From Arms Dealer To King of War

  Chapter 991 French Naval Group

  Steven is a little used to Boss Joe's various bizarre practices now...

   Anyway, this guy hasn't lost so far!

  Facing Joe’s boss’ request, Steven took the initiative to find Jorge Andres and Mathias.

   There is no need for him to do anything out of the ordinary. At this stage, he only needs to verbally express a little support. If there is a chance in the future, it is enough to call and ask to see them when meeting with the Brazilian upper class.

  Boss Joe made things clear, so he stopped talking nonsense to them.

  The business plan is there, and the only obstacle is whether the government agencies represented by Jorge Andres are willing to work hard.

  In contrast, in this business model, the most difficult financial issues and personnel management issues are actually the simplest.

  Boss Joe planned to spend 500 million dollars in it in the early stage in order to make the "kitten" smile.

  The materials needed for each link are ready-made, and you can buy them from Huaguo as long as you pay.

  The remaining personnel management is the easiest part for a company with gangsters as the main skeleton.

  When the big brother of the gangster is on the line of the little brother of the rider, they can be regarded as conscientious not to deduct the salary of the rider. Under the deterrence of the big brother, the little rider must work hard.

  Including those hypocritical guests, it is estimated that there will not be too much nonsense.

  The food delivery industry is not just as simple as improving employment, there are many derivative industries that can be added to it.

  The most direct one is motorcycle or electric car...

  The oil price in Brazil is not high, and the demand for tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of motorcycles is a huge profit.

  Not to mention the catering packaging industry...

   This thing is like selling shovels in a gold mine. It is an absolutely profitable business.

   This is also the main profit project that Boss Joe prepared for Anderson. It looks inconspicuous, but the profit is definitely not low.

  In addition to these two items, there are also profit points like advertising...

   Tens of thousands of brothers in a city are delivering food. How much should they charge for advertising on their cars and clothes?

  A company with so many employees, there are too many places to create benefits!

  The practice of using gangsters as the skeleton allows the company to lower labor costs and at the same time build a job moat for those in the slums.

  Starting a company and managing talents is the most difficult part, but from another perspective, it is not difficult to manage people by fully mobilizing the ability of gangsters.

   It sounds a bit rude to do this, but for those poor people, just save enough money and leave.

  This is Boss Joe’s habitual practice. The most difficult things must be shared. Let everyone share the responsibility, which will not only increase their sense of responsibility, but also increase their sense of belonging.

  The bulk of the money is placed in P·B Bank and Jialiang Trading!

  This business model only needs to hire an experienced manager, control costs and internal corruption, and be responsible for its own profits and losses.

  Boss Joe didn't avoid people when he was bragging in the reception room.

   From time to time, someone passed by and took a look, and finally compiled a complete business plan, which began to circulate among the elites in the clubhouse.

  Basically everyone who heard Boss Joe’s business plan couldn’t help but gave a thumbs up but shook their heads.

  All of you here are people with positions. They need to be responsible for their own country and business. Business plans like Boss Joe’s can’t be passed by them anyway.

   But this does not prevent these people from understanding the meaning, and at the same time admire Boss Joe's heart and courage!

  Even if people like this can’t be friends, they must get acquainted if they have the chance.

  Pierre from France was originally a friend. He took Boss Joe and walked into the circle of the French business group under the applause of everyone, and introduced him one by one...

  The focus is on Just Fontaine, the head of the French Naval Group.

  This energetic old man with a big nose can be called flattering to Boss Joe.

  The old man, who was almost seventy years old, kissed and gnawed on Boss Joe, and kept praising P·B for being a great company.

   Then enthusiastically pulled Boss Joe to find a sofa in the corner and sat down, and began to chatter and brag to him about the strength of the French Naval Group and the advanced level of its products.

  Boss Joe hadn’t fully woken up from the grand plan he had drawn just now. After being polite and dealing with it for a while, he realized that Just Fontaine was selling a warship to himself.

  Of course he wouldn't expect Boss Joe to place the order, but the sales channel in Boss Joe's hands.

   Abu Dhabi ordered 4 056 frigates from Joe's boss, with a total price of 1.6 billion US dollars.

   It's not a matter of jealousy anymore, it's a huge deal that makes eyes bleed.

  The transaction process was all completed through Boss Joe. 056, whose actual price was less than 120 million US dollars, was sold for a sky-high price of 400 million US dollars.

  Everyone thinks that the people in Abu Dhabi are out of their minds, but after sending people to contact them in private, they found that they are just happy, even if they know that 056 is not worth so much money, they are also happy.

  At this time, anyone with a little common sense understands that there must be some private transactions between Abu Dhabi and Boss Joe.

   Just Fontaine didn't understand Boss Joe's status among several super local tycoons in the Middle East until he came to Brazil to figure out the Yemen plan.

  He alone is a terrifying sales channel!

   Such a person is still of Monaco nationality. The French Ministry of Commerce and Industry did not have close cooperation with him in the past, but instead held him back in Sangha Town, which made Just Fontaine extremely dissatisfied!

  4 premium frigates, the French Naval Group has not received such a high-profit order for many years...

   Now it's all right, Huaguo will deliver four hulls within two years, and then send them to the shipyard under the French Naval Group, and let them be responsible for completing the installation of electronic equipment and weapon systems.

  Although the order value is still as high as about 360 million US dollars, how can it be better than directly winning?

  French Naval Group (DCNS) is the same as Mikoyan Design Bureau in Great Russia, there is no order!

  DCNS designed and manufactured the Mistral class, the Horizon class, the Aquitaine class, and the Charles de Gaulle aircraft carrier.

  They are genuine giant companies controlled by French state-owned assets, and they have always been major exporters in the past.

  It's a pity that the giants also need to bow their heads to the market. With the passage of time and the advancement of technology, the increasingly terrifying construction costs and maintenance prices of large ships have discouraged most countries in the world.

   Those who have the ability and need can build it themselves, such as Italian shipyards, and they will also participate in market competition.

  Other buyers, such as India, are too deeply influenced by England, and Naval Group cannot grab orders.

  The orders they have now are several low-profile 'light chasing wind-class' offshore patrol ships ordered by the European Union and Argentina. For this reason, they still worry that customers may not be able to pay the final payment at any time.

  Boss Joe got four shells for them to modify. To be honest, it’s a bit insulting, but the $360 million is really delicious.

  Just Fontaine intends to cooperate with Boss Joe in depth. As long as there is an order for three or five ordinary "Wind Chaser" ships, the life of Naval Group will be much easier in the next few years.

  The financial situation of the French government at this stage is too bad. The major arms sales groups urgently need to find new profit points, otherwise problems will arise sooner or later.

  Boss Qiao dealt with it a little absent-mindedly. He didn't have much interest in the French Naval Group, because their asking price was really too high!

   The order to modify 056 was given to them because of the need to maintain the relationship with France, otherwise the Italian would be the ideal partner for Boss Joe.

Just Fontaine had been chatting with Boss Joe about the development history of Naval Group, and when he found that Boss Joe was a little absent-minded, the old man said with a smile: "Jackal, you are the most capable young man I have ever met, on my behalf Naval Group invites you to visit our headquarters.

  France has the world's top shipbuilding technology, and we can meet any of your needs. "

  Joga probably guessed Just Fontaine's attempt to hold him, he waved his hand and said: "Sir, I am personally willing to cooperate with Naval Group, but to be honest, the profit of cooperation with you is not high enough.

  The reason why I can make a lot of money in the transaction with Abu Dhabi is actually a kind of compensation for me to give up other profits.

  You should know the price of my cooperation with Abu Dhabi. The actual cost of 1600 tons of 056 is only 120 million US dollars.

   It is also a light frigate, how much does the 1,400-ton "light chasing wind class" and the 3,000-ton "wind chasing class" cost? "

  Just Fontaine sighed when he heard this, and said, "Jackal, you can't just look at the price, the standard of our warships is world-class.

   If you can really help us sell it, I can lower the price of the ultra-light displacement 1400-ton "wind chaser" to about 150 million US dollars.

  Ordinary 3,000-ton ‘Wind Chaser’, our normal external selling price without weapons is 400 million U.S. dollars, if you…”

   Qiaojia shook his head decisively and said, "Sir, I'm sorry!

  In some things, I can accept not making money or even losing a little bit, but in the pure arms business, I have to respect the laws of the market.

  I personally like French warships very much. They are indeed beautiful and advanced, but I can’t do business that doesn’t make money.

  However, if our cooperation can be a complete success this time, I believe there will be similar cooperation between us in the future. "

   Just Fontaine shook his head with a smile and said, "Jackal, don't rush to reject me...

   Maybe you don't know us well enough, I'm not in a hurry, I believe our sincerity can impress you.

   Well, I know you have a deep influence in Greece and they are looking to retrofit their own frigates.

   We have participated in the bidding, but the feedback so far has not been very good.

  If you can help us qualify for the final stage, or even help us win the order, I will give you extra rewards. "

  Joga heard this, frowned and raised his palms, and said, "I'm sorry, I have to make a phone call first...

   I don't promise what I can't do! "
