King Of War: Starting with Arms Dealer

Now everything is fine. His iron mine is continuously producing, and everyone can make money within the steel industry chain.

Once the iron mine runs out in 15~20 years and this industry chain collapses, if Boss Qiao doesn't find a new way out for them, the result could be disastrous.

For Boss Qiao, Sangha Town is the real foundation because there he has Xiao Hei, whom he regards as a gift from heaven, while other places don't compare.

Boss Qiao is about to have a son. Rather than leave the development issues for his son to figure out, he is, of course, keen to solve the problems himself.

Encircling the land in Northern Congo with a railway and directing mining resources towards Sangha Town will elevate the status of Sangha Town significantly.

Compared to the railway, which requires massive investment to be reactivated, Joe Ga is less interested in the islands of Seychelles and the oilfields of Equatorial Guinea.

Seychelles is the wealthiest country in Africa, with a per capita GDP of over 15,000 US Dollars.

But so what?

The islands of Seychelles still have a value, and it certainly won't exceed eight figures.

Equatorial Guinea is the third wealthiest in Africa, with a current per capita GDP of 8,500 US Dollars.

The land area there is very small, only 20,000 square kilometers, but the oil and gas reserves surpass China's. Isn't that infuriating?

Barclayde Company has control over Equatorial Guinea's early electricity and potable water systems.

This kind of company would never invest heavily in such projects, yet Equatorial Guinea can't upgrade the system without them.

This leads to the peculiar situation where Equatorial Guinea has a very high GDP per capita, but people's living standards are underdeveloped, and there's a huge wealth gap.

However, with China's involvement, building the hydroelectric plant depicted on their banknotes and establishing a sewage treatment system, Barclayde's influence has been nearly eradicated.

This is why China's investments in Africa are hated by many.

Compared to their deep exploitation, China's approach of using their excess foreign reserves for aid and conveniently supporting their own infrastructure is damaging to their reputation.

In their view, China not only played the good guy but also fattened their infrastructure enterprises, took away resources while grabbing the market...

Too much!

Barclayde Company can't activate those assets in Equatorial Guinea, investing huge sums to compete with a national capital; Barclayde isn't that crazy.

So they aren't too keen on that oilfield either; it's just that the low oilfield output makes finding a buyer difficult.

These things are different for Boss Qiao. Once acquired, whether it's playing ball with the two oil giants to expand influence, or directly bundling and selling to them, it's all a worthwhile deal.

Claverley clearly conducted a very detailed investigation on Boss Qiao, which is why he made these suggestions.

Sincere enough, with a good eye, and truly considering Boss Qiao.

P·B's size is strictly not big enough, and its financial reserves are not as ample as those of the super giants.

It will take several years to digest the benefits from Congo, and adding more complications to grab things from giant territories, while appearing to gain more, may not actually be beneficial.

Barclayde Company is doomed!

Joe Ga looked at Claverley's hopeful expression. Even though he knew this old guy had a sense of theatrics, he still reached out and said, "Then let's make a deal!

For the compensation issues between Central Africa and Congo, you should negotiate with Francois and Kabila yourself.

I will have someone delay the Africa Court's investigation, and before the investigation ends, I need a 'compensation list,' then I'll watch Barclayde get dismembered."

Saying this, Joe Ga shook Claverley's hand and smiled, "Sir, England's reputation is sometimes mediocre in certain aspects; you won't disappoint me, will you?"

Claverley smiled wryly and shook his head...

Boss Qiao is holding up the Africa Court's investigation, seemingly helping England, but actually still holding the noose.

If England doesn't keep its promise, there will still be big trouble later!

Looking at Joe Ga's clear eyes, Claverley suddenly smiled and said, "Don't worry, you will see our sincerity!

Hu Lang, if you have the opportunity to visit England, you can come to my estate as a guest.

I have a niece who is eager to make some achievements in the charitable world, and her primary target is Africa.

I think you two should have a lot in common!

You young people sometimes have more active minds than us old guys, so you should connect more."

Meanwhile, Boss Qiao was fully focused on that railway, calculating whether he could use the harvest from Equatorial Guinea to have his old mother come over to help renovate that railway...

Upon hearing Claverley's words, he unconsciously nodded and said, "No problem, as long as I have a trip to England, I will definitely come to visit you.

However, if your niece is anxious, I personally welcome her bringing materials and manpower to Africa.

You know, we've faced great difficulties recently due to the Zika virus and Marburg virus."

Claverley, seeing Boss Qiao who seemed distracted yet still managed to set a trap for him, chuckled and said, "Well, I'll go back and talk to Beatrice...

Her love life is really awful, and she needs something meaningful to distract herself.

Princess Charlene and Princess Amina are perfect role models for her to learn from!"

Joe Ga was momentarily stunned and then jokingly said, "I really don't think there's anything commendable about Charlene and Amina's romantic lives...

But you're older; what you say is always right!"

As Joe Ga watched the 'Knight' chatting with Dorian, he laughed and said, "Hey, Knight, want to come with me to check out those SAS captives?

Maybe you should try convincing them that working for me isn't shameful at all!

I've recently expanded my territory and just so happen to need more skilled hands."

'Knight' heard this and replied with a wry smile, "Sir, they were also misled. Can't we let them go back?"

Joe Ga looked at 'Knight' as if he were a fool and said, "Why don't you ask Mr. Claverley here what will happen to them if they go back?"

Seeing the 'Knight' in a daze, Joe Ga waved his hand and said, "Come on, while Mr. Claverley is available, let's go take a look together.

If they really want to leave, I'm not going to stop them. After all, well-intentioned advice is hard to heed for those bent on self-destruction...

Once we're done, I'll let you all go to arrange the British Ambassador's funeral, where there happen to be a few people I'm interested in.

I'll then bring them directly to the mansion in the wealthy district for 'isolation'..."

Hearing this, Claverley looked at the 'ruthless and unforgiving' Boss Qiao, amusingly said, "Hu Lang, that's enough!

The Marburg virus is terrifying; dead people won't sell minerals to you cheaply..."

Boss Qiao nonchalantly replied, "The Marburg virus death rate is only 10~20%. I have to let them fully feel the pain of those innocent civilians.

What's a little less gain compared to that?

The minerals will still be on Congo's land; they won't grow legs and run away!"

Saying this, Joe Ga grinned viciously and said, "I have to let the outside world understand the rules here. If you make things difficult for me, I'll make them twice as hard for you.

If you make the locals gamble with their lives, I'll place your life on the gambling table too.

In the past, no one cared about those locals. Now that I'm here...

The rules have to change!

I promised my partners to bring change to this unfortunate place!

I keep my promises!"
