Nsanger talked to his father Oppenheimer on the phone. Cao Mo didn't expect Oppenheimer to clarify his attitude at this time, but it would be nice to confirm that Nsanger's attitude had been shaken.
Cao Mo didn't have anything to hide from Brahm, so he directly opened the question and asked him about his position.
When Bram arrived, he was secretly confused when he saw that Nsange did not have his usual flamboyant aura.
Regarding the gambling agreement, Nsange had talked to him several times. Nsange's father, Oppenheimer, also talked to his father once. Brahm would certainly be happy to modify some of the terms of the gambling agreement.
Seeing the success, he still advised his father to be calm and not to agree hastily to Oppenheimer's joint pressure.
Nsanghe wanted to drag him with Abacha today, but he made excuses and pushed him away.
However, when he received the call from Nsange, his tone was quite indignant. Why did he shrink there after meeting Abacha and Cao Mo?
Seeing that Nsange's attitude had changed, Bram pondered for a while and said directly: "My father also felt that the gambling agreement was not very fair to us at the beginning, and he hoped that I would put forward some opinions, but I think Dongsheng can
Such a large investment in the construction of power stations and power plants in the upstream is based on the trust that we can faithfully implement the agreement. I advise my father to abide by the promise..."
Even though Bram's words were somewhat arbitrary, his ability to say them showed on the one hand that he was willing or able to accept such a fact, and on the other hand that he had gained control over this matter within the Rupert family.
the right to speak.
Cao Mo handed the cigar to Bram and said:
"Sika Aidete Power Grid Company intercepts profits and uses them for the construction of the power grid and roads along the line. In terms of losses, the Felician family and Abacha have no losses? And in terms of direct benefits, we Dongsheng will intercept them.
Do you put the profits in your own pockets? We don’t need to hide anything. When we negotiated such an agreement, we at Dongsheng, including us individual investors, mainly wanted to invest in Lonta in the long term and build Lonta into a business center in West Africa.
The base of the market..."
"It must be said that there is something unfair. My father still feels that our long-term interests in Lonta are not significant." Brahm's attitude towards the gambling agreement is that it is best to modify or overturn the gambling agreement, abide by the promise and maintain the status quo.
He was able to accept it, took the cigar, and said without hesitation, "Taking the Ronta-Daculamo highway as an example, Conero Energy, Dongsheng Oil Palm Plantation and Conero Lake Industrial Park will benefit the most, of course.
Yes, this is exactly what Mr. Cao said just now, you are indeed focusing on the long-term benefits of Longta."
"Conero Lake Industrial Park, Longta Natural Gas Company and Conero Power Grid Company, projects that I, Abacha and President Yang can take charge of, can all be opened and accept your investment,"
Cao Mo said,
“If Oppenheimer, a manufacturing company owned by the Rupert family, moves into the Conero Lake Industrial Park, we will also give the same preferential electricity price as Dongsheng Direct Investment Factory and other key enterprises, which is only ten cents per kilowatt hour.
From this point, you can also see that all our investments in Lonta are in pursuit of long-term returns, and if the political situation in Kanem is unstable, we must be able to accept the possible losses and investment gains.
not coming back
Possibility. You come all the way by car, enter the road to the Ibogu tribe, and the irrigation stations, farms, repaired houses, and schools along the way. We use part of the profits to do most of them, and the subsequent charges are also very low, which is only enough to cover the expenses.
Sales and operating costs, we have never thought about recovering costs, let alone making money from these projects. The reason why we are willing to use money to do these things is to think about giving back to the local area, and on the other hand, we also think that at this time
Mr. Nsangay, who is paying for it, will benefit our long-term interests. He probably won’t think that we are fools or that we have been deceived, right?”
Nsangge could be said to be completely defeated at this moment, and he was too ashamed to look directly into Cao Mo's eyes.
Bram also agreed with Cao Mo's investment philosophy and said that he would study relevant projects carefully and then discuss them with his father.
There was no rush for other aspects of capital injection. Cao Mo summoned Brahm at this time. In addition to confirming his attitude towards the gambling agreement, he also discussed the rental of motorcycles.
During this time, Cao Mo was accompanying Xu Bin, Zhou Jianjun and others were doing ground pushing, and Abacha had been in contact with Rod Sanchez Jr. several times during this time.
The Sanchez family mainly operates a motorcycle repair shop, and also invests in some stalls and a labor transportation company in the Sixth District market of the West Bank District. Based on these, there are about 3,000 to 4,000 young adults from the Sanchez tribe in southern Longta and nearby tribes.
People gathered under the banner.
There are about 1,800 people engaged in renting two-wheelers (motorcycles and bicycles), among which there are less than 200 or 300 motorcycle riders, so the scale is quite small.
Taking into account the actual situation of the Sanchez family's power, and at the same time Cao Mo wanted to penetrate deeper into the Sanchez family's gang power, he thought of directly uniting with the Sanchez family to establish a new leasing company instead of lending them a thousand Huachen motorcycles as a loan.
.
For the sake of balance, Cao Mo needs to involve more investors who can contain the Sanchez family.
In addition to the Sika family, the Oppenheimer and Rupert families are local snakes in Draculamore. Bringing them in as investors will not only benefit the business development of the new leasing company, but also provide more balance to the new leasing company.
Internal relationships within the leasing company.
One thousand Huachen motorcycles, calculated based on the preliminary market price, amount to 480,000 US dollars. However, in order to show the sincerity of cooperation, this batch of motorcycles will be imported into Kanem in the form of parts. As long as the new leasing company
With active cooperation in marketing and other aspects, the selling price can be significantly reduced to US$300,000.
Generally speaking, a new leasing company only needs an initial capital injection of US$500,000 to operate, which is really not a large-scale investment project.
At present, Cao Mo is mainly considering Brahm's personal participation in investment; if Nsange wants to participate, Cao Mo will certainly not refuse it. This weak and wavering element should fight for it as much as possible if he can.
"We cooperated with the Sanchez family to establish a rental company. We considered several operating methods and finally decided to establish a more common rental company model. Currently, there are several related motorcycle rental companies in Draculamo, and the vehicle depreciation is approximately
, insurance, management and other expenses are all included in the calculation. The price of contracting to our riders to carry passengers at a price of three US dollars per day is still quite high, which limits the development of these companies. We have reduced the daily rental fee to two US dollars per day.
There are quite good ones
"Profit rate," Cao Mo and Brahm Nsanger introduced, "Of course, in terms of initial investment, this may be a very small project. No matter how high the profit rate is, the annual dividends to investors will be quite limited. However,
The most attractive thing about this project is that we estimate that Dracula Motor can accommodate 40,000 to 50,000 motorcycles operated by regular rental companies. However, the total number of motorcycles currently operated by Dracula Motor in a more regular manner is less than 2,000.
There is a lot of potential for this vehicle to be tapped. Of course, it’s uncertain what step we can take in the end, or whether we may be squeezed out of the market by various unexpected factors in the early stage and lose all our money..."
"Tomorrow I will invite Rod Sanchez Jr. to Ibogu. If you want to participate in investment, you need to make a decision as soon as possible." Abacha said.
"Okay, I'll think about it and I'll definitely give you an answer tomorrow." Bram said simply.
…………
…………
The next day was still at the small building by the lake. Abacha brought Rod Sanchez Jr., the leader of the Sanchez family, to meet with Cao Mo.
The Sanchez family was originally a small tribal chief family under the Sica family. They had little success in running plantations. The main members moved to Draculamo very early to work hard.
Rod Sanchez Jr., or Mr. Sanchez Jr., is the third son of the Sanchez family. In his early years, his two brothers led the Sanchez family to compete for the dance hall and bar business in the Sixth District of the West Bank District.
The forces plotted against him, and he was shot to death on the street.
Rhodes is in his early thirties, with a strong build and a scar on his nose and left cheek. He looks fierce but has a rather humble attitude.
When he entered the lakeside building, he not only left his armed bodyguards outside the fence, but also took the initiative to hand over a Colt semi-automatic pistol he carried to the bodyguards outside, before he and several assistants accompanied Abacha.
Entering the lakeside wooden building.
Sitting down and talking, Cao Mo could tell that Rhodes was still a very traditional person, and that Abacha and the Sika family still had a certain status in the eyes of Rhodes and his assistants.
Cao Mo was also able to confirm that the Sanchez family was severely suppressed by local forces in Dracula Mo, and Rhodes himself was eager to obtain external support.
At this time, Cao Mo focused on whether Rhodes himself or his subordinates had the operational management capabilities to take charge of the new leasing company, or whether he could accept professional managers to manage the new leasing company.
Of course, Cao Mo didn't expect to get it right in one go.
There were serious conflicts with local gangs in his early years, but after Rhodes took charge of the Sanchez family, the gangs were not driven out or fell apart, which shows that he is still a capable and tolerant person.
If Rod Sanchez Jr. is unable to run a formal enterprise in the future, as long as he is not too stubborn in his thinking, there is no room for adjustment.
Rod Sanchez Jr. said that the family hopes to take control of the new leasing company, and Cao Mo also respects this.
It wasn't that Cao Mo looked down upon the interests of the new leasing company, but there were times when he couldn't be too greedy.
In the early stage, apart from establishing a relationship with the Sanchez family, he did not have much energy to participate in the operation of the new leasing company, and the manpower he could use now was also very tight...
