Chapter 640 Complicated inside story
Ricky Barton put away his smile and said, "A guy told me that if you want to cooperate with you, you must be sincere.
Then let me tell you, CACI received a cooperation invitation a month ago, but after our evaluation, even if we succeed, we will not get enough benefits, so we declined.
Jackal, you made a mistake. No one in the United States wants to replace you, because anyone who gets your "unprofitable contract" is a burden, and not everyone can get it from Huaguo Energy Company. Take advantage.
What they want to replace is Steven. As long as they can get the initiative, once the war in Iraq is prolonged, they can send more funds from Congress.
The people of Isis threatened NATO with dirty bombs, making the situation in Iraq very delicate now. Without NATO's intervention, Iraq would become a paradise for mercenaries.
800 million is too little. According to our assessment, once the Iraq war is dragged on for more than 4 months, this fund will be expanded to between 1.5 and 2.5 billion.
Now is the critical period of the general election, and that black buddy will use his last strength to give Iraq a successful ending.
Steven's current position is very critical. Instead of him, he can get the dominance of the huge amount of funds, which will generate at least 500 million in net profits.
Jackal, CACI received a contract worth 3.5 billion dollars from the United States last year, but do you know what is CACI's net profit for one year?
I tell you, $85 million.
This is the number calculated by our company last year. Our organization is huge, but the huge expenditure is beyond the imagination of the outside world.
Now you know what Steven is holding? "
Qiaojia froze for a moment, then shook his head and said, "Do you think you can force me to cooperate with you if you kill Steven and get the dominance of funds?"
Rich Barton shook his head and said: "It's them, we CACI didn't participate.
And you forgot Panzer Group, they are the alternative to P·B.
The British cabinet convened a meeting of people from energy companies to discuss the issue of British energy companies in Iraq, and some of them raised objections.
They want to hitch a ride, assist Halliburton and MPRI to promote the war to resolve the internal war in Iraq, and then use similar terms to P·B to negotiate the handling of the oil field themselves.
They don't have to cooperate with the Chinese people. The Malaysian energy company can send people into the market at any time.
And they seem to have the confidence to use their own methods to solve the problem of the Iraqi militia.
Now the American energy group is not particularly happy to cooperate with them, because once the British dominate, their profits will drop.
Jackal, at this stage, people in the United States are very satisfied with you, and the contradiction is not actually on you. "
When Qiaojia heard this, he whistled and said, "I understand now!
That Cameron guy doesn't look as good as he makes himself out to be.
I didn't expect that I was just preparing to pull a few off, and I actually recruited a 'replacement' for myself. "
At this time, Qiaojia understood the whole story completely. In fact, everyone's general direction is the same, but there are differences on the distribution of benefits after the war.
Halliburton and MPRI want to profit from the war, while the Armored Group and the people behind them want to profit from the oil market, and at the same time they don't want Hua Guo to get too much share.
Actually, there is no conflict in the general direction of the situation in Iraq, and it doesn’t matter if you people in England don’t want to join.
However, the content of the contract given by Qiaojia is too generous. If P·B is successful, it will push up the operating costs of the British in disguise. Even if a barrel of oil earns 2 yuan less, it is a huge sum of money.
The difference in attributes and functions between Yinglun Energy Company and Huaguo Energy Company determines that their styles are completely different.
A **** stirrer is a **** stirrer!
These guys don’t want everyone to beat Isis away first, they want to disrupt P·B’s business first, so that they can restart the Iraqi project in a similar but more profitable way.
From this point of view, American companies are actually much simpler than British companies!
Because they have the background of the most powerful country in the world, what they want to make money is simple and quick profits.
This is the problem Choga needs to face when the stage gets bigger, because the 'dining table' he can organize is only so big, there will always be people who will be dissatisfied, and there will always be people who will try to initiate competition.
This is an unavoidable problem. Any company will go through this process when it reaches a certain stage.
Even giants like CACI are actually the same, they are also facing challenges from other companies.
Competition will naturally lead to an increase in costs, because you need better equipment and stronger personnel, lobbying costs and operating costs will increase exponentially.
When the company is intervened by big capital and begins to implement the logic of capital, with profit as the first pursuit, their operation mode will naturally develop to "eat one's own food".
Even if you don’t have enough to eat, it’s normal to squeeze the space of your competitors first and strive for a better competitive environment in the future.
When the pursuit of profit is the top priority, there is no such thing as "treating guests to dinner" like Boss Qiao.
As long as I get the project, even if I have to find someone to cooperate with, then I must be the leader, and I want to take the bulk of the profits.
This is the iron law of the capital market, which runs counter to Boss Joe's logic of "treating guests to dinner".
This is also an important reason why so many elites from all walks of life do not understand the logic of Qiaojia's actions!
The inertia and brainwashing ability of capital is too strong, it is really difficult to jump out of the framework of capital.
Boss Qiao was poor and empty at the beginning, and even lost money in an iron mine, so he had to bite the bullet and pull many people together, and then he found his own way.
Wanted to understand the key to this, Choga knew that the blow from the giants might not end so easily.
Halliburton and MPRI are American companies, and they cannot bear the name of "treason".
But the Armored Group is different. They have a British background, and now they represent the interests of the British energy group.
Just kidding, England and Malaysia fully occupy 38% of Iraq's oil field mining rights, and it is astronomical to earn a little more.
It is still a question of whether it will affect them when Steven reveals the matter?
There are countless broken things within NATO, and what happened to Steven may not necessarily move the armored group.
Joga looked at Rich Barton in front of him, he shook hands with the old man, and said, "Thank you for the news you brought me, I really hope to see CACI in Iraq.
As a giant in the intelligence industry, CACI plays an irreplaceable role in our fight against ISIS. "
This is the effect that Rich Barton wants, and it is also where the value of intelligence lies.
It sounds like just a few words of analysis, but the interests involved are huge. If Qiaojia doesn't understand the inside story, with his impulsive acting style, problems will easily occur.
After shaking hands with Choga, Rich Barton said with a smile: "I still suggest you accept MPRI's summation, as long as you nod, I can get them to show some sincerity...
How about renting a Predator drone for a low price? "
Qiaojia was stunned for a moment, then shook his head with a smirk and said, "These people want to use the assistance provided by NATO as a bargaining chip for peace, how can this work?
Tell them to send someone, I heard their board of directors is full of generals, send me a general, and three Predator drones to cooperate with us.
I have an existing Air Force base in Baghdad, let them be stationed there.
I asked Steven to provide them with a military contract of 20 million. I will not let them lose money, but they will serve from now until the end of the Iraq War!
I heard that MPRI has deep ties to the Pentagon, so it's no problem to get some cheap Hellfire. "
Rich Barton was stunned for a moment, and then re-examined Choga...
20 million is a price that makes MPRI very uncomfortable, and the war in Iraq is obviously lengthening.
Originally, the MPRI people wanted to rent the Predator to P·B at a low price, and admit their mistakes in disguise to end these **** things, but now Choga asks them to send people to fight, and MPRI has to invest money and manpower.
At the end of the day, they may still be able to earn a little money, but for that little money, MPRI still needs to send a retired lieutenant general to come.
This lieutenant general is a hostage to ensure that MPRI will not go wrong, and he will be ordered by Choga.
Can they say no?
cannot!
Are you uncomfortable?
Uncomfortable!
How does that compare to facing Steven's indictment?
It must be that this situation is better, at least you can make some money!
Who are you going to reason with?
Everyone in MPRI has to struggle with whether or not to thank Boss Qiao afterwards.
After all, MPRI is still a giant, and it is a giant with great influence in the Pentagon.
Facing such an opponent, Choga used an offer that made the opponent feel extremely uncomfortable, expressing his tough attitude clearly, and making MPRI people unable to tear themselves apart. This is a remarkable mediation ability.
This ability to step on other people's bottom line to set prices is very powerful, and what is being spent now is not Qiaojia's money at all.
As long as MPRI agrees, the mercenary coalition has air support, and MPRI's low offer actually frees up more funds.
Rich Barton nodded with a big smile, and said: "I will call my old friends, and I especially want to see their faces when they receive the call.
Jackal, you are an amazing young man and I am sure you will succeed in Iraq. "
Joga shrugged his shoulders and said: "Of course, I will succeed. Now only the Armored Group and Halliburton are left. If I were in England or the United States, I might not be their opponent, but in Iraq...
To be honest, I never thought about making money from the oil fields in Iraq, but many people just don't believe it.
This time I want to completely shake off the British people and let them see what my business experience is like?
Sometimes they beg me! "
As he spoke, Choga looked at Rich Barton and said with a smile: "Now MPRI has surrendered, but Halliburton has not acted.
How about it? Is CACI interested in tearing a piece of flesh off them with us? "
Rich Barton listened, shook his head with a smile and said, "How could Halliburton not act?"
As he spoke, Rich Button looked at Eric who was approaching with a phone in his hand with a livid face, and said with a smile, "Look, Halliburton is moving very fast!"
Joga turned to look at Eric, he sighed...
The only one who can make Eric look so ugly is his former boss.
To get rid of a big man who is in a critical period of the campaign, Halliburton's personal connections are indeed far beyond Choja's imagination.
Seeing Eric approaching him and wanting to talk, Choga waved his hand and said, "Go to Steven, he is the 'victim'!
As long as Steven agrees, I don't really care, after all, they are the ones who die!
You are all veterans in this field, and you can always get enough compensation! "
While talking, Choga looked at the extremely seasoned Rich Barton, and said with a smile: "The above problem is solved, and whoever wins in the end depends on the fist, am I right?"
Rich Barton nodded and said: "For mercenaries, big fists are never wrong!"
