From Arms Dealer To King of War Chapter 897

  Chapter 897 Big business

  Choga himself is not a gentleman, but his three views are still shattered by Albert II's remarks.

  You want to say that this guy is a scumbag, Choga was the first to raise his hand in agreement.

   But it would be a bit too much to say he was a bad guy who did all kinds of crimes.

  Even in the past when the relationship between Albert II and Charlene was the worst, this guy never gave less pocket money of tens of millions of euros a year.

  In terms of how generous he is to his wife, this guy is no different than Shah's princes, and even shows a lot more tolerance.

  Of course, this does not mean that he is a good man or husband, nor does it prevent the media from criticizing him.

   This guy definitely failed in the role of the family, but in the role of 'King', he is still a bit interesting.

  The business in Crete, Greece, is still on paper.

  It will take at least half a year for the Greek government to pass a resolution.

   But their preliminary work has already begun...

  These people were very shrewd. They first announced that they would build a "duty-free port", and then they didn't indicate that they would cooperate with P·B. Instead, they attracted the big warlord princess who has great influence in the European media and fashion industry...

  This kind of temptation is very clever. If there are big warlords and princesses to divert attention, the media will not focus on them.

  In this way, the pressure on the Greek government will not be too great, and discussions with countries within the European Union can be carried out a little more calmly.

  'Tax exemption' is a good policy to boost GDP, but this thing is a double-edged sword, if you don't use it well, you will hurt yourself.

  Greece has a large land area. Although Crete is not bordered by mainland Greece, the area there is too large, which is still a big problem for the management of duty-free ports.

  There is an intrregional trade agreement within the EU. Once Crete implements tax exemption, if someone turns his head and sells goods from Greece to Europe, it will have an impact on the local industry of the entire EU.

   Countries can of course introduce measures to hedge the losses caused by the Greek tax exemption policy, but that thing is not just a matter of a law, it has a cost.

  The Greeks are making a high-profile statement, telling the EU that I am poor and will eat dirt, and I want to build a duty-free port. If you don't like it, then come and talk to me...

   This is a negotiating tactic. There are experts on the Greek side. They put on a posture to lift the roof, and then force the allies to compromise and let him open a few windows.

  I can limit the tax-free policy to Crete, and I don't even need to set up a duty-free port, but the pornographic gambling forces me to do one or both.

  Prince Albert II is obviously smart. This guy knows that Greece's "duty-free port" will definitely not be possible. There is a certain room for gaming here, but it will not be too big...

  Even if Greece has sovereignty, the European Union will not agree to this kind of two-five-year-old practice.

  But it is entirely possible to build a Mediterranean Las Vegas and then develop tourism in conjunction with Crete's own natural resources.

  Crete has an area of ​​8,400 square kilometers, but only 600,000 people.

  Compared to the size of Crete, Monaco is only as big as booger.

  Lack of land is a flaw in Monaco. Now Albert II has seen the thoughts of the Greeks. In order to avoid competition in Monaco in the future, it is better to take the lead in investing in it, first take down the casino, and then invest in the local tourism industry...

   But this guy still doesn't understand one thing, that is, the Greeks attracted Charlene not only to divert her attention, but also to win over Boss Joe.

  The family sent the plan to Boss Qiao half a month ago, and asked him to mention it if he asked.

  Providing a free port for the warship of the warlord princess to dock is just the beginning.

  As long as Boss Joe is happy, the south of Crete will echo Tobruk.

  As long as Boss Joe is willing to nod, the crude oil and refined oil exported from Tobruk can be a few points cheaper.

  Then the southern port of Crete can become a Mediterranean gas station.

   Don't underestimate one or two points. Those big guys refuel in units of 100,000. Even if you can save 3 to 5 points by filling up, it is enough to attract those freighters passing through the Mediterranean to stop there.

  As long as Greece is determined to invest in the port and let bulk cargo ships enter the port, Crete can be turned into a Mediterranean cargo transfer point.

   What you earn in this way is not the money of the EU, but the money of the merchants.

  I give enough tax incentives, and you have long-term sales channels, so come to me to invest in a company to build a transit warehouse, which can speed up the trade process.

  You trade with me, do you want to settle with me?

  Does settlement require a reliable financial institution?

  You don't trust Greek banks, so do you believe Boss Joe's P·B Bank?

  Others don't believe it, do the Chinese people believe it?

  If this matter is successful, there will be a lot to do!

   At that time, there will be a casino tourist area in the north and a port trade area in the south, and Crete will take off.

   The game between Greece and the European Union will take a long time to come to fruition, but the Mediterranean gas station can start as long as Joe boss nods.

  The Greeks not only took a fancy to Tobruk's oil resources, but also took a fancy to the Huaguo commodity channels in the hands of Boss Qiao, especially the Jialiang Trading Company.

  They want Jialiang Trading to open a branch there. As long as the "monster" of Jialiang Trading passes, more Huaguo overseas trading companies will follow.

   There is no conflict at all, because Jialiang Trade's trading partners are third world countries, and it generally plays a role of purchasing checks in Europe and the United States.

  With the presence of Jialiang trade, merchants from European trade can be attracted to enter Crete.

   At the last time, we can use Jialiang trade as an excuse to hold an international commodity exhibition.

  This is much cheaper than European manufacturers going to China to participate in the exhibition.

   It will definitely attract some manufacturers with excellent product quality but not enough financial strength to participate.

  In the past, people always talked about the concept of "global village", but the reality is that there are still huge information gaps in various places.

  There are also many cheap and affordable things in Europe, but they are not known because of poor information.

  If the concept of the Mediterranean trade center can take shape, Greece will be saved.

  The Greek and Boss Joe made everything perfect through careful communication.

   Now everything is ready, only money is missing!

  Go to Crete to invest in a super gas station, Boss Joe is still capable.

   But investing in ports, and investing in construction according to the plan, hum...

  The Greek government is poor, and Boss Joe doesn't have that much liquidity, so he can only wait for the big boss to come to his door.

  Choga did not expect that Albert II would be the first big fish.

  Looking at this guy's attentive appearance, he understood that he went to Central Africa to chase his wife just by the way.

   Investing money to sell favors, it is true to want to join the development of Crete in Greece through P·B.

  The headquarters of P·B Bank is in Monaco, and the "hearsay" that Greece intends to put Crete's bond business and government funds in P·B Bank can still be received by Albert II if he is willing.

  If outsiders don't know the status and power of P·B in it, Albert II, who knows the financial operation procedures, cannot understand it.

  The Greek government's credit has been bankrupt for a long time, and no one wants them to issue bonds by themselves.

  P·B Bank helps the Greek government manage the development bonds of Crete Island, and the financing goal is simply too clear.

  Afika's huge corruption, the rich men in the Middle East, and Huaguo's funds...

  These people are not fools. Their trust in P·B does not mean they trust Greece.

  If Greece wants to make a difference, it must transfer a lot of power and interests to P·B, so that those people can have confidence.

  Monaco is not short of money, but it lacks related industries. Crete, an island similar in nature to Monaco but with 10,000 times better geographical environment and natural environment, is simply a dream place for Monaco investment companies.

  In this world now, it is only a few fierce people who can expand the territory.

  Prince Albert II wanted to take the business route and moved the Monaco model to Crete, which could be regarded as a disguised expansion of the royal family's influence and wealth. If it succeeds, it will be a great achievement in the history books.

Choga looked at Albert II's earnest expression. He felt sorry for Charlene for a few seconds, then held Albert II's hand enthusiastically, and said, "Welcome to the Crete Island Management Committee, our membership fee It is 50 million euros.

   This money is venture capital, which is used to lobby local residents to cooperate with us in business development.

  Whenever you deposit money into my bank, I will show you Crete's plan for the casino and tourism industry, and then you can choose where you want to invest. "

  Hearing this, Albert II said in surprise, "50 million for an admission ticket?"

   Qiaojia spread his arms and said with a smile: "This is a friendly price, and it's a discount only for the sake of Jacques and Briella.

  That is not just a gambling license, but also hundreds of thousands of tourists every year and an unimaginably huge flow of money.

   Guess how many big investors will enter once Greece legalizes gambling on Crete? "

   Albert II listened, and after pondering for a moment, said: "I need to discuss with my advisor..."

   While talking, Albert II looked at Choga and said, "Jackal, are you interested in selling some of the shares in P·B Bank?"

   Qiaojia said amusedly after hearing this: "You have a good idea!

  Unless you buy the shares with your own money and give them to my godson Jacques, the royal family of Monaco can't get any shares from me. "

   "That's my son too!"

   Albert II looked helplessly at Boss Joe, who was always prejudiced against him, and he said helplessly: "Jackal, it's wrong for you to do this.

   Jacques is my child, he is destined to be the heir of Monaco, what difference does it make if it is earlier or later? "

   Qiaojia sneered and said: "The difference is huge!

  Based on your childish temper and endless lawsuits, when Jacques grows up, how much of your private money will be left is still a problem.

  As his godfather, I have to fight for him in advance. "

  Hearing this, Albert II raised his hands in surrender and said, "OK, OK, let's change the subject, 50 million will be credited to your bank within three days."

   Qiaojia nodded with a smile and said, "It's so good, you have to be straightforward when doing business."

   Talking about Qiaojia looking at the white clouds outside the window, he said with a smile: "Hey, how much money are you going to donate to Central Africa this time?

  The land is vast and sparsely populated, and the people live in poverty. One or two million yuan is not enough to spend..."
