King Of War: Starting with Arms Dealer

Qiao Liang looked at his suddenly appearing elder brother and exclaimed in surprise, "Brother, aren't you supposed to be in Kinshasa?"

Joe Ga spread his hands and said, "I've taken care of everyone I could, so what am I still doing there?

I'm the boss, should I fight with the workers for a job?"

"Huh?"

Qiao Liang said in astonishment, "Is everything in Kinshasa finished?"

Joe Ga waved his hand and said, "Not even close!

But staying there just means having meetings every day. Why not spend that time accompanying your sister-in-law?

Your nephew is due in a month, and I haven't been a qualified father, missing eight months. At least in the last month, I have to fulfill my responsibilities."

Saying this, Joe Ga looked at Qiao Liang's thin face and shook his head, "I heard from Dr. Bird about your matters, you've done very well!

But don't forget, you are the boss!

You've laid the foundation, helped the town through its toughest period, now it's time for you to step back and hand over work to others.

Zhuge Liang worked himself to death and never managed to defeat Si Mayi. It looks a bit foolish to do everything yourself when there are so many people available.

This place is dangerous, but we can afford to pay for the danger!

Tong Tong did very well by spending money to bring in dozens of Southeast Asian doctors; she's better than you!"

With that, Joe Ga looked at Tong Tong, who was giggling, and rubbed her head with a smile. He told Qiao Liang, "Your brain's not working; you should listen to your wife in the future!"

Tong Tong looked at Qiao Liang, who could only scratch his head and laugh foolishly. She grabbed him by the collar, pretending to be fierce, and said, "Did you hear? Brother said you have to listen to me from now on!"

Qiao Liang chuckled, "Yes, I'll listen to my wife!"

Tong Tong was momentarily stunned, then stood up under her mother's disapproving gaze, wrinkled her nose, thought for a moment, and said, "I feel like I've been cheated..."

Qiao Liang laughed, stood up, and took her hand, placing a flawless ring on her ring finger, seriously saying, "I'm the one taking advantage, so I'll be doubly good to you!

With your support, I can achieve much more!

If I can make the world slightly better, it's all due to you!"

Tong Tong felt a bit awkward with Qiao Liang's attitude, leaned into her mother's arms, stuck out her tongue at Qiao Liang, and happily said, "Let's celebrate the birthday first. You should make yourself a little happier!

Remember to include me when making a wish. Well, I'm not greedy, just let me lose ten pounds!"

Joe Ga looked at his brother, whose eyes were now only for someone else, and laughed as he pulled Gino, who was about to cause trouble, and told him to watch over his sister. Then he walked to the side of the boat, picked up the radio, and said, "Turn on all the lights, let the fleet dock in sequence.

Today is a good day, give everyone an extra meal!"

The 'oblivious' Qiao Liang had an unforgettable birthday, after which he found his elder brother…

Joe Ga leaned on the side of the ship, smilingly looking at Qiao Liang…

Seeing his brother looking lost and helpless, he laughed and said, "How does proposing feel?

Honestly, I haven't even done this proposing thing yet myself.

Seeing you make such a fuss, I feel a bit guilty…"

Qiao Liang was momentarily at a loss, not knowing how to respond, so he awkwardly said, "Brother, why don't we go upstairs and sit for a while? I'll show you the current state of Newborn Town…"

Joe Ga shook his head and said, "I'm not going. I'll head back once these containers are unloaded.

I'm not afraid of death, but I'm afraid of viruses.

I need to go back to be with your sister-in-law; I must be responsible for her and the child she carries."

Upon hearing this, Qiao Liang knew his brother was hinting at something, and he smiled bitterly, "Brother, I know I was wrong…"

Joe Ga shook his head and said, "You're not wrong, you've proven that you're responsible.

But sometimes you really can't think just about yourself…

I'm not perfect at this either because I often can't control my desire for thrills.

I can't criticize you for what I'm bad at; we need to change together…"

Qiao Liang helplessly said, "So it's still wrong…"

Joe Ga nodded and said, "I've been frustrated for the past year because I feel limited.

Your sister-in-law has never voiced concern, but I know that when she's not with me, she worries.

We have many things to do, and there will be more in the future, so you need to learn to spend money to buy time, even buy a sense of achievement.

You should have withdrawn when the first batch of supplies and personnel arrived. You did great, but you must trust that others can do it too, unless you want to work yourself to exhaustion?

"Then what will you do with Tong Tong and Aunt Yang?"

Qiao Liang walked up beside Joe Ga and leaned on the ship's railing, looking at the bustling riverbank not far away. He smiled and said, "Bro, I thought I'd found my life's value, just like you.

But now I realize that if I don't take care of those who love me, this so-called life's value is more like self-induced emotion."

Joe Ga looked at Qiao Liang, who had matured a lot, and laughed, "That's right!

First, take care of the people around you, then strive together to achieve your dreams — that's the real value in life!

We didn't have the means before, but now we do!"

Qiao Liang turned around and leaned back against the railing, looking at his brother, "Bro, are you really not leaving this time?"

Joe Ga nodded and said, "At least not for a while. I need to be there to see my child born and watch him grow up healthy.

The businesses related to me in Liberia, Iraq, and even America are basically stable now.

The situation in Congo is under control. What follows is time and effort needed for detailed work.

These are precisely my least strong areas!

Instead, I'd rather do something both your sister-in-law and I enjoy together.

Your sister-in-law has always wanted to go to Brazil, so I plan to take her there for a while after our baby is a month old.

Coincidentally, the vacation resort that the hunting company invested in over there is completed, and I've found some sloths that aren't too ugly, and your sister-in-law will surely like them."

Saying this, Joe Ga looked at Qiao Liang, who seemed hesitant to speak. He hesitated for a moment and said, "You've seen all there is to see in Africa. Leave the matters of Jia Liang Shipyard and the port to the professionals.

Before your nephew is born, I'll arrange for someone to escort you and Tong Tong to complete her 'scouting' plan — let you explore all the hunting company's properties in Africa. Consider it your engagement gift.

Use this time to recover your health, then return home and expand the scale of Jia Liang Trade, increasing investment in Congo.

Just a port isn't enough; you can leverage Jia Liang Trade's channels to expand the trade volume for both sides.

I plan to make some significant moves in Congo, and I need your full support.

If this succeeds, there will be hope for Congo, and P·B will be firmly established."

Qiao Liang listened and straightened up seriously, nodding, "Bro, don't worry, I'll do as you said..."

Joe Ga looked at Tong Tong in the distance, her face full of cake as she loudly chased and hit Gino. He laughed and said, "I'm just providing a general direction; you handle the specifics. If it's too troublesome, find suitable people to take care of it.

Your return is to oversee!

You're my brother. With you there, Jia Liang Trade can run smoothly."

Qiao Liang understood his brother's meaning. The two brothers — one overseeing things at home, the other breaking new ground abroad — ensured that Jia Liang Trade was the most stable.

Now that his brother was planning big moves, as his brother, Qiao Liang had to support him to the end.

Qiao Liang could hear the uncertainty in his brother's tone; he knew for sure there must be areas beyond his brother's control this time, so he had to do his work well and provide necessary support when needed.

With a firm nod to show he understood, Qiao Liang stopped talking. He ran a few steps to grab Gino, then let Tong Tong smear cake on that brat's face, pulled his new wife aside, and whispered a few words in her ear...

Tong Tong listened, excitedly rushed to Joe Ga's side, grabbed his arm, and exclaimed, "Bro, can we really go out and have fun?"

Joe Ga nodded matter-of-factly and said, "Of course, I'll give you a month. Just come back before your sister-in-law gives birth.

I'll have someone prepare a plane and arrange for protection while you visit the hunting company's properties, so you can see how generous your brother is. You'll have plenty of stories to brag about when you return."

Tong Tong jumped up in excitement, saying, "Can I bring more people with us?

Rafah and Sara are both a lot of fun. Rafah said she'd teach me skydiving, and Sara said she'd teach me horse riding.

They also play Mahjong, can I bring them with us?"

Joe Ga got a headache just hearing the names of the two Dubai princesses. He waved his hand and said, "Whatever you like, if they're willing, just take them."

Tong Tong nodded happily, "They'll definitely be willing. These two princesses are broke. They have to work to pay off their Mahjong losses to me. They want to go out and play but don't have money.

Seeing they even lost their gold bracelets to me, I ought to take them out for a trip."

Joe Ga was taken aback; he didn't expect these two princesses to be quite self-reliant, emulating Princess Amina's self-sufficiency...

He smiled and nodded, "Then hire them as spokespersons for your travel company. Having Dubai princesses as spokespeople will definitely bring immense traffic!"

Tong Tong gave Qiao Liang a hearty clap on the back and said, "See, I told you, bro definitely supports me. What's the big deal about princesses working? You guys are just worried about this and that…"

Joe Ga looked at Qiao Liang's troubled face, gave Tong Tong a thumbs up, and said, "You're absolutely right. Your brother loves your carefree attitude.

Since their parents don't care for them, our kindness means we do!

The travel company is about having fun. Taking them along and paying them is a good deed, and if anyone dares to criticize, they can come find me.

You go ahead and pay them. Sayyid is coming next month. Whatever amount you pay them, I'll have Sayyid add three zeros and invest it into your company."
