From arms dealer to king of war

Chris is also one of the people who watched Joga develop in Central Africa...

Boss Qiao's business plan sounded absurd and unruly, but Chris subconsciously felt that it seemed, probably, might actually work.

Because the most critical role played by Boss Qiao is actually to bind together the forces in Iraq and bring everyone to the same table to eat.

The first step is very important. If you enter with a military contract from the United States, 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 Qiao Jia wanted...

What he wants to strive for is a role similar to 'arbitrator' and 'leader'!

The proportion he wants is not much, and the proportion he takes will shrink as the industry expands.

When he brought government troops and militias to the table, P·B became a key weight.

He can maintain the situation, but he can also turn the table over!

He wasn’t trying to be the most powerful person at the ‘table’, he was trying to be the most influential person.

At this time, Chris remembered a word that Boss Qiao always said, "the law of influence"!

He thought about how the money he invested in the 'Pirate Fund' had doubled in just a few months.

Boss Qiao’s industries in Central Africa are still being invested with money, but he has earned that money back from other places!

This is a place without oil and water like Afika!

Imagine if this ‘influence’ could be extended to Iraq…

Chris touched the goosebumps on his arms, rubbed his face vigorously to calm down, and then said: "Last question, contracting oil fields is not an easy task, and the international crude oil market is not as good as outsiders think. Do.

If you transplant the Central African model to Iraq, the amount of money we need to invest in the early stage will be terrifying.

Is this really safe? "

After hearing this, Qiao Jia smiled and said, "Who said I have to do it myself?

I happened to get to know a senior official of the Huaguo Oil and Gas Group. If we could contract an oil field, it would definitely be one with complete facilities and only need to be repaired to start construction.

The cost of extracting Iraqi crude oil per barrel is about US$15, and I subcontract it to a Chinese oil company for US$20.

Believe it or not, once I succeed, I can sell the crude oil produced in the next year at one time at the current price!

It is impossible for me to make such a small fortune in Iraq as it is in Central Africa, of course, if I can earn enough in one go! "

Chris stared at Qiao Jia like a god and said, "Jackal, tell me the truth, are you a member of the Chinese government?"

When Boss Qiao heard this, he waved his hands grandly and said, "No, let's change the topic!

Just tell me whether you have the ability to lead this project? "

After hearing this, Chris sat down excitedly and took out a pen and paper and a calculator, calculating and recording...

"The Pentagon has issued a US$300 million military contract for Iraq. Even if we only get a share of 20 million, we can get the ticket.

As usual, we can get 50% of the advance payment in advance. With that 10 million, we have the logistics start-up capital.

As long as those Iraqis get used to our material logistics, I will be confident to talk to government troops and militiamen, because their demand for materials is endless.

As long as the oil well contract is established and you negotiate with the Chinese, we can collect the money when they start construction.

Shit, you hire a bunch of cooks and you get control of an oil field..."

As he spoke, Chris slapped himself gently and said in disbelief: "This is impossible, there is no such business!"

Qiao Jia glanced at Chris with disgust and said, "Where can you calculate costs like this?

Is there no cost to my U.S. military contracting qualifications?

To ensure the smooth flow of supplies into Iraq, it is impossible without NATO qualifications!

With this qualification, my overall cost of materials is at least 20% lower than others.

To fully guarantee the food of 40,000 people, a well-defended military base is necessary.

To build a military base like that and ensure its security, even with the assistance of government troops, it would cost at least 20 million US dollars for people and equipment, and my requirement would be higher, maybe 40 million US dollars.

With such a unit cost, once the fighting in Mosul ends within two months, we will definitely lose money. This is a risk.

As for an elite like you, going to Iraq cannot be cost-free. How much do you think it will cost? "

"20 million, oh no..."

Chris responded subconsciously, then quickly waved his hand and said: "No, no, no, Jackal, I don't want money. I want technology to invest in it, 10%, no, 8% of the income will be fine."

After hearing this, Qiao Jia said funnyly: "You have to think clearly, our final income is actually 50% of the income from the contracted oil field. If the subcontracting fees are removed, this amount may be less than 30%.

And once the last step is not done, all previous investments will be in vain. "

Upon hearing this, Chris waved his hand 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 hold on to the land supply channel from the Persian Gulf in the south to Mosul in the north, and with our lower cost than others, we have already won!

Holding onto the material channel actually has the kind of influence you need, right?

The worst-case scenario is just making less money, am I right? "

As he spoke, Chris hammered his palm hard and said excitedly: "No wonder you must get the qualification from the United States. I thought at first you wanted to make money by accepting contract contracts, but I didn't expect you wanted this kind of business.

American mercenaries have diplomatic immunity in Iraq, shit, why didn’t I think of that..."

Qiao Jia stood up with a smile, patted Chris on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "Little brother, take a longer view, don't always want to become a fat man in one sitting.

The road is tortuous, but those who know how to walk can always meet different people and see different scenery on the road.

Unite all those who can unite, and together we can go higher and further!

Money is important, but money is not as important as you think!

Make yourself a key player and you will find that even if you don't pursue money, money will come to you! "

Qiao Jia looked at Chris, who was deep in thought, and said with a smile: "Man, you want to marry Jia Mi, but do you think Jia Mi really needs you to be a billionaire?

What she needs is a partner!

Money and power are the best companions!

It is probably not easy for you to have rights that match the wealth of Gami, but you can settle for the next best thing and pursue influence.

There is a very simple criterion for influence, which is how many people you can influence and how many people you benefit at the same time.

Those people take advantage of you, remember your name, and will respond to you at some point...

This is influence! "

When Chris heard this, he said a little unconfidently: "Ask me to benefit the entire Iraq. Can I do this?"

Qiao Jia rolled his eyes and said: "Of course you can't, but Princess Emina can!

With her here, the material channel that runs through the north and south of Iraq is a real humanitarian channel. Only when we try to extend the channel into Syria will no one 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 Qiao Jia and said, "What about you? Except for entering in the name of P·B, you will become invisible afterwards!

What do you do to maintain influence? "

Qiao Jia smiled and said: "My role?

I only had three pursuits when I went to Iraq, and that was fairness, fairness, and fucking fairness! "

As he spoke, Qiao Jia looked at Chris, who had a ghostly expression on his face, and said with a smile: "I entered there with the antidote to war and the hope of peace.

They don't have to agree 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 to 'persuad' everyone to implement the contract honestly.

After all, I am a mercenary. Maybe I can't solve the problem, but I can solve the people who created the problem! "

Chris looked at the high-spirited Qiao Jia, and he suddenly said curiously: "Jackal, tell me the truth, is Princess Emina your mistress?

She just wants a humanitarian highway, but you give her a humanitarian highway. What is it about that girl that attracts you? "

Qiao Jia was stunned for a moment, glanced at Chris with contempt, and said: "That girl only has a pair of Aces, she is not my cup of tea!

Don't you have anything serious in your mind?

I just like to see angels shine where they are needed, because I am a ‘good guy jackal’…”
