The streets of Draculamore in September are hot, chaotic and dirty. The air is filled with the pungent smell of sour rot. I don't know if there is a leak somewhere, but the pedestrians in the streets and alleys are in a hurry, and no one pays attention to it.

But Sturgeon likes the afternoon after the rain. When it's a little cooler, he wanders around the streets of Draculamore, looking for the beauty he can appreciate from the messy streets. Occasionally, he presses the shutter to capture what he thinks.

A heart-touching scene captured in the camera.

Compared with the senior vice president of Atlantic Bank, Sturgeon prefers his identity as a senior photojournalist for the European Times, with a camera hanging around his neck, which makes him feel more integrated into the world and no longer feels out of place.

"Hello Mr. Foster!"

Sturgeon heard someone calling loudly in the distance, and suddenly turned around in surprise, only to see a sturdy Yoruba young man in a suit walking diagonally towards him from the street and shouting hello.

The face of the Yoruba young man in front of him felt unfamiliar to him. Sturgeon looked at him in confusion, wondering whether he had found the wrong person, or maybe he had a hearing problem just now.

The Yoruba young man walking down the street did not call him.

"Hello, Mr. Foster, I am Mr. Cao's senior assistant Pali Tedosaruo. Mr. Cao would like to invite Mr. Foster to have a talk. Mr. Cao is across the street and will not delay Fu

Mr. Sturt, you are taking too long," Parry said.

"Did you admit the wrong person? I don't recognize Mr. Cao, and I don't want to see Mr. Cao." At this time, Sturgeon saw several Chevrolet SUVs parked in the alley opposite Xu, and she was slightly shocked, and her pupils

They all shrank slightly.

Even though he is white, it is not uncommon for several white faces to be kidnapped on the chaotic streets of Draculamore - this is a country where gangsters dare to kidnap hundreds of employees of American oil companies for ransom.

Turgeon does not feel that his white identity can bring him much security in this country.

"Mr. Foster, distinguished Senior Vice President and Vice Chairman of the Board of Directors of Bank Atlantic, how could we misidentify you? Mr. Foster, if you think we have any evil intentions, you can wait until you come to visit us three hundred meters away.

After the two personal bodyguards of the Yoruba girl whistling on the street come over, I will ask you to meet Mr. Cao," Pari said.

"No, I can go see Mr. Cao now." Sturgeon said in what she thought was standard Chinese.

Although he had never met Pari, and there was not much difference in the appearance of the Yoruba people in the pictures, in his impression, several Yoruba people who held senior positions around Cao Mo could all speak Chinese.

"Mr. Foster, your Chinese proficiency is actually worse than what is written in the information." Parry bluntly pointed out in Chinese.

Compared to the hot streets, the air-conditioning in the off-road vehicle is more comfortable.

Sturgeon sat in the spacious seven-seater carriage and saw Cao Mo, who had black hair, black eyes, wearing a white shirt, and was so young that he envied him, sitting in the last row, looking at him with very calm eyes; the beautiful Dongfang

The beautiful woman Zhou Han and Cao Mo were sitting nearby and looked over, probably curious about how he would look when he got into the car.

In addition to the empty seat left for him in the second carriage, there was also a tall bodyguard sitting there, staring at him with piercing eyes. It seemed that if he made the slightest move, the bodyguard would pounce on him like a mighty lion.

In front, excluding the driver, was the Vice Chairman of the Lunga Municipal Council, Oyo State Assemblyman Abacha, who was looking at him with interest through the rearview mirror, with a vague arrogance of looking at his prey.

This made Sturgeon feel somewhat unhappy, and she secretly speculated when she was targeted by Cao Mo.

At this time, Sturgeon's two bodyguards noticed something unusual and rushed towards them. Sturgeon cursed twice, opened the car window and asked them to wait on the street.

"The invitation to Mr. Sturgeon to come here for a discussion is not because of Mr. Foster's status as a photojournalist for the European Times, but because he wants to serve you and cooperate with Bank Atlantic and Falkov Investment Co., Ltd. who are secretly taking orders from you...

"Cao Mo looked at the blond young man in front of him, who was only a few years older than him. If not for multiple confirmations, it would be hard to imagine that he was a crocodile lurking deep in the swamp, ready to pounce out and tear the delicious prey into pieces at any time.

smash.

"Mr. Cao is really well-informed. I usually don't like to meet people as the senior vice president of Atlantic Bank. I thought that not many people in Draculamore knew my true identity. It seems that I still underestimated you, Mr. Cao."

." Sturgeon thought about the old Chinese saying "As soon as you come, let it be." She got into the car and calmly looked at the Chinese young man who was a few years younger than him at close range. He was so handsome that people envied him.

, apart from that, there is no other talent. It is hard to imagine that he created a mining empire in West Africa in such a short period of time.

"Draculamot is too chaotic and lawless. If the information is not well-informed, it is difficult to say when someone will secretly plot against him." Cao Mo saw that Sturgeon could be so calm and thought to himself that he is really not a simple person.

He stopped laying the groundwork and asked straight to the point, "Mr. Foster, what do you think of our future cooperation?"

"Since you all know that I am the senior vice president of Atlantic Bank, and that I secretly invested in Fulkov Investment Company, which holds more shares than the Oppenheimer family, then aren't we already cooperating?" Si

Tejin's pupils shrank, and the meaning of Cao Mo's words frightened him, but he still spoke ambiguously.

"Mr. Foster talked about Cornero Energy and Atlantic United Petroleum Trading Company - I think in Mr. Foster's eyes, this cannot be called cooperation at all," Cao Mo said in a pretentious manner, "Conero Energy

It is true that I will continue to cooperate with you, Mr. Foster, but now I hope that Mr. Foster can terminate the secret agreement with Huamao and join hands with us to seize our share of the Taihua Group..."

Sturgeon's brown eyes suddenly shrank.

Cao Mo was able to figure out his identity, so he was not particularly surprised.

Cao Mo was able to achieve what he did today because he was obviously a patient and careful person. There was definitely no shortage of manpower in Draculamore, and Sturgeon didn't think it was possible for him to not reveal any flaws for a long time.

However, few people knew the details of the agreement he secretly reached with Han Shaorong. How could Cao Mo know all this?

Is it purely based on speculation? Isn’t this too strong?

"Mr. Foster does not need to be confused. I have worked with the Ensanger and Oppenheimer families for a long time, and I have long understood their strength and heritage. Ever since Falkov Investment took over the Atlantic Union Oil Trading Company,

At that moment, I knew that there must be someone like you, Mr. Foster, behind the Oppenheimer family. I have been silently paying attention to you, Mr. Foster." Cao Mo said pretending to be profound, "Although it means

Mr. Foster at the New Taihua Refinery, you don't care if Conero Marina is a trap, but Conero Marina is indeed a trap we set for Taihua Group to drain their limited cash reserves.

——We have long expected that Mr. Han Shaorong and Mr. Foster would not be able to help but attack the Taihua Group. Mr. Foster, you have been silently observing all this in the past few years, and you must have long ago taken action against us and the Taihua Group.

We understand all the grudges clearly - I have said this, is Mr. Foster still surprised by my invitation today?"

"Nitz Oppenheimer did not hesitate to praise you, saying that Mr. Cao is a very powerful person. It seems that he underestimated you, Mr. Cao."

Sturgeon would not completely listen to Cao Mo's words, but she was still shocked. Thinking that she was under Cao Mo's surveillance from beginning to end, she felt unspeakable frustration.

However, Sturgeon is not someone who gives in easily and said with emotion,

"But since Mr. Cao has guessed that we have reached a cooperation agreement with Mr. Han, why do you still think that we may tear up the agreement with Mr. Han and turn to cooperate with you? What makes Mr. Cao think that we are keeping our words?

People who believe?”

"For such an important cooperation, it is impossible for Mr. Foster not to send people to China to investigate Han Shaorong and Huamao Capital. But after the investigation, he will definitely feel that the cooperation with Han Shaorong and Huamao Capital is really disappointing.

Isn't it something you're worried about?" Cao Mo said, "Besides, I don't think terminating cooperation with a person who breaks his word is considered breaking his promise. As for the benefits of cooperating with us, Mr. Foster, I think you

I know it better than anyone else, so you don’t need me to explain it in detail, right?"

"..." Sturgeon remained silent.

Cao Mo didn't want to give Sturgeon too long to think about it, and said: "I want to take over the construction of Cornero Marina New City, and Fulkov Investment will take over the subsequent construction of the New Taihua Refinery, and kick out Lu Jiancheng, Lu Jianchao and Han Shaorong."

Going out is the best thing that can benefit both of you and me."

"How can I trust your sincerity?" Sturgeon asked.

"When the Brotherhood of Steel Fist besieged the Taihua Industrial Park, I did not stand idly by, nor did I add insult to injury. I even sacrificed the interests I had obtained to prevent the situation from becoming uncontrollable - Mr. Foster, you should have understood me from that time on.

Why am I sincere in flying back to Kanem this time to cooperate with you?" Cao Mo said.

"..." Sturgeon fell silent again.

If he discarded other thoughts and ideas, he personally appreciated Cao Mo's style of doing things more.

Compared with the huge and chaotic Draculamore, the size of the Conero Lake Industrial Park on the northwest shore of Conero Lake is definitely not that big, but it has unimaginable prosperity and a miraculous construction and development speed.

This kind of development speed has been throughout the almost miraculous rise of Tianyue, and it is also being more fully demonstrated on the banks of the Usan River in Drake.

He certainly has reason to believe that if Cao Mo takes over the new coastal city of Cornero, it will develop more steadily and rapidly, and it will definitely benefit and not harm the development of the New Taihua Refinery and the Port of Cornero Lake.

If there is any disadvantage, it is that it will make Tianyue's foundation in Kanem and West Africa stronger, so strong that it will be difficult to shake it with only Atlantic Bank.

"Why, it has come to this point, Mr. Foster, are you still obsessed with the Wusang River copper and gold mine?" Cao Mo stared at Sturgeon with sharp eyes and asked, "If the Foster family can listen to you

I may still have some scruples about the suggestion, but it is a pity that Foster is stubborn and conservative. Not to mention unwilling to involve Africa anymore, he even thinks about withdrawing the family business from the increasingly chaotic European continent and shrinking it back to the British Peninsula.

Go up."

Sturgeon was slightly startled, narrowed her eyes like poisonous snakes, and said: "Mr. Cao, you have really done a very meticulous job..."

"I always prefer to cooperate with familiar and smart people. I wonder what Mr. Foster's preference is?" Cao Mo asked, staring at Sturgeon.

International crude oil prices plummeted, and the securities market that affected Dracula Motor's size was also gloomy.

Except for the fact that Draculamo's listed company Starhelu Company's plan to issue new shares to acquire Sanchez Blue Star Leasing Company was blocked, Nsange had no particularly deep personal experience of the raging financial crisis.

The Oppenheimer family holds 30% of the shares in the Sanchez Blue Star Leasing Company. Even if it is successfully acquired by the listed company Starhru Company in exchange for the agreed four million shares of the listed company Starhru Company, in

The current depressed market environment has only increased the Oppenheimer family's family assets by less than $20 million.

Three years ago, this would have definitely been a fortune that would have driven the Oppenheimer family crazy. But at this time, the Oppenheimer family held 16% of the shares in Cornero Energy and in Fulkov Investment Company.

Secretly holding 30% of the shares, whichever side is worth far more than 20 million US dollars, may even bring more than 20 million US dollars in profits to the Oppenheimer family every year.

These were all luxuries that Nsangge did not dare to dream about.

Of course, but thinking about Bram, Abacha, and Nsangge who were cooperating with Cao Mo, they couldn't help but feel jealous.

The Brahm and Rupert families hold more than 5% of the shares in Ibogu Mining, worth hundreds of millions of dollars. This alone makes people jealous and resentful.

Of course, Nsanger felt uncomfortable.

The car turned into the suburban manor of the Oppenheimer family. From a distance, Nsanger saw several off-road vehicles parked in front of the main building, and many armed bodyguards standing around. They were not his family's bodyguards, but there were several
