"Who, why are you calling now?"

Zhou Han asked in his sleep.

"Wake you up?" Cao Mo said when he saw Zhou Han wake up, "Yan Ming suddenly called and said that he would follow Yang Xiaofeng from now on."

"Ah, it's not enough for him to act like a mighty person in the casino. Why did he do this hard work with Yang Xiaofeng? Or did Yan Zhicheng not tolerate him and drove him out of the Lana Dere Beach Casino?" Zhou Han felt strange. At this moment, the moonlight shone in from the window, and the floor seemed to be covered with a thin layer of frost.

"I can't be at peace with my mind. I'm thinking about life, value, adventure, etc...." Cao Mo and Zhou Han came back from Catero last night. There was nothing to do. He slept early. It was only two o'clock in the morning, but he didn't feel sleepy, so he reached out to turn on the desk lamp at the head of the bed.

Zhou Han woke up in the darkness, and the desk lamp was still too dazzling. She turned her body sideways, and her face was pressed against Cao Mo's chest. She touched his somewhat prickly stubble and said:

"Yang Xiaofeng has been eyeing the mercenary company of Conns Security Consultant Company, which is registered in the UK, but its main activity area is in South Africa. It has cooperated with the Evans Foundation's companies in South Africa, but it is not only serving companies under the Evans Foundation. Therefore, the public information does not believe that they have any involvement with the Evans Foundation. Of course, Liang Yuan disagrees with the public. No matter how high the Comns offer, he also needs to promote the cooperation between the Catero Steel Plant and Conns. Yang Xiaofeng believes that there must be something worth exploring behind this. I am wondering whether the two assistants around Osever Fergem also ask Yang Xiaofeng to assist in the investigation?"

Osever Phyjöm is in a high position, and his work, life and personal safety are meticulously taken care of. It is the most difficult to find something valuable from him.

I really want to find evidence to secretly collude with the Evans Foundation to support pirates and rioters, but the work starts with Osever Fergem's core confidential staff.

The Tubman Security Consulting Company belongs to Zhou Han, and the Logistics and Information Support Department, under the charge of Taiya, will include this matter in the key work plan and will arrange a special intelligence collection and analysis team to follow up, but it does not mean that you do not need to rely on external forces.

In addition to Liang Yuan, who is determined to join the Evans Foundation, the more important thing is the Berso Catero Steel Industrial Complex, as the largest single-investment industrial project in addition to oil exports of the Evans Foundation, must also play an important role within the Evans Foundation. Yang Xiaofeng has always been watching Liang Yuan's every move. Zhou Han feels that if the appropriate support is provided here, there may be unexpected results.

Cao Mo thought for a while, hugged Zhou Han's soft body, and said, "There will be no harm in two lines running side by side, but you should ask Yang Xiaofeng to be careful and don't alert the enemy!"

"Do you get up at this time or sleep for a while?" Zhou Han asked with his watch from the head of the bed.

Although it was only two o'clock in the morning, as planned, Cao Mo had to go out to sea with the boat to Digon at five o'clock. Therefore, he went to bed and rested directly when he returned to Longta last night.

"You can't do anything except get up and sleep?" Cao Mo hugged Zhou Han's boneless body and pulled her to her.

"Stop making trouble, you haven't been tormented enough..." Zhou Han said, pinching the flesh on Cao Mo's chest.

…………

Although the cooperation with Langhua Petroleum was led by Sturgeon and Huang Hebin, Cao Mo did not worry at all.

When crude oil futures prices are high and resources are scarce, Europe, the United States and China have strengthened the exploration and exploitation of offshore oil. However, in the Gulf of Guinea, few offshore drilling platforms are mainly concentrated in offshore areas with high costs.

Although the waters in the Gulf of Guinea are calm and no major storms have come all year round, the marine engineering foundations of countries along the Gulf of Guinea are too weak.

The dozens of offshore oil fields developed in the Gulf of Guinea in the early days were not only drilling platforms, but also offshore maintenance equipment were imported from Europe and the United States. The staff engaged in exploration, mining and equipment maintenance operations were almost all mainly European and American.

In the later stage, these oil exploitation companies supported some small and medium-sized enterprises locally and undertake exploration operations in offshore oil fields and drilling platform maintenance and maintenance.

Behind the scenes of these small and medium-sized enterprises, they also have close relationships with oil exploitation companies. Originally, Cao Mo wanted to acquire them, but he still couldn't find an opportunity to get in.

Mainly from 2004 to 2008, international oil prices continued to soar, and countries such as Kanem also proposed offshore oil exploration and mining plans with amazing scale in order to increase the scale of oil exports.

This has stimulated a large number of small and medium-sized enterprises such as offshore oilfield exploration, drilling and maintenance to be registered and established, and a large number of offshore work vessels and equipment have been rented or sold into West Africa.

However, the subprime mortgage crisis in 2008 swept the world, international oil prices were experiencing storms, and Kanem and other countries couldn't wait to give up their amazing scale offshore oil exploration and mining plans.

These small and medium-sized enterprises are naturally the ones that have been hit the most in the past two years.

Even if these small and medium-sized enterprises have funders (investors) behind the scenes, they cannot support them and may go bankrupt at any time. If they can be resold, who can still pick them?

After the Norquiko Manor attack, during the negotiations with Langhua Petroleum, Cao Mo urged Sturgeon, Huang Hebin and others to directly take the name of the Frkov Petrochemical Group. In fact, the equity has no direct relationship with the Frkov Petrochemical Group and acquire an oil service company.

This oil service company mainly provides technical support and maintenance services for drilling platforms outside the Niger River mouth. It has an offshore maintenance ship with more than 60 employees. It is not large in scale, but has certain technical strength.

In the past half month, Sturgeon and Huang Hebin have stepped in to acquire two offshore oil exploration and technical support companies to merge, hiring seven technical personnel from China with high salaries, and the management personnel joined the renamed Frkov Oil Service Company, and set up an office in Digon, where the Quicottos Oilfield is located, and started preparations for taking over the drilling in advance.

After signing a formal cooperation agreement with Langhua Petroleum, the first batch of staff members were quickly sent to the platform.

Logically speaking, the subsequent work is to look at the following engineering and technical personnel, when the three drilling platforms can be officially operated successfully, fill the double-capped storage tanks on the platform, and then transport the high-quality crude oil from Quicottos to the Conelo Lake Port crude oil terminal.

However, Cao Mo knew very well that Langhua Petroleum was a stance to treat dead horses as live horses when it came to cooperation with them.

In addition to setting up a new office in Augusta and continuing to hire a small number of armed guards, the actual drilling platform maintenance work was handed over to Tianyue. Their worst plan was that they could not successfully produce oil and could save 30 to 40 million US dollars in maintenance costs every year.

Of course, the most important point is that Langhua Petroleum did not give up its efforts to sell the Quicottos oil field at this time. Tianyue’s cooperation with them is fragile and unreliable.

On the one hand, Cao Mo did not have so much money at this time to completely take over the mining rights and all the ancillary facilities of the Quicottos Oilfield. At the same time, Digong, the country where the Quicottos Oilfield is located, will not allow Langhua Petroleum to directly transfer the mining rights of the oilfield to a company that has no oil extraction foundation.

Of course, if Langhua Petroleum subcontracts some of its businesses, this is not the limit.

This is like the domestic general contractor needs qualifications. Everyone will turn a blind eye to the subsequent subcontractor and who is responsible for the construction.

If a third party is willing to take over the Quinotos Oilfield before the three drilling platforms are successfully operated, Tianyue will not have any say in it.

The most critical reason why Langhua Petroleum signed a cooperation agreement with Tianyue so quickly and agreed to relatively loose conditions is that Tianyue has no right to interfere in oilfield transfer transactions.

In other words, if the buyer has no intention of accepting the cooperation agreement signed by Langhua Petroleum and Tianyue, Langhua Petroleum will only provide appropriate compensation and ask Tianyue to be eliminated.

Tianyue Neng has reached a cooperation agreement with Langhua Petroleum. In addition to the fact that both parties are not qualified to pick and choose, the cooperation agreement is also relaxed and open to both parties.

In fact, if a buyer is willing to take over Quinotus Oilfield, there is a high probability that it will have its own supporting oil service company, and Tianyue will likely be kicked out.

Tianyue wants to have the right to speak, so that the three drilling platforms can operate successfully before Langhua Petroleum finds a buyer.

According to the current cooperation agreement, the three drilling platforms can be successfully operated and successfully suppress the arrogance of pirates in the Quikonov waters. Although Tianyue takes advantage of it and can see at least hundreds of millions of dollars in super high profits every year, Langhua Petroleum benefits even more.

After all, they truly grasp the oil extraction rights in the Quikonov waters.

The exploration and mining rights and auxiliary equipment of the Kuikonov oil field were exchanged for a huge amount of US$2 billion in exchange for Langhua Petroleum ten years ago. Not only did it fail to generate benefits in recent years, it even invested nearly US$1 billion in huge amounts.

Langhua Petroleum assets are huge, but they have suffered a lot in the sub-investment crisis.

More critically, the development of European countries in recent years has stagnated uncontrollably, which has seriously plagued Langhua Petroleum.

As long as the Quicottos Oilfield can bring stable and reliable benefits to Langhua Petroleum every year, Cao Mo believes that the top management of Langhua Petroleum may not even think about selling the hen that can only lay eggs.

Even though Langhua Petroleum is still determined to sell the Quicotus oil field, although they had a lot of reserves before, the Quicotus oil field, which was damaged by pirates, was priced at $3 billion.

When drilling in the Quicottos Oilfield is re-operated, it will bring about $300 million in profits every year. When there is still room for great growth in the later period, will they still maintain their original quotations?

As long as Langhua Petroleum significantly increases its quotation, this is the role and voice of Tianyue in the Quicottos oil field; buyers cannot ignore Tianyue's role and status and kick them out at will.

Although the country of Digong has a population of only more than 20 million and has entered the era of democratic elections since the early 1990s, it has hundreds of ethnic groups in its country, many of which are terrifying and internal ethnic conflicts are fierce. The intermittent unrest over the years has never completely subsided.

This is also the main reason why pirate forces in the coastal areas of Digon are more rampant than those in Kanem, Benin and Akwa.

The Evans Foundation can secretly cultivate and support the pirate forces in Digon, and not be afraid of being caught by opponents. The main reason is that the situation in Digon's domestic situation is too chaotic.

If there were no sharp conflicts with the Evans Foundation, Cao Mo would not be sure to win the Quiccotos oil service business.

What he sees now is not only the excess profits brought by the Quecotos oil service business itself, but he also needs to consider that once he gives up resistance and does not use the Quecotos oil field to establish a foothold in the southern wing of the Gulf of Guinea to combat pirate forces. How can the shipping safety of the Gulf of Guinea Shipping Company in the waters south of Kanem be guaranteed?

How should West African United Cement expand its market through the Gulf of Guinea's offshore channel to the two wings?

Will the construction of a cross-border transmission network along the Gulf of Guinea be completely exposed to the threat of pirate forces secretly controlled by the Evans Foundation?

Since the Evans Foundation dares to enter Lake Norque and attack the southern part of Cotonou, let it go, the shores of Lake Conelo cannot be considered safe.

In the name of ensuring the normal operation of drilling, we will strengthen the construction of the Tubman Safety Consultant Company's armed security guards at sea, limit the frequency of pirates' activities in the southern wing of the Gulf of Guinea, identify and find out the pirate forces secretly supported by the Evans Foundation, and continue to fight.

This is the key to Cao Mo's extremely concerned about this matter and personally promoted it.

After the attack on Lake Norquie Manor, in addition to Governor Blake and others, Cao Mo also successfully convinced the Stanning family and Bertic and other investors.

In addition to jointly promoting the strengthening of military and police efforts to combat pirates in Kanem, the more direct thing is that the board of directors of the West African United Cement Group unanimously agreed to significantly increase the total amount of the comprehensive security service agreement for Tubman Security Consulting Company to $40 million per year.

In addition to the attack on Lake Norquin Manor, Cao Mo invested $50 million in Tubman Security Consulting at one time to purchase and renewal and stronger weapons reconnaissance equipment, Cao Mo also plans to gradually increase the annual expenditure of Tubman Security Consulting from the current $20 million to $100 million in the next three years.

This is already a pretty terrifying number.

You should know that the Benin country's defense expenditure in 2009 was only a little more than US$100 million.

It is no wonder that the Benin military and police team, which seems to be fully organized by the three armies of the navy, air and army, has no combat power, nor is it that the pirate forces secretly supported by the Evans Foundation dare to enter Lake Norque directly to cause such a big incident.

If Cao Mo had not formed his own security force very early, and if he had not realized the other party's intentions in advance, it would be hard to imagine that he would be qualified to confront the Evans Foundation on the Gulf of Guinea.

…………

West Africa United Cement and Tianyue Industrial have long established offices in Dua, the largest port city in Digon.

Like Kanem, farmers have no way out and have no restrictions to pour into a limited number of centers, causing the city to expand in disorder.

The entire country of Digon has only 223 million people, but Dua, as the largest port city, has crowded more than four million people.

However, Dua's urban construction has a worse industrial foundation than Cotonou. With such a dense population, most of the young and middle-aged people are in unemployed or semi-unemployed situations, so it is conceivable that the social security chaos can be imagined.

The town of Quicottos was also built directly on the straight coastline, one hundred kilometers north of Dua, and once had a brief prosperity due to offshore oilfield development.

In the early years, oil exploiters not only built living, safety and material support bases on the shore.

, there are also supporting port terminals parked by offshore ships, and they are all affiliated with Langhua Petroleum at this time.

When Tianyue signed a cooperation agreement with Langhua Petroleum, the right to use these facilities was temporarily transferred to the hands of the Frkov Oil Service Company.

Because of the development of offshore oil fields, tens of thousands of migrants were once in the town of Quicottos, and the security situation was very chaotic before 2000.

However, as Langhua Petroleum temporarily interrupted the exploitation of the Quicottos oil field and withdrew its main personnel, these foreigners were unable to make a living in Quicottos and scattered.

Of course, when the Frkov oil service company settled in, Cao Mo arrived in Quekotos and saw the trend of crowds gathering in the slums outside the living base.

Fortunately, Huang Hebin has been watching here for a while and strictly prohibits staff and security personnel from going out. All daily necessities in the early stage are transported from Dracula Mo, rather than buying them from the local area at a low price.

However, if you have been closed for a long time, if you do not communicate with local people, or if you do not transfer interests to a certain extent, you will inevitably be rejected by local forces, which will induce more troublesome and fierce contradictions.

Cao Mo's principle is to establish contact and contact with local forces, and to select moderate forces from the local area for support.
To be continued...
