From Arms Dealer To King of War - Chapter 479
Chapter 479 Good man Jackal!
Chris can be regarded as one of the people who watched Choga develop all the way in Central Africa…
Boss Joe’s business plan sounds absurd and uninhibited, but Chris subconsciously feels that it seems, probably, may really succeed.
Because the most critical role played by Boss Joe is actually bonding, bonding forces in Iraq, and pulling everyone to a table for dinner.
The start is very important. If you enter with an old American military contract, you can enjoy a lot of preferential treatment.
And once those people accept the existence of P·B, this preferential treatment will continue after the war is over.
Chris probably understood what Choga wanted…
What he wants to fight for is a role similar to ‘arbitrator’ and ‘leader’!
The proportion he wants is not much, and the proportion he takes away will shrink with the expansion of the industry.
When he brought the government army and militia to the table, P·B became the key weight.
He can maintain the situation, but he can also turn the tables!
He is not trying to be the most powerful person at the ‘dinner table’, but to be the most influential person.
At this time, Chris remembered a word that Boss Joe always said, “the law of influence”!
He thought of the money he invested in the ‘Pirate Fund’, which doubled in just a few months.
Boss Qiao’s industry in Central Africa is still in a state of subsidized investment, but he earned the money back from other places!
This is still a place like Afika without oil and water!
Imagine if this ‘influence’ could be extended to Iraq…
Chris touched the goose bumps on his arms, rubbed his face vigorously to calm himself down, and then said: “The last question, contracting an oil field is not an easy task, and the international crude oil market is not as good as outsiders imagined. Do.
If you transplant the Central African model to Iraq, the funds we need to invest in the early stage are too horrible.
Is this really safe? ”
Qiaojia heard this, smiled and said, “Who said I have to do it myself?
I just met a senior official of the Huaguo Petroleum and Natural Gas Group. If we can contract the oil field, it must be the one with complete facilities and only need repairs to start construction.
The cost of mining Iraqi crude oil per barrel is about 15 US dollars, and I subcontract 20 US dollars to the oil company in Huaguo.
Believe it or not, once I succeed, I can sell the crude oil produced in the next year at the current price in one go!
I can’t spend as much money in Iraq as I do in Central Africa. Of course, if I earn enough at once! ”
Chris stared at Choga as if he was looking at God, and said, “Jackal, tell me the truth, are you from the Chinese government?”
Boss Qiao waved his hand grandly and said, “No, let’s change the subject!
Just tell me if you have the ability to lead this project? ”
Chris heard this, sat down excitedly, took out a pen and a calculator, and recorded while calculating…
“The Pentagon offered Iraq a military contract worth 300 million U.S. dollars. Even if we only get a share of 20 million U.S. dollars, we can get admission tickets.
According to the usual practice, we can get a 50% advance payment in advance. With that 10 million, we will have the logistics start-up capital.
As long as those Iraqis are used to our material logistics, I am sure to talk to the government army and militia, because their demand for materials is endless.
As long as the oil well contract is established, then you just need to negotiate with the Huaguo people, and we can collect money when they start work.
Shit, you hired a bunch of cooks and got control of an oil field…”
As he spoke, Chris slapped himself lightly, and said in disbelief: “This is impossible, there is no such business!”
Joga glanced at Chris with disgust, and said, “Where is there such a cost calculation?
Is there no cost to my American military contract qualification?
If you want to ensure the smooth entry of materials into Iraq, it is impossible to have NATO qualifications!
With this qualification, my overall material cost is at least 20% lower than others.
To fully guarantee the diet of 40,000 people, a well-defended military base is a must.
To build a military base like that and ensure its safety, even with the assistance of the government army, it would cost at least 20 million U.S. dollars for people and equipment, and my requirements would be a little higher, perhaps 40 million U.S. dollars.
Such a unit cost, once the Mosul battle ends within 2 months, it will definitely lose money. This is a risk.
And you, an elite like you, can’t go to Iraq without cost. How much do you think you need? ”
“20 million, oh no…”
Chris responded subconsciously, and then quickly waved his hand and said: “No, no, jackal, I don’t want money, I want technology to invest in shares, 10%, no, 8% of the income will do.”
Qiaojia heard this, and said with a smile: “You have to think clearly, our final income is actually 50% of the contracted oilfield income. If the subcontracting fee is deducted, this money may be less than 30%.
And once the last step is not achieved, all previous investments will be in vain. ”
When Chris heard this, he waved his hands vigorously and said, “No, Jackal, I figured it out, you are the one who knows how to do business.
In fact, as long as we pinch the land material channel from the Persian Gulf in the south to Mosul in the north, we have already won because of our lower cost than others!
Pinching the material channel actually has the kind of influence you need, right?
Worst case scenario is less money, am I right? ”
As he spoke, Chris hammered his palm hard, and said excitedly: “No wonder you must get the qualifications from the United States. I thought you wanted to accept contract contracts to make money at first, but I didn’t expect you to want this kind of business.
American mercenaries in Iraq are equivalent to having diplomatic immunity, shit, why didn’t I think of it…”
Qiaojia stood up with a smile and patted Chris on the shoulder, and said with a smile: “Little brother, take a long-term view, don’t always try to become a fat man in one go.
The road is tortuous, but those who can walk can always meet different people and see different scenery on the road.
Unite all those who can unite, we can go higher and farther together!
Money is very important, but money is not as important as you think!
Make yourself a key person, and you will find that even if you don’t pursue money, money will come to you! ”
While talking, Choga looked at Chris who was in deep thought, and he smiled and said, “Dude, you want to marry Jamie, but do you think Jamie really needs you to be a billionaire too?
What she needs is a partner!
Money and power are best companions!
It may not be easy for you to have the right to match Jamie’s wealth, but you can settle for the next best thing and pursue influence.
There is a very simple criterion for influence, that is, how many people you can influence and how many people you can benefit at the same time.
Those people take advantage of you, remember your name, and will respond to you at some point…
THIS IS IMPACT! ”
When Chris heard this, he said a little unconfidently: “Let me benefit the whole of Iraq, can I do it?”
Choga rolled his eyes and said, “Of course you can’t, but Princess Emina can!
With her, the material channel running through the north and south of Iraq is the real humanitarian channel, so that when we try to extend the channel to Syria, no one will point fingers!
The angel shines where she is needed, and any evil must make way for her! ”
When Chris heard this, he frowned and looked at Choga, and said, “What about you? Except for entering under the name of P·B, you will be invisible afterwards!
What do you do to maintain influence? ”
Qiaojia smiled and said: “My role?
I only had three pursuits when I went to Iraq, and that was fairness, fairness, and **** fairness! ”
As he said that, Choga looked at Chris with a ghostly expression on his face, and said with a smile: “I entered there with the antidote for war and the hope of peace.
They can disagree with me, but as long as they sign the contract, they have to fulfill their responsibilities.
My role is to ensure that things will not deviate from the direction, and at the same time ‘persuade’ everyone to implement the contract honestly.
After all, I am a mercenary, maybe I can’t solve the problem, but I can solve the person who caused the problem! ”
Chris looked at the high-spirited Choga, and suddenly said curiously: “Jackal, tell me the truth, is Princess Emina your mistress?
She just wants a humanitarian channel, but you give her a humanitarian highway, what attracts you to that girl? ”
Joga was stunned for a moment, then glanced at Chris with contempt, and said, “That girl only has a pair of A’s, she’s not my type!
Don’t you have any serious stuff in your head?
I just love watching Angel shine where I need her because I’m a ‘good guy jackal’…”
