From arms dealer to king of war

Qiao Jia returned to the mansion for a day and then returned to the base.

There are now a bunch of women and a sissy living there, and Boss Qiao really can't stay any longer.

Eric brought two female warriors from Damazin who were interested in going to the United States, introduced them to Monica, and then plunged into Princess Emina's enjoyment of the 'Humanitarian Channel' Can't come out.

Qiao Jia himself is an idealist, but as a result, a Nordic girl who is even more idealistic than him comes, which makes Qiao Jia feel that life in Sangha Town is a bit like a year.

As an excuse to send Chris away, Qiao Jia found someone to send Chris to Bangui the next day and asked him to leave by civil aviation. Then he returned to the base and found Lao Niu...

"What? Recruiting cooking soldiers?"

Facing Lao Niu's look of 'How can you dislike me', Qiao Jia, who was in the base canteen, spread his hands and said: "I just want to find a group of temporary workers, 200 people, 20,000 a month, estimated Just use it for 3 to 4 months.

When they work for a few months, they can return to their hometown with hundreds of thousands of yuan. Isn't this good? "

Lao Niu frowned and thought for a while, then said: "That doesn't mean you can't do it, but why do you need so many people?

Manipulating the food and drink of tens of thousands of people is not the same thing as manipulating the food and drink of thousands of people. The more people, the better.

Besides, I need 200 field cooks who can hold guns. Where can I find them for you?

Can other arms be used? In my hometown, the rural soldiers have a much harder time when they return home. They are all our own people. Who doesn’t know how to master the kitchen?

Although I have never been a cook, I can fool those foreigners with simple training. "

After hearing this, Qiao Jia shook his head and said: "I want professionals. Food and drink for 40 to 50 thousand people cannot be handled by professionals even if they are not professionals.

200 professional cooks, 200 helpers, and 400 small workers are the best configuration I can think of.

Doing business depends on credibility. Once the contract is signed, the customer must have a satisfactory meal. "

Lao Niu looked at Qiao Jia like a fool and said, "Boss, if you don't understand this business, don't come up with blind ideas.

The field canteen is full of menial work, and one person like me, with more than a dozen people, kept our base busy.

Do you believe that even if the people in the base are turned over, I still can cook you properly with so many people?

200 more? 20 is enough!

I asked Tony to recruit 200 little black men and train them, so that they can all work together when the time comes.

Supplying supplies, recruiting people locally for washing, peeling, etc. There are a total of five to six hundred people to ensure that you can complete your tasks properly. "

Qiao Jia really didn't understand this, but he had seen the canteen of the factory, and it was true that a master chef and a group of young apprentices could make food for thousands of people.

I thought that Lao Niu would not joke about this kind of thing, so he nodded and said: "Instead of 20, can you find a way to contact me and get 40 for me.

You must be a master. I don't want to be better than you. I just worked in the military cooking class and can cook beef and mutton! "

When Lao Niu heard this, he said proudly: "That's right. If you don't let me go to war, you have to listen to me about cooking.

I specified that I couldn't get 40 of them, but I thought it would be possible to find 20 from my old comrades.

But I had agreed in advance that there were basically no young people, they were all old guys in their 50s.

The treatment of soldiers now is different from that of our time. In the army, the salary was high and there was no room to spend money. After working for a few terms, you can still have money when you go home. Your life is so smooth that you probably won't want to go out to wade in troubled waters.

But the generation of my old squad leader is not good enough. If I contact them, I can probably get about ten people.

If you feel that it is not enough, you can only look for it in the market yourself. "

When Qiao Jia heard this, he said a little disappointed: "More than 50 years old? It's a bit bad to be struggling at this age, isn't it? Besides, can they still move in pain?"

When Lao Niu heard this, he said a little unhappy: "Look at what you said, if you talk about other things, I can't guarantee it, talk about hardship, haha...

They are all people with families, and their children are about to get married. Do you know how much a house costs in China now?

If we don't make more money while we can still be active, how can we expect those children to be burdened with debt when they get old? "

As he spoke, Lao Niu glanced at Qiao Jia and said: "My old squad leader was originally able to get into the fifth period, but he showed his style and gave up his spot to a comrade who was in need at home, and retired from the army and returned to his hometown.

Later, he contracted the canteen of a martial arts school, and his life was prosperous. However, his son failed to live up to expectations, and his family's foundation was ruined by messing around with P2P.

Now that the martial arts school has closed down, he is worried about his future.

Boss, if you can relax the conditions a little, my old squad leader can bring a few apprentices with him. "

Qiao Jia looked at Lao Niu with strange eyes and said with a smile: "Are you waiting for me here?

How old is your old squad leader? The place they are going to is Iraq, which is no joke. Can he do it? "

Lao Niu grinned and said: "My old squad leader was almost in the cooking class for five periods, do you think he can do it?

He has been among the top three in the military competition for three consecutive years. He is always first in our company in terms of physical fitness and shooting. Do you think he can do it?

Back then, hey, let’s not talk about those years...

He can definitely do it. His apprentices say they are apprentices, but in fact they are all brothers in our old army.

When I was discharged from the army and had no place to live, I went to join him. When I had some savings, I went back to my hometown to open a shop and take jobs.

Isn’t it true that there are still a few who are determined to get along with him but have failed..."

After hearing this, Qiao Jia pondered for a while and nodded, saying, "What you are saying sounds ridiculous, but I don't care. I just pay you for the work."

Qiao Jia paused and said, "Then you ask them to come early, and I will reimburse the air tickets.

Let Tony go to Sangha Town to recruit troops. This time it is best to get some little black guys who can speak Arabic, just so everyone can get used to it first.

I'm asking people to go to the mercenary market to have a look, but I'm a little worried because there are so few people..."

When Lao Niu saw that the boss looked confused, he stopped trying to persuade him. He waved his hand and said, "Leave this matter to me anyway. It's okay to hire a few temporary workers if you want. But if my old squad leader brings people over, It can’t be temporary labor treatment.”

Qiao Jia frowned and looked at Lao Niu and said, "Temporary workers get paid more. Wouldn't it be better to work for three to five months and bring home hundreds of thousands of RMB?"

Lao Niu shook his head after hearing this and said: "Boss, everyone knows how to choose between quick money in three to five months and stable money in three to five years.

You see, cooking soldiers are the most popular in P·B now. I am always tired from working alone, so it would be nice to have professionals to share the burden with me, don’t you think? "

Qiao Jia thought for a while, nodded and said: "It is true that those old Americans in Niger are difficult to serve. They called me to complain. The cooking soldiers should really be upgraded. They can't always serve the same four dishes and one soup. .

You are indeed too busy. Since you trust those people, come on...

The starting salary is 30,000 US dollars, and an additional 10,000 US dollars will be added after passing the physical fitness and tactical assessment. The salary will increase every year with seniority. "

As he spoke, Qiao Jia looked at Lao Niu's hesitant eyes and said with a smile: "There is also a wartime daily salary of 500, and we will never delay wages."

When Lao Niu heard this, he clapped his hands vigorously and said, "That's it. I'm going to call the old squad leader and ask if any other old brothers are willing to come over."

Qiao Jia saw the heroic talk of Lao Niu and let him go. In fact, no more than 20 people from this guy could actually come.

Sometimes China's cooking soldiers are worse than political commissars, especially in this age of advanced information. Washing people's brains is not as good as washing people's stomachs. Having a hot meal on the front line can boost morale more than anything else.

Qiaojia particularly likes logistics businesses like those at Niger's military bases. Having more experts to satisfy customers can easily generate word-of-mouth effects.

In the arms and ammunition supply business, when you enter this system, you will find that except for the difficulty of landing and delivering goods, the rest is just like shopping on Taobao.

Now there are several black assistants in Qiaojia to deal with this problem. The military base sends a demand list, then they call a NATO-compliant manufacturer to place an order, and finally the goods are shipped together to Afika.

Qiao Jia didn't have time to think about evil ways with the US military commander in Niger, but he would make a lot of money.

Compared with the arms business, having a P·B in food is a great advantage.

The annual cost for a U.S. military stationed abroad is about US$400,000. In the Niger contract, Choga can only receive a fixed fee of US$200,000 per person.

The other two hundred thousand is managed by the military itself, which includes salaries, subsidies, insurance, management costs...

There are only 100 people at the Niger military base, which means Choga can get a fixed fee of US$20 million.

And with this money, you have to take care of the food, drink and sleep of a group of people, and you also have to be responsible for the security of the base. You heard it right, the US military base uses mercenaries for security.

When Qiaojia first got the demand list for the Niger base, he almost fainted from anger.

Water must be imported from the United States. On average, each person needs 50 liters of American purified water per day, and then also needs a series of named brand supplies, such as cigarettes, chewing gum, soda, chocolate, energy bars, military rations, condoms...

Qiao Jia just asked someone to make a simple estimate. If he really followed their requirements, he would really only be able to earn a hard-earned salary.

In the end, Sanderson hinted at Qiao Jia, and then Boss Qiao reacted and asked Chris to find someone to inquire. Then he gave 100,000 yuan to someone in the American Army and 50,000 yuan to the boss of the Niger base. A 'fictitious transaction path' was created, and only then did the company have 'autonomous management rights'.

Then he discovered that American soldiers were far less valuable than outsiders imagined, and P.B. cooking soldiers allowed them to eat well according to the standard of 10 yuan per person per day.

Vegetables, fruits, beef and mutton are sold half by the Niger military and half given away. Purified water is bought from a water plant in Cameroon, cigarettes are bought from Zimbabwe, and other miscellaneous items are bought from Egypt. The cost has dropped by more than half.

And the soldiers were very happy because it was not a prescribed brand. In order to save everyone from complaining, although the quality dropped, the quantity increased, and even drinks were smuggled in.

Not to mention anything else, Zimbabwe is the only gold leaf producer in the world. The tobacco there is the best in the world, and the cigarettes produced there are much better than those in Europe and the United States!

At the end of the day, those American soldiers were so well made, plus the cost of 50 men on guard, the average cost per person per day was less than 300 yuan.

They would definitely be extremely satisfied with less than 10 million for the whole year, and after Qiao Jia reported taxes through fictitious transactions in the United States, the real money that fell into his pocket was about 7 million US dollars.

This does not count the ammunition supply business, that stuff is the source of money, but Qiao Jia is not free for the time being, and he has to wait for 'Tailor' Waters to become completely frustrated before he can go there to 'convince' them. Sir, go and do some tasks to help Niger suppress bandits and 'expend' some ammunition.

This is the industrial power of the military-industrial complex. The annual military expenditures of the United States and the United States are too terrifying, and someone must help them consume it.

Qiao Jia is now barely considered a marginalized person, so he can naturally enjoy some benefits.

And now that the French guys are coming over, Qiao Jia is confident that he can scrape more oil and water from them.

'Money' is not the most important thing. The French are definitely not as rich as the Americans, but those outside the law can be used.

For example, in the next Operation Congo, Boss Joe will be able to bring these lawless people to the platform because they claim to be the protectors of the princess...

These are all ‘values’! !

As long as you are willing to use your brain, you can definitely squeeze out enough oil and water if you squeeze it hard.

And being able to win praise from all customers is P·B's trump card for winning similar contracts.

From this perspective, cooking soldiers are very important!
