Chapter 441: Posture
Seeing that Yang Xiaofeng, an old liar, had buried such a big pit before, and wanted to drag Tianyue into it, Xie Sipeng couldn't wait to kick this grandson out of the car, it was hard to imagine, if Cao Mo hadn't seen through all this, they would really fall into this pit, how serious the consequences would be!
Cao Mo also wanted to kick Yang Xiaofeng, the old liar, out of the car, but since he wanted to use the surplus value of the old liar, he had to put on a tolerant and generous look, regardless of his previous suspicions, and held his chin to think about how to improve and use the layout that the old liar had already carried out.
If they plan it, it will be relatively easy to calculate Liang Yuan with this matter, but at this juncture, Cao Mo really doesn't want to waste time on a character like Liang Yuan-
"You go back to Draculamo first, and Zhou Han will arrange for someone to give you twenty kilograms of gross gold, which should be able to stabilize Lao Zui and Liang Yuan - regardless of whether you have tried to forge or steal documents and seals directly from the Evans Foundation and its subordinate institutions before, but then you must remove as much as possible the handles and traces that may have been left behind this time, at least not in the legal sense. Maybe it's ridiculous, if you really want to play a war of words or play yin, I'm not afraid, but leaving evidence in the legal sense, once you enter the political level, is much more tricky than you imagine - too many enterprises in Tianyue are rooted in this land, and this level involves the problem of foundation, I hope you can understand our caution. After doing this, the people you arranged for the Evans Foundation to help me collect two types of information, one is all the information about Ryan Fortis as a person, and the other is information about the Lekki Mining Group, the Development Bank of the Gulf of Guinea, the Xihai Mining Group, and other companies under the Evans Foundation—in the process, you should also avoid leaving evidence. You return to Draculamo and incorporate the investigative company at the same time, and as long as the information you provide is of real quality, I don't mind giving you a formal information consulting agreement in the future. ”
In Europe and the United States and African countries that are deeply influenced by Europe and the United States, private investigation agencies are quite popular, and they are also recognized by law - Cao Mo asked Yang Xiaofeng to formally register an investigation company or private detective agency in Draculamore, and establish an independent legal person in law, which is legally independent from Tianyue, and then he casually takes an irrelevant company and signs an information consulting service agreement with Yang Xiaofeng's investigation company, which can isolate the legal risks.
In the future, even if Yang Xiaofeng did something before or in the future, it would be convenient for them to shirk the relevant responsibility.
Twenty kilograms of gross gold is worth six or seven hundred thousand dollars, which is quite a small fortune in Draculamo.
Yang Xiaofeng got this gross money, and he could prove to Lao Zui and Liang Yuan that he wanted to use Yang Xiaofeng but was unwilling to leave evidence.
At the same time, Yang Xiaofeng used this gross money to exchange cash, which was enough to support their activities in the next stage, and officially registered the investigation company, so that they no longer had to think of crooked ways to make money.
"Okay!" Yang Xiaofeng hurriedly agreed, and said, "I have some information about the Evans Foundation in my hand, and I have poured it over before, whether it is useful or not, and most of them have no time to read it carefully......
He arranged for personnel to infiltrate the Evans Foundation's office in Draculamo and two other subsidiaries for a year, and although it was difficult to access the core trade secrets, large and small documents, whether useful or not, filled a hard drive.
Although Yang Xiaofeng entered this industry relatively early, he is familiar with traditional fraud methods, and compared with Zhou Han and Liang Yuan, he still lacks some professional knowledge.
A large amount of business information stolen from the Evans Fund is some basic, and he has no right-hand assistant, so it is very difficult to watch, let alone classify and sort out, analyze and study in depth.
These materials are not necessarily useless to Cao Mo and them.
Stopping the car, Yang Xiaofeng handed over a hard disk to Cao Mo, and drove away, and when he returned to Draculamo, the funds that Cao Mo promised would naturally be handed over to him by another person - Cao Mo could not prepare dozens of kilograms of wool gold to play with.
"Can he be trusted?" Xie Sipeng couldn't help but ask suspiciously as he looked at the pickup truck heading away in the opposite direction from the rearview mirror.
"At present, he is not as greedy as Liang Yuan, we give hundreds of thousands of dollars in information consulting fees every year, he should be satisfied, then take care of the present!" Cao Mo smiled, and said to Zhou Han again, "You find someone who is familiar with the law in this area, and instruct Yang Xiaofeng to clean up his hands and feet-to make Liang Yuan think that everything is under his control, but there can't be any substantial evidence to catch him......"
The gravel road was too bumpy, and it was impossible for Cao Mo and them to turn on the computer on the way to look at the data on the hard drive.
Cao Mo directly took the hard drive to the staff who followed behind him, and asked them to make a copy of the data in the hard drive, and immediately send one copy back to the security consulting company's base near the Oguta Manor.
The base has a special intelligence analysis team, and these materials are naturally handed over to them for sorting out and analyzing first.
............
............
This time, Cao Mo rushed to Akwa Peme, and Cao Mo deliberately found a trail from the northwest of Cotonou to cross the rainforest area on the border between Akwa and Benin.
The journey was less than 200 kilometers, but it was a bumpy day.
It was not until late evening that the group arrived at a small town called Dahomey, southeast of Akwa, about 40 kilometers from the capital port of Pemei, where Stari met Cao Mo.
Dahomey, like Auguta, is an important node in the Gulf of Guinea coastal highway planned by the Economic Community of West African States.
Even better than Aguta, there is also a dirt trail between Dahomey and Cotonou.
This is mainly due to the flat coastal plains and rainforests to the north of Cotonou.
It's just that this trail is also too bad.
It was the rainy season, and when Cao Mo and his team set off from Auguta, the driver carefully cleaned several cars, and when they arrived in Homei, the roof of the car was covered with mud, and it was almost impossible to find a small area that was not covered by mud.
Fortunately, there are several models in Europe, the United States and Japan that are very popular in Africa, and they have all been tested in practice, and there are no irritating things such as breaking down halfway, and everything is going well.
Cao Mo asked Tianyue Industry to design the second diesel engine pickup truck and the off-road vehicle under development directly on this road for testing, Xu Bin and Gu Fan's expressions at that time were as if they were constipated, and they asked Cao Mo several times to bargain to lower the test standard.
To build a cross-border power grid, Dahomey will become the core transit station of Cornello Energy North into Akva, and the next thing that needs to be done is to push Benin to negotiate with the Akwa government to build a backbone high-voltage transmission grid between northern Cotonou and Dahomey.
At that time, as long as the transmission grid between Lonta and the Netherlands and the United States is opened, Conero Energy will be able to divert some electricity from Lonta to Akva, and then it may build a thermal power base in Cotonou with great fanfare.
And if you really want to connect Akva, Benin and the coastal area of Kanem closely, the coastal border passage from Draculamo to Podonov through Lonta and Oguta, and then from Podonov to Pemei through Cotonou and Dahomey, needs to be really built - from Peme to Draculamo, the road is straightened, only about 250 kilometers away, but there is no benefit, in the past, it was almost a day and a night to drive from Draculamo to Pemei by land.
If we look at the emerging regional economic concept in China, this corridor can be said to be a natural West African economic corridor, which not only connects the three most important cities in Kanem, Benin and Akwa, but also has a population density of nearly 30 million, which can also be said to be the largest in Africa.
At the same time, the only weak industrial base of the three countries is almost all distributed along this corridor, with the addition of Bamang, Drake and Kruno in the northeast of Akwa.
Cao Mo is also thinking very seriously about the issue of this economic corridor, thinking that Tianyue's industrial investment in West Africa should not only rely on this channel for layout, but also strengthen the follow-up to guide the descendants of the colonizers to gather, take root and develop around this channel, so that it can truly develop into an economic and political corridor that connects and supports each other in the Great Gulf of Guinea, and they can be regarded as having a real foundation in this land.
"Made, I found that the presidents of these three countries should be my job!" Cao Mo thought too much about it along the way, and when he arrived in Homei and saw Stari, the back of his head ached, and he looked like he was overusing his brain, and he couldn't help but complain in front of Starli, "This piece of land has a population of three or four hundred million, even if there are not a few more politicians who have a vision of construction and development and can forget their selfishness for the public, even if there are a few more politicians who know that only by making the cake bigger can they get more benefits!" At present, apart from the export of raw materials, Africa's industry is almost equal to none, the proportion of internal trade is only a pitiful 10%, and the market without a few bones is almost completely dominated by overseas companies, and I feel ......sorry for them."
"The materials you sent back on the way, Oguta's side combed through them, and there was indeed something in them—the new materials had just been uploaded to my computer, would you like to take a look?" Stari asked, ignoring Cao Mo's complaints.
For a long time, Tianyue and the Evans Foundation have been well water and river water.
Therefore, they are aware of the existence of the Evans Foundation, and they are only maintaining a certain level of attention.
Even if it is a targeted collection of business intelligence, it is more focused on collecting intelligence from Lekki Mining, a subsidiary of the Evans Foundation that is in direct competition with Tianyue.
The sudden appearance of Avenna brings a new crisis.
However, in less than ten days, it was too difficult to suddenly gather as much information as possible about the Evans Foundation, and to have a very comprehensive and in-depth understanding of the Evans Foundation.
The Evans Foundation is also very low-key, secretive, and rarely publicized.
The materials handed over by Yang Xiaofeng seem to be very basic, and most of them are accessible to his internal junior and junior staff, but the preliminary work of the people placed by Yang Xiaofeng is still very careful and comprehensive, and it can even be said that it is fruitful, and there are even corresponding observation records kept every week.
The three people arranged by Yang Xiaofeng have spent nearly a year silently collecting all kinds of intelligence, and at the same time, the middle and senior managers within the Evans Foundation have established intimate contacts and obtained confidential information, which just makes up for the lack of basic information of the security consulting company.
In the temporary base in the south of Dahomey Town, seeing the information sorted out, Xie Sipeng couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "Yang Xiaofeng's ability to engage in intelligence is not bad, and the work is so meticulous - if we really take the bait this time and are used by him to make this deal, he may really be able to get enough pension money!"
"Actually, this set was made by Liang Yuan - before Yang Xiaofeng excavated Liang Yuan, the methods of playing were relatively traditional," Zhou Han said, "I doubt that in addition to the old drunk, among Yang Xiaofeng's three newly recruited accomplices, there are chess pieces that Liang Yuan deliberately stuffed in!
Xie Sipeng nodded, and felt that this possibility should not be ruled out.
At the beginning, Liang Yuan was put on a position by Cao Mo, and it can be said that he was unable to form an army, and he was directly reduced to Han Shaorong's lackey to return to Draculamo.
However, Liang Yuan was also planted in Cao Mo's hands before, and everything he saw now made Xie Sipeng know that he was not qualified to despise Liang Yuan.
Otherwise, Cao Mo, he didn't know when he would be able to realize that Yang Xiaofeng took the initiative to run over and there was such a big pit.
Or did he wait until he died a tragic death to wake up?
“...... Let's take a break, and I'll read these materials first. Cao Mo sat in front of the computer screen and said to Xie Sipeng and Xiao Kusky.
The Evans Foundation has hundreds of billions of dollars in assets throughout Africa, and a large number of descendants of colonizers working for them in the Gulf of Guinea, and European and American politicians behind them to support them, and its strength and influence are much greater than Tianyue, but because of this, its institutional system is bound to be huge and complex, and it must also have established strategies and development plans in operation, and any important decision-making is much more complicated and cumbersome than his words in Tianyue.
In the early stage, the Evans Foundation's subsidiaries focused on oil and gas extraction and export and financial control in Africa, while Lekki Mining, which is mainly engaged in gold mining in Africa, did not have a particularly high weight in the Evans Foundation.
Even if Ryan Fortis succeeded in convincing some of the Foundation's top management to turn their attention to the Ibogu Mining and the Usanhe Copper-Gold Mine after joining the Evans Foundation, how much support has been given to this move within the Evans Foundation?
Was Leckie Mining, as its direct counterpart, directly involved, in any of the fights with Ryan Fortis for dominance in this matter, and which of the Evans Foundation's top executives were directly involved in this matter?
These are all pieces of information that Cao Mo must ponder in depth now.
The Wusan River copper-gold mine contains unimaginable wealth, but in the end, it is not a diamond that can be directly regarded as a wealth bag.
Even if the Evans Foundation colludes with the Saweiyi family in Akwa and has the absolute strength to crush Tianyue, and can even easily take away the exploration and mining rights of the Usan River copper and gold mine from them, it still needs to invest a huge amount of money to reorganize production and expand, and then continue to convert huge wealth.
However, the process is definitely not without risk.
In such a harsh economic environment, will the political situation in Akwa be stabilized, and will there be drastic changes beyond their imagination?
Even the Saweiyi family deserves some trust from them, which is also unconfirmed.
What if the Saweiyi were overthrown and overthrown at Akwa?
In fact, this is something that the senior management of the Evon Foundation will weigh, and different people will have different opinions and insistences.
If Cao Mo regarded the Evans Foundation as a whole, it was indeed not something he could compete with in the Gulf of Guinea, but as long as he thought that the board of directors that really held the decision-making power of the Evans Foundation was also composed of one individual, it was not necessarily impossible to divide them from within.
From here, it can reflect the poison of Liang Yuan's tricks.
If he really didn't realize it, he accidentally became an accomplice of Yang Xiaofeng's use of the Evans Foundation to defraud oil cash contracts, and angered all the high-level officials of the Evans Foundation, and he would definitely fall into a quagmire of passivity.
In the same way, apart from the fact that Savui is directly united with Ryan Fortis and has a friendship with fellow students in the United States, are there any other members of the Saviyi family who have strong greed for the copper-gold mines in the Usan River, especially what President Saviyi himself thinks in his heart, and what things Saviyi himself has to worry about at home and abroad, which he must also enter into an in-depth study.
In addition to the absolute authority of Akwa President Saiweiyi himself, Cao Mo will not believe that other family members will be father-son-son, brother-friend-brother-brother-respect, harmonious, and unseamless.
Bardinay Saveyi Jr. has lived in the United States for a long time, and was suddenly persuaded by Ryan Fortis to return to Akwa half a year ago.
Stari rushed directly to Akwa in the past few days, not so much to keep an eye on Ryan Fortis, but to personally lead three intelligence teams to collect and study relevant intelligence information.
Cao Mo combined with the information provided by Yang Xiaofeng today, and sorted out the existing information again, and before he knew it, it was already late at night, seeing that Zhou Han was still sitting quietly in front of the computer and reading the information, Stari had just dealt with the affairs of the security consulting company and came back from outside.
"Arrange for me to meet Asamo Gian," Cao Mo said to Stari, "not a secret meeting, but a formal business visit......
Ninety percent of Akwa's population is made up of Akon and Kant people, with the Akon being the majority.
In order to maintain the order of Akwa's rule, colonial rulers had long supported the relatively small Kanter people in Akwa to serve them, in order to rule over the more populous Akkan.
At the end of colonial rule in the early sixties, when the colonial rulers withdrew from the land, they also handed over power to the Kanter leaders, who had only half the population of the Akan people.
It was not until the early 90s that Saiweiyi led a group of middle- and low-level Akan officers to carry out a military coup d'état, and the power of the country was held by the Akans.
Although Saiweiyi once transferred the sharp contradictions in the country to the descendants of the colonizers, how could the sharp antagonistic contradictions between the two ethnic groups be eliminated?
In the northeastern and remote areas of Akwa, there are still many radical militias of the Kante people who have rebelled against the rule of the Saweiyi authorities, but they have not been able to achieve much success.
Under pressure from home and abroad, Saiweiyi was forced to be elected, but he eventually won the election and went from dictator to the first democratically elected president of Akwa, a moderate party among the Kanter people, and the largest opposition party in Akwa.
Dahomey is not only a stopover on the coastal trail from Akwa's capital Port Peme to Cotonou, Benin, but it is also a major Kante settlement in southern Akwa and the hometown of the moderate Kante leader, Asamo Gian.
Cao Mo, as the most generous overseas investor since Akwa's political changes, has tried to avoid getting involved in Akwa's complex ethnic struggles, but now it seems that their deliberate avoidance of suspicion looks more like weakness in the eyes of others......
