Seeing Yang Deshan holding Feng Rui face to face for advice, Cao Mo told Song Yuqing his plan.
After registering an import and export trading company in China, you can bring the official seal, financial seal, etc. to Kanem with you. However, if you really want to implement bulk commodity import and export trade, you actually need to find another counterpart in the country.
Traders or manufacturers for docking.
The main function of the trading company he registered is to serve as a bridge for capital flow, or as a reservoir for him to transfer profits from Kanem.
These operations are actually quite cumbersome and require constant communication with domestic companies. Cao Mo wanted to ask Song Yuqing to help him do these things.
"You are still making new investments in Kanem. How much money can you transfer back to China in a year?" Song Yuqing asked curiously.
"According to the current situation, if part of the profits are transferred back to the country through trade, I estimate that it will be around four to five million US dollars a year - it is hard to say how much it will be in the future," Cao Mo said.
"So much!" Song Yuqing knew that Cao Mo actually controlled the Yibogu gold mine, the cement factory and the power company, but she didn't expect that Cao Mo continued to make new investments every year and could transfer so much additional profits to the country.
"Did you really rob the bank?"
"Bah, it's better to rob you than to rob the bank," Cao Mo spat at Song Yuqing and said, "I originally didn't consider transferring part of the profits to the country. The new profits in the next year can almost be invested in new water, electricity and cement.
The construction of production capacity is called Taihua, and the Jidam family is involved in disrupting the situation. They feel a little guilty and always want to leave a way out for themselves. However, in order to transfer part of the profits back to the country, the funds for new construction are not enough.
I have a bad headache."
Cao Mo told Song Yuqing his plan to directly build a medium-sized stepped hydropower station on the Ibogu River: "On the one hand, the transmission network will be completed years ago. After the medium-sized hydropower station is completed, even if the construction of the new cement plant is delayed, the transmission network will be used to
Dracula Moor can supply an additional 100 million kilowatt-hours, which actually brings in pretty good profits; more importantly, I still want to make good use of the next dry season to build the dam. Otherwise, it will be delayed for four or five months before starting, and the dry season will be missed, which will affect the entire hydropower station.
The construction cycle will be extended by four to five months by the next rainy season, which adds up to almost a year. However, even considering that after three or four months, the cement storm will gradually subside and the price will fall back to
At the level at the beginning of the year, the investment in this hydropower station was still as high as 18 million U.S. dollars. To be honest, if I hadn't realized that Taihua was interested in smuggling with the Jidam family, I didn't want to get too involved with them.
I plan to let them participate in investing in the construction of one or two hydropower stations, so I won't have so much financial pressure."
"Your cooperation with the Felician family is similar to the bot model. Have you ever thought about using the bot model to ask China Civil Engineering Construction Corporation to undertake the construction of this hydropower station?" Song Yuqing asked.
"Bot?" Cao Mo dropped out of high school and was born in Yeluzi. He couldn't figure out what the three letters "bot" meant for a while.
Song Yuqing couldn't help but look at Hengcaomo with disdain. She didn't know how such a wild guy could cause so many things in Yibogu, and said:
"Bot is the abbreviation of construction, operation and transfer. It is usually a cooperation model between the government and private institutions for infrastructure investment, construction and operation. If the construction permit of the Iboko River medium-sized hydropower station is legal and compliant, you
After all the procedures have been completed, the financing, construction and operation within a certain period of time can be temporarily handed over to China Civil Engineering Construction Corporation for full responsibility. After the specified number of years, they will recover the construction costs and sufficient profits from operations, and then transfer the facilities and
The operating rights are transferred to you free of charge. The simplified version of the bt model is to entrust CCECC with full authority. After completion, you directly pay the full project price and then take over the hydropower station. If the transmission network has not been started before, it is impossible for CCECC to negotiate with you.
The commissioned construction, after all, is too risky to pass the risk control within their group. However, the transmission network is currently being constructed by China Civil Engineering Construction Corporation, and they know very well that building hydropower stations in the upstream is a stable income project. Internal risk assessment
It will also be very fast. They advance funds for construction at this time. Even if you cannot pay the project payment after completion, they will continue to have the right to operate the hydropower station and deduct the project payment from the operating income step by step, so the risk becomes limited.
...Bt or bot, or you can negotiate a terms between bot and bt. It depends on how you arrange your own funds?"
"It's so complicated!" Cao Mo exclaimed, slapping his forehead, "Please help me think about which model is most beneficial to me. At the same time, it is also possible to cooperate with China Civil Engineering Construction Corporation in the name of Felician Family Electric Power Company.
Sign the agreement..."
His previous approach in Yibogu was mainly brutal and forceful.
Based on his near-telepathy and extremely accurate insight into people's hearts, he confirmed that the old chief Felician and Abacha could be trusted. After negotiating the distribution of rights and interests, he continued to purchase equipment and expand the mining area if he had money.
, the factory area has been rolling in investment and has never stopped.
The cement factory was built like a broken kiln in the end, but it had nothing to do with it and it didn't affect making money anyway.
As for the relationship with the Lonta local government, it was promised a 3% profit tax, but in fact the Lonta City Hall did not send anyone to audit.
According to local tradition, the tax department of the city hall cannot collect taxes outside the town.
If Ibogu could give him a symbolic $30,000 to 50,000, the city committee would be happy with it and not even think about auditing the accounts.
It was only when the Conero Lake Industrial Park project was launched this time that we thought about formally signing a package tax agreement.
Cao Mo didn't need to think about complicated financial, taxation, and financial issues before. He was learning and working, mainly to explore and overcome various practical problems encountered at work.
Now he has to grab the construction deadline and use limited funds more efficiently, so he needs to use many financial models and tools.
This is no longer his strong point.
"The life of the bot model is usually longer. When you see the benefits of the hydropower station, you will not hand it over to China Civil Engineering Construction Corporation to operate the hydropower station for 20 or 30 years after it is completed. In that case, there is no need to rush to start building this project,"
Song Yuqing thought for a while and said to Cao Mo,
"And if you want to compress the construction period within one year, you may not be able to raise enough project funds after one year - but you actually negotiated an agreement with China Civil Engineering Construction Corporation to buy back the construction regardless of the operating period. China Civil Engineering Construction Corporation
As long as the entire project is calculated to be profitable enough, there will be no chance of negotiation..."
"Do you want the Felician family to hire you as a personal financial consultant?" Cao Mo asked seriously, looking at Song Yuqing's face that was particularly smooth under the afterglow of the sunset.
"I only weigh a few pounds, so how can I be qualified to be a financial consultant for others?" Song Yuqing said quietly.
"What's wrong?" Cao Mo asked.
"The group should transfer a formal financial director..." Song Yuqing said.
Cao Mo patted his forehead and realized that Song Yuqing was worried about this matter.
The West Africa Branch has had no business for a long time. Yang Deshan rarely comes to Dracula Motor. Cao Mo and Guo Jian are the only two people supporting the scene, so there is no need for a full-time financial officer.
All bills are sent back to China for reimbursement, and even their wages are directly paid to their domestic cards from the group.
After Song Yuqing came over, the branch's monthly business volume was only a dozen or two hundred thousand dollars, and its financial work was also quite limited.
Wang Wen was not sent over until the Ministry of Overseas Investment Affairs was established and decided to invest in a crushing plant in Kanem and expand the import of palm oil.
Immediately afterwards, in addition to the annual production capacity of the crushing plant exceeding 20,000 tons, the scale of oil palm land acquisition is even larger, and the aluminum profile trading business is also expanding steadily. The West African branch will be directly upgraded to a first-level subsidiary, followed by the group.
We will further strengthen financial supervision here.
Dong Sheng's arrangement has its own reasons, but when it falls on Song Yuqing personally, it feels somewhat depressing like being picked off a peach.
"Who will the group send here this time? Do you want me to find two big black men to scare her back?" Cao Mo asked, looking at Song Yuqing's beautiful face.
"Go!" Song Yuqing rolled her eyes at Cao Mo and said, "You should worry about your own affairs, I don't want you to worry about it - by the way, Yibogu's production scale is getting bigger and bigger, how do you solve the manpower problem?
"
On the one hand, Chinese businessmen investing in Canem lack trust in local employees; on the other hand, except for the old colonial center city of Draculamo, there is indeed a lack of high-quality workers in the local area.
Where can we be like China, where four to five million fresh graduates from colleges and universities flood into the talent market every year, waiting like cattle to be selected by various companies?
Cao Mo's rhetoric, even in reality, was called Yang Deshan, Xie Sipeng and other veterans believed in it. Even in Yibogu, except for Cao Mo himself, there was no one who was not a local employee.
Song Yuqing knew the truth now, but she was also confused as to how Cao Mo was able to prop up such a big stall as Yibogu with the help of Kabuja and Lucy?
They have also had many contacts with the old chief Felician. The old chief Felician is considered an elder with rich life experience in Kanem, but when it comes to his understanding of business management and community building, he may not be as good as Xinhai.
There is an old man in the countryside who smokes a cigarette butt and brags.
Ochosan is qualified as a scholar, but he lives in Catero to teach and does not care about the affairs of the tribe.
"How should I put it?" Cao Mo touched his head and said, "Compared with the country, there is definitely a gap, and it is also very big, but it is not as bad as imagined and cannot be molded..."
Although the current hydropower grid price negotiated with Sika Aidet Power Grid Company is eight cents per kilowatt hour, leaving a very large profit margin for the transmission grid, in fact after the hydropower station group is completed, as long as local employees can be organized to establish a
With a mature operation and maintenance team, actual operation and maintenance costs can be controlled quite low.
However, this was precisely the contradiction that was difficult to resolve before Kanem.
There is no local capital to start the construction of large-scale hydropower stations.
Foreign capital is huge enough, but it lacks enough trust in local employees. Operation management and technical personnel must be hired from abroad with high salaries.
In addition to the fact that three or four foreign employees can eat up a considerable amount of profits from a small hydropower station, the further difficulty is that these small hydropower stations are built in deep mountains and old forests. No matter how high the annual salary is, it is difficult to recruit people who are willing to work for this job.
Bored foreign employees.
As a result, even though there are good small hydropower resources so close to Draculamore, they have not been fully utilized and developed until now.
Cao Mo has no crisis of trust in local employees.
To be honest, it is very difficult to find suitable management and technical talents in mining areas, power companies, and building materials companies from Lonta, but there are still some in Catero, the capital of Oyo State.
In addition to Wendy Scarf, Cao Mo also used their monthly salary of four to six hundred U.S. dollars to recruit four teachers from Cateros State Junior College majoring in electrical science, mechanical engineering and materials science; and this year he also used two hundred U.S. dollars in monthly salary.
With a monthly salary of US$ 100, the best 40 graduates from Cateros State Junior College are selected to join.
Previously, the Catero Gold Mining Company was disbanded due to depletion of gold reserves, and more than a dozen engineering and technical personnel were hired by Cao Mo. In fact, they were all mechanical, electrical, geological and mining engineers with quite good standards, and they only had a monthly salary of two hundred and fifty US dollars.
And this Xinhai, whose monthly salary is 2005, has difficulty even recruiting dishwashers in the kitchen.
It was Cao Mo who rounded up this group of people, which suddenly alleviated the shortage of senior technicians and engineers in the mining areas and factories.
The cement plant has the most sufficient manpower, and even has a lot of wealth. This is actually a reserve for the new plant.
At present, whether it is gold mining, cement production, power station operation and management, or the modern new cement plants planned to be built in the future, they all belong to the traditional manufacturing industry in China and are far from high-tech industries.
Even when planning to build a new cement plant, Cao Mo felt that there would be no absolutely insurmountable obstacles with the existing manpower.
The key thing to solve is the crisis of trust.
This is also the biggest disagreement between Cao Mo, Xie Sipeng, and Yang Deshan on the Conero Lake Industrial Park project.
Of course, Cao Mo has no intention of convincing Xie Sipeng and Yang Deshan now.
Dongsheng is now leading the construction of the Conero Lake Industrial Park. Even if people with management experience are selected from Dongsheng to be responsible for operation and management, Cao Mo will not object.
Anyway, his biggest purpose in promoting the Conero Lake Industrial Park project is to prepare for the construction of a new cement plant.
He doesn't particularly care whether the industrial park itself is profitable or not.
If the industrial park project cannot be profitable or even suffers a loss, then Xie Sipeng, Yang Deshan and even Dongsheng will naturally be forced to consider cutting various costs. You will know how cheap it is to hire local operation and management personnel.
"How can you trust local employees?" Song Yuqing asked curiously.
"intuition."
Cao Mo answered honestly, but received a look from Song Yuqing.
"Let's put it this way, whether it is developed countries in Europe and the United States or China, which country has not experienced an era of bloody chaos and ignorance of the people? Could it be that in those eras of bloody chaos and ignorance of the people, China's people's hearts were bad, and no one
Are people worthy of use? Kanem is far behind the country. The overall educational quality of its citizens may be equivalent to the level before the liberation of China, but this does not mean that this country with a total population of 150 million cannot even
There are 30,000 to 50,000 engineers and you can’t even choose one,”
Cao Mo could only make up some excuses to coax Song Yuqing.
"Of course, vigilance is necessary. This country is much more complicated than domestic chaos. However, many people in the country have begun to swell and have forgotten that just over fifty years ago, we were also discriminated against by the Western world as the sick man of East Asia.
I don’t think there is any problem if we put aside our prejudices and discrimination and choose slowly. Especially when we come here to do business, we can’t discriminate against others in our hearts and think about making money from them. The branch has hired so many employees from the local area. Until now,
Did anything go wrong?"
Song Yuqing held her powdered cheeks in her hands and felt that although Cao Mo had some shortcomings in some particularly professional fields, she had to admit that he looked at the problem much deeper and broader than she did.
"By the way, Yang Deshan asked Wang Wen to help prepare for the Conero Lake Industrial Park. I will drag her to Yibogu tomorrow, and you can go there too..." Cao Mo said.
"What did I do in the past?" Song Yuqing asked.
"I think the idea you just mentioned is still feasible, so I want to talk to Liang Siqian first. I'm afraid that I'm stupid and can't figure out the idea. Can you help me give advice?" Cao Mo said.
"...As long as you know that you are stupid, I will reluctantly help you." Song Yuqing raised her head proudly, indicating that she accepted Cao Mo's somewhat false excuse.
