From Arms Dealer To King of War - #1375 - Chapter 1367: planning
Chapter 1367 Planning
Building a space center is not a whim, but the current P·B objectively needs the space center.
Because no matter how Boss Qiao himself mediates, the scale and influence of P.B. are now so large that they need to be targeted.
The American election was coming to an end, and Qiao Jia received clear information from Eric. Because Big Mouth Tang repeatedly ignored the interests of his allies, and finally failed to get the support of the Reed family, who was also a Republican, he lost the votes of two important western states. vote.
The final statistical results have not yet come out, but Qiao Jia has determined that this guy has lost.
Eric sent back information from the United States, and the countdown to the listing of P·B’s American branch has entered.
At the same time, because Boss Qiao split up P·B in advance, it aroused strong dissatisfaction among many people. Soon a committee will be established to investigate P·B’s global industry and human rights issues. The purpose is to use political means to continuously Add obstacles to Boss Qiao and prevent P.B.’s influence from continuing to expand outwards.
Make it clear that P.B. is transforming towards space exploration, and investing money equally in aerospace research units around the world will help alleviate the pressure that Boss Qiao is currently facing.
Build a so-called space center, then throw a lot of money into it, invite as many countries and organizations as possible that are willing to participate in the lunar exploration project, express your determination for external exploration clearly, and make your position clear, and then you can effectively alleviate the problem. Those politicians have PTSD about P·B.
And for Boss Qiao, now is the best time to invest. Due to the impact of the virus, the medical protective products that started in Sangha Town only more than a year ago have already been sold out.
While Boss Qiao made a lot of money, problems occurred in global trade, which caused huge liquidity problems and triggered serious inflation.
When Boss Qiao is determined to buy the bottom, those technology companies that are still breathing a sigh of relief cannot stop him.
The United States can restrict P·B from acquiring technology companies through sanctions, but it cannot restrict an NPO non-profit organization called “Looking at the Stars” that Monica established in advance.
This organization has set up offices in the homes of the five big brothers around the world, with a large amount of funds stationed there. The purpose is to fund some important scientific research institutions and enterprises and figure out the aerospace industry…
Soon Boss Qiao will issue a ‘moon base feasibility project bidding’. As long as the project can be hyped up, the interest of people in the industry can be mobilized, and then the feasibility project will be split into small projects one by one through outsourcing. , let professionals find ways to solve the problem.
With the foundation of the robot project, it is entirely possible to realize the lunar base project with the current level of science and technology.
Boss Qiao never thought of becoming a fat man in one go, and he didn’t have that much money…
But as long as a part of the funds are burned and the feasibility project is recognized by most people in the industry, he can draw a big pie for everyone with a PPT and feasibility report, and leverage one point to leverage a project that may involve trillions. A huge real industry in the U.S. dollar.
The stars and the sea in Boss Qiao’s eyes are not about flying a spaceship into the universe to fight aliens…
Leverage new industries, create jobs as much as possible, and stimulate vitality. This is the “sea of stars” that Boss Qiao wants!
The “sea of stars” that cannot bring benefits to most people is meaningless!
The moon project and even the Mars project are nothing more than a bargaining chip for Boss Qiao to achieve his goal.
Whether it is led by him in the end, or whether P·B can obtain huge benefits from it, actually does not matter at all!
The title of ‘initiator’ is enough to keep P·B and Jackal in human history!
Put another way, P·B burns money first, and then lets more people burn money together.
Regardless of the outcome, as soon as the money is burned, many migrant workers will benefit!
This was impossible to achieve in the past, but when the virus epidemic led to a decline in global trade and economic problems led to a drop in demand, the huge amount of international financial liquidity needed a place to go to meet their needs for value preservation and appreciation.
At that time, as long as companies and individuals rely on aerospace to make money, in order to obtain sufficient funds, they will not need to be mobilized by Boss Qiao. They will jump out and talk about the prospects of the lunar base, and then use their own technology to occupy a share of the feasibility plan. location to conduct financing research and development.
In order for capital to generate income from their own funds, what they have to do is not argue with scientists about whether it will succeed in the end, but package the project and earn back the money through bonds or other secondary markets.
The first step that Boss Qiao takes is not to seek support from the technology industry, but to stimulate the liquidity of financial capital through drawing pie, indirectly driving the technology industry to move closer to his own pie, and find a group of ‘alliance’.
In the final analysis, Boss Qiao does not understand aerospace technology, and his approach to solving problems is that of a politician.
As for placing the space base in Somalia instead of Gabon, which has better infrastructure, it’s not that Boss Qiao wants to take advantage of it, but that Kismayo in Somalia is more in line with P·B’s needs…
Somalia’s neighbor Ethiopia, the civil war caused by election issues began last year and has entered a feverish state this year.
The United Nations peacekeeping force, which is mainly composed of Ugandan and Rwandan soldiers, has been in Ethiopia for almost two years, but it has not played a big role in solving the internal situation in Ethiopia.
The President of Ethiopia has repeatedly tried to invite P·B to help through Central African President Francois.
However, the entire African Union has remained silent this time, because this civil war was caused by democratic elections, and the legitimacy of the current government has been questioned.
Everyone knows that there are European and American agents behind the opposition, but before an unacceptable humanitarian disaster occurs, Boss Qiao simply cannot find a suitable position to intervene. Five years ago, P·B could openly negotiate conditions with the Ethiopian government, but now P·B’s goal is too big…
Once this precedent is set, people will worry that the political change in Afika will be easily manipulated by P·B.
The premise for the African Union to be extremely friendly to P·B is that P·B will not interfere in their internal affairs without authorization.
Boss Qiao will not commit such taboos, but it does not mean that he is willing to see the Ethiopian regime turn to Europe and the United States.
Because P.B.’s people have been fighting Al-Shabaab in Somalia for nearly two years. The ground team led the Somali National Defense Force, which not only compressed the scope of Al-Shabaab’s activities, but also helped Somalia restore some agricultural and commercial facilities.
The premise that P·B can be so relaxed is that the Ethiopian National Defense Force has been cooperating to reduce the activity space of Al-Shabaab.
Somalia is very important to Boss Qiao’s business activities in the Gulf of Aden, and P·B cannot give up Somalia.
Once the Ethiopian regime changes and gives up the fight against Al-Shabaab, Somalia will become a quagmire again, trapping the troops that P·B invested early.
At that time, it will become a bottomless pit!
Faced with this situation, Boss Qiao himself certainly cannot take the initiative to intervene in the Ethiopian civil war, but he can increase the intensity of the attack, suppress the scope of activities of Al-Shabaab in a short period of time, and mobilize the Esso border soldiers and resources for the current Ethiopian government to fight the decisive battle with the opposition. Opportunity…
If you want to send more troops to Somalia and change the current mode of operations, you must respect the opinions of Somalia.
The current situation there cannot be said to be very good, but it has been on a good track. The Somali side has also formulated a five-year development plan with the help of Jialiang trade salesmen.
Once P·B makes a big move, it will break the current situation of slowly squeezing Al-Shabaab and increase the pressure on the Somali government.
There is definitely no problem in going hard, but the best way is to provide a suitable reason and be able to bring Somalia an offer that cannot be refused…
A space center without R&D capabilities cannot be considered a super infrastructure project.
However, P·B can nominally be allowed to send additional air and ground troops to Somalia on the grounds of security.
It doesn’t take much. As long as the ground facilities are adequate, a few Griffin-1 fighter jets can be placed there. The province has to dispatch fighter jets from Yemen to Somalia every time.
Moreover, if the space center is to be completed, it will require several roads connecting Kismayo Pier and the surrounding areas, as well as a series of surrounding supporting constructions.
These things are too precious for Somalia today!
If the space center can really operate in the future, Kismayo’s importance as an important port for receiving products from the global aerospace industry will be significantly enhanced.
Once Ethiopia’s political problems are resolved and Al-Shabaab’s destructiveness is limited, the tentacles of the Ghanaian trade can penetrate from south to north through the Juba River and the Shabelle River into the southern half of Ethiopia. Romo District’ and ‘Somalia District’.
The dock plan to increase trade has proven its effectiveness in Congo. However, Ethiopia, as a large country in East Africa, does not even have an outlet to the sea. The most important external channel for the entire country is a railway connecting to Djibouti.
That little shipping capacity simply cannot meet the needs of the entire Ethiopia!
If Boss Qiao can solve the problem and mediate the political relations between Ethiopia and Somalia, he can create a trade route out of thin air.
While nourishing the two countries, it can also reduce the transportation cost of Jialiang trade, allowing cheap materials to smoothly enter the market that Ethiopia has won.
Also a seaport, the Gabon Space Base in the movie “The Wandering Earth” is beneficial to the entire world, because it can more conveniently concentrate the basic resources of relatively developed West Africa and South Africa, and at the same time, resources from Europe and the Americas can quickly reach the Gulf of Guinea.
But for Boss Qiao, buying land in Gabon means that important resources of his organization need to be bypassed from South Africa.
The situation is different in Somalia. The goods shipped from the old mother can be landed directly from Somalia, saving thousands of kilometers of sailing, which can save a lot of costs.
The most important thing is to find a suitable base for Boss Qiao’s two 056s that are about to be repaired.
With these two ships, plus a few Seahawks, Boss Qiao can go south at any time to support Aaron’s property in Madagascar.
At the beginning, Boss Qiao promised to buy one billion US dollars of bonds from Madagascar. Now that the deal has been reached, 70% of the money will be distributed to Aaron’s company in the form of targeted loans.
With two 056s, the Madagascar government probably would not dare to breach the contract!
