The problems faced by the Thai Hua and the Giddam family on the southern shore of Lake Conero are not just the slow progress of construction, which the Draculamo Port Group formally proposed to divest from the Lake Conero Port project at the end of November.

This gave Lu Yan and the others who were going to do a lot on the south shore of Conero Lake, as if they had slapped a stick hard.

As the most important supporting project of the Taihua Industrial Park and the oil refinery, the Conero Lake Port also deliberately took great pains at the beginning of its construction to divide the administrative jurisdiction from the Longta area and build it as a subsidiary port of Draculamo Port.

The port is located in the southwest corner of Lake Conai, there is a natural stone promontory separating Lake Conero from the outer sea of the Gulf of Guinea, outside the promontory is a natural deep-water harbor, planning to build two 50,000-ton multi-purpose wharves, a crude oil wharf, and a number of small tonnage wharves are planned to be built on the inner side of the promontory to meet the different needs of enterprises in the industrial park.

In addition to the crude oil terminal, the fuel oil depot and crude oil storage built with the refinery are all included in the port area for planning and construction.

Even if Cao Mo and the others had already seen through Taihua and the Lu family's actions on the south shore of Conero Lake, the fundamental purpose was to digest and launder the crude oil smuggled by the Brotherhood of Steel Fist from River State, and digest and launder it through the refinery they built, it was impossible for Taihua and the Jidam family to start building a small crude oil terminal of 35,500 tons on the south shore of Conero Lake, and they were only responsible for accepting small and medium-sized tanker ships for smuggling crude oil.

To put it bluntly, no matter how corrupt Kanem's bureaucracy is, it is not completely incapable of regulating the local government, not to mention that crude oil involves the only core of Kanem's economic lifeline.

Taihua and the Jedamu family also need to mix the illegal crude oil in a series of seemingly formal and legal crude oil procurement, transportation, refining, and refined oil sales industrial chains to make huge profits.

For this reason, the investment company controlled by the Lu family also deliberately registered a series of shell companies engaged in crude oil and refined oil trading and technical services in Draculamo, so as to make everything appear to be in line with Kanem's legal procedures.

In order to obtain a special license from the Kanem National Oil Company (similar to the Ministry of Petroleum and Minerals) for crude oil refining, the Port of Lake Conero was designed and built to normal specifications, with a total investment of about $12,000.

Initially, the Dracula Port Group took the lead in investing US$25 million, and the Giddam family and the investment company controlled by the Lu family each contributed US$12 million to form the Conero Lake Port Co., Ltd., and then borrowed US$70 million from Draculamo's major consortia through the Conero Lake Port Co., Ltd. until the first phase of the port terminal was completed.

At present, it is not only the Dracula Raymond Port Group that has proposed to withdraw the $25 million it has already invested, but suddenly such a big change has occurred, and several financial consortiums that have borrowed funds before will not only interrupt the follow-up loans to Lake Conero Port Co., Ltd., but also propose to recover the funds that have been withdrawn in advance.

Whether it is the Thai-Chinese or the Jidam family, they can refuse the withdrawal of Draculamo Port Group according to the agreement, but the two sides will conduct judicial proceedings, and the construction of the entire Thai-Chinese Industrial Park, casino hotel, and port terminal will be suspended indefinitely......

"What went wrong, did you investigate it?"

When Lu Jianchao learned the news, he rushed to Draculamo in early December, and hurriedly took a car from the airport to the No. 1 Seaview Villa outside the Lana Dere Beach Casino.

"......" Huang Hebin shook his head a little embarrassed.

The ostensible cause of the whole incident is that the senior executive of the Jidam family, who was initially co-opted within the Draculamo Port Group and was responsible for promoting the Dracula Ladmore Port Group's participation in the investment and construction of the Lake Conero Port from beginning to end, was arrested in late October for a suspicion

The corruption case was investigated by the federal judicial department of Kanem.

After this incident, not only the federal judiciary of Kanem, but also the Draculamo Port Group will inevitably check the business in charge of the senior management and the various decisions made during his tenure.

Of course, they also tried to buy off the management of the Draculamo Port Group and win over new supporters to ensure that the construction of the Port of Lake Conero would not be affected.

However, none of their efforts have played their due role.

After the collapse of their relationship within the Dracula Ports Group, less than half a month apart, the Dracula Ports Group directly made the decision to withdraw its capital, which must be strange behind this.

It's a pity that they haven't figured out what the hell is going on behind it.

"What the hell is going on, you haven't figured it out, what are you eating here?" Lu Jianchao asked unceremoniously.

Huang Hebin sat there in amazement.

"Maybe it's still Dongsheng's miscellaneous messes that are messing around, right?" Yao Haiming said guessingly.

"......" Huang Hebin shook his head, although he is not pleasing to the eyes of Cao Mo and Yang Deshan now, although Lu Jianchao urgently needs them to give a clearer answer, but he will not give up rational judgment because of dealing with Lu Jianchao or personal emotions, looked up at Lu Jianchao, and said, "Although they have such a motive, I can't see that they have this ability at present, and they can directly affect Draculamo Port Group to make such a decision......"

It is not inconceivable that Dongsheng's West Africa branch, or Cao Mo, Yang Deshan and others, through Ojosan and the Rupert family and Oppenheimer family, who are currently fighting with them, can contact and win over one or two high-level executives within the Draculamo Group, intending to obstruct the construction of Lake Conero Port through these two high-level officials.

The problem, however, is that not only did the management of Dracula Port Group unanimously make the decision to divest their investment, but the outside world was completely inquired about the details of their decision, which looks like there is a stronger force behind it.

"Maybe there is no specific and clear person behind us who is deliberately targeting us......" Zhou Han said hesitantly.

"How do you say that?" Lu Jianchao asked.

"I must say that there is a reason, I think in mid-July, Starri of the Tubman family foiled the Jidam family's hunt plan twice, and the impact was very big - after that, Draculamo's gang forces, merchants, businesses, and even the Jidam's rivals in the political circles have all kinds of confrontation actions against the Jidam family and the Brotherhood of Steelfist, either explicitly or implicitly. Elon, who has helped us do a lot of things within the Draculamo Port Group, if it weren't for the loss of power of the Jidam family, I believe it would not have been easily investigated by the Federal Department of Justice," Zhou Han frowned slightly and said, "I was thinking, is it possible that this incident is purely 'the wall falling down and everyone pushing' - the top management of the Draculamo Port Group wanted to cut ties with the prosperous and declining Jidam family, so they unanimously decided to withdraw from the construction of Lake Conero Port, so as not to be involved in more uncontrolled passivity in the future?"

"Hebin, do you think Manager Xiao Zhou's analysis is reasonable?" Lu Jianchao asked Huang Hebin.

"......" Huang Hebin nodded a little bitterly.

It's not that he didn't think about it, but Taihua is too deeply tied to the Jidam family.

He once thought that as long as they moved fast enough on the south shore of Conero Lake, the Gidam family should be able to get out of a temporary predicament quickly, and in the past three or four months, when reporting to Lu Jianchao, he had deliberately ignored this.

Even if something like this happened, it would be difficult for him to face the problem head-on.

Their successive investments in Kanem have approached 100 million US dollars, mainly on the south shore of Conero Lake, and many projects are still under construction

The decline of the crowd is becoming more and more obvious, but what choice can they make?

Will they be able to cut off the Jeddhams?

Lu Jianchao's gloomy gaze slowly swept over everyone, and at this time he understood, Huang Hebin and they didn't think of this, but this topic was too sensitive, and only Zhou Han brought it up directly at this time.

"Heming, close the door. Lu Jianchao motioned for Yao Haiming to close the door of the living room, so that the cook and the bodyguard would overhear their conversation leaking out.

"Now if you have any ideas, you can say them as much as you like. Lu Jianchao held his forehead and said.

"......" Zhou Han swept Huang Hebin, Yao Haiming, Lu Yan and Guo Jian, who was regarded as Lu Yan's confidant during this time, and said, "I am not familiar with refining and chemical engineering, but during this period of preparing for the grinding station, many things can be considered to be very clear - no matter how much Cao Mo has in Felician and the Sika family building materials company, one thing is clear, the Ibogu Cement Factory and the Conero Cement Factory have brought them very rich profits, and it can even be said that it is beyond imagination." They initially built the first hydroelectric power plant in the upper reaches of the Ibogu River, also to support the Ibogu cement plant, and then quickly built more hydroelectric power plants, and finally Conero Energy. Regardless of the rest, I personally think that the cost of building a grinding station on the south bank of Lake Conero and transporting clinker directly from Spain to produce finished cement is not much higher than that of smuggling cement from Benin and other places.

Since Zhou Han raised the topic first, and her mother invested in a cement clinker plant in Spain and planned to supply cement clinker to a grinding plant on the south shore of Lake Conero, she was in a position to explain this matter more thoroughly.

The other meanings don't need to be more explicit for her, I believe everyone can understand what they are.

Lu Yan, Yao Haiming, Huang Hebin and even Guo Jian were deeply touched after listening to Zhou Han's words.

Although the grinding station had just begun to be built, they had figured out the production environment and costs involved in the finished cement, and found that the Conero Cement Plant was producing and selling finished cement, and the profits were higher than that of smuggled cement.

They couldn't help but reflect on their original intentions for the construction of the grinding station:

If you can make a lot of money if you can make a lot of money, why do you still engage in smuggling? Is it to satisfy the twisted pleasure in your heart?

From the grinding station to the refinery, the principle is also the same.

Although all the licensing procedures for the refinery and crude oil terminal were completed with the assistance of the Jidam family, since all the joints in the legal procedures have been opened, and the subsequent investment and construction no longer need to rely on the Jidam family, when the refinery, crude oil terminals, oil depots and other facilities are completed, they can make huge profits by purchasing crude oil from formal channels to refine refined oil for sale, so why do they have to cooperate with the Jidam family?

"Hebin, what do you think?" Lu Jianchao asked Huang Hebin.

"I think what Zhou Han said is very reasonable, the Jidam family is not as strong as imagined, and if you continue to cooperate with the Jidam family, not only will there be no more benefits, but it may become the target of public criticism in Kanem, so it is better to make a decision as soon as possible. Lu Yan couldn't hold his breath and interjected.

"That's what I said, but a hundred-legged insect will not stiffen until death!" Huang Hebin said worriedly.

The Gidam family is no ordinary collaborator, not to mention that Rumisu Jidam has at least three and a half years left in office as the new lieutenant governor of Ogun, and the Brotherhood of Steel is only being squeezed at the moment, not really hurting.

They used the energy of the Jidam family in the early stage to go through all the legal procedures, but at this time, if they want to get rid of the Jidam family, they have to consider whether the backlash of the Jidam family is something they can bear......
