After receiving the call, Xie Sipeng quickly rushed to the hotel ahead of Juan Mantal and his party, sat down and said with a smile to Cao Mo,
"Juan Mantal and other high-level officials from the Association for the Promotion of Democracy are coming to visit you in person. You are really like a big boss now, and you have everything under control..."
Not to mention Garon Targaryen, Cao Mo knew very well that Brahm's active and enthusiastic participation in the whole thing this time was due to a very important factor. As a descendant of a colonist, he sympathized with Akwa.
Given the situation that the descendants of the colonists were in at this time, he even had a more positive political vision than Abacha and Ojosan.
Not to mention Garon Targaryen, Bram definitely didn't want to see him show any complacency at this time, purely using the Democracy Promotion Front as a profit-making tool. Cao Mo's flattery to Xie Sipeng was just indifferent.
With a smile, he said to Brahm Gallon in English,
"Win-win and mutual benefit are always the cornerstone for a stronger and more reliable foundation for cooperation - I originally wanted to visit Juan Mantar and other senior leaders of the democratic promotion front today, but considering that there are some problems in the democratic promotion front, even they
Some people internally have doubts about our cooperation, so I can only put up the shelf and wait for them to come to the door. For this reason, when we officially meet, I will also display Dongsheng's sign. Please don't let it slip and expose me.
The cowhide..."
Only then did Xie Sipeng realize that one of Brahm and Gallon could understand Chinese.
Xie Sipeng was also a veteran, and did not show any embarrassment. He simply thought it was a joke, and then seriously participated in discussing the details that Cao Mo should pay attention to when meeting with Juan Mantar and others.
"I have had several contacts with Rupert Jr., Mr. Targaryen, and Juanman Tarr these days. To be honest, I feel that the voices within the Front for the Promotion of Democracy are relatively mixed and the organization is relatively loose. Today
The meeting may not be particularly pleasant..."
Xie Sipeng is now much more honest in front of Cao Mo than before.
Even though he had all kinds of scruples and didn't want to bet out real money in a hurry, he wouldn't hide it from Cao Mo if he had any thoughts in his heart.
He talked about some serious problems currently existing in the Democracy Promotion Front, but he was worried that even though the Democracy Promotion Front was eager to get more funding from Cao Mo, it might not be willing to accept Cao Mo's direct interference in its internal affairs. He hoped that Cao Mo would do a good job.
Mental preparation.
He rushed over early in a hurry, mainly to remind Cao Mo to pay attention to these things.
Cao Mo nodded, indicating that he had realized this a long time ago.
…………
…………
Juan Mantal and his party rushed to the hotel. Cao Mo and Xie Sipeng sat on the floor where they met and did not move. They asked Zhou Han and Xiao Jun to accompany Bram and Gallon downstairs to pick up Juan Mantal and others.
When Juan Mantar and others came upstairs, Cao Mo stood in front of the foyer outside the conference room and said a few words, and then they walked into the hotel's magnificent and spacious conference hall and sat down together.
Juan Mantal, a former professor of economics at the University of Pemé, was arrested by the Saivi authorities and imprisoned for seven years because he resisted the persecution of descendants of colonists by the Saiwei authorities and led the resistance movement at that time.
The Saiwi authorities were only released under pressure from Western society and promised to implement political changes.
He is also the number one core figure of the Democratic Promotion Front.
Juan.
Mantar is over sixty years old. Due to long-term persecution by the Saiwei authorities, his appearance is thin and old, and his physical condition is not very good.
Although Juan Mantar was persecuted by the Sevi authorities, he formed the Front for the Promotion of Democracy after he was released from prison and advocated reconciliation with the Sevi authorities. Therefore, there were voices within the Democratic Promotion Front that believed that his character was too weak.
Although it was their first meeting, Cao Mo could feel the difficulty of trying to maintain a party that was far from mature with such limited resources. It could be seen that he was prepared for the future when he came to visit.
The corresponding benefits were promised in exchange for psychological preparation for further assistance. The mood seemed very calm and at the same time extremely determined.
Juan Mantal is an old man with extremely strong inner strength.
Cao Mo felt a little headache. Brahm, Gallon and others tended to think that Juan Mantal had a weak character in their observations, but in fact there was a big deviation.
Cao Moneng was certain that it was not Brahm and Gallon who lied to him, but was misled by the rumors. At the same time, Juan Mantar's urgent desire for external assistance caused them to misjudge.
May Mantal, who helped Juan Manta into the conference room, was his youngest daughter, and Cao Mo also had information about her.
Mei Yi, who is only in her mid-twenties this year, has fair skin, dark brown shawl hair, a slender and straight figure, deep and delicate eyebrows, and a pair of gold-rimmed glasses. She indeed has an indescribable intellectual beauty.
.
While Juan Mantarian was in prison, May and his family went into exile in France. During their exile, they completed their studies in France and later worked in a French media. They have been running to rescue their father from prison and seek assistance from Western society.
, he is already a well-known social activist and journalist in Europe at a young age.
In comparison, the performance of Juan Mantal's two sons was quite average. After Juan Mantal was released from prison, only May returned to Akva and worked as his assistant.
When they met for the first time, Cao Mo saw Mei Mantar's cold look and knew that she was dissatisfied and resistant to him.
Of course, May Mantal's background of studying and working in France naturally makes her inclined to seek assistance from Western society and has a skeptical attitude towards Chinese investors.
Cao Mo guessed that when she went out, she had a dispute with her father, Juan Mantal, about whether to seek further assistance from them.
She is like this now, and she has not yet calmed down emotionally. In addition, when she sees her arrogant attitude again, she feels even more dissatisfied, right?
The other three people who accompanied Juan Mantal through the conference room listened to Bram's introduction, and Cao Mo quickly connected with the collected information.
They are all important members of the Democracy Promotion Front. Whether it is Brahm's previous contact with them or their true thoughts at this time, Cao Mo is convinced that they all support Juan Mantar's promise of corresponding benefits in the future.
He came here in exchange for further assistance.
Obviously, apart from the daughter who is the main assistant and the successor, the other three people accompanying this trip were carefully selected by Juan Mantal. The purpose is to hope that this trip will have good results and avoid anyone jumping during the negotiation.
Come out and sing the opposite tune.
Another core figure of the Front for the Promotion of Democracy, Andrea Hané, who has more radical ideas and advocates a political break with the Sevi authorities, did not appear.
However, this was not what Cao Mo wanted.
Time is too limited, and changes can happen at any time. He hopes that the internal problems and contradictions of the Democratic Promotion Front can be directly exposed in today's meeting, and then he forces Juan.
Mantal made his choice, and he even had the confidence to convince Andrea Hane to compromise with them.
He absolutely did not want to be delayed by Juan Mantal, who was cunning and experienced in fighting, using various excuses.
Cao Mo pondered for a moment, secretly feeling that the response strategy he had discussed with Xie Sipeng, Brahm, and Gallon in advance was no longer useful and needed to be adjusted in time.
"For a Chinese like me, Africa is a very mysterious continent, full of opportunities, but also full of dangers, and we have to deal with it with caution," Cao Mo said straight to the point after everyone sat down, "So no matter what I do,
In Kanem and Akwa, they usually deliberately ignore their status as investors and emphasize that they are only small representatives of Dongsheng Group, so as not to attract unnecessary attention - Brahm, Gallon and Mann
Mr. Tarr, when you contacted me, my identity may not have been formally introduced..."
Zhou Han, Bram, and Xie Sipeng all looked at Cao Mo in surprise. Just now, Cao Mo had specifically emphasized that he wanted to bring Dong Sheng's name out. Unexpectedly, he had suddenly changed his mind, and his posture was even worse than what he had just said.
Lower it a lot.
Cao Mo didn't mention his background, which was not worth mentioning before coming to Africa. He just talked about his industrial investment in Lonta and Dracula Mo in the past few years.
The investments in Oguta Gold Mine, Ibogu Gold Mine, Cornero Cement Plant, Cornero Energy, Cornero Food, Cornero Lake Industrial Park, Gulf of Guinea Shipping Company and other investments together look like Dongsheng, Tai
It cannot be compared with China, but in the African continent, especially in the eyes of Juan Mantar, who regards Garon Targaryen as a business legend, it can be said to be a giant.
Garon Targaryen and Brahm were both present, and they could not help but suspect that Cao Mo was lying.
"Mr. Xie has paid attention to Akwa for a long time, especially in the coal and iron fields. There are good investment opportunities. He and I have always been business partners, so I also confirmed the investment in Akwa very early.
Direction. Before we formally set foot in Akwa, we noticed that the Democratic Promotion Front, as a political party representing the interests of the descendants of Akwa colonists, has quite a few members in Akwa's ports, gold mines, coal, iron, oil and other minerals.
They all once held very important positions in energy extraction. Even during the Saiwei regime, they were all persecuted and expelled from their previous positions, but I believe that as Akwa’s political changes approach, this
The situation will be corrected soon - this is why I entrusted Brahm and Gallon to actively cooperate with Mr. Mantal and you..."
Of course Cao Mo would not admit it. From the beginning, he came here with an eye on the changes that would break out at any time in Akwa. However, judging from the reactions of Juan Mantal and his entourage, it was obvious that they had already decided that he had arranged for Brahm.
Garon's motivation for contacting the Democracy Promotion Front was what he explained. Isn't that what they were feeling in their hearts?
Cao Mo continued: "Of course, according to my past personality, it is enough to leave the troubles to Bram and Gallon, whom I trust. I am not good at it, and I don't like to show off. But, this
The situation was quite urgent, so I had to invite you, Mr. Mantal, to meet here in the name of discussing cooperation..."
Zhou Han looked at Cao Mo with even more confusion. Are he ready to directly reveal the truth about Uvbonya's attempt to launch a military coup?
Didn’t you try to avoid jumping into the trap too early?
Isn't it afraid that the Democratic Promotion Front's internal organizational relationships are loose and there are endless disputes over the handling of extremely sensitive issues with unpredictable consequences, so the news will be leaked in advance?
