"Dracula Bank is willing to negotiate the issue of the Bosso iron ore mine, how can we talk about it? But it doesn't seem to have anything to do with me, does it?"

Huamao's investment in the Gulf of Guinea is mainly concentrated in two aspects, on the one hand, it is to cooperate with Xinganglian to establish Xihai Iron and Steel to acquire Catro Iron and Steel Plant, and on the other hand, it is to participate in the investment and construction of Volkov Petrochemical Group and Conero New Port City.

Han Shaorong's personal energy is more focused on investment in the domestic securities market, and Huamao can't find anyone else who is more proficient in industrial investment except for Dong Chengpeng.

Therefore, the investment supervision of Xihai Iron and Steel and Catero Steel Plant was mainly entrusted to Liang Yuan, while the Vorkov Petrochemical Group and Conero Newport City on the south bank of Conero Lake were directed by Guo Jian on behalf of Huamao Capital.

However, Liang Yuan is relatively independent, and he has a very high proportion of personal interests in Xihai Iron and Steel and Katero Iron and Steel Plant, and no matter how much Han Shaorong trusts Guo Jian, Guo Jian must be regarded as a formal member of Huamao's management.

Therefore, after Liang Yuan met Moberly, a member of the board of directors and senior vice president of the Evans Foundation, after being introduced by Ryan Fortes, he made a special trip to Draculamo to talk to Guo Jian about the matter.

In November, the Volkov refinery was finally completed and put into trial production.

If all goes well, the Volkov refinery will be able to gradually release its production capacity after New Year's Day, thus becoming the second largest oil refining base in the Gulf of Guinea.

According to the current market conditions, although Huamao only holds a 15% stake in Volkov Refinery, it can guarantee a profit of about 30 million US dollars per year, which can be said to be a very successful investment of Huamao in Africa, and can completely offset the bleak prospect of no profit prospect in the short term.

Guo Jian is mainly responsible for this part of the investment supervision, so he has no pressure at all, so he doesn't care about whether the predicament faced by the Catro Iron and Steel Plant at this time can be relieved, and even expects Liang Yuan to mess things up, so that Han Shaorong can realize that this fraudster is an embroidered straw bag at all.

Of course, Guo Jian still wanted to be happy for Liang Yuan on the surface, and said: "The problem of the Boso iron ore mine can really be solved smoothly, and the Catro Iron and Steel Plant will also drive before New Year's Day, and together with the Volkov Petrochemical Group, Huamao will definitely expand its investment territory in Africa in the future - the Dracula office is still a little thin now......

Huamao set up an office in Draculamo, and Guo Jian is nominally the general manager, but Huang Lingli, who serves as the treasurer and actually has financial supervision over the holding company, is a veteran who has followed Han Shaorong for many years.

Huang Lingli took the initiative to ask to be transferred to Africa because of the marriage change, and she was in menopause, what was wrong with her, and when she caught Guo Jian's mistakes, she reprimanded them mercilessly - but there are only a few people in Draculamore's office, mainly Huang Lingli's subordinates, and their responsibilities are mainly financial supervision, which makes Guo Jian, the general manager, miserable.

Guo Jian still hopes to expand Huamao's office in Dracula on a large scale, and someone can check and balance Huang Lingli, so that he, the general manager, can hold real power, and no longer be a simple mouthpiece.

Of course, he doesn't think the predicament facing the Catro steel plant is likely to be solved anytime soon.

The expansion of Draculamo's debt on the Boesau Iron Mine by 200 million US dollars may not seem particularly terrifying, but the Boesso Iron Mine has been in operation and has been able to repay some interest each year to prevent the debt from ballooning too quickly.

Now, the operation of the Boso iron ore mine has come to a standstill, and with the interest rate of the Dracula Bank, the debt will explode with a part of it every year that it will be delayed, and eventually it will form a giant snowball that no one can afford.

And even if Dracula Bank is willing to forgive some of its debts and reduce interest rates to a reasonable level, Boiso Iron Mine needs to build a concentrator, and it needs to build a special iron ore mine between Boso Iron Mine and Catro Iron Works, so that the Catelo Iron Plant-Boso Iron Ore Industrial Complex can completely open up the imagination of profits, but this will require an investment of four or five billion US dollars, which is more than double the amount of money that Xihai Iron and Steel has directly invested in Catro Iron and Steel before.

Even if Huamao is willing, will the new steel union continue to make additional re-bets in Africa?

Of course, Liang Yuan could hear Guo Jian's perfunctory, glanced at him, and said jokingly: "Yes, Dongshengdu has increased its investment in Africa again, and Huamao and Xinganglian can't be resigned to being left behind - by the way, the consulate held a tea party in Kahuashang last month, and your ex-wife attended on behalf of Dongsheng Group, wearing a blue dress, which almost made a large group of men's eyeballs burst, why are you willing to let go?"

Guo Jian's eyelids twitched a few times, and his face suddenly became gloomy.

Liang Yuan handed a cigarette to Guo Jian and said, "Whether you admit it or not, Xu Xin's ability to transfer to Dracula is inevitably inseparable from Cao Mo, and you are always a thorn in Cao Mo's eyes." If you are worthless in Huamao one day, and no one can protect you, Cao Mo will definitely not mind pulling out your thorn casually - of course, at that time, there may not be Cao Mo to take action in person, and I don't know how many people can't wait to step on your feet. I'm not telling you this to ridicule you, but I'm worried that I'm not going to end up much better than you......"

Guo Jian took the cigarette, lit it silently and smoked it.

"I have every reason to believe that the Tellero incident was instigated by Cao Mo behind the scenes, in order to prevent Akwa President Saiweiyi from initiating a judicial review of the procedural legality of the mining rights of the Uzan copper-gold mine. I also convinced Ryan Fortis to believe this, but the Akwa ethnic struggle has intensified, and the Saweiyi authorities have to choose to compromise," Liang said, "but these are temporary, and the Evans Foundation has such deep roots in Africa that it will never be broken and swallowed silently." So, now is our best chance to negotiate a settlement of the Boso Iron Ore Mine - I can't get out of Kanem and go to Xinhai now, I hope you can make a hard trip to convince Mr. Han and Yu Jinjie to believe this......"

"You should always have a general plan, and I can fight for you when I return to China, right?" Guo Jian said as he poked out half of his cigarette in the ashtray.

As soon as Catro Steel can renew a long-term iron ore purchase agreement with Boesau, Ryan Fortis will persuade Lekki Mining, a subsidiary of the Evans Foundation, to buy Boesau Iron Ore and invest in a concentrator in Boesau, which will then be jointly financed by Lekki Mining and Xihai Iron and Steel to build the Catero-Boso Railway. In addition to applying for a loan from the Export-Import Bank of China, Draculamo Bank can also provide a fund, and finally the scale of funds that Xinganglian and Huamao need to inject is very limited, and start the second phase of the construction of the Catro Iron and Steel Plant, which is also after the official start of the construction of the Catero-Bosso Railway!" Liang Yuan said.

"Okay, if the refinery can stabilize trial production for another half a month, I will also return to China, if Yu Jinjie gives me a chance, it is not without time to visit - to be honest, my time is really worthless. Guo Jian said.

"Don't worry, I won't treat you badly!" Liang Yuan patted Guo Jian's shoulder and said, "The Catro Steel Plant can be operational, I can still have enough right to speak, and you can invest in a supporting enterprise in Catero......"

If the Boesau-Carter Iron and Steel Plant is really able to form a large-scale industrial complex and operate successfully, it will inevitably have a large number of supporting enterprises to serve it, and these enterprises will also rely on this industrial complex to continuously reap huge profits.

Guo Jian has no capital, and he is not a member of Catelo's operation team, if Liang Yuan agrees to fight for some shares in Xihai Iron and Steel, it will be purely fooling him, and the more realistic thing is to lose a private job for him to do.

Liang Yuan stood up.

At this time, the sunset shone in through the floor-to-ceiling windows, and he looked at the Lana Dere Beach casino in the distance, Yan Zhicheng and Yan Ming's uncle and nephew secretly colluded with Cao Mo, and he did not talk to Guo Jianti, nor did he talk to Ryan Fortisti.

On the one hand, he didn't want to expose the chess piece that was ambushed by Yang Xiaofeng's side, and on the other hand, it didn't seem to make sense to stab this matter now.

To be honest, if it weren't for the drunken inadvertent hearing Yang Xiaofeng leak his mouth, he wouldn't have imagined that Yan Zhicheng would be able to get out of prison back then, and it was Zhou Han who contributed behind his back-

Now it seems that Huang Hebin and Yan Zhicheng's return to Draculamo at the same time is definitely not as simple as it seems, but Huang Hebin went to Draculamo to form a new team to take over the construction and operation of Vorkov Petrochemical and Conero Newport City, but it was Huamao who made the suggestion first, what is going on?

Thinking of this, Liang Yuan turned around and asked Guo Jian: "By the way, Huamao advocated that Huang Hebin go to Draculamo to take over the follow-up construction and operation of Volkov Petrochemical and Conero Newport City, was it Mr. Han's decision, or was it suggested by Mr. Han?"

Although it was Dong Chengpeng who made suggestions to Han Shaorong, it was Guo Jian who initially expected Huang Hebin to form a new team with Taihua's old men, so that he could legitimately represent Huamao in Africa and be in charge of this investment business, and it was he who leaked some of Huang Hebin's information to Dong Chengpeng.

Guo Jian didn't know what Liang Yuan meant by suddenly asking this, he was slightly startled, raised his head and said, "It was suggested by President Dong and President Han, what's wrong?"

Hearing Guo Jian say this, the suspicion in Liang Yuan's eyes deepened: Dong Chengpeng's suggestion? Didn't he fall into Huamao's arms when he was desperate in Dongsheng?

............

............

"Yang Xiaofeng called, he personally stared at Liang Yuan during this time, Liang Yuan and the staff of the Evans Foundation's office in Draculamo have suddenly become close in the past few days, and even went to the Boso Iron Mine with Ryan Fortis and Moberly, a member of the board of directors of the Evans Foundation, the day before yesterday," Zhou Han walked into Cao Mo's office, talking about the information that Yang Xiaofeng had just called, and she thought that this side should pay attention to this matter immediately," At present, it seems that not only may they make any big moves in the Bosso iron ore, but more importantly, Ryan Fortis has come back to his senses, he should want to detour with Liang Yuan and Han Shaoqi to find our flaws......"

Although it was agreed that the plan would be planned and Liang Yuan's side would be stabilized first, Yang Xiaofeng was always unwilling in his heart.

In order to bypass the nails that Liang Yuan planted beside him and not to startle the snake, Yang Xiaofeng personally hid in the shadows during this time, monitored Liang Yuan's every move, and informed Zhou Han in time of any troubles, which was worthy of the $600,000 information consultation fee promised to him every year.

Cao Mo looked at Lake Conero in the distance, saw Zhou Han hand over the folder in his hand, took it and opened it to see, it was all about the connection between Bosso Iron Mine and Dracula Bank and the Evans Foundation.

As the largest financial institution on the Gulf of Guinea coast, Draculamo Bank dates back to the early colonial period.

When the wave of anti-colonial and independence movements was surging on the African continent, on the one hand, as the most important financial platform of the colonial rulers in West Africa, Draculamo Bank was inevitably hit by a fierce shock, and its business was almost paralyzed, and it almost went bankrupt.

On the other hand, most of the small and medium-sized investors of Draculamo Bank have fled the African continent and settled in Europe and the United States, and they are not looking forward to the prospects of Draculamo Bank.

In the process, the Evans Foundation will become the largest shareholder of Draculmore Bank by receiving a large number of shares at a very low price.

However, the Evans Foundation took advantage of the eagerness to expand armaments and consolidate the rule of the regime after each military government came to power, and used the Dracula Bank to actively cooperate with the military government in financial and foreign exchange settlements, and finally made the Dracula Bank regain a foothold in Kanem, and even more fully developed, penetrating deeply into the economic blood of Kanem and other countries bordering the Gulf of Guinea.

Draculamo's nearly $200 million debt to the Bosso iron ore mine sounds an exaggeration, but Draculamo Bank, as the second largest creditor, also holds about $12 in Dracula Power Group's claims.

This shows how important it is for Conero Energy to take root in the Gulf of Guinea one step earlier.

If Conero Energy hadn't come out of the rut of Ronta today, the Evans Foundation would have put pressure on Dracula Power Group to tear up its cooperation agreement with Conero Energy, and Conero Energy would have to rest there honestly.

At this time, not only the scale of electricity consumption along Lake Conero has increased, but the power grid along Lake Conero is wholly controlled by Conero Energy, and at the same time, the backbone high-voltage transmission network from Ronta to Cotonou-Podonov via Aguta is in full swing.

Of course, the focus of these materials compiled by Zhou Han is still the debt held by Dracula Bank to the Boso iron ore mine.

During the junta, the Oyo state government borrowed $60 million from the Dracula Bank to build the Boso iron mine, and in the past 26 years, it has repaid a total of more than $240 million in interest, but the remaining debt has snowballed to $200 million.

It's a good deal.

"The only possibility for them to cooperate on the Boesau Iron Mine is to continue to develop the Boso Iron Mine and supply the Catelo Iron Works – here is a list of people who have visited the Boso Iron Mine, and Lekki Mining's senior vice president in charge of the Gulf of Guinea Region is also on the list, and it is not ruled out that Lekki Mining will take over the Boso Iron Ore Mine directly," Zhou Han said. Huamao and Xinganglian acquired the Catro Iron and Steel Plant, which signed a long-term iron ore supply agreement with the Akwa Mangba Iron Mine, considering the limited scale of the Catro Iron Plant, they want to turn around and re-use the raw material supply of the Boso Iron Mine, they need to tear up the previous agreement - we can arrange for the media reporters of Akwa to follow up on this matter, the Evans Foundation is blatantly digging the foot of the wall of Akwa, I don't know what the media and the public of Akwa will say about this matter!"

"We can't do this in a hurry, before the official implementation, they can claim that all this is a rumor," Cao Mo shook his head and said, "And we are too eager to sabotage this matter, and some people in Oyo State will be angry with us for the loss of interests, no matter what, wait until Lekki Mining officially takes over Boso Mining......

"In the past, the two main pillars of the Evans Foundation in Africa were finance and oil extraction, so their influence in Kanem is mainly concentrated in Draculamo and the river states in the southeast, and even if there is some penetration and influence in other areas of Kanem and other industrial fields, it is hated by the locals because of its blood-sucking characteristics," Zhou Han said....... ”

Iron ore mining and steel smelting are vital to the national economic development of a country and even the entire region, and Zhou Han did not want to see Tianyue's rival and master a huge steel industry complex in the middle and upper reaches of the Ogun River that could have an impact on the economic development of the entire Gulf of Guinea region.

In particular, this steel-industrial complex is also located in the eastern region of Oyo State, which is likely to directly threaten Tianyue's position in Oyo State.

"You're worried too much," Cao Mo took Zhou Han's hand and said, "If the Evans Foundation wants to develop basic industries in Africa, it doesn't need to wait until it is specifically for me to make a large-scale investment -- they have extracted a lot of oil from the river states in the past twenty or thirty years, and would rather go to great lengths to transport it to oil refineries in Italy and Spain, refine it, and then transport the fuel back to Kanem for sale at a high price; The investment in the refinery in Spain has not thought of building an oil refinery near Kanem to meet the domestic fuel demand of Kanem, how much patience do you think they can really have to build a large steel industrial complex? Previously, Huamao cooperated with Xinganglian to acquire Catro Iron and Steel Plant, mainly to add blockage to me, and this part of the investment accounted for a small proportion of Huamao's investment territory, so Han Shaorong was happy to be the shopkeeper and handed over the operation of the steel plant to the team of Xinganglian. Liang Yuanshi is weak, so he has no ability to drag his feet. If they could really be ruthless and pay a sum of compensation to the Boso Iron Mine to solve the problems left over from history, the Catro Iron Works would still be successful. However, now that they really want to get involved with the Evans Foundation, the position of the new steel union team is in jeopardy, and Liang Yuan is ambitious, and will even take advantage of the Evans Foundation to take the lead in the operation of the Catelo Steel Plant, come - let's make a bet, we will let it go, what is the probability that Liang Yuan will not do this badly?"

"......" Zhou Han thought about it, and asked with a smile, "What do you want to bet with me?"

"Next time, hold Starry's hand for me. Cao Mo said with a salivating face.

"Do you think you can beat Stari with me?" Zhou Han glanced at Cao Mo and said disdainfully.
