Tianyue is located on the east bank of Zhiyun Lake. I am sitting in the office on the second floor in the evening, looking out at the lake illuminated by the sunset through the floor-to-ceiling glass windows. A breeze blows and ripples the waves; there is a patch of ginkgo in the distance on the lake shore.
It is early winter in the woods, and the leaves are golden, which is even more dazzling under the sunset, like a golden ocean.
At this time, Cao Mo felt that it was worthwhile to spend tens of millions to overhaul the building structure of the old warehouse and replace the lakeside side with glass curtain walls.
If there is any regret, it is that Zhiyun Lake is less than a thousand acres in area and the lake is not vast enough.
Cao Mo sat leisurely in front of the window, thinking about many things in his mind.
As the international gold price has risen sharply since the end of August, the profitability of Ibogu Mining has increased rapidly, and the capital flow is abundant in a short period of time, which means that the remaining 500 million yuan for the transfer of the Fanye River Gold Mine and the Gulf of Guinea Shipping Equity
, there is no need for the time being to go through the extremely troublesome process of converting it into US dollars and sending it to Africa.
However, the securities market is obviously overheated, and even after the new high in mid-October, there are already signs of weakness.
Even Qian Wenhan had reduced his holdings of Xinhai Gold's stocks at a high level. Cao Mo certainly couldn't use this money to rush into the securities market for investment.
However, do these funds need to be deposited into a bank account to earn interest?
At this time, Cao Mo discovered that he had been in Africa for many years, and his understanding of domestic cities, industries and other aspects of development was more based on direct sensory understanding, and it was far from a deep understanding.
"What are you thinking about?" Zhou Han knocked on the door and came in. Seeing Cao Mo sitting in front of the window, his brows furrowed as if he was worried about something, he asked curiously.
"Worry, worry!" Cao Mo sighed.
"What are you worried about?" Zhou Han asked curiously.
"Worrying about how to spend more than five hundred million!" Cao Mo covered his forehead with his hands, spread his fingers wide open, looked at Zhou Han's face, and asked, "How do you think I can sleep well tonight?"
"
Zhou Han just wanted to give Cao Mo a few looks.
At present, there is still 180 million in cash in the account of the domestic parent company, but after signing the Fanie River Gold Mine transfer agreement with Xinhai Gold, the 360 million in cash will soon be transferred within the agreed period.
Come here - it's really worrying. Zhou Han was so worried that he wanted to throw the book in his hand at Cao Mo's face.
Although Shen Ji and others advocated cooperating with Qian Wenhan and Ge Jun to take this opportunity to expand the Gulf of Guinea Shipping Company, Cao Mo decided to find some books on trust capital first. It seemed that Zhou Han ran away.
After spending two hours in the bookstore, I bought a stack of books. At this time, I threw the books into Cao Mo's arms angrily. He stood in front of the window and looked at the orange-red sunset above the forest tops on the other side of the lake. Cao Mo had to admit that he had taken this piece of
The land and warehouse were bought and transformed into the Tianyue headquarters building. Whether the value will be increased is another matter, but it is really enjoyable.
Cao Mo flipped through the catalog casually, occasionally glancing at Zhou Han's back.
Zhou Han had just returned to the office and took off his jacket. Now he was wearing a pair of black trousers and a lace white shirt, a very cool color combination.
Zhou Han is not as tall as Song Yuqing, but his body proportions are excellent. Standing in front of the window, he looks slim and slender, and his plump and plump arms stretch out his trousers, outlining his attractive curves; his slightly curly long legs
Her hair fell down like a waterfall, slightly revealing a corner of her neck, and it was so white and pink.
"Beep..."
At this time, Cao Mo's cell phone on his desk vibrated, and Zhou Han was startled. He turned around and saw Cao Mo sitting there without any intention of reaching out for his cell phone. He glanced at him and said angrily: "You're too lazy." Now that you’ve become a sperm, your phone is right there, and you want me to get it for you?”
"What's wrong with the secretary?" Cao Mo said.
Zhou Han didn't answer Cao Mo's words. He walked to the desk and picked up his cell phone. When he saw Shen Ji's phone number, he handed it to Cao Mo and said, "Shen Ji is looking for you."
"You've been away from me for less than two hours, why are you thinking about me?" Cao Mo answered the phone and asked.
"What other arrangements do you have in China these two days?" Shen Ji asked on the phone.
Cao Mo returned home this time specifically to sign an agreement with Xinhai Gold Industry. Apart from this, he just took a few days off as a vacation.
To say busy, it must be very busy. In the morning, I have to have breakfast with Song Yuqing, in the morning I deal with daily work matters, in the afternoon I play with cars or read a book, and in the evening I have to eat and go shopping with Cheng Xi. It is simply impossible to do everything.
However, if Shen Ji really has something to do or wants to make a dinner date, he can just say hello at any time. There is no need to make a special phone call after leaving just two hours ago.
"What's wrong with you?" Cao Mo asked.
"If you don't have anything special to do, let's go to Chonghai for two days and treat it as a vacation - it's the season to eat mutton, pufferfish, and seafood in Chonghai at this time, and the weather is good..." Shen Ji said.
"What you said is so false. I'm not an eighteen-year-old girl. What could have happened to make you so easy to deceive?" Cao Mo asked.
"I just thought that you have more than 500 million in your hands, and you may have no way to spend it in a short period of time, so you may be a little worried..." Shen Ji said.
"My God, Dongsheng is in Chonghai with a dish as big as Jinying Lake. He's just trying to get this little money in my hand. What's the matter?" Cao Mo shouted, slapping his forehead.
"Whether you vote or not is your business. No one can hold your hand to sign, but as a Dongsheng person, I have to drag you to Chonghai for a tour!" Shen Ji said.
"Okay, you can arrange your time. I have nothing to do anyway," Cao Mo said.
Shen Ji called at this time, it was obviously Ding Zhaoqiang's intention.
Regardless of whether he and Ding Zhaoqiang share the same temperament or not, based on their cooperation in Kanem in the past few years and his relationship with Shen Ji, Cao Mo knew that the trip to Chonghai was definitely going to be a waste of time. Just don't let go.
Song Yuqing walked in with a bag in her hand, as if she had come to invite Zhou Han to get off work. After hearing the second half of the call between Cao Mo and Shen Ji, she asked curiously: "What were you talking about on the phone? How did you mention it?" Dongsheng’s project in Chonghai?”
"How tight is Dongsheng's financial situation now?" Cao Mo asked Song Yuqing.
Song Yuqing was in charge of the country and could meet with Shen Ji, Chen Rong and others every now and then, and they were more familiar with Dongsheng's situation than he was.
"Affected by the large flow of funds into the securities market, the sales of several properties developed by Dongsheng in Xinhai this year have dropped much compared with last year, and house prices seem to have also dropped somewhat - real estate development
Development has very high requirements for capital circulation, and Dongsheng Real Estate has expanded too fast in the past two years," Song Yuqing said. "As far as I know, all the stocks of listed companies held by the Ding family have been mortgaged, and all the funds raised have been pledged. The real estate project has been launched, but the actual construction and payment collection scale of Dongsheng Real Estate this year has not been included in the financial report of the listed company, so I don’t know. If you want to know the details, just ask Mr. Chen directly..."
"I'd better not ask." Cao Mo curled his lips.
Ding Zhaoqiang now wants to use Shen Ji to do his work. He can pretend to be confused. If Ding Zhaoqiang puts pressure on Chen Rong to do his work again, won't he cause trouble for himself by asking more questions?
"Zhou Han, let's go..." Seeing that nothing happened, Song Yuqing directly asked Zhou Han to leave.
"What time does it take for you to get off work now? Be careful, I will deduct your salary." Cao Mo asked.
"It's half past five, it's time to get off work, isn't it? If you let us have dinner, can you still spend time with your other three girlfriends?" Song Yuqing stared at Cao Mo with her black and white eyes open.
"Cough, cough, not that much..." No matter how thick-skinned Cao Mo was, his eyes still flickered and he raised his hands to express surrender.
"Yes, you shouldn't be nice to a scumbag." Zhou Han gloated, clapped his hands and laughed.
"Shen Ji asked me to go to Chonghai. Do you want to go there together for two days?" Cao Mo asked, "Is your aunt still in the Chonghai project?"
Dongsheng initially cooperated with Yucheng Real Estate on a small development project in Chonghai. Later, Dongsheng injected a large amount of capital into the project company, obtained a large proportion of the controlling stake, and negotiated with the Chonghai Municipal Government for the east coast of Jinying Lake. Although the project will be developed as a whole, Yucheng Real Estate still retains a small stake in this project and has not completely withdrawn.
However, Cao Mo only knew the general situation. He didn't know whether Song Yuqing's aunt Su Xiu was still working in the Ziying Lake project.
"Well, my aunt is still working in the Jinyinghu sales department..." Song Yuqing said hesitantly. Of course she wanted to spend more time with Cao Mo, but after arriving in Chonghai, she would definitely go to the site to see the project and follow her. Things are a bit complicated when it comes to contacting and eating with my aunt.
"Then let's go together! The worst I can do is pretend that I'm not familiar with you!" Cao Mo said, "Shen Ji and I can take this opportunity to inspect the nightclubs in Chonghai without having to pester you..."
…………
…………
To avoid being caught by Cheng Xi's mother, Cao Mo parked his motorcycle in front of the subway station on the north side of Yinguang Building.
It was the rush hour after work, and the bustling crowds of people crowded into the subway entrance, as if a giant beast opened its bloody mouth and swallowed up these fresh lives. Although I had grown up in a crowded alley since I was a child, even at this time , Cao Mo still felt an unspeakable sense of depression when he saw this crowded flow of people.
"Cao Mo!" Cheng Xi stood in the crowd. When she saw Cao Mo, she waved her hands happily and trotted over. Her bright and pure face, illuminated by the last ray of light, was so dazzling, as if in the cold current. A handful of blazing flames.
Cheng Xi was wearing khaki casual trousers and a dark short-sleeved coat. She ran over happily with a shoulder bag, stood in front of Cao Mo, waved, and asked with a smile: "I'm dumbfounded. I never had the chance to see such a beauty in Africa." A beautiful woman, right?”
"Yes, Xiao Jun has been in Africa for a year, and he asked me a few days ago if he was mentally abnormal, because he was so pleased with the sows in the pen..." Cao Mo said with a smile.
"Ah, you dare to laugh at me as a pig..."
Cheng Xi stretched out his finger to flick Cao Mo's forehead. Seeing that Cao Mo was about to hide, Cheng Xi grabbed his ear with one hand and flicked his head. Then he got in the car and hugged his waist from behind, touching his face. Gently stick to it, turn into the motorway, and drive towards Tianzifang.
After making an appointment with Yu Jing, Chen Chang and the others to have dinner at a Hunan restaurant in Tianzifang, Cao Mo drove Cheng Xi home first and put the car back in his yard.
Jiaying and Han Shuyun were both at home. As soon as Cao Mo and Cheng Xi entered the house, they saw Han Shuyun standing in the living room complaining to her mother Chen Rong:
"The house here doesn't even have a garage. It's only been two days since my dad gave me the Ferrari. I parked it in the underground garage and people marked it several times without finding out who was there - waiting for the McLaren that dad gave me.
What should I do if it’s shipped to China? It’s impossible to park it in a public garage, right? Where can I park a supercar in a public garage?”
It is unlikely that Chen Rong will buy a supercar for Han Shuyun. Even if she can't get enough to buy Han Shuyun a supercar, she will never buy another supercar after the previous one has been scratched a few times, without even thinking about it.
Knowing that it was Han Shaorong's handiwork - there is nothing we can do about it. People like Han Shaorong are the most powerful in this bull market.
Huamao's investment route is very hidden and difficult for outsiders to see. Cao Mo lacks information sources in Africa and does not know how Han Shaorong's net worth has increased during this bull market.
However, considering that Qian Wenhan's net worth may be 15 to 6 billion in this bull market, and he also holds a huge amount of 3 billion in cash, Cao Mo guessed that Han Shaorong's net worth at this time must be 7 billion.
Eighty billion.
Of course, this is only Han Shaorong's personal net worth. Cao Mo has no idea how rich the capital he secretly controls is; he may be considered rich now, but compared with Han Shaorong, it is not on the same level.
Even at this moment, New Steel Union has not held a shareholders' meeting to vote on the new share reform plan, but this can only be regarded as a small setback for Han Shaorong in this bull market, and will not prevent him from going big on other projects.
Harvest.
It's probably because Han Shaorong didn't want Han Shuyun to stand out too much, otherwise he might just give Han Shuyun a Bugatti Veyron to drive around.
"If you don't want to park in a public garage, what else can you do? You are still studying, so you shouldn't drive around in a sports car. Are you still studying?" Chen Rong scolded Han Shuyun angrily when she saw Cao Mo and Cheng Xi coming in.
, "Cao Mo, you're back just in time. Your father and I are going to attend a banquet organized by the district. Shuyun will go out for dinner with you later..."
Seeing Han Shuyun's expression, he would rather eat instant noodles than go out with them later. Cao Mo agreed casually and looked at the back patio. He didn't see Mrs. Cao and asked curiously: "My grandma, who is she?"
Woolen cloth?"
"Today seems to be your aunt's fiftieth birthday, and Cao Li just came over to pick up your grandma!" Chen Rong said.
Cao Mo remembered that his aunt was two years older than his uncle, so wasn't she fifty years old?
For Mrs. Cao, both sides are sons - for Cao Mo, even if he never knows how to
Even though he was visiting his brother-in-law's house, it was impossible to stop Mrs. Cao from running there if she had something to do.
At this time, Cao Mo looked up and saw his father, who was wearing a navy blue suit, coming downstairs very stylishly. He looked very good with Chen Rong, who was wearing an evening dress. He smiled and said to Cheng Xi, "Look at how old my dad is.
Yes, and you’re dressed so coquettishly!”
"You kid, why are you talking!" Cao Xiong smiled and raised his foot to kick him over.
"Uncle Cao, you are so handsome today, no wonder you can deceive Aunt Rong!" Cheng Xi said obediently to please Cao Xiong.
"Haha, Cheng Xi still knows how to speak. You can teach Cao Mo a little..." Cao Xiong said with a smile.
As soon as Cao Xiong and Chen Rong left, Yu Jing called and said that she and Chen Chang had arrived at the restaurant. Cao Mo asked Han Shuyun: "Are you eating instant noodles at home, or are you going to a fly restaurant with us that is not worthy of your status?"
Han Shuyun turned around and went up the stairs, turned around and ran down again: "I'll follow you!"
Seeing the reluctance and hidden excitement in Han Shuyun's eyes, Cao Mo felt guilty without knowing what he was doing. What kind of monster was she trying to do?
Walking out of the yard, she strolled towards the Xiang Furong Restaurant at the corner of the street. When she walked to the restaurant and was about to enter, Jiaying was stunned for a while, took two steps back and saw the signboard, frowned and said, "Ah, brother, how do you make a reservation?"
This hotel?”
"What's wrong? Can't you eat it?" Cao Mo asked.
Tianzifang is becoming more and more famous, and its dining style is getting higher and higher.
Although Xiang Furong is newly opened in Tianzifang, it is an old Hunan cuisine brand with a history of more than ten years in Xinhai. It was considered a high-end restaurant in Xinhai a long time ago.
Yu Jing and Chen Chang are both from Hunan, and Cao Mo and Cheng Xi also like spicy food. They were researching places to eat on the phone in the afternoon, and they both chose this place in unison.
"Cao Li's family is entertaining guests inside." Jiaying pouted and said.
"..."
Cao Mo was also slightly startled. He was not in the country, but he heard that Jiaying said that his brother-in-law's family was trying to reconcile recently. He had invited his father, Jiaying, to do things several times, but his father and Jiaying ignored him.
.
His brother-in-law chose this Xiang Furong restaurant to hold a birthday party for his aunt. He must have wanted to invite his family to come and have dinner with him, right?
Even though it was difficult to get a reservation at other restaurants at this point, Cao Mo would rather take a few girls to Jinhong Club and get ripped off.
"You called Yu Jing and said that I had a heavy bleeding today and decided to let them kill me when I go to Jinhong!" Cao Mo poked Cheng Xi's arm and asked her to call Yu Jing and Chen who had already entered the restaurant.
Shout out.
"I don't want to leave, I want to go in to eat - you can change restaurants if you want, don't worry about me!" Han Shuyun said.
Cao Mo's head was as big as a pockmark, and he couldn't drag Han Shuyun away on the street, but letting Han Shuyun in, even if he didn't say anything malicious and heartbreaking, would be enough to hurt the old man's heart just by letting Old Lady Cao know that they were passing by the restaurant without entering.
Bar?
Cao Mo glared at Han Shuyun, but Han Shuyun raised his smooth chin with disdain and was about to walk into the restaurant.
Cao Mo could only drag Jiaying and walk inside with Cheng Xi, thinking that even if he accidentally bumped into her, he would have to finish his meal quickly and change to a bar to spend the night.
Unfortunately, Cao Mo walked to the second floor where they had reserved a table. Before he could meet up with Yu Jing, Chen Chang and the others, he saw Cao Li talking to her fiancé Zhang Jin at the top of the stairs...
To be honest, with Cao Li's personality, she didn't break up with Zhang Jin after that incident. Cao Mo was more or less disappointed - Cao Li glanced at Han Shuyun bitterly, and Han Shuyun raised his chin proudly without even looking.
Take a look at Cao Li.
Xiang Furong's new store opened in Tianzifang, in order to suit the characteristics of leisure tourists here, there are no large boxes for large banquets - even if there are some small boxes with a night view of the Qingtang River, they are only
It is suitable for seven or eight relatives and friends to sit around the table and have a drink.
So Cao Mo bravely walked up to the second floor and saw that all the guests at his uncle's banquet were sitting directly in the hall. Mrs. Cao was sitting next to his aunt. He thought that the brother and sister had changed their minds and agreed to come over for dinner. He was very happy.
Laugh out loud.
Not wanting Mrs. Cao to invite him and Jiaying to the table by mistake, Cao Mo hurriedly shouted at the top of his voice: "Grandma, what a coincidence, a friend invited us to have dinner here - we will go to sing after dinner soon, so I won't accompany you.
gone back!"
Without even looking at his uncle, Cao Mo quickly pulled Cheng Xi and Jiaying into the aisle on the other side of the hall, looking for the small box they had reserved.
When he walked into the box, Cao Mo didn't even say hello to Yu Jing or Chen Chang. He couldn't help but complain to Cheng Xi: "Life is so difficult. Why is it so difficult to have a meal?"
"It's not rough, Cao Mo, did you see your grandma in the hall?" Yu Jing asked curiously, "Chen Chang and I just came in, and your grandma looked a little weird when she saw us!"
Even though the two families had deep grudges, Cao Mo could understand Mrs. Cao's desire to reconcile the two families.
Which old man would want to see his two sons never have contact with each other forever?
However, no matter what, Cao Mo couldn't swallow this breath.
Of course, Cao Mo also has a strong mentality. Even if his uncle's family holds a birthday party in the hall outside, it will not affect his appetite...
"Why does your brother-in-law insist on reconciling with your family?" Cheng Xi asked Cao Mo curiously.
In Cheng Xi's eyes, Cao Mo and his uncle had been in business very early and were quite successful. With Cao Mo's uncle and aunt's sharp and mean character, seeing the turmoil in Cao Mo's family, he might have some thoughts in his heart.
I'm jealous, but there's no way I'm going to show my warm face to you.
Cao Mo didn't know what was going on. He didn't care about his brother-in-law's family in Africa.
"I heard from grandma that she seems to be doing business with someone in partnership. She lost money, maybe a lot..." Jiaying said since she was in Xinhai and knew some things more or less.
"..." Cao Mo thought that this was the case, and asked with gloating, "What kind of business did Cao Li's family lose a lot of money? It sounds so happy to say..."
At this time, Cheng Xi put his hand on Cao Mo's waist and asked him to look behind him.
Cao Mo was sitting with the box door on his back. He turned around and saw his uncle standing at the door with a constipated look on his face. He greeted happily: "Ah, I heard that your family has lost a lot of money in business. Who said that making money these days is the only way to make money."
It’s as easy as drinking cold water. What kind of business can your family lose money in these days?”
Cheng Xi patted his forehead, lowered his head to drink water, and decided not to look at Cao Mo's face for five seconds...
