From arms dealer to king of war

After hearing this, Richie Patton put away his smile and said: "A guy told me that if I want to cooperate with you, I have to be sincere.

Let me tell you, CACI received an invitation to cooperate a month ago, but after our evaluation, we would not get enough benefits even if it succeeded, so we declined.

Jackal, you made something wrong. No one in the United States wants to replace you, because your "unprofitable contract" will be a burden to anyone who gets it, and not everyone can get it from Huaguo Energy Company. Take advantage.

What they want to replace is Steven. As long as they can take the initiative, once the war in Iraq is prolonged, they can move more funds from Congress.

The people of Isis threaten NATO with dirty bombs, making the current situation in Iraq very delicate. Without NATO's intervention, Iraq will become a paradise for mercenaries.

800 million is too little. According to our assessment, once the war in Iraq is dragged on for more than four months, this fund will be expanded to between 1.5 and 2.5 billion.

We are now in a critical period of the general election. That black guy will use his last strength to bring Iraq to a happy ending.

Steven's current position is very critical. If he replaces him, he will be able to take control of the huge amount of funds, which will generate at least 500 million in net profits.

Jackal, CACI received a US$3.5 billion contract from the United States last year, but do you know what CACI’s net profit is for a year?

I'm telling you, $85 million.

This is the number calculated by our company last year. Our organization is very large, but the huge expenses are unimaginable by the outside world.

Now you know what Steven has in his hands, right? "

Qiao Jia was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and said, "Do you think that by killing Steven and taking control of the funds, you can force me to cooperate with you?"

Richie Patton shook his head and said: “It’s them, we at CACI were not involved.

And you forgot Panzer Group, they are the alternative to P.B.

The British Cabinet convened a meeting with people from energy companies to discuss the issue of British Energy's industry in Iraq, and some of them raised objections.

They want to take a ride, assist Halliburton and MPRI in promoting the war to resolve the internal war in Iraq, and then use similar terms to PB to negotiate the disposal of the oil fields on their own.

They don't have to cooperate with the Chinese. The Malaysian Energy Company can send people in at any time.

And they seem confident to use their own methods to solve the problem of Iraqi militias.

Now the American Energy Group is not particularly willing to cooperate with them, because once the British take over, their profits will drop.

Jackal, people in the United States are very satisfied with you at this stage, and the conflict is not actually with you. "

When Qiao Jia heard this, he whistled and said, "I understand this!

That Cameron guy doesn't look as good as he cracks up to be.

I didn’t expect that just because I was planning to bring down a few more people, I actually recruited a ‘replacement’ for myself. "

At this time, Qiao Jia finally understood the whole story. In fact, everyone's general direction was the same, but there were differences on the distribution of post-war benefits.

Halliburton and MPRI want to profit from the war, but Armor Group and the people behind them want to profit from the oil market, and at the same time do not want China to get too much share.

In fact, there is no conflict between us on the general direction of the situation in Iraq. It doesn't matter if you British people don't want to join.

However, the content of the contract given by Qiao Jia was too generous. If P·B succeeded, it would push up the operating costs of the British in disguise. Even making 2 yuan less per barrel of oil would be a huge sum of money.

The differences in attributes and functions between British Energy Company and Huaguo Energy Company determine that their styles are completely different.

A shit stirrer is a shit stirrer!

These guys don't want everyone to drive away Isis first. What they want to do is disrupt P·B's business first so that they can restart the Iraq project in a similar but more profitable way.

From this point of view, American companies are actually much simpler than British companies!

Because they have the background of the world's most powerful country, what they pursue in making money is simple, quick and huge profits.

This is the problem that Qiao Jia needs to face when the stage becomes bigger, because the ‘dining table’ he can organize is only so big, there will always be people who will be dissatisfied, and there will always be people who will try to initiate competition.

This is an unavoidable problem, and any company will go through this process when it reaches a certain stage.

Even giants like CACI are actually the same. They also face challenges from other companies.

Competition will naturally lead to rising costs, because you need better equipment and stronger personnel, and lobbying costs and operating costs will increase exponentially.

When companies are involved by big capital and begin to implement capital logic and pursue profit as the first priority, their operating model will naturally develop towards "eating alone".

Even if you don’t have enough to eat, it is normal to squeeze out the space of your competitors first and strive for a better competitive environment in the future.

When the pursuit of profit is the first priority, there is no such thing as "treating guests to dinner" like Boss Qiao.

As long as I get a project, even if I have to find someone to cooperate with me, I must be the leader, and I must get the majority of the profits.

This is an iron law of the capital market and runs counter to Boss Qiao’s ‘treat a guest to a meal’ logic.

This is also an important reason why so many elites from all walks of life do not understand Qiao Jia’s logic!

The inertia and brainwashing ability of capital are so strong that it is really difficult to break out of the framework of capital.

Boss Qiao was poor at the beginning and got into a money-losing iron mine. He had no choice but to drag many people along and find his own way.

After understanding the key to this, Qiao Jia knew that the blow from the giant would not end so easily.

Halliburton and MPRI are American companies, and they cannot bear the name of 'treason'.

But the Armored Group is different. They have a British background, and now they represent the interests of the British energy group.

Just kidding, Britain and Malaysia occupy a full 38% of Iraq's oil field mining rights, and any extra profit is an astronomical figure.

If Steven reveals the matter, will it affect them or not?

There are countless things going wrong within NATO, and what happened to Steven may not necessarily affect the Armored Group.

Qiao Jia looked at Richie Patton in front of him. He reached out and shook hands with the old man and said, "Thank you for the news you brought me. I really hope to see CACI in Iraq.

As a giant in the intelligence industry, CACI plays an irreplaceable role in our fight against Isis. "

This is the effect Richie Patton wants, and this is where the value of intelligence lies.

It sounds like just a few words of innocuous analysis, but the interests involved are very huge. If Qiao Jia doesn't understand the inside story, problems will easily arise with his impulsive acting style.

After shaking hands with Qiao Jia, Richie Barton said with a smile: "I still recommend that you accept MPRI's peace request. As long as you nod, I can get them to show some sincerity...

How about renting a Predator drone to you at a low price? "

Qiao Jia was stunned for a moment, then shook his head with a grin and said: "These people want to use the assistance provided by NATO as a bargaining chip for peace. How can this be done?

Let them send people. I heard that their board of directors is all generals. Send me a lieutenant general and three Predator drones to cooperate with us.

I have an existing air force base in Baghdad, so I let them station themselves there.

I asked Steven to provide them with a 20 million military contract. I will not let them lose money, but they will serve from now until the end of the Iraq War!

I heard that MPRI has a close relationship with the Pentagon, so it's no problem to come and get some cheap Hellfire. "

Richie Barton was stunned for a moment, then looked at Qiao Jia again...

20 million is a price that makes MPRI uncomfortable, and the war in Iraq is visibly lengthening.

Originally, the MPRI people wanted to rent the Predator to P·B at a low price, admitting their mistakes in disguise and ending these bad things. But now that Qiao Jia asked them to send people to join the war, MPRI had to invest money and manpower.

In the end, I might be able to make a little money, but for that little money, MPRI still needs to send a retired lieutenant general.

This lieutenant general is a hostage to ensure that MPRI has no problems, and he has to be manipulated by Qiao Jia.

Can they say no?

cannot!

Feeling uncomfortable?

Uncomfortable!

How does it compare to facing Steven's prosecution investigation?

That must be a better situation, at least you can make some money!

Who can you tell me about this?

Everyone at MPRI is struggling with whether or not to thank Boss Qiao afterwards.

After all, MPRI is still a giant, and a giant with huge influence in the Pentagon.

Faced with such an opponent, Qiao Jia made his tough attitude clear with an offer that made the opponent extremely uncomfortable, and made it impossible for MPRI people to break up. This is a great mediating ability.

This ability to set prices based on others' bottom line is very powerful, and the money spent now is not Qiao Jia's money at all.

As long as MPRI agrees, the mercenary coalition will have air support, and MPRI's low offer actually frees up more funds.

Richie Barton laughed and nodded, and said: "I will call my old friends, and I especially want to see their faces when they receive the call.

Jackal, you are an amazing young man and I believe you will be successful in Iraq. "

Qiao Jia shrugged his shoulders and said: "Of course, I will succeed. Now only the Armored Group and Haliburton are left. If I were in England or the United States, I might not be their opponent, but in Iraq...

To be honest, I never thought about making money from the oil fields in Iraq, but many people just don't believe it.

This time I want to get rid of the British people completely and let them see what my business experience is like?

There are times when they beg me! "

As he spoke, Qiao Jia looked at Richie Barton and said with a smile: “Now MPRI has surrendered, but Halliburton has not taken action.

How about it? Is CACI interested in joining us and tearing a piece of flesh from them? "

After hearing this, Richie Barton smiled and shook his head and said, "How could Haliburton not take action?"

As he spoke, Richie Barton looked at Eric, who was walking over not far away with a phone in his hand and a livid face. He smiled and said, "Look, Haliburton moves very quickly!"

Qiao Jia turned to look at Eric, and he sighed...

The only person who could make Eric look so ugly was his former boss.

To be able to bring down a big shot who is in the critical period of the campaign, Haliburton's connections are indeed far beyond Jorga's imagination.

Seeing Eric approaching him and wanting to talk, Qiao Jia waved his hand and said: "Go to Steven, he is the 'victim'!

As long as Steven agrees, I actually don't care, after all, those who die are theirs!

You are all veterans at this, and you will always get adequate compensation! "

As he spoke, Qiao Jia looked at the extremely experienced Richie Barton and said with a smile: "The above problem has been solved. In the end, who loses and who wins ultimately depends on the fist. Am I right?"

Richie Patton nodded and said: "For mercenaries, big fists are never wrong!"
