King Of War: Starting with Arms Dealer

With Venezuela's oil and domestic agricultural resources, they have the conditions to establish a communist society, which they once did.

Unfortunately, under the rules set by others, trying to break free without the resolve to overturn everything, 'revolution' is destined to be futile.

This is not the first time Boss Qiao has heard of such a company. There are actually domestic asset management companies that have taken over a large number of non-performing assets, but he truly didn't realize that such companies could trade on the level of buying and selling a country.

In Boss Qiao's impression, such companies, their managers are bound to be hanged from street lamps sooner or later.

Actually, with P·B's influence and investment in Central Africa, it is enough for Boss Qiao to completely control this country.

But as a Chinese person, he never thought in that direction.

He always thought about controlling a point, then leveraging that point to mobilize external funds to enlarge the pie.

Even though he's the largest investor in Sangha Town, he initially handed over the rights to operate and manage those infrastructures to the Sangha Town government.

Initially, he was just aiming to maximize his iron ore interests, but eventually, he gained a thriving city, the will of the people, and a new market covering millions.

Boss Qiao is the uncrowned king of Central Africa, but never thought about taking Central Africa's infrastructure.

Because in his mind, its role is to serve people, and losing money, which shouldn't be his responsibility.

Even after Claverley briefed him on Banklad's operating model, he still couldn't imagine how this company makes money?

Claverley probably also did not expect Boss Qiao to be so 'ignorant'...

He hesitated for a moment and tentatively said, "Hu Lang, what are your thoughts now?"

Joe Ga spread his hands and said, "I'm wondering, what exactly does Banklad Asset Management Company want?

By unsettling Congo and using a virus to block Central Africa, what can it gain?

What I understand least is how they can make money by taking over the supposed fundamental project operations?"

Claverley listened and suddenly burst into laughter...

This old guy, sitting on the sofa, laughed back and forth. Nearly a minute later, he wiped the saliva from the corner of his mouth somewhat awkwardly and said, "Hu Lang, you've created an incredible situation in Central Africa and the North-Kivu Province of Congo. Don't tell me you know nothing about these things.

From what I know, your bank has provided the vast majority of mortgage loans to the North-Kivu Province.

Once the North-Kivu Province government goes bankrupt, and the Congo Government can't provide assistance, then you'll be the actual owner of the infrastructure and mineral resources in North-Kivu Province.

You're asking me how to make money?"

Upon hearing this, Joe Ga suddenly realized...

Infrastructure is the engine booster for other industries, maintaining the infrastructure even at a slight profit or no profit can keep the population, maintain stability, and ensure the normal operation of other industries.

No wonder Banklad Company's book market value is only 4 billion British Pounds because most of the infrastructure assets they control actually require long-term investment.

And holding onto these assets firmly grips the discourse power...

I can at any moment turn your country into a mess, so when my subsidiary or partner wants to acquire some profitable industries or resources, would you dare to challenge me?

At this point, Joe Ga turns back to see that compared to his bank, Banklad is actually not considered a giant.

But in reality, Banklad's model is much more clever and safer.

Imagine, the same North-Kivu Province, once Boss Qiao takes over most of the industries there, once someone incites riots, Boss Qiao would definitely be the one hanging from street lamps.

And Banklad Company, it can put on a guise of innocence, telling everyone, I'm here to help you.

These Europeans and Americans use economics and sociology to establish an extremely complex system.

Looking at any angle locally, you'll think it's reasonable.

As long as you've adapted to their rules, then to break them, you'll first face enormous internal differences.

This is the experience accumulated by Europe and America from the colonial to post-colonial era, countries without such experience simply can't compete with them.

In this aspect, the Americans are instead simple, they straightforwardly stipulate, if you take my aid, you must establish a political system according to my requirements.

While those European powers seek implicit rule!

In this aspect, England is particularly experienced!

Comparatively, the soft control of England is more effective and concealed than France's hard control in finance and industry.

Among 18 African Commonwealth Nations, at least a third have developed relatively well.

Countries like Namibia, Botswana have infrastructures that are not too bad, but there aren't many wealthy locals there, and the poor still make up the majority, and they are truly poor!

This hidden exploitation is very deadly, sometimes even making locals feel like they're the problem.

Then someone starts clinging to rules set by others, writing works and research reports, and desperately studying.

Taking the answers given by others to reverse them, trying to find a way to save himself, yet never considering, maybe some things are fundamentally out of tune with oneself.

This is outrageous but very real!

The most ridiculous thing is, seeing Claverley's behavior, England itself doesn't seem to have gained much from Banklad Company.

Enlightened, Boss Qiao looks at Claverley with a smiling face, rubs his throbbing temples, and says, "Alright, I somewhat understand now, Banklad is a leading Shark.

Just like Soros, once he finds a weakness in his opponent, he can unite many international capitals to enter and share the spoils.

Now it's been caught, so it can go die!

Such a behemoth falling will leave a lot of meat behind."

Claverley nodded and said, "Now you've trapped a bunch of Sharks in a mansion, making them face the threat of the virus day by day.

Hu Lang, you've already won!

The virus released by Banklad Company has become a noose around their own neck."

Having said that, Claverley looks at Joe Ga with appreciation and says, "Hu Lang, your smartest move was not to simply use violent means to untangle, so others couldn't target you with methods outside of the rules.

But you need to consider carefully, when you show enough scale, in the future the means your opponents use against you will upgrade.

Banklad Company is actually not too powerful, otherwise, they wouldn't focus on such a bad place like Congo.

But Congo's status in the world mining industry is really not low, once integration is completed, with your current development speed, you will sooner or later touch the sphere of influence of those true giants…"
