MTLNOVEL Chapter 1075 New Methods
Joe has new tactics!
Because his Omnipotent Toolbox has been upgraded!
Due to the current situation, Joe Ga gave up the idea of making super batteries and invested all his energy into upgrading the manufacturing space.
Previously, the manufacturing space was only the size of a container, but after this round of upgrades, Joe Ga has acquired a huge manufacturing space measuring 20 meters in length and width, and 6 meters in height.
Emergency maintenance and even production of fighter jets will become as simple as drinking water for Joe!
But that's not the most important part; the most crucial thing is that Joe's secret production capacity has experienced a leap forward.
In the past, P·B used 250-kilogram bombs or cluster bombs, but now it's different. With the expanded space and improved efficiency of the Omnipotent Toolbox, Joe can increase the investment in 'Gryphon' missiles without delaying cluster bomb production.
The few 'Gryphon' cruise missiles that Aaron gave Joe are true weapons of mass destruction. This missile, weighing a ton, comes in two models: penetration and fragmentation.
This time, jet fighters will take center stage; Joe can't use the 250-kilogram little ones as the main force. He must deploy the big ones, and the 'Gryphon Missile' made in South Africa will, along with 800-kilogram cluster bombs, become the true main force of the attack.
The old mother has already delivered the anti-radiation missiles, and the enemy's air defense force can be practically ignored.
When everyone thought it would be a ground confrontation, Joe would bring everyone a big surprise!
That's the reason Joe isn't in a hurry. If not for the constant urging from Djibouti, he would have flown to America to visit the film crew.
But it doesn't matter anymore; things are moving as he predicted. Now, he wants to enjoy a rare holiday for a few days, spending time with his wife, lover, and child.
Compared to those special forces sent off for training, Joe is much more relaxed.
He took Sayyid's yacht out, taking Nis and the Kitten for sightseeing everywhere.
Gino grabbed a local native who makes a living from fishing to be the guide, allowing Joe to thoroughly enjoy his fishing habit and helped Nis collect a Sloth family.
Joe still doesn't see the appeal of these stinky creatures, but since Nis likes them, he's happy to put effort into it.
A week later, the Amazon Dragon Boat Race took place as scheduled...
This event made waves throughout Manaus!
The local Chinese community in Brazil spontaneously chartered boats to come, and a large number of Manaus residents followed to watch. Brazilian TV arranged a broadcast team to cover the race.
Brazilians excel at football and have produced F1 legend Senna, but they haven't really experienced the thrill of racing boats.
10-person group curve sprints, with a helmsman, a commander, eight rowers, a rapid start, and acceleration in curves...
The onlookers then realized that rowing can be this exciting!
P·B's special forces were completely defeated by the natives in the races...
The special forces personnel don't particularly care about winning or losing in rowing, but Brazilians are different. The victorious natives, as if winning the World Cup, spontaneously organized a grand celebration ceremony.
At this grand occasion, the native councilor expressed his most sincere gratitude to Joe.
And then Joe was surprised that this native councilor even pulled together a group of fellow native politicians, using the most formal attitude, to invite Rocinha Company to come and invest in the State of Amazonas.
The poor road traffic here naturally doesn't suit the development of delivery and express businesses. Only within the city of Manaus is there a narrow ground for Rocinha Company to survive.
However, delivery isn't the key here. Promoting P·B Bank to expand share, and meanwhile utilizing Manaus port, leveraging the special local protection powers of the State of Amazonas parliament, to dabble in import-export business is still profitable.
This is an unexpected surprise, yet it's something Joe has always pursued...
No need to live as a saint, but as long as the conditions permit, try to do positive things...
Living up to one's conscience can let the mind be at ease, and when one lives transparently, many good things will come their way.
Not simply pursuing 'profit', but maintaining a good mood oneself, don't neglect small good acts...
Persistently doing positive things not only refines one's spirit but also effectively filters the people around, creating a comfortable environment for oneself.
The scattered goodwill will eventually accumulate into energy providing feedback to people.
Joe's energy is great now, so the feedback he receives will be enormous!
Ordinary people are actually the same; everyone can still receive feedback after contributing goodwill.
Too many people complain, "I'm an honest person and have never done bad things, so why don't I get good rewards?"
But reality is that honesty and kindness are not positively correlated; honesty born from weakness inherently attracts malice.
There's nothing wrong with being honest; it's just human nature, and honest people naturally become targets of bullies and even scams.
Truly kind people are generally tolerant but never weak...
When going uphill, if he saw someone unable to push a tricycle, he would lend a hand; if he saw someone hungry because they had no money, he would buy them some buns for a meal; if he saw someone committing an evil act, he would shout...
Kind-hearted people do these things not for praise from others, but because they themselves derive energy and joy from it.
It is often said that heaven aids those who are kind, not in the sense that doing good necessarily leads to reward, but that kind-hearted people are inherently open-minded, making it easier for them to reconcile with themselves, thus avoiding the greatest killer of a happy life—negative emotions.
Boss Qiao could hardly be called kind-hearted; he adhered to the more positive aspects of universal values, winning all the way and in return garnering many friends and loyal subordinates.
The harvest always brings joy, and Boss Qiao, full of delight, threw the rainforest combat to those 'advertising teams,' and then took his large family and special forces personnel on a private jet directly to Djibouti.
.........
There are four countries on either side of the Gulf of Aden: Yemen, Eritrea, Djibouti, and Somalia.
Currently, only Djibouti is doing relatively well, because it guards the narrowest passageway from the Gulf of Aden to the Red Sea. To make money, they straightforwardly leased their land to foreign countries as military bases.
Whether they did so voluntarily or not is no longer necessary to analyze...
When a geographically advantageous small country completely abandons political inclination and all ambitions, in the circumstances of big brothers counterbalancing each other, life can still go on.
America once made arrangements on the West Bank of Yemen and in Djibouti, attempting to control this area.
Then the issue of Somali Pirates was constantly magnified by Europeans who suffered from it...
This exactly coincided with the disappearance of that famous airplane, stirring anger in the motherland and prompting naval deployment for search and rescue at sea.
Finally, the navy broke through the maritime blockade, directly reaching Africa, and ultimately established an overseas military base in Djibouti under the guise of escorting rights during America's power transfer, ensuring the safety of China's and Europe's trade routes.
Europe, so as to prevent America from choking the maritime throat, naturally remained silent, while America probably harbored some ulterior motives and did nothing in the Gulf of Aden.
Thus, Djibouti became the overseas port for the world's naval superpowers!
A country collecting rent for being a military base, Djibouti is certainly unique in this regard.
When Boss Qiao's plane landed at Djibouti airport, he found it somewhat better than he had imagined.
The airport terminal was newly built, and despite the desolate surroundings, there were large construction sites everywhere, with infrastructure better than in more than half of Africa's countries.
The moment Boss Qiao disembarked, he saw Big Head Zhu waiting at the end of a red carpet with a batch of Djibouti politicians.
The defense exhibition initiated by Boss Qiao, based on the Yemeni war, brought Djibouti economic benefits comparable to hosting a World Cup.
Too many people flocked to Djibouti; the advance arrivals from various factories filled the somewhat upscale hotels in Djibouti's central region.
Subsequent arrivals included a large number of potential arms buyers, as well as many media and individuals interested in this unexpected defense exhibition.
When a war is publicly commercialized, its influence multiplies geometrically, benefiting not only Boss Qiao but everyone involved in this chain of war, even al-Qaeda before the division of victory or defeat.
Without Boss Qiao, they couldn't have raised such sponsorship in twenty years, never standing in the center of world media like the old brother LD once did.
For P·B and al-Qaeda, this is a war leveraged dozens of times; winning means a huge harvest, losing brings financial ruin.
Djibouti sat at home and got hit with a big pie, not needing to bear responsibility. Just serving these bigwigs well might turn into hosting such events every two years like those super defense exhibitions.
The economic stimulus is unparalleled, for everyone's spending is foreign exchange. As long as they spend money, it's pure revenue for the country.
From Zhu's position, one can see how this former foreman truly made it.
Once needing to rent construction machinery from a neighboring Chinese site for road surface hardening and septic tank building in Ad-Damazin, old Zhu is now a major infrastructure tycoon in Africa.
Joe Ga holding Igor walked up to old Zhu, looking at this very elite middle-aged man, smiled, and said, "Mr. Zhu looks good, how's the progress on the defense exhibition?"
Old Zhu didn't rush to answer Joe Ga's question; instead, he winked and greeted a group of Djibouti officials behind him.
Then, after everyone boarded the bus, he took hold of Boss Qiao and whispered, "Boss, I've been controlling the pace of the defense exhibition. The stuff you want is quite urgent; I don't have great channels, so I could only spend more money to drag it over."
Glancing at a few Djiboutian officials nearby, old Zhu whispered, "The stuff is right at their port; these folks are very accommodating...
Boss, these folks intend to cooperate with us long-term at the defense exhibition, for this they handed the infrastructure projects around our rented land parcel to Big Head Construction.
This is big business!"
Joe Ga smiled at a few Djibouti officials, then said, "They just want to establish an exhibition company in the name of P·B to bolster the defense exhibition, right?
Go ahead, they provide land and infrastructure, we handle management. Discuss the specific revenue yourself with them.
Remember, it's okay if the profit is lower, but the management rights must be in our hands."
He rubbed his chin and smiled, saying, "First, take me to the dock, I need to see if the stuff meets my requirements..."
