After hearing Cao Mo talk a lot, Shen Ji was a little surprised.
In his opinion, Cao Mo was young and energetic, and very courageous in his work. His investment actions should focus on opening and closing, and he should like to make quick money. However, he did not expect that he would pay so much attention to the development and improvement of the details of the industry.
"The cash you keep in your hand is mainly used to prepare for the third phase of the Cornero Cement Plant?" Shen Ji asked.
"It is too difficult to deal with two groups of enemies at the same time. When the Cornero Cement Plant will launch the third phase project will still depend on whether the Jidam family declines quickly enough." Cao Mo said in a low voice.
Currently, in the cement market in the southwestern coastal area of Kanem, dominated by the city of Draculamo, in addition to them and the three cement plants near Draculamo, the West African Cement Group controlled by the Stanning family actually occupies 50% of this market. share.
Although the promulgation of the cement import ban led by the Stanning and other families is also very hated in Kanem, the West African Cement Group, which has a total annual production capacity of more than 5 million tons in Kanem and other West African countries, is in Kanem. Naim's foundation is still very deep and cannot be easily offended.
If the Cornero Cement Plant completes the third phase of the project, its new production capacity will reach 800,000 to 1 million tons. At that time, it will inevitably compete directly with the West African Cement Group controlled by the Stanning family for the coastal market in the southwest of Canem. With the leading position, conflicts are inevitable.
Cao Mo did not want to provoke the Stanning family until the hidden danger of the Jidam family was completely weakened to the point where it was unable to pose a fatal threat to them.
Taihua teamed up with the Jidam family to acquire the Beku Cement Factory and directly started construction of a grinding station with an annual capacity of one million tons on the south bank of Lake Cornero. This actually attracted most of the attention of the Stanning family for him. .
The Conero Cement Plant has been under construction for the past year and has developed rapidly, but it has not directly broken the cement market balance in the southwestern coastal area of Canem - after all, the construction of the Conero Cement Plant is exactly what cement manufacturers across the country in Canem are doing. When we are frantically expanding our production capacity, no one can point our fingers at anyone else.
However, when the price of finished cement in Kanem successively fell below the lows before the cement storm, almost all cement manufacturers in Kanem stopped expanding, and even the survival of half of the cement manufacturers was in doubt. However, the Taihua United Jidam family If we acquire the Beku Cement Plant here and add an annual production capacity of 500,000 tons of finished cement, it would be too hateful.
When the Jidamu family was at its peak, of course they could do things unscrupulously without worrying about what the Stanning family thought of them. But the Jidamu family's prosperity has changed. What kind of catalytic effect will occur behind this? Cao Mo said You still need to observe silently for a while.
"You have been watching silently as Draculamo Port Group withdrew its capital from Conero Lake Port, and you didn't do anything secretly?" Shen Ji asked curiously.
Yang Deshan is also very curious about this issue.
After Yang Deshan's equity in Qionai Gold Mine was transferred to the Felician Family Gold Mining Company, he spent another US$1.5 million in October to increase his personal shareholding in Cornero Energy to 4%. At that time Afterwards, Cao Mo confessed their true relationship with Stari.
To this day, Yang Deshan still remembers his shock when he learned about this. However, the nearly eight million US dollars he had accumulated in half his life were completely invested in Conero Energy, Conero Lake Industrial Park and gold mining companies. He It is impossible to jump off the pirate ship.
"The Jidam family is now in ruins and everyone is pushing them against it.
We have already done what we need to do, so why should we add superfluous things now?" Cao Mo shook his head and said.
Yang Deshan glanced at Shen Ji and saw that Shen Ji obviously didn't believe it either. He didn't believe that Cao Mo was telling the truth even more. He couldn't help but look at Aba with Shen Ji.
"I don't know either. Don't look at me - Mr. Cao Mo just told me that it's good for us to know the results of some things. Knowing too many details can easily reveal our flaws in front of the enemy." Abacha raised his hand and said.
Since Abacha said so, Shen Ji stopped asking further and asked: "I won't ask about the specific details, but when Lu Jianchao comes to Kanem this time, how do you think they will handle this matter?"
"It's a coincidence that we had just moved here to have a drink when I received an inside message saying that Lu Jianchao intended to use this opportunity to decouple from the Jidam family. They should raise funds to fully take over the construction of the Kenai Lake Port." Cao Mo said.
"What kind of insider was bribed by you to know such a secret?" Shen Ji asked curiously and shocked.
"I didn't bribe anyone. Someone took the initiative to contact me to provide information about the situation there. I was able to respond to the messages several times..." Cao Mo said.
"Then what does this man want to do?" Shen Ji asked.
"It's nothing more than borrowing a knife to kill someone," Cao Mo said. "For example, this time, this person sent me such news. He just hopes that I will use this matter to provoke the Jidamu family to fight with the Lu family. This person can do anything." No need to do it, just wait and reap the benefits..."
"Can you guess who this person is?" Shen Ji asked.
"Who could have guessed this?" Cao Mo spread his hands and lied without any psychological pressure, "Of course, this person's calculations are completely useless to me, because I also want to do nothing and just wait and receive. What a fisherman’s profit!”
"Would you like to take a look at Agwa this time?" Shen Ji asked.
"We have so much free time in Kanem. You must want to go, so I will go with you..." Cao Mo said with a smile. He was just about to tell Shen Ji not to hold back on this trip under the current situation. With great expectations, I saw Lu Jianchao walking over from the other side of the aisle, accompanied by Huang Hebin, Zhou Han and others.
The main building of the Lana Del Rey Hotel is only eight stories high; the executive lounge and senior suites are on the highest eighth floor. During the day, through the floor-to-ceiling glass windows, you can directly see the blue Atlantic Ocean across the coconut grove.
Although the beachfront villa where Lu Yan lived was big enough, he and Chen Yao stayed and flew there together. Lu Jianchao didn't like to get involved in the private life of his juniors. This time he went to Canem and opened a high-end suite at the Lana Del Rey Hotel. .
After talking, he came out of the seaside villa where Lu Yan lived. As subordinates, Huang Hebin, Yao Haiming, Zhou Han, and Guo Jian always had to accompany him back to the hotel room before saying goodbye. They walked out of the elevator. Unexpectedly, Shen Ji and Cao They were sitting in the corner of the executive lounge talking.
"You also live on this floor?" He wanted to turn around and leave, but Lu Jianchao still walked over to say hello in a very calm manner.
"Yeah, I thought Mr. Lu would stay at Lu Yan's place today." Shen Ji stood up and said.
"Lu Yan and Chen Yao live together. Why should I join in the fun? It's quiet here in the hotel - I'm traveling around these days and I'm more used to staying in hotels than at home." Lu Jianchao ignored Cao Mo and Abacha. Calm sat there without moving, exchanged a few words with Shen Ji, and then walked to his room.
What a coincidence, the room Cao Mo stayed in was on Lu
Next door to Jianchao.
When he woke up the next day, Cao Mo was talking on the phone with Song Yuqing. Xie Sipeng rushed over, and everyone went to the breakfast room downstairs to eat together. Soon they saw Huang Hebin and others accompanying Lu Jianchao into the restaurant.
The breakfast room of the main building is located in the south corner of the hall on the first floor. Beside the corner of the floor-to-ceiling glass with the best view, there are two long dining tables. Cao Mo arrived early and occupied one of them; while Huang Hebin and the others were very considerate and prepared the table in advance.
Lu Jianchao made a reservation for one of them, so that people from both sides happened to get together.
Xie Sipeng got closer to Cao Mo, but he didn't want to offend him. When he saw Lu Jianchao, Huang Hebin and others coming over, he also walked over enthusiastically and said a few words. Lu Jianchao casually asked about his recent development.
He talked rather enthusiastically about his recent iron ore business in Akwa.
Cao Mo could understand Xie Sipeng's mentality very well.
He invested all his wealth in that second-hand ore ship, but he could not get a long-term supply contract in Akwa, and his iron ore business would face the risk of supply interruption at any time - in that case, his ship would
You can only get a little shipping fee in your hand, but you can't maximize the effect.
Now that Xie Sipeng cannot find support from them, he has to look for more resources for cooperation in the Chinese business circle of Draculamore - and Taihua and Lujia are not in the Chinese business circle of Draculamore.
It is an existence that cannot be circumvented. Taihua also holds a small amount of shares in Xinhai United Steel Group.
Although Xinhai is a modern city larger than Draculamore, the private capital that has emerged in the past thirty years is still a small circle. Taihua, Dongsheng, and Xinlian are the representatives, and each other
It is very common to participate in and hold shares, and even advance and retreat together in large-scale capital operations.
This is also an important reason why Dongsheng and the Lu family have conflicting investment interests in Kanem, but the top management of both parties can still maintain superficial harmony.
In Xie Sipeng's eyes, business is business, and there is no clear distinction between love and hate.
Even though he had suffered losses in his previous cooperation with the Lu family and the Jiedam family, if Taihua and the Lu family could help his iron ore business now, he might fall over at any time - who is called
Didn't Xie Sipeng form a deep-seated interest tie with them?
Cao Mo and the others didn't have any objections, but Xie Sipeng was somewhat eager to talk about the iron ore business with great enthusiasm. Lu Jianchao and Huang Hebin looked at Cao Mo and the others with a bit of caution and doubt in their eyes.
Cao Mo smiled contemptuously in his heart. Is it really necessary for these grandsons to be so wary?
Cao Mo was thinking secretly in his mind when he suddenly saw a hint of panic and urgency in Zhou Han's glance. He suddenly thought that among the companies Lu Yan and Huang Hebin were cooperating with, one of them was registered in Akwa and received
The oil trading company, which has a supply agreement with Akwa National Petroleum and Mining Company, plans to supply crude oil to the upcoming refinery.
Cao Mo had always thought that the cement clinker factory Zhou Han's mother invested in Spain was their key piece in bringing the Lu family and Taihua into the fold. Now it seems that this crude oil trader may be an even more critical link.
Xie Sipeng mentioned his iron ore business in Akwa at this time purely to attract the attention of Lu Jianchao and others to see if there was any possibility of cooperation. However, Lu Jianchao and others were wary and became so sensitive. It is very likely that they will be the next
Their actions were related to the crude oil trading company in Akwa, and Zhou Han was worried that their long-planned plan would be accidentally destroyed...
