You're president of a big country. You've just displaced the leadership of another country and have assumed control of its rebuilding.
Next year is election year, and the polls indicate it's going to be close. You realise financial backing for the campaign will be very important if you're still to have a chance at re-election.
But you can feel a certain squeeze from your larger sources of funding.
Company A has approached you. It's seen an opportunity to expand its business into the second country which is temporarily under your rule, but needs your help to get a foothold in the market. You'll need to control who is allowed to compete in the market to allow Company A to take a sizable share.
In return Company A will make financial contributions to your party, allowing you more money to fund your re-election campaign.
Company B have been contributing to the party for many years. You're aware they too could benefit from expansion into the country concerned.
You realise that helping the company now will ensure their continued, and perhaps greater support for future years.
So, do you manipulate the second country for the benefit of Company A so as to give yourself the best possible chance of keeping leadership of your own nation ?
What about for Company B ?
And, do you think it matters which companies take control in this other country ? - Is it important whther they come from within or outside said country ?
