Shen Ji sneezed, rubbed his nose with a tissue, and said to Cao Mo in confusion,
"It's been really weird lately. I keep sneezing for no reason. I don't know if it's because I'm allergic or because someone is always thinking about me!"
"Then it must be that you have done too many bad things outside." Cao Mo said with a smile. He felt that Shen Ji was hiding something in his heart, but since Shen Ji didn't tell him, he didn't have to dig into it.
"That's me taking the blame for you. Others mistakenly thought that I had done a lot of bad things," Shen Ji said distressedly, slapping his forehead, "Deshan participated in the investment in the Conero Lake Industrial Park, and now the group has many Secretly and openly, I have also made a lot of shady private investments in Kanem. I’ve been really having a headache recently hearing those weird words..."
"If you don't admit it, it's over. Who will bite you? Or the blind Chen Zhi?" Cao Mo asked.
He didn't go to Dracula much during this time. He just stayed in Lonta and stared at various factories, the construction of hydropower stations, and the training of the team. He didn't have the energy to care about the internal struggles within the Dongsheng Group, and he felt that distance from him. Somewhat far.
"Some people are dissatisfied with me and won't say it out loud, but there are always a few people who dance happily. What can be done?" Shen Ji said distressedly.
"Think about how much money you can make. Everything is calm. Look at Mr. Yang now. The international gold price is going to hit a high of 600 US dollars. He is smiling all day long. He doesn't bother anyone who messes with him. He has a very good temper," Cao Mo said.
In mid-to-late March, the international gold price was sprinting towards a high of US$600 per ounce.
Xie Sipeng, Yang Deshan, and Xu Sheng jointly developed the Qiong Nai Gold Mine. In March, the profit from mining coarse gold and selling tailings gold sand exceeded US$250,000. A year ago, the profit of the Qiong Nai Gold Mine in the same period was Less than one-tenth of this.
"My little profit is nothing. Not to mention that your place will buy three new placer gold ships after the year and the refinery will be completed and put into operation. How much money will I have to put into my pocket every month?" Yang Deshan lay on a wicker chair and said with emotion, "The new cement plant in Cornero has officially been put into operation. Now you have more than 40,000 tons of finished cement production capacity. How much money do you have to make from it!"
Yang Deshan mainly focused on the construction of the Conero Lake Industrial Park and the technical upgrading of natural gas power plants, and compared the situation of the new cement plant.
Even though the price of finished cement in the Draculamore building materials market has dropped to the level of two hundred dollars per ton on the eve of the cement storm, the costs of all aspects of the Felician Family Building Materials Company are also declining, and the profit margins have not been compressed. Too powerful.
The first phase of Cornero's new cement plant was put into operation, and the monthly cement production capacity of the Felician family building materials company actually controlled by Cao Mo has exceeded 40,000 tons.
The second phase of Cornero's new cement, which started construction in the middle of last month, has a larger production capacity. Cao Mo has invested nearly twice as much money as expected. When it is put into production, it will increase the monthly cement production capacity of Felician Family Building Materials Company. It is possible to exceed 80,000 tons.
By then Felician Building Materials Co., Ltd. will actually become the fourth largest cement manufacturer in Kanem.
Of course, all this was due to Cao Mo's extremely decisive decision-making and the speed of building the factory. He almost non-stop invested the new surplus into the upgrading and expansion of new and old projects.
Yang Deshan and the others are much slower. The Qionai Gold Mine they invested in has made nearly two million US dollars in profits so far, but he, Xie Sipeng, and Xu Sheng all share this profit.
Now they have decided to continue adding equipment and personnel to the Qionai Gold Mine, but it will take two or three months to see the results.
Of course, as a large group, Dongsheng’s decision-making is slower.
Dongsheng's refinery in Qingshan District is facing the government
Under pressure, they had to agree to relocate to another location, and at the same time confirmed that Kanem's palm oil business could indeed contribute stable profits to the group. Only then did they decide to officially start the construction of a new factory in the Conero Lake Industrial Park.
Shen Ji came here this time publicly to start construction of a new factory.
Dongsheng still decided to put a larger palm oil refining capacity domestically, but even so, the new factory's annual crude palm oil production capacity of 40,000 tons and palm oil refining capacity of 20,000 tons also made Dongsheng in Lake Conero. Investment in the new factory in the industrial park exceeded expectations, reaching US$25 million.
In addition to this, Dongsheng also decided to invest US$10 million to build an aluminum profile processing plant in the Conero Lake Industrial Park to specifically supply the sub-Saharan African market.
The construction of these two larger-scale factories, together with the Cornero Cement Plant, has supported the framework of the industrial park, and the construction of the new town of Cornero has also come to an official start.
With the support of Blake, Oppenheimer, Rupert and other local families in Lonta, Ochosan was successfully elected to Kanem in the parliamentary election in late March, relying solely on votes from Lonta and nearby areas. Member of the House of Representatives.
The strategy that Cao Mo is now discussing with Abacha and Ochosan is that Abacha in the local area and Ochosan in the Federal House of Representatives will jointly promote the development of the Conero Lake Industrial Park as a core political achievement.
Shen Ji came over, and Ochosan, who was adapting to his new identity at this time, also rushed over to meet him to discuss the follow-up development of the Cornero Lake Industrial Park and the new town. Everyone sat on the terrace of the small building by the lake, drinking Shen Ji Mingqian new tea just brought from China.
Abacha couldn't taste the new tea, so he chewed the soft and glutinous tea leaves with relish.
The dry season in Kanem is coming to an end. The small lakeside building is located deep in the dense forest of Lungta. The weather is more humid. It is very pleasant to see the blue sky and white clouds reflected in the mountain lake and the cool breeze blowing slowly.
Lily, who returned to Ibogu for vacation with her father this time, looked slimmer and slimmer. She was running around the lake in a dark green dress, like a beautiful elf.
Cao Mo's main focus was still on the construction of cement plants, hydropower stations and mining areas. As for the development and construction of industrial parks and new towns, he just lay on a wicker chair and listened casually, not wanting to waste his brain thinking too much. many.
If you have the energy, you might as well take a closer look at Song Yuqing's round buttocks wrapped in jeans.
Song Yuqing was afraid of other people's gossip, so she lived in the staff dormitory in Cornero Lake Industrial Park after it was officially opened. It was difficult for Cao Mo to get a chance to be intimate with her, which made him really angry.
The old chief Felician called Lily from afar. After a while, Lily ran to the terrace and invited everyone to come over for dinner.
"I don't seem to have prepared anything particularly sumptuous for lunch. Let's have a lobster for each person to drink with us!" Cao Mo stood up and said, "I have improved my brewing skills recently. You can try the palm wine I brewed myself. If you want If you like, I can sell the recipe to you and open a winery..."
"Deshan and the others are so busy, how come you have time to learn how to make wine?" Shen Ji asked with a smile.
"I have just given a salary increase to Kabuga, Wendy Skaff, and Lucy. I shouldn't mention this again. It makes my heartache when I mention it. I have to do everything, Kabuja, Lucy, and Wen." Diskav will be responsible for spending my salary?" Cao Mo said with a smile.
Seeing that Shen Ji deliberately slowed down, Cao Mo stopped, took out a cigarette from his pocket and handed it to Shen Ji.
Yang Deshan and Song Yuqing looked back and saw something was wrong with the atmosphere. They hesitated whether to go to the restaurant with Abacha and Ochosan first.
Shen Ji called to them.
"What's the matter? I saw you hesitated for a long time. I felt bad for you even if you didn't say anything." Cao Mo didn't smoke much, but at this time he always found something to resolve the embarrassment.
"I haven't found out who leaked the news.
It was leaked out, but my uncle still knows where the funds for Cornero Energy come from..." Shen Ji said.
"So, Chairman Ding must have made some conditions that are difficult for you to say?" Cao Mo glanced at Shen Ji and asked calmly.
"Deshan, Yuqing and the others have worked hard and their shares are not high, but I can't hold shares in Cornero Energy," Shen Ji said with a bit of a sore throat, "Dongshenghui will invest in an equity investment fund under the group's name. To acquire my shareholding, I also hope that you can transfer 30% of the shares and let Dongsheng become the major shareholder..."
Yang Deshan was also shocked. A moment ago, he was excited about Cornero's rapid development, but he didn't expect that at this moment, the group would reach out to pick peaches.
What would happen if Cao Mo disagreed?
Shen Ji was transferred from his position as Vice President of the Overseas Investment Division, and the group sent someone else to take over the West African branch. He, Wang Jianzhong, Li Qilu, and Song Yuqing were all kicked out of Dongsheng?
In addition, Dongsheng will also draw a clear line with everything Cao Mo is engaged in?
"The group finally made a price for me to consider, right?" Cao Mo took two puffs of cigarette and then stubbed out the cigarette butt on the railing. He actually didn't like the smell of cigarettes.
"I have been fighting for a long time, but the group only agreed to pay 16 million US dollars to acquire 30% of your shares." Shen Ji said.
"Let me think about it! Let's go eat first..." Cao Mo said.
"Isn't this offer too low?" Yang Deshan couldn't help but defend Cao Mo.
At present, Cao Mo has integrated the Longta natural gas power plant and hydropower station group into Cornero Energy Investment Co., Ltd., and will successfully complete the installed capacity of 100,000 kilowatts within this year.
This is not a very eye-catching energy company in China, but Kanem, especially next to Draculamore, has a much larger profit margin for electricity than domestically.
Regardless of subsequent development, based on an average annual power generation scale of 800 million kilowatt-hours, Cornero Energy's annual net profit after deducting financial costs will not be more than US$30 million.
In other words, the annual profitability of the 30% shares that the group requires Cao Mo to transfer is US$9 million.
The key is that this does not take into account Cornero Energy's subsequent strong development expectations.
Considering that the economic and political situation in Kanem is far less stable than that in China, the value of Cornero Energy should not be evaluated based on the domestic price-earnings ratio method. However, in Yang Deshan's view, the value of 30% of Cornero Energy's shares is not worth anything. Less than $50 million.
"Dongsheng purchased your 15% stake for only eight million US dollars?" Cao Mo asked.
"The group is only willing to pay US$20 million to acquire 45% of Cornero's shares, and my share is only US$4 million." Shen Ji said. He looked at Cao Mo with a guilty conscience, and was even more worried that Cao Mo would suspect him of being involved with His uncle had a behind-the-scenes deal, and the offer was just to put pressure on Cao Mo and buy his shares at a cheap price.
"You are too talkative," Cao Mo sighed and said, "No matter who is behind it, please help me tell Chairman Ding that there is no problem if Dongsheng wants to cut off the relationship with us. I don't rely on Dongsheng." , can survive in Longta. Who can dream of taking out the controlling stake of Cornero Energy from me so cheaply? The door has not yet opened. If Dongsheng wants to join forces with Taihua and the Lu family to get me, I will It will make Dong Sheng’s investment in Kanem go bankrupt!”
"..." Shen Ji stood there and saw that Cao Mo had already finished talking. He didn't know what to say other than smoking.
"I don't have a problem with you. I believe you fought for me, but your grandpa and your uncle can start a business and establish Dongsheng from scratch. Obviously they are not vegetarians. However, we really can't be too weak," Cao Mo said to Shen Ji He smiled and said, "Let's go over to eat first. You just have to feel aggrieved first and be responsible for spreading the message..."
