Chapter 1068: Dvali's Change
Joe Ga was very pleased with Dvali's offer, and the timing for the second payment was very well-considered...
'Year-end'!
This means that Shah's purge will conclude by year-end, and only then can the Crown Prince free up such a significant amount of funds.
No one doubts Shah's financial prowess; the only issue that can hinder Prince Salman is that he alone does not make all the decisions.
The internal problems must be resolved before he can freely utilize Shah's wealth.
Dvali gave such a pointed hint, waiting for Boss Joe to ask further so he could bring up some additional requests.
For example, having P.B. send someone to do some dirty work for Shah...
Boss Joe wouldn't fall for something like that; Shah's internal affairs are a mess.
The princes who might be purged themselves are inconsequential; a life is a life, but the network of relationships behind them is too complex.
Getting involved might earn money but would also drag P.B. through dirty waters, which isn't worthwhile at the current stage.
Boss Joe isn't afraid of Shah defaulting on the payment, so he wasn't the least bit polite to Dvali.
A verbal promise of 20 billion isn't enough; it must be in black and white, with the Shah government's stamp on it.
No matter what state Shah ends up in, Yemen is your Achilles' heel, and no matter who comes to power, this debt can't be denied.
Dvali felt extremely uncomfortable at this time, but he couldn't find a fault with Boss Joe, and after a few minutes of holding it in, he finally said helplessly: "Hu Lang, you have to give me a timeline, I need to report it higher up."
Joe Ga shook his head and chuckled, saying: "Buddy, this is war, I've already laid all my cards on the table, and you still want me to announce the timing of my actions?"
Dvali was slightly angered, saying: "You don't trust us..."
Dvali, seeing Joe Ga's slightly mocking expression, remembered the recent events in Yemen. He awkwardly shook his head and said: "Hu Lang, the faster you act, the more advantageous it is.
Both Al-Qaeda and the Houthi rebels need time to integrate the weapons they've seized."
Joe Ga laughed, shaking his head and said: "Pal, I'm a contractor, I respect the client's opinion, but you can't teach me how to fight a war.
If there are phases to war, I've already exceeded the contract content during the preparation period.
I'll go to Djibouti, but as for what I'll do next, that's my problem, you just need to see the result.
Maybe in Shah's eyes, mercenaries are nothing, but I'm different; I have to be responsible for the soldiers who come to work with me."
Saying this, Joe Ga looked earnestly at Dvali, saying: "Your Highness, I respect you, please also respect me.
You can stay by my side to supervise me, you have the right to make suggestions, but the final decision is mine!
I'd love to see you and those behind you become winners, but that doesn't mean I want to get involved in your internal affairs.
I'll go to Djibouti, but it'll be on my schedule!
I'm damn sure not one of those small-time bastards who blindly send soldiers to risk their lives for a bit of money!
If you're interested, we can talk about making movies, we can set aside other topics for now."
Dvali, as a core member of Prince Salman's circle, originally had immense pride and arrogance, but ever since he hitched up with Boss Joe, this arrogance has been continuously dissipating.
Vision, courage, execution, influence; Boss Joe thoroughly overshadowed Dvali in all aspects.
Worst of all, he didn't even know there were undercover agents around him, causing huge problems for everyone at the resort.
He used to enjoy being held on a pedestal, but later, besides Tahnoon from Abu Dhabi, because of vested interests, still maintained respect, everyone else's respect began to just scratch the surface.
When Boss Joe started speaking with a stern face, Dvali even felt a hint of nervousness.
'Building momentum' is an art!
You need to let people know what you've done, how many victories you've achieved...
All 'momentum' is nurtured by success and victory, whether in life, career, or on the battlefield, and ultimately becomes a part of the 'momentum'.
Half is the internal gain, which is confidence!
The other half is the external gain, which has to be visible, allowing others to know how you do things.
Just being confident is useless if people don't know what you've done.
The simplest example is when Boss Wang says a billion is just a 'small goal', he is commanding and confident.
The same statement made by a confident farmer would be dismissed by most as idiotic.
Wealth inspires blind trust and admiration, and Boss Joe's record of victories has the same effect.
Dvali witnessed first-hand how P.B. operates, so whenever it comes to discussing battles, he naturally lowers his stance in front of Boss Joe.
This feeling made Dvali extremely uncomfortable, and he continually wanted to pull himself together, but it was to no avail.
Every time he locked eyes with Boss Joe, the demands from him as a client would get suppressed back inside.
The frustrated Dvali didn't even notice his fishing rod trembling several times until the butler sitting across from him couldn't bear it anymore and took over the fishing, then quietly reminded him.
Seeing Boss Joe laughingly praising Adel, who caught a fish, Dvali hesitated for a long time before he said: "Hu Lang, we can't be friends, can we?"
Joe Ga was momentarily stunned, shrugged with a smile and said: "That depends on how you define friends?
When you consider me a friend, you wouldn't tell me to go to Yemen.
Because whatever I do, whether from a friend's standpoint or a collaborator's, is qualified, even exceeding expectations.
You should give me a thumbs-up and say thank you, then buy me a drink, rather than always seeing yourself as the paying client.
You always adopt the collaborator's stance towards me and then ask why we can't become friends. I feel a bit..."
Dvali comes from a distinguished family background and has been surrounded by flattery and praise since birth.
Such a person never introspects when something goes wrong!
Even if someone reminds him, he won't listen.
Because the person who reminds him lacks influence and naturally lacks persuasiveness to him.
Joe Ga is the first person who, while taking Shah's money, is still rude to Dvali.
The strange thing is, this time Dvali actually listened…
This arrogant prince for the first time seriously examined his interactions with Joe Ga, and realized that he indeed hadn't placed Joe Ga in a friend's position.
Perhaps he said it aloud, maybe he wanted to be friends with Joe Ga in his heart, but when it came to actual actions, pride and arrogance distorted everything.
Self-reflection is very rare for Dvali, but Joe Ga's immense influence began slowly prompting this prince to change.
Dvali remained silent for a long time until a sudden cheer erupted from the special forces in the distance…
Several members of Night Tiger collaborated and harpooned a fish weighing more than a hundred pounds!
Five thousand US Dollars per person was indeed too enticing…
Those who have officially retired unlike the Rabbit Squad were truly done with the old Rabbit's military system, enjoying the treatment of P·B's frontline special forces, which is the pay at level 15.
However, they haven't worked long enough, and haven't received much pay; suddenly getting $50,000 made these veterans ecstatic, and they performed most vigorously.
Everyone is born of parents; who doesn't want their family to live better?
Money is the best booster of happiness!
Seeing Joe Ga standing on the ship, applauding and cheering loudly towards Night Tiger in the distance, Dvali suddenly realized something…
The person in front of him is a true leader, an excellent leader aligned with P·B's core resources, namely 'soldiers'.
He knows what the soldiers need, and he knows how to stir their passion.
Such a person would absolutely not treat his subordinates as expendable, because soldiers are his core assets!
Look at Joe Ga's record; he basically hasn't fought an unprepared battle. P·B's soldiers mostly enjoy US Army-level logistics service during combat.
The logistics at such a level is extremely costly, but Joe Ga's investments in these bring soldiers' loyalty and continuous victories.
The derivative benefits brought by victory, like rolling a snowball, have made P·B grow larger and larger!
Shah has similar conditions, but corruption and internal power struggles have kept Shah's military from raising its combat power.
Just look at their air force; Shah possesses over 1,100 fighter jets, and a large number of helicopters, buying drones like buying model airplanes, and using million-dollar drones as consumables without caring.
Everything can be bought, but victory cannot!
At this moment, Dvali finally realized the true impact a powerful leader can have and understood that the pride he stubbornly held onto in the past was insignificant before such a person.
They simply don't care, and the reason they are polite to you is because 'you are my client', nothing more!
A person like Joe Ga, seemingly easy-going, but with too clear a goal and too clear a thought process!
Such individuals are destined for greatness!
Dvali knows his own limits and knows he needs to find reliable allies outside the Shah Royal Family.
Who else would be more suitable than Joe Ga?
After understanding a series of events, Dvali, who had always insisted on wearing white robes, even sitting with a straight back while on the boat, suddenly relaxed…
He looked at Joe Ga, who was bantering with a group of soldiers beside him, and suddenly said: "You're right, I shouldn't dictate to professionals.
Hu Lang, I have 15 sisters and 6 brothers, and I want to send them to Central Africa for a while.
The matter of Princess Amina made me understand that those girls shouldn't be treated as possessions; they also need their own lives.
At the same time, I also want to have a few of my brothers enter P·B for a period of learning…
We don't lack military education; we lack a kind of spirit that I can't describe. I believe they can find this spirit at P·B…
At least they won't be looked at differently at P·B!"
Upon hearing this, Joe Ga nonchalantly said: "They're welcome to come, if the princess wants to play she can find Tong Tong, if she wants to find something to do she can go to Princess Amina.
If the men want to be soldiers, no problem; P·B's assessment standards are there, and whatever level they reach, that's the position I'll give them. I have many vacant positions here, except there's no position of 'prince'."
Saying this, Joe Ga looked at Dvali with a smile and said: "It looks like your future is with the Shah army. What position did Prince Salman promise you?
Perhaps we'll have a chance for long-term cooperation in the future…"
