Chapter 364 The purpose of Orientals is questionable

"Mr. Li Mo, are you really going to invest in Somalia?" Hasim, who was originally a little careless, stood up from his chair after hearing a word from the Oriental. He stared at the corner of the table and asked in surprise.

is a surprise question, not a surprise question. It is said that the current situation in Somalia. Someone comes to invest, and Hashim, the Minister of Industry, should offer the other party as God. But after hearing Li Mo's words, Hashim was not surprised at all. Instead, he was very surprised.

When he asked Li Mo, his mind was turning sharply. What does this Chinese mean? Will it be the same as the previous Koreans in order to set up a mineral company in Somalia? Dig up a certain national mineral that you like and immediately pat your buttocks and leave?

In Africa, whether in Somalia or other countries. There are very few resources in the land that really belong to the country. Most of them belong to the tribes. Only a small part of it is national. Some of these parts are "gifted" by domestic tribes, and some are left by the previous regime.

Although Somalia's economy has collapsed, there are still a few national minerals. A few years ago, I, Koreans, and people from some Western countries came here, hoping to get the right to develop a certain mineral. Among these people, the public relations ability of Japan and South Korea is the best. At that time, the two small iron mines were granted development rights by the two countries respectively. But it was unexpected to all those in power in Somalia. Before cooperation, we pledged to increase our commitment to invest in some aspects of Somalia while developing mineral resources in Somalia. It has completely disappeared. Coupled with the change of regime. Many people have not put this matter in an important position. Several years have passed. The two small iron mines have been excavated for a long time. However, the promise of Japan and South Korea has not been seen for a dime.

After the establishment of the temporary government axe, Hashim served as the Minister of Industry. After learning about this situation, he immediately regarded Orientals, especially Koreans, as non-cooperative objects. Later, the two countries came to 'examine' Somalia's industrial market again. He was beaten around by Hashim. The two countries have not been granted the right to develop minerals in Somalia at all.

Hashim learned from the information and some of the staff of the Ministry of Industry left over from the previous regime that the two countries were under the guise of investment, and their main purpose was to obtain the right to mineral development.

Lessons from the front car and the teacher of the back car. Although Hashim doesn't know these eight words. But it doesn't mean that he doesn't understand the meaning.

Will the Orientals in front of us be the same as those two countries for the right to mineral development?

Hashim's brown eyes looked at Li Mo warily. It seems that the person in front of him is the guy who has been received before, who is short and used to nodding his head.

"Yes, Minister Hashim. I have been to Somalia many times. And I visited all parts of your country. Although some parts of your country are a little messy, in general. It is still an industrial virgin land. I am very optimistic about the investment in your country. Li Mo looked like a businessman and said half-truly.

"Mr. Li Mo, I wonder what industry you are going to invest in?" Hashim was vigilant. But he can't kick people out without listening to Li Mo. That is not only sorry for the position of Minister of Industry, but also inconsistent with his usual caution.

Li Mo until now, he still doesn't know that the other party has put him together with Japanese and Koreans. Otherwise, he would not have slapped the table and turned his face immediately.

"After investigation, I found that in addition to the development of animal husbandry, your country is also rich in mineral resources." Li Mo replied with a smile.

That's true! The same purpose as myself and Koreans! As soon as Hashim heard that Li Mo was optimistic about mineral development. Li Mo was defined in his heart.

Absolutely not let this Oriental man succeed! Hashim thought to himself.

"Mr. Li Mo, if you want to invest in mineral development, I have to tell you regretfully. We can't cooperate for the time being. Because China has no plan to develop mineral resources at present. Hashim looked at Li Mo and spread out his hand with regret.

Li Mo couldn't help frowning slightly. No plan to develop minerals? Before coming, Li Mo also studied the shape of Somali mineral resources. For now. In the whole of Somalia, in addition to the development of green beryl and gypsum, iron ore in some tribes is also being developed privately. Most of the other mineral resources are still buried in the ground.

For example, the Para tribe has a small iron ore in their hands. Before the Star Organization entered Somalia. This iron ore is the suspension of production. It's time for Moore to take charge of Paraming's cooking army and have financial difficulties. The development efforts have been intensified. But after Moore was placed under house arrest and Paraming's cooking army was in the hands of Li Mo. This small iron ore has been sealed again.

It's not only the Para tribe. Li Mo has learned that most of the surrounding tribes are slowly mining minerals under the name of the tribe. A piece of Lower Juba State. Most of the mined iron ore was sold to an Italian steel company. There is no full use of the wealth left to them by nature.

Li Mo wants to obtain the right to mineral development, not only for the benefit of it. He still has a huge plan in his mind. That is to set up a steel company in Somalia. A complete industrial chain from mining to smelting. After the star organization, all metal materials are self-sufficient. Don't worry about being stuck in the neck on the raw materials after growing up.

Obtaining the right to mineral development can also deepen cooperation with Huaxia and make use of Huaxia's technology in steel mining and smelting. Serve the development of the Star Organization.

But the words of the Somali Minister of Industry in front of him undoubtedly told Li Mo. His plan is about to be aborted before it starts.

There are no mineral resources. The so-called plan is a castle in the air. It can't be implemented at all.

"Minister Hashim, is it because there is no mineral development plan that your government rejected this huge cooperation? You should know that this is an investment project involving hundreds of millions of dollars. Not only does it include mineral development, but I also plan to build a steel smelter in Somalia. These can not only increase taxes for your country's government, but also provide a large number of jobs for your people. It can even fill the industrial gap in your country. Set an example for other foreign investors to attract foreign investors into Somalia. Are you going to refuse these benefits? Li Mo didn't give up and threw out the **naked **. As long as this minister is not a sloppy. I should not refuse this cooperation.

After listening to Li Mo's words, Hashim was stunned for a long time. Investment of hundreds of millions of dollars? Build a steel smelter? Increase taxes and increase jobs? Attract foreign investment?

After swallowing a mouthful of water secretly, Hashim has forgotten the same definition of Li Mo and Han Yu in his heart. He has decided not to give up missing this cooperation. As a country with a debt of more than $2 billion and a negative annual GDP, what does an investment of hundreds of millions of dollars mean? It means that an aircraft carrier came from a lake of stagnant water. A powerful propeller can drive the fluctuation of at least one area, and even turn stagnant water into living water. Because of the aircraft carrier, there must be escorted destroyers, frigates and nuclear submarines.

At Hashim's intention to verbally agree with Li Mo first. Then when he immediately reported to the president, Li Mo said something that made his heart beat.

"In China and Kenya. I have a machinery factory under my name. I also plan to build a machinery factory in Somalia. These should be planned according to mineral development cooperation. So please make sure to consider whether to refuse such a large investment or not.

President Abu Dikasim? Sarat? Hassan now faces a choice. Today, just after he sent away Kenyalei, who came to ask for military expenses, he received Hashim, who rushed to report.

President Hassan listened carefully to Hashim's report. There is no surprise or joy on his face. The old man in his sixties can't guess the real purpose of Li Mo's investment in Somalia. Those things that South Korea have done. As the president of the transitional ax, Hassan certainly understands. Now there is another Oriental, even if the other party is Chinese. Hassan doesn't know if the other party has the same purpose as South Korea.

Hashim had the intention to persuade the president to agree to this cooperation, but the words came to his mouth and was taken back by him.

He knew that Abu Dikasimso was the first president elected by Mali in a decade and had a high prestige among civil forces. But that's because of this. It makes Abdi Kasim not decisive enough in some major matters. This is also because warlords are raging in Somalia. These warlord leaders who have guns and people do not pay attention to the political axes of the literati, which makes the president without armed support indecisive.

"Hasim, do you think we should agree to cooperate? Will they, like themselves and Koreans, just to get the right to mineral development, and the rest are lies? Abu Dikasim frowned deeply and asked hesitantly.

Sitting on the throne of the Transitional President, Abu Dikasim knew that it was too difficult to save Somalia. There is no scenery in the eyes of ordinary people, but like walking on thin ice. Every day, in addition to dealing with calls from various places asking for military expenses, he is a referee. Maneuver among various forces and resolve the disputes between the two sides for some trivial matters, so as not to let these people who do not listen to the propaganda fight over these matters and restart the civil war in Somalia.

Sitting on this presidential throne like a gunpowder barrel, Abdi Kasim consumes all his energy every day. There is no extra time to develop the economy. Now that someone is investing in Somalia, Abu Di Kasim should be happy. But the lesson between Japan and South Korea made him hesitate. He was afraid of getting into the trap of these Orientals again. At that time, this matter may become a reason for the political enemy to attack. Somalia can no longer be chaotic. Abu Dikasim felt that as long as there was a trace of doubt, he could not make a decision easily.

"President, I don't think we have to be so careful. We can indicate in the agreement that the other party should establish a mechanical plant or smelter first. That's when it's time to give him the right to development. Only in this way can we guard against the traps that the other party may set!" Hashim flashed and immediately came up with an idea.

Abdi Kasim pondered for a while and thought that Hashim had a good idea. Just let the other party build all the so-called factory equipment. Don't be afraid of the other party's repentance.

"You will raise this matter at the regular meeting tomorrow morning. Let's discuss it together. If it is feasible, it is up to you to cooperate with this Chinese on behalf of the political axe.
