"Damn, damn Muhammad, he is committing a crime, and he is leading the family to the abyss." Moulay Sheidi's face was livid with anger, he was breathing heavily, and his chest kept heaving.

Why Moulay Sheidi has a high reputation in the military is because he also played an important role in Morocco's fight for independence.

It was not only his father and brother who were imprisoned by the French, but also him!

You can substitute an old military officer from the Anti-Japanese War period.

Although Morocco is now heavily dependent on France economically for various reasons, and the two sides have very deep cooperation, and their relationship can be compared to that of China and Japan, it does not mean that they have forgotten their hatred.

Of course, all this has nothing to do with the little brat Mohammed VI.

When this little boy was born, Morocco was already independent, and the country was in the honeymoon period with France or Europeans. He did not have this kind of hatred, but had a "Hafa" tendency. Well, he still took on the role of Sino-Japanese relations.

Therefore, when it comes to opening up the domestic market and signing the Association Agreement, this little brat supports it.

Of course, even without him, Hassan II still had to do what he had to do. It was nothing more than opening up less and slower. It was just that Muhammad VI was younger, more radical, consciously had a longer-term vision, and was more open-minded.

More trust, a better world...

Moreover, there are also many conservatives in Morocco, Moulay Sheidi is one of them. The major nobles in the country also do not like to let go and let those Western wolves enter Morocco. They have no confidence that they can compete. That is

It is destroying the foundation of their existence.

If you eat well, live a good life, have a high income, and have a high status, why should you take great risks to carry out changes?

In any era and in any political system, those with current vested interests are obstacles to ‘reform’.

"Okay, Sean, I think you didn't come to me just to see the scenery. Tell me, what are you going to do?" Moulay Sheedy looked at Sean with a serious face.

"Do you want to be the king of Morocco?" Sean suddenly said.

Moulay Sheedy: “…”

After staring at Sean for a full five minutes, Moulay Sheedy frowned and said, "If it was a few days ago, then no problem."

"No, no, no, it's not too late now. It depends on whether you are decisive enough." Sean smiled and said, "Many things are not as troublesome as you think. The plane crashed and everyone on the plane died. It's a pity.

, but aircraft safety issues have always existed, haven’t they.”

"You're crazy!" Moulay Sheidi was startled, looked around warily, as if he were a thief, and shouted in a low voice: "How can it be so easy?"

"As long as the investigators are your people, you can say whatever you want to say about the outcome of the matter!"

"That's impossible. My brother has just been assassinated. Now if his son has another problem, then I will never be able to ascend the throne!" Moulay Sheidi roared in a low voice.

Sean: Uh...

Li Shimin must be more experienced in this matter.

"That doesn't matter, just put him under house arrest and directly ascend the throne." Sean waved his hand indifferently.

"That's called a military coup, and it won't be recognized by anyone at all!" Moulay Sheidi looked at Sean with distrust in his eyes. Damn it, don't you call it Pu?

…

He regretted coming.

"The United States recognizes you, is this enough?" Sean looked at him sideways.

Moulay Sheidi frowned, lowered his head in thought, and after a while, shook his head, "Not enough."

"Huh?" Sean sat up and looked over with interest, "Tell me the reason. There is no problem that cannot be solved. Wherever there are difficulties, we will solve them."

"The biggest problem is the economic problem..."

…

Mohammed VI visited Europe secretly for a week. Of course, this secret visit was relatively accessible to ordinary people.

Most of the time, the so-called negotiation results have been determined before going to the negotiating table, and the differences are just details.

Mohammed VI not only met with the President of France and the Prime Minister of Spain, but also secretly visited Switzerland and Italy. Due to time constraints, he also had phone calls with leaders of several other countries.

After giving up some of his interests and gaining the support of European countries, his path to the throne will be smooth.

While Mohammed VI was visiting various places, Moulay Sheidi was not idle after returning to Morocco. He also secretly visited several major nobles in the country.

The cake in Morocco is so big. The Europeans are capitalists, not philanthropists. They have only one purpose, and that is to make money!

So where does this money come from?

In a manor, Moulay Sheidi sat across from several old men.

"It's difficult for us to stop him." After knowing Moulay Sheidi's purpose, an old man pondered for a while and then shook his head and said, "You may not know much about exports. At present, the largest comprehensive business in our family is agriculture and sugar.

, olives, olive oil, fruits and vegetables, etc.”

"The price of fresh fruits and vegetables in Morocco is much lower than that in Spain and France, but here the time from picking to entering the terminal, to being transported to the other terminal, getting on the bus, and being distributed to the hands of the French people does not take more than 24 hours." Another old man said:

"Forty percent of our population is engaged in agriculture."

"20% of canned sardines in Europe come from Morocco."

"But at the same time, we import a large amount of wheat from France every year to meet domestic demand. Once we completely fall out with France, they just need to stop exporting wheat, and then we will be finished. Louis Dreyfus has this ability."

"Our phosphate chemical industry and auto parts manufacturing industry are all exported to Europe. The economy is deeply tied up. It is not what it was more than 10 years ago."

"Why did we fall out? This is just our internal business. We will not take any external actions. All we want is to maintain the status quo." Moulay Sheidi said with a smile: "As for the food issue, Louis Dreyfus is not the only one in the world.

, we can definitely get the food we want from America."

"Ha." The old man smiled and shook his head, "Moulay Sheidi, don't try to lie to me. There is no such thing as a free lunch in this world. They choose to support you and they won't ask for nothing. Morocco only has so many things.

, since they support you, they must snatch benefits from the Europeans, right?"

"Sorry, I didn't hide what you meant. How they compete with the French is their business. All we need to do is watch the show." Moulay Sheedy said with a smile: "The Americans don't

Hopefully the Europeans will continue to expand.”

…

"And we are Arabs!"

"We need guarantees!" Several old people thought for a while and said.

Moulay Sheidi looked a little embarrassed, "It's not that I don't want you to meet, but that timid guy is unwilling to enter Morocco at this time."

"Cowardly?!" Several old men looked strange.

"Yes, at least that's what I think. He has to have several warships guarding him every time he swims!"

"puff!!"

Several families refused to let go of the eagle, and finally agreed to secretly meet with the timid boss of the world's largest private military company.

…

This meeting was not on a yacht, but on the flagship of the Umbrella Company.

It was the first time for these old guys to discuss business with people on a real modern warship. It was quite novel, so Sean specially asked someone to show them around.

This is definitely not a deterrent by force!

What bad intentions could the enthusiastic Sean have?

More than an hour later...

"Let me introduce, ADM Belloc Tunney, one of the major grain merchants in the United States, whose main business is sugar, oil, and grains." Sean pointed to Child Oscar and introduced: "Whether it is the issue of grain imports or exports

Problems, in fact, are not problems.”

"Ha, I hope Louis Dreyfus gives up this part of the market." Sean sneered, "But unfortunately, no one can beat the French, they surrender too smoothly!"

The old men suppressed smiles on their faces. Well, they don't like the French either.

"Let me introduce again, this is Childe Oscar from Mosaic Company," Sean continued, "Mosheng Company is the largest provider of phosphate ore and the third largest fertilizer manufacturer in the United States."

"Can these two give you confidence?" After Sean introduced the people, he put his legs on the coffee table, held his head high, and looked proud.

This is what Westerners do.

A few old men chatted with the two, and instantly decided that the two biggest difficulties were food supply and the development of the phosphate industry. Of course, they couldn't show it on their faces, "There are still many problems, such as textile exports, fisheries, fruits and vegetables, etc.

mechanical……"

"Okay!" Sean waved his hand impatiently and interrupted: "I'm not your nanny, I won't care so much!"

Ignoring the ugly faces of the old men, Sean said to himself: "There must be losses. Nothing is 100%. If there are any, please call me!"

"How old are you? Stop playing tricks like this with me."

"Either you choose the Europeans to open up the market, and then they are cannibalized bit by bit. The market is in their hands and you have no chance!"

"Either cooperate with me, endure temporary losses, and continue to maintain the status quo. I don't believe the French and Spanish have so many choices."

As he said that, Sean sneered, "The French are so brave, so they won't surrender so quickly. When it's obvious that they can't succeed, they will just try to maintain it."

"With us Americans here, they don't dare to use force, so they don't have much to do."

"Is it okay? In one sentence, if it's not okay, just leave it like this. I'll eat Caesar and the French will eat Morocco."

Several old men looked at each other. Before, they just looked at Sean's youth and wanted to get more benefits or protection. Now, damn, this young man doesn't know how to respect the elderly and care for the young.

…

"What are the conditions?"

"A naval base, an air force base, permanent, this is what the higher ups want." Sean raised the price several times. In fact, Reagan only wanted a naval base.

"Don't look at me like that." Sean snorted coldly, "Building a base is only good for you, there is no harm."

"You can't create a great Moroccan empire. The Europeans won't let it happen, and the Americans won't agree. It's obvious."

"If the US military builds a base here, then the problem in Algeria will no longer be a big problem, and you can save a lot on military expenses."

"The U.S. military spends a lot of money here every year. It can make a lot of money just by guaranteeing supplies. Hmm, one base in the Philippines accounts for 15% of their total GDP."

"You're making money, it's not shabby. Americans have little interest in your market. To put it bluntly, your annual GDP is about the same as the turnover of my company."

Sean's rude sarcasm made the old men feel at ease.

It’s better if you don’t like it, but don’t like it!

The Europeans keep thinking about Morocco just because they are attracted to it. They are so annoyed!

A few old men took Moulay Sheidi and discussed quietly for a while. Generally speaking, they can agree that it is just two bases and does not pose any threat to Morocco... Well, after all, they are weak enough.

It just doesn’t look good, but in Arab countries, no one should laugh at anyone!

Now Moulay Sheedy is not as high-spirited as before.

Seeing that they agreed, a smile appeared on Sean's face, he lowered his legs from the coffee table, and his tone became polite, "Come on, come on, I'm done talking about the annoying things above, let's talk about myself."

Moulay Sheedy: “…”

Good guys, people including ADM and Mosaic think Sean is going a bit too far!

It doesn't matter if you change your face, but don't make it so obvious!

Can't you just act?

It's too bare-bones.

"I want all the current and future mining rights of phosphate mines in Morocco!!" Sean came up and said loudly!

"This is impossible!" Moulay Sheidi jumped up immediately, his face red and his neck thick, as if he wanted to eat someone.

The phosphate mining industry is not only the pillar of Morocco, but mining is also the economic pillar of the royal family. Most of the income goes into the pockets of the royal family. The Moroccan royal family is the eighth richest royal family in the world.

What about the Spanish royal family, what about Norway, Sweden, the United Kingdom... Bah, disgusting!

Ashamed to be associated with him!

Sean just looked at the roaring Moulay Sheedy quietly, waiting for him to finish, and then said slowly: "At present, there is no business that I have personally negotiated that cannot be negotiated!"

Moulay Sheidi's momentum suddenly weakened. What he said was too loud. He opened his mouth but didn't know how to reply.

"Although you are a royal family, you actually don't make much profit from the entire mining industry." Sean looked at the people present.

The royal family does not exist alone. The heads of several families on site are all royal in-laws and have royal blood.

"I am a businessman. Only when I get a reasonable income will I be motivated to promote some things, such as the above. If I don't get a reasonable income, then I would rather destroy him. I say this frankly.

"?" Sean's voice had no emotion, but it made a few people's heads buzz.

…

"The premise is reasonable, isn't it!" Moulay Sheidi gritted his teeth and said.

"Of course, the premise is reasonable!" Sean smiled. "As far as I know, in the current mining process, the royal family only controls 38% of the shares, which basically guarantees a veto power, and more shares are in France.

In the hands of Spanish and British people."

"And America!!" Moulay Sheedy snorted.

Sean looked at the people at Legg Mason, and Childe Oscar whispered: "In the hands of an investment bank on Wall Street, Theodore Investment Bank, there is not much around 8%."

After picking up the phone, Sean called Old David directly in front of everyone, "Fifth Grandpa, I want to acquire the shares of the Moroccan Phosphate Company (OCP) held by Theodore Investment Bank on Wall Street."

Old man David was taken aback for a moment, quite adamant, but he still replied directly: "How much premium will you accept?"

"20%!"

"Okay, I'll help you do it."

"Okay, thank you Grandpa Wu, hang up." Sean said and hung up directly.

Old Man David:???

Damn it, little brat!

"Now!" Sean raised his head and looked around, "Right away, these shares will be mine. Not only that, I also want the shares in the hands of the French, Spanish and British."

Sean smiled and looked at Moulay Sheedy.

"They won't sell it to you, even if you pay 20% more!" Moulay Sheidi shook his head and said.

"Of course, of course they won't sell it to me. The problem is that I don't want to give them money!" Sean smiled and spread his hands.

"Then what do you mean?"

"The French, Spanish, including the British, secretly reached an agreement with Mohammed VI, a traitorous agreement!" Sean said to himself: "And they used this as a bargaining chip to try to intervene in the succession issue of the King of Morocco. This is...

Interfering in Morocco's internal affairs and undermining its stability are absolutely not allowed."

"In view of this behavior, King Moulay Sheidi will exercise his rights to confiscate some of the properties of businessmen from the three countries in Morocco, namely the shares of the Moroccan Phosphate Company, and give them to more benevolent West African mining companies."

"Well, what do you think, His Majesty the King of Morocco?"

"This... is a bit much." Moulay Sheidi swallowed. He liked the title King of Morocco and didn't think there was any problem with this kind of thing. Several countries were indeed digging at the foundation of the royal family, and revenge was natural.

.

But the problem is, he can't do it, he doesn't dare.

"They are going to kill you, what the hell is there to do?" Sean rolled his eyes, you are so timid, "No, these should not be the only things confiscated, it should be all French assets

, British capital!!”

"Are you crazy!" Moulay Sheidi was frightened and jumped up again.

"Are you stupid? You don't understand this. When doing business, shouldn't you leave room for buyers to bargain?" Sean looked at the other party with hatred, "At the negotiation table, you give in once and then again.

, to make negotiators feel a sense of accomplishment and finally control the bottom line."

"Those companies that have escaped will not object to this result, but will support it. It is not them who lose, understand!" This principle is like cutting holes in the roof, Sean explained.

…

"You..." Moulay Sheedy wanted to say that Sean is really a dog. You take the advantage and let me take the blame. France, Spain, and the United Kingdom will not eat him by then.

"King Moulay Sheidi, you have to understand that you have to pay for what you get. This king's position is not for nothing, what do you think?"

"But what about you!" Moulay Sheidi was so angry that you didn't do anything except beating me hard, causing heavy losses to the Moroccan army, and taking away a large part of Morocco's land.

"As long as I am here, there is support from the United States. The United States will not stand up immediately. When you confiscate their property in Morocco and fall into a critical moment under siege by several countries, the United States will stand up and speak out. A naval base

!”

"At this point, they will understand that excessive persecution will only send Morocco into the hands of the United States. You are not so naive as to think that Europe and the United States are really of the same mind."

Moulay Sheidi shook his head, how could it be possible? The establishment of the European Community could not be aimed at Africa.

Sean continued to hold out a second finger, "When your negotiations reach a deadlock, the United States will stand up for the second time and clearly support you in becoming king and building an air base. Do you understand what I mean?!"

Of course Moulay Sheedy understands, relying on the United States to respect Europe!

This is the art of balance.

"Cisa, you have to come out." Moulay Sheidi thought for a while and said.

"Let me tell you clearly." Sean chuckled, "The United States supports you in taking over this time. It wants nothing but two bases, and will help you tide over the difficulties. But this does not mean that it is not prepared for you. That is too much.

So naive!”

"Xisa is here to check and balance you, so returning all the land to you is unrealistic!"

"The land will give you two-thirds of what you originally owned, but the phosphate mine on it is mine. I have no plans to get involved in other minerals for the time being."

"The south including Dakhla is for Western Sahara, but I can guarantee that in recent years you will be able to live in peace and develop your respective economies."

Moulay Sheidi thought for a while, looked at each other with a few old people, and agreed.

"A very wise choice!" Sean said with a smile: "Resisting Europe's prying eyes on Morocco and taking back some of the European industries as state-owned will be enough to restore your reputation."

"Finally, he recovered most of the lost territory of Western Caesar. The sum of these many achievements is enough to paint his military coup with a layer of gold."

"No, how can this be called a military coup?" Sean clapped his hands fiercely, "This is called turning the tide of Morocco from collapse, this is called taking orders in times of crisis, this is called reviving Morocco!"

Every time Sean said a word, the corners of Moulay Sheedy's mouth curled up, and in the end he couldn't help but laugh out loud. Seeing Sean, his enemy, became more pleasing to the eye... He spoke so well, I liked it very much.

.

At this age, Moulay Sheedy has enjoyed nothing. What matters most now is a ‘name’.

Seeing that Moulay Sheedy was happy, Sean said again: "In addition, instead of pinning all hopes for economic development on Europe, it is better to take advantage of your own advantages."

"With a population of 23 million, this is not a small market. Spain only has 37 million people. It is within your control to vigorously develop the domestic market."

"There is a saying in the East that is very good, you need to be strong yourself to make iron. If you can't develop it domestically, how can you develop a crappy European market?"

"It is located on the African continent. What a great geographical location, but the development vision is really bad!" Sean complained, which made Moulay Sheidi and others blush.
