From Arms Dealer To King of War

  Chapter 959 Consulting fees are required to solve problems

   If Boss Qiao met these princes alone, he wouldn't say that.

  But now a group of people gathered together by accident, so Boss Qiao can only talk to them heartfeltly.

  For Boss Qiao at this stage, facing these princes, 'sincerity' is the best way to resolve embarrassment!

   Isn't it just spending money to buy peace...

   Spend a lot of money on the old US industrial complex in exchange for them not interfering in your internal affairs and actions, and then you can do whatever you want!

  Speaking of conscience, Qiaojia really doesn't think that these countries can make any big disturbances.

  Based on their performance in Yemen, Boss Joe felt that they could not do great things!

  Boss Joe’s “sincerity” might have moved the princes. They looked at each other in embarrassment for a moment, and then Al-Thani said, “Jackal, it’s not convenient here. Let’s find a place to sit…”

  Joga really didn’t want to get involved in the mess of these people, but because Eric is the leader of the arms purchase at the moment, there will be his commission in it, so he can’t stay out of it completely.

  Seeing the unnatural appearance of a group of princes stepping on the carpet, Choga pointed towards the living room and said, "There is a cigar room in my house, let's go in and have a chat.

   Said brought Cuban cigars, and he bragged to me that the thing was rubbed out by a **** her thigh. You are all knowledgeable people, and you will check it out for me later. "

  De Valli nodded happily, and said: "I like cigars, and I have brought some good cigars, we will try them separately later."

   Qiaojia nodded with a smile and said, "Let's go, everyone, take it easy, the sky won't fall!"

   As he spoke, Choga took the initiative to lead the way ahead, led the princes into the mansion, walked through a long corridor, and then stretched out his hand at the door to let the princes in...

   Said is considered a half-landlord. He was worried that Qiaojia would not understand the relationship between the few people, so he offered to help and greet them.

   But that Tahnoni from Abu Dhabi dragged Choga aside...

   "Jackal, did you forget something?"

  Joga looked at Tahnoni's helpless expression, he spread his hands and said, "What did I forget?"

  Tahnoni shook his head and said: "Ship, the Abu Dhabi Defense Exhibition ended last month. We intend to purchase two 1,600-ton 056 ships. Now we are waiting to negotiate the price."

   Qiao Jia slapped his head, he forgot that he was the agent of CSSC...

  At that time, everyone brainstormed a big plan, but it was stranded due to changes in the situation.

  Big Mouth Tang’s coming to power gave Eric a great deal of room for movement. Now because of the existence of the Pentagon Fraternity and Maguire’s cover, there is no need to go around in circles like in the past...

  Boss Joe moved his mouth, Eric ran errands, and the Brotherhood worked hard, and the DDG(X) 10,000-ton destroyer project team of the US Navy was disturbed...

   Now Erica is on DDG1000, which is the design team of the Zumwalt, and has incorporated the original project team members, established a new destroyer project team, and took over the DDG(X) project.

  They used a model made according to the photo of 055, and with a PPT, they defrauded 5 million early-stage funds.

   Then prepare to make persistent efforts to use the Navy's dislike of Zumwalt to strive for more funds to develop a super destroyer of more than 13,000 tons.

   In fact, it is a fool. With the current military budget of the United States, as well as the strength and scale of the shipyard, they simply have no spare capacity to build a 10,000-ton arsenal ship.

  The orders of those shipyards have been scheduled for ten years, and it is impossible for Dazui Tang to agree to spend money indiscriminately.

   Most importantly, there are more than a dozen orders for Zumwalt, at BIW shipyard.

   There are also people in the higher-ups. If Congress wants to cut this order, it will take a long time to mediate and game.

  But the 13,000-ton large ship is really delicious, and because of the composition of the project team, they will naturally bring up some of the advanced technologies on Zumwalt.

  Joga has never seen Zumwalt, but now the design and construction drawings of this ship, as well as the design drawings of key equipment, are lying on his computer.

  He was going to find an opportunity to ask if he could exchange the blueprints with the old mother for some infrastructure support.

  He wants to make a package plan for railway reconstruction and road construction, and it must be completed within 3 years, which can only be done by the infrastructure company of the old mother's family.

   That's where the plans haven't changed much!

  At that time, everyone was talking about joining forces with Abu Dhabi and three companies to sing double reeds, so that the foreign trade of warships can radiate to the Persian Gulf, and export new standards for destroyers by the way, prompting the old United States to increase investment in this area.

   Now that Boss Joe has penetrated into the United States, and he has a lot of power to speak, it is unnecessary.

  But people in Abu Dhabi are ready to place an order, so this matter really needs to be taken care of.

  Seeing Tahnoni's helpless expression, Qiaojia spread his hands and said, "Okay, leave it to me.

   At that time, I will purchase the shells of the two ships, and then drag them to France to give you a comprehensive renovation, and the delivery will take two years at most.

   Guaranteed to perform better than the original 056 without any hassle.

  You all use NATO weapons, let France modify electronic equipment and weapon systems for you, which is more in line with your needs.

   Look at me being so troublesome, $400 million isn’t too much, right? "

  Tahnoni nodded resolutely, and said: "Not much, I can send you a 50% deposit in advance, but you have to help us solve a little problem."

  Joga smiled thoughtfully after hearing this, then pointed to the cigar room, and said with a smile, "Is the GCC really in trouble?"

  Tahnoni nodded and shook his head again, and said, "It's not that serious...

  We got news that the shale oil industry in the United States may be restarted.

  Their mining costs are very high, and if they want to sell them, they have to ask us to cut production and raise oil prices.

  You should know our situation. For us, reducing oil production at this time is like cultivating competitors.

  We need some countermeasures and accurate news, preferably with the cooperation of Libya and Iraq..."

   Qiaojia clapped his hands and said, "Then you have found the right person!

  Shit, I **** thought that Al Thani and Devali had irreconcilable conflicts, and I was thinking about how to appease them.

  It turns out that what you are worried about is not the issue of spending money to sell arms, but this..."

  Tahnoni listened, nodded with a slightly heavy expression, and said: "Jackal, oil and gas trade is our foundation, once the energy system is shaken, our losses will be huge!

  We must find a way to hold part of the initiative without offending the United States. "

  Choga understands Tahnoni’s difficulties very well. At this stage, OPEC+ is in charge of the United States, and they have a strong ability and motivation to actively control oil prices.

  The main task of Dazui Tang coming to power is to promote the return of industries, but the ultimate goal is actually to stimulate employment.

  Once the shale oil industry starts, it will create hundreds of thousands of jobs. This is a project that he cannot give up.

  The energy group saw this key point, so they prepared to burst the bubble regardless, first harvesting a wave of retail investors, and then earning a lot of money by investing in a down-to-earth manner.

  There is a fundamental conflict between the two sides. There is only so much demand for crude oil, and with the advent of new energy sources, the demand for crude oil will decrease in many years to come.

  The old Americans have already got the cheapness of petrodollars, and they still want to take a bite out of crude oil exports, which makes these oil tycoons unhappy.

  The most important thing is that Laomei's shale oil reserves rank first in the world.

  Once the scale of shale oil exploitation increases, they will have the motivation to upgrade the means of extraction to reduce the cost of extraction.

  Once it succeeds, life will be even more difficult for these local tyrants.

  Seeing Tahnoni's worried appearance, and Devali who came to the door intentionally or unintentionally, Choga suddenly smiled and said: "You actually entrusted such an important matter to me...

   It seems that you have investigated me very clearly, even my affairs in the United States have been investigated clearly. "

  De Valli listened, waved his hand and said: "There is no need to deliberately investigate, in fact, people who are interested can basically make judgments.

  You were too dazzling in Dazuitang's canvassing meeting. You only need to ask someone from Dazuitang to judge your status. "

   Qiaojia nodded suddenly after hearing this...

   This group of people still haven't figured out their own details. They only know that they are members of the Dazui Tang camp, but they don't know that their relationship with the Minister of Justice and the Secretary of State is stronger.

  The most important thing is that the relationship with Tom Reed is deeper. The two hold 15 seats in the House of Representatives, which is definitely a decisive force.

   These people thought they had a lot of influence on Dazui Tang, and they wanted to conduct public relations through themselves, so Tahnoni didn't even blink his eyes when faced with the sky-high price of 400 million for a frigate.

After thoroughly figuring out the demands of these people, Qiaojia walked into the cigar room with a smile, raised his **** at Said with a slightly embarrassed expression, and scolded him with a smile: "Why can't you just say something bluntly? I've been worrying about Al Thani fighting Devali for two **** days."

   Said handed a toasted cigar to Choja, and said helplessly: "What can I do, Harmandan refuses to come, I am a businessman, how dare I intervene in such a big matter!"

  Joga picked up a pair of cigar cutters and cut off one end of the cigar, then lit it and took a puff, letting the rich smoke brew in his mouth for a while, and then gently exhaled it out.

  He took the initiative to pour a glass of 'juice' for each of the princes, and then said: "If you want news, I will tell you what I know.

  The shale oil bubble in the United States will burst in June, and energy groups will restart shale oil exploration projects, with the plan to increase production within three years.

  This involves the issue of employment rate, which is a key project of Dazuitang, and no one can stop it. "

   As he said that, Qiaojia looked at the crowd whose faces suddenly became dark, and said with a smile: "But being unstoppable doesn't mean you can't win a certain amount of autonomy.

  I have a way that allows you to skip OPEC+ and get a certain degree of autonomy.

  With the current price of shale oil extraction, a barrel of oil needs to reach at least $100 before they can achieve large-scale profitability.

  Suppressing oil prices can suppress the expansion of shale oil scale..."

  The princes looked at each other, and Al Thani asked curiously, "How?"

   Qiaojia laughed and said, "What else can I do?

  Your relationship is not good, let the Shah take the lead in breaking diplomatic relations with you and kicking you out of the GCC.

  Then you can form another force outside the GCC. At that time, I will find a way to get Iraq and Libya to cooperate with you...

   It may not be possible to completely control oil prices, but it is still no problem to let oil prices fluctuate like an electrocardiogram.

  Oil prices are unstable, and the determination of American Energy Group to expand its scale will be unstable.

  Everyone stay here, the United States is very torn inside, let’s wait a few years and see..."

  Speaking, Choga looked at the stunned Al Thani, and said with a smile: "You have one-third of the world's natural gas shipments, and you have huge oil reserves.

   Don't you want to act as a bridge?

   Jumping out can just use another posture to deal with the problem, but it reduces a lot of constraints.

  If you think the GCC is very important, just add it back in a few years depending on the situation.

  I can guarantee that the United States is happy to see this situation, because they want you to split up.

  You give them enough geopolitical benefits to offset the trouble of creating oil price volatility. "

   Al Thani and Devali looked at each other, then turned their heads to look at Choga with a soft snort at the same time...

   "Is this okay?"

   Qiaojia said indifferently: "I just want to make a suggestion for the sake of a friend...

   It doesn’t matter if you listen to me or not, just remember to pay the consulting fee..."
