From Arms Dealer To King of War - Chapter 505
Chapter 505 How could this happen?
What kind of image does P·B have in Afika?
Haftar of the National Army gave a standard answer…
“Help me take Tobruk, I will hand over all the defense contracts for the refining equipment to you, 20 million US dollars per year!
If you can help me resume production there, guarantee that no less than 5,000 jobs will be provided, and 50% of the refinery’s equity and actual management rights will be handed over to P·B. “
Qiaojia knows where Tobruk is. Boss Qiao just passed by with a group of workers three hours ago.
Tobruk is the location of the largest oil refinery in the northeast corner of Libya, and there is an oil pipeline directly connected to it from the central oil field.
Tobruk is Libya’s most important crude oil and refined oil export city, but it has been under the control of Al Qaeda in recent years.
The National Army has been trying to regain Tobruk, but their control area has not yet reached there.
National Army boss Haftar knows P·B…
In fact, he only paid 20 million US dollars in defense costs, and the rest of the things had to be picked up by Joe himself, and he asked for help in resuming work, resuming production and stabilizing the local area.
Boss Joe’s image of being kind, rich, capable, friends, and strong in organization is deeply rooted in the hearts of the big shots in Afika.
It is said that Haftarti’s conditions are good, but what Boss Joe did this time is for Nice.
It was the first time Boss Joe saw Nice trying to avoid something, and this hard-hearted girl showed a rare fragility, which moved Qiao Jia a lot.
Do something!
Even if it can make Niss a little happier and more human…
In this case, the conditions proposed by Haftar are not suitable, because he regards P·B as an immediate combat mercenary, and he is the kind of charitable mercenary who is willing to fight on credit.
If the same conditions were changed to Iraq, Choga would agree without hesitation, but not in Libya.
Said that if you want to help those refugees, you have to help them!
But Boss Joe’s little money is simply a drop in the bucket. He needs someone to advance in, otherwise, Boss Qiao’s drawing alone will not be able to attract enough funds to enter, and he needs more bargaining chips.
“I want all the income of Tobruk in the next 3 years. After 3 years, I only need 50% of the shares, and then the share will be reduced by 5% every year until the share of 20%.
I demand that all the crude oil imported from the Southern Oilfield be sold to the refinery, and the price should not be higher than $50 a barrel within 3 years. From the 4th to the 8th year, the price of crude oil should be 20% lower than the market price.
In exchange, I will provide no less than 15,000 jobs, and provide materials worth 50 million US dollars to the National Military Government every year for the first three years. “
Boss Qiao’s conditions are actually not harsh, because there are no oil fields around Tobruk, so Boss Qiao still has to pay for the imported crude oil, it’s just cheaper.
And the reality is that the National Army is temporarily unable to take Tobruk, and factories that cannot be started are worthless.
Once Boss Joe takes Tobruk and holds it there, the National Army will have one more crude oil export point, and their source of funds will be one more source of money, which is all money that comes out of the ground, and the cheaper it is, the cheaper it is.
Haftar is the kind of person who really wants to reunify Libya. Among the conditions put forward by Boss Joe, what moved him the most was 15,000 jobs.
At this time, we can see the role of P·B’s good reputation, and Haftar agreed to Boss Joe’s request almost without hesitation…
“Jackal, I agree to your conditions, but I want to add one more, and it needs to be specified in the contract…
P·B needs to ensure the safety of the people around Tobruk and Bairdi. I don’t want to see the scene where al-Qaeda people drive in and pull away a large number of fanatical soldiers. “
Joga was a little amused and said, “Dude, I have a profitable business in Congo, a business that is more profitable than this rotten place!
But my girlfriend wanted to help people here, so I called you.
The conditions you mentioned are not requirements for me, but you can’t mark the things I am going to do my best as goals that must be completed.
I’m doing good deeds, are you **** going to use KPI to evaluate me? “
Speaking of Qiao Jia looking at the P.B convoy in the distance, he grinned and said: “If you have the guts, I will clear a section of the highway, and you come by plane. We are witnessing by the American ambassador and the media.” Complete the contract.”
Haftar listened in disbelief and said: “Ambassador Steven is in your hands?”
Qiaojia sneered and said: “To be precise, he asked me for help because he was not protected by the National Army!
Dude, you owe me a favor for protecting Ambassador Steven from being on America’s diplomatic blacklist. “
Haftar listened to the silence for a long time, and said: “Jackal, I don’t know how to explain the question about the ambassador. Everything happened so suddenly!”
Of course Choja knew what was going on. On the issue of the ambassador, Haftar was also a victim.
This matter is promoted by the French and the internal forces of the United States. People like Haftar cannot be entangled in this matter, otherwise he will be unlucky.
Thinking about it, I also know that Haftar may not dare to come to the area controlled by terrorists at such a critical moment. Boss Qiao said with a smile: “I believe the ambassador will understand your difficulties, but the contract must be signed, otherwise I will not be able to mobilize So much power.
Let’s do it like this, you are in charge of the security at Benghazi airport, I will send a brave lawyer and a team of reporters to find you, and then they will come to me with signed contracts.
What do you think of this? “
The more reasonable and legal a person is, the easier it is to gain the trust of people like Haftar. Because Boss Joe cares, he will not easily break his promise.
This is a win-win deal. P·B opened up a stable financial source and a stable area for Libya during the war.
After 4~8 years, P·B will return most of the equity of the refinery and only retain 20%.
The most important thing is that Boss Joe can help stabilize the situation in Tobruk and Bairdi, and save hundreds of thousands of Libyans from war.
He is doing what the national military government wants to do, but can’t.
And only P·B can do this kind of thing!
The strength of the big country is definitely stronger than P·B, but France is betting on both sides of the National Unity Government and the National Army, and wants Libyan politics to maintain an unstable balance.
Hua people want to help get some benefits, but they can’t interfere in the internal affairs of other countries, especially they can’t send troops to interfere.
National institutions can’t do it, so can big companies do it?
The reality is that no matter how strong a large company is, the cost of integrating resources for a large multinational company is too high, and the profit of this contract does not meet the demands of a large company at all.
To sum up, giant companies feel that it is not worthwhile, because the income is too low!
All the benefits of Tobruk for 10 years may be able to impress some giants, but the National Army will not agree.
This kind of work is either led by a big country to provide assistance, or the national military government itself takes the lead in sharing the cake.
The reality is that there is no unreasonable assistance, and the National Military Government’s credit is almost meaningless.
Looking at the whole of Afika, only P·B is willing to do it, and can do it.
If Haftar still cares about this kind of business, he will not be able to sit in his current position.
“We deal, Jackal!
Thank you for your contribution to Libya! “
Joga smiled and hung up the phone, completing this not-so-difficult negotiation…
P·B’s reputation is only one aspect. The core reason why this matter is so simple is that Choja is inducing Haftar to make a deal with himself with what the terrorists have.
The National Army has been recognized by several major countries. They have legitimacy and have the right to inherit the legacy of the former Libyan government.
As long as the contract is established, Boss Qiao will be able to spread hero posts and invite heroes from all over the world to share the cake.
P·B does not have manpower to open up a new battlefield in Libya, so Boss Joe wants to use Libya as an experimental site to verify the feasibility of the Iraqi operation and at the same time try to explore a new path.
The first thing Boss Qiao grabbed was Lao Chen from the oil and gas company…
When he told Lao Chen about his deal with Haftar, the old man’s eyes were about to fall out.
The people with a few barrels of oil are working hard all over the world, just to ensure the domestic supply of crude oil.
Boss Joe got the top three oil refineries in Libya with just a phone call, and there is also a Mediterranean crude oil outlet.
Even if Boss Joe doesn’t resume work on the refinery and just guarantees the operation of the port, the low price of crude oil at $55 a barrel can make him a lot of money.
Now Boss Qiao wants more, and even wants to contract out the oil refinery. For Lao Chen, this business is like a gold nugget in the sky.
Of course it’s just an intention now, and the share of crude oil and refined oil exports needs to be shared with Europe, otherwise those guys have more than enough to succeed.
But as long as Boss Joe shows the ability to win Tobruk, what is the next advance?
Isn’t Boss Joe just ordering food and drink in tents in the early stage?
The people from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs are here, spending money to organize supplies in Egypt and send them there. As long as they are in the name of humanitarian assistance, the benefits will also gain a reputation. How good?
Backed by money and friendship, how efficient can Hua people be?
In just 4 hours, the first batch of food and tents urgently organized from the Egyptian border city of Sallum arrived.
The truck was hung with a banner saying “The people of Huaguo care about Libya”, and they drove across the border and delivered the things to Boss Joe.
Finally, those drivers left the car behind, took a tip of 500 yuan and happily went back to Egypt, ready to take the next trip.
And this is just the beginning. At 4 o’clock in the afternoon that day, two Russian transport planes landed on the highway cleared by P.B, and then ran out of the brigade of soldiers, as well as 6 self-propelled howitzers and a large number of light and heavy weapons. .
Egyptian border officer Ramsey stood on the sentry tower, his eyes with binoculars were about to pop out.
Russian transport planes carrying Serbians invaded Libya?
Those Serbian artillery and paratroopers, some of them didn’t even take off their epaulets. The first time they got off the plane, they went to report to the boss of P·B, and then set up a defense line around the Libyan border guard.
If these can still be explained, when the four Gazelles of the Egyptian Army Air Forces and two Mi-8s loaded with supplies crossed the border and landed in the open space, the Egyptian border officer Ramsay felt that he was about to have a heart attack.
Those helicopters are a bit older, but can’t you **** smuggle the paint a little thicker and completely cover up the Army Aviation markings?
Do you think that if you put tape on the chest and arms of the flight suit, I won’t recognize you as Army Airline pilots?
As a result, the border officer Ramsey called his superiors to confirm, but after receiving a **** and a warning of ‘don’t meddle in your own business’, he saw an even more incredible scene.
An Italian held the border inspection stamp of the Libyan border in his hand, and kept issuing small cards to the Egyptian border guards, while fooling the Egyptian border guards…
“Guys, when do you get off work?
We need manpower here, and we don’t need you to fight. We just need to help maintain order and establish observation posts.
$100 a day, pay day.
If you want to come, come here with your passport, and I will stamp you to enter the country. “
The border officer watched the soldiers under him surround him and kept asking about the scheduling. He covered his mouth in disbelief and said, “Oh damn, what’s going on?”
