Waiting for the group vice president Guo Guangxin to come over, the meeting will officially begin.
Guo Guangxin also serves as the president of the Overseas Investment Division, but he usually doesn't care much about the overseas affairs and leaves it to Shen Ji - but he still has to preside over today's meeting.
As grassroots supervisors, Cao Mo and Song Yuqing naturally sat in the corner and listened, but they were also quiet.
"You really need to pick up some. You've only been back for a few days, and the whole company has become an uproar. If Mr. Chen hadn't helped you out, I don't know how today would have ended." Song Yuqing complained softly.
"When you spread rumors about me, you didn't join in the fun?" Cao Mo reached behind his back to grab Song Yuqing's hand, but Song Yuqing poked her with a pen.
"Who cares about spreading rumors about you?" Of course Song Yuqing denied it.
"You are not afraid of spreading rumors about me. Now that I am protected by old vixen Chen, I can run rampant in Dongsheng!" Cao Mo said proudly.
"Mr. Chen is so enthusiastic about helping your family, and you still talk about her like that. I will sue you when I get the chance." Song Yuqing threatened.
"Manager Cao, what is your relationship with Mr. Chen of the group?" Someone in the front row couldn't help but be curious at this time. He leaned back and asked Cao Mo in a low voice.
"I told you that I fell in love with Mr. Chen. Manager Zhou, you won't believe it. I said that my dad fell in love with Mr. Chen. Manager Zhou, do you believe it?" Cao Mo asked jokingly.
As soon as he finished speaking, Song Yuqing poked him in the back with a pen.
"I'm not talking nonsense. Why do you keep poking me? Careful if I poke you back?" Cao Mo turned his head and protested to Song Yuqing in a low voice.
"Turn your head, don't look at me when I'm talking - just poke me back if you can." Song Yuqing whispered, but then she thought that Cao Mo used the word " poke " in a rogue way, lowered her head and poked Cao Mo twice with a pen. Down.
"I'm keeping accounts for you," Cao Mo threatened.
"How are your dad's preparations for the B&B?" Song Yuqing asked in a low voice. She and Cao Mo were colleagues in the West Africa branch. It was normal for them to whisper to each other in the conference room. They were not afraid of what others were thinking.
"It's not bad - Mrs. Chen is just trying to pay attention all day long, and I have to guard against their thinking going too far - they are all people who have been here now, and looking at them, they look like they are doing nothing, I suspect that they have restrained themselves. They can't stop having sex," Cao Mo sighed, "I'm worried now that if their behavior is revealed and they don't take action, I will be embarrassed in the company!"
Song Yuqing suppressed her laughter, but later she couldn't stand Cao Mo's nonsense anymore, so she moved another seat and concentrated on the meeting. Thinking of Chen Rong's suspicious eyes, Song Yuqing also felt that she really had to keep a "distance" from Cao Mo, otherwise Soon people will spread the word that she and Cao Mo squeezed into the women's restroom.
How unfair that is...

The development focus of the Overseas Investment Division in the next two to three years will still be the West African branch.
At present, the profit from grain and oil business is not as high as that from real estate, but grain and oil has always been the foundation of Dongsheng.
Dongsheng already has a fairly solid foundation in the domestic grain and oil market, and now further expanding its overseas scale will promote a steady increase in the group's profits in this area.
The subsequent key work of the West Africa Branch is also to focus on the palm oil line to enrich the industrial chain and tap more profit potential.
Conero Lake Industrial Park is actually a good platform to tap the profit potential of the industrial chain.
Previously, the power supply and transportation to the Port of Draculamo could not be solved. As the transportation conditions further improve, Dongsheng will build the third phase of its palm oil production base in the Conero Lake Industrial Park to maximize profits.
The Tubman crushing plant mainly performs crude crushing of oil palm fruits, and then barrels and transports them back to China for refining and packaging. However, in fact, there are conditions for refining in Kanem. If it were not stuck in the power supply, the cost would be absolutely
It is much cheaper than transporting it back to China for refining.
In addition, with the economic development of Xinhai, in addition to the increasing labor costs, the environmental requirements are also becoming more and more stringent. The municipal government has also approached Dongsheng many times, hoping to relocate Dongsheng's refinery in Qingshan District.
Free up land to develop high-tech and financial industries with higher added value and lower pollution.
Dongsheng is actually considering relocation. After all, between the new factory and government compensation, Dongsheng can earn a net difference of 7 to 8 billion - which is almost equal to the net profit of the Grain and Oils Department for a year.
Since the Conero Lake Industrial Park can provide affordable industrial power supply, Dongsheng naturally began to consider whether to build the third phase base, including the refining process, in the Conero Lake Industrial Park.
Compared with this, helping to introduce Chinese businessmen to the Conero Lake Industrial Park to build pulp mills, brown silk mills, and furniture factories to more fully tap the economic value of oil palm trees does not attract too much attention.
Dongsheng's current main concern is that Kanem's political situation is unstable.
The oil palm plantation was closed for a year and a half due to political instability. The losses were actually limited. After all, the land was there and the oil palm trees were there. But the refinery was closed for a year and a half without anyone to look after it.
Machinery and equipment may be stolen by local people, not to mention the losses caused by the suspension of production to the entire business chain.
Another thing is that some people in the group are still worried about whether Canem is too backward and can take over the operation of the refinery.
Of course, today's meeting is only to discuss feasibility. Until the West African branch's business can truly stabilize, the third phase of the project will not be rushed for the time being.
As part of the discussion, participants also mentioned that the bauxite resources in West African countries are very abundant, and the ore grade is better than that in China. Is it possible to purchase and transport it back to China to supply the electrolytic aluminum factory of the Ministry of Building Materials?
Cement production is a large energy consumer, but the electricity consumption of electrolytic aluminum is even more terrifying.
The electrical energy required per ton of aluminum is about 13,000 degrees.
Dongsheng can consider importing bauxite from West Africa to supply their factories close to large seaports, but will not consider directly building an electrolytic aluminum plant in West Africa unless the Conero Lake Industrial Park can significantly reduce the current power supply cost to three-thirds.
of two.
At present, the control of the cost of aluminum per ton in China has already affected every penny of the cost of power generation.
Therefore, the main consideration for the West African branch in the short term is to purchase bauxite from countries such as Kanem to supply domestic electrolytic aluminum factories.
Of course, the process of producing aluminum profiles from aluminum ingots is relatively simple.
As long as the sales scale of the aluminum profile market in Central and West Africa can further increase in the future, the group should first consider building an aluminum profile processing plant in the Conero Lake Industrial Park, exclusively for the African continent, in order to increase the profit margin of this business chain.
.
Cao Mo originally thought that participating in such a meeting would be boring, but it was very enlightening to sit down and watch a group of middle-level foreign officials who had just spread rumors and slanders in the corridor, discussing the expansion and exploration of Dongsheng's business chain in Africa.
Not to mention other things, Lonta and other areas of Oyo State in the east, and even Benin adjacent to Oyo State, in addition to gold, oil palm, cocoa trees, limestone, silicate minerals, volcanic ash, logs, water conservancy and other resources
, is also rich in natural gas, bauxite, iron ore and other mineral resources.
Not to mention that these resources have been developed, no one is even doing basic exploration at present.
Of course, Cao Mo knew that his foundation was still very weak. At present, besides building more hydropower stations, building new cement plants, further improving the mining and refining process of the Ibogu gold mine, and opening up the import and domestic trade chain of cocoa butter and cocoa powder,
I don’t have the ability to take into account too much at the moment.

There was a meeting in the afternoon and a big dinner for the staff of the Overseas Investment Division in the evening.
Because of the rumors and scandals about his relationship with Chen Rong, Cao Mo suddenly became a star employee in the overseas department.
He sat at the same table as Li Qilu and Song Yuqing, and people frequently came over to him to toast him. Li Qilu, the deputy general manager of the West Africa branch, had few people paying attention to him.
During the dinner, Li Qilu brought over his wife Guo Fang, who worked at the headquarters. Guo Fang was very impressed with Cao Mo when she first saw him at the same table. She also said that she had a cousin in her family who was a senior student in political science and law in East China and wanted to meet him.
Find an opportunity to introduce him to Cao Mo.
Most of the employees stationed abroad in the overseas department were male, and they spoke in a non-vegetarian manner. They vividly recounted Cao Mo's scandal several times in front of Guo Fang in just a few words.
Well, Guo Fang not only stopped mentioning her as the introducer, but also stared at Cao Mo with a wary face, fearing that Cao Mo would mislead Li Qilu in Kanem.
Song Yuqing made an excuse to leave first, and Cao Mo was pulled by colleagues from the overseas department and drank for half an hour before taking a taxi to Stari's residence in Tianzifang.
He opened the door and walked in to see Song Yuqing and Stali huddled in front of the desk, studying several entrepreneurial proposals that had been officially received after the establishment of the Entrepreneurship Agreement for Chinese and West African High School Students.
Seeing Sta Li looking over with a look on her face, Cao Mo knew that Song Yuqing must have said a lot about him just now, so he lay down on the bed with his legs spread out:
"I was tricked to death by you today. I will never think of picking up a girl in our company again in my life! I'm still Brother Chu, who will believe me now?"
Stari glanced at Song Yuqing and said, "I don't believe it!"
Cao Mo was so angry that he wanted to roll his eyes.
"How much did you drink after I left? Why did you come here so late? Are you okay?" Song Yuqing looked at her watch. It was almost ten o'clock. She looked at Cao Mo worriedly for a while and saw that he was conscious.
He was still awake and said, "I have to go back first, otherwise my mother will call me again to urge me - let me take the information back and read it!"
Not wanting to draw attention to herself, Song Yuqing didn't ask Cao Mo to escort her out. She went straight out of the back patio, took a taxi at the street entrance, and left first.
Cao Mo was a little overwhelmed today. When he took a taxi and rushed to Stari's place, he managed to stay conscious.
However, after Song Yuqing left, he saw an open bottle of mineral water on the table and drank half of it. He put his feet up on the edge of the bed and picked up the information to read. He felt top-heavy and tilted his neck to slow down for a while. Drunkness came over him.
