Chapter 1367 Planning
It is not a whim to build a space center, but the current P·B objectively needs a space center.
Because no matter how Boss Joe himself mediates, the current scale and influence of P·B have become so large that it needs to be targeted.
The US election is coming to an end. Qiao Jia got clear news from Eric that Big Mouth Tang did not get the support of the Reed family, who are also Republicans, because he repeatedly ignored the interests of his allies and lost votes in two important western states.
The final statistics have not yet come out, but Qiao Jia has confirmed that this guy has lost.
Eric sent back intelligence from the United States, and the listing of P·B's American branch has entered the countdown.
At the same time, because Boss Joe split P·B in advance, it caused strong dissatisfaction among many people. Soon a committee dedicated to investigating P·B's global industry and human rights issues will be established. The purpose is to use political means to constantly make trouble for Boss Joe and curb the continued expansion of P·B's influence.
Clearly transforming P·B to the direction of space exploration and giving money to aerospace research units in countries around the world will help alleviate the pressure Boss Joe is facing now.
Build a so-called space center, and then throw a lot of money into it, invite all countries and organizations willing to participate in the lunar exploration project to join it, express the determination of foreign exploration clearly, and make the position clear, which can effectively alleviate the PTSD of those politicians towards P.B.
And for Boss Joe, it is the best time to invest now. Because of the impact of the virus, the medical protection products of Sangha Town, which started only more than a year ago, have been sold out.
While Boss Joe made a lot of money, because of problems in global trade, a huge amount of capital liquidity has problems, causing serious inflation.
When Boss Joe decided to buy at the bottom, those technology companies that were still holding on could not stop it.
The United States can restrict P.B from acquiring technology companies through sanctions, but it cannot restrict Monica's NPO non-profit organization called "Looking Up at the Stars" established in advance.
This organization has set up offices in the homes of the five big brothers in the world, with a large amount of funds stationed there, with the purpose of funding some important scientific research institutions and enterprises, and understanding the aerospace industry...
Soon, Boss Qiao will release the "Lunar Base Feasibility Project Tender". As long as the project can be hyped up, the interest of people in the industry can be mobilized, and then the feasibility project can be split into small projects one by one through the contracting method, so that professionals can find ways to solve the problem.
With the robot project as a foundation, with the current level of technology, the lunar base project is entirely possible.
Boss Qiao has never thought of becoming a fat man in one go, and he doesn't have so much money...
But as long as he burns a part of the funds and makes the feasibility project recognized by most people in the industry, he can use a PPT and a feasibility report to draw a big pie for everyone, and through one point, he can leverage a huge real industry that may involve trillions of dollars.
The sea of stars in Boss Qiao's eyes is not to fly a spaceship to the universe to fight aliens...
Leveraging new industries, creating as many jobs as possible, and stimulating vitality are the "sea of stars" that Boss Qiao wants!
The ‘sea of stars’ that cannot benefit most people is meaningless!
The moon plan and even the Mars plan are just bargaining chips for Boss Joe to achieve his goal.
Whether he is the leader in the end and whether P·B can get huge benefits from it is actually not important at all!
The title of ‘sponsor’ is enough to keep P·B and the jackal in human history!
To put it another way, P·B burns money first, and then lets more people burn money together.
No matter what the result is, many workers will benefit from the money as soon as it is burned!
This was impossible in the past, but when the virus epidemic led to a decline in global trade and economic problems led to a decline 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 the companies and individuals who rely on aerospace to make money, in order to obtain sufficient funds, they will jump out and talk about the prospects of the lunar base without mobilizing Boss Joe, and then use the position of their own technology in the feasibility plan to carry out financing and research and development.
In order to make their own funds generate returns, the capital side should not argue with scientists whether they will succeed in the end, but package the project and make money back through bonds or other secondary markets.
The first step for Boss Joe is not to seek support from the science and technology industry, but to stimulate the liquidity of financial capital by drawing pie in the sky, indirectly drive the science and technology industry to move closer to his pie, and find a group of "allies".
In the final analysis, Boss Joe does not understand aerospace technology, and his way of solving problems is the way of politicians.
As for placing the aerospace base in Somalia instead of Gabon, which has better infrastructure, it is not that Boss Joe wants to be a big shot, but that Kismayo in Somalia is more in line with P.B's needs...
Somalia's neighbor Ethiopia, due to the civil war caused by election issues, broke out last year and has entered a white-hot state this year.
The United Nations peacekeeping force, mainly composed of Ugandan and Rwandan soldiers, has been in Ethiopia for almost two years, but has not played a big role in resolving the internal situation in Ethiopia.
The Ethiopian president has tried to invite P·B to help through the Central African president Francois many times.
However, the entire AU remained silent this time, because the civil war was caused by democratic elections and the legitimacy of the current government was questioned.
Everyone knows that there are shadows of European and American agents behind the opposition, but before the unacceptable humanitarian disaster, Boss Joe simply cannot find a suitable position to intervene.
If it were five years ago, P·B could negotiate with the Ethiopian government openly, 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 of the AU's extreme friendliness towards P·B is that P·B will not interfere in their internal affairs without authorization.
Boss Joe will not commit this taboo, 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 against the Youth Party in Somalia for nearly two years. The ground team led the Somali National Defense Force, not only reducing the scope of Youth Party's activities, but also helping Somalia restore some agricultural and commercial facilities.
The premise for P.B. to be so relaxed is that the Ethiopian National Defense Force has been cooperating to reduce the space for Youth Party's activities.
Somalia is very important to Boss Joe'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 Youth Party, Somalia will become a quagmire again, trapping the troops that P.B. invested in early.
At that time, it will become a bottomless pit!
Faced with this situation, Boss Joe himself certainly cannot take the initiative to intervene in the Ethiopian civil war, but he can increase the intensity of the attack and suppress the scope of Youth Party's activities in a short period of time, giving the current Ethiopian government the opportunity to mobilize soldiers and resources on the Ethiopian-Soso border to fight a decisive battle with the opposition...
And if you want to increase troops to Somalia and change the current mode of action, you must respect the opinions of the Somali side.
The current situation there cannot be said to be very good, but it has been on a positive track. With the help of Jialiang trade salesman, Somalia has also formulated a five-year development plan.
Once P·B makes a big move, it will break the current situation of slowly squeezing the Youth Party and increase the pressure on the Somali government.
There is definitely no problem with hard work, but the best way is to provide a suitable reason and bring an irresistible condition to Somalia...
A space center without R&D capabilities is not a super infrastructure project.
However, in name, P·B can send more air force and ground forces to Somalia on the grounds of security.
It doesn't need to be many. As long as the ground facilities are okay, a few Griffin-1 fighters can be placed there, saving the need to dispatch fighters from Yemen to Somalia every time.
Moreover, if the space center is to be completed, it will require several roads connecting the Kismayo Wharf and the surrounding areas, as well as a series of surrounding supporting construction.
These things are too precious for Somalia today!
If the space center can really operate in the future, then as an important port for receiving aerospace industry products from the world, the importance of Kismayo will be significantly enhanced.
Once Ethiopia's political problems are resolved and the destructiveness of the Youth Party is limited, the tentacles of the trade in China and South Africa can completely penetrate into the "Oromia Region" and "Somalia Region" in the southern half of Ethiopia from south to north through the "Juba River" and "Shabelle River".
The terminal plan for the trade in China and South Africa has proven its effectiveness in Congo, but Ethiopia, as a major 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 connected to Djibouti.
That little capacity can't meet the needs of the entire Ethiopia at all!
If Boss Qiao can solve the problem and mediate the political relationship between Ethiopia and Somalia at the same time, he can create a trade route out of thin air.
While nourishing the two countries, it can also lower the transportation cost of the trade in China and South Africa, allowing cheap materials to smoothly enter Ethiopia and take over the market there.
As a seaport, the Gabon Space Base in the movie The Wandering Earth is beneficial to the whole world, because it can more conveniently concentrate the basic resources of relatively developed West Africa and South Africa, and resources from Europe and America can quickly reach the Gulf of Guinea.
But for Boss Qiao, buying land in Gabon means that the important resources of his organization need to go around South Africa.
It is different in Somalia. The goods shipped from the old mother can be landed directly from Somalia, sailing thousands of kilometers less, 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 industry in Madagascar.
At the beginning, Boss Qiao promised to buy $1 billion in Madagascar bonds. Now the deal has been reached, and 70% of the money will be issued to Aaron's companies in the form of targeted loans.
With two 056s, the Madagascar government probably dare not default!
