In fact, most people are not qualified to participate in the iron ore trade, and in the placer gold mines in the Ouma area, foreigners cannot invest directly, and can only cooperate with local tribal chiefs in the form of equipment leasing and technical services, but if the local chiefs are not trustworthy, they may also lose their money.

Of course, most of the Chinese businessmen who went to Africa were still very bold and adventurous, and since Xie Sipeng and Xu Sheng had already found a way to mine gold placers in Akwa, they also took risks.

And this experience was really unpleasant, thinking that since there was a business to do in Kanem, most of the people decided to spend two days in Pemei Harbor as a leisure trip, and then went directly back to Kanem.

What Mangba mining area, Ouma gold mine, they are not interested in seeing......

Cao Mo and Shen Ji didn't have the heart to play, they found that not only Xie Sipeng, Xu Sheng and others, but even Guo Hongliang and Xiao Jun, who had the intention to contact the local society, had a very limited understanding of Akwa.

This shortcoming, Cao Mo also committed at the beginning.

After he arrived in Kanem, his English level quickly passed, and he even learned Yoruba from Kabuja, but after all, he was not his mother tongue, and his thinking did not change, so he could not read English pleasantly, and he was very reluctant to read local newspapers and watch local TV programs from the bottom of his heart.

As a result, it is not possible to fully understand the local social landscape from a relatively high and wide range of channels, and only to obtain information sources in the process of contact with local partners, which directly leads to narrow and often biased information sources.

Abacha had an official position and could not stay in Akwa for long, so he flew back to Kanem with the others on the third day, and in the next seven or eight days, Cao Mo and Shen Ji asked Du Ganjie and Xiao Jun to collect all the major newspapers in Akwa over the past year.

At the same time, together with Shen Ji, he seized the time to meet with Dongsheng and Tianyue's partners in Peimei, including distributors and agents.

Although Dongsheng does not set up an office directly in Akwa, it also has partners in Akwa, buying coarse palm oil produced in Akwa and selling aluminum products to Akwa through distributors, and the annual trade volume is also six or seven million US dollars.

The scale of trade is not large, but for the West African branch, it is not a market share that can be easily discarded.

And from the hands of the Dongsheng family alone, the partners who can receive orders of hundreds of thousands or even millions of dollars are already quite prominent figures in Akwa, which is lagging behind in economic development.

As a country tightly controlled by the military junta, Akwa has stronger and wider control and penetration of the elite in the economic field, which also determines that the partners of the two companies in Akwa will be more or less involved in the background of local political leaders.

On the one hand, Cao Mo and Shen Ji learned more and more comprehensively about the various levels of information related to Akwa from the media, and on the other hand, they learned their true attitudes towards this information through exchanges with local partners, and then speculated more specifically about the true attitudes of various strata of Akwa society towards the current increasingly fierce political changes.

It is obviously unrealistic to try to sort out all the clues in such a short period of time, but it also helps them to be more sophisticated

Physically, in-depth understanding of how complex the interests entangled in Akwa after this wave of political change are.

Although Cao Mo and Shen Ji have been in contact with the most important characters in the economic field of Akwa in the past few days, even if these people have taken advantage of Akwa's current system, they are still extremely looking forward to the upcoming political changes.

However, Shen Ji believes that all this is normal and should be viewed calmly.

On the one hand, there are the powerful in the economic field of Akwa, who have accumulated huge wealth over the years, and they are more eager to legitimize it through political change.

On the other hand, they are also eager to make more attractive fortunes through political change.

Of course, a more relaxed political environment and atmosphere can help them better enjoy the wealth in their hands, and it is also an important reason for them to support political change.

At the same time, Cao Mo also paid attention to the fact that Europe and the United States, especially the United Kingdom, as the former colonial suzerainty of Akwa, has deep roots in the fields of energy, minerals and finance, and the penetration of Akwa is still very strong, and it can even be said that these forces are the mainstream of promoting Akwa's political change.

Akwa restricts the entry of foreign capital, especially oil, gold and other mineral resources, and European and American companies cooperate with the Akwa National Petroleum and Mining Group and its subordinate state-owned enterprises mainly through trade, equipment exports and technical services.

The sum of these cooperation seems to be considerable, but it is too small compared to the annual export revenue of crude oil, gold and other minerals of up to 20 billion US dollars in Akwa.

At a time when the prices of crude oil, gold and other mineral energy are soaring, this is obviously far from satisfying their appetite.

It can even be said that as long as the Saweiyi authorities can completely liberalize the energy and mining fields, it will be a trivial matter if there is no change in politics.

Of course, given the uncooperative attitude of the previous Saweiyi government, these conglomerates have either secretly financed large and small resistance forces in Akwa, or have sought proxies in Akwa to put on the cloak of the democratic resistance movement, and have already fanned the tide of political change.

With a wave of rebellion at home and abroad, it would be unrealistic for the Saweiyi government to compromise now and to halt political change at the expense of Akwa's energy and mining sectors.

Even if Akwa conducts democratic elections, and Saweiyi may even be elected president after compromising with Europe and the United States, the agents who have been secretly cultivated and supported over the years will also have the opportunity to enter the democratically elected government and wield different powers.

This is consistent with Shen Ji's initial judgment.

Cao Mo really wanted to go against the tide at this time and fund Uffybonia to carry out a coup d'état, and the main antagonist was not the Saweiyi government, but these capital conglomerates and the agents they had fostered in Akwa.

Shen Ji, as the vice president of Dongsheng's overseas investment division, and responsible for the actual business of the overseas department, after all, there was no way to stay in Akwa for too long, he helped Cao Mo sort out the intricate context, and then returned to Kanem by plane, and then returned to China by plane through Draculamo.

"Shen Ji just went back?" On the way to send Shen Ji to the airport and back to the hotel, Zhou Han sat in the passenger seat and couldn't help but be curious

Asked.

"Why don't you go back?" Cao Mo asked curiously, "He is the CEO of Dongsheng Haiwai, it is impossible for him to stay in Peimei like me......"

Zhou Han resisted the urge to roll his eyes, and said: "Lu Yan went back to Draculamo, and the day before yesterday he returned to Peimei with Huang Hebin, presumably they have decided, what do you plan to do next?"

In the past few days, she has been by Cao Mo's side, and she has also helped collect materials for combing.

She admits that she has a deeper understanding of Akwa's social outlook and high-level political dynamics in the past few days, but can't it just end here?

What about a specific action plan?

From where do they plan to enter the coming Akwa upheaval, and what benefits do they plan to seek from it?

You can't wait for the benefits to fall into their arms, right?

And Cao Mo decided to stay in Peimei Harbor for the time being, and they obviously didn't mean it and completely stood by.

Zhou Han believed that Cao Mo had a plan, but she had been with Cao Mo these days, but she didn't notice any clues that could indicate Cao Mo's next move, and she really couldn't suppress her curiosity at this time.

"Analyzing the materials these days, you have also seen that many European and American consortiums have set up agents in Akwa, especially the British government also drew up a plan to 'return to Africa' last year, and built new military bases in Benin and other places, you say that I, who is not even a small fish, is sandwiched in it, except to wait and see what happens, what food can I eat?" Cao Mo leisurely pillowed his head with his hands and asked, "Or should I find someone to report to Saiweiyi and thwart the coup plot of Uffobonia, and the Saiweiyi government will allocate an oil field for me to develop?"

"If I'm not mistaken, it seems that there are quite a few people in the Tubman family who have withdrawn into Benin with Stari, and it seems that this chess piece has not surfaced until now......" Zhou Han said tentatively.

"The Tubman family doesn't know what to do in the hands of little Tubman, what's the use of withdrawing to Benin? Speaking of workers, the Conero Engineering and Construction Company now has almost 3,000 workers, and can it be brought to Akwa to stop the coup?" Cao Mo said, "I see that you are calculating this and calculating that person all day long, and you habitually think too much, right?"

"If you want to go back to Kanem now, I'll admit that I've overthought it. Zhou Han said unconvinced.

"I'm not leaving, this is to confuse Lu Jianchao and them," Cao Mo said, "You are still suspicious by my side, I stay here, how restless do you say Lu Jianchao and Lu Yan's grandsons must be - haha, this is the empty city plan, have you found out that I am a genius......?

Listening to Cao Mo's nonsense, Zhou Han didn't know how to complain.

"By the way, you can help me contact Xie Sipeng and ask him to invite me to dinner in the evening - I want to make Lu Yan's grandson even ......more restless," Cao Mo said again.

Cao Mo has been in Peimei Harbor for the past few days, but he didn't pay much attention to Xie Sipeng, at this time, he sent Shen Ji on the plane and asked Xie Sipeng to meet at night, which must have made some moves, and it will inevitably make Lu Yan and Lu Jianchao and others behind Lu Yan worried, Zhou Han also had an indescribable secret excitement, and immediately took out his mobile phone to contact Xie Sipeng......
