At noon, Wendy Scarf, Parry and five engineers arrived in Xinhai by plane. Cao Mo took Chen Feng to the airport and took them to the hotel to make arrangements.
As cement production capacity continues to be released, in late November, the average price of finished cement in Kanem's domestic market has dropped to US$300 per ton. It is not unimaginable that it will fall to the level before the cement storm next spring.
The cement storm that has lasted for eight months has made the families behind the monopoly on Kanem's cement production capacity a lot of money, but it is destined to attract too much resentment. Currently, Kanem's domestic media is full of voices criticizing these families.
Three of the congressmen who pushed for the ban on behalf of these families were exposed to serious scandals. President Buhari has made public statements on many occasions, strongly urging the judicial department to launch an investigation into these three congressmen.
Although the Kanem Supreme Federal Court remained unmoved for the time being, Cao Mo could already feel that the wind was loosening, and now it was time for them to officially start preparing for a new cement plant.
In the name of Felician Building Materials Company, Cao Mo has already handed over the planning and design of the new cement plant to the Xinhai Construction Industry Second Design Institute; at present, the main supporting design and construction of the Conero Lake Industrial Park is mainly in accordance with Xinhai Construction
The plan of the second hospital is being implemented.
Wendy Scarf and the others came to China this time. On the one hand, they contacted Xinhai Architectural Second Institute to discuss the technical details of the construction of a new cement plant. They also visited and studied several cement plants where Xinhai Architectural Second Institute was responsible for the design and construction.
time. On the other hand, they also have to contact domestic cement equipment manufacturers.
The new cement plant is planned and designed with two production lines totaling 500,000 tons of finished cement. In addition to infrastructure and supporting projects, a complete set of production machinery and equipment to be purchased is worth tens of millions of dollars.
It was no longer possible for Cao Mo to save trouble and directly find an agent in Draculamore to purchase.
Even a modern cement production line is not a high-tech facility in China, but there are still a lot of things in production management that need to be learned and researched by Wendy Skaff and others.
If we hire a training team directly from China, it will cost no more than two to three million. But when Wendy Skaff and others come to China for research and inspection, not only do they not have to pay, the manufacturers here are even willing to bring Wendy Skaff to the country.
Their food, accommodation and all entertainment activities are provided for.
Cao Mo was now worried that they would be corroded too quickly, so he did not agree to let Xinhai Construction Second Institute or other manufacturers arrange food and lodging, and he paid for the food and lodging himself.
For Song Yuqing, Wendy Skaff and Parry were also old friends. They came over to have dinner together at noon. In the afternoon, they rented two cars and took Wendy Skaff and the others around Xinhai city.
After dinner at night, Wendy Scarf and the others were about to catch up on jet lag, so Cao Mo sent them back to the hotel to rest so that they could get straight to work tomorrow.
The hotel is near Song Yuqing's house. Song Yuqing can just walk home. Cao Mo excused himself that he still had something to talk to Wendy Scarf and did not take Chen Feng and Zhang Li's car to leave. Instead, he waited for them to drive away and took a walk to see them off.
Song Yuqing went home.
"Why do you look so worried?" Song Yuqing asked curiously.
"Is it so obvious?" Cao Mo asked.
"Obviously." Song Yuqing said.
"I didn't notify Xinhai Construction Engineering Co., Ltd. before returning to China. I only called two days ago to inform Wendy Skaff that they were coming to Xinhai for investigation and inspection. The new cement plant is expected to officially start construction soon. People have been busy in the past two days.
They called me seven or eight times and asked for an appointment at a fun place to meet in person. They also said secretly that with my help, if the second hospital could take over the general contracting, they would pay me five points.
.His mother, I completely understand that when Wang Jianzhong went to Draculamore, he was competing with Yang Deshan for the top position. For the construction of a new factory, not to mention the purchase of various equipment, the general contractor can give more than 3 million
There is even room for negotiation about the rebates. Damn it," Cao Mo sighed. "The Second Hospital should also have leaked my contact information. In the past two days, two equipment manufacturers have also contacted me and want to talk to me.
Let’s have a close contact. Now I’m worried about whether Wendy Scarf and others can withstand the bombardment of capitalist sugar-coated bullets, and whether they will join forces with these profiteers to defraud me, the boss, of their money..."
"..." Song Yuqing giggled and said with a heartless smile, "You work for Dongsheng and take advantage of Dongsheng to feel at ease. Now you know the pain of being a boss? If you can't make a lot of money by yourself, then you are not allowed to
Others pick up a few pieces of fat to eat!"
"Yeah, don't turn your elbow towards my little lover! It looks like I'm going to drag you into some dark alley and teach you a lesson!" Cao Mo said.
"You must be able to catch up with me!"
Song Yuqing jumped and ran away first. Cao Mo chased after her and dragged her into a dimly lit alley...
…………
…………
After sending Song Yuqing home, Cao Mo took a taxi back to Xikang Street.
He saw Chen Rong's black Mercedes-Benz parked at the door of his courtyard. He opened the door and saw Cheng Xi's father, Cheng Zhengjie, also there, as well as two of his father's friends, all sitting in the hall chatting.
Recently, a couple's lease expired and they wanted to renew their lease. Jiaying arranged for them to live in another house, finally freeing up a room for her and her grandma to move back in.
Although his father still lives in the yard diagonally opposite for the time being, at least the family can get together at home to cook and cook, and there won't be the same scattered feeling as before.
Cao Mo didn't even say hello, so he hid upstairs and moved a small bench to sit next to them and listen to their chat.
Cao Mo has been very busy these days, and his family has been living apart. His father has been out of prison for more than a week, and he has not had the chance to meet his father several times. When he sat down, he realized that his father had been trying to find a job these days, but he had failed.
Bi, Cheng Xi's father Cheng Zhengjie invited Chen Rong and two other friends of his father over today to discuss an idea.
Jiaying sat aside angrily. Cao Mo asked in a low voice and found out that Jiaying wanted to take out all the money from the card and either open a restaurant or an inn and rent out the house.
Take it.
However, her father ignored her and kept telling her to concentrate on her studies. She was not allowed to think about such fancy things all day long before she was admitted to college.
"I was in jail for several years without any care, and as soon as I was released, I wanted to teach others a lesson. He was in charge of everything, and he was more nagging than grandma. I was a little annoyed by him - I never thought he was so annoying before." Jiaying stood next to Cao.
Sitting there in confusion, she complained softly, looking like a rebellious girl.
Cao Mo secretly rejoiced. Fortunately, he secretly bought the old house in Tianzifang and didn't say anything about what he wouldn't let her do. Otherwise, Jiaying would even hate his brother - adolescent girls are too difficult to control.
In the past two days, Cao Mo also figured out that Chen Rong did not tell his father about his participation in the investment in the Conero Lake Industrial Park. His father now knows that he can earn an annual income of 200,000 yuan a year in Africa.
.
This income is considered quite good even in Xinhai at this time.
As an authentic Xinhai native, his family has such a decent small courtyard, so he doesn't have to worry about the house. He can be considered middle class in Xinhai.
Of course, Cao Mo also knew very well that his father had his own arrogance. He didn't accept Jiaying's suggestion, so it was impossible to accept his funding to do anything. He just sat aside and said nothing, observing the younger generation.
duty.
"I think Jiaying's suggestion just now is quite good. You can do catering, and a few of us can pool the capital together, either as a loan or as a stock investment - your cooking skills fascinated many people back then!"
The man who spoke, Chen Hua, opened an auto repair shop on Longtan Street in front of him in his early years.
Longtan Street has been renovated, and many hardware stores and auto repair shops have moved out. Cao Mo doesn't know where Chen Hua is currently opening a store, or whether he is engaged in other investments.
Looking at the Hermès belt tied around his waist that was stretched out by his fat belly, I secretly felt that he had become prosperous in the past two years. I knew before that he opened an auto repair shop and his business was average, and he even came over to borrow money from his father.
To be honest, Chen Hua's idea was good and practical, but Cao Mo's intuition told him that Chen Hua's mind was not pure.
He was quite curious as to what thoughts Chen Hua had hidden under his arms without being exposed. Could it be that he also coveted Chen Rong?
No, he should be somewhat self-aware as he is, right?
"I'll forget about buying shares. I'm in charge of my duties. I actually have 60,000 to 70,000 yuan in private money, which I saved for Cheng Xi's dowry. I don't think she will be able to get married in a while. You can use this money first, and wait until
When Cheng Xi gets married, you just need to pay me back the bank interest." Cheng Zhengjie said while smoking.
"You, the deputy director of the district bureau, are doing too boring a job, aren't you? Do you know how much wealth you have to gain if you give up your position to others?" Chen Hua curled his lips and said, "How can you expect your Chengxi to get married?
You three melons and two dates, how much do you, Yang Lifang, have to prepare for her? It's a pity that my boy is too shabby, otherwise I would encourage my boy to harm your family Cheng Xi!"
"..." Cheng Zhengjie just smiled and did not answer Chen Hua's words.
If it hadn't been for Cao Xiong's incident this time, he wouldn't have had much contact with Chen Hua, who was too angry.
Chen Rong also didn't want Cao Xiong to become decadent because of social discrimination, and just find a job as a doorman or security guard recommended by the street to spend the rest of his life.
And she knew very well that if she personally funded a restaurant and let Cao Xiong run it, Cao Xiong would probably not accept it.
Now everyone is pooling money together to lend it to Cao Xiong to open a restaurant, which she thinks is a good compromise. She also said that she would also borrow whatever amount Cheng Zhengjie borrowed, without any specialization.
"How about we go to Tianzifang to find a barbecue restaurant and sit down and figure it out? We can't just sit here and chat. Jiaying, Cao Mo, let's go and have a drink together. We haven't seen each other in a few years. Such a young man has gone to Africa.
Let’s make a big deal!” Chen Hua invited everyone to find a barbecue restaurant in Tianzifang to eat and chat.
