Even though he didn't want to go directly to Han Shaorong, who didn't trust him, to expose Dong Chengpeng's problem, Liang Yuan still wanted to clarify the matter with Guo Jian, and looked into Guo Jian's eyes and asked.
"Ah..." Guo Jian looked at Liang Yuan with some confusion. For a moment, he didn't know what he meant by asking. Seeing that he looked like he should understand, he subconsciously nodded along with Liang Yuan's meaning and said, "
I don’t like him! I don’t think Mr. Han should trust him so much..."
Guo Jian and Dong Chengpeng have no friendship.
Even if he didn't feel awkward and uncomfortable being replaced by Dong Chengpeng at this time, whenever he thought that Dong Chengpeng would take power in Draculamore, he would be suppressed immediately, and it was impossible for him to have a good impression of Dong Chengpeng.
And in Draculamore, except for Liang Yuan, he was isolated and helpless.
If he hadn't thought that Liang Yuan would not offend Han Shaorong at this time, he would have wanted to leave Huamao and directly follow Liang Yuan to bring him down. No matter how bad Liang Yuan was, he personally held 22% of the shares of Xihai Steel, and he was also in Dracula Moor.
He is not a small person that anyone can look down upon.
Liang Yuan did not expect that Guo Jian said this not only out of resentment, but also following his words. He really thought that Guo Jian really understood it.
You can't blame him for thinking wrongly.
Cao Mo obtained the actual control of the refinery and Xingang plant through Fulkov's investment, and Sturgeon's collusion with it was also revealed to the world. Not only were Huang Hebin and his team not immediately adjusted, even Huang Hebin himself was extremely calm.
I don't see any panic. Isn't this enough to show that there is something wrong with Dong Chengpeng, who first suggested the appointment of Huang Hebin?
Liang Yuan had close contact with Guo Jian and knew that he was not a fool. He thought that it was enough to speak to the point, and said: "You should pay attention to Dong Chengpeng more in the future, but don't do anything to scare the snake. The Catero Steel Plant can operate successfully."
, I won’t treat you badly…”
"..." Listening to Liang Yuan's words to win over, Guo Jian thought that Han Shaorong's arrangement made him extremely dissatisfied. He nodded excitedly and said, "If there is any trouble here at Dong Chengpeng, I will keep an eye on it for Mr. Liang!"

"...Do you believe Ryan Fortis's nonsense, or do you believe the twenty million dollars in real money? Yes, I chose to cooperate with Cao Mo in the end, but that's what I realized after the shooting incident, even if I choose
Give in, the ruthless Ryan Fortis will never let me go. I believe he must have told you in detail that there are fatal loopholes in the financial structure of Fulkov Investment. Do you think he will let me go? Of course.
"If you believe his lies, I can't help it. You can always ask your father to revoke my qualification to serve at Bank Atlantic on behalf of the Foster Family Foundation..."
Sturgeon hung up the phone, a little helpless and a little proud, and spread her hands towards Cao Mo, Abacha and the others, and said,
"Family affairs are really troublesome!"
Cao Mo, Abacha, and Bram laughed, and the suspicious Awenna calmed herself down by asking Sturgeon to say a few words.
If the equity relationship between Tianyue Investment and Fulkov Investment is not completely straightened out, and their financial structure is not completely stabilized, the subsequent development of Fulkov Petrochemical Group and Cornero New Port City will be seriously affected.
For the refining and chemical business of Fulkov Petrochemical Group, if the procurement of raw materials and reserves cannot be borrowed from letters of credit, commercial bills and other instruments, it will directly occupy a large amount of precious working capital. However, not many financial institutions will be willing to deal with a company whose back is blurred.
, cooperate with enterprises with major flaws in their financial structure unless they pay high additional costs.
However, this level of equity relationship was exposed to the world, which gave Leth Fortis enough reason to convince the senior executives of the Savvy family and the Evans Foundation to believe that they were behind the scenes such as Tellero and a series of other incidents.
Black hand.
Of course, after weighing the pros and cons, they decided to make the partnership public.
In addition to the Furkov Petrochemical Group and the Conero New Port City, which need to be further developed and formally integrated with the Conero Lake Industrial Park and the Lake Bay Processing Industrial Park, the financial tool of Atlantic Bank also needs to be formally used.
Atlantic Bank is also the only financial instrument currently at their disposal.
Sturgeon and Awennafei's talk to stabilize her also hopes that the Felician family, the Sika family, the Blake family, the Tubman family, and the Rupert family will invest in the Foster Family Fund.
When it comes to acquiring a small stake in Bank of Atlantic, Avina will not step out and disrupt the situation after being seduced by Ryan Fortis.
Obviously, no matter how powerful Ryan Fortis's mouth is, it is not as convincing as Sturgeon's direct offer of $20 million to Avena.
Seeing that Sturgeon had finished answering the phone, Brahm returned to the topic and said:
"The Evans Foundation holds Deutsche Telekom's debt of US$1.2 billion and has stated that it will not interfere with Deutsche Telekom's operations. However, before serving as the senior vice president of Deutsche Telekom, Emuraeh served as Dracula Moor of the Evans Foundation.
The deputy manager of the office - now he is also strongly opposed to opening a dedicated line for Ne Win’s cement production fund!”
West Africa United Cement Group was merged and reorganized. The most critical thing is to integrate the assets and resources of the two companies.
Based on the inheritance of the Newin Cement Factory in the early years, the Stanning family developed into the largest cement giant in West Africa. Its annual production capacity of 6 million tons and nearly 4 million tons were concentrated in Newin in the middle and lower reaches of the Ogun River.
The cement import ban was too ugly and offended too many people. Especially at that time, cement importers in the Gulf of Guinea were concentrated in Draculamo. As a result, West African Cement's subsequent investment in the construction of self-contained thermal power plants was hampered and hindered.
For a long time, the Nevin Cement Base has endured high-priced electricity supply. On the other hand, even though it spent its own money to upgrade the transmission line between Nevin and the main network of Taculamo City, power outages are still frequent.
occurs, seriously affecting the continuity of production and yield rate.
[Mimi Reading]()
Now that the two cement groups have merged, the first thing Cao Mo and the others considered was for Cornero Energy to directly supply power to the Nevin Cement Base. However, apart from the long-term agreement signed between the Nevin Cement Base and Draculamo Electric Power
In addition to the need to terminate the power supply agreement in advance, it also involves the fact that the transmission network from Taculamore to Ne Win is the asset of Taculamore Power Group.
At present, Draculamore City is still short of electricity. Draculamore Electric Power has been lifted.
Not only will there be no losses in the power supply agreement for the Ne Win Cement Base, but the West African United Cement Group can even receive a compensation and long-term line rental fees.
However, Draculamo Electric's senior vice president, Emulah, firmly opposed it, and the reason was very good. The expansion rate of Cornero Energy was too terrifying. It was no longer a threat at the beginning, and it was just relying on Deutsche Electric to make a small fortune.
So cute.
Emuraeh's words moved many senior executives of Draculamore Power.
Therefore, although Brahm's father was mediating on their side, and although Draculamo Power Group also held a small stake in Cornero Energy, the matter has been delayed for nearly a month with no progress.
"In my opinion, regardless of whether Deutsche Telekom agrees or not, Cornero Energy will directly start the construction of a medium-sized thermal power plant in Ne Win. The US$100 million required to build the power plant can be paid by United Cement first," Ah.
Bacha said, "Deutsche Telekom's power grid franchise in Ne Win and the south will expire in the last three years. We will simply take down all the power grids in Ne Win and the south, and then build the power grid in Katlo.
Build a transmission grid between Ne Win and Ne Win..."
Abacha has become much more pragmatic in recent years, but as a Yoruba, he is not born with particularly good patience, nor can he have a deeper understanding of the importance of hiding one's strength and biding one's time.
He was now angry that the senior executives of Dracula Motor Power didn't know how to appreciate them, and wanted to retaliate.
The Stanning family still has absolute control over the Nevin area, just like the positions of the Sika and Felician families in Lonta.
Abacha feels that Cornero Energy can directly take over Ne Win’s power grid franchise and surround the power grid currently controlled by Draculamo Power Group from the north, east and south.
Cao Mo smiled and shook his head, and said to Brahm: "We can make a formal commitment. Regardless of whether the franchise rights have expired, Cornero Energy will not intervene in Deutsche Electric's existing transmission area. This is also true."
This is not a condition that will be involved in our cooperation negotiations - if you do more work, if Deutsche Telekom insists on not retreating, then we will consider immediately building a self-owned power plant in Ne Win; if Deutsche Telekom is willing to lease lines to us, then forget it
…”
The situation of the Draculamore Power Group is relatively complicated. Even if it cannot be completely brought over, it must not be pushed to the Evans Foundation; let alone Brahm's father cannot be allowed to work in the Draculamore Power Group.
Isolated internally.
After the merger and establishment of the West African United Cement Group, it did not even take measures to limit or reduce production. The building materials market along the Gulf of Guinea has been affected by this news. The price of finished cement has risen in response, returning to more than one hundred US dollars per ton.
.
In the short term, Cao Mo may even regard the Ne Win production base as an adjuster of total production capacity.
In the current extremely sluggish market situation, just by appropriately reducing the production scale of Ne Win, the price of finished cement along the Gulf of Guinea coast can easily be raised to US$120 per ton, making the combined West African Union
The cement group's total profit easily reached the threshold of US$400 million.
This is the power of merger and monopoly formation, and it is also the first-level goal of the merger between the two companies - power plants and dedicated transmission lines are not necessary in the early stage. This level of goal is not difficult to achieve, so why should we be aggressive?
Of course, investment and construction of dedicated lines and self-contained thermal power plants at the Nevin production base still need to be invested (Draculamo has the power grid franchise in the Nevin area, but it cannot prevent large and medium-sized enterprises from building self-contained power plants), even if they are along the Gulf of Guinea
Some new cement plants will also be built one after another.
The purpose of doing this, in addition to penetrating into the building materials market in Southwest Africa and Northwest Africa on both wings in the later stage, is also mainly to form a more dangerous and widened moat in the early stage to prevent new cement manufacturer competitors from entering this market.
In this process, we strive to get the West African United Cement Group listed on Draculamo, but it would be better if it could be listed on any European stock market.
At present, Cornero Energy is mainly engaged in the construction of cross-border power grids and the construction of a large-scale thermal power generation base in Benin. It should try its best to avoid pushing the Draculamo Electric Power Group into the opposite direction.

…………
Dong Chengpeng arrived at Draculamore on the first Sunday in December.
Although Dong Sheng’s previous investments in Cornero Food and Tianyue Industry were led by Dong Chengpeng, his understanding of the African market came from written reports.
The cold wave was raging in Xinhai in December and in London where the flight was transiting. However, after arriving at Draculamore, I stepped out of the plane and looked at the landing site paved with fine sand. The heat wave hit my face. Dong Chengpeng's chubby body and the close-up
The fatigue caused by the thirty-hour flight change made him feel dizzy for a while, and it took him a while to regain his breath.
"Mr. Dong..."
After Dong Chengpeng passed away, Guo Jian was demoted from office manager to vice president. He felt indescribably uncomfortable, but he still controlled his inner emotions and rushed to the airport with Huang Lingli, who had always been unresponsive, to greet Dong Chengpeng.
Seeing Dong Chengpeng walking into the airport reception hall, in order to show that he didn't care about his demotion, Guo Jian walked over enthusiastically, held Dong Chengpeng's hand, and said politely,
"Is Draculamore International Airport still shabby? This is still a newly built airport hall. When I arrived at Draculamore in 2002, the airport building was like a township grain depot. I felt quite cold when I got off the plane.
"
In his heart, Dong Chengpeng looked down on Guo Jian, a slave with the third surname, but he also betrayed Dongsheng and took refuge with Han Shaorong. He was not qualified to say anything about Guo Jian. More importantly, he needed help before he became familiar with Draculamore's personnel.
Go to Guo Jian.
Of course, Dong Chengpeng was opposed to Dracula in his heart.
He used to be in Dongsheng, where he was responsible for such a large-scale industrial investment fund. There were no special projects. Basically, he just made decisions and so many people looked at him.
After joining Huamao, he was sent to Draculamore. Not only the conditions were difficult, but the scale of investment he was responsible for was hardly comparable to that of Hexi Industrial Fund.
What's more important is that when he came to Draculamore, he actually didn't have much decision-making power. He was more focused on supervising existing investments.
Dong Chengpeng still wanted to do a good job here and be transferred back to China, so he did not have to suppress Guo Jian's thoughts. He also said to Guo Jian very politely at the moment:
"Yeah, it's a little different from what I imagined, but it's still bearable."
Although Huang Lingli looked disgusted, seeing Dong Chengpeng's tired face, Guo Jian still said considerately: "I thought Mr. Dong had just arrived in Degu
Rama, you must be very tired. The time this afternoon is also very limited. We will not arrange a formal reception. Mr. Dong, you will stay at the Lana Del Rey Hotel today. The private beach of the hotel is very charming. I believe you will have a lot of energy.
You can recover soon; we will make arrangements for the formal work tomorrow... Mr. Dong, what do you think of this arrangement?"
"No, let's go to Xincheng Port for a walk while there is still time in the afternoon. Mr. Han is very concerned about the situation here. I always want to get a preliminary understanding first and have a phone call with Mr. Han in the evening," Dong Chengpeng said, "Can you help me?"
Have I made an appointment with Huang Hebin?"
"I made an appointment for tomorrow. Of course, it's no problem to call and change the time now. Huang Hebin usually doesn't leave Xingang City..." Guo Jian said hesitantly.
In order to avoid panic or other thoughts among management members, Huang Hebin has recently publicly become very close to Cao Mo and Sturgeon. Although this does not mean that Huang Hebin had any problems in the first place, it is more likely to be a pragmatic choice to face the current reality.
, but Huamao was still piled there in embarrassment.
Guo Jian was afraid of being scolded, so he didn't dare to report the matter directly to Han Shaorong. He wanted to wait until Dong Chengpeng came over.
"Okay, let's go directly to Xingang City!" Dong Chengpeng cheered up and said, "Don't arrange any hotel for me. I will just stay in the staff dormitory tonight. There are more people and it will be more lively. What's the point of staying in a hotel alone?"
"...Okay!" Guo Jian naturally followed Dong Chengpeng's arrangement. After walking to the parking lot and getting in the car, he called Huang Hebin directly.
Dong Chengpeng came on behalf of Huamao. Of course Huang Hebin would not refuse to meet, but he said that things were busy in the afternoon and he happened to have something to discuss with Dong Chengpeng, so he asked Guo Jian to take Dong Chengpeng directly to the Petrochemical Group to meet.
…………
…………
West Bund District is lined with high-rise buildings on both sides of Central Street, and many high-end hotels have been built one after another. However, behind the high-rise buildings are slums with sewage flowing across them, usually extending for several kilometers, forming a sharp contrast.
From Draculamo Port to the northwest along the newly built coastal avenue, the buildings become sparse and the visual impact is not so strong until a modern petroleum refining plant stands in front of you; the Fulkov International Building is in front of you.
It also looks particularly abrupt in a large group of low-rise buildings.
In order to express his welcome, Huang Hebin only took two vice presidents to welcome Dong Chengpeng and others under the group office building. He took a self-owned vehicle in the factory and drove around the main equipment area to introduce the trial production situation to Dong Chengpeng on the spot.
After that, go directly back to the office building.
"You said you happen to have something to discuss with me?" Dong Chengpeng sat down in the small conference room and asked.
"I met Cao Mo yesterday. Even if it's an informal notification, I think Tianyue may push forward this matter soon. Since Huamao has replaced the president as the director representative, I need to inform you in time," Huang Hebin said
, "The trial production situation is relatively good, but the annual refining capacity here is less than one million tons, which is far from filling the gap in fuel and chemical raw materials in the Gulf of Guinea - Cao Mo means that Fulkov Petrochemical Group is now
We need to start building a refining base with an annual output of one million tons in Cotonou, Benin. The total investment is about US$400 million. According to the proportion, Huamao should invest an additional US$60 million..."
"..." Dong Chengpeng opened his mouth and asked after a long while, "On the south bank of Lake Cornero, a large amount of vacant land has been reserved for the subsequent construction of the Petroleum Group. Even if it is to expand production capacity, it will also make better use of the built public facilities.
Facilities, saving investment scale, for convenience and not to mention better management by a mature operation team, why should the next phase of the project be built directly in Benin instead of the nearer? Is it possible that there is a big gap in the Gulf of Guinea market? Canem
The gap has already been filled, or is it more troublesome to transport refined fuel and chemical raw materials from the Port of Draculamo than from the Port of Cotonou?”
"Cao Mo's original words are that eggs cannot be put in one basket. I think this is very reasonable." Huang Hebin said.
"Those are Tianyue's eggs too!" Seeing Huang Hebin's unabashed favoritism, Guo Jian said with anxiety on his forehead, veins exposed, "Huamao also has 25% of the shares in Xingang City - even if it is to promote the development of Xingang City,
There is no reason for the Petrochemical Group’s follow-up projects to be moved elsewhere, unless the market for Kanem is already saturated!”
"I'm just conveying Cao Mo's message. If you have any opinions, you can raise them with Cao Mo in person..." Huang Hebin said calmly.
"..." Dong Chengpeng took a breath, finally figuring out Huang Hebin's position.
His mothers are all domestic slaves with three surnames!
They didn't know what Cao Mo had in mind. He wanted to start the construction of a new refinery so soon, and it was going to be built in Benin. But after losing its controlling stake and losing its checks and balances, Huamao's options to fight against Cao Mo were very limited.
.
It took four years for the Fulkov Petrochemical Group to be built with great difficulty. Now the trial production situation is very good, and the profit expectations are also very optimistic. Han Shaorong will now be willing to ask the major shareholders to repurchase the 15% held by Huamao with capital investment and a little pitiful interest.
% of the shares?
If they do not resell their shares to major shareholders and do not inject additional capital, they can only watch their shares in the petrochemical group being diluted at a low price.
And if additional capital is injected, Cao Mo has been using this method to delay the profit cycle of Furkov Petrochemical Group indefinitely. Huamao is actually completely handing over the initiative and playing a dangerous snowball game of production capacity.
game.
Once the situation turns bad, Huamao's investments in Africa will suffer heavy losses.
"By the way, Xingang City previously undertook the construction of electric heating stations, sewage treatment plants and other public facilities, but these public facilities currently mainly support the operation of the refinery. Cao Mo proposed that Fulkov Petrochemical should acquire these public facilities in the future.
It is only reasonable to carry out subsequent expansion and provide corresponding services to other enterprises in Newport City. This will probably require a total of US$100 million in funds——"
If it was just a guess that Cao Mo intended to delay the profit forecast of Fulkov Petrochemical Group indefinitely, now it can be said to be a fact...
Although Huamao also holds 25% of the shares of Newport City, and its shareholding ratio is even higher than that of Fulkov Petrochemical Group, Newport City is basically a dispensable and useless project.
If Cao Mo proposes investors to inject additional capital into Xingang stocks, Huamao can completely use his veto power, or ask other investors who voted in favor to acquire the shares held by Huamao...
