During their stay in the port of Pemei, Brahm and Gallon Tangrian, while taking over the ore ship, approached Juan Mantar and others, mainly asking them to secure an early supply of coal and iron upstream, and in the process, establishing closer and more trusting relations with the descendants of the colonists of Akwa, such as Juan Mantar.

Descendants of colonists once dominated the limited industrial sector of Akwa, and the management of the more famous gold mines of Pemei Harbor, Mangba Iron Mine, and Ouma was overwhelmingly filled by descendants of colonists in the early years.

Although the descendants of the colonists have long since been removed from the management of the industrial sectors such as ports and mining areas after the Saweiyi government came to power, the grassroots engineers, technicians and skilled craftsmen are still mainly descendants of the colonizers.

Although the management of the industrial sector was dominated by the local Akan people, they also had to rely on the descendants of the colonists who had mastered the technology and management notices to maintain the production and operation of the mines and ports.

As a result, the hidden influence of the descendants of the colonizers in the economic sphere of Akwa has always existed.

In recent years, in order to ease relations with Western society, the Saweiyi authorities have promised political change on the one hand, and on the other hand, they have also relaxed the political and economic repression of the descendants of the colonizers.

Otherwise, Juan Mantar and others would not have been able to openly form an independent party in Akva.

Of course, political repression has only just been relaxed, and the families of the founders and high-ranking members of the Front for Democracy, such as Juan Mantar, are in a difficult financial situation, even as the most prestigious and well-established members of the group of descendants of the Akwa colonizers.

Although they are closer to Western society in terms of blood, culture, language, and religious beliefs, the democratic front they formed has been ignored and abandoned this time by Western conglomerates, who are anxious for quick success, and Western conglomerates are also concerned that direct funding of the pro-democracy front will provoke a new wave of anti-colonialism in Akwa and the resentment of those in power such as Saviyi.

Brahm and Garon Targaryen came to the door, which was a relief to Juan Mantar and others.

No matter how bad the Gulf of Guinea shipping company is, but outsiders can't know about its debts, Galleon Targaryen has always been a legendary figure in the minds of the descendants of the colonists of Akwa.

Many young people of colonial descent are still looking up to him, hoping that one day they will be able to escape their bad situation in Akwa and settle down and work in Kanem or other West African countries, just like him.

The Brahm and Rupert families, descendants of British colonists, are even more famous.

Even at the beginning of Juan Mantar's formation of the Front for the Promotion of Democracy, he approached the Rupert family for funding, but at that time, the Rupert family had just participated in the formation of the Sika Aidet Power Grid Company, and had not yet had the ambition and vision to intervene in the political situation in Acwa, and at the same time, he did not think that the Front for the Promotion of Democracy, which had a very weak popular base, could really do anything in Acwa.

At that time, the Rupert family rejected Juan Mantal's request, but this does not mean that they will be rejected again.

At present, Akwa has extremely strict restrictions on the entry of foreign capital, and even if it is a sales and trading company with a single business, it is necessary for a local person to hold a certain percentage of the shares in it.

Xie Sipeng and his team used to cooperate with the locals, giving a certain amount of remuneration and holding a certain percentage of shares on behalf of them, so as to bypass the legal restrictions of Akwa.

Small and medium-sized enterprises that do not have much real investment in Akwa can do so, as long as they want

Keep your finances under control, and even if something happens in the process, you won't suffer significant losses.

However, large enterprises should not only take advantage of the loopholes of the law, but also guard against being exploited by others, mainly to directly find local powerful investors to cooperate, and register and establish joint ventures.

Cao Mo is currently in the name of the Gulf of Guinea Shipping Company, setting up a new company in Peimei to be responsible for the coal and iron trade and transportation in Akwa, which does not involve large-scale investment in Akwa for the time being, and the finances are relatively easy to control, but this is only his investment in Akwa.

Once the situation in Akwa is completely stabilized, and if they can really benefit from the changes in Akwa, they will be operated by this new company, many aspects will need to be carefully considered.

For the time being, the new company will be mainly engaged in trade agency business, and the capital injected directly in the early stage will not be too high, and Abacha advocated simply giving the corresponding shares to Juan Mantar and other high-level leaders of the Democratic Promotion Front, so as to completely tie them to the same chariot.

Shen Ji felt that this was too simplistic and crude, and that the new company would be too deeply tied to the Democratic Promotion Front, which was destined to be a minority in Akwa, and that if the new company really wanted to make a large-scale investment in Akwa, it would also be fiercely criticized by the local public.

Lunches that are too cheap are often not cherished.

Of course, they will not be looking for new collaborators outside the Front for Democracy for the time being.

Cao Mo finally asked Brahm and Garon Targaryen to get a list of members within the Democratic Promotion Front who had held management and technical positions in Pepemei Port Group and Akwa Oil and Mining Group, and selected eight people with certain qualifications in the Democratic Promotion Front, but not particularly deep, and invited them to take up management positions in the new company, and then included Brahm, the chairman of the new company, and Garon Tangrian, who served as the executive president of the new company, as the start-up team, and directly gave 15% in order to meet the regulatory requirements of the current laws of Akva.

"As a representative of Tianyue Investment, you have been in contact with these people once or twice, and you haven't even talked a few words, and you really decided to give them so much equity? Are you sure that these people can get together in a mess and can help you smooth out the thousands of businesses, instead of messing things up?" Seeing Cao Mo pick up the pen and finally sign the proposed equity agreement, Zhou Han couldn't help but ask in confusion.

She has been almost inseparable from Cao Mo for the past month, and has also helped to share a lot of work, knowing Cao Mo's intentions, mainly thinking that in the future, through Garon Targaryen and these eight people, she can not only grasp the basic position within the Democratic Promotion Front, maintain strong influence and penetration, but also when the time is right, they can quickly use their previous background to extend to the port transportation, gold and coal mining fields of Akwa.

The coal and iron trade that was urgently carried out at this time can even be said to be infiltrated in advance for all this to come.

However, the hearts of the people are separated from each other, and now these eight people have received certain benefits, and everything is obeyed, but when the political change in Akwa is really completed, and the Democratic Promotion Front and the descendants of the colonizers are completely turned over in Akwa, who can guarantee that these people will not be co-opted by the higher bidders, and who can guarantee that they will not have greater and more greedy ambitions?

At that time, as long as one person is unreliable, this newly incorporated Gulf of Guinea mining investment and trading company, which has no foundation in Akwa, will inevitably fall into extremely complicated equity disputes, and insiders will inevitably be panicked.

Although these eight people are all descendants of colonizers, they are also the Front for the Promotion of Democracy

The elite members of the line, but their family and professional backgrounds are different, and they do not have a very close relationship with each other.

Not to mention the future, who can guarantee that if they are forced into a team, they will be able to cooperate well immediately, instead of turning the world upside down because of internal contradictions without doing anything?

Of all the Chinese-funded enterprises investing abroad, which one is like Cao Mo, a new company, from the CEO to the entire management team, does not send a single direct cronies, and directly completes it to the point that it can no longer be completely localized?

Cao Mo glanced at Zhou Han, didn't explain anything, signed the document, handed it to Gallon Targaryen, who was sitting on the side, and said to him in English: "Whether the Conero Cement Plant can get coal supply from Akwa in the shortest possible time depends on your efforts......

In the past, Gallon Targaryen met with Cao Mo several times in order to win the transportation business of the Conero cement plant, but he did not have a chance to talk further, and he even thought that Abacha and U.S. Rep. Ojosan Felician were the controllers of the Conero cement plant, and Cao Mo did not talk much when they met.

For more than a month, Garon Targaryen stayed in Pemei with Brahm, and he had to meet Cao Mo almost every day, but such frequent meetings did not make him feel that he really knew the mysterious Oriental investor in front of him.

He held the equity agreement in his hand, and even if Cao Mo handed over the entire team to him to manage, he felt that it was too hasty to do so.

Garon Targaryen even felt very uneasy in his heart, worried that many of his actions in Akwa would be insignificant in Cao Mo's eyes.

Garon Targaryen worries that even if things fail, the new company and the Gulf of Guinea shipping company will not be able to operate, and the losses will be negligible to Cao Mo, will he be able to afford to fail?

Cao Mo could intuitively feel the hesitation and uneasiness when Garon Targaryen took the agreement, and asked with a smile: "Why, Mr. Targaryen, are you hesitating, are you afraid that you won't be able to bear my trust in you? Or do you think that I give people trust too casually, so that it is so cheap that it is uneasy?"

"......" Garon Targaryen's inner thoughts were peeped through, and he could only smile awkwardly at the moment, and said, "Mr. Cao Mo is so different from the investors I contacted, I am just worried that I will not do well and will live up to your trust." ”

曹墨 says:

"Mr. Targaryen, you have to believe that not everyone can be trusted by me. I had walked into the Ibogu tribe alone, and almost all of my companions had abandoned me, and they did not think that I could work well with the Felician family and so many natives in the tribe alone, so that they had long thought that the reason why I was able to live in harmony with the natives was to serve the Felician family with a pitiful commission. I have been in contact with Mr. Targaryen a few times before, although I didn't talk much at that time, and there was no cooperation, but the lack of cooperation at that time is not that Mr. Targaryen is not trustworthy, and there is really no good opportunity for cooperation. On the contrary, after the first few meetings with Mr. Targaryen, I felt that you were a trustworthy person, so when the opportunity for cooperation came, I did not hesitate to ask Mr. Abacha and Mr. Rupert Jr. to come to you and talk about the acquisition of the Gulf of Guinea Shipping Company, eliminating all the seemingly necessary procedures such as financial audits and background checks. At present, because of my work, I have thoroughly sorted out the accounts of the Gulf of Guinea Shipping Company, and the facts have proved that my original instinct was not wrong, so why do I not dare to take another step at this time and give you more trust in Mr. Targaryen?"
