From arms dealer to king of war

When Qiao Jia found Howard, the guy was crying on the bed holding his broken leg.

It was very ugly for an old man who was almost fifty years old to cry, but Qiao Jia didn't sympathize with him at all.

Although this guy was not the mastermind of the ambush, he was one of the executors. This guy cooperated with Harlot to trick Monica into her manor, and in fact set up a trap for Qiao Jia.

This guy is a typical profit animal. He feels that he has the absolute upper hand. Even if Boss Qiao breaks through the ambush, he will bow before the big contract and the power behind it.

It's a pity that he was wrong, so wrong!

This kind of person deals with money all day long, exchanges almost everything through purchasing power, and enjoys the happiness of doing whatever they want.

The natural inertia of thinking in human nature made him forget that there is such insignificant violence in this world!

So he lost and now he is crying miserably!

The room where Howard was held was a soldier's dormitory, a four-person room with two bunk beds and a small desk.

After Qiao Jia walked in, under Howard's expectant eyes, he pulled up a chair and sat down, then looked at the pale man with a smile, and said with a smile: "Man, I'm here..."

Howard sat up from the bed with difficulty and said in a crying tone: "Sir, take me to the hospital, I think my legs are about to die.

Please, take me to the hospital..."

As Howard looked at Qiao Jia who seemed unmoved, he took out his mobile phone and said: "Sir, I contacted my boss and they are willing to offer a contract worth US$250 million.

This includes US$150 million in military aid, and another US$100 million to hunt down an Isis leader and send logistical supplies to the Kurds in Syria.

Sir, this is the best offer my boss can offer...

Please, let me go to the hospital, my legs can't wait any longer! "

Qiao Jia touched his chin and looked at Howard who was crying. After thinking for a while, he said, "I need to see the detailed contract content, and then you can go to the hospital."

When Howard heard this, he said excitedly: "Give me a computer, and I'll have someone send the contract over right away..."

Qiao Jia glanced at Thompson, then said with a smile: "Give him a computer, but why do I think there is something else in it?"

Thompson handed Howard a 'clean' tablet, then pointed out the window and said with a smile: "Those people want us out of the United States.

I talked to Mr. Howard and the original contract amount should not have been that much, and it should not have included the option of hunting down Isis leaders.

Boss, I think you should be more cautious. The profit level of this contract is very low, and the profit may not be as generous as we think. "

Qiao Jia recognized what Thompson said...

It is impossible to expect those people to really spend a lot of money to bribe you, because both parties themselves are opponents.

It's just that the old lady Lahiri didn't understand P·B's character and made a bad move. As a result, they had to use some real money to 'coax' Boss Qiao away so that they could concentrate on facing the general election.

This contract is actually ‘compensation’ for Eric’s assassination!

How much Eric's life is worth, and how much they estimate the damage P·B can cause, will only be known after the contract is sent.

Howard acted very efficiently for the sake of his legs...

In less than ten minutes, a very complex military contract was sent.

Qiao Jia did not continue to embarrass Howard at this time. This guy was completely frightened. He was somewhat famous on Wall Street. It would be better to keep him than to kill him. This way, Monica would be less likely to meet idiots when she hangs out in New York. .

Looking at Howard with an expectant look on his face, Qiao Jia pulled out his pistol and shot him in the knee...

There was a "bang" gunshot, and Howard was stunned for a moment, then he covered his knees and let out an extremely painful cry...

"You said you would let me go..."

Qiao Jia nodded and said, "Are you dead?

Do you think that when you used that method on me, just breaking your leg can make up for it? "

As he spoke, Qiao Jia stabbed Howard in the mouth with a gun, then leaned in front of him and looked into his frightened eyes, and said with a sneer: "Brother, you are somewhat famous on Wall Street, and maybe you have some money, but we all know you." Just a little guy.

This time I will teach you a lesson, do you know what to do in the future? "

Howard, who kept humming, nodded painfully, then shook his head, and then looked at Qiao Jia with begging eyes...

Qiao Jia nodded slightly and said: "My requirements are not high, I hope you can maintain respect for P·B in the future.

I hope that when you see Monica in the future, you will respect her...

Once I know that you are slacking off, I will go to your house to find you and smash your other knee.

do you understand? "

Howard cried and nodded vigorously while covering his knees...

Facing Howard like this, Qiao Jia nodded with satisfaction...

Arrangements were made to take Howard to the front of the farm and to the hospital together with the beaten black men.

Then Joga went to Thompson's office, where lawyer Vagli was already waiting with a team and began to review the printed military contract.

The content of the contract is very detailed, and it details the quantity and unit price of the military aid provided.

The actual calculation of US$150 million in military aid was much less than Qiao Jia imagined.

The 155mm caliber howitzer is not even truck-mounted, but they actually price it at US$2 million.

155mm guided artillery shells, 150,000 rounds.

Bradley infantry fighting vehicle, 5 million each.

Black Hawk helicopter, 50 million each.

There are two Black Hawks at the bottom, and the remaining 50 million military aid is not a small amount in terms of money, but the actual things are too little.

And these things are required to be used only for the defense of the 'safe zone'.

This is the traditional routine of the United States. They can use their military hegemony and political influence to exploit some small countries and regions with high-priced arms.

I won’t name you specifically, but any small country that purchases arms at very high premiums will generally receive some political support, such as a member of the Congress meeting you or supporting you in front of the media.

Specifically, if you ask them to do their best for you, you are simply overthinking it!

This is business, and it is a business that relies on strong American politics and is more profitable than robbery.

Of course, Qiao Jia doesn’t care about this!

In the end, Qiao Jia didn't care at all how those people would publicize it and how they would package the significance of this batch of military aid through the media to offset the cost of this 'strange' thing and the doubts from the outside world.

No matter how you say it, it's all free stuff, and he can really use it for himself. He doesn't need to work hard to sell it. Even if it is on sale, even if the Black Hawk is second-hand, the total value of 50 million is still there.

There is a joke in the United States that when one hundred dollars goes into the Department of Defense, the "0" behind the $100 is scratched off when it comes out. This shows that people are a little accustomed to the "tradition" of the US military.

This military aid was purely free profit, and Qiao Jia had nothing to be dissatisfied with.

Compared with the so-called "$200 million Afghan Khan contract" that Howard first mentioned, these "net profits" are already more than the Afghan Khan contract.

The core key here is ‘cost’!

A 200 million contract is sent to you, and then you will find that it contains detailed contract contents. You must complete all the stipulated contents before you can get the subsequent money.

P·B only has so many people. It doesn’t use cheap hackers from China and Africa. It can only choose to recruit people or subcontract. The final net profit is very limited.

Because Boss Qiao has no way out in Afghanistan and no energy to run the business, he cannot develop derivative income.

How great now!

Come up and get a batch of aid first. Although some people eat more than Boss Qiao, so what?

Boss Qiao is not a simple businessman, he is a military contractor. He himself needs weapons, and the value of those weapons will be magnified in his hands.

And Qiao Jia saw a lot from this batch of military aid...

‘Those people’ have their roots in Congress, not the Pentagon.

Because the military aid they provided all came from the U.S. Army, which meant that this group of people's direct influence on the war situation in Iraq was limited.

The so-called behind-the-scenes manipulation is just exerting influence. They cannot modify the U.S. government's expectations for Iraq, which is to end the war against Isis there and allow the energy group to operate smoothly.

From this perspective, the energy group actually has the upper hand on the Iraq issue at least.

And Qiao Jia happens to be standing next to Steven, the spokesperson of the energy group, which determines that his status in Iraq will never be shaken in the short term.

This is a huge plus!

If these so-called military aids are still sincere, then the remaining contracts are a bit unsatisfactory.

The contract to hunt down the leader of Isis is worth 30 million. The CIA provides intelligence clues and P·B is responsible for the operation.

This business is worth it and the profits are high!

But the remaining 70 million so-called logistics business will not work. The contract stipulates in detail the specifications and quantities of arms replenishment, as well as a large number of daily medical supplies.

If Boss Qiao hadn't held the 'Humanitarian Channel' in his hands and had switched to another company, even a giant like Titan Group, and a 70 million business could have a 20% profit, they would have burned incense and worshiped Buddha.

Lawyer Vagli took his accountant and legal assistant to conduct detailed calculations for an afternoon, and finally came to a conclusion...

Those people paid a so-called 250 million for Lahiri's reckless actions, but the actual amount was less than 100 million.

This is still P·B executing the contract. If it were another company, the net profit would not even reach 50 million.

Qiaojia took the results obtained by Vargli and the others, looked at them again and again, and finally looked at Thompson and said: "I don't see how they can let me leave the United States with this contract..."

Just when Qiao Jia questioned, Baiya knocked on the door and entered the room...
