"You should look back and look at the way those guys moved the wine glasses away from Lu Yan's grandson, but they were so funny!" Shen Ji, who had always been gentle and polite, walked out of the bar and talked about what he had just seen. I couldn't help laughing at this scene.
Cao Mo shrugged. Lu Yan was a bit low class in his eyes. If the grandson hadn't been provocative before leaving, no one would have bothered to pay attention to him. It was still early, so everyone found a nearby bar to sit down and order. I had a dozen beers and drank them slowly.
Seeing Xie Xinxin's worried look, Cao Mo said with a smile: "When you took two cans of Sprite and smashed them out, you didn't think that he was the young master of the Taihua Group. Are you worried now?"
Xie Xinxin rolled her eyes at Cao Mo, apparently still remembering how he and Shen Ji hid aside when they almost made a move.
Cao Mo just smiled at Xie Xinxin's reaction, but he liked Xie Sipeng's reaction today.
He has known Xie Sipeng for almost four years, and Xie Sipeng has always had a slippery character.
Even though Xie Sipeng got closer to them, and even though Xie Sipeng's own interests were plotted by the Lu family many times, he never turned his face seriously once.
Xie Sipeng's vacillating attitude meant that Cao Mo could never relax and truly cooperate with him.
Today, Cao Mo still had a bit of a temper when he saw Xie Sipeng. He could see that he was worried and caring about his daughter, so he told him to give up the way of life he always thought he was pursuing. Then we can talk about cooperation next, and some things can be done Become simpler.
Cao Mo is not intolerant of people who have their own ideas and interests. He is not that domineering, but no matter what, the collaborators he chooses cannot one day be drawn over by Han Shaorong and the Lu family, who have long been sworn enemies. Use him as a bargaining chip; you can't act without any limits.
Xie Sipeng may not have much capital at his disposal, but even putting aside the friendship over the past few years, Xie Sipeng's extensive contacts among Chinese businessmen in West Africa are extremely valuable in themselves.
At this point, Yang Deshan cannot completely replace Xie Sipeng's position.
Xie Sipeng seemed to have overcome a mental barrier. At this time, he was sitting in the corner of the bar chatting, but he was able to reveal his true inner thoughts:
"I said I'm not very old, and it's still early to retire. But I followed my uncle to the Yunnan-Guizhou area to pan for gold when I was sixteen, so I have some experience. However, after thirty years of wandering, I haven't been able to settle down in one place. Gen, now my mind is full of thoughts about where I will transfer to the sand field next year, and today I was kicked out of the bar by a few losers with no hair. It is a failure... Before I arrived at Kanem, In order for Anchen, Xinxin and the others to study peacefully in Xinhai, they bought a villa in Tianhong. The price was already very scary at that time. This time I went back to China and asked about the house price, and it actually quadrupled. I was a little confused, thinking When I invested all my money in the house, my net worth was no lower than it is now, so why have I gone to Kanem all these years ago?"
"I wonder why you have been so unmotivated these past few days? Then it's not too late for you to spend your money back home to buy a house. Maybe it will increase three or four times in ten years!" Cao Mo said with a smile. .
Although Cao Mo teased Xie Sipeng, Shen Ji still knew what Xie Sipeng was regretting.
Xie Sipeng, who had already been financially free for a long time, had been mainly speculating in his career in Kanem over the years. This also led to him seeming to have a lot of money, but he did not have a career that he was proud of and was quite disappointed.
However, if he were to be considered a failure, how many people across the country would have to wipe their necks and bring him down?
Cao Mo, Shen Jun and Xiao Jun sat down with Xie Sipeng, mainly talking about Africa.
Don't look at Xie Anchen, Xie Xinxin is both the son and daughter of Xie Sipeng, but they are actually very unfamiliar with things in Africa. I feel dizzy when I hear them. I don't understand why they laugh, and I don't understand why they frown and sigh at a common thing. ; They couldn’t get a word in, so they kept silent.
Sitting silently drinking beer, I even felt a little bored.
At almost ten o'clock, Qian Wenhan called: "Cao Mo, where are you now?"
"Jinxi Road, with Shen Ji, Lao Xie just got kicked out of a bar, so he went to a new bar to drink."
"I just met Zhou Shenhe and was looking for a place to kill time. Send me the address and I'll drag Lao Zhou over to drink with you," Qian Wenhan said.
Cao Mo picked up the disposable lighter with the address and store name printed on it on the table and texted the address to Qian Wenhan.
"Why is Qian Wenhan coming to see you now? How can he still be without wine?" Xie Sipeng asked curiously.
"The data from several key exploration wells in Wusang River for C2-level reserve evaluation have come out one after another. Zhou Shenhe should also have obtained first-hand data from three of the wells," Cao Mo said.
Xie Sipeng could also see that Cao Mo's focus this year was entirely on the Wusang River copper and gold mine.
Although Cao Mo personally did not devote all his efforts to Akwa and even stayed in the country for a longer time. Although the direct investment and construction of the Wusang River copper-gold mine was still proceeding according to the plan of developing a medium-sized copper-gold mine, Cao Mo Mo even intends to slow down investment and construction in Canem and Benin, and spend a large amount of funds and manpower on dere that should not be prioritized in the first place. It will not see benefits in the short term, and the downstream market may encounter bottlenecks. Regarding the cocoa plantation project, this is a very clear trajectory for Xie Sipeng.
In addition to Tubman Security Consultants, Cornero Security Company also applied for a license and registered a branch in Akwa.
Xie Sipeng has had many contacts with Cao Mo and is familiar with his style of doing things. All this shows that Cao Mo's investment expectations for Akwa have far exceeded that of Kanem, for whom he has already laid a foundation.
The economic potential and population size of Kanem are much larger than that of Akwa. The main production base and market of Cornero Cement are in Kanem. The assembly plant of Tianyue Industry and more than 60% of the market are in Kanem. Ibogu Mining and Longta contribute more than 60% of the gold mining volume.
Under such circumstances, Cao Mo tilted all investment and manpower towards Akwa, which only shows that the benefits involved in the Wusang River Copper and Gold Mine are beyond imagination.
Qian Wenhan and Zhou Shenhe couldn't wait to see Cao Mo as soon as they got the new exploration data, which undoubtedly proves this point.
Of course, the new exploration data is the core secret of Yibogu Mining. Xie Sipeng will not ask any more questions. He only has envy in his heart and does not know whether Yibogu Mining will soon grow into another Xinhai Gold Industry.
Qian Wenhan and Zhou Shenhe rushed over quickly. There was a traffic jam on a section of Jinxi Road, so they got off the car and walked for a while to meet up with Cao Mo and the others.
"What did you do that was so outrageous that you were kicked out of the last bar?" Qian Wenhan sat down and asked with a smile.
"Lao Xie's son and daughter," Cao Mo introduced Xie Anchen and Xie Xinxin to Qian Wenhan, whom Zhou Shenhe knew. He briefly mentioned the unpleasantness just now and said with a smile, "We are not local snakes after all. We were kicked out by the bar manager in such a dejected manner. come out……"
"Call Gu He and tell him about the situation," Qian Wenhan turned around and followed the assistant's instructions, then turned back to Cao Mo and said, "I was shocked if I told you how big the matter was.
This Gu He is the founder of Tianlan and the son of a friend in the industry. He came back from studying abroad to work on new consumer industries, bar culture, new consumerism concepts and so on. He fooled us hard and 'cheated' us away.
We invested tens of millions, but now it seems there is no improvement compared to the traditional bar industry. I asked him to come over and calm your nerves."
"Don't," Cao Mo said with a smile, "It seems like something big has caused us to come over and cause trouble..."
Cao Mo just saw some differences between Tianlan Bar and traditional music bars. Now that he knows that the founder is a returnee from overseas, he understands a little bit.
He didn't care at all whether he apologized or not. What he was interested in was the different perspectives of various people.
Insights and understanding of domestic economic and industrial development.
If Gu He was brought over to sit down and have a chat, it would be able to make up for his shortcomings in this area.
Xie Xinxin stared at Cao Mo with wide eyes, and then looked at Qian Wenhan and Zhou Shenhe, who had just sat down, with their unattractive appearance, wondering what their identities were.
In her eyes, her dad is a nouveau riche who has a lot of money but won't get much respect in the city of Xinhai. She always feels that the friends her dad has made are not high-level enough to build Tianlan's business.
People shouting and drinking?
Of course, Qian Wenhan's point was not to rush here to vent his anger on Cao Mo. There are three exploration wells in the Wusang River Copper-Gold Mine, which were contracted by the Xinhai Gold Industry Geology and Mining Exploration Institute. They are all drilled to a depth of 400 meters. In addition,
Yibogu Mining's own exploration subsidiary has also drilled four exploration wells outside the Wusang River copper-gold mine under construction. The operation time has doubled, and it is believed that it has reached the standard depth of 600 meters.
For the first three exploration wells, Zhou Shenhe has just obtained the latest data, which can theoretically provide a basis for C2-level reserve assessment.
Obviously, all the porphyry layers on the east bank of the Wusang River have been mineralized, and there may even be small-scale mineral veins formed on the west bank.
In the early days, Stru Gold Mining Company carried out exploration operations in the current mine area under construction based on the contact zone theory. Ibogu Mining also concentrated on this area in its subsequent mineable reserves exploration operations, which has a negative impact on the entire copper and gold industry.
The assessment of mineral enrichment areas and average grade is actually biased.
The actual metallogenic center of the entire copper-gold mine is about 20 to 25 kilometers away from the north of the current mine, which means that the ore grade in the Wusang River copper-gold mine enrichment area and the entire economic mining area is higher than
The previous evaluation was much higher.
Zhou Shenhe does not have data on the other four C2-level reserve evaluation exploration wells owned by Yibogu Mining, but based on his years of experience in the industry, the actual reserves of gold and copper metal held by Yibogu Mining, even if they do not exceed Xinhai Gold
In terms of karma, there won’t be much difference.
"Xinhai Gold and I each invested RMB 100 million into the Wusang River copper and gold mine, and only wanted 20% of the shares of this project." Qian Wenhan poured himself and Zhou Shenhe a glass of wine and said straight to the point.
Xie Sipeng was shocked when he heard this. He knew that Qian Wenhan was talking about US dollars. In other words, the Wusang River copper-gold mine project was worth one billion US dollars in the eyes of Qian Wenhan and Zhou Shenhe?
"Mr. Qian, you are driving down the price too hard," Cao Mo took out his new business phone that could send and receive emails, opened an email directly, and handed the data of the other four C2-level exploration wells to Zhou Shenhe, and Qian Wenhan looked at it, "
At this price, I can only give you 10% of the project shares. This is still the current price. Mr. Qian, you also know that as long as the international gold price remains unchanged, I will not be short of funds..."
"10% is too low. There are too many uncertain factors in Akwa. Lao Zhou proposed a plan. It is impossible for the board of directors of Xinhai Gold to pass it. You have to give up at least sixteen points to Xinhai Gold.
It's easy to talk to me and Lao Zhou." The interests involved were too great, so Qian Wenhan insisted on bargaining.
"12%. At Xinhai Gold, you do your work first. If you can't pass it by the board of directors, don't worry. You can inject money first. There are many unstable factors in Akwa, but there will be an election before the year, and currently
The general election situation has also become clear. I don’t think the problem is big. You can give money a try and turn your bicycle into a motorcycle..."
In principle, Cao Mo naturally hopes that Xinhai Gold can inject capital. After all, Xinhai Gold, as one of the top twenty gold companies in the world, provides a large amount of technology, manpower, downstream copper and gold smelting, ore import and export trade, and funds.
resources and cooperation opportunities to promote the development and construction of the Wusang River copper and gold mine.
Of course, for a large state-owned listed company, the approval process for foreign investment is relatively cumbersome, but it is Sun Hung Investment's capital injection. It is just a matter of Qian Wenhan's words. As long as the official C2 level reserve assessment report comes out, the agreement can be signed directly.
