King Of War: Starting with Arms Dealer-Chapter 1103 - 974 Decision

The birth of a prince made Sangha Town celebrate for three days!

I have to say these African guys are indeed enthusiastic. They don’t have a systematic moral and ethical framework, but they still understand basic gratitude.

It’s just that their way of expressing gratitude is through partying and reluctance to go to work.

Even after the carnival ended, they weren’t satisfied. A bunch of bootlickers who had a bit of education were still debating within the Sangha Town government. They wanted to establish some kind of holiday, taking three days off every year on this day, with all major factories sharing the expenses.

Proposals like this make the capitalists cry, so naturally, they opposed it. In the end, after some discussion, they agreed to allow the holiday but refused to bear the costs.

However, on this day every year, all major factories could provide sponsorship to the government, whether it’s to give a bonus to civil servants or let the government organize activities; it’s up to them.

You see, politics is like this...

Maybe a good proposal is put forward, but in the end, in the negotiations with all the interested parties, compromise is inevitable.

Finally, a proposal that was initially perfect for the people might end up scoring only 50 points, or even possibly turn out to be negative.

The vested interest groups are truly willing to go all out to protect their interests from being harmed.

This is the biggest weakness of human nature; no one wants to give up what they have at hand.

Sharing wealth under the existing economic model will be very difficult to achieve.

However, there are ways to solve these issues...

To reduce people’s complaints about the wealth gap, the best approach is not to tell them to work hard, but to provide a safety net.

Education! Healthcare! Elder care!

Now in Sangha Town, you don’t have to pay for schooling or medical treatment. ƒrēewebnoѵёl.cσm

Although the education level isn’t high and the medical standard isn’t high, at least they are free.

Education is supported by Princess Amina and the Qatari Royal Family. The successive arrivals of 100 million US dollars in education funds are absolutely sufficient for a country with just four million people.

Healthcare is supported by Jemma. This lady, who has been extremely busy, not only holds a large amount of pharmaceutical funds but also secured substantial aid from the United Nations Red Cross, which only supports the initial medical development structure in Sangha Town.

The remaining majority of funds can only rely on taxes, and Joe Ga trying to collect from various steel plant owners, but everyone truly tried their best.

The locals are quite satisfied, even if they have terminal diseases when they go to a hospital and can’t be treated, they can still get some painkillers or something.

Even if there are available beds, they might receive some palliative care.

This is the utmost extent that Joe Ga and Sangha Town can achieve at this stage, but after the little prince was born, this became somewhat insufficient!

Joe Ga is determined to create a city with hope, turning it into a moat for his child’s future.

This requires time, and time will change many things.

The most typical is, what should be done when the current workforce grows old?

Once these people fall into poverty after they cannot work, the system built by P.B. will have gaps, and people will instinctively look for new means.

The greatest hallmark of modern civilization is not skyscrapers, nor is it the amount of money for happiness; it’s the ability to care for vulnerable groups and the degree of basic security availability.

Chinese people proposed thoughts along these lines early on...

Nurture our children, as well as others’ children!

Care for our elders, as well as others’ elders!

This is where the sense of civilization lies!

The modern economic system dictates that in places where productivity is underdeveloped or resources are unevenly distributed, it is difficult for people to be kind.

Joe Ga, having been in Africa for so many years, is well aware of these African guys’ personalities.

They don’t have the habit of saving!

Firstly because they saw no hope in the past; once they earned money, their first thought was to spend it to enjoy present pleasures.

Secondly, the poor and broken financial system in this cursed place decided that money saved over decades might be evaporated in an instant due to inflation or other reasons.

However, what many Chinese consider a ’bad habit’ actually has its advantages.

With the advancement of the steel industry, various factories achieved rapid profits, and workers’ salaries rose continuously over a few years, nearing 100 US dollars now.

If they don’t save money, the corresponding effect is the prosperity of the consumer market.

Nice clothes and shoes, household appliances long outdated in other places, and a variety of other consumer goods slowly started appearing in local people’s homes.

Businesspeople like Auntie Zhao in the wholesale and retail sector made enormous profits!

The prosperity of the commercial market also led to the prosperity of a series of industries.

Transportation, shipping, logistics, catering, accommodation, and a variety of industries expanded.

Joe Ga created a booming consumer market, but since there is no local processing industry, the greatest profit from the source was taken by Jia Liang trades.

An ordinary capitalist would probably think about new ways to dig into those workers’ wallets at this point.

But Joe Ga opted to keep expanding the pie and prepared to implement the population management system in Sangha Town so that everyone could have some future security.

He wants to leave a family business that cannot be squandered to his son.

......

A month after the celebration, Joe Ga entertained friends at the base while also meeting various people from Central Africa and Congo.

Government officials, factory owners, mine owners, wild warlords, tribe representatives...

After lengthy negotiations and mediations, Joe Ga finally clinched an extremely complex contract with a group of people!

Then on the day Little Prince Qiao Ying turned one month old, Joe Ga took him to the center of Sangha Town...

.........

The people of Sangha Town received the news and put down their work to gather in the center of the town.

But now the population of Sangha Town has exceeded 600,000, and the central square definitely couldn’t accommodate that many people.

However, the well-prepared P.B. Technical Department had installed huge projectors and speakers in various corners of the city and on the squares of the major factories.

When people saw those large screens light up and saw the orderly formation of P.B. and the figure of Boss Joe, they gradually quieted down.

Many people were seated on the high platform, including representatives from the African Union, the President of Central Africa, the President of Congo, and several consuls from major United Nations’ home countries in Central Africa...

In terms of scale, not even the inauguration of the President of Central Africa had so many big shots present.

This made Lenore, the mayor of Sangha Town, feel a bit uncomfortable amidst it all!

But when Lenore saw Boss Joe carrying a child and stepping onto the high platform, she instantly felt at ease.

Lenore started as a small assistant and witnessed the growth of P.B. all the way!

She came from being a perfunctory minor civil servant to becoming the mayor of Sangha Town...

She saw with her own eyes how Boss Joe dealt with drug dealers...

She saw with her own eyes how he united the tribal forces around Sangha Town with a hand-drawn concept map...

She saw with her own eyes how he led everyone to grow stronger together...

She saw with her own eyes how he worked with Jemma Alexander and Princess Amina to secure large amounts of international charity funds...

She saw with her own eyes how he negotiated with France...

She witnessed and participated in the growth and expansion of Sangha Town!

Along the way, with P.B.’s support and having many former soldiers from P.B. filling grassroots positions, Lenore had grown from an inexperienced, timid civil servant into the Iron Lady of Sangha Town.

Lenore is full of hope for the future, thinking that P.B. is already great enough, yet she still had no idea...

That Boss Joe would propose a jaw-dropping idea in the past month.

Everyone who saw that plan at the time thought Boss Joe was crazy!

Boss Joe intends to provide a future guarantee for all the people of Sangha Town!

And this guarantee would expand depending on the situation in the future...

And all he got was merely one oilfield and two gas fields; he would also take over all the fundamental projects that the French promised but never implemented.

Everyone knows that Central Africa’s oilfields and gas fields aren’t worth investing in because there’s no way to transport or sell them.

Yet Boss Joe forcibly created demand in Sangha Town, and due to his influence, the cities of Ndele and Nora began to have a huge demand for energy as well.

And this wasn’t the end; Boss Joe made the President of Central Africa, Francois, sign an infrastructure investment agreement.

Within 5 years, there will be a highway connecting Bangui, Sangha Town, Bangassou, Ndele, and Nora.

This is a super infrastructure investment worth billions of US Dollars, and the main investor is still Boss Joe.

Lenore saw in the internal meeting room how Boss Joe persuaded everyone to support him.

But Lenore couldn’t understand at all where Boss Joe got so much money from? Even more, she couldn’t understand the significance of throwing so much money into Central Africa?

However, none of this mattered to Lenore; she gave a warm applause when Boss Joe appeared with a child.

When Boss Joe’s feet stepped onto the podium, everyone stood up...

Old Karman, dressed in a neatly pressed military uniform, straightened his originally stooped back...

"Strong strike..."

"Hu-ha..."

Qiao adjusted the noise-canceling earmuffs on his son’s little head, and seeing the boy’s eyes wander around curiously, he carried him around for a spin, then placed him in an egg-shaped cradle on the speaker’s podium...

Looking at the slightly solemn atmosphere below the stage, Qiao lightly tapped on the microphone and then smiled, saying, "I heard you’re all very curious about my son, so I brought him for you to see..."

At this moment, the cameraman zoomed in on little Qiao Ying, who was restlessly in the cradle...

The little guy was blowing bubbles with his mouth, waving his little hands in the air constantly, as if chasing something.

The full-month old little guy was no longer the wrinkled appearance he had at birth.

With rosy cheeks and large eyes, he appeared incredibly lively.

Listening to the laughter from the audience, Qiao rubbed his own face, then smiled and said, "My son is very handsome, thanks to having a beautiful mother.

Of course, I play a critical role too..."

As he said this, Qiao flexed his arm and said, "You all watch, Igor will be as strong as me in the future, maybe even stronger.

Maybe in 20 years, maybe in 30 years, you will see a child who grew up under your watchful eyes, replacing me to become the master of P.B.!

Just like the change of guard in a pride of lions, there will always be a young lion stepping up to fulfill the duty of defending the territory!"

After saying this, Qiao found Karman in the front row crowd, smiled, and said, "Old buddy, we all have a day when we’ll die, but hope lives on!"

Karman’s eyes were filled with tears, the usually reserved old guy didn’t even know why he was so moved, balling his fists, opened his mouth, and let out a silent roar...

Next to him, Dorian, seeing the veins popping on Karman’s neck for fear that he would get a stroke from excitement, patted the old guy on the back, then raised his fist and forcefully thumped his chest with a ’bang’ sound...

"Strong strike..."

"Hu-ha..."
