From Arms Dealer To King of War - Chapter 521
Chapter 521 is all old foxes
The communication between Qiao Jia and Lu Jun was very smooth, because both sides are willing to consider each other.
Just like finding out that my ambassador came here uninvited to give me a platform this morning, there is a bit of tacit understanding in it.
The resource structure of the Congo determines that Choja cannot control the upstream of the resource, and then integrate resources to improve the downstream industry, as in Sangha Town.
The proposal proposed by Lu Jun actually increased Qiaojia’s bargaining chip, shortened the payment cycle of Qiao’s boss, increased the profit margin, and most importantly saved a lot of things.
The decision was made to confirm Lu Jun’s intention, and then he was invited to spend a few more days in Sangha Town. Choga turned around and took the two ambassadors and the President of Central Africa to visit P·B’s base together, and had a meal by the way .
Central African President François has completely let go. This guy managed to catch two big heads. Of course, he will be desperate for food.
If you don’t talk about a big country, Ambassador Hua didn’t resist the “pleading” and “reluctantly” agreed to provide an infrastructure loan of 80 million US dollars, and accepted a piece of “manganese” mine as collateral.
The 80 million US dollars is actually equivalent to free payment, but the project funds are not passed through the hands of China and Africa at all, but directly into the account of China State Construction Corporation.
It has been said that it is an infrastructure loan, so it is natural to use it for infrastructure construction. Who else is more suitable in this business than China Construction?
And the “manganese mine” is actually equivalent to what the Central African government gave to China, because it is not far from Sangha Town, and it can be used as a supplement to the industrial chain of Sangha Town.
Francois finally understood it. All his efforts were trying to make Sangha Town bigger, and he couldn’t always expect Boss Joe to keep throwing money into it.
When Qiaojia saw this situation, he understood that the ambassador had actually come prepared. The 80 million should be used to fund the P·B platform, which is specially used to disgust the French.
Once the Frenchman proposes harsh conditions, the person in charge of negotiating in Sangha Town will be able to come up with a plan for investment from the Chinese…
“Daddy, you can’t go too far, or the Central African people will be sad.”
Thinking of this, Choga wanted to laugh out loud…
In order to beat himself, the Frenchman mobilized 300 extralegal soldiers from Niger and expanded the number of extralegal soldiers here to 500.
In the end, not only did he not scare Qiaojia, but he had to pay Qiaojia for eating and drinking.
500 French plus 500 blue hats, eating and drinking alone costs 300,000 euros a day. Because they encircled and suppressed the enemy in the jungle, P·B also charged an additional 20% of the delivery fee.
Coupled with the non-stop calls for helicopters and artillery support, P·B can earn 800,000 euros from these people at most in a day.
That is, the ‘ghost mercenary group’ is not strong enough. If they survive in the jungle for a year, Boss Joe will make a fortune doing logistics.
So many of them came here to promote force and win a dominant position for the negotiation. As a result, the Ambassador of Hua Guo first came up and spent 80 million to set the tone, ruining more than half of their efforts in an instant.
At this time, Qiaojia suddenly felt a little uncomfortable when he saw Ambassador Steven…
While leading several big shots to eat in the cafeteria, Qiaojia looked at Steven in a strange way and said, “Mr. Ambassador, as a representative of the United States, don’t tell me you have nothing to say when you see the poverty situation in Central Africa?”
Steven picked up a piece of fatty braised pork, frowned, tasted it, and said: “Well, this method tastes very good, but it’s a pity that there is no market for pork in the Middle East, otherwise it can be made into cans and passed through.”
Qiaojia saw that this guy quickly changed the topic, implying that there is still a lot of business to do in the Middle East, so don’t embarrass him on the issue of Central Africa. Qiaojia said with a smile: “Actually, beef and mutton from China and Africa are also good, especially buffalo meat. Although there is not much fat, the taste is quite good.
I understand as soon as you mention canned food. It is no problem for Mr. Ambassador to invest in a canned factory on behalf of the United States…”
Being inexplicably squeezed by Qiao Jia made Steven a little helpless. Thinking about how he had always put on a high profile before, it was a bit uncomfortable to see the smiling Chinese ambassador now.
But the old meme has a thick skin. In order to make himself appear to be more social with the soldiers eating around him, he rudely pulled a few mouthfuls of rice, then took a sip of the mixed juice, then praised, and said with a smile: “Jackal, I I came here alone, without the support of industrial capital, I can’t give you a blank check.
You know that my wife is a minority shareholder of ExxonMobil, and I still have some influence, so do you think China and Africa have…”
“have!”
Choga and Francois agreed in unison: “Yes, there are not only oil fields but also natural gas.”
Steven looked at Choga like a ghost, and said, “The current cost of oil extraction is about $45 a barrel. Do you think the oil and gas resources in Central Africa are worth investing in?”
Speaking of which, Steven turned his eyes to the ambassador of Huaguo, and then the elegant ambassador smiled shyly. After taking a sip of vegetable soup, he suddenly frowned and stood up and said apologetically, “I’ll go there Toilet…”
Seeing that the people from Huaguo called Afika and Jiyu all quit, Steven looked at Qiaojia, spread his hands and said, “Look, business is business…”
Qiaojia looked at Francois next to him, who seemed a little disappointed. He kicked him secretly, and then said to Steven: “Brother, we are friends. Of course, the oil and gas in Central Africa is not worth it if it is brought to the world.” I mentioned it, but don’t you think it can benefit the people of Central Africa after it is developed?
Central Africa does not even have its own oil refinery, and all gasoline is imported from abroad, so the cost of using vehicles is naturally higher.
This place is already poor. Without the support of kind people like you, when will we truly enter modernization?
America is the lighthouse of the world, and you, as the representative of the lighthouse, don’t you have the heart to watch this place in a state of ignorance? ”
Steven looked at Qiaojia like a ghost, and then found the sly look in Qiao’s eyes, and he suddenly realized something…
“Should I ask my wife to arrange a study tour to make a detailed assessment of the oil and gas resources in Central Africa?”
Qiaojia reached out and nodded to Steven, and said with a smile: “Francois will organize a media meeting tomorrow, I think you’d better express your intention in this regard.”
Steven fully understands at this moment, his task is to make a show of booing and push up the price of oil and gas resources in Central Africa.
It is unlikely that the French business group will intervene in the core projects of Sangha Town. If they want to increase their influence, they can only spend their time in infrastructure or basic projects.
Boss Joe probably wants to sell the energy project to France…
Look, Daddy Afika took the oil field with his mouth open, how proud is that?
In the future, the oil and gas industry in Central Africa will be controlled by France. Isn’t this influence leveraged?
However, Steven, who is very familiar with the energy industry, knows that oil and gas in Central Africa are losing money. Because the reserves are not high, it is not worthwhile to repair pipelines, let alone build an oil refinery…
Natural gas is profitable, but it needs to be connected to Sangha Town, and then beg grandpa and grandma to let those local turtles change into natural gas blast furnaces, or directly build a natural gas power plant to sell electricity to make money.
As long as this **** is in the game, it is great luck to be able to make a profit within 20 years, and the lifespan of an ordinary company is only a few years?
Something that no one is competing for is worthless, not even good enough to be a bargaining chip.
But once Steven wants to intervene in the energy industry in Central Africa in a “retaliatory” manner, France will have to follow up even if he pinches his nose.
Everyone knows that Steven suffered a lot of grievances in Libya, and now the high-level officials in the United States are pampering him. It is normal for him to do something stupid to disgust France.
The French still have nothing to do with him, because the energy direction of the United States has shifted. At this time, if you offend Steven, you are making a death feud.
Wanted to understand Boss Joe’s ‘trick’, Steven said with a smile: “Should I arrange some paparazzi, I can ‘meet’ the representative of the French Energy Group, and then express my anger and disdain to him.
My experience is indirectly related to them, so what I do is reasonable. ”
Qiaojia nodded solemnly, and then said with a smile: “I think you should also express your covetousness for the oil and gas resources in Central Africa. They are all underground oil and gas. You can’t discriminate against them just because they are in Central Africa. They are Definitely worth the money…
The French want to take them for the price of cabbage, which is disrespectful to them.
They can be a little cheaper than other places, but not too much cheaper, otherwise this does not fit the image of liberal and democratic development in France, right? ”
Steven nodded seriously and said: “France used to be the suzerain of Central Africa, they plundered countless resources from here, now it’s time for them to pay off their debts.
Don’t worry, I will never sit back and watch the ‘looting’ happen again on this land!
Even if I pay for it myself, I have to raise the price of oil and gas resources, haha…”
François looked at the two of them like ghosts. You said one sentence at a time and gave France the energy project in Central Africa. He thought for a long time and slapped his thigh. When he was about to praise Boss Joe for being tall, Boss Joe Standing up and pulling the Chinese ambassador back from the restroom…
Come here, of course go to the shooting range to have fun, if you want to fly a fighter jet, I will let someone take you to the sky for fun…
Ambassador’s secretary always observed carefully, which made Choga a little bit wronged for him.
They are all my own people, if you are embarrassed to say so, then I will show you openly, P·B has nothing to hide!
Just when everyone was having fun, intelligence officer Thompson approached Choga…
This guy talked with the two ambassadors and the president in a personable manner, exchanged phone numbers, then pulled Choga aside, and said: “Boss, the French handed over the confession of the ‘ghost’.
The mayor, Lian Nuoer, is trying to get the French to hand over those who surrendered, but the progress is not too great. ”
Joga nodded when he heard this, and said: “The important thing is just for revenge, and you can start to act when you have a confession.
How are your preparations going in North Kivu? ”
Thompson nodded with a smile, and said: “The special forces have been deployed, and we have found out the bases and residences of the two warlords who cooperated with Walker Mining…
But I know boss, what you want is a big scene, so I’m waiting for your order! ”
