Chapter 427: Question
Only then did Cao Mo know that the problems Sturgeon faced might be even more difficult than the ones he faced.
Some old chaebol families in Europe and the United States, for various reasons, usually put huge wealth under the banner of family foundations for unified control and management.
Family members rely on the Foundation, and although they can maintain a decent life, most of the family members, except for a few who directly serve in the Foundation, have little control over the family wealth.
Sturgeon was recalled from Dracula to England by Forster Sr. because of a bloody conflict within the family, and then further kicked out of the Foundation.
Not only will he lose his senior position at Banco Nacional Ultramarino, but he will borrow the resources of Banco Nacional Ultramarino and join forces with the Oppenheimer family to create the Furkov Investment Company, which will likely fall into the hands of others.
"What's Sturgeon's attitude?"
Cao Mo privately left Sturgeon to talk on the beach, except for Cheng Xi, no one else was present, and Yang Deshan was now very concerned about Sturgeon's attitude towards the whole thing.
"Sturgeon should be contradictory," Cao Mo said, "of course he doesn't want everything he runs in Kanem to be replaced so easily, and he himself ends up in nothing, but at the same time he is jealous of Avenna, and he is too cautious to act rashly, he may think in his heart that Avena will not have too much ambition to invest in Volkov, and will leave him room to turn around...... Now it seems, we can't give him that leeway!"
Liang Yuan and Guo Jian are just puppets pushed out by Han Shaorong, Liang Yuan even used Han Shaorong's back to manipulate him this time, and Cao Mo would not take him very seriously.
Whether Liang Yuan can cause trouble for him or not depends on strength in the end, but Cao Mo attaches great importance to Sturgeon, and no matter what level it is, Volkov Investment Co., Ltd. already has a lot of weight on the shores of Lake Conero.
Whichever direction of the Volkov investment as a whole, or the love-hate relationship between Sturgeon, Niz Oppenheimer and the rest of the Foster family behind the Folkoff investment, will have a crucial impact on the future direction of Lake Conero.
Of course, this will also have an incalculable impact on Tianyue's future foothold in Akwa and West Africa.
Regarding the relationship between Sturgeon and Avenna, the follow-up is of course to dig up more flashpoints within the Foster family.
Whether it is misleading, or secretly pushing, to prompt Niz O'Habenmer to choose between Sturgeon and Avenna as soon as possible, Sturgeon will have a stronger sense of crisis in Sturgeon's heart.
The stronger Sturgeon's sense of crisis, the narrower the room for choice, the more likely it is to work with them.
"Nsanger, Sturgeon here, and Brahm you have to bother more, and Abacha can also go to Draculamo from time to time to find them for a drink," Cao Mo said, "And in addition to the situation of Badenai Savei Jr. and his relationship with the other members of the Savui family, we should also dig out as soon as possible and deepest, you can ask Xie Sipeng to find Juan Mantar and say that we still hope that things can have a happy ending, and see how much appetite the other party has......"
Cao Mo is not in the mood to stay overnight at Lana Dere Resort, let alone wait until the next day to sit leisurely in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows, enjoying the warm feeling of Zhaohui sprinkled on his body through the floor-to-ceiling windows.
However, late at night, he drove to the lakeside Yasha with everyone, Cao Mo saw a few simple huts and wooden houses on both sides of the road from time to time looming under the stars and moon, remembering that he had just arrived in Draculamo and was poor and white, nothing, in order to win more than ten or twenty dollars in Yan Zhicheng's gold dollar casino one night, he was able to endure the discard for two or three hours in a row, thinking of just entering the jungle north of the Ibogu tribe to mine, and sleeping in a thick jacket and pants in the hot and embarrassing night, but he was still bitten by mosquitoes and couldn't sleep, and suddenly figured out that the sudden situation encountered in front of him was really nothing to worry about。
He should not be afraid to leave, so he should not worry about being coerced.
It was close to the early morning when they arrived at the lakeside house, Jiaying, Wu Ruifang, Cheng Xin and Yu Jing were all sleepy, and they all went back to their rooms to rest, but Cao Mo was not sleepy, just sat on the terrace and listened to the sound of the waves hidden in the depths of the night.
“......”
Cheng Xi put his hands around him from behind.
Cao Mo raised his head and rested his head between Cheng Xi's soft chest and abdomen, feeling the tenderness and indescribable peace of mind brought to him by this delicate body.
After a while, Cao Mo stretched out his hand and pulled Chengxi to sit in his arms, and looked at her delicate and flawless little face by the not very bright street lights outside the eaves, and asked, "Why don't you sleep yet, do you want to sleep with me?"
"I can accompany you, but you can't have other ideas. Cheng Xi said in a soft voice.
Since the relationship between the two was confirmed, Cao Mo has stayed in China for a long time a few years ago, but in addition to Yang Lifang, Cheng Xi has always been a little hesitant in his heart, so that Cao Mo and Cheng Xi have no real relationship.
And at this moment, Cao Mo saw Cheng Xi's intentions, and immediately picked up Cheng Xi's body, which seemed to him to be quite delicate, and said with a smile: "Do you say this is possible, how can I not even be as good as a beast?"
Although the relationship between the two was so good that they used to move a little bit when they were in middle school, and after the relationship between the two was confirmed in the past year, Cao Mo did not create more private opportunities to make love with Cheng Xi, but now it is really time to see the real chapter, Cao Mo untied Cheng Xi like a little sheep on the plain bed illuminated by the moonlight, and he was still so excited that his hands and feet trembled slightly, like a junior brother......
When he woke up early in the morning and saw Cheng Xi looking at him with his eyes open, Cao Mo wiped his face and asked, "Do I have a lot of eye feces on my face, are you looking at me like this?"
"......" Cheng Xi stretched out his hand and knocked Cao Mo, now he was not afraid of waking him up, so his elbow was directly on Cao Mo's broad chest, staring at his face.
Although I didn't sleep for a few hours, I was indescribably refreshed.
The morning sun shines in through the window and shines on the rough floor, making the room very bright.
"In the past few years you have been in Africa, the changes have really been great, I have always had a feeling of estrangement, a lot of strangeness, and I don't know what you have experienced in Africa, there are some things in you, I really can't figure it out - what you told me before is actually really not enough, I work hard to learn something, but I feel vague about this land, the people here, and even the people around you, so I always have some hesitation in my heart......" Cheng Xi whispered.
Of course, Cao Mo could already feel the complicated feelings in Cheng Xi's heart, but there were too many things involved, how could he confide in Cheng Xi, and at this time he could only divert the topic and ask:
"So you've only been in Africa for a day, and you have a clear understanding of this land?"
"I'm not that smart—but I should have been hesitant and cautious when I first stepped into this land, but I didn't turn away, and I shouldn't have let that hesitation in my heart frighten me. Cheng Xi said.
Cao Mo emotionally hugged Cheng Xi into her arms, and at this time she heard the sound of Jiaying and them talking outside.
Although they had gone to bed late the previous night, they had gotten up early in the morning in good spirits and were ready to run to the lakeside beach, which was not inferior to the beach, to watch the shuttle-shaped fishing boats sail through Lake Conero.
On the north shore of Lake Conero, the largest fishing market in Lonta, the fishermen still use traditional shuttle boats to catch their catch offshore, which is hard work and the harvest is limited.
However, the scene of hundreds of shuttle boats going to sea together is very exotic, Jiaying never gets tired of watching it, and she also called everyone up very early.
Cheng Xi was still a little embarrassed and couldn't get up, although in the eyes of others, they all felt that Cao Mo and she should have eaten the forbidden fruit a long time ago, but when they were in Xinhai, she had no chance or reason to stay with Cao Mo for the night.
And early in the morning, many people ran to the lakeside Yashe to see Cao Mo, and Cao Mo couldn't let others wait, so he went to the next room to deal with things.
It seems that Cao Mo arranged a separate room for himself yesterday, purely because he didn't want to interfere with Cheng Xi's rest due to cumbersome affairs, and he also needed to have a separate room to deal with work in the lakeside house, and meet with the person in charge of all aspects to talk about things.
It wasn't until Cao Jiaying and the others walked back from the beach for breakfast that Cheng Xi walked out of the room.
"Do you have anything uncomfortable? The lake is beautiful in the early morning, let's hurry up and eat something, and we will take a speedboat to the sea later!" Jia Ying ran over and grabbed Cheng Xi, seeing that she was refreshed, and didn't see anything uncomfortable about her body, she asked curiously.
"Why are you so energetic, I can't get up so early, and I haven't been so sleepy after a good night's sleep!" Cheng Xi said with a deliberate yawn.
The Lakeside House had always been in charge of Porto's sister Sterna, but it was too late and the light was not good when she arrived yesterday, so Cheng Xi really didn't distinguish between a Yoruba woman with dark and smooth skin, a tall figure, and a high forehead and thick lips.
In Cheng Xi's eyes, there is really not much difference between them.
Only Lucy, who is quite large, hugged Cao Mo warmly when she saw Cao Mo last night, leaving a deep impression on Cheng Xi.
Fortunately, Jiaying had already spent a thrilling vacation in the lakeside house, and secretly introduced Cheng Xi again.
However, the customers who are open to the outside world are mainly managers from China - the breakfast room is located on the lakeside, and the courtyard is mostly familiar with Chinese faces, which makes people feel more friendly.
It was also at this time that Cheng Xi had the opportunity to witness everything that Cao Mo had personally created here in the past few years.
Sterna only received a formal primary education, but she used fluent Chinese to introduce everything here to Cheng Xi, and how it all miraculously changed from a barren place to a reality that can be seen and reached when you open your eyes, and unabashedly expressed her admiration and love for Cao Mo and all the African employees working for Tianyue, as if Cao Mo was the great chief and king of this land......
