Chapter 1135: Draw a big pie and win a lot
Joga stood up and walked to the window of the reception room, looking out at the blue sea in the distance......
"Sir, in fact, you also think that the Great Green Wall project is the 'right thing', right?
In fact, you should know that France simply could not stop Pยท Is it right to carry out this plan with a contract between the AU and the United Nations?
The obstacle that prevents you from pushing France to join it is nothing more than the greed of French domestic capital for Afica.
In fact, they don't care about Pยท How much money B makes in Afika, and you don't even care about Pยท How many troops does B have there......
What you care about is Pยท The increased national autonomy brought about by the promotion of Afika will make those countries look to other countries in the world, which will make it impossible for you to exploit them easily.
You want free trade in West Africa just for you!
But you know very well that you can't control Afika for the rest of your life!
Because strength does not allow it!
Your national welfare is too high, your guilds are too strong, and the security problems caused by immigration, the unemployment rate is rising, and the terrorism is frequent, all of which put you under great financial pressure!
You've been moving backwards......"
Brother Xiao Ma was not angry because of what Boss Qiao said, he stood beside Qiao Jia, looked at the sea in the distance, and said: "But we have our own bottom line, and safeguarding the interests of our own citizen enterprises is the reason for the existence of a country's government."
Personally, I actually appreciate the Great Green Wall project, and I am even willing to try it after returning to China, and I do not rule out the opportunity to win some financial assistance......
But jackals, the bottom line of all this is that we can defend our interests in West Africa.
It's just West Africa, jackal, we have no way back! โ
Qiao Jia glanced sideways at Brother Xiaoma, and he said with a smile: "Sir, do you know, I actually had an idea earlier, that is, to trap all the funds and industries invested by French capital in the Congo there.
According to my statistics, individuals and companies in France have invested nearly 200 million euros in several major Congolese cities.
They buy minerals, real estate, investment services projects in order to take a bite of the development dividend, and then withdraw before you short the Congolese franc in a few years. โ
Saying that, Qiao Jia looked at the surprised little pony brother, and he smiled and said, "You don't know yet, do you?"
Also, the capitalists probably won't tell you just because they spent a little money in Congo, they will only ask you to cooperate with them when they want to leave the market at the end.
So that they can take away the abundant harvest and leave Congo in shambles!
According to what you just said, this is actually in the best interests of France! โ
Brother Pony looked at Qiao Jia with a frown and said, "What are you going to do?" โ
"It's very simple, to prevent them from cashing out by administrative means or even violent means, and let those funds completely land, you can trap their investment in Congo......
Let them bear the financial scythe of France with the Congo!
In order to cope with this, I even talked to the British and arranged a very complicated plan. โ
Saying that, Qiao Jia looked at the little pony with an incredible face, and he smiled and said, "But now I think I should change my thinking......
After all, you have lost control of the Congo, and I have detected the movements of the French capital, and they have no chance of winning no matter what they do.
So I assume that French capital is well-intentioned, so why can't we help the development of Congo together and earn reasonable returns together? โ
Little Brother Pony looked at Qiao Jia with a frown, and said in a deep voice, "What do you mean by this?" โ
Qiao Jia spread his hands and said: "1 billion euros, I guarantee that as long as you invest within this amount, you can easily leave the market with a profit after 5 years."
The construction of terminals in the Congo is being rolled out, and the market demand there is being amplified, and the investment of 1 billion euros can quickly promote the development of the country if it can be realized.
Congo's starting position is very low, and you can find a professional to calculate how much an investment of 1 billion can increase in value within 5 years......
We all know that capitalism is superior in its initial stage of development, and the only question is whether the capital that comes to invest is good-intentioned!
I am a person who believes in win-win cooperation, and this is a bargaining chip I gave you......
In fact, we all know that the Great Green Wall plan is absolutely beneficial to the establishment of France, but those greedy bastards are used to eating fast food, and their thinking cannot change for a while.
Sir, I don't want to go head-to-head with France, because that would make us both lose!
Don't think I'm bragging, in fact I'm sure your army will not be able to move an inch in the Sahel, and you will have no reason or chance to stop Pยท B to fulfill the Great Green Wall plan!
Even if you just say no, the United Nations, the AU and the people of West Africa will spit in your face! โ
Saying that, Joga said with a smile: "The prince of the UAE and the prince of Qatar are in the house......
Orders from Dassault, orders from the Army Armament Group, and even orders from the Naval Armament Group......
If you add the Congolese investment, it will be enough for you to win over the members of the parliament and clear the way for the vote!
sir, a great leader should look at the world with a more long-term vision, embrace the changes in the world, and make the best response.
France has always been an open and inclusive country, and you have the opportunity and obligation to lead those West African countries on a better path to development.
What if some of them disembark halfway?
As long as France maintains its influence, you will be able to win back their trust sooner or later.
Because they all speak French, as long as you're not too greedy, you'll always be their first choice! โ
After all, Brother Xiao Ma is also a human being, and it is really difficult for normal people to ignore the big cake given by Boss Qiao......
And this is not a pie, but a real pie of benefits!
It is a gift that cannot be refused, taking into account the interests of the country and the interests of individuals.
There is a wave of people in France who are very friendly to West African countries, and joining the Great Green Wall program can pull these people in.
Arms orders allow him to hold back representatives of France's core industries, and Congolese investment allows him to hold back a large interest group.
In this case, if Brother Pony wants to do something, he will definitely be passed by the council!
Qiao Jia watched Brother Pony put his hands on the window edge, his fingers kept tapping subconsciously, he knew that this old man was moved......
No politician can refuse such a condition offered by Boss Joe!
Although Boss Qiao himself basically did not pay anything substantial, and flickered an extra amount of money that would never be withdrawn in 5 years, and avoided France's financial harvest of the Congo.
But the ones he provided were definitely the best conditions for Xiao Ma to consolidate power.
Because in the end, no matter how the situation in Afika develops, Brother Pony himself will not lose!
There were many ways to defend France's interests in Afica, but he chose the one that was more moderate to West Africa.
The advantage of choosing this path was to raise the profile of France in West Africa and reduce their military costs.
The only problem is that in the future they will need to invest more in maintaining the goodwill of the West African countries.
This is the same as the European division of the left and the right, but it is just a matter of choosing the route, no matter how you choose, you can find a core of supporters.
Coupled with the capital plates provided by Boss Qiao, Xiao Ma, who was originally white-left, will not only not lose, but will also speed up his restraint on power.
Joga sat back on the sofa and waited patiently for nearly half an hour......
It wasn't until Brother Xiao Ma turned around and picked up the coffee that had cooled down and drank it all, and the whole person sat relaxed on the sofa, that he smiled and said, "Do we have a deal?" โ
Brother Xiao Ma rubbed his face vigorously and said, "Deal!"
However, the details of the follow-up cooperation still need to be disclosed and negotiated......"
Qiao Jia waved his hand indifferently and said, "As long as the general direction is the same, leave the rest of the things to the professionals."
You're just the president of France, not the babysitter of the businesses......"
Brother Pony, who was in a good mood, nodded vigorously and said, "Jackal, you are a magical person!"
In the future, if you have time, you can go to France often, and we have a lot of room for cooperation on the issue of Afica.
There are some things I really need to learn from you, and I hope we can be really good friends! โ
Qiao Jia smiled and nodded and said, "Sir, you are one of the youngest leaders in the world, and it is my honor to be friends with you!" โ
Saying that, Qiao Jia touched his chin and said with a smile: "Since we are friends, I take the liberty of asking, what is the annual salary of the President of France?" โ
Boss Qiao's overly presumptuous question made Brother Xiao Ma stunned, and soon he shook his head and said with a smile: "It's not a secret......
My current salary is 180,000 euros a year, but all my expenses at the Elysรฉe Palace are covered by the government, so I think it's a good salary. โ
Qiao Jia laughed, he didn't take what Xiao Ma said seriously at all, whose president doesn't have a few white gloves to hold assets on his behalf?
It's just that Xiao Ma has been in politics for a relatively short time, and the amount of funds outside his supervision is estimated to be relatively limited.
It is said that they want to make friends, so doing some harmless 'bad things' together can really increase the friendship between the two parties.
Qiaojia looked at the relaxed little brother and said with a smile: "Man, actually, I want to talk to you more about Greece and local chickens.
Now I don't think these issues are an obstacle for both of us at all, you say? โ
Brother Pony nodded and said with a smile: "Of course, Greece is a traditional ally of France, and of course we have to safeguard the interests of our allies."
The development of Crete is a matter for Greece's financial security, and even for trade and energy security in the Mediterranean.
As a responsible power, France has a responsibility to help Greece complete the development of Crete, and I can bring in French businesses and capital for Crete if Greece needs it. โ
When Qiao Jia heard this, he clapped his hands and said: "This is the demeanor of a leader of a great country!"
But the Greeks betrayed me, so I could have to deal with the issue of nearly 2.5 billion euros in bonds.
As a friend, it's right to be fair to me, right? โ
Brother Pony spread his hands and said, "Of course! What do you want to do? โ
When Qiao Jia saw that Xiao Ma was so good, he waved his hand and pushed away the obstructive documents on the coffee table, and then found a pen and paper, and drew a map of the island branch of the Aegean Sea in three or two......
After marking the location of Crete, Choga moved the tip of his pen a short distance to the right, nodded vigorously above the Greek islands of Sariaya and Kasos, and said: "The Aegean Sea has proven gas reserves of 3.7 trillion cubic meters and oil reserves of 1.7 billion barrels.
There are already proven natural gas fields in this location......
The Greeks owe me, but they certainly don't have the money to pay me back.
I'm going to invest in an offshore rig to develop natural gas, so that the Greeks can use it to pay off their debts. โ
Saying that, Qiao Jia looked at the surprised little brother, and he said with a smile: "As a friend, I think you or your family can set up an energy company if you are interested, and then I will invest in the development of submarine natural gas." โ
Brother Xiao Ma listened and said curiously: "Jackal, how are you going to make a profit?"
The price of natural gas in Europe is very low now, and it is very simple to set up an energy company, but investing in an offshore drilling platform requires at least 100 million euros, and because it is an offshore platform, the cost of extraction, management and transportation will increase a lot.
There is a reason why the Mediterranean gas reserves are extremely high, but no one extracts them, because the result is that the cost of extracting the gas is much higher than the market price. โ
Joga listened, smiled and drew a line between the rig and Crete, and said: "So the platform alone is not enough, we still need a pipeline."
It's only about 60 kilometers from Crete, and the cost of an undersea pipeline isn't too outrageous.
Although the cost of doing so is still higher than the price of natural gas exported by Russia, my purpose is not simply to sell the natural gas.
Greece's second phase of Cretan development bonds will certainly not be sold, and the infrastructure problems there are related to the speed of development.
It is a 9,000-square-kilometer island, and in the future, it will gather a series of infrastructure such as tourism, entertainment, energy, warehousing, etc., with casinos and so many industries, and population is definitely not a problem, so the demand for energy will be very large.
I want to build a large power plant on Crete, generate electricity from natural gas, and then supply the energy needs of the entire island of Crete.
I've even found the workers from the East W!
My cost is so high, then the price of electricity on the island is a little higher, I don't think a casino tycoon like Albert II will mind too much.
And in the future, if something happens to the Russian side, this gas field will be able to make a lot of money. โ
Saying that, Qiao Jia looked at the surprised little brother Ma, and he said with a smile: "Man, find someone to register an energy company in France, I will contribute, and you will take 5% of the shares."
Since it is a drilling platform for French enterprises, it is reasonable and legal for you to arrange for the navy to operate nearby to prevent local chicken harassment!
Freedom of navigation, everybody understands, right? โ
Brother Xiao Ma looked at Boss Qiao in amazement and said, "Jackal, what are you trying to do to help Greece like this?"
What did you owe them in your last life? โ
Qiao Jia spread his hands and said: "Do business, big investment can have big returns!"
And as a Greek citizen, I am desperate to help Greece get out of this predicament as soon as possible......"
Brother Xiao Ma looked at Qiao Jia, who was not afraid of thunder and thunder when he was talking nonsense, he shook his head and said with a smile: "Okay, how can I cooperate with you?" โ
Joga laughed and said, "Everyone is friends, I'll be responsible for holding down that kipras later, and you will be responsible for emptying his pockets......"
Little Pony stared............
