Chapter 256: Descendants

Zhou Han followed Cao Mo and Xie Enpeng downstairs and saw Xiao Jun accompanied by several tall, European-African men standing in the lobby waiting.

Among these people, Zhou Han recognized Brahm, the youngest son of the Rupert family, as a descendant of colonists, Brahm's appearance was closer to that of white Europeans and Americans, tall and with deep facial features.

After Abacha came forward to unite the four major families such as Felician, Blake, Oppenheimer and Rupert to form Sika Idet Power Grid Company, Brahm has been acting on behalf of the Rupert family as a director of the power grid company, and has a close relationship with Abacha and Cao Mo, and Sika Idet Power Grid and Conero Energy are inseparable upstream and downstream companies with close business ties.

In the United Sika family and the Oppenheimer family participated in the formation of Sanchez and Blue Star Rental Company, Bram was the leader.

Even if the Jidam family and the Lu family used to focus on Abacha, Ojosan and Shen Ji, Brahm is also a very important character.

As soon as Shen Ji left, Brahm appeared in Peimei Harbor, and a spark seemed to burst out in Zhou Han's mind, and at this moment he had already guessed what Cao Mo's plan was.

Sometimes it does not mean that if you know any secrets, or if you have any resources in your hands, you will definitely be able to profit from the complex situation, the key is to have a suitable entry point or grasp.

For example, the Lu family already knew that Ufu Bonia was plotting to launch a military government, and the Lu family could mobilize millions or even tens of millions of dollars to support Ufu Bonia at any time in exchange for future interests in Akwa, but it was impossible for Lu Yan to go directly to Ufu Bonia and say: "Dude, you want to carry out a coup d'état, our Lu family supports you!"

If the Lu family wants to intervene in the situation where the storm is about to break out in Akwa, and even want to directly participate in the inducement of the storm, they need a suitable entry point and grasp, otherwise, why did they turn back to Xie Sipeng?

Similarly, if Cao Mo wants to realize his ambitions in the midst of the changes that will occur in Akwa at any time, he also needs the right entry point and grasp.

Zhou Han understood:

Brahm in front of him is his entry point and gripper.

As the group walked into the dining room, Brahm introduced the mixed-race men who were traveling with him.

Regardless of their positions at this time, Zhou Han found that they and Brahm had one thing in common, that is, they were both descendants of colonists.

This further confirmed her suspicions.

Although Kanem and Akwa were both British colonies, and after getting rid of colonial rule, there were also a large number of descendants of colonists who stayed for various reasons and did not move to settle in the suzerain, but in the past few days, Zhou Han helped Cao Mo sort out this information and knew that the situation of the descendants of the colonizers in these two countries was still different.

As early as the fifties and sixties of the last century, with the rise of anti-colonial ideology on the African continent, the descendants of the colonizers were politically suppressed by the mainstream ethnic groups that made up the absolute majority of the local population throughout the African region.

However, in Kanem, several military junta coups came to power, and there are Western forces behind the scenes, and European and American consortia have always directly penetrated into Kanem's economic lifeline, controlling Kanem's most important crude oil extraction and export from all angles.

As a result, even under the military junta, the descendants of the colonists maintained great influence in the economic sphere of Kanem.

And stay until Kanem

The end of the military junta and the entry of the era of democratically elected government, Oppenheimer, Rupert and others rose rapidly politically, and even had a tendency to regain dominance economically.

In Akwa, the situation is different.

In the early days of Akwa, the military government was relatively mild towards the descendants of the colonizers, but after the radical group of national officers led by Saweiyi came to power in a coup d'état, it politically severed its ties with Western society, expelled European and American companies, nationalized energy and mineral development, and spared no effort to suppress the descendants of colonists at home.

After the independence of Akwa, even though the descendants of the hundreds of thousands of colonists who still settled in this land were naturally close to Britain and France and other suzerains in terms of blood and culture, their influence had almost been completely eliminated from the political and economic field of Akwa.

In recent years, in order to pry open the door of Akwa, they have mainly sought cooperation and support from people close to the West among the Aken people, who account for the absolute majority of Akwa's population.

In other words, although the descendants of the colonizers are one of the groups most eager for political change in Akwa, they have always belonged to the forgotten, the outcast.

As a result, in the midst of the surging wave of political change in Akwa at this time, there was little decent voice from the colonizers' descendants.

For Cao Mo, who is not very powerful, "people take me and abandon me, people abandon me and take me" is the only choice that can be made - and if he is among the existing mainstream forces in Akwa that are promoting political change, why should he compete with the European and American conglomerates that have infiltrated Akwa for many years and are extremely powerful?

Is it just because of him that he is grateful to Dade?

People who abandon themselves, even with limited investment, can reap the greatest gratitude from those who have been abandoned and forgotten.

The direction and goal are locked, and the most critical question is how to get involved.

How did the descendants of the colonists in Akwa accept Cao Mo's support and give them handsomely in return at the right time, and how can they build enough trust with each other?

This is where the importance of Brahm's core grip comes in.

After Saviyi came to power, the government authorities adopted a high-pressure posture towards the descendants of the colonists, and the descendants of the colonists of Akwa wanted to move to Britain at that time, and the vast majority of them were no longer qualified.

However, after the late 90s, the political and economic atmosphere of Benin, Kanem and other West African countries became more relaxed towards the descendants of the colonizers, and at the same time, Akwa belonged to the Economic Community of West African States, so that a large number of descendants of the colonizers came out of Akwa to Benin and Kanem to find work or settle down.

And the descendants of these colonists who came from Akwa to Kanem and Benin to find work and settle are also the descendants of the colonists who have the most contact with Kanem, and even directly take them in.

Regardless of its operating conditions, the Dracula Power Group is a behemoth in the economic field of Kanem, and it is also a company that is operated and managed by a large number of descendants of colonizers and backed by Western conglomerates, with hundreds of descendants of colonists who have moved out of Akwa working in Deli or affiliated and affiliated enterprises.

Cao Mo wants to use Brahm as a key grasp to reach out to the hundreds of thousands of descendants of colonists who are most eager for political change in Akwa!

Of course, Zhou Han will not forget the Tubman family, which is also a descendant of the colonists, and the combination of the Tubman family and Cao Mo, or the dependence on Cao Mo, is even closer.

Zhou Han now understands that Cao Mo or Shen Ji was Cao Mo from the beginning

Figuring out where the general direction they are going to go, combing through various materials in the past few days is just a matter of repeatedly scrutinizing and figuring out the details that can be implemented in this direction.

"What, now that you've figured it out?"

Cao Mo put his hand on the back of the chair where Zhou Han was sitting, leaned over and laughed in a low voice,

"I have the same goal as you at the moment, but in order to prevent Liang Yuan from breeding unnecessary ambitions at this juncture, when you report to him, it's best not to be too detailed, just say that I will set up a shipping company next - of course, if you are not afraid of Liang Yuan's suspicion of staying by his side, you can tell me more in front of him, and you will soon see your true colors!"

Zhou Han looked sideways at Cao Mo, shook his head and swept the soft ends of his hair to Cao Mo's face, and asked in a low voice: "Stari and the Tubman family should be a more critical part of your whole plan, why didn't I see her come to Akva - such a beautiful beauty, she should be obedient to you at this time, right?"

"I've been putting the answer in front of you for days, and it's a little cute that you don't want to admit defeat now. Cao Mo smiled.

Zhou Han rolled his eyes at Cao Mo.

"Gallon Targaryen is the founder of the Guinea shipping company, and if we were to rebuild a new shipping company, it would be very complicated, and Tianyue plans to join Sika, Felician, Rupert and Oppenheimer families to buy the Guinean shipping company, and Mr. Targaryen will remain as CEO,"

Cao Mo no longer flirted with Zhou Han, and said to Xie Sipeng,

"If you and Guo Hongliang are willing to participate, your ship assets can be merged to expand the scale of the shipping company together, or the Guinean shipping company can buy the ship in your hand alone, it is also okay......

Cao Mo then calmly introduced some information about the Guinean shipping company to Xie Sipeng.

Guinean shipping companies are very limited in size and are mainly dependent on the Draculamo power group, transporting the coal needed for thermal power generation for the Draculamo power group between the Bayelsa coal-producing area and the port of Draculamo.

Although it is an offshore transportation, after the mainstream coal carriers between the port of Draculamo and the Bayelsa coal-producing area have been upgraded to the level of 350,000 tons, the Guinean shipping company still has only a few 5,000-ton coal carriers in its hands, and the benefits can be imagined.

Gallon Targaryen has always wanted to use the Rupert family to undertake short-distance cement transportation business from the Conero cement plant, and Cao Mo has also been in contact with him several times.

However, the Guinean shipping company's current small and medium-sized bulk carriers have the capacity to transport bagged cement, and do not have the capacity to purchase or modify special bulk cement carriers, and the business cooperation has not been negotiated.

After Cao Mo and Shen Ji clearly intervened in the general direction of the situation in Akwa, Abacha directly pulled Brahm in Draculamo, found Garon Tangrian, and proposed to buy the Guinean shipping company.

The Guinean shipping company is too small, has been poorly run in recent years, and has incurred huge debts, which is already insolvent, and Galleon Targaryen, who is in his early forties, is also emaciated.

Now that he sells the company, although he himself will not be able to get much money, he will be able to relieve all the debt pressure on his body, and he himself can continue to serve as the CEO of the Guinea shipping company, get a high salary and retain a small number of shares, which is undoubtedly an option that he cannot refuse......
