Even though Drake is located in the narrow tropical rainforest of the Gulf of Guinea, the rainfall decreases significantly between November and May of the following year.
No one expected that the heavy rain that started in the early morning and lasted until noon in the Drake area would cause such huge floods to pour into low-lying areas.
May Mantal had accompanied her father to the white ghetto of Drake for condolences many times and was familiar with everything here. She felt very sad when she saw that the entire low-lying area where the ghetto was located was submerged in the turbid floods and was in a mess.
Not comfortable.
So far, more than 200 corpses have been pulled ashore, many of which are skinny and severely malnourished children.
Nowadays, the mainstream media in the West are occupied by the left. For the sake of political correctness, they are unwilling to report on the miserable life of descendants of colonizers in sub-Saharan Africa. Therefore, very few people outside these areas will believe that white people
In today's mainstream world, there are still white children who are hungry.
When May Mantar rushed to Drake, she first talked to local officials about disaster relief, but was ignored. She was so angry that her heart and lungs almost exploded. At this moment, she stood at the disaster site, but her heart was filled with desolation.
Without the support of the local government, the supplies she urgently transported were a drop in the bucket when tens of thousands of shacks were washed away. Everyone believed that as the daughter of Juan Mantal, she must have a solution to the problem.
Countless people gathered around her, but she was unable to do anything.
Although Stari said that Cao Mo said that he would provide as much support as possible, Mei Mantar didn't have any expectations in her heart.
Although with Cao Mo's funding and support, the Democracy Promotion Front assisted the Sewi authorities in thwarting Ufo Boniya's coup attempt at a critical moment, and its political status in Akwa was greatly improved, however, Mey.
Mantar knew very well that all Cao Mo did was to serve his own interests.
Even after Uvboniya's coup attempt was foiled and the Democratic Promotion Front was able to enter the civilian government of the Saiwei authorities, Cao Mo couldn't wait to cash in on his business interests.
In May Mantar's eyes, Cao Mo is a profit-seeking person. How much money and materials can he really spend to help the refugees affected by the disaster?
In her view, the Chinese have always believed that the descendants of colonists deserved what they suffered on this land, and that they were paying debts for hundreds of years of colonial invasion of this land.
When she arrived at the scene, she saw Stari, Xiao Jun and others directing their efforts to assist the victims to evacuate to higher ground. However, the camp in the exploration operation area was still heavily guarded and the victims were not allowed to enter at will.
She obeyed her father's instructions and reluctantly went to see Cao Mo, but she ran out after saying a few perfunctory words.
She looked at everything in front of her with worry and discomfort.
At this time, two off-road vehicles were swaying towards this side, and Xie Sipeng jumped out of the first off-road vehicle. This was another Chinese businessman who was only interested in profit.
Xie Sipeng stood on the side of the muddy road for a while and looked at the flooded riverside. Of course, he didn't have much sympathy. Xu Ling, who accompanied Xie Sipeng in the escort car, even thought that Cao Mo was simply meddling in other people's business, but he
At this time, I had realized that the status gap between myself and Cao Mo was too big, and I had disdainful opinions in my heart, but I would no longer speak out as ignorantly as before.
Seeing Xiao Jun, Stari and Mei Mantar standing here, Xie Sipeng came over and asked, "Where is Cao Mo?"
"In the camp, I will lead you over, Mr. Xie..." Xiao Jun said.
"You guys go ahead, I'll go find him myself," Xie Sipeng said, "Ah, by the way, I contacted the merchants in Mangba. There were only less than 2,000 tents and 30 diesel generators in total. I organized 10
Two trucks are loading urgently. The road from Mangba is too bad. If we can get there within three hours, it will be fast. Doctors are urgently needed here. I brought two doctors and some medicines and rushed here first. You guys watch.
Let’s arrange it…”
Xie Sipeng pointed to the two off-road vehicles behind him. The people he brought were unloading several boxes of medicines and were waiting for arrangements to be made.
"That's great..." Xiao Jun said. Seeing that Mei Mantar, who couldn't understand Chinese, was confused, he explained to her in English that Drake was still not the largest coal and iron ore production base in Akwa.
In Mangba, they had sold out a dozen or so generators before. Other places in Drake were also seriously affected by flooding, and other supplies were in short supply.
They are now setting up temporary resettlement areas to relieve the victims. In addition to tents and food, generators, water purification equipment, etc. are all indispensable.
As May and the others rushed to Drake, unfortunately behind them, a section of the road and the adjacent railway tracks were washed away by the flood.
With Akwa's efficiency, they didn't know when this washed-out road would be repaired. They couldn't purchase much supplies from Drake, so they urgently called Xie Sipeng in Mangba to organize manpower and vehicles.
Mangba purchased relief supplies and shipped them over.
The purchase of disaster relief supplies was also organized in the Kruno area.
"..." Mei Yi opened her lips, but she didn't expect that Cao Mo's generosity this time was far beyond her imagination.
She was still mentally resistant to Cao Mo, but the matter involved the specific resettlement and relief of the victims, so she couldn't help but flinch, and she followed Xie Sipeng and Xu Ling to the camp to meet Cao Mo.
It wasn't completely dark at this time.
Before dark, electrical engineers pulled out a temporary lighting line along each of the two sidewalks, powered by two sets of diesel generators, to provide the most basic lighting for the temporary settlement sites on the west and south sides of the exploration operation area.
In this way, we can continue to organize relief and resettlement after dark, and there is no need for so many disaster-stricken victims to flee to the towns in a hurry.
However, the coverage of the temporary lighting lines is very limited, and most of the temporary settlements are shrouded in the increasingly dense twilight, with shadowy figures everywhere.
Seeing Xie Sipeng, Xu Ling and Mei Yi were walking towards the camp. Cao Mo came over, smiled and patted Xie Sipeng on the shoulder and said, "It's such a bad weather and the roads are so bad. It's really hard work for Lao Xie to come here to help."
"This little bit of hard work is nothing, but it makes me feel happy to think that one day we can become the saviors of these white people." Xie Sipeng knew that Mei Yi couldn't understand Chinese, so he joked with Cao Mo without any taboo.
Of course, when it comes to some of the secrets of the security company in Benin, Xie Sipeng has no chance to directly participate in thwarting Ufo Bonya's coup attempt, but his relationship with the Front for the Promotion of Democracy has also been heating up rapidly in the past two months.
Xie Sipeng is currently focusing on placer gold mining in the Mangba area, which also faces great uncertainty. He also holds the remaining 700 yuan after selling the ore ship to the Gulf of Guinea Shipping Company and repaying the loan.
Thousands of dollars in funding.
He wanted to seize a better development opportunity in Akwa, which also made him attach great importance to his relationship with the Democratic Promotion Front, which was rapidly rising in status.
Therefore, in addition to Cao Mo's invitation, Xie Sipeng himself was also very happy to make this trip.
Besides, Cao Mo has clearly stated that all the funds for purchasing disaster relief materials will be borne by him. Xie Sipeng can just help run errands and gain favor in front of the Democracy Promotion Front. Is there anything he can't do?
Mei Yi couldn't understand Chinese and couldn't understand Cao Mo and Xie Sipeng's chatting and laughing. She tried her best to remain patient and stood aside to wait for them to exchange greetings.
"We profit-seeking businessmen do not have Miss May's sense of justice, but Miss May's sense of justice cannot solve the problem..." Seeing that May Mantal's attitude has changed before and after, she must have known that there are indeed supplies coming from
Mangba organized a shipment, and Cao Mo couldn't help but stab her.
Mei Yi's face felt slightly hot, but she still knew that it was important to help the victims. She turned her pretty face away, and for the rare moment, she did not retort.
"Miss Mei Yi, let's go in and talk!" Cao Mo said.
Xie Sipeng saw the hospital tent and asked Xu Ling to go over and help; he could think that Cao Mo did these things with great fanfare, and it was probably not purely humanitarian.
After the heavy rain stopped, the weather quickly became hot.
At this time, there were only two fans blowing in the tent, but the air was still sticky and muggy.
Zhou Han, who was taking the two financial officers of the exploration company to collect supplies, his T-shirts were soaked with sweat, and his smooth forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat. He looked up and saw Cao Mo and Xie Sipeng walking in accompanied by Mei Yi, who had already clearly purchased the goods.
, handed May Mantar a list of supplies that could arrive one after another before tomorrow morning, and said:
"Where did Miss Mei run away just now? She was looking for you. All these supplies were shipped here tonight. Miss Mei, please think about how to arrange them..."
Mei Mantar glanced at Cao Mo doubtfully.
Cao Mo said: "I talked to Mr. Mantar on the phone, and I will try my best to provide necessary supplies. However, as profit-seeking businessmen, it is better for us to interfere as little as possible in the internal affairs of the Democratic Promotion Front and Akwa...
"
Although Cao Mo's words had a strong meaning of ridicule, Mei Yi thought so in her heart. Even if she felt unhappy after hearing this, she could not retort.
Of course, she still couldn't help but wonder what Cao Mo's intentions were, so she wouldn't believe that he was really a pure humanitarian.
Cao Mo glanced at Mei Yi's beautiful eyes. Although they were clear and charming, the look of distrust and vigilance revealed really made people want to push her to the ground. Even the loose overalls could not hide her perturbation.
Give her a few "slaps" on her lower buttocks.
"Drake, in addition to the rock gold deposits underground in the northwest hills, we also made discoveries in the exploration area we stationed here," Cao Mo said, pulling over a folding chair and letting the tall Mei Yi sit down.
Based on some remaining materials from the Akwa National Petroleum and Mining Group, and sorting out the original exploration wells, we initially determined that the copper-gold mine on the east bank of the Usan River may be equivalent to more than 200,000 tons of metal..."
"Hey, what you discovered this time is quite impressive!" Xie Sipeng couldn't help but say with envy as he sat aside.
The commodity market is most obviously reflected in the fluctuations in the spot and futures prices of metal copper.
The copper commodity market started in May 1999. At that time, the price of copper dropped to the lowest point of more than 1,300 US dollars per ton. It surged all the way to the highest level of 8,800 US dollars per ton in May of last year. After that, it experienced the first
During the wave adjustment, the copper price fell to around US$5,300 per ton at this time.
Even though commodity analysts generally believe that copper prices, like gold, will most likely usher in another wave of C-wave adjustments, China and the BRIC countries have strong support for commodity demand, and no one believes that copper prices will eventually fall below
tons of four thousand dollars.
A copper-gold mine equivalent to 200,000 metal tons has a theoretical total output value of up to 800 million U.S. dollars. In today's copper ore mining industry that frequently invests hundreds of millions or even billions of U.S. dollars, it can really only be regarded as a medium-sized copper-gold mine.
However, the sharp rise in copper prices has brought huge profit margins to copper and gold mining. Even for a medium-sized copper and gold mine, the profit is very considerable.
What's more, in addition to refining refined copper, copper-gold mines can also bring greater profit margins by producing gold, silver and other by-products.
After hearing Cao Mo sit down and explain the commodity prices, Mei Yi couldn't help but interrupt him and said: "Although I study journalism, Mr. Cao, don't forget that my father is an economist after all...
"
"It's good that you know this, Miss Mei. Then you must also know, Miss Mei, how much restrictions Akwa's current laws have on foreign capital, and what are the current main means to circumvent these restrictions,"
Cao Mo resisted the urge to complain and said patiently,
“We cannot wait until Akwa completely relaxes restrictions on foreign capital before developing this copper-gold mine, but we also see that even if we cooperate with local companies to form a joint mining company, it will be legally unavoidable.
There will be some remaining issues, which may be exploited by people with malicious intentions, so that in the end we cannot ensure that our rights and interests in this copper and gold mine are not infringed... So we need to cooperate more closely at Drake. This is exactly the same as your father
I want to be consistent with the white social system being implemented. I just had a phone call with your father to talk about our ideas in general, and I want to talk to you more specifically..."
"..." Mei tucked a strand of messy hair behind her ears and pretended to be listening.
The rift between the descendants of the colonists and the main Akwa ethnic group is a deep scar left by hundreds of years of colonial rule. It cannot be completely eliminated by simply advocating ethnic reconciliation.
And Juan Mantal is also clearly aware that the descendants of the colonists are at an absolute disadvantage in Akwa in all aspects and will never be able to return to their previous status as rulers of this land. He is now thinking about how the descendants of the colonists will be able to survive in Akwa.
This land can survive better and change the tragic scene of oppression and even persecution by the dominant ethnic group in the past ten years.
At present, after the Western mainstream media is occupied by the left, it pays more attention to the issue of equal rights for people of color. The Western financial groups have the same moral character as Cao Mo and others, and pay more attention to the gains and losses of interests. Juan Mantar does not have much confidence in Western society.
expectations, on which he and his daughter May Mantar have different views. His main strategy is to hold high the banner of ethnic reconciliation on the one hand, and to fight with the Sawi authorities on the other to speed up the construction of white communities through self-reliance.

On Cao Mo's side, it was "a common man is not guilty, but he is guilty of having a jade".
Cao Mo didn't want to alert the snake now, so he sealed up Amududi's research. For the time being, he only mined copper on a small scale in the porphyry layer contact area on the east bank of the Wusang River based on the research and field exploration results of the original Stru Gold Mining Company.
gold mine.
However, even so, the theoretical output value of a medium-sized copper-gold mine and the deep rock gold placer mine northwest of Drake is more than one billion US dollars, which is definitely not a small figure.
At that time, in addition to wanting to thwart Uve Bonya's coup plot, it was most beneficial to choose the Democratic Promotion Front to cooperate. Tianyue's technological accumulation in mineral mining and other aspects was still very weak, and it had no industrial base in the country, so it was unable to recruit domestic products at any time.
After deploying hundreds of mid- to high-level technical and managerial personnel to carry out the work, Cao Mo still conducted in-depth cooperation with the Democracy Promotion Front in order to select and employ sufficient technical and managerial talents from the descendants of the colonists.
All these will prompt them to form deeper ties with the Democratic Promotion Front in Akwa.
However, the situation of the descendants of the colonists in Akwa is still so passive and disadvantaged.
At this time, Cao Mo needed to consider what he would do if someone who coveted the Delei copper and gold mine secretly incited ethnic hatred on a small scale, or colluded with local indigenous forces to come over and usurp the rights and interests of the copper and gold mine.
In fact, Cao Mo urgently needed to build a white community on the east bank of the Wusang River.
Of course, even though the Saiwei authorities have loosened their policies and allowed the pilot construction of three or five white communities, it is not easy to implement them.
The descendants of the colonists once occupied a large number of plantations and manors in Akwa, but most of them were expropriated. Where did the land for white society construction be allocated, and where did the huge funds come from?
The white community that Juan Mantal wants to promote includes, in addition to physical facilities, a system of community self-government.
The follow-up construction of the white community involves extremely complex links, and the funds used are extremely huge. Cao Mo is currently unable to bear all of them for free. The specific details need to be slowly discussed, studied, and developed with Juan Mantal, and new ideas will be developed.
But he just had a phone call with Juan Mantal, and he made it clear that he would select people from the descendants of the colonists affected by the disaster to form a self-help committee for disaster relief as a preparation for the community self-government system.
It is impossible for Juan Mantar to focus mainly on the construction of a white community. As the head of a foreign company, Cao Mo can only promote and fund the whole thing. As a representative of the Democracy Promotion Front, the whole thing will naturally fall to him.
on May's head.
When Mei came to Drake, she didn't even have a satellite phone. When she arrived on the east bank of the Wusang River, she couldn't contact Peimei. She didn't know that Cao Mo had already discussed this with her father.
When Cao Mo saw Mei Yi's cold little face, he couldn't help but feel the urge to sneer, but he still handed her a satellite phone and said: "You should contact Mr. Mantal first. You'd better contact her immediately."
Organize a temporary self-help committee so that when the supplies arrive on site, I can directly transfer them to you for arrangement..."
…………
…………
May Mantal traveled to and from Drake many times. As Juan Mantal's daughter and assistant, she also had a high reputation in the eyes of the descendants of the colonists on the east bank of the Usan River; and this trip was with her.
The two assistants who came to Drake were members of the Democracy Promotion Front who came from Drake.
May Mantal spoke to her father on the phone and confirmed that after emergency consultations within the top management of the Association for the Promotion of Democracy, they decided to set up a temporary office in Drake to lead the self-help committee. They borrowed tents in the camp and transferred local liaisons
At this time, activists who had actually stepped forward to organize rescue and self-rescue work convened and quickly discussed a temporary list of disaster relief and self-help committees.
Juan Mantal insisted on getting Cao Mo's approval first. May Mantal was reluctant, but she also knew very well that not to mention the subsequent construction of white communities, even the current disaster relief and self-help work could be carried out.
, are inseparable from the financial and material support from Cao Mo.
The camp was very simple, and I didn't feel anything during the day. When it got dark, mosquitoes like fighter jets emerged from every corner, and they stared at people like Cao Mo and others with delicate skin and tender flesh. No matter how much mosquito repellent was applied, it didn't work.
Being in a sweltering tent, wearing jeans, boots, a T-shirt and a thin jacket, he didn't dare to take off any of them. Naturally, it was uncomfortable. But before May Mantar organized the Disaster Relief and Self-Help Committee to take over, Cao Mo still had to
As Xiao Jun continues to resettle victims of the disaster, he cannot stay in a comfortable and spacious hotel now.
When Cao Mo first built the Yibogu gold mine, the conditions were not much better than now. He and Stali didn't think anything of it. After learning that there was a copper-gold mine on the east bank of the Wusang River, Xiao Jun rushed over as soon as possible.
Meeting up with Kabuga, it took them a while to get used to it, but it was Zhou Han and Xie Sipeng who were miserable.
Zhou Han has a very strong character, and he grits his teeth and refuses to talk about his hardships.
Xie Sipeng was wondering if Drake could get involved, so naturally he insisted on staying with Cao Mo.
May Mantar brought over the list of the proposed disaster relief and self-help committee, and Cao Mo glanced at it roughly.
He didn't recognize any of the candidates on the list, and he couldn't see their names. Cao Mo directly added two candidates with a pen and said to May Mantal: "Just say this is your father Mantal.
I believe no one will object to what you mean, sir."
"Who is Albert Bill?" Mei took the list and asked doubtfully, "In addition, many people know that Kuski is your bodyguard. He is not even from Akwa. Why do you have to
He is included in the self-help committee for disaster relief? Is there something about us that makes us unworthy of your trust?"
"Albert Bill is the eldest son of a geological engineer we hired from Drake. Although he is a little younger, you may not have noticed that he helped us evacuate some victims to the exploration operation area camp in the afternoon.
He is very capable and I trust him," Cao Mo said. "In addition, except for Miss Mei, not many people know that Little Kuski is my bodyguard, so you don't need to make a noise all over the world.
My grandfather is an Akwa of British origin, and he did not move to Kanem until his father was born. If necessary, little Kuski can join Akwa at any time..."
