From arms dealer to king of war

Chogara fell in love with Prince Carl of Sweden and followed Said across the lawn, which was filled with people.

The gathering of princes and princesses is really no joke. Said, a prince who eats, drinks and has fun, went on an outing in a vast area. People kept coming up to say hello to him along the way...

This was the first time Qiao Jia knew that there are so many emirates in the United Arab Emirates, and each emirate has so many princes and princesses...

Sharjah, Umm Al Quwain, Ajman, Fujairah…

These emirates, whose names Qiaojia had never even heard of in the past, gave birth to a group of princes and princesses who seemed to be particularly wealthy.

This group of people's approach to raising funds to chase celebrities is very rich, but Qiao Jia appreciates this approach very much, because he also likes it, after all, who doesn't have a little vanity...

So every time he met a guy, he would warmly invite the other person to treat this place as his home, and welcome them to have a party at any time.

Karl, the poor second generation of the royal family, seems a bit out of place here.

Seeing Qiao Jia's effortless expression, Karl shook his head and said with a smile: "Jackal, you are really suitable for doing business, because you have suddenly found a group of people with the most spending power in the world."

Qiao Jia spread his hands indifferently and said, "It's a pity that no one in my family is involved in the fashion industry. Otherwise, there are so many princes and princesses here. With their spending power, they can support a large company with a market value of over 100 million."

Qiao Jia clapped his hands dejectedly and said, "Why don't these guys like guns? Planes and cannons are fine too..."

Saeed led the two of them up the steps of the manor, and while nodding to a black female singer who was passing by to go on stage, he said with a smile: "Jackal, there is someone here who likes airplanes and cannons. If you can make friends with him, My friend, I think we can get big business."

Upon hearing this, Qiao Jia said curiously: "Who?"

Said spread his hands indifferently and said: "The Nahyan family and the SD mercenaries hired by the UAE have suffered heavy losses in Yemen. Now the Shah's people are urging them to continue to invest troops..."

Upon hearing this, Qiao Jia nodded suddenly...

This group of extremely rich Gulf men banded together to bully a poor brother, but they were beaten badly by the mud-legged man who couldn't get enough to eat and relied on chewing chuck grass to carry his hunger.

Their prince soldiers really couldn't fight a tough battle. They just sent them off when they went up. Most of them could run back, but all their equipment was left behind.

The Houthi armed forces in Yemen were forcibly armed by the Shah and the princely soldiers of the United Arab Emirates, and were dozens of times more powerful than the Somali pirates across the sea.

A civil war broke out in Yemen last year, and then the Houthi armed forces advanced with great success and drove away the president of Yemen.

Now the Gulf coalition has responded to the Yemeni president's request for help and jointly bombed Yemen for a year, but the result has been little progress.

Now the Houthis are on the prowl, harassing their airports and facilities near the UAE and Shah, leaving them scrambling.

The most damning thing is that the Yemen base branch, that is, the extremist XN faction, announced a "holy war" against the Houthi armed forces of the SY faction.

This group of people was fighting the Houthi armed forces while taking advantage of the chaos to attack government army bases, and actually grew in strength along the way.

This thing sounds so fucking bad, it has a bit of black humor.

Yemen is now beyond sight; it has become a paradise for terrorists.

If the Houthi armed forces continue to act like this, sooner or later they will be defined as a terrorist group.

Qiao Jia knew what Said said about the so-called SD mercenaries. The UAE probably had little confidence in its own princely soldiers, so when the war started last year, in addition to investing in the air force, it also recruited mercenaries from all over the world.

But the quantity they want is too large, and to be honest, the United Arab Emirates, which has no border with Yemen, is not very interested in attacking Yemen.

So they simply hired tens of thousands of mercenaries from SD, where Boss Qiao made his fortune, to go into battle. As a result, the team was crippled less than two months after arriving in Yemen.

This incident happened only half a year ago, and it is a joke in the mercenary world.

However, the fate of those SD mercenaries was very tragic. When they were besieged and fled, they sought support from the coalition forces, but no one paid attention to them at all.

They fled back to their hometown in embarrassment, trying to settle their salary with people in the UAE, but they were severely deducted.

The temperament of this group of wealthy Middle Eastern men to treat their own people as human beings has now been fully understood, and now even the bellicose Tuareg people no longer accept their business.

After following Saidi into the manor, Qiao Jia discovered that basically everyone with some status was here.

The princes and princesses outside who are chasing stars around the stage are all minors, while the real wealthy bosses are all in the manor, chatting and laughing with the stars.

Said pulled Qiao Jia and Karl along a side corridor, and then walked around inside the complex manor to a place similar to the backstage...

It was really the first time for Qiao Jia to see such a scene. A group of female backup dancers gathered together in their underwear, waiting for the makeup artist in a room to call them in to change clothes.

Seeing Said waving to him in front of him, Qiao Jia coughed lightly, straightened his clothes, strode out, and followed him around the so-called backstage.

Qiao Jia didn't know if the people here did it on purpose, but they really didn't like wearing clothes.

The male singers and other performers mixed in seemed accustomed to this situation.

Perhaps through the help of the prince, Qiao Jia received many small cards along the way.

Although I didn't see the celebrity without clothes, my vanity was definitely filled to the brim.

The three of them walked around inside, took photos with some famous singers, and discussed the possibility of having a drink...

As a result, the agents of these big names were very disrespectful. Although they had smiles on their faces, they firmly rejected the unreasonable demands of Said, the 'unknown prince'.

After hitting two nails in a row, Qiao Jia and Karl were about to laugh at Said when they saw Harmandan and a handsome bearded man walking out of the next room...

It's a bit awkward for the two parties to meet in this place, but Qiao Jia doesn't care about this. According to his understanding, men who visit a brothel together will develop a strange empathy...

These two people couldn't succeed at first glance, and they were no better than themselves...

So Qiao Jia laughed and stepped forward to hug the embarrassed Harmandan. Then he looked into the room and found that there was a familiar female star inside.

Qiao Jia gave a thumbs up to express his admiration for Harmandan's taste, and then said with a smile: "These European and American stars are a bit difficult to deal with. I don't think partying is attractive to them. Next time, let's just make a movie...

It doesn’t take much money to invest in a Hollywood movie company, and I’m extremely curious about the legendary red sofa…”

After all, Harmandan is a big internet celebrity, so he cares about face...

Faced with Boss Qiao's vulgarity, this guy could only smile awkwardly and didn't know how to answer the question.

But the bearded guy next to him nodded with a smile and said, "It's a good idea to open a film company. If there's a chance, I'd be happy to invest some money."

As he spoke, the bearded man stretched out his hand toward Qiao Jia and said, "My name is Tahnoni. Nice to meet you..."

Qiao Jia couldn't figure out the identity of this guy, so he smiled and said: "I am a jackal..."

When Tahnoni heard that Qiao Jia announced his home, his eyes lit up and he said with a smile: "Are you P.B.'s jackal?

Harmandan told me about your business, and I was just wanting to talk to you..."

Qiao Jia was stunned for a moment, then turned around and saw Said nodding slightly. He immediately realized that this guy was from Abu Dhabi.

Seeing the enthusiastic look of the guy in front of him, Qiao Jia nodded and said with a smile: "Then we have to find a quiet place to chat..."

Harmandan didn't seem to want to get involved in Tahnoni's affairs, but he had no choice.

He forced a smile and said: "Sayed has a cigar room on the second floor. There are authentic Cuban cigars there. We can go up and have a seat."

Giogado is a sober person. As soon as he saw Harmandan's appearance, he knew that he was not ready. Talking about business at this time would easily cause the prince to suffer...

Although Harmandan is not a friend, he is Said's brother, and he provides Namor with a harem and also gives money to Namor for fun. Such a good customer must be taken care of...

So Qiao Jia smiled and waved his hand and said: "Why is it so formal? Let's go find something to drink and have a chat together.

Today is the opening ceremony of the resort. Let's make friends first. Business is there. If you are willing, you can always make it happen. "

Tahnoni was stunned for a moment, looked at Harmandan with strange eyes, then nodded with a smile and said: "Yes, the business is there, there will always be a result..."

As he spoke, Tahnoni greeted the two followers, and then led them to the lobby...

Harmandan seemed relieved to see Tahnoni leaving, and then he motioned for Said to catch up. Then he patted Qiaojia's arm gratefully and said, "Tahnoni is Naha." The son of Hamdan bin Zayed of the Young family...

Well, Hamdan is the first deputy prime minister of the United Arab Emirates. Well, he and I, um, we have differences on certain things..."

As he spoke, Harmandan looked at Qiao Jia's smiling face and said helplessly: "But I have to thank you..."

Qiao Jia looked at the sensible Harmandan with a smile and said: "Abu Dhabi is one of the richest royal families in the world. I haven't thanked you yet for letting me get to know such a person..."

Harmandan listened. After hesitating for a moment, he whispered: "Sayed is bragging for you everywhere. Tahnoni heard about P.B. in Iraq, so he must follow me if he finds me this time... …

He deliberately invited P·B to follow what he did in Iraq and go to the coalition base in Yemen to provide logistical services..."

Qiao Jia was stunned for a moment, shook his head decisively and said: "How can you do this kind of business?

The United States is the logistics leader of this war. How much do I have to hate myself to have trouble with the United States in this regard? "

Harmandan was stunned for a moment and said funnyly: "I feel relieved when you say that...

In the past year, the Gulf coalition has been very dissatisfied with the so-called logistics provided by the United States. They only want us to buy arms without considering the actual situation at all.

But you are Said's friend, and I have an obligation to warn you of the risks involved. "

Qiao Jia waved his hands indifferently and said: "In business, if people ask, I will do it if I can do it. If I can't do it, forget it.

This kind of thing depends on your own will. How can he force me to take an order? "

As he spoke, Qiao Jia looked at Harmandan and said with a smile: "Looking at you, it seems that you have other proposals.

It’s not a formal occasion anyway, can you tell me...

Let me be honest, you are indeed a great customer for a strong company! "

Harmandan pondered for a moment while walking and said: "We are not interested in increasing investment in Yemen, we are more concerned about the issue of counter-terrorism.

Al Qaeda and the Houthis have repeatedly threatened to attack our cities. I think what we need is a more critical strike force to take the initiative to deter them..."

Qiao Jia thought about it for a moment and said suddenly: "You want to hire good people to hit key targets..."
