting, but they run really fast and look quite sci-fi.

Why don't you, Said, help me find a yacht company so that I can get a Seahawk 43 and transform it into a yacht? "

Qiaojia's slightly childish 'showing off' made Tahnoni and Harmandan laugh...

At this time, the two realized that Qiao Jia really didn’t want any yacht...

It is difficult for any owner of a private company in the world to have any spare time to raise a super yacht when he already has a few boats.

Tahnoni did not give up. He looked at Qiao Jia and said sincerely: "Jackal, I appreciate your commitment to your career, but I still sincerely invite you to visit Abu Dhabi.

There are a lot of investment opportunities out there..."

Qiao Jia was stunned by this guy's attitude. It seemed that he wanted to talk directly at first, but later found out that Harmandan was a little unhappy, so now he changed his attitude and wanted to invite him to Abu Dhabi for talks...

Qiao Jia didn't know what Tahnoni wanted. He hesitated and said, "Can you tell me a little bit about what kind of opportunity it is?"
