Chapter 434: The Power of Unity

"It's not that you have to be scared to see Miss Mantal to be happy, it's that Sturgeon doesn't know enough about Mr. Mantal's mind and ambitions, and she needs to test Miss Mantal,"

The arranger accompanied Mei Mantal back to the room and quickly packed his luggage, and when Mei Mantal sat in the car angrily, his towering chest rose and fell violently, Cao Mo explained some details to her.

"Please also ask Mantal to understand Sturgeon's caution, after all, in the eyes of outsiders, even if Mr. Mantal is wary of the Saviyi family, he really can't understand why he doesn't cooperate with the Evans Foundation. We are also sure that there are many important members of the Front for the Promotion of Democracy who are very close to the Evans Foundation, and it is difficult to say whether Mr. Mantar's life is in danger if he shows the attitude of parting ways with the Evans Foundation, but Mr. Mantar's position in the Front for Democracy will certainly be threatened, and it is not even impossible for him to be replaced by others. Sturgeon had such and such concerns, and it was difficult for him to realize for a moment that Mr. Mantal's love for this land was so deep, that he would never act for the tiger and help the Evans Foundation continue to plunder this land as an accomplice......"

Seeing that Cao Mo spoke so highly of her father, the resentment in Maye Mantal's heart disappeared, and she also agreed with Cao Mo's reason.

Her father also guessed that Cao Mo and Sturgeon had reached an agreement that they were not known to outsiders, but Sturgeon had no previous contact with them, which meant that she would probably stay in Draculamo and get nothing because of Sturgeon's hesitation and questioning.

She stayed at the Lana Dere Hotel for two days, and did not wait for Cao Mo to come to the door, her father had advised her to leave Draculamo immediately, so as not to arouse the alarm of the Saviyi family and the Evans Foundation, but she insisted on continuing to venture to stay in Draculamo, but waited in a hotel anonymously.

She didn't know when she had such high expectations for Cao Mo in her heart.

Fortunately, Cao Mo did not live up to her expectations.

"In the past few years, Tianyue has been sincerely building and developing on this land, so I firmly believe that I am the most unwavering collaborator in Mr. Mantal's heart, but it is necessary to convince Sturgeon that it takes a process, so I specially arranged such a small test," Cao Mo continued. Sturgeon is now convinced that Mr. Mantar and Miss Mantar are trusted collaborators, and he has now split up with us and has secretly traveled to Akwa to meet several of Banco Nacional Ultramarino's core clients in Akva, while we return overland to Peme ......"

"My father will visit Cotonou tomorrow, and if you can falsify my entry and exit records to Cotonou, Benin, via Pemei, we can go to Cotonou to meet my father directly. Maye Mantar said.

"Okay, we just arranged for a person who is five or six points similar to Miss Mantar in figure and appearance to leave a record in the corresponding hotel and immigration department with forged documents," Cao Mo said, "Although the Evans Foundation is wary of Mr. Mantal, after all, Mr. Mantar is our main collaborator in Akwa, but they obviously believe that Mr. Mantar has a 'wise' choice in mind - so we can be sure that the Evans Foundation has not arranged personnel to directly target Mr. Mantar for the time being. Miss Mantal, you ......."

"They're obviously underestimating you!" said Maye Mantal.

Cao Mo smiled slightly and said, "Tianyue has thin arms and legs, if you can't take advantage of the arrogance and arrogance of the Evans Foundation, it is really not easy to mix in this continent!"

Ryan Fortis may well have studied Tianyue deeply, but he has only been with the Evans Foundation for a specific purpose for a short period of one year, and he may not be able to win the trust of the Evans Foundation's top management. Even if Ryan Fortis's plan for Tianyue aroused strong interest from the senior management of the Evans Foundation, it was impossible to use the resources of the Evans Foundation without restrictions, and perhaps the Evans Foundation would be suppressed and excluded by the elderly to a certain extent.

Ryan Fortis initially wanted to call Avena Foster to "scare the snake", not because of his personal arrogance, but because of the arrogance of the Evann Foundation, Ryan Fortis did not have enough support, and the means at his disposal were limited - it was obviously impossible for Bardina Seviyi Jr. to be led by the nose by Ryan Fortis.

What Cao Mo has to do now is to maintain the status quo as much as possible, so that they can secretly buy as much time as possible to make targeted layouts.

Otherwise, the Evans Foundation would have been too passive to persuade the Saweiyi family to directly use the power of the Akwa state to forcibly participate in it, regardless of public opinion and other negative influences.

Not to mention the other more terrible consequences, even if the construction and production of the Uzan River copper-gold mine and the other two gold mines of the Ibogu Mining in Akwa were interrupted for two or three years after the forced intervention of the Akwa state forces, how much did they lose?

Juan Mantar temporarily cut off direct contact with this side, but Cao Mo naturally had channels to know Juan Mantal's itinerary.

Seeing that Juan Mantar didn't mind meeting them secretly in Cotonou after receiving a call from Maye Mantal, Cao Mo also knew that Juan Mantal had made a final decision, and immediately told Maye Mantal some details of his cooperation with Sturgeon:

"Sturgeon has always paid attention to Ryan Fortis's itinerary, so his residence in Draculamo, Sturgeon actually knew about it immediately," Cao Mo said, "Ryan Fortis and the Evans Foundation have successfully aroused the ambitions of the Evans Foundation's senior management for the Usan River copper-gold mine, but unfortunately the Evann Foundation is still too arrogant, and from the situation of Ryan Fortis's residence in Draculamo, it can be judged that he has not received much support from the Evans Foundation management." So on the third day after you accompanied Avena to Draculamo, I negotiated a partnership with Sturgeon and immediately arranged for a full monitoring of Ryan Fortis - Avena got my contract, studied it for half the night, confirmed it with her experience, and then went to Ryan Fortis the next morning to try out and convince him to quit. But I certainly can't expect this little trap to fool Ryan Fortis. At that time, he even thought of pretending to break up with Avena and let Avena return to London first with the contract, so that he could restrain Sturgeon. So, I arranged a shooting in the middle of the process, destroying Avenna's tenuous trust in Ryan Fortes...... Miss Mantar doesn't think I should be law-abiding at this point, does she?"

"This is a forced counterattack, not to mention that Ryan Fortis has ill intentions against Avenna, and Avenna has not been substantially harmed," Maye Mantal knew that so many details were in line with her previous judgment, and said with emotion, "But considering the current situation of the Foster family, if you want to continue to stabilize Avenna, that contract cannot be invalidated at will, how to deal with it?"

"Sturgeon will directly bid $20 million in the name of Volkov Investment to buy that contract, and Volkov Investment will fulfill the equity purchase agreement!" Cao Mo said, "$20 million is obviously more trustworthy than the so-called love......

"When the Vulkov Petrochemical Group is completed, the value of 25% of the shares will be much higher than the contract price!" says Maye Mantal.

"It starts with the structure of Volkov's investment...... Cao Mo said.

As a member of the Foster family, Sturgeon has little money to draw upon, and his income as senior vice president of Banco Nacional Ultramarino in charge of international business is far from what he imagined.

He controlled Banco Nacional Ultramarino's international operations, and put a large number of clients' little-known funds into special trust funds issued by Banco Nacional Ultramarino, which were the cornerstone of his investments of up to six or seven billion dollars before and after Volkov.

As a result, Sturgeon's role at Banco Nacional Ultramarino became extremely important.

Once his position was replaced by other members of the Foster family, the other members would be able to take away his 80% personal stake in Furkov's investments through the claims of these trust funds, leaving him with no pennies left.

Cao Mo and Sturgeon's current plan is to convince the Foster Foundation to give up the status of the majority shareholder of Bank Nacional Nacional after Avenna returns to London at the same time as Sturgeon to buy the contract from Avenna for $20 million.

The aim was to make it possible to inject capital into Banco Nacional Ultramarino after the $120 million in cash from the transfer of the Stake in the Ferkov Petrochemical Group in the Lake Conero Industrial Park.

With its limited size and now in the midst of an economic crisis, Banco Nacional Ultramarino is not only suffering from severe valuation pressures, but is also eager to obtain a more direct capital injection to better cope with the impact of the economic crisis.

However, the largest shareholder refused, and it was impossible to implement any capital injection plan.

The Foster family didn't really care about the investment in Banco Nacional Ultramarino, and Avenna's lobbying would not be too difficult - it was only Sturgeon who personally saw an investment opportunity on the African continent that led to the Foster Family Foundation's increasing stake in Banco Nacional Ultramarino and its right to speak.

If the Lake Conero Industrial Park can successfully exchange 120 million US dollars for 15% or more of the shares of Banco Nacional Ultramarino, surpassing the Foster family to become the largest shareholder of Banco Nacional Ultramarino, not only will the first crisis facing Sturgeon be temporarily resolved, but Banco Nacional will also become the most important financial tool in their hands against the Evans Foundation and the Savei family.

In addition, although Sturgeon's personal company holds 80% of the equity of Volkov Investment, the registered capital of his personal company is very limited, and the capital leverage he uses is mainly borrowed from specific trust funds, which is the same as Cao Mo's borrowing of specific trust funds under the United Bank of Oman in the early stage.

In the future, the Conero Lake Industrial Park will inject a symbolic US$3.5 million into Sturgeon Private in exchange for a 40% stake.

As a result, the indirect shareholding of Lake Conero Industrial Park in the Vorkov Petrochemical Group will actually increase from 25% to 29%.

In other words, in a circle, instead of a slight loss, the Conero Lake Industrial Park will not only increase the shareholding of the Volkov Petrochemical Group by 4%, but will also acquire at least 15% of the shares of Banco Nacional Ultramarino in one fell swoop!

Maye Mantal was a little stunned, somewhat puzzled, Avenna clearly understood that if she took 20 million US dollars, how could Tianyue not lose to the last point, and still get such a big benefit?

Among them, the most concessions were actually made by Sturgeon, and at the expense of part of the Foster family's interests.

Of course, after thinking about it, she quickly understood:

The Conero Lake Industrial Park is not a simple development and construction platform, in fact, it is more accurate to say that it has become an important platform for Cao Mo to unite his core allies in West Africa, such as the Felician family, the Sika family, the Blake family, and the Rupert family, and even the importance is not below that of Ibogu Mining.

When it comes to this platform, Cao Mo holds the most shares, but only 38%, while the interests of others are more evenly distributed.

The reason why Sturgeon made such a big concession was not only his own crisis that needed to be solved, but also the strength he saw Cao Mo and so many allies behind Cao Mo uniting together!
