King Of War: Starting with Arms Dealer-Chapter 1622 - 1321: Great Fortune, Launching Satellites

There are more and more buildings on Joe Ga's estate, not because Joe needs them, but because these Arab princes treat it like a daycare center.

Sayyid's children attend school in Dubai, but they stay here for one third of the year.

Two famous Dubai princesses, under the guise of tourism ambassadors, stubbornly stuck around here, and their close Dubai girlfriends also come to stay regularly.

Their stud-father is very prolific, the age range of these princesses is enormous, and Joe always gets them mixed up.

Qatar's Al Sani sent over several sisters, including his eldest daughter who is already 15 years old, to accompany Princess Amina, and now they've become proficient in charity work.

Shah Dewali, due to his deep connections with Joe Ga, has his eldest and second sons currently in training at the P·B base.

Tahnoon from Abu Dhabi spent big money on a pretty Arab-style building on the hill, and his wife visits annually with their children.

Plus, Tong Tong's princess tour groups just never seem to stop, sometimes it's really indescribable at Joe Ga's place...

If it were up to Joe Ga's character, he'd certainly parcel out some land elsewhere for them to build houses...

But Nis, who is so indifferent, unexpectedly enjoys welcoming these guests...

She seems particularly happy to showcase Joe Ga's generosity and hospitality!

Joe Ga feels a bit helpless about this situation, but after a while, he's gotten used to it.

Even though he really can't tell who's who among these girls, the house is indeed bustling...

Later he gradually realized, as long as there's enough funding and you're mentally open, actually having a lively place isn't bad at all.

Whenever Qiao Liang and Tong Tong go to the Middle East, they stay in the homes of these prince friends.

It's just their custom!

And having a bunch of wealthy families' princesses staying at home comes with other benefits...

Every time the mayor of Sangha Town, Lenore, has funding issues, she comes here to shed a tear, immediately gathering quite a bit of money.

The convertible transport car in Sangha Town was cried for like this; recently Lenore is preparing to cry for street lights...

During this virus-ravaged period, Sangha Town has avoided outside attention and developed rapidly.

Rail to Congo will be operational in half a year, the track spanning Northern Congo is like an arm clutching Northern Congo's resource area, once operational, Sangha Town's steel industry will see a second boom.

That will be a time for true upgrade and replacement, abandoning high-energy coking coal steel-making for natural gas steel-making, not only efficient but also slightly easing air pollution.

In the past, when the world was normal, Joe Ga dared not use external assistance to develop recklessly...

But now it's different, everyone is preoccupied, France is in chaos, with no thoughts on peeping into Sangha Town's matters.

These foreigners without any saving habits, matched with large numbers of migrants and refugees from Africa and the Middle East, can that still be good?

As the global hunting group CEO, Sayyid is now also spirited, facing a second-line prince like Al Sani, this third-line small influencer has gained the capital to stand proud because of the global hunting group's development.

Against the virus' backdrop, the demand for high-end tourism remains strong, and the higher-end the demand, the larger it is!

While the capital market mourns, the evolution of the global industrial chain stalls, the exotic combination of resort plus natural resources has instead attracted capital's favor.

So 'luck' is really hard to talk about!

It might really be that there's something like 'national luck' enabling some people and nations to turn calamities into blessings amidst adversity!

Joe Ga in Sangha Town spent a few years on infrastructure, suddenly an outbreak occurs, giving him a blank period, allowing reckless development, taking less than 10 months to complete what other countries might need over ten years.

The situation with dear mother is even more peculiar, sure the virus caused huge losses, but it disrupted Europe and America's separation steps, giving her time to breathe...

As Southeast Asia and India's area mourns, demand again concentrates on dear mother, with foreign trade and manufacturing rising against the trend.

The cockroaches on Harbour Island caused a big mess under European and American backing, but when the virus crisis came, they not only exposed Harbour Island's people's sentiments but missed key timing due to lockdown...

Once National Act A passed, it instantly blocked Europe and America's channels for stirring trouble on Harbour Island, all monsters and spirits fled, leaving a group of brainwashed, irrational youths causing trouble, no longer a big deal.

Linking the virus with national luck is somewhat improper, but catching opportunities amid danger and achieving success requires not only personal capability but luck is equally crucial!

Now no one talks about 'decoupling', everyone hopes dear mother can release productivity to alleviate their internal crisis.

Who's holding resources at this stage is the boss...

While dear mother is exerting political power, Jia Liang trade has completed new governance over previously integrated trade routes, and with Joe Ga's production of medical supplies, expanded this trade route to South America...

Because of Europe and America's blockade of medical supplies, Jia Liang trade is now the United Nations' lifeline, completely activating the humanitarian corridor's capability.

Money is being made beyond count!

Sayyid, not knowing whether out of envy or otherwise, approached Joe Ga, bent down and touched young Isabel's cheek, only to be kicked in the calf by a dirty Igor...

Joe Ga quickly reached out to stop Igor's impending profanity, and helplessly said, "From now on, don't say dirty words..."

Igor stared wide-eyed at his old man, nodded absent-mindedly, and then pulled his sister's stroller a bit farther from Sayyid...

Joe Ga looked displeased at Sayyid, who was interrupting his family time, and said, "What else do you want?"

Sayyid glanced at the big crocodile lying on the ground, took a step back, and said, "Hu Lang, do you think I should take this opportunity to invest more in the hunting company?

We've completed our setup around the equator; it's time to consider other places.

Actually, besides Africa, the real big ones are in relatively cold places.

Finland, Iceland, Siberia, Alaska, those places are rich in natural resources, and the laws are pretty sound.

If we take advantage of this opportunity, it's easy to complete negotiations and acquire large tracts of land and animal resources."

Joe Ga was stunned for a moment, then said, "You mentioned those places have sound laws, so what money can be made by setting up resorts and hunting permits in snowy wastelands?

But you're a big shot now, so whatever you want to do, I'll support you!

At worst, just stake out the land first, and deal with future matters later..."

Sayyid listened, shook his head in slight disappointment, and said, "You're right, investing in those places makes it difficult to gain returns.

I just feel the hunting company has hit a bottleneck, but I'm not sure what to do next?

Hu Lang, being your friend is stressful, being a partner is even more stressful..."

Joe Ga paused for a bit, rubbed his chin, and amusingly said, "Really, having money to burn and no place to spend is painful, isn't it?

If you truly have money with no place to spend, go to America to check out SpaceX, and ask if that Silicon Valley Iron Man is selling the Starlink...

If he's not selling, we'll just throw money at it ourselves!

The Hexagon Building folks can create cheap, durable commercial satellites. If he's not selling, let's launch satellites ourselves, and occupy the low orbit space first...

Now, launching a Chinese rocket costs only 10 million US dollars, if you're interested, let's first launch some high-orbit communication satellites, with 8 to 12, we can achieve global communication."

Sayyid hadn't expected Boss Joe would suddenly shift the topic to satellites, he widened his eyes and clutched his wallet, saying, "Satellites are expensive, ground systems engineering is even more costly, and they depreciate quickly, never recouping the investment, leasing is more cost-effective.

What exactly do you want to do?"

Joe Ga looked at Sayyid with disdain and said, "Just a moment ago, you were saying you have money with nowhere to spend, and when I brought up satellites, you backed off."

Sayyid said in grievance, "You suddenly hit me with this, I'm not used to it...

What's the point of dealing with satellites?

Just to have a personal global communication network?

Satellite phones work pretty well right now!"

Joe Ga pulled out his satellite phone and said, "I have a friend, he's not wealthy, but his company spent significantly to acquire a European communications company just for him and his clients to ensure calls weren't tapped.

I initially shared similar thoughts with you, but now that I've become rich...

Acquiring Tesla is a joke, maintaining something like Starlink is cumbersome, but I'm serious about launching satellites.

I certainly can't develop a positioning system, but I can ensure my pilots, when flying out of the unmanned airship's radiation range, won't have their communication overheard, and that's enough!"

Sayyid wasn't privy to who Joe Ga's 'not-so-wealthy friend' was, he shook his head in misunderstanding and said, "I don't get it, but if you need it, I'm willing to invest a part.

Actually, I think unmanned airships are much better than Starlink's low-orbit satellites..."

Joe Ga spread his hands and said, "Exactly, I want to use my own satellites to link the signals of all the branch bases' unmanned airships."

I now use others' base stations as relays, which is basically like being naked in the eyes of those interested.

If you're unwilling to invest in satellites, go grab some shares from SpaceX; the company is currently seeking financing.

Their reusable rockets succeeded, but many technologies need improvement, and Starlink needs twelve thousand satellites for full coverage, requiring significant funding now."

Those small satellites aren't worth much, but they cheekily occupy low orbit, and in the future, each position there will be valuable!

Whatever is invested now can be doubled back later!"

Sayyid thought it over and said, "I've heard of this company, they've been losing money...

Hu Lang, does this company really have value?"

Joe Ga spread his hands and said, "Business, see how you spin it!

Their boss is a formidable character, listing SpaceX for funding definitely won't be a problem!"
