Chapter 269: A Perilous Situation
There are flights between Port Pemei and Draculamo, but they are mainly old planes from China, Brazil and other regions, which are difficult to give people a reliable sense of trust and security, but in any case, it is still much safer and faster than the road traffic in West Africa.
Stari was not in a position to show up for the time being, so she stayed and watched everything in Acwa, and Cao Mola, Zhou Han, Xiao Jun, and Du Ganjie, four bodyguards, arrived at Draculamo by plane at dusk.
Yang Deshan took Zhao Xinyu and Xu Bin from Draculamo City to meet him.
Cao Mo got into a seven-seater off-road vehicle and couldn't wait to ask Yang Deshan:
"What's the situation now, it's not out of control, right?"
"It's not out of control for the time being, but it's not optimistic - there is news from the Ogun state government that Rumisu Gidamme has officially asked the Draculamo police to cooperate with the customs tonight to carry out an anti-smuggling search of the Chinese mall. It's hard for us to stop this, but we've secretly let the news out, and the merchants who want to operate in the China Mall should be prepared, and the loss shouldn't be too great,"
Yang Deshan knew the situation before and after the incident best, and introduced the latest progress during his flight with Cao Mo, and said worriedly,
"The key is still in the Taihua Industrial Park, the situation is a little out of control. When Lu Jianchao and Lu Yan escaped, they informed them that the dispatched employees who stayed in the Taihua Industrial Park were all evacuated to the dormitory building, and they also sent all the bodyguards they left behind, but they also became the biggest target of the Brotherhood of Steel Fist to vent their emotions. At three o'clock in the afternoon, large groups of gang members repeatedly tried to storm the dormitory building. With the support of the Abacha and Sika families, the Lonta police were very cooperative with us, and I thought that we must not let the Taihua employees have an accident, so I asked them to send more than 20 police officers to reinforce them, but someone shot in the chaos. There was nothing wrong with the Taihua employees and the Ronta police, but the Brotherhood of Steel Fist had two people killed and more wounded, which made the situation more and more chaotic. Now there are four or five hundred people in the Brotherhood of Steel Fist in the Taihua Industrial Park, and they are all very irritable and excited. The contractor of the Taihua Industrial Park is itself a company controlled by the Jidam family, and 15,600 construction workers with unclear ties to the Brotherhood of Steel Fist on the construction sites of the Taihua Industrial Park and the wharf are also gathered there at this time. Now there are rumors everywhere in Draculamo City that Chinese businessmen are exploiting and suppressing local workers, and things are not good, I am afraid that the situation will get out of control and the situation will be unimaginable......"
"These idiots!" Cao Mo also felt very tricky, and he was too lazy to be afraid of idiots like Lu Jianchao and Lu Yan.
At present, there are more than 60 dispatched employees trapped in the dormitory building, and if they have any strengths and weaknesses, it will not only be a problem of Taihua and the Lu family being irresponsible, but it may even affect the relations between China and Qatar, and then all Chinese-funded enterprises and investors in Kanem will be implicated.
There are no eggs under the nest, which is by no means what Cao Mo wants to see.
During the telephone meeting in the morning, Shen Ji also emphasized to him that he would try his best to help Taihua's employees survive the catastrophe, rather than dwelling on previous grievances.
Cao Mo was so angry that he wanted to poke Lu Jianchao, a stupid villain.
"What's going on at the consulate?" Cao Mo asked.
"The consulate made representations to the federal government of Kanem and the Draculamo City Council, and also sent three staff members to the Thai-Chinese Industrial Park, but at this time they were also trapped in the dormitory building—
- As you know, China's foreign policy has always been to advocate non-interference in each other's internal affairs, and the consulates have mainly served and communicated over the years, and they cannot be expected to intervene in this matter strongly. They have also reported this matter to the embassy and the country, but it is a little far away that the water can't save the fire, and the Taihua Industrial Park has to survive tonight by itself."
Yang Deshan said helplessly,
Under the negotiation of the consulate, the Draculamo City police agreed to increase the police force at noon, but it was not until three or four o'clock in the afternoon that more than a dozen police officers were sent to the Taihua Industrial Park, and they did not even dare to directly enter the staff dormitory building. We had just gone to see Oppenheimer, who promised to help us urge the police to continue to send more aid, but only yes. Fortunately, Governor Blake has transferred 200 additional police officers from Cardéro, and we are currently there to reinforce the Taihua Industrial Park at any time, which is a little more reassuring. There were also several cases of Chinese being attacked on the streets of Draculamo in the afternoon, and we had a good morning greeting with Sanchez and Blue Star Taxi Company, and the drivers of the motorcycles of these two companies sent several Chinese who were attacked to the China-Qatar Friendship Hospital, and there was no major problem...... Is Rumisu Gidam crazy?"
"He's baring his fangs to us Chinese businessmen, is he doing his last death throe?" Cao Mo frowned and said worriedly.
The Jidam family has been quite sad recently, and the destruction of the smuggling fleet yesterday and Lu Jianchao today are quite fatal blows to them by leaving everything behind and running away first.
The destruction of the smuggling fleet meant that their largest cash flow was completely cut off.
Lu Jianchao and the others left everything and ran away first, which meant that the major construction sites on the south bank of Conero Lake had become a mess that no one cleaned up in a short period of time.
Not only do the 1,500 or 600 construction workers under the Jidam family, who are members of the Brotherhood of Steel Fist, directly lose their source of income, and their construction engineering company will collapse at any time.
Cao Mo also had another phone call with Shen Ji before getting on the plane, and they were inclined to think that Rumisu Jidam might not think that Lu Jianchao and they betrayed him, but they still made such a big move against Chinese businessmen and Chinese enterprises, and more importantly, it was to deter the opponents who had accumulated deep grievances over the years, and to prevent these people from falling into the trap against the Jidam family and the Brotherhood of Steel at this time.
The Jidam family has no bottom line, which makes him even more worried.
"Dongsheng and Tianyue's employees in Draculamo have already moved into the Ministry of Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation's business center in Qatar, and they will not be affected for the time being," Zhao Xinyu asked with some horror, "but what happened, why all of a sudden, the streets and alleys were full of voices against Chinese investors and employees - we took a car to the airport, and we were recognized on the way, and the window glass was almost smashed." ”
"Baha Jiddam, the son of Rumisu Jidam, was killed by the Beninese military last night when he led an oil smuggling convoy on his way to Akwa in the waters near the port of Cotonou. Lu Jianchao, Lu Yan, and others, who had been cooperating with the Jidam family, suddenly fled back to China early this morning, and Rumisu Jidam probably decided that all this had something to do with the Lu family! Rumisu Jidam probably couldn't catch Lu Jianchao and Lu Yan, so he would spread his anger on the Chinese businessmen and Chinese employees......
Cao Mo told Zhao Xinyu some information that was not an inside story, and he didn't want him to be completely in the dark, and he had to report these situations to the consulate, and he didn't let the consulate do anything
I didn't know what was wrong with the situation, but I also comforted him more or less ominously and said,
"I'm also inquiring about more specific news - but if this is the case, it may be a mess for a while, and it is inevitable that the Jidam family will lose power, they are messing around like this, they want to fight to the death, but in fact it will only hasten their downfall......"
"What is this, the Jidam family smuggled oil, and the Lu family had nothing to do to report it?" Zhao Xinyu said with his feet stomped.
............
............
Cao Mo arranged for a car to send Brahm directly back to Draculamo City to meet Abacha.
Not only did the Rupert family need to do some work, but Oppenheimer, who could play a greater role in the whole thing, still had to be communicated between Brahm and Abacha.
This is more appropriate than going to negotiate it himself.
Akva's side is about to close the net, and the benefits that can be expected in the future are huge, Cao Mo believes that Brahm will do his best to help them calm down the current situation, but if he wants Oppenheimer to make a big effort, Cao Mo is worried that their appetite may be relatively large.
Cao Mo did not go to Draculamo, but rushed directly back to Lung Tower from the airport.
The coastal road from the north area of Draculamo Port to the Taihua Industrial Park has not been completely repaired, but it can also be opened to traffic, at this time Taihua is still between the industrial park and the Longta-Draculamo highway, a new east-west fork road has been built, and the whole constitutes a traffic pattern of two horizontal and two vertical in the western coastal area of Longta.
Cao Mo did not go directly to the Ibogu tribe or the Conero Lake Industrial Park, nor did he let too many bodyguards drive to attract unnecessary attention, but two cars passed through the fork and parked next to a plantation in the southeast corner of the Taihua Industrial Park, watching two or three thousand people gather outside the Taihua staff dormitory building, the scene of chaos, and gunshots from time to time.
Fortunately, these are those manic gang members, who are still venting their emotions outside with guns, and there is no sign of storming the Chinese staff dormitory building again, but the sound of gunfire is also terrifying.
After watching for a while, Cao Mo and the others took the path and rushed back to the lakeside house.
There are more Chinese businessmen and Chinese employees in the Conero Lake Industrial Park, but in addition to the Conero Security Company and the Lonta Police, Oyo Prefecture has also sent 200 police reinforcements from Catelo to block the passage to the north of the Taihua Industrial Park with barricades, and no gang members can rush over to make trouble for the time being.
However, on the side of the Conero Lake Industrial Park, there is also a rumor, and everyone is not at peace for such a big matter.
The factories have now been shut down, local workers have either returned to the tribe or to their dormitories, and more than 400 Chinese businessmen and Chinese employees have gathered at Lakeside Lodge.
When Yang Deshan and Zhao Xinyu were running around in Draculamo, Wang Jianzhong was mainly in charge here, and the three of them are currently the backbone of Chinese businessmen and Chinese employees in the industrial park.
Since Tianyue Industry employs local employees from the management to the operating workers below, Xu Bin and Xu Lizheng are not prominent in the minds of Chinese businessmen and Chinese employees.
The security measures in the industrial park are presided over by Ade and Oulu, and the work is done very carefully, and there is the support of the Oyo state government, but there is nothing for Cao Mo to worry about.
In addition to the Abacha people who had joined Bram in Draculamo, Ojosan also rushed back to Catro today, at least to ensure that the Oyo state government supported this side with the greatest possible strength......
