“......”

After Xie Sipeng received the call, he quickly came to the hotel before Juan Mantar and his party, sat down and said with a smile to Cao Mo,

"Juan Mantal, the top of the Association for the Promotion of Democracy, is going to come to visit you in person, you are really a big guy now, playing everything in the palm of your hand......"

Not to mention Garon Targaryen, Cao Mo knew very well that Brahm's active and enthusiastic participation in the whole thing this time had a very important factor, that is, as a descendant of the colonizers, he was very sympathetic to the situation of the descendants of the colonizers of Akwa at this time, and he even had a more active political mind than Abacha and Ojosan.

Not to mention Garon Targaryen, Brahm definitely doesn't want to see him show the pride of purely using the Democratic Promotion Front as a profit-making tool at this time, Cao Mo's flattery to Xie Sipeng was only very indifferent, and said to Brahm and Garon in English,

"Win-win and mutual benefit is always the cornerstone of cooperation to become stronger and more reliable - I originally wanted to visit Juan Mantar and other high-level leaders of the FDD today, but considering that there are some problems with the DPP, and even some people within them have doubts about our cooperation, I can only put the shelves up and wait for them to come to the door. For this reason, when we officially meet, I will also play Dongsheng's signboard, don't you say that you leak your mouth and tear my cowhide......"

Xie Sipeng realized that one of the two people, Brahm and Garon, could understand Chinese.

Xie Sipeng is also an old man, and he didn't show an embarrassed look, purely when he was joking just now, and then he seriously participated in discussing the details that Cao Mo should pay attention to when meeting with Juan Mantal and others.

"I've had a few contacts with Rupert Jr., Mr. Tangrian, and Juanman Tarr these days, and to be honest, I think that the voices within the Front for the Promotion of Democracy are quite mixed and loosely organized, so it may not be particularly pleasant to meet today......

Xie Sipeng is now much more honest in front of Cao Mo than before.

Even if he has all kinds of scruples and doesn't want to rush to take out the real money and silver, he won't hide it in Cao Mo if he has any thoughts in his heart.

He said that the Democratic Promotion Front has some very serious problems at present, but he is worried that even if the Democratic Promotion Front is eager to get more funding from Cao Mo, it may not be willing to accept Cao Mo's direct interference in its internal affairs, and hopes that Cao Mo will be mentally prepared.

He hurried over in advance, mainly to remind Cao Mo to pay attention to these things.

Cao Mo nodded, indicating that he had already realized this.

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

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

Juan Mantar and his entourage rushed to the hotel, Cao Mo and Xie Sipeng sat on the floor where they met and did not move, and asked Zhou Han and Xiao Jun to accompany Brahm and Garon downstairs to pick up Juan Mantar and others.

When Juan Mantar and the others came upstairs, Cao Mo stood in front of the foyer on the outside of the conference room and said a few shabby words, and then walked into the hotel's magnificent and spacious conference hall and sat down.

Juan Mantar, a former professor of economics at Peme University, was arrested by the Saviyi authorities and imprisoned for seven years for leading the resistance movement against the persecution of the descendants of the colonizers by the Saviyi authorities, until he was released under pressure from the Western society and promised to implement political changes.

He is also the No. 1 core figure of the Front for the Promotion of Democracy.

Juan.

Mantar is over 60 years old, and due to his long-term persecution by the Saviyi authorities, his appearance is thin and old, and his physical condition is not very good.

Although Juan Mantar was persecuted by the Saviyi authorities, after his release from prison, he formed the Front for the Promotion of Democracy and advocated reconciliation with the Saviyi authorities, so there were voices within the democracy promotion that his character was too weak.

Although it was the first time they met, Cao Mo could feel the difficulties of trying to maintain a party that was far from mature under the condition of such limited resources, and it could be seen that he was also mentally prepared to promise further assistance in exchange for future corresponding benefits, and his mood seemed very calm and extremely determined.

Juan Mantar is an old man with great inner strength.

Cao Mo felt a little headache, and Brahm and Garon's observation of Juan Mantal tended to think that his personality was weak, but in fact it was very wrong.

Cao was sure that it was not Brahm and Garón who lied to him, but was misled by rumors, and Juan Mantal's eagerness for outside assistance caused them to miscalculate.

Maye Mantar, who helped Juan Manta into the conference room, was his youngest daughter, and Cao Mo also had her information in hand.

Mei Yi, who is only twenty-five or sixteen years old this year, has fair skin, dark brown shawl hair, a slender and straight figure, deep and delicate eyebrows and eyes, and wears a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, and indeed has an indescribable intellectual beauty.

During Juan Mantalan's imprisonment, May and his family went into exile in France, where they completed their studies and then worked in a French media station, where they worked to rescue his father from prison and sought assistance from Western societies.

In comparison, Juan Mantal's two sons behaved quite averagely, and after Juan Mantal was released from prison, only Mei Yi returned to Akwa without hesitation to work as his assistant.

The first time they met, Cao Mo saw Maye Mantar's cold appearance and knew that she was dissatisfied and resistant to herself.

Of course, Maye Mantar's background in France naturally makes her inclined to seek help from the West and to be suspicious of Chinese investors.

Cao Mo guessed that when she went out, she had a dispute with her father, Juan Mantal, over whether to seek further assistance from them.

She is like this now, she has not eased up emotionally, and when she sees her arrogant attitude again, she is even more dissatisfied, right?

The other three who accompanied Juan Mantal through the conference room, listening to Brahm's introduction, Cao Mo also quickly connected with the information he had collected.

They were all important members of the Front pour la démocratie (FDD), and whether it was Brahm's previous contact with them or what they were really thinking at the moment, Cao Mo was sure that they supported Juan Mantal in exchange for further assistance from him with the promise of future benefits.

It is clear that the entourage, with the exception of the main assistant and the successor's daughter, was carefully selected by Juan Mantal in the hope that the trip would have a good outcome and avoid anyone jumping out and saying the opposite during the negotiations.

Andrea Hane, another central figure in the more radical thinking of the Front pour la démocratie (FDD) who advocated a political distancing from the Saviyi regime, did not appear.

However, this is not what Cao Mo wants.

Time is too limited, changes can happen at any time, and he hopes that the problems and contradictions within the Front for the Promotion of Democracy can be directly exposed at today's meeting, and then he will force Juan to do so.

Mantar made a choice, and he was even confident that he would convince Andrea Hane to compromise with them.

He definitely didn't want to be dragged off by the cunning and experienced Juan Mantar with all sorts of excuses.

Cao Mo groaned slightly, secretly feeling that the coping strategies he had discussed with Xie Sipeng, Brahm, and Garon in advance were somewhat useless and needed to be adjusted in time.

"For a Chinese like me, Africa is a very mysterious, full of opportunities, but also full of dangers, and you have to deal with it carefully," Cao Mo said straight to the point after everyone sat down, "so whether I am in Kanem or in Akwa, I usually deliberately ignore my identity as an investor, emphasizing that I am only a small representative of the Dongsheng Group, so as not to attract unnecessary attention - when Bram and Garon are in contact with you, Mr. Mantal, or have not officially introduced my identity......"

Zhou Han, Brahm, and Xie Sipeng all looked at Cao Mo in surprise, just now Cao Mo also deliberately emphasized that he wanted to bring out Dongsheng's name, but he didn't expect that he himself had temporarily changed the hexagram, and his posture was much lower than what he just said.

Cao Mo did not mention his background that was not worth mentioning before coming to Africa, but only talked about the industrial investment in Lunta and Draculamo in recent years.

The investments of the Aguta Gold Mine, the Ibogu Gold Mine, the Conero Cement Plant, the Conero Energy, the Conero Foods, the Lake Conero Industrial Park, and the Gulf of Guinea Shipping Company together seem to be on a par with Dongsheng and Taihua, but on the African continent, especially in the eyes of Juan Mantal, who regards Garon Targaryen as a business legend, it can be said to be a behemoth.

Gallon Targaryen and Brahm were present, and they could not suspect that Cao Mo was lying.

"Mr. Xie has long been concerned about the good investment opportunities in Akwa, especially in the field of coal and iron, and he and I have always been business partners, so I have also determined the investment direction in Akwa very early. Before we officially set foot in Akwa, we noted that the Front for Democracy, as a political party representing the interests of the descendants of Akwa's colonizers, had a considerable number of members who had held very important positions in the exploitation of mineral energy such as the port of Akwa, the gold mines, coal, iron, and oil. Even though they were persecuted and expelled from their previous positions during their time under the Sawei authorities, I am confident that this situation will soon be remedied as the political changes in Akwa approach – which is why I have entrusted Brahm and Garon to actively seek the cooperation of Mr. Mantar and you......"

Of course, Cao Mo would not admit that he had been staring at the changes that would break out at any time in Akva from the beginning, but judging by the reaction of Juan Mantal and his entourage, it was clear that they had already decided in their hearts that his motive for arranging Brahm and Garon's contact with the Front for the Promotion of Democracy was what he explained, and they were all sighing in their hearts, right?

Cao Mo continued: "Of course, according to my previous character, it is enough to push the trouble to my trusted Brahm and Garon, I am not good at it, and I am not very happy to show it. It's just that this time the situation is more urgent, so I have to invite Mr. Mantar to meet here in the name of discussing cooperation......"

Zhou Han looked at Cao Mo even more puzzled, is this ready to directly expose the truth about Uffbonia's attempt to launch a military coup?

Didn't you try to avoid scaring the snake too early?

Aren't we afraid that the Front for the Promotion of Democracy, which has loose organizational relations and controversies over the handling of extremely sensitive issues with unpredictable consequences, will leak out the news ahead of time?
