From arms dealer to king of war

Choga’s plane landed at ‘Prince of Dubai Airport’ in Ndele, and Ayew greeted them at the airport with a motorcade.

Qiaojia has not been to Ndele for more than half a year, and the changes here have made him a little uncomfortable.

The airport's terminal building has been expanded and renovated, and there are two more runways.

The overall area has been expanded by more than four times, and there are many more hangars for parking private jets or small aircraft.

Not long after the convoy drove onto the highway, Qiao Jia saw a large construction site...

It was supposed to be the outer suburbs of Ndele, but now there is construction everywhere.

That area is the hotel area and accommodation area designated by Tongtong's grandmother. They are bounded by the highway, and the two sides are clearly separated...

Because Boss Qiao exclusively operates the resort within the reserve, others who want to invest in hotels need to find a way in Ndele.

The current investors in the hotel zone are Prince Said and Ndele local government, so only two large hotels are currently under construction.

But the residential area is much more lively, and Boss Qiao's real estate finance has spread from Sangha Town to Ndele.

Lao Zhu of the 'Big Group' will build a large community that can accommodate 15,000 people according to Grandma Tongtong's plan, and has reserved room for expansion.

There are markets, hospitals, schools, shops in the community...

The original site of Ndele will retain its original flavor, and on this basis, the town will be turned into a unique tourist spot.

Except for people from government agencies, everyone in Ndele will move to residential areas. From now on, the town will only be a place for them to work.

That is to say, Qiao Jia insisted on selling the houses after they were built, otherwise half of those buildings would be sold now.

Qiao Jia is not worried about money at all...

As long as crude oil from Tobruk and Iraq is still being exported, Qiao Liang's "material flow" from China can bring him huge cash flow.

Of course, the expenditures in Tobruk and Iraq are also very terrible. The current income from these two places has not completely offset the initial investment.

However, according to the calculations of professionals, with the end of the most terrible initial hardware investment and humanitarian investment, it will take up to three months for these two places to achieve positive returns.

Although the 'professionals' had weird expressions when they answered Qiao Jia's questions, they seemed to think it was incredible that a boss like Boss Qiao was worried about money.

Gami always teases Qioga about his inability to use money, saying that as a major shareholder of a bank with a financing amount of more than 6 billion euros and an estimated market value of more than 15 billion euros, he is always worried that he is short of money. This is for their professionals. humiliation.

But Qiao Jia doesn't care about this. He has a deep sense of crisis. He is not used to the financial world, and he also feels that it is not safe.

Boss Qiao is as conservative as a farmer when it comes to the use of financial leverage!

Never make investments beyond one's ability. This is the bottom line Qiao Jia has drawn for Jami and the 'Pirate Fund'.

Never compete with the market for IQ, but hunt within your own sphere of influence.

You may miss a lot of opportunities this way, but Qiao Jia feels relieved when you have your destiny in your own hands.

In fact, Qiao Jia did not know that Jia Mi did not oppose his 'unreasonable request', but constructed the 'Pirate Fund' exactly according to his ideas. The reason was that the 'Pirate Fund' already had the prototype of a capital group.

Jiami is the person who knows the game of Wall Street best. It is also a pyramid structure. A bunch of leeks who think they are lucky fill the bottom of the pyramid. A bunch of talented financial talents play in the market with wisdom and luck. Forming the backbone...

The outside world thinks that the top financial executives are mostly engaged in insider trading. In fact, the real top financial people are engaged in political trading.

Those people use money and power to influence commodity transactions in the world. The resulting price fluctuations are reflected in the financial market, which is an incalculable amount of money.

The hunting model of the ‘Pirate Fund’ gave it the embryonic form of top capital.

Build a Belgian mining group, build an Australian oil group, build an American mining company...

Congo's North Kivu province has settled down, and now PB is taking the lead in integrating Iraq's oil resources...

What is insider trading?

Boss Qiao is the one who created insider trading!

While progress was going smoothly in southern Iraq, the 'Pirate Fund' made a strong move in the futures market, where it made huge profits.

North Kivu still needs a lot of infrastructure investment, but the orderly mining market now formed there has been able to move the price of international rare ores to a limited extent.

In just three years, or less, when Boss Qiao announces a reduction in cobalt ore production in North Kivu, the world's cobalt ore price will rise. When he announces an increase in lithium ore production, the lithium ore price will fall.

How can such people not make people feel ridiculous when they cry out about poverty every day?

It's a pity that Gami, the Swedish eldest lady, is not Qiao Jia, and the financial elites she recruited do not understand Qiao Jia's thoughts.

They are not gun owners, so they naturally lack a sense of awe for the rights that guns bring.

This group of people has stayed in stable places in Europe and the United States for too long, and they lack sufficient expectations for the risks of Afika.

But Boss Qiao is different from them. He knows how difficult it is to get his career and how difficult it is to maintain it!

According to his ideal, if he wants to maintain P·B's status for a long time, he needs to continue to expand until he can stand up straight and say 'no' to anyone!

For a person who plays with guns, money is never enough!

Qiao Jia asked the team to circle around Ndele and found that there were many foreign tourists in this native town.

Maybe it’s because they feel they are superior to others, or they don’t want other places to develop. Europeans and Americans always say that they like this kind of pristine place.

When they see a primitive tribe, they will advise them to continue to maintain their original ecology and just let me be their guest occasionally.

But if you put them in Ndele, you can see the difference.

They will not set foot in those more primitive places where flies fly everywhere. They only go to take a few photos from a distance to express their feelings about the backwardness of the place.

These wealthy tourists love to go to carefully designed tourist spots one after another...

The strong display of national customs there is actually because people from the Ndele government listened to Boss Qiao's suggestion and exaggerated and dramatized some of the local habits, good or bad, and made a systematic summary and used the small town to Present to the outside world...

For example, alcoholic beverages fermented from cassava are exaggerated into requiring girls under the age of 18 to chew the cassava with their mouths to squeeze out the juice and then ferment it...

When tourists come, a group of little black girls will enthusiastically pull them to try it. After the tourists are either happy or reluctant to try it, they will change the packaging and put the Ndele trademark on it, claiming to be brewed with modern technology. Cassava wine is sold to them at a high price.

Another example is the wood carving shop that is so busy that you have to queue up...

An old 'shaman' with no teeth was standing there, holding a wooden bowl filled with so-called lion's blood. Before every visitor entered, the wizard had to make a slash on their forehead with the lion's blood.

Then, if a tourist purchases Namor’s wood carving, the wizard will also provide a ‘consecration’ service.

Just like if you open a few bottles of Ace of Spades in a nightclub, an atmosphere group will come up to dance.

This place is more heroic. As long as you buy a high-priced wood carving, a dozen strong men in grass skirts will rush up...

They shout random slogans and dance primitive dance steps. Under the auspices of the wizard, they let you feel the original Afika style. They also consecrate your wood carvings and finally tell you that a certain god will be watching you!

This kind of marketing routine, which is so obvious that it is not worth mentioning, has produced strange effects in Ndele.

Qiaojia used his one-sided summary of the tourism industry to give technical guidance to Ndele.

He didn't know whether it was good or bad, but looking at the smiles on the faces of the gangsters in Ndele, he guessed that the rich guys would have an easier time making money.

After all, the exchange rate is different, and the price difference is even greater. If people spend a few yuan or even dozens of yuan to have fun and experience the national culture, they are probably quite happy.

The person in charge of serving as a tour guide for Boss Qiao is Linda, the mayor of Ndele. She used to be the assistant of Boss Qiao's assistant Lenore.

This girl claimed to have studied abroad, and then relied on the fact that her mother was a senior Central African official with a long title responsible for managing the natural environment. She followed Boss Qiao to Ndele. After meeting a series of princes and princesses, she took up the post of Ndele. mayor position.

Now Linda is sitting in a car with Boss Qiao...

Seeing Boss Qiao nodding his head all the way, Linda smiled and showed her white teeth, and said: "Boss, the amount of investment in Endele has reached an unprecedented level. This place will become a real pearl. Your investment will It’s been hugely rewarding.”

Qiao Jia was stunned for a moment, then shook his head in a funny way and said: "Tourism is an industry. Remember my words, if the profits of Ndele's tourism industry are concentrated towards one company, then what you have to do is to destroy that company. Otherwise Ndele’s good situation will come to an end sooner or later.”

As he spoke, Qiao Jia looked at the confused Linda and said with a smile: "Why are you looking at me like that?

P·B is not that company, and Global Guides Group is not even that company.

Ndele is not a sangha town!

My expectations were completely different here!

My accountant told me that it would take 15 years for Prince Said and I to recoup our investment in Ndele.

Well, according to the prince's nature, I guess the accountant's calculations were a bit too optimistic.

My core business here is only a resort, and I have never thought about dancing on the street for tourists to earn tips.

The tourism industry belongs to everyone in Ndele, and your responsibility as the mayor is to let the most people benefit from this industry.

Maintain orderly development and slowly make the plate bigger. "

Linda ‘Huh? ’ made a sound, and said a little unbelievably: “Boss, if you don’t want to continue investing, that planning master helped us design a new primitive town.

Ndele needs to go through several rounds of transformation..."

Qiao Jia looked at Linda with a funny look and said, "How about I invest in the renovation? From now on, the property rights of the houses in Ndele Town will belong to me, and I will be responsible for renting them to you to open shops?"

Linda said matter-of-factly: "Yes, isn't this bad? I consulted my mother's opinion, and she told me..."

"She told you that you can give me benefits in exchange for more resources, and she pushed you to move up..."

As he spoke, Qiao Jia looked at Linda, who looked a little embarrassed. He smiled and shook his head and said: "You are a little worse than Lenore because you are speculating.

I am not criticizing you, but I am telling you that if you want to be a good politician, you must first do your job well, so that your value will be magnified.

If it were you and me, would you rather invest in a good government manager or a speculator?

Lenore told me that her ideal is to become the president of Central Africa...

And you? Inherit my mother's position of managing lakes and forests, with a name so long that I can't even remember it? "

When Linda heard this, she was surprised and said: "Boss, you want us to..."

Qiao Jia waved his hand to interrupt Linda's words, he smiled and said: "I hope it doesn't matter, I am also happy to help you!

But you have to have ambitious goals instead of just speculating on taking my light.

Do you think that would be interesting? "
