From arms dealer to king of war

When Qiao Liang first discussed his ideals with his brother, he self-righteously hinted that large-scale involvement in Central African agriculture could have a limited impact on local politics.

This is the bizarre idea that a college student had when he heard someone bragging about the power of some agricultural giants.

Qiao Liang even got the order wrong at the time. It was not that intervention in agriculture could influence politics, but that one had political influence first, and then had the opportunity to intervene in the agricultural market, expanding influence while ensuring not to lose money.

Now that he heard Mr. Jin's plan, Qiao Liang finally understood what 'strategic thinking' was.

This is no longer a simple business. Super state-owned enterprises like Norinco are fulfilling their responsibilities.

Prepare to dive into Congo, cultivate the market and find a way out for China's low-end manufacturing industry, and gain time and funds for industrial transformation.

They themselves will definitely lose money in a short period of time. In order for Congo's inland river terminals to be profitable, they need to achieve a very high freight volume. Within 10 years, those investments will be at a loss.

But from a higher and longer-term perspective, China as a whole does not lose money, and even produces greater benefits because of the increase in industrial vitality.

Qiao Liang thought about how he once followed the trend in the school cafeteria and criticized many so-called "free aid" in the news, as if they were using people's hard-earned money to please foreigners...

Thinking about it now, Qiao Liang suddenly felt a little blushing.

Qiao Liang is still a little immature. He hasn't realized that his attention has been diverted by President Jin's pie. Once he is convinced, he will become a natural lobbyist...

However, Mr. Xiao Qiao has been working in the mall for a while. He agrees with Mr. Jin’s plan in his heart, but he has not forgotten his brother’s affairs...

After nodding in agreement with Mr. Jin’s words, Qiao Liang glanced at the representative of ‘CSSC Defense’ and said, “My brother is with a few big clients now, and he is still waiting for my reply...

Let's put aside the Congo incident for a while. I have to figure out the 056 incident first. "

The man with glasses is Chen Xiaodong. After listening to Qiao Liang’s words, he said curiously: “I wonder who Mr. Da Qiao’s ‘big customer’ is?

Mr. Xiao may not know that warship trade is politically risky, especially for Mr. Qiao.

We certainly believe that he has the ability to bypass certain restrictions, but we need to know the customer information before we can find ways to cooperate with him in trading activities.

Before I came, Mr. Zhang of our CSSC had been telling me not to be greedy for money, and I must not let Mr. Da Qiao take unnecessary political risks.

I currently have two options in hand, but both require understanding of customer information before making accurate judgments. "

Qiao Liang was stunned for a moment. Hearing what Chen Xiaodong meant, it seemed as if a bad brother would be implicated.

Qiao Liang thought about it a little unconvincingly, and finally said: "My brother is on vacation with people from the United Arab Emirates.

He said that if he could act as an agent for 056’s foreign trade business, he would be able to let 056 participate in the Abu Dhabi Defense Exhibition next year.

It's quite risky to listen to what you are saying now. I don't know what my brother is thinking. You can tell me your plan first, and I can call and ask..."

When Chen Xiaodong heard "UAE", his eyes lit up...

This little brother who was 'money-minded' quickly took out two documents from his bag and handed them to Qiao Liang. Just when he was about to speak, the door was pushed open...

Tong Tong stuck his head there and said to Qiao Liang: "How are the discussions going with the bosses?

There is a Miss Yuan who wants to treat a few people to a meal. She is now in the tourism business.

Are any of you interested in finding out more about a hunting holiday in Afika? "

Of course Mr. Jin knew who this living treasure was. He glanced at Qiao Liang who was reading the document, stood up with a laugh, and said: "That's just right, I'm treating you!

Let's spare some time for Mr. Xiao Qiao, and let Mr. Xiao Qiao discuss it with Mr. Da Qiao. "

Chen Xiaodong, who was getting restless while talking about Mr. Jin, shook his head, took the lead to the door, looked at Tong Tong and said with a smile: "I don't know if Director Tong is free, I want to treat him to a meal..."

Upon hearing this, Tong Tong blinked and said, "Old Tong? He must be free, I'll call him right away.

It is Laotong’s responsibility to take care of emerging tourism companies in the jurisdiction! "

Mr. Jin was amused by this live treasure. He laughed and said, "Then I have to take care of it. It happens that our company has a business plan for Afika. If you guys can help us arrange the itinerary, that would be the best." Already..."

Tong Tong nodded seriously and said: "Don't worry, it will be absolutely fine to leave the travel to us.

At that time, I will personally lead the team and be responsible for ensuring that everyone has good food, drinks and fun at the resort in Ndele..."

Yuan Ya saw that Tong Tong started to take over business without even being seen in the company. She sighed, took a handful of this living treasure, and whispered: "Eat first, and talk while eating. Uncle Tong still needs to agree to open a company..."

When Tong Tong heard this, he said unhappily: "If I don't let me do business, how can I not let you do business?

I will work for you as the president, hum, sooner or later I will make everyone look at me with admiration..."

Qiao Liang didn't care about Tong Tong's career. He sent these guests out, asked his bodyguard Victor to go out and buy a few takeaways, deliver one to Yang's mother downstairs, and then served Chen Xiaodong's meal while eating. I took photos of the 'sales documents' and sent them to my brother.

About half an hour later, Qiao Jia made a video call to Qiao Liang...

………………

Qiao Jia never thought that his phone call would set off such a big wave in the country...

Originally, they just wanted to make some quick money by sailing a few ships, but instead of making a lot of money, they wanted to enter the Congo with a large amount of money.

This is really big business, you can make more money buying a boat in Congo than selling a car!

And the production of armed speedboats doesn’t require a lot of supporting weapons and equipment...

As long as this is more successful than business, China's arms can enter the Congo as a matter of course, and then spread along the river to the surrounding areas.

Qiao Jia can make the decision in this matter, because things like patrol boats will not cause any backlash from the outside world.

As for the sales of light weapons and what the Congolese army uses, boss Qiao has the final say now, because they have no money.

Most of Congo's limited defense budget goes to P.B. If they want to change their clothes, they need Boss Qiao to find money for them from the fields...

The plan proposed by Norinco is very consistent with Boss Qiao's character and development logic. Besides, someone has advanced funds to carry out development. How can such a good thing be extrapolated?

A business of this level takes a long time to plan and operate, and if the Congolese government has to be brought in to talk about it, no results will be seen in a year or two.

However, Boss Qiao is not in a hurry. As long as he does not need to pay for it himself and it is beneficial to the overall situation, he will be happy to participate in the escort.

There are some hidden benefits that Boss Qiao cannot enjoy, but Qiao Liang can!

The trade volume of Jialiang Trade will shrink sooner or later, and transformation is something that must be considered.

Spend more energy now to expand your influence, and you can avoid being dismissed in the future.

Compared with the grandeur of Norinco, ‘CSSC Defense’ is a bit more interesting...

They didn't seem to be doing business. The plans they came up with were all for the sake of Boss Qiao, as if they were afraid that he would step out of line and cause trouble...

In fact, why is Qiao Jia afraid of this?

A 1,300-ton frigate or even a coast guard ship is really nothing to make a fuss about.

As long as they can win this American election, Steven can become the Secretary of State of the United States.

Part of the say in foreign affairs was held by Steven, and P.B. used various methods to resell several small-tonnage frigates, so that no one would trouble him at all.

Why Qiao Jia decided to put the business in February next year is because he is waiting for the results of the general election in November this year.

If the old woman wins, then don’t mention anything, simply shrink the American business and hide in the sphere of influence of the French Daddy.

But if that catfish Depp wins, then nothing can be said!

Qiao Jia did not expect that people in China were more cautious than himself...

They proposed two options. One was to sell the boat through cooperation.

That is to say, Boss Qiao bought a hull himself, and then took all the internal weapon systems and electronic systems to the French shipyard for NATO-oriented transformation.

On the one hand, it is to use France to withstand pressure that may come from the United States, and on the other hand, it is because in the area of ​​​​U.S. arms radiation, domestically produced warships are not necessarily compatible with other people's systems.

Moreover, U.S. arms sales have always had many political conditions, and buyers may not be able to make up their minds to pay for them if they don't find a way around them.

The Shahs in the Middle East, including the United Arab Emirates, are in more trouble. They want to purchase F-35s to update their own air force. This kind of purchase can easily be blocked by the United States.

If they want to buy purely Chinese ships, they first have to ask the old Americans if they agree.

The people at CSSC think more and are more thoughtful than Qiao Jiadu. 056 foreign trade is a matter of time, and they also want to achieve external promotion as safely as possible.

But the premise is that Boss Qiao, a big treasure with dual nationality of Monaco and Greece, can't have any problems!

Transferring part of the interests to the French shipbuilding industry will help simplify things.

This is one of the plans, and the other one is much more complicated, and it involves not a simple 056, but a 055 large-scale drive with a cost of more than 1 billion US dollars...

A bold person like Qiao Jia was overwhelmed by the whimsical plan of the "China Shipbuilding Defense" people.

They didn't know that Boss Qiao's customers were from the United Arab Emirates, but they also had target customers and had already gone through several rounds of contact.

This group of people wanted to save the country in a roundabout way, and used an incredible method to sell a 055 to drive out...

They have been unable to find a suitable 'middleman' in the past, but now Qiao Jia himself has jumped out and given them a chance!

That Chen Xiaodong was not just a simple CSSC defense salesman, but a guy with a special identity.

According to the second plan, the big drive transaction will not only take shape, but also allow P.B. to gain huge benefits from it. Not only will it not offend the United States, but it will even make the United States appreciate P.B.'s favor...

After reading the plan, Qiao Jia felt that this world was so amazing...
