After having a simple meal at the old chief's house at noon, he arrived at the mine in the afternoon and Cao Mo officially took over the gold mining team. He saw more than a dozen workers lazing around and waited for a long time before he saw General Botu's dark face the whole time.
Overmar called over.
Seeing Overmar like this, Cao Mo secretly complained: Mu De, do you still think your face is not dark enough?
"The land here and the gold mines here have always been the property of the Felician family. I have suggested to Mr. Felician to formally register the Felician Family Gold Mining Company. And all I have done is provide equipment.
Provide technical services to help Mr. Felician improve the management level and gold production capacity of the family business. Of course, my services will be charged, but one day, I will return to my motherland and truly develop the gold industry.
The mining and gold mining company ultimately belongs to the Felician family - Mr. Overmar, I don't know why you always have such strong uneasiness in front of me. Can I steal the gold mine back?
Going to China?”
Cao Mo reprimanded Owema in front of Kabuga and Potu. He also pulled Lily, who was watching the fun, over and questioned Owema fiercely.
"Mr. Overmar, do you want people to respectfully call Lily Miss Felician when they see her in the future, or do you want her to be treated like a country girl and whistle randomly?"
Overmar was a little confused. Why did Cao Mo, who was so downcast yesterday, suddenly become tougher?
Also, what Cao Mo said at this time was a little different from what he understood yesterday.
This foreigner really only cares about the Felician family, isn't he here to deceive and rob them?
"Hurry up and gather everyone to work! Seeing how lazy you are in serving the Felician family, I feel ashamed of you!"
Seeing that Overmar felt guilty, Cao Mo waved his fist arrogantly,
"Also, anyone who dares to hide and smuggle out the gold dust is stealing the Felician family's property, and being lazy is also shamefully stealing the Felician family's salary - and these may add more money to Miss Felician.
A beautiful long dress and a pair of smooth and beautiful leather shoes. Mr. Overmar, don't you want to see Miss Felician as beautiful and charming as a girl from upper class society? I hope that from today on, you can use it
Stare at everyone with fierce and sharp eyes, don’t tell them to be lazy or steal!”
Seeing that Owema had finally regained his morale and gathered manpower to resume work, Cao Moxian and Kabuga, under the guidance of Potu, considered the Ibogu gold mine more carefully.
…………
…………
Unlike China, which has been accustomed to living in concentrated areas in natural villages since ancient times, the tribal people of Kanem live quite dispersedly.
The same goes for the Ibogu tribe, with more than 300 households of tribal villagers living scattered in the Lukaku River Valley within a radius of three to four kilometers.
Going north along the Lujiao River, the northernmost settlement is nearly two kilometers away from the old chief's home, and the road between the jungles is already quite rugged.
From the northernmost settlement to the gold mining point, there is a kilometer of primeval dense forest to pass through. There are only trails trampled by the gold mining team in the forest, and there are thick trees and vines.
Cao Mo had been bitten by a snake on this stretch of road before, and he couldn't help but feel dissatisfied when he walked this stretch of road again.
The work sheds at the gold mining site are even more crude. They are all made of simple wooden frames and covered with roofs woven from banana leaves, which can only barely protect them from wind and rain.
Currently, there is no condition to make even the simplest placer gold machine. Cao Mo spent the next two days learning the traditional gold mining process.
It is better to say learning than to have a deeper understanding and familiarity.
In the whole process, the exploded stones are carried back to the open space in front of the work shed, and are first broken into little finger-sized gravel with a hammer.
This step is relatively easy, but it is too difficult to use tools similar to stone mills to grind gravel into powder - it is much more difficult than using similar stone and wood tools to grind flour and pound rice in ancient China.
Previously, almost half of the manpower of the gold mining team was wasted on this link; later, women would be used to wash gold sand in clear streams and rivers, and finally get relatively pure rock gold particles.
The gold mining team in Yibo Ancient Village uses this primitive and rough method and can only process about one ton of ore every day; it can produce about six or seven grams of pure rock gold every day.
The rock gold particles are sold directly without further impurity removal, smelting, etc. It is very disadvantageous. With the current low gold price, the daily output value of the gold mining team in Ibogu Village is less than one hundred US dollars.
After deducting the food and drink of so many people and the loss of explosives and other materials and tools, there is almost no profit.
After understanding this, it is not difficult to understand why the old chief Felician is still so shameless despite sitting on a gold mine.
You don’t have to buy any other equipment first. You must purchase a sand making machine - this is the key to mining rock gold.
Of course, Cao Mo didn't expect to reach heaven in one fell swoop.
A small sand making machine can process more than ten or twenty tons of gravel every day, which can increase the daily gold mining volume by more than ten or twenty times, and increase the output value to three to four thousand US dollars. However, the corresponding investment in equipment, materials
Costs such as consumption and personnel wages have increased significantly. Whether profitability can be guaranteed depends on subsequent improvements and investments.
After the shallow gold-bearing ore is mined, the difficulty and equipment investment will further increase when mining deeper along the veins. This is something Cao Mo must consider now.
In two days, Cao Mo clarified some vague points in the process by comparing the printed materials with the actual situation on site.
This is to ensure that after the materials and equipment arrive, even if he himself cannot do a good job, he does not have to worry about being shy in front of Owema, Potu and the gold miners below - this is the key to winning the trust of the gold mining team workers.
step.
Next, Cao Mo left Kabuga in Yibogu Village and was responsible for improving the original simple work shed. Even if it was a hut with earthen walls, he had to expand it into an equipment storage room first.
In addition to asking Overbama to blast more ore and hoard it, Cao Mo actually stopped the process. He first led the remaining men to widen the road along the river between the gold mining point and the tribe, and clear the dense bushes along the road.
, he didn’t want to be bitten by a poisonous snake again.
Cao Mo took Potu and another tribe young man, Pali, and drove two light off-road motorcycles back to Draculamore.
The distance from Ibogu Village to Draculamo City is less than 60 kilometers, but it takes six or seven hours to drive a motorcycle there and back, which is quite difficult; in fact, there are only a few short rural roads that are not connected.
, making it difficult for vehicles to pass.
Cao Mo thought to himself, if this was to be done in the country, local officials would not be scolded.
…………
…………
In the end, they didn't fall out. Cao Mo is still an employee of Dongsheng Group's West Africa Branch. When he returned to Dracula Mo, he naturally went back to the dormitory; his personal belongings were not thrown out of the dormitory by Yang Deshan, Guo Jian and the others.
As the cook of the West Africa branch, Lucy continued to live in the villa rented by the branch.
Of course, Lucy just kept on the phone with Cao Mo these days, and she felt very unsure.
When she saw Cao Mo coming back, she was so happy that she hugged Cao Mo with her strong body and said with enthusiasm, "I want to give you a baby." Cao Mo was so frightened that Cao Mo ducked away and repeatedly emphasized to her that the Chinese way of expressing feelings was
, much more reserved than the Yoruba people.
Cao Mo set out from Yibo Ancient Village at dusk and returned to Draculamo. It was already dark at night. Cao Mo was calling Botu and Pali was helping Lucy prepare some food. At this time, Song Yuqing heard his voice talking to Lucy.
Wearing a long plaid skirt with suspenders, she came downstairs.
Song Yuqing has snow-white skin, a slender and plump figure, and looks quite sexy in a long suspender skirt. She is in her twenties and mid-twenties, at the age when a woman has the most beautiful appearance - maybe she just slept, but Song Yuqing's complexion under the lamp is particularly special
The skin is soft and pink, and even if it is bare-faced and without makeup, it can cover up the little flaws on the face.
Seeing Song Yuqing acting like this, Cao Mo thought to himself, no wonder Yang Deshan, who usually looked like a dead fish, couldn't help but be ready to make a move.
When Song Yuqing saw Cao Mo coming back, her expression was a little complicated. She stood at the top of the stairs and hesitated to speak. Cao Mo didn't see Guo Jian and Yang Deshan, so he asked, "Mr. Yang, where are Guo Jian and the others?"
"I don't know where they went," Song Yuqing said.
This lie was too bad. Cao Mo thought that Yang Deshan and Guo Jianding had specifically ordered her not to reveal their whereabouts.
"Mr. Yang should leave Kanem..." Lucy noticed that Potu, the tribal youth who had just arrived at Dracula Mo with Cao Mo, and Pali were staring at Song Yuqing as if they were stupid, with jealous and hostile eyes.
He glanced at Song Yuqing and complained to Cao Mo in Yoruba.
Lucy has been staying in Draculamore City for the past few days, so she will naturally pay attention to the whereabouts of Yang Deshan and the others.
Cao Mo thought to himself that Yang Deshan, as a middle-level member of the group and the head of the West Africa branch, did not have as much freedom as they did, especially since he still had to keep this position.
Guo Jian came back and stayed for one night, then drove away from his residence the next day. Lucy asked about two other local employees in the branch, and one of them was taken away directly by Guo Jian.
Cao Mo guessed that Guo Jian might have brought his people back to Longta to contact other local tribes to look for other gold sources.
Thinking of this, Cao Mo just smiled in his heart. Longta said it was not big, but even if it was small, it was comparable to a county in the country.
Many mineral deposits are distributed in strips. Since gold-bearing rock formations can be found in the ancient village of Yibo, theoretically, most of the nearby tribes will have veins extending there, but professional surveys are also required.
The gold mining spots of the Ibogu tribe have long been discovered. If you want to further clarify its reserves, you may need to conduct further surveys, but even if you don't survey, you can continue to mine.
As a non-professional, Guo Jian took a local employee and went to the tribe near Longta without knowing anything, thinking he could really find a gold mine?
Do you really think shit will fall from the sky for no reason?
"Sister Yuqing, what do you think the consequences of Guo Jian's running around will be?" Cao Mo asked, somewhat curious about Song Yuqing's attitude at this time.
"Mr. Yang has a fellow from Hunan who used to be a gold prospector. He knows how to look for mines. Mr. Yang specially contacted this person and can come over after getting the visa..." Song Yuqing said a little unconvinced, but she regretted it after saying this.
, how could it be so easy to be tricked by Cao Mo?
"oh!"
Cao Mo responded, thinking that Yang Deshan's thinking was clear, so he asked Guo Jian to run away first, probably to ask him to familiarize himself with the situation first.
At present, as long as Yang Deshan and Guo Jian don't interfere with his affairs, Cao Mo won't mind whether they gain something in Longta next, or whether the harvest may be greater than him - Yang Deshan has more resources at his disposal than him.
Much more. As long as your thinking doesn't go astray, it's normal for you to gain more than him in the future.
As for Guo Jian's previous bad intentions towards him and Yang Deshan's insidious calculations against him, he needs to be qualified before he can express his displeasure.
