After staying in Draculamore to work for a long time, Huang Hebin came into contact with local people who were cruel like Baha Jidam and greedy like Nitz Oppenheimer. Some of the employees recruited from the local area were lazy and stupid.
Yes, there are some who are clever and clever, but generally speaking, they are far less scheming than the Chinese.
Huang Hebin didn't expect that Sturgeon had already guessed that he had been in contact with Cao Mo, but he could still keep no trace of it?
And he didn't realize it at all before. Didn't Sturgeon deceive him?
Although Huang Hebin was shocked, he also smiled calmly, as if Sturgeon was telling a funny joke. However, Sturgeon looked at him laughing silently, her expression unwavering, and Huang Hebin's smile became a bit embarrassed.
"Cao Mo did you say how to deal with little Savvy?" Sturgeon waited for Huang Hebin to put away his frivolous and embarrassed smile before continuing to ask, "I will be useless if I leave the Foster family. He insists on pulling me away."
What's the point of boarding a pirate ship? In Chinese, it should be called a 'thief ship', right?
"Mr. Foster's Chinese is already very authentic. Although I can return to Draculamore, it is natural to win Cao Mo's support in advance, but the internal affairs of Tianyue and how Cao Mo wants to deal with it are indeed not
What I can interfere with and what I know is very limited." Huang Hebin didn't know what the relationship between him and Tianyue was, and he deliberately kept his words vague.
"You said 'coping', not 'dealing with'," Sturgeon said eloquently, "So, do you also think that Cao Mo is very passive when facing this situation?"
Huang Hebin had a severe headache. Sturgeon had always shown a silent and clumsy image to others. Although he was wary of believing that these were illusions, he did not expect that Sturgeon would be so fierce without fear of showing off her edge!
Huang Hebin pondered for a moment and said: "From my perspective, the Saiwei family is not easy to deal with, but I will not forget that whether it is the Jidamu family or Taihua, their strength has been unstoppable.
One life, and the former Cao Mo looked so vulnerable when he stood in front of them - but what was the result? So, the words I said in my mouth, whether it was 'deal with' or 'deal with',
It has no real meaning. I don’t know what plans Cao Mo has or whether they have any plans. I don’t want to cause unnecessary trouble to you, Mr. Foskin.”
Sturgeon pondered for a while and nodded, then said: "Although I had guessed that you would be able to return to Kanem with the support of Cao Mo, I do believe that Cao Mo would not just sit back and watch the south bank of Lake Cornero turn into
I kept silent because of the mess, so I also trust you - but I hope you can trust Ca Jinshan and Dikar more in the future..."
After Huang Hebin returned to Draculamore, he recruited local middle and senior managers with expertise in refining process production, safety and fire protection and other related fields, and had many years of work and management experience to strengthen the management team - some of these people were recruited through
Among the headhunters, some came to apply for jobs on their own initiative after posting job advertisements. Ka Jinshan and Dikal were the two more prominent ones. Unexpectedly, Sturgeon specially arranged to come in.
Of course, if Sturgeon had guessed that he was involved with Cao Mo, it would be normal for him to have such an arrangement. In the final analysis, Sturgeon just wanted to use his hands to complete the renewal of the refinery and supporting projects, and then use it later.
With the power to control a large shareholding, he reorganized the management, kicked him out, and replaced him with Ka Jinshan. Dekar actually took charge of the Volkov Petrochemical Group for him.
Before the refinery and supporting projects are finally completed, he and the former Taihua team will still be valuable, and Sturgeon will remain silent on all this.
This was Sturgeon's wishful thinking, but the breakthrough not only disrupted Cao Mo's plan, but Sturgeon was also caught off guard.
Huang Hebin felt his throat was a little sore and said, "I will do my duty and not betray your trust, Mr. Foster, but I think Mr. Foster should have a frank talk with Cao Mo."
Sturgeon remained noncommittal.
Seeing that Sturgeon did not respond, Huang Hebin waited in silence for a few seconds, then stood up and left Sturgeon's extremely simple office.
After taking the car back to his office inside the refinery, Huang Hebin took out his mobile phone, entered the communication phone number Cao Mo left for him, and dialed: "I got your support to return to Draculamore, Sturgeon."
I have already guessed this in my heart. He just wants to promote the renewal of the refinery as soon as possible for the time being. When I came back from you, he pointed out this point directly. I hope that if there is anything, it would be more appropriate for you to talk to him directly...

"..."
Cheng Xi saw Cao Mo answer the phone and stare thoughtfully at the blue lake water under the wooden plank. She quietly sat down next to his shoulder and stretched out her smooth feet into the cool lake water.
"There are not other smart people in this world! The Anglo-Saxons were able to colonize the world and establish an empire on which the sun never sets. They only had two skills!" Cao Mo and Xie Sipeng, who had just returned from Akwa in the evening, laughed.
The Anglo-Saxons first came from the Germanic peoples in the southern part of the Danish Peninsula and adjacent areas, and formed the main body of the invasion of Britain with the Saxons; after the eighth century, the Anglo-Saxons occupied an absolute advantage in today's England, making England's nation, language, and culture
They were all completely Angloized - before and after the Industrial Revolution, the Anglo-Saxons spread throughout Africa, Australia, America and other places with the British colonial expansion.
Today, the United States has many allies in Western society, but among them, the United Kingdom, Australia, New Zealand, and Canada are the most hostile to the United States. The main reason is that the majority of social classes in these countries are English-speaking Anglo-Saxons.
Although there are conflicts of interest between these five countries from time to time, when it comes to the overall interests of the Anglo-Saxons, they often unite - these five countries have formed a "Five Eyes Alliance" organization that is not particularly famous now, so that the five countries can unite.
The two countries cooperate closely in the field of communication monitoring, communicate with each other, and speak with the same voice.
Countries such as Kanem and Akwa were once colonies of the Anglo-Saxons. Theoretically, most of the descendants of the colonists in these countries also have Anglo-Saxon blood, but when it comes to the pure Anglo-Saxon blood they know and are familiar with,
A Saxon, that would be Sturgeon.
"What's going on with Sturgeon?" Xie Sipeng asked.
"I support Huang Hebin's return to Draculamore, but Sturgeon has already guessed this, and has even started to install his own people in Huang Hebin's newly formed team, but Huang Hebin is also an old fox, but
I didn't realize it at all - don't you think this Anglo-Saxon is not simple?" Cao Mo said to Xie Sipeng with a smile.
Because Huang Hebin was not aware of it at all, and Cao Mo did not think in this direction during this brief contact with Sturgeon. Therefore, no matter how terrifying his intuition was, he only knew that Sturgeon was extremely obsessive and could not distinguish the details.
Sometimes acting purely on intuition can have loopholes.
Of course, Cao Mo didn't have any sinister intentions in Huang Hebin's return to Draculamore. Even if Han Shaorong was aware of this, he had nothing to be embarrassed about - he initially hid himself in this matter,
They just don't want the three companies to argue with each other and add unnecessary resistance to Huang Hebin's return to Draculamore, so as to promote the reconstruction of many projects in the South Bank as soon as possible.
"Anglo-Saxon?" Xie Sipeng saw that Cao Mo used "Anglo-Saxon" to refer to Sturgeon twice, and realized that Cao Mo should not just make fun of him.
"..." Cao Mo nodded.
Xie Sipeng guessed what Cao Mo was thinking or hesitating about, and couldn't help but also fell into deep thought.
Seeing Cheng Xi staring at the lake distractedly, Cao Mo realized that he and Xie Sipeng had stayed in this land long enough and had a tacit understanding in many places, so he only needed to emphasize the concept of "Anglo-Saxon", and Xie Sipeng, who was experienced enough, could guess
It seems that he is hesitating, but this is a riddle that is difficult to figure out for Cheng Xi.
"Just like the Chinese people all over the world have a certain degree of identity with each other, the Anglo-Saxons have the same species and have a considerable degree of identity around the world - in theory, West African countries such as Kanem and Akwa,
As former colonies of the Anglo-Saxons, whether it is Abacha, Bram, Nsange, or Mayi Mantar whom we met yesterday, as descendants of the colonists, they all have Anglo-Saxon blood in their bodies.
, even in terms of appearance, it is difficult to tell how different they are from Western European whites. However, the Anglo-Saxons are relatively tolerant of mixed blood with other races, but are extra strict with mixed blood with African Americans.
Harsh. This is related to the early black slavery in the United States and the one drop of blood principle. So far, it can be said that it is a law that is deeply rooted in American society and is not included in federal law. The 'one drop of blood' principle, in layman's terms, means 'even if your body
If there is a drop of black blood in it, you are black'. Therefore, Abacha, Brahm, Nsange and others, as well as Juan Mantar and his daughter, as descendants of colonists, were actually severely excluded
Outside the Anglo-Saxon community, in Kanem and Akwa, although the economic, cultural and even social ruling classes and the minds of ordinary citizens cannot escape the influence of hundreds of years of colonial rule,
This also shows that the anti-colonial trend in this land is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people - Juan Mantar, as the chairman of the Akwa Democratic Promotion Front, has close cooperation with us, but at this time he became cautious and acted like a rat.
Duan, why am I not angry at all? Because I know the root cause is here. And how we should deal with the current situation can also be said to be a starting point, but everything has pros and cons. I haven’t considered it yet.
It’s clear, so I have a bit of a headache…”
Cheng Xi has recently been working very hard to understand the humanistic history of Africa and the social, political, ethnic and cultural characteristics here, so Cao Mo said these in an outline, and she could understand it, but she also felt that in Africa
I was shocked by the complexity and dangers of running a business.
Cheng Xi leaned on Cao Mo's shoulder, put Cao Mo's arm in his arms, and said with emotion: "It's still simple in China. When running a business, you only need to consider the market."
"Akwa country has only 30 million people, not much more than Xinhai City, but its total economic volume is only one-tenth of Xinhai City. Therefore, in this country, the output value or development potential of any company reaches the level of one billion US dollars.
, must be involved in national politics," Cao Mo said, "In China, where are the billion-dollar companies, and how can they reach the level of national politics? However, Jiaying and the others really want to make investments.
, the deeper and more comprehensive the understanding of the complexity of this world, the better..."
Cao Mo looked at the yacht parked on the lake not far from the plank road. Jiaying took Lily, who came from Catero in the afternoon, as well as Yu Jing, Wu Ruifang, Cheng Xin and the others, happily playing diving, and said with a smile: "
Let them have fun for two days first, and then arrange classes for them. I have already made an appointment with the teacher of the political culture class for them——"
"Jiaying must 'hate' you so much!" Cheng Xi laughed.
"I really thought that when I came here, I could live and eat for free, and then ask me to pay for the air tickets!" Cao Mo said with a smile.
Jiaying, Wu Ruifang and Cheng Xin are all talented in investing and have considerable knowledge reserves in related professions.
After experiencing the "setbacks" in the period from 2008 to mid-2009, they learned from the painful experience. In this round of economic stimulus rebound due to dual shifts in fiscal and monetary policies, their operations can be said to be quite perfect.
They basically entered from the lowest point, but when the Shanghai Composite Index rebounded to 3,500 points at the end of June, they decisively withdrew. They didn’t even want to worry about the subsequent long-tail market. They simply took a big vacation, and this time in Africa
trip.
In addition to locking up the Dongsheng Group's shareholding, Cao Mo also took an additional 100 million in funds, as well as his own funds, plus investments from other channels. The 200 million in funds finally raised by Muxiang Capital finally increased in value
It ended up with 560 million yuan - after deducting the principal returned to customers and income, Muxiang's own capital income plus the income from external financial management services, the total amount is as high as 80 million yuan. At present, he is preparing to apply for the formal establishment of a private equity fund.
Qualifications.
Such success is actually due to a lot of chance.
Cao Mo understood this very well.
During the rapid development of Tianyue, in the eyes of others, every step he took was considered perfect, but Cao Mo himself was always worried about his lack of control.
The Tianyue industrial market has not yet opened up, and the production system has only begun to take shape. However, he has invested so much in the development of complete vehicle technology. In the final analysis, Cao Mo is just looking for a stronger support point for Tianyue, and also for himself to control Tianyue.
Yue is looking for a stronger support point.
If Muxiang Capital really wants to enter the field of private equity funds, it will also face the dilemma of insufficient control.
Cao Mo didn't want to undermine the confidence of Jiaying and the others, nor did he want to sit back and watch them grow through new setbacks, but it did not prevent him from taking advantage of the situation to give them the opportunity to come into contact with the more complex side of the world.
There are some detours that you don’t have to take.
Just like Shen Ji, who grew up with a golden key in his mouth and took a senior management position in Dongsheng just two or three years after returning from studying abroad. He has never experienced any setbacks from beginning to end. Isn't he a qualified business manager?
"Come on, let's get on the yacht. We should meet our old friends and have a good talk. Since we are all smart people, there is no need to make things too complicated." Cao Mo stood up and asked Ade to inform him.
The yacht returned to the small dock to pick them up, and as dusk approached, they rushed to the south shore of Lake Cornero to have a real talk with Sturgeon.
…………
…………
Cornero is basically connected to the Atlantic Ocean outside, but the sea outside is a deeper blue, while the lake water inside is almost a sapphire blue, with intermittent, gray-brown reefs and embankments at the dividing line.
There are some wild coconut trees and palm trees scattered among them.
"If it weren't for the rampant pirates in the Gulf of Guinea and the lack of respect for the military and police of Kanem, building some buildings of different styles on those reefs would be a place with great scenery." From the small pier of the oil refinery, we will
Sturgeon picked up the yacht, and Cao Mo sailed the yacht to the boundary between the lake and the sea. He stood on the top deck of the yacht, enjoying the cool breeze, looking at the sea and lake on both sides under the dusk, and couldn't help but sigh.
"You asked me to meet alone so soon. Have you found a way to solve the current problem? Or maybe you have found a strong enough collaborator this time when you returned to Kanem, so you have no worries at all?"
Kim asked.
"If there is a way, I don't have to go out to sea with you behind your back so late at night?" Cao Mo said with a smile, "To use an old Chinese saying, I am in the dark now. I can't even see Awenna in Foster."
It’s not clear whether there are any involvement with other chaebol forces outside the family, so how can I be confident that I have found a solution to the problem?”
"I haven't seen any definite benefits, so how can I help you with advice and tell you the information about Awenna in vain?" Sturgeon shook his head and smiled, seeming to be laughing at Cao Mo's naive thoughts or expectations.
"Awenna may not be smart enough. As long as you are humble and obedient enough, she may be willing to let you go, and she may even believe that there is a brotherhood between you and her that is thicker than water, but I think Awen
Na's search for little Savvy and the bloody drama that happened within the Fords family should be much more complicated than it seems, right? In such a short period of time, the information I can obtain is very limited, but I am sure
Some things are bound to happen, just like the moment you step onto the deck, I can be sure that I am your only helping hand..."
Sturgeon stared at Cao Mo for a long time, then sighed quietly and said: "My mother fell in love with a new person a year ago, and this time it was extra exciting. She did not hesitate to give up her luxurious life, but also
I have to live with a new lover - this man named Asenmo, who is one year younger than me. He has an extremely perfect resume, but he is so perfect that I can tell at a glance that he is just a sweet bait. Unfortunately, I know this
At that time, there was not enough time to convince my mother to return to her lost ways before this family scandal became public - of course, even if I found enough clues, it is very likely that I would not be able to convince a stupid and crazy middle-aged woman to return to her lost ways.
——”
Cheng Xi opened his eyes wide and saw that Sturgeon's calm tone seemed to be talking about a woman who had nothing to do with him.
Sturgeon didn't care about Cheng Xi's curious and confused eyes and continued:
"... In addition to a short marriage in France, Awenna has had three lovers. The latest lover's name is Ryan Fortis. This person is from the British Fortis family. When he was studying in the United States, he and
Badinay Jr. Savvy is a classmate. For many years, he has been working in the Fortis Ore Trading Company owned by the Fortis family, and was ultimately responsible for the operation of the company. The Fortis family is the same as the Fotis family that you acquired before.
Like True Mining Company, it was quite brilliant in West Africa in its early years, but it has long since declined. Apart from some inconsequential investments, this company, which mainly engages in ore trading between the UK and the Gulf of Guinea, is very unknown.
Even if this company has developed in the hands of Ryan Fortis, that's all. Maybe if I don't mention it, you may not have heard of this company before. Fortis Mining and Trading Company, has business with Atlantic Bank
It should be after having business dealings with Atlantic Bank that Ryan Fortis went out of his way to approach Awenna and become her lover. A year ago, Ryan Fortis persuaded the family to transfer Fortis Mining to
The trading company was sold to the Evans Foundation, and he joined the Evans Foundation at the same time. When it comes to your understanding of the Evans Foundation, I believe you are not much lower than me..."
