After two days of discussions at the Oguta Manor with no conclusion, Cao Mo rushed to Catero to meet with Blake, Ochosan and others. They were not too optimistic about whether Africa could have a female leader.
In mid-April, Cao Mo took the opportunity of attending an international ecological protection forum meeting to meet and have an in-depth talk with Roima Sero.
Roima Sello is over sixty years old, but she is very energetic.
Although she has gained a foothold in the current Akwa political arena by leveraging the power and influence of left-leaning social organizations in Europe and the United States, she still has a clear understanding of Akwa's current situation and its relationship with European and American society.
Roima Cerro's political views are very similar to Juan Mantal's, and she is even slightly inferior to Juan Mantal in terms of personal ability and charisma. However, as a descendant of colonists, Juan Mantal
It is naturally impossible for the leader of Akwa to win the election in Akwa.
In terms of political philosophy, personal ability, and charm, Roima Sero is indeed a qualified candidate.
Even so, Cao Mo didn't dare to make a big bet directly.
He can see through specific people, but political issues are more complicated than imagined. Almost all professional observers and organizations are completely unfavorable to Roima Sero, and it is difficult for him to accurately judge anything at this time.
However, Cao Mo still provided four million US dollars in campaign funds to Roima Sero through untraceable channels.
Mey Mantar's personal attitude is relatively firm. She resigned from Akwa's Ministry of National Economy and directly joined Roima Sero's campaign team. She used her experience in media work and following her father's political career to build a campaign for Roima Sero.
Imma Sello adjusted a new campaign route and took over the media publicity work of the campaign team.
Of course, Cao Mo respects Mei Mantar's personal choice.
However, Cao Mo would not place too much hope on solving the problem of the Wusang River copper and gold mine on Roima Sello.
In June, the international gold price surged, breaking through the two levels of US$1,700 and US$1,800 per ounce successively. After more than two years of hard work, the West African United Cement Group finally achieved a breakthrough in Deculamo Securities.
The market is publicly traded.
Dracula Moor is the location of the largest securities market in West Africa, but it is directly related to the level of local economic development, and its actual capacity is very small.
In order to be listed on Draculamo, the United West African Cement Group reduced the proportion of public shares issued to 10% and raised only one billion US dollars from the public market. In the end, it was considered a precarious hurdle.
Once the West African United Cement Group was listed, it became the first super-listed company in the Canem de Gueramo securities market with a market value of more than 10 billion US dollars. The market value accounted for 10% of the total market value of all publicly listed companies in Canem. Therefore
It can be seen how difficult it is for such a giant West African United Cement Group to be listed on Kanem.
It was only because the forces formed by the investors behind the scenes were strong enough that this matter was finally achieved.
After this public offering and financing, Cao Mo further reduced his stake in West African United Cement Group to 25% through Tianyue Investment.
Even so, as an overseas capital, Cao Mo personally holds a relative controlling interest in Kanem's largest listed company. The wealth corresponding to this part of the shares alone is as high as 2.5 billion US dollars.
There are also various criticisms in Naim.
Of course, this capital feast does not belong to Cao Mo alone. The Stanning family is publicly offering shares and holds 15% of the shares of West African United Cement, corresponding to a market value of US$1.5 billion; Felician, Blake , Sika, Rupert, Bertich and other investors each hold 3-5%, and they have all officially entered the ranks of the top rich.
Except for Wendy Scutt and many old people from the Ibogu tribe who followed Cao Mo, who will continue to hold 3% of the shares as management members of the group, Shen Ji, Yang Deshan, Xie Sipeng and others are no longer actually responsible for the West African United Cement Regarding the operation and management of the group, they hold a total of about 4% of the shares. Before the public listing, they were packaged and acquired by an investment institution of Dracula Mo for US$300 million.
This will also further eliminate the label of a Chinese-owned enterprise on West African United Cement, and give more of the rich soup to Kanem's domestic interest groups.
In the last round of financing and equity adjustment before the public listing of West African United Cement, Cao Mo and the Stanning family both gave up three to four points of their shares at a lower price.
This also paves the way for West African United Cement Group to further expand its market share in the building materials market in the Gulf of Guinea.
Of course, Shen Ji, Yang Deshan, and Xie Sipeng were very happy when they cashed out so much money in one fell swoop.
Although West African United Cement still has room for continued growth in the future, with cash in hand, they are still worried about not finding good investment opportunities in other projects within the Tianyue system and in China?
West Africa United Cement's net profit in 10 years was as high as 1.2 billion U.S. dollars. It does not lack funds for development. This public listing raised one billion U.S. dollars. Under Cao Mo's lobbying, the major shareholders agreed to directly inject this capital. Drake Mining Co., Ltd., a subsidiary of Yibogu Mining, actually holds the mining rights of the Usan River copper-gold mine and many supporting projects, in exchange for 20% of the shares.
This is also directly included in the public listing prospectus plan.
The Wusang River Copper and Gold Mine has now built its first mine. Even since the crisis broke out, Cao Mo has been intentionally increasing the depreciation rate in order to withdraw the previously invested funds from Akwa as soon as possible. However, in 2010, gold and metal Even with the steady rise in copper futures prices, a net profit of US$300 million was achieved.
Ignoring the astonishing reserves of the Wusang River copper and gold mine, based only on the first mine and the 28 years of mining left in the future, the valuation of US$5 billion may be slightly higher.
After all, gold and copper metal futures prices cannot always be at historical highs, and the mining cycle of the next thirty years will inevitably have ups and downs that no one can predict.
However, if the Usang River Copper and Gold Mine’s currently proven economic mining reserves of metallic copper and gold are included, the Usang River Copper and Gold Mine is only valued at US$5 billion, which is too low.
Of course, Cao Mo persuaded Qian Wenhan and Xinhai Gold to agree to such a low price. To put it bluntly, he wanted to sell the Stanning family, the Bertich family and many investors who had far-reaching influence and power in Kanem. Through the platform of West African United Cement, we will introduce the subsequent development of the Wusang River copper and gold mine.
Not to mention the Felician family, the Blake family, the Rupert family, and the Sika family have long been deeply tied to Tianyue's interests.
Current shareholders behind West African United Cement
In other words, investors have become one force, and their impact on Kanem's political situation cannot be ignored.
No matter who is elected president of Kanem in the future, this will not change.
Even if the Sewiy family will continue to hold Akwa's presidential power, if they still want to have greedy ideas about the Usan River copper and gold mine, they need to consider the risk of being targeted and isolated by Kanem.
Although Kanem and Akwa belong to two separate countries, they both belong to the West African region on the southeastern coast of the Atlantic Ocean. They have long had close economic and political ties, and they are both members of the Economic Community of West African States.
Within the Economic Community of West African States, Kanem accounts for 50% of the population and nearly 60% of the total economic output, firmly holding the position of the leading country irreplaceably.
After becoming aware of the ambitions of the Evans Foundation and the Savvy family in the Usan River copper-gold mine, Cao Mo, under the lobbying of Sturgeon Foster, agreed to compete with the more profitable Cornero Cement in the market.
The West African Cement Group, which had been beaten steadily in the past, merged to form the West African United Cement Group. A very important factor is for today.
Tianyue's main investments in the Gulf of Guinea, including cement, oil exploration, refining, and the Usan River copper-gold mine project, have formed a strong alliance with family forces with sufficient status and influence in Kanem to protect
His vast interests in West Africa are becoming increasingly visible.
This is also the most stable moat under real conditions.

On the day that West African United Cement was successfully launched, Cao Mo held a celebration banquet at the Lana Del Rey International Resort Hotel, and Niz Oppenheimer and Nsanga also attended in their attires.
Although the Oppenheimer family's shares were diluted a lot when Ferkov Petrochemicals dismantled the cross-shareholding structure, Niss Oppenheimer chose to cooperate, so in the final round of financing before the listing of West African United Cement,
Cao Mo gave the Oppenheimer family some compensation.
The Oppenheimer family took over 1% of West Africa United Cement's shares from Cao Mo for less than US$50 million. After West Africa United Cement went public, its market value doubled.
And if the Usan River copper-gold mine is truly fully developed and West African United Cement continues to expand into the African building materials market outside the Gulf of Guinea region, there will be huge room for growth in the annual profit scale and stock price of West African United Cement.
Of course, what is more important to Niz Oppenheimer is that Cao Mo has discussed with other investors and decided to recommend him to run for the next senator of Ogun State.
Nitz Oppenheimer's political career will usher in a new peak.
Although Cao Mo is not a person who repays evil with kindness, nor has he completely forgotten the small tricks that Nitz Oppenheimer and his son have done behind the scenes over the years, it is true that there are too few qualified politicians in West Africa.
No matter whether Niss Oppenheimer is greedy or has various calculations and intrigues, this may be the nature of a qualified politician - at least at this stage, using Niss Oppenheimer well will save the world.
Yue’s interests in the Gulf of Guinea can be protected with an additional layer of protection.
The Oppenheimer family's shareholding in Tianyue companies has been reduced to 12%, which ensures that while the interests of the Oppenheimer family are tied to Tianyue, it also loses the value of being exploited by the outside world...
