Zhou Han followed Cao Mo and Xie Enpeng downstairs and saw Xiao Jun and several tall men of mixed European and African descent standing in the lobby waiting.
Among these people, Zhou Han recognized Bram, the youngest son of the Rupert family. As a descendant of colonists, Bram's appearance was closer to that of European and American whites, with a tall stature and deep facial features.
After Abacha came forward to unite Felician, Blake, Oppenheimer, Rupert and other four major families to form the Sika Aidate Power Grid Company, Brahm has been representing the Rupert family as the power grid company. Directors, have close relations with Abacha, Cao Mo and others; and Sika Aidet Power Grid and Cornero Energy are upstream and downstream companies whose business relationships are so closely related that they are inseparable.
In the United Sika family, the Oppenheimer family participated in the formation of Sanchez and Blue Star Leasing Company, and Brahm was the leader.
Even though the Jidam family and the Lu family previously focused on Abacha, Ochosan and Shen Ji, Bram also plays a very important role.
As soon as Shen Ji left, Bram appeared in Peimei Port. A spark seemed to burst out in Zhou Han's mind. At this moment, he already guessed what Cao Mo's plan was.
Sometimes it doesn't mean that you know any secrets or have any resources at hand, you will definitely be able to profit from a complicated situation. The key is to have a suitable entry point or starting point.
For example, the Lu family already knows that Ufo Bonya is plotting to launch a military government, and the Lu family can mobilize millions or even tens of millions of dollars at any time to support Ufo Bonya in exchange for future support in Akwa. interests, but it is impossible for Lu Yan to go directly to Uvbonya and say: "Brother, you want to stage a coup, our Lu family supports you!"
If the Lu family wants to intervene in the situation where a storm is about to break out in Akwa, or even want to directly participate in inducing the storm, they need a suitable entry point and starting point; otherwise, why would they turn around and look for Xie Sipeng?
Similarly, if Cao Mo wants to realize his ambition amidst the changes that may occur at any time in Akwa, he also needs a suitable entry point and starting point.
Zhou Han understood:
The Brahm in front of him was his entry point and starting point.
When everyone entered the restaurant, Bram first introduced several mixed-race men who were accompanying them.
No matter what positions these people held at this time, Zhou Han discovered that they and Brahm had one thing in common, that is, they were all descendants of colonists.
This further confirmed her suspicion.
Although both Kanem and Akwa were once British colonies, after they got rid of colonial rule, a large number of descendants of the colonists stayed for various reasons and did not move to settle in the mother country. However, in the past few days, Zhou Han helped Cao Mo combed through the information in this area and realized that the situation of the descendants of colonists in the two countries was still different.
As early as the 1950s and 1960s, with the rise of anti-colonialism on the African continent, descendants of colonizers throughout Africa were politically suppressed by the mainstream ethnic groups that constituted the absolute majority of the local population.
However, in Kanem, several military governments came to power in coups, and there were shadows of Western forces behind the scenes. European and American consortiums have always directly penetrated into Kanem's economic lifeline, controlling Kanem's most important businesses from all angles. Crude oil extraction and export.
Therefore, even during the period of military rule, the descendants of the colonists still maintained great influence in the economic field of Kanem.
And when you get to Kanem
After the military government ended its rule and entered the era of democratically elected governments, Oppenheimer, Rupert and others rose rapidly politically, and even tended to regain control of the economy.
The situation in Akwa is different.
The early military government of Akwa had a relatively mild attitude towards the descendants of the colonists. However, after a radical ethnic military officer group led by Saiwei came to power in a coup, it politically severed its relationship with Western society, expelled European and American companies, and Energy and mineral development were nationalized, and they spared no effort to suppress the descendants of colonists at home.
After the independence of Akwa, even though the hundreds of thousands of descendants of colonists who still settled on this land were naturally close to the British and French colonial powers in terms of blood and culture, their influence had almost completely disappeared from the political and economic fields of Akwa. were completely eliminated.
The forces of European and American conglomerates are ruthless and realistic. In recent years, in order to open the door to Akwa, they have mainly sought cooperation and support from figures close to the West among the Akan people, who account for the absolute majority of Akwa's population.
In other words, although the descendants of colonists are one of the groups most eager for political change in Akwa, they have always been among the forgotten and abandoned.
Therefore, in the wave of political changes that were surging in Akwa at this time, the descendants of the colonists had almost no decent voice.
For Cao Mo, who is not very powerful, "I abandon those who take, and take those who abandon" is the only choice - and if he joins the mainstream forces currently promoting political change in Akwa, he can rely on his Why compete with the extremely powerful European and American conglomerates that have penetrated Akwa for many years?
Are people grateful just because he tipped off the news?
We take what people give up, and even with only a limited investment, we can gain the greatest gratitude from those abandoned and forgotten groups.
The direction and target are locked, and the most critical question is how to intervene.
Why should the descendants of the colonists in Akwa accept Cao Mo's funding and support and give generous rewards at the right time? How can they build enough trust with each other?
At this time, the importance of Brahm's core grasp can be reflected.
After Sevi came to power, the government adopted a high-pressure stance against the descendants of the colonists. If the descendants of the colonists in Akwa wanted to move to the UK at that time, most of them no longer met the conditions.
However, after the late 1990s, the political and economic atmosphere in West African countries such as Benin and Kanem became more relaxed for the descendants of colonizers. At the same time, Akwa belonged to the Economic Community of West Africa, so a large number of descendants of colonizers came from Akwa. Come out and find work or settle down in Benin and Canem.
These descendants of the colonists who came to Benin from Akwa to Kanem to find work and settle down had the most contact with the descendants of the colonists in Kanem, and were even directly adopted by them.
Regardless of its operating conditions, Draculamo Electric Power Group is a behemoth in the Kanem economic field. It is also a company that relies on Western consortiums and is mainly operated and managed by descendants of colonists. There are hundreds of thousands of people from Akwa. Descendants of the settled colonists work in Deli or affiliated or related enterprises.
Cao Mo wanted to use Brahm as a key grasp to extend his tentacles to the hundreds of thousands of descendants of the colonists in Akwa who were most eager for political change!
Of course, Zhou Han will not forget the Tubman family, who are also descendants of colonists, and the Tubman family is more closely integrated with Cao Mo, or in other words, more dependent on Cao Mo.
Zhou Han finally understood that Cao Mo or Shen Ji was Cao Mo's father from the beginning.
After figuring out the general direction they wanted to take, they spent the past few days combing through various materials. It was just a matter of repeated deliberation and figuring out the details that could be implemented in this direction.
"Why, have you figured it out now?"
Cao Mo put his hand on the back of the chair where Zhou Han was sitting, leaned his head towards it and laughed softly,
"My current goals are the same as yours, but in order to prevent Liang Yuan from developing unnecessary ambitions at this juncture, when you inform him, it is best not to go into too much detail and just say that my next step is to establish a shipping company The company is fine - of course, if you are not afraid of Liang Yuan doubting his intentions for staying with you, you can speak more powerfully about me in front of him, so powerful that you will have already seen through your true colors!"
Zhou Han turned his head to look at Cao Mo, shook his head and swept the silky hair to Cao Mo's face, and asked in a low voice: "The Starry and Tubman families should be the more critical part of your entire plan, right?" , why didn’t I see her come to Akwa - such a beautiful beauty, she should be completely obedient to you by now, right?"
"I've been putting the answer in front of you for several days. It's really cute how you are so stubborn and unwilling to admit defeat." Cao Mo said with a smile.
Zhou Han rolled his eyes at Cao Mo.
"Garon Targaryen is the founder of the Guinea Shipping Company. If we rebuild a new shipping company, the procedures will be very complicated. Tianyue plans to unite Sika, Felician, Rupert and Oppenheimer The family jointly acquires Guinea Shipping Company, while Mr. Targaryen will stay on as CEO,"
Cao Mo stopped flirting with Zhou Han and said seriously to Xie Sipeng,
"If you and Guo Hongliang are willing to participate, your ship assets can be merged to expand the scale of the shipping company together; or it is also possible for Guinea Shipping Company to acquire the ship in your hand alone..."
Cao Mo then calmly introduced some information about Guinea Shipping Company to Xie Sipeng.
The scale of the Guinea Shipping Company is actually very limited. It mainly relies on the Taculamo Electric Power Group and transports the coal required for thermal power generation for the Taculamo Electric Power Group between the Bayelsa coal-producing area and the Taculamo Port.
Although it is short-sea transportation, after the mainstream coal ships between the Port of Draculamo and the Bayelsa coal-producing area have been upgraded to 30,000 to 50,000 tons, Guinea Shipping Company still has only a few 5,000 tons ships in hand. The benefits of coal ships can be imagined. In recent years, it can be said that the debt has been high and it is difficult to continue to maintain it.
Garon Targaryen has always wanted to take over the short-distance cement transportation business from the Cornero Cement Factory through the Rupert family's connections. Cao Mo has also had several contacts with him.
However, Guinea Shipping Company’s current small and medium-sized bulk vessels are capable of transporting bagged cement and do not have the ability to purchase or modify special bulk cement transport ships. Business cooperation has never been concluded.
After Cao Mo and Shen Ji made clear the general direction of intervening in the Akwa situation, Abacha directly roped in Brahm in Draculamore, found Garon Targaryen, and proposed to acquire the Guinea Shipping Company. Require.
The Guinea Shipping Company is too small. It has been operating poorly in recent years and has owed huge debts. It is already insolvent. Garon Targaryen, who is in his early forties, is also mentally and physically haggard.
Now that the company is sold, although he himself will not be able to get much money, he can relieve all the debt pressure on him. He himself can still stay in the position of CEO of Guinea Shipping Company, receive a high salary and retain a small amount of money.
Shares are undoubtedly an option he cannot refuse...
