King Of War: Starting with Arms Dealer

Joe Ga looked amusingly at the anxious Al Sani, shook his head and said, "Actually, you already have direction, it's just that you haven't shown enough determination."

Al Sani shrugged and said, "Hu Lang, what exactly are you talking about?"

"The World Cup!"

Joe Ga looked at the stunned Al Sani and said with a smile, "You won the hosting rights for the World Cup as early as 2010 for 2022, but how many of your stadiums have been completed so far?

Have you prepared to host visitors from all around the world?

Are you ready to showcase your country to the world?"

Al Sani thought for a moment and said, "I honestly don't know much about this, just that these projects are underway.

My brothers are handling these things; they're a bit more passionate about football.

They do intend to expand Qatar's influence through the World Cup...

But this kind of exposure can't create direct political influence, can it?

Brazil hosted the World Cup in '14, yet they're still terrible now!"

Joe Ga chuckled at Al Sani's words; it's fine for ordinary people to mock Brazil because things are quite terrible there, but for Qatar to mock Brazil is pretty funny.

In terms of political influence, Brazil, as a BRICS nation, is leaps and bounds ahead of Qatar.

Brazil is the leader of South America, while Qatar, despite having abundant oil and gas resources, lives in constant caution.

Joe Ga laughed and said, "The value of the World Cup isn't just about exposure, especially for Qatar!

Getting the world to know you is important, but have you considered that to present your best self under the scrutiny of global media requires massive infrastructure investment?

Infrastructure, real estate, technology, finance, services—you know how much this all costs?

And have you thought about the fact that these are valuable assets that can attract global companies through tender invites?

Capital naturally seeks profit, and the World Cup is a super advertisement; outside investment will therefore appreciate significantly.

As long as you exhibit your determination to the capital, they'll maintain your interests until the asset values depreciate."

Seeing Al Sani's surprise, Joe Ga said with a smile, "You don't even have the ability to build stadiums yourself, so you need to invite global tenders.

Bring in the best designers, the best construction teams.

If I were you, I would start shaping the momentum now, striving for 'world's best' in everything artificial!

Volume, height, technological content, cost, even if your stadium's bathroom is bigger than other countries', it counts!

The effect of 'being the best' naturally attracts attention, and Sayyid can testify to this.

Dubai's Burj Khalifa has many floors without furnishing, but people associate it with Dubai.

Once you have this eyeball effect, you can attract international capital.

If you dare to boast, people will dare to believe; as interest grows, assets can appreciate.

Buddy, even though I don't have much funds, if you have the determination to make a grand spectacle, I'm confident I can mobilize France and England's capital to enter Qatar.

The American Sharks won't need reminders, as they won't miss the opportunity.

As long as you can retain that capital, who in the Persian Gulf would dare to meddle without reason?

Buddy, bribing one person is never as effective as aligning them on the same path.

If you can achieve this, international capital is your natural firewall!

Speaking boldly, the Shah is only arrogant in the Middle East; their own citizens don't live particularly well.

The Arab Spring didn't topple the Shah because they had a big brother in the United States, but if they fall out with America and fail to find a new ally, they are in danger themselves!

You and the United Arab Emirates benefit in this regard because you have little population but plenty of oil!"

Mr. Qiao has a talent for identifying core problems, and thanks to his long-term dealings with giants, he's accustomed to stretching his thoughts and strategy, leading to extraordinary problem-solving avenues.

Ordinary people's thought processes are linear!

For instance, if I feel a bully is eyeing my business, a layman would either give up some profits to the bully or find a big brother to protect them.

But Joe Ga's choice is to brag and enlarge his business, then promise high returns and proceed to borrow money from everywhere.

Once borrowed enough, the creditors become your natural moat; those bullies would have to consider if their own bones are strong enough before causing trouble!

Joe Ga is not exaggerating when he says if Al Sani can prove Qatar's grand ambition, he can get Gami to mobilize French capital and English capital through banks to pursue gains.

With 5 years until 2022, if some of the French and English funds could stay in Qatar, the pressure from Congo would be much lessened.

This is a win-win in a grand strategy!

Mr. Qiao is accustomed to finding benefits from a higher perspective, and this is the 'common interest' he seeks beyond the 4 billion contract!

P·B and Qatar's common interests, including P·B and the capital groups' common interests...

Investing in Qatar is surely profitable!

Once bringing them profits in Qatar, Mr. Qiao's space for maneuvering in Congo will greatly expand.
