"I was born in Xinhai, my family was quite wealthy since I was a child, my family lived in Nanyang Road, my parents used the old house on Nanyang Road to do clothing wholesale and retail very early, and I was the first group of people in Xinhai to get rich. More than 10 years ago, a fire broke out on Nanyang Road, and a family of three was unfortunately burned to death, which was my parents and my grandmother. Although the investigation concluded that the wires were old and short-circuited, and the old house was used as a warehouse to pile up too many flammable goods, so that the fire could not be extinguished, no one could escape, and no trace of arson could be found, I knew that this was not the case. My parents have had business competition with Lu Jiancheng and Lu Jianchao brothers for a long time, and they have fought hard to grab the stalls on Xiangshan Road before, but my parents failed to fight the Lu brothers and were driven out of the Xiangshan Road wholesale market- My dad is not a person who is willing to give in easily, knowing that the Lu brothers are secretly smuggling clothes, so he secretly collects their evidence, and wants to report them for a breath, but he is also worried that the Lu brothers will do whatever it takes to retaliate, and sent me to the UK to study with a distant relative half a month before the fire, and I also found a relationship to change my household registration. You can say that there is no evidence for my suspicions, and I also thought that human nature would not be so evil, and I just wanted to live my own life from the beginning - but, Shen Ji, do you remember that at a gathering of international students, Lu Yan once proudly showed off the Lu family's fight for stalls on Xiangshan Road? Of course, Lu Yan was not stupid enough to say arson at the time, but he said that Lu Jianchao was fighting for the stalls, and he broke one of the legs of a competitor with his own hands when he participated in the fight...... It was after that meeting that I was sure that the Lu brothers were responsible for the fire in my house......"

Zhou Han looked sad and took out a small piece of newspaper folded very small from his wallet, but when he spread it out, it was a report on the Nanyang Road fire that year, only more than 100 words.

Cao Mo pursed her lips, shrugged her shoulders and stood against the door frame, not saying anything.

He could really feel the hatred that had accumulated too deep in Zhou Han's heart, so he was unwilling to uncover this scar.

And even Xinhai, the most economically developed in China, was still at the end of the reckless and barbaric era of the economic wave in the mid-to-early nineties.

It was not until the year before last that the city government decided to abolish the Xiangshan Road small commodity market, which has been a fake and shoddy street in recent years, and has even become famous at home and abroad, and in the early years, in order to compete for stalls and supply of goods, it is normal for stall owners and gangs in different regions to have a weapon fight for ten days and a half for ten days and a half, and there have even been cases of death by weapon fighting and a group of participants catching lots.

Cao Mo had heard of these before she went abroad.

There are quite a lot of wealthy people in Xinhai who are not engaged in industrial rise, like before the Lu family really made a fortune, Xinhai was just a large-scale self-employed person.

Although Cao Mo knew little about the Lu family before, during this time he also asked people to secretly collect materials from the Lu family and the Taihua Group, and he had long known that in the late 80s and early 90s, the Lu family was extremely ruthless and vicious in order to monopolize the best shops in the Xiangshan Road stalls, and Xinhai had long rumored that the Lu brothers used these shops to sell smuggled goods to all parts of the country, so as to earn the first pot of gold in Xinhai.

This kind of dregs-like old thing has become a rumor in Xinhai, but at this moment, because of Zhou Han's dregs, it makes people realize that the Lu family's methods are more ruthless than the rumors.

The rise of many wealthy people in Xinhai is due to original sin, Cao Mo saw that Chen Rong was listening to Zhou Han's narration, and there was a look on his face that he did not want to recall the past - although he did not know much about the details of Chen Rong and Han Shaorong's specific parting of ways, but Han Shaorong took advantage of the wave of state-owned employee shares to be listed and circulated in the early nineties, and before entering the securities market, Cao Mo still has some understanding of the unbearable past of accumulating capital such as catering and transportation, after all, his father was not doing business back then, and he was very fond of face. Talking about righteousness, I have done a lot of "stupid things" to block knives for others......

"The main culprit of the entire fraud gang is actually Liang Yuan, that is, the person standing next to Han Shaorong today, Zhou Han approached Liang Yuan and participated in them, the purpose was also to lead Liang Yuan and their target to the Lu family and deal with the Lu family,"

Cao Mo saw that Zhou Han's mood was not very stable, and he went on to explain to Chen Rong,

"I saw through Zhou Han's identity in Kanem a long time ago, and I ignored them at first, and later, in order to deal with the Jidam family, I used them to introduce the smuggling fleet of the Jidam family into the encirclement of the Benin military to strike. Speaking of the Jidam family, they actually secretly control a local gang in Kanem, smuggling crude oil, murdering and kidnapping, but if I want to gain a foothold in Kanem, I don't want to make a little achievement and end up in nothing, but I must defeat them. Because I don't know, the Tubman family, or the Felician family, or the Sika family, all have hurdles that they can't solve, and this hurdle allows us to work together – isn't it a little complicated to explain?"

Chen Rong opened her mouth slightly.

In Shen Ji's relay, Chen Rong knew that Cao Mo discovered the gold mine in Longta, and then participated in the mining of the gold mine to dig the first pot of gold in his life, and then invested in cement factories and hydropower stations, achieving today's scale in a very short period of time.

Of course, Chen Rong could imagine that things couldn't be so simple, but she never thought that the real inside story would be so complicated and dangerous.

There are some gang-like organizations in China, which have been evil for a while and have become local cancers, but they have never become a climate, but Chen Rong is more or less clear about what the concept of Kanem's underground gang organization is.

“...... The situation we are facing in Kanem is still more complicated," Cao Mo continued, "Niz Oppenheimer, who had been with us to defeat the Gyndam family, was still greedy for Taihua's interest in the refinery invested in Kanem, and after carving up the Gyndam's interests in the port of Lake Conero, they would inevitably cooperate more closely with the Lu family, and even behind the Oppenheimer family, there were one or two more powerful interest groups involved in their cooperation. As for Liang Yuan's unwillingness to be used by me on the one hand, and even thought that Zhou Han had betrayed him, and on the other hand, he swept away the 30 million US dollars that the entire gang had worked hard to defraud over the years, and he was afraid that I would use his accomplices to chase him to the ends of the earth and not let him go—I don't know when he will find out about my family's grievances with Han Shaorong, I guess he will be in the Spring Festival at the latest

He had already contacted Han Shaorong before and after, but he had not been able to fully trust Han Shaorong at that time. A year later, he tried to sabotage our mining rights to win the Wusang River copper-gold mine, although he did not succeed, but he also won Han Shaorong's trust. In the current situation, Han Shaorong should come forward as a guarantee, so that Liang Yuan can reconcile with the Lu family and deal with me together! Zhou Han is still just a chess piece for them to use......

Chen Rong understood why Cao Mo didn't let his father and Jiaying come over directly.

Although she is with Cao Xiong, in addition to the hard work and personnel complications, she will find Cao Xiong to talk about her grievances and find comfort, and in fact, she will not let Cao Xiong interfere in her affairs.

And everything Cao Mo is facing in Africa is more complicated than imagined, since it is impossible for his father to intervene, there is no way to intervene, and the 1510 and the dish will only increase the psychological burden of others; the key is that Cao Mo himself can already bear all this.

At this point, the Cao family must also need to be more vigilant and vigilant.

In addition to this, the most critical thing for Cao Mo at the moment is how to face the situation in front of him.

"The acquisition of shares by the New Iron and Steel Union in the Gulf of Guinea Shipping and Mining Trading Company must have come to naught, is it possible for them to continue to acquire the Catelo Iron and Steel Plant?" asked Chen Rong with a frown.

"I still don't know the inside story of the new Ganglian's equity division reform, but according to today's situation, Han Shaorong needs to have an entry point to intervene in West Africa, and since Yu Jinjie has been led by Han Shaorong's nose, I suspect that Han Shaorong will intervene in the Xinganglian equity division reform, and then push the new Ganglian to continue to complete the acquisition of Katero Iron and Steel Plant - of course, the order of the two can also be reversed, and there is no real impact, this should be their most likely choice," Cao Mo lowered his head, touched his forehead with his hand and thought, "Kanem went from the federal government to the local state government, after all, the electoral system is implemented, and Blake is not the only one in the state government - we are good friends with the Blake family, especially since we have been pushing the investment project of the Catelo Steel Plant in the early stage, so it is difficult for Governor Blake to suddenly change his position and put resistance to the project in turn......"

Shen Ji frowned and said: "The investment project of the Catro Iron and Steel Plant itself is not bad, and after the acquisition of it by the New Iron and Steel Union, it is easy to bypass the Gulf of Guinea shipping and mining companies and sign supply agreements with the Akwa authorities or other ore traders - they can even use the investment in the Mamba iron ore mine as a bait to influence the Akwa authorities, which may be more troublesome......"

In any case, the Front for the Promotion of Democracy (FDD) led by Juan Mantar is currently a small party in Akwa attached to the Saviyi regime, and Juan Mantar himself is only a deputy minister of economy in the civilian government of the Saviyi regime.

And the biggest impact of this incident on them is also the main purpose of Han Shaorong and Lu Jianchao who deliberately chose to show their fangs at Jinchen Golf Course, that is, to cut off the possibility of them getting support from Xinhai City.

Aside from the influence exerted by Han Shaorong and the Lu family, whether overtly or implicitly, who would choose to cooperate with a company that was inexplicably involved in the financial fraud case?

In addition to Ding Zhaoqiang's attitude, how will other investors and shareholders of Dongsheng view the scene that happened in the stadium today?

Especially Shen Ji will have to face his embarrassing identity next.

He is firmly on Cao Mo's side, Yibogu Gold Mining and Conero Cement Group have great development potential, and no matter how well his uncle treats him, it is impossible to give him three or five shares of Dongsheng Group for nothing.

However, he has always been Ding Zhaoqiang's nephew, and he has always been the vice president of Dongsheng Group's overseas department in charge of the overall work, and their parents and other relatives and friends are inextricably linked with Dongsheng Group, and it is impossible to say that they have left the Ding family.

In comparison, Chen Rong's relationship with Dongsheng Group is simpler.

If the relationship is bad, Chen Rong will resign from Dongsheng's post and simply become a financial investor in the listed company Dongsheng Group, and he can even reduce all the shares of Dongsheng Group from the securities market and cash out.

"They want to intervene in the political situation in Akwa, and they don't have to worry about anything," seeing that not only Shen Ji, but also Chen Rong, Song Yuqing, and Chen Feng were worried, Cao Mo said with a smile, "We should be grateful to the Brotherhood of Steel for forcing us to develop in a different way in West Africa, otherwise in the face of their menacing momentum, we may really have to tie up and kneel and beg for mercy." Now, if they want to take me down, they may have to go to Africa for two or three years to have a little confidence......"

Shen Ji knew that Cao Mo was talking about the Conero Security Company and the Tubman Security Consulting Company, which was incorporated in Benin by the Tubman family.

After April, they faced a very good situation, and at the same time, the funds were so tight, Stari insisted on using the proceeds from the sale of the Crow River Hydropower Station to Cornello Energy and part of the Tubman family's sale of oil palm land to Dongsheng, totaling $9 million, to increase investment in Tubman Security Consultants.

He studied and worked in China and the United Kingdom, and had no personal experience of the chaos in Africa, so he did not have a particularly imminent sense of crisis.

This is probably the most important step in securing their investments in West Africa.

In a short period of time, Han Shaorong and Lu Jianchao, even if they completely wooed Niz Oppenheimer and wanted to use the advantage of capital to roll Cao Mo on the land of West Africa from the beginning, it would be far from possible.

At this time, Shen Ji's mobile phone rang, Chen Rong's mobile phone rang almost at the same time, and he took out his mobile phone and saw that it was the contact number of the president of Dongsheng's office.

"It should be Ding Zhaoqiang who told us to go back to Dongsheng for a ......meeting," Chen Rong said with some concern.

"You guys go to the meeting, I also have to find a place to rest, I thought I could sign a contract to rest for a while when I came back this time, I didn't get a good night's sleep on the plane,"

Cao Mo didn't think that Ding Zhaoqiang would call Shen Ji and Chen Rong to Dongsheng, and something particularly unfavorable would happen to him, so he yawned and said,

"Han Shaorong, Lu Jianchao, and Lu Jiancheng were black enough in the past, but they made enough money, especially after rough primitive accumulation

There are new rules of the game that can help them make more money, and they have all whitewashed their habits of being justices of the peace. They're going to pull me into their game now, but they can't use as much as I do, so there's really nothing to worry about - I'm having a good day anyway, and they don't have a problem with me, do they?"

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

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

After Cao Mo and the others left, Zhang Chaoyang also found an excuse to leave the Jinchen Golf Club, sat in the black Audi and smoked a cigarette, dropped the cigarette butt to the ground, sighed softly, stepped on the accelerator and left.

His own position in the New Steel Federation and his professional future have determined that it is inconvenient for him to disagree with Yu Jinjie in public, but it does not mean that Yu Jinjie has to participate in everything, and he does not like the feeling of being used.

Zhang Chaoyang's car was parked in the parking lot in front of the hall of the club, watching his black Audi leave, Han Shaorong did not say a word with a gloomy face.

Although he has been in contact with all kinds of business managers over the years, two thousand years later, professional managers have become a new gold-collar class in China, especially in Xinhai City, Han Shaorong has also met many people with ability, personality, and their own persistence.

However, the saliva on his face had not dried yet, Zhang Chaoyang just found an excuse to leave at random, and he didn't even hide his dissatisfaction after being used in his heart, which made Han Shaorong feel extremely impetuous, sitting in front of the floor-to-ceiling window in the hall, smoking a cigarette, and his mind slowly calmed down.

Don't talk about Han Shaorong, even the Lu family brothers in Xinhai have few people who want to offend, and at this time, everyone else has dispersed one after another, and they no longer have to stay in the hall to watch the excitement.

Only the service staff and security guards inside and outside the hall will inevitably sneak a glance here.

Yu Jinjie sat silently opposite Han Shaorong, he was completely cooperating with Han Shaorong in the whole thing, and even before that, he didn't know much about Cao Mo; of course, he wouldn't worry about anything at this level, he had encountered more fierce characters in his life, and he just said a few cruel words.

And even if Cao Mo is a powerful character, it is the Lu family brothers and Han Shaorong who are in front, why is he in a hurry?

Lu Jianchao stood in the corner talking on the phone, Chen Xiaoping's entourage of staff and bodyguards stood scattered on the left and right - Liang Yuan also seemed to sit at the table with a calm face, fiddling with a gold-plated lighter in his hand casually.

After a while, seeing Lu Jianchao coming over worriedly over the phone, Han Shaorong asked, "What's the situation on Draculamore's side?"

"Lu Yan has been taken away by the Longta police, and Niz Oppenheimer said that he can't do anything about this matter, and it depends on the preliminary review of the case, and now he will help us connect with the best lawyer - he has made it clear that he doesn't see rabbits and eagles......" Lu Jianchao said with a gloomy face.

"Don't worry about other things, we can slowly think about it in the long run, and the most important thing is to ensure that Lu Yan is safe and sound first,"

Han Shaorong knew that Lu Jiancheng's only son, Lu Yan, was controlled by the Longta police, which was equivalent to a hostage in Cao Mo's hands, and he had no reason to force the Lu family brothers at this time, so he said slowly,

"We still underestimate the Cao family's Xiaoqisan, much stronger than his old son Cao Xiong - however, Liang Yuan's analysis is very reasonable, the Wusang River cannot be just a medium-sized mine with reserves of only ten or two hundred thousand metal tons, otherwise they would not be in such a hurry to raise funds. Zhang Chaoyang went to the site to see that the three exploration sites they drilled in April were far away from the metallogenic area they had reported to the Akwa authorities, and if they were to estimate the three newly drilled exploration sites, the reserve scale would have to increase by at least ten or twenty times......

Lu Jianchao was silent.

"You go to Ding Zhaoqiang and ask him to help solve the matter in front of you first, but we still have to deal with Ding Zhaoqiang's relationship - of course, you can also tell Ding Zhaoqiang that everything that the Cao family did to us today was not done to him,"

Han Shaorong continued to say slowly,

"I also heard that the Cao family's little deflated three are here to fight against the son of Yang Jiguo of Huayi Commercial, and it is also in front of Ding Zhaoqiang - Hexi Fund acquired part of the equity of Conero Energy, it should be after that, right? I think this matter is worth excavating. Of course, we have learned a lesson today, and many things can no longer be rushed......"

"But this matter can't be our Lu family to charge ahead, in the end, it is our Lu family who suffers, right? Lu Jianchao also said slowly, glancing at Liang Yuan.

If Cao Mo can be stranded in China to assist in the investigation as planned today, and then, with the cooperation of the Oppenheimer family, quickly interrupt the capital chain of the Ibogu Gold Mining Group and the Conero Cement Group, they can get a lot by virtue of the equity pledge agreement, and they can not pay attention to the gains and losses of 50 million.

However, now that it is time to think about it in the long run, if the Lu family still has to swallow their anger and suffer this loss, I am afraid that it will not be possible to get much in the end by cooperating with Han Shaorong.

"......" Liang Yuan was silent, just looked at Han Shaorong.

In the financial fraud case, the "evidence" submitted by the Taihua Group to the police was completely ignored by him - under Cao Mo's threat, the Lu family either ignored Lu Yan's safety and carried it to the end, or found a way to withdraw the case; before the Lu family cooperated with Cao Mo, he no longer had to be afraid that the Lu family would be involved.

So he was not in a hurry, and there was no reason to spit out 50 million easily.

Han Shaorong closed his eyes and thought for a moment, then opened his eyes and said to Lu Jianchao: "The state-owned shares of the New Iron and Steel Union, how about Taihua take one more point?"

Yu Jinjie sat aside and said nothing, and it was Han Shaorong who wanted to let him.

"The difference of one point is not so high, two points!" Lu Jianchao said bargaining.

"Before the suspension of the new steel union, the market was worried that the state-owned shares would be greatly reduced, the stock price was a little low, and the market value was less than 30 billion, which was far from the value of the new steel union - you have to believe my intuition, after the share reform plan was passed, the market value of the new steel union could not be less than 50 billion!" Han Shaorong said, "I can give you a promise here, if it is the turn of the Lu family to lift the ban on stocks, the market value of the new steel union is less than 50 billion, and the insufficient part of my Han Shaorong will make up for the Lu family...... If you don't believe me, we can sign an agreement. ”
