King Of War: Starting with Arms Dealer

Gami Kopurko's sudden appearance was somewhat unexpected for Joe Ga, but the lady had left such a good impression on him that the surprise was delightfully more overwhelming.

Moreover, it was clear that Gami was far more reliable in financial matters than Eric.

Learning to share profits, and to share them with talented people, was a business philosophy that had repeatedly brought Joe Ga sweet rewards.

Gami Kopurko definitely fit the definition of 'excellent'!

In the car on the way to the rescue center, Joe Ga took the initiative to invite his assistant Linda and the lawyer Jori Amon into his car. Your adventure continues at empire

The explosive-tempered girl Linda was a wealthy elite from the upper echelons of Central Africa, her work capacity in Central Africa was by no means inferior to Joe Ga's actual assistant Lenore.

Within just a few days, Linda had set up a store for Joe Ga's tourism company in Ndele, and even acquired an old lodge, which was undergoing rapid renovations to provide future tourists with a place to stay.

Jori Amon had just returned from Ethiopia, having spent a long time at the African Union Headquarters single-handedly negotiating with a host of African elite politicians and spending $800,000 of Joe Ga's money to finally secure a loan from the African Union Development Bank.

Originally, this $800,000 expense might have required several times the amount, but Joe Ga voluntarily restricted the use of the $300 million loan and proactively invited the people from the African Union to participate in supervising its use...

This unconventional approach was unprecedented for the people at the African Union.

A businessman comes to Africa to neither dominate the market, strip the resources, nor use financial maneuvers to loot wealth.

Invest, invest, invest!

Joe Ga continually invested in Central Africa and promised that, aside from the expenses for iron mine construction, a considerable portion of the $300 million would be used to improve infrastructure in the south of Central Africa, and he was willing to accept supervision.

While there were some interest-free loans and debt relief provisions, this already constituted an exceptionally conscientious entrepreneur.

Africa wasn't without talent; they could see the potential in such actions, and the vast profits they could generate in the future.

The benefits of such economic uplift, brought about by the formation of industrial chains, were so immense they were beyond the ordinary person's imagination.

Industries such as manufacturing, real estate, services, and so forth, would all experience explosive growth due to an increase in local income, which would, in turn, create even more employment opportunities!

The essence of money is 'circulation'; if the total value of the steel industry chain is assumed to be only 'one billion US dollars' per year, but you earn it and then take it abroad, it is of no use to the country.

The same 'one billion US dollars', if spent domestically and used locally, could benefit all industries.

This circulating 'one billion US dollars' will create an oasis of wealth wherever it flows, generating assets worth 10 billion, or even 20 billion US dollars, creating a large middle class.

This 'tremendous profit', the real beneficiaries are all Central Africans.

As the 'source', Joe Ga ate into the fattest part of the industry profits, but so what?

Joe Ga's determination to expand his business empire was overwhelmingly strong!

This sent a profound shock through the members of the African Union!!

The political systems in Africa, inherited from Europe and America, are imbued with a heavily localized democratic system, which leads to perpetual instability in their governance.

It wasn't that they lacked insightful people, but they were powerless, because even if they became president, their political influence wasn't sufficient to establish a lasting plan.

Since they were powerless, naturally, the capable ones chose to plunder a sum and then take it with them to enjoy life in Europe and America.

And the money they took away made those countries' situations even worse.

In Africa, corruption isn't scary; what's terrifying is when you transfer all the money you've embezzled out of the country.

In fact, no matter how much you embezzle but spend it domestically, at the very least, you can be called a 'consumption hero' because essentially, you've supported a lot of people; but when you take the money away, what about the people from your own country?

Most African countries are caught in this vicious cycle.

In the past, Central Africa was in a mess, but lately, their president has been tirelessly advocating at the United Nations and the African Union Headquarters, seeking more aid to support Joe Ga's grand plans and endeavor to make a deep mark in the history of Central Africa.

Everyone has ambitions; when poor, people want money, but when money is no longer the main worry, they start seeking fame.

Joe Ga, a foreigner from afar, comes to help you fight, sell you arms, invest heavily, and help you make your cake. If even then you still drag your feet, that's truly a life not worth living!

The president of Central Africa now embodies 'the conscience of the people'!

This is the power of 'hope'!

Compared to the spirited president of Central Africa, Congo's big shots are nearly maddened with jealousy.

How the hell is this acceptable?

Whether it's population, resources, or money, Congo holds the advantage, so why should Central Africa take all the benefits?

The base at P·B is located on the border between Central Africa and Congo, Hu Lang belongs to Central Africa, and also to Congo, but ultimately he should be Congo's, because we have more capital and more need...

Lawyer Jori Amon indeed seems to have shaken things up of late, Joe Ga had seen his photograph on the front pages of at least six African media outlets.

Unable to reach Joe Ga, who was in the midst of battle, many big shots in Congo bombarded Jori Amon with phone calls, leaving the lawyer flattered and a little afraid at the same time.

He stayed in the Congo Government's official residence in Ethiopia, used the Congo Government's diplomatic vehicles, and even the company for the night was beautiful women from Congo.

In the end, with no other choice, he called the boss for help. Subsequently, he signed a formal training contract for 500 people with Congo, along with an arms purchase agreement.

He also 'incidentally' helped the boss establish a mining company with a peculiar shareholder structure, promising to consolidate six tantalum mines in North Kivu Province of Congo within two years.

A year ago, Jori Amon couldn't imagine he would be where he was today; back then, he was just a civil lawyer, with his proudest achievement being that he was once an honored guest of the President of Mali.

But that Mali President, who had come to power through a coup, discarded him like blowing one's nose and nearly cost him and his family their lives.

But now?

At an African Union meeting in Addis Ababa, Jori Amon once again met the Mali President, who had come seeking assistance from the African Union...

This time, he stood tall and proud in the face of the former 'big shot', with all disappointment and resentment gone, because he realized he was part of a much greater and more meaningful cause!

For those politicians immersed in Africa's minor squabbles, Joe Ga Amon now felt somewhat contemptuous.

Joe Ga listened to Jori Amon's report in the car and then signed his name on a loan agreement and several investment agreements.

Seeing the boss decisively sign on the development report for Sangha Town Road Pier, Jori Amon hesitated before saying, "Boss, you're giving too much; this shouldn't be your responsibility."

Joe Ga laughed it off, saying, "The development of Sangha needs to be accelerated; otherwise, I am worried that my funds won't last until the day of success.

However, it definitely won't work if I take on the road pier alone. We'll fund the pier by ourselves, but for the road, we need to bring in the surrounding tribes.

Go and find Lenore later. Have her organize the Central African Government to take the lead, and negotiate with the people from the tribes so they can also contribute a portion of the funds and manpower.

I suggest you talk to my friend Old Zhu. My Kenya base has just been finished, and he has ample technical resources.

Chinese excel in infrastructure, but those major projects are too costly if subcontracted out.

Contact Old Zhu and see if he's interested in setting up a company in Central Africa. I'll fund him, and he'll manage the operations. Hiring a large number of local workers will not only reduce costs but also increase employment.

I've circled some land plots, just waiting for the locals to make a fortune and scoop another sum from real estate."

Recalling the boss's personally designed tubular community that could accommodate 200,000 people, Jori Amon couldn't figure out how they could sell for 20,000 US dollars each. But it was always good that the boss was optimistic—as there surely wouldn't be a loss.

Respectfully nodding and taking note of the boss's instructions, Jori Amon organized the documents in hand, unable to help but look at Joe Ga's profile and say, "Thank you, boss!"

Joe Ga was taken aback for a moment, glanced at Jori Amon, whose hair was somewhat whiter, but his spirits still high, and smiled, "Thank me for what?"

Jori Amon pursed his lips and after a thought said, "Perhaps for showing me another way to live, for helping me understand that a life spent doing meaningful work is more valuable."

Joe Ga heard this and laughed out loud, saying, "Of course, when you do things not just for yourself, you naturally find supporters."

But I heard you've been taking several AIDS tests recently and have continuously been taking antiretroviral drugs. Buddy, you need to take it easy—the girls in Congo are not that safe."

Upon hearing this, Jori Amon glanced at Linda, who was sitting in the front seat and turned to look at him, and said with a bitter smile, "Those big shots from Congo were too enthusiastic. Honestly, even as a local, I was terrified waking up in a hotel bed cluelessly.

Boss, I'd rather not deal with the follow-ups with Congo.

I always thought dealing with these politicians was fulfilling, but recently, I've realized that once they let down their guard, they become too zealous."

Joe Ga, hearing this, glanced at Jori Amon's bandaged left hand, patted him on the shoulder with a smile and said, "Taking 30,000 dollars from the Congolese and losing a little finger is a good deal.

Don't blame me for being harsh; in reality, I just had your bodyguard break one of your fingers, but who knew he'd misunderstand.

Buddy, you yourself said that your current job gives you a sense of achievement, so you should consciously resist the temptation of outside money.

The salary at P·B isn't high, but in Africa, it's definitely enough for a family to live decently.

Thirty thousand is actually a small amount, but I worry if you can't stop yourself, I'll have no choice but to take your head."

Jori Amon took this seriously and said with a nod, "I remember, which is why I didn't go to the hospital to reattach the finger, but instead, I've kept it as a memento.

Boss, you might not believe it, but I was actually relieved at that time!"

Joe Ga looked at Jori Amon and nodded slightly, saying, "That's good to hear!

Remember, eating and drinking are fine, but don't take money—because no matter how much you take, you'll have to give double in return from the company.

This is Africa, taking money means you're obliged to deliver, or the consequences are severe!

You're talented, and I hope you can live longer and with dignity!"
