From Arms Dealer To King of War

  Chapter 633 The Right Business

   Qiaojia appeased those Kurds immediately.

   Give them safe shelter, hot food, clean clothes, respect, hope...

   This is Boss Joe's habitual routine. When entering a place, he first pulls some of the strength at the bottom.

  Then he is looking for an opponent, preferably stronger, more resistant to beatings, and able to allow P·B to make the scene a little bigger, so that he can fully display his muscles.

   There is no market for pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger in a chaotic place. If you have a knife, you should show it first, so that those who are not clear-headed can wake up. It is a respect for life.

   In good conscience, the infrastructure of the military base left by the US in Iraq is still reliable.

   Set aside part of the military dormitory for the Kurds to use, and then set aside several large warehouses where arms are placed as restricted areas, and you can do the rest as you like.

  P·B is not a regular army, so there is no need to be so serious. In the future, this air force base will play the role of a logistics hub together with Basra in the south and Mosul in the north.

  Boss Joe’s main source of money is on this channel. As long as ISIS can be driven out, a material logistics channel can be established in Iraq that runs through the north and the south.

  In fact, compared with the huge profits of the oil field, P·B, which is not large enough, will inevitably withdraw from this business after Iraq stabilizes. If an Iraqi government oil field is contracted for him for 8 years, even if he can only get 30% of the income, it is enough.

   This kind of business must be withdrawn if it earns enough, otherwise, people who attract jealousy will find trouble.

  Just like the reason why the old American oil company withdrew from the Shah, a withdrawal mechanism was drawn up, and everyone negotiated a price in an amicable manner, which not only retained dignity but also retained influence.

  This humanitarian channel is more practical and influential for Choga.

  Transform the income from the oil field into materials, and scour this channel at a small profit or even at a low price, and a market will soon be opened.

   This is a well-behaved business, a legitimate business that no one can deprive or criticize.

  Even because of the halo of Princess Emina, if you dare to mention tariffs, you will be sprayed **** by the world media.

  'Most Favored Trading Partner' is the title and treatment that Qiaojia must strive for.

  The middleman will be at the end of this step. When the time comes, Boss Qiao will take advantage of both sides, and that will be the real trickle down.

   This is much safer than his 'little white rabbit' messing around with those black-hearted energy companies.

  Boss Joe’s real estate is in Afica, and that’s where he can fully control.

  In other places, he is just a 'cook' who invites people to dinner. After the job is done, P·B takes some tips from the guests, and then he should leave by rubbing some oil and water on the corners.

  The cook is not on the table!

  Steven and Eric are still keeping their eyes on the oil field business. Only Chris, who understands the cause and effect, has probably touched the context of Boss Joe, and understands that Boss Joe’s ultimate goal has never been the oil field.

  The oil field is only the key point to leverage all the big guys, and it has never been the goal of P·B.

  Recognizing one's abilities and identifying the target at the same time are the prerequisites for 'not being greedy'!

  Chris was completely convinced now, he left the military base with his bodyguards that night, contacted the representatives of the XN faction and the SY faction, and vowed to let them sit honestly on the table arranged by Boss Joe.

  Steven took the Minister of Energy Ahmed who was stranded at the military base to meet Choga.

  The talks between the two sides went very smoothly, because the solution given by Choga was urgently needed by the Iraqi government...

  The general content of the contract is that the contracting rights of the Rumaila oil field under the jurisdiction of the Iraqi government will be handed over to P·B.

  P·B will hold 50% of the equity in the oil field for three years, and then reduce the share by 10% every year, until the remaining 20%, both parties can start a negotiation.

  If the Iraqi government intends to recover the rights and interests of the oilfield, they need to give a termination fee of 20% of the current year’s income*3 based on the oil price at that time, otherwise P·B will continue to hold 20% of the rights and interests for 5 years.

  P·B is responsible for resuming work and production of the oil field, and needs to increase the output of the oil field to 500,000 barrels within one year, and to 800,000 barrels in three years.

  If the production of the oil field does not meet the standard in the absence of war and force majeure, P·B needs to compensate the Iraqi government at a price of 3.5 US dollars per barrel.

  If the production exceeds the predetermined amount, each extra barrel of crude oil P·B will draw 5 dollars as a reward.

  At the same time, P·B needs to provide logistical support for the anti-Isis coalition forces in the first year, and needs to maintain a supply line from south to north by itself.

  As a help to partners, after negotiation between the Iraqi government and the American government, the four military bases left by the U.S. military in Basra, Baghdad, Gayara, and Mosul were handed over to P·B for 4 million yuan.

  This contract still has a lot of content, about the settlement method, about oil for materials, oil for infrastructure...

   Many of the clauses here require activation conditions, but most of them are internal affairs of Iraq.

Boss Joe doesn’t want to get involved in Iraq’s internal affairs. His attitude is that you have to devote at least 30% of the share to the reconstruction of Iraq. This must be on paper, so as to provide me with a stable political situation. .

  I can transfer the remaining share to the account designated by the Iraqi government, and it has nothing to do with me how you use it.

  Ahmed has seen the strength of Choja. The 500 Kurds plus the continuous supply of arms and supplies are actually a bit scary for Iraq today.

  Before this guy only wanted money, and Steven promised him that as long as the contract took effect, he could arrange for his family to go to the United States.

  But now he thinks that I also want money, and it is best not to lose the position of energy minister, because it seems that I can eat for a few more years.

  Compared to Ahmed, that assistant Salim is very excited...

  The conditions proposed by Choga are not harsh. The 'Rumaira Oilfield' has been shut down for a long time, and has experienced many years of war, and there are still militias nearby.

Resuming work not only requires a huge investment, but also needs to balance the interests of those militias, plus the cost of mining. If they follow the content promised by P·B, they probably won't make much money in the first two years, and there are still many small risk.

  Salem, a professional, naturally knows that Boss Joe will come in and pay for the energy company in Lahua, but business accounts can only be calculated on paper, no matter how capable they are, it has nothing to do with you.

  Salim doesn’t really care about Choga making money from Iraq. What he cares about is the hope of integrating Iraq’s oil resources.

  In the eyes of the patriot Salim, Iraq has a huge amount of oil, and the people here should not suffer from poverty.

  End the war and integrate resources. Even if everyone comes in to drink Iraq's blood together, as long as time is enough, Iraq can prosper again.

  The current P·B can provide great help on these two key items.

  It seems that only he can make those European and American energy companies give up their greed and quickly resume work in Iraq's oil fields.

  ………

  Salim didn’t understand that it wasn’t just wars that prevented energy companies from resuming operations, but also local hostility, huge human costs, and most importantly, the local uncertainty caused by the corruption of the Iraqi government.

   And Qiaojia seized this moment to encourage those impatient American energy companies to release the contracting rights.

  It’s very funny to say that the old American tried so hard to kill Lao Sa, but in fact, at this stage, American oil companies only occupy less than 12% of the oil reserves in Iraq.

  The bulk is in the hands of the Russians and the British. The Russians account for 20%, the British and Malaysians account for 38%, and the Huaguo also has 21%.

  These are of course only mining rights, and because the equity of several large oil fields is relatively complicated, most of them cannot be started.

  The old American won the battle but did not go to the oil field with a dead hand, also because he controlled the upstream interests of the currency and actually controlled the Iraqi government.

  The old American energy companies have many good places. There is no oil in their backyard in North America and South America. The infrastructure there is much better than that in Iraq. They don’t have to fight the locals who hate them in Iraq.

So the plan made by Steven passed very smoothly. Everyone happily agreed to Boss Joe's win-win cooperation plan, and joined the lobbying team to urge Congress to pass the $500 million secret fund output, which is to get rid of the dead game. live.

   And the people of Huaguo hope that through Boss Joe, they can really pry open a hole, so that they can actually start work and deliver crude oil to their homes. Otherwise, it’s useless to just take the shares?

  Boss Joe’s oil field business was done by the way, and they won the contracting rights of Laomei’s share, which can save a lot of trouble when crude oil is exported.

  Big corporations have their own position. They must cooperate with the government, and they cannot start wars with local armed factions without authorization.

  To be honest, in Iraq, you can’t beat them without joining the regular army.

   Only companies with the identity of P·B can intervene to balance the benefits of all parties.

  Do big companies care about paying for safety?

   They don't care!

   But they can't be taken advantage of!

   There must be someone who can supervise the implementation of the local armed forces. The Iraqi government does not have this ability, but P·B can!

  Boss Joe is not only willing to share benefits, but also has the ability to punish breach of contract.

  P·B is a mercenary company, and if it really gets into trouble, as long as the rich are willing to pay, he dares to fight the "bandits" in Iraq.

  Combined with the common interests of anti-terrorism, the support P·B can get under such circumstances is beyond the imagination of ordinary people.

  ...

   While Choga was talking to Ahmed, a Panamanian-flagged cargo ship passed the old American aircraft carrier fleet and slowly sailed into the port of Iraq.

Thousands of containers were unloaded at the port, and under the command of a few Chinese with energy company badges, the containers were marked with P·B, and then a large number of local people, under the protection of an armed security guard, began to use Container trucks take those containers to Baghdad.

  This big move made those mercenary tycoons headquartered in Basra a little scared.

  We all know that P·B is the convener of this big business, and everyone waits with suffocation, wishing that Isis will be more jubilant, so as to give them room to raise prices.

   But things seem a little wrong now...
