The place where Xie Sipeng lives is spacious enough, but there are not too many guest rooms for so many people to stay directly.
Everyone also took a short break at Xie Sipeng's residence and then checked into a nearby seaside resort hotel.
This seaside resort hotel has a similar layout to the Lana Del Rey Resort Hotel. It is located on the seaside of Pemé Port. It has a manor-style layout. The main building they stay in has only six floors. The penthouse suite that Cao Mo and the others stayed in can overlook the blue sea and the Soft silvery white sand beach and swaying coconut trees.
Although Akwa is located near the equator, the sea breeze blowing from the Atlantic Ocean in the evening brings a slight chill.
But who would have thought that in this quiet and peaceful atmosphere, a storm of military coup was brewing?
"Zhou Han is my newly hired life assistant. She just switched jobs from Taihua. From now on, just leave some small things to her." Cao Mo asked Xiao Jun, who was running back and forth to help them with the accommodation procedures, to stop and introduce Zhou Han. Get to know him and say, "Sit down and smoke with us..."
"You are already living the extravagant life of being a secretary when you have something to do and being a secretary when you have nothing to do!" Shen Ji was also sitting on the sofa. Hearing Cao Mo introduce Zhou Han's identity, he couldn't help but stretch and join in. She turned her head and whispered a joke to him.
Cao Mo glanced at Zhou Han who was standing opposite. It was obvious that she knew what kind of jokes the man would make in private, but at this time she had completely returned to her usual disguise and shook hands with Xiao Jun graciously: "Manager Xiao, from now on If you need anything, just tell me." His clear and clear voice revealed a hint of coldness and arrogance on his pure and beautiful face.
In West Africa, young and sexy maids are easy to find, but such beautiful life assistants are really scarce; not in China, high-end office buildings are full of beautiful urban girls.
Xiao Jun was confused, but he would not break the casserole to ask anything at this time. When he sat down, he mainly talked about the sales situation of Huachen Motorcycles in Akwa.
Although Akwa's population and land area are only one-sixth or seventh of Kanem's, it is a larger country in West Africa. With a population of 30 million, it is also a market that Tianyue Trade attaches great importance to in West Africa.
After getting rid of the colonial rule in the early 1960s, after independence, Akwa, which has rich resources such as oil, iron ore, and gold, has been developing very well. However, since Saiwei launched a new military coup and seized the supreme power of Akwa After that, it strengthened its control in the field of resource development and carried out nationalization. Relations with major European and American countries rapidly deteriorated, and it was subject to a series of severe sanctions. The economy soon collapsed.
In recent years, relations between Saiwei and Europe and the United States have eased, and the economy of Pemei Port and nearby areas has gradually regained some vitality.
Peimei Port is quite well-organized, but road traffic still suffers from the drawbacks of being narrow and crowded.
Motorcycles are still the first choice for middle-income people in this city.
In addition, due to the deterioration of Akwa's relations with Britain, France and other European and American countries in the mid-to-late 1990s, it is difficult to enter a large number of second-hand motorcycles and spare parts. The stock of new and used motorcycles in Pemei Port is very low, which has also caused Akwa to accumulate over the years. The market demand potential for motorcycles is very considerable.
Xiao Jun is in charge of the Akwa market.
Sales volume in the previous month had reached 10,000 units, accounting for 15% of Huachen Motorcycles' entire West African market; and nearly 70% of Akwa's motorcycle sales market was occupied by Huachen Motorcycles.
Without competitors, the price of Huachen Motorcycles in Akwa is slightly higher, and the profit of the bicycles reaches one hundred US dollars. That is, Xiao Jun, with a team of more than a dozen people, earns a monthly profit of 100,000 yuan in Peimei Port.
The net profit has almost reached 10 million yuan.
In addition to the guaranteed performance, the team will receive a 2% commission on sales as a reward. As the leader of the team, Xiao Jun, in addition to normal salary, allowances and equity dividends, the sales reward for these two months is as high as 50,000 to 60,000 US dollars.
"The situation in Akwa may become very complicated in the near future. The recent sales and marketing plans should be a little more conservative. Try not to leave Pemei Port. If you encounter any changes, contact the embassy as soon as possible.
Or just go to the embassy first to avoid..." He personally dragged Xiao Jun to Africa. Cao Mo didn't want anything to happen to him, so he told him about the possible outbreak of a military government in Akwa in the near future, so that he could
He was mentally prepared.
Africa is a region full of wars. Even in the remote areas of Akwa, sporadic anti-government armed forces attack local governments, military camps and other departments from time to time. However, Xiao Jun has not really experienced the threat of war.
However, unlike Shen Ji, who grew up with a golden key in his mouth and received the best education in the civilized world, Xiao Jun, like Cao Mo, has more or less the aura of the rough and tumble business world.
Hearing Cao Mo talk about the Waka Military Camp, Xiao Jun did not feel much shock or fear, and said: "The atmosphere in Peimei Port is a bit abnormal. Many local distributors who have close contact with us are worried.
Seviy's promise to the international community to promote political change would arouse fierce resistance internally. Ufo Boniya was a typical hawk in the Akwa army, but he did not expect that he had already been deploying a military coup...
…”
After Xiao Jun finished his mission in Catero, he went to the assembly factory of Huachen Industry to work as an assistant to Xu Lizheng for more than a month. It happened that the manager who was sent to Akwa at that time broke his leg in the countryside and had to return to Germany.
While Gulamo was recuperating, Xiao Jun was temporarily ordered to go to Akwa to open up the market. It has been two months since he arrived.
Xiao Jun is also good at research. After arriving at Akwa Pemei Port, he studied the local market. Naturally, he paid attention to the changes in its top management and the changes in Akwa's domestic and international situation. He even felt better than when he first came to Akwa.
The new Cao Mo was more direct and profound.
Cao Mo was about to catch Xiao Jun and ask about the domestic situation in Akwa and the intricate relationships among the top management. Xie Sipeng knocked on the door with Zhang Min and said to Cao Mo:
"I made an appointment with Shabot Langming to come over for dinner in the evening. Then you, Mr. Shen and Abacha will meet with Shabot Langming?"
Akwa Petroleum and Mineral Group, in addition to serving as a government department for petroleum and other mineral management in Akwa, also directly manages large oil fields and mining areas directly under the central government of Akwa. It can be said to be the most powerful company in Akwa's economic field.
a department.
However, Shabot Langmin, whom Xie Sipeng met, as the sales manager of Mangba Iron Mine, a subsidiary of Akwa Petroleum and Mining Group, is not considered Akwa.
A senior figure in Watts, he could not even have the final say on whether Xie Sipeng could obtain a long-term supply agreement for Mangba Iron Mine.
Of course, this person is the highest-ranking figure that Xie Sipeng can win over in the iron ore trading field.
Since Cao Mo came over, he would give Xie Sipeng enough face, but he knew that Xie Sipeng would realize how terrible and uncontrollable variables the military coup would bring, and asked directly: "You really don't think about your retreat?
?”
Seeing Cao Mo going straight to the point and talking about the retreat, Xie Sipeng sighed and said bitterly: "The city gate is on fire, which will only affect the fish in the pond. What can I do? I just think that something will happen. What will happen to the people of Akwa?"
We still have to live, and the economy cannot come to a complete standstill. Business can still be done to a certain extent, right?"
We have known each other for such a long time, and today we can be regarded as sharing weal and woe. Xie Sipeng no longer conceals the specific investments in West Africa over the years. He has very little investment left in Kanem, mainly a small share of China Mall and the Kenero Lake Industrial Park, and others.
Basically all of them were transferred to Akwa.
In Ouma, which is adjacent to the Mangba mining area, Xie Sipeng directly contracted thousands of acres of land with alluvial gold production, and then divided it into small pieces and subcontracted them to gold prospectors from China who heard the news, and they collected management fees; in addition
In addition to continuing the business of buying back gold bars and exchanging U.S. dollars in Peimei Port, he also registered an engineering equipment sales agency, specializing in selling excavators, water pumps, generators, placer gold machines and other equipment needed for placer gold mining.
He invested three million dollars.
He personally invested US$5 million in the iron ore ship, Xu Sheng invested US$2 million, and the remaining US$8 million was borrowed at high interest rates. He hoped that taking advantage of the rising international iron ore prices in the past two years, he could make the most of the iron ore ship.
Pay off the loan as quickly as possible.
In this way, he can lay a solid foundation in Akwa.
Even if he knew that there was a possibility of a military coup in Akwa, he was like a gambler and had already put all his chips on the gambling table. How could he easily leave the game?
In any case, he knew in his heart that Cao Mo, Shen Ji, and Abacha were sensible people and could not be deceived. And if he handed over his capital now, he would still be able to ask for help if he really encountered difficulties that he could not withstand.
If something happened to Xie Sipeng, Cao Mo would do his best to help Xie Sipeng and would not do anything to add insult to injury. However, he did not have to worry about Xie Sipeng and said with a smile: "Old Xie, you are very ambitious. I said just rely on it."
With that little placer gold, why is it so attractive to pull you here?"
I would rather have the head of a chicken than the tail of a phoenix.
Whether it is placer gold mining or iron ore trading, although they are both high-risk and high-yield businesses, for Xie Sipeng, there is another point that is quite tempting, that is, he completes the layout of related industries in Akwa
After that, you can become a Chinese business leader in Akwa.
Maybe after staying in Africa for a long time, everyone will inevitably have a little ambition to "dominating the world".
However, Xie Sipeng's old face felt slightly hot when Cao Mo pointed it out.
