Mei Mantar was angry with the local officials early in the morning. When she ran to find Cao Mo, she saw a helicopter slowly rising from the courtyard in front of the main building of the hotel. The rapidly rotating paddles made a whirring sound.
The strong wind blew the surrounding palm trees swaying endlessly.
Where did Cao Mo call in a helicopter so early? Was there some urgent matter that required him to leave Drake immediately?
Although Mei Mantar is not interested in Cao Mo, to be honest, except for a few people such as Stari, most of Cao Mo's subordinates are not interested in rescuing refugees who are descendants of colonists. They mainly follow Cao Mo's orders.
act.
At this time, May Mantar was worried that if Cao Mo left Drake for something, his men would become more careless about disaster relief.
Thinking of this, Mei Mantar jumped out of the car and strode towards the main building of the manor. After passing through the hall, she saw that Cao Mo did not leave by helicopter, but stood in the main building with Stari, squinting.
The helicopter flew further and further away.
Mei Mantar was wondering, no important person came over, and Cao Mo and Stari stayed behind at Drake. What on earth required Cao Mo to urgently call a helicopter?
"Miss Mei, what was the result of your negotiation with the regional officials?" Cao Mo saw Mei Mantar approaching and asked, "How much relief materials has the regional government promised to allocate? By the way, I heard Little Kuski say
, you told the members of the Disaster Relief and Self-Help Committee yesterday afternoon that the Democratic Promotion Front would first try to build a white community in the Usan River. At that time, someone suggested that the Drake Regional Government should take action on the land, properties, factories, etc. expropriated ten years ago.
The property will be compensated as funds for the construction of the white community. You just met with the district officials, so you couldn’t wait to mention this, right?"
Mei Mantar lowered his head in shame.
After the intervention of her father and the national disaster relief and emergency department, regional officials originally promised to allocate some relief supplies. However, when she mentioned that the regional government should compensate the descendants of colonists for expropriating their property ten years ago, the situation suddenly took a turn for the worse.
She was almost coaxed out.
Looking at Mei Mantar's expression, Cao Mo knew that he had basically guessed it right.
Now that a section of road and train track between Drake and Pemé has been washed away by floods, Juan Mantal has no way to rush to Drake. Juan Mantal, as Akwa's new deputy economic minister,
He needed an official or semi-official excuse to arrive at Drake. He couldn't just fly over by helicopter just because he had a private meeting with Cao Mo. Mei Mantar now had more or less "I will be away, and I will not give you your orders."
"The willfulness of.
As Mei Mantar could not even fully obey her father's warnings and instructions, Cao Mo did not expect Mei Mantar to talk to him in advance.
Of course, it is also beneficial to let her hit the wall more often.
Cao Mo thought that it was even necessary to fan the flames even louder so that the idealistic Mei Mantar could appreciate how cruel the real world was.
Of course, we cannot blame May Mantar for being immature and impulsive. How many political parties in the world can become quite mature within two or three years and are not influenced by radical ideological trends?
There are so many so-called "democratic" countries across Africa, but which countries have reliable development ideas?
Within the Democracy Promotion Front, let alone mature politicians, there are not even a few qualified politicians who are cunning and treacherous. How high can Cao Mo put his demands on May Mantar?
Cao Mo could ask Juan Mantar to expel some radicals from the Front for the Promotion of Democracy, but he could not ask Juan Mantar to drive his daughter back to France.
Cao Mo now decided to leave May Mantal there and let her reflect on it first. It would not be too late to discuss anything after Juan Mantal arrives at Drake.
Mei Mantar was frustrated by the district officials and ran over to hear what Cao Mo thought. However, she didn't expect that Cao Mo would not continue after asking such a question. She was not in the mood to stay in the manor to dine.
Return to the relief camp on the east bank of the Usan River before noon...
Although Cao Mo provided basic materials for the construction of disaster relief camps and allocated an additional one million US dollars in disaster relief funds, the average per capita was only thirty or forty US dollars for so many disaster victims, which could barely sustain him for half a month.
What to do next?
Do we continue to allow so many people to inhabit the wilderness like a pack of wild dogs?
The consequences of May Mantar's early exposure of her intention to build a white community soon became apparent.
In the past, descendants of colonists were suppressed in all aspects such as education, employment, and holding public offices. However, after all, they received a higher level of education than the local Akan people, had much stronger labor skills, and were more obedient to management. In the past ten years, they have still been
He was able to find low-paying jobs at Drake's plantations, factories, and commercial enterprises to eke out a living.
Now the descendants of the colonists are not only seeking to build independent communities, but are even trying to recover the land and properties that were expropriated ten years ago. These news spread like they have wings, and Drake quickly made up for it from the towns to the countryside.
Opposition, tense emotions.
Every day, hundreds of descendants of colonists were expelled from their original posts, and there were even local gang members chasing and beating white youths in the streets; soon even the relief supplies heading to the east bank of the Usan River were frequently
Was maliciously intercepted by locals.
Cao Mo no longer provided attentive security services, and Mei Mantar was struggling to ensure that basic relief supplies could be transported smoothly into the camp...

Yan Zhi was thrown out of Dracula like a dead dog
When he entered the prison in the suburbs of Moshan, he looked in disbelief at the fact that the person standing in front of him was Zhou Han, who had disappeared from them for more than three months after taking refuge with Cao Mo.
He struggled to get up, but he didn't know that several ribs had been broken in prison. When he put his hands on the gravel road with a little force, he was in severe pain, which made him afraid to try any bigger movements; what made him even more desperate was that
I don't have any feeling in my legs.
Fortunately, he was able to survive in the chaotic streets of Draculamore in his early years and had rich experience. At least his internal organs were not injured in prison, and he could barely survive.
"Why did Cao Mo rescue me? Did he expect to get anything from me?" Yan Zhi asked in a hoarse voice, breathing heavily like a fan.
Even though he is a dead dog now, he still wants to retain the last bit of dignity.
Yan Zhicheng was arrested in the first wave of the Draculamore police's crackdown on the Steel Fist Brotherhood. He was thrown into prison like a dead dog for more than two months. He was lucky enough to survive. Naturally, he didn't expect to know.
What is happening outside.
However, he never thought that Cao Mo would assign Zhou Han to rescue him from the dark prison. He couldn't help but become confused, why did Cao Mo do this?
The Ghidamu family smuggling fleet was destroyed in the waters of Benin. Who was responsible?
"Cao Mo doesn't expect to get anything from you, he doesn't intend to rescue you, and he doesn't even want to have anything to do with you," Zhou Han said.
"Did you rescue me?" Yan Zhicheng looked at Zhou Han more doubtfully.
"Of course I am not capable of getting you out of prison, but I asked Cao Mo to help me a little bit," Zhou Han frowned slightly and said, "It may sound a bit convoluted, but in fact it is
Cao Mo doesn't want to have anything to do with you, and you just need to remember that I rescued you. Fortunately, those big shots don't think your existence is a threat, and no one is thinking about you, so everything went smoothly.
It’s done.”
"Why did you rescue me?" Yan Zhicheng stared at Zhou Han in confusion. Even though he was lying on the hot gravel road and unable to move, there was still a bit of fierceness in his eyes.
"Don't you think I'm nosy?" Zhou Han asked.
"What about Yan Ming and others?" People need to bow their heads in the face of reality, but Yan Zhicheng still can't forget Yan Ming, who he personally brought to Draculamore to make a living.
Having been living in a foreign land for more than twenty years, and being involved with the Steel Fist Brotherhood, Yan Ming can be said to be the only "relative" he still misses.
"You have already obtained Kanem nationality. No one will care about your life or death. However, after negotiation with the consulate, Yan Ming will either die of illness in prison, or be sent back to China for trial or be sent back to China to serve his sentence after being sentenced. Germany
The judicial agencies in Gulamo have to give a clear explanation, and they cannot just throw it out like a dead dog. Fortunately, I spent a little money to convince those big shots that Yan Ming is no more threatening than you. He is now
After the negotiation process at the consulate is completed, he can be sent back to the country directly. You don’t have to worry about getting an inexplicable disease and dying in prison," Zhou Han said. "If you want to see him, you may have to wait.
The last two or three months..."
"Since those big shots who have devoured the Jidam family all think that I am insignificant and don't care whether I live or die, then what use are my bones in your eyes?" Yan Zhicheng couldn't help but feel sad.
He asked, "If I'm like this, even if I don't die, I'll probably have to sit in a wheelchair for the rest of my life!"
"As long as Uncle Cheng is alive, who in this city dares to say that Uncle Cheng is useless?" Zhou Han narrowed his eyes and asked with a smile, "Now I just care about whether Uncle Cheng will accept my love?"
"I was rescued by you. I don't have to die miserably in prison for no apparent reason. I may live with you for the rest of my life and wait to die. Do you think I can accept your love?" Yan Zhicheng said with a bitter smile.
"As long as you accept my kindness, we can slowly discuss what role you can play..." Zhou Han motioned to Cao Mo to borrow her two bodyguards to push the wheelchair over, and carefully lifted Yan Zhicheng into the wheelchair.
"You invited us here just to show your ability to quietly fish out a half-dead man that no one cares about from the suburban prison of Draculamore?" At this time, a silent man stood beside him.
, the stern-faced middle-aged man asked Zhou Han...
Zhou Han turned to look at the impatient middle-aged man and asked,
"Liang Yuan should tell you that I took away the money. Do you believe him or me now?"
"Why did you seek refuge with Cao Mo?" the middle-aged man asked.
"I am cooperating with you just to deal with the Lu family. You made two orders with the Lu family and want to stop. I don't blame you, and I have no intention to stop you, but I want to stay and deal with the Lu family. I want to stop you."
There shouldn't be any hindrance, right? And Cao Mo is the only springboard for me to stay without being exposed," Zhou Han said, "The thing is so simple, I don't know what Liang Yuan told you?"
"Liang Yuan said that you wanted to take revenge and get rid of Lu Jianchao and Lu Yan with the sword of the Jidamu family. You didn't care about our life and death at all! We thought what he said was very reasonable at the time." The middle-aged man had no emotional color.
said.
Hearing this, Yan Zhicheng looked at Zhou Han in disbelief:
She is not an ordinary overseas Chinese girl that Lu Yan met while studying in the UK, but she has been with Liang Yuan and the others for a long time?
They have been in contact with Lu Yan and other Lu family members from a very early stage, and have participated in Taihua's investment on the south shore of Lake Cornero. All of this was for the purpose of luring the Lu family into the family?
So, if Lu Yan was defrauded of 50 million by using a commercial draft, it was also their fault?
After further analyzing the content of their conversation, Yan Zhicheng came to understand it thoroughly:
The reason why the Jidamu family's smuggling fleet was destroyed in the waters of Benin was actually caused by Cao Mo, but Liang Yuan mistakenly believed that all this was led by Zhou Han for the purpose of urging
The Jidam family attacked Lu Jianchao and Lu Yan who were in Draculamore at the time, so Liang Yuan escaped from Draculamore as soon as possible that day?
This also led to a complete break between Zhou Han, Liang Yuan and the middle-aged man in front of him?
Yan Zhicheng thought that his life experience was enough for him to see through all the tricks in the world. However, Lu Yan was deceived for the first time. Lu Jianchao even suspected him, Yang Deshan and Xie Sipeng. He was very unhappy at the time, but he was completely
I didn’t expect that the organizer would always stay by Lu Yan’s side!
Does Cao Mo know Zhou Han's true face?
Yan Zhicheng was shocked and uncontrollably filled with bitterness. He didn't expect the truth of the matter to be like this.
Zhou Han didn't care what Yan Zhicheng thought in her heart, she just stared at the middle-aged man and asked:
"To be honest, I do have the idea of killing people with a borrowed knife, but do you still think that I can really lead Cao Mo's thoughts and decisions? In fact, Cao Mo can gain a foothold in Kanem because of his own merits. He does not
If you need me to betray you, I have already seen through the secret of United West African Petroleum. It's just that everything has nothing to do with him, and he doesn't like the Lu family, so he has remained silent and watched from the other side. And all this time, Cao Mo has never thought about it.
Whoever I want to kill with a borrowed sword, I can’t even direct Cao Mo to do what I want..."
“After seeing the incident, Cornero Security Company teamed up with the Oyo State Government to ensure that the Chinese in the Taihua Industrial Park were not affected. We were thinking that things were not what Liang Yuan said, but we could no longer find Liang Yuan.
..." the middle-aged man said calmly.
"It doesn't matter. As long as Liang Yuan is still in this world, he will always surface. Then you can go to him to collect debts!" Zhou Han said.
"We will naturally ask for what Liang Yuan owes us, but Western Union Oil's shares were bought with our common real money. Why did you make the decision on your own and sell it to the Oppenheimer family?" asked the middle-aged man.
road.
"Liang Yuan took away all 30 million US dollars. Apart from a pile of debts and evidence of oil smuggling, what else does Western Union have left?" Zhou Han asked with sharp eyes.
"According to our investigation, your adoptive mother's Crown Cement Products Company remitted US$10 million afterwards. This should be the proceeds from the sale of your shares in Western Union Petroleum, right?" the middle-aged man asked.
"You are like a tortoise, hiding here and there for more than two months, but now you are willing to come to Dracula to meet me. So you want to share the money?" Zhou Han said.
"We don't dare to provoke Cao Mo, but since you asked us to come out to meet, we should have the courage to ask clearly," the middle-aged man said, "I think you should give us an explanation before you ask us out.
Come and meet at Draculamore..."
"All the funds were taken away by Liang Yuan. Not only was Western Union Oil unable to survive, but Crown Cement was left with an empty shell that could collapse at any time. I had to borrow a sum of money from Cao Mo for turnover, but this money was not for sale.
"Income from Western Union Petroleum shares," Zhou Han said, "Nitz Oppenheimer and other big figures are trying to carve up the fat of the Jidamu family. During this period, you have also seen what these big guys have done. Do you think they will
Should I pay 10 million US dollars for the shares of Western Union Petroleum? What qualifications do I have to negotiate with them? The shares of Western Union Petroleum are just exchanged for these big shots to relieve the siege of the Taihua Industrial Park. As for the money? You are overthinking..."
"Then what do you mean by asking us to meet at Dracula Moor?" the middle-aged man asked, staring at Zhou Han.
"Haven't you ever wondered why I asked you to come over to meet me?" Zhou Han asked.
"Even if the Lu family has to return to Kanem, how can Yan Zhicheng still gain the trust of the Lu family?" The middle-aged man glanced at Yan Zhicheng in the wheelchair and asked.
At this time, Yan Zhicheng also vaguely guessed Zhou Han's intention to rescue him from prison, but the problem was that he was always a member of the Jidam family. After so many things happened, how could Lu Jianchao trust him?
Zhou Han said calmly: "The Lu family is about to reach a cooperation agreement with Cao Mo. By then, Beku Cement Plant and Xintaihua Grinding Station will be included in the newly established Cornero Cement Group, and Cornero Lake Port,
The New Taihua Refinery and the New Taihua Casino Hotel will be jointly constructed by the Lu family and the Oppenheimer family to continue their operations. When the time comes, the Lu Family believes that people from the Oppenheimer family will be in charge of the New Taihua Casino Hotel.
Or are you here to invite me after hearing that Uncle Cheng escaped from prison by chance?"
"Liang Yuan may see through your plan..." the middle-aged man said.
"What kind of credibility does Liang Yuan have in front of Lu Jianchao? Or does Liang Yuan have the courage to run to see Lu Jianchao?" Zhou Han smiled and said, "Whatever, it's still the same old rules, whatever you can earn is yours.
I won’t take a penny? I think if you make this deal well, as long as you are careful not to be swept away by Liang Yuan again, you should not have to worry about your pension money for the rest of your life."
"You said that Cao Mo doesn't want to have anything to do with Yan Zhicheng, which means he doesn't want to be involved in this matter. He doesn't care about this little money at all. You also said that you can't influence Cao Mo's decision. I
It's very strange, why would he help you rescue Yan Zhicheng from prison this time?" the middle-aged man asked.
"I pay the price a woman can pay, and I can be willful once in a while. What's wrong with that?" Zhou Han stared at the middle-aged man coldly and asked, "Do you have any questions?"
"No doubt," the middle-aged man walked up to Yan Zhicheng, stretched out his hand and said, "Yang Xiaofeng, this is our first meeting. I hope we can have a pleasant cooperation. To be honest, I have been in this industry for twenty years and I never thought of having a hair.
The fat sheep took three bites..."
Yan Zhicheng hesitated for a while, and finally extended his hand.
"Then I wish you a happy cooperation!" Zhou Han handed Yan Zhicheng to Yang Xiaofeng, and she led the people into an unprepossessing off-road vehicle on the side of the road, and walked away, as if she had never been there before...
