From arms dealer to king of war

The political meaning of warships is too strong. For any country to purchase warships, except for spending money in Europe with a little freedom, in the past, choosing sides between the United States and Russia was an act with strong political meaning.

It is difficult for Qiao Jia to judge whether there are risks in the foreign trade of Chinese warships!

However, as a big-hearted arms dealer, it would be a pity if he could not have a foot in this when faced with the tycoons of Abu Dhabi.

The tonnage of 056 is really suitable for them. What they need now is a chance to demonstrate whether this thing is useful.

Seeing that Tahnoni didn't seem too interested, Qiaojia hesitated for a moment and said: "You stay here for two more days and wait for my news...

If that doesn't work, let's try to jointly buy a training ship. You offer 200 million, and I will offer 200 million too.

First buy a 'training ship' and try it out. I will be responsible for the trial and pay for the maintenance. I can also help you train the navy when the time comes. "

When Tahnoni heard this, he looked at Qiaojia as if he were a ghost and said, "A training ship costs 400 million US dollars?"

Upon hearing this, Qiaojia waved his hand and said: "As long as the vertical launch unit is sealed, it will become a 'training ship'. If not, how can I drive it back to Tobruk to organize training?

How about it? Do you want to try it?

Everyone shares the risk, and you think it’s good. If you give me 100 million at that time, you can sail the ship back.

If you think it’s not good, I’ll give you money to buy shares in our ‘Princess Maritime Security Company’. The security business from the Mediterranean Sea to the Gulf of Aden is very good, and there are dividends...

Think about it, if there is a 056 ship in which you have a stake that often goes in and out of the Gulf of Aden, then if something goes wrong for your people in Yemen, it will be so convenient for you to call for help! "

Tahnoni was a little confused by Boss Qiao’s ‘business experience’...

"I will cooperate with you to buy a frigate, and you will be responsible for using it?"

Upon hearing this, Qiao Jia knew that this guy was not easy to fool. He smiled dryly and said: "I paid half of the money, and I have to make the ship move, right?"

After hearing this, Tahnoni pondered for a long time and said: "A 1,300-ton guided missile frigate, US$400 million?"

As Qiao Jia wanted to speak, this guy said, "Compared to other people's products, they are not too expensive, but is the missile system inside reliable?"

How do you know if Qiao Jia is reliable?

He knew that the last time he asked about the price, the current price of the top-spec 056 foreign trade version was US$180 million.

At that time, the salesman said that 056 has not been officially sold out yet. It is all orders from the domestic navy, so the price has not been announced and cannot be found.

If you really want it, there is still room for the price to go down.

Abu Dhabi is definitely dominated by local tycoons. These people are not price sensitive, but they are not fools either.

Qiao Jia didn't really want to join forces with them to buy a frigate. It would be difficult for him to maintain it.

He will not let the UAE take a stake in the Princess Maritime Security Company. Albert II is also not short of money. If the tycoons from the UAE come in, Albert II may misunderstand.

Boss Qiao wants to impress the price of '400 million' deeply into Tahnoni's mind.

Then after he found out the details of 056 and the risks of agent warship sales, he gave Tahnoni a surprise.

Let's find an opportunity to get on the ship and take a look. There is an existing ship in Djibouti. If we break his bones at the critical moment, I won't believe that they won't be tempted!

There will be a huge Abu Dhabi defense exhibition in February next year. As long as the preliminary work is done in place, it is not impossible to negotiate for Qiao Jia to temporarily act as the foreign trade sales agent of 056.

This is the real business that makes a lot of money. Even if a ship can only earn 20 to 50 million, it is still higher than the annual profits of many large companies.

What did Boss Qiao do? He did nothing but make friends and brag.

People sailed over to participate in the defense exhibition and burned their own oil.

This is much easier and more profitable than struggling to fiddle with minerals!

Seeing that there was hope for the 'big business', Qiaojia suddenly became more fond of Tahnoni.

Glancing at Said next to him, Qiao Jia shrugged his shoulders and said, "We don't have enough time today. Tomorrow we will take Prince Tahnoni for a walk on the grassland.

We’re already here, it would be a pity not to hunt! "

As he spoke, Qiao Jia glanced at Harmandan, who was a little depressed next to him, and said with a smile: "Prince Harmandan, if you are interested, come with me. I heard that your marksmanship is good, and I happen to know a little bit about it. Let's have some fun together." .

At that time, the lottery will be set, and the winner will donate all the money to fund the education system in Central Africa. I will be responsible for treating everyone to a Chinese-style Afika barbecue. "

When Harmandan heard this, his eyes lit up and he said, "How about 500,000?

I brought some good horses over. Tomorrow we will experience the fun of riding and hunting. The loser will donate 500,000 to schools in Central Africa. "

When Tahnoni heard this, he spread his hands helplessly and said: "I didn't bring a shotgun, and I didn't have time to transport my horse. How about I pay for it..."

Harmandan was very depressed just now. He felt that he was outshone by Prince Tahnoni in terms of wisdom and vision.

Perhaps because of his athlete genes, Harmandan is a bit competitive in certain things.

Facing Tahenoni’s refusal, Harmandan said with a smile: “I brought 9 good horses, 3 of which were championship horses, and my sister Sarah won the equestrian championship riding one of them.

Of course, it is not appropriate to ride a championship horse for hunting, but we can choose other horses. I guarantee they are all good horses, and this is only fair..."

Harmandan glanced at Qiao Jia and said with a smile: "My brother, you don't have to worry about the shotgun. Jackal is a very good gunsmith.

He helped Said modify a shotgun, and the performance of the gun was astonishing.

When I came here this time, I also wanted to order a new shotgun from him.

If you're worried about unfairness, our guns are available in the same style as the Jackal. "

Tahnoni is very confident in facing Harmandan in matters such as eating, drinking and having fun!

He looked at Qiao Jia in surprise and said, "Are you still a gunsmith?"

Qiao Jia has never been modest in this regard. He shrugged his shoulders and said with a smile: "You should add 'best', I am the best gunsmith in the world!"

Tahnoni felt Qiao Jia's absolute confidence, and he said happily: "Then let's have fun, but I want to test the gun first..."

As he spoke, Tahnoni winked at Qiaojia and said with a smile: "Hamandan didn't tell you that I am the champion of the UAE UFO competition and the champion of the 50-meter three-position rifle..."

As long as the gun is good enough, I can definitely win! "

Upon hearing this, Qiao Jia shook his head in disbelief and said, "Man, shotguns are different from those small-caliber rifles.

I ride a lot, but when it comes to shooting, you know..."

Qiao Jia knows how to arouse everyone's desire for competition. Money is really nothing to these core princes, not to mention that it is used for good deeds in the end...

‘The desire to compete’ makes the game more fun!

Qiao Jia has learned a lesson abroad over the years. When competing with foreigners, no matter which country you are competing against, you should not give in unless you are not going to end up on the field.

If you win, they will probably be a little depressed, but they will respect you.

If you let go and lose, you will feel unhappy if you are not noticed. If you are noticed, you will feel even worse if you are looked down upon!

Prince Karl, who had been silent all the time, suddenly raised his hand and said: "Can I participate?

I don’t have that much money, but I can spend 50,000 euros, and it doesn’t need to be included in your rankings..."

Why did Qiaojia see Tahnoni's expression a little strange? He smiled and patted Karl on the shoulder and said: "Our Prince Karl has a 'Star of Finland' Sako TRG made by the legendary gunsmith..."

50,000 euros is enough. Anyway, in the end, I lose it and donate it to the school..."

Said nodded decisively and agreed: "That's right, more people are more interesting..."

Sayed said, looking at Karl, he said: "Is that fat guy Eric coming?

He has made a lot of money recently, and he should be allowed to spend some money to sponsor the school in the Jackal's territory. "

Karl shrugged his shoulders and said: "How could he not miss such a lively event? That guy has been in Ndele Town, helping a group of women find shelter.

He will arrive in the evening..."

Said obviously still had vivid memories of Eric’s despicable fat man. He gritted his teeth and said: “Call him, I will let him know something about his power tomorrow!

I bet that guy can't even get on a horse..."

When Carl heard this, he gave a thumbs up and said with a smile: "Then remember to bring a camera. Fun things must be recorded. It will be interesting to play them again and again in the future."

As soon as Qiao Jia heard the conversation between the two, he silently stepped away a few meters away...

He's not very good at riding a horse either!

I found Harmandan and decided on tomorrow’s activities. In the morning, I went to the back mountain to test the guns. By the way, everyone could compete in flying saucer shooting to warm up.

After lunch, everyone drove to the grassland to camp like last time.

This way you can experience hunting at night and during the day!

They are all very interesting games. You can also go camping with your girlfriend and family. What a great opportunity?

After finalizing the travel items, Qiao Jia threw away the group of princes who were already familiar with him, found a quiet place by himself, and called his brother Qiao Liang...

My brother is very busy in China. Jialiang trade and unmanned airships have taken up all his energy. His ‘farming dream’ has never had a chance to be realized...

Qiao Jia doesn’t feel guilty at all about this!

As a child who grew up in a rural area, he didn’t understand what was good about farming?

After the call was connected, Qiao Jia listened to Qiao Liang's tired voice on the other side. He smiled and said, "What? There are so many things going on in the country?"

Qiao Jia's voice was a little hoarse and said: "Brother, I just came back from the United States. The company in Florida has been completed, but there has been a terrorist attack there recently, and everything has come to a standstill."

When Qiao Jia heard this, he was surprised and said: "Were you in Miami when the terrorist attack occurred?"

Qiao Liang said depressedly: "And it's just a few streets away from the incident...

To be honest, if the mayor of Miami hadn’t sent a team of police to protect me, I would have bought a plane ticket and returned home that day. "

After hearing this, Qiao Jia shook his head and said with a smile: "I was negligent, you should find some reliable bodyguards for yourself.

Remember to call me first when you go abroad in the future, and I will arrange for bodyguards with gun licenses to wait for you where you want to go. "

After hearing this, Qiao Liang said with a smile: "Don't worry, brother, sister-in-law Monica has already made arrangements, and they are all transferred from your branch.

There is a Russian girl who is very good at wrestling. Now Tong Tong is pestering her to learn wrestling every day. She is very energetic! "

Qiao Jia nodded with confidence and said: "Let me tell you something, I have made an agreement with the people from Cubic Company. You can choose a few people to study with them.

Their data link technology is very advanced. Let's see if you can integrate it and come up with an optimized unmanned airship solution.

I can't really place drones and airships near Central Africa, the ground station still has to keep up. "

"real!

Brother, are you sure it's Cube Company?

Don't they do flight simulations? Damn, they are giants in data link technology..."

When Qiao Jia heard Qiao Liang's excited tone, he shook his head and said, "It seems that technology is more attractive to you.

After a few years, at most 5 years, the transaction volume of Jialiang Trade will shrink. At that time, you will be relaxed and you can do whatever you want! "

Qiao Jia said, without waiting for Qiao Liang to speak, he continued: "Xiao Liang, is the shopping list that someone gave you last time still there?

Please help me ask about CSSC’s agency qualifications..."

Qiao Liang didn't react for a moment. After checking the information, he said curiously: "Brother, what do you want from China Shipbuilding Industry Corporation's agent qualification?"

Qiao Jia laughed and said, "Let's open a leather bag company. I'll see if I can sell a few 056s. That's a hugely profitable business..."

"056?"

Qiao Liang was stunned for a moment, and then began to gasp and shout: "Holy shit, 056!"
