King Of War: Starting with Arms Dealer

Chapter 949: Chapter 853: Building the Foundation

Joe, the boss, laid out his conditions, and he received quite positive feedback.

His plan, of course, cannot solve the internal issues of Syria, and he might face competition from the massive Russian Energy Group afterward, but none of that matters.

Restoring peace to the northeastern corridor of Syria and then gradually cultivating a consumer market is what’s most important.

Even if someone later wants to instruct the Syrian Government and the Kurds to overthrow the agreement, they have to consider whether they can offer a ‘new irresistible deal’ once they take over.

This is a kind of alternative ‘economic barrier,’ limiting others from imitating and following suit by using lower profit margins.

China follows this approach in many countries’ investments, offsetting current inputs and even losses with longer-term and more derived benefits.

Joe Ga is slightly less skilled, but the things he’s doing, even if the situation turns terrible, some folks from the trade department will cover for him.

Losses are out of the question. With Joe’s current investment in the humanitarian corridor, even if Syria’s situation collapses, someone will step forward to subsidize the ‘Jialiang Trading Company’ and fill the gap.

Even if this money can’t leave the country, it’s not a problem, and his brother Qiao Liang won’t have an issue spending it.

Joe Ga now doesn’t even know how much money he has, because his assets simply cannot be accurately calculated and appraised.

If you remove ‘Jialiang Trading,’ then P·B’s cash flow is slightly weaker, but that’s still a huge number in the billions.

His current problem lies in how to maintain his current power and status, because once P·B appears slightly weak, problems will emerge everywhere.

This is the disadvantage of stretching the front of interests too long; it’s fine when P·B is strong, but a lengthy chain of interests becomes easy to attack when it weakens.

So, Joe, the boss, plans to wrap up the deal in Syria and then start to consolidate internal resources to pivot and lean towards Africa.

Maintaining the absolute dominance of the core base is the key to keeping P·B standing.

The business in Iraq and Syria, no matter how grandiose, is ultimately going to shrink down to a material supply route.
