(Thanks to Bianhuang Zuike for the big alliance tip...)
"Mr. Yang and the others just left like that, and they still agreed to let us take a vacation first?"
Kabuga watched in surprise as Yang Deshan and the others started the car and drove away in the dust, quickly disappearing into the night.
"For many people, this land itself is an untapped gold mine. There are many opportunities, large and small. And since Yang Deshan is interested in doing private work, why does he need to antagonize us?"
Cao Mo speculated the reason why Yang Deshan left calmly, and said to Kabuga with a smile, thinking that Yang Deshan should have known for a long time that if you want to get rich, you must first hold back your anger. This is worth learning from him.
"Then why did Mr. Yang show no response when you just proposed that they should participate? I was just afraid that he would just agree." Kabuga asked.
Kabuga also believed that the main reason why the old chief Felician agreed to cooperate with them and rejected Yang Deshan and Guo Jian was that they still lacked the necessary trust in Yang Deshan and Guo Jian.
However, Kabuga was worried that when Yang Deshan and Guo Jianzhen got involved shamelessly, they spent many times more money than Cao Mo to buy complete sets of gold mining equipment, and worked enthusiastically in the area assigned to them, mining many times more than they did every day.
Even if it is more than ten times the placer gold, the situation may not change.
Seeing that Yang Deshan finally walked away without any reaction, Kabuga breathed a sigh of relief.
"Generally, mineral veins are distributed in strips. In the Longta area, it seems that only the ancient village of Yibo currently produces gold, but other tribal territories are more likely to be due to insufficient surveying and have not yet been discovered. This does not mean that there are no gold deposits,"
Chinese people have always had the ambition to "be the head of a chicken rather than the tail of a phoenix", and sometimes face is more important than anything else. Cao Mo couldn't resolve the subtle differences with Kabuga for a while, so he just talked lightly
Showing off the gold mining knowledge he had just learned, he said,
"They may be thinking that if they stay in Yibogu Village and suffer my anger, they might as well talk to nearby tribes about cooperation in gold mining. Besides, the terms we have negotiated with the old chief will not be shouted out to the outside world.
Go, if they really want to take over a piece of land, the contract period, the dividend ratio, and even the extra management fee ratio I have to charge, I don’t have the final say, so how can I ask them to come in comfortably and get a share of the pie?”
"...Oh" Kabujia finally understood why Yang Deshan left so neatly, and he clearly realized that Cao Mo had evil intentions.

The night was dark, and the old chief Felician was low on energy. He dozed off and went back to rest first, while the girls and young people in the tribe were still enjoying themselves singing and dancing around the bonfire.
Cao Mo really didn't have the sense of music or rhythm to dance with the snakes, so he asked Kabuja to continue to make noise in the square and get acquainted with the villagers, while he returned to the hut where he was recovering from illness to rest.
Regardless of what Yang Deshan, Guo Jian and the others have planned in the future, it would be beneficial to him to maintain peaceful coexistence even for the time being.
However, the fact that the old chief Felician successfully reached a cooperation agreement does not mean that things will proceed smoothly.
Cao Mo has been in Dracula Mo for more than a year and has met many Chinese businessmen who trade engineering equipment. He knows that it is not difficult to purchase crushing, grinding and other equipment in Dracula Mo.
Although the industrial base in Kanem and surrounding West African countries is extremely weak, there are also some shabby industries such as cement, steel and aluminum smelting.
These equipments are used in cement production, iron ore crushing, etc.
However, the crushing and grinding equipment used in these industries are often large and medium-sized equipment that can process hundreds of tons of mineral materials per hour. The prices are high, and he is not able to purchase them at this time.
The power supply in the entire Lungta area is extremely tight, and even Ibogu Village has no access to the power grid.
Without power supply, how powerful a diesel generator set is needed to drive these large-scale crushing equipment?
The equipment he can currently purchase are mainly small vibrating crushers and sand making machines, which are suitable for small-scale gold mining teams. The initial ideal situation is to maintain the processing capacity of around 20 to 30 tons per day.
This may not be found in Draculamore City.
However, if the equipment of only 10,000 to 20,000 US dollars is shipped directly to a domestic machinery manufacturer, will it be ignored because the customs clearance and shipping procedures are too complicated?
I'm afraid this is still a trick, under the guise of buying samples, selling equipment through Kanem as an agent, and looking for goods from domestic manufacturers?
By the weak light of the candle, Cao Mo recorded all these thoughts in a workbook, hoping to wait until Lucy had a preliminary understanding of Draculamore's equipment dealer before making further considerations.
It is relatively easy for foreigners to register and set up agency trading companies in Kanem, but when it comes to the mining of special metal mineral deposits, almost any country will have extremely strict restrictions.
Kanem's economic development is backward and its public security is chaotic, but it also has a strict legal system left over from the colonial period.
At present, the old chief Felician has decided to hand over the gold mine to him for investment and mining. There will be no trouble for the time being. The output of the gold mine in Yibogu Village is too small to even be called a gold mine.
However, as a foreigner, his local connections only involve a very limited number of people such as the old chief Felician, Kabuga, and Lucy. When the gold mine in Yibogu Village continues to develop, he will really become like a piece of fat.
After all, there are some big figures in Lungta area or even Oyo State who are looking for trouble for him. How can he escape?
In Draculamore, in addition to the chaos of public security, the level of official corruption and evil intentions is also jaw-dropping.
If you leave any evidence at this time and are targeted by local officials in the future, you will be ripped off!
When you are wandering alone in a chaotic country where you are unfamiliar with your life, the last word is to be patient!
Thinking of Yang Deshan's calmness when he left, Cao Mo wrote a big word "Gou" in his workbook to remind himself.
Taking over the gold mining team requires even more careful consideration.
He has worked in the Dongsheng Group's workshop for nearly two years. He has been exposed to the more common equipment and has no major problems in operation and maintenance. However, his current understanding of gold mining is still superficial and can only be searched on the Internet.
Got some information.
Even if the use of small gold mining equipment or even a set of simple gold mining processes does not seem to be an insurmountable technical hurdle, he has never started to operate it.
He still needs to be familiar with the entire process and have a clear idea of how the entire gold mining team will divide the work next.
This time he wanted to hire all the gold mining teams from the original Ibogu Village, but these villagers had not even been exposed to the simplest electrical machinery and equipment. How to train them to use and maintain these simple machinery and equipment was also a headache.
Whether the gold mines will be obedient and how to make them obedient from Owema downwards, and how easy it is to hide and smuggle gold in gold mining, how to prevent theft, are all issues.
The gold mining team are all villagers of Yibogu Village. They may not dare to steal Chief Felician's property, but the gold mine has been transferred to his hands. If he still believes that the villagers are simple, it would be a bit wishful thinking.
I was just idle before, thinking I had never eaten pork and had seen pigs running, but when I really wanted to start working, I found it was difficult to even learn how pigs run.
After Kabuja finished working hard, he went to the straw shed to rest. Cao Mo was not yet sleepy. He sat on the straw mat to organize his thoughts. He unknowingly wrote forty or fifty pages in the record book. When the two candles were burned out, the horizon
All turned green.
Cao Mo took out his cell phone and looked at the time. It was already past four in the morning.
Fortunately, he did not buy the color-screen mobile phones that are becoming popular in China. Those mobile phones consume power so quickly that Ibogu Village cannot find a battery to charge it. The old Nokia model can last for five or six days without charging.
There is no signal in Ibogu Village, so you can always turn off your phone except to check the time.
…………
…………
Cao Mo slept soundly for two hours and woke up not feeling tired at all.
He grabbed Kabuga and wanted to rush to Lonta town first to find a mobile phone signal to contact Lucy.
In addition to telling Lucy about the progress on his side, he also wanted to know about Lucy's contact with the equipment dealer yesterday.
If Dracula Moor cannot purchase these small devices, it needs to contact domestic manufacturers immediately.
The girl Lily ran over happily and wanted to follow them to the town. When she went out, she saw their two trail motorcycles parked in the chief's compound, surrounded by many children and villagers watching the fun, and two people were eager to try out the motorcycles.
In the car, unfortunately I drove away without the car keys.
Seeing Cao Mo, Kabuga went out early in the morning, and the surrounding villagers dispersed in a hurry.
Although the taste of cassava, which is the staple food of the local people, is not satisfactory, it is drought-resistant, has high starch yield, and has simple field management. The villagers work in the fields for at most one or two hours a day, and are usually quite idle. In addition to the gold mining team, the tribe
Ordinary villagers also have few employment opportunities.
Some novel people and things in the tribe are particularly likely to attract onlookers; Cao Mo has long been accustomed to it, and the same is true in other places in Kanem.
Cao Mo made it clear to Overma yesterday that until new equipment was delivered, the gold mining team would continue to mine according to traditional methods, but at this time he saw that among the onlookers, several of the villagers were workers of the gold mining team.
He didn't see Owema, and he didn't know if Owema didn't take his words at all. With resistance, he started to let wild horses go today.
"come here!"
Cao Mo pointed at a young man not far away and shouted.
Yesterday afternoon, the old chief Felician Overema introduced the workers of the gold mining team to him. They drank together in the evening and watched them dance. Cao Mo had some impressions of this young man.
Yesterday, most of the people in the gold mining team were quite reserved in front of him.
Under normal circumstances, it would take a long time for Cao Mo to have a deeper understanding of these workers and distinguish them.
However, his keen intuition told him that this young man had a strong curiosity and positive expectations about him taking over the gold mining team yesterday.
Seeing that he was worried and wanted to come over to say hello, Cao Mo called him over and asked, "What's your name? Can you drive a motorcycle?"
"My name is Potu..." The young man came over, looked at the smooth and rough body of the forest trail with envy, and shook his head.
"It's easy. You accompany us to the town first, and then ask Kabuga to teach you when you come back."
Cao Mo then had to consider how to take over the management of the gold mining team. Since Overmar still had resistance, he had to select three or five people from the gold mining team as role models, recruit them, train them, and slowly change the local villagers and other members of the gold mining team.
people's attitude towards him.
After a brief chat, Cao Mo found that Potu's English was not bad. He had studied in the town and received primary education. Potu had long felt that the current production methods of the gold mining team were too crude, so he proposed to Overma
Suggestions, thinking that the old chief could add some small equipment, but Owema did not accept the answer.
Most of the gold mining team still found it incredible that Cao Mo, a foreigner, had taken over the gold mine, but Potu was looking forward to it. Overmar didn't notify him to start work in the morning, so he ran around and wanted to contact Cao Mo.
Very uneasy.
Some ideas haven't been straightened out yet, so Cao Mo didn't want to go to Overema for the time being and asked Potu to go directly to the town with them...
