Cheng Xi went back with her father honestly.
Cao Mo closed the courtyard door, drank some water and went upstairs. He saw Yu Jing and Chen Chang looking out in their pajamas and asked, "Did I wake you all up?"
"Is Cheng Xi's tutoring so strict? What time is it, and Cheng Xi still has to go home?" Chen Chang asked doubtfully, "I, Yu Jing, had dinner with her parents, and they seemed very kind!
"
"Cheng Xi's father is very good, and her mother..." Cao Mo deliberately shuddered.
"..." Yu Jing burst into laughter and scolded, "Aunt Yang is such a good person, but you act so exaggeratedly!"
Yu Jing has been in the same dormitory with Cheng Xi for four years at university, and has stayed at Cheng Xi's house many times. Naturally, she has more contact with Cheng Xi's parents - if Yu Jing hadn't been embarrassed herself, Cheng Xi's parents would have wanted her
I'm going to live directly at her house.
Cao Mo looked like "you don't understand" and went back to his room to sleep.
When he got up the next day, Cao Mo didn't wait for Yu Jing, Chen Chang and the others. He carried a laptop and went out to have breakfast, then jogged to the company, which only took 20 minutes.
When Song Yuqing arrived at the company, she saw that Cao Mo had arrived earlier than her and had already sat down at the workstation with a strange expression on her face.
Of course, Cao Mo asked Song Yuqing to go over and talk to him for a while. Song Yuqing's beautiful eyes widened and she went to the financial office area.
It's dusk in Kanem.
Now that Ibogu's communication was connected, Cao Mo asked Kabuga, Lucy, and Wendy Scarf to write e-mail reports, but Kabuga and the others were not used to it yet.
Cao Mo read several short work emails in half an hour, and then went online to search for the current status of Kanem's export of bulk commodities to China.
Kanem's current exports are mainly oil and natural gas, accounting for more than 90% of its trade volume. Unfortunately, China's energy development in Kanem and Africa as a whole is very late. Kanem's oil and natural gas are mainly exported to Europe and the United States.
Like Japan, a very small part is exported to China, but this is an area that Cao Mo is not yet qualified to get involved in.
In addition to oil and natural gas, Kanem exports bulk commodities to China, including palm oil, which Dongsheng is making, logs, cocoa (the main raw material of chocolate), rubies, tobacco, cotton, gold, iron, copper, zinc, graphite, etc.
Metal and non-metal mineral deposits are basically based on raw materials.
Kanem imports a wide variety of goods from China.
Consumer goods mainly include various textiles, shoes, hats, bags, toys and other small commodities, as well as various household appliances, lamps and furniture. However, the export scale of consumer goods is still small, accounting for about 30%. The larger scale is engineering machinery.
Electrical communication equipment, transportation tools and various building materials reflect that China's current manufacturing strength has risen to a certain level...
This basically reflects the current level of economic development of the two countries.
Among Kanem's export commodities, which are mainly raw materials, Cao Mo had to take into account the actual conditions in Longta and Xinhai, so the types of trade he could do were very limited.
Although there are abundant forest resources in the north of Longta, Cao Mo was psychologically resistant to large-scale logging of forest resources.
Even if a port is built in Lake Conero in the future, he has no intention of getting involved in this industry, and will even encourage Abacha to regulate the orderly development of Lonta Sensen resources in the municipal committee as soon as possible.
And if he wants to trade palm oil, even if he purchases crude palm oil from Lungta and nearby areas and sells it to Dongsheng, he is actually directly competing with Dongsheng.
Importing gold is not something he has the resources to do now.
There are relatively abundant iron-aluminum ore resources in the eastern part of Longta. The development of iron-aluminum ore needs to be large-scale, but the cost is too high.
In a short period of time, Conero Lake does not have the conditions to build a large port to dock large iron ore ships.
At present, several small-scale iron ore mines in Oyo and Ogun states use small barges to transport the mined iron ore to Draculamo Port, sell it to iron ore exporters there, and then load it into concentrated energy.
Sell very large mining ships overseas with extremely low dilution of shipping costs.
Xinhai and surrounding provinces and cities are the largest steel production base in China, and their iron ore is mainly imported from overseas.
Iron-aluminum ore is probably the only large-scale trade he can do in Lonta or Draculamore, besides cocoa and Kanem rubies.
In the later stage, if he really has a relatively large capital scale, he can even directly intervene in the iron ore mining in Longta.
The problem is that the carrying capacity of large mining ships is too large.
Taking iron ore concentrate as an example, a shipment of goods would be worth tens of millions of dollars. If he only planned to transfer four to five million dollars of profits domestically every year, it would take him two years to make one order!
How annoying!
Could it be said that in addition to hoarding gold, he also needs to hoard iron ore in Longta?
The risk of hoarding iron ore is high. Once something happens, it is not like hundreds of kilograms of gold that can be transferred at any time. Even if the gold cannot be transferred in time, there should be no problem if it is stored in the private safe of the United Bank of Oman.
In the early stage, we can only make cocoa and ruby. We can even build a cocoa butter processing plant directly in the Conero Lake Industrial Park, and the investment is quite limited.
Cao Mo contacted several food companies in Xinhai that use cocoa butter and cocoa butter as raw materials to inquire about the supply situation.
These food companies are not large in scale, and if they want to directly import raw materials from overseas, they have to apply for foreign exchange exchange, which is relatively complicated.
Cao Mo registered a trading company in China in advance. Their settlement method in RMB is quite popular, but several companies said they would wait until Cao Mo established a registered company before negotiating. As for the payment method, it was also cash on delivery, which was obviously suspicious.
Cao Mo, who called rashly and claimed that he could get cocoa beans, cocoa butter and other raw materials in Africa, was a fraud.
Xinhai is currently one of the largest gem processing bases in the world. The output of Kanaim rubies is not high, but it enjoys a high reputation internationally. However, the quality of rubies varies greatly. I contacted several processing manufacturers and asked to see the current goods.
It is best to import rubies.
As long as Cao Mo truthfully declares customs and pays the corresponding taxes and fees, he can transport human flesh every time he returns home.
The key is that it is much safer to bring goods from Kanem to China, as long as you are not targeted by criminal gangs before Dracula gets on the plane.
Of course, the output of rubies in Kanem is not high, and it is mainly monopolized by several gem mining industries. Cao Mo can buy rubies in Kanem, and the price is already not low. If he is cut off by tariffs, there will not be much profit left.
It is more feasible to build a cocoa processing plant and import cocoa butter domestically. This can be developed as an industry and the scale can increase the trade volume.
As the trade volume increases, the scale of profits retained in the country can be adjusted at will.
If you want to keep more profits in the country, then increase the profits of domestic trading companies; if you want to keep more capital in Kanem, then make the profits of domestic trading companies lower.

At eleven o'clock, Song Yuqing passed by inadvertently and stood next to his work station with a water glass in hand. She looked at the corridor outside, as if she was taking a short break at work and looking for an old colleague to come over and chat:
"You are somewhat famous in the headquarters. The work group in the real estate department is all talking about you wanting to eat swan meat!"
"Ah," Cao Mo was slightly stunned. He didn't know whether those words came from the man with the slanted eyes or the fetal spot. He asked curiously, "You guys just gossip in the work group, and no one in the real estate department cares about it."
?"
"Work groups are of course divided into groups with leaders and groups without leaders!" Song Yuqing said.
"How do you know about the real estate department's QQ group chat gossip? This matter has been spread to our overseas department?" Cao Mo asked.
"I have joined too many groups, otherwise it would be so boring to be in Dracula!" Song Yuqing said proudly, "No one here knows about it yet, but it is expected to be spread soon. Do you want to be overseas in the future?"
It’s hard to pick up girls.”
"Why are you so gloating about misfortune?" Cao Mo said distressedly.
"The one surnamed Tian is pretty good-looking. She is very fashionable in her clothes. She drives an Audi when she first joined the company. I heard her family is very good! You and her are neighbors and we were childhood sweethearts!" Song Yuqing gossiped with great interest.
.
Cao Mo saw Song Yuqing leaning on his desk with her back, her skirt-covered buttocks forming a beautiful shape, and reached out to touch her.
Song Yuqing turned back and glared at him, raised her glass of water as if to pour it over: "You're going to die!" She threw an accounting firm's business card on his desk, turned around and left.
Seeing that the accounting firm named Baocheng was on the 12th floor of Dongsheng Building, Cao Mo didn't even make a call, so he just ran to the 12th floor with his work badge.
Compared with the major departments of Dongsheng Group, the entire floor is only divided into limited large office areas, which are obviously bright and open. The twelfth floor is mainly rented by some small companies, and there are more than 20 offices distributed along the circular corridor.
Cao Mo saw that the door of Baocheng Accounting Firm was ajar, and no one answered the knock. He pushed it open and saw a miniature front desk. There was no one sitting behind it. Inside was an office area of fifty or sixty square meters, with two rooms.
The file cabinets are placed against the wall, with a row of desks in the middle and only six workstations.
Two female employees were answering the phone. They saw Cao Mo poke his head in and looked puzzled. Apparently they didn't hear Cao Mo knock on the door.
In addition to the public office area, there is a small office inside. Through the glass door, I can see a young man in his twenties and nineties sitting on the desk and answering the phone.
When the young man saw Cao Mo walking in, he motioned through the glass door to find a place to sit outside.
Cao Mo saw that there was a small reception area by the window. He walked over and sat on the sofa. He could see Yinguang Square outside the window.
After a while, the young man came over and said with a smile: "Manager Cao, right? I'm Chen Feng from Baocheng - Manager Song just called to say that he saw you coming downstairs. I guess you came directly. I
My lover Zhang Li and Manager Song are classmates. A few days ago, we talked about how you wanted to register a trading company in China - Zhang Li and I started this small company two years ago. Manager Cao, don't be too shabby..."
"How could it be? It's easier to find someone you know and you can rest assured." Cao Moxin asked why Song Yuqing would introduce this company. It turns out that the money does not go to outsiders.
It would be more convenient to do things with acquaintances. The only pity is that it is inconvenient to bargain for Song Yuqing's face.
"It's almost dinner time. How about we find a place to eat and talk about what you want?" Chen Feng said.
Cao Mo originally wanted to say that he didn't have any special requirements, and he could just sign an agency agreement and leave, but when he thought about finding a place to eat at noon, couldn't he invite Song Yuqing to join him?
"Okay, make an appointment with Manager Song and ask for your help. I definitely want to treat you to this meal!" Cao Mo said politely.
"I have already reserved a seat at Yinguang Plaza. Let's go there first. Manager Song said that she has something to do at the moment and will go there by herself later," Chen Feng said.
He told lies without blinking an eye. He obviously didn’t want to go in and out of Dongsheng Building with him in the company.
