"This is the 'Somali National Guest House'?" Standing in front of a four-story building that looked similar to a hotel in a small county town in Huaxia, Li Mo asked suspiciously. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Perhaps he had already guessed that Li Mo would have such an expression, Lei Zhen smiled and said in a low voice, "Do you think there will be a Jin Mao Building here?" There was a hint of a playful look in his expression.

"Uh......" Li Mo was speechless, and followed Lei Zhen into the 'Somali National Guest House'. In my mind, I was thinking that Somalia is really one of the least developed countries, and the place where the central government of a country receives foreign guests is no different from an ordinary hotel.

Seeing Li Mo coming, Ding Huiqiang and others, who were close to him, all warmly greeted him. Then Lei Zhen introduced He Bin, commercial counselor of the Chinese Embassy in Kenya, to Li Mo. Originally, He Bin's level would definitely not be able to access such confidential information, but now he has become the contact person of Huaxia Political Axe and Somali Transitional Political Axe, and as a diplomat, his loyalty to Huaxia can definitely stand the test. So it is necessary to know Li Mo.

Looking at the young man with a very natural face in front of him, He Bin suddenly felt that he was old. Young people in their twenties, who are still students in Huaxia, are struggling at the bottom of any industry even if they come out to work; But the young man in front of him is obviously a bit of a 'demon', he has cooperated with the country many times at a young age and is valued by the state, and he can still build a career in a chaotic place like Somalia. How can he not let the forty-year-old sigh that the back waves of the Yangtze River push the front waves?

A few people chatted casually at first, and Lei Zhen and Ding Huiqiang secretly passed a few glances from time to time. They were all speculating about the reason why Li Mo suddenly came to Mogadishu.

Regardless of whether they were jealous or not, they could not deny that Li Mo was now more 'busy with work' than them, and in this case, he would definitely not come to Mogadishu to visit his old friends.

"Team Leader Lei, I'm here for the copper mine this time. How have you been in contact with the Somali political axe during this time? Li Mo suddenly changed the topic and mentioned copper mining.

Several people who had been guessing Li Mo's intentions in their hearts were stunned at the same time. At the beginning, Li Mo said that copper mining would not start until after the end of the border conflict at Soken, so why did he come to the door in a hurry to inquire about it? Could it be that something has happened on the other side of the border?

Lei Zhen, who was full of imagination, replied quietly on his face, "The domestic machinery and equipment have long been ready to be loaded on the ship, and it will arrive here in about a month and a half." The Somali government has agreed to develop the copper mine in cooperation between Huaxia, Somalia and Li Moyou. Their condition is that they cannot reduce the proportion of shares held by Somali Zhengaxe, that is to say, Huaxia Zhengax and you can hold a total of 60% of the shares, and the specific decision will be made by us and you. ”

"Li Mo, could it be that you can already control the copper mine?" As soon as Lei Zhen finished speaking, Li Guoqing on the side asked a little anxiously. He was the head of the 'business delegation' from China to Somalia, and he was the only one who had one mission, that is, copper mining cooperation. Therefore, as to whether this copper mine can be mined as soon as possible, the most anxious person is Li Guoqing.

Although Li Mo also wanted to develop this copper mine as soon as possible, not to mention that the mining equipment had not yet been delivered, he could not spare the manpower to solve the problem of the tribe that currently occupied the copper mine. He came today to make money, not to discuss what to mine for copper.

"Of course not, there are a lot of variables on the border side because of the covert involvement of the United States. At the moment I don't have the strength to influence Gedo State. It's the territory of the Fortune Movement, and it can't be done without their consent. Today I mean I'm asking you for money. Li Mo shook his head and explained. The last sentence surprised several people in the room.

Want money? Several people glanced at each other, as if they all wanted to know who owed Li Mo money. But everyone is shaking their heads to indicate that it is not themselves.

"Li Mo, you're not joking, are you? What money are you looking for us? This sentence was naturally asked by Lei Zhen, who had a 'close' relationship with Li Mo.

"Of course, I could say that I borrowed money from you." Li Mo nodded, looking really like this.

Several people also understood in their hearts that Li Mo was going to borrow money from Huaxia Political Axe. As for Li Mo's lack of money, this is easy to explain, fighting a war. Spending money is definitely like running water. However, everyone has not encountered such a way of borrowing money and the person who borrows money. They didn't know what to answer for a moment.

Sure enough, Li Mo's next words undoubtedly proved their guess.

"You also know that there is a war on my side, and this is part of the cooperation with you. At the beginning, the conditions for cooperation were that the political axe would support some of my funds and some technicians. The technician is not in a hurry for the time being, but you have to give me the money first. And the copper mine in Gedo Prefecture, I won't say much about the equipment and technology you have produced, everyone owns half of the 60% shares, and I will use 30% of the shares as collateral to borrow money from you, and you can calculate how much you can lend me? Li Mo also knew that his words were too 'terrifying', so he tried to speak slowly in a relatively calm voice.

didn't know that this passage made Lei Zhen and several people feel a pang in their hearts. What does this guy Li Mo want so much money for? One of the conditions agreed to secretly cooperate with the state to contain and weaken Kenya's strength is to secretly support part of Li Mo's funds. This money was originally negotiated for 16 million US dollars, but it could not be given to Li Mo at once, but was given in batches based on Li Mo's actual record in the Soken conflict. Li Mo didn't care too much about this amount of money now, after all, the amount before this was not much. That's just over $10 million.

But Li Mo wanted to use 30% of the shares of the copper mine as collateral to borrow money from Huaxia Political Axe. How much is a 30% stake in a medium-sized copper mine, and it is worth at least hundreds of millions of dollars. Li Mo urgently needs so much money now, is it really just to fight with Kenya?

Lei Zhen's face became serious, this kind of capital turnover involving hundreds of millions of US dollars, whether he is still here, has no power to decide, and it must be decided by the top level in China. Moreover, this kind of "funding" of non-political armed forces is unlikely to be an open remittance, which involves multiple transfers to evade the detection of intelligence agencies of other countries, which is very troublesome.

"Li Mo, you tell me the truth, what are you going to do with so much money? You should know that this is not something we can decide. Lei Zhen asked in a deep voice, his sharp eyes staring at Li Mo tightly, wanting to find something on his face.

Among the four main members of Huaxia, only Li Guoqing, the deputy director of the overseas development department of the metal group, was the most happy with Li Mo's proposal. Huaxia is a copper ore importing country, if Li Mo can hold 30% of the copper mine shares in his hands, plus the 40% shares in the hands of the Somali political axe, it can be said that as long as a little bit of work, all the metal copper produced by this medium-sized copper mine can be transported back to Huaxia as Huaxia industrial raw materials and national defense raw materials. It's a big credit to him. But he also understood that he couldn't call the shots here, so he had to look at Lei Zhen and Ding Huiqiang dryly, hoping that they would agree.

Li Mo smiled indifferently and replied, "Team Leader Lei, you don't care about this." You can report my proposal to the country and let the top level decide. But this matter needs to be done as soon as possible, I urgently need this money here. "Of course, he will not directly say that he will use this money to buy the 'Lion King Infantry Fighting Vehicle'. Although many things have been revealed to Huaxia by him now, it does not mean that the Star Organization has no secrets.

"Hehe, I think Li Mo's idea is very good. Team Leader Lei, if you are not willing to cooperate with Li Mo, our company can cooperate with Li Mo in the form of commercial cooperation, and our company can still get hundreds of millions of US dollars. Li Guoqing, who had been impatient for a long time, saw that the situation was not good, and interjected at the moment. As a state-owned super-large enterprise, Huaxia Metal Group can indeed spend hundreds of millions of dollars at any time to 'buy' 30% of Li Mo's shares. What Li Guoqing hopes most now is that Li Mo can agree to his proposal. Although Li Mo's cooperation with Lei Zhen and his cooperation seem to be no different, the shares of the copper mine are all in the hands of Huaxia in the end, but the difference between him and himself is big.

Lei Zhen's mind moved, Li Guoqing's words were not unreasonable. There are indeed great risks and troubles in cooperating with Li Mo in the name of political axe, but in the form of commercial cooperation, let Huaxia Metal Group cooperate with Li Mo's mineral resources development company, and the share trading between the two is purely commercial cooperation, and the intelligence organizations of other countries will only pay attention to it at most, and will not be vigilant.

No matter who Li Moke cooperates with, what he needs most is money, as long as he gets hundreds of millions of dollars, the Ming Cooking Army can quickly have several mechanized infantry regiments, and its strength can be upgraded to a higher level. And he didn't care about the shares of the copper mine. Think about Li Yanran's reminder last night, Li Mo got the shares of the copper mine, and most of the copper ore mined or smelted metal copper was also sold to others. The base simply doesn't need that much. So whether this stake is the same or not. It's better to sell it now for money and buy infantry fighting vehicles.

If his demand for mineral resources increases in the future, he can 'cooperate' with the Somali political axe, and there is more than one copper mine in Somalia.

Lei Zhen was also helpless about Li Mo's refusal to answer, the two were just a cooperative relationship, not a subordinate relationship, and he couldn't force Li Mo to answer. And Li Mo's proposal is indeed beneficial to Huaxia. He had no reason to object. However, Lei Zhen was very interested in the reason why Li Mo urgently needed such a large sum of money. I secretly decided in my heart that if Fan Qingqing was going to trick Li Mo later, I had to let those people in the intelligence side pay more attention.

"I will report your proposal to the country, and I will reply to you in the next two days at most. As for the money promised to you, I won't give you all of it, the first payment is in my hands, but it's only $3 million. This one can be given to you right now. Lei Zhen thought about it and felt that it was better to help Li Mo, after all, the bigger Li Mo did, the better it would be for Huaxia and him.

Li Mo showed a satisfied smile on his face, he hadn't paid attention to the 3 million US dollars, and the main purpose of this visit was the funds that could be exchanged for copper mine shares. However, no matter how small the mosquito is, it is still meat, and 3 million US dollars is at least enough to cook a month's salary for officers and soldiers.
