"Mr. Li Mo, are you really coming to Somalia to invest?" Hashim, who was originally a little careless, got up from his chair after hearing the words of the Oriental. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info propped up on the two corners of the table and asked in surprise with wide eyes.

It's a surprise question, not a surprise question. This is said to be the current situation in Somalia. Someone came to invest, and Hashim, the minister of industry, should have offered the other party as God. But after hearing Li Mo's words, Hashim was not surprised at all, but was very surprised.

When he asked Li Mo, his mind was spinning sharply. What exactly does this Chinese mean? Will it be like those who said they were in the past and Koreans, in order to set up a mining company in Somalia? Dig up a certain national mineral you like, and immediately pat your ass and leave?

In Africa, both Somalia and other countries. Very few of the resources in the land really belong to the state. Most of them belong to the tribes. Only a small fraction are national. Some of this was 'gifted' by domestic tribes, and some were left by the previous regime.

Although Somalia's economy has collapsed, there are still a few minerals owned by the country. A few years ago, I said that myself, Koreans, and people from some Western countries came here in the hope of obtaining the right to develop a certain mineral. Among these people, the public relations ability of Yuben and South Korea is the best. At that time, the two small iron mines were respectively granted the right to develop by the two countries. But to the surprise of all those in power in Somalia. The cooperation was preceded by a pledge to increase investment in certain aspects of Somalia while developing mineral resources in Somalia. Completely gone. Plus regime change. Many people don't take this matter seriously. A few years passed. Those two small iron mines have long been emptied. And the commitment of the two countries, Ben and South Korea, has not seen a dime.

After the formation of the Provisional Political Axe, Hashim became Minister of Industry. After learning about this situation, he immediately regarded the Orientals, especially the Koreans and himself, as objects of incompatibility. Later, the two countries came again to 'examine' the Somali industrial market. It was bypassed by Hashem haha. These two countries have not been granted the right to exploit Somalia's domestic minerals at all.

Hashim learned from the information and from some of the workers of the Ministry of Industry who remained from the previous regime that the main purpose of the two countries was to obtain the right to exploit minerals under the guise of investment.

A lesson from the previous car, a teacher from the future. Hashim though he didn't know these eight words. But that doesn't mean he doesn't understand what it means.

Will the Oriental people in front of them be the same as those two countries, for the right to develop minerals?

Hashim's brown eyes looked at Li Mo vigilantly. It seems that the person in front of him is the one he has received before, the guy who is short in stature and is used to nodding his head.

"Yes, Minister Hashem. I have been to Somalia many times. And I have visited all parts of your country. Although there is some chaos in some parts of your country, but in general. It is still a virgin industrial land. I am very optimistic about investing in your country. Li Mo looked like a businessman and said half-truthfully.

"Mr. Li Mo, I don't know what industry you want to invest in?" Hashim's heart was vigilant. But he couldn't blast people out without listening to what Li Mo said. That would not only be sorry for the position of Minister of Industry, but also inconsistent with his usual prudence.

Li Mo still didn't know that the other party had classified him with Yuben and the Koreans in his heart. Otherwise, he wouldn't have to slap the table and turn his face immediately.

"After investigation, I found that in addition to the development of animal husbandry, your country is also rich in mineral resources." Li Mo replied with a smile.

And so it was! The same purpose as the person and the Koreans! Hashem heard that Li Mo was optimistic about mineral development. I defined Li Mo in my heart.

This Oriental must not be allowed to succeed! Hashim thought to himself.

"Mr. Li Mo, if you want to invest in mineral development, then I have to tell you with regret. For the time being, we can't work together. Because there is currently no plan to develop mineral resources in our country. Hashim looked at Li Mo and said with a regretful face.

Li Mo couldn't help frowning slightly. Don't have a plan to develop minerals? Before coming here, Li Mo also studied the development of mineral resources in Somalia. For now. In the whole of Somalia, in addition to beryl and gypsum, iron ore in some tribes is also being developed privately. Most of the other mineral resources are still buried in the ground.

For example, the Para tribe has a small iron mine in their hands. Before the Star Organization entered Somalia. This iron ore mine is a production stoppage. By the time Moore was in charge of the Paramingchu Army, he was in financial difficulty. It has also intensified its development. But after Moore was placed under house arrest and the Palamin Cooking Army was in the hands of Li Mo. This small iron ore mine was mothballed again.

It's not just the Para tribe. Li Mo had learned that most of the surrounding tribes were slowly exploiting the minerals under the tribe's name. A piece of Lower Juba State. Most of the mined iron ore was sold to an Italian steel company. These riches left to them by nature are not fully utilized.

Li Mo wants to obtain the right to develop minerals, not only for the sake of its interests. He also had a huge plan in mind. That is to establish a steel company in Somalia. A complete industrial chain from mining to smelting. After the stars are organized, all metal materials are self-sufficient. Don't worry about being stuck in the neck of the raw material after growing.

Obtaining the right to develop minerals will also deepen cooperation with Huaxia and make use of Huaxia's technology in steel mining and smelting. Serve the development of the Star organization.

But the words of the Somali Minister of Industry in front of him undoubtedly told Li Mo. His plan was about to be aborted before it could begin.

There are no mineral resources. The so-called plan is a castle in the sky. It simply can't be implemented.

"Minister Hashem, is it because there is no plan for mineral development that your government has turned away this huge cooperation? You know, this is an investment project involving hundreds of millions of dollars. This includes not only mineral development, but also the establishment of a steel smelter in Somalia. These will not only increase your country's tax revenue, but also provide a large number of jobs for your people. It can even fill an industrial gap in your country. Set an example for other foreign investors to attract foreign investment into Somalia. Do you want to refuse these benefits? Li Mo didn't give up and threw out a naked temptation. As long as this minister is not a straw bale. I don't think I will refuse this cooperation.

After listening to Li Mo's words, Hashim was already dumbfounded. Hundreds of millions of dollars in investment? Building a steel smelter? More taxes, more jobs? Attracting foreign investment?

Secretly swallowing a mouthful of saliva, Hashem had already forgotten the same definition as Li Mo and Han Yue in his heart. He has decided that he can't give up on missing out on this collaboration. As a country with a debt of more than $2 billion and a negative annual GDP, what does an investment of hundreds of millions of dollars mean? It means that an aircraft carrier has been driven out of the backwaters of a lake. A powerful propeller can drive fluctuations in at least one area, and can even turn stagnant water into living water. Because with aircraft carriers, then there must be escorted destroyers, frigates, nuclear submarines.

Just when Hashem was going to verbally agree to Li Mo first. Then immediately when he reported to the president, Li Mo said another sentence that made his heart skip a beat.

"In China and Kenya. I have a machine factory under my name. In Somalia, I also plan to build a machine factory. These are planned in the light of mineral development cooperation. Therefore, please be sure to think carefully about your country's political axe, whether you should refuse such a large investment? ”

Interim Political Axe President Abdiqasim? Zarate? Hassan is now faced with a choice. Today, just after he saw off Kenyalley, who had come to ask for military expenses, he then met with Hashim, who rushed to report.

President Hassan listened carefully to Hashim's report. There was no surprise or joy on his face. This 60-year-old man could not guess the real purpose of Li Mo's investment in Somalia. The things that South Korea and South Korea have done. As the president of the transitional political axe, Hassan certainly understands. Now there is another Oriental, even if the other party is Chinese. Hassan also didn't know if the other party had the same goals as Han and Yu.

Hashim tried to persuade the president to agree to the cooperation, but he took it back when the words came to his lips.

He knew that Abdikashimso was Mali's first president elected in a decade and had a high prestige among civil society. But that's what it is. So that Abdikassim is not decisive enough in some major matters. This is also due to the fact that in Somalia, warlord militants are rampant. The actions of these gun-armed warlord leaders who do not take the civilian political axe into account have made the president who has no armed support even more indecisive.

"Hashem, do you think we should agree to cooperate? Will they be like themselves and the Koreans, just to get the right to exploit minerals, and the rest is a lie? Abdikasim asked hesitantly, frowning deeply.

Sitting on the throne of the Transitional Political Axe President, Abdikassim realized that it would be too difficult to save Somalia. There is no scenery in the eyes of ordinary people, but it is like walking on thin ice. Every day, in addition to dealing with phone calls from various places asking for military funds, he also serves as a referee. Maneuver between the various forces, and resolve the disputes between the two sides over trivial matters, so as not to let these unobedient people fight over these matters and rekindle the civil war in Somalia.

Sitting on this powder keg-like presidential throne, Abdiqasim is exhausted every day. There is simply no time left to develop the economy. Now that people are coming to invest in Somalia, Abdikassim should be happy. But the lessons of Ben and South Korea made him hesitate. He was afraid to fall into the trap of these Orientals again. At that time, this matter may become a reason for political opponents to attack. Somalia can't afford to mess anymore. Abdikassim felt that the slightest suspicion could not be taken lightly.

"President, I don't think we have to be so careful. We can indicate in the agreement that the other party will set up a machine shop or smelter first. That's when the development rights were handed over to him. Only in this way can we guard against the traps that the other side may have laid! Hashim had a flash of inspiration and immediately thought of an idea.

Abdikassim pondered for a moment, thinking that Hashem had a good idea. Just let the other party build the so-called plant equipment. is not afraid of the other party's remorse.

"You bring it up at your regular meeting tomorrow morning. Let's talk about it together. If it is feasible, it is up to you to cooperate with this Huaxia person on behalf of the political axe. ”
