Chapter 525: It's All Old Foxes
Qiao Jia and Lu Jun's communication was smooth, because both sides were willing to think about each other.
It's like finding out this morning that your ambassador actually came to stand up for himself uninvited, with a little tacit understanding in it.
The resource structure of the Congo determines that Joga cannot control the upstream of the resources as in the Sangha Town, and then integrate the resources to improve the downstream industries.
The plan proposed by Lu Jun actually increased Qiao Jia's bargaining chips, shortened Boss Qiao's payment cycle, increased profit margins, and most importantly, saved a lot of things.
The clapper confirmed Lu Jun's intention, and then invited him to spend a few more days in Sangha Town. B's base was visited and had a meal by the way.
Central African President François has completely let go, and this guy has finally caught two big heads, of course, he has to 'ask for food'.
If it weren't for the big country, the Chinese ambassador did not resist the 'pleas', and 'reluctantly' agreed to provide an infrastructure loan of 80 million US dollars, and accepted a piece of 'manganese' ore as collateral.
The $80 million is actually equivalent to being given for free, but the project funds are not in the hands of China and Africa at all, but directly into the account of China State Construction Company.
It has been said that it is an infrastructure loan, so it is natural to use it for infrastructure, who else in this industry is more suitable than China State Construction?
And that 'manganese ore' is actually equivalent to the Central African government stuffing to China, because it is not far from the Sangha Town, which can be used as a supplement to the industrial chain of the Sangha Town.
François figured it out thoroughly, all the efforts he made were trying to make the 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 was actually prepared, and 80 million should be used to give P· The funds of platform B are specially used to disgust the French.
Once the French put forward harsh conditions, the negotiators in Sangha were able to come up with a plan for Chinese investment......
"Daddy, you can't go too far, or the Central African people will be sad."
Joga wanted to laugh out loud when he thought of it......
In order to beat themselves, the French transferred 300 extra-French soldiers from Niger to expand the number of extra-French soldiers here to 500.
In the end, not only did he not scare Qiaojia, but he also had to pay Qiaojia money for eating and drinking.
500 francs plus 500 blue hats, 300,000 euros a day just to eat and drink, because they surrounded the enemy in the jungle, P· B is also subject to a 20% delivery fee.
Coupled with the non-stop call for helicopter and artillery support, P· B can earn 800,000 euros from this gang in a day at most.
That is, the 'ghost mercenary group' is not powerful, if they survive in the jungle for a year, Boss Qiao will make a fortune by doing logistics.
They came here with so many people just to preach force and gain a dominant position for negotiations, but as a result, the Chinese ambassador came up and first smashed 80 million yuan to set the tone, burying more than half of their efforts in an instant.
At this time, Joga suddenly looked at Ambassador Steven, and it was a little unpleasant......
While leading several big people to eat in the cafeteria, Qiao Jia looked at Steven in a weird way and said: "Mr. Ambassador, as a representative of the United States, when you see the current situation of poverty in Central Africa, don't you have anything to say?" ”
Steven picked up a piece of fatty braised pork, frowned and tasted it, and then 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 canned and passed." ”
Qiao Jia saw that this guy quickly diverted the topic, hinting that there is still a lot of business to do in the Middle East, don't embarrass him on the issue of Central Africa, Qiao Jia said with a smile: "In fact, Central African beef and mutton are also good, especially buffalo meat, although there is not much fat, but the taste is quite good."
As soon as you mention canned food, I understand that it is no problem to come to Mr. Ambassador to invest in a canning factory on behalf of the United States......"
Being inexplicably squeezed by Qiaojia made Steven a little helpless, thinking that he had been putting on a high posture before, and it was a bit unpleasant to see the Chinese ambassador smiling and chanting at this time.
However, the old Meipi is thick, in order to make himself appear a little more gregarious with the soldiers eating around, he rudely pulled a few mouthfuls of rice, then took a sip of mixed juice, and then sighed, and said with a smile: "Jackal, I came here alone, without the support of industrial capital, I can't write you a blank check."
You know that my wife is a minority shareholder in ExxonMobil, and I still have a bit of influence, so do you think Central Africa has ......?"
"Yes!!"
Joga and François clapped their hands in unison: "Yes, not only oil fields but also natural gas." ”
Steven looked at Joga like a ghost and said, "The current cost of oil extraction is about 45 US dollars a barrel, do you think the oil and gas resources in Central Africa are worth investing?" ”
Saying that, Steven set his eyes on the ambassador of Huaguo, and then the elegant ambassador smiled shyly, and after taking a sip of vegetable soup, he suddenly frowned and stood up and said apologetically: "I'll go to the bathroom......"
Seeing that the Chinese people known as Afika and the timely rain had all withdrawn, Steven looked at Qiaojia, spread his hands and said, "Look, business is business......"
Joga looked at François next to him and seemed a little disappointed, he secretly kicked him, and then said to Steven: "Dude, we are friends, of course it is not worth mentioning that Central Africa's oil and gas are brought to the world, but don't you think that after the development can benefit the Central African people?"
Central Africa does not even have its own oil refineries, and all gasoline is imported from abroad, so the cost of using vehicles is naturally high.
It's already poor, and if we don't have the support of well-wishers like you, when will we be able to truly modernize?
As the lighthouse of the world, as the representative of the lighthouse, can you bear to watch this place remain in a state of ignorance? ”
Steven looked at Joga like a ghost, and then noticed the sly look in Boss Joe's eyes, and he suddenly realized something......
"Should I have my wife arrange a delegation to come and do a detailed assessment of Central Africa's oil and gas resources?"
Joga stretched out his hand and nodded at Steven, and said with a smile: "Tomorrow François will organize a press conference, and I think it would be better for you to express your intention in this regard." ”
Steven now understood that his task was to raise the price of oil and gas resources in Central Africa.
It is unlikely that the French trade group wants to get involved in the core projects of the Sangha Town, so if they want to increase their influence, they can only focus on infrastructure or basic projects.
Boss Joe probably wants to sell the energy project to France......
You see, Afika's father opened his mouth and took away the oil field, how much face does that have?
In the future, the oil and gas industry in Central Africa will be controlled by France, and this influence is not leveraged?
However, Steven, who knows the energy industry well, knows that oil and gas in Central Africa are all money-losing goods, because the reserves are not high, and it is impossible to build pipelines, let alone build an oil refinery......
Natural gas is profitable, but it needs to be connected to Sangha Town, and then beg grandpa to tell grandma to let those 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 Nima enters the game, it is great luck to be able to make a profit within 20 years, and the average business life span is only a few years?
What no one competes for is worthless, and not even qualifying as a bargaining chip.
But once Steven wants to get involved in the energy industry in Central Africa with a 'vengeance', France will have to follow suit.
We all know that Steven has suffered a lot of grievances in Libya, and now the top level of the United States is used to him, and it is normal for him to do something bad and disgust France.
The French still have no way to take him, because the direction of energy in the United States has shifted, and at this time, offending Steven is making a mortal enmity.
Thinking about Boss Joe's 'trick', Steven said with a smile: "Do you want to arrange a few paparazzi, I can 'meet' the representative of the French energy group, and then express anger and disdain to him."
What happened to me was indirectly related to them, so what I did was reasonable. ”
Qiao Jia nodded solemnly, and then said with a smile: "I think you should also express your coveting of the oil and gas resources in Central Africa, they are all underground oil and gas, you can't discriminate against them because they are in Central Africa, they must be valuable......
The French want to take them away at the price of cabbage, which is disrespectful to them.
They can be a little cheaper than other places, but not too much, otherwise it doesn't fit the image of liberal democratic development in France, you say? ”
Steven nodded seriously and said, "France used to be the suzerainty of Central Africa, and they plundered countless resources from here, and now it's time for them to pay off their debts."
Rest assured, I will not sit idly by and watch the 'plunder' happen again in this land!
Even if I pay for it myself, I will raise the price of oil and gas resources, haha......"
François looked at the two of them like a ghost, you and I stuffed the energy project in Central Africa to France one by one, he thought about it for a long time and slapped his thigh, and just about to praise Boss Qiao is really high, Boss Qiao has already stood up and pulled the Chinese ambassador who returned from the bathroom......
It's all here, of course you have to go to the shooting range to have a good time, if you want to fly a fighter jet, I will let someone take you to the sky to play......
The ambassador's secretary was always cautious and observant, which made Joga a little aggrieved for him.
It's all your own people, you're embarrassed to say, then I'll take you to see it generously, P· B has nothing to see!
Just when everyone was having fun, intelligence officer Thompson found Joga......
This guy talked to the two ambassadors and the president in a personable manner, exchanged phone calls, and then pulled Joga to the side and said, "Boss, the French have handed over the confession of the 'ghost'."
Mayor Lienor is trying to get the French to hand over the surrendered guys, but it's not going too far. ”
When Qiao Jia heard this, he nodded and said: "The person is just for revenge, and if you have a confession, you can start acting."
How are you preparing in North Kivu? ”
Thompson nodded with a smile and said, "The special combat team has been set up, and we have figured out the bases and residences of the two warlords who cooperate with Walker Mining......
But I know the boss wants a big scene, so I'm waiting for your order! ”
