Chapter 475 Mudege Large Oilfield
Outside the delivery room guarded by the women's detachment, Li Mo saw a large group of people gathering there waiting. Among them are Hussein, the chief of staff, Wang Ning, the minister of the intelligence department, Li Yanran and other women, and his mother Fang Yuxiang.
"Mom, where are the dads?" Li Mo first said hello to everyone before he came to the place where several women gathered and asked in a low voice. I don't see two inexplicable glances on my body.
"Where have you been, you stinky boy? Just now, Qingyue had been clamoring to see you. If Yanran hadn't persuaded her, my grandson would not have suffered much!" Fang Yuxiang smiled at Li Yanran and others, took Li Mo's hand and walked aside and said viciously.
Li Mo smiled and couldn't help explaining aggrievedly, "How did I know that your grandson would be in a hurry to come out at this time? Aren't I going to go out for a walk in my spare time?"
Fang Yuxiang was also bullied by her son's nonsense. She shook her head helplessly and said, "Your father went to accompany Li Yanran's parents. Yanran's parents have a big opinion on you this time. Sooner or later, they will give you a hard time! Forget it, I won't talk to you anymore. I'll talk to Yanran. I can see that Yanran is not very happy!"
During the waiting time, many people came one after another. The senior management of the Star Organization has basically come. It's not good if you don't come. This time, the child of the big boss was born. According to the usual practice, he will be the first successor of the organization in the future. Of course, this has to be under the premise that the born child is a boy and the support of Li Mo and the senior management of the organization. After all, in everyone's eyes, Li Yanran is Li Mo's real wife.
An hour later, the door of the delivery room, which was stared at by everyone, finally opened, and two nurses came out with a baby in their arms.
Everyone suddenly gathered around, and most people naturally glanced at the baby's lower body. Although they couldn't see anything, everyone was very eager to know whether the baby was male or female.
"Ah... it's a man... I have a grandson!" The fastest running is not the father of Li Mo, but the grandmother Fang Yuxiang. Regardless of other people's strange eyes, she directly removed her grandson's legs and looked at them carefully, with a happy smile.
After the nurse left with the baby in her arms, Li Mo was surrounded by a group of people to congratulate him. Most of them are Chinese here. The difference between having a son and having a daughter has long been deeply rooted in the bone marrow of everyone.
And Li Mo, the father, naturally couldn't close his mouth with a smile. That's more pleasant than a big victory.
"Where's my grandson... Where's my grandson?" Just then, there was a shout from outside. A figure rushed in quickly and shook his head and looked around.
"Dad, why are you here?" As soon as Li Mo saw the arrival, he hurried over and asked. Because it was his father, Li Haojun, who came.
Speaking of which, Li Haojun, who was originally an ordinary farmer, has changed a lot in the past few years. At least on the surface, it is difficult to see the simplicity of the former peasants, and the whole person is more and more like a modern person who is in line with 'international standards'.
Seeing so many people here, Li Haojun smiled shyly, stared at his son and whispered, "I finally found an excuse to sneak back. Where's my grandson? Let me have a look!"
"I'm checking it, it's coming out!" Li Mo was surprised how his father knew it was a grandson rather than a granddaughter, but he answered quickly.
Li Haojun's expression relaxed when he heard the words, so he stopped talking to his son and went to his wife to inquire about the news.
After the others stayed for a while and learned that everything was normal for the baby, they dispersed one by one. Everyone has a job in their hands, and they can't stay here. In the end, Li Mo's family was left. Before Hussein left, Li Mo asked him to withdraw all the guards outside. He and the women's team were here, and there would be no accident.
In the next few days, Li Mo almost stayed in the hospital with Liu Qingyue and his son. Li Yanran and Jiang Feifei were reluctant to leave because of something in the industrial park. Although they were a little jealous of Liu Qingyue's son, they were not jealous. In their eyes, Liu Qingyue's children are naturally their own children. When they treat children, there is only love, and there are no other bad ideas.
On this day, Li Mo, who was teasing his son, suddenly received the news that Wang Ning came to the hospital to find him, and immediately left the room reluctantly.
"Boss, the north is over!" In the next room, Wang Ning said a message that everyone expected.
"Oh? It's finally over! These people's combat effectiveness is still very strong. It took more than ten days to finish!" Li Mo knew that Wang Ning was talking about the civil war that broke out in Somaliland. It has been 11 days since the Islamic Court Alliance attacked the city of Somaliland. With less than 2,000 armed forces, it is enough to hold on in Africa under the siege of nearly half of the troops in Somaliland.
Wang Ning nodded and said, "There was also a little accident. The Ethiopian Air Force suddenly crossed the border this morning and bombed a stronghold of the Islamic Courts Union in Zera, which made the war end so soon!"
"What?" Li Mo's face changed slightly and he asked loudly. Ethiopia suddenly intervened in the civil war in Somaliland? What does this mean? It shows that Ethiopia and Somaliland have secretly reached certain agreements. You know, Ethiopia has had several armed conflicts and even wars with Somaliland due to territorial disputes over the border. Now it's amazing that the two enemies suddenly join hands.
If Ethiopia and Somaliland had just joined forces on this civil war, Li Mo would not have had such a big reaction. He was afraid that Ethiopia would have secretly reached a long-term alliance. This will cause great trouble and add many variables to the recovery of Somaliland by the Somali Defense Forces in the future.
"Now we haven't found out the reason. Even if we bribed a deputy brigade commander of the Somaliland military, we didn't get any reason for the Ethiopian Air Force to assist Somaliland in fighting the Islamic Court Alliance." Wang Ning said with a solemn face. Even officers at the deputy brigade commander level do not know the inside story, which must be a very high-level agreement, and once such a high-level agreement is reached, it will not affect this civil war, but may also affect the cooperation between the two sides in other aspects in the future.
"It seems that our next step is to improve the strength of the Somali Air Force!" Li Mo frowned and pondered for a long time before he decided to ignore this matter for the time being and improve his strength first.
......
In mid-August 2006, a piece of news from Somalia once again attracted a lot of attention. A large oil field with preliminarily estimated recoverable reserves of 15 million tons was found in the Mudeg region of the pontland region of Somalia. However, Huaxia Oil Group is responsible for the survey this time.
Somalia has always been recognized as an oil-poor country. Although it has a total of 200 billion cubic feet of natural gas, because Somalia has always been in the midst of war, several foreign companies have been trembling to exploit it. However, since the establishment of the New Deal in Somalia, the natural gas has been confiscated by the Somali political axe on the grounds that the agreement was invalid.
Since the Palamin Cook Army controlled the Somali Defense Forces, it has followed Li Mo's instructions. The military and political axe departments survey and record all mineral resources throughout Somalia. Some mineral resources with rich reserves but held in the hands of the big tribe were also taken by Li Mo by all means.
In 2006, after the co-mining of copper mining, Li Mo cooperated with relevant Huaxia companies to mine two iron mines, which not only brought him a large amount of urgently needed funds, but also brought a large amount of dividends to the Somali political axe. This money not only meets the current financial expenditure of the political axe, but also secretly flows into the hands of various parties. It is because of the benefits brought by mineral resources that other forces in Somalia have not seen the wanton 'selling' of minerals by the Palamin cooking army.
Although these mineral resources have brought a large amount of money to Li Mo, it is still a drop in the bucket for the development organization and the armed National Defense Force. In two transactions with Ukrainian arms dealer Nazyrov, Li Mo paid $125 million. It is equivalent to the military expenditure of most African countries in a year even more than that.
Li Mo's ambition is not only there. After the new generation of 'Lion King' 2 infantry fighting vehicles, he plans to replace the 'Lion King' 1 infantry fighting vehicles of the three armored forces with Type 2. At the same time, it also needs a large amount of financial support to increase the combat effectiveness of the air force.
The exploitation of oil and gas resources in Somalia is regarded as an important thing for Li Mo. The large oil field found in Buntland this time is the result of his joint survey with Huaxia Zheng Axe.
15 million tons of recoverable reserves, at the current price of international crude oil at the price of $70 per barrel, the total value of this oil field is more than $7 billion. Moreover, Li Mo knows that the price of $70 per barrel is only the average oil price this year. In two or three years, the oil price will exceed 100 dollars per barrel, and the value of this oil field will reach 10 billion. Even if Li Mo only got one-third of it, it was a huge number.
However, the oil field can obviously not be exploited in a year. If calculated based on the annual exploitation of 1 million tons of crude oil, the annual revenue on oil will be about 100 million US dollars. But is Li Mo the kind of person who waits slowly? What he wants is not an oil field that can bring him long-term benefits, but an oil field that can bring him enough benefits for a time.
When foreign oil companies heard the news, Li Mo also issued several orders. Then he took someone to Mogadishu, and he knew it was time to talk to Lei Zhen and others. Presumably, Huaxia is very interested in this oil field. In order to get enough benefits, this oil field has become an important weight for Li Mo.
