Isabel didn't stay in the villa after all, and made Chen Mo angry, but she slipped away.

Chen Mo was still thinking that having Hana could solve the problem, but when he stripped Hana naked, saw her swollen grave nakedness, and then saw her pitiful expression, he couldn't do anything.

It's just that Hana is a novice again, even if she is willing to use other means to comfort Chen Mo, but her skills are very poor, and she has been entangled for a long time, but she has not been able to satisfy Chen Mo.

Let Chen Mo only carry the pain of dissatisfaction and look forward to the future.

Early the next morning, the two soldiers came to the villa with the instructions of the leader. Together with Chen Mo's four bodyguards, a team of six bodyguards was formed to escort Chen Mo and them to Cabinda.

The role of these two soldiers is not only to protect them, but also to be responsible for liaising with the army in the Cabinda area and calling for help when Chen Mo and them are in danger.

Of course, Chen Mo and the others all thought that this was just in case, and they didn't think that their party would encounter any danger. The Cabinda region is, after all, the most peaceful region in Angola today, even more stable than the capital, Luanda.

There is a very interesting thing, that is, although I am going to my own country, I still have to go abroad.

Cabinda is an enclave, separated from Angola by an outlet to the Democratic Republic of the Congo. This section of the estuary separates Cabinda from the mainland, so the easiest way to get to Cabinda is by boat.

Angola's economic development is mediocre, and the DRC is one of the poorest countries in the world. The infrastructure construction of these two countries is very backward, not to mention the standard grade roads, even the gravel roads are intermittent.

In addition, there is a Congo River between Angola and the Democratic Republic of the Congo, and there are no bridges on the river, so you have to rely on ferries to cross the river. For the sake of safety, Chen Mo and the others did not consider taking the land route, but took a boat directly from the sea.

There were not many people who accompanied Chen Mo to Cabinda. In addition to Xu Yunteng and Liu Gang, there are also liaison personnel of two companies. However, in addition to two bodyguards, the Angolan side also sent two government workers, plus Ovani and two shareholder representatives. There were also a few bodyguards, forming a team of twenty people.

The convoy entered the port of Luanda, and the five cars drove directly onto a river ferry, which looked half-new.

Domestically, such flat-bottomed ferries can be used on the river because of the higher center of gravity. Completely incapable of protecting against the waves.

But in Angola, in order to save costs, such ships have been responsible for the shipping route between Luanda and Cabinda.

After Chen Mo got on the boat, he looked at the ferry, which was only about 1,000 tons, and couldn't help asking, "Is it safe?" ”

Xu Yunteng himself was also a little weak-hearted, and smiled reluctantly: "We are driving close to the coastline, there should be no problems." ”

Although the sea view of this route is stunning, most people's minds are not used to enjoy the scenery. In addition to a few bodyguards, each of them has a different task and everyone spends time on the ship. The discussion began.

Cabinda is Angola's window to the outside world, and although the current political situation is very calm, this is only the general environment. And underneath the calm appearance, there is actually a political wrestling between various forces.

More than 100 years ago, the Cabinda region was separated from the mainland by Belgium at the Berlin Conference, and since then there has been a strong independent national front in the Cabinda region.

However, at the end of Portugal's colonial rule, the sovereignty of Cabinda was returned to Angola, which also led to the constant confrontation between Cabinda and the mainland.

However, in previous years, Cabinda had been a poor area. The economy could not be independent, and it had to rely on various local aids, but it also maintained peace for a while.

But since the discovery of oil in Cabinda, the fire of independence has been burning harder.

After dos Santos came to power. The right approach has been taken to keep the political situation here in a relatively balanced state.

Even if there is a lot of war on the ground now, but with the tacit understanding of the warring parties, this enclave can still maintain a peaceful situation.

In previous years, those extremist organizations have almost collapsed, and now the government here. It is a tripartite government that maintains a delicate balance.

The political environment in African countries is different from that at home, and many regions still maintain tribal systems, which is somewhat similar to the political system of our country in the feudal period. The government's control will only reach the county level, and the power below will be controlled by the local tribal leaders, and the government's law enforcement power is pitiful.

It is this complex situation that has led to the fact that neither CNPC nor Petronas has invested here, because taking sides can have serious political repercussions. However, they didn't come in person, which also gave Chen Mo the opportunity to develop here.

They don't invest here, but they won't refuse the crude oil here, as long as Chen Mo can stabilize here, as long as there is output, at least there is no need to worry about future sales.

They are afraid of taking political risks, but Chen Mo does not have to be afraid, knowing that he will be on the side of President Dos Santos without hesitation in the future. Just like the general situation here in Cabinda, although there are risks, at least the surface is calm.

And as long as these two years have passed, no, there is only a little more than a year. After this period, Chen Mo's harvest will also be huge.

According to the plan, Chen Mo will first meet with the head of government here, most of whom are on the side of President dos Santos. Even if there are representatives of the opposition, they will not put up any obstacles in the investment process, because the work of attracting investment is an agreement between the two sides and is also regulated by the international community.

Chen Mo also has a major task of meeting with the representatives of the tribe and the ethnic front here, explaining the policy and plan of his investment, in fact, that is, to pay them a little money to buy roads.

For this reason, Chen Mo and the others prepared 500,000 US dollars in cash, and used this money to buy their licenses, so that they would not cause trouble during Chen Mo's investment.

Of course, this is just the beginning, and after the investment is decided, it is time to make a large-scale investment. On the human side, on the aid side, there will be follow-up actions.

At noon, he had a hearty lunch on the boat, and Chen Mo took a nap. At three o'clock in the afternoon, we finally arrived in Cabinda.

Before Chen Mo arrived in Cabinda, he thought that he would see an area like the Shengli Oilfield, where there are more crude oil reserves than the Shengli Oilfield, and the scale should be larger.

But in addition to seeing two wells in the sea. When I arrived in Cabinda, I found that it was no different from the rest of Angola, and the whole city did not have any oil-related industrial facilities.

Chen Mo thought that he had come to the wrong place, and couldn't help but ask, "This is Cabinda?" ”

"Yes, the first time I came here, I couldn't believe that an oil city didn't even have an oil refinery. When the oil is pumped out of the sea, it is transported straight away, and the people here do not receive any benefit. ”

Chen Mo's eyes carefully observed the perimeter of the city. There is not a single oil refining blast furnace found, not even an industrial chimney is seen, and the poor and backward here do not even see the breath of industrialization.

"Where is the Fourth Land-based Plate Located?"

"Also in the northern part of Cabinda, which is out of sight. But even if you see it, you won't recognize it, because it's still a farmland and a forest. ”

Chen Mo and his arrival were warmly welcomed by local officials, and there were at least ten people standing on the pier. Boarding the simple cement dock, Chen Mo was a little dizzy, and his legs were weak, but fortunately Liu Gang was standing next to him. He helped him a little, so that he didn't make a fool of himself.

It had only been a few hours on the boat, and it was a little dizzy, and Chen Mo felt a little incredible. I didn't find out before. No motion sickness, no plane sickness, no seasickness, but dizziness!

made a short introduction at the dock, although everyone was surprised by Chen Mo's youth, but for him, the God of Wealth. The monetization is very enthusiastic. When the car got off the boat, Chen Mo and Cabinda Regional Armed Commander An Lu sat in his Mercedes Benz hand in hand like old friends.

The official meeting lasted for two hours, in fact, everyone knows it, but take a look at the procedure.

All things had actually been determined before Chen Mo appeared. Chen Mo's appearance is just a perfect end to this plan.

After the meeting, the convoy carrying Chen Mo arrived at the only three-star hotel in Cabinda. This hotel is also opened by the Portuguese, although it is claimed to be a three-star hotel, but it is still lacking compared to the domestic express hotels.

But in such a place, you can't ask for extravagant conditions.

Chen Mo took a shower, changed his clothes, and came to Xu Yunteng's room. "Have representatives of the Cabinda National Front and local tribal elders contacted you?"

"Colonel Agu just called, and they will be present at the reception dinner in the evening."

He turned back to Liu Gang and instructed, "Take Quaquaru to see the arrangements of the hotel...... Zhang Jun, you go and check the defensive environment around you. ”

Kwaquaru is Anlu's son and one of the shareholders of Zhong'an Petroleum Company, and as a local snake, he has much easier communication with the hotel.

At seven o'clock in the evening, the banquet officially began, and all walks of life in Cabinda gathered. Chen Mo and Xu Yunteng respectively elaborated on the investment plans of the company and Zhong'an Petroleum Company, and announced the official start of the banquet.

Chen Mo and Xu Yunteng were busy communicating with representatives from all walks of life in Cabinda, and each of the company's two Portuguese translators was very busy.

Liu Gang walked to Chen Mo's side, nodded to the head of education opposite him, and said in Chen Mo's ear: "Colonel Yagu and Elder Wu'an refused Ovani's attendance, they don't know where to find a Chinese to act as an interpreter, and they have special trust in each other. ”

"They are also opposition, and it is understandable that they do not trust Ovani, but in order to avoid problems with communication between the two sides, it is better to use Portuguese as the language of communication."

Liu Gang nodded, turned around and left the hall to communicate with the other party.

Chen Mo looked at the time, and began to communicate with the head of education in Cabinda in front of him, listening to the other party tell about the backwardness of local education facilities, but did not make any promises.

This kind of promise can only be given by Chen Mo when it is determined, otherwise, he will not come to invest, but to do charity.

Dealing with the chief of education in front of him, Chen Mo ushered in the director of the Foreign Relations Department again, and the two of them exchanged feelings and enthusiasm.

When it was almost nine o'clock, Chen Mo took a moment to communicate with Xu Yunteng, and walked into a conference room that had been prepared long ago with the translator.

Inside the room, in addition to Yagu and Wu'an, who were briefly on the road at the reception, there were several of their entourages, and one of them, a strange young Chinese, caught Chen Mo's attention.

At the beginning, Chen Mo thought that the other party was the person he thought in his heart, so he refused the request to use Chinese as the translation language, because he was afraid that there would be only one translator, and there was a misunderstanding in the process of translation, but the two sides did not know it.

Now seeing this young Chinese dressed as a small businessman, Chen Mo knew that he was thinking too much, and it was impossible for such a person to dare to make a ghost on such an occasion.

It is difficult to tell the age of the black man, but Colonel Yagu is about forty years old, and he wears an extremely ugly-yellow uniform. Elder Wu'an looked like he was sixty or seventy years old, dressed in national costumes, not like an elder, but like a wizard.

Since there had been a brief exchange at the meeting, this time the two sides did not need to be verbose and went directly to the topic.

For the small army of the Cabinda Independent Front, Chen Mo did not pay attention to it. Because he knows that this organization will soon be split in the future, and it will no longer be able to act as a-stirring stick.

But at this stage, the civil war has not yet been accepted, and there is still a need for them to exist. Since it still exists, Chen Mo wants to invest in Cabinda at this time, but they still can't get around the level. After all, they don't have the ability to accomplish things, but the ability to do bad things should not be underestimated.

As for Elder Wu'an's side, don't say now, even in the future, they can't get around, Chen Mo wants to invest here, develop oil fields, from recruitment to production, to transportation, they need the support of their local tribes.

The exchanges between the two sides were quite pleasant, and Chen Mo agreed to some of the conditions they put forward that were not excessive. For example, to recruit workers, half of the workers must be from their tribe, and each person must be paid 20 percent more than the locals, and so on.

The problems that can be solved with money are not big problems in Chen Mo's opinion. As long as it doesn't involve politics, Chen Mo doesn't mind reaching a compromise with them.

For example, Yagu wanted Chen Mo to directly support a batch of arms, but Chen Mo refused without hesitation, this is a red line, and he will never touch it.

When Liu Gang handed over the briefcase containing $500,000 to Wu An, the old man's face smiled like a chrysanthemum, and he shook Chen Mo's hand heavily.

(There have been some other things in the past few days, which has led to a bad mentality, and it is a little dry, everyone forgive me.) (To be continued.) )
