Chapter 407 Money-raising

"Is this the 'Somali National Guest House'?" Standing in front of a four-story building that looks similar to a hotel in a small county in China, Li Mo asked in surprise.

Maybe he had already guessed that Li Mo would have such an expression. Lei Zhen smiled and whispered, "Do you think there will be a Jinmao Building here?" There is a trace of laughter in the expression.

"Uh..." Li Mo was speechless and followed Lei Zhen into the 'Somali National Guest House'. But I'm thinking that Somalia is indeed one of the least developed countries. The place where the central government of the country receives foreign guests is no different from an ordinary hotel.

Seeing Li Mo's arrival, Ding Huiqiang and others, who were close to him, greeted him warmly. Then Lei Zhen introduced He Bin, Commercial Counselor of the Chinese Embassy in Kenya, to Li Mo. Originally, it was certainly impossible to access such confidential information at the level of He Bin, but now it has become the contact between Huaxia Political Axe and Somalia's Transitional Political Axe. As a diplomat, his loyalty to China can definitely stand the test. After careful consideration, the relevant departments of China have decided to let He Bin also participate in this time. 'Mineral resources exploitation cooperation'. So it is necessary to know Li Mo.

Looking at the young man with a natural color in front of him, He Bin suddenly felt that he was old. A young man in his twenties is still a student in China. Even if he comes out to work, he is still struggling at the bottom of any industry. However, the young man in front of him is obviously a little 'evil'. He has cooperated with the country many times at a young age and is valued by the country, and he can also establish a career in a chaotic place like Somalia. Why don't you let him, who is 40 years old this year, sigh that the waves of the Yangtze River push forward?

Several people first chatted casually, and Lei Zhen and Ding Huiqiang passed on a few glances secretly from time to time. They were all guessing the reason why Li Mo suddenly came to Mogadishu.

Whether they are jealous or not, they can't deny that Li Mo is now more 'busy at work' than them. In this case, he will never come to Mogadishu to visit his old friends.

"Lei leader, I'm here this time for the copper mine. How have you been in contact with the Somali political axe during this period? Li Mo suddenly changed the topic and mentioned the matter of copper mining.

I have been guessing Li Mo's intention in my heart, and I was stunned at the same time. At the beginning, Li Mo said that copper mining would not start until the end of the Soakin border conflict. Now why are you in a hurry to come to ask about this matter? Is there something going on on the other side of the border?

The floating thunder shock replied quietly on his face, "The domestic machinery and equipment have been ready to be loaded on the ship for a long time, and it will arrive here in about a month and a half. Somalia's political axe has agreed that China, Somalia and Li Mo will cooperate in the development of this copper mine. Their condition is that they can't reduce the proportion of shares held by Somali Zheng Axe, that is to say, Huaxia Zheng Axe and you can hold a total of 60% of the shares, which will be decided by us in consultation with you.

"Li Mo, can you already control the copper mine?" As soon as Lei Zhen finished speaking, Li Guoqing on one side asked anxiously. He is the head of the 'commercial investigation team' that Huaxia came to Somalia, and he has only one task, that is, copper mining cooperation. Therefore, the most urgent thing about whether this copper mine can be mined as soon as possible is Li Guoqing.

Although Li Mo also wanted to develop this copper mine as soon as possible, it is not to mention that the mining equipment has not been shipped yet. Even the tribal problem that currently occupies the copper mine, he can't solve it. The purpose of his coming today is to get money, not to discuss what to mine copper.

"Of course not. The border has added a lot of variables because of the secret participation of the United States. At present, I don't have the strength to affect the state of Gado. It's the territory of luck, and it won't work without their consent. Today, I mean to ask you for money. Li Mo shook his head and explained. The last sentence shocked several people in the room.

Do you want money? Several people looked at each other and seemed to want to know who owed Li Mo money. But everyone is shaking their heads to say that they are not themselves.

"Li Mo, aren't you joking? What kind of money do you ask us for? This sentence is naturally asked by Lei Zhen, who is 'intimate' with Li Mo.

"Of course, I can say that I borrowed money from you." Li Mo nodded, looking really like this.

Several people also understand that Li Mo is going to borrow money from Huaxia Zhengxu. As for Li Mo's lack of money, this is easy to explain. Let's go to war. Spending money must be like running water. However, people have never met such a way of borrowing money and people who borrow money. They didn't know how to answer for a moment.

Sure enough, Li Mo's next words undoubtedly proved their speculation.

"You also know that there is a war on my side, which is also part of the cooperation with you. At the beginning, the conditions for cooperation were that political axes would support part of my funds and some technicians. The technician is not in a hurry for the time being, but you have to give me the money first. Moreover, I won't say much about the equipment and technology you have issued in the copper mine in Gaddo. Everyone accounts for half of 60% of the shares, and I will take 30% of the shares as collateral to borrow money from you. How much can you lend to me? Li Mo also knew that his words were too 'shocking', so he tried to speak slowly in a more peaceful voice.

But I didn't know that this passage made Lei Zhen's hearts flucry. Why does Li Mo want so much money? One of the conditions promised by the secret cooperation with the country to contain the weakening of Kenya's powerful countries is to secretly support part of Li Mo's funds. The money was originally negotiated at 16 million US dollars, but it could not be given to Li Mo at one time, but given in batches based on Li Mo's actual record in the Soken conflict. Li Mo doesn't care too much about this amount of money now. After all, the amount before this money is not much. There are only more than 10 million US dollars in total.

But Li Mo wanted to use 30% of the shares of the copper mine as collateral to borrow money from Huaxia Zheng Axe. How much is the 30% share of a medium-sized copper mine, at least worth hundreds of millions of dollars. Li Mo urgently needs so much money now. Is it really just to fight with Kenya?

Lei Zhen's face became serious. This kind of capital turnover involving hundreds of millions of dollars, neither he nor the others present have the power to decide, which requires domestic senior officials to make a decision. Moreover, this kind of 'financing' non-politically armed capital flow is impossible to remit money openly, which involves multiple transfers to avoid the exploration of other national intelligence agencies, which is very troublesome.

"Li Mo, tell me the truth, what are you going to do with so much money? You should know that this is not up to us. Lei Zhen asked in a low voice, staring at Li Mo with sharp eyes, trying to find something on his face.

Among the four major members of Huaxia, only Li Guoqing, the deputy minister of the Overseas Development Department of Metal Group, was the most pleased with Li Mo's proposal. Huaxia is a copper mine importing country. If we can hold 30% of the copper mine shares held by Li Mo, plus 40% of the shares in the hands of Somalia, it can be said that as long as it is a little better, all the metal copper produced by this medium-sized copper mine can be shipped back to China as China's industrial raw materials and national defense raw materials. It's a great credit to him. But he also understood that in fact, he could not make the decision here, so he had to look at Lei Zhen and Ding Huiqiang dryly, hoping that they could agree.

Li Mo smiled indifferently and replied, "Lei Team Leader, don't worry about this. You can report my proposal to China and let the senior management decide. But this matter should be done as soon as possible. I urgently need this money here. Of course, he will not directly say that he will use this money to buy the 'Lion King Infantry Vehicle'. Although many things have been revealed to China by him, it does not mean that the Star Organization has no secrets.

"Ha ha, I think the idea put forward by Li Mo is very good. Team Leader Lei, if you don't want to cooperate with Li Mo, our company can cooperate with Li Mo in the form of commercial cooperation, and our company can still get hundreds of millions of dollars. Li Guoqing, who had been impatient for a long time, saw that the situation was not good and interrupted immediately. As a large state-owned enterprise, Huaxia Metal Group can indeed take out hundreds of millions of dollars to 'buy' 30% of Li Mo's shares at any time. What Li Guoqing hopes most now is that Li Mo can agree to his proposal. Although Li Mo's cooperation with Lei Zhen seems to be no different from his own cooperation, the shares of the copper mine are in the hands of Huaxia in the end, but there is a big difference between him.

Lei Zhen's mind moved, and Li Guoqing's words were not unreasonable. There are indeed great risks and troubles in cooperating with Li Mo in the name of Zheng Axe, but in the way of commercial cooperation, let Huaxia Metal Group cooperate with Li Mo's Mineral Resources Development Company. The share trading between the two is purely commercial cooperation. Intelligence organizations of other countries only pay attention to it at most and will not be alert. Ti.

No matter who Li Moke cooperates with, what he needs most is money. As long as he gets hundreds of millions of dollars, Mingzhu Army can quickly have several mechanized infantry regiments, and his strength can be upgraded to a higher level. And he didn't pay attention to the shares of the copper mine. Thinking of Li Yanran's reminder last night, Li Mo got the shares of the copper mine, and most of the mined copper ore or smelted metal copper were also sold to others. The base doesn't need that much at all. So whether this share is the same or not. It's better to sell it now and buy infantry fighting vehicles.

If his demand for mineral resources increases in the future, he can 'cooperation' with Somalia's political axe again. Somalia has more than this copper mine.

Lei Zhen was also helpless about Li Mo's refusal to answer. The two were just a cooperative relationship, not a subordinate relationship, and he could not force Li Mo to answer. Li Mo's proposal is indeed beneficial to China. He has no reason to object. However, Lei Zhen was very interested in the reason why Li Mo urgently needed such a large amount of money. He secretly decided in his heart that if he wanted Fan Qingqing to set up Li Mo later, he would have to let the intelligence people pay more attention to it.

"I will return your proposal to China, and I will reply to you in the next two days at most. As for the money I promised you at the beginning, I won't give you all. The first amount is in my hand, but it's only 3 million US dollars. I can give this to you now." Lei Zhen thought for a thought and thought it was better to help Li Mo. After all, the more Li Mo did, the more beneficial it was to Huaxia and him.

Li Mo's face showed a satisfied smile. He hadn't paid attention to the 3 million US dollars. The main purpose of this time was the funds that copper shares could be exchanged. However, no matter how small the mosquito is, it is still meat. At least 3 million US dollars is enough to cook a month's salary for officers and soldiers.
