In the end, Nitz Oppenheimer did not want Cao Mo to intervene in the negotiations between the Oppenheimer family and Taihua, and canceled the equity pledge agreement of Cornero Energy in advance. Even Cao Mo and Abacha had fulfilled their promise to them.
; Akwa's matter has come to an end for the time being, and officially opening the restrictions on foreign capital entry still requires a process, so Cao Mo decided to take a long vacation for himself and return to China to celebrate the New Year.
This time when I returned to China, I did not transit through Cape Town, South Africa or London, England. Instead, I transited through Spain and took a look at the Crown Cement Products Factory run by Zhou Han's adoptive mother Liang Yanling in Jerez, Spain.
Due to the demand for hosting the Olympic Games in 1992, Barcelona, Spain's cement industry reached its peak. Since then, Spain's domestic economy has maintained rapid development. Large-scale infrastructure construction and rapid urban development have stimulated the demand for cement, which has also contributed to Spain's development.
It is the cement industry with the largest production capacity in Europe and the United States.
In 2006, Spain's cement production capacity reached 60 million tons, belonging to hundreds of factories, large and small. The Crown Cement Products Company run by Liang Yanling is purely a cement clinker preparation plant built near the production area of limestone and other raw materials.
Production capacity is also very limited, with only 200,000 tons of cement clinker production capacity per year.
Zhou Han initially took over the clinker plant through a shell company and handed it over to his adoptive mother Liang Yanling to run it. This was mainly because he saw that Lu Jianchao, Lu Yan and others were envious of the huge profits reaped by the Cornero Cement Plant. They needed someone to make them ignore the risks and reach out.
Steps to step on; even to stimulate Lu Jianchao's decision to build a grinding station on the south shore of Lake Cornero, Crown Cement Plant also carried out a second-phase expansion at the same time, planning to increase clinker production capacity to 400,000 tons.
Now that all the funds have been taken away by Liang Yuan, Crown Cement Plant not only needs to continue the second phase of expansion, but also has no funds needed to maintain the turnover required for daily production.
Therefore, Zhou Han urgently needed to get 10 million US dollars from Cao Mo to maintain the normal operation of the Crown Cement Plant.
"If you are worried, your 10 million US dollars can be considered as capital injection, and Crown Cement's controlling interest can be given to you." Zhou Han said, looking at Cao Mo standing on a low calcareous mountain overlooking the Atlantic Ocean.
"The demand for cement in Spain is huge, but after so many years of development, large-scale infrastructure has almost been built. There are hundreds of cement plants, large and small, and six of the internationally ranked cement giants have also set up factories in Spain.
, why should I come here to intervene when I have nothing to do? Even if we transport cement clinker from Spain to Canem, the high freight is distressing. How much money can I make from a ton of clinker?"
Cao Mo was not tempted at all by holding Crown Cement and said,
"Since you have pledged yourself to me, I am not afraid that you can really defraud me of these ten million dollars, but we have to negotiate the interest in advance. One penny of interest can be said to be very fair - when
If you can pay me back the ten million dollars, you can leave me freely."
"As long as my collateral can make you feel at ease." Zhou Han couldn't help but said bitterly.
Cao Mo glanced at Zhou Han. Although she still looked so tempting that he couldn't help but want to do something, he still wanted her to stay with him, mainly because of the mess on the south bank of Lake Cornero.
In addition to his thoughts on the Xintai Cement Grinding Station, from the perspective of the coordinated development of the north and south banks of Conero Lake, he also does not want the construction of the south bank to come to a complete halt.
.
If the South Bank is going to turn into a mess, how bold will Chinese businessmen be in the future to dare to invest and build factories in the North Bank?
The scale of the Chinese businessmen in Kanem is still very limited, and they are still in the stage of prosperity and loss. Even if grandsons like Lu Jianchao and Lu Yan are disgusting, even if Nitz Oppenheimer guards him like a thief, he
You also have to hold your nose and lean in.

Cao Mo stayed in Spain for two days, and then flew back to Xinhai directly via Madrid with Zhou Han as collateral.
It was the coldest time of the year in Xinhai at the end of the twelfth lunar month, but the airport reception hall was as warm as spring. I saw Song Yuqing in a camel coat standing in the distance and looking forward to it.
Seeing Song Yuqing with spring-like features, Cao Mo threw the suitcase to Zhou Han and ran over to pick her up.
"You..." Song Yuqing was so excited that she felt a little dizzy.
Although we talked almost every day, my heart was full of lovesickness after all. I hugged Cao Mo tightly for a while, then pushed him away embarrassedly and said hello to Zhou Han: "I will set off from the company at noon, but on the elevated
I encountered a car accident and was stuck in traffic for an hour. I thought I would be late - did you have a smooth journey? Why do you look a little tired?"
"Fortunately, I didn't get much rest on the plane." Zhou Han said a little aggrievedly.
Cao Mo booked first class for himself, and Zhou Han flew in economy class all the way.
Although she was slightly shorter than Song Yuqing, it was still uncomfortable to huddle in the narrow seat of economy class.
What’s even more painful is that I was sitting between two wretched middle-aged men, being chatted up by all kinds of people all the way, and not being able to have a good rest. I didn’t have a chance to put on my makeup after getting off the plane. How could I not look haggard?
"Oh..." Song Yuqing thought Zhou Han was not used to flying, so she pushed her suitcase to the parking lot without asking any questions.
"Let Zhou Han take a taxi to the hotel."
Walking to a black Audi, he saw Song Yuqing opening the trunk and loading Zhou Han's luggage into it. Cao Mo stopped her and said.
He told his family that he was arriving in Xinhai today, and lied that he had to go back to the company after arriving in Xinhai. He did not ask Jiaying to drive over to pick him up, but he still had to go home for dinner tonight; besides, Lily did not return to Kanem after the holiday.
I was waiting for the Chinese New Year at his house.
He and Song Yuqing wanted to spend some time together in the afternoon to express their love-sickness and resolve their physical problems. They didn't want Zhou Han to be a lightbulb.
"..." Song Yuqing glared at Cao Mo with her beautiful eyes, and said angrily, "How could Zhou Han be allowed to stay in a hotel alone during the Chinese New Year? I took her home to live in, and even packed the room for her..."
Zhou Han also didn't want to be thrown into the hotel alone during the Chinese New Year. He quickly answered the call and said to Song Yuqing: "Tell me your home address and I can just take a taxi there without disturbing you."
"Ignore him!" Song Yuqing couldn't help but put Cao Mo into the trunk and asked Zhou Han to sit in the passenger seat and drive with her.
"How about we go to the hotel to rest for a while? Look at Zhou Han's haggard face. How bad it would be for your mother to see him for the first time!" Cao Mo shamelessly suggested to Song Yuqing.
Normally she didn't think much about it, but when Cao Mo held her in a tight hug, Song Yuqing felt indescribably soft all over. But no matter how thick-skinned she was, there was no way she could go to the hotel and open two rooms, letting Zhou Han go first.
Sit in a room and wait for them to finish.
"Be honest!" Song Yuqing turned around and patted Cao Mo's stubble.
Lift the child's chin and ask him to sit in the back seat.
Today in Xinhai, there is light snow falling in the hazy sky.
The car soon arrived at Tianzifang. Song Yuqing parked the car at the street corner. Seeing that Cao Mo was sitting in the back seat and was motionless, she asked, "Master, you won't want us to help you carry your luggage, right?"
"I'm going to see the room you prepared for Zhou Han. If the room is not cleaned well, I won't agree to it - you can't wrong my assistant; I can just rush home for dinner at night." Cao Morai was in the car.
Do not move.
Song Yuqing had no idea what to do with him, so she drove the car to Houtang Street across the river and parked it in front of her new home.
Cao Mo felt a little guilty at first, but when Song Yuqing took the key and opened the courtyard door, she looked into the quiet courtyard and asked, "Where is your mother?"
"My grandma is feeling a little unwell. My mother and her aunt have gone back to Jianhu. Tomorrow we can pick my grandma up to Xinhai to celebrate the New Year." Song Yuqing saw Cao Mo's eyes light up instantly, knowing what he was thinking, and bit her
Pouring her red lips, she whispered.
"Help me take my suitcase in. I'm going to the supermarket in front to buy toiletries. It might take me a while to pick them up before I come back - just give me the key to the courtyard and I'll just open the door myself when I get back." Zhou Han said knowingly.
Song Yuqing was of course embarrassed to send Zhou Han away, so Cao Mo grabbed the key from her hand and handed it to Zhou Han, then took the suitcase into the yard and slammed the door.
Zhou Han looked at the closed courtyard door, and then heard Cao Mo and Song Yuqing laughing and cursing in the courtyard. It was as if Song Yuqing was being dragged into the house by Cao Mo. Wasn't she too impatient?
Snowflakes were falling, and there were no pedestrians in the lane. It was empty, and Zhou Han couldn't help but feel empty in his heart.
"What are you thinking about?" Zhou Han patted her cheek. When she was about to walk to the supermarket she had just passed by and saw at the entrance of the alley, she realized that her wallet and everything else were stuffed in the suitcase. In addition to her mobile phone and keys, she had
Not even any change.
Zhou Han walked alone in the snow and wandered for more than an hour, thinking that even if Cao Mo was a beast, she would not get a needle eye if she went back now.
Taking the key and opening the courtyard door, she saw that her and Cao Mo's suitcases were thrown in the living room. She walked in and was about to take out her wallet when she heard Song Yuqing's begging for mercy from the room next to the living room:
"You're a breeding pig. It's happened three times - no, it's really impossible. Zhou Han will be back soon. If she hits me, I'll lose all my skin... ah..."
Song Yuqing's tender cry of ecstasy made Zhou Han's heart flutter. Then he heard Cao Mo sucking something shamelessly. He couldn't help but think of that rainy night in a small town hotel, when Cao Mo took off her clothes.
Every time I did anything after I arrived, I felt an uncontrollable itch streak across my chest.
Zhou Han didn't listen to the corner's habit, picked up his wallet and left quietly, bought toiletries from the supermarket, and then walked into the yard to see Song Yuqing sitting in the living room wrapped up in sleepyu, with an indescribable red face.
of beauty.
"Have you come back just now?" Song Yuqing asked guiltily.
"Well," Zhou Han shook the wallet in his hand and said, "I forgot to take my wallet from the suitcase just now, but I didn't hear anything."
Song Yuqing's face turned red again and she said, "It looks like someone has opened your suitcase. I thought a thief had gotten in."
Just as Zhou Han was about to ask where Cao Mo was, he heard someone else whistling in the room, calling Song Yuqing to come in and take a bath with him. She peeked in and saw that the room was in a mess.
